Chapter 79 Commander Li, hello, I am Zhao Gang
Wang Yousheng also had his reasons for developing Zhao Defa's intelligence network.
The saying goes that there is strength in numbers. He hasn't yet tied Zhou Huaiqi to him as a second-tier teammate, so the situation is still unstable. It would be even better if he could get more support from the team.
The battlefield has been cleaned up.
Wang Yousheng did not find the body of the Japanese company commander. Zhang Dabiao said that the Japanese company commander had escaped in the chaos. Since he did not kill the company commander, he lost some merit.
After a major battle, completing five tasks simultaneously, I gained 320 merit points, bringing my total to 2760. I only need a little over 200 more merit points to unlock the advanced detection!
Wang Yousheng had thought he would have to wait a while longer, but it seems that it has been brought forward!
In terms of points, needless to say, the troops were flexible and mobile, and their tactics were unpredictable. After completing five missions in one go, they actually gained more than 80,000 points, which far exceeded his expectations.
Currently, the total points have exceeded 100,000, so another 10-pull shouldn't be a problem.
Da'an Village.
The team is back!
As soon as the troops appeared at the village entrance, Wang Yousheng spotted Li Yunlong and his comrades at a glance.
Clearly, Li Yunlong had been paying close attention to the First Battalion's operations.
The grain had been returned to the camp an hour earlier, and the soldiers who remained at the camp were all excited. That was tens of thousands of kilograms of grain!
Li Yunlong was happy, but his troops hadn't returned yet, and when he woke up that morning, his eyelids kept twitching; he had a feeling that something big was about to happen...
So he was very worried and was thinking of sending the Second Battalion to reinforce them.
But when Li Yunlong saw the guns and ammunition the soldiers were carrying, he was overjoyed after asking them a question.
A county brigade, with the support of a battalion, wiped out a Japanese company, captured a large number of light and heavy weapons, and looted all the Japanese soldiers' personal supplies.
To put it simply, the First Battalion made a fortune again this time.
Kong Jie could only stand by and watch with envy!
"Well done, comrades!"
Li Yunlong stood in front of the whole team, clapping with a joyful expression.
Kong Jie was also all smiles. Although he was only a deputy regimental commander, he was extremely happy to see his troops had a bountiful harvest.
"Good job, Lao Li. Under your leadership, the Independent Regiment has upgraded its equipment."
Li Yunlong immediately retorted, "Old Kong, you're just too honest. If you had some side jobs, you would have been a rich man in Shanxi long ago."
Kong Jie smiled helplessly. Damn it, he wanted to start a side business too, but the brigade commander wouldn't agree...
The brigade commander knew his character; he was good at defense, conservative, and fought the Japanese in a disciplined manner. He was nothing like Li Yunlong, who was so arrogant and would send his troops out to do side jobs at the drop of a hat.
While side hustles can be lucrative, they also come with risks!
He had also tried side jobs, but they were all small-scale operations. He considered capturing the weapons of a small Japanese squad as his peak.
He never received any larger spoils of war. Kong Jie once analyzed that it was because his combat skills were not as strong as Li Yunlong's!
Just this time, the 1st Battalion of the Independent Regiment went out to do sideline work, which involved the entire battalion. They should have reported to the brigade commander, but Li Yunlong not only kept it a secret from his superiors, but he practically cut off the telephone line to the brigade headquarters...
Of course, he wouldn't care too much. After all, the brigade commander had specially approved Li Yunlong to have a side business. Li Yunlong had this authority, and as long as the unit's organizational structure remained intact, he wasn't afraid of trouble.
However, Li Yunlong had failed in his side jobs before. Once, his regiment fought against two enemy companies, but was instead surrounded by a Japanese reinforcement regiment. Later, the division headquarters sent several regiments to rescue him, and Li Yunlong was able to survive. Of course, after the war, Li Yunlong was dismissed and sent to the division headquarters to feed horses.
This is the story of Li Yunlong's five ups and five downs...
Li Yunlong knew what Kong Jie was thinking, so he said, "Old Kong, there are risks in doing side jobs. I've summarized so many experiences, and when it comes to side jobs, you should be successful at least seven out of ten times."
Kong Jie laughed: "Get lost..."
After they finished speaking, the two walked side by side towards the front of the group.
At the village entrance, facing the evening breeze, the soldiers stood tall and proud, their triumphant return exuding an air of arrogance.
When the troops entered the village, six lightly armed guns led the way, and the soldiers stood tall and walked with vigor, giving off a sense of military parade!
Wang Yousheng and Zhang Dabiao ran over quickly.
The two men saluted Li Yunlong and Kong Jie.
"Commander, First Battalion, return to your unit!"
Zhang Dabiao spoke first.
Li Yunlong asked anxiously, "How much good stuff did you get?"
Zhang Dabiao chuckled and said, "Two companies of Japanese soldiers, no heavy machine guns, only six Axe rifles, ten grenade launchers, plus a few boxes of grenades. As for the bullets, we haven't had time to count them yet, but there must be at least tens of thousands of rounds."
Zhang Dabiao spoke with an air of arrogance and self-satisfaction.
Li Yunlong nodded: "Yeah, I just inspected the First Battalion and you guys have already made a fortune. Hehe, don't worry, the First Battalion will be holding a victory celebration banquet tonight."
"Thank you, Commander!"
Zhang Dabiao nodded.
"A victory celebration banquet?" Kong Jie frowned upon hearing this. "Old Li, the First Battalion has captured so much spoils of war; a victory celebration banquet should be held for the entire regiment."
Li Yunlong retorted, "What whole regiment celebration banquet? It's just the First Battalion. All the credit for this battle belongs to the First Battalion. If the Second and Third Battalions have the guts, let them show me how to make a fortune. No problem. If they dare to do it, I'll give them the power!"
Kong Jie blushed. Damn it, isn't this being a special case?
Although the Independent Regiment has won a battle, it is the First Battalion that has achieved the victory. The Second and Third Battalions will not even get any reward. What will happen to their morale?
Li Yunlong continued, "Old Kong, do you know why the New First Regiment was able to develop so rapidly in just one year? It's because we had to set rules for them! If they want to hold a victory celebration banquet, they have to exchange it for spoils of war. Without spoils, they can't just eat what's readily available. I'm not a nouveau riche; I don't have that kind of rule!"
Kong Jie had nothing to say; that was indeed the truth.
However, since the First Battalion captured over 100,000 catties of grain this time, shouldn't some be allocated to the other two battalions?
Unfortunately, he wasn't the commander and couldn't make the decision.
"Katsuko!"
Li Yunlong then turned his gaze to Wang Yousheng, "You're a real talent!"
Wang Yousheng stood at attention and laughed, "Hehe... Commander, you flatter me. It was just luck..."
"No doubt about it, you absolutely deserve credit!"
Li Yunlong had already decided that Wang Yousheng was so useful that he had to be promoted.
As they were talking, another young soldier walked up in front of him.
In his early twenties, with a refined demeanor, rosy lips and white teeth, and handsome features, this was none other than Zhao Gang!
Zhang Dabiao quickly stepped aside to greet Zhao Gang, saying, "Regimental Commander, this is Political Commissar Zhao!"
Zhao Gang, as was his custom, saluted Li Yunlong and said solemnly, "You must be Regiment Commander Li? I am Zhao Gang!"
Li Yunlong sized him up, grinned, and said, "Political Commissar Zhao, um, I'm Li Yunlong. Which unit are you from?"
Zhang Dabiao immediately added, "Regimental Commander, Political Commissar Zhao is here to be the political commissar of our regiment. We ran into him on the way."
"Um???"
Li Yunlong initially thought it was the political commissar of a friendly unit, but he never expected that it was someone who came to be his political commissar.
His face immediately fell, like a Sichuan opera face-changing act, looking somewhat annoyed.
What a damn political commissar! He's just a pale-faced scholar, and all the higher-ups do is cause him trouble...
