Chapter 5 Is This Thing Enough?
Wangjiawa, a small village under Taihang Mountain, is not famous. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info and at this moment, the station of the first battalion and three companies of the 772nd Regiment is located in this small village. The people in the village were also accustomed to the existence of this anti-Japanese force.
Even if some villagers are worried and let these Eighth Route Army live in the village, the little devils will definitely retaliate if they know about it in the future. However, with the capture of Taiyuan by the Japanese army, troops from all walks of life swept all over Shanxi, and the life of the common people became even more difficult.
With these Eighth Route Army stationed in the village, the villagers at least don't have to worry about banditry and looting. As for the threat of the little devil, the villagers felt that it was really not good, so they would hide in the mountains and wait for the limelight to pass before coming out.
At least after these Eighth Route Army moved into the village, the villagers did not feel disturbed. On the contrary, many villagers gradually felt that these Eight Roads seemed to be a little different from the troops they had come into contact with before.
In a slightly dilapidated courtyard at the head of the village, Zhu Chengxi, the commander of the third company, said with a little worry: "Hasn't the first row come back yet?" ”
'No, company commander, do you want to send someone out to find it?' ’
'Forget it! Wait! If a platoon is back, let me know immediately! ’
'Yes, Company Commander! ’
Just as night began to cover the land, the soldiers standing at the entrance of the village on duty soon saw a team appear at the entrance of the village. After careful observation, the sentry also hurried out of the sentry post.
At the same time, a squad leader who was on duty at the entrance of the village said in a timely manner: "Tiedan, hurry back to the village and report to the company commander, and say that someone in the platoon has returned." I went to the front to see what was going on, and something seemed wrong! ”
'Yes, squad leader! ’
A slightly immature-faced warrior, carrying a rifle older than Hanyang-made, hurried to the village. At this moment, the squad leader who was on duty walked over to the group of people who returned to the village.
'Chengwu, why did you come back? What about your platoon commanders? What about the squad leader? Where did these guns come from? ’
Looking at Li Chengwu, the leader of the second squad in the first row who returned to the village at this moment, the squad leader on duty also asked with concern. It's just that from the slightly tired face of the second squad leader, he can somewhat see that the other party should have rushed a lot.
'Don't talk yet, let me catch my breath first, I'm tired!' Hurry up, take a hand, and put these guns away. If there is water, give Lao Tzu a sip, after running such a long way, I am almost thirsty to death! ’
Li Chengwu, who was panting and replied to a sentence, left the five guns on his back and the one he used. The remaining four rifles were all handed to Zhou Mingyi, the fifth squad leader in front of him.
Just when the soldiers on duty took the guns on the backs of a row of soldiers with some joy. Company commander Zhu Chengxi and instructor Song Jun, who learned the news, also hurriedly ran out of the village.
Looking at the row of soldiers sitting at the entrance of the village, and the dozens of extra rifles, the two of them were also confused. Glancing at the number of people at the entrance of the village, they did not see the figure of platoon commander Liu Cheng.
'Li Chengwu, what's wrong?' What about your platoon commanders? ’
'Hello company commander! Hello instructor! Platoon commander, they're fine, they're all right! These guns were captured by squad leader Zhao, so let's carry them back in advance. I found squad leader Zhao, and now he is staying in Evil Dragon Ridge to suppress bandits? ’
After saluting and greeting, Li Chengwu also looked admiring and briefly described the origin of the gun. But when Zhu Chengxi heard this, his face immediately changed drastically: "What? Have you attacked the Dragon Village? ”
'Nope! We didn't catch up! These guns belonged to bandits, and squad leader Zhao seized them alone. There were too many things, so we carried the guns back first, and there were some supplies, which were now left on the mountain and not taken.
Oh, company commander, when I came back, the platoon commander asked me to bring you a letter. Tomorrow morning, the platoon commander will ask you to take the troops to Evil Dragon Ridge. Today, squad leader Zhao alone has eliminated nearly a hundred bandits.
At this time, the bandits of the evil dragon village were all beaten by squad leader Zhao and did not dare to leave the cottage. Squad Leader Zhao also explained, give him one more night, and when you pass tomorrow, you will almost be able to take the evil dragon village! ’
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked. During the period of stationing in Wangjiawa, the notoriety of the evil dragon village was well known. Once upon a time, the Jin Sui Army, which was stationed in Yushe, also sent a main force regiment, but they failed to defeat the evil dragon village.
But now, Zhao Tiehu alone can take out this bandit den?
'What the hell is going on, you can tell me more about it!' Zhao Tiehu, do you still have this ability? ’
Song Jun, who seemed a little incredulous, also opened his mouth to ask at the right time. At least in Song Jun's view, Zhao Tiehu is an old Red Army, and his combat effectiveness is also very strong. But the problem is, my brain is a little unbright!
But Li Chengwu, who heard this, quickly said: "Instructor, what I said is true!" Now the platoon commander and the squad leader are all staying in Evil Dragon Ridge. I was going to cooperate with squad leader Zhao at night, but squad leader Zhao would not let me.
Squad leader Zhao said that the grain that was robbed earlier was snatched by bandits from him. Xiaohuzi's sacrifice is also because of the team he leads, and he is responsible. Therefore, we must avenge the little tigers and take back the robbed grain.
Oh, I almost forgot, when the platoon commander came back, he said that after squad leader Zhao recovered from his injury this time, it seemed that his brain was also clear. Although his temper is still like that, his marksmanship is really amazing, one shot at a time, very accurate! ”
As a veteran and squad leader of the first company, Li Chengwu somewhat knew that Song Jun was a little unaccustomed to Zhao Tiehu. Once upon a time, Li Chengwu was the same as Song Jun. But today's incident really made Li Chengwu admire it in his heart!
In fact, as Li Chengwu finished telling what he saw, the soldiers of the Third Company who stayed on the side were also in admiration. One person and one gun, killing nearly 100 bandits, this ability is indeed worthy of their admiration!
When the group returned to the village, Zhu Chengxi asked people to bring dinner, a few large sweet potatoes and a bowl of batter. Li Chengwu stayed at the company headquarters and told the company commander again about Liu Cheng's treatment when he came back earlier.
To be exact, it should be something that Zhao Tiehu confessed!
The company commander, the instructor, and the platoon commander asked me to come back with an explanation. He felt that Squad Leader Zhao was sure to kill some more bandits, and the bandits who were killed by Squad Leader Zhao today were all old bandits from Evil Dragon Village.
Most of the remaining ones who are still alive are new bandits who have joined the Evil Dragon Village, and their combat effectiveness is not very strong. He asked us to bring more people over tomorrow, and by the way, we would move back to the village with the grain and money that the evil dragon village had stolen over the years.
Considering that there would be a war at night, squad leader Zhao only left veterans who had been in the army for at least one year, and the other recruits came back with me. There weren't many bullets brought back this time, and squad leader Zhao kept a little more. But the extra guns made me carry them back! ’
'Have you seen squad leader Zhao?' ’
'See! He asked me to carry these guns back. Oh, and I still have forty-eight pieces of ocean in my pocket, also touched from the corpses of bandits. As for the other seizures, we can't carry them back because there are so many things. ’
Looking at the forty-eight silver dollars that Li Chengwu took out from his pocket, the company commander directly pushed them to Song Jun and said, "You can take it!" ”
After inquiring about the incident in detail, Zhu Chengxi thought for a while and said, "Old Song, I want to bring someone over tonight." I also want to see if this iron tiger has really recovered! On the company's side, you look a little more! ”
'Okay, but you have to be careful! You take all the veterans with you, and the new ones stay! ’
Even if Song Jun felt a little worried, he knew it too. Now the company has recruited a lot of new soldiers, but there is an extreme shortage of supplies and guns. If you can get rid of the evil dragon village, you won't have to worry about guns and food in a short time.
After a brief dinner, Zhu Chengxi gathered the remaining veterans of the company, and after taking Li Chengwu with him, a team of more than 30 people lit torches and marched in the direction of Evil Dragon Village again.
When Zhu Chengxi led the team to the Evil Dragon Ridge, Liu Cheng and the others who stayed on the Evil Dragon Ridge all looked at the goats on the fire one by one. Originally, they were worried about starvation, but they really didn't expect to be able to eat meat in the deep mountains.
What they admired the most was that these prey were all found by Zhao Tiehu. According to Zhao Tiehu's meaning, there is still a battle at night, and you must fill your stomach first to have strength. Even though there is still no salt, everyone still eats deliciously.
'Lao Zhao, your baking skills are amazing! ’
'What is this!' It's still no salt and no chili, and if you have these things, the roasted things will taste better. After the bandits at the foot of the mountain are destroyed, we will go into the mountains again, there are really a lot of prey in this mountain!
Eating sweet potatoes and gnawing on the nest every day, how can the soldiers be strong. If you want to train elite soldiers, meat is very important. If we don't have the money to buy it, then we can only figure it out by ourselves. Forget it, we'll talk about that later! ’
As an iron-blooded mercenary who traveled through later generations, Zhao Tiehu understands better than anyone else. At this moment, in addition to the lack of clothes and ammunition in the Eighth Route Army, the troops are not well fed, which also limits the strength of the soldiers in the troops!
Since he had decided to work in the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Tiehu naturally hoped to train a group of elite soldiers. Only in this way will he not fall into the predicament of fighting alone when he fights with the little devil in the future!
