"Political Commissar, Political Commissar Zhao."
Zhao Gang put away the work report and was about to eat when he heard Li Yunlong's loud voice outside the door.
"Guild Leader, is there something you need from me?"
Opening the door to let Li Yunlong in, Zhao Gang was a little confused and vigilant.
He had seen through it yesterday. Commander Li's words were full of sarcasm, and he only meant one thing: you're a hindrance, get lost.
You want to chase me away? Impossible!
"Even though you are in charge of life and I am in charge of military affairs, and we don't interfere with each other, I still have to inform you about major military operations in the regiment and ask for your opinion.”Li Yunlong said with a smile.
"Oh? Is there any military operation in the regiment?" Zhao Gang's brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze became puzzled.
This was different from the information he received from the brigade headquarters.
According to the brigade headquarters, this guy was always on guard against the political commissar, and he never discussed military operations with others.
There was a conspiracy! Zhao Gang's heart skipped a beat!
" I just joined the Independent Regiment not long ago. As you know, the Independent Regiment was ambushed by a group of elite Japanese troops. The entire regiment suffered heavy losses. The entire structure of the Second Battalion was almost destroyed. Including the non-combat casualties, there were only about a hundred people in the entire battalion who could return to the army."
" That's right." Li Yunlong sat on the chair casually, not realizing that this was Zhao Gang's room at all." Therefore, the biggest problem facing the entire team now is morale. Although I stimulated them with my guidance and new weapons the day before yesterday, the effect was limited.”
Hearing this, Zhao Gang's vigilance was slightly lowered and he began to listen carefully to Li Yunlong's content.
Li Yunlong continued," I plan to organize a field drill to gather the second battalion that suffered the most losses. Then, I will transfer the elite officers and veterans from the other two battalions to follow the route that the Japanese had taken.”
"I realized that many of the warriors in the guild don't dare to talk about the previous battle.”
"Therefore, during the field training, we will organize repeated replays of the battle to find out the problems.”
"The root of the morale problem in the group is the fear of these Japanese. Therefore, only by completely understanding these Japanese and completely understanding what we did wrong in the previous battle can we fundamentally solve the morale problem and avoid falling in the same place next time."
"Good idea. No problem. I agree with it with both hands.”Hearing this, Zhao Gang almost couldn't help but praise.
"Then, who will lead the team for this mission?" Zhao Gang asked warily.
It is said that Commander Li likes to go against the rules and often leads the assault team to fight. This is absolutely not allowed. I will never allow such a thing to happen.
"The current second battalion commander, Zhang Dabiao, will lead the team.”Li Yunlong said with a smile.
Heh, this little scholar is quite vigilant. It seems that the brigade commander said something to this scholar.
The two of them gathered together. Li Yunlong explained the detailed deployment and the message sent back by the signalman every one or two days. Zhao Gang agreed with all of them.
After Li Yun Long left, Zhao Gang stood in the room and pondered for a long time.
There was something wrong, but it didn't seem to be a problem.
It was just a training session, and there were regular reports from the signalman. He should have been worried too much. Li Yunlong was not as difficult to get along with as he had imagined!
Five hundred meters to the left of Yang Village, there was an open space.
The area was a little remote. There was a raised shrub forest between Heyang Village and the mountain. In addition, it was February and the mountains were sealed by heavy snow in Northeast Jin, so few people set foot there.
There was no moon tonight, and the sky was dark and gloomy. In the evening, the surroundings were even more silent. The bone-chilling chill made the insects and birds unable to chirp.
At this moment, the 2nd Battalion of the Independent Regiment, as well as the elite veterans from the 1st and 3rd Battalions, plus 10 signalmen, a total of 160 people were lined up neatly on the open space. At the front of the line, 10 soldiers were holding torches to illuminate the open space.
Zhang Dabiao stood in the front row of the team and glanced at the neatly lined up people. He said in a low voice,
"16 people per squad, four groups per squad. Each group has a horse and mules. Put all the equipment and supplies on the horses and move forward lightly.”
The light of the torch was not bright, but under the reflection of the snow on the ground, he could see everyone's appearance clearly.
The 160-man commando team was all wearing brand new gray cotton clothes and trousers. They also wore a northeast style winter hat and warm boots that were modified from the captured Japanese leather boots.
The team was arranged in ten rows, with sixteen people in each row and four people in a group.
Beside each group was a large and sturdy horse. The wide saddle was filled with ammunition boxes, weapons, cotton bags, and four small quilts. A large waterproof canvas covered the entire horse.
The cotton bag was filled with white flatbread, which had been fried with scallion oil in advance. It could be eaten directly, but it didn't taste good and was a little chomping. It could also be boiled into a paste.
"Our target is Wild Dog Mountain, south of Meng County. It's 150 miles away from here. It's 7 PM now, and we have to reach our destination by 10 AM tomorrow.”
As soon as Zhang Dabiao finished speaking, there was a commotion in the team.
How was it possible to travel 150 miles in a night on such a snowy day?
Wouldn't this kill him?
The faces of the recruits who had joined the army for less than a year changed drastically. Even the backbone veterans who had been in the army for more than two years had solemn expressions.
On the other hand, the few elite veterans who had been in the army for more than four or five years did not have much change in their expressions. These people only touched the warm cotton clothes on their bodies and looked at the thick waterproof and warm shoes on their feet. They were actually eager to try.
"Silence!"
Zhang Dabiao raised his eyebrows and said in a fierce tone.
The open space instantly fell silent, and everyone's breathing was very low.
As expected of Commander Li's trusted general, Zhang Dabiao had only been here for a few days, but he had already established his dignity.
" You don't even need to bring a single bullet with you. All of you, move forward lightly. All your equipment, supplies, and food are on the horses. You don't have to take care of these mules and horses. They're faster than you."
"Your new cotton military uniforms are also warm, so you don't have to worry about frostbite. The boots on your feet are specially made, so they're very warm. Your feet won't get wet even if you step on the snow. Your hats are all military hats from the Northeast, specially customized by the regiment commander."
"The snow on the mountain is not thick, and the route we took this time is a pack horse road. It's very flat."
"Now, is there anyone who still thinks that traveling 150 li in one night is impossible?”
Although Zhang Dabiao's tone was fierce, it also made many of the commando team members relax a lot.
