Holding the original shares, they fought all the way to the Korean War!

Zhou Tianyang looked at the brigade commander and answered truthfully.

"Brigade Commander, the new Second Regiment has now basically established a foothold."

"The next step is to continue development and continue fighting."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded.

"it is good."

He stood up and walked up to Zhou Tianyang.

He reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Tianyang, I'm at ease entrusting the new Second Regiment to you."

"yes!"

Zhou Tianyang stood at attention and answered.

"Rest assured, Commander, I will certainly live up to your trust!"

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and released his grip.

"Alright, go ahead."

"Call Li Yunlong in; I also have something to say to him."

Zhou Tianyang saluted, turned around and walked out.

When he walked out of the courtyard.

Li Yunlong was squatting on the stone stool at the entrance of the courtyard.

He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and squinted.

Upon seeing Zhou Tianyang come out, he quickly stood up.

"Zhou Xiaogui, what did the brigade commander say to you?"

Zhou Tianyang glanced at him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"They didn't say anything, just asked about the situation of the new Second Regiment."

Li Yunlong stared at him for a few seconds, clearly not quite believing him.

But I didn't ask any further questions.

"Alright, the brigade commander lets you in."

Zhou Tianyang patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't say I didn't warn you, the brigade commander is in a good mood today, so don't mess with him."

Li Yunlong stubbed out his cigarette and straightened his clothes.

"When did I ever offend him?"

After saying that, he strode into the courtyard.

Zhou Tianyang stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching his figure disappear into the gate.

Can't help but laugh.

yard.

Brigade Commander Chen sat at the stone table, holding a teacup in his hand.

Seeing Li Yunlong come in, he put down his teacup and leaned back in his chair.

Li Yunlong walked to the stone table and stood at attention.

"Please sit down."

Commander Chen pointed to the stone bench opposite.

Li Yunlong sat down, his back ramrod straight.

With his hands on his knees, he looked like a well-behaved student.

Commander Chen looked at him and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Li Yunlong, what did you say to Tianyang outside just now?"

Li Yunlong's expression changed instantly.

"No... he didn't say anything."

"Just ask him what the brigade commander told him."

Brigade Commander Chen snorted.

"You seem quite concerned."

Li Yunlong chuckled but didn't reply.

Brigade Commander Chen looked at Li Yunlong.

"Li Yunlong, I called you in because I have something to ask you."

Li Yunlong stood up straight.

"Brigadier, please ask."

"How many people are in your new regiment exactly?"

Li Yunlong thought for a moment and answered truthfully.

"Reporting to the brigade commander, the new regiment now has 213 men."

After listening, Brigade Commander Chen nodded.

"Where's the equipment?"

Regarding equipment...

Li Yunlong's tone became somewhat ambiguous.

"All of them are Type 38 rifles."

"Ammunition is also relatively plentiful."

Brigade Commander Chen stared at him for a few seconds.

Are you sure?

"Sure!"

Li Yunlong's voice rose a few decibels.

"Commander, would I lie to you?"

Brigade Commander Chen didn't speak, he just looked at him.

Li Yunlong felt a little uneasy under their gaze, but he forced himself not to look away.

After a long while, Brigade Commander Chen finally looked away.

"Okay, I believe you."

He paused, his tone becoming serious.

"Li Yunlong, I have something to say to you."

"The new regiment is a newly formed unit with a weak foundation and poor basic skills."

"You also need to think about how to lead the troops well."

"Training cannot stop, and discipline cannot be relaxed."

"Especially for newly recruited soldiers, we must be even more strict with them."

"yes!"

Li Yunlong stood at attention and answered.

"Rest assured, Brigade Commander, I will definitely lead the new regiment well!"

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and leaned back in his chair.

"There's one more thing."

"Keep your mouth shut."

"Don't brag everywhere, and don't cause trouble everywhere."

"If I find out you've caused me trouble again, I'll teach you a lesson."

Li Yunlong's expression changed slightly.

"Brigadier, when have I ever caused trouble?"

Brigade Commander Chen snorted coldly.

"Do you want me to recount all the messes you've made in the past, one by one?"

Li Yunlong fell silent.

Brigade Commander Chen looked at him, his tone softening somewhat.

"Alright, go ahead."

Let's have dinner together tonight.

Li Yunlong stood up and saluted.

He turned and strode out.

Brigade Commander Chen watched Li Yunlong's figure disappear outside the door.

"Old Wang."

He looked at Political Commissar Wang sitting next to him.

"What do you think of those two kids?"

Political Commissar Wang put down the documents in his hand and thought for a moment.

"Li Yunlong is a master of fighting, but he's too good at causing trouble."

"Zhou Tianyang is young, intelligent, and reliable."

"Both of them have their strengths and weaknesses, but they are both rare talents."

Brigade Commander Chen nodded.

"You're right."

He paused, his tone tinged with emotion.

"I was a little hesitant when I first asked them to go out and build up their teams."

"In hindsight, that decision was the right one."

Political Commissar Wang smiled.

"Brigadier, you have a keen eye for talent."

Brigade Commander Chen waved his hand.

"What discerning eye? They have the ability themselves."

"As the brigade commander, I was just giving them a chance."

……

evening.

"Come on, Tianyang, try this."

Brigade Commander Chen picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Zhou Tianyang's bowl.

"I had the mess hall make this especially for me, using the canned pork you sent."

Zhou Tianyang looked at the meat in the bowl, then at Commander Chen.

"Brigade Commander, you're too kind."

Brigade Commander Chen waved his hand.

"You've won a great battle and sent so much stuff to the brigade headquarters. Shouldn't I treat you to a meal?"

He picked up a piece of meat himself and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Li Yunlong held his bowl, eating with his mouth full of oil.

"Brigade Commander, the meat at the brigade headquarters is much better than what our regiment has."

Brigade Commander Chen glared at him.

"Even food can't shut you up?"

Li Yunlong chuckled and said nothing more.

Several people were eating, each holding a bowl.

No one spoke, but the atmosphere was relaxed.

By the time we finished eating, it was completely dark.

Commander Chen stood up and patted his stomach.

"Alright, I'm full."

He turned around and looked at Li Yunlong and Zhou Tianyang.

"You two, stay at the brigade headquarters tonight."

"I'll go back first thing tomorrow morning."

"yes!"

The two answered in unison.

Brigade Commander Chen nodded and turned to walk towards the courtyard.

After taking a few steps, he turned back.

"By the way, Tianyang, come with me for a moment."

"There's something else I need to tell you."

Zhou Tianyang put down his bowl and followed Brigade Commander Chen into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Brigade Commander Chen sat at the stone table.

He picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, and then put it down.

"sit."

Zhou Tianyang sat down opposite him, waiting for him to speak.

Brigade Commander Chen did not rush to speak, but tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

After a long while, he finally raised his head and looked at Zhou Tianyang.

"Tianyang, have you ever considered splitting the First Battalion of the Second New Regiment in two and expanding it into two battalions?"

Zhou Tianyang was stunned for a moment.

Brigade Commander Chen nodded, his tone becoming serious.

"You now have more than 350 men, which is the full strength of a battalion."

"If we recruit more soldiers, we'll have to expand our ranks."

"After dividing the first battalion into two battalions, plus the regimental headquarters, it becomes the framework of a regiment."

"If you concentrate all the veterans in one battalion, the development will become unbalanced."
