Chapter 208: Old Li really didn’t hide anything good
Gaoda, who was on the other end of the phone, smiled and said after hearing what the chief said: "Chief, I have been too busy these past two days and forgot to tell you the good news. I was just about to call you when you called."
The chief laughed on the phone and said, "Hahaha, Commander Gao, your independent column is now talked about a lot in the headquarters. Comrades now give a thumbs up when they hear the name of the independent column."
After hearing what the leader said, Gundam was overjoyed.
He knew very well that this honor was hard-won and was earned with the blood and lives of all the soldiers.
"Commander, the achievements of the Independent Column are all the result of the heroic fighting of our comrades." Gaoda responded modestly, not taking all the credit for himself.
The leader told Gundam, "Gundam, the Japanese will make the independent column their top target. You must prepare early. Protect the people's property and lives in the base area."
The leader's words became serious. He knew very well that the victory of the independent column would inevitably lead to crazy revenge from the Japanese army.
After hearing what the chief said, Gundam on the other end of the phone informed him of his plan to establish a village team in the base.
He described in detail the size and personnel composition of the village team and its importance in dealing with the Japanese raids.
"Gundam, your idea is very good. I think it is feasible. The headquarters will fully support you." The leader agreed.
"Thank you, Commander. Don't worry. The Independent Column will definitely protect the people in the base. If the Japanese want to raid the Independent Column base, I will let them see how powerful the Independent Column is."
"Okay, since you are already prepared, then you can make your own arrangements."
After the call, Gundam sat in the command center and pondered for a moment.
His mind was quickly sorting out the next work arrangements, from the details of forming the village team to how to deal with various situations that might arise.
Then he picked up the phone on the table and started contacting the Independence Brigade.
He knew that every link and every deployment must be accurate, so that the defense system of the independent column base could be built indestructible before the Japanese raid arrived.
At this time, Li Yunlong was lying on the kang in the command center, leisurely eating melon seeds.
The victory in the Yangquan Campaign gave him a rare moment of relaxation. Since then, he dispersed the independent brigade and allowed each unit to attack freely. This flexible tactical arrangement was also his usual combat style.
Suddenly, the phone in the room rang, breaking the cozy atmosphere in the room.
Li Yunlong sat up from the kang swiftly, clapped his hands quickly, and reached out to pick up the phone.
"Hello, this is the Independent Brigade."
"Li Yunlong, this is Gundam." Gundam's voice came from the other end of the phone. Li Yunlong was immediately startled and sat up straight. The commander calling in person must have something important.
"It's you, Commander. Commander, if you have any important instructions, the Independent Brigade will ensure that they do a great job."
"Haha, Li Yunlong, come to Lijiazhuang right now. I have something to tell you in person."
"Yes, Commander. I'll be there right away." Li Yunlong agreed without hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yunlong got off the kang, quickly put on his shoes, and then shouted to the guard outside the door: "Huzi, prepare the horses immediately. Let's go to Lijiazhuang."
"Yes, Brigadier."
Hu Zi immediately trotted off to arrange the horses.
On the other side, after Gaoda hung up the phone, he immediately picked up the phone again and started to contact Kong Jie of the Ping'an Brigade and Ding Wei of the New 1st Brigade to come to Lijiazhuang.
.........
Around 2pm.
Li Yunlong and his guards rode on horseback to Lijiazhuang in a hurry.
As soon as I arrived at the village entrance, I saw Ding Wei, Kong Jie and his group.
Li Yunlong shouted enthusiastically from a distance: "Lao Ding, Lao Kong, you two came really quickly."
As he spoke, he jumped off his horse with very neat movements.
Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong in front of him, and said with a smile on his face: "Brigade Commander Li, your independent brigade really made a big splash this time, and actually captured Yangquan.
I am really impressed by you. Tell me, how many good things did you get in Yangquan this time?"
There was a gleam of curiosity in Ding Wei's eyes, and he really wanted to know what Li Yunlong had gained this time.
Li Yunlong shook his head proudly and said, "Well, it's just a small Yangquan, not worth mentioning. This time, I, Li, really didn't hide any good stuff. All the seized materials were taken to the headquarters warehouse."
His expression was nonchalant, as if this was a matter of course.
After hearing what Li Yunlong said, Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at him in surprise.
They knew Li Yunlong's character very well. This guy would not do anything without benefits and would never suffer any loss.
It is incredible that such a huge amount of seized materials were sent to the headquarters this time.
The two men wondered secretly, could it be that this old guy Li Yunlong got something better from the commander?
Kong Jie couldn't help but whispered, "Lao Li, did you get something good from the commander? Tell us about it."
Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he said, "My two brothers, I really didn't get anything good this time. If you don't believe me, go ask the commander."
His attitude was very firm, and he spread his hands to show that he really had nothing to hide.
After hearing what Li Yunlong said, the two immediately rolled their eyes.
They knew in their hearts that it was useless to ask the commander.
This old guy Li Yunlong is so unkind. He must be hiding something good.
In their impression, Li Yunlong would not give up the benefits so easily. There must be some reason that they don't know.
When Li Yunlong saw the expressions of the two people, he was speechless and wondered in his heart why these two people didn't believe him.
He really didn't get anything good from the commander, and he really didn't care about the weapons and equipment in the hands of the Japanese. The weapons and equipment in the hands of the independent brigade were much better than those of the Japanese.
"My two friends, stop guessing. I really didn't get anything good. Let's go see the commander quickly and don't waste time." Li Yunlong said as he quickened his pace and walked towards the command center.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Not a moment later.
The three of them walked into the headquarters yard together.
At this time, Gundam was lying under a big tree in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
The afternoon sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of light. Gundam closed his eyes, enjoying this moment of tranquility.
Li Yunlong shouted: "Commander, we are here."
His voice echoed in the yard.
Gundam opened his squinting eyes, saw a few people, sat up and said, "You are here, go find a stool and sit over here."
The three of them walked into the yard, found a stool, and sat in front of Gundam.
The three of them had serious expressions and their eyes were full of anticipation. They didn't know what important decision the commander was going to announce.
Gaoda looked at the three and said, "Three brigade commanders, you have all worked hard during this period. The performance of each unit is very good. I am very pleased.
Your efforts and heroic fighting have won honor for the independent column and also made the Japanese dare not underestimate us. Today, I am notifying you all that there is an important decision to be announced. "
