Chapter 16: The Unexpected (Part II)
Zhang Wanbiao's words put Cheng Sankui and Song Chao in a dilemma. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
To tell the truth, after so many days of long-distance running and continuous fighting, the first company has long been a major general who is short of troops. Of the more than 150 fierce soldiers of the company at the time of departure, there are now less than 100 people left, and some of them are wounded, and less than 80 can stand and pick up their guns to participate in the battle. Even the communicators and cooks, when the battle is fierce, have to pick up the guys and go into battle to kill the enemy. Three platoon commanders, one sacrificed and one was seriously injured, and only one Liang Jianbin was left alive; There are only four squad leaders left of the nine combat squads, of which the second squad leader of the second platoon has changed three times from the time of departure. A main company was beaten to a half-crippled, and its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced, and now it was in urgent need of personnel replenishment. Although the combat effectiveness of these dozen or so puppet soldiers is still unknown, at least they are a fresh blood, which can alleviate the big problem of the tension of the personnel of the company.
But what made Cheng Sankui and Song Chao hesitate was that they were now interspersed behind enemy lines, and there was no time to screen these puppet soldiers who surrendered. Who knows if there will be any mischief and ill-intentioned people in it? Xu Deli is a living example, a traitor who is against the water and almost delayed a big event. If it weren't for the fact that the country was too rebellious and almost single-handedly reversed the situation, I'm afraid that Yilian would have fallen into a situation from which he would never recover. The two of them were bitten by a snake once, and they were afraid of the well rope for ten years, you look at me, I look at your big eyes, and no one dares to make a rash decision.
Another problem that cannot be ignored is that interspersing behind enemy lines is like trying to survive in the cracks. The logistics support system of the Eighth Route Army was not perfect in the first place, and it was impossible to talk about logistics support for such a lone army. The whole company has already reached the point of several meters into the pot, if it were not for the recovery of everything in the early spring, a large number of wild vegetables can be collected, I am afraid that without the help of devils, even hunger can wipe out the entire army.
Now their own security is a big problem, and if you bring these dozen people, there will be more than a dozen mouths waiting for dinner. Judging from the current situation, there will definitely be a lot of big battles and vicious battles in the future, and the days interspersed behind enemy lines must continue for some time. No matter how tight the manpower is, Cheng Sankui and Song Chao don't dare to pull people into the team casually. Otherwise, who knows if the secretary who has no rice in the pot will cook himself with red eyes.
When several people were struggling and making difficult choices, they heard Jiang Shan say calmly: "Company commander, instructor, take it." I'll take them! ā
Cheng Sankui and Song Chao followed the prestige, only to see Jiang Shan looking at him with blazing eyes. Seeing that the two commanders were still hesitating, the reward gritted his teeth and said categorically: "Company commander, instructor, if you can get out alive this time, I promise to hand over to the two of you an absolutely different team!" ā
Cheng Sankui and Song Chao glanced at each other, and after making eye contact, they finally made a decision. Song Chao said: "Okay! Zhang Wanbiao, you and your brothers, I will accept it! Follow me to fight devils! In the future, you will be under the direct command of Jiang Shan, and a new combat squad will be established, with Jiang Shan as the squad leader. But there is one thing, I can say it in advance, our Eighth Route Army is no better than the Central Army. The equipment is poor, and the logistics support cannot keep up. Those who want to drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in large chunks should break off this idea as soon as possible, and those who want to be promoted and make a fortune should find another way. Landscape! You can be regarded as the first meritorious person in this battle, but you are not strict in the management of the soldiers in this class, and you do not grasp the ideological situation in time, and you have such a scum as Xu Deli. Therefore, I have discussed with the company commander, and the merits and demerits are commensurate, and you will not be commended for your combat exploits, and you will not be held accountable for Xu Deli's matter, is there a problem? ā
Jiang Shan was not interested in receiving awards for meritorious service, so he smiled freely and said indifferently: "No problem!" ā
Cheng Sankui and Song Chao didn't say anything more, and the two of them stopped caring about the country and walked to the stronghold together.
Zhang Wanbiao and others were surprised and delighted, but they didn't expect that their whimsical idea would really become a reality. In the future, he will be regarded as an upright soldier of the Eighth Route Army, although the days are definitely not as moisturized as now, but at least in front of the villagers in the future, he will be able to hold his head up and be a man. More than a dozen people looked at Jiang Shan who was helping them speak, with a look of gratitude. Everyone is not a fool, and if it weren't for the help of the squad leader in front of me, who seemed to be weak, it would be hard to say.
Zhang Wanbiao just wanted to say two sentences to show his loyalty, but he saw Jiang Shan waving his hand indifferently, and said lightly: "In the future, they will all be soldiers, eat in one pot and sleep in the other, so don't fix those vain heads." If you really want to thank me, then follow me to practice my skills and kill a few more devils on the battlefield. I can say it, my training is different from others, and if I can't bear this hardship, I don't want the bear soldiers who are sloppy. ā
More than a dozen soldiers of the New Eighth Route Army were aroused by what he said, and they looked at him one by one with their heads held high. Zhang Wanbiao seemed to have become the backbone of these dozen people, and said proudly: "Rest assured, squad leader, we are all descendants of the Zhuang family, and it is okay to endure hardships or anything!" We used to be dogs for the Japanese, what was that time like? Now you can afford us, no matter what, if we are cowardly on the battlefield in the future, we will be squatting and peeing! ā
At this time, the communicator trotted all the way to Jiang Shan, "snapped" a stand, saluted and said: "Squad Leader Jiang, the company commander and the instructor asked me to inform you, go see them immediately!" ā
Jiang Shan looked at the communicator, his brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything, just tidied up his military uniform, turned his head and walked towards the stronghold. The communicator was confused by him, the look in Squad Leader Jiang just now was not quite right, when did he provoke this killing god? After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure out a clue, so he simply stopped thinking about this laborious matter.
As soon as he walked into the stronghold, he heard Cheng Sankui's loud voice laughing: "Haha, I said Lao Song, now we can send it!" With these things, Lao Tzu is not afraid of anything! ā
Jiang Shan walked over suspiciously, and as soon as he turned the corner, his eyes stared at the ground, and he couldn't pick them up anymore.
A room was full of all kinds of weapons and ammunition, all buttered and unopened! Needless to say, there are 20 Taisho 11-year-old light machine guns, and the most conspicuous ones are the four Type 92 heavy machine guns in the middle. There were also two mortars and ten grenadiers. Rao is Jiangshan had already known from Harano Takasuke that there was a whole squadron of equipment in it, but he was still taken aback.
But these are not the most surprising to Jiang Shan, what surprised him the most were the two inconspicuous boxes piled up in the corner. Jiang Shan glanced at it, walked over quickly and opened the two green boxes, then turned around and said to Cheng Sankui and Song Chao: "Company commander, instructor!" We'll be able to break out of the encirclement alive! ā
Inside the box, there are two sets of brand-new Japanese military radio stations, hand-cranked generators and antennas and other items! Jiang Shan hurriedly called Zhang Wanbiao in, and asked suspiciously: "Zhang Wanbiao, there is obviously a radio station in the Japanese stronghold, why didn't you send a report to other strongholds and ask for support when we were surrounded just now?" ā
Zhang Wanbiao said: "In the Thirteen Zhai stronghold, there were radio soldiers, and two days ago, the little devil was unlucky, and the lard was blinded, and he shouted that he wanted to find the flower girl, and as a result, the people cut off their heads with a knife. No one else can play with this thing, so they put it in a box and put it here. Later, it was said that there was going to be another radio soldier, and before he came, our Eighth Route Army would end it here. In normal times, the Japanese troops here communicate with the above by telephone. ā
Jiang Shan smiled at Cheng Sankui and Song Chao, who were still in the clouds, and said, "Instructor, company commander, it seems that God is helping us!" I'll use this thing! ā
