I am helping

Chapter 34 Ding Wei, the dog-headed military advisor!

The next day, the soldiers of the new regiment finished their breakfast.

After a night's rest, the soldiers of the first battalion regained their energy.

This time, the first battalion made a surprise attack on Wanjia Town, marching 110 kilometers back and forth all day and night, and fought a battle in the middle.

Ordinary troops couldn't bear it at all, but the soldiers of the first battalion not only did it, but they were alive and well the next day.

The training slogans were shouted loudly in the Gu field, and the soldiers were neat and orderly, with firm and energetic eyes.

The new regiment.

Wang Xikui stood in front of Li Yunlong with his backpack on his back and a rifle in his hand.

Wang Xikui's body is a little thin, and he looks anxious. He is 31 years old and he is in his prime. He looks like he is in his forties.

He looks very ordinary, placed among the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, he looks nothing special.

But Li Yunlong knew that this kid looked inconspicuous, but he was a veritable king of soldiers.

"Xizi, we meet again." Li Yunlong looked Wang Xikui up and down, and said with a smile.

"Leader, I haven't seen you for many years. How have you been all these years?" Wang Xikui couldn't help but have reddened eyes.

When the Red Army crossed the grass, Li Yunlong was afraid that the soldiers would starve to death, so he rushed to grab food and was demoted from regimental commander to cook.

Because of the food, none of the soldiers in Li Yunlong's regiment starved to death, and the soldiers always remembered Li Yunlong's kindness.

Later, when the Anti-Japanese War broke out and the Fourth Red Army was reorganized, Li Yunlong was promoted to the head of the regiment.

If Li Yunlong hadn't made a mistake that time, nothing would have happened to Cheng Shi as the head of the main force of the 386nd Regiment of the 772th Brigade.

"Why are you crying?" Li Yunlong said, "Do you think I'm not doing well?"

"I am happy to see the head of the regiment." Wang Xikui wept with joy.

Li Yunlong nodded: "I bought you from Commander Kong with 3 machine guns and 3000 rounds of machine gun ammunition. You guys have to do a good job for me!"

"Yes, commander, I promise to do a good job!" Wang Xikui was a little flattered, he didn't even know that he was worth 3 machine guns and 3000 rounds of ammunition.

Li Yunlong said: "Show me your gun?"

"Yes!" Wang Xikui handed the Hanyang made rifle to Li Yunlong with both hands.

Li Yunlong took it and opened the magazine to take a look: "Why are you still using this gun? The rifling has been worn out. I'll replace it with a sniper rifle for you some other day."

"Leader? What is a sniper rifle?" Wang Xikui looked surprised.

Li Yunlong said: "It is a rifle with a scope, which can see farther, see more clearly, and shoot more accurately and farther."

Seeing that Wang Xikui still had a bewildered expression, Li Yunlong said again: "Okay, you go to the first assault company first."

Wang Xikui straightened his body: "Yes!"

Li Yunlong shouted: "Tiger!"

Huang Erhu ran in and snapped a military salute: "Here!"

Li Yunlong: "You take Xizi to the assault company and report to Company Commander Xu."

Wang Xikui paid a military salute to Li Yunlong, and then walked out with Huang Erhu.

After Wang Xikui left, Li Yunlong planned to move the regiment headquarters to Yangcun today.

Now there are 300 military horses, each of which can carry 500 catties, and the accumulated property can be transported there at once.

Military horses are treasures. In addition to forming cavalry, they can also be used as a means of transportation in spare time, which is convenient and fast.

As early as the Red Army period, Li Yunlong dreamed of having a cavalry unit of his own.

Li Yunlong was going to wait for Huzi to come back, so he asked Huzi to send orders to the battalions to pack up.

But before Huzi returned to the regiment headquarters, a familiar voice sounded in Li Yunlong's ear: "Old Li! Old Li!"

Li Yunlong heard the sound and went to the door, only to see Ding Wei, who was carrying a marching bag, stepping in from the gate of the regiment headquarters courtyard.

"Haha, old Ding, why is it you?" Li Yunlong was surprised at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Otherwise, who do you think it is?" Ding Wei said.

The two walked up to each other, first gave each other a military salute, and then hugged each other tightly.

"Old Li, long time no see!" Ding Wei patted Li Yunlong on the shoulder.

"I haven't seen you for several years." Li Yunlong said, "I really didn't expect to see you, Lao Ding, here."

Li Yunlong invited Ding Wei into the regiment headquarters, and asked in surprise: "Old Ding, aren't you in the Jizhong Military Region? Why did you come here?"

"Don't mention it soon." Ding Wei took off his backpack and sat cross-legged on the kang, "I planned to go to YA to study this time, but halfway I received an order from the head of the headquarters to serve as the new second regiment of the 386 brigade Chief, isn’t this just about to take office, I just heard that you are nearby, so I came to see you, and I will kill you boy by the way.”

"Good thing!" Li Yunlong laughed, "This time the brothers in our class can get together again!"

"But it's really time for your boy to come."

"Yesterday, the first battalion just killed two army horses. I haven't finished eating the horse meat. I'll let the cooking team cook two hard dishes. Our old comrades-in-arms have a good drink."

"Then I won't be polite!" Ding Wei was slightly happy when he heard that, but he hasn't eaten meat for a while.

After Huzi returned to the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong asked Huzi to inform the cooking team to cook two hard dishes for Ding Wei.

Then Ding Wei asked: "Old Li, when I passed by the valley field in the village, I saw no less than [-] military horses. Could it be that you have set up a cavalry battalion?"

Li Yunlong said: "These 300 army horses were brought back from the cavalry battalion of the puppet army yesterday by the first battalion, and they have not been warmed up yet. I want to make a cavalry battalion. Aren't they afraid of being robbed by the brigade commander?"

Ding Wei asked: "The brigade commander often robs you?"

"Isn't it?" Li Yunlong said, "Last time I managed to get a batch of heavy firepower, and I was almost robbed by the brigade commander."

Ding Wei's expression changed: "Old Li, I have a way to prevent your army and horses from being robbed by the brigade commander!"

Li Yunlong hurriedly asked: "Old Ding, what can I do?"

Ding Wei looked at the telephone on the table and analyzed: "Look, the brigade commander hasn't called you yet, which means the brigade commander doesn't know about it yet."

"Because the brigade commander doesn't know yet, you have to deal with these army horses quickly."

"It will be too late if the brigade commander knows about it before dealing with it."

Li Yunlong asked again: "How to deal with it?"

Ding Wei said, "Old Li, think about it."

"The brigade commander robbed horses and equipment, and most of them used them to form cavalry companies for the two main regiments of the 771st and 772nd regiments."

"Instead of this, you might as well take out 200 military horses and give me and Lao Kong 100 military horses each."

"My new Second Regiment and Lao Kong's Independent Regiment each form a cavalry company, which also strengthens the strength of our Eighth Route Army, doesn't it?"

"Of course, Lao Kong and I don't want to take your military horse for nothing. We can exchange weapons and equipment with you."

"In this way, the brigade commander won't be able to rob you, and you will earn a batch of weapons and equipment for nothing."

"Isn't it the best of both worlds?"

"Haha. Just do it!" Li Yunlong's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "I said, Lao Ding, you are really a fucking dog-headed military advisor!"

The corner of Ding Wei's mouth curled up slightly, noncommittal.
