I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 268: The New 1st Regiment Has Deputy Headmaster Xing

Political Commissar Mo also said that he would represent the leaders of central and northern Shaanxi to serve as the witness for the two of them.

This was such a great happy event that Song Wenwan was happy for both of them for a long time.

The Gregorian New Year had just passed and it was already January of 1940.

Since supplies are more sufficient this year, the soldiers of the New 1st Regiment all wore thick cotton-padded clothes.

Whether standing guard or training, they always appear to be full of energy and spirit.

Only inside the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment, the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.

The regiment commander Li Yunlong sat cross-legged on the kang. On the table were a plate of peanuts, a plate of braised beef in soy sauce, and a bottle of Fenjiu.

The most bizarre thing is that there are ten bottle caps in front of Li Yunlong.

Li Yunlong drank three bottle caps of wine in one breath, then grabbed a piece of braised beef and put it in his mouth to chew.

Zhang Dabiao, who was sitting on the other side of the table, reminded Li Yunlong worriedly.

"Captain, we agreed that you can drink ten bottle caps of wine a day.

You've already drunk five bottle caps, what are you going to eat if you keep drinking?"

Li Yunlong slammed the table and said, "Zhang Dabiao, how can you be like the deputy head of the regiment and still want to meddle in my affairs?

Besides, you are becoming less and less perceptive. Why don’t you help me fill the bottle cap while the deputy leader is away?”

Zhang Dabiao laughed, picked up the bottle, and wanted to fill the bottle in front of Li Yunlong.

Unexpectedly, when the door curtain was lifted, an officer of the Eighth Route Army walked into the regiment headquarters.

"Chief of Staff Zhang, are you stupid? You poured more wine for the regiment commander. What are we going to drink later?"

The person who just walked in was the new deputy commander of the New 1st Regiment, Xing Zhiguo.

At the end of last year, Xing Zhiguo and his brother were finally transferred back to the Eighth Route Army.

His elder brother, Xing Zhiwei, went back to northern Shaanxi with the commander-in-chief to report on his work.

He was assigned to the New 1st Regiment and became Li Yunlong's deputy.

The reason why the headquarters asked him to come to the New 1st Regiment was because he and Li Yunlong had dealt with each other when they were in Hubei, Henan and Anhui.

Li Yunlong cherishes the old friendship, so he is not particularly resistant to Xing Weiguo coming to the troupe.

Ever since Wu Changfeng was transferred away, Li Yunlong felt that he could no longer take advantage of the benefits he had enjoyed before, and he was very depressed.

But the brigade commander told him that the headquarters finally had someone capable and could assign him a political commissar.

This good news was like a bolt from the blue to Li Yunlong, and it stunned him.

He hasn't been assigned a political commissar for more than a year since the previous political commissar was transferred.

He is used to having his words enforced, so how could he agree to be restrained by a political commissar?

When Xing Zhiguo first came, he also couldn't stand Li Yunlong drinking.

But he would not resist, he and Li Yunlong made three rules.

Let Li Yunlong drink no more than ten bottle caps of wine a day, otherwise don't expect him to keep the secret.

In fact, as long as there was no combat mission, Xing Zhiguo would turn a blind eye to Li Yunlong.

In the Gansu Army, he led the troops to fight for two years, which made him accustomed to flexibility and mastering various policies.

The reason why Li Yunlong agreed with Xing Zhiguo's approach was that Xing was flexible and not a rigid person.

Another reason is that Xing Zhiguo was also able to get good things from the Gannan Guerrilla Division.

For example, the Fenjiu they drank today was brought back for him by Xing Weiguo through someone he asked.

Seeing himself being caught cheating on the spot, Li Yunlong was not at all nervous.

"Hahahaha, it's Old Xing, you're back, come and sit down.

Look, it’s all Da Biao’s fault. He was afraid that I wouldn’t drink enough, so he insisted on pouring me some wine.”

As the person who took the scapegoat for Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao was not angry.

He just smiled, took out a bottle cap and filled it up for Xing Zhiguo.

Xing Zhiguo snorted coldly and did not answer. Instead, he took two new bowls and poured half a bowl of wine into each.

He pushed one bowl of wine to Zhang Dabiao, picked up the other bowl himself and clinked glasses with Zhang Dabiao.

Zhang Dabiao was overjoyed and felt that Deputy Captain Xing was really kind enough to think of him when something good happened.

Zhang Dabiao drank half a bowl of wine with his head tilted back, then grabbed a piece of braised beef and started chewing.

Li Yunlong saw Zhang Dabiao drinking his wine and immediately became angry.

"Just drink if he tells you to. Can't you leave some for me?"

Zhang Dabiao smiled and said, "Captain, I am just a chief of staff. I have to obey the orders of the deputy commander."

Xing Weiguo didn't continue talking to them, but talked about today's arrangements.

"Captain, today's dumplings are ready. As usual, we'll send them to our fellow villagers' homes first.

When I came back from the kitchen just now, the soldiers' dumplings were already out of the pot.

Today everyone will have a bowl of mutton offal soup, all you can eat.”

Li Yunlong: "Then why don't you come back with Jiaozi?"

Xing Zhiguo glanced at Li Yunlong's wine bottle and said, "I came back when the dumplings were half cooked. If I had come a little later, someone might have cheated successfully."

"Hahahaha, Lao Xing, I find that you and I are getting more and more compatible.

Why don't you just quit your job as deputy regiment commander? I'll make an application to my superiors and you can be my political commissar."

Xing Zhiguo and Zhang Dabiao looked at each other and admired him very much.

Li Yunlong is really good. He can even come up with such an idea.

However, Deputy Commander Xing does not want to be the political commissar for Li Yunlong.

This guy who does thankless work is really making people suffer.

Zhang Dabiao hesitated for a moment and told Li Yunlong a new situation.

"Captain, I went to the hospital at the headquarters a few days ago and saw an acquaintance of mine there.

He also heard from others that in our new regiment, you are the one who has the final say.

If only Old Xing comes, I'm afraid he won't be able to change the current situation of our group.

They said that the higher-ups are going to send you a more powerful political commissar to help you calm down.

Li Yunlong suddenly felt that the dumplings in front of him were not fragrant anymore, so he pushed the plate away and stopped eating.

When Zhang Dabiao saw that Li Yunlong didn't want to eat anymore, he didn't say anything to him and directly shared his dumplings with Hu Zi.

It is different from Zhang Dabiao's indifference and Li Yunlong's resentment.

Xing Zhiguo studied in the Gansu Army for many years, but he doesn't have the kind of courage that the other two have.

What does it mean to be content? What is the purpose? Is it ambition?

If this was said by the boss or the division commander, it must be a sign of concern for Li Yunlong.

But if this was said by someone else, then it is possible that someone was giving Li Yunlong a bad medicine.

Xing Zhiguo didn't say anything else, but after the meal, he asked Hu Zi to put away the wine.

He had already heard the news that the political commissar was coming and was going to tell him about it today.

It’s just that Zhang Dabiao didn’t know about the news and various rumors he heard.

Xing Zhiguo could only pass the matter to Commander Song in Gannan and ask him to find someone to investigate it.

The next morning, the brigade commander called the independent regiment.

"Li Yunlong, the head of the headquarters misses you very much and is always thinking about you.

They heard that you didn’t have a political commissar yet, so they specially transferred a capable person from the Anti-Japanese University in northern Shaanxi to be your political commissar.”

I heard that he is still a college student at Yenching University in Peking.

In his early years, he led students and carried out activities to resist reactionary forces.

Being the political commissar is a great bargain for you. You should remember the good things of the bosses. "

Li Yunlong was in the headquarters of the New 1st Regiment, listening to a phone call from the brigade commander with a worried look on his face.
