Siheyuan: Xu Damao's New Life

"Okay, Brother Li, can you still contact the unit where the leader of the art troupe is from last time? Didn't he say that we can ask him for help if we have any problems? Let's bring them along as well. More people means more strength, and it can also minimize our casualties."

"Okay, I'll make the call right away." Li Huaide hurriedly got up and went to his desk to make a call. Xu Damao grabbed a cigarette from the table and lit one for himself and Zheng Gang. While smoking, he listened to the movement from Li Huaide's side. Soon, the office became filled with mist like a fairyland.

……

"It's done. My father-in-law and the troops stationed in Sijiu City have agreed to help." Li Huaide said excitedly, and he couldn't help but be happy. The current situation was very unfavorable to him, and many of his subordinates were fence-sitters. Suddenly, such a big pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head. It was hard for him not to make progress!

At this moment, Li Huaide was so pleased with Xu Damao that he thought he was his lucky star. No, he was his adopted parent! He was determined to push him up this time. Would it be fair not to promote such a person with such a strong revolutionary will?

Zheng Gang also went to the phone and called his former chief to explain the situation. The old chief was very angry and said that he would arrange for someone to handle the matter and asked Zheng Gang to go over quickly.

At this time, under the calm night sky of the old city, various signals and radio waves were intertwined, the big guys were mobilizing their troops, and military vehicles were frequently dispatched.

Zheng Gang looked at the two and said, "My old leader asked me to go there early tomorrow. I will gather some security personnel and notify them of the mission. If you want to go together tomorrow, you can take our security tricycle."

Li Huaide slapped his thigh and said, "We must go, but we can take the factory's transport team's car. I'll come to coordinate it tomorrow. I, Li Huaide, have been in the army before. If not now, when?" Li Huaide did not lie, but he was in the logistics department of the army.

"I must go there even more. I am familiar with the terrain there and can lead the way for everyone." Xu Damao also stood up.

"Okay, I'll go gather people and assign the tasks first, and then check the weapons and equipment." Zheng Gang rushed out.

Li Huaide came over and patted Xu Damao on the shoulder. "Da Mao, you are my real brother from now on. I have to thank you very much. Even at this time, you still think of me when you have made contributions. This time, I can fight a beautiful turnaround."

"It's too formal to say that. We are brothers in the same trench. We are all pointing our guns at the outside world." Xu Damao also showed an expression of gratitude and expressed his loyalty.

"Okay, brother, I'll remember your kindness. This time, I will try my best to help you get promoted to the next level." Li Huaide's acting skills are also good, and Xu Damao was almost moved.

"Brother, you take a nap first. I'll go back to the office to rest as I have a tough battle to fight tomorrow!" Xu Damao was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and just slipped away.

"Okay, brother, you go back first, I'll think about this matter." Li Huaide was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Xu Damao returned to his office and exchanged for a single bed and quilt. He felt so comfortable lying on the bed. The main reason was that this office was too small. Xu Damao had never put a bed in it, and the sofa was a wooden single sofa that could not be slept on.

Silent all night.

Xu Damao woke up early in the morning, went to the hot water room, got a pot of hot water and started to wash up. Then he rode his bike out of the factory gate to have breakfast. The steel rolling mill does not provide breakfast in the morning.

Xu Damao ordered a bowl of porridge and a basket of vegetarian buns stuffed with cabbage. When he paid, he also gave one to Li Huaide before riding his bicycle back to the steel mill.

The workers hadn't arrived yet, but the security staff had already lined up on the usual training ground. Last night, Zheng Gang had arranged for someone to inform the security staff who were not at work that they had a mission today, and required all staff to be present.

Zheng Gang was standing in front giving a speech to boost morale, but Li Huaide was nowhere to be seen. He should still be in the office. Xu Damao said hello and went straight to the office to find Li Huaide.

The office door was not closed, Xu Damao pushed it open and walked in, "Brother Li, I brought you food."

Li Huaide was on the phone, and pointed to the coffee table to indicate where to put it first. Xu Damao put down his lunch box and sat on the leather sofa to smoke. This sofa was really comfortable. When will I have an office like this?

At this time, Li Huaide hung up the phone and walked over. "Oh, you brought me breakfast. I was a little hungry. I was eating last night when you called me over."

"Eat quickly, there's nothing good here, otherwise it will get cold soon."

Li Huaide didn't pick and choose. He ate a bun in two bites and drank some porridge from time to time. He looked really hungry. "I have contacted the factory's transport team and asked them to vacate their vehicles as much as possible. How many people can the security department's sidecar motorcycles hold?"

"The road over there is not easy to travel on. The valley outside Lijiazhuang is very dangerous, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and cars can't get in at all, let alone heavy weapons." Xu Damao said with some concern.

"That's something the military leaders should consider. We're just going to show up and get some credit. You mustn't try to be too arrogant." Li Huaide warned with some concern.

"Don't worry bro, you can't let me go even if I want to."

Li Huaide finished his meal in a few bites and said, "Brother, it's almost time, let's go."

The two of them left the office building and came to the main gate. At this time, several trucks were parked outside the steel mill. Under the command of Zheng Gang, the security department was loading equipment up. Machine guns, mortars and various ammunition were all loaded onto the trucks. It seemed that the security department had also brought out all its resources this time.

It didn't take long for all the personnel and equipment to get on the vehicles. Xu Damao sat in the first vehicle to lead the way, and the convoy started heading towards Lantai Commune.

The car was swaying all the way, and the shock absorption system of the car at that time was not so perfect. Xu Damao almost vomited and regretted that he should have ridden a bike instead.

It took about an hour for the convoy to reach Lantai Commune. At this time, the threshing ground where Xu Damao had shown the movie was full of various vehicles, and soldiers were standing guard with guns around.

Xu Damao and his group jumped out of the car and saw Secretary Wang of the commune waiting for them not far away.

"Brother Damao, you are finally here. Come with me quickly. Many military leaders are waiting for you." Secretary Wang grabbed Xu Damao's arm and ran.

Li Huaide and Zheng Gang hurriedly followed, and soon they arrived at the temporary headquarters converted from the commune meeting room, where maps were placed on the walls and tables. Many officers were sitting on the stools on both sides of the table.

"Captain Feng, Comrade Xu Damao has arrived. Brother Damao, this is..." Secretary Wang was interrupted by Captain Feng before he could finish his words.

"Okay, let's stop being polite for now, Comrade Xu Damao. I have read all your information. The motherland and the people trust you. Now please tell me in detail about the terrain, firepower configuration, personnel, etc. in Lijiazhuang."
