Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Brigadier Chen's words successfully persuaded the brigade commanders to support the attack on Xing County.

A subsequent telegram from the division headquarters also verified Brigadier Chen's analysis.

According to the report of the Eighth Route Army's eyeliner stationed in Longcheng, a large number of little devils were suddenly dispatched and rushed to Xing County by truck. It is conservatively estimated that the number of people is more than two regiments.

The division headquarters of the [-]th Division ordered the subordinate units not to act rashly. At this stage, they still focus on defense, and they can retreat in an orderly manner to shorten the defense line.

Obviously, Brigadier Chen's concerns coincided with those of the division headquarters, and he did not approve of the Eighth Route Army's attack on Xingxian County to expand the results of the war.

And those little devils who set off from Longcheng should have gone to Xing County to deal with the mutiny incident.

So there are only two things the Eighth Route Army has to do right now.

Do a good job of defense to prevent enemy sneak attacks.

Watching the fun, if nothing unexpected happens, the little devils from Xing County and the little devils who came from Longcheng are probably about to put on a dog-eat-dog show.

At this time, Qiao Lin added another task, started civil engineering, and led the soldiers of the cavalry company to dig telephone lines.

Since Yui Iijima committed suicide, the little devil spy troops lurking in the base area have been completely eradicated.

As for the two spies who slipped through the net, without the command of Yui Iijima, they would not be able to cause any trouble.

The matter is settled, and the rest is the aftermath.

Li Yunlong heard that Yui Iijima communicated with the outside world through the phone, and he became very interested in the buried telephone line. He went to the brigade headquartered cheekily, and pestered Brigadier Chen to ask for the ownership of the telephone line.

Then Qiao Lin became a coolie and took the cavalry company to dig the ground.

Chapter 640 The Importance of Information

To say that digging telephone lines is really not a good job.

The cavalry company that performs specific operational tasks is tantamount to giving up its job. The soldiers ride horses, except for riding back and forth, but they spend part of the time wandering in the wild by themselves.

And horse rifles and sabers, which are special weapons for cavalry, are even more useless.

Company cadres such as Sun Desheng and Chen Youjin, down to ordinary soldiers such as Wang Dachui and Ma Guangming, lined up in a long line with a shovel in their hands, standing at the place where the telephone line was found, digging with their waists bowed.

When digging, you have to be careful, the progress is too slow if you are weak, and it is easy to shovel the telephone line if you are strong, so the soldiers are like digging cultural relics, all of them stare round, not daring to use less effort, let alone digging. Do more.

The telephone line was buried more than a foot deep in the ground, which is not too deep, but it happened that the telephone line was tightly wrapped by the soil.

Dig out one end and pull it back and forth. If you have too little strength, you can't pull it, but if you have too much strength, it will easily break the thread.

So we can only use the most laborious digging method, basically use a shovel to shovel three or five times, and then dig it out with a hand.

The work is not tiring, the difficulty lies in the control of the strength, and the biggest problem is that the telephone line is very long.

A team of nearly 200 people lined up, with a total length of more than 300 meters, but after a whole day of digging, only a ten-kilometer-long telephone line was dug out.

Even though the soldiers are very physically fit, but after a day's work with their waists bowed like this, all of them suffer from sore backs.

The length of the telephone line is fixed, 500 meters long, and every two lines are fixed with a special metal connector, which ensures smooth signal while ensuring that the telephone line will not break.

The Eighth Route Army did not have this kind of connector. In order to ensure that these telephone lines can still be used normally after being brought back, Qiao Lin really spent a lot of time researching.

First, it was broken by hand, but the result was too much force, and it was deformed all at once.

Then I chose to pry it with a knife, but the buckle on the top couldn’t be pried open at all. If you use too little force, it won’t work. If you use too much force, it will be broken directly.

After breaking three or four joints in a row, Qiao Lin didn't dare to try again.

If these connectors are broken, then these telephone lines will not be used when they are taken back.

After careful observation, Qiao Lin sent soldiers to rush to the brigade headquarters and borrowed two pliers.

Finally, relying on two pliers, the joint was finally completely removed.

A 500-meter-long telephone line is not small when rolled into a coil, weighing nearly two hundred catties.

In order to facilitate portability, soldiers can only pass their heads through the hollow in the middle, and carry the telephone cord slung over their shoulders.

"Everyone has worked hard today. Let's continue digging tomorrow and try to finish it in one day. His grandma, this job is too painful."

Qiao Lin also set up a set of telephone wires himself. When he got on the horse, he obviously felt the horse's back sinking, and couldn't help complaining.

After sending the phone line back to the regiment headquarters, seeing Li Yunlong's smiling face, Qiao Lin didn't even think about asking for credit, and took the initiative to fetch water to quench the soldiers' thirst.

Li Yunlong is not an ignorant person. The cavalry company has been busy for a day to satisfy his personal wish, so he has to thank everyone for being reasonable.

So under the guidance of Kong Jie and others, the Independent Regiment Headquarters set up a cauldron and took care of the cavalry company for dinner.

"Head, why do you want this thing? It's not easy to dig, and it's not easy to get it. Whoever wants it can dig it by himself. You just need to report it, and you can get praise from your superiors. "

After sending the cavalry company away, Qiao Lin couldn't help complaining about Li Yunlong.

Today, he dug up the telephone wires for a day, and he has personally experienced the hard work of the working people.

"What a nice thing, why not? Do you know how hard it was for me to convince the brigade commander to have this telephone line?"

Li Yunlong couldn't help retorting that at that time he almost cried while hugging Brigadier Chen's thigh. He made a promise and flattered Brigadier Chen before letting Brigadier Chen nod.

"Didn't the brigade commander assign a radio station to the regiment headquarters? Any news can be transmitted through the radio station, and what are you doing with the phone? I reckoned that this telephone line must not be enough to reach the division headquarters, at most it can After receiving it from the brigade headquarters, it will be a big project to install it, so why spend so much effort?"

Qiao Lin was very puzzled by Li Yunlong's thoughts. In his opinion, there was no need for the regiment headquarters to install a telephone.

It can only be connected to the brigade headquarters, and you have to switch lines to connect to other places, and you can't chat with the brigade commander. Even if the phone is installed, it can only be regarded as a decoration, basically useless.

"You don't know the importance of information just by looking at it. Do you know what is the most important thing in this era? Information, if you can get information at the first time, you can take the initiative, which means you have the initiative."

Li Yunlong nodded Qiao Lin's forehead and taught him his experience.

Qiao Lin was stunned for a moment. Why did this sentence sound so familiar?It's like a line from a movie I've seen before.

Did Li Yunlong also watch that movie?

Shouldn't it?

"What are you thinking? Did you listen to me?"

Seeing Qiao Lin in a daze, Li Yunlong was not happy.

"Listen, listen, you go on."

Qiao Lin came back to his senses and nodded quickly.

"The radio station is good. It is much faster than a correspondent riding a horse to send information. But the radio station has to send codes and translate, which also takes time. It's not like a telephone. You can talk directly when you pick it up. How fast and trouble-free? On the battlefield Things change rapidly, and sometimes victory or defeat is instantaneous, do you understand the principle of action?"

Li Yunlong grabbed Qiao Lin's ear and asked to prevent him from being distracted.

"Understand, understand, but what does this have to do with you? Our independent regiment is the left-behind troops. If there is any emergency, the brigade commander won't bother to call you, right?"

Qiao Lin pushed Li Yunlong's hand away, rubbed his ears and said angrily.

He felt that Li Yunlong was just out of work. He was busy going to inspect the various troops a few days ago and cared about the big martial arts competition. It seemed that the freshness had passed these two days, and he didn't go out much. He began to think about the speed of information transmission again.

"Why has nothing to do with me? Do you know what happened today?"

Li Yunlong made a cut, feeling that Qiao Lin looked down on him a bit.

"What happened?"

Qiao Lin had been digging in the field for a whole day today, and he didn't know anything except that the work was really tiring.

"Something happened to the little devil."

Li Yunlong looked around, pretending to be mysterious and said.

"When will the little devil not have an accident? What is this? The brigade leader of the little devil is almost dead."

Qiao Lin said disdainfully, feeling that Li Yunlong was a bit bluffing.

"How did you know?"

Li Yunlong was stunned.

"Really dead?"

Qiao Lin reacted for a few seconds. Li Yunlong didn't look like he was joking. Could it be that Fujiwara Kujo is really dead?That was really news.

"Tell me first how you know?"

Li Yunlong stared at Qiao Lin, wondering if this kid really went digging telephone wires in the field today?

"I was talking nonsense, did I guess right?"

Qiao Lin was also taken aback. What he said casually has become a proverb.

"It's not dead, it disappeared. It's really strange. I heard about it when I went to the brigade headquarters to contact the person who installed the phone. Why did you guess it right away?"

Li Yunlong touched his chin, feeling very frustrated.

Chapter 640 The Sixth Helper Finally Arrives

"The blind cat met a dead mouse, so he said he was lucky. Captain, please tell me what happened. Why did that fat man Fujiwara disappear?"

Jolin asked impatiently.

He already hated little devils, and what happened to Uejima Yui made him especially hate Fujiwara Kujo.

He was naturally very interested when he heard that it was related to Fujiwara Kujo.

If he can make a decision, Fujiwara Kujo should not disappear, but die without a whole body.

"I don't know exactly what's going on. I also heard it occasionally."

Qiao Lin wanted to hear the specific situation, but Li Yunlong was stumped. He only heard what the people in the brigade department said, so how could he know the specific situation.

"That's it? Then what information are you talking about with me, and you ran all the way to the brigade headquarters, which is similar to what I guessed."

When Qiao Lin heard that Li Yunlong didn't know what was going on, he curled his lips in dissatisfaction and began to sarcasm.

"Let's not talk about the brigade headquarters, even the division headquarters don't know the specific situation. Where do I know where I'm going? Besides, that's not the point. All the troops that the little devils raided on the front line have withdrawn. Guess why they went?"

Li Yunlong couldn't stand Qiao Lin's ridicule, so he quickly changed the focus.

"The commander of the brigade is gone, and there are only a group of stragglers left. They definitely don't want to stay on the front line and work hard. As for why they are going, who knows, it can't be a mutiny, right?"

Qiao Lin thought it was nothing strange, so he said casually.

Eerily quiet.

"Really mutiny?"
