"Please rest assured, chief, our Lingqiu Anti-Japanese Guerrillas will ensure we complete our mission!" Li Hao assured firmly.
"Counting from the time when the Japanese and puppet troops enter Lingqiu, within ten days, unless all the guerrillas are killed in battle, they will never be able to leave Lingqiu!"
The chief of staff nodded and ordered: "I believe you!"
"It is now five o'clock in the afternoon. Let's prepare dinner immediately. We will go back after dinner. The Japanese and puppet army's attack may start at any time. The fighter planes are changing rapidly. There are too many things going on. We cannot leave the commander alone at the headquarters."
"Also, dinner must be the same as what your guerrillas eat, nothing special!"
"Yes, chief..." Li Hao saluted with a military salute and left the headquarters to make arrangements.
As soon as the task was assigned, the instructor rushed over panting heavily.
When he saw Li Hao, he asked with expectation: "Captain, which military division commander is here and where is it? Maybe it's the commander I met when I was in the Red Army. Take me to meet him quickly!"
"Don't worry yet!" Li Hao shook his head and replied.
"It's the chief of staff of the military division. He's here to assign us combat missions. We'll have dinner with him later, so we have plenty of time to meet!"
"I have something very important to discuss with you, please sit down and take a breath first!"
After drinking all the bowl of water handed over by Li Hao in one gulp, Liu Wenshan calmed down a little.
"Captain, what's going on?"
"How many guns do we still have in hand?" Li Hao asked directly.
Liu Wenshan didn't know why Li Hao would ask such an irrelevant question, but he still answered as usual: "There are not many 38-year-old buildings. They are basically equipped with troops. There are still 36 secret camps and 79-9 rifles."
Because we have been without equipment, the captured ones are piled up in the secret camp. There are 493 in total, there are two models, old and new, very messy, but fortunately they can all be used, otherwise the Japanese will not equip the puppet troops!"
"The Czech-made light machine guns are equipped with firepower, and there are only seven crooked ones left!"
"There are eight grenades left, and there are no others!"
"Where's the ammunition?" Li Hao continued to ask.
"There are more 65-caliber bullets. After excluding those already equipped by each unit, there are still 140,000 rounds left in the secret camp. There are fewer 79-caliber bullets, but only the Czech fire platoon needs them. Including the previous reserves, there are still 40,000 rounds.
More than six thousand rounds!"
"There are still more than 200 grenades, more than 800 hand grenades, 160 rounds of special grenades, a little more mortar shells, 180 rounds, and less than 3,000 rounds of pistol rounds.
!”
"This is all the wealth of our guerrillas. Captain, do you want to use it?" Liu Wenqiang asked after hesitation.
"Not bad!" Li Hao affirmed.
"The equipment in the military division is so poor. Nearly one-third of the soldiers still have swords and spears in their hands. How can they fight against the Japanese? There are also guard troops brought by the chief of staff. They all have old sleeves and rifling.
Even if it's flat, there are even fewer bullets, how can we protect the headquarters!"
"I decided to dedicate some weapons and ammunition to support the military division!"
"Instead of leaving those weapons and ammunition to rust in the secret camp, it is better to support the military divisions in fighting the Japanese!"
"I agree!" Hong Linfeng was the first to agree.
"The security platoon I was hosting had very broken guns. Each platoon could only have two or three rifles!"
"The ammunition is even more pitiful. Even though their bullet belts are bulging, they are actually stuffed with sorghum poles, used to fool the enemy. The real situation is that each person is only equipped with ten bullets and two grenades. This is still
The situation after going out to perform missions after strengthening!"
Liu Wenshan is a veteran of the Red Army and has a very high consciousness. He agreed without hesitation: "I also agree to use these weapons to support military divisions!"
"Then it's settled!" Li Hao replied firmly.
"Instructor, please make arrangements now to transport all the 79-caliber rifles we have in the secret camp here, and bring 30,000 rounds of 79-caliber bullets over here!"
"The 38-year-old Gai brought thirty pieces of ammunition with him, along with three thousand rounds of ammunition, and directly equipped them with the guard platoon brought by the chief of staff!"
"There are six crooked handles, one equipped with the chief of staff's guard platoon, and the remaining five support the military division with the 79 rifles. Each crooked handle is equipped with two thousand rounds of ammunition."
"We won't give grenades and hand grenades. We will give five grenades, each with ten rounds of grenades!"
Liu Wenshan thought for a moment and reminded: "Would you like more 65-caliber bullets? After all, we have 140,000 rounds!"
"Then I will give you another 50,000 rounds. No more will be given!" Li Hao replied.
Then he explained: "The chief of staff came here to assign us a task. Next, our guerrillas will also have a fierce battle to fight. We must have a sufficient amount of ammunition reserves to complete the task!"
A large pot of canned meat stewed with potatoes, a pot of vegetable soup, and a basket of white flour steamed buns were the guerrillas' dinner today.
The chief of staff did not know the usual food situation of the guerrillas, so he frowned when he saw the food on the table.
The military region had just been established and had not yet received the support of the common people. The troops often went hungry because they could not buy food. Even if he was the chief of staff of the headquarters, he was no exception. He usually ate cereals and preserved fruits, and sometimes he even did not have enough cereals.
Compared with the food in the military subdivision, the food in front of me is simply too good. Even when the military subdivision has extra meals, it can't be this good.
The chief of staff subconsciously believed that this was a guerrilla force because he came to do something special.
Just when he was about to curse, Li Hao, who saw the clues, had already taken the lead and said: "Chief, you came at the perfect time. We captured the Hongquan Village stronghold some time ago and seized tens of thousands of kilograms of bare noodles, and several more
Ten boxes of canned meat. The guerrillas have been eating white flour steamed buns, white rice porridge, and canned stew for the past few days... Everyone, sit down and eat. It's cold now, and it won't taste good when it's cold."
One sentence not only explained the origin of the food on the dinner table, but also dispelled the chief of staff's fear that the guerrillas would create something special for him, killing two birds with one stone.
The chief of staff swallowed back the curse words that came to his lips.
He hesitated and confirmed: "Instructor Liu, what your captain said is true!"
Liu Wenshan quickly replied: "Chief, it's true. In addition to food, we also seized hundreds of cotton-padded clothes and military coats. The soldiers have already worn them. We guerrillas don't have to worry about cotton-padded clothes at all for the winter this year!"
"Okay, let's eat!"
The chief of staff no longer worried, sat on the stool and began to feast.
The positioning of the guerrillas in my heart has reached a higher level.
The guerrillas not only have a large number of troops, good equipment, sufficient ammunition, but also very good logistics and supplies, and are fully equipped to be upgraded to the main force.
After quickly finishing a steamed bun, Li Hao hesitated and suggested: "Chief, can you wait here for two more hours after eating? I asked the instructor to prepare some gifts for the military division, and I asked you to take them back with you, chief!"
"
The chief of staff refused without even raising his head: "The commander and I don't want gifts. As long as you guerrillas can fight this battle well, that will be the best gift for the military division!"
Li Hao knew that the chief of staff had misunderstood and regarded the small gift in his mouth as a normal gift, so he quickly explained.
"Chief, this is not an ordinary gift, it is a batch of weapons and ammunition!"
"Our guerrillas have won many battles during this period. Due to our limited strength, many of the captured equipment cannot be used. Instead of leaving it to rust in secret camps, it is better to give it to military divisions to equip the troops in need!"
