The independent regiment was stationed in Yang Village. Evening.
"Political commissar, the shells, weapons, and ammunition have been loaded.”Zhang Liang, the regiment commander of the independent regiment, ran over to report to Zhao Gang.
"Alright, get ready. Bring some food and get ready to set off.”Zhao Gang nodded." We're going to the headquarters 'arsenal this time, and we have to hurry back. Tell our comrades to speed up. We have to travel through the night.”
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Liang saluted and ran towards the convoy that was loaded with supplies.
"Political commissar, this is the list."
After a while, a soldier ran out of the regimental headquarters with a stack of documents in his hand." This batch of supplies has a total of 20,000 shells, 2,000 mortar shells, and 2,000 melon grenades.”
The warrior took out a piece of paper from an old folder and handed it to Zhao Gang.
"Alright."
Zhao Gang took the paper, folded it, and stuffed it into his chest pocket. Then, he followed the carriage team that had arrived at the entrance of Yang Village.
Before leaving Yang Village, he turned back to look at the village and narrowed his eyes.
Li Yunlong asked him to lead the transportation team to transport the trained bullet shells to the arsenal in the headquarters for reloading. There was also some weapons and ammunition. The reason was that the officers were too busy with the recent training in the regiment and could not leave.
This reason was reasonable. He had seen the tremendous progress of the soldiers recently, so he could not refuse.
However! It had been nine days, but the assault team had not returned. There was definitely something wrong with this Li Yun Long. No one knew what he was planning.
"Let's go!"
Zhao Gang turned around expressionlessly and followed the transport team." Speed up and try to get back the day after tomorrow.”
You want to leave me? I'll be able to reach the headquarters tomorrow and borrow a horse to return to the Independent Regiment at noon. I'd like to see what you're up to.
Under the eaves of a house in Yang Village, Li Yun Long and Kong Jie were watching Zhao Gang leave. " Tsk tsk tsk." Kong Jie spat out a mouthful of smoke and said," How did you get him to set off now? Didn't they say that this little scholar had discovered a problem? He's actually willing to leave?"
"Hehehe."
Li Yun Long chuckled,
"I told this little scholar to set off the day after tomorrow, but he naturally refused. He wanted to set off tonight, so he was busy the entire afternoon.”
"Little Scholar, fight me."
"Lust?" Kong Jie raised his eyebrows." Not bad, Old Li. You even know how to fight with wits!”
"Hahaha."
Li Yunlong laughed and then changed the topic. He said in a serious tone," You go and organize the troops. We will set off tonight. According to the plan, Dabiao and the others should be reaching Yangquan soon."”
"Good!"
Night fell, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky.
The wind blowing from the south didn't have much coldness. It was a rare warm night in the northeast of Jin in February.
"This damn weather is really strange!”
Wang Gensheng avoided the small stream that appeared after the snow melted and cursed.
Winter was supposed to be an honest world of ice and snow. A few days ago, it was negative ten degrees Celsius day and night, and it would freeze even if one breathed. Why was it warm now?
After patrolling the area, he was so hot that he wanted to take off his coat.
Wang Gensheng walked in front of Zhang Dabiao and said," I cut a few branches on the mountain and tied them up with rattan to make a few stretchers. Then, I tied them to the backs of the big mules and laid out the marching quilts. Then, I let the seriously ill soldiers lie on them."
" Alright." Zhang Dabiao nodded." What about those brothers who are physically weak?"”
"After resting for so long, five of them have almost recovered. The rest are still alright. They shouldn't fall behind with the mule. However, although these kids are holding on, they definitely won't be able to march long distances. I've already prepared a few stretchers just in case.”Wang Gensheng replied with a smile.
Those who could enter the Assault Company were all strong-willed soldiers. If they could walk on their own, they would definitely not trouble others. However, no matter how strong their willpower was, they could not break through the limits of their physical strength. If their bodies collapsed, they would really collapse.
"Next, we'll have to see the news from Li Yong.”Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, Zhang Dabiao muttered to himself.
"What if we can't cross the river? No one can guarantee that this method of yours is true. Moreover, it's winter now, and the amount of snow melting may not be as much as the summer flash flood.”
Wang Gensheng sounded worried.
"There are Japanese search teams everywhere now. The nearest one is only a few kilometers away from us.”
"It's not just a map. I've seen this before. When the snow melts, there will be a mountain torrent. We can take a boat. The old boatman can even take a raft. In this weather, the mountain torrent will definitely get bigger tomorrow.”
Zhang Dabiao said calmly,
"There is a Jing River in the south of here. Many villagers rely on water for their livelihood. As long as there is a waterway, you can find boatmen and boats. Don't underestimate these villagers who drink water.”
"If it doesn't work, then we'll throw away some of the supplies and take the small road in the mountains. We'll break through the Japanese encirclement from east to west, then rely on speed to get rid of the Japanese's pursuit and take a detour to the northeast of Shanxi to return to Yang Village.”
"However, this detour is half of Shanxi.”
Unless it was absolutely necessary, Zhang Dabiao didn't want to change his route.
Not to mention the regiment commander's reinforcements. Taking a detour from Shanxi to Yang Village was nearly a thousand miles. It would take at least ten days to travel. Moreover, he did not have a map of the northeast region of Shanxi. It was easy to get lost. If he encountered the Japanese or other troops, such as the Jinsui Army, it would not be a good thing.
As for bringing more than a hundred people and carrying a large pile of medicine to break through the Japanese encirclement, Zhang Dabiao had never thought about it. Even if the supplies were carried by mules and horses, the mobility of the troops was guaranteed, and their firepower was unprecedentedly strong, with more than a hundred people, they were looking down on the Japanese.
