Wang Xuexin could understand this. This time the Eighth Route Army took the initiative to attack, and even took the initiative when it was running out of ammunition. If the action plan was exposed and the Japanese were prepared, it would affect the entire battle and cause the troops to suffer heavy casualties.
Moreover, there are still many spies in the Eighth Route Army, including those from the Japanese advance team from the mainland, those from the puppet army, those who have been bribed, etc. There is no end in sight. It is basically impossible to keep secrets at the level of a soldier.
Therefore, the entire plan only reaches the regiment level, and other people including political commissars, deputy regimental leaders, etc. are kept confidential... The political commissar's confidentiality is not because he does not believe in the political commissar, but that the political commissar usually only cares about life, thoughts, and disciplinary issues.
Knowing that planning is of no use, any more risk is worse than one less risk.
However, the soldiers still felt a strange atmosphere.
First, a lot of bullets were sent from the rear...these bullets were from the second-line troops who retreated and were concentrated in the first-line troops.
Each regiment is divided according to the number of people, and each person is allocated an average of ten rounds of ammunition.
The independent regiment was only allocated more than 5,000 rounds of ammunition. Li Yunlong immediately hung up the phone to the headquarters angrily:
"Chief, other troops have ten rounds of ammunition per person, why does the independent regiment only have five rounds?"
"What? I'm short of bullets. Why aren't there any more?"
"Then the captured bullets can't be counted. Didn't you say that you won't be greedy no matter how much I pay?"
The leader on the other end asked angrily: "Am I greedy? Li Yunlong, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I didn't ask you to hand over a single bullet!"
With a bang, he hung up the phone.
Li Yunlong cursed into the phone unwillingly: "You really think I am a landlord! Isn't this a robbery? You didn't ask me to hand over the bullets, but there were too few bullets for me! This is not the same thing.
?”
Zhao Gang laughed at the side and said, "What? Are you still having sex with the chief? If you can, don't get angry on the phone. Call the phone and then scold him!"
Li Yunlong was originally unhappy because of this incident, but Zhao Gang provoked him again at this time, and immediately pointed the gun at Zhao Gang: "I have no ability? I have no ability, how can I beat the Japanese and lose their temper? What's the mess behind this
Shouldn't it be your political commissar who is in charge? There is no regiment leader who is working hard at the front, and he has to take care of ammunition at the back. What the hell are you doing when I become the political commissar of these parents?"
"Li Yunlong!" Zhao Gang, who was writing, threw down his pen and yelled back: "Don't you dare cross the river and burn the bridge for me. Don't you have any idea what I am doing as a political commissar? You are the only one on the battlefield? Just give me
You are still enthusiastic after completing the ideological work of the platoon leader, so you are not admitting it!"
"Does that count?" Li Yunlong retorted: "Now there is meat to eat, and the damn bullets can't be caught. This is a big deal! Why are you, the political commissar, not in a hurry?
When you feel like writing, how much money can you make from writing..."
"Are you eating meat?" Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong in confusion. Does this mean there is another war?
Only then did Li Yunlong realize that he had let something slip. He quickly looked around and said in a low voice: "Political Commissar, this is..."
Zhao Gang immediately understood what was going on. He raised his hand to stop Li Yunlong: "Stop it, don't say another word!"
Li Yunlong laughed "hehehehe": "Let me tell you, the political commissar of the Independence Regiment of the Eighth Route Army knows the truth best! If anyone doesn't admit it, I, Li Yunlong, will be in trouble with him!"
Zhao Gang shook his head angrily, picked up the pen and continued writing as if he hadn't heard anything.
But I thought to myself that I should have guessed that there was a war, otherwise why would we transport bullets to the front line and move so many troops forward?
Looking at the level of secrecy, this battle is extraordinary!
Li Yunlong didn't say anything on the other side. He was angry and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he just walked around with his hands behind his back and his waist bent.
At this time, Principal Tang, the head of the logistics department, hurriedly came in and reported: "Captain, the superiors sent us a cannon!"
"What's the big deal about a cannon?" Li Yunlong replied without raising his head: "It's not like we don't have any!"
Li Yunlong took it for granted that this was another 50 gun.
That’s not to say that the 50-year-old cannon is useless. It is a heavy piece of equipment for the Eighth Route Army, but it is not used for attacking artillery towers. Moreover, the 50-year-old cannon lacks shells rather than cannons.
Unexpectedly, Principal Tang said: "No, Captain, this is a real cannon, a 'ghost cannon'!"
"What? 'Ghost cannon'?" Li Yunlong was stunned when he heard it, and then laughed: "Don't tease you, I'm just talking nonsense in broad daylight, can my superiors give us a 'ghost cannon'?"
No wonder Li Yunlong didn't believe it.
"Ghost cannons" were not something ordinary troops could equip. Only the main force group had a few of them, and all the artillery shells captured by other troops were piled into the main force group to barely provide them.
If we count further back, until 1944, when the Anti-Japanese War was about to end, the entire army was equipped with only 20 guns.
At this time, the Eighth Route Army had less than ten troops.
The two guns that Li Yunlong had captured in Xue Ququan Village had to be turned over... It's impossible not to hand it over. Without the cannonballs, wouldn't you be just scrap metal? Only the main force has cannonballs, so you can figure it out on your own!
So in the TV series, Li Yunlong said in a coaxing manner: "Two 92 infantry cannons are nothing! Report this little thing to me? Seized it, keep it for yourself! Be careful in the future, don't bother with this little thing.
I!"
That's a lot of bullshit.
And at this time, the superiors would actually take the initiative to equip the independent regiment with "ghost cannons"?
How could such a beautiful thing happen!
Principal Tang hurriedly said: "Captain, can you just go and see it? It just arrived. We put it in the house, and we didn't dare let anyone find it! The superiors didn't send technicians, saying that Xiao Dongbei knew what was going on.
thing!"
Li Yunlong said "Oh" and understood. It must be something Xiao Dongbei was tinkering with in the arsenal recently. When I asked him before, he didn't dare to say it, but he didn't expect it to be a "ghost cannon"...
Then Li Yunlong's eyes lit up. Damn it, can our arsenal make our own "ghost cannon"?
Thinking of Li Yunlong, he no longer hesitated and walked out the door: "Let's take a look!"
After walking a few steps, he called back: "Monk, go find Xiao Dongbei for me! Move quickly!"
Wang Xuexin followed the monk into a wooden house and saw a "ghost cannon" placed inside. Li Yunlong and several other people were watching around it.
At first Wang Xuexin didn't think it was anything, but when he saw it was a "ghost cannon" without rifling, he was stunned on the spot.
"Did we make it ourselves?" Wang Xuexin said, "Did we really make it? Didn't it say it would take a few more days?"
The person who brought the cannon was a worker from the No. 3 Factory. He explained: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, Director Su and the others worked day and night without stopping for 24 hours and finally got out. They are still busy at the moment.
Assemble the other two, so you can't come with the cannon."
Wang Xuexin said "Oh" and asked again: "Have you ever had a fight?"
The worker nodded heavily: "After three rounds, everything is normal, but the shells exploded a little wrong!"
