A large motorboat without a windshield was sailing on the Hutuo River. Zhao Hu held the helm in his hand and smiled like a ball of flowers on his face.

That's right, since he heard that a large motorboat was seized, he put down all his work and came to visit. Commander He of the 719th Regiment and his team were going westward to Hebei Central, and this motorboat happened to be cheaper than the engineering battalion.

In addition to loading a large number of mining machinery and equipment from the Ministry of Military Police warehouse, all the damaged guns and empty shells are also included.

The personnel were a large group of wounded soldiers. In addition to the engineering battalion and the 719th Regiment, there were dozens of ordinary people. It was because Zhao Hu ignored the distance and bombarded the houses in the city with explosives, and destroyed a lot of houses in the city. Although most of the ones covered were Japanese, many fellow villagers were affected. Fortunately, it was a rustic house, but it was just smashed to its head and was not in danger of life.

But these fellow villagers had no houses and saw that the snow was approaching, so they had to follow Zhao Hu back to Xibaipo. Anyway, there were a lot of things to do there, so Zhao Hu simply brought them all with them, but they didn't know what criticism they would be given when they went back.

This time, Zhao Hu did not dare to kill all the people. In a brigade of the Japanese, except for the more than 500 people killed, there were still five or six hundred wounded soldiers and prisoners. Of course, there were almost 200 seriously injured people in the Eighth Route Army, and the wounded people of the Eighth Route Army could not bear it. These people were sent to the arsenal mining area. Those who could survive could save them, and those who could not survive had to fall down.

Zhao Hu originally thought that there were 300 prisoners going to mine, and his superiors would spare him. Unexpectedly, his first act and then report completely angered the military region. Commander Nie personally reported, criticizing his unorganized and undisciplined behavior by name, and demoting his battalion commander to acting battalion commander. At the same time, he strictly ordered without the orders of the military region, and strictly prohibited Zhao Hu from taking a step out of Xibaipo!

Wang Kaishan covered his left arm that was injured by shrapnel and complained softly: "The artillery and shells are all taken away. Even the light and heavy machine guns are only left with broken ones for us. I don't understand how you can laugh?"

"Why can't you laugh? Look at this ship of treasures, not only does the Japanese 75 shells, but also the aviation bombs they put in from somewhere. Oh, by the way, in addition to the machinery, there is also a shock-breaking radio station. We can use it when we go back to repair it. That 92 cannon is not impossible to copy. Are you not satisfied with so many treasures?"

"Yes, why do you say the Japanese have nothing to do to put the aviation bomb in the county? There is no airport here, forget it, no matter it, there is a lot of explosives in it anyway. By the way, it's going to snow. What else do we have to do when we go back? Should we let everyone rest for a while? I was too tired from fighting a while ago."

"Rest? Haven't you seen the performance of the Second Company this time? So many people, even a dozen Japanese who jumped into the lake, wouldn't even hit us, otherwise the 719th Regiment wouldn't make us laugh at us like this. We only have fast guns but no marksmanship, and we will only waste bullets! Go back and train quickly. In addition to the Second Company, the recruits who fought with us must also train strictly. I don't believe it. If they spend a lot of bullets, if their marksmanship cannot be raised, if they fail, they will fish for me!"

Wang Kaishan prayed silently for these recruits for a few seconds, hoping that they could survive this long winter. Then he pointed to a batch of mining machinery and equipment in front of him and said, "Even if the gun factory is rebuilt, these equipment is not suitable. Apart from a round car, there is not even a pull-and-milling machine, let alone a drilling machine punch. The superiors will no longer let you attack this time. It will not be easy to get the gun factory."

"A good fitter can make a wrench gun just by hand, not to mention that there are horizontal boilers and round cars here. Besides, we can build an arsenal without anything before? Comrade, as long as our minds do not fall into decline, there are always more ways than difficulties!"

"Your thoughts have just fallen. I am a firm communist. Forget it, I won't talk nonsense with you. I'll go see the wounded. It's cold this day. I have to look for coach Wang to use these cotton to make some cotton coats and quilts, otherwise everyone will not be able to hold on."

Zhao Hu smiled at Wang Kaishan's back. This time it was not only as simple as destroying a brigade. It not only disrupted the Japanese army's attempt to siege our base from all sides, but also seized a large amount of cotton and grain that was about to be transported, and also brought a ship of ammunition and equipment. It can be said that this time, it is not an exaggeration to make a fortune in this transaction.

After the county town, Lao Geng stayed with more than a dozen underground party members. He refused Zhao Hu's kindness to invite him to Xibaipo for treatment. In other words, in addition to the Japanese and puppet troops, there were also many traitors and traitors who were accomplices of the tiger. Those reactionary presidents, local tyrants and evil gentry had to go to liquidate, and they had no time to worry about minor injuries.

Zhao Hu could only apologize to him. He ignored him and blew up half of the county town and patted his butt and walked. But Lao Geng had to clean up the mess for him and build houses for the people. Although the property seized by the county town and half of the food were left behind, someone had to organize it?

The motorboat was traveling along the river and arrived at Xibaipo just as it was dark. This time, Battalion Commander Gan came to greet him in person. Zhao Hu couldn't help but say surprise: "Bath Commander Gan, why are you here? What should I do with the arsenal?"

"Haha, the arsenal is safe. There is a battalion that looks fine. Besides, the biggest group of Japanese devils have been destroyed by you. Even if I want to defend, there must be Japanese devils. Good, I am worthy of being my soldier. I'm not wrong with you!"

"Forget it, I'm almost dead by Commander Xiong. Haven't you seen one letter of criticism after another?"

"Haha, that's why you can't bear to let go of your baby, but you've been doing it this time. If it weren't for your fight, the Japanese might have really brought up a village with hundreds of people in the fourth division. Old Liu praised you on the top, and you'd almost say that you had horns on your head!"

"I'm not awesome, how can I grow horns?"

"More than that, you're so awesome this time. As soon as the 120-mm cannon came out, it was regarded as the lifeblood by the various troops. Didn't you see Commander He ask for merit for the arsenal? A large number of shots were better than any cannon!"

"By the way, Captain Gan, are you here to escort the Japanese prisoners back this time? You have to be careful when using these prisoners. Never let them touch our core secrets. Even if we use manual files in our arsenal, we cannot use those Japanese technicians. If they leak out, they will suffer a catastrophe..."

"You can rest assured that these Japanese and puppet troops can only dig coal, and they don't even let them rely on the copper mine. By the way, I heard that there are many serious wounded people inside, so our medicine is not enough!"

"The medicine we made is used to save the Eighth Route Army. Many of the Japanese were injured internally. I heard that even if the injury is healed, they cannot do heavy work. Do you think it's okay to let them carry the wounded by themselves or the puppet army carry it? Let's turn a blind eye!"

"Haha, I understand. The Eighth Route Army does not raise people who eat idle food. Okay, the prisoners are coming later. You can go there first. When the superiors let it go, I will plead for you!"

Zhao Hu waved to Captain Gan: "Goodbye Captain Gan, take care of it when it's cold."

Captain Gan waved to him and said, "Go back quickly, two more nurses have come to your branch hospital. You have to treat them well!"

Zhao Hu had a bad feeling in his heart. Sure enough, as soon as he arrived at the island of Huxin, he saw Nurse Yu put down the wounded and rushed straight into his arms. He cried so hard that Zhao Hu could not let go, nor did he not let go. He had to comfort him softly, which made the Eighth Route Army wounded on both sides giggle and his fellow villagers.

After finally putting the wounded in place, Director Wang came over to complain. There were too many people coming, and he was not prepared. He didn't even talk about the clothes and didn't even have enough places to live.

Zhao Hu had no choice but to ask the new and old soldiers of the engineering battalion to put aside all their work and first open a few caves in the middle of the lake. They are all yellow land. As long as people with level are good caves, they can open a good cave. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, and they don’t waste much firewood. At the same time, Zhao Hu also seized the time to transport a large amount of coal from the arsenal to prepare winter supplies for everyone.

When the first heavy snow fell, all the caves were already in full bloom. Everyone hid inside and roasted on fire. Looking at the snow and looking forward to the good harvest of the coming year, Zhao Hu came outside the yard wearing a newly made cotton coat, thinking about how to build this alcohol factory and an arsenal. And the master has not yet settled, so time is urgent and I can't relax!
