Chapter 297 Commander's Pressure

As soon as Zhou Liang left, Li Hao stopped Hong Linfeng, who was also planning to leave.

"Lao Hong, the defense platoon and the weapons and ammunition we seized from the Watanabe Brigade are still here!"

"Still!" Hong Linfeng replied!

"The troops are too busy. I plan to start sending them to the secret camp tomorrow!"

Li Hao nodded and thought for a moment before continuing to ask: "How many mules and horses did we bring back in total?"

"Excluding those taken away by the artillery platoon, there are still thirty-two horses in the station!" A trace of confusion quickly flashed across Hong Linfeng's face. He didn't understand why Li Hao suddenly talked about logistics and equipment that had nothing to do with the topic just now, but

Still answered quickly.

"That's almost enough!" Li Hao affirmed.

Then he began to issue orders, explaining Hong Linfeng's inner doubts.

"Let the garrison platoon get ready. I want them to go to the military division and set off tonight!"

"Thirty-two mules and horses are also ready. Each mules and horses carry five boxes of 65-caliber bullets, a total of ten thousand rounds. Lao Hong, you can take out one hundred boxes of 200,000 rounds of ammunition from the seizure, and use twenty mules to

Lucky horse and camel!”

"Each mules and horses can also carry five boxes of heavy machine gun bullets, for a total of 7,500 rounds. You prepare 20 boxes of 30,000 rounds and use four mules and horses to transport them!"

"Prepare thirty boxes of three hundred mortar shells and transport them on six mules and camels!"

"There are two mules, horses and camel weapons left, two mortars, five crooked handles, and fifty rifles are ready!"

"The garrison platoon escorted thirty-two mules and horses loaded with weapons and ammunition, set off overnight on a small road, rushed to the military branch station, handed these weapons and ammunition to the commander, and also sent a summary report of our operations during this period to the military branch.

Go over and ask the military division to appoint a new instructor for our independent company as soon as possible!"

"Dong Xulin is good at political work, but as an instructor, he is not good enough to be on his own!"

"What I mean is to let him act as the instructor temporarily. After the real instructor takes office, let him be the deputy instructor and get more experience!"

The seized weapons and ammunition were turned over to the military division. Hong Linfeng had no objection at all and was very much in favor.

But he couldn't understand why the company commander was so anxious and didn't wait until the counter-mopping operation was completely completed before handing it over.

Now that the base area is full of little Japs, the garrison platoon is a mobile unit of an independent company in addition to the guard platoon. It will take at least two days to return from this trip.

This means that there will be no mobile troops for two days after the independent connection. If an accident occurs, it will be too dangerous.

Immediately reminded: "Company Commander, do you want to wait until the counter-mopping up is over before sending it up!"

Li Hao didn't know Hong Linfeng's worries. He sighed and replied: "We can wait, but the military division cannot wait!"

"The military division is expanding its troops too fast, and the Japanese and puppet troops are so strong. For the ambush battle last night, I can guarantee that the military division must have put down all the wealth!"

"If you win, you can not only replenish all the consumption, but also seize a large number of weapons and ammunition, killing two birds with one stone!"

"However, the troops retreated hastily before the ambush was completed."

"Although we also killed the Jin Qianri Puppet Army, it was all paid for by the Military Division with all our wealth!"

"Now the family is completely empty, and the Japanese and puppet troops have not been completely wiped out, and no weapons and ammunition have been seized. The pressure on the military division must be very high. Even if there are fighter planes in front of them, the troops will not dare to fight because they do not have enough ammunition!"

"Although the military division did not mention this issue in the telegram, you can guess the foundation of the military division!"

The atmosphere at the military division headquarters was very depressing.

Several staff officers were very careful in doing the work at hand, and then glanced at the commander standing in front of the map from time to time, not daring to say a word.

"I want to shoot this battalion commander. If he hadn't held his position and the puppet troops suddenly arrived on the battlefield for more than 500 days, we would have won the entire ambush and there would never have been a hasty retreat!" the commander yelled.

This was the fifth time he had said this today, but he was still angry and angry.

The chief of staff hesitated for a moment and comforted him: "Commander, this battalion commander has already died. He was killed by a Japanese gunshot. Not even a body was left behind!"

"Also, I don't think it's all his fault that the troops failed to hold their position!"

"New recruits are afraid of artillery, and veterans are afraid of machine guns. The proportion of recruits in this battalion is too large, almost 80%!"

"Although there were not many Japanese and puppet troops attacking them, they brought two mountain cannons and six mortars!"

"The battalion commander died. Faced with the artillery fire from the Japs, it's a miracle that the recruits were able to hold on for an hour!"

"Although the ambush targets were not completely wiped out, nearly a thousand people were killed and injured after all! According to the scout's report, the Japanese and puppet troops who came in as reinforcements spent the whole day yesterday just cleaning the battlefield!"

"Then we spent a whole night cremating the corpses, and we left the battlefield this morning. Nearly three squadrons of five hundred little devils were killed. This is already a great victory!"

The commander shook his head and replied: "Even if it is a victory, it is a loss-making victory!"

"Chief of Staff, look at this. I asked the two captains and the logistics department to just put it together!"

"Due to the hasty retreat and no time to clean the battlefield, our ambush the night before yesterday achieved nothing except killing and wounding nearly a thousand puppet troops, and not even a single bullet was captured!"

"For this ambush, we have put all the family members in the military subdivision at risk."

"Not a single bullet has been recovered yet. Do you think this is a loss-making business?"

"Look at the statistics just compiled. The logistics department of the entire military division searched and found only 10,000 rounds of ammunition, and there were several different calibers mixed together. There were 200 hand grenades and not a single artillery shell!"

"The First Brigade, the well-deserved main force of our military division, successfully retreated, and ordinary soldiers only had less than thirty rounds of ammunition and one grenade left in their hands."

"The second brigade blocks the attack and consumes more ammunition!"

"There are less than twenty rounds of ammunition left per person, and only half of the soldiers still have grenades!"

"Even if we encounter fighter planes next, this little ammunition won't be able to support us in fighting the Japanese!"

The chief of staff also frowned: "This is indeed a big problem!"

"And it is a big problem that must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise we will be too passive in the subsequent counter-mopping up!"

After saying that, the headquarters became quiet again.

The two of them frowned and stood in front of the map, thinking hard and thinking about solutions.

They don't know how long it took, but the excited voice of the guard company commander brought them back to reality.

"Commander, Chief of Staff, Lingqiu Independent Company is here, and they are bringing a lot of ammunition!"

The chief of staff had not recovered yet, and frowned and asked: "Don't they have a radio? And they just sent a telegram to the military subdivision yesterday, and they didn't mention that anyone would come over. Could it be a mistake?"

The commander should respond faster.

Staring at the guard company commander, he asked: "You just said that the troops sent by the independent company also brought a lot of ammunition!"

"Yes, a total of one platoon of escort troops brought with them thirty-two mules and horses, each of which was equipped with a large amount of weapons and ammunition."

"I specially asked the third platoon leader who went to the independent company last time to see it. He knows the platoon leader leading the team. He must be from the independent company!"

The commander suddenly realized and shouted: "Chief of Staff, I probably understand!"

"The Independent Company is here to help us in times of need!"

"There were too many people to contact by sending telegrams, and the base area was full of Japs, so it was unsafe. So Li Hao did not inform us through telegrams, but sent people directly to give us a surprise!"

"Thirty-two mules and horses loaded with weapons and ammunition, at least hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition!"

“This big problem we are facing has been solved in one fell swoop!”

"No, I want to see these weapons and ammunition in person!"
