Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

"How is the situation now?"

Leopard replied excitedly: "Report to the instructor, Wan'an Town has been taken down."

Li Yan nodded. No gunshots were heard, indicating that the operation was completed well.

"How are the casualties?"

"No one in our army died, only three soldiers were slightly injured. It was dark, so we couldn't see who was hurt."

"Very good, tell me about the results of the battle."

"This time we killed 76 people, captured 145 people, and captured a Kuomintang company commander. No one escaped. We seized a mortar, two heavy machine guns, 12 light machine guns, 130 rifles, and countless ammunition. In addition, we found an armory and three granaries. We haven't yet made a specific count."

"You mean we found an arsenal and three granaries?" Li Yan asked doubtfully.

"Yes, instructor."

"Little beggar, go interrogate the company commander and ask him why Wan'an Town has so many supplies stored."

"Also, send someone to the base to notify Platoon Leader Gao to bring his men over. They're already at the base. Also, have Platoon Leader Zhang Dong come over as well."

Taking over Wan'an Town was such a good thing, but Li Yan actually treated it as a formidable enemy.

Leopard looked at Li Yan's expression and asked in confusion, "Instructor, what's wrong?"

"The enemy has already set their sights on us. Wan'an Town is usually not important, but now the enemy has stored so many supplies here. They must be using Wan'an Town as a bridgehead to encircle and suppress us."

The Taoist priest analyzed: "This is the territory of the 83rd Division. The 83rd is responsible for the area from Yong'an to Zhangping. With such a long defense line, how many enemies can they defeat even if they attack?"

"Don't underestimate the enemy. Although this is the territory of the 83rd Division, don't look south to see the enemy's headquarters, Longyan."

"That's where the enemy's third division is stationed."

"The enemy has been quiet lately, and I thought something was wrong. Now it seems they have a big plan."

The little beggar came running over breathlessly

"Instructor, I've already asked."

"The company commander said that this time the enemy's 83rd Division will come out of the cave and encircle and suppress us with the 497th Regiment."

"We also discovered an enemy storage warehouse with a large amount of military supplies, and our people are still in the process of inventorying it."

Li Yan frowned and said, "It seems that the enemy has made great efforts this time and is ready to wipe us out in one go."

“How long will it take for the enemy to arrive?”

The little beggar replied: "Seven days at most"

"Taoist, send someone to quickly pass the news here to the old squad leader, so that our people can prepare in advance and also let Platoon Leader Zhao Wu come back."

After Li Yan gave the little beggar his instructions, he turned around and suggested, "Little beggar, take me to see what's stored in the warehouse."

Under the guidance of the little beggar, Li Yan, the leopard Taoist priest, quickly arrived at the warehouse.

"Coach, Dragon Blood Rookie No. 6 reports to you."

"Have you figured out the warehouse statistics?"

"Report, the ammunition depot contains four 82mm mortars, five heavy machine guns, 20 light machine guns, 20 machine guns, 500 rifles, 50 pistols, 200 mortar shells, 160 boxes of various ammunition, and enough helmets, canteens, etc. to equip two regiments. There are too many food depots, and three of them have not been opened yet."

"Oh, instructor, there are two more rifles. We don't recognize them. They are brand new and wrapped in butter. There are two barrels inside, and one of the barrels has a scope."

Li Yan's expression suddenly changed: "Quick, bring it over, forget it, take me there"

When Li Yan saw the rifle in front of him, he stroked the gun like a lover.

"Haha, good stuff, good stuff"

.

"Leopard, do you know what this is?"

"Let me tell you, this is a 98K, a sniper rifle. With it, you can hit an enemy 400 meters away. It's a magical weapon."

"Leopard Taoist, notify all members of the Dragon Blood Squad. Once Platoon Leader Gao arrives, the Dragon Blood Squad will immediately change weapons."

"Dragon Blood Squad, reassign"

"Establish a sniper team with two members, Leopard as the team leader, one observer, and two 98K rifles."

"Fire support team, team leader: Fisherman, 5 members, weapons: 1 light machine gun, 2 submachine guns."

"Artillery team of 5, team leader Guo Dali, carrying 1 82MM mortar and 10 rounds of ammunition"

"A reconnaissance and communications team of four, with the little beggar as the team leader"

"Leader of the assault team and medical team, Taoist priest, 8 members"

"In addition, each person carries two pistols, two grenades, and a dagger. The reconnaissance team and the assault team each carry a rifle."
