Chapter 84 Old Kong, you're here too?
"Um."
After returning the salute, Zhao Gang smiled and said, "I heard from comrades that our troops' bayonet fighting techniques have changed. You taught them. You're really amazing. You were able to figure out a unique bayonet fighting technique on your own. This is a valuable asset to our Eighth Route Army."
Wang Yousheng smiled faintly and said, "Political Commissar Zhao can't just sit around doing nothing either; your marksmanship is not bad either."
"Um?"
Zhao Gang was visibly taken aback, then laughed and said, "Not at all, I've only learned a little bit."
"fur?"
Wang Yousheng wouldn't dare say that. Yesterday, when they were fighting the Japanese company, Zhao Gang's marksmanship was superb; he eliminated eight Japanese soldiers with ten bullets.
Li Yunlong, that hothead, had no idea and thought the man was just a pretty scholar.
Wang Yousheng changed the subject: "Political Commissar Zhao, is there something you need from seeing me so early?"
Zhao Gang nodded slightly: "That's right. I heard you developed an inside agent named Zhou Huaiqi. I've looked into it, and he's very supportive of our anti-Japanese work. He sent 15,000 catties of grain early this morning."
"Oh?"
Wang Yousheng raised an eyebrow slightly. He had been training the whole time and hadn't noticed the aftershocks of the battle.
At that moment, he was busy checking historical information about the aftermath of the battle.
Sure enough, Zhou Huaiqi brought 15,000 jin of grain, and he was escorted there by soldiers from the First Battalion.
Wang Yousheng laughed and said, "That's right. Zhou Huaiqi was originally the head of the maintenance committee in Wanjia Town. I plan to plant him among the Japanese soldiers to provide us with intelligence on them."
"Okay." Zhao Gang said with satisfaction, "Then you'll be in charge of the Zhou Huaiqi line."
"no problem."
"Oh, right, he was just looking for you."
"Where."
"Village entrance".
After tidying up, Wang Yousheng and Zhao Gang hurriedly arrived at the village entrance.
He could see Zhou Huaiqi chatting with the soldiers with a smile from afar, and his demeanor was clearly different from when he first came.
A quick scan with the Eye of Analysis revealed that the intimacy level had reached sixty points.
It seems this old fellow has genuinely decided to join the Eighth Route Army.
Wang Yousheng then walked over.
Upon seeing Wang Yousheng, Zhou Huaiqi followed the soldiers' example and saluted, then said with a grin, "Commander Wang, I've come to join the Eighth Route Army."
Commander Wang?
Wang Yousheng dared not accept such an honor; the Eighth Route Army didn't follow such rules, and besides, he was just a platoon leader.
Wang Yousheng waved his hand dismissively and said with a sneer, "Village Chief Zhou can just call me Platoon Leader Wang. We Eighth Route Army officers and civilians are equal, and there is no such thing as 'commander'."
"Ahem, yes, Platoon Leader Wang."
Wang Yousheng glanced at the dozen or so oxcarts at the village entrance, and sure enough, they were all carrying grain to save people from their suffering!
This week, Huaiqi is truly determined to join the Eighth Route Army.
He remembered that Zhou Huaiqi's family had nearly 20,000 jin of stored grain, and he took out 15,000 jin at once, which was a great contribution to the Eighth Route Army!
Zhao Gang also laughed and said, "Village Chief Zhou, thank you so much for your generous donation of grain. With so much grain, the soldiers won't have to fight on an empty stomach. From now on, you are one of our comrades."
Zhou Huaiqi nodded repeatedly. Yes, he had seen the strength of this Eighth Route Army. They had routed the Japanese and defeated his old rival.
With Ma Bao's death, he could reorganize the grain business. Although the Eighth Route Army initially made things difficult for him, they still did him a great favor.
"Village Chief Zhou, from now on you will work hard in the Japanese puppet regime. If there are any problems with the Japanese, be sure to let us know immediately."
Wang Yousheng gave the order.
Zhou Huaiqi nodded and replied, "Okay, definitely."
Wang Yousheng was very satisfied!
Actually, Wang Yousheng wasn't afraid that he would disobey. Now that the intimacy level was high enough, he would directly bind him as a second-level teammate. If he still had the tendency to defect, the intimacy level would definitely decrease.
Lowering the threshold would mean unbinding the remote sensing system, and he didn't want that to happen.
"Katsuko!"
Just then, the commander's shouts came from behind.
He turned around and saw Li Yunlong staring at him with a long face.
"Up so early?"
Wang Yousheng was somewhat surprised. He knew that Li Yunlong had been drinking last night. With so much alcohol, he should have gotten up late, right? He didn't expect that Li Yunlong would get up at the same time as the soldiers.
In fact, Li Yunlong had been a soldier for so many years that he was very sensitive to the bugle calls of the troops. As soon as there was any noise, he would subconsciously wake up.
This skill can only be acquired through years of honing one's skills in the military.
After giving Zhou Huaiqi a few instructions, Wang Yousheng asked Zhao Gang to have a good talk with him about the work of "espionage," since he had no experience in underground work.
Then, he hurriedly went to Li Yunlong's side.
"Commander!"
Wang Yousheng stood at attention.
Li Yunlong's expression was somewhat indifferent, as if he was not quite satisfied.
Wang Yousheng was a little confused.
In the past, when Commander Li saw him, it was like seeing a precious gem. What's wrong with him today?
Li Yunlong said, "What were you doing just now? How did you end up arguing with our political commissar?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yousheng seemed to understand that Li Yunlong was probably unhappy that he and Zhao Gang had gotten together.
It seems Li Yunlong is really going to have to outwit and outmaneuver Zhao Gang.
Wang Yousheng then explained what had just happened.
Li Yunlong then nodded.
"Come on, come with me to the solitary confinement cell."
"Solitary confinement?"
Wang Yousheng didn't ask any more questions and nodded.
The two walked one after the other and soon arrived at a house.
This used to be the village chief's cattle farm. There were two mud houses in the farm. Although they were dilapidated, they were not drafty.
After the Eighth Route Army stationed there, the village chief generously offered it up as a solitary confinement cell for the Eighth Route Army.
The so-called solitary confinement room was, of course, for punishing officers and soldiers who broke discipline.
From cadres to soldiers, anyone who commits a fundamental offense will at least be locked up for a few days and forced to write a self-criticism!
Last night, Wei Dayong and others were locked up here by the soldiers. Li Yunlong suddenly came to the solitary confinement room, probably to deal with Wei Dayong and others.
As soon as Wang Yousheng entered the courtyard, he heard Kong Jie's voice.
At this moment, Kong Jie stood outside the solitary confinement cell, his eyes fixed on the inside, and said loudly, "You all better behave yourselves. In a few days, we'll send you back to the Central Army."
No one responded from the solitary confinement cell, so Kong Jie shouted a few more times before finally leaving.
"Old Kong, what's going on? You're here too?"
Li Yunlong glanced at Kong Jie and said calmly.
Seeing this, Kong Jie didn't say anything, but just sat down at the stone table in the courtyard and smoked.
Anyone could tell that Kong Jie had something on his mind.
Li Yunlong was a shrewd man. He walked to the door of the solitary confinement cell, glanced at the people inside, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Wei Dayong.
Li Yunlong thought to himself: Damn it, this monk is a real talent. It seems that Lao Kong didn't manage to recruit him.
As a commander, one must not only know how to lead troops, but also how to discover talent. Last night, Zhang Dabiao told me about Wei Dayong. Wei Dayong fought an entire squad of soldiers by himself; he was extremely brave!
We must find a way to keep such a skilled soldier in the Independent Regiment.
