Just when Li Yunlong was at his wits' end, Wei Dayong took Chief of Staff Zhang to the grain depot.

"Captain, Chief of Staff Zhang from our Taihang Military Region is here." Wei Dayong walked quickly to Li Yunlong and said.

Li Yunlong was slightly startled, turned around, saluted quickly, and then said with a smile: "Hey, Chief of Staff Zhang, why are you here too?"

"Old Han?" Staff Zhang said in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be here too?"

"Lao Zhang, are you here too?" Deputy Brigadier Han also had a smile on his face.

Chief of Staff Zhang used to be the Chief of Staff of the 386th Brigade. He is very familiar with Deputy Brigadier Han and Li Yunlong. They are both our own people.

Then, Chief of Staff Zhang said to Li Yunlong: "Li Yunlong, the boss sent me to order your independent regiment to immediately stop the attack on Yushe County. However, there is no need to issue this order. You have already defeated Yushe County. You

The kid's moves are so nimble, how long did it take for him to capture the county seat?"

"Did this little thing alarm the boss?" Li Yunlong was flattered and asked cautiously.

"Little things?" Chief of Staff Zhang laughed, "Invading the county town is considered a small matter. In your eyes, Li Yunlong, what is a big thing?"

Chief of Staff Zhang added: "You have broken the truth this time. A total of more than 30,000 Japanese elite troops from Taiyuan, Lucheng, Fenyang, and Yangquan came to Yushe County for reinforcements, especially in the direction of Yangquan. The fourth Japanese army

The Black Island Cavalry Regiment of the brigade has been dispatched, how dare you, Li Yunlong, say that this is a trivial matter?"

"Since you have captured Yushe County, you should quickly evacuate Yushe County with supplies."

At present, the Eighth Route Army is still at an absolute disadvantage compared to the Japanese army. Even if it captures Yushe County, it cannot defend it.

Li Yunlong only attacked the county town for food and other supplies and equipment in the city. He had to dodge people to get the equipment.

Even in the original drama, in the late stages of the Anti-Japanese War, after Li Yunlong captured Ping'an County, he voluntarily quit to preserve his strength.

"Lao Zhang, that's the problem." Deputy Brigadier Han said with a bitter smile, "There are 300,000 kilograms of grain in the grain depot here, and the independent group cannot take it away in a short time."

"Three hundred thousand catties?" Staff Zhang asked in surprise, "That much?"

"Yes, old chief of staff." Li Yunlong said, "Our independent regiment can only carry a hundred thousand kilograms of stuff at most at a time. If you can give me another twelve hours, I will definitely be able to transport all this food back to the base area."

Before attacking Yushe County, Wei Dayong and Zhao Gang calculated that it would take at least 24 hours for Japanese reinforcements to arrive.

Unexpectedly, the Japanese army dispatched cavalry, and it was an organized cavalry regiment.

Besides, who would have thought that there were 300,000 kilograms of grain in the grain depot in Yushe County. If the soldiers risked their lives to seize the grain, who could accept it if they couldn't take it away?

"Is there no other way?" Chief of Staff Zhang also frowned slightly.

"Commanders, I have an idea." At this time, Wei Dayong interrupted.

"Oh?" Deputy Brigadier Han asked, "Wei Dayong, have you come up with any good ideas?"

Li Yunlong and Chief of Staff Zhang looked at Wei Dayong at the same time.

"Give me a map of Yushe County."

Li Yunlong's guard, Xiao Zhang, took out a map from the map bucket on his back, which was the traffic topography map of Yushe County.

Now the situation is urgent. Wei Dayong said briefly: "Three hundred thousand kilograms of grain cannot be transported at once in a short time, but we can use the method of transit."

"What kind of transfer method?" Li Yunlong asked Wei Dayong with a thoughtful look on his face.

Wei Dayong said: "Tonight, we can transport all the food to a place in the mountains and store it, and then slowly transport the food back to the base area."

Except for the slightly gentle terrain around Yushe County, the terrain of Yushe County is a rocky mountainous area, surrounded by high mountains and filled with loess hills.

It borders Liao County (now Zuoquan County) and Heshun to the east, Taigu and Yuci to the north, Qi County to the west, and Wuxiang to the south.

In this kind of terrain, it is not easy to find a place to hide food.

"This is a good idea." Li Yunlong said immediately, "If it's too close, we have to choose a location further away that is suitable for transportation."

Staff Officer Zhang and Deputy Brigadier Han also nodded at the same time. At present, there is no way to organize people to move, so this is a good idea.

"Ant Valley." Chief of Staff Zhang pointed at the map and said, "I passed by here when I came here. This area is full of loess hills. There is a road that leads directly to the base area, and it is right next to the Yuliao Highway, which is very convenient for transportation."

The location Chief of Staff Zhang mentioned, Ant Ditch, is about 20 miles east of Yushe County.

Deputy Brigadier Han looked at the map, but frowned and said: "After the Japanese Black Island Cavalry Regiment arrives in Heshun, it will definitely go from Heshun to Liao County and follow the Yu-Liao Highway to support Yushe County. In this way, we will not

Is there any danger of colliding with the Black Island Cavalry Regiment?"

"Then let's transport all the grain to Antgou before the Heidao Cavalry Regiment arrives." Li Yunlong said, "I will also let the engineer company lay mines along the Yuliao Highway, which will also buy a lot of time for the grain transport troops.

"

"Okay, let's do it!" Deputy Brigadier Han nodded.

Wei Dayong said: "Horses and mules move slowly. Even for a distance of twenty miles, it takes three hours to go back and forth. It can only be transported twice, and only 200,000 kilograms of grain can be transported. What about the remaining 100,000 kilograms?"

manage?"

"I don't believe it. How can a living person be choked to death by urinating?" Li Yunlong said, "First transport 200,000 kilograms of grain out and then think of a solution."

"We have a solution!" Wei Dayong's eyes lit up, "Captain, aren't there five trucks in the grain depot? Including the two trucks we seized before, there are a total of 7 trucks. Using trucks to transport grain is comparable to horses and trucks.

The mule is much faster!”

One truck can carry 3,000 kilograms of grain, and seven trucks can transport 100,000 kilograms in one trip. It only takes five trips to transport 100,000 kilograms.

"But in our independent group, not many people can drive trucks." Li Yunlong said.

"I, Yao Shangwu, and Chen Feng account for three." Wei Dayong said, "It shouldn't be difficult to find four more."

"Then it's decided."

Li Yunlong was always vigorous and resolute in his work, so he immediately ordered the signal corps:

"Go and call Political Commissar Zhao back and order all battalions, except those who transport the wounded, to go to the arsenal to transport ammunition!"

"Let each battalion commander ask who among the soldiers can drive a truck. Those who can will be rewarded with a pound of sweet potatoes!"

"Order the engineering company to lay mines for me on the road from Antgou to Liao County. The more the better!"

Later, Li Yunlong called Sun Desheng and Director Zhang of the Logistics Department: "The Japanese reinforcements are not far away from us. You and your two people will transport the grain to Antgou and unload it on the side of the road. Then come back and transport it, and ask the soldiers to give it to me."

Go faster, time waits for no one, we have to race against time."

"Yes!" Minister Zhang and Sun Desheng said in unison.

Following Li Yunlong's orders one by one, the entire independent regiment started spinning rapidly like a machine.

Chief of Staff Zhang turned around: "Miaozi!"

"Here!" Miao Zi quickly ran to Chief of Staff Zhang and saluted.

Chief of Staff Zhang said: "Immediately send a telegram to the headquarters, saying that the independent regiment has captured Yushe County and is now evacuating with the captured materials."
Chapter completed!
