"How many of us are left?" the team leader hesitated for a long time before asking this question.
"There are less than fifty people left!" the subordinate replied with his head lowered, his face full of heartache.
The team leader was confused and shouted with surprise: "Why are there only these few people left? Where are the others?"
"They are all dead. Some died in the attack, and some died in the hands of the enemies who sneaked up on us from behind!" the subordinate replied.
After a few seconds of silence, he bravely suggested: "Sir, we can't fight anymore."
"If reinforcements from the factory protection team come over, we will be completely eaten if we can't hold on for even five minutes!"
"Also, the reinforcements are coming from the squadron leader's main attack direction. The gunfire there is getting weaker and weaker. Something must have happened."
"If we don't leave, something will happen to us, and everyone will have to answer here."
"Retreat!" the squad leader ordered decisively without hesitation.
Everyone heard the increasingly weaker gunshots from the main attack direction. If the squadron leader won the battle, there would be no way for the factory protection team to come over from that direction.
So there was probably an accident at the squadron leader's place.
The squadron leader has more than a hundred people at his disposal, as well as heavy machine guns and mortars to provide fire support. He can't defeat the factory protection team, let alone himself without heavy weapons.
Agents also do not undergo systematic military training.
After receiving the order to retreat, they did not care about their formation or cover. They turned around and ran away, hoping to escape from this battlefield full of death.
I was deeply afraid that if I ran too slowly, I would be the next one to be beaten to death.
The squad leader, protected by his two confidants, retreated among the team.
"Da da da……"
Just after running more than ten meters, a series of gunshots rang out in front of him.
Glancing forward, his face turned white.
Five tongues of fire suddenly appeared on the road everyone must take to retreat.
Under the darkness of night, the flying bullets were like meteors, flying towards everyone in dense numbers.
As quickly as possible, a dozen of his subordinates retreated without saying a word and fell to the ground.
A few holes with blood leaking out meant that they had been shot several times and were beaten directly into a sieve.
"Enemies have appeared around us. They are all equipped with submachine guns and have strong firepower. They will definitely not be able to rush through them." The team leader shouted with the last bit of reason.
"Da da da... bang bang bang..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the familiar sound of gunfire rang out again.
This time the gunfire came from behind, not only light machine guns, but also rifles, and there were quite a few of them.
"Sir, the factory protection team that blocked us just now rushed out of their position and came towards us."
The squad leader's face turned even paler, and he shouted out loud: "Bageya Road, they are planning to attack us from both front and back and annihilate us all here."
"We break out in separate groups, and if we can get out one person at a time, we can do so alone."
"The pharmaceutical factory is much stronger than we thought. Even if the regular troops come to kill them, even a single brigade will definitely not be able to defeat them."
"Those who rush out must report this situation to their superiors. We must not act rashly against the pharmaceutical factory again. Otherwise, no matter how many people we dispatch, we will lose as many people as possible, and we will not gain any advantage."
It’s obviously too late to understand this truth now.
Most of the commando team intercepted them head-on, and two teams from the second squadron of the factory protection team followed and pursued them.
There were only more than forty agents left, and in the blink of an eye, the number dropped sharply to more than twenty.
Not only that, the two troops had formed an encirclement around them, blocking them all inside.
In particular, most of the commando units not only intercepted, they also took the initiative to attack.
Under the cover of night, they walked through the bushes like monkeys, grabbing fire whenever they could and shooting a string of bullets at the target.
Two snipers were hiding in the darkness, rifles in hand, searching for targets.
When the squad leader gave the order, he unconsciously became the focus of all the agents and also attracted the attention of the two snipers.
Command exit, just showing up and preparing to move.
"Bang bang..."
Two gunshots rang out fifty meters away.
The squad leader seemed to have received a heavy punch and fell to the ground with a groan.
The bloody hole in his chest had begun to bleed out.
His eyes were wide open, with a dead-eyed expression on his face.
After the last gunfire stopped, the battlefield became completely quiet.
Several squadron leaders from the factory protection team gathered next to Li Hao one after another to report on the battle situation.
"The battle ended in less than an hour, everyone fought well!" Li Hao said with satisfaction.
"If nothing else happens, the nearby garrison will arrive in half an hour."
"I request that all traces of the commando's participation in the war be wiped out within half an hour. When the garrison arrives, I will tell them that the agents outside the pharmaceutical factory were killed by the factory protection team. At the same time, I also need the garrison to give our pharmaceutical factory a
Explain."
"The little devils gathered four to five hundred people to attack us under their noses. They had more than 400 spears, as well as heavy weapons such as heavy machine guns and mortars. They are all shit eaters. So many enemies gathered together.
Didn't you find out in advance?"
"If they attack not our pharmaceutical factory tonight, but a certain military point in Chongqing, or a senior officer, I am sure that the little devil's action will be successful. By then, all the officers stationed nearby will have their heads turned upside down.
Moved because of this."
"So they have to give us an explanation."
"Xiao Yuan, you immediately send someone to contact Jack and tell him the situation here, and go to the Military and Political Department to protest at dawn."
"We sold them penicillin at cost price to support the Anti-Japanese War. They can't even provide us with a good production environment. How can the pharmaceutical factory produce it?"
"In addition, in the battle just now, our factory protection team eliminated so many spies. Logically speaking, these are what the nearby garrison should do. This is equivalent to us helping them and doing part-time work. They should give
Let’s make some compensation.”
"My requirements are not high, just two in total!"
"First, give some rewards to all the members of the factory protection team who participated in the battle, and provide compensation for the casualties."
"Secondly, since we are not all grudges about leaving the army, I will take this opportunity to ask the Ministry of Military Affairs to create a structure to transform the factory protection team into a garrison battalion, specifically responsible for the garrison tasks around the pharmaceutical factory."
"Since the nearby garrison is unreliable, we have to rely on ourselves."
Xiao Yuan's eyes lit up, and he stared at Li Hao and asked: "Captain, you asked Jack to go to the Military and Political Department tomorrow to protest, saying that the safety conditions here are too poor and we can't produce. There should be other purposes!"
Li Hao didn't hide anything: "Not bad."
"As the old saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket."
"The same goes for the pharmaceutical factory. It is now our cash cow and the hope of all the seriously injured people on the front line. If there is an accident, our losses will be huge."
"I plan to use this opportunity to build a branch factory for our pharmaceutical factory, and the factory will be located in Xi'an."
"It is the real rear area with convenient transportation and is very suitable for us to build a pharmaceutical factory."
Li Hao still had one thing he didn't say, which was to build the plank road openly and covertly to visit Chen Cang.
On the surface, they established a branch of a pharmaceutical factory in Xi'an, but secretly sent some equipment to Yan'an, where they secretly produced penicillin.
Xi'an is very close to the border area. As long as the equipment arrives in Xi'an, the superiors will definitely have a way to send it to the border area.
