Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Li Yan's plan is simple, just to pass off fake goods as real ones.

Let their soldiers wear the uniforms of the National Army to deceive the supply trucks

Not only can you get a chance to breathe, but you can also cheat the enemy's supplies

The key to this plan is the cooperation of the captured enemy.

The next morning, Li Yan called Gao Xuan and said, "Your task today is to stay with Zhang Dong and act as a guard."

Gao Xuan immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "What? Captain, are you confused? You want me to be a guard for Bai Gouzi, but I won't do it!"

Li Yan scolded: "Fart, keep your voice down, don't be afraid of being heard by others"

Li Yan still understands Gao Xuan's temperament

Not only Gao Xuan, but everyone else hates Bai Gouzi to the core.

Otherwise, in yesterday's battle, only 8 out of 80 people would have been captured.

Li Yan couldn't explain it clearly for a while, so he said seriously: "There is no time to explain now. Follow the orders and be polite to Zhang Dong. Do whatever he asks you to do. If you make a mistake, I will peel off your skin."

Gao Xuan was extremely dissatisfied, but it was difficult to obey the military order.

In fact, Li Yan was 80% sure that Zhang Dong would cooperate.

People like Zhang Dong are worth their word, but it is hard to say for other prisoners.

Always be on guard against others

Li Yan sent Gao Xuan to be Zhang Dong's guard, just in case, so that he could take action in time if any problem occurred.

At the same time, he also privately instructed the stonemasons to immediately open fire with machine guns if they found something wrong and never let the enemy leave alive.

Double insurance, this is also a back-up plan

These words cannot be told to Gao Xuan. With Gao Xuan's personality, if he lets slip, it will cause unnecessary trouble.

"Supply trucks are coming"

The voice came from a distance, Zhang Dong went out to greet it, Gao Xuan followed closely behind

"Squeak, hiss"

Two large trucks were parked steadily on the side of the road, raising a lot of dust behind them.

A young officer in captain's uniform got out of the first car and saw Zhang Dong standing on the roadside.

He said with a smile: "I said, Captain Zhang, why did you come out in person?"

Zhang Dong hesitated when he saw the people getting off the car.

He immediately whispered to Gao Xuan, "Someone from above is coming down to inspect today. Don't talk nonsense for a while, or you'll be caught."

Gao Xuan immediately put his hand on his belt

Zhang Dong smiled calmly and greeted him: "Haha, what a rare guest! I didn't expect Captain Liu to come here in person to inspect today. I'm sorry for not welcoming you."

Captain Liu quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, Captain Zhang, you misunderstood, you misunderstood."

"I'm not here to supervise anything. The commander saw that the brothers were working hard, so he sent me to deliver supplies."

Zhang Dong cursed his hypocrisy in his heart, but pretended to smile nonchalantly and said, "Captain Liu, you've been exhausted from the journey. You should go to the tent and rest for a while. I'll leave the rest to the people below."

"Haha, no hurry, no hurry. Although this place is remote, the scenery is beautiful. Captain Zhang, accompany me to enjoy it."

Captain Liu was talking, but he looked around and suddenly noticed Gao Xuan behind Zhang Dong. His eyes were sharp and murderous.

He immediately asked cautiously: "Captain Zhang, this brother next to you looks unusual. Why haven't I seen him before?"

Gao Xuan gripped the pistol tightly, and felt the urge to shoot.

Zhang Dong's face was calm. He patted Gao Xuan's shoulder and said, "He is my brother who has shared life and death with me. He was also my former subordinate in the 19th Army. He saved my life during the Battle of the Great Wall."

"I was injured and left behind some time ago. I've recovered now, and I heard the 19th Army has been reorganized."

"He asked around, and finally found me. This time I brought him here."

After saying this, Zhang Dong said to Gao Xuan: "Song Peng, I haven't met Captain Liu yet."

"Captain Liu is a Whampoa Military Academy graduate and a big shot in front of the division commander. Your and my future depends on Captain Liu saying a few good words in front of the division commander."

Gao Xuan was also smart. He quickly stood up straight and saluted: "Your subordinate Song Peng greets Captain Liu."

Captain Liu carefully looked Gao Xuan up and down again. Finding nothing suspicious, he nodded cautiously and asked with a smile, "Sure, sure."

"By the way, Captain Zhang, aren't there two platoons here? Why are there so few people? Where's Wai Zui?"

Zhang Dong immediately sighed and said, "Captain Liu, I'm so unlucky. I just got here and was attacked by the Red Bandits."

"A little after three in the morning, a group of Red Bandits tried to sneak through my blockade, but fortunately they were spotted by our sentry on duty."

"After struggling for half the night, the Red Bandits fled into the mountains as soon as daybreak arrived."

"I'll have Waizui lead people to search the mountain and make sure to wipe out this gang of red bandits."

Captain Liu looked at the mountain and saw that the traces of fighting were unmistakable, so he asked, "Captain Zhang, have you killed or captured any Red Bandits?"

Zhang Dong sighed again and said, "Captain Liu, you know, we just arrived yesterday and are very tired."

"Plus, the Red Bandits are good at night attacks. They took advantage of my unpreparedness and caught me off guard."

"We are not familiar with the terrain here and are afraid of taking the initiative to attack and falling into some trap set by the Red Bandits. We can only passively defend."

"Not only did I fail to kill the captured Red Bandits, I also lost my wife and my soldiers. I used up half of my weapons and ammunition, and lost several brothers."

"Captain Liu, when you return, be sure to have the logistics department send us more weapons, ammunition, and medicine."

Gao Xuan was listening to Zhang Dong's empty talk, and he didn't expect that he could ask for supplies in this way.

Biting her lips tightly, her face flushed red, afraid that she would laugh out loud

Captain Liu looked at Zhang Dong with a look of deep sorrow on his face. He knew that Zhang Dong was complaining and showing off his achievements.

As the central army, they look down on the local troops. If they can't fight well, they will just complain to the local troops and gain benefits. This is their usual trick.

But now that the 19th Route Army has just been incorporated, sometimes even the division commander has to tolerate these people for the sake of the overall situation.

Captain Liu then consoled him, saying, "I will definitely convey Captain Zhang's loyalty to the division commander."

"I'll have weapons and ammunition delivered to you in the next few days."

“I hope you will continue to work hard.”

Zhang Dong immediately stood at attention and swore, "For the great cause of the Party and the country, and for the Chairman, I will do my best."

Captain Liu felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, but he continued to ask: "Captain Zhang has already sent out the people, aren't you afraid that the Red Bandits will divert the tiger away from the mountain?"

Zhang Dong said solemnly: "Captain Liu, please rest assured."

"Judging from the gunfire last night, the Red Bandits are not numerous. I estimate that they are the ones who escaped from southern Jiangxi and slipped through the net."

"Today I even rebuilt the fortifications on purpose."

"Look at this intersection. There's a machine gun position on each of the two hillsides, and a heavy machine gun position in the middle. Even if a battalion of Red Bandits comes, they won't be able to get through my defense zone."

Of course, these were all arranged by Li Yan in advance.

Captain Liu looked at the fortifications at the intersection and could see that Zhang Dong had really put in a lot of effort.

As long as Zhang Dong can beat the Red Bandits, we don't need to care about the trivial matters.

Captain Liu then praised:

"Captain Zhang has made great contributions. Once you brothers wipe out this group of Red Bandits, the division commander will definitely reward you."

Captain Liu made a round of inspection and finally looked at the corpses and the wounded before leaving with peace of mind.
