On this side of the river, the troops of the Jinsui Army arrived.
The powerful blizzard failed to conquer the twenty-meter-wide river.
The river has not frozen yet and is still flowing slowly.
Of course, there was ice on both sides of the river bank.
The thick layer of ice froze the soil and the corpses of the Japanese soldiers together.
"The troops of the Eighteenth Group Army, they really blew up the bridge on the river!" The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army breathed a sigh of relief when they looked at the remaining bridges on both sides of the river.
At this time, the achievement of annihilating three Japanese divisions could no longer be achieved.
The soldiers of the Jinsui Army pushed aside the snow on the river bank, revealing corpses with various desperate expressions underneath.
After taking photos of the scene, the number of bodies was then counted.
There is still a gap of several thousand in the calculated quantity.
But it's not important anymore. There must have been a large number of Japanese soldiers trying to forcefully cross the river, and then they were taken away by the river god.
After the corpses were counted, pits were dug and buried.
Otherwise, the corpse will rot and cause plague easily. .
On this side of the river, the soldiers of the Jinsui Army were working hard.
On the other side of the heavy artillery unit, it was a different scene.
When the soldiers of the Jinsui Army arrived here, the heavy artillery was basically gone.
There were no shells left, only the corpses of the Japanese soldiers who had been frozen to death, and dozens of corpses of the Japanese soldiers who had been shot.
"This must be the work of the 18th Group Army." The officers and soldiers of the Jinsui Army were very angry.
On the one hand, he sent someone to notify Bo Zuoyi, and on the other hand, he followed the traces.
"Commander Bo, there is not even a hair left in the heavy artillery unit except for the Japanese corpses. This must be the troops of the 18th Group Army who stole our spoils." Someone ran over and reported to Bo Zuoyi, " We have sent people to chase him."
"Take me there quickly." Upon hearing this, Bo Zuoyi immediately asked someone to lead the way.
This is no small matter. If things go wrong, both sides may get into a fight.
Only the Jinsui Army and the 18th Group Army joined forces to achieve such a great victory.
This shows that only by continuing to unite can the two armies continue to survive.
If you start internal strife in advance, you will only waste your own strength and give the enemy an advantage.
new brigade
"Brigadier, let's do this, and the Jinsui Army will catch up with us and ask for an explanation. We are still a little unsure." Yang Dali approached Li Yunlong.
Last time, Yang Dali led his troops to loot the machine tools at Hecun Arsenal. They were taken back from the Japanese. This was more or less justified.
But this time, it was... Although it was also taken from the hands of the Japanese, the Jinsui Army paid so many casualties, and we took the best things behind our backs. Such a shameless thing, Yang Dali is really … Anyway, our face is not as thick as that of Lao Li.
"Yang Dali, if you talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!" Li Yunlong yelled, "What did we do? We obviously didn't do anything!"
"That's right, Yang Dali, you kid, don't slap the shit pot on the brigade commander's head." Zhang Dabiao immediately stopped blushing and gasped, "We didn't do anything, so don't fucking surrender yourself!"
"Okay, okay, okay, it's me, Yang Dali, who is confused. It's me who's confused." Yang Dali didn't argue and said, "If the Jinsui Army really catches up, I won't confront him. I'm afraid I won't perform well. !”
"Yang Dali, you are so scared. I give Jinsui Army some courage. If he dares to forcefully accuse me, the guys in my hands are not vegetarians." Li Yunlong glared and cursed, "Look. You look like a loser. If the Jinsui Army really catches up with you, get behind me and don't embarrass me."
Okay, as soon as Li Yunlong said these words, someone ran over and reported nervously, "Brigadier, the Jinsui Army is catching up."
"What are you afraid of? It's the Jinsui Army who is catching up, not the Japanese." Li Yunlong yelled, "Brothers, get rid of all these guys. If the Jinsui Army dares to doubt me, I'll give it to you." Get rid of them!"
"Yes." The soldiers of the new brigade roared, as if they were a pile of dry firewood.
As long as Li Yunlong's spark is fanned, the fire will burst into flames.
The officers of the Jinsui Army caught up, and the new first brigade had already set up its formation.
"I am Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. Which unit are you from?" One of the officers of the Jinsui Army walked out, it was Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment.
On the surface, Chu Yunfei is just a regiment commander, but his status is no worse than that of an ordinary brigade commander.
"I am the new 1st brigade of the 129th Division of the 18th Group Army, and I am Li Yunlong, the commander of the new 1st brigade!" Li Yunlong announced his family name.
"It turns out to be the famous Brigadier Li. Chu is lucky enough to meet him." When Chu Yunfei heard that it was Li Yunlong, his tone of voice was very polite.
The recent series of illustrious military exploits of the New 1st Brigade are obvious to all in the World War II zone.
Especially the rumors that the strategic masters of the 18th Group Army came from Li Yunlong's subordinates, which made people dare not underestimate the new brigade easily.
"Captain Chu, what do you mean when you and your men rush to catch up?" In the past, Lao Li would have looked at Chu Yunfei with a high regard.
On the surface, Chu Yunfei was just a regiment leader, but in fact he already had five thousand men under his command. He also had the privilege of recruiting soldiers independently. Other officers of the Jinsui Army did not have such rights.
This all depends on Chu Yunfei's strong backstage connections.
But now, the thousands of elites under our old Li Xinyi Brigade are no worse than Chu Yunfei's 358th Regiment. Therefore, the tone in which Old Li speaks to Chu Yunfei now seems a bit aggressive.
With a strong waist, we speak much louder than usual!
"Brigadier Li, you must have done something wrong by taking the troops back in such a hurry." Seeing Li Yunlong rushing like this, Chu Yunfei did not dare to speak too directly, but was more tactful.
"I, Li Yunlong, work openly and aboveboard. Whatever I do, I admit it directly. If I didn't do it, I didn't do it! You surnamed Chu, don't accuse others unjustly!" Li Yunlong glared at Chu Yunfei, "Don't beat around the bush when you talk to me. If you have anything to say, just say it!”
Zhang Dabiao echoed: "The reason why our brigade commander hurried back is because our brigade commander just got married and his wife is still waiting at home. After the battle is over, the brigade commander must go back to accompany his wife as soon as possible. Commander Chu, Is there a problem with this!"
"Hahahaha!" The soldiers of the new brigade all laughed.
"May I ask Brigadier Li, what kind of battle did your unit fight?" Chu Yunfei looked unhappy.
"Three divisions of the Japs were trapped. Yoshio Shinozuka transferred mechanized troops to seize the two bridges. I led my men to clean up the Japs' mechanized troops and blew up the bridges by the way." Li Yunlong said, "When the blizzard comes, even if some of these little devils want to run back, without a bridge, they can only be frozen to death on the river bank by the blizzard. Commander Chu, if you take people to the other side of the river to see now, you will definitely You can see a lot of corpses, and they were all killed by us, Lao Li."
After hearing this, Chu Yunfei pretended to praise: "Brigadier Li is really a hero. On behalf of the Jinsui Army, I would like to thank you for your help and support."
Immediately, Chu Yunfei wanted to say what else did Brigadier Li do besides that.
As a result, before Chu Yunfei could speak, Li Yunlong was the first to smile and said: "Captain Chu, you are so polite, but I, Li Yunlong, am a real person, and I don't care about verbal thanks. If you really want to thank me, my new brigade, you How about giving me some weapons and equipment for the new brigade?"
Zhang Dabiao immediately answered: "Captain Chu, you are from a wealthy family, so giving us some equipment is nothing to you."
"Captain Chu, we don't want more. Just give us a few dozen machine guns and twenty mortars." Yang Dali also interrupted.
When Chu Yunfei heard this, his expression changed instantly.
Shameless, this new brigade is so shameless.
He swallowed the heavy artillery of three Japanese divisions without admitting it, and now he has the nerve to beg for something! !
"Brigadier Li, it's boring to talk about this." Chu Yunfei said, "I heard that you, Brigadier Li, are people who never walk empty-handed. If you don't pick up something while walking, you will throw it away. People like you Man, if you come out with a brigade, you only blow up the bridge to kill the Japs’ mechanized troops, and if you don’t bring something back, I’m afraid this is not in line with your Brigadier Li’s temper.”
Although Chu Yunfei's mood swings were severe, he still tried to speak tactfully.
The situation is not going well now, and it is easy for the gun to go off.
Valley Pilgrim
"Captain Chu, what you said is wrong!" Li Yunlong defended, "I was bitten by a snake once, and I have been afraid of ropes for ten years. Last time, I tried my best to push my troops towards the tiger." Just by telling the truth, I narrowly escaped death and led the Japs into the ambush of your Jinsui Army. In the end, your Jinsui Army wiped out the Japs army. It’s okay if you don’t thank me, Old Li, but you actually slandered me, Old Li, for looting your Jinsui Army. The machine tools of the Hecun Arsenal. My old man Li was obviously being chased by the Japs. How could I have the free time to loot the machine tools of the Hecun Arsenal, but you insist on saying that it was me who did it? This really makes our old man crazy. Li Han was heartbroken. You said, even though we, Old Li, have nothing in our hands, we are still suspected by your Jinsui Army. This time, do I, Old Li, dare to fish for something? If I have something in my hands, shouldn’t I be blackmailed to death by your Jinsui Army? !”
"Captain Chu, as the saying goes, if you are a thief, you will get the stolen goods; if you catch an adulterer, you will get both!" Zhang Dabiao shouted, "You can just doubt people without evidence. Aren't you afraid that your Jinsui Army will doubt friendly troops like this?" Do you bear the blame for friction?"
Yang Dali also intervened: "If there is evidence, our New First Brigade will admit it, but if you want to doubt the character of our brigade commander just by talking about it, then our New First Brigade will not accept it. Yesterday, our New First Brigade The first brigade lost a hundred cannons, the Japs were wiped out by the blizzard, and your Jinsui Army was the only one on the battlefield. I now seriously suspect that your Jinsui Army stole one hundred of our cannons. Commander Chu, should you now? Give the cannon back to our brigade commander!"
"Haha, yes, this brother-in-law can talk!" Li Yunlong smiled inwardly. He had scolded this brother-in-law for not being good at acting before. Look, look, he is so good at acting, even we can't compare.
Li Yunlong immediately looked at Chu Yunfei: "Captain Chu, our new brigade has lost a hundred cannons. You, the Jinsui Army, are the most suspicious. I..."
Chu Yunfei has a good temper and can endure Li Yunlong's shamelessness, but the other Jinsui troops are different.
Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and roared towards Li Yunlong: "Commander Li, you are the real slanderer! It's not that our Jinsui Army looks down on your New 1st Brigade or your 18th Group Army. You have a hundred A cannon? All of your cannons combined don’t even have that many, you’re really just asking for them!”
"Who said our New 1st Brigade didn't have a hundred artillery pieces? I robbed the Japanese armament warehouse and the Japanese military columns. Combined, we got more than 200 artillery pieces!" Lao Li yelled. , "How about we make a bet. I can ask my men to go back immediately and show you another hundred artillery pieces. If I can do it, the hundred artillery pieces lost by my new regiment will be yours." The Jinsui Army stole it, you have to pay it back to me, don’t you dare to bet!"
"Yes, do you dare to bet on whether your Jinsui Army has any talent?" Zhang Dabiao agreed.
Yang Dali also said: "If you don't dare to gamble, then you have no guts and are a coward!"
"That's enough, you New 1st Brigade, stop interrupting." An officer of the Jinsui Army roared, "Let's make it clear now. The cannons and shells in the heavy artillery units of the three Japanese divisions are missing. You New A journey..."
Although the officers of the Jinsui Army were angry, they were not stupid.
Maybe, the other party can really produce a hundred artillery pieces, but this bet will definitely not be accepted.
Before the officer of the Jinsui Army finished speaking, Li Yunlong said angrily: "What, now you are suspicious that I, Li Yunlong, took the cannon of the Japanese heavy artillery unit! Which one of you saw it? You just doubt me, machine gunner, etc. without evidence." Prepare it for me!”
The machine gunners of the new brigade immediately pulled the bolts of their guns and raised their muzzles.
The scene quickly became tense.
Zhang Dabiao threw his hat down and pointed his knife at the Jinsui Army officer who spoke: "You Jinsui Army still haven't returned our 100 cannons from the New 1st Brigade. If you don't, I will chop you up today!"
Yang Dali also stepped forward with murderous intent: "Whoever saw it was taken by our New 1st Brigade, please come forward! I have to help him see his eyes. Is he really blind or pretending to be blind?"
"You guys from the New 1st Brigade are so shameless, you really think that our Jinsui Army is afraid..." The officers of the Jinsui Army shouted, seeing that the situation was about to get out of control.
Chu Yunfei and others were still awake and quickly stopped him: "Don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense."
This fight will lead to great things.
"Captain Chu, what's wrong with you? Obviously..." The officers of the Jinsui Army were shouting something.
"Commander Bo is here." Following the order, the scene quickly became quiet.
Bo Zuoyi came over. Li Yunlong asked someone to put down their weapons and saluted Bo Zuoyi: "Hello, Commander Bo, we meet again."
Li Yunlong still admires Bo Zuoyi.
He knows the general picture and the overall situation better than most of the officers of the Jinsui Army.
Of course, there is no ambiguity in fighting the Japanese.
"What's going on?" Bo Zuoyi returned the salute to Li Yunlong and then pretended to question Chu Yunfei and others.
"Commander Bo, all the cannons and shells in the Japanese heavy artillery unit are gone. It must be their new brigade that did it." The officers of the Jinsui Army complained to Bo Zuoyi one after another.
Li Yunlong shouted: "I have nothing now. Are you blind? Commander Bo, your dog bites people, you still don't care!"
"You guys are farting. Our New 1st Brigade also lost a hundred cannons. These were stolen by your Jinsui Army!" Zhang Dabiao shouted.
"Shut up!" Bo Zuoyi calmed down the scene, and then looked at Li Yunlong seriously: "Commander Li, I only want to ask you one question now, and you just need to answer me truthfully."
"Commander Bo, please ask."
"Did you get the stuff from the Japanese heavy artillery unit?" Bo Zuoyi asked.
"Commander Bo, look at all my troops empty-handed." Li Yunlong spread his hands.
"Very good." Bo Zuoyi nodded and said, "It seems this is a misunderstanding."
"Commander Bo, since this is a misunderstanding, can I leave?" Li Yunlong didn't hesitate.
"Brigadier Li, thank you for leading your troops to cut off the Japanese army's retreat and supporting our troops in the battle." Bo Zuoyi said, "After I finish handling the affairs, I will definitely take the time to come and thank you."
"Commander Bo, there is no need to thank you verbally. If you really want to thank me, just bring something." Li Yunlong said.
"Li, don't go too far..." When the officers of the Jinsui Army heard this, they immediately got angry again.
But he was stopped by Bo Zuoyi's glare. Bo Zuoyi turned to look at Li Yunlong: "Commander Li, thank you for your help in making suggestions. If there is a chance, I am willing to..."
"No chance." Li Yunlong interrupted directly, "If you want to send something, I welcome it. As for anything else, let's not talk about it."
After saying that, Li Yunlong walked away with his troops.
"Commander Bo, it's clear that his new regiment has taken the heavy artillery, so you just let them go?" Seeing Li Yunlong leading the troops away, the officers of the Shanxi-Sui Army were unwilling to give in.
That's the heavy artillery of three divisions. It's not a small sum, it's a windfall.
"If you don't let them go, why don't we fight with them, we will both lose, and then take advantage of the enemy!" Bo Zuoyi was solemn.
"But this is too much for us..." The officers of the Jinsui Army were dissatisfied.
"Don't forget, if it hadn't been for the help of others, our Jinsui Army might have been killed by the Japanese by taking advantage of the snowstorm." Bo Zuoyi interrupted again, "Besides, haven't you seen that the soldiers of the New First Brigade are all empty?" Come on, don’t you carry heavy artillery?”
"Commander Bo means..." The officers of the Jinsui Army were thoughtful.
"There is only one explanation, and that is that they are hiding it." Bo Zuoyi said, "Hurry up and look for it. If you find it, the things will be ours. If you can't do anything like finding things, then these heavy artillery pieces are doomed. It’s not ours anymore.”
"Let's go find the heavy artillery." The officers of the Jinsui Army stopped making trouble and quickly mobilized their troops to find the heavy artillery.
"Commander Bo, can we really find heavy artillery?" Someone couldn't help but ask Bo Zuoyi.
"I don't know, just leave it to fate." Bo Zuoyi originally wanted to say that Balu's hiding of things was due to his skill and not his fault, but he still didn't say that.
Generally speaking, the Eighteenth Group Army is now not as strong as the Jinsui Army.
With these heavy artillery in the hands of the Eighteenth Group Army, and under the command of that strategic master, the allies of the Jinsui Army have become larger and more powerful, which is actually of greater benefit to the Jinsui Army.
"Brigadier, this Jinsui Army's righteousness is quite reasonable. If it hadn't been for him today, there would have been a real fight." Yang Dali said to Li Yunlong.
"That's right, if it hadn't been for Bo Zuoyi last time, I might not have been able to escape." Li Yunlong had a good impression of Bo Zuoyi.
"Brigade commander, the Jinsui Army is not stupid either. They must have guessed that we hid the heavy artillery, and they will definitely look for it..." Zhang Dabiao said.
"If the Jinsui Army can find the heavy artillery, why should I go to all the trouble to hide the artillery!" Li Yunlong was very calm.
"Haha, that's right, that's right. Forgive them, the Jinsui Army, they can't find what we've stolen even if they dig deep into the ground!" Zhang Dabiao laughed.
"Brigade commander, when we came out, Xiao Wu didn't let us cause trouble. You said that we hid the heavy artillery and almost got into trouble with the Jinsui Army. Does this count as causing trouble?" Yang Dali approached Li Yunlong.
"Who said we hid the heavy artillery? We didn't do it at all!" Li Yunlong became shameless again.
"Yes, yes, we obviously didn't do anything." Zhang Dabiao agreed.
If we didn't do it, we wouldn't be in trouble.
As for whether we can hide it from the smart guy Xiao Wu, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he is one of our own.
Yang Dali didn't say anything. Even if the trouble got bigger, Xiao Wu would definitely be able to help the brigade commander settle the trouble.
