Bright Sword: Infinite Logistics

Chapter 29 Devil's Transportation Team
Wangjiazhuang stronghold.

boom!
A gunshot was heard in the distance, and the bullet hit the outer wall of the stronghold, drilling a small hole.

"Baga! There will be no end to these Eight Routes!" A Japanese shouted, raising his hands in the air and waving them wildly, looking like he was about to go crazy.

It has been a week since the Japanese and puppet troops in Wuxiang County returned to the city, and the Eighth Route Army outside has become restless.Every few ten minutes or an hour during the day, someone would shoot out from Tuba Road.They hit everything. Some people hit people, but no one hit them. They hit bottles and cans, clothes and clothes hung out to dry, and shooting holes in strongholds.They beat everything they could see.

At night, they became even more arrogant. Not only did they shoot at a closer distance, but they also occasionally fired volleys in groups, and even used machine guns to fire short bursts.After dawn the next day, you can still find the trenches dug by the Eighth Route Army during the night.

These actions caused no casualties for the time being, but they had a great impact on the lives of the Japanese in the stronghold.For example, a dozen unlucky ones had their beddings riddled with bullet holes while they were being dried; another example is that the entire locust army in the stronghold was suddenly awakened by volleys and machine guns at night - according to experience, this usually happens when the Eighth Route Army launches an attack. Sound has to be guarded against.

After a week, the Japs in the entire stronghold had some nervous breakdown.

"Baga, didn't you say that the Eighth Route Army was short of bullets? Where did they get their bullets? Don't you want money!" Another Japanese shouted.

The other Japs looked at the two people who were yelling. Although they didn't speak, they felt even more agitated.The lack of bullets on the Eighth Route Army is not a lie, but the experience gained after countless battles with the Eighth Route Army.But who knows what's going on with the group of Eight Route Army soldiers outside? They seem to have no shortage of bullets and have been shooting according to their mood.

This made all the devils feel uneasy.

The two Japanese soldiers' voices were so loud that they penetrated the wall and reached the officer's room.Then the squad leader's door opened, and a squad leader came out: "Baga, shut up!"

This was the Japs squad leader who had been targeted a dozen times before but remained unscathed. However, his good luck seemed to lie only in dodging bullets.As soon as he finished speaking, there was another gunshot outside.

"Squad leader, the Eighth Route Army outside are so arrogant and hateful! Is there any way to eliminate them?" A Japanese soldier asked the question that they all wanted to ask.

"No." The team leader's tone softened: "But it's not without good news. The supplies requested from the county will arrive today. Your bedding can be changed, and there is also a batch of canned beef and vegetables."

This news made the faces of the Japs present soften a lot.Stationing in the stronghold is no better than in the city. The supply of supplies is slow and the conditions are not that good. Most of the food that is edible is food that is easy to transport and store. Canned beef is the best thing among them.When they thought about having something good to eat, the Japs suddenly felt that the gunshots outside didn't seem so unbearable.

But the devils in Wangjiazhuang didn't know that they couldn't eat this meat.
-
Near Hejiannao, a Japanese transport team was moving southward slowly.There were about 120 people in this transport team, using mules to pull dozens of carts.Except for the two detachments of Japs, the rest were all puppet troops.In terms of weapons, there are four machine guns, two grenade launchers, all of which are Japanese [-] guns, while the puppet soldiers mostly have weapons captured from the Chinese and other formalities.

Because the Eighth Route Army repeatedly attacked Japanese transport teams, the Japanese were also on guard.For example, hoarding materials to various strongholds to reduce the number of transportation times, such as transporting materials to multiple strongholds at the same time to ensure the scale of the transportation team.This transport team stopped at the Weizhuang stronghold for a while not long ago, and now it will continue south to Wangjiazhuang.

These methods have indeed had a certain effect, and many local troops and militia armed transport teams may suffer heavy casualties.Of course, this also means that once the transport team is robbed, the material and personnel losses will not be small.

"Is Hejiannao ahead?" The Japanese squad leader held a map and asked a puppet platoon leader next to him.

The puppet platoon leader looked at the map and showed an awkward but polite smile: "Taijun, I don't know, I can't read the map." This is true. In order to improve the combat effectiveness of the Imperial Alliance Army, the Japanese deliberately did this He went to several military academies, but the first batch of trainees didn't graduate until September 39. Counting the time to recruit young men, it took October to become an army.In other words, 9% of the current officers of the Imperial Association Army are idiots.

The Japanese team leader twitched his lips, looked at the map in his hand, and confirmed it again.

This Japanese soldier belonged to the Imagawa Squadron. He had just arrived in Wuxiang and was responsible for transportation on this route for the first time. He was not familiar with the area at all and relied entirely on maps.These puppet troops are not from nearby areas, but are drawn from other areas. Last time they left the city, this group of puppet troops happened to be the small group that stayed behind.

"No matter, this road should be right." The team leader looked at the map again and chose to trust his ability to read maps.

However, since you are not familiar with the road, caution is a must.

"You guys, send two squads to search along both sides of the road to see if there are any ambushes. The transport team will follow."

"Yes, yes." The puppet platoon leader left, and then ordered two squads to go forward to explore the way.

The puppet troops and transport teams exploring the road ahead were not far away, about 50 meters away.At first, these puppet soldiers were able to search carefully. After walking for about [-] meters, they started chatting with each other, and the search became a casual look. As long as they glanced over and saw no one, they were safe.

"The stupid Japanese have asked us to come out to explore the road every time. They are afraid that we will not die. This is..."

"You can eat a day's food and do a day's work."

"Are you still looking seriously? Isn't it bad to be a foreigner? If you are lucky, you won't find anything until the Eighth Route Army comes. If you are not lucky, they will really search the Eighth Route Army. You, the special girl, will hardly even have a chance to surrender. You said you searched What kind of energy is that?"

"You're stupid. I'm really grateful to the Japanese. If you ask me, I wouldn't tell him even if I saw the Eighth Route Army. We work for the Japanese every day. When will we see the Japanese die once?"

"Yang Laosan, are you remembering the grudge against the Japanese for slapping you?"

Several puppet soldiers were chatting animatedly and did not notice an observation post not far away.

"Batalion Commander, the Japanese have entered our ambush circle."

"It's a pity that time is too tight, otherwise I have to give these Japs a taste of landmines." Geng Jingshan, commander of the third battalion of the New Regiment, rolled up the map and handed it to the guard beside him: "Let's go to the Eighth Company's position to see look."

Unbeknownst to this transport team, the Third Battalion of the New Regiment had been squatting nearby for several days.When they stopped in Weizhuang, the nearby militiamen had already found the third battalion commander and reported their whereabouts.
