"Nice to meet you, Mister Bai Xian.”
"Hello, hello. It's an honor to meet you, General Chen."
In the battle conference room of the new regiment, there were only Bai Xian, Li Yunlong, and General Chen. Bai Xian and General Chen shook hands with friendly smiles on their faces, but their eyes were sizing each other up.
General Chen had heard about this Mister Bai Xian from the Deputy Chief of Staff not long ago.
As for Bai Xian's background, the Eighth Route Army still had not figured it out. It was as if this person had jumped out of the sky. He asked several comrades from Nanyang, but no one had heard of any big Chinese family in Nanyang with a young master named Bai Xian. In fact, there was no big Chinese family with the surname Bai in Nanyang. Therefore, many intelligence personnel of the Eighth Route Army guessed that the name Bai Xian might be a fake name.
Of course, it didn't matter whether he used a fake name or not. From the two transactions between Bai Xian and Li Yunlong, it could be seen that Mr. Bai Xian's path was very wild. Moreover, the other party was really sincere in helping the anti-Japanese war. He even often followed the new regiment to participate in the anti-Japanese war. Therefore, after the Eighth Route Army investigated, they gave up on continuing to investigate Bai Xian's background.
Anyway, in this era of national peril, as long as you resisted the Japanese, you would be a good friend of the Eighth Route Army. As for your background, who cares?
"I've long heard of General Chen. I'm really lucky to see you today ~"
General Chen was sizing up Bai Xian, and Bai Xian was also sizing up General Chen.
Bai Xian, who was a border guard in his previous life, naturally admired this legendary founding general. He looked at him with respect, which made General Chen feel a little embarrassed.
"Where, where? Mr. Bai Xian actively supported the war and provided military equipment to our army. It should be my honor to be acquainted with a friend like you.”
"Hehe, General Chen is too polite. Not to mention anything else, the year before last, when the Japanese army surrounded the nine roads of southeast Shanxi, General Chen fought against the enemy and won three battles. At a time when the country is in danger, to have a general like you is the fortune of the country and the nation.”
"Alright, Brigadier General, Brother Bai Xian, don't flatter each other.”
Seeing Bai Xian and the brigade commander flattering each other and treating him as air, Li Yunlong couldn't help but roll his eyes and say angrily.
Bai Xian and General Chen were not angry about this. General Chen smiled at Li Yunlong and said,"
"Li Yunlong, congratulations on your promotion.”
"Upgrade? Brigade Commander, what is the meaning of this?"
"It means that from today onwards, you, Li Yunlong, are the deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade.”
"Ah?"
Li Yunlong was shocked by her words.
"Me? Deputy brigade commander? No, no, no. Brigadier, how am I fit to be a deputy brigade commander? No, no, absolutely not. Brigade Commander, you should take back the promotion order.”
"Nonsense! Li Yunlong, this is an order from the head of the headquarters! Who are you to express your opinion? You can be the deputy brigade commander or not!”
General Chen was a little confused by Li Yunlong's intense resistance, so he spoke in a more serious tone. Unexpectedly, Li Yunlong, who had always been respectful and afraid of him, was also unusually determined at this time.
"Aiyo, brigade commander, this is all I can do. I can be a battalion commander or a regiment commander, but being a deputy brigade commander is too much of an honor. Besides, isn't Deputy Brigade Commander Xu still around? If I become the deputy brigade commander, what will happen to him?”
"You don't have to worry about this. The headquarters decided to let Old Xu go to the South Hebei Military Region first to completely eliminate the defected General Shi You's three troops. After that, they will let Old Xu go to Lu Province to develop the anti-Japanese base. As for you, Li Yunlong, you've made a lot of contributions during this period of time, so the headquarters has decided to let you take over Old Xu's position.”
(PS: Guess who this Old Xu is? This general is very famous.)
"But…"
He was about to be promoted, but Li Yunlong looked conflicted. In the end, he couldn't help but say what he was thinking.
"Brigadier General, let me be frank. I want to lead the army, not work in the brigade. Now, my new regiment has just defeated the Sakata Alliance, and their morale is high. With Brother Bai Xian's support and sufficient weapons and ammunition, I still want to continue doing great things and fight the Japanese properly ~"
“……”
After hearing Li Yunlong's words, General Chen's expression turned strange. In the end, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Hehehe ~ Li Yunlong, oh Li Yunlong, you son of a b * tch. I was wondering why you were so stubborn. After all this time, you thought that the headquarters wanted to transfer you to my brigade.”
"What? Isn't that so?"
"Of course not."
Looking at Li Yunlong's dumbfounded expression, General Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. After a while, he restrained the smile on his face and pretended to be serious.
"Comrade Li Yunlong."
"Yes!"
"After careful consideration, the headquarters has decided to appoint you as the deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade and the commander of the independent regiment.”
"Yes! Ah?"
After hearing the headquarters 'orders, Li Yunlong subconsciously saluted. Then, he reacted with his mouth wide open.
"Brigade Commander, did you remember wrongly? It's the new regiment, not the independent regiment, right?"
"You're the one who remembered wrongly. Am I that impatient?!”
General Chen snorted in dissatisfaction and said,"
"The Independent Regiment encountered a small group of troops in Yang Village a few days ago. Because of this, the head of the headquarters has already removed Kong Jie from his position as the regiment commander of the Independent Regiment. He wants you to go to the Independent Regiment and lead it.”
“艹~! What was going on? It was Dumbo Kong who made a fool of himself, so why should I clean up his mess?!”
"Shut up!"
General Chen glared at Li Yunlong, who was fuming, and the latter immediately became obedient.
"Stop mocking me! Yes, that pig Kong Jie has embarrassed himself, but the Independent Regiment is still part of our 386th Brigade. We can't look down on the Independent Regiment just because we lost a battle!”
Speaking of the Independent Regiment, General Chen's mood immediately became terrible. After all, no matter how embarrassing the independent regiment was, it was still his 386th regiment. If his subordinates were to lose face, he would also lose face as a brigade commander.
"No…"
"What, my words don't work anymore, do they?”
"No... I wanted to..."
"What are you thinking about? You are now the deputy brigade commander of the 386th Brigade, so you have to act like one! The head of the headquarters asked you to lead the independent regiment because he trusted your ability to develop the army! If the independent regiment still can't take on the responsibility in your hands, I'll hold you responsible!”
General Chen pointed at Li Yunlong's nose for a while before he stopped to catch his breath. Li Yunlong wiped the saliva on his face and saluted with a serious face. He then replied,"
"Yes, sir! I'll report to the Independent Regiment immediately!"
"Yes, that's more like a deputy brigade commander.”
Seeing Li Yunlong's attitude, General Chen nodded in satisfaction, and his tone softened.
"I'll give you three days to hand over your work to Ding Wei, who has taken over your position as the regiment commander. After that, report to the Independent Regiment immediately. Remember, the Independent Regiment is not in a good state right now. Once you take office, you have to solve the morale problem of the troops immediately. You can't let the Independent Regiment collapse just like that. Do you understand?”
"Yes, sir!"
Li Yunlong saluted again.
Then, in the next second, he changed his face and smiled at General Chen.
"However, brigade commander, I'm willing to accept the mission assigned to me by the headquarters, but... Brigadier General, can you agree to a few of my conditions?”
