Chapter 219 Bai Xiumei Arrives
"Haha, Xiao Luo's had enough fun, and finally decided to come back?"
As Bai Luo and his two companions, along with Xiong, entered the command post of the Red Party headquarters, they heard Zhuge Ming's hearty laughter.
"Chief of Staff Zhuge."
Upon seeing the newcomer, Bai Xiumei gave Zhuge Ming a military salute.
Then he continued.
"Thank you and General Liu for taking care of my silly girl and this mischievous boy during this time."
As she spoke, Bai Xiumei couldn't help but rub Bai Luo and Sha Niu's heads.
"Haha, it's not really about taking care of them. Xiao Luo and Sha Niu have helped us a lot. By the way, has Li Yilong's group finished handing over to the Blue Party?"
Zhuge Ming asked the important question.
"Yes, Commander Li has already returned to the regimental headquarters with the exchanged supplies."
Zhuge Ming nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
"It's good that nothing went wrong. Comrade Qingping, let's go inside and talk. It's cold outside."
"Yes, Chief of Staff."
Seeing that her aunt had gone off to attend to important matters, Bai Luo took the silly girl and the silly bear back to the house she used to live in.
Inside the command post, Liu Cheng and Bai Xiumei exchanged a few polite words before getting straight to the point.
"Boss, I'm here with instructions from my superiors."
"Xiao Liu will stand guard at the door. No one is allowed to approach until our conversation is over."
Upon hearing Bai Xiumei mention serious matters, Liu Cheng immediately instructed Xiao Liu at the door.
"Yes."
Xiao Liu, who was standing at the door, immediately accepted the order, closed the door to the command post, and stood guard outside.
"Alright, Comrade Qingping, you can speak now. What instructions does headquarters have?"
Bai Xiumei didn't keep them in suspense and spoke directly to the two of them.
"The headquarters at the rear issued a total of three orders."
First, the western province selected elite backbone personnel and highly educated talents from across the army to go to headquarters to learn new tactics for a period of three months.
Secondly, regarding the northern province, our comrades there have suffered heavy casualties recently in order to deliver information about poison gas bombs to us.
There is a severe shortage of manpower. Moreover, the weapons and equipment are outdated. Headquarters has ordered the entire army in the western province to select a 100-man elite squad, preferably with martial arts skills, to go to headquarters for three months of training before going to the northern province to provide support.
The third order is that they want my cooperation in collecting some automatic firearms to bring back to headquarters.
Once all the assigned personnel have arrived, they should immediately come with me to headquarters to report for duty.
Liu Cheng and Zhuge Ming exchanged a glance after hearing Bai Xiumei convey these three messages.
He realized that these three commands were all related.
After a moment of contemplation, Zhuge Ming spoke first.
"Comrade Qingping, what type of tactic is this? And is the third order in conjunction with the second one?"
Upon hearing Zhuge Ming's question, Bai Xiumei immediately explained.
"Here's the thing, Chief of Staff. Some time ago, a regimental commander from the Blue Party defected to us. He had studied in Germany before and brought a completely new combat system, which has been tested in many actual battles with great success. The Japanese in the south are now in a lot of trouble with the troops he leads."
Therefore, after discussions at headquarters, it was decided that all war zones should learn this new tactic.
But don't worry, these 100 people will return to the Western Province immediately after completing their mission in the Northern Province.
"I wonder what this tactic is called?"
Liu Cheng, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask as well.
"Special operations. It's a combat method that integrates reconnaissance, assassination, decapitation, and infiltration. It's about using minimal force to achieve maximum effect."
Bai Xiumei explained.
Special operations!
While Liu Cheng was still pondering the meaning behind Bai Xiumei's words, Zhuge Ming, who was standing next to him, couldn't help but blurt out the name upon hearing it.
"Old buddy, have you heard of this tactic?"
Upon hearing Zhuge Ming's instinctive exclamation, Liu Cheng asked with some surprise.
Zhuge Ming nodded meaningfully.
He had not only heard of it, but he had also witnessed it being executed.
He couldn't help but think of the smooth teamwork that rescued Bai Luo and Sha Niu from the Second Regiment of the West, and the wireless phone on their bodies that left a deep impression on him.
It was that bugle call from the Second Regiment of the West that turned this decapitation strike into an annihilation operation.
"Oh, tell me more, this is the first time I've ever heard of this tactic."
Liu Cheng was surprised that his old buddy had heard of such a novel tactic, and hurriedly gestured for Zhuge Ming to explain in more detail.
Upon seeing this, Zhuge Ming recounted in detail what Bai Luo had told him earlier, as well as what had happened when he went to assist the wounded soldiers of the field hospital in their evacuation.
When Bai Xiumei heard that Bai Luo's matter was also mentioned, she immediately perked up and listened carefully.
More than half an hour later.
Liu Cheng put down the now-cold water glass in his hand and murmured.
"Is Xiao Luo really that amazing? I used to think you were joking, but I never imagined he was really that good."
"Absolutely, and quite mischievous too."
Upon hearing Liu Cheng's words, Bai Xiumei made a sarcastic remark about Bai Luo, but the pride she felt for Bai Luo was impossible to hide in her eyes.
Having said that, Liu Cheng immediately made the decision, and the mobilization order was quickly relayed.
That noon, inside Bai Luo's hut.
"Xiao Luo, are you going back to headquarters with your aunt?"
Bai Xiumei put down her chopsticks and said to Bai Luo, whose belly was round from eating.
"Hehe, Auntie, I'm not going back with you. It's too boring there."
Bai Luo said somewhat embarrassedly, after all, her aunt had come to see her this time under the guise of official business.
"Alright, fine. But you have to write me a letter every week to let me know your location, otherwise your aunt will worry about you."
Bai Luo was prepared to be scolded, but she didn't expect her aunt to agree so easily.
Bai Luo was a little taken aback and stared blankly at her aunt.
I doubted whether I had heard correctly.
Looking at Bai Luo's adorable little face, Bai Xiumei couldn't help but pinch Bai Luo's cheek again.
Bai Luo was also startled awake by her aunt's warm hand and hurriedly asked another question.
"Auntie, did I hear that right? You agreed?"
"No, you misheard me, I didn't agree."
Bai Luo looked at Bai Xiumei's teasing gaze and knew that her aunt was making fun of her.
He hurriedly made his assurances.
"Don't worry, Auntie, I promise I'll write you a letter or send you a telegram every week."
Suddenly, it seemed like something had occurred to him.
"Auntie, do you want a weapon? Just say the word and I'll bring it to you right away."
Bai Xiumei looked at Bai Luo with a teasing gaze.
"Is it going to be another samurai sword used for cutting weeds?"
Bai Luo's face darkened; her aunt remembered what had happened before.
"No, they are weapons from the Japanese. I know you're not having a good time, so I specially collected a batch of weapons."
However, Bai Luo didn't say one thing: he was praising his aunt for her contribution, which was a huge amount of supplies.
Bai Luo had secretly slipped out last night and hidden the supplies in a cave he had previously scouted.
Bai Xiumei affectionately rubbed Bai Luo's little head, and she did not doubt Bai Luo's words.
Previously, when Bai Luo was in Haishi, he quietly acquired nearly a hundred guns right under her nose. Now that so much time has passed, and Bai Luo specifically mentioned it, Bai Xiumei thinks there must be quite a lot of weapons left.
Bai Xiumei even boldly guessed that there were probably over a thousand of these weapons.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiumei stroked Bai Luo's little face and said.
"If you don't need it, then give me the location where the weapons are hidden. I have quite a few people coming back with me, so we can take them directly back to headquarters."
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo immediately said that she didn't need it. Then she told her aunt where she had hidden the weapons.
