Chapter 496: The Imperial Army Destroys the Japanese Army
When Translator Xia saw that the comrades of the Eighth Route Army had spoken, he thought, what else did he have to worry about?
He immediately called Captain Zhang and Ma Laosan and organized their confidants.
They were holding the automatic weapons that had just been seized from Captain Huang and carrying two bamboo ladders, and were ready at both ends of the trench.
Then he waved his hand and asked the remaining Imperial Army to take out the grenades from their waists.
He grabbed the string and said, "Everyone remember, after pulling the string of the grenade, count three times and then throw it down.
Pull the string, one, two, three, throw!"
About a hundred smoking grenades were thrown into the trench three seconds after the strings were pulled.
"boom……"
"Pull the string, one, two, three, throw it down."
"boom……"
After they threw two grenades, the sound of the Japanese in the trench gradually disappeared.
Then, Translator Xia waved his hand and two bamboo ladders were sent into the trench.
The dozens of Imperial Army soldiers waiting at the edge of the trench began to act.
They were holding automatic weapons, and the kind-hearted cavalry soldiers silently handed them explosion-proof steel shields.
Under the leadership of Captain Zhang and Ma Laosan, they slid down one by one using the bamboo ladder.
As the sound of gunfire continued from below, there were also sounds of grenade explosions and screams.
Soon, Captain Zhang of the Imperial Army appeared at the edge of the trench, carrying a soldier covered in blood.
"Old Xia, come over here and help, one of our brothers is injured.
These little Japanese devils were so cruel that they actually detonated their own grenades.
Fortunately, we had the shield of the Eighth Route Army, otherwise our losses would have been great."
Then a dozen more unlucky guys came up. They were also injured, but not as seriously as the first one.
The medical soldier from the cavalry regiment who was following here came over to check on the seriously injured man.
After about ten seconds, he sighed, raised his head, said "The aorta is broken", and went to treat other wounded people.
Captain Zhang: "Old Xia, can you get this brother an Eighth Route Army uniform?
After all, he died while fighting the Japanese. "
A battalion commander walked over, silently took off his military uniform, and covered the dead soldier with it.
"The brothers who sacrificed their lives fighting the Japanese are martyrs.
Please give this military uniform to this brother."
Sun Desheng ordered across the trench: "Captain Zhang, you take your brothers and clear out all the useful things from the Japanese.
Captain of the First Battalion, go and lead all the Imperial Army troops who just surrendered out through the South Gate.
Let them throw all the bodies of the Japanese into the trenches and bury them."
The commander of the first battalion said: "Commander Sun, we don't have any good tools, how can we dig the soil?"
Captain Zhang said, "Yes, yes, we have everything. There are plenty of shovels and pickaxes. They are all piled up in the Japanese warehouse. I will ask the brothers to get them."
After a while, the Imperial Army who were waiting for processing outside the West Gate came out from the South Gate, carrying shovels and pickaxes.
By the time it was almost time for dinner, the bodies of the Japanese devils and diehard traitors had all been buried.
The remaining thing is to let the comrades of the district committee in the area of Huting stronghold mobilize the nearby masses.
They were asked to tear the roads in this area into sections overnight.
They filled the trench with the excavated earth.
The ground around the Huting stronghold became truly flat.
It will no longer affect the Eighth Route Army’s cavalry units entering and leaving Liulang Mountain.
In the afternoon, the brigade commander brought Li Yunlong and Wu Changfeng to welcome the arrival of the spoils.
Those who went out to collect the seized supplies this time were all from the Second Fast Reaction Brigade.
Li Yunlong wanted to take on this tiring job, but was stopped by the brigade chief.
"Li Yunlong, get back here, Li Zi, don't think I don't know what you want to do.
If you were asked to collect those weapons and ammunition, you must have embezzled at least half of them. "
Li Yunlong: "Commander, from what you said, since I have the help of Political Commissar Zhao, I, Li Yunlong, have a higher level of awareness.
Can I violate organizational discipline for these few things?
This is impossible. If you don’t believe me, go ask Political Commissar Zhao.”
When Zhao Gang saw so many people were present, he felt it was not appropriate to offend Li Yunlong.
"Our comrade Li Yunlong has indeed improved his awareness recently..."
Before Zhao Gang could finish his words of praise, he was interrupted by the head of the brigade.
"Zhao Gang, don't make any promises for him. I tell you, this guy is a bad guy.
If you say today that he has improved, he can blame you for any mistakes he makes next time."
Li Yunlong's past was exposed by the brigade chief, but he didn't feel ashamed or angry.
He just smiled and begged the brigade commander to let him go to the Huting stronghold.
Unfortunately, in the end, the brigade commander still asked Wu Changfeng to send people to get the supplies.
Wu Changfeng had the support of the Gannan Guerrilla Division, so he had both guns and cannons and men.
From time to time, we can get new weapons and help Gannan collect data on the use of those new weapons.
Therefore, Wu Changfeng didn't really care about the Japanese army's mountain artillery and field artillery. When Hu Ting's military equipment was pulled back, Li Yunlong was about to cry.
Five Type 41 mountain guns, three Type 75 field guns, and ten Type 92 infantry guns.
There were more than thirty mortars, small cannons, and grenade launchers in total, and more than two thousand artillery shells were pulled back.
There were more than 2,000 Type 38 rifles, of which more than 800 were captured from Sato's battalion.
The remaining rifles are the equipment of an infantry reinforced battalion.
There are about a hundred light and heavy machine guns, and a huge amount of grenades and bullets.
These equipments are prepared for the Japanese troops who are preparing for the autumn mop-up.
Now of course they are all cheap...our brigade chief.
The brigade chief put his arm around Li Yunlong's shoulders and told him proudly.
"Li Yunlong, come and take a look at these equipments, they are mine.
Li Yunlong, why are you crying? Are you happy for me?
You don’t have to be happy for me, as the saying goes, God rewards hard work, you still have a lot to learn, haha…”
Li Yunlong: I'm not happy for you at all. You're addicted to stealing my lines.
Alas, it is true that a higher-ranking official can crush someone to death.
If only this was seized by Wu Changfeng, I could at least take half of it!
So many good things fell into the hands of the brigade commander.
Li Yunlong should not even think about taking anything away, it would be good enough if he didn't have to pay the brigade commander.
In fact, this time it was the brigade chief who had long-term plans.
Even among the troops under his command, there are many brigade and regiment-level cadres who are comparable to Li Yunlong.
However, due to the influence and restrictions of the overall environment, the development of other troops has not been very good.
The equipment he had today was enough for him to form four or five new groups.
The expansion of the regiment has to be put on hold because the temporary capital is keeping a close eye on it.
This is also because the Shaanxi-Northern side did not want to give the Temporary Capital's attendant room an excuse.
Otherwise, it would not be Li Yunlong's turn to step forward.
The places for the two rapid response brigades had already been taken by Captain Cheng and his team.
As for the two regiments of Kong Jie and Ding Wei, he doesn't have to worry too much.
Kong Jie is seeking development in stability, not to mention Ding Wei.
Why did he come to northwest Shanxi?
It was because he recruited troops too quickly (probably because his equipment was good, his pay was high, and he ended up recruiting people from brother units).
