Finally, under Zhao Gang's repeated questioning, Kong Jie finally told the truth.
Zhao Gang was so angry. Li Yunlong had only been honest for a few days, but he made trouble again. He felt that he was under great pressure.
Li Yunlong did the right thing this time. It can be said that there was nothing wrong with picking on Xiao Rou.
But Zhao Gang was just unhappy. He was unhappy that Li Yunlong wouldn't discuss it with him. Even if they discussed it, could Zhao Gang stop him from going?
Now that he knows the cause and process, Zhao Gang has been relieved of half of his worries. The other part is that he is afraid that his superiors will come up with some urgent tasks. If Li Yunlong is not at the regiment headquarters, it will be difficult to explain. Also, the brigade commander had better not come to attack Qiu Feng. Last time he wiped out a Japanese squad, the brigade commander sent people to snatch two grenade launchers and half a box of melon grenades the next day.
After Kong Jie confessed and was given leniency, he saw that Zhao Gang's face looked better, so he continued: "Old Li doesn't let you know, it's actually for your own good!"
"For my own good, you should discuss it with me!" Zhao Gang still said angrily, but his tone was much gentler than before.
"Next time, definitely next time!" Kong Jie laughed and said.
Zhao Gang let out a long sigh, got on the kang, and sat across from Kong Jie: "Old Kong, we can't talk about this more than once. If you have anything to tell me, the Independent Regiment is not his and Li Yunlong's unit."
"Yeah! I know!" Kong Jie said and poured Zhao Gang a glass of wine.
Zhao Gang glanced at it and quickly blocked it, "That's it!"
The heavy rain outside has passed, but the sky has not cleared up yet, and drizzle as thin as silk threads is still falling sparsely. Kong Jie opened the window and let these threads pour into the house.
Kong Jie also poured himself a glass of wine, and then toasted to Zhao Gang, "Captain Ye and we were old comrades-in-arms during the Long March. Not many of our old comrades-in-arms are still alive now. Even if we are still alive, we can meet each other." It’s not easy anymore.”
Zhao Gang picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Kong Jie, looked at the completely dark sky outside, and said: "Never again, don't use bean bags as dry food, and political commissars as cadres."
Kong Jie took a sip of wine and said, "Who the f*ck used bean buns as dry food and labor and labor beat him to death!"
.
The First Battalion of the New Second Regiment on the Yawu position once again withstood a Japanese attack. Just like the previous round, the soldiers did not rest after retreating from this wave of attacks, but waited for the next wave of Japanese attacks. Coming.
But after waiting for a long time, no one came up, so Huang Liang sent out scouts again to find out the news.
Look at the sky, did the Japanese retreat just after dark?
Or is it because of the heavy rain?
But what is it? This time it was a fluke. The defense line was almost breached just now. If it hadn't been for the sudden heavy rain, maybe the position would have been really dangerous.
The sky was pitch black, with no starlight or moonlight, and even the earth was pitch black.
The world at this moment is completely shrouded in darkness.
In the distance, the Japanese soldiers lit up their lamps, and the stars were very clear.
The sound of raindrops falling on the ground and the chaotic footsteps of soldiers could be heard in my ears.
I don't know how long it took, but there was a rush of footsteps, and then I heard someone shouting, "Report."
The soldier in charge of the investigation came back and brought back the latest situation of the Japs.
It was learned from the scouts that the Japanese had begun to repair and tidy up the artillery positions. It seemed that the attack had been temporarily stopped.
Ordering the reconnaissance to inquire again, Huang Liang began to inspect the position again.
There was a feeling of hunger in my stomach. I took out half of the steamed bun, took two bites and put it away again.
The cooking squad has been brought to the front by the regiment leader. There is no hope of expecting them to cook, so we should save some food on the half of the steamed buns we have.
The darkness made it almost impossible to see anything, and he could only rely on his voice and memory to check the current situation of the position.
At the same time, he also needs to redistribute the personnel combination.
Because the regiment leader had told him that this Kurosawa would carry out night attacks, so the soldiers with night blindness must be separated and cannot be gathered together.
After a busy meal, the scout came back again. This time he reported that the Japanese had started cooking, and they even reported what kind of food they cooked.
After Huang Liang heard this, he really wanted to kick this soldier who had no eyes and could not speak.
Don’t you know the whole camp didn’t eat?
You damn thing, you came to me and told me what the Japs were eating, and you said it in a decent way. Aren’t you just trying to covet me?
After thinking about it, he sent out the remaining scouts and asked them to closely monitor the Japs' movements and try to detect their unusual movements as early as possible.
The fatigue after the tension came over. Huang Liang felt slightly sleepy. He shook his head and slapped himself twice. Then he stood up and went to find the communications soldier. He wanted to know what was going on with Shang Kanzi and the regiment. How's the long sniper going?
The phone was connected, and a familiar voice came from the other side. It was Deputy Battalion Commander Lu Botao.
Thinking that the familiar comrade was no longer there, Huang Liang couldn't help but feel sad again.
After suppressing his erratic breathing and patiently listening to the battle report, Huang Liang hung up the phone.
Looking up at the starless sky, Huang Liang let out a breath.
Shang Kanzi was not lost, and the regiment leader also successfully blocked the enemy. With less than 100 troops, he was able to hold back more than 300 Japanese who were preparing for a sneak attack.
For now, the entire New Second Regiment position is in hand and is relatively safe.
The rain seemed to have stopped, and Huang Liang received an order from the regiment leader again, asking him to gather 70 or 80 people to Liumenggou east of Zhaozhuang to gather with the guard company commander Du Sanping to prepare to rescue the trapped Zhaozhuang folks.
There was no bargaining, Huang Liang accepted the order directly, and it is the soldier's bounden duty to obey orders.
No matter how difficult it is for you, you must resolutely implement the orders from your superiors. Besides, who wants to have a full battalion?
After making a decision, he immediately turned around to select the soldiers sent to rescue this time.
It was very strenuous to walk in the muddy trench, and I felt that every step required more energy than usual. Even if I was like this, as an attacking Japanese enemy, I would still need to expend more energy to attack from below.
Thinking of this, Huang Liang couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was too naive to give the Japanese another reason to give up the night attack.
After redeploying manpower, there are now only more than 200 people left in the first battalion that can fight. At least half of the soldiers have night blindness, because the soldiers without night blindness have basically been deployed to the rescue team.
Since the Japanese side was relatively stable, Huang Liang specially saw off the more than seventy soldiers and told them to obey Du Sanping's command when they arrived at Zhaozhuang.
The soldiers left and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye. Looking at the leaving soldiers, Huang Liang prayed for them in his heart, hoping that they would be safe and hope that one day they would meet again.
