Half a month later, Li Hao took Lin Xinran back to Chongqing safely.

In the entire rescue operation, the commando team lost a total of 8 team members and seriously injured two, which can be described as a heavy loss.

After this battle, only one of the three detachments of the assault team was left to participate in the battle at any time.

The effort and the gain are often proportional.

The greater the effort, the greater the gain.

Major General Kikuta, the head of the Nanjing Special High School and the commander of the military police, faced one defeat after another, did not hesitate to choose to have his own office disemboweled, to preserve his last honor as a soldier.

The Nanjing Military Police Headquarters, the Special High Section, the Special Service Team, the Plainclothes Team, and a large number of officers were held accountable and replaced.

The underground party and the intelligence organization under the command of Chongqing took advantage of the opportunity to expand their strength, and the intelligence network was not only not damaged by this rescue operation, but was greatly strengthened.

Li Hao also had an unexpected gain.

The looted finances from the banks, except for the counterfeit currency, were used by the underground party and the intelligence organizations commanded by Chongqing, and all the gold and foreign currency were brought back to Chongqing.

After more than a month of back and forth, the pharmaceutical factory has also undergone tremendous changes.

With the support of the pharmaceutical factory's abundant funds, it took only ten days for the garrison to return to full strength.

The pharmaceutical plant also resumed production within half a month.

The new factories were all built in bomb shelters to prevent the Japanese from bombing again.

The preparation speed of the Xi'an pharmaceutical factory is also very fast.

In more than a month, the pharmaceutical factory sent three things to Xi'an, including equipment and raw materials, as well as weapons and ammunition.

"Regiment commander, so far, we have sent a total of 60 heavy mortars and 3,000 rounds of artillery shells. In addition, 1,200 rounds of heavy artillery shells and 1,500 rounds of heavy mortar shells were sent to the old units. The leader of a commando detachment left behind in the pharmaceutical factory reported.

Li Hao frowned: "The speed is still too slow." ”

If memory serves, the Battle of the Hundred Regiments will begin in a little more than a month.

At the current pace, it is certainly impossible to send all 150 heavy mortars to the base areas to participate in the war before the war.

After thinking for a while, he made a decision: "Two days later, I will organize a transport, and this time I will personally escort the car." ”

"You go and contact the trucks now, get together 30 vehicles, and I will transport 60 mortars and 5,000 matching shells at a time."

"Three thousand shells were rationed for sixty heavy mortars, and two thousand were given to the garrison regiments."

"Since the news came out from the headquarters that the arsenal under our garrison regiment can produce heavy mortars on a small scale, the garrison regiment has once again become a thorn in the side of the little devil and a thorn in the flesh."

"According to intelligence: the Japanese have assembled a main division around the garrison regiment and are determined to swallow us in one bite and destroy the arsenal."

"The pressure on the garrison regiment will certainly be unprecedented, and without a sufficient number of ammunition reserves, it will by no means be an opponent."

The headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the deputy commander-in-chief and the deputy chief of staff were also discussing the garrison regiment.

The reaction of the Japanese was completely beyond the expectations of the two men.

Although the garrison regiment is very powerful, it is a regiment-level force after all, and the total strength is so much.

A main brigade and a local garrison to kill it is already a knife for the Japanese.

didn't expect them to send a main division to kill them, which is not like the combat style of the little devil at all.

In fact, the Japanese army is not to blame for this.

The garrison regiment was too capable of fighting, and countless Japanese officers were defeated in their hands.

Once bitten by a snake for ten years, I was afraid of the well rope.

Hearing that the front army was going to attack the garrison regiment again, not a single officer below the rank of major general dared to step on the garrison regiment's mine.

What happened to Nakata Yamaro is still fresh in their memory.

A main brigade and the full support of the Nakata family were all defeated in the end, and ended up retiring from active service.

They have no background, no family backing, and the probability of defeat is definitely greater than that of Nakata Yamaro.

Nakata Yamaro has a background, and the price he paid after the defeat was to retire from active service.

I have nothing, and after the defeat of the war, I will definitely be sent to a military court, and I will not even have the opportunity to retire from active service.

No one wanted to go to the former enemy commander of the offensive garrison.

This commander also has no confidence if the command of the Front forces forces an order is forced.

In a battle, even the commander does not have the confidence to win, the morale of the troops will definitely be low, and the battle will definitely be lost.

After thinking about it, the commander felt that he could not take a brigade to risk a battle with almost no chance of winning.

On the spot it was decided to increase a brigade to a division.

"Boss, although the pressure on the garrison regiment has increased, the pressure on the other troops has decreased." The deputy chief of staff replied with a glint in his eyes.

"In order to make up this division, the North China Front transferred a lot of people from other base areas."

"This will definitely be of great benefit to our next big counteroffensive."

"Coupled with the 60 heavy mortars and 3,000 rounds of artillery shells that Comrade Li Hao has already sent to the troops, our major counteroffensive will certainly be more successful and smoother."

"I think this method of warfare is feasible to exchange partial sacrifices for the victory of the whole overall situation."

The deputy commander-in-chief was silent for a moment and replied: "Feasible is feasible, but there is a problem in it." ”

"A division of the Japanese army has been assembled, and as long as the baggage and ammunition are in place, it may attack at any time."

"And our counteroffensive is still in the preparation stage, which means that the garrison regiment will have to support at least a month under the attack of a Japanese division."

"The difference in strength is there, and Comrade Li Hao is not there, can they hold it?"

The deputy chief of staff reminded: "Boss, according to the intelligence, Comrade Li Hao has safely answered Chongqing and successfully rescued Comrade Lin Xinran. ”

"Or we'll transfer him back to the garrison."

"If Chongqing is still inseparable from him, then he will be seconded for the time being, and when our major counteroffensive begins and the crisis of the garrison is resolved, let him return to Chongqing."

The deputy commander-in-chief had a happy face, and just as he was about to speak, the communications staff officer hurriedly ran over and attracted his attention.

"Chief, Chongqing is in an emergency, and it's an encrypted telegram!"

The deputy chief of staff took the telegram and sat down at the table to translate it, and as soon as he was halfway through the translation, a smile appeared on his face.

"Boss, God is helping us with the Eighth Route Army."

"As soon as he said that Comrade Li Hao would be asked to return to the army temporarily, his news came."

"Comrade Li Hao decided to personally escort a batch of weapons and ammunition to Xi'an, this time the number is a bit much, a full 60 heavy mortars and 5,000 rounds of supporting shells, except for 2,000 rounds of artillery shells for the garrison regiment, the rest of the weapons and ammunition are for us, let us be ready to take over."

The smile on the deputy commander's face was even stronger, this is definitely one

Great news.

"Comrade Li Hao deserves to be our lucky general."

"With sixty heavy mortars joining the battle, the troops' attack capability will definitely be greatly enhanced, and the losses in the counteroffensive will also be reduced, and he will do us a great favor!"
