Chapter 166 Li Yunlong Promoted to Brigade Commander
After leaving Lijiazhuang, Li Yunlong rushed back to the independent regiment with his guards.
He was very excited at this moment.
He didn't expect that after the independent regiment joined the independent column, he would suddenly become a brigade commander from a regiment commander.
He couldn't help laughing at the thought.
The guard Hu Zi next to him saw the commander so happy and asked.
"Captain, what makes you so happy?"
Li Yunlong said happily: "Hahaha, Huzi, you can no longer call me captain from now on."
"Ah, Captain, what's going on? Have you been robbed again?"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, Huzi, what are you talking about?"
"How could I, your regiment commander, be dismissed? Now I am the brigade commander of the independent brigade of the independent column. Please call me brigade commander from now on." Li Yunlong said proudly.
Hu Zi looked at Li Yunlong in shock.
Damn, the team leader has become very rich.
He suddenly became a brigade commander from a regiment commander, no wonder he was so excited.
Then wouldn’t I be the brigade commander’s guard in the future? Hahaha, it makes me happy just thinking about it.
"Congratulations to the regiment commander for being promoted to brigade commander."
"Huzi, now that I've been promoted to brigade commander, you will be the commander of my guard company from now on."
Hu Zi said excitedly: "Thank you, Brigade Commander."
"Okay, let's go, let's get back to the Independence Regiment."
"Hello, hello..."
..................
Three hours later, it gradually darkened.
Li Yunlong and his group finally returned to the independent regiment’s base.
"Huzi, notify Zhang Dabiao and the others to come to the headquarters immediately."
"Yes, Brigadier."
Hu Zi turned around and trotted to inform Zhang Dabiao and others.
Li Yunlong sat in the command center and waited for about 10 minutes.
Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan and others came to the command center.
"Captain, you're back. How's the situation?" Zhang Dabiao asked.
Li Yunlong stood up and adjusted his military uniform.
"Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, I have some great news to announce now."
"From today on, the independent regiment will officially become an independent brigade. Your regiment commander, Li Yunlong, is now the brigade commander."
The scene fell silent instantly.
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan were both shocked by the news.
It’s incredible that the regiment commander actually became the brigade commander.
Li Yunlong saw that the two did not react at all.
"What's wrong with you two? Why don't you react at all?"
Zhang Dabiao came back to his senses and shouted excitedly.
"Congratulations, Commander, on your promotion to Brigade Commander."
Zhang Dabiao said with a smile: "Hahaha, Commander, now that you have become the brigade commander, should I, the battalion commander, also be promoted to the higher level?"
After hearing what Zhang Dabiao said, Shen Quan, who was standing by, looked at Li Yunlong with anticipation.
Li Yunlong said as he looked at the two capable men in front of him.
"Of course I will. I, your regiment commander, have already become a brigade commander. You have followed me through thick and thin, so I must raise your rank."
"Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, listen to my orders."
The two men stood up straight immediately.
"Zhang Dabiao, from now on you will be officially promoted to the commander of the first regiment of the independent brigade, and Shen Quan will be the commander of the second regiment. As for the candidate for the third commander, you two can recommend one person to me."
"Thank you, Brigade Commander." The two responded loudly.
"Okay, now the appointments for both of you have been completed."
"Next, regarding the list of officers at all levels of the independent brigade, you must recommend a group of commanders and fighters to me as soon as possible. I will report the list of these people to the commander."
"Yes, Brigadier General, we will submit the list tomorrow."
Late at night.
After Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan returned to the barracks, everyone in the independent regiment was in an excitement.
When the soldiers heard that the independent regiment had become an independent brigade, they were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
In the future they will be soldiers of the independent brigade, and their corresponding treatment and weapons and equipment will be improved.
Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan stayed in the room and began to count the merits of the officers at the company and platoon levels overnight.
Next, the promotion of officers in the independent brigade will be based on merit.
............
The next morning.
Li Yunlong had just gotten up from bed, washed up, and was ready to eat.
The phone at headquarters rang.
Li Yunlong picked up the phone and the brigade commander's voice came from the receiver.
"Li Yunlong, congratulations."
"I heard that you have been promoted to brigade commander in the independent column."
"But I'm really envious. You have to treat me to a meal when I get a promotion."
Li Yunlong took the microphone and said, "Of course, Commander, I will treat you to a feast. You can order whatever you want."
"Hahaha, then I remember that. I must eat this feast of yours."
"All right, Brigadier General."
After the call, Li Yunlong took a bowl of porridge and a steamed bun and sat in the command department to eat.
Well, this steamed cornbread tastes especially good today.
It is true that people feel refreshed when good things happen. I never thought that one day I, Li, would be able to become a brigade commander.
If Li Yunlong had not been messing around and disobeying orders on the battlefield, he would probably have been an officer at the division level by now.
Li Yunlong was the commander of the main force regiment during the Red Army period. Over the years, most of the Red Army regiment commanders of the same period as him have now become division commanders or brigade commanders.
Zhang Dabiao walked into the command center with the list.
"Commander, last night I tallied up the merits of the company and platoon officers in the first battalion."
After Li Yunlong finished the porridge in the bowl, he wiped his mouth and reached out to take the list handed to him by Zhang Dabiao.
The list only contained the names and achievements of officers at the company and platoon levels.
"Not bad, Zhang Dabiao, you figured out all the statistics in one night."
Li Yunlong said as he looked at the list.
"I will promote the people on this list based on their contributions."
"By the way, Zhang Dabiao, our independent brigade now has 8000 people. You have to work hard to recruit people.
I'll leave this matter to you. I'll give you one week to recruit enough people for training."
Zhang Dabiao widened his eyes.
"Brigade Commander, our independent regiment only has more than 2000 people now, and we need to recruit 6000 more. We don't have so many weapons and equipment, and we can't support so many people even if we recruit them."
Li Yunlong explained: "Don't worry about the weapons. The commander has already solved all of them for us. All the weapons of the independent regiment are now left to the 386th Brigade. We will equip them with new weapons and equipment..."
When Zhang Dabiao heard that the weapons and equipment had been arranged, he had nothing to worry about.
Now there are a lot of people who want to join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese.
He was confident that he could recruit 6000 people within a week, and even 10000 people would not be a problem.
"Yes, Brigade Commander. I will ensure that the mission is completed." Zhang Dabiao promised.
