My client Li Yunlong

Chapter 149 Li Yunlong: Haha, I really fucking want to thank you kid!

"The devils are coming in!"

Yang Village.

The correspondent reported the frontline investigation situation to Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong.

“Have all villages completed their efforts to strengthen their walls and clear their fields?”

Li Yunlong asked again.

"Including Yangcun, everything has been completed."

The regimental staff officer replied.

Later, the staff officer asked:

"Captain, the Chief of Staff asked you if you want to blow up the warehouse behind Yangcun."

After Li Yunlong arrived, in order to store a large amount of materials and avoid huge material losses due to Japanese bombing, the Independent Regiment built a large number of warehouses around Yangcun.

At that time, there was not much wood around, so they were mainly cave-style warehouse structures.

The largest warehouse is the one on the cliff behind Yang Village. After several months of expansion, it can accommodate nearly 3,000 tons of various materials.

Of course, it's now empty.

"No need to waste explosives."

"Maybe the Japanese will blow it up for us."

Li Yunlong waved his hand.

Although cave-style warehouses are safe, they have limited capacity, serious terrain restrictions, cannot be expanded in scale, are inefficient in storing and retrieving materials, and are prone to moisture and other disadvantages.

Although the ammunition and weapons produced by Brother Lu are well packaged and not susceptible to moisture, food cannot be protected from moisture.

So in the future he plans to build reinforced concrete warehouses.

Among the special supplies list is reinforced concrete.

Warehouses made of thick reinforced concrete are directly covered with one meter thick and then covered with a layer of soil. They are waterproof and moisture-proof, can ignore Japanese bombings, and are convenient for managing and retrieving supplies.

Isn't it much better than a cellar-style warehouse?

Even if this thing is placed in an open space, it is not afraid of Japanese bombing.

"Yes."

The staff officer immediately went to convey the news.

···

"What is this going to do?"

Behind Yangcun.

An open space.

Xu Lin, a technician who came from Xinhua News Agency and was responsible for the establishment of the printing press in the Taiyue base area, was a little confused when he saw the soldiers of the Independence Regiment standing in front of him burying their obsolete printing equipment.

The Japanese are coming to raid, so burying equipment is a normal procedure.

But isn’t this location a bit unreasonable?

How could it be buried on a flat training ground? There is no turf here and the terrain is flat. It is difficult to hide the traces of new soil and it is easy for the Japanese to find it.

There is a truth.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

However, when the Japs come to raid with a division, they will inevitably conduct a detailed search around Yangcun. The Japs also know that the troops are accustomed to burying equipment, so they will inevitably dig three feet into the ground.

But the little devil will never let go of this kind of flat and open terrain.

Some of the old newsprint, low-quality paper, and a large amount of watered-down ink were even buried.

What happened next was even more outrageous and even more difficult for Xu Lin to understand.

"This is the commander's order."

"He asked it to be buried here."

The soldier in charge of the burial made Xu Lin not express his doubts with just one word.

Since the order was given by Commander Li himself, it naturally makes sense.

But this doubt still lingers, and I subconsciously speculate.

In fact, from the beginning, Captain Li felt strange that he wanted this printing press.

This equipment is very old, often breaks down, and its operating efficiency is low. The new printing equipment in the Taihang Base can actually meet the needs of the Taiyue Taihang Base.

Why do you have to transport it?

And they were in such a hurry to transport it, even though the Japanese raids were already approaching the base area, and they only asked him to have one technician come over, and he had never turned it on.

But no matter how confused he was, Xu Lin could only keep his head in confusion.

····

at the same time.

"Report."

"The reconnaissance squadron has arrived at the Xiazhuang stronghold."

"They were not harassed by enemies along the way, including mine attacks, and no ambush positions on Tubal Road were discovered."

When he received this telegram, Sandaozhenfu frowned deeply.

After 'capturing' Liao County and Yu County, he asked the First Army Headquarters to send planes to conduct reconnaissance for a day, but no obvious abnormalities were found.

The next day, seeing that the weather was good, he took his troops and divided them into two groups. They marched along the road to Yangcun, passed the Xiazhuang stronghold, passed Shangcun, and then arrived at Yangcun.

The whole route started from Yu County, followed the Baijin Railway, went deep into the hinterland, and wiped out the surrounding Eighth Route Army forces, and finally met at Yangcu, and then carried out in-depth raids.

But no matter which route it takes, it passes through dense mountainous areas with complex terrain. Tubal Road is equipped with a large number of mortars with high mobility and long range, making it very suitable for launching small-scale attacks.

There are also plenty of shells.

Totally invincible.

But we have to go into mountainous areas.

Sando Zhenfu and the staff formulated a detailed investigation and response plan, and dispersed the entire cavalry regiment as a fast mobile force to clear out the small groups of attacking troops driving away from the Tubal Road at any time.

But unexpectedly, throughout the whole day, neither the front-line reconnaissance troops nor the rear troops suffered any attacks.

even,

Not even a single landmine was found.

"What do Tubalu want to do?"

The three true husbands are puzzled.

It has an ultra-light, long-range, and accurate mortar that actually does not launch an intrusive attack.

In fact, he had done well and accepted the huge casualties caused by the continuous small-scale attacks.

As a result, Tubalu didn't come.

What are they thinking?

Sandao Zhenfu doesn't think that the Eighth Route Army has no artillery shells!

During the five days when Liao County and Yu County blocked his attacking troops, Tuba Road's artillery shells were enough.

"Where are the surrounding villages?"

Sandaozhenfu continued to ask.

"No one was found, all the people were moved, including food and property, livestock, just empty houses and fields."

"Order the reconnaissance force."

"Continue to the upper village."

Narrowing his eyes, the three true husbands spit out the order:

"March slowly, pay attention to strengthen the vigilance, and destroy the houses in all surrounding villages, as well as all... fields."

"field?"

The staff officer was stunned.

According to information from the First Army Headquarters, after excluding the surrounding areas of Liao County and Yu County, the cultivated land area under the control of Tubal Road in Taiyue Mountain is approximately 2.3 million acres.

If they were all destroyed, the workload would be quite large.

"Yes, fields!"

"Destroy them all."

Sandaozhenfu's tone was gloomy.

Although he didn't know what the conspiracy was on Tubal Road, it was now July, four months before the autumn harvest, and the fields were almost full of new seedlings.

As long as the entire field of food is destroyed, there will be no time to make amends. More than two million acres of food will be lost. He would like to see how Tubal Road solves the problem of hunger.

Take a look at how this so-called army of common people can cope with the famine of the common people!

"Let the Imperial Army and the police also participate in destroying the fields."

"Be sure to destroy all fields."

"Not a single wheat seedling or a grain of grain can be left to Tubal Road."

"Not a single house can be left behind."

Sandao Zhenfu knew that this destruction required a lot of manpower, so he brought more than 6,000 puppet troops and guards.

Including the locust army of his division, the total strength exceeds 30,000, and the logistics are sufficient to support his activities in the Taiyue Mountains for half a month. This is why he dared to issue such an order.

"Hi!" The staff officer went to execute it immediately.

···

"Damn it."

"You little devil, you are not giving me a way to survive!"

Go to the village.

Captain Jia, the former captain of Liao County, rolled up his sleeves, carried a hoe, and pulled on a piece of ground, cursing incessantly.

When the Beijing Brigade of Liao County went to the mountainous area to clean up, Captain Jia had a premonition that something was not going well and decisively found an excuse to shirk it. He did not participate in the subsequent raids by the Shandao Alliance.

So he survived successfully.

But a bunch of his men weren't so lucky.

Most of them died.

Some of them followed the Beijing Brigade into the mountains and were killed, while most of the rest followed the Shandao Regiment into the base area and were killed.

Strength is greatly reduced.

But it also brings a very unexpected benefit.

The rest of his subordinates are very obedient and basically do whatever he says.

At this time, Captain Jia was not sighing. The Japanese's plan to destroy all the fields in the base area was vicious and would kill many people. It had nothing to do with him. No matter how many people died, it was none of his business.

As long as it's not him who dies.

But unwilling to do so, the Japanese assigned only twenty of his men the task of destroying more than a thousand acres of farmland.

It was killing him.

"team leader."

"This is impossible to say!"

Someone immediately reminded the captain.

If they dare to speak against the Japanese, the locust army will kill them the next day.

"What are you afraid of?"

"Do you think the Locust Army will stare at us?"

Although Captain Jia was uncompromising and still sneered, the title was quietly changed to "Locust Army" and the movements of his hands did not stop.

Still working diligently to destroy the fields.

"If the locust army does this, Tubal Road will probably have no chance of survival."

Although his subordinates were unhappy, their tone was relaxed.

Those who can join the guard force are basically hardcore traitors who are determined to follow the Japanese, or there is no turning back.

They all hope that the locust army can destroy Tubalu, the knife hanging over their heads.

"Not always!"

Captain Jia narrowed his eyes.

Destroying more than two million acres of farmland, even if it can be completely destroyed according to the Japanese plan, the Eighth Route Army has recently poured a large amount of grain into the market.

"This···"

The subordinates did not believe it, but the captain seemed to have guessed the two times when the Locust Army suffered defeat, so that the subordinate did not dare to doubt it.

"Why do you care about these things?"

"Work hard!"

Seeing a group of Japanese soldiers coming from a distance, Captain Jia quickly warned his men.

···

"what?"

"What did you say?"

"What are the devils doing?"

Yang Village.

Niu Li'an, the militia team leader, shook his ears and felt very anxious.

As Niu Wanlin's younger brother, he is the second oldest child in the Niu family.

After Niu Wanlin killed the Chief of Staff and Deputy Chief of Staff of the Japanese First Army, the Niu family of five moved to the base area under the arrangement of the comrades in the base area.

The family of five was allotted three acres of land and a mule to plow the land. Two sisters and one brother also went to school.

Niu Li'an originally wanted to join the army.

After all, including the subsidies from my father and eldest brother, the family has two hundred kilograms of food every month.

All are made from fine grains and pork suet.

Not to mention a family of five, even a few more people would be enough to eat.

However, the family's three acres of land needed to be planted, his mother's legs and feet were not good, and he was also young, only 18 years old, so he had no choice but to follow the arrangements of the political cadres and join the militia while doing farm work at home.

After a month of training, Niu Li'an quickly stood out and showed his amazing talent. He became an excellent militia soldier and was promoted to squad leader, responsible for the investigation around Shangcun.

This time, he and several militia security groups were the first to notice that the Japanese had begun to destroy the fields on a large scale.

Digging out the seedlings, compacting the fields, and draining the water source for irrigating the fields - this means that most of the fields will have no harvest this year.

Grain production in the entire base area will be reduced by half.

The problem is huge.

but··

"The little devil is destroying the fields?"

"Sent people to destroy all the seedlings in the field?"

Niu Li'an outside the door was stunned.

Listen to the voice, it is the voice of Captain Li.

He often came to speak to the militia troops, and Niu Li'an was familiar with Commander Li's voice.

But why does his tone sound so happy?

The Japanese destroyed the fields and destroyed all the seedlings in the fields in the base area, reducing the grain output in the base area by more than half this year. Why would Commander Li be happy?

Niu Li'an was puzzled.

If it was someone else, he must be a traitor.

But this is Captain Li!

The lives of the Japanese in his hands were not a thousand, but several hundred, as well as high-ranking officials like Colonel Sakata and the Japanese Chief of Staff.

Niu Li'an at the door slowly left with doubts.

But within the regiment, not only Li Yunlong, but even political commissar Zhao Gang couldn't help but smile happily.

The little devil actually spent a lot of manpower and planned to destroy all the millions of acres of land in the entire base area - this is a great thing!

The total land that can be cultivated in the Taiyue base area, including fields in various mountains and corners, totals 2.3 million acres. If the Japanese can destroy them all.

Then, according to the contract, Brother Lu will reimburse the base area for the grain harvested from so much land in a year.

as well as!

Provide sufficient agricultural technology, including advanced seeds, chemical fertilizers, etc., and exclude agricultural experts from being responsible for restoring agricultural production.

"Command the troops."

Li Yunlong immediately ordered:

"Without orders from regiment headquarters, it is strictly forbidden to harass the Japanese."

"Also notify the brigade headquarters and ask the brigade headquarters to cooperate."

Destroyed two million and one hundred thousand acres of grain!

This is a big project.

Not to mention the little devil himself, even if he comes from the Taiyue base area, it is not a simple task. It requires mobilizing all militia soldiers to fight for half a month.

Therefore, we must not conflict with the Japanese during this period.

Let the devils feel at ease and work conscientiously.

"Let the political cadres tell all the people that after the devil's raids are over, we will compensate for all the lost food."

Zhao Gang also added.

They know that this matter is a sure profit, but the common people don't know, and they can't publicize it.

It is necessary to stabilize the hearts of the people.

"Yes."

The staff of the independent regiment headquarters immediately began to make arrangements for execution.

Finally, Li Yunlong looked at the map of the Taiyue base area on the table, and then looked at it. This time, his rampant smile had a thick and sinister tone: "Humph, let me thank you little devil this time."
