Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 114

South of Yushe County, Rongcun.

Since the brigade headquarters gave priority to replenishing soldiers for the new regiment, the size of the new regiment has gradually expanded.The combined number of the first and third battalions, as well as a company brought by Li Yunlong from the regiment headquarters, was almost the same as the entire regiment two or three months ago.

Naturally, it is impossible for so many people to stay in Wangjiazhuang.Li Yunlong chose to disperse the troops, splitting the machine gun companies into infantry companies, and then stationed them in company units.When selecting the site, Rongcun Village, which had a difficult terrain, was close to Yushe County, and had good mass work, was naturally chosen.

In the yard, Captain Wang from the [-]th Company of the [-]rd Battalion of the New Regiment was holding the hand of the local district mayor with a smile on his face: "District Chief Zhao, you are so polite. We are new here and we have to live in the village to disturb everyone. We already feel bad about it. , how dare you ask for more?"

"Hey, look what you said, the army and the people are united!"

The two laughed and were about to say something else when several shouts came from outside the yard.

"District Chief! District Chief!"

The two looked outside along the courtyard wall, and saw a militiaman running over panting.

"District Chief, the Japs' transport team has arrived!" the militiamen quickly reported the news, while looking at the Ninth Company Commander on the side.

The commanders of the Eighth Route Army were dressed exactly like the soldiers, and their identities could usually be identified by looking at the words on their badges.Even though the new group changed into camouflage uniforms, they still had the same uniform.The militiaman was illiterate and did not recognize that he was still a company commander.

The district chief immediately understood what the militiamen meant: "Tell me, this is Captain Wang of the Ninth Company of the New Regiment. We have nothing to hide from Captain Wang."

"Okay." The militiamen organized themselves and said: "The Japanese transport team does not plan to pay the supplies and wants to go directly. I saw that they only have one small team, so I asked the fourth brother and the others to shoot to buy time."

"District Chief, let's block him!"

District Chief Zhao nodded.The work of the county government has just begun and there is a serious shortage of manpower. Therefore, he is not only the district chief, but also the captain of the district team, and he is qualified to command the troops to fight the Japanese.

"The Japanese are unwilling to continue to pay supplies. I guessed this. After all, the county has more than 1000 people. If it were me, I would be confident and want to have a chance with the enemy." District Chief Zhao smiled. : "Assemble the troops and set off immediately!"

"Yes!" The militiaman saluted, turned around and ran away.

Seeing the militiamen leaving, District Commander Zhao turned his head and said, "Captain Wang, a small team of Japs, are you interested?"

"Of course, a small group of Japs is a good target for us." Captain Wang laughed: "Even if we can't annihilate them all this time, we still have to cripple them!"

Two months ago, Captain Wang would not have dared to say this to a small team of Japanese soldiers.But now... he has an artillery squad, ten machine guns and ten rifle grenades in one company.With such good equipment in hand, how can he say he is not good at it?
I'm really sorry for the weapon in my hand, I'm sorry for the training during this period, and I'm sorry for Advisor Meng's assistance!
Soon, the soldiers of the Ninth Company gathered at the entrance of the village.Next to the Ninth Company, dozens of people from the district team also gathered over one after another. More than 200 people stood in a large area, but they were clearly distinguishable.

All members of the Ninth Company were wearing camouflage uniforms and steel helmets, with brand-new [-] caps on their backs and half-arm-length hand grenades hanging on their waists.The squad leader carried a shell gun, the deputy squad leader carried a grenade launcher, and the machine gun team stood in another team, a group of three, so impressive.

As for the district team next to them, their military uniforms were not uniform and they came wearing their own clothes.Some were wearing Eighth Route Army caps, and some were wearing captured Japanese trousers. It was a complete hodgepodge.The weapons were also very ugly. Except for a few rifles and pistols of different models, with an average of five bullets, the rest of the people had only a red tassel gun in their hands.

"Company Commander Wang, our district team has just been re-established and we are very poor. You are laughing at us."

"Everything is anti-Japanese. What's so funny." Company Commander Wang shook his head and took a step forward. "Comrades, look at the comrades in the district team. They don't have unified military uniforms or common weapons. They dare to risk their lives against the Japanese with a few red-tasseled guns! Do you admire them?"

The soldiers of the Ninth Company looked sideways, and some veterans even recalled the poorest days of the year.At that time, not to mention that the whole group was unified, it was good if five people could get one gun and three people could get one bullet.

"admire!"

I admire not only the district team, but also myself who lived a hard life back then.

"Well, now the opportunity is right in front of us! The Japanese have a small team, escorting a batch of supplies to be sent to various strongholds in Yushe County. Forget it if we didn't come, but we are standing here now, you know If they can still get past their movements, it would be a dereliction of duty on our part!”

"Annihilate the transport team! Give the weapons of these Japs to the comrades in the district team!" Captain Wang shouted.

The soldiers also shouted: "Annihilate the transport team!"

"set off!"

………………

On the mountain road, the Japanese team leader did not realize the seriousness of the problem.He just looked up in the direction where the gunfire came from and waved his hand impatiently.Without saying too much, a squad leader took the initiative to lead people in that direction.

Another squad leader came over at this moment: "Squad captain, those two Eighth Route Army soldiers are so cunning! With just a few bullets, they wounded two of our warriors, seriously slowing down our progress. "

"If we continue at this rate, not to mention how many casualties we will suffer, it will be difficult for us to complete the mission even at night. There will be supplies for at least three or four strongholds that will not be delivered until tomorrow."

"Then shall we stay in a certain stronghold tonight, or camp in the wild? How will we explain to the squadron leader when we return?"

A series of questions made the squad leader's face so dark that ink dripped from it.He stared at the squad leader who was speaking next to him for more than ten seconds, then slowly turned his head and forced out a sentence through his teeth: "Baga!"

"In addition, it is very dangerous for us to continue to move forward. The Eighth Route Army has been harassing us for so long. If they want to take action, they should have already assembled their troops by this time. If we are attacked halfway, we will lose It’s hard to say how many warriors there are.”

The Japanese team leader nodded in agreement: "What do you mean?"

"Learn from last time. Let's retreat."

The team leader took a breath: "You should know how long that team was laughed at at that time. Even Ono Squadron's group of losers who were defeated by the Eighth Route Army came here to laugh at them, saying that they couldn't even deal with the district team! "

"Do you want to be as shamed as them?"

The team leader yelled, and then he took two deep breaths to calm down: "Keep going! Send as many supplies as you can!"

He didn't know that shame culture needs to be used with appropriate moral standards to achieve good results.However, what Japan’s shameful culture matches at this time is the worst choice.
