Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 81 Sun Desheng: I haven’t gotten in the car yet!

 That afternoon, Li Yunlong had been actively handling various regimental affairs in his room.

 Before he came to report, although the substitute battalion commander Le Zhengdou made some basic arrangements, many details still had to be checked personally by Li Yunlong, the regiment leader.

 The first is the health issue of the troops. Maintaining daily hygiene is an important part of the lives of Eighth Route Army soldiers and is also an important part of military construction.

This is something that many people will ignore, but veterans will know how important this is, because once something goes wrong, it will greatly affect the combat effectiveness of the army.

 First of all, you have to ensure the physical health of the soldiers themselves. At present, because the Eighth Route Army will face severe situations at any time, the food for the soldiers is better than that of the preserved fruit troops.

 In summer, the troops eat black beans as their main food, and occasionally some millet and sorghum. Although there is a high probability that you will not go hungry, long-term consumption of black beans will lead to physical decline.

 Sickness is easy to occur when the body's immunity is weakened, and the number of illnesses will increase sharply in a short period of time, and there is even the possibility of infection.

When Li Yunlong first took over the new regiment, he ignored this reason due to carelessness.

 Making malaria, dysentery, enteritis, scabies and other diseases widespread among institutions and companies, some soldiers lost weight because of this.

 Even in the most severe cases, the incidence rate among troops was as high as 80% or even over 90%. The company became a rest home, the company commander became the director, and he, the regiment leader, also became the dean.

If it weren't for the fact that several old doctors in the county were willing to help and braved the risk to come to the regiment headquarters to prescribe some medicine and write down some folk prescriptions for the soldiers.

The new group will be in big trouble. With that experience, Li Yunlong will definitely not make the same mistake again.

 Another problem is that some comrades in the army do not pay attention to personal hygiene. It is normal for them not to rinse their mouths, wash their feet, or take a shower.

 The clothes are not washed even if they are dirty, and even if there are lice, they don’t know how to dry them. This not only affects the collective environment, but may also breed infectious diseases.

Although it is his first day in office, the experienced Commander Li has already begun arranging inspections of internal affairs and striving to reduce non-combat attrition.

Moreover, he also needs to worry more about the food problem of the troops. Since the "Eighth Route Army Supply Work Regulations" were issued, although the logistics system has been further improved.

 However, because the situation in each region is different, the standards have not yet been implemented. The problems of soldiers' insufficient caloric intake and low nutritional value are common, and we must find ways to deal with them.

 But fortunately, this partially overlaps with another job.

 As the people's army, the Eighth Route Army will help villagers reclaim land and participate in agricultural production except when it has combat missions.

 This is done to try to ensure that the army can achieve a certain degree of self-sufficiency and reduce the burden on the people.

Moreover, after the originally poor people had a certain amount of surplus food in their hands, they were more willing to believe that the Eighth Route Army could lead them to live a good life, and they were willing to provide certain support to the army.

 The masses of the people are the basic base of the base area.

This work must be taken seriously by both the main force and the basic regiment. Li Yunlong needs the New Second Regiment to arrange for soldiers to participate in farming activities in batches while ensuring the safety of the surrounding environment.

He is even planning to organize a well-drilling team to help the masses dig wells and expand the available water sources near the garrison.

 The planting of food, vegetables and yams also requires the arrangement of some experienced warriors.

Because Huang He went to the headquarters recently. Although I don’t know what he said, the deputy commander-in-chief issued a new order a few days ago, to plant trees!

Li Yunlong didn't know the reason for this order, but considering that planting trees has the benefits of preventing drought, windbreak and sand fixation, he naturally attached great importance to the fact that the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

 Finally, we must pay attention to the mental health of the new soldiers. Judging from the current situation of the New Second Regiment, it is unlikely that the headquarters will directly issue combat missions in a short time.

 Many warriors who have never seen the cruelty of the battlefield will become a little impetuous after a certain amount of training.

 This matter requires combining military training with sports to let them vent their strong energy.

Although the New Second Regiment does not yet have a political commissar, Li Yunlong has been holding multiple positions all year round. He can barely handle this aspect of work, at least he can carry out three operations and two lectures.

Based on his own combat experience, he developed training such as shooting, grenade throwing, obstacle running, stabbing, anti-aircraft/poison/cannon training.

 After a busy day, after all the work arrangements were completed, the moon had already come out. Li Yunlong picked up the millet porridge prepared for him by the cooking team and finished his dinner hastily.

 This is the first time since he joined the army that he felt that he needed a political commissar to cooperate with him in his work.

The reason why Li Yunlong has such a strong sense of urgency is because he heard some rumors in the logistics department. It seems that the headquarters is about to make big moves, and we can get a glimpse of it from the production tasks of each district.

As the leader of a thousand-man regiment, he not only has to perform combat missions, but also is responsible for his comrades.

Thinking of this, his sleepiness disappeared.

Li Yunlong immediately got up from his bed, lit a candle and carefully studied the map around the station. He was going to find an enemy as a whetstone for the soldiers of the New Second Regiment.

　　——————

 At dawn the next day, after Li Yunlong finished morning exercises with the soldiers, he immediately set off for Xingjia Village, where the new regiment was based.

 Many soldiers and even fellow villagers knew the car driven by Li Yunlong. He parked the car directly at the entrance of the village. Although it was not a glorious return home, the soldiers were still very happy to see their old leader.

Li Yunlong never stopped patting this person on the back and squeezing that shoulder.

After arriving at the headquarters of the new regiment, Ding Wei looked at Li Yunlong with some surprise. He did not expect that his old comrade-in-arms would suddenly come to visit him. But judging from the other party's spirit, he must have been transferred from the logistics department.

Li Yunlong quickly sat down opposite Ding Wei and poured out the water in the bowl opposite. Then he took out two bottles of Fenjiu from his collection, which were the remaining stocks from the last "bribery" attempt.

Looking at the straight eyes of his old comrade-in-arms, Lao Li asked straight to the point:

“Does your group have anything important to do today? If we drink, will it affect your work?”

Ding Wei thought carefully and asked the guard to call the three battalion commanders in the regiment to arrange today's training tasks.

 After seeing Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan, Li Yunlong winked and greeted them. This familiar feeling immediately let them know one thing.

 The leader of his family is coming to redeem them.

After giving instructions on the work that needed to be carried out today, the three battalion commanders left the regiment headquarters, leaving only Ding and Li.

 Li Yunlong poured wine, pointed at Ding Wei’s nose and cursed:

“You **** boy, you picked it up ready-made, worked hard to pull it up, and finally made a wedding dress for you.”

Ding Wei picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. The dry drinking made him feel wet all at once. When he heard his old comrade scolding him, he was not angry and responded with a helpless look:

"I can't help it. The order was given by the Vice President himself. If you have the ability, go to the Vice President!"

"What's the use of my teeth? Why don't you go have a fight with the brigade commander? And I told you when you went to the logistics department that the army is short of military cadres, and you won't be able to stay long."

“Let me get it right now, if you don’t go to the battlefield and make a name for yourself at the age of thirty-one, it’s nothing to sit in the logistics department and raise pigs.”

Li Yunlong knew his old comrade very well, and his face was as thick-skinned as his own.

“You **** thing got an advantage and acted like a good boy. You should know why I came to the new group today. We agreed at that time, and I also ventilated the brigade commander, so you have to be happy.”

There is no problem with the direct transfer of personnel within the army as long as it is approved by superiors. There are many examples of friendly force support work within the Eighth Route Army.

But Ding Wei is not a good person. If it weren't for Huang He's acquisition of the production line and the logistics department now trying its best to replenish weapons for each army, he would definitely give Li Yunlong a small blow.

"Then don't be too harsh, kid. We agreed on the two battalion commanders before. I don't have many junior officers, so don't act recklessly."

Ding Wei had already made preparations and trained two deputy battalion commanders. Even if Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan are transferred away, it will not affect the combat effectiveness of the new regiment.

It's just that this incident made him feel a little distressed. After all, no commander doesn't like soldiers who can fight and are obedient.

Hearing that his comrades were so cheerful, Li Yunlong smiled and showed his iconic big white teeth.

“You, Old Ding, are so happy today, come and have a drink! I, Li Yunlong, owe you a favor! If you need anything, just speak up. As long as you don’t violate discipline, I will definitely help you!”

 Both of them have a good capacity for drinking. After drinking one bottle, they started to do business. Ding Wei arranged the personnel transfer resolutely.

This time Li Yunlong came to the new group and it was a great harvest. In addition to Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan, he also took away Huzi, Zhuzi, Wang Gensheng and Wang Xikui.

 Zhang Dabiao and Shen Quan were, of course, the most important people in the new group besides Li Yunlong. It's a pity that the third battalion commander cannot be taken away. He is also an excellent soldier.

Wang Gensheng was an enemy soldier captured in the Northwest. Because he longed for life in the base area, he joined the Eighth Route Army after many tests.

  He has been following Li Yunlong for these years and is very experienced in throwing grenades. There is no one in the whole group who is better at using grenades than him.

Wang Xikui is a precise shooter. Coupled with Zhu Zhu and Hu Zi, Li Yunlong grinned almost to his ears.

 Captain Li Da, who smelled of alcohol, walked into the car triumphantly. The two battalion commanders sat in the passenger seat, and the others could only stay in the car for the time being.

 When he was about to set off, Li Yunlong remembered something!

 “Damn it! I’m drunk! How can I drive like this!”

Ever since he had a small problem driving with Huanghe last time, he has kept in mind the advice given to him by his fellow villagers. And he is not Maozi, not at that level.

Ding Wei, who came to see him off, saw his comrade's embarrassment and introduced the driver who had been prepared to Li Yunlong.

This soldier was originally a member of the preserved fruit transport team. When he went home to visit relatives, he discovered that the Eighth Route Army was a force dedicated to the people, so he decisively abandoned the dark side and turned to the bright side.

Of course, this is what happened when Li Yunlong was raising pigs in the logistics department.

After the truck started, Captain Li happily ran into the truck compartment to get some air and sober up. He leaned on Huzi and imagined a bright future.

Suddenly, he slapped his thigh suddenly, and then showed an expression of blood loss.

"It's over, it's over, I forgot about Sun Desheng! Next time I want someone, I will definitely have to bleed some blood!"

Sometimes the drama version is a little different from the original work. When there is ambiguity, I will use whichever one is more clear.

Shen Quan has always followed Li Yunlong in the encyclopedia. In Wang Gensheng's original work, he was the first person to be a Sanma.

The plot of this volume is relatively large. Before the official start, I will work hard to strengthen the combat effectiveness of every regiment that I can write.
