The battle on the second day did not go beyond the expectations of Gao Hongming, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang. After several days of fighting day and night, the Japanese troops in Ping'an County were exhausted to the extreme. They faced almost twenty of their number.
Times, and the well-armed Liantai Militia Group and the Independent Group launched a general attack, but they only lasted less than three hours before being completely annihilated.
What was unexpected was that when cleaning the battlefield, not only were a lot of weapons and ammunition seized, but also a lot of money was found. After counting, a total of 60,000 yuan and more than 100 taels of gold were obtained.
After discussing with Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang, Gao Hongming decided to send all the captured weapons and ammunition to the Independent Regiment, while Dayang and Gold would go to the Liantai Militia. In this way, one party wanted weapons and the other wanted money. It can be said that everyone was happy.
After the two parties finished dividing the spoils, Gao Hongming took Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang to a place that was heavily guarded. He smiled and said to the two of them: "Brother Li, Political Commissar Zhao, didn't I promise to give you a generous gift when you first came here the day before yesterday?
, today I am here to fulfill my promise, you can see whether you are satisfied or not."
After that, he asked the soldier guarding the door to open the door and walked in first. Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang looked at each other and followed.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang felt their breathing become short of breath. They saw stacks of boxes neatly placed inside, many of which had words such as "徾药と火薬" written on them.
Although the two of them do not understand Japanese, many Japanese and Chinese languages are interoperable. They can make guesses just by looking at the fonts. The two even saw four Type 92 infantry guns and six Type 99 81mm
Mortar.
Seeing almost a warehouse full of weapons and ammunition, Li Yunlong even changed his voice.
"Oh my God, this...is this a little devil's arsenal?"
"Yes!"
Gao Hongming nodded and said: "Our regiment took this ammunition depot yesterday. It contains enough weapons and ammunition to equip a Japanese regiment. But you also know that my troops are equipped with German weapons, so it is useless to come here.
So I gave it to you, what do you think...are you satisfied with this gift?"
"Satisfied...I'm so satisfied..." Looking at the weapons and ammunition piled up in the warehouse, Li Yunlong was like a mouse that fell into a rice vat and could hardly walk.
Zhao Gang was so excited that he just held Gao Hongming's hand and his eyes turned red. Gao Hongming's gift was not only a generous gift, it was simply inhumane.
With these weapons and ammunition, the Eighth Route Army can immediately expand to two more main regiments. If the expansion is relaxed, it can even expand to four to five basic regiments. This gift is for the Eighth Route Army, which is currently short of guns and ammunition.
It's just timely rain.
"Captain Gao, I won't say anything grateful. From now on, you will be our Eighth Route Army's best friend."
Gao Hongming burst out laughing, "Political Commissar Zhao, it's okay for the three of us to just listen to this. It won't be a good thing for you if it spreads."
Only then did Zhao Gang realize that what he said was obviously overreaching. What qualifications did he, a regiment political commissar, have to represent the Eighth Route Army? For the head of the headquarters, it was almost the same.
He said with some embarrassment: "Captain Gao is right, I made a mistake, but no matter what, you will always be the best friend of our independent group."
"Of course, we are already friends!"
Gao Hongming pointed to the arms in the warehouse and said: "But I would like to remind you as a friendly reminder that you must move these things as soon as possible, otherwise when the Japanese army comes, you will not be able to take them away even if you want to."
After Gao Hongming reminded him, Zhao Gang woke up from his excitement and immediately remembered a serious problem, that is, there were too many weapons and ammunition seized this time. With more than a thousand people in their independent regiment, there was no way they could put these supplies together at once.
After moving away, not only Zhao Gang, but also Li Yunlong was a little dumbfounded.
In the past, they always thought that the most painful thing in the world was to seize too little supplies after the war, but now they know that what is more painful than too little is to seize too much and have no way to move it away.
So sad.
But it was Li Yunlong who was the ghost. When he saw them standing aside, smiling and looking at them as if it had nothing to do with him, his heart moved, and he immediately grabbed Gao Hongming's arm, "As the old saying goes, good deeds will be rewarded until the end."
To the West. Since you gave us this generous gift, you must be responsible for delivering it to the place, right?
I don’t care, you have to help us handle this matter, otherwise I will pester you and never leave!”
Seeing Li Yunlong acting like a rogue, Gao Hong couldn't help but laugh or cry. This guy really knows how to stalk and fight.
He shook his head helplessly: "You guys are really smart. You don't think about it. Although most of the people in Ping'an County have been evacuated, there are still many people left, and there are still so many people around.
Many villages.
The Eighth Route Army must have grassroots organizations nearby. You should gather them all immediately. I dare not say if there are more, but it should not be a problem to gather six to seven thousand troops. With people, are you still afraid that you will not be able to move these things? "
"yes!"
Li Yunlong slapped his thigh.
"Why didn't I think of that? We in the Eighth Route Army dare not say anything else. When it comes to mobilizing the masses, we consider ourselves second, but no one dares to consider ourselves first. Lao Zhao, you are good at this, so I leave it to you."
"No problem, I'll do it right away." Zhao Gang said and left in a hurry.
In fact, Li Yunlong did not brag. In the afternoon, county brigade, district brigade and other teams from nearby Ping'an County swarmed in, and with them came dense crowds of ordinary people.
These common people were men, women, old and young. They were either pushing wheelbarrows, carrying poles or driving carts. They were a densely packed group of people. Gao Hongming made a rough estimate, and there were not even ten thousand, but eight thousand.
Seeing this, Gao Hongming was also shocked by the mobilization ability of the Eighth Route Army. No wonder Chiang Kai-shek's regime was about to end after the Anti-Japanese War. It can be seen from this small matter that the world belongs to those who win the hearts of the people. This sentence is true.
It's not just talk.
At this time, it was time to say goodbye. Gao Hongming, Li Yunlong, and Zhao Gang said goodbye.
Li Yunlong waved his hand: "Brother Gao, I won't say any more polite words. I, Li Yunlong, will remember your favor and we will keep in touch in the future."
"No problem, I will definitely come and have a drink with you if I have the chance."
"That's necessary. Then I'll treat you to Japanese canned food and Japanese sake!"
"Hahaha……"
The three of them laughed together, and finally Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang said goodbye. We are all soldiers, so there is not so much love between children. Although everyone knew that this farewell might be forever, no one shed tears.
This is perhaps the most common thing in this era.
