Chapter 66: The Hard Struggle (11)
Before Chen Youcai left, Li Meng deliberately made a few good cigarettes and wrapped them separately.
"This is for the two regiment commanders alone, quietly, not in a hurry to come back, to see if there are many nurses or doctors in the regiment, those literate students can also be, we can take grenades and exchange with the regiment headquarters. β
More than 200 wooden-handled grenades were confiscated, but the power was too small, the soldiers' bodies were generally worse than the physical fitness of mutants, and throwing grenades could not compare to those mutants, Li Meng counted the weapons hidden that time, most of them were high grenades and bullets, good guys, five or six hundred grenades, more than 3,000 bullets, and six rifles of mutants.
"Yes, Company Commander. β
Chen Youcai doesn't talk much but is a tiger general, as for the command ability, he will have experience in a few more battles, Li Meng will continue to train and recruit troops, hold meetings at night, sum up combat experience, and let the soldiers know why they want to fight mutants and how to fight; winter is coming soon, it is cold in the mountains, cotton clothes and quilts must be prepared, although there are a lot of materials, it is difficult to survive this winter, although the surrounding mountains of two or three hundred miles are not small, there is no problem in dealing with one or two thousand mutants, but if there are twenty or thirty thousand mutants, they will definitely not be able to hide, and the Dawang Mountain station must find a spare stationγ
Chen Youcai came back three days later, and brought back two student soldiers and a middle-aged man.
"Company Commander Li, let me introduce you, this is Wang Zewang's guide, and I came to visit you this time. β
"Hello Director Wang, I have heard of your name for a long time, and I am fortunate to meet you. β
Li Meng had heard that the Ninth Regiment was founded by Liu Yong, Zhang Pengfei and this Wang Ze, and that Director Wang had been gone for two months, so he should have been in contact with his superiors.
"Company Commander Li, Company Commander Liu, do a good job, as soon as I came back, I heard that earth-shaking changes have taken place in our activity area, the two regiment commanders are very satisfied with your work, and I hope you will continue to work hard and carry forward this spirit of tenacious struggle. β
Director Wang praised Li Meng and Liu Ermao, was very satisfied with the Dawangshan station, and returned to Hongmiao Village two days later, which was temporarily the headquarters of the Ninth Regiment.
Liu Ermao asked curiously: "Company Commander Li, what kind of officer is the guide?"
"The regiment commander is the number one leader in fighting wars, and guidance is the number one in thinking and life. β
"So that's the case, so do we even need to get a guide?"
"I guess there is. β
Li Meng didn't know anything about this Wang Ze's guidance, even if he sent an instructor, someone had to send him, and the above things were not something Li Meng should consider for the time being.
Although Li Meng was busy fighting mutants during this time, his soul cultivation did not stop, and when he came to a new world, Li Meng seemed to have found another self, and his cultivation of soul art seemed to be much faster.
The blood value was collected by the old man of the pot, and the soul technique, the heavenly eye technique, and the aura spell were his own skills, although the aura in this world was very poor, it did not prevent Li Meng from figuring out these unusual things.
"Company commander, some strangers have come to the nearby village in the last few days, I don't know what they are doing, they seem to be looking for something. β
Qiao Shan's reconnaissance platoon found an anomaly, although the recruitment work has not made much progress recently, but there are always one or two strong young men who are willing to participate in the team to fight mutants every day, and the mutants must not be allowed to sneak attack at this critical moment.
"In which villages have they been active lately?"
"Buwa Village, Xiayu Village, these places. β
Li Meng looked at the simple map and couldn't help but be vigilant, these villages were the villages they passed through when they retreated from the four rivers, could it be that the mutants found some clues and came to look for them.
"Platoon Commander Qiao, pay attention to the vigilance in this direction and inform Company Commander Liu and Company Commander Chen to have a meeting. β
β¦β¦
The result of the discussion was that Liu Ermao and Chen Youcai did not agree on the same opinion, Li Meng felt that this matter still needed to be taken seriously, the recent development has been too smooth, the number of people in the two companies has reached more than 160 people, and the salvation force is increasing every day.
"I decided to move our station to the north, the two mountains of Black Mountain and Jiuzhai Mountain are next to each other, and there is a lake under the mountain, where there are more supplies, what do you think?"
Liu Ermao groaned and said: "That place is next to Xinqin and Qin'an, will it be too close to the enemy?" Under the mountain is the Great Plains, once we encounter an enemy sneak attack, the reaction time for us is too short, I heard that there is also a mutant sentry tower there." β
Li Meng picked up a pencil and drew a circle of this mutant sentry tower and said: "My idea is to kill this mutant sentry tower, as long as we kill this mutant sentry tower, the mutant's attention will turn there, and then we will return to the area of Dawang Mountain, but we have stayed here in Dawang Mountain for too long, we need to move the place, the stone mountain behind us is more hidden, and our final foothold is here, this matter is limited to the three of us for the time being." β
"I'm okay with that. β
"I don't have a problem either. β
Early the next morning, in addition to burying two bags of spare grain in Dawang Mountain, the second and third companies of the second battalion of the ninth regiment in the Nanlu Rescue Activity Area collectively set out, targeting Montenegro and Jiuzhai Mountain, where the reconnaissance platoon had already reconnoitred before, and the road was extremely smooth.
That night, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon purchased a batch of fresh lake fish from the bottom of the mountain, and the whole company had a full meal, which was beautiful, and the corners of each soldier's mouth were oily, and Liu Ermao couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Li Meng's flickering kung fu.
However, the next day, when Li Mengzheng was discussing with several company commanders and platoon commanders to attack the mutant sentry tower in Dongdu Town, a shocking news made the team break out in a cold sweat.
An investigator reported: "Company commander, as soon as we left, nearly five or six hundred mutants and renegades occupied Dawang Mountain, and I heard that a large number of mutants appeared near Yuanshan Town. β
"How's Hongmiao Village?"
"I don't know, it's too close to Yuanshan Town, I came to report it immediately when I got the news. β
"Okay, you go down and rest first. β
It's dangerous, the mutants dispatched at least a thousand people to act at the same time, and it also shows that the mutants know Dawang Mountain very well, what went wrong?
"Company Commander Chen, you bring the machine gun platoon closer to the regimental headquarters, and try to help the regimental headquarters in case the regimental headquarters is surrounded. β
"Yes, Company Commander Li, I'll go now. β
"Bring some more ammunition and canned food, and when you come back, go straight to Rock Mountain, where we will meet. β
"Good. β
After Chen Youcai agreed, he immediately set off with a machine gun platoon, the machine gun platoon had a light machine gun, the others were mutant rifles and grenades, and the other light machine gun was in the hands of the direct platoon, it was still too poor, and the machine gun platoon must have at least three to five machine guns to meet Li Meng's ideal state, and at least one heavy machine gun.
"Company Commander Liu, let's discuss the attack on the mutant sentry tower in Dongdu Town. β
Liu Ermao's face changed drastically, and he said: "Company Commander Li, the situation is unclear now, is it appropriate to attack the mutant sentry tower? We still have one less platoon. β
"There are not many mutants in Dalu Province, since they have concentrated their forces on encirclement and suppression, there will definitely be fewer mutants in other directions, we have artillery now, it would be a waste not to hit them. β
"But we don't know how to use cannons, it's a waste to be inaccurate. β
"It's okay to fight, mutants are born to fight/cannon?"
