Chapter 63 Careful plan!
Zhao Gang nodded slightly, seeming to understand.
However, this kid still said with some worry: "Is everything going to be really okay?"
Li Yunlong smiled and said: "Even if something happens, I will be responsible for it? What are you afraid of?"
Zhao Gang said quickly: "I didn't mean that. You are the regiment leader and I am the political commissar. If the superiors blame us, neither of us can escape."
"I, Zhao Gang, am not someone who cannot shoulder my responsibilities."
Li Yunlong chuckled and said, "I understand. Just rest assured. Can I still harm you?"
Zhao Gang glanced at Li Yunlong suspiciously. Before coming, the brigade commander specifically told him that this Li Yunlong was a thorn in the side.
There have been two political commissars, and I didn't have a good relationship with him, so he was angry and left.
So now Zhao Gang is not sure whether this guy will trick him in order to squeeze him out.
Seeing this, Li Yunlong quickly added: "Besides, what good does this do to me?"
"If it is really the superiors who blame me, I will definitely be dismissed from my post first."
Zhao Gang thought about it over and over again and decided that there was nothing fishy in it, so he agreed: "Okay, I just want to ask."
"How many troops do you plan to take out this time?"
"How long will it take to go?"
Li Yunlong said: "I will only take the guard company and the first battalion out. I will set off at noon tomorrow. I expect to be back by the afternoon of the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Zhao Gang nodded slightly, and then asked: "What if the head of the headquarters comes to you during this time?"
Li Yunlong said: "Then you said I went outside to reconnoiter the terrain. I don't know where exactly I went."
Zhao Gang then asked: "What if it's night? You're scouting the terrain, so you can't come back at night!"
Tomorrow Li Yunlong and the others will stay out all night.
Li Yunlong said casually: "Then just tell the truth. Just say that I went outside to get some weapons and equipment for the troops."
Zhao Gang said nothing more.
Li Yunlong picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Then I'll leave it to the political commissar."
Zhao Gang also picked up the wine bowl and said: "Captain, be careful all the way. Go early and come back early."
…
At ten o'clock in the evening the next day, Li Yunlong led the guard company and the first battalion to a valley near Heishen Mountain.
This place is still some distance away from the Heishenshan Coal Mine, and it is relatively hidden, so there is no need to worry about being discovered by the enemy.
The reconnaissance platoon leader pointed to a map and introduced it to Li Yunlong: "The little devil probably doesn't know about the path from the back mountain to the top of the mountain."
"However, because no one has walked on it for a long time, the road has been covered by bushes. In the past few days, we took advantage of the evening to clean it up."
"It's barely passable now, but when we get to the top of the mountain, we need to climb dozens of meters of cliffs."
Li Yunlong frowned slightly and asked, "Is it difficult to climb?"
"Um!"
The reconnaissance platoon leader nodded and said: "And it is very dangerous, but only one or two people need to climb up and hang down the rope, and it will be fine."
Li Yunlong asked: "Didn't you say before that even children can climb up?"
The reconnaissance platoon leader explained helplessly: "That happened a long time ago. Now the rocks where we stand are all covered with moss, wet and slippery, but it's not that easy to climb."
"Don't worry, captain, we have selected a few good players and they will definitely be able to climb up."
"Um!"
Li Yunlong nodded slightly.
At this time, the reconnaissance platoon leader took out another map and said: "Captain, this is the approximate location of their sentries and camps."
Li Yunlong looked at it carefully and found that the map was very detailed.
"How did you get such detailed information?"
The platoon leader smiled and said, "Thanks to the leader for reminding me."
"There is a man named Zhang Mazi nearby, a battalion commander of the puppet army. This old boy is responsible for catching young men for the Heishenshan Coal Mine."
"Almost every three or two days, this guy will escort a group of prisoners to the Black God Mountain."
"So he knows the situation on the mountain very well. He has a sweetheart in Zhoujiapu."
"We waited for him for two or three days and finally blocked him."
"That guy is a coward. We didn't even do anything, and he just recruited everything he knew."
Li Yunlong asked: "Where is the pockmarked man?"
"Killed!"
Li Yunlong frowned slightly and asked, "You don't know how to alert someone, right?"
The reconnaissance platoon leader shook his head and said, "No, this guy has done all kinds of bad things, and there are many people who want to kill him."
"That's good!"
Li Yunlong smiled and nodded and said, "With this picture, it will be much easier."
The reconnaissance platoon leader continued: "And we also got a piece of news."
"The water on the mountain is not good to drink. The hundreds of little devils on the mountain don't drink the water at all."
"Every day before dawn, they would send a team of people down the mountain to fetch water."
"Last night, we poisoned the water source."
"Poison?"
Li Yunlong was slightly startled.
The reconnaissance platoon leader said quickly: "Don't worry, captain, in order to avoid hurting innocent people, we just administered laxatives."
"And when we went down to the pool, we didn't know how much effect the medicine would have after it was diluted."
"So even if they are poisoned, they still have diarrhea."
"At most, they just thought it was a bad thing and wouldn't suspect anything."
Li Yunlong asked: "The water they fetched early this morning was poisonous. It's been a day now. Is there anything strange happening on the mountain?"
The reconnaissance platoon leader shook his head and said, "Anyway, we didn't find anything wrong."
Li Yunlong pondered for a moment and said, "We can't wait any longer."
"Action tonight."
"The reconnaissance platoon and the guard company came from the back mountain path, and Zhang Dabiao led the first battalion to prepare for the attack from the front."
"As soon as you hear any movement on the mountain, you immediately launch an attack to contain the Japanese troops."
"yes!"
Zhang Dabiao responded quickly.
Li Yunlong vowed: "This time we must ensure that we win the Heishenshan Coal Mine in one fell swoop."
"Let me tell you, this coal mine is very fertile. If we capture the Black God Mountain, we will really make a fortune."
Zhang Dabiao said excitedly: "Captain, you can rest assured."
"It's just a coal mine, but it's not something you can capture at your fingertips."
Li Yunlong reminded: "You kid, don't underestimate the enemy. When attacking from the front, don't play dumb."
"The little devil's fortifications are strong and the terrain is favorable. We must try to reduce troop casualties as much as possible."
"You just need to make your noise louder to contain their troops."
"Just leave the rest to us. If we attack from top to bottom, it will be much easier."
"yes!"
Zhang Dabiao responded quickly.
Li Yunlong then said: "Let the soldiers have a good rest and refresh themselves so that they can work hard in the rest of the night."
