Boss Peng's face darkened as he continued Liu Bocheng's words." I said? I said they should be shot! Li Yunlong dared to split his forces 120 kilometers away from the flank of the guard headquarters? As the political commissar, Zhao Gang still dared to deliberately not report? What do you two want? Rebellion? If this crime of disobeying orders is reported to Yan 'an, it's enough to shoot the two of you three times! I'm not joking! Are you two still in the party? Do you know who you should listen to in military operations? The military power in your hands comes from the party, not from your personal will! Do you understand?"
Boss Peng's eyes widened. That was a real killer!
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were like kids who had done something wrong. They lowered their heads and didn't say anything. The other people in the headquarters didn't dare to say anything either. The scene was very tense.
"Commander Peng, why are you so angry so early in the morning? Can I plead for them?”
Wang Jingguo, the second in command of the Jinsui Army, was sitting next to Liu Bocheng. He had been listening to Li Yunlong's report on the observation group and Zhao Gang's report on the special forces.
Before he came in, he had already confirmed from Chu Yunfei that Li Yunlong's battle results outside the Tiger Pavilion were true.
The Shanxi Iron Army under Wang Jingguo was a force that could fight head-on with the Japanese army in the Jinsui Army. They were not good-for-nothings. After hearing this, he thought, How could the supervisor be shot to death for such a meritorious service that the whole country was celebrating?
Although Wang Jingguo was a guest of the Eighth Route Army, he had to say a few words because it was the period of cooperation between the two countries.
"Now that more than half of Shanxi has fallen into the hands of the Japanese, and our Second World War Area has won such a great victory, if we don't put up lanterns and streamers to commend it, it will be difficult to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people to join the army and kill the enemy.”
Wang Jingguo's words eased the tense atmosphere a little.
Boss Peng's gaze at Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang didn't change, but he agreed with Wang Jingguo's words in his heart.
The military was a secondary task for politics. If political work could take the initiative, then military victory would be meaningful. If politics fell into a passive state, then military victory would be meaningless.
Wang Jingguo had come to represent the Suijun Army. Apart from the military level, there was also a political level of discussion.
The local emperor of Shanxi, Yan Xishan, handed over the villages and towns in the northwest of Shanxi to the Gong Dang and allowed the Gong Dang to carry out social reforms on the border of Shanxi. It was called "jointly forming a coalition government in the border area".
In fact, he wanted to limit the scope of the activities of the Gong Dang. He only allowed the local tyrants to divide the land in the poor northwest region of Shanxi. In other places, the local emperor still did not allow the Gong Dang to meddle.
In this military exchange, the ammunition replenishment was empty, the real thing was to drive the commoner army to the border region.
Boss Peng's expression did not change. He said indifferently,"What Commander Wang said makes sense. We have to think from multiple perspectives to be three-dimensional. I'm the military supervisor. Although the independent regiment has split up their forces on their own this time, the casualties are not small, but they've also been beaten beautifully. There's no escaping the collective meritorious service. It's just a matter of rank. As for Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, they made political mistakes. I'll kick the ball too. Member Deng, how should I explain this to Yan 'an? Give me your opinion."
On the staff meeting table next to him, Deng Xiaoping, the political commissar of the 129th Division, who was taking notes, slowly raised her head when she heard Boss Peng's words.
He looked at Wang Jingguo, then at Zhao Gang, and had an idea.
Deng Xiaoping put away his pen, stood up, and said,"The ball mentioned me? Li Yunlong is an old revolutionary who loves to make mistakes and can fight. Zhao Gang is a new comrade who lacks work experience. The two of them will be warned by the party. Due to the serious casualties in the battle, the independent regiment can no longer continue to be the main force of the 386th Brigade. Therefore, it will be transferred to the Border Region Government Guard Regiment and wait for new recruits to be replenished. At the same time, the regimental officers will regularly go to the Political Training Department to learn and be supervised by the Political Department. President Peng, I have finished speaking.”
Commander Liu Bocheng was very satisfied with this suggestion." Mr. Deng's suggestion is very good. I agree. Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, protect the newly established border government. You two won't be half-hearted anymore, right?”
Zhao Gang stood up straight." Reporting to the Bureau Chief, we definitely won't!”
Li Yunlong's face scrunched up." Boss, I…"
Liu Bocheng slammed the table." You still dare to be picky? Shoot him to death or go to the border area, choose one!”
"Border region, border region, chief, don't be so angry.”
Wang Jingguo let out a long breath. He had no interest in saving Li Yunlong, but after the military exploits were reported, he would definitely find various newspapers and reporters.
If they found out that the officers who had made military achievements were punished or even shot, the Second World War Zone would lose face. The students would cause trouble again.
"This result will be of great benefit to the Second World War Zone, our Border Region Government's propaganda, and the reform of society. On behalf of Officer Yan, I thank everyone. I'll hurry back and report the results of the exchange to Officer Yan. I believe he'll be very happy. Commander Chu, let's go.”
After Wang Jingguo took Chu Yunfei away, Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong were reprimanded. They were also asked to hand over a portion of the spoils of war, especially Li Yunlong's assistant official knife, which was taken away by Liu Bocheng.
After being skinned by the old general, the two of them finally returned to Zhao Jiayu's regiment headquarters.
Li Yun Long asked the monk to call Zhou Lin over, saying that he had something important to discuss with him.
After the battle ended, Zhou Lin helped to treat his injured comrades and buried the bodies of the thirteen rats. After resting for a few minutes, he heard the monk call him to the regiment headquarters.
When he entered the room of the regiment headquarters, he saw Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang already drinking. They immediately served the drinking party.
Li Yunlong felt aggrieved that he would not be able to take up the role of the main force.
After drinking a few bowls of white wine, he thought to himself, Why can't I fight the main force's regiment commander when I win the battle? You can beat the Japanese just by being obedient? There was really no law.
The alcohol rushed to his brain. Li Yunlong was furious. He felt that the sacrifice of his brothers from the 1st Battalion was not worth it.
In the battle in the early morning, the 1st Battalion sent 310 people and 163 returned.
More than 150 people from the Japanese army's observation group also died. 1。
Li Yunlong had already used the best infantry tactics that the Eighth Route Army could use to the extreme, but the 1st Battalion still sacrificed more than 100 people and was scolded by the boss. His heart was in turmoil.
"Old Zhao, why do you think the Japanese are so desperate when they fight? Hmm? It was clearly those bastards who invaded us, yet they were all so generous and willing to sacrifice themselves. They were surrounded by us and were fighting like trapped beasts. Why do you think this is so? Why can't I understand?"
Zhou Lin fell into deep thought when he heard Li Yun Long's question.
If there were no special forces to protect Yamamoto Ichiki today, he would already be dead.
Zhao Gang usually didn't drink, but after lying to the Bureau Chief and getting scolded, he needed to release some of his emotions, so he drank a little with Li Yunlong.
Hearing Li Yunlong's question, the top students of Yanjing University started to talk.
"Sigh, there is a lot of knowledge here about a country's initiative. How should I put it? During the Meiji period, Japan had completed the constitution of the monarch. This system allowed the emperor's power to gain the recognition of the Japanese people. While the constitution restricted the monarch, it also guaranteed the emperor's status. This allowed the monarch to reduce meaningless ostentation and deterrence and focus on national affairs.”
"For example, Cixi in the late Qing Dynasty used the money she spent on military supplies to celebrate her birthday. Why was she so stupid? Hmm? Because she had to use this method to announce to the world to maintain her rule. If she did not buy military equipment, she would die tomorrow. If she did not celebrate her birthday well, the Qing Dynasty would end on the same day. This unstable relationship of interest meant that no matter whether Cixi celebrated her birthday or not, the Qing Dynasty would not be able to defeat Japan, which had a constitutionalized monarch.”
