Chapter 137: The First Battle Out of the Mountain

The deaths of a few rich landowners would not attract too many people's attention in such troubled times. Even some wealthy people in the nearby towns and villages of Maling Mountain knew that some people had moved back to live under Maling Mountain, and although they were curious, they did not dare to send people into the mountains to inquire.

The reason is simple, in such troubled times, it is better to have more than one thing. In a poor and remote place like Malingshan, they don't need to care too much. If you really send someone to the mountains, you may get into trouble.

What's more, some things that have happened in Maling Mountain recently have also made these landlords dare not easily send people into the mountain. Even the puppet army stationed in the township rarely sent people into the mountains to check the situation, although they were curious.

Some people say that the bandits in the mountains were suppressed by a gang of strongmen. But this group of strongmen is also not easy to provoke. Those people who moved into the mountains were actually forced back into the mountains to be hostages. In short, there are a lot of rumors.

The only thing that pleased the wealthy landlords of these townships was that business in the townships seemed to be much better than usual. Although it was just some ordinary goods, these rich landowners knew that these things should be sold in the mountains.

Even if someone is bold enough to go into the mountains to see the situation. But these people often have no return. Over time, the squires and puppet soldiers living around Maling Mountain did not dare to easily step into the increasingly terrifying Maling Mountain.

This terrifying atmosphere was naturally deliberately publicized by Zhao Tiehu, the purpose of which was to hope that the outside world would not be interested in Malingshan. As for the little devils in the city, they will naturally not be interested in this kind of country rumor.

After all, after Zhao Tiehu entered Maling Mountain, he didn't do anything else except copy some of the homes of the rich people. It's just that in these surrounding towns and villages, the eyeliner belonging to the Corps is also increasing.

It wasn't until some time later that the intelligence station, which had been stationed in Lianyungang, suddenly sent a telegram to Zhao Tiehu. After receiving this telegram, Zhao Tiehu felt that he could take the special combat team out to practice his hands, and also make a big deal by the way.

At present, the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Group has not yet made a name for itself, and many times if you want to make money, you have to find opportunities on your own. The news sent by the Lianyungang Intelligence Station this time is that the little devil has a batch of valuable materials about to be shipped to Xuzhou.

Because the Xinpu Railway has not yet been repaired, the little devil will also transport a lot of goods to Jiangsu through Lianyungang. And this transportation and supply line, in Zhao Tiehu's opinion, can also make the wolf warrior earn a few sums.

According to the information received by the intelligence station, most of the supplies that the little devils are about to send from the port are relatively expensive medicines, weapons and ammunition. This is also a good thing for the mercenary group that needs to be stocked up urgently.

Looking at the information sent, Zhao Tiehu quickly summoned Li Chengwu and the others: "Chengwu, have you been suffocated recently?" ”

'Sort of! Wolf head, action? ’

'Hmmm! Although it is not a big move, this transaction is done well, and it is estimated that it can really make a lot of money. In order to feed more and more people and troops, we also have to find ways to make more money. Order the first squadron, pack dry rations, and get ready to go! ’

'Yes, wolf's head! ’

For this outing, Zhao Tiehu naturally will not take all the troops out. The unit that went out to fight with him was also the first squadron headed by the special operations detachment, and the number of troops was only about 50 people.

The remaining combat troops remained at the base. Li Hao, who was in charge of the training of recruits, naturally could not go out to fight with the troops this time. Hearing this news, Li Hao was somewhat unhappy, but he did not dare to disobey Zhao Tiehu's order.

Fortunately, in the near future, there will be another group of people coming over from Zaozhuang, and if there are more people at that time, Li Hao, the personal guard, believes that he can continue to follow Zhao Tiehu out. And this time, Zhao Tiehu still brought Toda Nosuke and a few little devils.

Although Nosuke Toda and others have recently trained, what they have learned is extremely limited. But according to Zhao Tiehu's observation, their combat ability has undoubtedly improved a lot compared to ordinary little devils. Therefore, it will not be wrong to bring it.

Since these little devils were brought out, Zhao Tiehu naturally hoped that they would play a role. Otherwise, you can't raise it with the ocean every month, but don't let these little devils sell their lives!

On the contrary, Nosuke Toda and the others, who were notified, seemed very excited. With the announcement of some systems of the mercenary group, these little devils also know very well that if they want to make more money, they can only participate in more battles.

Before leaving, Toda Nosuke deliberately called a few little devils to his side, and said very seriously: "Gentlemen, this is the first time we have followed the wolf's head to fight, I hope that all of you can fight bravely and not disgrace our prisoner of war squadron!" ”

'Hey! ’

With the appointment of Toda Nosuke as a mercenary officer with the rights of squadron leader, his status in the hearts of these little devil prisoners of war has also increased. The little devil who was captured earlier is naturally obedient to him.

However, in many ways, Toda Nosuke also knew that it was not he who these prisoners of war really needed loyalty. Including him, everyone must be loyal to Zhao Tiehu. This principle and red line must not be crossed at any time.

And among the next group of people, there are also thirty little devils who have been screened. In the future, these little devil prisoners of war will be included in Toda's squadron, which will be managed and commanded by Toda.

Before leaving, Zhao Tiehu also issued the standard military uniforms of the Wolf Warrior Mercenary Regiment to all the officers and soldiers who participated in the battle. Looking at this grass-green military uniform, many soldiers were surprised.

After changing clothes, many soldiers feel that it fits very well, and the fabric of this military uniform is also very good. Coupled with the rubber shoes they put on, many soldiers felt that after they changed into military uniforms, they finally looked like that again.

"This is the combat costume of our wolf warrior in the future, some have just been made, and this time I will give you priority. In the future, the combat uniforms belonging to the wolf warriors will have more colors. And this set is made for the terrain of mountains and forests. ’

Briefly introduced the reason why this combat uniform is grass green, and Zhao Tiehu also asked the soldiers who had changed their clothes to find a place with bushes to lie down. It turned out that the camouflage of this dress worked very well.

And the helmet and rubber shoes were also not equipped in the Eighth Route Army before. Many fighters were very excited about this change. Especially on the sleeves of the clothes, there is also a wolf head embroidered, which makes them feel a sense of belonging.

After giving the order to 'set off', Zhao Tiehu and his entourage quickly went out of the mountain and walked to the ambush site along the terrain that had been reconnoitred earlier.

According to the ambush site selected earlier, Zhao Tiehu decided to ambush in the border area between the East China Sea and Xinyi County. The convoy responsible for escorting that batch of supplies actually only had a Japanese squadron and some puppet soldiers.

Judging from the number of escort troops, Zhao Tiehu and their manpower are naturally insufficient. But he was unprepared, and Zhao Tiehu felt that there was no problem in taking down this group of little devils who were in charge of escorting.

The most important thing is that this little devil's land transportation and supply line, the little devil also often goes, and nothing happens. After all, at present, the Eighth Route Army and other anti-Japanese war forces are extremely weak in military strength in this region.

Even the New Fourth Army, which is currently developing rapidly in Jiangsu, has not extended its tentacles here. In general, the current area around Maling Mountain, where Zhao Tiehu is located, is regarded as an anti-Japanese vacuum zone, and the little devil is naturally very relieved.

In fact, it is worth it for the little devil to send a squadron to deliver goods, which is enough to show the importance of this batch of goods. What's more, there are some puppet troops who accompany them to protect, such escort troops, how dare ordinary anti-Japanese armed forces provoke?

After a night of rapid marching, Zhao Tiehu and his entourage arrived at the ambush site previously found by the intelligence department. Knowing that the little devil's escort convoy should take about a day to arrive, Zhao Tiehu also ordered the construction of fortifications to begin.

Before that, Zhao Tiehu did not forget to find a place to hide the loot around the ambush site. How could a whole convoy of materials be transferred at one time with just them?

Fortunately, the ambush site is not too far from the Xinyi side of Malingshan, as long as the materials are buried, and then after the limelight has passed, we will organize people to transfer them back to the base, I believe it will not alarm the little devils.

After everything was ready, the reconnaissance unit responsible for tracking the little devil's convoy also reported the little devil's route to Zhao Tiehu through the radio. And the ambush location chosen by Zhao Tiehu and others is also a must-take highway for little devils.

When constructing ambush fortifications, Zhao Tiehu also observed the caravans that passed by this section of the road every day. In general, this road to Xuzhou has a lot of caravans passing by every day. On the highway, there are also many military vehicles from Xuzhou to Lianyungang.

In view of this situation, Zhao Tiehu urgently revised the combat plan. When he received a convoy from the reconnaissance unit escorting supplies that was only about two hours away from them, Zhao Tiehu gave the order to set up a card.

It is still dozens of kilometers away from the nearest Xinyi City. Even if the little devil learns the news, he is afraid that he will not be able to come over in a short time. What's more, what Zhao Tiehu wanted to stop was not a passing caravan.

In the face of the little devils who suddenly appeared on the highway and set up a card to intercept them, many caravans walking on the road looked very surprised. In the eyes of these businessmen, it is rare to see little devils set up cards to intercept them on this road!

It's just that in the face of the little devil stopping the car, many businessmen still honestly cooperate with the inspection. Fortunately, these merchants found that these little devils were not too rude in inspecting the goods, and if they gave some money to send it, the convoy was soon released.

Until from the direction of Xinyi, three military vehicles of little devils came. Seeing these three military vehicles, Zhao Tiehu signaled Toda Nosuke and others to quickly stop the car. For the special combat team, they will carry two spare military uniforms when they go out to fight.

One of them is a little devil, and the other is naturally a puppet army. These three little devil military vehicles transporting goods looked a little surprised when they looked at the checkpoint that suddenly appeared in front of them.

It's just that I saw that the officer who stopped the car was a lieutenant, the little devil in charge of driving, and he still parked very quickly and accepted the interrogation of this somewhat strange Japanese squad. The reason is that there seems to be a Japanese soldier in this squad!
