After two days of field training without any food, Chief of Staff Zhong Chenggong believed that when the troops came back, they would be exhausted, starved, and lacking in energy.
But the result is exactly the opposite.
When Wang Ping led the team back to the station, there were more than 300 people. Except for the fact that the uniforms were a little dirty and the military appearance was not that good at a glance, everyone was in high spirits and there was no sign of being hungry for two days.
Not only that, the first battalion also brought back a large number of wild animals.
Pheasants, hares, and even two huge wild boars came back, leaving Zhong Chenggong stunned.
"Captain, how did you do that!" Zhong Chenggong almost didn't believe his eyes and asked with a look of shock on his face.
A mysterious smile flashed across Wang Ping's lips, and then he replied: "After I take the three battalions for a round, you can follow them for the second training. You will know after a visit. I guarantee that you will eat better than at the station."
, learned a lot!”
Then he ordered: "Chief of Staff, organize an extra meal for the whole regiment tonight. Reserve the extra meat. From now on, our new regiment will strive to eat a meal of meat every day. This way the food consumption will definitely be reduced."
Come down a lot!"
"Also, notify the Second Battalion that at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, bring all the equipment and set off with me on time for a two-day field training!"
Outside the mountain, Rongjun and his troops have defeated five maintenance guilds in a row and recruited more than thirty new soldiers in total.
Now all these recruits are hiding in the Tianjiacun Maintenance Association compound for training.
Not only that, Rong Jun and Wang Jianxin cooperated and used the same method to win the position of president of the maintenance association next door, and arranged for ten veterans to form a maintenance association guard and train new recruits.
Just when the two of them were comparing the map and discussing whether there was a chance to win another maintenance meeting, a soldier who had been left behind by him at the Japanese stronghold in Zhoucun rushed back out of breath.
"Company Commander, the Zhoucun stronghold has been built. More than 300 people have just been sent out of the stronghold by the Japanese and puppet troops. They are heading towards the county seat and seem to be preparing to be sent to the county seat!"
"Are there many Japanese and puppet troops being escorted?" Wang Ping asked, staring at the soldiers with gleaming eyes.
The soldier quickly replied: "Not many, only six Japanese and one platoon of puppet troops!"
"Also, many of the more than 300 prisoners and young men must have been abused by the Japanese. They are very hungry and are traveling very slowly. It is estimated that they can only walk five or six miles in an hour. Zhao Jun will follow them and I will run back.
Report."
"Well done!" Rong Jun said happily.
Then he shouted to the door: "Platoon Commander Li, assemble the troops immediately, bring all the veterans, and take action!"
In the view of Rong Jun, more than 300 prisoners and young men who were persecuted by the Japs, once they are mobilized, half of them will definitely join the Eighth Route Army. In this way, the number of troops in his hands will exceed 200, far more than 200.
A company.
And now there is nearly half a month left before the month agreed by the regiment leader. Rong Jun is confident that there will be no problem in recruiting more than 200 new recruits.
Now that he has four to five hundred men under his command, the commander of the new fourth battalion of the regiment will be his own. I feel happy just thinking about it.
The Rong army was not dazzled by the victory that had not yet been won. He quickly calmed down and began to think about how to capture these prisoners and young men in a covert manner.
Ten minutes later, twenty veterans dressed in Sustainment Guard uniforms left the Sustainment Association in a show of force.
Behind the team came a carriage loaded with grain.
Although the common people who did not know the true identities of these people did not dare to say anything with their mouths, they had already cursed them in their hearts.
"These idiots must have sent food to the Japanese again. They are all a bunch of damn beasts!"
As the people around them watched with anger, more than 20 people quickly left the village and marched quickly to the Fengyun Town stronghold.
Before setting off, Rong Jun suddenly discovered that the direction of the prisoners heading to the county town was the same as the direction he was heading to Fengyun Town. Then a very bold idea came to his mind to lead the troops with the opportunity of laboring for the Japanese and puppet troops in Fengyun Town.
Go out, then rob and kill these prisoners on the way, and then disperse them to the two maintenance stations after dark.
It happened that yesterday when he attacked a Japanese maintenance meeting, he snatched back a fat pig that had just been killed. Although Rong Jun was heartbroken about the pork, he still gritted his teeth and chopped off a whole half of the pork to work for the army for the sake of hundreds of recruits.
It only took less than two hours for the army of veterans to march in a hurry to catch up with the Japanese and puppet troops who were escorting the prisoners and marching slowly.
"Get ready to fight. This place is still far away from the Japanese stronghold, and the sound of gunfire cannot be transmitted. We are equipped with many pistols, so try to use guns to solve the battle!"
"When we met them, one group was responsible for the six Japanese soldiers, and the others were responsible for the puppet troops. End the battle quickly!"
In broad daylight, and on a road absolutely controlled by the Japanese, there was absolutely no possibility of an enemy appearing.
This was the idea behind escorting the captured Japanese and puppet troops.
In addition, as soon as the Rong army left the village, they changed their clothes into puppet army uniforms. When about 20 people, fully armed, chased them, the more than 30 Japanese and puppet soldiers did not take any precautions. Instead, they ordered the prisoners to stop aside and wait.
Let Rong Jun and the others come over to see if they can get some benefits from each other.
As a result, no benefits were obtained, but a lot of bullets were waiting for them.
A group of soldiers fighting against the Japanese were each equipped with a pistol.
Seeing the Japanese standing arrogantly on the side of the road, they quickly took action, bullets flying over each person. Many of the Japanese still had smiles on their faces, but the bullets whizzed by and beat them into pieces.
The six Japanese fell to the ground on the spot.
Before the Japanese soldiers nearby could recover from their shock, bullets flew towards them.
The friendly troops who were very friendly just now suddenly turned into opponents, and they were also murderers who harvested their lives.
Many puppet troops could not accept the huge changes, but the Rongjun had no intention of letting them accept it.
While firing, he shouted: "We are the Eighth Route Army. Surrender without killing!"
The pistol kills people at close range so fast that by the time the puppet soldiers react, less than half of them are left.
It was only then that the prisoners standing on the roadside with their hands tied and strung up with ropes reacted from their shock.
Rong Jun had no time to talk nonsense with them and directly ordered: "We are the Eighth Route Army and we are here to save everyone. Don't be afraid!"
"Now we are untying the rope for everyone. You have two choices. One is to go by yourself and leave here as far away as possible. However, I want to remind everyone that there are Japanese and puppet troops everywhere, and there are Japanese and puppet troops everywhere.
Control will be maintained, so if you decide to go by yourself, you must pay attention to safety!"
"The other option is to join the Eighth Route Army and follow us to fight the Japanese!"
"Many of you are prisoners captured by the Japs, or ordinary people framed by the Japs. If we hadn't saved you, you would probably have worked as coolies for the Japs for the rest of your life, or been tortured to death by the Japs in the process of doing so.
, it is absolutely impossible for the Japanese to let him go."
"Since it's death, why not die on the battlefield fighting the Japanese? And if you join the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese, as long as you practice your skills well, you won't necessarily die!"
