As soon as the lieutenant and the deputy captain returned to the headquarters with Nakasa, they saw a second lieutenant rushing out in a panic and almost colliding together.

"Sir, something is wrong!" Nakasa, who was in a bad mood, was just about to scold, but the second lieutenant with a panicked face actually reported first.

"Your Excellency the Commander committed suicide by seppuku in his office!"

"What?" Nakasa was shocked.

Push the second lieutenant away and rush into the headquarters.

The door of the office was open, and Noda sat on his knees, facing east, with a command knife for seppuku stuck in his stomach, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth with a smile, motionless to be examined by a military doctor.

"Sir, Your Excellency the Commander has shattered the jade!" The medic walked out and reported with his head bowed.

Nakasa slowly reacted from the shock, and also understood why Noda Shaoza's reaction at the celebration just now was so big, it turned out that he had already made this decision at that time, but he just didn't say it.

After waving his hand to signal the military doctor to leave, he sighed with emotion: "Seppuku suicide and retaining the honor of a soldier is not a good destination for Noda-kun!" ”

Then he ordered to the lieutenant and deputy captain, "You are responsible for collecting the corpse of Noda-kun...... I'm going to contact Your Excellency General right away and report back on the situation here! ”

"Now that there is no commander in Lingqiu County, and the battle has just been lost, we must immediately send a competent commander over to regroup, kill the Eighth Route Army that Noda-kun did not kill as soon as possible, and avenge the warriors who died in battle!"

When Deputy Chief of Staff Nakasa returned to the war room, his face was no longer solemn as before, but there was still a faint smile.

The lieutenant and deputy captain hurriedly rushed up and reported, "Sir, Noda-kun's body has been collected!" ”

"I don't know what the superiors plan to do with us!"

"I will now announce an order from His Excellency the General!" Nakasa nodded and said with a serious face.

More than a dozen officers in the war room immediately stood upright, staring at Nakasa.

"The general has decided that I will temporarily take the position of commander of the Lingqiu garrison and lead the anti-Japanese forces in Lingqiu as soon as possible!"

The lieutenant and vice-captain immediately understood why there was a smile on Nakasa's face just now.

A deputy chief of staff who does not have much real power is no better than a commander who holds real power and can act arbitrarily.

More importantly, it is easy to make achievements in the position of commander, and you can be promoted to the captain of the Great Zuo Wing by taking advantage of the situation.

In the position of deputy chief of staff of Zhongzuo, the rank is very high on the surface, but it is difficult to produce results, and he will not be promoted.

Thinking of this, the captain hurriedly complimented: "Congratulations, sir, from now on, you are the supreme commander of Lingqiu County, and you will obey your orders and cooperate with the commander to eliminate the anti-Japanese forces in Lingqiu as soon as possible!" ”

"Hello sir!" More than a dozen large and small officers in the war room shouted at the same time.

Nakasa Ida is very satisfied with everyone's performance.

When I was at the brigade headquarters, I had never been so respectfully called a commander by my subordinates.

The smile on his face became even stronger, and he decisively ordered: "Everyone continue to do their own things~ Vice Captain, after lunch, you come to my office!" ”

"I want to know the specific situation of Lingqiu, organize the troops as soon as possible, and kill the Eighth Route Army that captured our stronghold in Hongquan Village! It is not only an explanation to the warriors of the Imperial Army who died in battle, but also an explanation to the superiors! ”

In the stronghold of the Japanese puppet army in Hongquan Village, as soon as Li Hao came back with his troops, Zhao Wen, the leader of the third platoon who stayed at the stronghold, came over with an excited face.

"Captain, get rich, we guerrillas get rich!"

"Surely you didn't think of what I found in the stronghold's material warehouse? There were guns, ammunition, food, medicine, and shells, and almost everything we guerrillas lacked could be found here, which was amazing! ”

Seeing that several platoon commanders behind him were all staring at Zhao Wen with bright eyes, Li Hao also asked with anticipation.

"Be specific!"

"Yes, Captain!" Zhao Wen replied immediately.

"The devil is not equipped with many weapons, only twenty three-eight big covers and a crooked handle!"

"But the puppet army is equipped with many weapons, all of which were captured by the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army on the frontal battlefield, and there are 100 79 caliber rifles alone, and there are two made by the Czech Republic, and ten boxes are running!"

"I asked Zhou Yunian, Commander Zhou, these weapons were all transported by the devil the day before yesterday to prepare for the expansion of the pseudo-military, and now they are all cheap for us!"

"There is more ammunition, and the entire stronghold has more than 500 days of combat supplies for the puppet army for three months, all in it."

"There are 2,000 rounds of 65 caliber bullets in one box, a full 50 boxes of 100,000 rounds, and 79 bullets are a little less, but there are 20 boxes of 40,000 rounds. 15,000 rounds of ammunition for 10 boxes of heavy machine guns, 4,000 rounds for 2 boxes of bullets for box guns, 500 rounds for 10 boxes of grenades, 800 rounds for 40 boxes of grenades, 200 rounds for grenades for grenades, and 300 rounds for 300 shells for mortar shells of 81 mm caliber! Four boxes of explosives for two hundred pounds! ”

"The rest is food and other supplies!"

"There are 60,000 catties of 100 meters plus white noodles, 20 boxes of various canned food, and 300 sets of winter coats!"

"There are too many materials left, too miscellaneous, I don't have statistics, I plan to move them all back and count them later!"

"Shhh...... So much ......"

Hong Linfeng, who was born in the old Red Army, gasped and exclaimed.

The guerrillas now have a lot of ammunition and equipment reserves, and they can definitely be called rich men compared to the time of the Red Army.

But compared to the supplies and equipment and ammunition captured in the stronghold, that little reserve is absolutely insignificant.

Then he stared at Li Hao and replied: "Captain, with so many weapons and ammunition, it is no problem for our guerrillas to directly pull up a battalion!" ”

"Yes, there are too many equipment and ammunition, rather than putting them in the warehouse and rusting, it is better to take them out and fight devils in the armed forces!" Jiang Tianhong, the leader of the platoon, added after him.

"I agree with the deputy captain's meaning, use the captured equipment to expand the troops, and directly expand our guerrilla force into battalions!"

Li Hao smiled, but he was very calm and not as impulsive as his subordinates.

After hesitating for a moment, he refused: "Don't think about the expansion for the time being, our guerrillas don't have that strength yet!" ”

"After three victories in three battles, our guerrillas have indeed won an unprecedented battle, with many captures and great results. However, our casualties are also very large! ”

"Although I didn't have specific statistics, I estimated it on the way back."

"Not to mention anything else, all the soldiers who sacrificed their lives add up to more than 100 people!"

"Losing so many troops at one time, it is difficult to even make up the full number, how to expand the number!"

"You have to eat one bite at a time, you have to walk step by step on the road, and you can't be in a hurry to do anything, especially when you lead troops to fight!"

The smiles on the faces of several platoon commanders were gone, and there was no doubt that they all thought of those comrades and comrades-in-arms who died on the battlefield!
