Liang Jian: Commander, save some for me

"Look, let me just tell you that the battle will end just in time." Li Yunlong raised his hand and glanced at his watch. It was only 10:[-], which was still [-] minutes early than the [-] minutes Li Jin said.

"Well, that's true." Zhao Gang nodded. He had seen the combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion. It was so strong that it could overwhelm the Japanese.

No wonder the brigade commander would transfer the special operations battalion from the New Regiment. Such a unit cannot always be commanded by the New Regiment.

However, in this battle, the soldiers of the new regiment are also very good, and their combat effectiveness is stronger than those of the so-called ace troops of the national army.

Li Yunlong smiled. He knew that Zhao Gang had been shocked by the combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion.

Zhao Gang estimated that he would never doubt the combat effectiveness of the special operations battalion in the future. There was nothing more convincing than seeing it with his own eyes.

Several people walked into the mine, and the ground was covered with the corpses of Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers.

"Regiment leader, political commissar." Song Yi quickly stepped forward to say hello after seeing them coming.

"Well, hurry up and clean up the battlefield. It's almost time for us to retreat with the people." Li Yunlong nodded and said.

Their mission was accomplished, now it was up to others.

At this time, Lu Changgong also led people to open the door for the people who were locked in the cave.

"Don't be afraid, we are the Eighth Route Army and we are here to save you!" This was the first thing Lu Changgong said when he came over.

The people inside were very happy. They didn't expect that the Eighth Route Army would actually come to rescue them.

The iron door was locked with a lock. Lu Changgong wanted to shoot and break the lock, but he was worried that the bullet might accidentally injure people.

Lu Changgong raised his gun and hit the lock hard with the butt of the gun. After a few hits, the lock broke and he opened the door.

"Come out, everyone. We will take you away in a moment." Lu Changgong said.

"thank you all."

"thank you all."

Many people thanked Lu Changgong and the others when they came out, and some even cried with joy because they could finally go home.

Four to five thousand people came out of several caves, breathing in the fresh air outside. Although the air was mixed with the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood, it was still better than the caves.

Besides, the smell of blood came from the Japs. Looking at the Japs on the ground, they didn't feel sick at all, but felt happy.

"Damn it, you damn Japs, you're going to arrest me!" Someone even stepped forward and kicked the Japs' corpse.

Li Yunlong also came over at this time.

"How about it, no civilians were injured, right?!" Li Yunlong saw the fallen bodies in the cave and realized that the Japanese were just as Li Jin said, and would jump over the wall to capture the civilians.

"No, this devil probably wanted to arrest people and threaten us to delay the attack, but I saw through it," Lu Changgong said.

Fortunately, he reacted in time, otherwise, if the Japanese succeeded, the battalion commander would have to kill him.

"Well done!" Li Yunlong patted Lu Changgong on the shoulder.

"Captain, we found a lot of cans and grain in the warehouse over there." A soldier came over to report.

"It's better to distribute the food to the people and let them eat on the road, otherwise I'm afraid they will faint on the road." Zhao Gang suggested. He saw that many of these people were malnourished and skinny. If the wind was stronger, it might be bad. It can blow down a piece.

With a body like this, if you rush without eating enough, you may faint on the way.

"Well, what you said makes sense. Come here, bring all the cans out, and let the people gather and distribute the cans." Li Yunlong agreed with Zhao Gang's opinion and immediately gave the order.

Soon, all the cans in the warehouse were moved out by the soldiers, and the people were gathered together.

However, when the cans were being distributed, some people couldn't wait for fear that they wouldn't be able to get their share, so they stepped forward to grab them. When someone grabbed them, others couldn't help but stepped forward to grab them.

Song Yi was accidentally pushed by several people and hit his forehead on a stone, which caused him to bleed immediately.

"Don't rob, don't rob, everyone has a share!" Zhao Gang wanted to maintain order, but the people didn't listen to him at all.

Li Yunlong's face turned dark when he saw this, he took out the pistol from his waist, loaded it, and fired two shots into the air.

Boom!

Two gunshots rang out, and the frightened people who were looting subconsciously lay down and did not dare to move.

Zhao Gang was also startled and turned to look at Li Yunlong.

"Damn it, let's see who dares to rob it!" Li Yunlong cursed loudly.

"Those who robbed things should put their things back for me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Li Yunlong stared at the people who were grabbing things and said with anger in his voice.

Those people who grabbed the cans could only put the cans back tremblingly.

"Everyone lined up for me. If you dare to grab something, don't fucking eat it!" Li Yunlong's eyes widened and he scolded.

The people did not dare to move and lined up quietly.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. The leader is thinking about you, so that no one will not be able to get food, and he is even more afraid that you will hurt yourselves during the robbery." Zhao Gang said quickly to the people.

Li Yunlong's shooting in front of the people would have a huge impact. If word spread, he might be discredited.

But Zhao Gang also understood that in the situation just now, if Li Yunlong did not fire a warning shot, someone might really be trampled to death during the looting.

The people nodded and did not blame Li Yunlong for shooting to warn them. It was indeed their fault.

If it hadn't been for the two shots fired by Li Yunlong, some of them might have been trampled to death by their own people. That would be the saddest thing. Instead of dying in the hands of the Japanese, they would have died in the hands of their own people.

"Song Yi, are you okay?" Li Yunlong walked towards Song Yi and expressed concern.

Song Yi was not injured in the battle, but was injured by the common people. Can Li Yunlong not be angry?

"Captain, I'm fine, but you can easily get into trouble if you fire a gun in front of the people." Song Yi didn't care about his injuries, but was worried that Li Yunlong would get into trouble.

"It's okay. I've made a lot of mistakes. The worst that can happen is that the brigade commander will punish me!" Li Yunlong didn't care. He made a lot of mistakes, so this doesn't matter.

Besides, it was just a shot fired, not at the people. Even if the brigade commander knew about it, he would not blame him. Instead, he should be praised for handling the matter calmly.

Soon, all the people present were given cans.

"Captain, I have arranged explosives in the mine and can be lit at any time." Lu Changgong came to Li Yunlong and said.

Blowing up these mines will also cause a lot of trouble for the Japanese's subsequent development.

"Retreat!" After hearing this, Li Yunlong immediately ordered the soldiers to retreat with the people, while Lu Changgong stayed with a few soldiers and lit the fuse.

boom boom boom......

A huge explosion came from the mine, the ground was shaking, and huge plumes of smoke came out of several mine caves, covering the entire mine.

"Ahem, shit, the lead is a bit short." Lu Changgong led a few soldiers out of the mine from the smoke, coughing continuously.

The leads they arranged were slightly short and they did not have time to escape from the mine and be affected by the smoke. "It's not a big problem. At any rate, the mine collapsed. The Japs are trying to dig out, so they have to work harder." said the soldier next to him.

"Well, let's go meet the group leader." Lu Changgong nodded and quickly led people to chase Li Yunlong.

…………

On the mountain road, Li Yunlong was walking in front of the team.

"Captain, you were too impulsive just now. You shouldn't have fired warning shots at the people. This is very bad and can easily make the people afraid of us." Zhao Gang came to Li Yunlong and said. Fortunately, the people also realized their problem.

"I said, Lao Zhao, if I hadn't fired a warning shot, someone among the people would have died due to the stampede. Is this responsibility yours or mine?" Li Yunlong said.

Although he was angry enough to fire a warning shot, he was not a fool. Those people had not had enough to eat for a long time and their mental state was not right. If he did not fire a warning shot, there might be more serious consequences.

"This... I know, I just want to say, don't be so impulsive in the future. The soldiers present can still stop the people and avoid firing warning shots." Zhao Gang said.

At that time, he wanted soldiers to stop the looting people, but he didn't expect Li Yunlong to be the first to fire a warning shot.

"Okay, okay, my problem, my problem." Li Yunlong was too lazy to argue and continued walking forward.

Zhao Gang sighed when he saw this. It was really hard to be a political commissar, especially for Li Yunlong. How could this man be like a donkey? He was really stubborn.

"Political Commissar Zhao, don't be angry. This is the temper of the regiment leader. Don't talk about you. Sometimes this guy can get angry at us, but he is not a bad person. You can bear with him a little.
Don't tell the brigade commander about him firing a warning shot, otherwise the regiment commander will definitely be beaten. You sir have a lot, so don't argue with him. "Consultant Zhong stepped forward and said.

"My problem is, you shouldn't talk to the group leader in that preaching tone." Zhao Gang said. It's not that Li Yunlong couldn't listen, but he didn't like him speaking in a preaching tone.

"I didn't expect you to realize this not long after you arrived." Deputy Captain Qian couldn't help but say.

Sometimes, it's not that Li Yunlong can't listen to what others say, it's just that he hates other people's preaching tone.

Li Yunlong has been in the army for so many years, and the one he fears most is the brigade commander. The brigade commander's preaching to him is fine, but others say that he is being polite even if he doesn't curse.

"I won't tell the brigade commander about this. Besides, I didn't think carefully enough. Although the regiment commander made something wrong, it was the right decision." Zhao Gang said.

He thought things were a bit simple. When he asked the soldiers to stop the people, there might be casualties.

After all, the bodies of those people were very weak and could not withstand the trampling.

Li Yunlong decisively fired a warning shot, which actually avoided such an accident.

"Political Commissar, you..." Staff Officer Zhong felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Zhao Gang admitting his mistake. He thought that scholars were stubborn, but he didn't expect that Zhao Gang was not.

"What's wrong?! Is there any problem?!" Zhao Gang wondered why the two of them felt strange.

"No, it's okay." Staff Officer Zhong shook his head.

When Zhao Gang saw this, he didn't think much about it. He caught up with Li Yunlong, apologized to Li Yunlong, and said what he had not considered.

"It's okay, it's a small matter. I make my own decisions when doing things. When you can reach my level, you will be a qualified commander." Li Yunlong looked like a villain who has succeeded.

He thought it was his problem just now, but Zhao Gang came up with a reason for him. Yes, that's what he thought.

Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong and felt that something was wrong.

.........

On a hillside five miles away from the mine, Zhao Ming led his men and soldiers from the second battalion to ambush on both sides of the hillside.

They had laid mines on the road and were waiting for the Japanese from the railway supply depot to come.

"It's almost one o'clock." Zhao Ming glanced at his watch. It was still two or three minutes before one o'clock.

"Captain and the others should take action," said the commander of the third battalion next to him.

"Yes." Zhao Ming nodded. As for whether the Beishan Mine could be defeated, he didn't think about it at all, because he knew without thinking that it would definitely be defeated.

It's just a matter of time, but with the reconnaissance company, the sharpshooting company, and another company, it's easy to take down only [-] Japs guarding the mine.

When the time came to one o'clock, faint and dense gunshots were faintly heard from the direction of Beishan Mine.

Not long after, a clear explosion came from the Beishan Mine.

"The fighting was quite intense," said the third battalion commander. He felt a little itchy and really wanted to go over and see what was going on.

.........

One o'clock in the morning.

In the railway supply depot, the phone rang.

A Japanese soldier answered the phone.

"Moses Moses, this is the railway supply station near Yuanhe Bridge." The Japanese soldier said.

"I am a communications soldier at Beishan Mine. Now the mine is under fierce attack by the enemy. We need all of you to come and support!" A voice came from the phone, accompanied by bursts of intense gunfire.

"Nani?! How many enemies are there?!" the Japanese soldier asked quickly after hearing this.

"There are no less than three to four thousand people. Please inform the commander immediately. I don't have time to talk to you." After the other end of the phone finished speaking, he hung up and a busy signal came.

The Japanese soldier didn't have time to think too much, and immediately ran to the captain's room and slapped the door excitedly.

"Captain is not good, something happened!!!"

The banging on the door was so loud that it not only woke up the Japanese captain, but also woke up the Japanese in other dormitories.

"Baga!!! Why are you making such noise in the middle of the night!!!" The roaring voice of a Japanese prisoner came from the dormitory next door.

card!
The door was opened. The Japanese captain was wearing a white shirt and his eyes were bloodshot.

"What happened?!" The Japanese captain's voice was full of anger and his eyes were scary. If the matter was not as serious as he thought, he would hit someone.

Anyone who is woken up from a deep sleep will get angry.

"Captain Beishan Mine just called, saying that the mine was attacked by the enemy and there were a lot of people!" The Japanese soldier swallowed and quickly told the story.

"Nani?! Beishan Mine was attacked by the enemy?! Are you hallucinating from opium?" Captain Japanese didn't believe it.

There is no enemy activity at all at the location of the Beishan Mine. If there were, how could they not know about it? However, the soldier's condition didn't look like he was smoking opium.

"Captain, I didn't smoke. It's true. I just answered the phone and heard heavy gunfire from the phone." The Japanese soldiers were helpless. Who smoked opium?

The Japanese captain frowned and said, "You are making a phone call to confirm. Forget it, I will go in person."

He still didn't believe that the Beishan Mine would be attacked.
