Chapter 36: The Feeding Crisis

"So be it! Tell the brothers, all the devil rifles and bullets that you have picked up with all your might, and everything you can move! There are also grenadiers and mortars of the devils, all of them were taken, and as for the few Type 92 infantry guns of the little devils, there is no way! The devils nearby should know about the battle here, if the devils outflank it, with the current situation of our new regiment, it will be impossible to have another big battle with the Japanese army! ”

Zhang Dabiao suddenly nodded and said, "Yes, head of the regiment, I understand!" ’。

Soon, under Li Yunlong's order, the new regiment quickly cleaned up the battlefield and then withdrew into Heng Mountain.

When it was time to withdraw into Hengshan, some counting, plus some of the wounded of Duan Peng who had withdrawn to the mountains when Li Yunlong commanded the troops to resist the Japanese attack of Abe Jiro in Xiaolizhuang, at this time, there were only more than 1,100 fighters left in the new regiment who could still have combat capability, and there were more than 300 seriously wounded and lightly wounded soldiers.

At this time, Li Yunlong and Zhang Dabiao led the troops to withdraw to the depths of Heng Mountain, Heng Mountain is steep and steep, the terrain is dangerous, and there are many peaks.

Li Yunlong led his troops into the depths of Heng Mountain, which was already five kilometers away from Xiaoli Zhuang, surrounded by many mountains, and the terrain was dangerous.

"Damn, yes, this place is good! The terrain of this mountain is treacherous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is only one winding mountain road leading to the mountain, which is less than two meters wide. There are cliffs on the left, and strange rocks on the right side of the mountain road, which is very good for us to take a temporary break! Da Biao, is there a water source on the mountain? What is this mountain called? Li Yunlong looked at the mountain in front of him in amazement, and couldn't help but say in admiration.

Zhang Dabiao took a step forward and said: "Commander, this mountain is called Hutou Mountain, the altitude is more than 1,000 meters, the terrain is steep, there is only one way into the mountain, we walked at least five kilometers to reach here." And it's very difficult to walk along the way, so this place is very suitable for our new group to rest! Even if the little devil dares to enter the mountain, hehe, our old methods are enough to kill the little devil, and if we fight guerrilla warfare, we can also drag the little devil to death! There's a spring on the mountain, and there's nothing wrong with the water source, Chief! Merely! ”。

"But what? Swallow and spit out! Go ahead! Lao Tzu has a way to solve the problem! Li Yunlong waved his hand, shrugged his shoulders and said very easily.

Zhang Dabiao suddenly said with a wry smile: "Regiment leader, now that we are retreating here, it stands to reason that it is good!" But we don't have much food and grass now, the troops are surrounded by devils in a hurry, and we broke through from the front of Cangyunling, and the brothers have been fighting fiercely for a night, at this time, the brothers' physical strength is a little exhausted! I just took stock and we only have two days of food! ”。

"What? I'm Cao! It's really a big trouble now! ”

Now the new regiment has taken out a total of two wings of Japanese troops from Jiro Abe's sixteenth wing and the Sakata wing, and the captured weapons and equipment are enough to prepare two new regiments! But Lao Tzu doesn't have much food in his hands, and the new group of soldiers of more than 1,400 people who withdrew to Hutou Mountain consumed a huge amount of food! If people have no food to eat and are trapped in the mountains, they can only wait for death!

Thinking of these critical situations, Li Yunlong suddenly thought about it and said, "Damn, let's evacuate the brothers to the mountains to rest first!" There are several elite Japanese troops near the devils in the vicinity of Heng Mountain, and we are no longer able to have a fierce battle with the devils outside the mountain at this time! So you can only hide in the Heng Mountain. However, the food situation you mentioned is a big problem! ”。

"Well, put the brothers in place first! Let's talk about it for a day! Let's just think of a way to engage in food! Li Yunlong waved his hand and said to Zhang Dabiao, he has just arrived at Hutou Mountain, let's rest and resettle the troops first.

Zhang Dabiao also knew the current situation, so he nodded and said, "Yes, regiment leader, I understand!" ”。

Then, Li Yunlong waved his hand, and the new group of people went up to Hutou Mountain one after another.

After the troops were reorganized, Li Yunlong summoned Zhang Dabiao and Duan Peng, the leader of the reconnaissance team, to hold a combat meeting in a temporarily built thatched house on Hutou Mountain.

"Da Biao, Duan Peng, you are natives of Jin Province, you see, we are now in Hutou Mountain in the depths of Heng Mountain. The terrain of this Hutou Mountain is dangerous, and it is five kilometers away from Xiaolizhuang in the west of Hengshan, and this is still a straight line distance. In fact, to walk from Xiaolizhuang to Hutou Mountain, you need to walk at least seven kilometers or so! And the road is difficult to walk along the way, and we have also deployed open and dark sentry posts, even if the devil sees the corpse of the Japanese army killed in the battle in Xiaolizhuang, it is very difficult to enter the mountain to encircle and suppress us! Therefore, we do not have to worry about the threat of the Japanese army for the time being, at least for three or four days. Now let's talk about the supply of the troops! Li Yunlong spoke first, and his expression was also very solemn.

Zhang Dabiao and Duan Peng looked at each other, and then Zhang Dabiao said first: "Regiment commander, if the current situation is followed, it is too late for us to ask the brigade headquarters to send someone to support!" So, we can only get food nearby? ”。

"Not bad!" Li Yunlong gave Zhang Dabiao a teachable expression, nodded and said with a smile: "Our current grain, if it is according to the wartime system, can still last for three days!" It can't be that the brothers eat less! However, the troops also faced a possible attack by the Japanese army, so the supply of the brothers could not be cut off. So Lao Tzu decided to find a county town where devils are stationed and get some food! Look at it, where is the right place to make food? ”。

Duan Peng on the side was Li Yunlong's bodyguard and the reconnaissance captain of the new regiment, so this kid hurriedly said: "Regiment leader, according to some of the situations near Hengshan that our reconnaissance team detected before, after the devils captured Taiyuan, they also needed a lot of food to support the little devils' operations. Therefore, the devils have built supply transit battles in some key counties in the surrounding areas of Taiyuan and Datongdi! Like here! ”。

Duan Peng pointed to a place on the map of Jin Province that Li Yunlong had already spread out, his eyes were excited.

"Lingqiu?" Li Yunlong pondered and said!

"Yes, Commander. Lingqiu is a supply transit station for little devils to transport grain to Taiyuan! The food stored here is more than enough for us to eat a new lump for a year! Duan Peng rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
