Chapter 81 Commander Li, Please Think It Over
After the gunshot, the entire courtyard fell silent.
Then came Li Yunlong's loud shout.
Wei Dayong and the others stopped what they were doing, huddled together like startled rabbits, not daring to say a word.
Old Xu was punched twice by Wei Dayong, and there's still a bruise on his face.
After being helped up by two soldiers, he hurriedly asked Li Yunlong for help: "Commander! These rascals are stealing meat from the mess hall. You'd better do something about it when you get here."
On his way here, Li Yunlong had already learned about the situation from the sentry.
Li Yunlong pointed at Wei Dayong and the others, cursing angrily, "Damn it, who gave you the guts to run wild in the Independent Regiment!"
"Whoever stole our Independent Regiment's meat, step forward now!"
With a loud shout, Wei Dayong and the others looked at each other, but none of them dared to step forward.
Two of the soldiers even wiped the oil residue from the corners of their mouths, pretending to be completely unaware.
Seeing that no one stepped forward, Old Xu immediately pointed at Wei Dayong and several soldiers, including Old He, and angrily shouted, "Regimental Commander, it's them! And this monk, he's a monk, and he's stealing meat too!"
Wei Dayong was very unhappy to be named, and glared at Lao He.
Old Xu had just been punched a few times by him, and his chest was still sore. He knew he was no match for Wei Heshang, so when he saw the other man's fierce eyes, he became noticeably timid.
However, with the commander already there, Old Xu quickly adjusted his mindset and said again, "You stinking monk, you ate the meat but dare not admit it, what are you glaring at for!"
"Damn it!" Wei Dayong couldn't hold back any longer and retorted, "Who the hell are you calling a bastard?"
"You son of a bitch..." Old Xu was about to retort, but suddenly realized something was wrong and changed his words: "Go to hell! Stealing other people's food and being so arrogant, shameless!"
"Um?"
Wei Dayong was also a simple and honest man, and he was the first to step forward.
He glared angrily at the crowd and said, "Yes, I ate it, so what?! You Eighth Route Army soldiers are getting rich and eating meat, while we're just eating white flour buns? We're supposed to be friendly forces, right? This is discrimination."
As soon as Wei Dayong finished speaking, Lao Xu was about to retort when he saw Li Yunlong walking over.
Li Yunlong glanced at Wei Heshang with a stern face, his eyes filled with anger!
Damn it, they were captured by the Japanese and rescued by the Eighth Route Army. Not only are they ungrateful, but they also dare to steal things right under their noses. Isn't this obviously an attempt to rebel?
Li Yunlong stepped forward, pointed at Wei Dayong, and cursed, "Kid, you're shameless! Giving you a bite to eat is already being generous; you want meat? If you want meat, go back to your Central Army. Now that you've hit one of my men, you'd better give me an explanation, or I won't be polite!"
"Oh?"
Wei Dayong also glanced at Li Yunlong and thought that what the former said was the biggest joke he had heard all year.
Wei Dayong sneered, "Sir, we've already eaten the meat, so do whatever you want."
"You son of a bitch..."
Wei Dayong's words instantly ignited Li Yunlong's fury.
At that moment, Li Yunlong's gun was already pointed at Wei Dayong's head, and he was about to fire!
When Wei Dayong saw how fierce the other party was and saw the gun pointed at him, he was also startled.
"Old Li!"
"Commander!"
At the same time, Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao rushed forward and stood in front of Li Yunlong.
Wei Dayong stole the meat, but Li Yunlong couldn't shoot him. After all, Wei Dayong was a soldier of friendly forces. If Li Yunlong got angry and shot Wei Dayong dead, his superiors would definitely not let him off the hook.
These past few days, Kong Jie has gone to the brigade headquarters for a meeting and mentioned the captured soldiers. The brigade commander also takes it quite seriously and is preparing to ask the Central Army to repatriate Wei Dayong and others...
Kong Jie, intending to snatch Li Yunlong's gun, said, "Old Li, don't be impulsive!"
Li Yunlong persisted relentlessly; if Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao hadn't been in his way, he really would have dared to fire.
"What happened?"
Just then, Zhao Gang rushed over from outside the courtyard.
The two comrades explained it in a few words.
Zhao Gang's previously friendly expression instantly darkened.
While it's infuriating that Wei Dayong and his gang stole meat, surely they shouldn't have been shot on the spot?
The Eighth Route Army is the people's army. If they were Japanese soldiers, it would be fine, but now they are the Central Army.
Zhao Gang glanced at Li Yunlong, who was still furious...
As the new political commissar of the Independent Regiment, he has to say a few words now.
He walked up to Li Yunlong and said sternly, "Commander Li, don't be impulsive. Wei Dayong has violated discipline. We can talk to him properly. It doesn't have to come to the point of using guns."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunlong replied, "This is none of your business; I will handle it."
Zhao Gang said briskly, "Commander Li, what do you mean I, Zhao Gang, have to do with this? I'm the new political commissar of the Independent Regiment now!"
"You haven't taken office yet!"
"I've reported for duty by arriving at the Independent Regiment! Commander Li, I urge you to reconsider; you cannot fire this shot!"
"You son of a bitch, it's none of your business what I do."
Li Yunlong's words were clearly directed at Zhao Gang...
Zhao Gang was a cultured man, a highly educated intellectual, and he got angry when he heard Li Yunlong cursing.
With so many people watching, how could he, as the political commissar, save face? How could he carry out his work in the future? What would the soldiers say about him?
Zhao Gang did not answer. While Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao were blocking Li Yunlong, he snatched the pistol from Li Yunlong's hand.
"OK!"
Li Yunlong felt his right hand suddenly go empty, and his eyes widened like copper bells.
Damn it, he's been a soldier for so many years and has never been disarmed before, and now he's been disarmed by a pale-faced scholar...
The soldiers nearby were also dumbfounded. The task that Political Commissar Zhao had come to the Independent Regiment to talk about was to disarm Li Yunlong?
Zhao Gang ignored Li Yunlong, handed his pistol to a soldier beside him, and then glared at Wei Dayong and the others, angrily saying, "You lot, you stole food and beat up our soldiers, you broke the rules, do you not admit your mistakes?"
Wei Dayong raised an eyebrow, intending to refute.
But then, like a deflated balloon, he nodded.
Well, if Zhao Gang hadn't taken Li Yunlong's gun, he might be dead by now.
Therefore, he was somewhat grateful to Zhao Gang, and it was indeed true that they were in the wrong first.
Seeing that Wei Dayong had lowered his head, the other soldiers also nodded and remained silent.
Zhao Gang then said, "Men, lock them all up first, and deal with them after the victory celebration banquet."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers did not move.
The soldiers also have tempers. Wei Dayong and others stole their meat and beat people up. They should be punished on the spot. Why are they locked up now?
At the same time, many soldiers were not familiar with Zhao Gang, so they naturally sided with Li Yunlong.
Seeing that no one was making a move, Kong Jie angrily said, "What are you all standing there for? Lock them up!"
Kong Jie's orders were effective.
"yes!"
At that moment, more than a dozen soldiers escorted Wei Dayong and the others away from the kitchen, and this time they did not resist.
Finally, Kong Jie and Zhang Dabiao released Li Yunlong.
Li Yunlong pouted, his face dark and gloomy, like a silent gourd.
Knowing that Li Yunlong was about to launch into a verbal attack, Kong Jie ordered the soldiers to leave quickly to avoid causing any disruption.
Kong Jie found a chair and sat down, saying sternly, "Old Li! You were too impulsive just now."
Although Zhang Dabiao didn't say anything, his expression revealed that he agreed with Kong Jie's statement.
