If it were before, Ma Rulong and the others would definitely think it was too much. Very much.
The first reaction is to immediately disengage.
Once entangled by the other party, the consequences will be disastrous.
But at this moment, I felt that five hundred Japanese invaders were too few and the fighting was not enough.
Nothing else.
The guys in my hands are different.
It used to be a bolt-action rifle. It didn't have many bullets.
Now it's a semi-automatic rifle. It also has a scope.
There are enough bullet tubes.
It can't eat you at once. But it can definitely hold the Japanese invaders back and then eat them bite by bite.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Kill a few and then ride away.
Take a break and then come back.
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
Killed a few more.
Then he rode away again.
And so on.
Until all the Japanese invaders have been eliminated.
"idiot!"
The advancing Japanese invaders had to stop and build a circular fortification.
They quickly dug individual bunkers and set up light machine guns. As a result, Ma Rulong's cavalry company was not so comfortable.
No matter what kind of cavalry, encountering a light machine gun is a very bad thing.
Moreover, an infantry squadron of the Japanese invaders carried heavy machine guns.
This is even worse.
In front of the Type 92 heavy machine gun, Ma Rulong did not dare to make any mistakes.
With one heavy machine gun, all the cavalry had to retreat obediently.
Unless you are seeking death yourself.
I had to watch from a distance.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Chu did not want to tangle with the Japanese invaders.
Let’s go to Qiuzhuang first and have a look. Maybe there’s an emergency there!
"good!"
Ma Rulong then left with the cavalry company.
Zhang Chu also rode away.
The Japanese invaders breathed a sigh of relief. They organized their troops angrily and continued to advance.
At the same time, use the radio to report the situation to superiors.
The high-level Japanese invaders did not notice any problems and dealt with them according to normal procedures.
Encounters happen almost every day.
Either the Japanese army suffered some losses, or the Eighth Route Army suffered some losses, and they were both used to it.
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
"Ta-ta-ta-ta!"
The sound of horse hooves is like thunder.
Zhang Chu and Ma Rulong finally arrived at Qiuzhuang.
It is said to be Qiuzhuang, but it is actually a small town, or a castle. It is surrounded by high walls.
The courtyard walls are at least three meters high. There are also protruding battlements in many places. They are very strong and can mount machine guns on them.
Everyone lives within the courtyard walls.
There are also various secret passages, tunnels, twists and turns inside the courtyard wall, like a maze. It feels like a war fortress.
No wonder the Japanese invaders have been unable to take it down. It is indeed difficult to chew.
If it must be taken down, a heavy price must be paid.
There was no gunfire.
No one was seen either.
The entire Qiuzhuang was eerily silent.
In addition, the weather was gloomy after the rainy day, making it look a bit eerie.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Zhang Chu raised the Garand and fired into the sky.
As a result, there was still no response inside Qiuzhuang. It seemed as if everyone inside was dead.
"I'll go in and take a look!"
"careful."
Zhang Chu approached Qiuzhuang step by step.
There's no one inside.
The farm door was also open. It was empty inside.
Go in carefully.
It was pitch dark inside. No one was seen.
"They should have evacuated."
"Maybe we got intelligence that the Japanese invaders were coming to attack in a big way."
Ma Rulong concluded.
Zhang Chu frowned.
Only five hundred Japanese invaders are going to withdraw?
I seem to have given Qiu Qianyue a lot of weapons and equipment before. He shouldn't be afraid of five hundred Japanese invaders.
Suddenly my mind moved.
But there was a prompt on the recycling radar. A small dark red dot entered.
There are a few small red dots next to it and a large number of small yellow dots. There is no doubt that they are Japanese invaders.
But they are not coming from the direction of the five hundred Japanese invaders just now. They are coming from the other side. They should be another group of Japanese invaders. The number is currently unknown.
Judging from their marching direction, their destination should also be Qiuzhuang.
"There are Japanese invaders in the southwest."
"Send someone to take a look."
Zhang Chu said to Ma Rulong.
Ma Rulong immediately arranged for people to conduct reconnaissance.
Soon after, the scout reported that there were also four to five hundred Japanese coming here.
Zhang Chu:......
not bad!
The Japanese invaders actually attacked from two directions?
Five hundred people over there, five hundred people over here, that's a thousand people.
With so many Japanese invaders coming to attack, Qiuzhuang is indeed in danger. For safety reasons, it is understandable to evacuate in advance.
After all, if you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.
Unless the Japanese invaders are cruel and want to raze all Qiuzhuang to the ground...
Suddenly, the recycling radar alerted again.
There are also a large number of Japanese invaders approaching from the northeast.
Frowning secretly.
What are the three Japanese armies going to do when they gather at Qiuzhuang at the same time?
After all, Qiuzhuang is just a slightly larger village. It is not considered a strategic location. There is no need for the Japanese invaders to be so vicious, right?
"The Japs also have two infantry cannons."
Report on going out to spy on the Japanese in the Northeast.
Zhang Chu's eyes flashed.
Three roads of devils, three directions. The distance between them is actually quite far.
From a tactical point of view, the Japanese invaders could easily be divided and surrounded by this method of advance, and then annihilated one by one.
Alas, it's a pity. We have too few people.
If you have one or two groups...
These three devils will definitely not be able to escape.
I don’t know where the 43rd and 44th regiments are currently.
"Report!"
"Members of the 43rd and 44th regiments have been discovered!"
"They are all at Niuzhuang."
At this moment, the good news came.
After all, they are cavalry. They can gallop quickly and find people quickly.
After walking around Li County, we finally found the brother troops. In fact, they were not far from Li County.
Just for the sake of caution, the troops did not approach Li County. Instead, they were stationed secretly in Niuzhuang.
"Ma Rulong!"
"arrive!"
"Occupy Qiuzhuang first!"
"yes!"
"I will lead the 43rd and 44th regiments to attack you from both inside and outside in a moment to eliminate the incoming Japanese invaders."
"good!"
Ma Rulong suddenly became excited.
They guarded Qiuzhuang, luring the Japanese invaders to attack, and pretending that there were still people inside.
Then, a large force of the Eighth Route Army counterattacked and surrounded us from the outside.
good very good!
Just in time to round up the Japanese invaders.
"By the way, if there are still people nearby, call them all to Qiuzhuang!"
"I'll give you weapons and ammunition for five hundred men!"
Zhang Chu continued.
With only 50 people like Ma Rulong, they will definitely not be able to defend it.
You have to find a way to find someone.
There may be other people nearby. Whether they can pull them over is up to Ma Rulong.
What are the weapons and equipment for five hundred people?
Thirty rotary machine guns.
There are also thirty heavy machine guns.
Why do we need so many machine guns?
This is a defensive weapon.
Only with this thing can we ensure the safety of Qiuzhuang.
Of course, mortars are also indispensable.
Twenty mortars are necessary, and enough artillery shells must be managed.
In short, the firepower must be fierce.
It must be used rhythmically to make the enemy want to stop.
As for the bolt-action rifle…
Sorry, it's out of date.
The only thing left is bullets. A full 300,000 rounds of bullets are prepared. A total of 200 boxes.
"no problem!"
"Look at me!"
Ma Rulong is full of confidence.
With so many weapons and ammunition, if he could not defend Qiuzhuang, he would die of shame.
Then he was dumbfounded.
How do you carry so many weapons and ammunition by yourself?
I am only over fifty people!
However, there is no other way, Haikou has already boasted that I will finish the move with tears in my eyes.
On the one hand, arrange personnel to transport weapons and ammunition.
On the one hand, disperse people to find people.
As long as they are nearby, even ordinary people, they must quickly gather in Qiuzhuang. Otherwise, when the Japanese invaders come, they will suffer unreasonable disasters.
The arrangements were made. Zhang Chu rode off alone.
He already knows the location of Niuzhuang. Now he is no longer a road fool.
What's more, there is a recycling radar and direct navigation.
"Ta-ta-ta..."
"Ta-ta-ta..."
The sound of horse hooves was dull and splashed countless water splashes.
The pouring rain has not stopped. The ground is muddy, which is not conducive to the transportation of heavy weapons.
If it's a 105mm cannon or a howitzer, it's impossible to move in such weather. Because the wheels of the car and the cannon are all stuck in the mud and unable to move.
Even a 75mm field gun is difficult to move on such muddy ground.
The road was uneventful. We arrived at Niuzhuang safely.
