Zhang Chu and others successfully retreated to Ping'an County.
The Japanese cavalry did not pursue them. They were still concerned about the heavy machine guns and mortars in the hands of Tubal Road.
Ping'an County is calm for the time being.
No Japanese aircraft were dispatched.
He probably wouldn't be willing to fly a plane to deal with a small county town.
Infantrymen are also face-saving. They don't want to trouble the aviation troops all the time.
Airmen are all masters with eyes above their heads...
Enter the city.
Have a meal.
The logistics team has already prepared the meat buns.
It is a veritable meat bun. There is real meat filling inside.
Zhang Chu ate five in one breath, filling himself up.
So does everyone else.
You must eat as hard as you can when you have something to eat, because no one knows when the next meal will be.
It's even hard to say whether there is a chance to eat a meal or not. If he sacrifices himself, he will have to die of hunger.
Some people even put a few in their arms when they were full. No one stopped them.
Zhang Chu also wanted to put a few meat buns in his storage and take them out when needed. But he was rejected.
Because meat buns have no recycling value.
Had to give up.
Chen Quan is here.
"Consultant Zhang."
"Second Battalion Commander."
"When do we retreat?"
"retreat?"
“We’re not going to stick to the county seat, are we?”
"this……"
Zhang Chu wanted to speak but stopped.
He actually wanted to stick to the county seat.
Because sticking to the county seat involves copying the loot!
If you give up the county seat, you will lose an income. It will really break your bones.
The question is, can he hold on to the county seat?
The Japanese army is coming soon. If we defend, we will definitely not be able to hold on.
The Japanese invaders will launch aircraft, tanks, and artillery to attack. It will be difficult to resist.
If you defend the city forcefully, your sacrifice will be in vain.
This also goes against the basic tactical principles of our party and our army.
The current battle is still based on guerrilla warfare and mobile warfare. Avoid a head-on fight with the Japanese invaders.
Therefore, giving up voluntarily is inevitable.
The issue is……
I really can’t bear it!
So, what to do?
How can we keep a county seat?
Zhang Chu's eyes silently turned to the west. There was also a county over there called Xiao County.
"Does anyone know the situation in Xiao County?"
"I know something."
"Are there many Japs over there?"
"Let's make a team!"
A brief introduction to Shen Quan. He often moves around Xiaoxian County.
In Xiao County and the surrounding areas, there is also a Japanese brigade with about a thousand people stationed there. There is also a puppet army regiment with about a thousand people.
Not all of them are stationed in the city. They are stationed in scattered strongholds around the city.
There are a total of three larger strongholds around Xiao County. Each stronghold is garrisoned by a squadron of Japanese invaders and a company of puppet troops.
These strongholds are equipped with bunkers, bunkers, gun towers, etc. There are also trenches, barbed wire fences, and mine arrays outside. It is quite troublesome to attack them. Even if they can be captured, the casualties will be extremely heavy.
Especially now, when the Japanese invaders learn that Ping'an County has been captured, they will definitely further strengthen their defenses. The situation will be even worse.
"Even if we have field artillery, it will probably be difficult."
“What about Xihe County?”
"There is also a large group of Japanese invaders."
“Where is Yu County?”
"The Japanese's Ninth Independent Mixed Brigade is stationed there."
“Where is She County?”
"There is also a large group of Japanese invaders."
"ah……"
Zhang Chu frowned.
It seems that the strategy of vacating the cage and replacing the birds is no longer working.
The Japanese invaders stationed heavy troops in the counties around the base area to prevent Tubal Road from breaking through.
It is extremely difficult to attack the fortress.
Even if Li Yunlong arrives with a new group, it will not be easy.
So……
Go further?
Go to the core hinterland of the Japanese invaders?
It was impossible for the Japanese invaders to station heavy troops in every county, right?
There will always be emptier places...
"Is there any county where the Japanese invaders have relatively few troops stationed?"
"Jiao County? It's very close to Taiyuan. The Japanese garrison is not many. There is only one squadron and the Black Gouzi garrison. But it is too close to Taiyuan."
"How close?"
"It's less than fifty miles away. The Japanese auto soldiers can arrive in an hour."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Chu frowned secretly.
The battle ends in an hour, and you still have to retreat, which is difficult.
What's more, if it was taken down here, but the Japanese invaders took it back over there, it would be a waste of effort. It would be of no use.
Well, keep thinking of ways.
Don't lose heart...
As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more difficulties than solutions...
Sorry, wrong. There are always more solutions than difficulties!
"By the way, Wang Xikui is back."
"Really? Invite him!"
"good!"
Chen Quan immediately turned around and called for someone.
Soon after, Wang Xikui arrived with a gun.
Stand at attention and salute.
Zhang Chu also returned the courtesy.
That's right, it's Wang Xikui. He has thin cheeks and sunken eyes. He is a veritable sharpshooter.
Within a distance of two to three hundred meters, it can be said that we hit wherever we go.
In one battle, more than ten or twenty Japs can be killed.
It's a pity that during the big sweep, he ran out of bullets and had to fight with the Japanese invaders with bayonets. In the end, he died unfortunately. If he had enough bullets...
Oh, there are no ifs.
From now on, he will definitely have plenty of bullets.
Zhang Chu doesn't have Wang Xikui's magical marksmanship, but he can definitely guarantee that Wang Xikui's bullets will never run out!
"Comrade Wang Xikui, please give me your gun!"
"yes!"
Wang Xikui handed the rifle in his hand to Zhang Chu.
It is a semi-new but not old Shuilianzhu. The bolt is relatively lubricated and there are faint oil stains. It should be that it has been well maintained.
It seems that every marksman will take good care of his weapons.
On the other hand, if you don’t even take care of your own weapons, how can you become a sharpshooter?
"I'll give you a different gun."
Zhang Chu took out the vst-40 sniper type that he had prepared long ago.
As the name suggests, it is a model with a scope installed on SVT-40.
It is equipped with a 2.5x scope. It is not as good as the Carl Zeiss quadruple scope. But the distance of 500 meters is enough.
In fact, a 2.5x scope is more helpful for snipers to find targets and to shoot quickly.
With the svt-40 semi-automatic, all you need is one word: fast!
Aim quickly.
Rapid fire.
Knock down the target as quickly as possible.
Especially when facing a larger number of targets, ten bullets should hit at least eight enemies.
"What kind of gun is this?"
Wang Xikui asked doubtfully.
He had never seen such a gun.
Shen Quan has never seen it either.
Zhang Chu gave Sun Desheng one of these guns. It didn't have a scope.
It is unrealistic for cavalry to use sniper rifles. It is impossible to aim on horseback.
"This is svt-40..."
"Commonly known as Ten Grain Fast..."
Zhang Chu gave a simple explanation.
Due to structural reasons, the accuracy of svt-40 is very good.
Within a distance of 500 meters, its accuracy fully meets the needs of a sniper rifle. In fact, many snipers of the Soviet Red Army use this kind of gun.
Fast rate of fire.
Semi-automatic.
High precision.
What kind of bike do you want?
Even if the first shot misses, you can quickly make up for it.
The reason why SVT-40 is not as famous as Garand is mainly due to the production process. It is exactly the same as the domestic Type 63 rifle.
Quality defects have been eliminated through systematic processing.
Products produced by the system must be of high quality.
"It uses water-jerking bullets."
"The second battalion of your independent regiment uses this kind of bullet."
"If you don't have enough bullets, come to me. I'll give you bullets."
Zhang Chu handed the gun to Wang Xikui with both hands.
Wang Xikui took it with both hands, stood at attention, saluted, and expressed his gratitude.
Zhang Chu returned the gift.
"Go ahead!"
Zhang Chu nodded.
Wang Xikui turned around and left with his gun in hand.
Chen Quan: "Commander Zhang, can you give us a few more such good guns?"
Zhang Chu: "One hundred meters away, five bullets, more than 40 rounds. Come to me."
Shen Quan:......
Okay, pretend I didn't say that.
This requirement is difficult. Very few people can achieve it.
Mainly due to lack of training.
However, it is not completely hopeless.
As long as there are enough bullets, a score of 40 rings is still possible.
"keep your word?"
"certainly!"
Zhang Chu nodded heavily.
Chen Quan immediately turned around and arranged for the troops to go training shooting.
Time flows quietly.
Soon it will be afternoon.
Zhang Chu still hasn't thought of an effective way.
"Consultant Zhang!"
"Consultant Zhang!"
Suddenly someone called.
But it was Guo Huai who came.
"Commander Zhang, hurry up, a new regiment is coming!"
