Chapter 265 If anything happens to you, the brigade commander will skin me alive! 3-word chapter
"College student, you are so bold. You just tricked the three of us and sneaked into the enemy camp. You ignored our words. If something goes wrong, how can I explain to the brigade commander?"
"The brigade commander has repeatedly told me to ensure your safety. If anything happens to you, he will skin me alive and maybe even kick my head like a chamber pot. If you don't think about yourself, you should think about me at least. Can you spare me some worry?" Li Yunlong scolded angrily.
It was really because Lin Zhenhua was too bold this time and did not inform him in advance. If the monk had not sent someone to deliver the letter, he really would not have known that Lin Zhenhua had sneaked into the Japanese camp and was strolling around in it in a swagger. He was scared to death and broke into a cold sweat. After asking about the situation, he put aside his worries and hurried over with a platoon of soldiers.
Lin Zhenhua touched his head in embarrassment and quickly changed the subject: "Old Li, let's talk about this later. Let's clear out the enemy camp first. If the enemy has reinforcements, we will never get all these good things!"
Li Yunlong's attention was suddenly diverted to the Japanese camp. When he saw the three destroyed radio stations, he felt very distressed. The Independent Regiment had always lacked tools for external communications. The emergency radio station developed by Lin Zhenhua before had too high a failure rate, which really delayed things. He had originally thought that he could seize a few more from the Japanese, but this thing was also very valuable to the Japanese, which meant that the Independent Regiment had not been able to seize a few until now. Even if they had seized one or two usable radios, they were all sent to the brigade headquarters. Seeing these three radio stations, Li Yunlong was very envious.
After a careful inspection, he found that the radio station was severely damaged. Li Yunlong said with great sorrow: "Damn the Japs, they smashed such a good thing. They really don't know how to live! The poor will be poor to death, and the rich will be rich to death. I thought I could get a few radios from the Japs this time, so that I could contact the brigade headquarters. Now it seems that this matter can only be delayed!"
"College student, when you were trading with the Third Reich before, why didn't you think of getting some radios from them? Now the Third Reich doesn't want to trade with us anymore. Even if we can trade with each other, I'm afraid it won't escape the eyes of the devils. It's impossible to transport the traded equipment back safely like before!"
Lin Zhenhua knew that what Li Yunlong said was the truth. He originally thought that the equipment of this division included a radio station, but he didn't expect that something went wrong. For the time being, he could only swallow this bitter fruit. The radio station issue was indeed difficult to resolve and could only be left for later.
"Old Li, please stop complaining. We have to hurry up and find people to clear out the enemy's camp. We only have one night left. We have to mobilize the people in the base to help. Otherwise, with the few people we have, we may not be able to finish the move even if we work for three days!"
Li Yunlong had the same idea. He left all the platoon of soldiers he brought with him and handed them over to Lin Zhenhua for command. Before leaving, he did not forget to instruct him, "College student, I will go back to get reinforcements. We must guard the enemy's camp well. We can't let others take advantage of so many good things. Our independent regiment has suffered a lot of losses these days. Now is a good time to make up for the losses!"
"Lao Zhao called just now and said that the battle at Xiaobaozhuang has ended. Their situation is better than ours, but not much better. The most hateful thing is that the Japanese have no intention of retreating and are still confronting Lao Zhao. Right now we have no way to send troops to support them. We can only let Lao Zhao continue to hold on and see who will give up first!"
"Let's not talk about this any more. I have to go back quickly. It will be too late if I am late! I have just told the monk to be responsible for protecting your safety. No matter where you go from now on, you must bring the monk with you. Don't ignore my instructions this time, otherwise I will really beat you up!"
Lin Zhenhua promised with a serious face: "Old Li, I will definitely follow your orders. You should hurry up and call for help. It's getting dark now. It will take several hours to go back and forth. Time is short and the task is heavy. If we delay any further, we may not be able to empty the enemy camp by dawn!"
Li Yunlong didn't say anything more and drove the truck to Xiaoyunling position. He arrived at Xiaoyunling position half an hour later. The reason why the speed was so slow was mainly because there were too many shell holes on the road. Driving was not even as fast as walking. This made Li Yunlong regret it. His butt was sore from driving all the way. When he arrived at Xiaoyunling position, he had no time to rest, so he immediately called Zhang Dashan to organize the people to help empty the Japanese camp.
Ding Wei and Kong Jie saw Li Yunlong grinning, and curiously came over and asked, "Old Li, what were you rushing to do just now?"
Li Yunlong picked up the mung bean soup beside him and drank a bowl. Only then did he feel his dry throat better. He replied with a smile on his face: "I have to say that this college student is really lucky. He secretly led people to the Japanese camp before. I never dreamed that he guessed everything correctly. There was not even a living Japanese in the Japanese camp!"
"After I got the news, I immediately went to check it out and found that it was indeed true. I should hurry back and call people to transport the supplies from the enemy camp. By tomorrow, when the enemy reacts, we only need to send a few bombers to destroy most of the enemy camp. How could I let go of such a good opportunity to pick up the spoils?"
"Besides, we have been fighting the Japanese for so long these days, and the independent regiment has consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition. We can just get some from the Japanese. Not to mention that the Japanese brought a lot of supplies when they came. It is indeed a windfall for us!"
"I saw a lot of rice and flour, and even canned meat. After all, these are the supplies for more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers who have been in a stalemate with us for so many days. Even if most of them are consumed, the remaining part is enough for us to eat our fill!"
After listening to Li Yunlong's story, Ding Wei and Kong Jie almost couldn't help drooling. They had been living a very hard life these days. It was difficult for them to eat black-faced steamed buns on weekdays. It was because the blockade by the Japanese was too severe. In addition, they were severely hit by the Japanese twice in a row. The troops had not recovered at all. This time, Li Yunlong also used up his old capital to come to reinforce, but even so, his organization was destroyed.
"Lao Ding, Lao Kong, I'll leave the matters on the battlefield to you two. I estimate that reinforcements will arrive in three hours. Our independent regiment has 18 armored vehicles and can quickly transport a company of troops here. This is just right for strengthening the defense of the battlefield to prevent any unexpected situations!"
Ding Wei had no objection to Li Yunlong's arrangement and replied with a serious face: "Old Li, leave the matters on the battlefield to me and Old Kong. You should hurry up and call Zhao Gang to tell him to be careful tonight. The Japanese didn't take Xiaobaozhuang during the day, and it is very likely that they will be desperate and launch a night attack at night. The more it is at this time, the more we must not take it lightly."
"The Japanese general actually confessed his guilt. This will definitely put tremendous pressure on the Japanese who are attacking Xiaobaozhuang. Even if they don't get the news now, once they receive the inquiry telegram from the Japanese headquarters, there will be no way to conceal this matter. It's better for Zhao Gang to be careful!"
Kong Jie also persuaded, "We still don't understand why the Japanese are so determined to attack the Independent Regiment. However, judging from the troops they have dispatched, they will not stop until they have wiped out the Independent Regiment. The Japanese summer sweep has just begun, but they have suffered a big loss here. The Japanese can't spare troops to retaliate now, but when they can spare troops, the Independent Regiment will face a life-and-death crisis. We have to act faster and prepare for defense in advance to deal with the next crisis!"
Li Yunlong did not turn a deaf ear to the advice of his two old comrades, but accepted it with a serious face: "Lao Kong, Lao Ding, I have noted down what you two said! I will call Lao Zhao now and tell him to be careful tonight! We must speed up the clearing of the position. Only after the position is cleared can we start repairing the fortifications tomorrow. If the Japanese attack again, we will be more confident to hold on!"
Compared to the nervous Li Yunlong and the other two, Lin Zhenhua was very relaxed. He took the monks to check the supplies left behind by the Japanese. He was very satisfied with the results.
"Monk, we have made a fortune this time. These 48 trucks of the Japanese devils are urgently needed by our base. With these dozens of trucks as transportation tools, our arsenal can be built in some remote places. We only need to repair the roads and turn them into cement roads. Then we don't have to worry about the safety of the arsenal. I have always been troubled by the transportation problem, but now it has finally been solved. The Japanese devils really took advantage of our independent regiment's needs. Isn't this a perfect transportation captain!"
"It's just that the Japanese have too few artillery pieces, but they have a lot of shells, including heavy artillery shells. Unfortunately, all of the Japanese heavy artillery has been destroyed by us. I wonder if these shells can be used directly?"
The monk pointed to a corner in front of the left and said excitedly: "College student, the Japanese have left us hundreds of horse-drawn carriages. Now we can solve half of our biggest headache of transportation. If we clear them out tonight, there will be no problem with the Japanese camp! Commander, please transfer our 18 armored trucks here. It's just that this road is too bumpy. Running is slower than walking. I think we should fill the road first, otherwise it will only delay more time!"
Lin Zhenhua couldn't help but look at Wei Dayong with new eyes. He had the same idea on this point: "Monk, your suggestion is very correct. Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. The more we get to this point, the more we need to distinguish the priorities! On the surface, it seems faster, but in fact it is slower. Only by leveling the road can we speed up our transportation!"
"Send someone to inform the head of the group, and ask him to repair the road first after he and his men arrive. Since we have nothing else to do right now, we should fill up the truck first. If there is enough time, we can load the carriage later!"
