Chapter 66: We Are Wolves, We Are Wild Wolves
"Yes, you heard me right."
"In this combat mission, you will go to 1,500 miles away, to the Huai River in the south, to kill a devil naval officer, and to recapture the three tons of gold that the devil robbed."
"And."
"Along the way, there are no reinforcements, no support, only your lone army."
Li Yunlong emphasized it again, and the distance aggravated his tone.
With the repetition of Grand Master Li, the team fell into silence, the previous noise disappeared, and the eyes of the soldiers were different, some were still shocked, some became calm and indifferent, some were resolute, and even some people still looked forward to it, and there were quite a few.
But no one was afraid.
After all, at this time, this group of people is an elite veteran and the most determined anti-Japanese fighters.
From the beginning of their enlistment, they decided in their hearts that as long as they were fighting devils, even if they were sent to death, their brows would not wrinkle. Even after so much time and so much time on the battlefield, this original intention has not changed.
"Good."
Looking at the group of fighters in front of him, Li Yunlong was very satisfied:
"No one is afraid."
"It is worthy of being a soldier brought out by labor and management."
"It's not in vain that I will get you canned meat to eat at Brother Chen."
"Hahaha..."
Below, the fighters laughed en masse.
"Still."
Li Yunlong paused, and his tone suddenly became solemn: "I also said before, this combat mission is the most difficult and dangerous mission in the history of the Independent Regiment. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong looked around and accentuated his tone:
"Along the way, you have to pass through three devil-occupied areas, three national government influence areas, where hundreds of thousands of devils are gathered, there are more than 100,000 national government troops, as well as bandits, as well as rivers and mountains·····"
"It's the rainy season, and flash floods can break out at any time."
"All these are your enemies."
"Although this mission is very well prepared, and various plans have been made to deal with accidents, but once there is an accident, none of you can come back. Whether it's Zhang Dabiao, Wang Gensheng, or Cao Mantang, ·····"
"All will be sacrificed in this mission."
Hearing this, the warriors fell silent again.
What the head of the regiment said is the truth.
After such a long period of combat and the study of the organization of the troops, everyone knows the current form of the south and the difficulty of this mission.
To put it bluntly, on the way back, they carried three tons of gold, just like the yellow flower aunt who fell into the thief's den.
Money touches people's hearts.
Whether it is the devils, or the army of the government, or even the bandits, they will rush to them frantically to snatch this batch of gold, and when the time comes, unless they put on their wings, no one can escape.
Even if you break through the breakout, it's the same.
There must be layers of nets waiting for them.
No matter how tenacious a warrior is, in the face of such a task, he can't help but feel furious in his heart.
After all, as long as they are alive, who can be truly not afraid of death?
"Moreover, I can also tell you the truth, this mission can also be very simple and safe."
Li Yunlong continued:
"The business that Boss Chen gave us this time is mainly to kill that naval officer."
"With detailed information, sending Cao Mantang or Wang Xikui to ambush in advance and kill from a distance can ensure that no one will be sacrificed, and no one will even be injured, and you can easily get the previous batch of machinery and equipment and raw materials."
"In this case, it can be said to be the easiest task."
"But if you do this, you won't be able to get those three tons of gold, and you'll waste the intelligence of this mission."
"Since Boss Chen told us the information about these three tons of gold, he naturally wants us to grab it back."
When Li Yunlong said this, the soldiers below became quieter and quieter, and they all looked at Li Yunlong, but did not speak, but the fists in their hands became tighter and tighter.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yunlong continued:
"Therefore, for the sake of those three tons of gold, and in order to show my independent regiment in front of that Boss Chen, and to show the strength and determination of our Eighth Route Army, I still decided to send you to recapture this batch of gold."
"Even if..."
"None of you will come back, all of you will be sacrificed."
"Commander, don't worry."
Hearing this, at the front of the line, a soldier couldn't help but shout: "Even if I die, I will bring this batch of gold back." ”
"Yes."
Everyone said in unison: "Even if the whole army is destroyed, we will bring back the gold." ”
Three tons of gold.
How much should it be?
It was not clear to the people.
But they know that the one ton of gold in Taiyuan that they snatched back before has brought great help to their superiors, and the brigade headquarters and the headquarters have commended the whole regiment many times for this, and this time it is three tons, which is three times as much as before, how much help should this give to the troops?
Even if all these 100 people confess, it is worth it.
Li Yunlong didn't seem to hear the words of the soldiers, and he waited for his voice to lower before continuing:
"I hesitated for a long time before."
"In this mission, it is very likely that the gold has not been obtained, and no one will be able to come back."
"Is it worth sacrificing a hundred excellent soldiers of the Independent Regiment for the sake of three tons of gold, and it is not necessarily impossible to recapture the three tons of gold? Does he make money on this business? ”
"After all, you are the backbone of the entire independent regiment, and many of them are even company platoon commanders, if you all die, then the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment will drop by at least one-third."
"But then, I thought about it."
"We don't seem to be qualified to think about this."
"The independent regiment now eats and drinks without worry, has meat at once, lives like a rich man, there is no shortage of guns and bullets, and weapons and equipment are even more luxurious than the damn Kuomintang's Central Army Armament Division."
"But, are these things ours?"
"Can we produce these things ourselves?"
"If there is no Boss Chen to reward his face, do business with us, give us devil information, and let us fight devils and make a lot of money, can we get these weapons and ammunition, can we eat meat at a time?"
"Don't even think about it."
"If there is no Boss Chen, now our independent regiment, I am afraid that if we encounter a larger devil brigade, we will have to go around, where can we pull out a battalion at random like now, and dare to annihilate a devil brigade."
"Even, many companies dare to confront the devil brigade head-on."
"For example, Deputy Company Commander Zhang of the first battalion, your company, not long ago, when the Huting stronghold was training, more than 120 people in a company actually dared to be tough against the devils of the two squadrons, and finally won the battle."
"In the past, labor and management could not have imagined this."
Having said that, this group of veterans, who are at least one and a half years old, have recalled the first difficult years.
At that time, there was not enough food and clothing.
At that time, a thousand-person backbone regiment, in the face of a squadron of devils, was cautious, and only dared to be cautious, as for the decisive battle, fighting a tough battle, I never thought about it.
The total number of bullets in the whole regiment is not as large as that of a devil squad, the firepower is less than one-third of the opponent team in a devil, and the training of the fighters is also seriously insufficient.
"At the end of the day, we're essentially poor bastards."
"If you want money or not, if you want a gun or not, your whole body will be rotten."
Li Yunlong's tone at this time was indomitable:
"In that case, what are you afraid of?"
"Three tons of gold are in front of us, what is there to hesitate about? Not to mention that this is what the devil looted from our country, and the devil grabbed it, so naturally we have to grab it back. ”
"Isn't it just death?"
"Let's come out to join our Eighth Route Army and join the independent regiment to fight devils, which one of them is afraid of death?"
Looking at Li Yunlong, who had a fierce face, and the soldiers below whose morale was getting higher and higher, Zhao Gang felt a lot of emotion in his heart.
Not afraid of death.
Many commanders are powerless to say this.
The warriors are not stupid, they all know in their hearts that the higher the position, the less likely it is to be sacrificed.
But Li Yunlong is different.
This regiment commander is not afraid of death, every time he fights, he charges at the forefront every time, dares to fight, and the soldiers see it in their eyes and remember it in their hearts, so this sentence is not afraid of death, it seems very powerful.
"Moreover, as long as we behave more fiercely and fight devils crazy, the higher the price Boss Chen will give."
"In the past, for a few guns, we dared to carry a big blade into the devil's fortress, so now, for the sake of three tons of gold, and for Boss Chen to give us more weapons and ammunition."
"Why don't we dare to fight for our lives and run 1,500 miles to get it back?"
Li Yunlong's voice became wilder and wilder.
The eyes of the warriors below also became more and more hot.
"Commander, even if we die this time, we will bring the gold back."
"It's just, I'm afraid of a ball."
The soldiers were excited and high-spirited.
"Yes, it's a big deal that eighteen years later, he is a good man again, and he continues to fight devils."
“·····”
Everyone is afraid of death, no one wants to die, everyone wants to live, but there is always something that is more important than life, there is always something that is worth paying for with your life.
"Good."
Li Yunlong nodded, and suddenly smiled in a signature way:
"Some people say that we are like a group of dogs, and if someone else gives something casually, we don't want to go up and bite the devil."
"That's right."
"But I don't like dogs, I like wolves, I like wild wolves, especially packs."
"Wolves are beasts, when a group of people move, even if a tiger sees it, they have to be afraid of three points."
"Dogs walk thousands of miles to eat, wolves walk thousands of miles to eat meat."
"And our independent regiment, this time, has to travel thousands of miles to grab gold."
"Let's go."
"Like a pack of wolves, go and get the gold back."
Speaking of this, Li Yunlong suddenly raised the bowl in his hand:
"Dry this wine, I'll wait here for you to come back."
At the same time, the soldiers of the cooking class also came over and handed all the soldiers a bowl of wine, which was 10,000 shiny sweet potato roast.
Zhao Gang didn't speak, although it was a little inappropriate to drink now, but there was still a long time before the mission time, and it would not affect the battle, and this bit of wine did not have much effect.
"Dry..."
"Dry..."
With a series of bowls shattering, the team set off.
