Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

"What else can we do? We must seize this great opportunity! Lao Guo himself said that the Second Squadron has very few opportunities to fight! Now that the opportunity is right in front of us, we must fight!"

"I agree with the captain's opinion. In fact, if the headquarters is willing, I can take the main force with me!" Zheng Changfeng said.

"Ahem, the main force regiment is not going to work, so forget about it! Political Commissar, please send a telegram right away. Once the Second Battalion is confirmed to go for reinforcement, we will organize some supplies and send them to Panlong Town! They are not short of ammunition for the time being, so we will send some food to ensure they have a month's supply!" Zhao Danian said.

"The emperor has no shortage of hungry soldiers! The headquarters has agreed to let the Second Battalion go to fight, so we must ensure that there is enough food! Besides, the Taiyue District can also replenish food nearby! I think we should send more ammunition, including some to the 386th Brigade! After all, that is our old unit, and the headquarters will not disagree with this..."

Just as a small meeting was being held in Liangjia Village to decide on sending things to the Second Battalion and the 386th Brigade, in the square south of Matan Village, the soldiers of the Second Battalion were standing in neat rows on the edge of the Qingzhang River, waiting for the inspection by the leaders of the headquarters.

Well, the soldiers were waiting, but Guo Liandong was standing outside the yard of the headquarters, standing straight with a look of grievance on his face.

"What's happening?" Outside the yard, some people were confused and looked at Guo Liandong to ask what was going on.

"I don't know. I've been standing here since this morning. It's already past two o'clock, right? I'm as still as a wooden stake!"

"Good fellow, he is standing here and you are watching here, you really have time to spare..."

Inside the courtyard, in the office, the division commander rubbed his eyes, put on his glasses again, walked up to the deputy commander with a smile and said, "Deputy commander, Xiao Guo has been standing here for two hours, are you here?"

"Boss, I've learned about their situation. Guo Liandong was sent out from the 772nd Regiment and has been working diligently in the Beishan Detachment. Maybe it was bad luck, or maybe it was the battle arrangement. Anyway, after he went to Beishan, he rarely had the opportunity to fight with the Japanese army, so much so that he still feels that he is not a good captain. Asking to fight is actually proving himself!"

"Commander, even though it's just a brigade, you know our team well. This brigade is not much worse than a regiment! I just went to take a look and saw that the soldiers were all in high spirits and well-equipped. Their eagerness to fight could be felt from a distance! Such a team would be just the right weapon to be used in the Taiyue District!"

"Okay, let him go to reinforce! But you have to explain to your cadres that we are a disciplined unit of the Eighth Route Army. We can't do such things just because we are eager to fight! Isn't this just like a child crying for candy?"

"Then he also treats us as his parents! Have you ever seen a child go to someone else's house crying and asking for candy? Otherwise, why don't you go and take a look at our soldiers?" asked the division commander.

"Let's go and have a look!" The deputy commander stood up and walked out of the courtyard gate, without even looking at Guo Liandong, and went straight to the river. When the chief of staff came out, he gestured to Guo Liandong, asking him to follow the team. The division commander saw everything, but just smiled and said nothing. When everyone arrived in front of the team, they really felt their eyes brightened! Neat camouflage uniforms, uniform steel helmets buckled on the heads of the gray Eighth Route Army caps, and uniform cloth shoes on their feet. Looking at the equipment again, submachine guns, assault rifles, light machine guns... 60 mortars... No matter who sees it, they have to say it's good!

"Good, good! Hello, comrades..." The deputy commander-in-chief began to speak to the soldiers with a smile...

Half an hour later, everyone returned. After being lectured by the division commander, Guo Liandong also returned to the second battalion: "Comrades... We can finally fight!"

"Okay..." Someone in the team shouted, and then everyone followed suit.

"Okay, since we are going to fight, let's mobilize before the war! There must be sacrifices in war, so comrades, be prepared to sacrifice! What are we fighting for? It's for national hatred, for our country, to drive the Japanese devils out of our land, to avenge those people who died in humiliation, and so that our loved ones can grow crops in peace..."

"Captain, we all know! Since the day I joined the army, I have opened a separate page of my family tree! From that day on, this life is no longer my own, it belongs to our nation and this country! If I die one day due to bad luck, comrades, dig a hole for me to bury me, and I will rest in peace! But before I rest in peace, I have to take a few devils and puppet soldiers with me!"

"Captain, we have already made preparations for sacrifice, so when do we set out?"

"Let's go, let's go now! Listen to my orders, the cavalry will be in the front, the special forces will be on the flanks, and the first company will be the vanguard... let's go!" The army's morale was high, so Guo Liandong did not hesitate any longer and set off immediately.

Of course, they only set out from Matan to Xianwang Village. Since the distance was too long, they were lucky enough to be able to stay in Xianwang Village today.

Liangjia Village, which received the telegram from the Second Battalion, immediately dispatched three trucks loaded with supplies to leave Liangjia Village and head straight for Panlong Town. This was ammunition prepared for the Second Battalion, and there was also ammunition and some weapons sent to the 386th Brigade! Although the brigade commander is not in Taiyue District now, but has returned to northern Shaanxi to study, the old friendship is still there, and the headquarters also agreed.

The next day, when the dusty Second Brigade arrived at Panlong Town, it was just the time when the trucks arrived. The two sides were seamlessly connected and the supplies were handed over. However, when they arrived here, some carts, including war horses, could not move forward, because they had to pass through the area where the Japanese were and secretly rush to the Taiyue area, which would be too conspicuous.

Therefore, Guo Liandong gave an order to temporarily put the cart and the warhorse in Panlong Town and handed them over to the comrades in the third district to take care of. And the comrades of the second battalion, with the help of a battalion in the third district, took all the combat supplies and headed towards Taiyue District. Well, this battalion is mostly local soldiers, who are more familiar with the terrain and roads, and are the best guides.

Lao Guo's Second Battalion went out to fight, which made the comrades who stayed in the Beishan base area full of envy. But at the same time, they were also silently blessing, hoping that the comrades could return victorious!
Meanwhile, Li Yuexuan was also looking through the information to see if he could help the Second Squadron. (End of this chapter)
