After walking through mountains and ridges, Li Yunlong and the others entered the Taiyue Mountains, and the sky gradually darkened.
Marching in the mountains and forests at night was not easy, not to mention the physical condition of many prisoners of war was not optimistic, so Li Yunlong asked people to find a mountain col that was sheltered from the wind, and let the prisoners eat something first and rest for a night before continuing.
The stove was lit and pots of thick hot porridge were boiled. Many soldiers of the national army couldn't help but choke as they drank from the porridge bowls.
After eating a bowl of hot porridge, the body gradually recovered. At this time, eating a piece of freshly baked flatbread, these former prisoners of war felt that they were really alive.
Of course, there were also those who were in good health and who were not afraid of soup. Wei Dayong made a bowl of hot porridge, and then he grabbed three or four pancakes and wolfed them down.
After eating it all in a few seconds, Wei Dayong wiped his mouth with his sleeve, ran to the cooking team with the bowl in hand, and ordered another bowl of hot porridge and four or five flatbreads while smiling at the surprised expression on the cooking team's face.
Li Yunlong was just about to get close to these people with a bowl in hand, when Zhang Dabiao came over.
Zhang Dabiao glanced around and said softly, "Batalion Commander, we don't have much food."
Li Yunlong tilted his head, "How long do we have enough food?"
Zhang Dabiao calculated in his heart, "If we follow the current consumption, after the sixth company commander returns with his men, we can still hold on for three days, and we will stop in three days!"
Li Yunlong nodded, "I understand. When we arrive at Yaojiayu, we will think carefully about where to borrow food!"
Just as he was about to leave, Li Yunlong remembered something again and stopped and looked at Zhang Dabiao, "By the way, I will send someone back to the brigade headquarters tomorrow to report to the brigade commander and give him information about the unusual little Japs in the prisoner of war camp." Report it”
"I'm making an application by the way, and I'll give us another five hundred..."
Li Yunlong originally raised one hand with his fingers spread wide, but before he spoke he made an eight sign again, "No, eight hundred sets of military uniforms!"
"Hehe, we have taken care of the weapons, ammunition and food ourselves, but the military uniforms must be given to our Lao Li for support!"
"We can't be allowed to go out to meet people in all kinds of clothes, right? It won't be our Lao Li's own face that will be embarrassed! Hehe"
After arranging the task for Zhang Dabiao, Li Yunlong approached Wei Dayong with a smile and a bowl in hand.
"How's it going? Are you full? This bowl is for you too!"
Wei Dayong was like a hamster, with a bulging mouth. Looking at the bowl handed over by Li Yunlong, he quickly swallowed it all, wiped his hands randomly on his body, and took the porridge bowl from Li Yunlong's hand.
"Thank you, Captain Li!"
Li Yunlong waved his hands and smiled like a flower, "Sit down, let's sit down and talk, haha"
"Hey", Wei Dayong happily sat down.
"Don't call me Commander Li. Old Li is no longer the commander of the new regiment. Now... I will be the battalion commander for the time being!"
Li Yunlong turned the topic to Wei Dayong, "Forget about me, let's talk about you. Where did you get this skill? How did you end up in a kid prisoner of war camp?"
Wei Dayong was very upright, "In my impression, you are still the leader. My name is Wei Dayong. I have been a monk in Shaolin Temple for ten years. Captain Li can also call me Monk Wei!"
"I was originally a squad leader in the 27th Division of the Central Army. During the Battle of Xinkou, I was knocked unconscious by a Japanese artillery shell, and that's when I became a prisoner of war!"
Li Yunlong looked at him in surprise, "Hey, no wonder you are so skilled."
Afterwards, Li Yunlong readily extended the invitation, "How about it? Monk, just follow me!"
Wei Dayong agreed readily and nodded happily, "Commander Li, I'm sure I'll keep it. I heard about it in the prisoner-of-war camp. Captain Li led a team to fight head-on with the Sakata Regiment on the bayonet. Killed Sakata with one shot!"
"I fucked Captain Li, and I fucked the Eighth Route Army!"
Li Yunlong happily patted Wei Dayong on the shoulder, "Okay, monk, you will be my guard, haha"
"Huzi, take the monk to change into military uniforms and weapons!"
Seeing Wei Dayong follow Huzi to change into military uniforms, Li Yunlong started thinking about other people.
As the saying goes, if you can't bear to let go of your children, you won't be able to trap the wolf, so Li Yunlong took out precious sugar and medicine.
Li Yunlong's face turned into a smile like a flower, and he personally led people to give each of these former prisoners of war a piece of sugar. He even asked the soldiers who were sick and injured and gave them the right medicine.
Regarding Li Yunlong's actions, these prisoners of war were already grateful for his life-saving grace, and now they were even more emotional.
Compared with the old Chiang government that ignored them and others and allowed them to fend for themselves in prisoner-of-war camps, they had never felt this kind of care for the big-headed soldiers.
Some of them, who were former military officers, understood that this was Li Yunlong's move to gain traction, but they were also happy to accept the favor.
After all, this commander's team is really not like the Tuba Road in their impressions. Some people even think that the Central Army's all-German weapons and equipment training group is nothing more than that!
But what surprised them was that Li Yunlong did not threaten them to join the team, but just asked everyone to have a good rest.
"We are not out of the dangerous area yet. We will continue our journey tomorrow. When we reach Yaojiayu, everyone will take good care of themselves!"
Of course, Li Yunlong did not forget about Wang Kai and the others. He gave them the same treatment and completely regarded them as his own.
Early the next morning, the team started setting off early.
Wei Dayong, who had changed into an Eighth Route Army uniform, carried not only two rifles but also an M3 submachine gun on his back, and followed Li Yunlong with Huzi.
After a morning's march, the team walked into a valley, followed the path beside the stream, and arrived at Yaojiayu deep in the Taiyue Mountains.
Liu Bo led the team one step ahead of them. He had already negotiated with the villagers and prepared the team's location.
Standing at the head of the village, Liu Bo looked at Li Yunlong and the team he led from a distance. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. The number of people was much larger than he expected.
Liu Bo jogged to Li Yunlong and saluted, "Reporting to the battalion commander, the second platoon of the company has successfully completed its mission. Please return to the team now!"
Li Yunlong returned the salute, "First Company Commander, how are your casualties? Were you not bitten by the little Japanese reinforcements?!"
After receiving the report that Liu Bo was not killed, Li Yunlong happily patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go to the village first and arrange the team, and then you can tell me about the situation there in detail!"
"Yes!" Liu Bo began to shout loudly, "Everyone, follow me, the station is over here!"
The villagers looked at this somewhat strange team with curiosity. It included both the Eighth Route Army and the National Army, as well as many Shanxi-Sui Army troops.
Of course, Wang Kai and the others had changed into the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army last night. After all, they had decided to join the Eighth Route Army.
After arranging for the soldiers and the national army to rest separately, Li Yunlong took Zhang Dabiao and Liu Bo to count the remaining wealth and gains of the team.
Li Yunlong needs to think in advance about how many weapons he should let Brother Xu bring next time. Moreover, these weapons are easy to use, but they also cost a lot of ammunition.
Especially if the consumption is not taken into account this time, the original basic ammunition that comes with it is no longer enough. In addition to weapons and equipment, you also have to calculate how much ammunition you need to reserve.
