Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

The next morning, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale,

Liu Zhen could not wait to lead a group of military cadres from the 27th Brigade to climb the Zhangbei city wall.

After a tour

Liu Zhen turned to a young major beside him and asked, "Adjutant Wang! How are the fortifications outside the city being prepared?"

Hearing the question, Adjutant Wang took two quick steps forward, approaching Liu Zhen and respectfully replying, "Commander! I've carefully inspected the three fortifications outside the city walls, and they've all been completed according to your instructions."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation showing on his face.

Seeing this, Liu Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly and asked, "Is there something wrong with these fortifications?"

"Just say what you want to say"

Adjutant Wang quickly waved his hands and explained anxiously, "No, no, no, Commander, please don't misunderstand."

"It's not that the fortifications are in trouble, but rather that this construction not only took less time, but is also of superior quality. It's more than ten times stronger than any fortification built before!"

He paused, his eyes revealing an unconcealable curiosity and confusion, and then said, "Commander, you also know that I studied civil engineering in the military academy."

“So I am really curious.”

"I would like to ask the host"

"Who is that Mr. Li?"

"One of his subordinates actually has such high attainments in civil engineering."

"And also methods for building fortifications."

"If we can master this method of building fortifications..."

"In the future, the casualties of our 27th Brigade will be reduced by at least 30%!"

Before Adjutant Wang finished speaking

The head of the special forces regiment, Song Hui, also said curiously: "Yes."

"Mr. Li's subordinates are all extraordinary."

"One of them, called Lao Mao, only used a Hanyang rifle, but this time he shot and killed 36 Japanese soldiers."

"And that Guo Dali"

"Not only are the mortars accurate"

"He's also a gunpowder expert and a blasting expert."

"Just by adjusting the ratio of black powder, the explosive pack produced is as powerful as those of yellow powder."

......

"What's even more amazing is that these people said their skills were all trained by Mr. Li."

"And they also said that Mr. Li has trained many people who are more powerful than them."

"Tourist"

"We must keep Mr. Li here."

"With Him"

"It won't be long before the combat effectiveness of our 27th Brigade will be qualitatively improved."

Liu Zhen stared at Song Hui, the head of the special forces regiment beside him, and saw a look of longing on Song Hui's face.

This made his heart tremble slightly.

Song Hui has always been known for his rebelliousness, but no one expected that he would be conquered by Li Yan so quickly.

Looking back on the days spent with Li Yan, how could Liu Zhen not be full of admiration for him?

Thinking of this, he sighed softly, and then looked outside the city.

He slowly said, "Mr. Li has left."

There was a hint of melancholy in the voice.

"He has a more important and difficult mission on his shoulders, and it's beyond the capability of our small 27th Brigade to retain him!"

Liu Zhen paused for a moment, then continued, "Also, due to various reasons, Mr. Li's true identity cannot be made public at this time. However..."

At this point, Liu Zhen slightly emphasized his tone.

“I can tell you clearly”

"Mr. Li is not only a man of extraordinary wisdom and courage, but also possesses an iron sense of responsibility."

"It is no exaggeration to say that he is a role model for our generation of soldiers!"

"So, please remember this—never become an enemy of this person, no matter when or where!"

When everyone was sighing

A soldier shouted: "The devils are coming!"

......

Lianhuatan Township, 7th Independent Brigade Headquarters

Staff Officer Wan looked at Ma Shou with a puzzled look on his face and asked anxiously, "Commander! You clearly said before that you wanted to launch a surprise attack on Guyuan Town!"

“But now we are less than 15 kilometers away from Guyuan County.”

“Why is it stagnant?”

As he spoke, he pointed to the nearby destination on the map.

Ma Shou also looked confused and shook his head and replied, "I don't know what's going on either."

"Just yesterday morning"

"Captain Liu of the Pistol Battalion suddenly came to me and told me that there was an order from above, requiring us to temporarily stop and rest the team."

Having said that, he couldn't help but frown, his heart full of doubts and uneasiness.

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Wan was immediately enraged and couldn't help but curse: "What a critical moment!"

"You actually want us to stop and rest the team?"

"Is the higher-ups confused?"

"It's already difficult for us to launch a surprise attack on Guyuan Town with just our limited manpower. If the situation in Shizigou is accidentally discovered by the Japanese army..."

"Then when we go to Guyuan Town, won't we be courting death?"

He became more and more angry as he spoke, and his voice unconsciously rose an octave.

At this time, Ma Shou's face was ashen, he clenched his fists and said nothing.

He knew that if he could not act quickly according to the original plan, the mission would most likely end in failure, but facing the orders from his superiors, he really didn't know what to do.

At this moment

Captain Liu of the Pistol Battalion and Captain Song of the Heavy Mortar Company rushed into the headquarters with a group of people.

Captain Liu had a faint smile on his face and was about to explain the situation to everyone.

However, before he could utter a single word, Staff Officer Wan beside him roared in rage, "Captain Liu!"

"Warfare is not something that can be treated as a joke!"

"What do you mean by asking us to rest our troops at this time?"

Captain Liu was stunned, and his face, which was originally smiling, suddenly became gloomy.

Although Staff Officer Wan's rank is indeed higher than his own, how could Captain Liu be an ordinary person?

He is a famous brave man in the army.

Otherwise, Liu Ming would not have given him the command of such an important team as the Pistol Battalion.

Now that I am being scolded and questioned in public, how can I swallow this?

Just as Captain Liu was about to refute

Suddenly, a steady and firm voice came from behind him: "It was my idea to let the troops stop and rest."

Upon hearing this, Staff Officer Wan suddenly raised his head and discovered that behind Captain Liu there was a group of people wearing ordinary people's clothes.

Seeing this scene, the anger in Staff Officer Wan's heart burned even more fiercely.

He widened his eyes and shouted: "Who do you think you are?"

"How dare you trespass into a military stronghold with such a big tone?"

'So bold'

"guard"

"Take these people out and shoot them."

Following his order

Hula la

A group of fully armed soldiers with real guns and live ammunition broke in from outside the command center.

They quickly dispersed and surrounded Captain Liu and others, with the black muzzles of their guns aimed at the target.

Seeing this, Captain Liu did not hesitate to take out the pistol from his waist.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the headquarters was extremely tense.

Battalion Commander Song next to him said anxiously: "Brigade Commander Ma..."

"This is Mr. Li Yan"

Ma Shouxian, who had not spoken a word, was stunned.

Suddenly he shouted loudly: "Slow down!"
