That night, the night was dense and it was summer. Although it was night, the air was still sultry.
Although Li Yunlong said he was nonchalant, he still knew in his heart that guarding prisoners was an important task, and if he failed to do so, he would cause trouble.
Today is the first day of the new regiment's defense change. Li Yunlong personally went to each battalion's station to inspect.
"Captain, it's been so boring today, I can't even breathe!" Li Yunlong's guard Hu Zi's military uniform was soaked through, and he was fanning his chest with one hand.
"You have so many things to do, kid. What is this? When we were climbing the snow-capped mountains, many soldiers were wearing single clothes. The regiment under my command suffered from frostbite. When it was severe, it lost forty or fifty people every day just for non-combat purposes.
Number person.
No matter how hot it is in summer, it won't kill you, but in winter it can freeze you to death!" Several years have passed, but Li Yunlong still has lingering fears about the original situation.
While talking, Li Yunlong and his party rushed to Xiaonantou, where the Third Battalion of the New Regiment was stationed.
Li Yunlong walked around the village for a while, but saw no trace of the third battalion commander.
Then with a fierce look on his face, he said to a soldier from the third battalion: "Go and call your battalion commander!"
After a while, Zheng Sanchun, commander of the third battalion of the new regiment, rushed over.
"Captain, you're here!" Zheng Sanchun heard the soldier's report, secretly said something bad, and hurried over.
"Damn it, how did you become the battalion commander? You are so carefree. I, the regimental commander, still know how to go to each battalion to check, but you, the battalion commander, are taking a rest!" Li Yunlong cursed.
"Reporting to the leader, I have inspected it before and found nothing unusual.
Our third battalion works in two shifts. I am in charge of the day and the instructor is in charge of the night.
The officers were detained separately and supervised by dedicated personnel. There were three patrol teams in the village, and double checkpoints were set up at various important roads outside the village." The third battalion commander then reported the specific management measures to Li Yunlong.
"Well, I made a mistake in blaming you!" Li Yunlong admitted directly.
This side of Liujiawa.
There were a total of six officers in the house where Li Weiye was imprisoned, and there were three in each of the two rooms on the left and right. There were two soldiers standing guard in the yard outside the house.
"We should continue to rebel against the chaos. Since Yang Han doesn't want to participate, I won't force it. As long as this riot is successful, the party and the state will not treat everyone badly. From now on, you will follow me to get promoted and make a fortune!" Li Weiye was afraid.
Some of the people in front of me were cowering before the formation, but as always, I encouraged everyone.
"Commander, will Yang Han give information to the Eighth Route Army?"
"No, as long as he leaks information and causes the riot to fail, this matter cannot be hidden. If he goes back, he will be dead. He is a smart man and will not do stupid things!" Li Weiye said.
"Just act as we agreed before! Once you take action, no one will show mercy!"
...
In the past, houses in rural areas could not lock people in. If they wanted to come out, they could just kick open the windows, but this would make too much noise.
Li Laosan, the enemy company commander in the house, walked to the window next to the main room door, leaned his head against the window, and shouted to the two soldiers of the first battalion outside the door: "Brother, I have a stomachache, can you let me go?"
I’m going to go relieve myself!”
"Stop fucking yelling, who is your brother? You are a reactionary, I am the Eighth Route Army!" A soldier outside the door yelled while holding a rifle.
The atmosphere of a regiment is deeply influenced by its military commander. Li Yunlong usually has a fiery temperament and a tough style, and the soldiers below naturally imitate him.
"Sir, I really can't hold it in any longer. I can't keep him in the room. There are other people in the room!"
The soldier wanted to say something else, but another soldier interrupted him: "Don't let him go out at that time and say that our Eighth Route Army abused the prisoners and didn't even let them go to the toilet!"
As he spoke, he took off the wooden bolt on the door. However, to the surprise of the officer in the room, the soldier who opened the door took a step back. Two Eighth Route Army soldiers stood side by side with guns pointed at him.
"Come out, don't you need to use the toilet? Just go to the corner of the yard and do it!"
Li Laosan slowly walked out of the house, holding his stomach, and said as he walked: "Sir, it's really uncomfortable to hold it in, the shit is all up to the buttocks, I can't walk fast, please forgive me!"
A soldier from the First Battalion was walking behind Li Laosan with a gun in hand, while the other soldier was still looking at the house.
Li Laosan suddenly turned around, took out the broken bowl pieces from his pocket, rushed towards the soldier in front of him, and grabbed the rifle with lightning speed, and the two immediately struggled with each other.
Seeing this, another soldier quickly pulled the bolt of his gun. Unexpectedly, the other prisoners in the room rushed over and knocked him down.
The "pop" sound of a gunshot was particularly ear-piercing on this quiet summer night.
Li Weiye removed his bayonet and stabbed a battalion of soldiers in the abdomen. The remaining soldiers also killed the soldiers that Li Laosan knocked down.
"Move quickly!" Li Weiye took a grenade from the waist of the fallen soldier, pulled off the ring, and threw it into the house.
"Boom!" came an explosion.
"The Eighth Route Army is so damn poor. One person only has eight bullets and three grenades!" Li Laosan picked up a rifle and pulled the bolt.
"Brothers of the 97th Army, run quickly, the Eighth Route Army has killed prisoners!" After the grenade exploded, Li Weiye and others shouted.
Li Weiye's move was just to stir up trouble and force everyone to riot with him.
It was simple and crude, but very effective. The more than a thousand prisoners who were imprisoned suddenly became commotion. In addition, many soldiers of the 279th Regiment who had received the news in advance were among them to confuse people's hearts.
Many prisoners kicked open the windows and shouted: "Brothers, run away, the Eighth Route Army has killed the prisoners, everyone on the left and right is dead, fight them!"
The three patrol teams in the village quickly divided their forces to suppress the attack.
At this time, Zhang Dabiao had not rested. The instructor of the first battalion broke into the room and said hurriedly: "Batalion Commander, the prisoners are rioting!"
"Don't worry, a group of prisoners without guns will not be able to overthrow the enemy. There are fire points set up at every intersection leading to the outside of the village. If you dare to run away, you will overrun them!" Zhang Dabiao said with a stern face.
"Instructor, you immediately gather the resting soldiers, and at the same time send someone to notify the regiment headquarters. I will lead people to go up first!"
Zhang Dabiao went out and called to several guards: "Follow me!"
On the streets of the village, shadows of people moved from time to time, and a soldier armed with live ammunition forced the rioting prisoners back into the house.
However, more than a thousand prisoners were distributed in nearly 200 houses. After the bombing of a house, two soldiers had to be left to guard it. The strength of the first battalion was really stretched.
Zhang Dabiao's First Battalion suffered heavy casualties in this battle. The original battalion of more than 500 people only had more than 300 people left at this time. Fortunately, Li Yunlong transferred a company from the Fourth Battalion, which was a mobile force.
Even so, due to shifts and breaks, there are only about 250 soldiers responsible for guarding inside and outside the village.
Seeing that the riot was getting more and more chaotic, Zhang Dabiao took the flower trap from the soldier next to him and fired a hail of bullets at the rioting crowd.
...
Li Yunlong had already inspected the second battalion of Liujiazhuang. The three villages where prisoners were held were adjacent to each other. Li Yunlong could hear the sound of gunfire and the explosion of grenades very clearly.
"It's broken, something happened!" Li Yunlong's expression changed.
"The commander is Liu Jiawa from the first battalion. I will send troops to support him immediately!" said the second battalion commander.
"No, the first battalion is in chaos, and I'm afraid your prisoners will cause trouble. You send someone to inform the political commissar and ask him to take the fourth battalion to support the first battalion!" Li Yunlong reacted at this time.
After saying that, he took several accompanying guards and went straight to Liujiawa of the 1st Battalion.
