Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 314 Act faster, we must clear out the rats in the transfer station tonight!

Zhou Tiezhu replied nonchalantly, "College student, you don't need to bring a ton of drinking water every time. Over the past few days, the well we dug has not dried up. There is plenty of water in it. There is no need to worry too much."

"With the protection of this ancient city, the wind and sand from outside can't get in. We used iron buckets filled with water and used three-wheeled motorcycles to level the open space in the city. There is no problem using it to park transport planes."

Lin Zhenhua interrupted what Zhou Tiezhu was about to say, he knew what he wanted to say, the ancient city was very safe, the garrison company had a lot of things to do on weekdays, they really couldn't spare manpower to dig cellars and store fresh water, not to mention that it would only waste effort and time, greatly wasting manpower and material resources, it was a completely stupid move.

Lin Zhenhua suppressed the anger in his heart. He did not expect that Zhou Tiezhu's name and personality were completely opposite. This made him regret letting him serve as the company commander of the garrison company. He already had the plan to remove him. It was not that Lin Zhenhua wanted to do this to establish his own authority, but he also had his own considerations.

"Captain Zhou, go and notify the cadres above the platoon level to come to the meeting. I have something important to announce. At the same time, I will be frank with you to prevent you from secretly being dissatisfied and affecting this air transport line. This is related to the lifeblood of our base. I will not allow any unexpected situations to happen!"

Zhou Tiezhu listened to Lin Zhenhua's angry words and knew that he had stirred up a hornet's nest this time. He couldn't control his mouth normally and looked quite shrewd, but he didn't expect that he was too shrewd this time.

Zhou Tiezhu, feeling a little depressed, wanted to say a few more words to argue, but when he turned around, Lin Zhenhua had already left. This made him a little angry, so he went straight to notify people to come to the meeting. He wanted to see what Lin Zhenhua had to say.

Lin Zhenhua saw from Zhou Tiezhu the evil consequences brought about by the blind expansion of the independent regiment. In fact, with Zhou Tiezhu's ability, he could at most be a squad leader, but now he was promoted to company commander like a rocket. This was mainly because he was a veteran who had participated in many battles. In the past, he would not have been promoted so quickly and could at most be promoted to deputy squad leader. But this time, the losses of the independent regiment were too great, and there was really no other choice but to pick a general from the short ones.

An hour later, Zhou Tiezhu brought six people to the company headquarters for a meeting. Lin Zhenhua had been waiting for a long time. It was still relatively early, just after six in the afternoon, and it was not completely dark yet. With the help of the light outside, the six people sat on the ground, waiting for Lin Zhenhua to speak first.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Lin Zhenhua did not feel any pressure. Instead, he got straight to the point and said, "Tomorrow I will lead the transport aircraft formation to open up the last section of the air transport line. I didn't want to bring this up at this time, but I found that the garrison company has some bad signs. If things continue like this, the consequences will be disastrous."

"My previous request was to dig four wells and four water storage cellars to store water. I have repeatedly warned you about this matter, but until today, only one well has been dug in the city, and no water storage cellars have been dug. The fresh water I brought several times was piled up in a corner of the city wall. The various facilities in the entire city are arranged in a very messy manner. How can I feel at ease?"

"We spent a lot of effort to build this transit station, and the base invested a lot of material resources in it, but now you are perfunctory about it. If something goes wrong, it will be a big problem, and we won't even have a chance to remedy it!"

"I know you are a little bit sneering at my request to dig wells and store water, and you may even think that I am worrying too much. But have you ever thought about the environment where this ancient city is located? It is surrounded by a Gobi desert. There is only grassland within a radius of less than five kilometers nearby. There is no one living within a few hundred kilometers outside. It is all sandy desert. From this, we can judge that there is a great shortage of water here."

"I don't know why we have been able to dig water out of the well during this period of time, but have you ever thought about it? We have been here for half a month and it has never rained. If it doesn't rain in the next month, can you guarantee that there will be water in the well?"

"If the wells are dry and there are no rivers around, how will you survive? If you don't have food, you can eat wild grass, which will last you a few days, and you will definitely be rescued. But if you don't have water to drink, I don't think you will last even three days and will die of thirst here. This is not an exaggeration, it is the truth."

"After all, this air transport line will be discovered by the Japanese one day. Once we are blocked by the Japanese and cannot get help, you can only rely on your own reserves to survive. This is why I always bring some food every time I come, and arrange for you to catch some wild goats and bring them over to graze every day, just to ensure your food source."

"But none of you care at all, especially you, Captain Zhou, who pretends to obey me but actually disobeys me. I have told you several times in a row, but you never took it seriously. If that's the case, then you should resign as the captain, and the position will be taken by Platoon Leader Wang Dazhu."

"Wang Dazhu, you will lead the soldiers of the garrison company to implement my previous plan step by step. I will only give you ten days. If you can't do it, I will replace you directly."

Zhou Tiezhu did not expect that Lin Zhenhua would directly remove him from the position of company commander. He immediately became a private soldier, which made him very dissatisfied. He shouted angrily: "College student, you are totally unfair. I, Zhou Tiezhu, have been working diligently these days. It is not as bad as you say. I think you are deliberately retaliating. I want to ask the regiment commander to judge. I don't believe that there is no reason for our independent regiment!"

Lin Zhenhua's face turned completely black. In order to prevent Zhou Tiezhu from doing anything weird, he directly ordered Hao Dalei beside him: "Deputy Captain Hao, put Zhou Tiezhu in solitary confinement for three days. I will take him with me when I come back. Since he wants to seek justice from the regiment commander, I will give him this opportunity! Find two people to watch him and no one is allowed to let him out. I want to see how wronged he is!"

Hao Dalei immediately stepped forward to stop Zhou Tiezhu from continuing to make trouble. After all, if he continued to make trouble, it would not change anything, but would make the relationship between the two sides worse.

"College student, I'm going to take him away right now. If you have anything to say, just tell Wang Dazhu!"

After saying this, Hao Dalei took Zhou Tiezhu and hurriedly left the company. Seeing Lin Zhenhua frowning, he felt more and more that he had made a mistake before, and there was a trace of uneasiness in his heart. Everyone looked at the remaining four people, and their faces became more stern than ever before.

"The four of you should tell me about Zhou Tiezhu and Hao Dalei. I have a feeling that they are hiding something from me. You are veterans of the independent regiment. Don't become a traitor like Zhu Ziming and be stabbed in the back for the rest of your life!"

Wang Dazhu and the other three didn't expect that Lin Zhenhua would have such a bad association, but when they thought of what Zhou Tiezhu and Hao Dalei had done in recent days, their faces turned ugly. Now thinking that there really was something fishy going on, they honestly told everything they knew, which made Lin Zhenhua's eyelids twitch. He never expected that the reserved fuel would be consumed so quickly, which was completely beyond his expectations.

What made Lin Zhenhua feel something was wrong was that when the deputy platoon leader of the second platoon, Wenxueqing, heard the question he had just asked, his pupils suddenly contracted, which made him suspect that Wenxueqing might be in cahoots with Zhou Tiezhu and the others.

"Wang Dazhu, go over immediately and ask Ma Xiaoliu to bring the pilot over. I have something important to arrange!"

Wang Dazhu was a little confused, but when he saw the ferocious monk and Duan Peng, he immediately ran over to call for help. While waiting, Lin Zhenhua directly interrogated the three people in front of him. What he didn't expect was that even the second platoon leader was involved, and he directly asked the monk and Duan Peng to capture and tie up the two.

"College student, what's going on? Is there really a problem with the second platoon? This shouldn't happen! No matter how brave Zhou Tiezhu is, he shouldn't betray the independent regiment. After all, this is in the wilderness. Even if they surrender to the Japanese, they can't contact them. These people don't have radios. Can they transmit messages thousands of miles away?" Monk Wei touched his head and asked curiously.

Lin Zhenhua replied with a gloomy face: "I am sure that Wenxueqing is the spy hidden in the garrison company. It was he who instigated Zhou Tiezhu and others to destroy our air transport team by destroying the transfer station. The reason why they haven't taken action now is because our air transport line has not been opened, and they are not prepared. I also feel from Zhou Tiezhu's perfunctory attitude towards me that this person is no longer trustworthy!"

"Monk, take your men and capture Zhou Tiezhu and Hao Dalei. If they dare to resist, shoot them immediately. Duan Peng, go and seize the armory immediately. No shots or bullets are allowed to be fired without my order."

"During the meeting just now, I had people gather the garrison company and asked them to take the repair equipment and rush to 30 kilometers away, where a transport plane we forced to land was. It was precisely because I was more careful that I easily mobilized the garrison company. Now there is only one squad left in the city. As long as we disarm this squad, we will be invincible!"

"Wang Dazhu is trustworthy. He has been with the regiment commander for six or seven years. He came to me before and said that there was something wrong with the fuel consumption of the transit war reserve. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Later, I asked him carefully and found out the trick. However, I am waiting for the right opportunity to catch them all in one fell swoop without alerting them."

"No more nonsense, let's start the action immediately. We must take back the transfer station and put it in our hands again!"
