Kong Jie and the monk came all the way on horseback. They arrived at the place in more than two hours. At the entrance of the station, they met a sentry on guard. The sentry greeted Kong Jie.
"Captain Kong, why are you here?"
Kong Jie nodded and asked directly: "Where is Li Yunlong? Is Li Yunlong at the regiment headquarters?"
The sentry shook his head and said: "Captain Kong, it's not a coincidence that you are here. Our commander just left the station with his team two hours ago."
"Then who is at the regiment headquarters now?"
"Our political commissar is at the Youth League headquarters!"
Kong Jie responded, took the monk and headed directly towards the regiment headquarters.
The sentry soldiers were not surprised by this. In the entire 386th Brigade, who didn’t know that their commander and Commander Kong were old comrades in the Fourth Front Army? They have a strong sense of comradeship!
Especially in the matter of being stationed, Commander Kong has gained a good reputation as "a kind man who always thinks of his old comrades and brothers."
So when Kong Jie arrived at the New Second Regiment, he even skipped the briefing and went straight to the regiment headquarters.
At the headquarters of the New Second Regiment, Kong Jie met Zhao Gang.
Zhao Gang was also quite surprised by Kong Jie's sudden appearance.
"Lao Kong!"
"Haha, Lao Zhao, we haven't seen each other for a while, right?"
Zhao Gang sighed: "Isn't that right? It's been more than half a month since you led the independent group to leave Yangcun."
"Lao Kong, I heard that your Independent Regiment has been expanding the guerrilla zone during this period, and the fighting has not stopped everywhere. How come you have time to come to our New Second Regiment?"
While asking, Zhao Gang welcomed Kong Jie to the inner room of the regiment headquarters, and together with the monk, he opened the curtain of the inner room and walked in.
Most of the houses in this rural area are built of earth and stone structures.
Except for the main door of the main house, which is made of wooden doors, there are no doors in the inner rooms of the house. Installing doors is too extravagant.
So most of them just hang curtains.
According to the original script, during the counter-mopping up, Li Yunlong put the Japanese into Xinzhuang and started a curtain fight, that's what it meant.
The Japanese entered the house and opened the curtain of the inner room. The soldiers hid in the inner room. The moment the Japanese opened the curtain, they stabbed out with their bayonets.
This is the so-called curtain challenge.
After Zhao Gang and Kong Jie sat down, Kong Jie told Zhao Gang that through the battles in Xiaonan Village and Xiaobei Village, he judged that the Japanese army was about to launch a counterattack against this robbery spree.
I came here this time just to inform the New Second Group.
Zhao Gang was very farsighted. After listening to Kong Jie's analysis, he nodded in agreement and said, "Old Kong, to tell you the truth, I have always been worried about the Japanese counterattack.
Because of this matter, I tried to persuade Lao Li a lot.
This wave of robbery is quite a big deal, but once the Japanese come to their senses and launch a counterattack, this is no joke.
During these days, the Japs-occupied areas were constantly being robbed, not only by bandits and local armies, but also by the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army. It seemed that those who took action reaped a lot of benefits from the Japs-occupied areas.
But I always feel like there's something wrong with this.
Compared with the entire land in northwestern Shanxi, the Japanese and puppet troops wanted to achieve absolute stability of public security in all counties, towns, and villages in the occupied area, and their military strength was indeed insufficient.
Therefore, in the initial stage of the robbery trend, it is understandable that the anti-Japanese armed forces of all parties were able to gain benefits.
But it has been nearly two weeks.
These teams can also benefit from the Japanese-occupied areas, which is a bit unusual.
I even suspect that this is a trap deliberately set by the Japanese, using surrounding villages and towns as bait, and then suddenly launching a counterattack after attracting enough targets into the trap."
After Zhao Gang said these words, Kong Jie was also a little frightened.
The Japanese deliberately set traps and used villages and towns as bait, but Kong Jie didn't even think of this.
It's really hard to guard against, this little devil is really cunning.
"Old Zhao, what you said reminds me that now it seems very possible that the devils are just waiting for enough fish to be lured by the bait, and then close the net in one fell swoop!"
"Have you never told Lao Li about this?" Kong Jie asked.
Zhao Gang smiled bitterly and said: "I told you, but Lao Li kept saying, grab two more before we talk, and that's it, we have been grabbing until now."
Kong Jie said: "It is indeed Lao Li's temperament. This kid can't hold back when he gets benefits.
If my guess is correct, if you tell Lao Li that this is a trap, Lao Li will definitely say that even if it is a trap, I will pull out two teeth from the Japs mouth."
Zhao Gang smiled and said: "Old Kong, you really got it right, that's pretty much what you meant."
Kong Jie said: "Once the Japanese army's major counterattack begins, it will be extremely violent. So, without further ado, Lao Zhao, please quickly send someone to inform Lao Li and ask him to shrink all the frontline troops."
"I have sent Wenjie to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade commander should also give orders to each regiment."
"The team led by Lao Li is too deep now. I heard that it has even reached the vicinity of Ping'an County. Once the Japanese counterattack, I'm worried that Lao Li and the others will be bitten by the Japanese before they have time to evacuate."
Kong Jie's words were solemn, and Zhao Gang also knew that the matter was urgent, so he immediately nodded and said: "Okay."
Kong Jie said: "By the way, Old Zhao, just asking Old Li to come back like this, according to this kid's temperament, he may not be willing to listen.
In this way, on the one hand, it told Lao Li that the Japanese and puppet troops were preparing to launch a counterattack, allowing him to withdraw his troops in time.
On the other hand, I told Lao Li that he should stop staring at Sangualiang Zaoer on the front line and ask him to come back as soon as possible. I am still waiting for him at the regiment headquarters!
There is a big deal, and if it is done well, we will have one or two thousand rifles, light and heavy machine guns, and even mortars will not be a problem."
Zhao Gang was startled for a moment, then smiled and said: "Okay!"
……
The front line of the New Second Regiment’s guerrilla area.
North direction of Ping'an County.
In a certain valley, Li Yunlong, Zhang Dabiao and a company of troops have been lurking here for nearly an hour.
The weather in the twelfth lunar month was getting colder and colder. Li Yunlong had been lying on the slopes on both sides. His hands and feet were a little stiff from the cold. Looking at the path leading to Ping'an County, there was still no target. Li Yunlong couldn't help but cursed: This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"What's going on? Why haven't the bandits arrived yet? Dabiao, is your information reliable?"
Zhang Dabiao replied: "Captain, the information must be reliable. The bandits who have sneaked into and robbed around Ping'an County these days, our place must pass through. If they really robbed materials from Ping'an County, they must go here.
."
"In addition, half an hour ago, the reconnaissance platoon in front of us also received intelligence, saying that two or three groups of bandits had disguised themselves as civilians and sneaked into Ping'an County."
Li Yunlong held his hands in his hands, took a breath of hot air, rubbed them together, and said, "Okay, wait another half an hour. If this bandit doesn't come over, we should withdraw. If he doesn't leave, he will freeze to death here." "It's really not easy to do it off the shelf. I heard that Old Ding once blocked a traffic artery outside the county town and robbed three groups of bandits in one morning. How can that kid be so lucky?" p>
Zhang Dabiao was speechless. The leader was addicted to cheating.
The New Second Regiment alone has robbed many groups of bandits these past few days.
Li Yunlong even sent teams into the mountains to encircle and destroy several bandit villages, completely wiping out all the supplies that the bandits had hoarded for many years.
So much so that Captain Li's reputation is now "notorious" among the bandits.
Nickname: Specialist in bandit suppression.
Li Yunlong doesn't care about this.
Who wants to rob bandits? The risks are small and the rewards are huge?
Most of the bandits bullied the weak and feared the strong, and finally robbed a large amount of supplies and cash from the Japanese-occupied areas. When they encountered the Eighth Route Army, they were immediately frightened, and honestly left all the supplies and cash and left.
In Li Yunlong's words, "If it weren't for these days, what you are robbing is the Japanese-occupied area and what you are fighting are the Japanese and puppet troops. It is still a human thing. I would have destroyed you today!"
Just as he was talking, a burst of fierce gunfire suddenly came from the direction of Ping'an County.
Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao both looked in the direction of Ping'an County.
"What happened? Could it be that the bandits and the Japanese and puppet troops were involved?"
Zhang Dabiao shook his head and said: "I don't know."
After waiting for another ten minutes, the leader of the reconnaissance platoon responsible for investigating the situation on the front line returned and reported to Li Yunlong:
"Captain, the situation is not good. We rushed to the vicinity of the county seat to investigate. The fighting occurred inside the county seat. It seems that the three waves of bandits who sneaked in in the morning have not been able to come out."
Zhang Dabiao was dumbfounded and said helplessly: "It's over, commander, this little devil seems to have learned a lot. It seems that these three groups of bandits failed to rob, but instead got themselves involved."
Li Yunlong cursed: "These bandits are so fucking unworthy, how can they fail when they go to the county town to grab something? Now that it's better, who do I want to rob?"
Zhang Dabiao: "..."
"Captain, what should we do now?"
"Wait a little longer and take a look at the situation. If it doesn't work, let's find an opportunity to come back another day." Li Yunlong said.
