Chapter 41: The Black Market

Liao Fan decided to eliminate this devil brigade, so that his troops would have a well-known reputation in the Taihang Mountain area, although the casualties this time might be large, but he was sure to eliminate this devil brigade. Δ┡E『Δ 『ㄟ.

Liao Fan was lucky this time, the officers of the little devils were all on vacation, and more than half of the officers of this brigade of little devils were on their way.

After Liu Chundao's troops passed through the scorpion ditch, Liao Fan asked a squad of soldiers around him to pick them up, and the little devil's troops also caught up.

"Hit!" Liao Fan ordered.

"Boom Boom"

Mortar shells and grenades rained down into the scorpion ditch, and the pursuing little devils were blown up.

The captain of the little devil reacted that he had been ambushed by the squadron: "Quickly contact Fujita Daisa, our troops are ambushed by the squadron and ask for support." The captain of the little devil called out to a telegraph operator beside him.

The little devil's telegraph operator had just taken off the telegraph on his back when he was hit by a bullet and fell.

"Call Command! Call the Command Department! When the captain of the little devil saw that the telegraph operator had fallen, he hurriedly picked up the telegraph to contact the command, but there was no response.

"Baga!" The captain of the little devil's brigade saw that the telegraph had been pierced by bullets, and threw it aside in anger, "Communication troops, communication troops, let the squadrons organize defense." "But the little devil's troops, the lack of commanders, the battlefield is full of chaos. The little devils' troops are fighting on their own, and they can't organize an effective defense at all.

"Click"

After Liao Fan's troops threw grenades, all kinds of light and heavy firepower began to fire, and the little devils fell in pieces.

The captain of the little devil looked at the situation of the troops and ordered: "Break through!" All troops immediately broke through. When the little devil heard the order, he began to break back.

Liao Fan saw that the little devil's troops were about to break through: "Old horse, lead a battalion to block the little devil's retreat." ”

"Da Da Da" a heavy machine gun blocked the retreat route of the little devils.

"Baga!" The captain of the little devil's brigade saw that his way was blocked, and shouted, "That unit has such powerful firepower, blow up that heavy machine gun for me." ”

The little devils continued to organize breakthroughs, but they were all blocked by Ma Wanzhong's battalion, and the casualties on both sides began to increase gradually, and the battle ended after more than two hours, but the command of the little devils never knew that the strength of one of their brigades had been wiped out, and thought that they were chasing the fleeing squadron, and Fujita Ichiro made another mistake, thinking that unless there were two divisions on the Shanxi border, no one could block the attack of one of his brigades.

Liao Fan should be grateful for the fact that the Jingsui Army and the Central Army fled without a fight in Shanxi, which caused Fujita Ichiro's arrogant thinking.

"Spring knife, how about you not get hurt, right? What about the casualties of the guard company? Liu Chundao came to Liao Fan with the guard company.

"There were few casualties in our guard company, twelve people were killed and more than thirty were wounded." Liu Chundao said, "But Battalion Commander Hu was injured. ”

"Old Hu? Where is Lao Hu injured? Seriously not? Liao Fan asked eagerly.

"I don't know," Liu Chundao replied truthfully, "I was already in a coma when I saw Camp Commander Hu, and I have arranged for someone to send him back." ”

"Fanzi, what's wrong?" Liao Jundong rushed over and saw Liao Fan with a worried face.

"Brother, it's okay, how are the casualties of the troops?" Liao Fan asked.

"The casualties this time are a bit large, more than 400 people were killed, and more than 800 people were injured, but the little devils were all wiped out by us, and I asked them to clean up the battlefield and bring the troops back." Liao Jundong said.

"Brother, this time we consume a lot of ammunition, and it is estimated that John's side will not have enough medicine, so let Sun Boyong quickly arrange recruitment after going back." Liao Fan was worried that after this battle, the little devil began to pay attention to himself, and he wanted to solve the little devil's stronghold, but he didn't expect to kill a big fish in the end, and the little devil might draw troops from the front line to encircle and suppress them.

However, Liao Fan's miscalculation this time, the Battle of Wuhan was at a critical moment, if the little devil drew too many troops from the front line, the Kuomintang troops counterattacked on all fronts, and the entire defense line of the little devil would be in danger. And this time Liao Fan eliminated the strength of a devil brigade, and Fujita Ichiro was removed from his position as wing commander due to command problems and handed over to a military court.

Liao Fan asked the soldiers of the special combat team to keep an eye on the movements of the little devils in the city, but the commander of the new little devils didn't seem to have any interest in Liao Fan and them, just kept catching the strong men and repairing the turret.

"Lao Hu, how is the wound?" Liao Fan saw that Lao Hu was still lying on the bed, but at least he woke up.

John saw Liao Fan running in and said, "Commander Liao, this is a hospital, the wounded need to recuperate, and they are not allowed to speak loudly." ”

"Mr. John, how is he?" Liao Fan asked John.

"He was lucky that he had three injuries on his body, none of which were critical, but he lost too much blood and his body was too weak, so he needed to recuperate for a while." John said, "Captain Liao, let's go out and talk, it will disturb the patient's rest." ”

Out of the ward. John said: "Commander Liao is in urgent need of medicine now, if we encounter such a battle again, we have no medicine to treat the wounded, especially the seriously wounded, I can't do anything." ”

"Mr. John, we have already discussed this matter, and we will go get a batch of medicines in the near future." Liao Fan knew that the wounded had to be dealt with as soon as possible, and if the wounded were not treated, it would be a great blow to the morale of the troops.

Liao Fan talked to John about some other things, and then asked John to list the medicines he needed, and Liao Fan asked others to get the medicines.

After Liao Fan and John finished chatting, they went to see the wounded, and after leaving the hospital, they had been thinking about how to get medicines, what things could not always be snatched from the hands of devils, if there was no stable supply line of medicines, in case of special circumstances, it would be the soldiers under Liao Fan who would suffer.

"Fanzi, what's wrong?" Liao Jundong was packing up his things, and when he saw Liao Fan walking into the headquarters dejectedly, he asked Liao Fan directly.

"It's okay, there are some things I don't understand, I don't know how to do it." After Liao Fan returned to the headquarters, he lay directly on the bed.

Liao Jundong saw that Liao Fan's nature was not high, so he took a chair and sat on the edge of the bed: "Fanzi, what do you not understand?" Tell me about it, and my brother will help you analyze it. ”

"Brother, I went to the hospital today to see the wounded," Liao Fan turned over to look at Liao Jundong, "John told me that we don't have enough medicine, and if there is another battle, those wounded will have no medical protection." ”

"Medicine is indeed a big problem, the little devil now controls all pharmacies in the county, and we can't buy drugs from the nearby county at all." Liao Jundong also knows that the current medicine is more difficult to get than all kinds of military supplies.

"But I have a thought, this solution can solve our worries, but there is no suitable candidate." Liao Fan said.

"If you have any ideas, let's talk about them first." Liao Jundong asked.

Liao Fan sat up: "We can get medicine from Chongqing." ”

"Buy medicine from Chongqing?" Liao Jundong looked at Liao Fan a little puzzled, "You mean to buy medicine from the Kuomintang?" ”

"Not from the Kuomintang, it's from the underground black market in Chongqing." Liao Fan explained, "In Chongqing's underground black market, there are not only medicines, but also a lot of military supplies, all of which are detained from the army by some high-ranking military officials, and then sold on the black market. ”
