Things are just like what happened in the TV series.
After Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang had a quarrel, the First Battalion also returned smoothly with the loot.
Since the group leader and the political commissar also talked openly, their relationship became more harmonious than at the beginning.
The two men heard the neighing of war horses before they even left the headquarters.
Li Yunlong quickened his pace and took Zhao Gang to greet the triumphant team.
"Reporting to the captain, the Wanjia Town raid mission was successfully completed. A total of 192 horses, two crooked handles, rifles and bullets were seized!" The first battalion commander stood at attention and reported the results of the raid mission to Li Yunlong.
"Very good!" Li Yunlong was very happy. War horses were the main target this time. Unexpectedly, he could hunt rabbits and get two light machine guns.
Zhao Gang also followed Li Yunlong and inspected the troops.
Although these soldiers looked tired, they were in good spirits. Many of them were even defeated, and there were a few seriously injured soldiers who had to be supported by their comrades before they could stand here.
Zhao Gang quickly walked around, came to the side of the first battalion commander, and asked: "How are the casualties of the first battalion?"
"Reporting to the political commissar, one person from the first battalion was killed and 26 were slightly injured!"
"Aren't you seriously injured?"
"Report to the political commissar, there are no serious injuries!"
Zhao Gang did not ask further. It was impossible for such a battalion-level battle to be without serious injuries. The reason why the first battalion commander reported this was because soldiers who were seriously injured might be transferred to the hospital at the brigade headquarters.
This is the last thing these lovely warriors want to face. As long as they can walk and pull the trigger, they will not retreat from the battlefield.
"Have all the injured soldiers been placed?"
"Report to the political commissar, not yet!"
"Then go quickly!" Zhao Gang's tone was a bit high, because he had already seen that there were already soldiers in the team who couldn't support themselves and fainted.
The first battalion commander glanced at Li Yunlong.
"Look at what I'm doing. Isn't the political commissar giving me orders? Go quickly!" Li Yunlong roared.
"Yes!" The battalion commander saluted and immediately led the team to treat their injuries.
Watching the team leave, Li Yunlong walked to Zhao Gang and said, "It is better for you, Political Commissar Zhao, to be careful."
The first battalion went down, but the deputy commander Kong Jie did not leave.
"Lao Kong? Is there anything else?"
"Yes! Let's go to the headquarters."
In the headquarters, Kong Jie placed two bullet casings on the table: "Commander, look at this, does it look familiar?"
Li Yunlong held a cartridge case, "This is the cartridge case from the American submachine gun used by the special forces named Yamamoto Kazuki. What, Lao Kong, have you noticed their movements?"
"On the way back, I passed Lin's store and met comrades from the Linxian county brigade." After saying this, Kong Jie sighed, "That bastard Yamamoto raided Lin's store on the night of New Year's Eve. More than thirty guerrillas, Not one of the more than a hundred villagers was spared."
As soon as the news came out, both Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang's expressions became very gloomy.
Suddenly, Li Yunlong slammed the table and cursed: "Fuck you little devil!"
Unlike Li Yunlong, when Zhao Gang parted with Xu San, Xu San warned him to be careful about what the Japanese might do on New Year's Eve.
"This shouldn't be the case. I have already reported the news to my superiors about the possible actions of the Japs on New Year's Eve, and they also attach great importance to it. Did the Linxian County Brigade violate the order?" Zhao Gang raised his own question.
"Hey, only regiment-level organizations are equipped with telephones or radios. In order for the brigade headquarters' order to be sent to the county brigade, the communication battalion will probably have to ride over. You didn't report this information until the 29th. It's very possible. The Linxian county brigade had not received the order when it was raided, or the signal troops were intercepted and killed by the Japanese on the road." Kong Jie said the reason.
Zhao Gang clenched his fists. He really hated himself at this moment. He hated himself for why he didn't report this information as soon as he arrived at the Independent Regiment. Instead, he had to spend half an hour with Li Yulong before reporting it, or why he heard this information at that time. Personnel should be allocated to report.
However, there is no medicine for regret in this world. He can only turn regret into strength and devote himself to the revolution.
After gathering his emotions, Zhao Gang found that Li Yunlong was already standing in front of the map and began to think intently.
After a moment, Li Yunlong shouted: "Communications Corps!"
"Go and call Monk Wei!"
"yes!"
Not long after, Monk Wei arrived at the headquarters.
Li Yunlong called him to the map and pointed a branch to a location near Ping'an City: "Monk, is this the place you escaped from?"
"yes!"
After watching for a while, Li Yunlong cursed: "Damn, these little devils are really capable of doing anything. If they were hiding near Ping'an City, then this attack would have covered forty or fifty kilometers." After finishing, he drew a line on the map with a branch: "Zhong Yangjun is such a fucking waste, just let people come and cross him."
Speaking of Zhong Yangjun, Monk Wei was a little embarrassed and lowered his head subconsciously.
"I'm not fucking talking about you, why are you lowering your head!" Li Yunlong cursed at Monk Wei, and then said, "There is still too little information. Monk, tell me the characteristics of those little devils again."
Monk Wei once again told what he saw and heard in the prisoner of war camp, and then went down, while Li Yunlong was still looking at the map in a daze.
Kong Jie and Zhao Gang knew that he was not in a daze, but was conceiving a battle plan.
"I feel like this guy Yamamoto may be eager to prove something, otherwise it would be impossible for the two sneak attacks to be so close together."
"Lao Li, what you said is possible."
"I estimate that he may make some moves recently, as little as half a month or as long as two months. Come on, Lao Kong, can you help me find out where he is most likely to make moves?"
Kong Jie also walked to the map, stared at it for a while, and then took the branch from Li Yunlong's hand: "Judging from the distance from their sneak attack on Lin's shop this time, their raiding ability is no less than that of the independent group, so I guess Their possible next targets may be these positions.”
"Then tell me, which of these places is most likely to be attacked by a sneak attack?" Li Yulong asked.
Kong Jie looked at the map and felt that several places were possible, but when asked which one it must be, he was really not sure.
"I think it might be Ding Wei!" Li Yunlong said lightly.
"You mean Ding Wei's new group?"
"No, it's Ding Wei! The killing of Bantian United is a great shame for the Japs in western Shanxi, so killing Ding Wei is the best way to take revenge."
"But wasn't you, Li Yunlong, the one who killed the Bantian Alliance?" Kong Jie asked in confusion.
"Because our independent regiment has already dealt with them once. Although we lost, we still have combat experience, so this is a difficult bone for us to crack."
"What about Ding Wei? The new group was created by you, and it's also not easy to chew."
"No, I'm talking about Ding Wei, not the new group. Have you forgotten Yamamoto's tactical thinking?"
"It's a beheading operation!"
