"Baga, move quickly, move around!" the Japanese heavy machine gun squad leader ordered hurriedly.
"Boom, boom, boom..." Before he could finish his words, a violent explosion sounded all around, followed by a burst of screams that reached the squad leader's ears.
Five or six of his subordinates were blown away with blood all over their bodies, and a heavy machine gun hit the ground. No one paid attention.
"Ignore them, continue to retreat, retreat quickly!" the squad leader shouted loudly.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh...ahhhh..." A few hundred meters away, the Eighth Route Army's heavy machine gun also fired a string of bullets at them. Several machine gunners fell to the ground with screams, dying.
In the end, a machine gun squad withdrew only half of its soldiers and one of the three heavy machine guns. It was very embarrassing to appear in front of Sanben.
The artillery squad was finished, and the heavy machine gun squad also suffered heavy losses. Relying solely on a group of infantry without heavy weapons would definitely not be a match for the Eighth Route Army.
Yamamoto Kazuki's face instantly became gloomy. Although he was very reluctant, he still ordered: "Let the attacking troops withdraw. When their artillery and heavy machine guns react, the attacking troops will be finished!"
After the order was issued, he directly cursed: "Bageya Road, the Eighth Route Army is too cunning. It retreats as soon as it finds something wrong. It is not a warrior. We are just a little bit close to surrounding them and annihilating them all."
At the independent regiment station, Wang Ping did not attack with the troops.
In his opinion, a few battalion commanders are fully capable of conducting such small-scale military training operations.
While he was sitting idle at the regiment headquarters, Jiang Hongchun, the director of the logistics department, came and rushed in with excitement on his face.
"Captain, a miracle, simply a miracle, you created a miracle!"
"What a miracle, Director Jiang, please explain clearly!" Wang Ping frowned and asked, not understanding why Jiang Hongchun was happy at all.
Jiang Hongchun immediately replied: "It's a breeding farm, and the breeding farm has produced results! According to the method you taught, the breeding farm really hatched chicks!"
"Let's go to the breeding farm!" No one knows the meaning of successfully hatching chicks better than Wang Ping. Therefore, Wang Ping said without a word, raised his feet and walked quickly towards the breeding farm.
Although political commissar Cheng Xiao and others did not understand, they still hurriedly followed.
Before they rushed into the incubation room, the sound of chicken crow reached everyone's ears.
When he rushed towards him, what caught his eyes were densely packed chicks of various colors.
"Chickens can really hatch without a hen. It's incredible!" Cheng Xiao, who knew the whole story, first stared at his big eyes, not believing what he saw. Then a huge surprise came over him.
In my heart, I cried out in great surprise.
"Political Commissar, what really surprises you is yet to come!" Wang Ping said with confidence.
Then he asked Jiang Hongchun: "How is the hatching rate?"
"It's very high. There are a total of 500 eggs. So far, 328 chicks have hatched. There are still chicks breaking out of their shells. There will definitely be no problem if we exceed 400 chickens. It is more than 80% of the hatching rate!" Jiang Hongchun said:
Answered with an excited face.
Wang Ping nodded and continued: "I am very satisfied with this result. Director Jiang, since the first batch has been successfully hatched, there will definitely be no problem with the second batch. Before the Japanese attack us, we can still go out and find a way to buy two more."
Thousands and five hundred eggs are returned and continue to be hatched. With so many people in our independent group, we must ensure that we have 2,500 chickens to meet the entire group's demand for meat and eggs."
Jiang Hongchun immediately objected: "Captain, I object! How much food will it take to raise so many chickens? We have limited food, and we can't even feed people. Where can we have food to raise chickens?"
Seeing the puzzled expression on Wang Ping's face, Cheng Xiao quickly explained: "Captain, I feel that raising chickens with earthworms is impossible, so I didn't tell Director Jiang!"
Wang Ping immediately reacted: "Old Cheng, you are worried that I will make a joke in front of my new partner. I thank you first. But I want to tell you that my method will definitely work. Let's go to the earthworm breeding pit!"
When he arrived at the earthworm breeding pit, Wang Ping personally picked up the tools he had prepared and started digging in the pit. Soon, densely packed earthworms appeared in front of everyone.
"Bring the basin here!" Wang Ping was also very excited and immediately ordered.
Soon, seven or eight kilograms of earthworms were dug out, many of which were as thick as a little finger and looked particularly scary.
Without saying anything, Wang Ping picked up a special kitchen knife and chopped the earthworms into pieces, then mixed them with the same chopped vegetable leaves and sprinkled them into a box full of chickens.
A scene that stunned everyone appeared. The hungry chickens were rushing to eat the chicken food that Wang Ping had thrown in, and they were even more enthusiastic than eating grains.
"Earthworms can actually raise chickens. Captain, you succeeded!" Cheng Xiao said with excitement after finally recovering from the shock.
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "Political Commissar, raising chickens with earthworms is far more difficult than you think. This is just the beginning. If you want to raise chickens so that they can lay eggs, there are still many difficulties!"
Then Wang Ping became the commentator and told Jiang Hongchun how to make a chicken coop, build a chicken coop, ensure the hygiene of the chicken coop, prevent chicken plague, and feed the chickens...
After Wang Ping finished speaking, the notebook in Jiang Hongchun's hand already contained several pages of dense records.
"Director Jiang, as long as you do what I say, we will be able to eat the first batch of eggs in three months at most!" After that, Wang Ping confidently made a decision that surprised everyone.
At this moment, the regimental communications soldier suddenly rushed over.
"Captain, something happened. The first battalion is back. The troops suffered heavy losses. Battalion Commander Zhang is waiting for you at the regiment headquarters!"
"Something happened. Didn't we go out to train? What could happen?" Although Wang Ping was confused, he did not stop moving his feet and hurried towards the regiment headquarters.
As soon as he entered the regiment headquarters, Zhang Qing lowered his head and reported: "Regiment leader, political commissar, and chief of staff, I didn't fight well, please punish me!"
"What exactly is going on?" Wang Ping stared at Zhang Qing and asked.
"I was tricked by the Japanese!" Zhang Qing replied with a painful look on his face.
"We captured several prisoners in a row, including an Imperial Association platoon leader. According to his confession, whether the Japanese came out of the city to burn, kill, loot, torture or reinforce troops, it was all a conspiracy against us! Also, all the Japanese and puppet troops who came out of the city were
They are mixed and uniforms are mixed. Our old method of dealing with them will not work at all. Against such Japanese and puppet troops, unless they are all wiped out, the battle will never end!"
After listening to Zhang Qing's report, Wang Ping said nothing.
After thinking for nearly a minute, he asked: "You just said that when the battle started, the Japanese seemed to have known your troop strength and deployment in advance?"
"Yes! As soon as the battle started, the Japs concentrated their mortars and heavy machine guns on our position, without even the most basic probing attack, and hit them accurately!" Zhang Qing replied helplessly.
"There is only one reason. Every move you make on the battlefield is watched by the Japanese!" Wang Ping said in a shocking analysis!
