With a team of thousands of people, why couldn't the surrounding scouts even see their shadows after the battle? Did they disappear out of thin air?
There is a high probability that they have been annihilated on the battlefield.
"Hurry! Mobilize all the reconnaissance forces for me to investigate, and you will see people dead or corpses!"
"I can't believe that there won't be a single person alive in the New 1st Brigade after a battle!"
"Go!" the boss roared with bloodshot eyes.
"It's the boss!" The communications soldier responded loudly and hurried out.
After saying this, the boss sat blankly on his chair and said nothing for a long time.
Half a moment.
"Lao Zuo, do you still have cigarettes?" The boss sat in his chair and stared blankly for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Staff Zuo and said.
"Yes, yes."
Ying and Zuo Staff handed over a box of Xuanhemen.
"I want dry tobacco, but this one is weak." The boss said in a low voice.
"Dry cigarettes? Didn't you always say that dry cigarettes choke your throat?" At this moment, Staff Officer Zuo seemed to have come to his senses again and rolled two dry cigarettes and handed them over without saying anything more.
Only then did Boss Yanjian blow out a heavy breath of smoke.
When Staff Officer Zuo saw this, he didn't know what to say and was about to continue his work. He knew that the boss might be a little guilty.
Perhaps he regretted letting Lin Zhong join that battlefield, but thinking about it later, it was clearly hell and a slaughterhouse for the Japanese. Yangquan City, which was besieged by nearly a hundred thousand troops, could be destroyed at any time.
After smoking two cigarettes, the boss rolled six more, sat on a chair and smoked while looking at the sky outside the window. He smoked eight cigarettes without saying a word before getting up and getting ready to continue working.
All the staff members could see the disappointment in the boss's eyes at this moment, so they didn't dare to say a word.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire command post dropped to freezing point.
At this moment, a communications soldier suddenly burst in with a grin on his face.
"Report to the boss!"
"Huh? Why are you so happy? Tell me quickly." The boss said in a deep voice.
"It's Brigadier Lin! Brigadier Lin!" The communications soldier bent over and shouted breathlessly. He was exhausted from running several hundred meters in one breath.
The boss looked surprised after hearing this, "Lin Zhong? Is there any news about that kid so soon?"
"Boss, Brigadier Lin has arrived at the door." A voice came from outside the door just as the communications soldier finished speaking breathlessly.
"Report to the boss!"
"Commander Lin Zhong of the new first brigade and political commissar Zhou Weiguo come to the headquarters to report!"
The entire command post's staff and bosses all looked outside the door. Lin Zhong and Zhou Weiguo were giving military salutes uprightly.
"Hahaha!"
"come on in!"
"There is no news about your kid anywhere. I thought you died."
"Tell me first why you didn't contact the headquarters!" The boss called Lin Zhong to him and scolded him.
Knowing that he would be scolded first when he came in, Lin Zhong turned his head and glanced at Zhou Weiguo.
Zhou Weiguo took a step forward and said, "Repay the boss."
"Unfortunately, the New Brigade lost three radio operators in this battle and also blew up all the radio stations, so contact with the headquarters was temporarily lost."
"After leaving the battlefield, Lin Zhong and I immediately returned to the headquarters to report."
"Boss, please calm down." Zhou Weiguo said with a smile on his face.
The boss nodded. Zhou Weiguo still believed him. After all, this was the person he personally selected in order to be able to supervise Lin Zhong and stop this bastard from doing anything impulsive.
In short, it will be fine if nothing happens, it will be fine if nothing happens...
Lin Zhong had a smile on his face when he saw him again. Why did he feel like this kid was fine? Does this look like someone who just came off a large-scale battlefield?
Immediately afterwards, Lin Zhonghe and his boss gave a detailed report on the battle.
Standing in front of the boss, Lin Zhong began to report. The first part was similar to what was said in the battle report. The Japanese army pressed on the city and surrounded Yangquan. The city was also in short supply of food. All four major positions were severely damaged...
But then the more I listened, the more something was wrong.
When he heard the end, the boss suddenly put the tea cup on the table and raised his head, almost spitting out a mouthful of tea.
"What did you say?"
"You said you disguised yourself as a Japs and attacked the Japs artillery positions in the rear!"
"You said that your new brigade fought a bloody road to clear the way for reinforcements?"
...
After talking about it for a while, the boss who finally said it was really unbelievable. He said that he had made a huge contribution, but when asked what kind of firepower equipment was used, there would always be only three or eight guns for two people.
Lin Zhong nodded, "Yes, boss."
The boss frowned, "Fart!"
"Don't tell me that only your new brigade can connect several Japanese positions with the 38 big cover."
"Then he's an elite member of the Japs. If Yang Quan is so easy to beat, there's no way he'll be in trouble."
"And I still can't figure out why Yan Laoxi calls you by name."
"Tell me, are you hiding something from me?"
Lin Zhong was stunned. It seemed that the boss had noticed it. So what? Refuse to admit it!
Anyway, I have already said hello to Yan Laoxi and Chu Yunfei before, and Lin Zhong's battle plan must be kept top secret.
"I don't know either, boss!"
"The new brigade is in trouble!"
"After this battle, we didn't gain anything because we retreated early. It's likely that life will be even more difficult." Lin Zhong sighed.
The boss and all the staff just looked at Lin Zhong, they couldn't believe what he said! This guy is definitely hiding his firepower!
But...I couldn't find any evidence for a while.
At this time, the boss turned his head and looked at Zhou Weiguo again. Now Lin Zhong really couldn't believe what he said.
Zhou Weiguo was stunned, this is putting pressure on me again...
"Ahem!"
"Boss, what Lin Zhong said is indeed true. Although our weapons and equipment are lagging behind on the battlefield, the Japanese who often make unexpected moves were caught off guard. This really added strength to the battle of Yangquan and definitely did not embarrass our Eighth Route Army!"
As he said that, Zhou Weiguo suddenly sighed again and continued: "In this battle, the equipment of the New 1st Brigade was greatly depleted, and there was even less than three days of usable food..."
Zhou Weiguo's face didn't turn red and his heart didn't beat after this.
Damn it! It has to be you, Weiguo! I dare not say it is so outrageous.
At first, they were just talking about poor equipment, but now they are talking about the new brigade being starved to death.
Lin Zhong was shocked and couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Zhou Weiguo, awesome!
The boss and all the staff members sighed together. Since it was Zhou Weiguo who said it, there should be no lie.
"Sigh, since the establishment of your new brigade, the headquarters has not given you much help. This time you have participated in such a difficult and dangerous battle, which makes things difficult for you."
After finishing his words, the boss waved his hand and said, "Commander Yang, immediately send a note to the New 1st Brigade and send someone back to deliver 100 bags of white flour and 500 kilograms of sweet potatoes to them."
"It's the boss!" Staff Yang in the corner responded.
"As for the equipment issue, your military factory should be on the right track now. The equipment produced should be enough for you for the time being. If it is not enough, report it to the headquarters."
Lin Zhong smiled, "Thank you, boss!"
It seems that the boss still doesn't know the productivity of the Xinyi Brigade Arms Factory, otherwise it will just be enough?
Then the boss warned Lin Zhong again, and then Lin Zhong took Zhou Weiguo and left the headquarters.
As soon as Lin Zhong left the headquarters, he heard the sound of hearty laughter...
