Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 270: It’s not okay to make a scarecrow, it’s too easy to be exposed! 3-word chapter!

"Lao Zhao, we have to quickly organize people to move the good stuff back from the enemy camp. We destroyed a lot of good stuff from the enemy camp last night, and tonight should be no exception!"

"We have consumed too much ammunition these days. If the college students hadn't obtained a division's worth of weapons and equipment, we would not have been able to defend our base at all. With this batch of ammunition from the Japanese as a supplement, we will have a lot more ammunition on hand. I'm not worried about the problem of guns at all now. We have plenty of guns. When the brigade commander comes next time, I decided to take out a batch of them, just to make him happy!" Li Yunlong said with a smile.

Zhao Gang knew that Li Yunlong was full of bad intentions. He had taken the initiative to hand over his weapons this time. He must have had some bad intentions. He reminded him worriedly, "Old Li, don't try to play tricks in front of the brigade commander. With your guts, you'll be like a mouse seeing a cat in front of the brigade commander. You might even end up shooting yourself in the foot. You'd better take it easy on this matter!"

"Now that I have finally recovered, I am going to take a platoon of soldiers to the enemy camp to take a look. I will leave the task of organizing the civilians to you. You have the experience you gained yesterday, so you will definitely do better than me in this regard!"

"I have to take people to check it out quickly, to prevent any Japanese soldiers who have escaped and destroyed the things in the Japanese camp! It's really hot today, and it's estimated that it will rain again in the next few days. We have to prepare for rain in advance and transfer the Japanese's supplies as soon as possible!"

Li Yunlong also stood up from the ground, scooped a large bowl of mung bean soup from the tin bucket, gulped it down in one breath, burped, and said cheerfully: "Old Zhao, be careful, the monk will stay with you to protect your safety, I will organize the people in the base to help us move the things in the devil's camp, and we must empty the devil's camp before dawn."

Li Yunlong was halfway through his words when he remembered that he had forgotten something very important. He immediately went to the headquarters and tried the phone to see if it was working. He called the Xiaoyunling position directly. Lin Zhenhua, who had been waiting for a long time, picked up the phone immediately after hearing it ring. He asked anxiously, "Hello, how is the Xiaobaozhuang position? Have the reinforcements from the regiment commander arrived?"

Li Yunlong's voice rang out from the microphone: "College student, I am Li Yunlong. We have completely wiped out the Japanese in front of us and defended the Xiaobaozhuang position. I was really exhausted just now. I just recovered and called you to report that I am safe. Lao Zhao and I are preparing to vacate the Japanese camp opposite. The situation here is very good. Tell Lao Ding and Lao Kong not to worry! The Japanese and puppet troops who attacked this time were all wiped out by us. I estimate that there will be no more wars in the next few days. We can take this time to have a good rest!"

Lin Zhenhua replied excitedly: "That's great, we finally managed to hold the base, but just in case, we still have to send troops to guard, so that we can sleep well at night! Tomorrow I will arrange for the arsenal to send cement and steel bars. Taking this opportunity, we will renovate the Xiaobaozhuang position and transform it into a fortress that will never fall!"

"We should take this opportunity to relocate all the people in Xiaobao Village as soon as possible. It is too dangerous there. With our current strength, there is no way to guarantee the safety of all the people in Xiaobao Village!"

Li Yunlong's voice came from the microphone: "College student, I will stay in Xiaobaozhuang for a few days, and you will be in charge of the Xiaoyunling position. We will meet again in a few days."

Lin Zhenhua said okay and hung up the phone. He told Ding Wei and Kong Jie the news that the Xiaobaozhuang position had been defended. The two were very happy to hear the news, but Lin Zhenhua's return to the arsenal had to be delayed.

"Lao Ding, Lao Kong, I really can't spare the time this time. I'll call the arsenal in a minute and ask them to increase the production of cement and steel bars. I'll go back to the arsenal in the evening and smelt another batch of armored steel to make the turrets."

"Let's redistribute the tasks among the three of us. Old Ding, you will be responsible for cleaning up the damaged fortifications on the battlefield. Old Kong, you will be responsible for the transportation of materials. I will be responsible for the construction of the tunnel fortifications. When Old Li comes back, I will hand over the affairs in my hands to him. Now that it is not completely dark, let's deploy the artillery first, so that the battlefield will be safer!"

Under Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, 12 105mm heavy howitzers, 24 75mm mountain guns, 12 Type 12 infantry guns, 60 24mm mortars, and 81 mm mortars were deployed in high and low combinations on the positions. As long as the Japanese dared to come, they would definitely be given a good beating.

"Lao Ding, Lao Kong, I have adjusted all the muzzles. Once we encounter an enemy attack, the soldiers only need to load the shells and pull the wires. It only takes half an hour of emergency training to cover the incoming enemy with artillery fire!"

Compared to the somewhat idle Xiaoyunling position, the Xiaobaozhuang position was unusually busy. With the help of tens of thousands of civilians, they began to empty the enemy camp. It was not until 3:30 in the morning that all the supplies left by the enemy were emptied. When the villagers returned, Zhao Gang distributed five kilograms of flour or five kilograms of rice to each of them. If it was not enough, he would use canned food instead.

"Old Zhao, I really didn't expect that the Japs would bring here the supplies they raided the countryside. There are quite a lot of odds and ends, many of which we can use. The damn Japs are so damn inhuman that they even robbed needles and thread from ordinary people's homes. These damn bastards are even more cruel than the bandits!" Li Yunlong cursed.

Zhao Gang did not expect the Japanese to be so shameless. He angrily cursed: "The Japanese are really the worst. They rob food whenever they see it, and even the chickens and ducks in the homes of ordinary people. We got more than 200 chickens and ducks, six oxen, 12 pigs, and 36 sheep from the Japanese camp, not to mention the ones eaten by the Japanese. This shows how much harm the Japanese have done to ordinary people!"

"Old Li, I have already talked to the head of Xiaobao Village. The villagers are willing to relocate. We must quickly find a suitable place for them to settle down. I will be responsible for this matter personally. You are the only one responsible for the affairs of Xiaobao Village. Let Zhang Dabiao be your deputy, and I will be responsible for the logistics. We must build Xiaobao Village into a fortress that will never fall!"

"The Japanese have suffered such a great loss this time, they will definitely not give up, the next revenge will be even more fierce, they may really send a field division to attack our independent regiment, we must prepare for the next war from now on!"

Li Yunlong also agreed and replied: "Old Zhao, I have the same idea as you. The Japs and puppet troops were wiped out by our independent regiment with more than 20,000 people. They will never accept defeat. The force mobilized in the next attack will be even greater! To be honest, if we hadn't launched a night attack and hit the Japs' poison gas bombs, and if we hadn't encountered the Japs commander's blind command and forced the puppet troops to rebel, it would have been impossible for us to hold the Xiaoyunling position!"

Zhao Gang knew that what Li Yunlong said was the truth, and he was relieved to see that Li Yunlong was not blinded by victory. This battle was very dangerous and almost lost. In addition to this, there was another thing that made Zhao Gang very worried.

"Old Li, we have suffered too much loss of troops this time. Including the wounded, there are less than 2,000 soldiers left, and half of them are wounded. Once the Japanese come to their senses and send troops to attack our independent regiment again, we will not be able to withstand it with our current strength! I think the only thing we can do now is to play the empty city plan, select some young and strong people from the civilians, let them wear the soldiers' clothes, so as to deceive the Japanese reconnaissance planes and buy more time for Deputy Regiment Commander Xing to return!"

Li Yunlong slammed his fist on the table and said excitedly: "Old Zhao, your idea is just in time. Since yesterday, I have been worried about the lack of troops. Now we can't even gather enough defensive troops on the position, so we can only play a trick with the Japanese!"

"Previously, college students had the arsenal produce some fake enemy trucks and cannons, which can be put to use this time. As long as we deploy more fake cars and cannons on the battlefield, we can definitely deceive the eyes of the enemy pilots! Making scarecrows will definitely not work, but placing some dummies in the battlefield will definitely have an unexpected effect! As for letting the people wear our clothes, let's talk about it later. After all, there are still hidden enemy spies in our independent regiment's base, and we didn't clear them out last time. It's better to be more careful!"

Zhao Gang replied solemnly, "Old Li, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about this matter! After the situation stabilizes, we will have to carry out counterintelligence work and get rid of the traitors as soon as possible. Zhu Ziming knows many secrets of our independent regiment and even infiltrated the arsenal. I guess all the military technology used by college students has been handed over to the devils by him."

Actually, Zhao Gang really wronged Zhu Ziming in this matter. Zhu Ziming did not hand over all the technologies he had discovered to the Japanese. Instead, he adopted the method of squeezing toothpaste, squeezing it out little by little. This made his life prosperous. Even Hirata Kojiro could not do anything to him. More importantly, Zhu Ziming has completed a new transformation. When dealing with the Japanese, he is no longer timid as before, but pretends to be a big shot!

However, the Japanese have already come up with a countermeasure. They are gradually figuring out the intelligence lines that Zhu Ziming has established within the independent regiment. Once they get all the military technologies controlled by Zhu Ziming, they will kill him directly.

"Old Zhao, I will never let Zhu Ziming, the traitor, go. If I hadn't been held back these days, I would have taken people to Ping'an County and killed this guy! I will never make a fool of myself in this matter. Our independent regiment is now in the most dangerous moment. I will not cause trouble for you at this time. We will wait until the independent regiment recovers its strength before we do anything else!"
