"Hurry up, hurry up, come on, come on, come on, come on, crush the Tubal Road!"
"What are you talking about? What are you doing for food? Hurry up!"
"Even if we are all exhausted, we still have to rush for me. If anyone retreats, I will kill him!"
…
Wu Ze led the team towards the Wenyang River. Along the way, they were constantly harassed by Tubal Road. The team was unable to effectively approach the Wenyang River, and the casualties were increasing.
Wu Ze pretended to be mad and urged the team to "send death".
After some hard work, the team of 500 people finally had only 180 people left, most of whom were slightly injured.
The ammunition was almost exhausted, but Wu Ze still "didn't give up."
Many soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army began to question Wu Ze, secretly cursing Section Chief Zhong that he didn't know how to command a war.
Tubal Road occupies a favorable location, and we don't have heavy weapons. If we rush over there rashly, we will die.
Furthermore, Section Chief Zhong knew how to let the soldiers charge, but he himself hid behind. As a commander, if he didn't take the lead in the charge, why should we fight to the death?
In the end, no matter how much Wu Ze urged, the remaining Imperial Alliance Army didn't cooperate very much...well, it wasn't that they didn't cooperate. Forging workers was the specialty of these people, and they couldn't work hard.
When Wu Ze saw this, he stopped pushing the person towards death.
From 500 people to 180 people, most of them were injured, which was enough.
Of course, Wu Ze still had to pretend to be angry on the surface: "You trash, these losers, it looks like we can't complete the task. How are we going to explain to the webmaster when we go back?"
The soldiers of the Imperial Association Army remained silent. Although Section Chief Zhong did not know how to fight, the pressure caused by Tubal Road was indeed considerable.
They really couldn't get close to the Wenyang River. When Puyou got angry when they returned, everyone couldn't help but start to feel sad.
In the past, when Pu You was angry, he would kill people without mercy at all.
To Pu You, people like them are not even a drop of rain.
Without being able to approach the Wenyang River and unable to solve the water shortage problem in the downstream fortress village, Pu You will probably kill many people.
As the sky darkened, the group gnawed on dry food dejectedly.
The water they brought had been drunk, and the team dispersed to look for water sources, but couldn't find even a hair.
This damn Tubal Road, they not only caused the Fortress Village to lose its water source, but also destroyed all the water outside.
"Chief Zhong, we don't have water, we can't go on like this." Someone whispered to Wu Ze.
What this person meant was that since there was no water, we had better withdraw, otherwise everyone would die of thirst.
Of course, on the surface, he would not dare to say this directly to Wu Ze.
"Trash, didn't we bring engineers with us? Let them dig wells and find water!" Wu Ze scolded.
"Yes, yes." The man had no choice but to go.
He didn't even defend himself. How could this well be dug out so easily? If the underground water could be dug out so easily, how could more than twenty fortress villages be in crisis?
But Section Chief Zhong’s meaning is very clear, that is, it cannot be withdrawn, it must be carried.
If that's the case, then just endure it.
Wu Ze relied on a dying tree to rest. Even if he wanted to go back, he would have to completely mess up the team. When Pu You saw that it was really going to be impossible, he withdrew.
In this way, Pu You's level will be easier than...well, I'm not talking about Pu You's level.
But we want to show off to the people coming down from Taiyuan. It’s not that we don’t work hard, it’s just that Tubal Road is blocking us too hard.
Wu Ze lowered his head and checked the time by the light of the flashlight, thinking to himself: If nothing else happens, Li Mu would have been killed by Wang Damao by now.
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.
"Chief Zhong, someone is looking for you." Someone came to report to Wu Ze.
"who?"
"Wang Damao from the Logistics Department."
"Hurry up and get him over here. This rabbit must have brought carrots. Hurry up and get him over here." Wu Ze looked overjoyed.
But he secretly thought in his heart: If Wang Damao didn't hurry up and kill Li Mu, why did he come to my side? Could it be that there was something wrong with the action of killing Li Mu?
?
Soon, Wang Damao came over.
Wang Damao indeed brought a few carrots with him, and Wu Ze grabbed the carrots from Wang Damao, put them in his mouth and bit them hard.
The carrots are crispy and sweet, and really delicious.
The Imperial Army soldiers on the side began to swallow their saliva when they saw Wu Ze eating so deliciously.
I have been thirsty all afternoon and my throat is smoking.
At this time, it would be great if there was a carrot to eat.
"Go, go, what are you looking at!" Wu Ze pretended to want to monopolize it, and sent all the soldiers of the Imperial Alliance Army away. Only he and Wang Damao were left here.
"Why are you here? Did something go wrong during the process of killing Li Mu?" Wu Ze asked in a low voice.
"Before I put the bait you ordered me to put out, Li Mu himself hurriedly came out of Station 23." Wang Damao replied, "I felt something was not right, so I hurriedly came to find you."
"Li Mu himself came out of the 23rd station ahead of time, are you sure?" Wu Ze was a little surprised. Isn't this a bit too coincidental.
We want to kill him, but he comes out on his own before the bait is put out?
This made Wu Ze smell a conspiracy. Could it be that besides himself, someone else wanted to kill Li Mu?
After all, while the Eighteenth Group Army is causing trouble and the situation is chaotic, it is a good time to take action.
"He, the deputy section chief, and some people from the intelligence department came out. From the looks of it, it seemed like they were taking some action." Wang Damao said.
"No matter what Li Mu does, as long as he appears in your sight again, just kill him." Wu Ze said decisively.
As for whether someone else wants to kill Li Mu, this is just Wu Ze's conjecture, so there is no need to tell Wang Damao for the time being.
"Yeah." Wang Damao agreed, "When I came here, I already told the people left behind to kill Li Mu at all costs. I guess Li Mu should be killed at this moment."
Wu Zedao, "Go back quickly. As for what tasks the people from the Intelligence Section are coming out to perform, don't ask. Just pretend you don't know anything."
"Okay." Wang Damao nodded.
Then Wu Ze pretended to be angry, kicked Wang Damao, and cursed: "You damn rabbit, you didn't bring more carrots when you came here, get out of here!"
Wang Damao pretended to be pissed and left.
"Chief Zhong, brothers have an idea." Wang Damao left, and someone came over.
"What do you think?" Wu Ze asked.
"Send someone back to bring some water," the man said.
"Go, go, go quickly." Wu Ze nodded, "This carrot is fine, I'm dying of thirst, go get water quickly."
"Yes Yes."
…
Wang Damao hurried back and saw that the people left behind were still staying there. He was suspicious: "You are still here. Could it be that Li Mu hasn't come back yet?"
"Yes, Li Mu hasn't shown up yet. We just saw his deputy section chief Zhang Jijun coming back with a few people and a stranger. We were afraid of disturbing Li Mu, so we didn't dare to take action." The man left behind answered.
"This shouldn't be the case. Li Mu has a very punctual schedule and never goes out for activities at night. How could he not be back yet?" Wang Damao questioned.
"Eagle, we actually have an idea." The left-behind man said.
"What do you think?" Wang Damao asked.
"Do you think Li Mu is dead?" the left-behind man asked.
"Li Mu is dead?" Upon hearing this, Wang Damao immediately felt that it was possible.
It's impossible that all his deputy section chiefs are back, but Li Mu hasn't come back yet.
"You continue to guard here. If I don't come back, don't withdraw. I'll go find out the situation right away." After Wang Damao finished speaking, he left in a hurry.
Wang Damao found a familiar colleague and chatted for a few words. The other person finally said: "Section Chief Li was ambushed by the other party when he captured the military commander's spies, and he has died in the line of duty."
When Wang Damao heard this, he pretended to be shocked: "Is this true? Are the military reunification elements so rampant?"
Wang Damao felt completely relieved.
Wu Ze said that he was undercover at Station 23, and Li Mu was the biggest threat.
Although Li Mu was not killed by his own hands, as long as he is dead, it doesn't matter who did it.
"The military reunification elements have always been rampant. They almost killed the stationmaster twice. It's not like you don't know this," the other party said.
"That's true, that's true." Wang Damao pretended to nod and cursed, "These military commanders really know how to pick the right time to strike, but they chose to strike when the Eighteenth Group Army was causing trouble. The situation was in chaos, so they took advantage of the chaos to strike. , It’s really cunning.”
"No, but even though Section Chief Li is dead, the Intelligence Section still gained something." The other party said, "The deputy section chief of the Intelligence Section captured a military reunification element. The station chief has personally examined it and said nothing. The station chief has An order has been issued. If anyone can pry open the mouth of this military leader, he will be the chief of the intelligence section."
When Wang Damao heard this, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
By doing this, Pu You is paving the way for Wu Ze.
If even Pu You can't deal with someone, no one else at Station 23 can do anything about it, not even Zhang Jijun, the deputy chief of the Intelligence Section.
And Wang Damao had a feeling that if Wu Ze took action, there would probably be no problem.
If Wu Ze really pries the other party's mouth open, and the logistics section chief also serves as the intelligence section chief, wouldn't Wu Ze be the leader in the world... In the future, at Station 23, wouldn't his activities be freer?
The other party looked at Wang Damao's stunned look and joked: "Rabbit, don't think you can pry open the mouth of this military leader, you are just a carrot-eating person, intelligence section chief, that is not something you can worry about. "
Wang Damao smiled to himself and said: "Haha, I just thought about it casually. Even if the station commander immediately promotes me to the head of the intelligence section, I won't be able to do this job."
"Rabbit, come on, I believe you can do it. If you become the chief of the intelligence section, please take care of me more in the future." The other party joked.
"Okay, don't make fun of me. I have to go back quickly." Wang Damao said, "These military reunification elements killed Section Chief Li. Who knows if they have any other actions. It's not safe outside."
"Rabbit, if you don't mind, sleep with me..."
"Go, go, I don't have such strong tastes." Wang Damao said in disgust and hurriedly disappeared into the night.
"Li Mu is dead, you should withdraw." Wang Damao came back and said to the people who stayed behind.
"Yes." When the man who stayed behind heard that Li Mu was dead, he immediately ran away.
Wang Damao didn't go to Wu Ze anymore. Li Mu was dead anyway. When Wu Ze came back, he would tell him that Li Mu was dead.
Pu You, an old devil, actually came with a divine assist at this time. Whoever can pry open the mouths of the military commanders will be able to become the new intelligence section chief. This is simply tailor-made for Wu Ze.
Wang Damao was already dreaming about it. When Wu Ze became the chief of the logistics section and the chief of the intelligence section, it was not a piece of cake to get some sugar.
386 Brigade
"Li Yunlong, you really gave our 386th Brigade a new look!"
The brigade commander received a call from Li Yunlong, the leader of the new regiment, and learned that Li Yunlong had taken Qianjiazhuang. The brigade commander was delighted.
This time, with so many troops acting together, Li Yunlong took down Qianjiazhuang even before the little devil's plane arrived, and the brigade commander's face also glowed.
The brigade commander could predict that this little devil's ground troops would not be able to support Fortress Village and would definitely send planes.
"Brigade commander, you said before that if we can take first place, there will be a reward, right?" Li Yunlong said with a smile on the phone, "What is this reward? Is it a cannon?"
When the brigade commander heard this, he immediately said to Li Yunlong seriously: "Li Yunlong, you are not only a cannon, the higher-ups have to promote you to be the commander of our 129th Division."
When Li Yunlong heard this, he felt a little dizzy.
He still knows how much he weighs.
If we are promoted to deputy brigade commander, it will definitely not be difficult for me, Lao Li.
But if we, Lao Li, were to be the teacher, ahem, Lao Li would feel that he didn’t have this diamond yet.
So, Li Yunlong said to the brigade commander suspiciously: "Brigade commander, are you kidding me?"
The brigade commander said seriously: "You were the one who joked with me first."
Then the brigade commander started scolding: "You still want a cannon. You already have an Italian cannon. You are not satisfied yet. I managed to save this cannon with great difficulty. I give it to you. I, the brigade commander, am left empty-handed." Okay, do you think this is appropriate?"
In the past, the New Regiment and the Independent Regiment had six cannons combined, and the brigade commander had only one left. The other five were handed over to the headquarters.
"It's inappropriate, it's inappropriate. Whose cannon I want is not your cannon, brigadier commander." Li Yunlong laughed along and said, "Then what reward are you talking about? It's not like you want to buy me a drink." Bar."
"Li Yunlong, look at your little potential, a drink is nothing." said the brigade commander, "Aren't you planning to build some elite unit? I have found a serious instructor for you. He is from country D. Returned from studying abroad.”
Although the information Wu Ze left behind was very detailed, it was best to have professionals handle the training.
"Instructor, where did the instructor come from?" Li Yunlong paused.
Since he learned about the strategic value of the elite small unit, he has paid more and more attention to this small unit.
If there are specialized instructors to train them, they will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
"The man from the New Fourth Army is called Zhou Weiguo," the brigade commander said.
When Li Yunlong heard this, he was still a little stunned: "Brigade Commander, are you kidding me? Are the New Fourth Army willing to give us such talents?"
Li Yunlong still knew about the New Fourth Army. It was also his own team and was currently operating in southern Anhui.
The conditions over there are just as difficult as here... Oh no, to be precise, the conditions here are not difficult anymore.
Since Wu Ze arrived, the conditions of the Eighteenth Army have improved rapidly.
"You don't need to worry about this. I'm going to tell you the ugly story first. This Zhou Weiguo is a rare talent. When people come to your new group, you can serve me well and put away those bad habits of yours! "The brigade commander said solemnly, "If you kid makes me angry and run away..."
"I don't dare, I don't dare, brigade commander, how dare I, how dare I." Li Yunlong quickly interrupted, "Such a talent is simply a treasure. I will definitely treat him as an ancestor."
"Okay, I won't say any more nonsense. Hurry up and hide the things you brought back from Qianjiazhuang. The kid's plane is not a vegetarian." The brigade commander said.
"Yes, brigade commander." Li Yunlong ended the call with the brigade commander and rubbed his hands happily, "Great, this is great. The brigade commander is going to give us a new group of serious instructors."
"Captain, is it true?" Zhong Zhicheng was also pleasantly surprised.
Although what Wu Ze left behind was very good, during training, it was always a bit lacking.
Zhong Zhicheng also knew that there was a shortage of professional instructors.
"Old Zhong, get ready." Li Yunlong said to Zhong Zhicheng, "This baby is here, we have to greet people in the best way. The brigade commander said that he will not let me go if he loses his popularity."
"Captain, don't worry, I'll prepare it myself." Zhong Zhicheng.
After the brigade commander ended the call with Li Yunlong, he immediately wrote an order and called the cavalry correspondent: "Give this order to Commander Cheng of the 772nd Regiment."
"Yes." The cavalry correspondent ran away quickly.
…
Zhujiazhuang
"Master, this is the last bit of water in the village." A puppet army officer brought the water with a sour smell to Zhujiazhuang.
Zhujiazhuang was so thirsty that he couldn't care less about the sour smell, so he quickly picked it up and drank several gulps.
The puppet army officers on the side were stunned.
Although he was very thirsty, he didn't have the courage at all, let alone take a few big gulps.
"Ah, it's so refreshing, so refreshing, but the taste seems a bit familiar..." Zhujiazhuang felt that the taste of the water was a bit familiar, and looked at the puppet army officer in front of him suspiciously: "Where did this water come from?"
"Master, you washed your feet last night and forgot to pour the water..." The puppet army officer did not finish his words.
vomit!
Zhujiazhuang immediately felt his stomach churning, and he vomited violently.
"Master, Master, Master, are you okay?" The puppet army officer patted Zhujiazhuang's back nervously.
"I'll fuck you!" The Zhujiazhuang owner vomited out his bile, kicked the puppet army officer away, picked up his pistol and wanted to kill someone.
This turned out to be his own foot-washing water. This puppet army officer was simply looking for death!
And the owner of the Zhujia Village didn't know that it would be nice to have foot-washing water at this time.
Some of the workers and puppet soldiers below began to drink urine.
The housekeeper on one side quickly stopped the owner of the Zhu Family Village: "Master, Master, don't shoot, don't shoot. There is really no water in the village now. The village is at the end of its rope. No wonder Commander Yan."
…
At this moment, Cheng Xiazi outside Zhujiazhuang also received an order from the brigade commander.
The brigade commander urged Cheng Xiazi in his order to take Zhujiazhuang as soon as possible, as the little Japanese's plane might be coming at any time.
Of course, at the end of the order, it was mentioned by the way that Li Yunlong and Kong Jie had already taken down Qianjiazhuang.
Cheng Xiazi looked at the last part of the order and felt very worried: "Damn it, if my Italian cannon was intact, how could I allow him, Li Yunlong, to be so arrogant!"
"Captain Cheng, don't worry too much." Commander 771 advised, "Now Zhujiazhuang will soon be exhausted. We can capture him without any effort."
The leader of the 771st regiment was actually very concerned about it. After all, the 771st regiment was also the main regiment of the 386th brigade. It was well-established and fed on royal food. He must have felt uncomfortable being overwhelmed by Li Yunlong and Kong Jie again.
But it doesn't make sense to care or not at this time. Li Yunlong has already made a fool of himself.
"Come on, go to Zhujiazhuang and shout again." Cheng Xiazi said angrily, "If you don't surrender, all the puppet army officers will die when Zhuangzi takes it!"
"Yes." Someone immediately shouted to Zhujiazhuang.
When the puppet soldiers in Zhujiazhuang heard about this new threat, they quickly came to report to the owner of Zhujiazhuang.
The owner of the Zhujia Village was still frightened when he heard this.
All the puppet army officers and officers will die. Although he is the owner of the fortress, he must be included.
Now, Zhujiazhuang is also in a desperate situation. Reinforcements have been delayed and may never come.
At this time, if you delay any longer, you will be in trouble.
The owner of Zhujiazhuang quickly ran to the gate and shouted towards Blind Cheng: "Captain Cheng, we are surrendering now. You must promise to treat the prisoners preferentially and not kill me."
When Blind Cheng heard what the Zhu family owner said, he really didn't want to let this bastard go.
You fucking waited until now to surrender, wasting up too much of my time.
He even compared me to Li Yunlong.
But Cheng Xiazi could only suppress the rage in his heart. Zhujiazhuang could no longer hold on anymore and was about to surrender. If he used his will to make the other party continue to resist him, the Japanese planes would come as soon as he said they were coming. It was no joke.
So Cheng Xiazi replied: "We on the Eighth Route Army will treat the prisoners preferentially. As long as you surrender now, we promise to treat the prisoners preferentially."
"You are not allowed to instigate the common people to do harm to us." The owner of the Zhu family village was still worried.
When Blind Cheng heard that the Zhu family owner was quite talkative, he really wanted to fight him.
But he could only suppress his anger: "Don't worry, don't worry, I will follow our policies in everything."
When the owner of the Zhujia Village heard this, he ordered people to open the village and surrender.
The men of the 772nd and 771st regiments took Qianjiazhuang.
People from the 772nd and 771st regiments seized the time to transport and harvest food supplies.
The same scene also played out in other fort villages.
Due to the hot weather, the water supply in the fortress villages was cut off. Many other fortress villages could not bear it anymore and chose to surrender.
The same is true here in Lijiazhuang.
The Li family has a huge business, and the amount of water it needs is astronomical.
Lijiazhuang did not hold out for long before it began to surrender.
A large number of Eighth Route Army soldiers and ordinary people poured into Lijiazhuang, frantically harvesting food supplies.
At the same time, because Lijiazhuang is the largest fortress village, the amount of food supplies is huge and cannot be collected in a short time.
The Japanese plane came and dropped many bombs here.
boom!
boom!
boom!
…
The bomb exploded into clouds of fire on the ground, and the ground was blown into honeycomb.
Although the Eighth Route Army soldiers and ordinary people arranged camouflage in advance, they still suffered certain losses.
Fortunately, the number of Japanese aircraft is not very large.
Coupled with the cover of night, planes cannot come.
The troops and people of the 18th Army tried their best to harvest food supplies at night to avoid threats from the air to the greatest extent.
Although the quantity of sugar collected from Fort Village was not large, it was quickly sent to the headquarters of the 18th Army.
Eighteenth Army Headquarters
"Lao Peng, half of the fortress villages have surrendered." The chief of general staff happily said to the deputy commander.
"The Japanese plane has appeared," the deputy commander said.
"Well, the Japanese aircraft appeared and caused us a certain amount of damage. Fortunately, it was within the tolerance range." said the Chief of General Staff.
"How much sugar was confiscated?" the deputy commander asked through gritted teeth.
Although the damage caused by this aircraft was within the bearable range, the deputy commander still gritted his teeth and still hated this threat from the sky.
"The quantity is not large, less than a hundred kilograms." said the Chief of General Staff. "It is expected that if all the fortress villages are taken down, the amount of sugar seized plus the amount of sugar at our headquarters will be about two hundred kilograms."
"Two hundred pounds of sugar, I wonder if Wu Ze will have enough." The deputy commander pondered.
"Wu Ze is already the logistics section chief. He must be able to get more sugar at Station 23," the chief of general staff said.
The 18th Army sacked more than twenty fortresses, and Yoshio Shinozuka must have been furious.
If it weren't for the First Army's inability to summon sufficient military strength in a short time, Yoshio Shinozuka would have launched a retaliatory encirclement and suppression frantically.
Once Shinozuka Yoshio's main force is freed up, he will definitely have to carry out a brutal sweep.
It is even more urgent to kill Yoshio Shinozuka's plane.
"Don't forget, this sugar is also a strategic resource for the Japanese army." The deputy commander said solemnly, "Even if Wu Ze becomes the logistics section chief of Station 23, I guess it will be quite difficult to get sugar. , we still have to continue to think of ways."
"You mean..." the chief of general staff said thoughtfully, "should we find a solution from the national army?"
"Contact the National Army and buy sugar from them," said the deputy commander.
"Okay, I'll try my best to think of a solution." The chief of general staff nodded.
