Chapter 136: The Calm Before the Storm

In the thin light of dawn, the long-lost shadow of the boat appeared in Xiao Ling's field of vision, and the first thing she saw was Tang Qiuli's heroic posture standing on the bow of the boat.

The doubts, fears, and worries of Qiē came to naught in an instant, and everyone welcomed Tang Qiuli to get off the boat like a hero, Xiao Ling was by his side, feeling that the others had not noticed, Tang Qiuli's somewhat imperceptible pale face, and slightly vain steps.

Xiao Ling just wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Tang Qiuli's gaze, and after returning to the headquarters, he immediately held a meeting.

At present, the most urgent thing is the issue of the transportation of materials and equipment, Li Honggang has brought him good news, and he has already made contact with the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee, communicated with them, and connected with the local underground party.

It just so happened that in a shipping company run by the Japanese, there was a ** organization, the problem of the steamship had been solved, and the Manchuria Provincial Party Committee also instructed them not to return to Andong after the task was completed, and to join the bloody hand regiment on the spot.

Tang Qiuli was very happy, with these ** people to help deliver materials, he could be 100% assured.

In a short period of two or three days, more than 5,000 people have been mobilized to join the troops, and this is still thanks to the policy implemented by the commander in Andong City.

And the composition of this part of the people is very good, most of them are industrial workers, and the rest are fishermen, Tang Qiuli understands that this is the credit of Li Honggang and their ** members, and he asked Li Honggang to send a warm telegram of thanks to the ** Manchuria Provincial Party Committee.

Qiu Quan told everyone that all the materials and equipment have been collected and disassembled, and they are waiting to be loaded on the ship, and this time they have made a fortune.

In this place of Anton, there are a lot of Japanese enterprises, and they are so fat that they are oily, not counting the materials and equipment, there are 34,000 gold bars and gold bricks confiscated alone, and more than 3 million yuan in the ocean, Tang Qiuli is dizzy when he hears it, how much money does this have to be

If you get rich, and after you get rich, you will have sufficient funds to compete with the Japanese devils in North China, and all these things will be transported to North China to take precautions, and there will be less than two years before the Japanese devils in history launched the "77" incident, so they should make preparations as early as possible.

Qiu Quan smiled and said that he still had more than 2,000 prisoners in his hands and was willing to join the army, so Tang Qiuli had to stay free and asked Qiu Quan what was going on.

After the troops opened the breakthrough and entered the city, Qiuquan led a large group of soldiers to surround the camp of the Manchukuo regiment, and the suburbs were beaten into a pot of porridge, and these soldiers were still in the courtyard and began to assemble.

After the soldiers rushed in, these national soldiers obediently put down their weapons under the threat of the muzzle of the black hole, and it is also interesting to say that more than 3,000 people were disarmed by more than 400 people.

It was the regiment commander and deputy regiment commander, who refused to surrender to the death, occupied several houses with the guard company, and shot desperately, and were all wiped out by the fighters with a submachine gun and grenade.

During the battle, many prisoners picked up guns and fought with the troops, and they fought quite vigorously, and when I asked later, I learned that these prisoners were all captured by strong men, and none of the officers in this regiment, from the regiment commander down, did not drink the blood of soldiers.

These captives, since they were not captured, have not lived a day's life, usually do not have enough to eat, a little uncomfortable, a lot of beatings are Guan Xiao, and more than a dozen strong men who resisted, they were shot, today I have this opportunity, I can get out of this evil breath in my heart.

In accordance with Tang Qiuli's method, Qiuquan arrested all the officers, shot them for the most heinous crimes, had a lot of blood debts, and had people in their hands, and punished many soldiers and ruffians, and won the hearts of these hard-working soldiers at once.

The origin of the soldiers in this army is quite complicated, there are all the people there, and there are people from Hebei, Shandong, and Henan as far away, and after eliminating those who smoke a lot, are not in good health, and want to go home, there are still more than 2,300 people left.

Subsequently, Li Honggang sent over more than a dozen party members who were excellent in military and political affairs, and in just two or three days, he brought the hearts of these soldiers together and formed a brigade of recruits.

All of a sudden, the army increased by 8,000 recruits, and Su zhì was not bad, these recruits were always in Anton, this place was a dangerous place, take them away, the troops would have to fight at any time, and there was no way but to send them back to the base.

In view of the fact that Li Honggang's detachment had lost a lot of troops in several battles, and the total number of troops before and after had already been lost by nearly one brigade, and there were still many wounded.

Therefore, it was decided that Li Honggang would lead a brigade of soldiers to escort the wounded and recruits back to the base, and that 8,000 recruits would be organized into a recruit brigade, with Li Honggang concurrently serving as the captain of the brigade, and that they would conduct organization, political and ideological education at any time on the way back, so as to avoid fighting with devils and national soldiers along the way as much as possible.

Liu Tiehan temporarily served as the leader of a detachment, leading the troops of a brigade left behind by a detachment to participate in the East Manchurian Campaign.

In the afternoon, Li Honggang withdrew with the wounded and recruits, and with the help of the Anton underground party, the materials and equipment were continuously transported to the wharf, and then loaded onto two ships, but the loading speed made Tang Qiuli quite anxious.

According to the current speed, it will take a day and a night to complete all the loading, and there is no way to rush it, Tang Qiuli went to the position on the edge of the Yalu River again, and only one brigade of troops was defending, and he was still a little worried.

He transferred Liu Chun's cavalry detachment to the riverside to serve as a mobile force, and transferred two squadrons of the special detachment to be under the command of Deputy Commander Liu.

The day was spent in peace and busyness, and when I returned to the resting place in the city, it was already dark, and the devil North Korean garrison finally did not come, and the troops had a rare day of peace, and it did not affect the loading of the wharf, and the little devil was quite cooperative.

Entering the house, it was quiet, there was no one, everyone was busy, only a dim electric lamp, emitting a pale yellow halo, but the room seemed to be more empty.

Didn't eat dinner, Tang Qiuli didn't have any appetite at all, he was busy all day during the day, no one could see his physical state, he knew in his heart that his whole body was like a broken shelf, there was no place that was not sore, at this time, he didn't want everyone to be distracted to take care of him, not to mention, his every move affected the morale of the troops, and was a reassuring pill for the troops.

As soon as his head hit the pillow, Venus was scurrying in front of him, he secretly laughed at himself, his body was like tofu scum, and the explosion on the warship still hurt him, although he was not injured.

However, the original injury did not heal, and he was shocked again, and inevitably suffered some injuries, that is, he had a good foundation from practicing martial arts since he was a child, and he was injured one after another, but he could still bear it, and if he was an ordinary person, at this time, he was already bedridden.

In the drowsiness, a pair of gentle hands touched his forehead, Xiao Ling looked at him with concern, he smiled at Xiao Ling, lay down for a while, felt much better, took Xiao Ling's gentle hand, no one spoke, for a while, there was a feeling of sharing weal and woe, and being in love with each other.

Suddenly smelled the tempting aroma of food, and the stomach was angry "cooing", it turned out that after Xiaoling came back, he knew that he had not eaten, so he deliberately went down to the kitchen and made him his favorite meal.

Seeing Tang Qiuli eating sweetly, Xiao Ling was very relieved, she didn't bother him, just looked at her sweetheart with sparkling eyes and gentleness, she knew how heavy the burden on Qiu Li's shoulders was, and Xiao Ling did her best to help him share it.

After eating, Tang Qiuli's exhaustion and pain were completely gone, and she regained her radiant and energetic beautiful youthful state, Xiaoling's eyes lit up, this is the Qiuli in her heart.

Xiao Ling let him drink a bowl of soup that he boiled himself, and he didn't know what was in it, anyway, it was fragrant and delicious, and the smell of medicinal herbs was full, he didn't know that this was the home remedies that Xiao Ling had been preparing for him to nourish his body, and Tang Qiuli's physical condition was always Xiao Ling's greatest concern.

He beckoned Shanhu and Battle, took a team of guards and drove straight to the dock, and inadvertently turned around, Xiaoling's slender and graceful figure was still staring, he felt a little incredible, why did he see this girl, he was full of energy and confidence? Could this be love therapy?

The dock was brightly lit, and there were thousands of people busy loading the tall steamer, and Qiuquan was directing on the spot, and there were a few unfamiliar faces who were busy working outside, and Qiuquan introduced them.

These people are the heads of the ** Anton underground party, these workers who load the ship, they are all organized, when they hear that this young, somewhat unexpectedly handsome young man is the supreme commander of the Bloody Hand Regiment, several people showed surprised looks.

Tang Qiuli didn't see it, he was used to such surprise, he warmly shook hands with a few people and said thank you very much, too, without them organizing so many dock workers, loading the ship would really be a problem.

He instructed Qiuquan to give 50,000 yuan to the Anton underground party and express his gratitude, which should be regarded as supporting their work.

Tang Qiuli is very willing to help ** as much as he can, which makes him feel very happy, and at the same time, he also has indescribable feelings for **.

He also asked Qiuquan to give these hard-working dock workers twenty yuan each as a reward, without them, it is unknown whether these materials and equipment can be transported away.

Looking at the mountains of materials and equipment, little by little, the stone in his heart finally landed, before tomorrow night, it should be able to be loaded, and he has no worries, he can let go of his hands and feet, and fight with the little devil.

When he returned to the station, Xiao Ling had already fallen asleep peacefully, looking at his lover's clean face and sweet sleeping position, his heart was quiet, and he quietly climbed into bed, his hands, habitually touching his lover's plump and warm delicate body, and fell asleep.

A fierce burst of gunfire woke him from his sleep......
