Chapter 1021 Returning to Chongqing for the Last Time
"Captain, are you going to Chongqing again?" Hong Linfeng, who had been excited just now, immediately became anxious and stared at Li Hao closely and asked.
"This should be the last time I go to Chongqing. There are still things that have not been settled there. This time I go to Chongqing to handle everything, and then I will take Xiao Yuan back to the base." Li Hao affirmed.
Hong Linfeng didn't know what the leader was doing in Chongqing, but it must be a big deal, so he definitely couldn't stop it.
He immediately asked: "Will that be dangerous?"
"You are the backbone of our defense team, and nothing can happen to you no matter what."
Li Hao did not deny: "There is definitely danger, but I can solve it."
"Because I have too many things to do when I go to Chongqing this time, and Chongqing definitely doesn't have enough manpower, so I'm going to bring the reconnaissance company with me, all in civilian clothes, and carry short guns with me to Chongqing."
"After arriving in Chongqing, I will find a way to re-equip them with long rifles and machine guns, and give them an upright identity to carry out missions in Chongqing until they return to the base with me."
"In addition, the mobile battalion and the baggage company also have tasks. They will take all the mules, horses and war horses that the regiment can gather. Set off now, travel day and night, rush to our secret stronghold in Xi'an, lurk, and prepare to take over the ammunition."
"The volume this time may be a bit large, so they need to be prepared to march continuously and hurry up."
"I must ensure that the ammunition I sent to Xi'an is returned to the base safely."
"If something goes wrong on the road, I would rather hide my things in the mountains temporarily than risk transporting them."
Hong Linfeng replied seriously: "Don't worry, captain, I will personally lead the team to Xi'an, there will be no problem."
At the Chongqing Pharmaceutical Factory, more than a hundred military police sent by the Military and Political Department all returned without success due to the obstruction of a few Americans.
Looking at the other person's slowly disappearing back, Xiao Yuan didn't show any smile on his face.
A few days ago, the Military and Administrative Ministry only sent a few officers over and asked to enter the pharmaceutical factory to take a look.
Today they have been replaced by a company of military police. If it weren't for the fact that they didn't have a search warrant, it would have been impossible for a few Americans to stop him.
The situation outside the factory is not optimistic either.
Last night, the action team dealt with 28 spies who wanted to get close to the pharmaceutical factory. Some were Japanese, some were from Chongqing, and some were from other forces, with various identities.
There is also a garrison a few kilometers away from the pharmaceutical factory.
Yesterday, the number of regiments suddenly increased from one to two regiments, and an additional artillery battalion was assigned to keep an eye on the pharmaceutical factory from a distance, ready to attack at any time.
There are also two more checkpoints on the road leading to the pharmaceutical factory to check passing vehicles. The euphemistic name is to protect the pharmaceutical factory and prevent strangers from approaching the pharmaceutical factory. In fact, it is responsible for monitoring and blocking the pharmaceutical factory.
A soldier's sixth sense is very strong, and Xiao Yuan had a vague feeling that something big was going to happen at the pharmaceutical factory.
"Captain, this is a piece of information just sent from the office. You are only allowed to open it and read it alone." A subordinate hurriedly came over and handed Xiao Yuan an unopened envelope with the words Xiao Yuan's personal address on it.
Four words.
Opening the envelope, Xiao Yuan glanced at it and burned the paper inside along with the envelope. His frown, which was already frowning, deepened after reading the contents of the letter.
This is a piece of information the office obtained from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
Because there was no search warrant, the military police sent by the Ministry of Military Affairs today returned without success.
But the Military and Administrative Department was not willing to accept it, and all the officers were angry.
In order to find out whether the pharmaceutical factory was an Eighth Route Army arsenal and whether there were any arms hoarded in it, the Ministry of Military Affairs was determined to search the pharmaceutical factory.
In order not to offend Americans, we are applying for a search warrant to the top and searching the pharmaceutical factory through normal channels.
Once a search warrant is issued, Americans have no reason to stop you.
Li Hao led a reconnaissance company and a radio station, traveling day and night, nearly a hundred kilometers away from the pharmaceutical factory.
After dawn, more than a hundred people lurked in the woods to rest as usual, some sleeping and some on duty.
The radio station was also set up on time, ready to receive telegrams.
"Didi...didi...didi..." As soon as the phone was turned on, the red light receiving the signal began to flash.
"Someone is calling us." Zhou Liang quickly put on his earphones, controlled the radio with his left hand, and wrote the telegram code with a pencil in his right hand.
"Captain, it's Captain Xiao who sent an urgent message from the pharmaceutical factory: The Ministry of Military Affairs is applying for a search warrant to search the pharmaceutical factory. This time they can't stop them even if they want to. Please ask for instructions."
Li Hao frowned and replied: "Let them search!"
"Tell Xiao Yuan to hide all the things that should be hidden in the pharmaceutical factory in the back mountain, seal all entrances and exits, and clean up all traces of personnel activities."
"The less we allow them to search, the more questions they will have and the more suspicious they will be of the pharmaceutical factory. This will be detrimental to us."
"Let them search once and their doubts will be gone. We can also stay in Chongqing for a few more days and slowly transfer."
After speaking, Li Hao ordered Chen Wei, the commander of the reconnaissance company on the side: "Let comrades seize the time to rest. Our march will be accelerated tonight."
"We have to get to the pharmaceutical factory tomorrow night. We can't wait there any longer."
The Ministry of Military Affairs was very quick, and the next morning, a group of military police led by a major general appeared at the entrance of the pharmaceutical factory.
"Battalion Commander Xiao, this is a search warrant, issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs. You can search the pharmaceutical factory today, right?" the major general leading the team said with his head held high and an arrogant look on his face.
He also led the team over the previous two times, but both times failed and were pushed back by the Americans.
I had suppressed my anger, and now that I had a search warrant, my waist was straighter than before, and I wanted to see what other tricks the other party could use to get me out.
Disappointedly, the punch he punched unexpectedly hit the cotton.
Xiao Yuan did not accept the call at all, and the expected objection did not appear. Instead, he answered readily.
"Can!"
However, Xiao Yuan was not a loser. He changed the topic and added: "However, a lot of equipment in the pharmaceutical factory is purchased from the United States. If it is damaged during your search, the pharmaceutical factory will stop production. You
There is no medicine for the Ministry of Military Affairs. So search is search, and be sure not to damage the equipment. Otherwise, you will lose your official hat and you will not be able to take responsibility."
"You!" The majesty of the major general was suppressed by Xiao Yuan's words.
I want to get angry but I can't.
What Xiao Yuan said was true. The troops could not do without penicillin. If the production of penicillin was stopped due to his search today, and frontline soldiers died because there was no medicine available, he would indeed not be able to bear this responsibility.
After forcibly suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Listen carefully, please be careful when searching for a while. You can't give up every corner, and you can't destroy every brick in the pharmaceutical factory, especially the equipment.
, try not to touch it."
"If something really happens, I will definitely kill you first when I am disgraced as an official."
"Yes, sir……"
More than two hundred gendarmes answered at the same time, but their voices were as low as mosquitoes.
Since I became a military policeman, I have always been aloof and aloof, and I have never encountered anything like this.
Instead, the search force suppressed the people being searched, which made them very dissatisfied with the major general leading the team.
If there hadn't been a military order, I would have thought of turning around and leaving.
