Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 261 Chapter 260, bury it and plant a jujube tree!
In the tunnel, the telephone line was connected. Li Yunlong picked up the phone himself and talked to the brigade commander.

"Yes, I am Li Yunlong... Hello, Brigade Commander!" Li Yunlong stood in front of the phone, like a primary school student listening obediently to his teacher.

"Li Yunlong, how is the battle going on your side?" The brigade commander was in a good mood when he heard Li Yunlong's voice over the phone from the guerrillas.

"Report to the brigade commander, we... my three main battalions are now cleaning up the battlefield, and the supplementary battalion is following the special forces company to fight the Japanese truck convoy! Hey, brigade commander, do you want me to leave a truck for you as your exclusive vehicle?" Li Yunlong had won the battle and dared to joke with the brigade commander.

"I don't need a carriage. I have a chestnut horse that's good enough to ride! I tell you, Li Yunlong, be humble and calm! Don't forget your last name just because you won a battle! Also, send all my mountain artillery, infantry artillery and artillery shells to the brigade headquarters immediately! Send those decoding books and radios directly to the headquarters! Um... wait a minute!" The brigade commander looked at the map and continued.

"The 772nd Regiment has already arrived near Ping'an County. You should contact them directly and hand over all these things to them! You have fought several battles in a row. Let the soldiers take a break and recover their strength! Also, pick up the weapons and ammunition that can be used and assemble a battalion's worth of equipment for me. Then hand them over to the 772nd Regiment in one piece!"

"What? Hand over the equipment of a battalion of the 772nd Regiment? Isn't this inappropriate, Brigade Commander?" Li Yunlong said somewhat unhappily.

"Follow orders!" The brigade commander's voice was a little serious: "You kid don't even calculate, how much equipment did you seize this time? These equipments are more than enough to arm a main regiment. The equipment you were asked to give to the 772nd Regiment will be distributed to the independent detachment! The rest of the equipment will be used to arm the independent regiment, and the rest will be used to improve the weapons and equipment of your new regiment!" said the brigade commander.

"No, brigade commander, what about the guerrillas? Can't you leave some for them?" Li Yunlong asked back.

"Leave the equipment and ammunition of a main company to the guerrillas! Stop talking nonsense to me, how could I forget the meritorious officials? By the way, can you tell Zhao Danian for me, haven't they just been equipped with two 82 mortars? I will find two of the best artillerymen from the division artillery regiment to send them. They are the favorite disciples of the great gunner Director Zhao!" said the brigade commander.

"Come on, a higher-ranking official can crush people. You are the brigade commander, and you have the final say!" Boss Li Yunlong said unhappily.

"Li Yunlong, listen to me! After you hand over the things to the 772nd Regiment, you will stay in Liangjia Village for the remaining days. Help the comrades in Liangjia Village to clean up the Japanese corpses and help them consolidate their positions to guard against the Japanese counterattack! Also, our comrades on the secret front have set up observation posts around the Japanese military airport. Once the Japanese bombers take off, news will come out! So, keep your radio on all day. Once the Japanese intend to bomb Liangjia Village, I will notify you immediately! Okay, hang up!" said the brigade commander.

"Yes, Brigade Commander!" Li Yunlong stood at attention and hung up the phone.

When he came out of the tunnel, a large group of several hundred people came from the west, carrying boxes of supplies towards Liangjia Village. When Li Yunlong arrived at the west entrance of the village, he saw Niu Youtian carrying a bag of rice and walking towards him with sweat all over his face.

"Captain..." Niu Youtian put down the rice bag on his back, took a deep breath and said, "This won't do, commander. Our comrades in the supplementary battalion have been carrying things and running away these days without any combat experience! You have to think of a way to let the supplementary battalion fight a battle!"

"Didn't you go to attack the convoy? Didn't you participate in this battle?" Li Yunlong said to the soldiers of the supplementary battalion who looked aggrieved. "It was this kid Wei Daming! The Japanese convoys were parked in the shade of the trees, and the Japanese drivers were all there to enjoy the cool air. As a result, Wei Daming led the special forces company to shoot and kill them all! When we rushed over, all we had to do was clean up the battlefield! Don't you think this is bullying the honest people?" Niu Youtian said in a half-joking tone.

"Haha, this... well, I'll find a chance later and let you have a good fight! How about the spoils of this convoy?" Li Yunlong asked.

"You know what, commander, this convoy is really big! There are 57 trucks, 17 of which are carrying supplies, and the rest are empty! Look, there are several thousand kilograms of rice alone!" said Niu Youtian.

"Haha, the Japanese were eating this themselves, but they didn't expect that this would be a good deal for us! Okay, send it all to the village and let Captain Zhao arrange it!" Li Yunlong no longer cared about the current spoils. After all, they had to be sent out. The more he knew, the more upset he felt.

However, his indifference does not mean that other comrades do not care about this matter! Even if these captured items have to be handed over to the organization, we are happy to have them in our hands, right? Of course, the necessary records must be kept, and everything must be accounted for. Moreover, the guerrillas, the first company, and the new first regiment must have an account, and they must be consistent.

The supplementary battalion was responsible for delivering the supplies seized by the convoy to the village, while the comrades from the first, second, and third battalions were responsible for cleaning the battlefield and counting the supplies of the first group of Japanese soldiers. The comrades from the first company were also busy. They asked Master Chen to choose a location under the hillside on the east side of the village, and they started digging a pit with various tools! That's right, this was to bury the Japanese soldiers.

There were pits being dug in the east of the village, and also on the hillside to the west of the village. It was still a place chosen by Taoist Chen, and the guard company of the new regiment was asked to come and work.

After the pit was dug, the looted Japanese corpses were thrown into the pit one by one, and then filled with soil, so that many large mounds of earth appeared under the hillside. Well, there were hundreds or thousands of Japanese, and even if they were buried separately, the mounds of earth were not small. Moreover, in line with the principle of waste utilization, the comrades also dug some of the sour jujube trees that were grafted this year on the mountain and planted them on the graves!

"Okay, now that the Japanese are buried, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief! These flies flying all over the sky are really annoying!" In the village, Zhao Danian sighed as he looked at the mound of earth at the foot of the hillside.

"What a pity! The livestock and poultry in the village have been harmed, and so have the bean fields, sweet potato fields, and corn fields! However, a lot of dates will grow there next year!" said Xing Weiguo.

"No matter what, at least we won, right? Although we suffered dozens of casualties, compared with the casualties of the Japanese, we made a huge profit!" Xiao Fengyun said.

"The 772nd Regiment will come over in the evening, right? I really want to meet this heroic team! Should we receive them?" Li Yuexuan admired the 772nd Regiment very much, so he asked this question.
