Chapter 163 Reward!
Li Yunlong and Wei Dayong mounted their fast horses, whipped their horses, and rushed towards the brigade headquarters.
The independent regiment is only thirty miles away from the brigade headquarters on a mountain road and can be reached in less than an hour.
As soon as he arrived at the brigade headquarters, Wei Dayong found that all the other 386 brigade commanders were there, as well as the captains of the first and second columns of the decisive battle.
Looking at this formation, Wei Dayong guessed that there might be a big move.
"Old Li!" Ding Wei roared when he saw Li Yunlong, and everyone else looked at Li Yunlong.
"Old Ding, Lao Kong, haha!" Li Yunlong greeted and went up to give his two old comrades a hug.
"Old Li, you kid stole the show!" Ding Wei said, "Not only did you rob a Japanese transport team on the Baijin Highway, you also killed an entire North China battlefield observation group and more than a hundred Japanese officers above the lieutenant level.
Isn’t it too much to give an old comrade like me two Zuoguan knives for fun?"
Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "If you want the Zuoguan Dao, that's easy. For the sake of my old comrades, I'll exchange twenty light machine guns for one Zuoguan Dao!"
"Old Li, you have gone too far!" Kong Jie curled his lips and said, "Is this how you treat your old comrades?"
"That's right!" Ding Wei supported, "Twenty light machine guns are exchanged for a sergeant's sword. Why are you here to fight against the rich?"
"You idiot Kong Er has the nerve to talk?" Li Yunlong asked Kong Jie with squinting eyes, "Give me a guarantee today. When will you pay back the hundred horses you owe me? I'm also planning to expand the cavalry camp!"
Kong Jie said: "You are extremely rich now, and you are living the life of a rich man. I can't even open the pot. Can't you give me a few more months of grace?"
"Kong Erluo, don't cry about your poverty in front of me. It is only natural to pay back debts!" Li Yunlong said, "Hurry up and return my one hundred military horses!"
Kong Jie saw Wei Dayong standing upright behind Li Yunlong, and quickly changed the subject: "Old Li, why did you bring Wei Dayong here? If you treat the main battalion commander as a guard, aren't you using a cannon to kill mosquitoes?
"
Li Yunlong turned his head and looked at Wei Dayong, and hummed proudly: "Wei Dayong was personally called by the brigade commander for the meeting. How can a battalion commander under your boy get such treatment?"
Ding Wei and Kong Jie were slightly shocked, it was actually the brigade commander who called them personally.
Wei Dayong also scanned around and found that all the people standing and sitting in the brigade headquarters were regiment-level cadres.
He was the only battalion commander standing among a group of big guys, and he immediately seemed a little different.
Captain Cheng Shifa also came over to say hello to Li Yunlong.
Although the 772nd Regiment suffered heavy losses in Lijiapo, its soldiers and equipment were quickly replenished. It killed a squadron of the 4th Brigade half a month ago and restored the strength of the main regiment.
Less than five minutes after all regiment-level cadres arrived, Brigadier Chen and Deputy Brigadier Han walked in.
Brigadier Chen always looks energetic, has sharp eyes, speaks sonorously and has a strong character.
The moment he appeared, all regiment-level cadres at the brigade headquarters fell silent.
"Before the meeting begins," Brigadier Chen said, "I want to announce something first."
Wei Dayong and all the regiment-level cadres held their breath and listened quietly.
Brigadier Chen glanced at everyone, and finally paused for a second on Wei Dayong, then took a piece of paper from Deputy Brigadier Han's hand and said.
"Comrade Zwei Dayong led a small team to destroy Japanese bacterial weapons during a latent combat operation in Hengshui, Hebei Province, and killed the Japanese 110th Division Lieutenant General Yamashita Fengwu, the commander of the Japanese 110th Division. He fought bravely and inflicted heavy damage on the enemy. He is commended for his military exploits and is hereby commended.
!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of the group leaders suddenly widened!
Kong Jie couldn't help but take a breath and said: "Dear me, it's only been half a month since the last time I hacked to death the commander of the major general's brigade, and now I've killed another Japanese lieutenant general's commander?"
"When did it happen?" Ding Wei also asked.
Several group leaders who had never seen Wei Dayong cast curious glances at him.
"Old Li, did you burn high incense in your last life or something?" Kong Jie said in a sour tone, "One reward a month."
"Ha ha!"
When Li Yunlong heard the news, he could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
"Wei Dayong, why don't you go over and get the commendation order?" Li Yunlong said to Wei Dayong behind him.
"yes!"
Wei Dayong agreed, walked towards Brigadier Chen, and received the commendation order from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters from Brigadier Chen.
Then he straightened his chest and abdomen, and gave a military salute to the two brigade commanders.
"Well done!"
A rare smile appeared on Brigadier Chen's face, and he looked quite satisfied. After all, Wei Dayong was considered his subordinate.
Wei Dayong was commended by the headquarters for his meritorious service. As a brigade commander, his face was also shining.
Deputy Brigadier Han was standing by with a pleased smile on his face and nodded towards Wei Dayong.
Later, Wei Dayong walked behind Li Yunlong with the commendation order.
Li Yunlong quickly took the commendation order from Wei Dayong, looked at it again and again, and felt happy.
If this was the leader of the independent group, Li Yunlong would probably have opened a bottle of sweet potato to celebrate on the spot.
Although he himself didn't care about punishment or meritorious service, when he saw Wei Dayong getting the award, his expression was even happier than when he got the award himself.
This is a real achievement!
Wei Dayong finally knew why the brigade commander called him to come to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. It turned out that he wanted to award him an award.
Now is a special period, and awards like this can be distributed as soon as the regiment headquarters holds a meeting.
It is awarded by the brigade commander personally, which is enough to prove that the brigade commander values himself.
Later, Brigadier Chen continued: "Everyone must know that the railway originally occupied by the Japanese army was within the attack range of our anti-Japanese base area, whether it was from points to lines or from lines to areas. Now the Japanese army is trying to use the strongholds
Railways and roads formed a network, entangling our soldiers and civilians."
"In order to delay the Japanese army's mopping up plan and break the Japanese army's cage strategy, the headquarters is preparing to conduct a large-scale attack on the Baijin Railway. The combat mission of our 386th Brigade is to attack more than 30 kilometers from Quandian to Duanliu.
The Baijin Railway Main Line, Guanshan Town on this section of the line is a tough nut to crack, who among you is willing to take on this main attack task?"
"No one can rob me!" Li Yunlong immediately expressed his stance, "We are reunited independently in Guanshan Town!"
The last time we fought against the Yamazaki Brigade, it was Zhao Gang who came to the brigade headquarters for a meeting. He didn't get the main attack, so Li Yunlong got angry and had a big quarrel with Zhao Gang.
This time I have to grab the main attack mission no matter what!
There's not much money to be had in scraping the railroad tracks. Meat can only be found in places where there are a lot of Japs.
"Hey... I mean, you Li Yunlong, why are you everywhere?" Commander Cheng Shifa said to Li Yunlong, "This kind of tough battle has to be fought by our main force, so why don't you stay where you can to cool off!"
Chapter completed!
