Chapter 36. Rest
Li Yu sat down slowly, put a hand-rolled cigarette in his mouth, took out a match and lit it, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, enjoying the afterglow of the cigarette. Although it is a mixture of newspapers and inferior cut tobacco, for Li Yu, who is now lacking in points, directly exchanging one pack of cigarettes is enough to exchange for five packs of hand-rolled cigarettes.
After a busy day, he was always quite tired near night, especially when he promoted his ideas and ideas to the villagers, which made him feel quite dry now. Not everyone could accept Li Yu's idea, and although they had been oppressed by the grain conscription team and their stomachs were not full, the strength of the Soviets still shocked their hearts, so that they did not dare to show that kind of thought at will.
"But today is not bad, I walked four or five villages, and I was recognized by more than a dozen people."
While smoking a cigarette, Li Yu let out a long puff of smoke, watching the white mist spread and dissipate in front of him, he thought about today's harvest. The group of collective farms that did not accept violence were not driven out because of their direct identification with their ideas, and even because one or two collective farms could not enter the gates.
I'm afraid that if it weren't for Li Yu and his troops, who were still carrying Mosin Nagant rifles as a deterrent, they would have been directly arrested by the group of farm secretaries and production captains who still had confidence in the Soviets and sent to Odessa! Thinking about it now, Li Yu still thinks that those guys can really do it, and they have even sent information to the Odessa Military Region.
After that ambush, the Odessa Military District also seemed to have stopped some activities, not to mention the troops sent to encircle and suppress it, even a small group of reconnaissance troops and secret police could not see it. In more than a week now, Li Yu has traveled to more than a dozen collective farms in this land, and nearly 200 Ukrainians have accepted his ideas.
The more than 200 Ukrainians who accepted his theory, each of whom can bring him more than 200 points every day, although it is not as high as the points obtained because of the battle, but it is better in safety and continuity, and there is no need to worry about the attrition and even casualties caused by the battle.
"Comrade Levsky, it's almost dark, shall we continue to move forward?"
Yuri Marin, who was on guard with a gun on the side, walked over, looked at the darkening colors in the sky, couldn't help but touch the Mosin Nagant rifle in his hand, and said slowly: "Although there is a collective farm in front, there is also a sentry post not far away, if something happens to us, we will soon be attacked."
"The Outpost?" Li Yu was slightly stunned, he took out the topographic map and distribution map he had marked before, compared the surrounding terrain, and quickly determined his location on the map, before looking at one of the markers representing the military outpost, and frowned: "This is a team post of twelve people?"
"Permanent outposts made of cement and concrete, a product of the Russian Civil War."
Yuri Marin did not directly answer Li Yu's question, but pointed directly to the general direction over there through the hill, and frowned: "And it is not a simple outpost, there are also warehouses of the surrounding grain collection teams and supply and marketing cooperatives." After a pause, he thought about it and said, "According to the information I got before, plus the soldiers guarding the warehouse, there should be a platoon or so of people inside!"
"A platoon? That's a bit surprising. ”
Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Li Yu couldn't help frowning a little, although he had used roadside bombs to ambush a platoon before, but it was an ambush and unexpected. Now he is facing a platoon-level infantry unit on the defensive side, and even if he leads the troops to look like a sneak attack, it will turn into a tragic battle.
Looking at the team of seven or eight people behind him, he couldn't even get together an infantry squad, not to mention a simple Mosin Nagant rifle in his hand, not even a light machine gun, if it developed into a tough battle, I am afraid that it would be the direct consequence of being annihilated by the whole army. You must know that a sentry post and a platoon, even without light machine gun firepower, can suppress him, not to mention that in that platoon, there must be more than one light machine gun!
"Let's go back, this outpost had better be kept an eye on at all times."
After pondering for a moment, Li Yu still made a decision, if it was a simple outpost, it was better to say, as long as it was avoided and not actively attacked, there was basically no danger, but once the station of the grain collection team and the warehouse of the supply and marketing cooperatives were added, then it would definitely be a different level of armament. After all, the strength of a platoon, coupled with the defense of permanent pillboxes, is fully capable of dealing with his surprise attack.
Slowly beckoning backwards, Li Yu led his troops to the rear, it was already early afternoon and evening, and the light from the sky had gradually dimmed. Especially reflected in the mountainous areas of Ukraine, it makes the darkness spread out, as if it is a giant beast hidden in the mountains, waiting for the arrival of the weak.
And in fact, this is exactly the case, but there may be many hidden giant beasts, but for now, there must be Li Yu and his troops among them. Inheriting the guerrilla experience of the previous life, as well as implementing the tactics and strategic guidelines of this world, plus not worrying about logistics and supplies, Li Yu's army is only nine people, but it is like the most dangerous giant beast cub, waiting to burst out and hurt people at any time!
Running quickly between the hills, although he could hide his body at night, Li Yu didn't dare to relax his mind at will. Even if he was safe for nearly a week, he was already extremely vigilant in his heart. For the Soviets, perhaps he was weak, and in the face of a weak one who had not moved for a week, he could not imagine what a terrible undercurrent awaited him.
You must know that the Soviet Union is quite experienced in rebel revolutionaries, especially since the start of the collective farm in 1930, there are many rebel revolutionaries even on Russian soil, in order to ensure the stability of the Soviets, the secret police system is quite strong, think about the famous KGB in the Cold War in later generations, Li Yu does not dare to take it lightly.
"It's completely dark."
Walking quickly among the hills, Li Yu squinted slightly, looking at the moon and starlight that appeared in the sky, the bright light shining on the earth, but it was not dark. The sounds of various insects have appeared in the hills, bringing with them all kinds of insect chirping and a quiet and serene night.
Looking at a hill in front of him, behind which is a lush forest, it is dark and dark to see, but the corner of Li Yu's mouth shows a smile, there is the temporary camp that Li Yu and the troops set up before, and it is also the only place for him to rest and recuperate. Pursing his lips slightly, Li Yu beckoned to the troops behind him and whispered, "We have arrived at the camp, let's go back quickly!" ”
"Understood." Yuri Marin and the other soldiers also nodded their heads in response, and after a day of running and publicizing, they were also quite tired. The camp in front of me has been well repaired, and at least there is a place to rest comfortably, and there is no need to continue to lie on the dry and hard ground.
"Hurry up and rest, and we'll go to Glorious Farm tomorrow."
Seeing that the bonfire had been lit and the soldiers had also taken out the bread and sausages they had stored before, Li Yu stretched out his hand and waved at them, making them look at him, and by the way, he announced his plan for tomorrow: "Try to bring some food, I see that Glorious Farm seemed to be seriously short of food a week ago." ”
The glorious farm is the collective farm where the old man is, and it is also the collective farm that most agrees with Li Yu's concept, and now more than 90 people are willing to follow Li Yu's concept, and it has to be said that it is the mass base of Li Yu's most important base area at present.
"Don't worry, Comrade Levsky, the Glorious Farm is almost always willing to follow you."
Yuri Marin grilled bread over the fire, the most familiar bread of the big leba for Russians and Ukrainians, and a whole line for the dinner of the nine of them, with grilled sausages and hot streams, was not as good as a luxury restaurant, but it was a good meal for guerrilla warfare and field food.
