Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

Chapter 399 Come Back Alive
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yunlong, Staff Officer Zhong and Deputy Head Qian all rushed to the brigade headquarters, and the three went straight to the command room.

The brigade commander and political commissar are already waiting here.

"Brigade Commander! Political Commissar!" Li Yunlong and the others shouted in unison, saluting the two of them at the same time.

"Hmm." The brigade commander and political commissar saluted back.

"Sit down." The brigade commander signaled the two to sit down.

After Li Yunlong sat down, he saw the map nailed on the wooden board behind the brigade commander. It was the topographic map of Wuhan!

For a while, Li Yunlong probably guessed what the important task the brigade commander gave them was.

"Wuhan's defense is not going well." The brigade commander went straight to the point. The devils have been fighting Wuhan for more than two months, and the position of the national army is being lost.

"Well, it's expected." Li Yunlong nodded and said, this time the devil mobilized the three armies of the sea, land and air to attack Wuhan, and the air superiority is not in the hands of the national army. It is normal that Wuhan can't hold it now.

"The situation over there is not optimistic. Originally, the headquarters did not plan to participate. After all, such a big war,

If we go, we won't be able to help much, but it will delay our development. "The brigade commander said that they are unable to participate in the battle of millions of people.

If they go, the team will suffer heavy losses, and it will be more difficult to develop.

"However, we can't do nothing, although we are now destroying the enemy's railways behind the enemy, harassing the enemy,
But in Wuhan, we can't watch them fight, so the headquarters decided to send a troop to sabotage the devils in Wuhan.
And for this army, the headquarters chose the Xinyi Regiment, because from the current point of view, the most combative force in our team is the Xinyi Regiment.
Of course, this task is very dangerous. Once you go behind the devils, we will not be able to provide other help.
So, if you don't want to go, you can change to someone else. said the Brigadier.

This task is not compulsory, if the new regiment is unwilling to go, the headquarters will replace other troops.

Moreover, at the headquarters, they don't want anything to happen to the Xinyi Regiment. After all, up to now, the Xinyi Regiment's combat effectiveness is the strongest in the team.

But if you change to other troops, if you are surrounded by devils, you may not even be able to break through. The final result can be imagined.

But the new group can, as long as they are not surrounded by a large number of devils, it is easy for the new group to break through.

If the strength was not strong before, the headquarters would not choose to participate, after all, there is really no way.

But it is different now, because of the new infantry drill code and the pile of money seized recently, the team has developed rapidly and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, so the headquarters moved the idea of ​​​​sending a troop to Wuhan.

Moreover, compared to other regiment leaders, Li Yunlong's abilities are outstanding, not to mention Li Jin's special warfare company.

Sending the new regiment over, the headquarters also had high hopes, believing that the new regiment could cause a lot of trouble for the devils.

"We have accepted this task!" Li Yunlong said directly, it was not his style to flinch.

"Although it is dangerous for us to go, compared to other regiments, we are safer if we go." Deputy head Qian also said.

The fighting power of the new regiment has become stronger, and it is impossible for the devils to annihilate them without six or seven thousand people surrounding them!
Besides, the devils want to surround them in the mountains, how can it be so simple, they are more suitable for fighting in the mountains than the devils!
If they were replaced by other regiments, their weapons would not be as good as those of the new regiment, and their combat effectiveness would not be as good as that of the new regiment. They might not be able to come back after they left.

"You guys have to think about it." The brigade commander asked. In his opinion, this task was indeed too dangerous.

Even if the large army of devils is in front, there will not be too few devils in the rear, and the danger is great.

"Don't think about it, let's go." Li Yunlong said, anyway, it's all about messing with little devils, so going there is different.

Going to Wuhan should at least make a big noise for the devils in the rear and delay the devils' attack time. Although the impact on the frontal battlefield is not very great, it can also make the devils in the rear feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"Well, since you have chosen to go, if you need help, you can mention it now." The brigade commander said, he also guessed that Li Yunlong would choose to go.

"Now the Xinyi Regiment needs guns and cannons, and doesn't need any support." Li Yunlong said, since they want to do something, they have to do it big.

Small groups of troops are wiped out as quickly as possible. As for those with more than two thousand devils, sneak attacks and harassment are used at night. In short, those devils are not easy to do.

"I'm adjusting fifteen light machine guns for you, eight more mortars, twenty grenadiers,

Cannonball is giving you fifty boxes. Remember, you will have to return it when you come back. "The brigade commander said that he had arranged these things before Li Yunlong came over.

The Xinyi Regiment does have more weapons than the other regiments, but light machine guns are more suitable for this mission than heavy machine guns.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong nodded.

"By the way, medicines, anti-inflammatory medicines, hemostatic medicines, painkillers, fever-reducing medicines, all of these are needed." Li Yunlong said that he wanted more medicines than weapons, so he could be prepared.

"Well, yes, is there anything else?" The brigade commander nodded.

Li Yunlong shook his head, probably that's it.

"I sent you over this time, and the harassment period is one month. During this month, you can do whatever step you can. Don't try to be brave.

If you find that you can't do anything, immediately withdraw, and you must not disobey orders, understand! "The brigade commander exhorted.

He was afraid that Li Yunlong would stab him again. If it wasn't for Staff Officer Zhong and the others to follow, he would not be at ease just letting Li Yunlong lead the troops there.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong replied loudly.

"Chief of Staff Zhong, look at him, don't let him mess up. If this kid is messed up, just tie him up and take him away without asking me for instructions." The brigade commander warned again.

"Understood! I promise not to let him mess up!" Staff Officer Zhong said seriously.

When Li Yunlong heard what the brigade commander said, he felt uncomfortable. What did he mean when he was messed up, and when did he get messed up.

"Three days later, you are ready to go. By the way, how many people are there in the new regiment now?!" The brigade commander asked.

"There are 3000 or [-] people, all of whom are experienced fighters." Li Yunlong said that this time the attack on Guyuan County was not only for supplies, but also for training.

"Well, at the headquarters, you are only allowed to lead 2000 people. As for the rest, you can stay at the Xinyi regiment's station." base.

"Yes!"

"By the way, take this map of the devil's attack direction and you take it with you,
It marks the place that the devils have already occupied. As for which direction to go to do things, you can decide after you go back to the meeting. said the Brigadier.

This is the only thing they can do now. The specific action plan still needs Li Yunlong and the others to go there to make a decision.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong nodded. With this map, they wouldn't be blind there.

"Brigade Commander, have you allocated the radio station seized in Guyuan County before?!" Li Yunlong asked.

"Not yet, it was originally planned to be distributed to the independent regiment." The brigade commander said, he had not distributed the seized radio station yet.

"How about giving this radio station to the special warfare company temporarily?!" Li Yunlong said.

In the past this time, he felt that the special warfare company should have a radio station, so that it would be convenient for the two parties to communicate with each other. The key point is that after going there, Li Yunlong planned to let Li Jin fight the devils by himself, and the new regiment would provide assistance from the side.

"Okay, then I will give it to the special warfare company first, but I have agreed that this is a loan, and I have to return it after the mission is completed." The brigade commander said.

"Understood!" Li Yunlong said. Naturally, this radio station cannot really be given to the special warfare company. After all, in the Eighth Route Army, except for the Xinyi Regiment, other regiment-level troops cannot have radio stations.

"Since you have accepted this task, then go back and make preparations. In short, fight if you can, and withdraw if you can't. We will do our part." The brigade commander urged again, he hoped that Li Yunlong would come back alive.

"Yes!" Li Yunlong nodded.

"Go back and prepare." The brigade commander waved his hand.

Soon, the brigade commander sent people to prepare all the resources Li Yunlong wanted, and sent people to set off with Li Yunlong and the others to the regiment headquarters.

"Commander, this time I went to Wuhan, I don't think it's easy to fight devils." On the way back, Staff Officer Zhong rode close to Li Yunlong and said.

He is not very familiar with Wuhan, so he feels uneasy.

"Not at all." Deputy Head Qian said, he felt that there were still some beatings.

"There's nothing wrong with fighting. We're going to the rear of the devils this time to do things. Their large troops are fighting the national army at the front. Our side is relatively safer." Li Yunlong said.

The current troops of the devils are blocking the front line. Although there may be a lot of people in the rear, it is safer than the front line no matter what.

"Okay, let's go back quickly."

.........

At twelve noon the next day, Li Yunlong returned to the regiment headquarters.

The first thing I did when I went back was to call all the battalion and company commanders to the regiment headquarters, and Li Jin was also called.

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, all cadres above the company level went to the command room.

They didn't quite understand what happened, but they all knew that there was going to be a big move, otherwise they wouldn't be in such a hurry.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get ready for a meeting." Li Yunlong glanced at everyone.

At this time, Staff Officer Zhong pulled the map nailed on the wooden board behind Li Yunlong.

Everyone looked at the map, and their hearts skipped a beat, Wuhan? !Is this mission going to Wuhan? !
This is too far!

Li Jin frowned, why did he suddenly go to Wuhan, it's not very safe there now, the devils almost beat down the national army.

Even if the new regiment passes by, it is impossible to turn the tide of the battle.

"I went to the brigade headquarters for a meeting yesterday, and the brigade commander gave us a task, that is to go to Wuhan to do things for the devils,

The devils are attacking there now, so our task is to go to the rear of the devils to do things, and not let the devils live too easily in the rear.
If you have any comments, you can raise them now. "Li Yunlong said.

"Captain, isn't that a bit too far away from us, and we are not very familiar with the terrain, fighting in an unfamiliar place will affect the combat effectiveness." Song Qian said.

They are not very familiar with the terrain over there, this question is very critical.

"The terrain is unfamiliar and we can adapt quickly. We are not familiar with it, can there be devils who are not familiar with it!" Li Yunlong said.

Compared with devils, they have an advantage. After all, they can easily adapt to survive in a harsh environment, and they can go there as well.

"The environment over there may not be very friendly to our soldiers." Zhang Dabiao also said.

They are not afraid of beating the devils directly, but they are afraid that the soldiers will get sick because of acclimatization. This is the most deadly thing. He is afraid that the soldiers will not adapt.

"So, these difficulties are exactly what we have to overcome. We don't feel good, and so do the devils.

Moreover, in terms of medicines, the brigade commander has also prepared them for us, let's try to exercise restraint! "Li Yunlong said.

He knew that there would be many difficulties going there this time. The difficulty was not fighting devils, but the environment.

"Commander, the key point is that the diarrhea caused by the unaccustomed soil will make the soldiers seriously dehydrated. We have to prepare a lot of salt and soak it for the soldiers to drink when the time comes.
Tea leaves and garlic should also be prepared. This is an earthen recipe, which can effectively stop diarrhea. "Li Jin said at this time.

Unacclimatized water and soil can cause diarrhea and lead to dehydration. Drinking salt water can help, and boiling tea and garlic slices can effectively stop diarrhea.

"Then prepare more salt, tea and garlic." Li Yunlong said, and he believed Li Jin's words.

"Also, sanitation must be done well. If you have to camp in one place for a few days, the soldiers must not settle near the camp.
At least 500 meters away from the camp, the excrement must be buried, and the soldiers must be prepared for other mosquito bites, otherwise it is also easy to cause diseases. "Li Jin continued.

Bacteria are easy to breed in a humid environment. If sanitation management is not done well, it is easy to cause infectious diseases. At that time, the devils will not catch them, but will be wiped out by the disease group.

Hearing these words, Li Yunlong was taken aback for a while. Why did he feel that Li Jin seemed to understand these things very well, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Have you heard what Li Jin said? When the time comes, pass down the order to let the soldiers do what Li Jin said." Li Yunlong said.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded.

"Now that the preparations for survival are almost done, let's talk about the route forward. I plan to go all the way across the river. South,
Then from Xinyang, enter the lake. Go north and go around to the rear of the devils. Do you have any other opinions? " Li Yunlong said, he thought about it all night, and felt that this way forward was relatively safe.

"No." Everyone shook their heads.

"Okay, that's the route." Li Yunlong said.

"Head, do you want us all to go there?" Zhang Dabiao asked, if they all passed, what would happen to the base of the new regiment? !

"No, there are hundreds of people left, and several garrisons of the Shouxin First Regiment." Li Yunlong said.

He planned to keep the new recruits and three hundred veterans at the new regiment's garrison.

If all the veterans are brought there, in case the new recruits encounter devils, no one will teach them to command the battle, and the strong combat power is also a display.

"Head, who do you plan to keep at the station?" Song Qian asked, anyway, he didn't want to stay.

"Then stay, Second Battalion..." Before Li Yunlong finished speaking, the Second Battalion Commander became anxious.

"No, regiment commander, I want to fight with you too, don't keep me!" The second battalion commander said, how could he go to Wuhan without him, and if he stayed in the base area, he could only train soldiers.
