Chapter 264: Lao Li, I've been waiting for an hour, you're too slow!
But the current situation left Li Yunlong with no good solution and he could only fight with the Japanese at a loss. The hand-to-hand combat lasted until four o'clock in the afternoon. In the end, only more than 100 people were left standing on the Xiaoyunling position, and the rest all fell down.
Lin Zhenhua supported himself with the turtle knife in his hand and shouted in grief: "Comrades, we have won, we have defended the Xiaoyunling position!"
But no one on the battlefield cheered. Everyone's physical and mental strength had reached the limit and they were just holding on. Lin Zhenhua came to the phone and called the garrison battalion directly, asking them to come to support as quickly as possible.
All members of the medical company were also mobilized to provide first aid to the wounded on the battlefield. Lin Zhenhua also personally assisted and helped the wounded bandage their wounds.
"Hurry up, there are still many soldiers alive, we must rescue them. Immediately use all our stocks of miracle drugs, and take out the life-saving pills I prepared, and let the soldiers take them. No matter what, we must save the lives of the soldiers!"
"Zhu Zi, you must immediately lead your men to clean up the Japanese corpses and finish off the living Japanese. You must act quickly and clear the position quickly to prevent the Japanese from attacking!"
Under Lin Zhenhua's orderly arrangement, the soldiers began to get busy. Li Yunlong's wound had been bandaged by the medical staff. He came to Lin Zhenhua and said with a frustrated look on his face: "College student, our losses this time are too great. I plan to transfer all the two garrison battalions to strengthen the defense of the two positions!"
"Now is the weakest time for our independent regiment. The more we have to show our confidence, the more we can deceive the devils! The devils will definitely not miss our independent regiment in this round of sweeping operations. I estimate that there will be more battles to fight next! But the total number of troops we have now is only more than 2000. It is indeed a bit stretched to defend such a large base!"
"But now it will be useless even if we ask the brigade commander for help. The New 1st and New 2nd Regiments, which are closest to us, also suffered heavy losses in this defensive battle. Their organization has basically been destroyed. We have to think about this matter carefully!"
Lin Zhenhua did not care too much about Li Yunlong's worries. The independent regiment was very weak now, but with the support of the New 1st and 2nd Regiments, the Japanese might not dare to take action, not to mention that he had already thought of a response strategy.
"Old Li, let's talk about these things later. Let's go to the Japanese camp first. I estimate that there are not many people left in the camp. To be on the safe side, let's take two platoons of soldiers with us. Maybe we can capture a Japanese general. It will be worth the huge price we paid and it will make our comrades happy!" Lin Zhenhua urged hurriedly.
Before Li Yunlong could speak, Ding Wei immediately advised him: "College student, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how few people there are in the Japanese camp, it will not be less than a squadron. If we take two platoons with us, it will be like throwing meat buns at a dog. You can't make random suggestions at this time. If we are caught by the Japanese, it means we have given up the victory. We must not do such a stupid thing!"
The honest Kong Jie also agreed very much and said, "College student, your action is too risky. It is very difficult for us to hold the Xiaoyunling position now. We can only mobilize one company of troops. If we lose two platoons of troops, we will not be able to hold the next position! You should give up this idea. I know you have always been lucky. Even if the enemy's camp is good, there will not be only a few people. We can't rush over stupidly, otherwise we will become food in the enemy's bowl and will definitely be eaten to death by the enemy!"
Li Yunlong also felt that what the two old comrades said was very right, and he immediately persuaded them: "College student, you better be honest! Wait until night, and then we will sneak in to have a look. After all, no matter how brave the Japanese are, they can't send out all their troops, let alone play an empty city trick with us in the camp. We should wait until night to find out the truth!"
Lin Zhenhua didn't expect that his proposal would be opposed by the three people. He agreed on the surface and assured them sincerely: "Since you three think it is dangerous, I will listen to your opinions and go to the enemy's camp at night. Maybe I can find some good things!"
"We are all gathered together now, so let's assign our respective tasks. Lao Li, you will be responsible for leading the people to treat the wounded. I will give you a platoon of soldiers. Send the wounded to the hospital as soon as possible. The conditions there will be better!"
"Old Ding, I'll give you a platoon of soldiers. You'll be responsible for cleaning up the bodies of the soldiers and finishing off the remaining Japanese soldiers!"
"Lao Kong, you have the most important task. I will give you two platoons of troops. Clear out the fortifications immediately. This is also our top priority right now. It concerns the safety of the position and we cannot afford to be careless!"
"I will lead the remaining two platoons to clean up the battlefield and collect the guns and ammunition left behind by the devils!"
Li Yunlong pouted unhappily and said, "College student, you are quite good at planning. You have arranged everything for the three of us clearly. Since you have made a great contribution this time, I will not bother with you this time..."
Just as Li Yunlong was about to continue speaking, he was interrupted by Ding Wei, "Old Li, stop talking nonsense and hurry up and work! We have to hurry up, because at night, we can't see clearly without lighting equipment!"
Li Yunlong knew that Ding Wei was telling the truth, so he stopped talking nonsense and started to do things according to Lin Zhenhua's arrangement. Lin Zhenhua led the monk and Duan Peng to walk out of the position. They needed to go to a farther place to clean up the battlefield. Lin Zhenhua's behavior did not surprise the other three.
"Monk, I just asked you to take six machine guns and 30 submachine guns. Did you take them all?" Lin Zhenhua asked worriedly.
Monk Wei patted his chest and assured: "College students, I brought 40 submachine guns and eight light machine guns. Each of us has six magazines. Even if we face a squadron of devils, we don't have to be afraid at all. We can defeat them head-on! Even if a squadron of devils comes, we can delay for half an hour and wait for the arrival of reinforcements!"
Lin Zhenhua looked at Duan Peng. Before he could speak, Duan Peng replied directly: "College student, when I came out, I brought two grenade launchers with me, and asked everyone to carry six melon grenades. I prepared them according to your instructions!"
Seeing that the two were so well prepared and did not compromise on his orders at all, Lin Zhenhua finally felt relieved. He took the monk and Duan Peng and quickly approached the Japanese camp.
"Don't ask anything, just follow me. I'll take you to the enemy camp and bring back some good stuff!"
During the march, Lin Zhenhua spoke out the real purpose of the trip. He had estimated the dangers involved, and for safety reasons, he brought two platoons of troops. Otherwise, he would have only brought one squad to the meeting alone.
In the Japanese camp, Ichiro Katayama was making an apology by throwing his belly with the help of three telegraph operators.
"Hurry up and help me end the pain in front of me. Even if I die, I can't die in the hands of the Chinese. I didn't complete the mission assigned by the headquarters. The only thing I can do is to commit seppuku to apologize!"
Ichiro Katayama had already drawn a cross on his stomach, and a samurai sword was inserted straight into it. Kobayashi Heiji picked up the samurai sword and killed Ichiro Katayama. He took out the gun box in his hand, shot himself in the head, and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, two more gunshots rang out, and the entire Japanese camp fell completely silent. Except for the grunting sounds of eight big fat pigs, it was so quiet that it made people feel creepy.
When Lin Zhenhua heard three gunshots, he knew something was wrong and immediately quickened his pace. By the time he arrived, everything had already been decided. Ichiro Katayama's head had been chopped off, and the three Japanese telegraph operators had all committed suicide.
Lin Zhenhua didn't have time to care about these things. He hurriedly broke into the tent where the Japanese had placed the radio stations. When he saw that all three radio stations were destroyed by guns, the two of them were so upset that they wanted to cry. The main purpose of his coming here this time was to get these radio stations, but he never expected that all of them were damaged by the Japanese. He could only take them back temporarily to see if they could be repaired.
The monk and Duan Peng were concerned about Lin Zhenhua's safety, so they rushed in immediately. When they saw that Lin Zhenhua was safe, they were relieved. They left a squad of soldiers to protect Lin Zhenhua. The monk and Duan Peng each led two squads of soldiers and began to search the enemy camp. They searched from beginning to end, but did not find a single enemy. At this time, nearly an hour had passed. When they told Lin Zhenhua the news, they did not see any surprise on his face.
Lin Zhenhua ordered calmly: "Monk, drive the enemy's trucks here immediately and drive them all to the middle of the camp. Don't forget to send someone to report the situation. We have to clear out all the supplies in the enemy's camp before the enemy reinforcements arrive! We can use all the food, drinks and daily necessities, not to mention that the enemy must have stockpiled a lot of ammunition for this battle. We might even be able to make a fortune!"
"Duan Peng, immediately lead a platoon of soldiers to guard the area. If you find any suspicious people approaching, immediately fire a warning shot!"
"We must act quickly. It's already 5:38 pm and it will be dark in another hour. We don't have much time left!"
Under Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, the monk and Duan Peng immediately took action. Lin Zhenhua was also not idle. He began to count the supplies and sorted out the documents left behind by the devils, which might be useful.
When it was almost dark, Li Yunlong led a platoon of soldiers to rush over. The reason why he didn't bring more people was that he was very short of manpower. However, he had already called the garrison battalion and asked them to organize the civilians to come and help transport supplies. It would only take one night to empty the Japanese camp, and everyone was very confident about this.
"Lao Li, I've been waiting for you for an hour, and you've only just come. Aren't you a little too slow?"
