Chapter 11 Why don’t you know how to be funny?
The person who issued the order was Li Yunlong, who was currently affiliated with the Red Third Army and led a reinforced battalion to support the headquarters of the Red Army...
Li Yunlong was a man of many clever ideas in warfare, and he rarely did anything that lost money. However, the entire southwest gathered over 300,000 main forces of the White Army, broke out from the Guizhou Army, and encountered the Central Army there...
They fought and advanced all the way, and three-quarters of a battalion of more than 500 soldiers were killed.
But, but, we killed more than a thousand enemies...
In the chaotic war zone, no one noticed this powerful detachment, which accidentally reached the border between Guizhou and Guangxi.
Li Yunlong is very anxious now. The troops have lost more than 70% of their strength, and the remaining ones are all injured. Every sacrifice of a soldier is like a stab in his heart.
The most serious problem is the lack of ammunition. According to statistics, each person has less than two bullets on average. The worse news is that the troops have been out of food for three days. The soldiers are persisting entirely based on their belief.
This is not a large area, and without a mass base, it is almost impossible to raise grain locally. Li Yunlong has already set his sights on the landlords here.
Li Yunlong had just begun to murder when something went wrong! This morning, before dawn, a single gunshot saved everyone. The shooter was Heiwa, the lurking sentry...
Li Yunlong was very familiar with this kid. He was the youngest in the regiment and joined the team even though he was not even as tall as the gun.
Heiwa was fighting against a fully equipped company of Guizhou Army, and while fighting he was leading the enemy in other directions.
Li Yunlong was brave, not stupid. Fighting head-on at this moment was meaningless. Heiwa's sacrifice could not be wasted. With a desperate gritted teeth, he ordered the troops to move...
Unexpectedly, after walking around in the mountains for a long time, I saw Heiwa again.
Thinking of this kid Heiwa, Li Yunlong felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He was glad that he was not dead.
But the person next to Heiwa was obviously a wealthy landlord.
Isn't this as obvious as lice on a monk's head?
Heiwa must have been deceived. Bai Gouzi is putting a reward on the heads of the Red Army soldiers everywhere. The rich landlord has bad intentions and is trying to coax Heiwa into collecting the reward!
As Li Yunlong gave the order, the 'entire company' began to move...
The soldier who went to investigate was a little hesitant, the images lingering in his mind, and finally he chased after them for a few steps.
"Captain, that man doesn't look like a white dog, he looks a bit like one of ours!"
Li Yunlong glared at him and said, "When did you learn to read faces? Stop nagging me!"
The soldier was speechless. At this time, someone came over and saw Li Yunlong's serious face, and said with a smile.
"Captain! Shunzi has been doing reconnaissance for many years and has a very sharp eye. Should we find out first? What if that guy is really one of our underground comrades?"
"Oh! Xing Zhiguo, I didn't realize that when the hell did you become the political commissar? Do I have to call you Political Commissar Xing from now on?"
Xing Zhiguo's face tightened!
"Eh? Captain, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for me? If you keep doing this, I'll be furious!"
Li Yunlong was the newly promoted regimental commander, and the political commissar had not yet taken office. In the reinforced battalion, the only one who could talk to Li Yunlong was his old subordinate Xing Zhiguo.
"Hehehe! Why don't you know how to be funny?"
Li Yunlong had a hot temper, but he still listened to Xing Zhiguo's advice to some extent. When he learned that Heiwa was still alive, his mood immediately improved a lot, and he started to joke.
"Captain, let's hear what Shunzi has to say!"
"Come on, come on, Shunzi, listen to Political Commissar Xing!"
"Captain!"
"Haha! You're such a bore! Everyone, stop moving forward and be on guard! Shunzi, what did you see? Tell us now! Look, Deputy Battalion Commander Xing is getting impatient!"
Xing Zhiguo: “…”
In fact, in Li Yunlong's mind, he really hoped that Xing Zhiguo could be his political commissar, so that this guy would not hold him back at the critical moment.
Li Yunlong glared at the soldiers for a while and then smiled playfully. Although the regiment commander usually scolded them, he treated the soldiers like his own brothers. The soldier named Shunzi was used to it and spoke immediately.
"Captain, I followed that carriage all the way. The landlord's son was lying on the carriage, and Heiwa was even eating with his head resting on his belly!"
"Ah?" Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo looked at each other in surprise.
Everyone is familiar with Heiwa, the child soldier. He has no one left at home, as he was killed by the landlord. This kid is famous for his stubborn temper, and he shouldn't be so close to the landlord!
When the surrounding soldiers heard the news about Heiwa, they crouched over and gathered around with their ears pricked up.
"Anything else?" Xing Zhiguo asked.
"And, by the way! Heiwa has changed into new clothes and looks like a groom!"
What? Everyone looked at each other in disbelief.
In the old society, clothes were hard currency. You could take an old jacket to a pawnshop and get a big penny no matter how torn it was.
Ordinary people wear clothes that are new for three years, old for three years, and patched up for another three years. But they are reluctant to throw away these clothes and have to continue wearing them.
This landlord was actually willing to give Heiwa new clothes. If the material was better, the reward would be higher than the bounty of the White Army!
Li Yunlong habitually reached for his cigarette, but after a long while he remembered that it was already finished. He felt a little disappointed, but suddenly, a cigarette appeared in front of him...
"Haha! Xing Zhiguo, you sly bastard! I knew you were hiding some contraband! Do you have any more? Take it all out!"
Li Yunlong put his hands up and down, pretending to touch him, but Xing Zhiguo quickly waved his hands away.
"No more! No more! This is what you gave me last time, Captain. I couldn't bear to take it!"
Li Yunlong lit it skillfully, took a deep puff, and then handed the cigarette to Xing Zhiguo...
Xing Zhiguo took a small puff and passed the cigarette back...
"Shunzi, what else did you find?" Li Yunlong asked, his eyes fixed on the cigarette.
Li Yunlong is a man who cares about his reputation, but he has one advantage: he will never deny his mistakes just to save face. When he realizes that he seems to have made a mistake, he patiently asks carefully. Hey! Old Li is not a stubborn person.
"Uh?" Shunzi frowned and tried hard to recall.
"Oh right! Commander, I remember now. Heiwa is wearing a telescope on his chest. It's even bigger than the one the commander has!"
What? Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo almost jumped up.
Realizing his loss of composure, Li Yunlong's face became a little hot, but his dark yellow complexion did not show any redness.
"Shunzi, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
"No! It's just a telescope!"
The soldiers may not know, but Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo know very well that telescopes are controlled items. China does not have the ability to produce them and has to import them all. Among the entire Red Third Army, only the commander has one, and he treats it like a family heirloom.
Such a precious telescope, bigger than the commander's, is hanging around Heiwa's neck?
Xing Zhiguo couldn't figure it out and fell into deep thought.
Li Yunlong's eyes were shining and he rubbed his chin. Our Old Li is usually very nice to Heiwa.
If we ask him to borrow the telescope, he should agree, right?
Hiss...If I borrow it and don't return it, won't this kid cry?
No, no, that's not how Old Li behaves. If others find out, they'll laugh at me for bullying the weak! No, no, I have to outsmart him!
......
"Hey! Zhuzi, you idiot, you spendthrift bastard, why don't you leave me a bite..."
The cigarette butt with a faint flame finally returned to Li Yunlong's hand.
"Captain, throw it away! The cigarette butt is burnt!" Xing Zhiguo advised.
"You know shit! Even though it's just a little, I can still take three big sips!"
"..."
