The deputy brigade commander stood outside the garrison command center, nervous and expectant.

In his opinion, after Wang Dehou had an accident, as the confidant of the brigade commander, he would naturally take over as the brigade commander, and there would be no accidents in the middle.

A few minutes later, the deputy captain of the garrison came out.

The deputy brigade commander quickly came over and asked with a flattering look on his face: "Taijun, did you let me in?"

The deputy captain shook his head: "The chief has something to do now and I don't want to see you, but I have an order for you!"

"In view of the missing of the brigade commander Wang Dehou of the brigade, his life and death are unknown, the second regiment of the brigade of the brigade was destroyed in Zhangzhuang Town, and the garrison decided..."

Hearing this, the deputy brigade commander was already happy, and he was even more sure of his judgment just now, believing that the deputy brigade commander would appoint him as the brigade commander next.

The compliments and loyalty words were already on the lips, and the deputy captain said it out just after he finished speaking the order.

But the deputy captain's next order surprised him, and in shock he had the idea of ​​killing people.

"The reduced-organization of the brigade is the brigade. If you become the regiment commander, all the Imperial Army troops in the city will be handed over to the brigade for unified reorganization. The missing soldiers will start recruiting new soldiers around the county town tomorrow, and they will reach full status within five days. Otherwise, military law will be carried out!"

"Why, hasn't the security brigade just been formed? How long has it been removed?" The deputy brigade commander asked unwillingly.

The deputy captain frowned and explained: "Because the security brigade has died in name only!"

"Our brigade commander was also punished by superiors for the security brigade. Do you think it still needs to exist? Or do you want to disobey the commander's order and do not want to reduce the security brigade to the security brigade?"

"Don't calm down, I absolutely don't have this intention!" The deputy brigade commander quickly explained and then assured the deputy captain.

"Please tell the captain that the brigade commander is guaranteed to be fully equipped within five days, but... the weapons and ammunition that the troops lack need to be provided by the Imperial Army!"

The deputy captain nodded and ordered: "The captain has prepared a battalion equipment for you. If you recruit all the new recruits, you can go to the arsenal to get it!"

"Thank you, Taijun!" The deputy brigade commander quickly answered.

After saying this, he ran to the brigade and brigade department. No, now he should call the brigade headquarters. He needs to digest the news that the deputy captain just brought to him.

I turned out to be the commander of the Imperial Army. I finally had a good thing like the expansion of the Imperial Army's brigade, but I only became a nameless deputy brigade commander, and was suppressed by Wang Dehou, afraid that Wang Dehou would be swallowed up by Wang Dehou.

Now that Wang Dehou is dead, he thought that his day to succeed was coming, but the security brigade was actually reduced to a security regiment, and he was also demoted from deputy brigade commander to a regiment commander.

After working so long, I didn't get anything. The leader was still the leader, and I was in vain...

The former headquarters of the National Rescue Army in Zhangzhuang Town has now become the first battalion of the National Rescue Army.

After all the company commanders returned to their own troops, Dong Fei did not leave and reported in a low voice: "Commander, after we took down Zhangzhuang Town, we learned from the captive puppet troops that most of the military pay embezzled by Huang Yonggui and Wang Dehou in the national rescue army was hidden in the town."

"Before you come, I interrogated Huang Yonggui and his personal guards and found the cellar where they hid money, which was full of oceans and gold, worth at least ten thousand yuan."

"Just a lot of people just now, I was afraid that the news would be leaked, so I didn't report it. I specially sent a squad to guard the cellar entrance. No one except me had been in!"

"How to deal with these seizures specifically? Please give orders!"

"So much!" Zhou Cheng took a deep breath.

You should know that the National Salvation Army has only been in two or three months since its establishment. The headquarters has only two battalions. After so much benefit, you can imagine how cruel they are to plunder the troops in their daily lives.

Dong Fei explained: "Commander, I learned that part of these oceans and gold is the income from the two people embezzled military pay and military food expenses, and part of it is the benefits gained from the town."

"In addition to being the commander of the National Salvation Army, Wang Dehou was also the county magistrate who pacified the anti-Japanese government and had the right to appoint the mayors of each town."

"The way he appointed the mayor is very simple. Whoever gives him more money will be the mayor. He will charge thousands of dollars for all kinds of benefits!"

Zhou Cheng finally showed a sudden enlightenment and thought of the order: "Old Chen, you personally arrange someone to keep an eye on this batch of funds. I will let Lao Tang come and transport it away after dark."

"Don't leak the weapons and ammunition seized today. All soldiers who know the specific situation are closed. We claim to the public that two or three hundred guns were seized on the battlefield, and all the remaining weapons were destroyed."

"I want to send this funds and weapons and ammunition to the division headquarters, so they cannot be included in the accounts of our National Salvation Army or into the warehouse!"

"When the deputy brigade commander sent by the war zone is in place, there is no weapon or record, there is no reason for him to cause trouble for us!"

Zhou Cheng was not afraid of the deputy brigade commander sent by the war zone, and was confident that he would be able to be submissive in a short period of time. However, the national army still needed to support the big tree in the war zone in a short period of time, so that the relationship between the two sides would not be rigid.

Although the superiors are already very dissatisfied with themselves, as long as they can show their military achievements that convince them, the war zone will not treat themselves badly for their reputation, and they will not be short of weapons, ammunition and oceans that they should give.

Therefore, it is best not to let the other party find their own handle before the National Salvation Army breaks completely.

Chen Zhengyu nodded seriously: "Don't worry, commander, I'll make arrangements now!"

As soon as Chen Zhengyu left, Zhou Chengru called his most trusted guard. After a few words, the guard quickly left Zhangzhuang Town...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Shengbo, the newly established reconnaissance company commander, suddenly ran to Zhangzhuang Town, and reported with an unhappy look: "Commander, the county town has just dispatched more than 20 scouts, all equipped with war horses. After leaving the city, they are divided into two. Most of the scouts ran around us to move, and a small number of scouts went to Donghui Town!"

"I originally wanted to practice with them and seize two war horses by the way, but these Japanese were as cunning as foxes and would not fight us at all."

"I saw us surround us and ran away, but I never evacuated Zhangzhuang Town and kept moving two kilometers away from us!"

After hearing this, Zhou Cheng didn't feel something was wrong.

He took Zhangzhuang Town himself, wiped out all the garrisons, and robbed a large amount of weapons and ammunition that the brigade had just sent out of the county town. The Japanese must figure out what was going on outside the city.

Send troops out of the city to investigate, and you can use the shortest time to figure out the daytime battle.

But Zhou Cheng didn't like his every move being monitored by the Japanese. Otherwise, how could he raid the Japanese and catch them off guard?

After thinking for a while, the order was: "The reconnaissance cavalry that must not be able to run four legs on both legs. Although you are also qualified as war horses, you only learn how to ride horses and have not yet learned how to fight immediately. You will definitely suffer a great loss after pursuing rashly!"

"But it's not impossible to deal with them."

"You can't run a cavalry with two legs, bullets can!"

"You go and find Battalion Commander Chen and ask him to draw five or six machine gun squads for you. After determining the specific location of the Japanese scouts, three or four scouts will be equipped with a machine gun squad and touch them from afar!"

"If the Japanese want to escape, they will fire with machine guns. If they fail to hit the Japanese, they will fight the war horses! Although it is a pity, it is better than letting the Japanese run away."

"Send someone back to Donghui Town to find Deputy Commander Tang, ask the Fourth Company to dispatch it, and use my method just now to deal with the Japanese scouts there!"

Tang Shengbo, who got the solution, laughed on the spot, wishing he could go to the battlefield to try it now, and quickly replied: "Thank you, Commander, I'll make arrangements now..."

Although Zhangzhuang Town is located on a plain, there are rolling hills two kilometers away.

The Japanese scouts did not dare to go to the plains because they were used as a living target for the heavy machine guns of the National Salvation Army.

A total of sixteen scouts were divided into eight reconnaissance teams, in groups of two and two, and were active at the junction of hills and plains.

The terrain here is relatively flat. Each reconnaissance team divides labor and cooperates. One Japanese warns and the other Japanese observes Zhangzhuang Town to ensure that there are no enemies within two hundred meters around.

This distance has exceeded the range of all riflesmen, and it is impossible to hit the target unless they are specialized snipers.

That's true.

Just now, many soldiers of the National Salvation Army wanted to encircle and suppress them, but were discovered just after approaching two hundred meters.

The Japanese retreated on a fast horse as soon as possible, and the National Rescue Army could only follow behind and fire empty guns.

After successfully avoiding the two sieges of purchases, the scouts' vigilance began to decline significantly.

Suddenly, the guard post found a grass moving two hundred meters away.

After a closer look, there was actually a person hidden under the grass. The two Japanese quickly gave up observation and rushed towards the war horse next to them.

In less than five seconds, the two Japanese were already riding war horses and preparing to escape.

The scouts two hundred meters away were not vegetarians, and they learned from their mistakes. When the Japanese moved, they also began to move.

It rushed out of the hiding point like a leopard. Some people held light machine guns, and some people held rifles, desperately rushed towards the Japanese.

Seeing the Japanese riding a war horse, they stopped decisively.

The rifleman raised his gun and aimed at it. The machine gunman quickly put the gun on the ground, and also aimed at the Japanese who wanted to escape.

"Dadadada...Baba..." The machine gun fired at the same time, and more than ten bullets flew out in fan shapes. Some flew towards the Japanese, and some flew towards war horses.

"Boom..." As soon as a cavalry started running, the war horse was hit by two bullets. A neighing sounded, and the body weighing hundreds of pounds fell to the ground. The cavalry was also smashed to the ground, and one leg was pressed on the belly of the war horse.

The machine gunner continued to shoot. After the rifleman shot the bullets in the chamber, he stopped, stood up and rushed forward, running while loading the rifle.

The cavalry is fast, and once they run, the riflemen can't even lock their targets, let alone shoot, so they continue to shoot is a waste of bullets and time. It's better to rush over and deal with the Japanese who were killed by the war horse.

Machine guns are different, they kill people by bullet density.

When the trigger moves, a string of bullets will fly out, killing one by one, and there is no need for precise aiming and shooting. As long as you shoot at the approximate position of the cavalry, a blind cat will hit the target if the mouse hits the mouse. This is also the most important reason why the cavalry is afraid of machine guns.

Two machine guns fired wildly at the escaped Japanese. The effective range of seven or eight hundred meters allowed the machine gun bullets to easily penetrate the Japanese's body at a distance of two or three hundred meters...

"Boom..." Another collision sounded on the battlefield, and the escaped Japanese smashed the ground with their men and horses...
