Bright Sword: Follow Kong's fun and build the strongest military industry

After Li Yunlong finished speaking, Chu Yunfei added:

"The Second War Zone Headquarters sent a telegram saying that a brigade of the Japanese troops had left the front line. Although our Shanxi-Suiyuan Army tried to stop them in many ways, they finally slipped away."

"We are expected to arrive near You County in about four days. The headquarters has ordered us to evacuate at an appropriate time. How is the transportation of supplies in the city going now?"

Li Yunlong was a little embarrassed about this issue. There were too many good things in You County. Not only were the supplies in the Japanese army's warehouses piled up like mountains, but there were also a large number of Japanese and puppet army's supply warehouses in the city, which were filled with rare good things.

For example, some textile factories opened by Japanese businessmen contained machinery and equipment exactly what the Eighth Route Army needed, but it took time to dismantle them, and what the independent regiment lacked most now was time.

There are also two garment factories in You County, which have hundreds of sewing machines. They are specially used to produce various military supplies for the Japanese army nearby. These are also good things. They can be used directly after being transported back, and are also listed as priority transportation materials.

Our Political Commissar Zhao has been exhausted these past two days. As the person in charge of material transportation, he has been thinking all the time about how to transport materials so that the Eighth Route Army can gain the greatest benefits in this battle.

During the day, there are often transport teams coming from other places, with varying numbers of people and a variety of means of transportation. This requires detailed allocation in order to transport more supplies.

Large transport teams carried some important supplies, such as weapons and ammunition, directly to the base;

The small transport teams transported daily necessities, such as food, salt, oil and other miscellaneous items from the Japanese trading companies. They were usually transported to nearby villages or mountains for storage, and then transported back to the base when the time was right.

The final step for these hidden materials is to find some reliable people to be responsible for them, to prevent them from being accidentally leaked out due to too many people talking, which in turn tests organizational skills.

According to Political Commissar Zhao's calculations, it would take at least seven days to transport all the supplies, but the Japanese would not give the independent regiment so much time.

Li Yunlong smiled bitterly and said, "There are too many supplies here. How can we transport them all in a short time? We can only transport as much as we can before evacuating."

"Since the Japanese will arrive in four days, we will set the total evacuation time as three days later. The Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army can evacuate first the day after tomorrow morning. You can evacuate directly to Hexian, or go to Hexian after passing through our base."

"But I suggest you take the second route, which is safer. In addition, each regiment has fifty large trucks of supplies ready. According to our previous agreement, five of them are compressed biscuits and canned meat, and the remaining forty-five are various ammunition."

"Let us use the truck for another day. When you leave, you can take it with the team. This way, we won't be delayed."

Hearing what Li Yunlong said, the two team leaders hurriedly thanked him. This time the harvest had far exceeded their expectations.

It can be described this way: even if their most exaggerated imaginations of victory were multiplied by ten, they would barely reach the current level.

It can also be said that with their military achievements this time, the two will definitely be able to rise rapidly in their respective troops and be promoted in a very short time.

At the same time, the two troops will also be a banner of the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army, and will be the ace of aces in the future. Both troops and supplies will be replenished by the superiors as soon as possible.

I won’t talk about all these. The most important thing is that the two regiments made a lot of money because of these battles, 1.2 million silver dollars, a full set of Japanese equipment, a company of artillery, and at least 500,000 rounds of bullets. If this had happened before, it would have been unimaginable.

Although these things have to be handed in after they return, they can greatly alleviate the difficulties of the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army, especially the Sichuan Army. At least it can allow everyone to have a few full meals and change into some new uniforms.

Moreover, Li Yunlong also promised that a portion of the seized cloth would be allocated to the Sichuan Army to make new uniforms.

"The 358th Regiment can also evacuate the day after tomorrow afternoon. Our independent regiment will wait until most of the people in the county have evacuated, and then we will burn the undelivered supplies the day after tomorrow."

"In a word, we cannot leave a single grain of food or bullet for the Japanese. Otherwise, the tens of thousands of Japanese field troops on the front line will be forced to withdraw from the battle due to lack of food and bullets, and this battle will come to an end."

Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with Li Yunlong's arrangement. After all, it is rare in the national army to let the friendly forces retreat first and stay behind to cover the rear.

However, Chu Yunfei had his own ideas. He said seriously:

"Brother Yunlong, I have no objection to letting Brother Qin and Brother Long evacuate early, but I think the 358th Regiment does not need to be so anxious. Since the Japanese will not arrive for another four days, I will accompany them to the end."

"My 358th Regiment has more than people, and there is no rush to leave. Staying in You County will also help the independent regiment."

At this time, he saw that Captain Long and Captain Qin wanted to speak, so he continued:

"Brother Long, Brother Qin, the two of you should stop fighting for me. The situations of your two regiments are special, so it's better for you to go back early. Your respective superiors have already sent telegrams to urge you to go back. After all, some things can only make the superiors feel at ease when they are truly in your pocket."

His words were a double entendre. After all, the longer they stayed in You County, the greater the benefit would be to the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army and the Eighth Route Army. However, the superiors of the other two regiments did not think so. The most important thing now was to allow the two troops to return to their bases.

In the end, Captain Long and Captain Qin no longer insisted. They knew their own business and they had no control over many things.

However, through this incident, Li Yunlong finally accepted Chu Yunfei from the bottom of his heart. He is indeed a real man with feelings and righteousness.

Next, things became simple. After the Sichuan Army and the Shaanxi Army evacuated, Li Yunlong sent Shen Quan to take over the defensive fortifications of the two regiments, and sent out both cavalry companies to provide long-distance early warning to prevent the sudden appearance of the Japanese and catch them off guard.

And on this day, Yoshio Shinozuka finally mobilized bombers from other places to carry out indiscriminate bombing on You County, but now it has no effect.

All the materials that needed to be transported within the city were scattered everywhere. Only those things that were bulky, difficult to transport and of low value were concentrated in warehouses, disguised as important materials, and destroyed with the help of the Japanese.

That night, all the supplies that could not be taken away were doused with gasoline and burned all night long. The flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire county.
