Chapter 608: Tie up Li Yunlong and put him in solitary confinement. When the transport plane arrives
Li Yunlong was not the type to keep silent when he suffered a loss. He was in great pain, and now he just wanted to fight the devils at all costs, but Lin Zhenhua beside him held him back. He couldn't bear it any longer, but the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He exploded and angrily shouted, "College students, even if we don't have the base, we still have to fight the devils!"
"Once we compromise with the Japs this time, it means we admit defeat to them. Even if I die, I will die standing up. I will never compromise with the Japs. Soldiers must be brave. Even if I know I'm going to die, I'm going to knock two teeth out of the Japs!"
"I, Li Yunlong, don't understand any great principles. I only know that it is natural to pay back debts. Since the Japanese did it on the first day, don't blame us for doing it on the fifteenth. Insufficient troops does not mean that we have to swallow our anger. Do you think we will not fight if there are fewer people?"
"I don't need to mobilize the entire base of 10,000 troops. Just send the four battalions of reinforcements to me on time. Go back to the base immediately. I will lead the six battalions in my hands to fight the devils to the death in Ping'an County. Even if all six battalions are wiped out, I will never surrender!"
Lin Zhenhua didn't expect Li Yunlong to get so angry. He didn't listen to his previous persuasion at all. He had no choice but to give an order: "Monk, immediately arrest the head of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong, and put him in solitary confinement. I will take over the defense of Ping'an County. I will give an order to the air force battalion to send a transport plane to send Li Yunlong back to the base."
"Zhang Dabiao, don't just stand there, immediately arrange for someone to send a letter to the devils, and exchange the hostages with Hirata Kojiro. Hirata Kojiro thought we didn't know his identity, but he didn't know that I had already secretly checked his identity. He is the nephew of the devil Tada of the North China Front Army. Aoki Jun'ichi will definitely not dare to not exchange people!"
"Shen Quan, immediately have the soldiers strengthen the defense. At all costs, you must defend Ping'an County for two days. Wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and then withdraw from Ping'an County!"
"Duan Peng, there is no need to have a warehouse for medicinal materials on hand. I will arrange a transport plane to airlift the medicinal materials back to the base. You will immediately lead your two companies to prepare for transporting the medicinal materials in advance!"
Lin Zhenhua didn't care at all about Li Yunlong's shouting and cursing. He directly arranged for Wei Heshang and Duan Peng to capture Li Yunlong and stuffed a torn towel into his mouth. This made Li Yunlong so angry that he screamed, but with the torn towel stuffed in his mouth, he couldn't make any sound at all.
Seeing the reluctant expressions on Zhang Dabiao and others' faces, Lin Zhenhua angrily scolded with an ugly face: "Zhang Dabiao, Shen Quan, I know you have been with your captain the longest, but at this time you must resolutely obey orders. If anyone dares to disobey military orders and release your captain privately, don't blame me for taking action against you. I always keep my word!"
"All the soldiers in the guard company died. I was also very sad and angry. Lao Zhao was seriously injured. If I hadn't accidentally gone to the arsenal, I might have become a prisoner of the devils. This is indeed an indisputable fact. I feel more frustrated than you, but no matter how frustrated we are, we have to endure it. Our current situation of being weak and the enemy strong has not changed. The anti-aircraft weapons carried by the anti-aircraft artillery group in the base have not been fully produced, and our air defense still has huge loopholes."
"Li Yunlong wants to seek revenge on the Japanese on his own, I will never stop him, but if he wants to take you with him to seek revenge on the Japanese and play with your lives, I will never agree! It's okay if Ping'an County is lost. At most, we can take it back later. But once the soldiers sacrifice their lives, it's really gone!"
"The main force of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army has suspended its counterattack. The Japanese can easily transfer troops from the front line to attack our Zhaojiayu base. Our current situation is actually very dangerous. Not to mention that there are millions of disaster victims who need to be resettled. The base is also being irrigated these days. Lao Zhao and I are busy like spinning tops every day. We don't rest for more than five hours at night."
"The pilots of the air force battalion have shown a spirit of fearlessness and sacrifice, and have fought many air battles with the devils to protect the safety of our air transport lines. We don't have the capital to take risks now. Once we lose the Zhaojiayu base, not to mention our future development, the civilians in the base will be massacred by the devils after losing our protection. Can you bear such consequences?"
Zhang Dabiao swallowed back what he was about to say. He also felt the seriousness of the situation. Originally, he planned to fight a decisive battle with the Japanese in Ping'an County with Li Yunlong, but now he had no such idea. Instead, he tried to persuade Li Yunlong.
Shen Quan knew that he couldn't fool around with the regiment leader Li Yunlong at this time, so he immediately stood up and said, "College student, I, Shen Quan, will resolutely follow your orders. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west. If you tell me to beat a dog, I will never chase a chicken!"
After stabilizing the two generals under Li Yunlong, Lin Zhenhua directly took Li Yunlong into custody. After contacting Ding Wei at the base, an hour later, a transport plane landed safely in Ping'an County.
Monk Wei and Duan Peng sent Li Yunlong to the transport plane. In order to avoid any unexpected situations, Lin Zhenhua called Monk Wei aside and told him in a serious tone: "Monk, as your savior, I beg you to do me one thing, that is, you must send Lao Li back to the base safely. You cannot untie Lao Li until we reach the base and hand him over to Captain Ding!"
Monk Wei stood at attention and saluted, guaranteeing: "College student, I am not a foolish person, and I will never give Captain Li a chance to escape. Before leaving, I hope that you can promise me one thing, that is, you must bring Comrade Zhao Xiuqin back!"
Lin Zhenhua promised with a firm face: "Monk, even if I risk my life, I will definitely rescue Comrade Zhao Xiuqin. You can rest assured about this!"
Monk Wei entered the transport plane and protected Li Yunlong as they returned to the base. Lin Zhenhua issued an urgent order to the reinforcements, requiring them to reach Ping'an County in two days at all costs.
Afterwards, Lin Zhenhua had a detailed understanding of the defense situation of the entire Ping'an County, and made fine adjustments to the anti-aircraft gun positions. He also arranged for people to carry out secondary reinforcement of the city walls that were destroyed by the Japanese. He was busy until after three in the morning before he rested.
At Maoershan Airport, a transport plane was parked steadily on the runway. Ding Wei, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately stepped forward and brought out Li Yunlong, who was tied up tightly in the cabin. He immediately took the towel out of Li Yunlong's mouth, so that Li Yunlong could finally take a good breath.
"Lao Li, I'm here with a mission this time. The college student has ordered you to be put in solitary confinement. You should stay in the confinement room obediently. It is the duty of a soldier to obey orders. You have been relieved of your post and the college student will temporarily take over the position of the head of the independent regiment. I know you are very dissatisfied in your heart, which is why I don't untie the rope on you!"
"The situation in the base is worse than you can imagine. The drought has seriously affected the growth of crops. If it is not resolved quickly, even food will be a problem in winter. God will not let the blind sparrows starve to death, but there is a huge price to pay for this. Not all blind sparrows can survive in the end."
"I know that you, Old Li, are a man of blood and cannot bear the slightest grievance, but for the sake of the overall situation, I, Old Ding, the military strategist in your eyes, have to be unrighteous for once!" Ding Wei persuaded earnestly.
Li Yunlong thought a lot on the way. He thought he would be free after returning to the base, and then he would settle accounts with Lin Zhenhua. But he didn't expect that Lin Zhenhua had already considered this and sent Ding Wei out directly to prevent him from acting on impulse.
"Lao Ding, I won't make it difficult for you. Even if you have to put him in solitary confinement, you have to let me go and see Lao Zhao first. Only after I'm sure Lao Zhao is safe can I feel at ease!"
Ding Wei did not object to Li Yunlong's request. For safety reasons, he did not untie the rope on Li Yunlong. Several people took an armored vehicle to the First Field Hospital. Zhao Gang, who was resting on the bed, saw Li Yunlong being brought in tied up and couldn't help laughing.
In such a long time in the independent regiment, he had never seen Li Yunlong so aggrieved. Li Yunlong had always been the one to show displeasure to others. Only Zhao Gang sometimes showed displeasure to Li Yunlong. No one else could stand up to Li Yunlong, except Lin Zhenhua of course.
"Old Li, I am very safe now. You don't need to worry at all. Don't try to convince me to agree to your idea of fighting the devils to the death in Ping'an County. I, Zhao Gang, totally disagree with this battle plan!"
Zhao Gang didn't give Li Yunlong any chance to persuade him at all. He just blocked what Li Yunlong was about to say, which made Li Yunlong really lose interest.
"Old Zhao, you son of a bitch, why can't you let me speak out before you stand up and oppose me? I haven't even said a word, but you've already scolded me. I feel more wronged than Dou E!"
"Now I have been dismissed from my position as the leader of the independent regiment by that bastard college student. He wants to put me in solitary confinement for six days. I accept all of this. After I get out, I must have a good fight with that college student to let him know that I am not someone who can be bullied!" Li Yunlong cursed angrily.
