Nantu Village got its name because it is located south of Fenhe River and is surrounded by a piece of loess.
In fact, Nantu Village is no longer a village.
The Japs implemented the "no man's land" strategy in this area. Except for a dozen or so buildings in this village that were used by the Japs and puppet troops as military dormitories, the rest were all burned and blown up. The whole village was as dark and dark as a black forest.
Deserted.
The independent group lurked in batches in front of Nantucun after dark.
This operation was kept highly confidential. Li Yunlong did not hold a meeting until three hours before the battle. It was not until then that the soldiers knew that they were going to counterattack the Japanese defense lines.
The reason why the meeting should be held three hours before the war is due to two considerations:
First, it is not yet dark at this time, so frontline soldiers can hold meetings normally and have time to prepare after the meeting.
The second is to strictly prohibit the soldiers from going out after the meeting, so that the spies who are mixed in the team have no time and no conditions to spread the news...
The way spies deliver messages is usually by agreeing to press the written information under a tree or hide it in a tree hole at a certain location outside the village, and then other traitors disguised as businessmen or passers-by will take the information out.
This usually takes several days, so intelligence tends to lag.
Li Yunlong put his hands on his waist at the meeting and said triumphantly: "Comrades, it's time to eat meat! This time, we are not going to do anything, just go to the Japanese to steal things, equipment, and food.
, bullets, cannonballs... whatever you need, just pick it up! If you have the ability, I will support you, and don't be greedy for others. If you can't pick up anything and you will be hungry later, don't come here to call me..."
"Hey..." Zhao Gang originally wasn't going to interfere with Li Yunlong's speech, but after hearing what he said became more and more outrageous, he couldn't help but stood up and stopped him: "Why do you make it sound like robbery? We are the Eighth Route Army, not bandits.
robber!"
Li Yunlong replied without thinking: "What's wrong with bandits and robbers? We in the Eighth Route Army are bandits and robbers who specialize in robbing Japanese and puppet troops. Are you right, comrades?"
"Yes!" the soldiers shouted in unison, especially the bandits who had just been collected by Xie Baoqing. These words made them feel comfortable and proud on their faces.
To be honest, Li Yunlong still has two skills in boosting morale.
Although he usually looks tall and thick, squeaking and whirring, he actually knows better than anyone in his heart.
Many soldiers of the Independent Regiment have always been dissatisfied with Xie Baoqing and his bandits.
For example, the monk would always go to trouble bandits every once in a while. For example, when he saw Xie Baoqing, he would shout: "Oh, boss, didn't I hear that you are planning to take revenge on me? I am standing here today, what do you think?"
What?"
As a result, Xie Baoqing's two people were not human, and he had to be careful with the monk from time to time. If he saw it from a distance, he would take a detour.
In fact, this is also Xie Baoqing's cleverness. If there really is a fight, who can be the monk's opponent?
Forget it, some of the soldiers have a blood feud with the bandits of Heiyun Village. There was a soldier in the third battalion, and his sister was destroyed by the bandits of Heiyun Village. There were also many other soldiers who were robbed by bandits.
Not necessarily all of them were robbed by Heiyun Village, but they held a grudge in their hearts, so they looked at Xie Baoqing and the others with a slightly different look.
During this period, Zhao Gang took the instructor to deal with this matter.
It was a meeting and the instructor was asked to do ideological work. It was not easy to suppress the matter.
But apparently everything was fine, but secretly there was still a big problem: Li Yunlong encouraged the troops and even the soldiers to fight privately in order to cultivate the wolf nature of the troops.
So... it was common for Xie Baoqing and his gang of bandits to be beaten with bruises and swollen faces, and a few of them had broken arms and legs and became directly wounded.
Xie Baoqing went to Li Yunlong and complained several times: "Captain, if we continue like this, we won't be able to stay in the Independent Regiment. We were beaten to death by our own comrades before we even met the Japanese..."
Li Yunlong still said the same thing: "Not convinced? Beat him! This is what our independent group is like!"
But Li Yunlong said this, but he knew in his heart that the soldiers of the independent regiment were secretly targeting people like Xie Baoqing. If Xie Baoqing and others dared to act arrogant again, they would probably be beaten by the soldiers of the entire regiment to the point where they would not even be able to recognize their own mothers.
what to do?
The political commissar has also done ideological work, and the conference has been held, but people say this is training, and it is a rule set by Li Yunlong himself. You can't stop practicing like this just to protect Xie Baoqing, right?
When the time comes to beat up the Japanese, it won't do if you can't be ruthless.
After much deliberation, Li Yunlong thought there was only one way, to fight a bloody battle!
So before the meeting, Li Yunlong made a special trip to find Xie Baoqing and said to him: "Deputy Company Commander Xie, don't say I didn't tell you. If you want to change your comrades' views on you, there is an opportunity right in front of you! The soldiers of our independent regiment are different from other troops.
Likewise, whether or not they can accept you depends not on discipline, orders, or affection, but on whether you can live and die with them to fight the Japanese!"
After saying that, Li Yunlong patted Xie Baoqing on the shoulder and said: "Fight a good fight. If you fight well, the Independent Group will treat you as their own brothers. If anyone wants to trouble you in private, I, Li Yunlong, will never finish with him. We can fight him."
No, just get out of here, the Independent Group is no place for you!"
When Xie Baoqing heard this, he understood that this independent regiment was a "wolf's den", and the soldiers of the independent regiment were like wild wolves. If you want to stay in this "wolf's den", you have to look at your own abilities, otherwise you will be killed.
Eliminated, no one can help!
So Xie Baoqing asked Ergou to tell the soldiers of the original Heiyun Village one by one: "Fight them all, and let the people of the Independent Regiment see that we in Heiyun Village are not cowards!"
At this time, Li Yunlong compared the Independent Group to "bandits and robbers" who specialize in robbing Japanese soldiers at the meeting. In fact, he also meant to help Xie Baoqing.
Zhao just managed to calm down the soldiers' shouts and spoke:
"That's not what the leader said. The more accurate meaning is...this time, our strategic goal is not to fight the Japanese, but to destroy the Japanese's traffic."
"The main one is railway, followed by highway."
“For this reason, the superiors put forward the ‘Three Don’t Leave’ slogan of ‘Leave not a single rail, not a single sleeper, and not leave a single bridge’.”
"If you ask me, it should be five without leaving, plus 'not leaving a tunnel, not leaving a road'..."
Li Yunlong interjected: "Let's just add a few more: 'Don't leave a gun', 'Don't leave a bullet'... Don't these mean the same thing? Comrades, don't you agree?"
The soldiers cheered and cheered so loudly that Zhao Gang didn't know how to explain.
And there seems to be some truth to this. It would be great if the gun and bullets could be handed over, and it would also be a powerful blow to the Japanese.
But I felt like something was wrong... It took me a long time to suddenly realize that this guy Li Yunlong had led me astray again!
