The change of expression on Hong Linfeng's face was not hidden from Li Hao, but he did not explain it!
Such a big issue cannot be explained clearly in just a few words!
But Li Hao believes in his own judgment and vision!
He frowned and ordered: "Chief of Staff, execute the order!"
"Even if we lose this operation, we won't lose anything, so don't worry!"
"Immediately arrange for manpower to dismantle large and small equipment in the mining area, especially power generation equipment and motors, which must be protected. They are the heart of our arsenal and must be returned to the base safely!"
"As for how to send it back and how we will fight the next battle, I will solve it!"
If Li Hao makes up his mind, even ten horses can't pull him back!
Although he was still full of doubts, facing Li Hao's decisive order, Hong Linfeng finally chose to execute it unconditionally!
"Don't worry, captain, I will organize troops to evacuate the mine now!"
"Many workers in the army have used these devices. They must know how to dismantle them without destroying them and ensure that the mission is completed before dawn!"
Li Hao continued to order: "Besides dismantling the equipment, you have to do one more thing!"
"Screen the newly rescued Kuangong, the Eighth Route Army soldiers among the Kuangong and others they guarantee to be trustworthy, and directly issue weapons to replenish the troops!"
"Others are mobilizing on the spot, and all political cadres in the regiment are taking action!"
"Next we are going to attack Datong. The last thing our troops are afraid of is the large number of people!"
Eighth Route Army Headquarters!
"Bang bang bang..."
The rapid knocking on the door woke the deputy commander from his sleep!
"Come in!"
The deputy commander rubbed his eyes to try to stay awake, and then ordered!
"Boss!" the deputy chief of staff walked in nervously and excitedly!
"I just received a secret message from Li Hao of the garrison. This kid can't live in peace wherever he goes, and he has found something for us to do!"
"It must be a good thing!" The deputy commander saw through his old partner's little thoughts at a glance!
The deputy chief of staff affirmed: "The boss is wise, which is a good thing, and it is also a great good thing!"
"Didn't the garrison regiment go to Datong? Not only did they capture five coal mines in a row, they also used the terrain to defeat them one by one, killing more than a thousand little Japs!"
"But Comrade Li Hao is not satisfied yet, and now he is eyeing Datong City again!"
"He wants the headquarters to take the lead and work with the northern Shanxi base area to capture Datong!"
"According to intelligence, the Japanese army has stockpiled a brigade's combat supplies in Datong City for nearly a year, with more than five million light rifle bullets, as well as a large amount of food and other supplies!"
"Li Hao promised in the telegram: To capture Datong, he will not want any weapons or bullets in the city, but only the armory and ammunition factory built by the Japanese in Datong City!"
The deputy commander’s eyes instantly became hot!
He stared closely at his old partner and asked: "How sure is Li Hao!"
"At least 70%, that's what he said in the telegram!" The deputy chief of staff knew that the boss was moved and quickly answered!
The deputy commander's eyes lit up and he shouted: "He said that if he is 70% sure, then the probability of success of this matter is at least 80%!"
"As subordinates, when reporting, they will definitely take all unfavorable factors into consideration to prevent accidents! So when reporting, they usually underreport the amount by 10%!"
"I'm 80% sure of winning the same city. I don't know where this guy Li Hao got his confidence, but I choose to believe in him!"
"Boss, do you agree?" The deputy chief of staff agreed with this action from the bottom of his heart. Seeing the boss's heartbeat, he immediately asked while the iron was hot!
"That's millions of rounds of ammunition, enough to feed tens of thousands of people for a year, as well as mountains of other supplies! These seizures alone are enough for us to give it a try. There is no reason to disagree!" the deputy commander affirmed!
road!
"If these seizures are used to replenish the Northwestern Shanxi Military Region and Yan'an, the equipment level and combat effectiveness of the tens of thousands of Eighth Route Army troops in the two areas will definitely increase!"
"And the garrison!"
"The things that Li Hao can take a liking to are definitely not that different!"
"According to the report of Wang Hong, political commissar of the garrison: Li Hao has set up a small repair shop in the base area, and the equipment was all seized through coal mining!"
“Although the conditions are very simple and a lot of the equipment was pieced together and assembled by myself, this repair shop is not bad at all!”
"Although the remaining troops of the garrison have entered the mountains, the repair shop has never stopped production!"
"I heard that they can not only repair various light weapons now, but also develop propellant for bullets and start reloading bullets in small batches!"
"If my guess is correct, Li Hao wants to take back all the equipment from the Datong Japanese Armory and Ammunition Factory, and directly set up an arsenal to produce weapons and ammunition by himself!"
"Building our own arsenal is what our Eighth Route Army dreams of!"
"Now every base area is trying to set up arsenals to produce their own weapons and ammunition!"
"Now that Li Hao has discovered that such a good opportunity is in front of us, we must not miss it. We can't let him slip away at any cost!"
"Reply a telegram to the garrison immediately: the headquarters agrees with his plan!"
Under the cover of night, three commandos of the commando team protected two telegraph operators and walked through the woods like ghosts!
"Team leader, there is a forest ahead. The Japanese blockade is on the edge of the forest. There is a blockhouse five hundred meters away. There is a stronghold in the middle of the three blockhouses. Searchlights are also installed to illuminate the surrounding area. The troops want to cross the blockade.
The line is very difficult!" A commando who went out for reconnaissance ran back and replied with a serious look on his face!
The team leader responded confidently: "For ordinary troops, searchlights and gun towers are big problems that prevent us from passing the blockade! But for our commandos, such blockades do not have much effect and are in name only!"
"First give disguises to the two telegraph operators. After they have finished disguising ourselves, we will then cross the blockade from the middle of the two turrets!"
Half an hour later, five people appeared behind the bushes 500 meters away from the blockade!
Each of the five warriors was covered with thatch and wore a thatch hat on their head. They walked like a straw man!
"The Japanese searchlight will scan between the two turrets every half a minute. They will obey my orders when they cross the blockade!" After looking at the blockade for a few minutes, the team leader analyzed it with a serious look!
"Two of you, one of you is protecting the telegraph operator. When you see me giving the stop signal, cover the operator and get down!"
"I observed carefully. The whole road is covered with thatch. Although the Japanese have cleared all the blockades, the thatch is not clean!"
"Our bodies are covered with thatch, and we also wear thatched hats on our heads. As long as we lie down and don't move, the thatch hanging on our bodies can make us blend into the surrounding environment, even if the little devil's searchlight shines on us.
They can’t find us either!”
"Do you all know your mission? Check your disguise one last time to make sure there are no loopholes, and then set off!"
As soon as the huge searchlight pole passed by everyone's eyes, the five people set off!
After advancing less than thirty meters, the team leader decisively made a stop signal and lay down on the ground!
The two team members covered the operator and lay on the ground together!
It turned out that the closer the lamppost got, the darker the color remained unchanged except for the three commandos. The faces of the two telegraph operators had turned pale and very nervous!
This is definitely their first time participating in such a thrilling mission!
If the enemy has a searchlight, can he really protect himself if he is covered with a layer of thatch?
The two of them have no confidence at all!
Once the thatch on your back fails and you are discovered by the Japs! The Japs in the turret will definitely shoot at everyone!
Facing the machine gun fire coming from above, there was no place to hide, and there was only one result waiting for everyone: they were shot to pieces by bullets on the spot!
Fortunately, it turned out to be a false alarm!
The lamppost didn't stop at all as it swept across everyone's back, and continued to sweep behind everyone!
At this time, the clothes on the backs of the two operators were soaked with cold sweat!
Before I could react from my lingering fear, the leader of the assault team moved!
He got up from the ground very carefully and made a gesture to keep going!
The five people kept repeating the same actions, and it took half an hour to cross the more than 500-meter blockade!
"Take off all the disguises and let's move on!"
After successfully crossing the blockade, the two operators had not yet calmed down from their nervousness. The command from the leader of the assault team was already ringing in their ears!
"In front of us is our Eighth Route Army's northwest Shanxi base. Wearing a disguise can easily misunderstand you!"
"Don't die in the hands of the little devils when the time comes, and end up dying in the hands of your own people. That would be such a loss!"
The five people walked forward for less than ten minutes when a loud shout rang in their ears!
"Don't move. Don't kill until you turn your gun on!"
Ten Eighth Route Army soldiers strode out from the nearby woods, rifles broken in their hands, looking wary at everyone!
"Don't move, it's one of our own!" the leader of the assault team quickly reminded his subordinates who wanted to fight back!
Then obediently raise your hands and let the other party disarm you!
"Who are you?"
After confirming that the five people could not be a threat, the squad leader asked!
"Hello, comrades, we are also the Eighth Route Army, and we have been ordered to cross the Japanese blockade to contact you!"
"We need to keep the specific identity secret for the time being, but I can tell you that we have captured several coal mines controlled by the Japanese in Datong in recent days!"
Seeing that the team leader was doubtful, the team leader continued: "You can take us to see your leader, and I can reveal my identity when we meet your leader!"
"In addition, we also brought a radio station, and we can also confirm our identity through the radio station!"
"We are definitely the Eighth Route Army, not the Japs, nor the Jin-Sui Army!"
The monitor who led the team still had an expression of disbelief.
Their equipment is so good, they each have a submachine gun, three magazines, and they carry at least a hundred rounds of ammunition and three grenades on their backs!
He also watched the radio, and it was at least 80% new!
In his impression, even the regimental security company and the military division chief's security force did not have such good equipment!
