Anti-Japanese Jagged General

Chapter 35 The Commander's Expectations
Just when the captain was about to curse to vent his anger, another second lieutenant hurried over.

"Captain, there is a situation. We found the trail left by Tuba Road when he retreated outside the village."

The team leader choked back the scolding he was about to say, and then stared at the team leader and asked, "In which direction, are you sure it was left behind by the retreat of the Tuba Road main force, and not deliberately left by them to deceive others! "

"Hi, humble job confirmation!" The captain said very affirmatively.

"There are not a few hundred people, so you can't step on that kind of crowd. Also, you can go into the mountain by walking more than 30 miles in that direction. There is a village called Luojiawan in the mountain. Because the village is small, there are few people. Imperial forces are coming there!"

"The imperial army has searched around Lingqiu for so long without encountering the main force of the Eighth Route Army, so their main force must have hidden in the mountains. And Luojia Bay, which the imperial army rarely visits, is probably the entrance and exit of the Tuba Road into and out of the mountain!"

After staring at the map for a full minute, the captain showed a firm expression on his face, and then ordered.

"Assemble the whole army, you go to the front and lead the team to chase the Tuba Road! They have brought a lot of weapons and equipment, so they must not go fast. If you are lucky, you may be able to follow them to find the headquarters of the Tuba Road!"

The mighty team had just walked less than a kilometer when an explosion sounded at the front of the team.

The captain soon got a report that the vanguard had encountered a booby trap set up by the Eighth Route Army. Unfortunately, three imperial warriors had been caught and were killed and injured on the marching road.

The captain was not angry at this time, not only not angry, but also a little excited.

While ordering the engineers to assist the vanguard team to help in the front, he urged the troops to speed up their march.

There are landmines on the road, which makes the captain more sure of his previous judgment, and he is chasing the main force of Tuba Road.If one is not good, the headquarters of the Tuba Road First Army Division may be found and destroyed by oneself.

On the official road about two kilometers away from the devils, more than 20 Eighth Route Army troops were also heading towards Luojiawan.

Hearing the explosion behind him, Zhong Yusheng's eyes lit up, and he shouted excitedly: "Commander, the devil must have been caught by a booby trap we set up, but I don't know how many devils were killed and injured by the bombing!"

"There must be no less than two! The devil's grenade is not comparable to a grenade. Once it explodes, it will be dozens of fragments, covering several meters around!" Wang Ping replied confidently.

But not long after, Wang Ping reminded him in turn.

"The booby traps are easy to use, but they can't be used too much. The little devil is not a fool, and he can't be fooled again and again. Therefore, when arranging booby traps, only two at most can be placed in one place, and each place should be farther apart. Otherwise, the devils will directly abandon the official path and move to the nearby farmland, and our base area will suffer a great loss!"

Nearly 20 devils chased Wang Ping and his party of more than [-] people, stopped and stopped, and killed them towards Luojiawan.

After rushing for six or seven hours in a row, the Luther guard company finally returned to the headquarters.

Hearing that the guard company that went out to fight has returned, Yang Chengwu didn't pay much attention at first.

But when he heard that Wang Ping hadn't come back, and the row that came back brought back a large amount of seizures.Because the troops took the initiative to attack, Yang Chengwu, who had nothing to do, immediately became interested.Then he took the guards and went straight to the guard company station not far away.

As soon as he reached the door, Yang Chengwu bumped into Zhang Qing who came to report to the headquarters.

The excitement on Zhang Qing's face can be imagined when he saw the commander who was hard to see.

"Commander, I am Zhang Qing, the platoon leader of the security company. I have something very important to report. Our company commander asked me to meet you and report to you in person!"

During this period of time, Wang Ping surprised himself again and again. The news that Wang Ping paid so much attention to it must be good news.

This was Yang Chengwu's first thought, and then he stared at Zhang Qing and asked expectantly: "Zhang Qing, I know you, so you are a squad leader of the recruit company! If you have any news, just tell me, I will listen!"

"Yes, Commander!" The excited Zhang Qing quickly replied.

"It was seized. We seized a batch of very important materials outside the mountain. Our company commander asked me to hand them over to you in person?"

"Could it be a cannon, but I didn't hear that you brought the cannon back?" Yang Chengwu asked subconsciously.

Zhang Qing quickly replied: "There are guns, and they are 81mm mortars used by the little devil, but they were left outside the mountain by the company commander. We only brought back a hundred mortar shells!"

Yang Chengwu didn't believe it at first, and then asked back with surprise on his face: "You really captured the mortar, and there are shells!"

"Yes, Commander!" Zhang Qing affirmed with pride.

"One mortar, 150 shells. One heavy machine gun, 2 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition. Then there are three crooked handles, two grenade launchers, seventy or eighty three-eight big caps, and another [-] Lots of bullets!"

"So many!" Yang Chengwu had another incredible expression on his face.

But thinking of Wang Ping's past achievements, Yang Chengwu felt relieved.Then he seemed to have forgotten the agreement he had made with Wang Ping, and he was very happy to order: "Sure enough, Wang Ping did not disappoint me, Chief of Staff, you go to the guard company to count the results of the battle. The weapons brought back by Zhang Qing should be equipped with the guard company first. Heavy machine guns and mortars, wait for Wang Ping to come back to discuss the issue of handing over."

When the chief of staff was about to leave, Zhang Qing reacted suddenly, and then hurriedly reported: "Commander, what I want to say is more important than mortars and heavy machine guns!"

"It's medicine, silver dollars, and gold. The medicine is all for gunshot wounds, and there are many anti-inflammatory medicines."

"What you said is true? You really seized the medicine!" The excited Yang Chengwu grabbed Zhang Qing by the collar, then stared at Zhang Qing and asked back, fearing that Zhang Qing's words were all false, or he heard wrong.

Zhang Qing quickly replied: "There is no doubt about it. Medicines, silver dollars, gold, and the devil's surgical tools, we all packed them back in boxes, and they are just outside the headquarters. Commander, you can ask people to check them at any time!"

"Okay, I'll go see it now. Also, call me Dr. Zhang from the field hospital immediately, hurry up!"

Because he didn't know medicine, Yang Chengwu first looked at silver dollars and gold.

Looking at the gold and silver in the box, the chief of staff whose eyes were shining brightly next to him immediately affirmed: "Commander, these gold and silver are worth at least 500 silver dollars, and if they are exchanged for food, they will be enough for our military division to eat for half a year! "
