At eight o'clock in the morning, Yumei and Zhao Danian received the notice and came to the battalion headquarters.
Shanzi pointed out the issue directly——
As the situation changes, the base camp cannot remain hidden for a long time. It should focus on defense, expand the fortifications, and at the same time expand the barracks to prepare for the centralized garrison of independent battalions and the establishment of independent regiments.
When there was no objection, Shanzi put forward specific requirements for fortifications and barracks expansion.
Shanzi said that in addition to building peripheral fire defenses, there are several small hills scattered throughout the camp. These are natural fortresses given to the independent camp by God and must be fully utilized.
Shanzi went on to say that tunnels could be dug from under the mounds and cave dwellings could be built to store arms, food and grass to prevent indiscriminate bombardment by enemy artillery. Important departments of the independent battalion were also converted into cave dwellings.
Shanzi gave the final instruction that Zhao Danian would be fully responsible for the planning and construction, and construction would begin in three days.
Yumei reflected at this time that Chunping, Qiuhong and Chunxing had repeatedly asked to join the independent camp and were determined to go to the front line to kill the Japanese. If they were refused, they would jump off the cliff hand in hand and commit suicide.
Shan Zi immediately made a decision to organize the three girls into a third platoon and serve as soldiers under Jin Ye.
Zhao Danian suggested that we should find a way to get a batch of grenades and special bullets for heavy machine guns, and make full use of the captured weapons to enhance combat effectiveness.
Shanzi thought for a while and decided to go to Guangde Temple tomorrow and make plans based on the situation.
…
At 1 o'clock in the morning the next day, Shanzi wore a mandarin jacket, rode out of camp with Xiao Liu, and arrived at Guangde Temple near noon.
To Shanzi's surprise, Jinye's sister-in-law Bao Yulian was sitting in the living room.
Bao Yulian said that when she came to Guangde Temple this time, she first burned incense and worshiped Buddha, and secondly asked Master Yunyou to read fortune-telling.
Although Shanzi was suspicious, he didn't know the real purpose of Bao Yulian's trip——
According to a report from the Linshui Intelligence Department of the National Army, the Japanese army transported a batch of arms from Jinan to Linshui City. Since this batch of arms was in preparation for the attack on Jiangsu New City, the superiors instructed Lin Feng to send troops to intercept and completely destroy the arms.
Out of her duty to the party and state, Bao Yulian took the initiative to come to Guangde Temple and conspired with Lin Feng to intercept the plan.
After chatting for a while, Bao Yulian stood up to say goodbye and left Guangde Temple on her bicycle.
Lin Feng warmly received Shanzi's arrival. Not only were Liang Yonghui and Secretary Ye accompanying him, but even the three concubines from Bailong Village also came to support him.
I also heard from Lin Feng that the three concubines are now serving in the Rangers, with Xiao Wuzi replacing Xiao Ru as a confidential officer, and Xiao San and Xiao Si working in the logistics department respectively.
During the conversation, Shanzi expressed his intention and hoped that Lin Feng would use various channels to obtain some Japanese-made special bullets for the Type 92 heavy machine gun and Type 89 grenades.
Although Shanzi repeatedly emphasized that this was a fair transaction and that he would pay according to the price, Lin Feng coldly refused.
Taking a sip of tea, Lin Fengqi complained bitterly——
Due to the last time the inventory of firearms was misappropriated to the independent battalion, not to mention the suspension of salary for six months, even the certificate of promotion to lieutenant colonel was lost.
Although Shan Zi was disappointed, he could understand Lin Feng's difficulties.
The luncheon given to Shanzi was very sumptuous, including chicken, fish, meat and eggs.
While drinking and drinking, Lin Feng inadvertently revealed a piece of information——
On the 8th of this month, the Japanese army transported a large amount of arms from Jinan. A total of ten trucks were dispatched, two of which were escort trucks, and an armored patrol vehicle. They were expected to arrive at Linshui City around midnight.
The day before yesterday, the Rangers received the order to go up to the peak and rush to the Jiayu Town area of Philadelphia County to conduct an interception operation against Japanese military weapons.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. After hearing this news, Shanzi couldn't help but become more drunk.
Half drunk and half awake, Secretary Ye raised his glass and stood up: "Captain Wang, Ye Lan would like to sincerely wish Xiaoru to join the independent camp. It's a pity that my life is miserable and I can only be stuck in the quagmire in this life. It doesn't matter, I have wine now."
I am drunk today, and my eyes are blurry as I live this life. Ye Lan offers a drink to the commander of the battalion."
Lin Feng suddenly roared: "Secretary Ye, please be careful about your words and deeds and don't damage the image of the national army."
Secretary Ye chuckled: "Captain Lin, Ye Lan wants to ask you, what is the image of the national army, and who is damaging the image of the national army? Is it playing power and defrauding the bodies of female subordinates to use as playthings? This is what Captain Lin calls
Image? Could it be that those female subordinates who were toyed with were damaging the image of the national army?"
Lin Feng roared again: "If you rebel, if you rebel, I will punish you with a serious crime."
Secretary Ye put down the glass of wine: "Lin, if you are a man of some kind, you can simply send Ye Lan to a military court and give it to Chairman Chiang to be punished. But do you dare?"
Lin Feng was so angry that he was dumbfounded by the sharp remarks. Thanks to the persuasion of the three concubines, this war of words full of gunpowder was finally settled.
When the banquet was over, Lin Feng was extremely drunk.
Liang Yonghui and Secretary Ye saw Shanzi off together.
