Chapter 84: Boiling Blood (18)
"Mr. Yang, welcome to you. β
Li Meng saw the dusty Yang Desheng in the Miaoshan residence.
Yang Desheng said: "Division Commander Li, congratulations on your victory, and also congratulate you on the establishment of the Ninth Army ......; As far as we know, there were not many people left after the failure of the unit in Silu to try to rescue the captives, and it was not a lot to have a dozen of them. β
Oh, finally knowing a little bit of news about Liu Yong, Zhang Pengfei and others, Li Meng hurriedly asked, "Can you determine where the captured people are kept?"
Yang Desheng said uncertainly: "As far as we know, the battle took place in the Tailin region, located in the west of Qin'an, where there is a mutant stone mine, and the captives there were captured for the purpose of digging stone mines and building railways. β
Li Meng picked up the newly captured map of mutants and immediately found Tailin and said: "Tailin, this place is located at the foot of Qinshan Mountain, not far from the Dalu Railway, west of the Dalu Railway, surrounded by mutants and renegades, it must be very difficult to save people, if our people are trapped there, it is indeed difficult to rescue, but as long as there are clues, we will definitely find a way." β
Yang Desheng continued: "Senior Commander Li, we still have underground intelligence agents there, if necessary, we can help you provide intelligence, but there are many difficulties there, mutants and renegades are very strictly investigated, and two or three thousand mutants and renegades around Qin'an are indispensable, you must be cautious!"
"No problem, we won't rush until we are completely sure......"
Next, Li Meng and this Yang Desheng discussed the arrangement of jointly fighting mutants and strengthening the contact, although the two of them talked about the problem of radio contact last time, but in the entire Dalu Province, radio stations are a rare thing, and now most areas are controlled by mutants, the use of radio stations is very cautious, and the arrangement of the time and frequency of use are strictly regulated.
Yang Desheng left after staying in Miaoshan for a day, and could contact him through the radio in the future, and agreed on the codebook of contact.
Within a few days, Chen Youcai sent someone to send over a person, and this person was Zhang Mingkai.
"Shizuo, we caught a spy, he said that he was sent by the government, and he came to contact us, and Chen Tuanzuo asked us to send him over. β
In order to let the team form combat effectiveness, Li Meng set up three recruit training grounds in the depths of the mountains, and the people responsible for training the recruits were those veterans of the guard battalion, and these veterans were personally led by Li Meng, car driving, individual soldier quality, basic tactical literacy training, guerrilla training, including literacy classes and ideological education.
Li Meng pulled a large number of recruits to the mountains for training, on the other hand, he didn't want the regiment commanders below to run away to attack the county town and the large army of mutants in a hot head.
Recently, the activities have been too frequent, and a big victory has been achieved, and doing a solid job in the construction of the activity area is what the Ninth Army has to do now, instead of rushing to a decisive battle with mutants, recruiting and training, digging tunnels, collecting weapons and ammunition, doing a good job in mass work, and collecting grain and grass materials is the top priority, it is about to be the Spring Festival, and it is now the month of Layue, Li Meng knows that the next few years may be the most difficult years, not to mention fighting mutants, eating is a big problem.
On December 21, the town of Yuanshan was bombed for the first time by mutant planes, two planes came, and this was the first time that the Ninth Army had received such treatment.
According to Li Meng's regulations, all regiments are not allowed to hold large-scale battles, except for those who have committed the most heinous crimes, they are not allowed to openly arrest and try them, and they only carry out small-scale attacks on large strongholds and county seats, and secretly accumulate strength to develop and grow.
"Mr. Li, what organization do you belong to?"
As soon as Zhang Mingkai came here, he asked straight to the point.
Li Meng looked up and down at the legendary government intelligence agent, who came this time as a special agent of the Nanlu Agency.
"Commissioner Zhang, we were the Ninth Regiment of the Nanlu Rescue Activity Area half a year ago, and then we encountered a little setback, the two regiment commanders and our first battalion suffered some losses, and recently we fought a few battles and killed a lot of mutant talents to expand into the Ninth Army. β
Zhang Mingkai generally understood what the Ninth Army was through his observations along the way, that is, it was a civilian organization that fought mutants, but this force could survive and make a lot of noise, especially it was not easy to attract the attention of Chongqing, and Zhang Mingkai had to be cautious.
As far as Zhang Mingkai knows, telegram propaganda, Before coming, Zhang Mingkai didn't take this Ninth Army in his eyes at all, it was nothing more than a few guns with a transmitter, but when Zhang Mingkai saw the medium infantry cannon in Chen Youcai's first regiment, he realized that this force should not be underestimated, and the mutants only had medium infantry guns in the size of the brigade, which means that this unit has at least fought with the brigade-sized troops of the mutants, and has the upper hand, even if it is a baggage force, his guard force must be hundreds of peopleγ
"Division Commander Li, according to the government's intentions, I hope that you will be placed under the jurisdiction of our Nanlu Administration and insist on carrying out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines. β
Li Meng said with a smile: "Commissioner Zhang, what we are doing now is to insist on carrying out guerrilla warfare behind enemy lines, however, we have encountered a lot of difficulties recently, the most scarce thing is guns and ammunition, and there is naturally no ambiguity ......in fighting mutants."
"Commander Li, I want to report the problem of guns and ammunition to the above, can I use your telegraph?"
There is a drama, but I am afraid that they have been talking empty words.
"Of course, there is no problem, we have a telegraph here that you can use at any time. β
The government hoped that Li Meng's headquarters would be placed under the jurisdiction of the Nanlu Administration, and that all the combatants would be under the command of the 39th Group Army, and that the establishment would be the 117th Division of the 69th Army under the jurisdiction of the 39th Group Army.
What kind of unit is the 39th Army?
The highest commander of this army is Shi San, after the mutant invaded China, the 118th Division was expanded into the 69th Army, the first army commander was Shi San, and later Sun Cheng was the army commander, not long after, the 69th Army was placed under the jurisdiction of the 39th Group Army, Shi San was single-handedly grasped by the military and political affairs, and served as the commander-in-chief of the 39th Group Army.
He is a swingman, he is a mother if he has milk, and almost all the big forces in the country have taken refuge, including the mutants of the Black Moon Country, whose relationship is also very ambiguous, and he once signed a non-aggression pact with the mutants of the Black Moon Country, which is no different from the renegades, and some people say that this is a rumor, in order to drag the mutants.
Li Meng may not have much impression of the 118th Division, the 69th Army and the 39th Group Army, but Shi San's name is too impressive, once he lets this kid take care of it, how can he have a good life?
Either it is cannon fodder, or it is in the same stream, otherwise he will be immediately drawn into the corner, or be used as cannon fodder, even if he can survive, in the end, once it is time to liquidate, only Shi San's subordinates will take his life.
If you don't eat meat, you have to make a fuss, it's not cost-effective.
"Commissioner Zhang, we don't have any problem fighting mutants, but we want an independent number, such as the Nanlu Rescue Detachment, the Nanlu Rescue Independent Division, and the Independent Brigade, but leaving Nanlu is like a bird leaving the forest and a fish leaving the water. β
Zhang Mingkai's face immediately turned ugly: If these people are unable to perform their duties, Li Meng should not be the commander of the 117th Division, what is the difference between this and some local forces? Now the whole country will jointly save the country, and they will all be assigned to the leadership of the government.
"Division Commander Li, now that the national salvation forces are under the leadership of the government, it is not appropriate for you to have the name of an independent brigade alone, as for the homeland, now the entire Dalu Province has been occupied by mutants, and only by working together to drive away mutants can they have a homeland, and it is too luxurious for you to survive under the bayonets of mutants and talk about your homeland......"
Li Meng is also a person who can speak well, this Zhang Mingkai said in front of Li Meng that the head is the Tao seems to have some truth, but Li Meng underestimates him too much, no wonder there are so many people who play various roles and are still willing, there are talents in any role.
Li Meng thought for a while and said: "Commissioner Zhang, we can take a step back in terms of numbers, but I am afraid that we will not be able to leave this place in Nanlu in a short time, and it is okay to fight mutants, you have also seen that our soldiers have just put down their hoes and picked up their guns, most of them have not undergone formal training, and there are only one or two hundred real veterans, and it may be difficult to immediately assign them to the command of Commander Shi." β
