Ivanov let out a long breath, inserted the Type 96 pistol that the KPA had equipped him with into the holster, untied the strap of the holster from his shoulder, and carried the strap in his hand, and then sat down on a large rock.

To be honest, Ivanov still does not understand why the KPA likes this type of pistol, and it is still equipped in the army in large quantities, not only the standard guns for officers below the regimental level, but also for many soldiers.

In Ivanov's view, the Type 96 pistol is simply useless, as a pistol, its size is too large, inconvenient to carry, and the recoil is large, it is difficult to control one-handed accurate shooting, it must be loaded with holsters, and the shoulder shot can ensure accurate shooting, although this type of pistol can shoot continuously, automatically retract, and can be connected to the magazine of 20 rounds to ensure the continuity of firepower, but the range and lethality are far less than the general rifle, that is, you can't hit the enemy, but the enemy can hit you, so what's the use of the rate of fireTherefore, I really don't understand why the KPA treats this type of pistol as if it were a treasure.

However, Ivanov had heard from some Russian soldiers that this type of pistol was very useful in hand-to-hand combat, and many Russian soldiers were shot by KPA soldiers using this type of pistol at a distance of more than 10 meters, or even 5 or 6 meters, when they were engaged in white-knuckle combat with the People's Army. It is said that an infantry squad of the KPA is equipped with two Type 96 pistols and can easily defeat an infantry squad of the Russian army in a white-knuckle battle.

However, Ivanov has no experience in white-knuckle combat with the KPA, so I don't know if this statement is true or not, but he has been a mercenary for almost 2 months, but until now, he is still not used to using this pistol.

But Ivanov did not have any dissatisfaction with the KPA in his heart, on the contrary, he felt quite happy, because he could finally go to the battlefield again, although this time he was fighting for the KPA.

Of course, now these are just Ivanov's feelings after winning the Battle of the Seven Tails, he doesn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with the People's Army in his heart, after all, he can give himself the opportunity to go back to the battlefield, which is already good, not to mention that in the mercenary corps, Ivanov is also the commander of the regiment, which also makes him a little proud.

Ivanov is also a rare regimental-level officer in the mercenary corps, and those who have been a regiment commander, even if he is counted together, there are only 3 people, because in the Russian army, regimental officers are generally with the rank of colonel, at least lieutenant colonel, but those are positions that can only be held by the children of nobles, and of course these people disdain to fight for the people's army, anyway, according to the convention, after the war is over, they will be released, or the family will pay to redeem themselves, why do you have to work so hard!

If Ivalov hadn't caught up with this war, was promoted to regimental commander by the firing line on the battlefield, and worked in the Russian army until he retired, it would have been basically impossible to be promoted to a regimental officer. And the other two regiment commanders, like Ivanov, were promoted to regimental commanders on the battlefield. Of course, they don't have the mentality of the children of the nobility, and they can't expect their families to pay to redeem themselves, so they all choose to join the mercenary army and fight for their freedom. The only regret is that although the time of this battle is not short, most of the time, the mercenaries have no chance to play, so they don't have much time to perform, but this also makes Ivanov a little surprised, it seems that the People's Army does not use mercenaries as cannon fodder.

At this moment, one of the guards ran up to Ivanlov and said, "Commander Ivan, the squad leader invites you to come over, there is a new mission." ”

When Ivanov heard this, he quickly got up and followed the guards to Ban Jianwei, who had given him the task of checking the houses and shops of the big merchants in Qiwei City, which was a rice shop, looking for grain, poultry, livestock, and precious metals and products such as gold and silver, as well as all other useful things, and gathered all the people in the city and imprisoned them separately, especially the young and middle-aged men and women, and those who dared to resist could be killed on the spot.

Because the resistance of Nanao City is relatively tough, even though it is now occupied by the People's Army, it is still quite unconvinced, and so far no local officials or township officials have come forward to contact the People's Army, and the administrative officials have even taken away all the household registration materials and other items in Nanao City, and I don't know whether they have burned or hidden, and they are completely uncooperative. On the one hand, this is the result of the agitation of Naoshige Oshima in the urban area, on the other hand, since the fall of Japan, the mainland has not been invaded by foreign enemies, and since the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese government has been in the country to penetrate the idea that the Yamato nation is a superior nation, so many Japanese people directly regard themselves as God's chosen people, in the bones no one looks down on them, because it is basically a condescending attitude towards the Chinese, and Japan's defeat in the Far East battlefield, the Japanese government has many taboos, the Japanese people do not know much, although the city of Nanao is occupied by the People's Army, but the Japanese mentality has not been adjusted。

The People's Army intends to use Nanao as the location of its headquarters on the Noto Peninsula, and must ensure absolute security, of course, it cannot allow such a non-cooperative attitude of the Japanese to continue, and Ban Jianwei does not intend to be polite to the residents of Nanao City, so it is decided to use harsh and iron-blooded methods to suppress the residents of Nanao City, but of course this dirty work is left to the mercenary army.

But you can't be too indulgent to the mercenaries, otherwise these hairy people can do anything cruel, so Ban Jianwei has stipulated several prohibitions, one is that you can kill people, but you can't deliberately torture and kill, and the other is that you can't kill children, after all, children don't understand anything, and killing children is a bit more than the bottom line; and to send people to supervise the conduct of mercenaries.

And after receiving the task of Ban Jianwei, Ivanov was also very happy, looting the civilians of the enemy country and plundering wealth is a traditional retention project of the Russian army, and it is also the main source of income for ordinary Russian soldiers, but I didn't expect the People's Army to also have this hobby.

So Ivanov immediately assured Ban Jianwei that the task was completed, and then set out to act, first dividing the city of Seven Tails into several blocks, and making up the order, and then conducting searches in turn, during the initial search, the mercenary soldiers behaved quite fiercely, as long as the residents resisted the slightest move, they were immediately killed, leaving no room at all, and threw the body on the street, in fact, this was a powerful move, which was used to scare other residents.

Sure enough, during the initial search of more than 20 houses, the mercenaries killed nearly 50 people and left them dead in the streets. This really shocked the residents, after all, in the face of the threat of death, no matter how great the psychological superiority is, it is useless.

The subsequent progress of the inventory was much easier, and although the vast majority of the residents still did not think about it, they did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction in their actions, and they did not dare to resist anything or take away any mercenaries who wanted to rob or take away. And the few who still resisted were shot and killed by mercenaries.

After Ban Jianwei heard the report, he couldn't help but admire a little, Mao Zi is really an expert in this business, who said that robbery is not technical at all, Mao Zi has just done looting and looting into a technical job, so he can't accept it.

In fact, Nanao City, like Haza Town, was affected by the Far East War, and its economy had regressed greatly, and a number of laborers were requisitioned by the Japanese government, and a group of people fled when the People's Army attacked, so the population of the city at this time was only more than 50,000 people, and most of them were old, weak, women and children.

However, the scale and economy of Nanao City are much larger than that of Yuza Town, and the looting of Nanao by the People's Army is much more than that of Yuza Town, and it is basically a house-to-house inventory, so the harvest is much more than that of Haza Town.

In the end, the People's Army obtained more than 500 tons of various grains, more than 300 tons of seafood, more than 200 poultry and livestock, more than 700 kilograms of various liquors, 23 kilograms of gold, 160 kilograms of silverware, and a large number of other materials.

In terms of personnel, more than 9,000 young and middle-aged men, more than 15,000 young and middle-aged women, and more than 600 technicians were arrested. It can be said that all aspects are hugely rewarding.

After receiving Ban Jianwei's report, Luo Yue also immediately ordered that only one regiment should be left to garrison in Yuza Town, while the rest of the troops were transferred to Nanao City to be stationed.

At the same time, Luo Yue issued two more orders, the first was to send to the marines and other units of the mercenary corps stationed in Shanghai, ordering them to immediately rush to the Noto Peninsula and join him and prepare for a full-scale battle in Japan; the second was to send the fleet that was still attacking the southeastern coast of Japan, ordering the fleet to rush to Jeju Island first, join the fleet carrying the troops, and then rush to the Noto Peninsula together.

Of course, during this period, the troops on the Noto Peninsula could not rest easy, after all, the KPA only controlled a small area in the middle of the Noto Peninsula, and in the northeastern part of the peninsula, there were Wajima City, Zhuzhou City, Fengzhu County, Kashima-gun and other cities are still under the control of local Japanese officials; and I am afraid that the Japanese Government has received the news of the KPA landing and is mobilizing troops to prepare for an attack on the Noto Peninsula.

However, now that the People's Army had captured nearly 10,000 Japanese young and middle-aged men, and there was enough labor, Luo Yue ordered a regiment to take responsibility for arranging a defensive line consisting mainly of tunnel trenches and crossing the entire Noto Peninsula from a position about 5 kilometers south of Nanao City to prevent the Japanese attack.

At the same time, Luo Yue sent a mercenary army to attack the northeast of the Noto Peninsula, and wanted to fully control the northeastern part of the peninsula.
