Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Qiao Lin stood on tiptoe, pointed towards the southeast, and then he was also stunned.

The cavalry company didn't have a map, but the brigade headquarters did. This operational map clearly marked all the names of the areas in this area.

And the road line he pointed to had the words "Changlong Highway" imprinted on it impressively.

"So that highway is called Changlong Highway."

Only then did Qiao Lin realize that, after all, the village chief only told him some stories that he had to tell, but did not tell him the name of the road.

"You led the cavalry company to guard that road for a day? You seized a total of seven transport trucks, and wiped out a squad of little devils, right?"

Brigadier Chen nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Qiao Lin and asked.

"Yeah, at the time I wondered why the little devil would take that road. After returning to the regiment headquarters, our regiment leader told me that the little devil was going to carry out a big sweep, and that road happened to connect Changshan and Longcheng. , I guess it is very likely that it is temporarily used as a transportation line."

Qiao Lin nodded, this is what he thought of after listening to Li Yunlong's introduction of the current situation.

"That's right! So it is!"

Brigadier Chen slapped his hands, looking very excited.

"Brigade Commander, what's wrong?"

Qiao Lin asked in a daze, isn't Brigadier Chen asking about the cavalry company?How come it's on the road again?

"Wait for a while, I'll make a call."

Brigadier Chen motioned Qiao Lin to be quiet, walked to the corner, picked up the phone and shook it a few times: "This is the [-]th Brigade, help me connect to the headquarters of the [-]th Division!"

"I'm looking for the teacher, teacher? Have you found out about the Changlong Highway? It was a company under the independent regiment fighting the enemy, seizing seven trucks, and wiped out a unit. The enemy has been active frequently these two days It should be searching for the missing vehicle, not to reinforce the Fujiwara brigade, not Li Yunlong, but the one from Qiaozhuang last time, okay, I understand, yes!"

Brigadier Chen hung up the phone, heaved a sigh of relief, rubbed his hands, and there was a smile on his face.

From the content of the call, Qiao Lin probably understood that it seemed to be related to the cavalry company, and he couldn't help feeling a little nervous, maybe he caused some trouble again.

"Qiao Lin, Qiao Lin, one Li Yunlong is enough to give me a headache, and now you are added, the two of you are really... well, what can I say?"

Brigadier Chen sighed and said rather helplessly.

Sure enough, it was a disaster, Qiao Lin's heart tightened.

"It seems that I have to establish a rule in the future. Any actions of your independent group, whether before or after the event, must be reported to me."

Brigadier Chen pointed at Qiao Lin's nose, seeming to reprimand him, but his tone was not harsh.

"Brigade Commander, did we get into trouble this time?"

Jolin asked cautiously.

He has done as much finishing work as possible, but there is no guarantee that there will be no future troubles.

"It's not a disaster, but it did cause a lot of trouble. Do you know that your operation this time has made the intelligence department of the whole division busy in the past two days?"

Brigadier Chen shook his head with a smile. Maybe he finally found the answer to the question, and he felt a lot more relaxed.

"what?"

Qiao Lin didn't understand, so he just blocked the way and robbed him?Why is it related to the intelligence department?

"Since the early morning of the day before yesterday, a large number of enemy troops suddenly appeared along the Changlong Highway and moved along the highway to the Xing County area. We always thought that it was the enemy's reinforcements for the troops of the Fujiwara Brigade, but the strange thing is that after investigation, we found that This group of enemy troops are all advancing on foot, and the speed is very slow, and it is impossible to judge their true intentions. After a long time, it turned out that they were looking for the truck that was snatched by you, you, you, alas!"

In the end, even Brigadier Chen himself was a little dumbfounded.

"Uh... I didn't expect this to happen, please convey our apology to the division commander on behalf of the cavalry company."

Qiao Lin was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such an oolong to happen.

"Okay, let's take it as a trick on the little devil. Fortunately, it didn't cause substantial losses to our army, and the division commander didn't mean to blame you."

Brigadier Chen found it ridiculous when he thought about it, the little devils were in a mess, and the [-]th Division was also very busy. Who would have thought that the reason was that the cavalry company robbed the enemy's transport convoy.

Especially after Mr. Liu learned that Qiao Lin did this, he said "interesting" twice on the phone. His attitude was already obvious. Mr. Liu did not intend to hold Qiao Lin responsible for this incident.

"But you are good enough. A company dares to go to the highway to snatch the enemy's transport convoy. Listen to what you said. This time the harvest is not small. You have made a lot of money. Tell me, what happened? Assigned?"

Brigadier Chen learned that Qiao Lin was guarding the enemy's transportation line with a cavalry company and had robbed seven trucks in a row.

He was very curious about how Jolin distributed the spoils, after all, this was not a small amount.

"Actually, there are only two cars of oil and water. The remaining military uniforms, tires, and shovels are useless. We took out some of the canned food and distributed them to the villagers in the cavalry company station. We sent five boxes to our regiment leader for you. I took ten boxes, and the rest will be used as rations for these days. I ate two bags of ten bags of rice, sent three bags to our regiment leader, and took five bags to you. The dozens of rifles and cavalry captured It’s useless to even keep it, so I sent it to our regiment leader.”

Qiao Lin smiled shyly and explained his distribution plan.

"Well, I also know how to distribute some to the villagers. This is very good. We are the people's army. We can't just enjoy the support of the people, and we can't forget the people when we get benefits."

Brigadier Chen nodded, very satisfied with Qiao Lin's action of distributing the canned food to the villagers.

"Brigade Commander, it's useless for us to keep those trucks. Why don't we send them all to the brigade headquarters, and those tires are definitely usable. Although there are not many of them, it's still possible to bring someone to pack something."

Jolin took the opportunity to bring up the truck issue.

To be honest, those seven trucks were tasteless to him, and it would be a pity to keep them useless.

The cavalry company can't be used, and the independent regiment can't afford it. If Brigadier Chen doesn't want it, then he really doesn't know what to do. He can't just stop at the villagers' wheat fields all the time.

If it doesn't work, I can only find an opportunity to drive it far away and throw it away.

"Hey, that's not a big deal, and there aren't many of them? We only have three trucks in the [-]th Division. You can get back seven trucks in one shot, which is enough for a car platoon."

Brigadier Chen curled his lips, thinking that Qiao Lin might be showing off.

"I understand. I'll drive here for you when I have time, but it will take a little longer. I am the only one in the cavalry company who can drive. It will take a long time to drive here and then ride back. I will try to finish it within a week."

When Qiao Lin heard that Brigadier Chen did not refuse, he knew that there was something to be said about it, so he said quickly.

"There's no need to let you run back and forth by yourself. There are still a few people in our brigade who can drive. Trucks are indeed good things, but they are troublesome if there are too many. This diesel is more difficult to obtain than food."

Brigadier Chen smacked his lips and said with a look of embarrassment.

Chapter 550 There is still room for improvement

"This thing..."

Qiao Lin scratched his head. He was only thinking about filling the captured trucks into the army, but he ignored that these trucks were going to burn oil.

A car without oil is like a gun without bullets.

In this era, fuel oil is a very tight strategic material, known as soft gold, and it is not sold on the market at all.

Is it really possible to throw these trucks as scrap iron?That's a pity, after all, when troops are fighting or transferring, it is much more convenient to have trucks to transport supplies than manpower.

His eyes inadvertently landed on the battle map, and an immature thought came to him.

"Brigade Commander, I have a solution to solve the fuel problem. It depends on whether you are willing or not?"

Qiao Lin asked cautiously, and he didn't know if Brigadier Chen would agree.

"You have another idea?"

Brigadier Chen was taken aback, and then realized: "You are planning to grab it again, aren't you?"

He really couldn't think of any other way for Qiao Lin to get fuel other than robbing the little devil. He couldn't find an oil field to drill by himself, could he?

"Uh... Brigadier Commander is wise!"

Seeing that his idea had been seen through, Qiao Lin was a little embarrassed.

"Tell me about your plan."

Unexpectedly, Brigadier Chen seemed very interested in this method.

"Do you remember the supply station I mentioned just now? It was newly built. According to the investigation by our soldiers, all the oil drums stored there were used to refuel the passing vehicles. The number could be four to five vehicles. , and there is only one team in charge of guarding, if we take it away, it should be enough for these trucks for a while."

Qiao Lin quickly revealed his plan.

"This method is also feasible. Instead of letting the enemy use this oil to lure people and things to invade our country, it is better for us to use it to deal with the enemy. However, the inspection of the Changlong Highway is very strict these days, and we have to wait for this turmoil Let’s do it after you calm down, how about this, pay more attention to that road recently, if the time is right, let’s do it immediately.”

Brigadier Chen nodded, and directly approved Qiao Lin's plan. As for how to get rid of it, he believed that with Qiao Lin's ability, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Brigade Commander, you are really quick to cut through the mess, know the general situation, consider the overall situation, don't stick to the small details, and make a decisive decision..."

Qiao Lin didn't expect Brigadier Chen to agree so readily, and quickly flattered him.

"That's enough, that's enough, don't talk about flattery, and use your energy on business."

Brigadier Chen was amused and pretended to educate him seriously.

"Now we can talk about the business. You said you want to increase the food for the cavalry company. I can understand it emotionally, but you must have a reason that can convince me and the division commander. If it's just because the soldiers don't have enough food, it won't work."

After making a few jokes, Brigadier Chen returned to the topic.

"It's really not enough!"

Qiao Lin suddenly became embarrassed. This was the reason why he asked for help. If there was enough food, what food would he need?

"Now in the army, I dare not say that everyone is starving, but at least [-]% of the soldiers do not have enough to eat. This is an indisputable fact. Judging from the current situation, it is not realistic to increase the food quota in an all-round way. I am afraid that your reason is not acceptable. "

Brigadier Chen shook his head, not to mention the teacher for this reason, first of all he couldn't get through here.

"Brigade Commander, please listen to my explanation. This food is not added for nothing. The training intensity received by the cavalry company is very intensive. It must have enough physical strength to support it. The current food is not nutritious and can only be maintained by eating a lot. If you don’t eat enough, you won’t be able to keep up with training.”

Hearing that Brigadier Chen seemed to be refusing, Qiao Lin said hastily.

"Not nutritious? Now the cavalry eats canned food with rice, let alone the Eighth Route Army. Even the little devil's food is not as good as yours. How dare you say it is not nutritious?"

Brigadier Chen stared directly.

Other troops are eating cornbread and only cabbage. Your cavalry company is serving canned rice with canned food. They turned their heads and said that it is not nutritious. Isn't this deliberately annoying?

"Brigade Commander, you have to do the math. The cavalry doesn't even have a single grain of food now, and those cans are only enough to last this month. There are still ten bags of rice left, but one bag is only twenty catties, and one meal I have to cook two bags, which is not enough to eat, and there is still canned rice this month, and next month I will run out of food, so I can’t still grab it? Besides, even if I go to grab it, I may not be able to get canned rice.”

Qiao Lin settled the account with Brigadier Chen with a mournful face. No matter how many cans there are, there will be a day before they can be eaten. On average, these cans are actually not many.

"That's right, I forgot about it."

Brigadier Chen patted his forehead and said apologetically, he was too concerned about nutrition and ignored the quantity.

"But other troops not only train, but also perform combat missions. You can't just increase the training intensity just because you said that the training intensity is high. What do other comrades think? We should care about the grassroots soldiers, but we must treat them equally, and we can't treat one more than another."

Brigadier Chen thought about it and gave another reason for his refusal.

In fact, this reason is the most critical.

Although food is difficult to obtain, there are nearly 10,000 people in the Eighth Route Army out of 8+ people who need to pay for their own food rations.

On this huge basis, it is not a big deal to increase the rations of less than 200 cavalry companies by [-]%. It can be solved by buying a few more bags of food every month.
