Li Yong told everyone that Li Kungang's guard company could not support for long under the sudden attack of two battalions of our army, and now our task is to sleep.

By about 4 o'clock in the morning, the sound of gunfire and explosions gradually thinned out, and after more than twenty minutes, there were only sporadic gunshots, and Li Yong knew that the battle of our army against Panlong Town was over, and now he was waiting for Wang Laohu. At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon came in and reported: "Our army completely annihilated the enemy's 167th Brigade in Panlong Town, and captured the brigade commander Li Kungang alive. ”

Li Yong asked Zhang Jinsong to send a few more people to pick up Wang Laohu and his fifth platoon, and when it was almost noon, Zhang Jinsong came in to tell Li Yong that the fifth platoon was back, Li Yong hurriedly got up, and when he went outside, he saw that Wang Laohu and his soldiers had brought a lot of fellow villagers and many big carriages, Wang Laohu walked up to Li Yong and reported loudly: "Report to the company commander, there are 24 carriages, two people per car, a total of 48 people." ”

Li Yong slapped Wang Laohu: "Tiger, it's really good to have you." "Then the troops were ordered to load the vehicles immediately, and the reconnaissance platoon was on alert.

A full 24 carriages were full, and there were still a lot of them left unloaded, so Li Yong had no choice but to let the soldiers resist, except for the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon, of course, they had other tasks, and the fellows who drove the cars were very strange, weren't the eight roads very poor, how could this group of eight roads not be poor?

In the strange eyes of the fellow villagers, the spy company went all the way north under the leadership of instructor Wang Chengde, only Li Yong and the company's 8 people and Zhang Jinsong's reconnaissance platoon stayed, which was decided by Li Yong and instructor Wang Chengde after discussion, Li Yong's reason is that the army will be expanded, although the people in northern Shaanxi are very conscious and support their own army, but the land is vast and sparsely populated, and it is very difficult to expand the troops. As long as the captives come and are re-educated, they are good warriors.

Panlong Town is still full of mountains within a radius of dozens of miles, I don't believe that there are no fish that have slipped through the net, Li Kungang's army is a reinforced brigade with more than 7,000 people, no more than enough to catch him dozens of is a great gain, Wang Chengde thought that this was indeed the case, and agreed with Li Yong's idea, but when he left, Wang Chengde was not at ease, and left him with 8 veterans of the company, and asked him to pay attention to safety.

Now the reconnaissance platoon plus Ning Erzi, who has newly joined the army, is 26 people, plus Li Yong and the 8 people in the company, a total of 35 people, all of whom have been replaced with submachine guns, 200 bullets per person, and 4 grenades, needless to say, the beauty of the soldiers, even Zhang Jinsong and several of their old soldiers kept touching their bullet belts, Zhang Jinsong grinned and said: "Company commander, when we beat the little devils, the little devils said that we are the Eighth Road of the Dirt, and the people who beat the Kuomintang said that we are the Eighth Road of the poor, Let us meet again this time, so that he knows what the rich Eight Roads are. ”

It stands to reason that Li Yong should be equipped with a shell gun, but this time although the spy company seized a lot of weapons, there was not a small gun, Li Yong didn't care, and like the soldiers, he carried a brand-new American-style submachine gun, but he didn't carry a grenade, and hung a leather satchel where the grenade was hung.

In this way, Li Yong and the soldiers kept stringing in the mountains within a radius of dozens of miles in Panlong Town, you don't want to say that this time Li Yongmeng was right, less than half a day's work caught two groups of stragglers, together there were more than 30 people, Li Yong asked the prisoner to put the back of the gun that unloaded the firing pin, and picked an honest prisoner to lead the way to continue to search in the mountains, when it was almost dark, more than 40 had been caught, Li Yong was afraid that it would be dark and the Kuomintang deserters would cause unnecessary conflicts, so he told everyone not to camp in place.

Because the battle in Panlong Town was over, the soldiers were not afraid to expose the target and lit several fires, and also let the prisoners light a big fire and roast the fire together, Li Yong asked the soldiers to send dry food and water to the prisoners, and when he saw the prisoners being scared and frightened, he walked over, and said to a prisoner sitting by the fire: Brother, give me a place.

After a day, the captives knew that this young man dressed in ordinary people's clothes was the company commander of the Eighth Route Army and the head of this small army, and hurriedly gave Li Yong a place, Li Yong sat down and looked at the captives and said loudly: "Brothers, do you know the prisoner policy of the Eighth Route Army? After waiting for a while, a few captives replied, "Yes." Li Yong shouted loudly again: "Since you know that you are still nervous? Eat when you need to eat, drink when you need to. ”

After finishing speaking, he handed the kettle in his hand to the captives beside him: "Give you two sips of water, see how you are the same as your mother?" You didn't pee your pants during the war, did you? The captives laughed after listening to Li Yong's words, and the tense atmosphere was gone, and Li Yong continued: "Don't tell you, you see that I am now the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, two months ago I was the same as you, wearing your clothes, and pointed to the prisoners around me, but my rank is not as high as you, you are a corporal, I am a private." ”

The captives were all surprised when they heard Li Yong's words, and one of the captives asked in a low voice, "Sir, you were also captured by the Eighth Route like us?" Li Yong replied: "I was originally from the Ninth Regiment of the Third Division, and my original name was Li Erdan, but I didn't like it and changed my name to Li Yong after joining the People's Liberation Army." ”

As soon as the captives heard that the company commander of the Eighth Route Army had been a ** prisoner like them two months ago, they all relaxed, and began to talk more, and another captive asked, "Sir, when did you come over?" ”

Li Yong replied: "Before the attack on Yan'an, I was wounded and ran out of the field hospital, and I was caught by our People's Liberation Army on the way, and the kid who captured me was called Li Jiangguo, who was a platoon commander of our company. ”

The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon laughed when they heard Li Yong's words, and everyone also knew the history of the company commander, Li Yong continued: But now it's okay, now I am the company commander, and he is the platoon commander who has to listen to me, don't you see the appearance of Li Jiangguo when our commander just announced that I was the company commander, it was one hundred and twenty unwilling, do you know how I dealt with him? Seeing that the captives were listening attentively, he continued: "I transferred this kid Li Jiangguo to the company headquarters as a correspondent for a month, and since then this kid has been honest. ”

Even the soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon who captured the prisoners laughed loudly, and the mood of the prisoners was completely relaxed.

Li Yong saw that the captive's mood was relaxed, and asked, "Brothers, which of you is poor?" When the captive heard Li Yong's question, he replied: Sir, we are all poor, who from rich families will be soldiers? Li Yong asked again: Do you know why you are poor? The captives listened to Li Yong's words and didn't squeak because they didn't know how to answer, Li Yong continued: You may have this or that answer and thought, but what I want to tell you is that
