The Independent Regiment blew up bridges and roads and retreated ten kilometers overnight to a place called Honggou Mountain.
It is said that there are frequent flash floods in this mountain, and there is a ditch on the ridge, so it is called Honggou Mountain.
The soldiers found a forest to hide in and buried pots to make rice.
The method of cooking is quite simple, just use a few branches to cross and tie them together to form a shelf that is almost as tall as a person, then hang the pot on the shelf, light a fire underneath, and that's it.
If you are worried that the fire will be discovered by enemy aircraft, you can use a rope to hold the four corners of your head and unfold a poncho. Looking down from the sky, you will see only smoke but no fire.
Sweet potato porridge was cooked, and the soldiers gathered around the fire to keep warm.
After the porridge was cooked, Li Yunlong filled a bowl for Sun Ming. After handing it over, he said, "I'm sorry, Adjutant Sun, this is the condition we have!"
"Thank you very much, Captain Li!" Sun Ming took the bowl and plucked it with chopsticks. He looked at the porridge inside which was as clear as water by the light of the fire. He asked doubtfully: "Captain Li, the food provided by our transaction is not small.
Well, why are you so expensive..."
Li Yunlong held the bowl and blew on the hot steam. After taking a sip, he laughed: "Adjutant Sun, the grain traded is not all owned by our independent regiment. Not to mention that the 400,000 people in the Eighth Route Army are being blocked by you and the Japanese.
There are millions of hungry people!”
Sun Ming felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, and hurriedly buried himself in his porridge to cover it up.
The Jinsui Army also participated in the blockade and plunder of the Eighth Route Army. As an adjutant, Sun Ming certainly knew this.
This is one of the reasons why Sun Ming is willing to make a deal with Li Yunlong.
Sun Ming's thoughts were similar to Chu Yunfei's, and he believed that the focus at this stage should be on dealing with the Japanese rather than on internal fighting. Unfortunately, Shangfeng did not think so.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Li Yunlong wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said, "Adjutant Sun, speaking of this deal, I have something to do right now. I wonder if Adjutant Sun can help me, Li Yunlong?"
"Commander Li, please speak." Sun Ming replied: "Your army extended a helping hand to our army in times of crisis. Sun is grateful. If Commander Li needs anything, as long as it does not violate our status as soldiers, Sun
It is my duty to do so!”
Sun Ming's words sounded like he agreed, but in fact he was telling Li Yunlong in a subtle way that "it does not violate each other's military status."
How could Li Yunlong fail to understand the meaning of these words, he smiled "Hehe": "Adjutant Sun, don't worry, I, Li Yunlong, respect you as a man. If you feel inappropriate, I, Li Yunlong, promise not to embarrass you."
This made Sun Ming feel a little embarrassed, so he nodded and said, "Captain Li, please speak."
"That's it!" Li Yunlong explained: "Didn't I just exchange a batch of Jin-made submachine guns with you some time ago? There are also hundreds of thousands of bullets. These guns and bullets were originally shipped to the headquarters to equip the guard camp. Who
I thought this would happen before I had time to transport it."
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong put on a troubled look: "To be honest, these guns and bullets have become a burden now. Just bury them. If we are short of guns and bullets here, we will still have them over there."
Have these treasures been buried? Or not? These guns and bullets have to be transported and hidden everywhere. There are more than 700,000 rounds in cars and mules and carriages, and they have to go back and forth several times! If they fall into the hands of the devil, they will
What a big loss!”
Sun Ming understood when he heard this: "Captain Li, you want to use these guns and bullets!"
"Yes, yes!" Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "This Japs is right in front of us. We can't hold a gun in our hands but not know how to use it! The problem is that few in the independent group can shoot this gun. If Adjutant Sun has no objection,
, I would like to ask your army to send a group of people to be our instructors and teach us how to use submachine guns, what do you think?"
This was not a big problem. Sun Ming agreed on the spot: "No problem, how many people does Captain Li need?"
Li Yunlong replied: "Don't I only have a hundred submachine guns? I have to keep some as spares. I plan to train fifty people. Adjutant Sun should also send fifty people, and teach each one. The Japanese are right in front of us. We are imminent.
We must teach them as soon as possible!"
This request was reasonable and reasonable. Sun Ming didn't think too much and nodded: "No problem, but one day I need them to return to the construction..."
Li Yunlong patted his chest and said, "As long as Adjutant Sun opens his mouth, I will release him immediately!"
So the matter was settled.
Li Yunlong snickered in his heart: "I'm afraid you won't dare to return them to Jianjian then!"
Li Yunlong turned around, sat next to Zhao Gang who was taking notes, and whispered: "Old Zhao, this is reliable! The next step is up to you!"
Zhao Gang was a little confused by Li Yunlong's meaningless words: "Let me be clear, what is reliable?"
"Keep your voice down!" Li Yunlong looked around nervously and said, "It's about the secret service!"
Zhao Gang said "Oh" and asked, "Adjutant Sun, did you agree?"
Li Yunlong nodded: "I asked them to be instructors!"
Then when the details were told, Zhao Gang laughed: "I'm still surprised that Sun Ming is so easy to deal with. It turns out that he is just an instructor, and he hasn't even written this character yet!"
"Old Zhao, why don't you understand?" Li Yunlong glared and said, "Do you know what kind of soldiers in the Jinsui Army are able to shoot submachine guns?"
When Li Yunlong said this, Zhao Gang vaguely understood what Li Yunlong meant: "You mean, these soldiers are all grassroots officers?"
"That's right!" Li Yunlong said: "SMGs are either used by squad leaders or platoon leaders. They are the backbone of the army. Among the more than a thousand people brought by Sun Ming, are there a hundred people who can shoot SMGs?
"
Zhao Gang thought for a while and felt that maybe there really wasn't.
Because if it were full strength, there would only be more than a hundred people, but now these soldiers are the troops who survived several rounds of fighting with the Japanese. It is estimated that there are only eighty or ninety people who can shoot submachine guns!
If fifty people are sent here, it means that more than half of the grassroots officers are sent here.
Li Yunlong continued: "Now I will put these officers together with our soldiers to fight the Japanese, and you will arrange an instructor who can do ideological work. After a long time..."
As he said this, Li Yunlong put on a sinister smile.
Zhao Gang understood immediately and his eyes quickly lit up.
If this group of grassroots officers can get their ideological work done, their influence on Sun Ming's army will be very important.
If Sun Ming can take the lead again, the recruitment of more than a thousand Jin-Sui troops will be a matter of course.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gang immediately nodded and said: "No problem, I think... Comrade Wu Zheng, the instructor of the Seventh Company, is good. He works meticulously and has a firm stand. He can put the ideological work into the hearts of every soldier. He is temporarily transferred to use a
Yes. In addition, we can let Adjutant Sun participate in the training together. Xiao Dongbei also has great ideas about training. We can let Xiao Dongbei and Adjutant Sun form this unit together! Let’s have a cooperative training!"
