Chapter 57: Departure
"General, the third brother is back" Xiaodoujing Luo Ying ran in from outside, and the general was the code name that everyone gave to Zhao Zhiqi. Zhao Zhi doesn't let everyone call each other by name when they act, a simple and smooth code name for everyone is the best choice, Zhao Zhi's general is good, but when it is Luo Ying's turn, he becomes Douding, who makes him the smallest one. Like Ye Kong's nickname, it is the most advantageous to take advantage of people, called young master, which was given by Zhao Zhi personally, and no one else should be called.
"General, I'm back" With a body of dust and sweat on his face, Meng San rubbed his thighs and hips and limped in, and the full 30 miles of mountain roads made him sitting on horseback almost fall apart. "It's the same as you said, there are four foreign devils, this is what they wrote, and they can't understand what it is like a ghost drawing" Meng San took out a folded note from the mezzanine of his belt and handed it to Zhao Zhi.
The note was written in English by a missionary named Mike, to the effect that they were safe and that the people who picked them up were treating them well, giving them food and medicine, and providing them with clothing and a place to sleep. Zhao Zhi didn't know if this was a good word for the guerrillas, but judging from this note, the guerrillas were still very good to these foreigners, and they gave them clothes and medicines for food and shelter.
In the early days of the war against the Yue Army, not to mention the guerrillas, even some of the main forces of the Eighth Route Army were also short of weapons and food, not to mention medicines. The guerrillas have put in such a big effort for a few big-nosed foreigners, and it seems that they are bound to win this deal with Zhao Zhi.
"Departure" Zhao Zhi carried his gun bag and got on the horse, this will still be in the Zhuangzi, Zhao Zhi and they can't hang weapons on their bodies in front of these villagers, then at least they have to wait until they enter the mountain. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to walk, so everyone had to put their gun bags and backpacks on horseback, and they themselves followed Zhang Jinquan into the mountain with the reins.
Zhao Zhi's first place this time was Luoxia Town, which was more than 100 miles away from Xiaozhangzhuang, more than 100 miles that refers to the journey around the mountain by taking the main road, Zhao Zhi and they followed Zhang Jinquan to take the mountain path, and only need to cross a few mountains to reach Luoxia Town, which can not only avoid the checkpoints on the road, but also shorten the distance by more than half.
The reason why Zhao Zhi chose Luoxia Town first was because there was a squad of Yue Jun and 50 Imperial Association troops stationed in Luoxia Town, as long as he could successfully take them, Zhao Zhi would get one-third of the amount of weapons. 12 38 rifles, 50 Hanyang-made, two Taisho 11 young machine guns and a 50 grenadier canister, and more importantly, they also have a truck that usually transports supplies, which is what Zhao Zhi wants most.
With trucks and military uniforms, Zhao Zhi was able to take his own people to pretend to be the army to sweep the strongholds of the army and the Imperial Association around Luoxia Town, and would not attract the flames of war to Xiaozhangzhuang. As long as Zhao Zhi's actions went smoothly, it would only take two days for Zhao Zhi to get the ammunition and supplies promised to the guerrillas. If he was lucky, Zhao Zhi could also take his own people to pretend to be the army and drive the missionaries all the way back to Tianjin in a truck.
On the first night of arriving in Xiaozhangzhuang, when Zhao Zhi and Ye Kong made a battle plan, except for herself, everyone else was stunned, not Zhao Zhi's arrogance, but stunned and Zhao Zhi's careful planning. Not only are they interlocking, but even the remedies in the event of a failure of the battle plan have been thought out. More than half of Zhao Zhi's subordinates have seen his ferocity, and they didn't expect that they would one day follow Zhao Zhi to take the initiative to find trouble with them.
The zigzag mountain road seems to be endless, after turning over the two hills, Zhao Zhi ordered to rest, according to Zhang Jinquan's description, a few more hills are about to enter the boundary of Luoxia Town. Among Zhao Zhi's subordinates, only Ye Kong and Yan Wudao had personally killed Yu himself before joining, and after stepping out of Zhangjiakou, Zhao Zhi also caught a few lone soldiers and gave them to Yu Dazhi to practice. If you want to say that this person in the rivers and lakes is black, even a little bean like Luo Ying did not hesitate to attack Yue himself, only Mo Lun couldn't do it, so this time Zhao Zhi did not take Mo Lun out, Mo Lun's strength lies in forging documents, not killing Yue himself.
"Okay, let's get on the equipment, no one should see it here" Zhao Zhi looked around with a telescope, it seemed that it should be safe, so everyone opened the gun bag and took out their weapons. Zhao Zhi and Ye Kong both used a 97 sniper rifle, the difference is that Zhao Zhi carried the sniper rifle on his back, hung a submachine gun with a homemade triangular gun belt on his chest, and hung a submachine gun cartridge strap under the left and right ribs, which could carry 8 30-round magazines, and there was a cartridge box on his waist, which contained 60 rounds of Tomosaka rifle cartridges, if you add the high-powered pistol and 3 spare magazines inserted in his leg belt, Zhang Zhi's body weight exceeded 20 kilograms.
Since he came to this era, Zhao Zhi has never relaxed his exercise, he has calculated that if he carries a weight of 30 kilograms, he can continue to run 15 kilometers, and he can complete it in 30 minutes. Of course, the others were not as perverted as Zhao Zhi, each of them was just a submachine gun and a Mauser submachine gun, plus some spare bullets, which had already made their movements a little slow. Now is not the time to train their physical fitness, Zhao Zhi asked them to hang up their weapons, just to let them experience it first, don't when the time comes to fight against Yue Jun, there will be people who are at a loss for what to do.
Zhao Zhi also prepared a weapon for Zhang Jinquan, which was a delicate steel crossbow, which was no more than 60 centimeters long and wide, and could shoot iron crossbow arrows with three-edged arrows 100 meters away, and could pierce a three-centimeter-thick wooden plank. Zhang Jinquan, who was born in a Zhuang family, had never been exposed to firearms before, and he had never seen American-style submachine guns and pistols, so he now only used steel crossbows like Luo Ying.
It already made Zhang Jinquan very happy, and at Zhao Zhi's suggestion, Zhang Jinquan shot an arrow with a steel crossbow, and after the iron arrow flew smoothly out of dozens of meters, it accurately hit the tree that Zhang Jinquan was aiming at. When Zhang Jinquan went to pull back the iron arrow, he found that the iron crossbow arrow had been deeply rooted in the trunk of the tree, and he had to use a hunting knife to dig a big hole in the tree to take the crossbow arrow off.
