Chapter 112 Returning the Gift to the Head
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Zhou Cheng led the team back to the station.
Every soldier returned with a full load, some carried food on their backs, and some carried broken 38 large covers and crooked handles on their backs. This was something that Tang Yufeng hid outside the station yesterday. Zhou Cheng brought it back "on the way" as evidence that the troops eliminated more than 100 Japanese devils.
Li Honghui, who was born in the Military Control Commission, was shocked.
He knew that the troops went to the west of the city last night just to perform a show and would not really go to war.
So the weapons brought back by the troops were definitely not seized last night.
There is only one possibility, the Third Camp also has a secret warehouse that he doesn't know.
He wanted to figure it out, but Zhou Cheng didn't give him this opportunity: "Deputy Battalion Commander Li, our battalion headquarters is the only one from the headquarters. We report the victory to the headquarters. I will give you the task of transporting spoils. I hope you will keep an eye on the headquarters just like last time and get back the rewards and supplies we have given to us as soon as possible!"
Li Honghui knew that this was Zhou Cheng's intention, and the purpose was not to let himself stay at the station all the time.
Once you take on this task, you will have to go to the headquarters every day in the next few days.
The two places have dozens of miles back and forth, and a day has passed, and there is almost no time to perform their secret missions at the station.
He wanted to refuse, but the battalion commander made a good argument and blocked all his retreat, so he could only nod and agree.
At the Zhangzhuang Town National Salvation Army Headquarters, the guard company commander had not yet run in, his voice had already reached Wang Dehou's ears.
"Commander...good news, the Third Battalion won another big victory last night!"
"The spoils have been sent, Deputy Battalion Commander Li personally led the team. There are seventy or eighty pieces of broken 38 bulbs, and they have arrived at the entrance of the town."
Wang Dehou and Huang Yonggui looked at each other and both saw excitement in each other's eyes.
I am very happy to order: "Let the guard company help you and send the spoils to the headquarters immediately."
"Chief of Staff, you personally lead someone to count the results of the battle, report this good news to the peak in the shortest time, and send the spoils up together!"
At the command of the Japanese Army Garrison Brigade in Pingding County, Major Fujita also received news of the attack on two local armed forces in the west of the city at the same time.
Staring at the intelligence staff, he asked with disbelief: "Say it again, who raided the two local armed forces in the west of the city?"
"It is the first and second battalions of the National Salvation Army, each dispatching a company and launching an attack at the same time!" The intelligence consultant answered affirmatively.
"Sir, is it the National Salvation Army that wants to get involved in the west of the city?" The adjutant thought about the analysis.
"Information shows that the first, second and second battalions of the National Salvation Army and the headquarters are all stationed in Zhangzhuang Town. They have been recruiting new soldiers and expanding their troops during this period. Zhangzhuang Town is only that big, and it will definitely not support so many troops, and there are not so many sources of troops to provide them with."
Major Fujita did not speak with a calm face, but he already recognized the adjutant's judgment in his heart and immediately made a decision: "We must never let the national rescue army get involved in the west of the city!"
"We lacked troops, and all the villages and towns that pacified the other three directions were occupied by the National Salvation Army. If the west of the city was lost, there would be only an isolated city left in the Imperial Army."
"Immediately draw two infantry squads from the city and the Imperial Army of the two companies to marche and reinforce the two strongholds in the west of the city to increase their defense."
"We should also replenish new recruits and supplies and ammunition as soon as possible, and strive to attack the national rescue army as soon as possible, so as not to give them a chance to grow and grow."
When he returned to the third battalion of Donghui Town, Zhou Cheng realized that he had been trapped in the ocean and weapons and ammunition that Li Honghui pulled back.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Li, why did the commendation on Shangfeng come so quickly? It's three days less than last time!"
Li Honghui has been very unhappy these days. He ran back and forth between the station and the headquarters every day and had no time to contact the troops below. If he continued like this, he would definitely not be able to complete the secret mission assigned to him by his superiors.
Fortunately, this time the peak was very powerful. It took only three days to send the reward to the headquarters to complete the task in advance and stay at the base legitimately.
除此以外还有一个好消息跟他有关.
The Shangfeng rewarded the National Rescue Army with a total of 1,000 rifles, two machine guns, a large number of medicines and supporting ammunition.
The commander left halfway and pulled back a total of fifty guns and a light machine gun.
According to the battalion commander's previous promise, all these weapons and ammunition will be equipped with the Ninth Company.
A few days ago, he had already talked with the company commander of the Ninth Company and revealed a little about his identity and secret mission.
The ninth company commander Zhong Jie, like Chen Zhengyu, was born in the Northwest Army and then became the Jinsui Army.
Because he was not a direct lineman and had no background, he could not survive anywhere, so he was finally sent to the National Salvation Army.
I finally met someone like Chen Honghui who had a background and was willing to give him a hand. I was definitely grateful and decided to be the only one who could only follow Li Honghui's lead.
As long as the battalion commander fulfills his promise and equips the Ninth Company with fifty guns and a light machine gun, so that they can form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, he will no longer be the commander of the third battalion.
With the support of the troops, I will definitely have more confidence to complete the secret tasks assigned to me by my superiors.
When Chen Honghui thought of this, he felt as happy as if he had eaten honey.
But on the surface, he still had a calm expression. This is a habit developed by being a spy for a long time. He can't do anything. Seeing Zhou Cheng calmly explain: "Our army retreats step by step on the front battlefield, and we urgently need a victory to inspire the morale of the army."
"It is time for us to report the victory. In order to inspire the morale of the troops, we decided to seriously injure the national rescue army as soon as possible, and to reward our oceans, weapons and ammunition will be allocated as soon as possible."
Chen Honghui kept thinking about the weapons and ammunition he brought back.
I was afraid that the battalion commander would find some reason to hold them off, so I dared not give Zhou Cheng any chance to speak. After saying that, I continued: "Battery Commander, you said before that the headquarters will allocate all weapons and ammunition from the third battalion in the future to the Ninth Company until the Ninth Company is fully organized."
"Do I want to send these weapons to the Ninth Company directly?"
周成知道陈宏辉的小心思,也不点破.
He had already thought of a way to deal with the Ninth Company, and there was no need to have a quarrel with Chen Honghui on these small issues.
He nodded without hesitation: "Yes, you can send it to the Ninth Company directly. I will ask Deputy Battalion Commander Chen to send it to me for a while. You tell me that I have given him the troops and equipment. Within two months, I must bring me a unit that can fight, otherwise he, the company commander, will not do it."
Chen Honghui was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhou Cheng to agree so readily, so he quickly replied: "Don't worry, battalion commander, I will tell Company Commander Zhong what you just said."
There is another sentence I didn't say: If Jiulian's combat effectiveness is too poor, he will not agree.
Chapter completed!
