PFC Chapter 352: Heading North for Support
Chapter 352: Heading North for Support
Wang Dafu arranged a company of brothers and brought a radio to send the wounded brothers to the revolutionary base.
In addition to the allowance for the wounded, Wang Dafu took out a suitcase and put 60 US dollars in it for the company commander Wang Xiaolou.
Wang Xiaolou and his brothers set off overnight. The brothers all had infrared glasses, which did not affect their journey.
With the latest military maps and the best weapons and equipment, it doesn't matter if we encounter the Deep Blue government forces.
As long as they don't encounter their large army, no one can threaten the safety of their brothers.
Before leaving, the brigade commander gave him specific instructions.
Although the two parties have not officially started a war yet, do not hold back if the safety of our brothers is threatened.
Of course, things must be done cleanly so as not to leave too many traces for the Deep Blue Party’s Secret Service.
The brigade commander also said that he was not afraid of the new independent brigade being exposed, but was mainly worried about disrupting the layout of his superiors.
Wang Xiaolou didn't understand, but he understood one thing: if something went wrong, there would be no problem if the New Independent Brigade was not exposed.
Every brother in the New Independent Brigade understands that it doesn’t matter if they sacrifice themselves, because the New Independent Brigade will take care of their loved ones.
Three days after Wang Xiaolou and his team left Anhui Province, Ye Minghao received orders from his superiors.
The superiors required the new independent brigade to arrange at least one regiment of troops to go north to the northeast to support the brother troops.
A regiment has at least 1200 people, while a regiment of the new independent brigade has more than 1500 people.
The casualties are severe now, but they still have 1500 soldiers in one regiment.
Ding Sanwa spoke first:
"Brigade Commander, can I lead three battalions north?"
Ye Minghao waved his hand and said:
"I will personally lead three battalions there. You guys take care of the other brothers. I'm sure the superiors will have other arrangements."
Liang Jiahe interrupted:
"Brigade Commander, the superiors are asking for manpower, and our new independent brigade's warfare method is generally based on battalions.
We never go into battle as a regiment. I mean to send three battalions north to provide support.
The brigade headquarters assigned telecommunications personnel to each of the three battalions to coordinate operations and report to the brigade headquarters in a timely manner.
Wang Dafu continued:
"Brigade Commander, I think Lao Liang's idea is good. You are the brigade commander now, and you can't always be at the forefront.
If the military district leaders find out, I'm afraid all three of us will be punished."
Ding Sanwa said:
"Brigade Commander, what Lao Wang said makes sense. Let's arrange for the three battalion commanders to lead their troops north!
The New Independent Brigade is the spearhead, and our superiors will not allow our brothers in the New Independent Brigade to directly launch a surprise attack on the Deep Blue government forces."
Liangjiahe said again:
“Brigade Commander, I’ve been thinking these days that I’m afraid many people in the Deep Blue government army don’t want to fight a civil war.
In fact, there are also brothers in the New Independence Brigade who do not want to fight a civil war, but the conflicts between the two parties must be resolved.
Solving a problem does not necessarily require killing the other party, you can also make the other party surrender in despair.
The New Independent Brigade is too powerful, so it's not a good idea to kill them directly. I think it's more appropriate to blow up the enemy's ammunition depot."
The three men took turns persuading their brigade commander.
Ye Minghao thought for a moment and said:
"I'm afraid Lao Liang's view is consistent with that of the military district leaders. The best strategy is to defeat the enemy without fighting.
Another point is that the new independent brigade will probably have to do it if there is no requirement from the superiors and there are no other tasks.
I personally believe that the brothers of the new independent brigade should take the initiative to find a way to take down the enemy's headquarters."
Liangjiahe Channel:
"Brigade Commander, isn't this too cruel? It might kill many of our enemies."
Wang Dafu took over and said:
"Lao Liang, war is not a dinner party. Taking down the enemy's headquarters can quickly end the battle.
It will also reduce casualties on the front lines of both sides, and it will achieve victory at the lowest cost."
Ding Sanwa said:
"Lao Liang, when we were fighting against the Japanese invaders, our Communist New Fourth Army treated the Deep Blue government troops as our compatriots.
But have you forgotten what they did in southern Anhui?"
Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Ye Minghao quickly said:
"Now that we have this understanding, select three battalions to head north according to your idea and set out tonight.
Lao Ding, go select three battalions and call the three battalion commanders to come to me.
This time I went to see my third brother, who gave me some goodies, and I asked the three battalions to take them with them."
Liang Jiahe, Wang Dafu and Ding Sanwa were a little excited. They didn't know what good stuff the brigade commander had brought.
Ding Sanwa was impatient and asked quickly:
"Brigade Commander, what is this powerful weapon? Can you let the three of us see it first?"
"Originally I thought it might not be necessary, but we were just talking about quietly taking down the enemy headquarters.
I just remembered this baby."
Ye Minghao's words aroused the tempers of the three people.
Ding Sanwa was the most curious.
"Commander, please speak quickly."
"Old Ding, you're so impatient. Okay, listen carefully, this treasure is a smoke bomb.
You all know that the Japanese warships were bombed, right? "
The three people nodded. Of course they knew. They always thought that the special forces team was very powerful.
Even the Japanese warships can be bombed, so it would be difficult for the New Independent Brigade to do so. Ye Minghao continued:
"My third brother said that the special forces team sent highly skilled special forces soldiers to sneak onto the warship in the dark of night.
Then use a smoke bomb to stun the Japanese devils in the warship's cabin.
Then break the devil's neck, and then slowly place four or five high explosives, and that's it."
Ding Sanwa couldn't help but ask:
"How long does it take for a smoke bomb thrown into a cabin to knock out everyone in it?
Five minutes is enough. To be safe, you usually wait ten minutes before taking action. You must take the antidote in advance when entering.
Otherwise, you may never wake up.”
The three of Liang Jiahe were shocked. They didn't expect the intoxicating smoke bomb to be so powerful.
This is indeed a killer weapon.
If one is dropped on the enemy's headquarters at night, the enemy can be eliminated without bloodshed.
Wang Dafu asked:
"Brigade Commander, how many of these powerful weapons do you have?"
“There are ten in total, stored in two suitcases. They were asked to carry five of them on their trip north.
I hope to use these five intoxicating smoke bombs to destroy the enemy's five headquarters and capture the enemy's commander alive.
That way there would be far fewer casualties on both sides.”
Ding Sanwa was extremely excited. The brigade commander's brother was really thoughtful.
It seems that there are not many of these powerful weapons, otherwise the special forces team would not have refused to give them one.
I think such a powerful weapon must be expensive, and you may not be able to buy it even if you have money.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Shijie, Zhang Deming and Chen Dali came to Ye Minghao's office together.
"Report, Li Shijie has arrived."
"Report, Zhang Deming has arrived."
"Report, Chen Dali is here."
Ye Minghao stood up from his chair and said:
"You three should know why you are here, right?"
Li Shijie spoke first and replied:
"Reporting to the Brigade Commander, Commander Ding has already told the three of us that the brothers from our three battalions have assembled."
"Very good! This time, your three battalions will head north. The weather in the north is still good.
But after October, the weather will be very cold, and I guess you haven't experienced that kind of cold.
The lowest temperature in northern Anhui Province is estimated to be around minus ten degrees Celsius, while the lowest temperature in the three northeastern provinces is minus forty degrees Celsius.
You must be mentally prepared and plan ahead for everything so that you won't panic when something happens.
I don’t know now how long the superiors will need the new independent brigade to support the north.
This time, you three battalions should bring more money so that they won't be too scattered after you find a temporary base."
"Thank you, Brigadier General. We'll make a note of it."
Zhang Deming replied.
Ye Minghao continued:
“When buying winter clothes to keep warm, listen to the advice of local people.
In addition, if you are short of money, please send a telegram back to the brigade headquarters in advance, and I will find a way to send the money to you."
Chen Dali continued:
"Brigade Commander, don't worry about this. When we were at the Wanling training base, the instructor told us to resupply on site.
Their targets at the time were landlords and bullies, while the New Independence Brigade can target capitalists who have defected to the Deep Blue government.”
Zhang Deming gave Chen Dali a thumbs up. He admired Chen Dali's brain and thought this was a good idea.
Ye Minghao looked at Chen Dali for three seconds.
"Alright! Unless you find these people have a bad record, try not to kill them."
Li Shijie, Chen Dali and Zhang Deming looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths unconsciously rose.
The three of them did not expect that the brigade commander would agree to their suggestion so readily, which was beyond their expectations.
As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water. Ye Minghao naturally understood this principle.
The three men understood what the brigade commander meant. They were not a special forces squad and were not bound by any rules or regulations.
After all, the New Independent Brigade is a team organized by the Communist Party, and the discipline of the party organization must be observed.
This time, it was Li Shijie who took over.
"Commander, the three of us understand this discipline. We won't kill people unless they are extremely evil."
Ye Minghao nodded and said:
"The New Independent Brigade is a communist-organized team and must abide by the party's rules and regulations.
Have you seen this suitcase?"
The three of them nodded unconsciously.
Ye Minghao continued:
"The box contains five intoxicating smoke bombs and two bottles of antidote. Let me explain to you."
After saying that, Ye Minghao opened the suitcase.
"This is the safety pin of the intoxicating smoke bomb. Its structure is similar to that of a grenade. You can just pull out the safety pin and throw it.
You must put an antidote in your mouth before removing the needle, so as not to end up knocking yourself out."
The three people were listening intently, and no one responded. Ye Minghao continued:
"Once the intoxicating smoke bomb is thrown, it will make people within a radius of 100 meters unconscious.
The more sealed the environment, the better the effect. If you are outdoors, you can reduce the effective range of the drowsy smoke bomb by half.
To be on the safe side, keep your distance within a radius of 25 meters. When outdoors, you must stand upwind.
It can make people unconscious in just five minutes, and they can’t be woken up even if they are called out. If they inhale too much, they may never wake up again.”
After hearing this, the three people were so surprised that their mouths opened.
Ye Minghao continued to explain the details to the three battalion commanders, and the three of them nodded continuously to show that they understood.
