Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

"Captain Lin, I have only been in the team for more than a year, and I have never experienced anything like this. At that time, we went into the mountains to hide. When the Japanese encountered heavy snow and blocked the mountains, they also found a place to camp and stop attacking. At this time, I really didn't have any ideas!"

Second platoon leader Wang Dazhu touched his head embarrassedly and told Lin Zhenhua the real situation, which made Lin Zhenhua almost roll his eyes. He had to look at third platoon leader Lu Xiaohai. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaohai also hesitated and said that he didn't know what to do.

Lin Zhenhua paced back and forth in the snow, smelling the fragrance of food in the air. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he really came up with an idea.

"Second Platoon Leader, Third Platoon Leader, Fifth Platoon Leader, Sixth Platoon Leader, all of you follow me. I will teach you how to build a defensive position in the shortest possible time!"

Lin Zhenhua led everyone to the kitchen squad, arranged for the squad leader to clear out a large pot, and directed everyone to put snow into the pot. A fire was burning at the bottom of the pot, and soon the accumulated snow melted into snow water.

"Everyone, listen to me. I just scooped a lot of snow into the snow water. Let's use the ammunition box as a mold, pour some snow into it, and then pour the snow water into it. Freeze it for two or three hours, and then take it out and use it as snow bricks to build a defensive position."

"Pour some snow water into the gaps between the snow bricks. The temperature is very low at night, and they will be frozen solid in ten minutes at most! I know you have doubts in your hearts and think that this is impossible to do. Then keep your doubts in your hearts and do as I say, unless you can come up with a better way. Leave half of the people to eat, and the other half to boil snow to melt water. We need to use one night to build three defense positions."

Under Lin Zhenhua's arrangement, everyone started to get busy again. Large ice bricks were produced, which caused bursts of admiration from the soldiers. They didn't expect that Captain Lin was not bragging. Maybe this method was really feasible.

"Captain Lin, we have made hundreds of ice bricks and have just stacked them up. The effect is really good. I just poured water on them and they are now very solid. No wonder Political Commissar Zhao often said that the power of knowledge is infinite. I didn't care about it before, but after following Captain Lin, I think what Political Commissar Zhao said makes a lot of sense!" Second Platoon Leader Wang Dazhu said excitedly.

Lin Zhenhua touched his nose and wanted to make a cool pose, but his frozen feet prevented him from doing so. The temperature in this era was really incredibly cold. In winter, temperatures of minus 10 to 20 degrees Celsius were common, which made him very uncomfortable.

Lin Zhenhua sniffed, trying hard to stop his nose from running, and said sullenly, "Second Platoon Leader, you forgot one thing. The temperature tonight is very low. If you pour the snow water in for a little more than ten minutes, the ice brick will be completely formed. Otherwise, it will take two or three hours to freeze an ice brick. My trick doesn't work!"

"This incident just reminded me that I must consider the situation of fighting in the snow and develop corresponding equipment in the future. If we had a camouflage department before, we could just lie down in the snow, and the Japanese planes might not find us even if they passed by. If we hide well, the Japanese might step over us and they won't find us. This is an area that needs improvement!"

"I was a little unsure before, but now that I see how easy it is to make ice bricks, tell everyone to hurry up and set up our machine guns. If the Japanese dare to come, beat them hard!"

The Ono Squadron, which was marching at night, had no idea that Lin Zhenhua had already been waiting in front of them and had even built a circular defensive fortification.

Taro Ono took a sip of water from the canteen at his waist and said to Kojiro Hirata beside him, "Hirata-kun, we are only three hours away from the Eighth Route Army headquarters. If we move faster, we can catch up with them before dawn. Your previous decision was right. Fortunately, we didn't continue to dawdle, otherwise we might have lost their trail."

Hirata Kojiro took a breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied: "Ono-kun, if we climb over the hill ahead, we should be able to catch up with the enemy. Let the warriors prepare in advance and make sure to capture their leader as soon as possible."

Taro Ono felt that Hirata Kojiro's idea was a bit too naive, and advised him to calm down: "Hirata-kun, the more it is now, the more we should not be impatient. The soldiers have been traveling for a day and a night, and are now very tired. I plan to let the soldiers rest for an hour, recover their strength, replenish their food, and then launch the final charge!"

Kojiro Hirata did not object. He also felt that he was a little impatient just now and it would be better to slow down at this time.

So the two teams, which were 500 meters apart, stopped. Two hours later, they would face a life-and-death battle.

Zhaojiazhuang, Zhaojiayu, the headquarters of the independent regiment.

Political Commissar Zhao Gang took the lead in breaking through the three blockade lines of the Japanese and set up the regiment headquarters in Zhaojiayu, waiting for the return of various troops.

"Deputy Captain Xing, how is the return of each unit? Is there any news about the captain and classmate Lin?"

Xing Zhiguo put down the sweet potato in his hand and replied worriedly: "Political Commissar Zhao, half of the companies below have returned to the base, and the rest are also in the process of returning! But there has been no news from the regiment commander, and there has been no news from classmate Lin. I don't know if they have passed the third blockade line. Will there be any accidents in the middle?"

"Deputy Captain Xing, I think Captain Li and Student Lin should be fine. Their firepower is only slightly weaker than ours. It shouldn't be a problem for them to break through the three blockades of the Japanese. They must have encountered other situations on the way and were delayed. Let's wait a few more days to see if there is any news. If not, we will send people to look for them!" Zhao Gang said firmly. He absolutely did not believe that anything would happen to the two of them. When these two people get together, they are smarter than monkeys.

Deputy Regiment Commander Xing also nodded in agreement and talked about the situation of the troops: "Political Commissar Zhao, our independent regiment suffered heavy losses this time. In order to cover the retreat of the villagers, we had to fight a positional battle with the Japanese. According to my statistics, half of the troops who have returned to the army have suffered casualties."

Hearing the casualty figures, Zhao Gang was a little bit unbelievable, but he knew that Xing Zhiguo would never lie about this matter. He took out the penicillin that Lin Zhenhua gave him, handed it to Xing Zhiguo, and asked him, "Deputy Commander Xing, this is what Lin left for me. It can save my life at a critical moment! This is the magic medicine penicillin he produced. It has a miraculous effect in preventing wound infection. I must use it at a critical moment. Now I give it to you. Send it to the field hospital of the division headquarters immediately and use it to treat the seriously injured. It will not be in vain for Lin's painstaking efforts!"
