Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 36 Preparations before the war
New Second Regiment Headquarters.

"Old Zhou, the weapons and equipment of the New Second Regiment really surprised me, and the fighting will of the soldiers is also unprecedentedly high." Zhao Gang said after the battalions and platoons came back to understand the situation.

"Take the artillery battalion as an example. The artillery fire of the brigade headquarters is not comparable." Zhao Gang looked like he had never seen the world.

"Old Zhao, get over it soon. We can just talk about it. We managed to save up the wealth of the New Second Regiment. Don't talk about it in front of the brigade commander." Zhou Weihan said to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang was made to smile wryly by Zhou Weihan's words: "Zhou Weihan, who do you take me for? I am the political commissar of the New Second Regiment."

"I hope you can always remember that you are the political commissar of the New Second Regiment." Zhou Weihan bit the last few words very hard.

While the two were talking, Li Daben rushed over from outside.

"The regiment leader, the political commissar, and the situation of the Liubao stronghold have all been investigated. This is the firepower distribution map in the Liubao stronghold." Li Daben took out a piece of paper and said.

"Really? Tell me quickly." Zhou Weihan took the blueprint and said.

"Commander, there is a little devil squadron in the Liubao stronghold. The squadron leader is Yuichi Yamashima. It has three infantry squads with 181 people, a heavy machine gun squad with 40 people, and an artillery squad with 30 people. There are a total of 9 crooked light machine guns. There are 4 Type 90 heavy machine guns and 2 Type [-] mortars."

"In addition to the first time, there is also a battalion of the Wu'an County Guard stationed. There are 9 Jin-made Czech-style light machine guns, 24 Min-3-type heavy machine guns, and the rest are all Jin-made [-]-type guns made by Qingyishui."

"This group of puppet troops is pretty evil. Not to mention the equipment, the bullets are also distributed. I saw it with my own eyes. The bullet belts are bulging." Li Daben took the tea mug handed over by Zhao Gang, and Niu Yin continued.

"Every company in the puppet army has little devils as military advisers. When I went today, they were still doing morning exercises."

"Old Zhou, this little devil is not weak. You can see that the stronghold is built against the mountain. The north side is the mountain, the east, west and south sides, each side has a gun tower and three blockhouses. The firepower distribution has no dead ends." Zhao Gang pointed out. Looking at the firepower distribution on the drawing, he said.

"Old Zhao, what's the matter with your bloody political commissar? You haven't fought yet, and you're saying discouraged words?"

"I'm seeking truth from facts. We can't underestimate the enemy. Don't forget that we are not only facing an enemy from the Liubao stronghold." Zhao Gang said worriedly.

"Hey, what you said is right, but I still want to gnaw on this hard bone. With the firepower of our new second regiment, if I can't take down a small Liubao stronghold within two hours, I will find a wall and hit it. Die." Zhou Weihan said.

"Leader, political commissar, there is another piece of good news." Then Li Daben reported Si Neiyong's plan to cooperate with the new second regiment.

"Damn it, didn't you tell me such important news earlier?" Zhou Weihan gave Li Daben a stare.

"Isn't it too late?" Li Daben was a little bit wronged, and he didn't deserve any credit, and he was scolded.

"That's really great, we have more mobile troops on hand." Zhao Gang said happily.

"Damn it," Zhou Weihan slapped the table and cursed.

Li Daben was too scared to speak by Zhou Weihan, Zhao Gang asked suspiciously: "Old Zhou, isn't this a good thing?"

"Damn it, I never expected Si Neiyong, an old devil, to be so cooperative, and now the business is at a loss," Zhou Weihan said.

When Zhou Weihan thought of the [-]/[-] split with Li Yunlong at that time, he immediately felt that he was at a loss.

"Our new second group can do this business by ourselves, and what about Li Yunlong?" Zhou Weihan said somewhat depressed.

"Old Zhou, let me remind you that the Xinyi Regiment is our brother army. This matter was agreed in advance. You are not willing to change your mind. By then, you and Li Yunlong will not even be able to do it with your old comrades?" Zhao Gang said worriedly.

"Look at what you said, Lao Zhao, I still have some principles. Do you think I'm that guy Li Yunlong, who specializes in eating alone?"

"Correspondent, ask the telegraph operator to send a report to Jiuzong, saying that the devils in Wuyi County will move to the northeast in the near future, please pay attention." As for Si Neiyong's mention of being careful not to accidentally injure, Zhou Weihan didn't mention a word.

"Head, besides attacking Liubao stronghold, can we still make a fortune?" Li Daben said mysteriously.

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Zhou Weihan, who was still suffering just now, immediately cheered up when he said that he could still make a fortune.

"Two miles to the east of the Liubao stronghold is the Sanjiaji. It existed before the little devil built the Liubao stronghold. It was a place where traders from all over the world stayed. Over time, it became a small town." Li Daben committed his old problem again, saying Talking is like telling a story.

"I know about Sanjiaji, why don't you continue?" Zhou Weihan urged.

"It used to be Zhang, Wang, and Liu's three big families. Later, Liu Yidao, the son of rich man Liu, took refuge with the little devil. Rich man Liu forced the other two families to be ruined. He usually uses his son's power to oppress the people and commits all kinds of evil."

"This time, Liu Yidao took me, Watanabe, and Yamashima Yuichi to his house for dinner. The Liu family is very rich, and the guard force has a guard team of dozens of people. In fact, it is a gang of mobs."

"According to what you said, let's beat the rabbit this time and settle the Liu family smoothly." Hearing what Li Daben said, Zhou Weihan immediately felt much better.

Zhou Weihan glanced at Zhao Gang, and deliberately said: "Political Commissar, this is not a violation of discipline."

"No, Zhou Weihan, what do you mean? I still have some sense of judgment. Since the Liu family has taken refuge in the devils and caused disasters in the village, if you don't punish him, who will you punish? Do you think I, Zhao Gang, don't want to get rich?" Zhao Gang said with a smile.

"Leader, let the Liu family be handed over to our independent brigade! The main force eats meat, so we have to drink some soup too?" Li Daben said pitifully.

"Big Li, you did a good job in this mission. I will mark your first achievement. Let the Liu family be dealt with by your independent brigade."

"Yes, Captain, I promise to complete the task."

Since the expansion of the New Second Regiment, Li Daben's independent brigade has expanded to more than 200 people on its own, equipped with the 60-type heavy machine gun seized from the bandits, and several light machine guns. [-] mortars, except for the miscellaneous equipment, the shotgun has been changed from now on, and it suddenly trembled.

"Go to Xinyi Regiment in person, report the situation to Regiment Leader Li, and say that two days later, that is, the attack will be launched on time at four o'clock in the morning on the 13th. Remember what to say and what not to say," Zhou Weihan told Li Daben road.

"Yes, leader, I understand." After speaking, Li Daben turned around and left.

"Assemble the communication squad and immediately notify the battalions and companies. The regiment headquarters has an urgent combat mission, and all the departments should move closer to Daqingshan where the second battalion is located." Zhou Weihan ordered.

"Yes"

Daqing Mountain, where the Second Battalion is located, is the closest station to the Liubao stronghold within the scope of the New Second Regiment.

"Old Zhou, this Li Daben is also a talent, which impresses me." Zhao Gang admired Li Dabang's ability for a moment.

"That's right, we don't like ordinary people. This kid doesn't look like he's usually out of tune, but he actually has something in his stomach."

"Li Dashen is a veteran of the Red Army. He joined the team when he crossed Chishui. His qualifications were older than both of us. However, after the Western Expedition, the team was dispersed by the Ma's army. Since then, he has lost contact with the army and has been wandering around. In the end, I stayed in the new second regiment." Zhou Weihan said.
