In 1941, the war between China and Japan entered a stalemate. The armies of China and Japan had been fighting on the battlefield for four years, and there had been dozens of battles of all sizes. For a time, neither side had the ability to defeat the other, and the battle lines were intertwined.
The situation in North China, which was behind enemy lines, was exceptionally grim. Although the Japanese army only occupied the towns along the railway and seemed to have the upper hand in strategy, the effective strength of the Chinese army was not destroyed. Only most of the areas in Hebei and Shanxi provinces were still under the control of the Chinese army. The Central Army of the National Party, Yan Xishan's Jinsui Army, and the Eighth Route Army each opened their own bases.
On the ground. This made Chairman Jiang, who was stationed in Chongqing, very pleased. He believed that his strategic concept of "exchanging space for time" had been verified to some extent. No matter how big the snake's mouth was, it could not swallow an elephant. Generalissimo Jiang quickly lost his optimism. In 1940, after the Battle of the Hundred Regiments of the Eighth Route Army in North China, Generalissimo Jiang suddenly discovered that the Eighth Route Army had grown to 400,000 in the past two years, and the regular army alone had mobilized 105 regiments. The chairman only remembered that the Eighth Route Army only had three divisions and six brigades under its jurisdiction. Motherf * cker, who gave them the power to expand? Once the chairman was unhappy, the problem became complicated. As a result, the internal friction of the Chinese army was everywhere. The old army and the new army of the Shanxi warlord Yan Xishan fought. The Eighth Route Army of the Shanxi-Kansu-Ningsia Border Region and the Ministry of the Kuomintang-Army Zhu Huaibing fought hard in the Taihang Mountains, which made the Japanese army laugh. In 1941, the friction within the Chinese army calmed down, and it was the Japanese army's turn to have a hard time. The North China region, which was the strategic rear of the Japanese army, seemed to be in chaos. The Eighth Route Army, which had long left the front line, no longer planned to organize one or two regular battles. Instead, it scattered and disappeared into the vast plains and continuous mountains. The Japanese army, which advocated the main battle, lost its opponent and was constantly surrounded by the opponent. The power of guerrilla warfare, which had always been looked down upon by the regular army, was gradually revealed. The Japanese army in North China could not withstand the consumption of the long-term war and began the "May 1" sweep.
Li Yunlong's independent regiment also split up into companies and acted separately. During this period of time, he was not very happy because there was no decent battle to fight. If they did not pull out a turret in the east, they would dig a few sections of the railway in the west. How was this like the main force? They were no different from guerillas.
Li Yunlong liked to drink. When it came to alcohol tolerance, even he himself didn't know how much he could drink. In any case, it was related to his mood. When he was in a bad mood, he would get drunk in two or three taels, but when he was in a good mood, he could still play with Ghost Head Blade after drinking half a kilogram.
Political Commissar Zhao Gang was originally a teetotal, but he couldn't resist Li Yun Long's pestering and was dragged into the water. Li Yunlong's words were too harsh-people who didn't drink were unreliable. Also, how should the intelligentsia be integrated with the masses of workers and peasants? Li Yunlong really couldn't think of anything else besides wine. Zhao Gang thought that it was better to drink with him instead of arguing with him. It was not a matter of principle. After a while, Zhao Gang actually managed to hold his liquor.
Li Yunlong still had the same old habit. When he was in a bad mood, he had to find someone to vent his anger on. The staff officers and handymen of the regimental headquarters all knew that he had this problem. They would stay far away when they saw something wrong. Only Zhao Gang didn't know what was good for him and kept showing up in front of Li Yunlong. Therefore, every time the regiment commander was the first to make things difficult, the political commissar's mouth was also not forgiving. After a while, they would quarrel. After a few words, they felt that the impact was not good, so the two of them kicked out the irrelevant people around them. Once the door was closed, they would start cursing and cursing each other. After scolding him, Li Yunlong took out his wine and persuaded Zhao Gang to drink with him. The two of them had been drinking for three rounds and had forgotten what they had just cursed. They were so drunk that they became emotional. Their faces were red and they called each other brothers with tears in their eyes. They put their arms around each other's shoulders and were as intimate as if they were born from a mother.
Zhao Gang said hatefully to Li Yunlong,""My mouth was originally quite clean, but ever since I became your partner, I've learned to be foul-mouthed and swear whenever I open my mouth. I feel embarrassed thinking about it. He didn't learn anything good, but he learned how to curse and drink.”
Li Yunlong said happily," That's right. Can you be a good soldier if you don't know how to scold people?" She was unhappy and had a fire in her heart. What should she do? In short, he said,"F * ck him…Let's vent our anger. What do you cultured people say?"”
"It's heart-wrenching," said Zhao Gang.
"Yes, that's what I mean. If you can't make up your mind about something and are in a dilemma for a long time, what should you do? One sentence: F * ck, let's do it. He made up his mind. Can you command the troops with your sour words? You order the 1st Battalion to take down the mountain and say," Battalion Commander One, please organize your troops to attack that mountain. If you can't take it down, I will punish you. Such soft words would affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. You have to say,'First Battalion, take down that mountain for me. Damn it, if you can't take it down, I'll chop you up.' Just listen to this, how much energy did he have? When the troops heard this, they immediately shouted. Brother, at least I've eaten two years more salt than you. Listen to me. If you want to command the troops, you have to learn how to curse.”
Recently, Zhao Gang was a little worried. In the past, when large troops were in action, there were commanders and brigadier leaders above, so Li Yunlong did not dare to go too far. Now, the 129th Division was divided into many parts. Hebei, Shanxi, and Shaanxi had troops everywhere. They all fought their own territories and were in an independent state. Li Yunlong had no one to control him. The sky was high and the emperor was far away. He could do whatever he wanted. No one would pee. Zhao Gang thought that this unruly guy would cause some big trouble sooner or later.
The second platoon leader of the First Company, Wei Dayong, was a veteran who had joined the army in 1938. He was from Dengfeng, Henan Province, and had been a monk in Shaolin Temple. He was skilled in martial arts. He was brave and fierce, and because he repeatedly fought outside the temple and violated the temple rules, he was kicked out of the mountain gate by the abbot monk. One of his brothers was a company commander in the National Army. He really had nowhere to go, so he planned to find his brother to join the army. At least he would have a future. In the end, they ran into Li Yunlong's Independent Regiment. The Eighth Route Army in 1938 was still wearing the Blue Sky and White Sun hat emblem. Wei Da Yong thought that this was the official 'national army' and stayed behind. In 1939, the Independent Regiment ambushed the Japanese Oda Squadron at Qingfeng Store in northern Hebei. Both sides fought with each other. Wei Dayong was surrounded by five Japanese soldiers. His comrades saw that he was in danger and desperately approached him. Wei Dayong's expression did not change.
"Don't help me! What's wrong with snatching credit from me?" he shouted.”His comrades witnessed a high-level assassination performance. The exchange of blows between experts was truly wonderful. There were almost no unnecessary movements, and the blades were sharp. One of the ghosts stabbed at his right rib. He did not dodge or block. His body was as steady as Mount Tai. When the bayonet was about to pierce into his right rib, his right rib actually shrank a bit. The bayonet grazed his flesh, and the ghost was pierced through by the bayonet. His next move was even more ruthless. He flew up and pulled out the bayonet. The pierced ghost flew ten feet away, and the head of the ghost behind him was smashed by his rifle butt. Pulling out the bayonet and crushing the opponent's head only took one action. Within two minutes, five Japanese soldiers who had undergone strict assassination training fell under his bayonet. After the battle, Wei Da Yong was promoted to platoon leader. He had just turned 18 years old that year. Monk Wei's name spread throughout the Independent Regiment.
After the troops split up, Li Yunlong said to the monk,"Don't be a platoon leader anymore. Be a guard for me.”
The monk, who had been demoted three levels in a row, did not have any objections at all. He said happily,"Yes, Guild Leader thinks highly of me and gave me face, so I have to take responsibility.”
These two audacious fellows coming together made Zhao Gang's heart skip a beat. He didn't know what trouble they would cause.
One day in October, there were two guests sitting in a private room on the second floor of Xianghe Teahouse on the central street of Heyuan County in the north of Shanxi Province. The tea-drinker with his back against the window and facing the stairs was elegantly using a bowl lid to stir the tea foam in his bowl. The other younger tea-drinker seemed to be looking at the street casually.
The Japanese military police who lined up on the street downstairs wouldn't have thought that the people sitting in the teahouse were the colonel of the 358th regiment of the Jinsui Army in the second battle area, Chu Yunfei, and his guard company commander, Captain Sun Ming. Colonel Chu Yunfei graduated from the fifth phase of the Huangpu Military Academy. He was one of the few Jin military officers under General Yan Xishan, the commander of the Second World War Area. He was highly regarded by General Yan. This person was courageous and had excellent marksmanship. He was a typical professional soldier.
Chu Yunfei's troops occupied a large area in the Heng Mountain area, adjacent to Li Yunlong's guerrilla zone. As time went by, Chu Li and Chu Li became famous in the northwestern part of Shanxi. Since ancient times, the common people of China had worshipped heroes and chivalrous men. Therefore, some folk oral literature described them as chivalrous men who could fly on roofs and walk on walls, and use guns to pierce Yang with a hundred steps. This caused the price of the Japanese bounty on the heads of these two men to rise to 50,000 yuan.
Chu Yunfei and Li Yunlong had dealt with each other before. During the Xinkou Battle, the two of them had fought together, but their relationship was not deep. Colonel Chu Yunfei and Chairman Jiang shared the same view. They had some prejudice against the Eighth Route Army. They believed that the Eighth Route Army did not obey the orders of the Military Committee of the National Government and left the front battlefield without authorization. They defended their strength in the name of guerrilla warfare. He had heard many legends about Li Yunlong, but he always felt that they were fabricated. A noob who had never entered a military school, even if he had been through hundreds of battles, he was still just a martial artist. He did not believe that Li Yunlong had any outstanding tactics.
A few days ago, Chu Yunfei sent a letter to Li Yunlong, saying that he wanted to meet and talk. The location of the date was extremely challenging. Heyuan County was only a few dozen kilometers away from Datong, a county heavily guarded by the Japanese army. Meeting in a teahouse on the central street was a great test of courage for both parties.
Li Yunlong brought the monk upstairs. The two of them were very well-dressed. They were wearing a long silk gown of the same color, a top hat on their heads, a thousand layers of cloth shoes on their feet, and snow-white socks. Their waists were bulging, and they did not hide it at all. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell at a glance that it was a 20-shot shell gun. Chu Yunfei thought to himself that this person was indeed courageous. He dared to dress up as a Japanese plainclothes team and brazenly barged into the Japanese's lair with a gun in his waist to meet the appointment. The more timid people would tremble just thinking about it.
"Brother Yun Long, how have you been?" Chu Yunfei cupped his fists.”
Li Yunlong cupped his fists and returned the greeting.”
"Let's drink tea instead of wine, Brother Yunlong."”
Li Yunlong smiled." Thank you for your kindness, Boss Chu. But I dare not obey your orders. This freshly brewed tea can burn your throat."”
Chu Yunfei's words had a hidden meaning." During the battle of Xinkou, I worked well with Brother Yunlong. However, for some reason, Brother Yunlong disappeared after the battle. I'm ignorant. Has Brother Yunlong been transferred out of the battle array in the second battle area?" With Brother Yun Long's courage, he wouldn't leave the battlefield without permission, right?”
Li Yunlong laughed." Boss Chu, don't make fun of your brother. As the saying goes, people deserve to die when compared to others, and goods should be thrown away when compared to goods. Boss Chu was the chairman's student and Officer Yan's student, so he had a lot of connections. A regiment of over 5000 people would be replenished as much as they lost. Some people said that the Central Army was raised by aunties, the Jinsui Army was raised by little mothers, and the Eighth Route Army was raised by stepmothers. Boss Chu was doted on by both his mother and aunt, but I couldn't compare to him. At first, his stepmother gave him food. Although the bullets and food were a little less, they were still there. Although his stepmother wasn't close, she was still considered a mother. Later on, even his stepmother didn't recognize him. He became a motherless child and could only go out to beg for food. Boss Chu had some face. He took the time to talk to his mother. Regardless of whether they were relatives or descendants, they were all his mother's children. He didn't crave for meat, but could he have some soup?”
Chu Yunfei was at a loss for words, thinking that this was the truth. The chairman was choking the Eighth Route Army in terms of supplies.
"Brother Yun Long, the country is in danger. You and I are both soldiers, and we should serve the country on the battlefield. I don't want to get involved in the factional struggle. I only want the independence and freedom of the nation. I can't interfere with the matters above, but if Brother Yun Long has any difficulties, just let me know.”Chu Yunfei said sincerely.
Li Yun Long did not laugh anymore. He cupped his fists and said,""Brother Chu, I appreciate your kindness. The Eighth Route Army can survive without the government's support. It's better to ask for yourself than to ask for the heavens and the earth. If I don't have bullets and food, I'll snatch them from the Japanese.”
Chu Yunfei gave him a thumbs up. Brother Yun Long, I heard that the chefs of the Immortals Gathering Restaurant are quite good. I have prepared some wine and water.”
Li Yun Long smiled and said," Brother Chu, you're borrowing flowers to present to Buddha. I heard that today is the birthday of the Japanese Military Police Captain Ichiro Hirata, so you booked the Immortals Gathering Restaurant. Could it be that you're not willing to pay for it?"”
"It's a waste not to eat Japanese food. Brother Yun Long's information is very accurate.”
"Same here, same here. It's better to obey than to be respectful. How can I not eat the meat that's right in front of my mouth?”Li Yunlong stood up.
Ichiro Hirata, the captain of the Japanese military police, was a more hospitable person. For today's birthday, he booked the "Juxian Restaurant" two days in advance. The famous celebrities in the city, Japanese military officers, and officers of the Imperial Association Army all received invitations.
There was a table at the entrance of the restaurant. Since the guests had come to celebrate the birthday, they would not come empty-handed. The table was filled with gifts. A steward wrote the name of the person who gave the gift on a piece of red paper with a brush.
Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming also bought some gifts and left their names according to the rules. The two of them quietly found a table near the corner and sat down. Some of the puppet army officers at the same table did not know each other. When they saw them sit down, they nodded as a greeting.
Li Yunlong wanted to buy some gifts to fool them, but he suddenly realized that he had no money except for a few "border tickets". He discussed with the monk and both of them said,'F * ck him. I'm giving him a f * cking face by eating his food. Why should I bring him a gift?'
The two of them entered the door. The manager came over to receive the gifts. He was a little unhappy when he saw that the two of them were empty-handed. He thought to himself, Why are these two people so shameless? Why are they freeloading? When he saw the two of them wearing long robes and top hats and carrying a box cannon at their waists, he thought that they were from the plainclothes team and prepared to complain to Hirata Ichiro later.
The table was filled with cold meat dishes that went with wine. The hot dishes had not been served yet. Ichiro Hirata stood up to exchange a few pleasantries. He didn't speak any Chinese at all, so he could only translate it into Chinese through the translator. The general meaning of the words was welcome, friendly words between China and Japan, and so on. Everyone craned their necks to listen, waiting for him to finish before eating. However, Ichiro Hirata quickly stopped talking. His eyes were fixed on the two people sitting at the table in the corner. Why were these two people already wolfing down their food? Moreover, it was extremely ugly. His mouth even made a smacking sound. She had no manners at all.
Li Yunlong usually liked to eat fried peanuts. He was using his chopsticks to pick up the peanuts and quickly put them into his mouth. Coincidentally, the monk also liked to eat this kind of thing and stretched out his chopsticks. Li Yunlong very selfishly moved the plate in front of him so that it would be more convenient to eat. The monk was a little unhappy when he saw that the peanuts were almost gone. He reached out and snatched the plate back, so he poured the peanuts into his mouth. Li Yunlong was a little slow, and all the peanuts went into the monk's stomach. Li Yunlong couldn't help but lecture him,""Look at how you eat. This is a banquet. Everyone is respectable. Aren't you afraid of losing face?”
The monk was not convinced and retorted,""Your food is not much better than mine.”As he spoke, he broke off the thigh of another roast chicken and started eating it.
Li Yunlong was afraid that the monk would eat the other thigh as well. He quickly stood up and broke off the other thigh, muttering,""F * ck! Why do you only care about yourself?"
The monk ate very fast. A chicken drumstick that was thrown into his mouth turned into a bone in the blink of an eye and was spat out. He chewed quickly in his mouth and walked to the neighboring table as if no one else was around. He reached out and pulled off two chicken thighs. Then, he picked up a plate of fried peanuts and turned around to leave. At this time, the room became quiet. All the Japanese and puppet officers were baffled. It was rare to see such a greedy and uneducated person. A young Japanese second lieutenant was a little angry. He glared at the monk and squeezed out a sentence from his teeth,"Baka!"
Although the monk did not understand Japanese, he knew that this was an insult. He was originally a child from the countryside and did not receive any polite education. He was brave and fierce since he was young. When he fought, he could only take advantage of it and not lose out. Usually, he would want to cause trouble even if there was no wind. Moreover, when someone scolded him, the monk opened his mouth and scolded,"F * ck you, who the f * ck are you scolding?”
None of the Japanese soldiers present understood Chinese, so they were completely unaware of the monk's rude scolding. The puppet army officers present were so shocked that they could not react for a moment.
Li Yunlong smiled evilly and said," Little Wei, it's not right to scold people. Look, it's so unpleasant. The moment he opens his mouth, he'll say 'f * ck your mothers'. It's wrong for him to scold people. He lacks discipline, so you can't learn from him."”
At this time, Chu Yunfei and Sun Ming, who were sitting in front of the table in the corner, couldn't help but laugh. The two of them laughed until they were swaying back and forth. In fact, the heads of their guns had already been opened.
Ichiro Hirata couldn't hold it in any longer. He walked to Li Yunlong's table and muttered to the translator for a while. The translator said,""Taijun asked which part you are from? What was his name? Who invited you here?"
Li Yunlong had already finished eating and was wiping his mouth with a corner of the tablecloth. He said nonchalantly,"Oh, you must be Ichiro Hirata? Where's your 50,000 yuan? I'm Li Yunlong from the Eighth Route Army, and the one sitting over there is Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Our heads should be worth 100,000 yuan, right?”
Chu Yunfei kicked the table over and pulled out his gun with Sun Ming. He shouted,""Chu Yunfei is here, nobody move. Ichiro Hirata, where is my fifty thousand yuan?”
Even though Ichiro Hirata did not understand Chinese, he knew that the person was not friendly. He moved his right hand and grabbed the handle of the pistol at his waist. His reaction was surprisingly fast. With a dull thud, the monk's palm struck Ichiro Hirata's chest. Ichiro Hirata was sent flying. The monk's " Iron Palm " instantly took Ichiro's life. His sternum and ribs were shattered, and blood spurted out of his mouth more than a foot high.
Li Yun Long smiled and said to Chu Yun Fei,""Brother Chu, do you want to take prisoners? Brother, I'll do you a favor. How about I let you take this room full of Japanese traitors and ask for credit?”
Chu Yunfei replied," Thank you, Brother Yunlong. I can't accept this favor. What use do I have for these turtles and bastards?"”Before he could finish his sentence, the shell gun in his hand rang out again and again. Li Yunlong and the monk, who were standing in the other corner of the room, also opened fire. The crossfire formed by the four shell guns swept down all the Japanese traitors like an iron broom.
The Japanese had suffered a huge loss this time. Almost all the officers of the Japanese and puppet troops guarding the county were killed in this attack. The army without officers was scattered sand. The puppet troops at the city gate heard gunshots in the city, but they did not know what had happened. Li Yun Long, Chu Yun Fei, and the other three easily defeated the puppet soldiers and left the city.
When they parted ways, Chu Yunfei took out an exquisite Browning pistol and gave it to Li Yunlong,""Brother Yun Long, let's keep this as a memento.”
Li Yun Long put away his gun and said," You and I are brothers. I hope we don't meet on the battlefield in the future."”
Chu Yunfei said,"Each for his own master. There's nothing we can do when the time comes. Take care…"
Li Yunlong brought the monk to the county town for an appointment. He didn't say goodbye to anyone before he left. The regiment commander had been missing for a day, and Zhao Gang was anxious and angry. He thought to himself that it was really unlucky to be partnered with this hotheaded regiment commander. There was not a day that he was not on tenterhooks.
Li Yunlong didn't come back until it was dark. He was in a good mood today. Not only did he eat and drink to his heart's content, but he also had a good fight. He used the shell gun to " roll call " the Japanese and traitors. There was nothing more satisfying than this in the world. As soon as he entered the door, he realized that Zhao Gang was ignoring him with a black face. He knew that it was Zhao Gang's turn to make things difficult this time, so he held back his energy and wanted to quarrel with him. He didn't really care. This dog was too obsessed with reading books and liked to be stubborn. When he was in a good mood, he would not stoop to the level of a scholar. Li Yunlong tried to strike up a conversation."Old Zhao, why aren't you asleep yet?"
Zhao Gang said with a stern face," Nonsense. It's so early and you're already sleeping. Besides, the regiment commander is missing. Do I dare to sleep?"”
"Eh?" Li Yunlong said. Didn't the monk tell you? "Damn it, this kid is getting more and more out of hand. Before I came out, I asked the monk to greet you. This kid must have forgotten. Later, I will criticize him severely. How dare he forget what I told him? He doesn't take our political commissar seriously…"
Zhao Gang interrupted him rudely."Enough chit-chat. Where have you been?”
Li Yunlong smiled and said," I've been staying in this damn place for so long that my bones have gone soft. I went out to stretch my bones. I wandered to the county town without paying attention." We country bumpkins have never entered the city before. Once we enter, we can't tell north, south, east, and west. We don't have a watch, so we don't know the time. You can't blame me for this. If you want to criticize someone, you can only criticize you. Who asked you to be so stingy and not lend me your watch to wear?”Li Yunlong made a counter-accusation. He had long been thinking about Zhao Gang's " Roman " watch. He had asked to borrow it a few times, but Zhao Gang said," Go, go. I'll give it to you when you're looking for a partner." Li Yunlong had been brooding over this.
Zhao Gang was so angry that he was amused." You're such a scoundrel. I haven't even said anything to you, and you're already making a countercharge." Forget it, I won't talk about you anymore. As the saying goes, saying it three times is as calm as water. I've said the same thing more than three times, and I feel like I'm too weak. I'll say it one last time, Comrade Regiment Commander, you should always be with your troops, and not act alone. This is called being disorganized and undisciplined…"
Li Yunlong took out the roast chicken that was missing two legs. When he was shooting, he didn't forget to put the roast chicken in his pocket. At this moment, he hurriedly used the roast chicken to block Zhao Gang's mouth."Don't say anymore, I can already memorize what I'm going to say. Brother, look how much I miss you. I even left half of the roast chicken for you.”
Zhao Gang's anger had not subsided. He pulled her away with his hand."Don't give me that. You want to use this to shut my mouth? I still have to say it…"
Li Yunlong was a little annoyed." I know. In the future, when I go out, I'll f * cking run a few hundred miles to the division headquarters to ask for leave from the division commander. Is that okay?" F * ck! I'm not going to give it to you if you don't want to eat it.”He turned around and left.
"Stop, put down the roast chicken. I've been on tenterhooks for the whole day. You should give me some mental compensation.”Zhao Gang also cursed roughly.
Li Yunlong turned around with a smile.""That's right. Come, come, let's have a few drinks.”He turned his head and shouted out of the room," Monk, take out the wine you're holding. I saw you stealing two bottles of Fen wine. Take it out!" Why did he want to eat all of it? You Flowery Monk."
A few days later, a spy reported: Li Yunlong, the commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, and Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Guomindang Army, joined forces to wreak havoc in the county town. The Japanese garrison squadron, gendarmerie team, the Imperial Association Army brigade, plainclothes team, and other officers above the captain were all killed. No one was spared. Tada Jun, the commander of Japan's North China region, was deeply shocked. At the same time, he announced the new reward price. Li Yunlong's head was worth 100,000 yuan, Chu Yunfei's head was worth 100,000 yuan, and the informant was worth 50,000 yuan. Zhao Gang was also stunned.
