Chapter 268: Boosting Morale

After the commander of the fifth company returned, Li Weimin arranged for them to have a good rest, and did not ask them about the results of this raid on the little devils, let alone let the curious soldiers bother them. In fact, for the battle situation last night, Li Weimin has already guessed that their purpose is the arms of the little devils, if the arms of a wing of the Japanese army explodes, not to mention Li Weimin, who is only four miles away, the shock and fire generated by the explosion can be seen clearly even twenty miles away.

After arranging more than 30 wounded people, Li Weimin immediately returned to his underground command room. Since Li Weimin came in, Liu Chundao has been looking at Li Weimin, and then in the faint light, Liu Chundao saw the expression on Li Weimin's face clearly, and Liu Chundao was very interested and did not ask how the battle would be.

"Did the soldiers suffer heavy casualties?" Liu Chundao chose a comfortable position, leaned against the wall, and looked at Li Weimin seriously.

Li Weimin didn't seem to hear Liu Chundao talking to him, picked up the military kettle on the table and took two sips of water, and then lay down on the makeshift bed, looking up at the rock above his head.

"Thirty-two people returned, all with wounds." Li Weimin's tone of voice was very flat.

Although Liu Chundao did not leave half a step, his judgment was the same as Li Weimin's, if the little devil's arms exploded, the rock debris above his head would have been shaken down, so Liu Chundao also concluded the result of tonight's raid.

Liu Chundao did not open his mouth to comfort Li Weimin, Li Weimin also came out of the sea of blood in the mountain of corpses, a battle-hardened regiment commander will definitely not be at a loss or overly sad because of the death of dozens of people, since ancient times, for generals have crawled out of the pile of corpses, but as long as you are not an immortal, you will inevitably feel sad or guilty for the fallen soldiers around you.

"Sixty-eight lives should have been sacrificed in vain for my order." Li Weimin felt that it was too worthless for these sixty-eight people to die like this, that they had not achieved the intended purpose of the battle, and that if they were placed on the position, they might have played a greater role.

"Even Brother Fan shouldn't be able to find the little devil's arms, after all, we have got too little information, although the five company commanders are familiar with the surrounding terrain, but the officers under our command have lost almost the same last time, and the fifth company commander is one of the more experienced among these company commanders." Liu Chundao also lamented the lack of suitable officers around him, and if there was a company commander who had led the team for more than two years, it was estimated that even if the mission did not achieve the intended combat objectives, more brothers might be brought back.

"Yes, this lesson has been written down first, and when the little devils are repelled this time, we must train the officers at the grassroots level, even if they are squad leaders, I will train them according to the requirements of the company commander." Li Weimin knew that the fundamental reason for such a big loss this time was that the combat quality of the soldiers under his command could not reach the level at the beginning, which was too far from the troops brought out by Liao Fan.

The underground fortifications were quiet again, I don't know why, Li Weimin slept very well this time, and even the entire army seemed to be resting well, and it was already eight o'clock when Li Weimin woke up.

Li Weimin sat up from the bed, moved his sore body, looked at his watch, and realized that it was already dawn, but why the little devil hadn't attacked yet, which made Li Weimin a little confused.

"Captain Li, are you awake?" Liu Chundao limped into the underground command room and saw Li Weimin sitting on the bed stunned.

"Why didn't the little devil attack today?" Li Weimin looked at Liu Chundao, Liu Chundao obviously had just returned from inspecting the position, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his head.

"I also wondered, I just saw that you were sleeping soundly, so I didn't bother you, and then I went to the position for a turn, all directions were normal, and the little devil didn't attack at all." Liu Chundao's injuries have not fully recovered, and he has just inspected such a long line of defense to make him feel physically exhausted, and after finishing speaking, he sat down where he had been sitting for the past few days.

Li Weimin's mind hasn't turned around for a while, it's too abnormal that the little devil didn't attack in the morning, it stands to reason that the little devil's ammunition has been delivered last night, and according to their judgment, the little devil's ammunition must not have been blown up, so the little devil didn't attack this morning, something must have gone wrong.

Li Wei** thought of what happened last night: "Orderly, go and call the commander of the fifth company." ”

There must be a demon when something happens, the little devil did not attack, Li Weimin did not feel nervous, in the underground fortifications, because of the stuffiness, Li Weimin's nose also had a layer of fine sweat.

"Commander, are you looking for me?" When the commander of the fifth company heard that Li Weimin was looking for him, he hurriedly trotted all the way to the command headquarters, and he knew that Li Weimin might be asking about yesterday's battle situation.

"Last night's incident, you tell me in detail about your battle last night." Li Weimin first beckoned the commander of the fifth company to sit opposite him, and then asked.

The commander of the fifth company was originally a rough man, and in the face of the commander's questioning, he couldn't say the point for a while, so he simply told Li Weimin from beginning to end about how to reconnoiter with the soldiers last night, to fighting with the little devils, and then to withdrawing from beginning to end.

Listening to the report of the fifth company commander, Li Weimin frowned, the fifth company commander's battle plan was not too omission, but it was the failure to judge the location of the little devil's arsenal that led to the failure of the operation. After the fifth company commander finished telling the story of last night, Li Weimin glanced at Liu Chundao and wanted Liu Chundao to help analyze what happened to the little devil to stop attacking today.

"Obviously, last night's combat operation was unsuccessful, as for why the little devils stopped attacking, it may have something to do with Captain Huang and them." Liu Chundao analyzed.

After hearing Liu Chundao's words, the fifth company commander just bowed his head silently, although last night's action was arranged by Li Weimin, but the specific combat operation was led by his fifth company commander, and of course he had the responsibility to lose so many brothers, and Li Weimin could not be allowed to bear all of them.

"You mean that the little devil's supplies didn't arrive at all last night, it should be Captain Huang and they sneaked up on the little devil's logistics supply line?" Li Weimin thought of this.

"After you entered the tent last night, what was in the tent?" Now, of course, they can't tell if it was Huang Changsheng and they led the troops to attack the logistics and transportation line of the little devils, and the only situation they could grasp was the incident of last night, so Liu Chundao wanted to try his best to understand it in detail.

"Report to Battalion Commander Liu, we broke into the little devil's tent last night, there were no soldiers in the tent at all, only a few tables and scattered maps, and another soldier also said that he saw the announcer in the tent, but he didn't see what the telegraph looked like, just speculated." The commander of the fifth company tried his best to tell all the things he had learned last night.

After hearing what the fifth company commander said, Li Weimin and Liu Chundao glanced at each other, and the two seemed to see through the minds of both parties, and then tacitly said "the command of the little devil".

"Did you knock out the little devil's headquarters last night?" Li Weimin was surprised by his judgment again, if the commander of the fifth company really killed the command of the little devil by mistake last night, this would really be a great achievement.

When the commander of the fifth company heard Li Weimin's inference, his eyes widened, and he couldn't believe that he had cut off the command of the little devil with a hundred people last night.

"Tell me about your retreat last night." Liu Chundao wanted to judge from the actions of the little devil whether the command system of the little devil had received good luck.

The commander of the fifth company had no choice but to tell the situation again when they retreated.

Liu Chundao kept nodding at Li Weimin: "According to the reaction of the little devil, if it weren't for the blow to the command system, it would be impossible for our hundred soldiers to escape from the encirclement of the little devil, it seems that it is not a fluke that you can successfully retreat." ”

Although Li Weimin agrees with Liu Chundao's opinion, there is no specific evidence to prove that the little devil's command system has been hit, and he can't go to the little devil now to ask if your command has been attacked by us.

"Okay, Fifth Company Commander, go back first, I and Commander Li will investigate the specific situation, and after going back, tell the brothers who came back yesterday that your battle plan yesterday was very successful, and you defeated the command of the little devils and won us precious time to hold our position." Liu Chundao said to the fifth company commander with a smile.

Before the commander of the fifth company woke up from their successful sneak attack on the little devil headquarters, he left the underground command room after saluting Li Weimin and Liu Chundao in a daze.

"Spring Knife, what are you going to do here? We simply don't have enough evidence to prove that the fifth company commander and they knocked out the little devil's headquarters, what if it was Captain Huang and they attacked the little devil's logistics? Li Weimin didn't understand why Liu Chundao said to the commander of the fifth company like this, this was not in line with the character of their second regiment at all, if Liao Fan knew that they lied about their war exploits, this would be completely shot in the army.

"Head Li, don't worry, you listen to my explanation first!" Liu Chundao said to Li Weimin, "I didn't mean to lie, let's not say if we have any evidence to prove this matter, you have also seen it in the past few days, we have been surrounded for three days, the soldiers are tense one by one, and the morale is declining little by little, the soldiers don't believe that we have the ability to hold the position, after a long time, we will really be eaten by the little devils bite by bite." ”

Hearing Liu Chundao's explanation, Li Weimin understood Liu Chundao's thoughts, and he also saw the changes in the position, he had experienced a day of fighting during the day, although he was very tired, but at night the soldiers couldn't sleep at all, and they could just use the sneak attack on the little devil's headquarters last night to boost morale.

In the morning, the word gradually spread on the position, last night's operation sneaked up on the headquarters of the little devil, killing the captain of the little devil's wing, and the soldiers heard the news and felt a sense of pride and admiration for the 100 heroes who participated in the operation yesterday.
