Chapter 16: Dismiss Zhao Gang
With the addition of new soldiers, the formation of the new regiment quickly recovered, and the number of troops was even greater than before.
But large numbers and strong combat effectiveness are two different concepts.
Soldiers who have never seen blood are just new recruits after all.
As for the new recruits, Li Yunlong didn't have that much time to train them. After selecting twenty of them with better skills, Li Yunlong threw the rest to Zhang Dabiao and asked him to be responsible for the training.
The twenty selected recruits were all personally trained by Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong intends to train these twenty recruits into a force capable of performing special combat missions, also known as a special force.
Li Yunlong had this idea as early as when he first traveled through time.
It's just that the equipment of the new group at that time was too backward, and they were in the middle of a battle, so the idea was shelved.
But things are different now. The emergence of new weapons can completely make up for the equipment problems. All that remains is to train these new soldiers.
Before time travel, Li Yunlong himself was a military fan, so this was not a problem for him at all.
On this day, Li Yunlong was training this special force on the back hillside as usual.
"Captain, commander!"
At this moment, Huzi ran up to Li Yunlong panting: "Captain, so you are here. I have been looking for you for a long time."
"You continue to train!" Li Yunlong ordered and then turned to look at Hu Zi and said angrily: "I'm so panicked. Is the sky falling or are the Japanese coming? What does it look like!"
Huzi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Captain, the headquarters has sent someone over! They are in your yard now."
"Headquarters sent someone? Is the boss down with a combat mission?" Li Yunlong asked quickly.
Huzi shook his head: "I don't know the specifics, but he looks like a civilian cadre!"
Li Yunlong was stunned: "Civilian cadres? Could it be that they sent a political commissar?"
Thinking of this, the image of Zhao Gang immediately popped into Li Yunlong's mind.
In the original TV show, the headquarters sent Zhao Gang to be Li Yunlong's political commissar. The two did not get along well at the beginning, and Zhao Gang was particularly disliked.
But later, the two became lifelong friends.
Huzi still shook his head: "I don't know the details. He said he wanted to see you as soon as he came over, so I didn't ask any more questions."
"Why don't you know how to ask?" Li Yunlong kicked Hu Zi's butt angrily, and then walked towards the yard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, a figure appeared in front of Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong saw the person coming and immediately recognized him. Sure enough, it was Zhao Gang.
Li Yunlong immediately smiled. Having watched TV, he knew that Zhao Gang was actually a talent and could help him a lot later.
Not only can it unify the thinking of the troops, but also improve everyone's faith and combat effectiveness.
And this guy's marksmanship is even better.
He can kill Japanese machine gunners with one shot from 800 meters away. He has the potential of a sniper.
When Zhao Gang came, he was not disgusted, but was very happy. This was a good helper that he could only ask for.
"Comrade, this is the leader of our new regiment, Captain Li Yunlong." Huzi stepped forward and introduced.
Zhao Gang immediately stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Hello, Captain Li, my name is Zhao Gang. The headquarters sent me here to serve as the new regiment's chief executive. We will be partners from now on. Please give me your advice."
Li Yunlong glanced at Zhao Gang, but did not shake hands with him immediately because he had to let Zhao Gang know who was the boss here.
I came here to be my assistant, not really to let him share his power.
"Political Commissar Zhao, I didn't ask my superiors to send a political commissar. Who asked you to come?" Li Yunlong put his hands behind his back, looking like an uncle.
Zhao Gang could tell at a glance that Li Yunlong was deliberately making things difficult for him. He had heard about Li Yunlong's temper before he came here.
Zhao Gang was mentally prepared, so he smiled slightly: "It seems that Commander Li is still a little hostile to my arrival, but after getting along for a while, Commander Li's impression of me will definitely change."
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Comrade Zhao Gang, what you said is wrong. I, Li Yunlong, have never been hostile to my comrades. I just wonder why the headquarters sent you here."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "The boss told me when I came here that your new regiment was restoring the force structure, so he asked me to come over and assist you in the work of Commander Li."
Li Yunlong nodded: "Since you're here, let's work hard here. However, I have something to say up front!"
Zhao Gang nodded: "You tell me!"
Li Yunlong raised his head and said: "I, Li Yunlong, are fighting in the war, and I don't like others nagging in my ears. So as long as it is related to the war, I hope that Political Commissar Zhao will not interfere too much. We can each do our own thing, and do not interfere with the river."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Gang quickly said: "Captain Li, what you said is wrong. I, Zhao Gang, are here to work. Our new regiment is a combat unit, and fighting is part of the job. Naturally, I have to take care of it."
Li Yunlong stared at him: "Political Commissar Zhao, I, Li Yunlong, have a stupid mouth. With all due respect, how many battles have you fought in? Do you know how to hold a machine gun? I'm afraid you haven't even left school when I, Li Yunlong, fought in Hubei, Henan, and Anhui!"
"You want to interfere with me leading the troops to fight as soon as you come here. Isn't it not good?"
Zhao Gang also reacted at this time and turned to look at Li Yunlong: "Captain Li is trying to give me a blow. Although I, Zhao Gang, am only a scholar, I have seen a lot of military strategies and I am determined to serve the country at this moment."
Li Yunlong waved his hand: "Comrade Zhao Gang, you have to know that what is taught in the book is completely different from reality. You must know about the battle in Cangyunling. If you follow what the book says, I, Li Yunlong, should break out and escape at that time, but
If we really do this, can my new regiment still be able to completely annihilate the Sakata Alliance?"
Zhao Gang was a little unconvinced and said: "Captain Li, I have heard about the battle in Cangyunling, but I think that the victory in that battle was just luck. It is just an example and cannot be generalized."
Hu Zi on the side frowned when he heard Zhao Gang's words, feeling a little unhappy in his heart.
They exchanged the lives of countless brothers for the battle in Cangyun Ridge, but Zhao Gang just downplayed it and said that they were just lucky, which he couldn't accept.
"Political commissar!" Huzi said with red eyes: "We have sacrificed hundreds of brothers in Cangyun Ridge, and they will never come back. This victory was won by our regiment leader, but we who
My brother’s death was not in vain!”
Hearing what Huzi said, Zhao Gang's heart was tugged hard.
"I'm sorry, I, I didn't mean that!" Zhao Gang said comfortingly.
Li Yunlong coughed: "So, Old Zhao, you don't understand our new group. From now on, you must cooperate with me. Do whatever I ask you to do. I can lead you to win the battle!"
With that said, he went over to take a picture of Zhao Gang with a smile.
