Chapter 189 The rainy season moves eastward
Since the beginning of summer, the rain has not stopped much. As the lake surface gradually rises, the engineering battalion is busy digging drainage ditches and sorting chicken coops and pig houses all day long. Qin Huo was convinced by Zhao Hu this time. When he met someone, he said that Battalion Commander Zhao would watch the celestial phenomena at night. He had long been calculating that there was a flood this year. He was so angry that his teachings asked him to scold him, saying that he would not promote feudal superstition in the future.
Fortunately, the engineering camps were all open on the hillside, drainage ditches were opened, and a large number of sweet potato vines were cleared, and the drainage was smooth and the crops were not flooded.
After Qin Huo spent 3,000 duck eggs, he finally hatched ducklings in Kengfang. Of course, he asked several local fellow villagers to come and help, so it was smooth. However, he used various herbs to eliminate all kinds of bacteria in the bud, and even a plague occurred in several farms. For this reason, he was commended by his superiors!
The heavy rain made it difficult for the Japanese mobile troops to move forward, but it also blocked traffic in various places in the base area, making many materials unable to be transported, including the military sub-district arsenal. The biggest problem is that the base has insufficient food. Now even the alcohol factory has to stop the factory and wait for materials. It is estimated that the construction will be started, and a large number of sweet potatoes will be produced before it can be produced.
In the drizzle, two figures with umbrellas appeared in front of a cave in the north mountain of the base. Yu Shiqin asked in confusion: "It's deserted here, why are you bringing me here? You won't have any bad intentions, right?"
Zhao Hu scraped her delicate nose and smiled, "Even if I have bad intentions, I won't run so far. I'm not tired. I have some serious business to come to you. This matter needs to be kept secret now, so I can only know it for you alone, and you have to help me keep the secret!"
When Meiren Yu saw Zhao Hu opening the door seal stone in front of the cave with serious reason, she couldn't help but say to herself: "What's so mysterious? Didn't you even find a treasure house?"
In the cave, Zhao Hu pointed to several aircraft engines discharged on both sides, bundles of bridge angle steel, piles of cars, armored vehicle bottom plate parts, and hundreds of semi-finished gun pipes: "This is all kinds of materials I secretly collected. Because the source is inconvenient to explain in detail, I can only tell you one person first. If this attack is not smooth, I want you to hand over these materials to Minister Cha personally. Can you do it?"
A jade hand suddenly covered his lips, Yu Shiqin's eyes were filled with tears, and she choked and said, "You are not allowed to say that. No matter how far you go, I will wait for you here. Brother Huzi, don't leave me alone, okay? I'm afraid!"
Zhao Hu gently hugged the beauty and looked up and said, "Don't worry, I will try to be careful. Of course, this is just to prevent accidents. So after I leave, you will tell Minister Cha about these supplies half a month. The most important ones here are an X-ray machine and two radio stations that I have repaired by myself, so there is no need to be missed at all."
"Well, I will hand it over to Minister Cha, but you have to promise me that I must come back safely!"
Zhao Hu gently patted her back and smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Japanese have not built the bullets that I fired. This time I want to make a big deal. If I succeed, I can save at least several years of effort and wait for me!"
Meiren Yu could wait, but Zhao Hu couldn't wait any longer. He wanted to secretly go out to get some extra blocks while the Japanese were unable to dispatch the air force now. In fact, he was still thinking about the idea of 10,000 rifles and 200,000 military boots. Although he didn't want to grab military boots, he burned it with a fire. The Japanese would have to wear straw sandals this winter, so why not do it?
This time he was clever and sent a telegram to Minister Cha for several days to ask Minister Cha for food, saying that he had enough to eat duck eggs every day, and had asked the logistics company to make all the eggs into peeled eggs. If there was no more food, the entire battalion would have to kill pigs and eat meat every day.
When Minister Cha heard this, he knew that this kid was restless again. Now he was only half a pig. If he was killed, the military region leader would not spray himself to death during the Chinese New Year. So he sent a telegram and told him to be careful and not to cause trouble nearby. In fact, the meaning is very clear. You can go out to grab food, but you can't attract the Japanese. This is the weapon supply point of the entire military region and you can't make a big splash.
After receiving the order, Zhao Hu immediately recruited all the special forces members and ran out overnight.
This time, the special forces added a lot of people. Five were selected from the cooking platoon alone, and there were already thirty-three people drawn from the army. Of course, the weapons from the base arsenal were also given priority to the special forces.
More than 30 people were divided into three classes, each class was divided into two assault groups, with a general machine gun, a grenade launcher and a semi-automatic grenade launcher. Among them, the grenade launcher and grenade launcher were not included in the organization, so the main and deputy of the machine gun, the grenade handler and the grenade handler were all equipped with 50 drum bobsha submachine guns, while the others were all semi-automatic rifles.
Each of the three left and right arrows and Gouzi was equipped with a semi-automatic sniper rifle. For the scope on the Gouzi's gun, Zhao Hu found several troops before he asked for it.
Each of the more than 30 team members has a backpack, each with a five-kilogram yellow medicine bag. This is also a special battle for the engineering battalion. When fighting, you can bring less ammunition. It is essential for explosives. This is the magic weapon that everyone relies on to defeat the Japanese. If you encounter a strong enemy, even if you can't find a gasoline barrel and dig a hole on the ground, you can blow the Japanese into the sky!
There are not many bullets, each person has only 30 or 50, and the machine gunner has only 200. Of course, each person has a large number of mines and grenades, all of which are upgraded iron bead grenades and jumping into the mine. If the special forces have to bring a lot of food and ammunition when attacking, it is better to stay at home.
The waterway is now open, and the large motorboat sent more than 30 people to Huangbi Lake and turned back. The next journey has to be on foot by everyone, across the entire Hebei Plain and reaching the eastern Hebei region.
At this time, Commander Lu's Hebei Anti-Japanese Base Area was in full swing. Along the way, he often encountered local armed forces such as guerrillas and county brigades. He also warmly welcomed the brother troops. The special forces did not explain the purpose of the trip, but only said that they were ordered to carry out the mission. With Minister Cha's letter of introduction, he could make hot rice and hot dishes anywhere, which made everyone's marching on the rain road less hard.
From west to east, there were only a few hundred miles in total. Everyone traveled day and night, and within a few days they arrived at the west of Jinpu Road. When they were about to pass by at night, gunfire sounds came from the front.
These days, everyone has been marching in secret. When Zhao Hu encountered a reactionary Taoist sect, he didn't let him take action. The soldiers could no longer bear it. When they heard the gunshots, they were ready, and just waited for Zhao Hu to issue the order.
"Battle, you and Zuo Arrow lead two groups to conduct a reconnaissance. Be careful, be sure to find out the situation!"
Bayonet and Left Arrow were wearing raincoats, covered with grass disguises. With a wave of their hands, four or five special forces members followed.
Zhao Hu heard that there were two types of gunfire, one was standard Japanese, the other was 38 guns, 79 guns, and there were miscellaneous guns such as Czech and Hanyang. It was estimated that the anti-Japanese force was preparing to pass by, so he asked everyone to prepare for battle. Once the reconnaissance news was received, they would immediately go forward for support.
Not long after, Zuo Jian came back and reported: "Head, there was an army preparing to pass by, but was entangled by the Japanese. They were cavalry and lacked heavy weapons. If they were dragged down, a large number of Japanese troops would come. Are we going to take the Japanese back all of a sudden?"
"terrain."
"There are trenches dug around the stronghold, which are quite water inside, but there are no walls. There is only one gun tower and two machine gun positions that need to be attacked."
Zhao Hu looked at the weather and there were still rain falling. He couldn't help but frown: "It's raining now, and the flying thunder cannon cannot be used. Our grenade launcher is fired with medicine basins. Now we can only use light weapons to attack. It's still a trick, and sneaking in from the upstream and ambushing the river bank, but this time the bomber needs to show it!"
The strong orangutan baboon and several other bomb droppers stood attentively and said, "Make sure there is no problem!"
The left and right arrows and dogs also said seriously: "Don't worry about dropping bombs, we will provide fire cover!"
Seeing that everyone was ready, Zhao Hu waved his hand and said, "First team, second team, attack left and right, block the enemy reinforcements, third teams are with you, set off now!"
