Chapter 6 Li Yunlong Thanks to Qin Yangming who took his troops to cause trouble for the Japanese whenever he had time. Every time he went out, he gained a lot, so his troops had a large number of mules and horses. Apart from their own guns and ammunition, all other things were carried by mules and horses. It can be said that his platoon has become more and more like a mule and horse. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Qin Yangming did not take his troops along the main road. Instead, they quickly advanced towards the new regiment's base through the mountain road. Along the way, he would occasionally meet other wounded soldiers returning to join the army. At first, when the wounded soldiers saw the Eighth Route Army team with such luxurious equipment, they couldn't believe that this was their own team. Only after seeing some familiar faces did I dare to join the group and walk together.
Qin Yangming naturally welcomed these wounded soldiers who joined in. Let these wounded soldiers see the strength of their own troops. This is to encourage these wounded soldiers to voluntarily join their troops. These wounded soldiers are all veterans who have experienced the great raids. Their fighting capacity is much stronger than those of new recruits. During this period, some wounded soldiers brought a team of new recruits to join Qin Yangming and others. Qin Yangming also met another platoon leader from the 772nd Regiment. This guy also gathered a team of about thirty people. It’s just that his weapons are not as good as Qin Yangming’s. Mainly old-style sleeves and Hanyang-made rifles. Although the weapons were poor, everyone had a gun. As Qin Yangming approached the regiment headquarters, he met more and more Eighth Route Army soldiers on the road. Among them were many organized marching troops. When these teams saw the team led by Qin Yangming, they were all shocked. "Fuck, which group is this team from? Which leader is so generous as to be willing to send out such a team to join the new group! " “I heard that the relationship between the regiment commander and the division commander is somewhat special. Could it be that this group of people were sent by the division commander to serve as a front for the new regiment commander?" "Oh my goodness, look at this: a Type 99 rifle, a Type 92, and even a mortar!"
“I counted them and found they had twelve light machine guns and two heavy machine guns. Oh my god, this is a regiment's machine gun." “Not only that, I came here from the 77th Regiment. Our regiment only had six machine guns in total. There was only one Maxim heavy machine gun. The rifling of two of the light machine guns was almost worn out. Look, they all have guns, and they are all new. Especially the Czech one which looks like new.” “Fuck, I know that leader. He is the platoon leader of our 772nd Regiment." “Oh my god, didn’t they say that your 772nd Regiment suffered heavy losses this time? What's the situation? When did your 772nd Regiment become so powerful? A heavy machine gun can be sent just like that?" “From the 772nd Regiment? That's possible. I heard that the current Captain Li is Captain Cheng's former squad leader. But Captain Cheng is too rich. I think our regiment commander originally wanted to borrow a light machine gun from the 772nd Regiment. Even Captain Cheng was unwilling to lend it. Now for my old squad leader, They even sent the heavy machine guns over. There are still so many troops.” Qin Yangming caused a sensation as soon as he led his well-organized troops into Majiagou, the base of the New 1st Regiment. There is no other reason. Among all the troops that came here, the people he brought had the best morale and the most powerful weapons and equipment. No one thought of Qin Yangming and others as wounded soldiers. After all, it is already amazing for a wounded soldier to bring back a gun with him. Not to mention raising an army and bringing back so many weapons and equipment. At the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment, Hu Zi, the guard of the regiment commander Li Yunlong, rushed into the headquarters with a smile on his face. "Captain, Captain." "What, what's your name, what happened?" A man with a wrinkled face and wearing a tattered blue-gray military uniform, who looked like an old farmer, rushed out of the house. "Are there any enemies coming?"
"No, Captain." "Then why are you yelling?" "Captain, support from the headquarters has arrived. Please go and take a look." Li Yunlong also became confused when he heard what Hu Zi said. The headquarters asked me to come to Xinyitu to be the team leader but did not give me any support. The only support he had was a guard squad equipped with Hanyang rifles given to him by his teacher just to show off. Then some old comrades gave me some equipment and personnel, but there was no other support. Even the soldiers in the army were basically composed of district squads and county brigades from various regions plus wounded soldiers returning from various units. Li Yunlong brought Hu Zi to the village entrance quickly. I saw a group of elite soldiers standing in an orderly manner at the entrance of the village. Next to this troop were more than twenty mules and horses loaded with supplies. On the way here, Li Yunlong also heard the soldiers' conversation. When I heard the soldiers say that the leader of this unit was a platoon leader of the 772nd Regiment. He subconsciously thought that this was Blind Cheng's support for his troops. "Blind Cheng is a good man. It was worth it that I taught him how to shoot a gun. I, Old Li, will remember this favor." Li Yunlong looked at the troops' morale and weapons and equipment. I was a little confused as to why the 772nd Regiment was so well equipped. But I also kept this feeling in my heart. When he came, the new regiment had just been formed. There were only a few hundred people, and their weapons were all old Hanyang-made cartridges. Most of the gun rifling was almost worn out, and there was not a single light machine gun left. The soldiers are a bunch of rookies. In terms of combat effectiveness, they probably cannot defeat the puppet army. Qin Yangming, who had just ordered his troops to wait where they were and was about to report to the regiment commander, saw a middle-aged man approaching. Although he hadn't seen him for a long time, Qin Yangming recognized this guy at a glance as Li Long who carried the big iron pot back then. When Li Yunlong saw Qin Yangming, he was also stunned. "Oh, it's you, the brat who stole my wine back then."
"Captain Li, Qin Yangming, the former platoon leader of the second company of the first battalion of the 772nd Regiment, has been ordered to lead his troops to report to you." “Okay, I understand, let your troops rest first. Come with me to the regiment headquarters. Huzi, arrange a place for the brothers to rest and ask the kitchen staff to prepare something good." Li Yunlong nodded, and then took Qin Yangming towards the regiment headquarters. As soon as we entered the regiment headquarters, a man carrying a big knife rushed in hurriedly. "Captain, commander, please assign the new company to our battalion." "Zhang Dabiao, you are well-informed. They just arrived and you're already here at the regiment headquarters." Li Yunlong looked at the visitor, smiled and pointed at him and introduced him to Qin Yangming. "Xiao Qin, let me introduce you. This is Zhang Dabiao, the commander of the first battalion under my command. Like you, I was once a platoon leader under my command, and I came from the 29th Army's broadsword team." "Zhang Dabiao, let me meet you. This little Qin is Qin Yangming, who took the blame with me when I crossed the grassland. Now he is the platoon leader of the 772nd Regiment. But now you are my soldier, Li Yunlong." "From now on, we are all brothers eating from the same pot. "You two should get to know each other." "Platoon Leader Qin, I'm Zhang Dabiao." "Captain Zhang, I'm Qin Yangming." After a few people talked to each other. Zhong Zhicheng, the political commissar and deputy commander of the New 1st Regiment, who was away to settle the troops, also came to the regiment headquarters. The four of them started talking directly around a square table. Li Yunlong took out a bottle of wine and a handful of peanuts from somewhere as if by magic. Pour some wine for everyone. Then he filled the bowl in front of him and spoke to Qin Yangming. "You're in for a treat, kid. This is the sweet potato stew I managed to get.
Although it doesn't taste as good as the barley wine you stole from me back then, it's still good stuff, give it a try." Qin Yangming drank a little and felt as if he was drinking a knife. He really couldn't swallow it. Looking at Qin Yangming coughing due to choking, Li Yunlong laughed out loud. “Xiao Qin, I knew you couldn’t drink this wine. Back then, the watered-down highland barley wine could get you drunk. Not to mention the even more severe sweet potato burn.” As he laughed, Li Yunlong started talking about how Qin Yangming had secretly drunk his barley wine. This caused several people present to burst into laughter. At this moment, I was listening to Li Yunlong talking about the embarrassing things that happened to him at that time. Qin Yangming also felt that it was a unique experience and started laughing as well. (End of this chapter)
