Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 436 I, Li Yunlong, keep my word and will never set a trap for you! The peanuts in the field

Li Yunlong had the same feeling about Xiao Zhongyuan. Under the terrain advantage of the Japanese, the troops only took 20 minutes to gain a decisive advantage, which was much faster than the attack on Ping'an County. This also made Li Yunlong feel more urgent. From this battle, he found that there were still many problems in the coordination of the various troops, which must be improved after returning.

"Captain Li, let's hurry into the town. The Japanese have stored a large amount of military supplies in the town, so we have to hurry and move them. After we move the food and artillery shells, we have to set out immediately to attack the Japanese's gold mine. We have to move quickly and must not let the Japanese discover our next intention, otherwise we may really fall into their trap." Guo Wencheng urged anxiously.

Li Yunlong waved his hand and said, "Everyone, follow me into the town and prepare to move food and artillery shells. Also, send a telegram immediately to urge the regiment headquarters to send a transport plane immediately to transport the captured materials back to the base."

At the same time, Shen Quan sent an emergency call, which aroused Li Yunlong's curiosity. He took the intercom handed over by Xiao Zhongyuan and asked curiously: "Shen Quan, isn't the army's attack going very smoothly? I'm rushing to Ningyuan Town. You are contacting me at this time. What's the matter?"

Shen Quan's voice rang out from the call recorder: "Captain, please come and take a look. There is no large amount of military supplies stored in the town. Instead, a lot of gold has been discovered. Our previous intelligence was wrong. It is very likely that we accidentally struck a gold mine occupied by the devils."

Li Yunlong couldn't believe his ears. He suspected that he might have heard wrongly, and asked in disbelief: "Shen Quan, are you kidding me? Could it be that we didn't attack the enemy's secret material warehouse, but the gold mine occupied by the enemy? That would be a big deal, proving that our previous intelligence was wrong. There must not be only one regiment of enemy soldiers stationed nearby. I have run into the enemy's lair!"

Shen Quan's firm voice came from the intercom: "Captain, I really didn't lie to you. You'll know if you come and see! We found nearly one million kilograms of food in Ningyuan Town, but very little ammunition, only enough for a battalion at most. We also found a lot of grain, estimated to be several hundred thousand kilograms. All the food added up to a full 150 million kilograms. I, Shen Quan, really didn't lie. I just seized hundreds of large yellow croakers, and even so, we haven't cleared them all. After the spoils are collected, I estimate that we can get at least three or four hundred large yellow croakers."

Li Yunlong did not continue talking to Shen Quan, and directly hung up the communication between the two parties. He ordered anxiously: "Drive faster, drive faster, and you must get to Ningyuan Town within ten minutes. I want to see with my own eyes whether what Shen Quan said is true."

Guo Wencheng, who had just heard the news, was also very shocked. He did not expect that the news he had heard before was actually false. Ningyuan Town was not a secret material warehouse of the devils at all, but a secret gold mine of the devils. With doubts and a little shock in his heart, Guo Wencheng immediately got on the armored vehicle and followed Li Yunlong to Ningyuan Town.

Eight minutes later, the group arrived at Ningyuan Town. The elimination of the remaining Japanese enemies had not yet been completed, and the Eighth Battalion immediately engaged in the battle upon receiving the order. Li Yunlong, under the protection of the guard company, met Shen Quan in the northwest of the town.

"Captain, this is the Japanese granary, which contains 62 catties of wheat, 30 catties of millet, and 36 catties of rice. In the northeast corner of the town, there is another huge granary, which stores 22 catties of sweet potatoes, catties of potatoes, more than catties of soybeans, more than catties of mung beans, and more than catties of black beans. This is the grain list I got from the granary. Even if there are some discrepancies, they should not be too big."

"As for ammunition, we only found a small arsenal of the devils, which did not contain a battalion's worth of combat supplies. According to the above material list, there were a total of 628 Type 391 rifles, 20 Hanyang rifles, more than 80 rounds of bullets, six Type 12 infantry guns, 16 300mm mortars, grenade launchers, more than rounds of various artillery shells, six Type light machine guns, and two Type heavy machine guns."

"It is very different from what we expected. It can be confirmed that Ningyuan Town is definitely not the location of the devil's secret warehouse. After my simple inquiry just now, I found that Ningyuan Town has an iron mine and a gold and silver mine in addition to the coal mine. In order to ensure that there are no problems with the mining of the gold and silver mines, the devils specially created a layer of disguise. Few people know about this. If I hadn't caught two of the managers, I really might not be able to investigate the matter, and I might have been fooled directly."

After listening to Shen Quan's report, Li Yunlong realized that this might really be a mistake. They had mistaken the enemy's gold mine for a secret warehouse and had never expected to succeed in taking it down. He immediately made arrangements and said, "Shen Quan, you will immediately lead your men to wipe out the remaining enemies. I'll give you half an hour. Ningyuan Town must be completely in our hands before 8:30."

"Monk, you must immediately lead people to search for the gold bars hidden by the devils in Ningyuan Town. Collect them bit by bit for me. Find all the gold bars for me."

"Duan Peng, take people to rescue the miners immediately, gather them all for me, and ask about the location of the gold mine."

"Guo Wencheng, you helped me a lot this time. I am not a person who breaks his promise. I will give you 10% of the seized gold bars. Don't think that this amount is small. According to our previous agreement, the seizure of the entire Ningjia Town has nothing to do with you. If you hadn't provided the information, I really wouldn't know about Ningyuan Town. You can take this 10% without worry. Li Yunlong is a man of his words and will never set you up!"

"Xiao Zhongyuan, send a telegram to the college students immediately and ask them to send the transport plane over. We have seized more than 100 million kilograms of grain. It is impossible to transport it all in two days. It will take at least three days. Ask the college students to hurry up. The transport plane must arrive in Pingyuan Town before 12 noon."

"Zhang Yuanshan, you must immediately take your men to urgently level a large area of ​​open space for our transport plane to take off and land. Act quickly and it must be completed before 11 noon."

Under Li Yunlong's command, everyone immediately got busy. After an hour of careful clearing, the entire Ningyuan Town fell into the hands of the independent regiment. At this time, Li Yunlong also received intelligence from fighter reconnaissance that there was a Japanese regiment stationed in the southwest and northwest of Ningyuan Town, with a total of 8000 people.

"Shen Quan, you must immediately take the Second Armored Battalion and the First Infantry Battalion and rush to Sandagou to set up an ambush. You must stop the Japanese reinforcements. As for the Japanese in the northwest, the Third and Fourth Battalions can definitely stop them. I have already asked the college students for help. Fighters and bombers will arrive soon to help us hold our positions and stop the Japanese reinforcements!"

Zhaojiayuyu is the location of the independent regiment’s headquarters.

"College student, this is an urgent telegram just sent by Chu Yunfei from the 358th Regiment, asking why our transport aircraft formation has not arrived yet? I have just replied to Chu Yunfei, saying that the transport aircraft need to undergo a large-scale overhaul, and the air transport line will be restored in two or three days. I have fooled Chu Yunfei for the time being!" Zhao Gang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said a little depressed.

Lin Zhenhua took the telegram and read it, then laughed and said, "Old Zhao, you are too honest. Our relationship with Chu Yunfei is just average, so there is no need to take it too seriously. We helped Chu Yunfei so much before, but when we really need his help, Chu Yunfei may not help us."

"Take a look at this telegram in my hand. This is what Lao Li just sent. They seized a large amount of food and gold and silver in Ningyuan Town. After learning more about it, we found out that there is a huge gold mine in Ningyuan Town. After the destructive mining by the devils, more than 20 gold bars can be produced every month. If converted into ocean dollars, it is , which is indeed not a small amount."

"According to Lao Li, they have found nearly 2000 gold bars. This should be the production capacity of the Japanese for three months. We are really lucky this time and have made a fortune!"

"This gold bar alone is worth 60 yuan. If we add the seized silver ingots and the more than 100 million kilograms of grain, we will not suffer any loss in attacking Ningyuan Town. Ningyuan Town has been tightly guarded by the Japanese before. If Guo Wencheng had not pointed the wrong way by accident, we might not have been able to discover the secret. Lao Li decided to give Guo Wencheng a portion of it. After all, the next gold mine still needs Guo Wencheng's guidance. We can't be too stingy at this time."

"I have sent out reinforcements according to Lao Li's suggestion. I have sent out two squadrons of bombers and one squadron of fighters, which can fully guarantee the safety of the airspace of Ningyuan Town. When the transport plane goes, I plan to airlift another battalion of soldiers to Lao Li to strengthen the defense of Ningyuan Town. It will take at least three days for us to control Ningyuan Town. Lao Li is under a lot of pressure. Once the Japanese know that the gold mine has been taken away by us, they will never give up and will definitely gather a large number of troops to fight us."

Zhao Gang nodded in agreement and said, "What the college student said is very true. All transport aircraft formations have been mobilized and are urgently loading fuel. It is expected that the loading will be completed in another hour and a half. We will now order the already loaded transport aircraft to take off in advance and airlift a battalion of soldiers to Lao Li. This way, we will not have to make empty trips back and forth and will use the transport capacity to the maximum. In the next few days, we will not do anything else but transport back the supplies and gold and silver seized by Lao Li first, and other matters will be discussed later!"
