The Eighth Route Army once set up an ambush here to brutally defeat the Japanese invaders.
Things are different and people are different.
There are no traces of the battle two years ago.
There are still too few artillery.
If there were too many cannonballs, countless large craters would have exploded around it.
Even two years later, the shape is still clearly discernible.
However, if the Eighth Route Army has enough artillery shells, there is no need to set up an ambush here. A little further forward, there is a small basin. It is easier to set up an ambush there.
Easily surround the surroundings. Then slam the cannonball into the middle and call it a day.
Riding horses in a hurry.
"etc!"
"etc!"
Suddenly, Sun Desheng shouted.
Zhang Chu immediately reined in his horse and jumped off the horse.
His riding skills are quite good now and he can control it freely.
The New Regiment successively conquered the two counties of Yuxian and Shexian, and its own basic attributes also benefited a lot.
It's 20% full coverage every time. It looks much better than the sporadic 1%.
Therefore, when fighting a war, we still have to fight a war of annihilation. It is best to attack a city.
Unfortunately, given the current situation, the Japanese invaders are constantly strengthening their defenses. There is no chance to capture the city or territory for the time being.
"what's the situation?"
"There is a dead man."
A body was found in the grass ditch below.
Wearing casual clothes. Unable to estimate his identity. Think he might be a bandit?
Judging from the tiger's mouth, shoulder sockets and other places, there are calluses. It is certain that he is definitely a person who often touches guns.
The estimated time of death is about four days.
Sun Desheng dug out the warhead with a bayonet and found that it was a 7.62mm Mosin Nagant rifle bullet.
"It's Shui Lianzhu."
"Maybe it's ten grains fast."
"right!"
Both of them have renewed hope.
If it was the Ten Grain Kuai (common name for the SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle), it might have been Zhao Gang and the others.
Because the security squad led by Zhao Gang is all equipped with SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles.
Among them, there are at least five sniper types of SVT-40 semi-automatic rifles with scopes. One of them belongs to Zhao Gang himself.
There are fifteen people in the guard squad. They are all veterans with combat experience and their marksmanship is also good.
Not to mention Zhao Gang himself. Among the cadres above the company level, his marksmanship is the best.
It was precisely because they had good marksmanship and sophisticated weapons that Li Yunlong let Zhao Gang set off with confidence.
Unexpectedly, something happened.
But Zhang Chu was not too worried. He felt that Zhao Gang still had hope.
At least, it is impossible for all sixteen of them to die. Even if they encounter a strong enemy, some of them will definitely escape.
Sixteen semi-automatic rifles.
Five of them are sniper rifles.
Each man also carried at least 120 rounds of ammunition.
This is a lot of firepower.
If you can't fight, can you still escape? There is no reason...
It is about three hundred miles from Ping'an County to Cangyun Ridge. There are many activities of our army nearby.
As long as you encounter a guerrilla group at random, there is hope of survival.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Suddenly, another gunshot was heard from ahead.
Everyone suddenly became energetic.
It seems to be the sound of the SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle?
Political Commissar Zhao may be right in front of you!
"Walk!"
Sun Desheng immediately got on his horse.
Everyone hurried forward and formed a battle formation at the same time.
result……
A bit unexpected.
I didn't see Zhao Gang. I saw a guerrilla team instead.
The guerrillas were escorting a dozen bandits from south to north. That is, they were just walking in front of them.
A closer look revealed that the person taking the lead was still an acquaintance.
Duan Jiuge of Duanjiagou, the patriarch of Duan Peng? Anyway, he is the talker of Duanjiagou.
"who!"
Duan Jiuge and the others hurriedly turned back.
Raise the gun at the same time.
After seeing clearly the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army, he lowered his muzzle.
Then I saw Zhang Chu and immediately became even more happy.
"Consultant Zhang!"
"Mr. Duan!"
Zhang Chu greeted the other party warmly.
At the same time, he quickly jumped off his horse.
I found that Duan Jiuge had brought a lot of people. There were about thirty people in total.
They are all young adults. They are all relatively tall and tall. They are almost as good as Duan Peng.
I was immediately filled with joy.
This is the best source of troops!
If you are good at martial arts, you can definitely form a special forces team.
Although there are already three commandos named Xiaolong, Storm, and Thunder, they always feel that they are still a little short of the real special forces...
Asked about the situation.
It is indeed the newly formed Duanjiagou guerrillas.
The weapons used were the Dapanji and Mosin-Nagant rifles that Zhang Chu had left for them.
Because the Mosin-Nagant rifle and the SVT-40 semi-automatic rifle use the same bullets, Zhang Chu misunderstood that they were shooting with the Mosin-Nagant rifle just now.
Why shoot?
But it was a warning to the captured gangsters.
The guerrillas did not encounter Japanese invaders or puppet troops. Instead, they encountered a group of sneaky guys. So they arrested them.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is...
"Mr. Duan, do they know martial arts?"
"Metropolis."
"All of them?"
"Everything will happen!"
"How does it compare with Duan Peng?"
"Pretty much. Duan Peng is the worst among them."
"real?"
"real."
"Thank you so much!"
Zhang Chu was immediately elated.
More than thirty Duan Peng!
It’s so cool!
Monk Wei can't be copied like that. But Duan Peng can!
Monk Wei is alone. Behind Duan Peng is the entire Duanjiagou. There are more than 700 people in Duanjiagou.
However, the dead man found earlier has nothing to do with the Duanjiagou guerrillas.
They also just passed by Shentou Ridge.
"By the way, you are..."
"The district committee instructed us to go out and do some exercise and exercise."
"Who are these people?"
"They are not locals. They came in from outside. They don't look like good people."
"Outlander?"
Zhang Chu walked over doubtfully.
He took out his shell gun and waved it at several gangsters.
Sun Desheng suddenly said: "No need to read."
"Why?"
"They are the subordinates of Guo Shanfeng."
"What kind of mountain wind?"
"A bandit leader. He has always been active east of the railway. He has a close relationship with Shi Yousan. Later he also defected to the Japanese. I don't know how he ended up here."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Chu frowned thoughtfully.
He seemed to have thought of something, but it wasn't very clear.
However, since Sun Desheng said so, there should be nothing wrong.
So he brought a few people out for interrogation.
Now that their identity has been identified, they don't dare to continue to hide it.
"We are here for Zhang Chu."
"Our boss said that as long as you kill Zhang Chu, you can get five hundred taels of gold!"
A gangster said honestly.
Zhang Chu's eyes suddenly widened with anger. He couldn't help but slap his thigh hard.
"Snapped!"
Everyone was surprised.
What was Zhang Chu's reaction? It was so intense.
angry?
Actually not.
It’s the middlemen who make the difference! They make it too hard!
The price offered by Yoshio Shinozuka was obviously ten thousand taels of gold! You only gave me five hundred taels!
black!
too dark!
It made Zhang Chu want to beat up this passerby.
There was obviously a reward of 10,000 taels of gold, but you said it was only a mere 500 taels. Don’t I want to lose face?
"do what?"
"it's okay no problem."
Zhang Chu shook his head.
Take a deep breath.
not angry.
not angry.
I am worth ten thousand taels!
The reward offered by the Japanese is also 10,000 taels! Even less than one tael will not do!
"Others are here for you."
"knew."
"I guess besides Guo Shanfeng, there will be other people who want to join in the fun."
“No one will be refused!”
Zhang Chu made an understatement.
He is really not afraid.
It would be great if someone came! Mosquito meat is also meat!
Although a rifle is not valuable, it is not too much. Not to mention that it can be remade.
Even the most shabby old sleeve can turn decay into magic in his hands.
If you remanufacture it, you can get a brand new Mauser 98k.
Or a brand new Mosin Nagant.
Or a brand new Yingqiqi.
It can even be a brand new horse with four rings. Or a Mosin Nagant short lance.
In short, as long as you don't upgrade the semi-automatic rifle or the sniper rifle, you don't need to spend any money. It's like picking it up in vain.
...Oh, he is a trash guy to begin with!
"Say, who else?"
"We don't know. Really don't know."
"Old man, take a few people and escort them to the local army. In addition, send a few people who can ride horses to follow me."
"good!"
Duan Jiuge readily agreed.
It's a pity that not many of them who practice martial arts can ride a horse.
There are many people in Duanjiagou, but not many war horses.
After all, a war horse consumes a lot of money. Most people can't afford it.
Finally, a total of ten people were selected.
The leader is called Duan Kun. He is Duan Peng's cousin. According to Duan Jiuge, he can beat two Duan Peng.
This is perfect.
The cavalry company has spare horses, which are just in time for use.
"By the way, have you met Political Commissar Zhao?"
"Which political commissar Zhao?"
"He is the political commissar of our new regiment."
"No. We haven't encountered any regular Eighth Route Army troops since we came out."
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Chu interrogated the gangsters again.
The answer was the same no. They arrived here yesterday afternoon.
I wanted to take a rest here, then inquire about the situation, and then make plans. As a result, I encountered the Duanjiagou guerrillas.
The firepower of the Duanjiagou guerrillas was very fierce. They actually had three light machine guns!
Seeing that he couldn't fight, he had to surrender.
"yesterday afternoon……"
Zhang Chu was thoughtful.
Zhao Gang can't ride a horse.
The security team he led also didn't know how to ride a horse.
Strictly speaking, it was Li Yunlong who refused to teach political commissar Zhao how to ride a horse for fear of falling and getting hurt.
Zhao Gang himself does not think that riding a horse is a necessary skill.
He is the political commissar. If there is an emergency military situation, Li Yunlong will handle it.
In fact, Li Yunlong can't ride a horse either. But he can't stand up to his fast legs!
It takes about four days to walk from Pingan County to Cangyunling. Therefore, Zhao Gang and the others should have passed by here long ago.
After all, according to the pre-arranged time, he should have arrived at the brigade headquarters two days ago.
It seems that there should be no news here.
"But..." a gangster suddenly hesitated, "there are often kidnapping activities here."
It turns out that the so-called kidnappers are gangsters on horseback.
Zhang Chu didn't know much about these slangs. However, Sun Desheng knew it very well, so he left it to Sun Desheng to ask.
What did Sun Desheng ask?
What are you asking? He picked up the riding crop and beat him violently.
Then……
All circumstances have come out.
The gangsters almost betrayed their parents.
Zhang Chu:......
All right!
I will do the same next time.
Don’t ask first. Beat him first.
It turned out that these bandits did encounter a group of cavalry bandits. There were about fifty people. They were subordinates of Xuantian Yiyun in the northwest.
This cloud in the Xuantian sky in the northwest is a myth in the world. But there is indeed such a person. His whereabouts are erratic. Sun Desheng only knows his name, but he has never met him before.
However, it is impossible for Yi Yiyun's men to attack sixteen regular Eighth Route Army troops.
unless……
For ten thousand taels of gold!
People die for money, and birds die for food. It’s not surprising that some people are crazy.
"Walk!"
Zhang Chu led the cavalry company and continued on the road.
Suddenly, cavalry also appeared in front.
Hey!
What a bunch of gangsters!
There are about thirty people and more than forty horses.
"stop!"
"what for?"
Sun Desheng yelled immediately.
However, the other party realized that something was wrong and immediately stepped aside.
Yes, there is a ghost!
Zhang Chu immediately raised his gun.
"Snapped!"
Kill one with one shot.
"Snapped!"
Killed another one.
But the other gangster cavalry ran extremely fast.
In the end, only fifteen were killed or wounded. All the others escaped.
Can't chase.
Their mission is to find Zhao Gang.
The injured people were arrested and interrogated. Unexpectedly, they learned that these people were Yi Yiyun's subordinates.
They did see sixteen Eight-Roaders.
They also tried to take action, but then gave up.
Because they saw that the guns in the hands of the Eighth Route Army had scopes.
They also know the goods and know that guns with scopes are not simple.
"and after?"
"later……"
"explain!"
"Later, they entered the station of the 358th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army."
"What?"
Zhang Chu was slightly startled.
The 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army? Isn’t that Chu Yunfei?
