Chapter 14: The Dragon
Zhang Yunfei, who was like an old monk in a fixed state, suddenly stood up, took off the rifle on his back, and loaded it with a bullet, and the Cui family, who had always been vigilant against him, was frightened and fell directly to the ground.
Zhang Yunfei glanced at him inexplicably, and no longer cared about this middle-spirited and unreliable bear goods, if he didn't do anything, it would be unreasonable.
Two figures walked in the distance, and when they got closer, they found that it was Cui Liangfang and Cui Jiawang.
When they came to the front, Zhang Yunfei said with a little dissatisfaction: "Why did you come back so soon?" ”
"Platoon commander, we'll be back when we find out." Cui Jiawang hurriedly replied.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Yunfei was interested, and said, "So fast, how did you find out." ”
"It's not that difficult to find someone to ask."
Zhang Yunfei: "......"
In fact, they did ask for information when they asked for someone, they asked for the captain of the town's detective team and the company commander of the security army, invited them to dinner, and asked them everything. How many spy elites are so angry.
Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that the topic they are asking about is not much confidential, how many devils are garrisoned, how many security forces are garrisoned, as long as someone pays attention to it, you can understand the Tao.
Zhang Yunfei actually didn't need to investigate, just based on the information of later generations, he could roughly estimate the general strength and equipment of the devils, there were 30 devils in the town and more than 100 security troops.
"What weapons do they have?"
"Huang Mazi said that they only had rifles themselves, and he said that the imperial army ...... Oh, it's the devil who seems to have a heavy machine gun, and the other weapons are not clear. ”
Zhang Yunfei was very surprised, the devils still had this thing in their hands, it seemed that they still attached great importance to the stronghold of Wanjiaji.
"Then did you ask about the garrison of the surrounding turrets?"
"Ask clearly, among them, Feng Jia and Lu Tou heard that a squad of devils is guarding, there is only one light machine gun, and the commander of the Huang Company of the Sanjiamiao Artillery Tower is guarding them, but it seems that there is a guy named Jun Cao as an instructor, and the name of the little devil is really strange."
It's about the same as I expected, the only thing that is different is that there is a heavy machine gun, and the heavy machine gun is generally only six to eight at the brigade level, even if it is split into the squadron under its jurisdiction, there are generally only one or two squadrons in a squadron, and now they are directly assigned to the squad for use, it is conceivable that the devil attaches great importance to this place, as for the three temples there is a devil army Cao is not strange, and he is also strange how there is no devil in the turret, it is estimated that he does not often go out of the turret without being discovered.
"Jun Cao is not a personal name, it is a military rank, just like our squad leader, he is the commander of the puppet army, by the way, did you ask if the little devil here is that unit."
"Asked, asked, we all asked the questions you explained, Huang Mazi said that they were from the Arai squad, and he also said that the captain of the Arai squad was a short and sturdy little black egg, very greedy for money, and Huang Mazi also said that the old guy was thirty or forty people, but a little second lieutenant was still dragging like two hundred and fifty eight."
"Are you sure he's thirty or forty years old? He really said that, "Zhang Yunfei estimated that the company commander of the security team had been reprimanded by the squad leader.
"Seems like yes, why is this important?"
"Oh, nothing." He was indeed interested in the peculiarity of this devil, of course, it was only a personal hobby. The devil's officer is called a non-commissioned officer, and if you want to become an army non-commissioned officer, your regular background is naturally to take the army non-commissioned officer school (Lu Shi).
The children of the devils are about sixteen years old to complete high school courses, admitted to the Lu Shi, and graduated from the Lu Shi in five years, that is, at the age of about twenty-one or two, they can become a second lieutenant, and if they have excellent graduation grades, they will be admitted to the advanced Lu University, and three years later, they will graduate with the rank of captain at the age of twenty-four or five.
Of these two types of regular military academy graduates, most of Lu Shi can be promoted to Shaozuo before the age of 35, and Lu Da is almost promoted to Dazuo at the age of 35.
Thirty or forty-year-old officers and above are common, and thirty or forty-year-old ensigns are rare, this kind of officers are actually called reserve second lieutenants, and most of them will only appear in special divisions and regiments formed by reserves, they are the retired veterans of Cao Chang and the special agent Cao Chang who were re-recruited and awarded the rank of second lieutenant.
This Arai squad should be an ad hoc division, officers in their forties and soldiers in their thirties, the discipline and combat effectiveness of this kind of army are relatively poor, of course, it is only relative to the devil's own permanent division, the amount of ammunition for a heavy machine gun of the devil is several times more than the number of bullets in the whole regiment of the independent regiment, the reality is not a drama of the Anti-Japanese War, anyway, the independent regiment does not have the ability to take down this stronghold.
However, their troop layout is also quite interesting, these guys are indeed different from other devils, they are very afraid of death, three turrets and a stronghold form a diamond shape, and the puppet army's Sanjiamiao turret is just at the front of the corner, the danger is naturally the highest of the Sanjiamiao, if you don't take down the Sanjiamiao stronghold, attacking other strongholds is easy to be blocked by reinforcements, that is to say, they make themselves invincible.
After all, they are all a group of people in their thirties and forties, and they will not be loyal to their emperor with the determination to die like a hairy young man, and it is normal to think about their own safety first when they have complicated thoughts.
But it's okay, as long as this kind of unit is not ordered by the superiors, they will definitely be passive and sabotage, and will not take the initiative to provoke their independent regiment, of course, these guys are not good birds, they are the worst disciplined and the most committed troops among the devils, and the evaluation of Wang Mazi, the commander of the security army company, is, too special and greedy.
These middle-aged devils, they themselves are reserves, there is no need to count on promotion, the enemy will soon surrender (the devils have been advocating propaganda), once the war is over, they will have to disband and go home to farm, and have the right not to be wasted, at this time, do not wait for when.
This group of blood-indebted guys, if they have the opportunity to kill them, they will definitely not be soft, and they will never let these beasts kill and rob and leave Huaxia freely, Zhang Yunfei thought silently.
Zhang Yunfei, who had completed the reconnaissance mission, was returning to Laolongkou with the three uncles and nephews of the Cui family, and Hideo Arai, who was in the Wanjiaji team headquarters, was also looking at the direction of Laolongkou.
He had also heard the locals say that looking at the mountains in the distance like a dragon, his ears seemed to really sound the voice of the dragon, its tired gasps, painful moans, and an inexplicable solemnity and sadness came to his face.
The older people get, the more they like to think wildly, and it seems that they have also stepped into the ranks of the elderly. Forty knows the destiny of heaven, he is already forty-one, if it is not for this war, then what is he doing now, it is likely to water the seedlings in the field under the scorching sun to fight drought.
What did he get by giving all his youth to the emperor, was poverty, because he had been in the army, and after retiring from the army, he was seriously out of touch with society, and he didn't know any life skills. As for that meager salary in the army, a few packs of cigarettes and a few bottles of sake are spent, and it is impossible to have savings at all.
It was also because of this war that he could get rid of the fate of poverty in the second half of his life, and he was conscripted into the army again, and he wanted to think about the second half of his life, and he would grab some valuable things and bring them back to China, so that he could no longer be poor and live a comfortable life, as for his loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor, it should be left to those young people.
I thought that this war would end soon, and I could retire again and live the life of a rich man with my own money, but a year has passed, and there is no hope of ending this war at all.
Although the military said quickly, but he is not a fool, the enemy's will to resist has not been broken, not long ago, the search team of their division was ambushed by the Eighth Route Army, almost wiped out, and only more than 300 people fled back, so the military said that he would soon win, and he was not a hairy boy, so naturally he would not believe such words, as a veteran, he had his own judgment, and the enemy's resistance became more and more tenacious.
The cavalry on the door with long eyes and long heads were beaten and fled back on two legs, can he really leave China alive and live the life of a rich man, Arai Hideo was worried about his safety for the first time, looking at the old dragon's mouth in the distance, he felt that it was an angry sick dragon roaring, as if he could stand up at any time to devour all the enemies who despised it, Arai Hideo turned his head away and did not dare to look directly at it.
