Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 300, Chapter 299, The Brigade Commander’s Arrangements.

The brigade commander is a wise man! The fact that he could calm down Li Yunlong, whose brain works faster than a wheel, shows that our brigade commander's brain works even faster.

So, after lamenting the battle in the north, the brigade commander quickly called the signalman over and said, "You, immediately send a telegram to the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Detachment and the 772nd Regiment. Tell them: Immediately stop the sabotage activities against the highway and ensure the highway traffic from Laiyuan Town to the Nanguan stronghold! Remember, it's the highway! Continue to destroy the railway."

"Also, after sending this telegram, immediately send another telegram to the 772nd Regiment, asking them to send out their most capable battalion, carrying chili incendiary bombs, to participate in the attack on the North Gate!"

The signalman went to send a telegram, and the brigade commander finally breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the puzzled staff members beside him and said, "Don't understand? Then I'll tell you. Laiyuan Town has been captured, which means that the various supplies stored in Laiyuan Town have become our spoils of war. If you want to bring these spoils back, the fastest and most appropriate way is to take the road from Laiyuan Town to Nanguan!"

"But Brigade Commander, how much spoils can the northern team take away with just the more than a thousand people? Unless they have a car! Even if they seized a car in Laiyuan Town, there would be no driver who can drive, right? Maybe they can seize some horse-drawn carriages or something, so they can take more away! You see, the guerrillas' war horses and pack horses are all at our brigade headquarters." Chief of Staff Zhou said.

"As far as I know, there are more than a dozen truck drivers in the replenishment brigade! These drivers were selected from the captured puppet soldiers. These puppet soldiers originally followed the Central Army and drove cars in the Central Army. Later, their superiors surrendered to the enemy and became traitors, so they followed them and became puppet soldiers. Later, they were defeated and captured..." said the brigade commander.

"That's true! Haha, there is a car squadron in Laiyuan Town, with hundreds of trucks going back and forth. If we can really seize a dozen trucks and bring them here, it will be more than ten tons of supplies!" Director Su was even happier when he said this: "Don't worry about what can be brought back? Even if all they bring is food, it will be enough for us to eat for a while! No, I have to send a telegram to ask the north."

The telegram soon reached Laiyuan Town, and naturally Captain Gao and his men contacted them. Li Yuexuan himself was in the enemy's base, serving as a military doctor again.

That's right, he became a military doctor again, taking the guerrillas' four medical soldiers and the medical staff of the Special Company and the Supplementary Brigade to treat the comrades who were wounded in the battle.

Because it was an offensive battle, and an offensive battle with little real-time communication capabilities, there were naturally casualties. The spearhead squad of the Special Company had 11 soldiers, and in the end only squad leader Wang and Su Xiaoxiao were still able to fight. The remaining 7 soldiers died, one was hit by a heavy machine gun bullet in the leg, and one had a hole in the shoulder from a crooked handle, losing a large piece of flesh.

It was not just this spearhead squad. When the main force of the Special Company 1 attacked, some casualties were also suffered in the civil war and the battle for the artillery tower. Even the heavy machine gun platoon on the western mountain suffered casualties from the enemy's counterattack fire. In addition, the Mobile Company 1 also encountered sporadic resistance during the attack. There were traitors hiding in the homes of the people, and several soldiers were killed and injured by the black guns.

Therefore, in the office of the Japanese stronghold, Li Yuexuan used the newly seized medical kit and various surgical tools to treat the seriously injured. For example, the soldier who was shot in the thigh had to undergo amputation because there was no way and no time to fix the broken bones with steel needles, splints or plaster.

Although it is cruel, it can save a life! The time and resources saved can also be used to rescue other wounded people.

However, none of the soldiers present felt that losing a leg was a cruel thing. They all felt that they were lucky to have a military doctor present and receive immediate treatment after being injured. Especially the squad leader Qian, who had his leg amputated, said with a smile: "I am still alive and I still have my arm. It's just that I lost a leg! Give me a gun and put me in the trench, and I can still fight!"

Hearing what Squad Leader Qian said, Li Yuexuan couldn't help but think of the later battle for the founding of the country, when a blind soldier carried a soldier with a broken leg on his back and charged at the Eagle Sauce...

The arrival of two consecutive command telegrams from the 772nd Regiment made Captain Guo a little confused. What was going on? But unlike Li Yunlong, the first thing he did was to let the signal soldiers ride on their horses and rush north to pass the order to the team that destroyed the roads and railways. Then he selected another battalion and sent it to the north gate.

Finally, he sent a telegram back to the brigade, asking what had happened? He needed to know the details.

The brigade commander was very easy to talk to this trusted and beloved general, and he immediately sent him a reply telegram: Laiyuan Town has been captured, and supplies need to be transported by road!
"Laiyuan Town... this is also a big stronghold. How could it be taken down just like that? Why does it feel unreal? Forget it, Nanguan has been easily taken down, and Laiyuan Town is not unacceptable."

Then, another warhorse ran out of the stronghold and galloped towards the north, informing the soldiers along the way of the news. After knowing the news, the soldiers of the destruction team who were still reluctantly filling the pit immediately accelerated the speed of filling the pit.

"Whoever digs it should bury it! This is the first time we build a road for the Japanese!" A soldier made a joke.

"If the road is built because of this situation, I would rather build it several times!" A soldier took over the conversation.

Laiyuan Town was taken, and the pressure at this time was invisibly pressed on the independent regiment and the second battalion of the independent detachment. The independent regiment was better off, as long as they blocked the Japanese from going north at the watershed, everything would be fine. But the second battalion was facing a problem: the strongholds in the south and the north were all taken down, and only your small stronghold in the middle of the north was still there, right? ?

Therefore, he also quickened the tempo of the attack. The soldiers of the spearhead squad held the explosive packs fearlessly and, under the cover of their comrades' firepower, broke through the Japanese's fire blockade and blew up the bunkers one by one.

The battle was going on like this, and Laiyuan Town finally made a simple statistics.

"In this battle, we eliminated 379 Japanese troops, 138 puppet troops, 13 hidden traitors, and captured 26 surrendered puppet soldiers. The next step is to seize the spoils: according to statistics, we seized a Japanese grain warehouse, which contained countless rice, and we haven't finished counting it yet; we seized a Japanese oil depot, which was full of gasoline and diesel barrels; we seized an armory, which contained bullets..."
