"Keep sending people to search! If you want to see the person alive, you want to see the body if you die!"
"clear!"
"Has Xinyi Tuan called back?"
"Li Yunlong has sent Zhang Chu out."
"good!"
The brigade commander finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Gang's mysterious disappearance was indeed a big deal. He was extremely worried.
The current new group is well led by Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang. With the addition of Zhang Chu, it is simply the most perfect combination.
Li Yunlong was unruly and it was difficult to find a suitable bridle for him.
And Zhao Gang happened to be the one with the bridle.
Not only can it keep an eye on Li Yunlong, but it can also help him unleash his greatest potential.
The New Regiment wiped out the Kasahara Regiment in Ping'an County, and then joined forces in Yu County and She County, and became famous, and Zhao Gang was indispensable.
It would be such a pity if such an outstanding political cadre died unfortunately.
When the battle was at its most intense, nothing happened to Zhao Gang.
The Xinyi Regiment and the Japanese continued to fight fiercely, and Zhao Gang was always fighting at the front line, killing the enemy with his own hands. All of them were unscathed.
I just came to have a meeting...
If I had known earlier, there would be no need to ask him to come. Just tell him in the telegram.
But this matter...
And it must be said face to face.
"Brigadier, don't be too nervous. Our cavalry battalion has been released. They will definitely find some clues."
"Our cavalry battalion..."
The brigade commander felt relieved a little.
Yes, we also have a very good cavalry battalion.
The last time Li Yunlong attacked Wanjia Town, he captured a large number of war horses. He only kept one company, and all other war horses and supplies were turned over.
It's rare that Li Yunlong is so honest.
Later I learned that I couldn't afford it.
Indeed, it is not easy for him to raise a cavalry battalion in one regiment.
In the past, we were all searching hard and we couldn't even get enough to eat. Now that we have captured Yuxian and Shexian, the situation may be a little better.
With two county towns in hand, life at the brigade headquarters was a little easier.
According to the instructions of the headquarters, in addition to sending part of the war horse supplies to the headquarters to supplement the headquarters' cavalry regiment, the headquarters also specially instructed that the brigade headquarters also set up a cavalry battalion with a total of more than 500 horses.
All of them are horse-mounted four-ring rifles. There are also a considerable number of light machine guns, submachine guns, and mortars.
The overall combat effectiveness can be said to be quite powerful.
Even if you encounter Japanese cavalry, you still have a chance to fight head-on.
Indeed, if the cavalry battalion is spread out, there will definitely be news in return.
"How many troops did Zhang Chu bring?"
"Sun Desheng's cavalry company. About one hundred and fifty people."
"fine!"
The brigade commander nodded.
I am also a little worried that Zhang Chu will take risks.
Although I have never been clear about Zhang Chu’s details, I can be sure that he is a treasure.
Not only is there a way to obtain a large amount of weapons and ammunition, but the individual soldiers also have strong combat effectiveness.
How strong is it?
The Japanese even offered a price of 10,000 taels of gold!
Ten thousand taels of gold!
It’s simply terrifying!
The Japanese talk freely and brag without making any drafts.
I don’t even know what the concept is!
One tael of gold is a small yellow croaker! A small yellow croaker can be exchanged for more than thirty oceans!
Ten thousand taels of gold equals more than three hundred thousand oceans!
Enough to draw a team of several thousand people!
Not only do you have gold, but you also have official positions! At least you start as a brigade commander! You even become a division commander or army commander!
It's rare for Japanese people to be so generous.
Although the words are unfounded, it also shows that the Japanese hate Zhang Chu.
Li Yunlong was so noisy that the Japanese did not offer any reward.
"Brigade commander! Chief of staff!"
"The ammunition from the new group has arrived."
Suddenly a staff officer came to report.
The brigade commander immediately cheered up and walked out with the chief of staff.
Sure enough, the new group of ammunition sent from Yu County finally arrived belatedly.
Because the amount of ammunition was quite large, it took a lot of time on the road.
Fortunately, the Japanese invaders around Cangyun Ridge have been eliminated. From Ping'an County to Cangyun Ridge, except for sporadic Japanese cavalry, there are no other Japanese troops. The sporadic Japanese cavalry also suffered from the brigade cavalry.
The battalion's attacks have gradually stopped going deep. There is basically no fighting around Cangyun Ridge.
In other words, if there are no accidents, this large area has become a relatively stable rear area for the Eighth Route Army. Production can be carried out with confidence. Field hospitals, headquarters offices, etc., also have a relatively safe place. In addition to bombing by Japanese invaders, there are other dangers
Not big anymore.
"7.92 mm Mauser rifle ammunition, half a million rounds."
"7.62mm Mosin-Nagant rifle ammunition, three hundred thousand rounds."
"6.5mm rifle ammunition, 200,000 rounds."
In addition to rifle bullets, there are also some submachine gun bullets. Mainly Thompson submachine guns.
Because neither the headquarters nor the brigade have yet used the Bobosha submachine gun.
Zhang Chu didn’t want to make the logistics too complicated.
"Where are the cannonballs?"
"behind."
"Let's go and have a look!"
The brigadier strides forward.
He was relieved after seeing a large number of shells with his own eyes.
very good!
The expended shells were replenished.
In the past, when we attacked the Matsui Regiment, we didn't consume much artillery shells. However, when we attacked the Horikawa Regiment later, we consumed a lot of shells.
The Japanese were indeed very fanatical. Even when faced with a desperate situation, no one surrendered. The battle was very difficult. Fortunately, they finally won and wiped out all the Japanese.
At this point, the brigade headquarters finally breathed a sigh of relief, and several main groups were able to take a break.
If Li Yunlong is eating meat from the outside, these main teams are chewing the bones with difficulty.
Every group played very hard.
Before the battle was over, Ding Wei fell ill.
Even his strong body cannot withstand such a high-intensity battle.
Almost chewing it inch by inch!
The Japanese dug countless tunnels into their positions, like spider webs.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, the brigade commander himself wouldn't have been able to believe that the Japanese's soil work was actually so advanced!
The boss and teachers looked at it and were also very surprised.
The Japanese really taught us a lesson in soil work.
The field fortifications were dug better than those of the Eighth Route Army.
To this end, various troops were specially organized to go to the scene to watch and learn.
If we are besieged or blocked by Japanese invaders in the future, we can take the same approach.
No matter how fierce the enemy's firepower is, as long as enough tunnels are dug, the losses can be greatly reduced. This is truly more sweat and less bleeding.
But in the end, we still have to rely on artillery shells to solve the problem.
Otherwise, facing such complex tunnel fortifications, we can only fill it inch by inch with the lives of soldiers.
From this aspect, Zhang Chu definitely made great achievements.
It's a pity that the award cannot be given publicly.
Because now the Japanese have their eyes on him.
Affected by the ten thousand taels of gold, many dark forces also targeted him.
The Japanese secret service also received strict orders, requiring them to quickly deal with Zhang Chu. Otherwise, military law will be engaged.
For this reason, all Japanese secret service agencies in North China were dispatched on the run.
It is said that the head of the North China Secret Service, Yoshikawa Sadyou, also secretly dispatched to deal with Zhang Chu personally.
The brigade commander himself was from Teko, so of course he didn't dare to neglect him.
In addition to reminding Xinyi Tuan to pay attention, we also made some secret arrangements to prevent unexpected events.
Unexpectedly, something happened to Zhao Gang.
What he is most worried about now is that Zhao Gang is being targeted by the Japanese.
The Japanese secret service did not catch Zhang Chu. It accidentally hit the passenger car. It caught Zhao Gang. That would be troublesome.
"Brigade commander! Chief of staff!"
Suddenly someone came in a hurry.
He is an intelligence officer.
"Report to the brigade commander and chief of staff!"
"There is news about a new group of Zhao Gang."
The brigade commander's heart sank.
The chief of staff waved his hand and asked the people around him to move away.
"where?"
"According to the tip, Zhao Gang passed by the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army two days ago. Chu Yunfei also hosted a banquet in honor of him."
"When did he leave?"
"I left after eating. Chu Yunfei also sent a company to escort him. He said it was not safe on the road."
"Who are this company?"
"It is a company formed temporarily. Many of them are activists who insist on resisting Japan. According to the intelligence, this company has a total of two hundred and thirty people. Chu Yunfei has equipped them with sufficient weapons and ammunition."
"Who is leading the team?"
"Ma Yue! Captain of the 358th Regiment Cavalry Company."
"How is this person doing?"
"It is said that he is Chu Yunfei's confidant. He and the guard adjutant Sun Ming are called Chu Yunfei's right-hand man."
"Have you ever killed a Japs?"
"Killed. Previously, the 358th Regiment encountered Japanese invaders Bantian Regiment in Luye. Chu Yunfei was almost besieged. It was Ma Yue who led the cavalry company and repeatedly charged and killed the 358th Regiment. In that battle, the cavalry company
The loss was huge. Ma Yue killed at least ten Japanese."
"Is there any other information?"
"temporarily unavailable."
"Very good. Make arrangements immediately to verify the authenticity of the information. Dig out as many details as possible."
"yes!"
The intelligence staff officer turned around and left.
The brigade commander pushed up his glasses. He still couldn't let go.
What Chu Yunfei did made the situation more complicated.
"Could it be..."
The chief of staff hesitated to speak.
He was preparing for the worst. He felt that Chu Yunfei arranged it deliberately.
Arrange all the activists in the group to be with Zhao Gang, and then set up an ambush to kill them all. Kill two birds with one stone.
It is also possible that the Japanese took action.
As long as the information is given to the Japanese...
"Chu Yunfei won't." The brigade commander shook his head affirmatively, "At least not now."
The chief of staff nodded.
In fact, he also believed that Chu Yunfei wouldn't.
Otherwise, Chu Yunfei would not be equipped with ammunition.
However, there are others in the 358th Regiment. Chu Yunfei also has superiors. If the superiors order...
He is suspect after all.
"That's good news."
"Why?"
"If there are more than 200 people around Zhao Gang, even if they encounter an ambush, they can still withstand one or two. As long as they find favorable terrain, they can hold on for a few days."
"That's right. As long as you have enough ammunition, you shouldn't encounter any unexpected accidents in an instant..."
The chief of staff said slowly.
I hope so.
However, who can say accurately what happens on the battlefield?
Just like Ye Chenghuan, the former leader of the main force, who would have thought? Seeing that the battle was won, a bullet flew...
