Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 306 Chapter 305, Warmth and Coldness
The brigade commander was really worried at this time! Although he had already thought of the current situation when he formulated the combat mission, there is still a difference between thinking about it and doing it!
"I didn't expect that we could implement the best plan this time!" At the temporary brigade headquarters, the brigade commander said to Director Su with a telegram in his hand.

"Yeah, I didn't expect everything to go so smoothly! In one day, we captured three strongholds, seized a large amount of supplies, and destroyed several kilometers of railway lines... The Japanese should be feeling the pain now!" After Director Su finished speaking, he looked at Chief of Staff Zhou and others, and then said, "I will mobilize the masses and try to deliver all the seized supplies into the mountains before dark!"

"Also, don't forget to send a telegram to the headquarters to tell the leaders the good news! I think with this experience, our battle plan to retake Licheng should also enter the implementation stage!"

"Let's go! Don't just sit here! Comrades from the supplementary regiment, leave one battalion here to guard the place. The rest of the comrades, follow the officers from the brigade and immediately mobilize the people around to help move things!" The brigade commander wiped his glasses and continued to pace. At this time, he could no longer stay in the brigade, but he still had to stay here.

"By the way, send a telegram to the independent detachment and ask if they can allocate some personnel to help us transport the spoils." Director Su suggested.

"Okay, now it's time for our brother units to step forward! After all, their 2nd Battalion also participated in the battle, and they got a share of the spoils!" Chief of Staff Zhou said with a smile.

The leaders of the brigade finished their discussion and then went back to their own business. The brigade commander finally stopped walking back and forth and sat down at the table, picked up a pen and paper and began to write a battle report. Since he was going to send a telegram to the headquarters, he should be more detailed so that the headquarters could understand the current strength and equipment of the 386th Brigade and make the most correct judgment.

The telegram quickly arrived at the headquarters, and the long message was translated and handed to the leader.

"Haha..." At the headquarters, the leaders who had read the telegram burst into laughter at the same time.

"This victory came just in time!" said the leader. "Taking three strongholds on the Baijin Railway is like stabbing the Japanese three times in the ribs! Just this time, the Japanese won't be able to repair the railway within a month! After this blow, the Japanese will definitely focus on the Baijin Line."

"In this way, we can leave a small number of troops on the Baijin Line to continuously harass the devils, leaving them no time to estimate other places! And our main force will be concentrated on the Handan-Changzhi Avenue, and we will take out all the strongholds along the way! Especially Zhaodian and Shexian, we will take out all the devils at these two ends, and let this avenue be in our hands!"

"Especially Licheng! To the west is the Zhuozhang River, and to the east is the Qingzhang River. These two rivers flowing down from the north are natural barriers! As long as we cut off the bridge in Zhaodian, it will not be so easy for the Japanese to attack us!"

"I think our future development center may be moved to Licheng! After all, the Japanese have almost reached our current location, so it's time to move!"

"Okay, send a telegram to the 386th Brigade: Order, before dawn tomorrow morning, the captured supplies must be taken away. Leave the replacement regiment behind to cooperate with the independent detachment to continue harassing the White-Jin Line..."

The radio waves were transmitting back and forth, but Li Yuexuan and his team were now slowly driving to the north side of the Nanguan stronghold.

Creak... The cab of the truck was pushed open, and Li Yuexuan jumped down. Then he saw the comrades of the 772nd Regiment waiting on the roadside, staring at the truck bed. "Hello... Commander!" Li Yuexuan saw Commander Guo and hurried over to greet him. Then he said, "Commander, these are the supplies seized from Laiyuan Town. Ask the comrades to move them down quickly. I have to go back! By the way, this car contains our wounded, and some sacrificed soldiers have also been brought back..."

"Very good, thank you for your hard work!" Captain Guo looked at the wet lower bodies of Li Yuexuan and the others, and then said with a smile: "Leave the task of transporting the supplies to us. You have done a great job. You can not only transport but also fight. Haha... We have prepared ginger soup for you. Go and have a sip to warm your body and roast by the fire! Do you have any dry clothes to change into? If not, I will find some for you."

"Report to the regiment commander, we have new clothes in our backpacks! But they are all left at the transport team of the brigade..." Li Yuexuan said awkwardly. Last night, in order to reduce the weight of the march, they handed over their backpacks filled with cotton clothes and quilts to the brigade, and then they traveled lightly.

As a result, at this moment, because of helping out, everyone had to wade through the river and fight in a roundabout way, so their lower bodies were wet... It's November, it's really cold.

When Captain Guo heard this, he also laughed and said, "Don't worry, comrades. We have eliminated many puppet troops in the base and seized a lot of military uniforms. We will bring them to you to change into! Xiaoshu, go and look for some warm pants and shoes. Ask the comrades for the shoe size."

Hearing the call from Captain Guo, a chubby and handsome soldier trotted over and said, "Hello, comrades. I'm the secretary of the regiment. My name is Shu Youtuan. Let's go warm up by the fire first. I'll take care of the rest for you!"

With the warm greeting of Shuyoutuan, Li Yuexuan led the soldiers who had participated in the battle before to a dilapidated village nearby and found the kitchen team in a half-collapsed house.

"Alas, this village was originally close to the Baijin Line, with more than ten households, and they all lived well. But since the Japanese invaded, the entire village has been destroyed..." The squad leader of the kitchen squad was a talkative man, and he spoke as he greeted everyone.

Li Yuexuan and the others finally felt some warmth. They didn't feel anything when they were driving just now, but when they got out of the car and were blown by the wind, they felt so cold. Now they finally felt warm.

Not long after, Shuyoutuan came back with a dozen soldiers and a pile of shoes and pants.

"Hey, comrades, I found some newly issued thin cotton trousers from the puppet army, and the uniforms are clean, and the shoes are also cotton shoes. However, these are not captured from the puppet army, but made by our comrades in the Women's Corps! Come on, change quickly and warm up..."

After drinking ginger soup, changing clothes, and putting the clothes on the stove, Li Yuexuan and his team returned to the roadside. By this time, the truck had been emptied and the wounded had been carried away by the stretcher team.

"Okay, comrades, get in the car, let's go again!" Li Yuexuan said with high spirits as he got on the truck.
