Chapter 141 This is just bullshit, saying that college students are Japanese spies! 3-word chapter
The Japanese bombing arrived on time the next day, carrying out poison gas and bomb air strikes on important targets in the independent regiment's base, destroying many buildings. Despite strict anti-gas preparations, more than 200 people were killed and injured in the base, but the three men were powerless to do anything about it.
The Japanese bombing lasted for three days. Although the base established by the independent regiment did not become a no-man's land, it had a huge impact on the lives of the residents in the base. In particular, some food was no longer edible after being attacked by poison gas. The independent regiment had to use part of the food it had previously stored to supply the people. This made the independent regiment's food reserves begin to be stretched. According to the current situation, it can only last for a month at most.
The severity of the situation was beyond the expectations of Li Yunlong and the other two, and they began to scratch their heads and think of countermeasures.
Li Yunlong slammed the tortoise box on his waist on the table and cursed angrily: "Damn it, the damn Japanese devils are going to keep bombing us. The bombing has lasted for three days and has caused thousands of casualties to the residents of our base. This is under the condition of preparation. If not, the casualty figure would be at least two or three times higher!"
"College student, hurry up and say something. If we don't respond, our independent regiment will really become a coward. Even if I die, I want to die on the front line fighting the Japanese. I can't be a coward and be killed by the Japanese in the base. I can't afford to lose face!"
Lin Zhenhua understood Li Yunlong's frustration. As the equipment in the arsenal was destroyed, the base no longer had the ability to produce bullets and could only rely on the ammunition previously produced and stored for fighting. If used for large-scale air defense, 30% of the ammunition would be consumed in one or two hours. The key was that it might not be able to shoot down a single Japanese fighter plane, and the base's own casualties would not be small by then.
Lin Zhenhua pointed to the frontline on the map and said, "Old Li, it's already this time, I have nothing to hide. If we want to solve the current dilemma, we have to attack the Xiaozhang Village stronghold! We now have two tanks and six armored vehicles. As long as we use them properly, coupled with the cooperation of rocket launchers, we can completely defeat the Yoshino Regiment head-on!"
"As long as we defeat the Yoshino Regiment, the Japanese's siege of our independent regiment will come to an end. The new second and first regiments are coming to us. Once our three regiments are combined, the Japanese will have to deploy a brigade to break our defense!"
"Don't underestimate the fact that the Japanese have sent out a brigade and a regiment to attack our independent regiment. They took advantage of the opportunity when the Eighth Route Army's troops were divided into smaller units. The headquarters must have reacted by now, and they may be thinking of sending troops to reinforce us. As long as we defeat the Yoshino Regiment head-on, the 33rd Brigade will retreat immediately, and then the crisis of our independent regiment will be resolved!"
Lin Zhenhua knew that he was only a mediocre military expert, so he stumbled over his guess and Li Yunlong's eyes brightened. He was a little confused before, and the delay in the arrival of reinforcements from Ding Wei and Kong Jie made Li Yunlong feel like he was fighting alone. After Lin Zhenhua's analysis, things immediately became clear.
Li Yunlong stared at Lin Zhenhua closely, motioning him to continue. Lin Zhenhua did not hesitate and began to guess the cabinet's next move.
"Lao Li, Lao Zhao, the Japs' fuel is very precious. Coupled with the Western fuel embargo, the Japs have had a very difficult time these days. It is impossible for them to use precious fuel and bombs on us. After all, we are just a regimental combat unit. If it weren't for the fact that the Japs suspected that we had become a Zero fighter, they would never have put so much effort into us. Even though we have killed so many Japs before and have a good reputation with the Japs, we are like ants on the ground to the Japs' headquarters. As long as they want, they can wipe us out at any time. It's just a matter of how much they have to pay!"
"I'm not being self-deprecating. We basically don't have any industry in our country. We have to rely on imports for a large amount of guns and ammunition. We don't have the ability to produce weapons independently."
"The little bit of industrial seedlings that our independent regiment had built up with great difficulty were extinguished by the Japanese bombs. This shows that it is really not easy to build industry. Without a safe and stable environment, no matter how many times we rebuild the arsenal, it will be difficult to achieve great results!"
"Since we have come to this point today, I will just make it clear all at once. We must now find a way to purchase a batch of machine tools and recruit a large number of skilled workers. I plan to trade the technology I have with the Third Reich. Of course, we can also trade with people from other countries. As long as they can provide us with guns, ammunition and machine tools, I am willing to pay any price and sell as much technology as possible!"
"If we had our own tanks and planes, we wouldn't have to hide in air-raid shelters and let the Japanese wantonly bomb our base. This time, the Japanese bombing woke me up. The Japanese used poison gas on the people in a cruel way, which shows that they don't have any humanity at all. It's impossible to reason with them. Only when we become strong ourselves, will the Japanese be willing to sit down and listen to us!"
Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang did not expect that this bombing operation would have such a great impact on Lin Zhenhua. Before, Lin Zhenhua had always denied that he was engaged in military industry, but now he would openly say that he mastered a lot of military technology.
Just as Lin Zhenhua was about to continue speaking, Zhao Gang suddenly interrupted him and said, "College student, at this point, I don't intend to keep it a secret from you anymore. If I continue to keep it a secret from you, I will really become a villain! I, Zhao Gang, have always been upright in my actions and would never do such a villainous thing!"
Li Yunlong didn't expect Zhao Gang to bring up this matter suddenly. Could it be that there was a new situation that he didn't know about? He looked at Zhao Gang with sharp eyes and listened carefully to his subsequent explanation.
Zhao Gang's words also aroused Lin Zhenhua's interest. Could it be that Zhao Gang and the other two had been hiding something from him before? This aroused Lin Zhenhua's curiosity and he waited for Zhao Gang's explanation.
Zhao Gang took out an envelope and handed it to Lin Zhenhua. After reading it, Lin Zhenhua was very shocked. Li Yunlong quickly snatched it from Lin Zhenhua, took a closer look, and cursed: "This is nonsense, saying that the identity of the college student is fake and that he is a high-level spy planted by the Japanese here, and also said that it has been confirmed by our intelligence personnel. This is not nonsense, is it?"
"A wanted poster for the college student is hanging in Ping'an County, and the Japanese are offering a reward of 20 yuan, which is more valuable than my head, Li Yunlong. Even the brigade commander's head is not there, and his head is valuable. Now they are saying that he is a spy for the Japanese. This is simply a huge joke!"
"Old Zhao, this intelligence officer must have defected to the Japanese, otherwise he would never have passed on such information! I'll send a telegram to the brigade commander in a moment!"
As soon as he mentioned the word "sending a telegram", Li Yunlong slapped his forehead. He forgot that the two telegraph machines were broken. He sat on the kang beside him angrily and threw the envelope directly into the fire, cursing: "This information is fake. The devils deliberately confused us. I'm going to burn it now!"
This time, Zhao Gang did not stop Li Yunlong's actions. What he said next startled Li Yunlong so much that he sat up from the kang.
"Lao Li, college student, there is a military expert named Lin Zhenhua who left the base a few days ago and went to the headquarters. He was treated for his injuries in our independent regiment before. After his injuries healed, he stayed for three days and then left. There was a special team escorting him. I checked their certificates and found no problems!"
Lin Zhenhua didn't know what to say at this moment. Even if he explained now, it wouldn't have much effect. However, what he could be sure of was that the original owner he traveled to was definitely not a Japanese spy. On the contrary, he was a passionate patriotic young man, otherwise he would not have returned from studying abroad just to fight the Japanese.
Lin Zhenhua thought about what happened. He couldn't figure out if there were two Lin Zhenhuas in the world. Besides, it was possible to have the same name in this era. He tried to calm his tone and said calmly, "Lao Zhao, Lao Li, there is no need to worry too much about this matter. As the saying goes, a journey tests a horse's strength, and time reveals a person's heart. We have been together for almost a year, and we know each other's temper very well. You should also know what kind of person I am. Besides, there are many people with the same name in the world. What if the intelligence officer made a mistake? It is also possible. There is no need to worry about it!"
Li Yunlong slammed the table heavily and began to pace in the command center. Previously, he and Zhao Gang discussed giving Lin Zhenhua the code name "College Student". Now it seems that he must prove to Lin Zhenhua that since Lin Zhenhua has made outstanding contributions in military industry, he will be the military industry expert of the independent regiment in the future. In the future, he can be directly called a military industry expert. This can confuse the Japanese on the one hand, and on the other hand, it will make the attitude clear to the headquarters.
Li Yunlong directly expressed his thoughts. Lin Zhenhua was stunned after hearing it. He felt that he changed his name too quickly. If he continued like this, no one would know his real name. This was completely a waste of time.
Zhao Gang nodded in agreement and said, "From now on, we will call Lin Zhenhua a military expert. We can call him Lin Jungong or Lin Expert. Changing the name back and forth like this will definitely confuse the Japanese. Even if it doesn't confuse the Japanese, it will make them spend more energy investigating the matter. As long as we can cause trouble for the Japanese, we should do more of it, so that the Japanese don't have nothing to do and always stare at our independent regiment. Our independent regiment is not easy to bully!"
