Chapter 35: The Commander's Expectations

Just as the captain was about to scold to vent his anger, another second lieutenant hurried over. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Captain, there is a situation, we have found traces left by the retreat of the Dirt Eight Road outside the village."

The scolding that the captain was just about to exit was suddenly stifled back, and then stared at the team leader and asked: "In which direction, are you sure that it was left behind by the retreat of the main force of the Eighth Road, not that they deliberately left it in order to hide people's eyes!" ”

"Hey, humility confirmed!" The squad leader was very sure.

"There weren't hundreds of people, and you couldn't have stepped on that kind of crowding. Also, you can enter the mountain by walking more than thirty miles in that direction, and there is a village called Luojiawan in the location of the mountain, because the village is very small, few imperial troops come there! ”

"The Imperial Army has searched in the Lingqiu area for so long and has not encountered the main force of the Eighth Route Army, then their main force must have hidden in the mountains. And Luojiawan, which is rarely visited by the imperial army, is likely to be the entrance and exit of the Tuba Road in and out of the mountain! ”

After staring at the map for a full minute, the captain had a determined expression on his face, and then ordered.

"The whole army is assembled, you go to the front to lead the team, and pursue the dirt eight roads! They brought a lot of weapons and equipment, and they definitely couldn't go fast. If you're lucky, you might even be able to follow them to find the headquarters of the Dirt Eight Road! ”

The mighty procession had barely walked a kilometer when an explosion sounded at the front of the procession.

The captain soon got a report that the forward troops encountered a treacherous mine arranged by the Eighth Route Army, and the three imperial warriors were unfortunately hit by the blow up and were killed and wounded on the march.

The captain was not angry at this time, not only was he not angry, but he was also a little excited.

While ordering the sappers to assist the forward squad to help in the front, he urged the troops to speed up the march.

There were mines on the road, which made the captain more sure of his previous judgment, and it was the main force of the Dirt Eighth Road that he was pursuing. If one is not good, the headquarters of the First Army Division of the Eighth Route Army may be found and destroyed by itself.

On the official road about two kilometers away from the devil, more than 20 Eighth Route Army troops are also rushing in the direction of Luojiawan.

Hearing the explosion behind him, Zhong Yusheng's eyes lit up, and he shouted very excitedly: "Company commander, the devils must have encountered the trick of the mine we arranged, but I don't know how many devils were killed and injured by the explosion!" ”

"No less than two, for sure! The devil's grenade is not comparable to a grenade. An explosion is dozens of fragments, which can cover several meters around! Wang Ping replied confidently.

But it didn't take long for Wang Ping to remind in turn.

"Thunder is easy to use, but it can't be used too much. Little devils are not fools, and it is impossible to be fooled again and again. Therefore, when arranging deceitful mines, only two can be arranged in one place at most, and each place should be a little farther apart. Otherwise, the devils will directly abandon the official road and change to the farmland next to it, then the loss of our base area will be great! ”

Nearly 400 devils chased Wang Ping and his party of more than 20 people, stopping and stopping, and killing Luojiawan.

After six or seven hours of continuous rush, a platoon of the Ruth Guard Company finally returned to the headquarters.

Hearing that the guard company that went out to fight had returned, Yang Chengwu didn't pay much attention to it at first.

But as soon as he heard that Wang Ping did not come back, and the platoon that came back also brought back a large number of seizures. Because the troops took the initiative to attack, Yang Chengwu, who didn't have much to do, suddenly became interested. Then he took the guards straight to the guard company station, which was not far away.

As soon as he walked to the door, Yang Chengwu bumped into Zhang Qing, who came to the headquarters to report.

Seeing the commander who is usually difficult to see, the excitement on Zhang Qing's face can be imagined.

"Commander, I am Zhang Qing, the platoon commander of the first platoon of the guard company, I have a very important matter to report, our company commander asked me to see you and report to you in person!"

During this time, Wang Ping has brought surprises to himself again and again, and the news that Wang Ping attaches so much importance to it must be good news.

This was Yang Chengwu's first thought, and then he stared at Zhang Qing and asked with an expectant expression: "Zhang Qing, I know you, it turned out to be a squad leader of the recruit company!" If you have any news, I will listen! ”

"Yes, Commander!" The excited Zhang Qing hurriedly replied.

"It's a seizure, we have seized a batch of very important materials outside the mountain, and our company commander asked me to hand it over to you personally?"

"Is it a cannon, but I didn't hear that you came back with a cannon?" Yang Chengwu subconsciously asked rhetorically.

Zhang Qing hurriedly replied: "There is a cannon, and it is an 81 mm caliber mortar used by the little devils, but it was left outside the mountain by the company commander, and we only brought back a hundred mortar shells!" ”

Yang Chengwu didn't believe it at first, and then asked with a look of surprise on his face: "You really captured mortars, and there are shells!" ”

"Yes, Commander!" Zhang Qing affirmed with a proud face.

"One mortar, one hundred and fifty shells. One heavy machine gun, 10,000 rounds of heavy machine gun ammunition. And then there are three crooked handles, two grenadiers, seventy or eighty three or eight large covers, and more than 20,000 rounds of ammunition! ”

"So much!" Yang Chengwu showed an incredible expression on his face again.

But thinking of Wang Ping's past achievements, Yang Chengwu was relieved. Then he seemed to have forgotten his original agreement with Wang Ping, and ordered very happily: "Wang Ping really didn't disappoint me, Chief of Staff, you go to the guard company to count the results, the weapons Zhang Qing brought back, give priority to equipping the guard company, as for the heavy machine guns and mortars, wait for Wang Ping to come back and then discuss the issue of handing in." ”

When the chief of staff was about to leave, Zhang Qing reacted suddenly, and then hurriedly reported: "Commander, the materials I want to say are more important than mortars and heavy machine guns!" ”

"It's medicine and silver dollars, and gold. The medicines are all for gunshot wounds, and there are also a lot of anti-inflammatory drugs. ”

"What you say is true? You've got the medicine! The excited Yang Chengwu grabbed Zhang Qing's collar, and then stared at Zhang Qing and asked, afraid that what Zhang Qing said was false, or that he had heard it wrong.

Zhang Qing hurriedly replied: "There is no doubt about it, the medicines, silver dollars, gold, and the tools for the devil's operation, we have all packed them back in boxes, just outside the headquarters, commander, you can let people check them at any time!" ”

"Okay, I'll go see it now. Also, call Dr. Zhang from the field hospital to me immediately, be quick! ”

Because he didn't understand medicine, the first thing Yang Chengwu had to look at was silver dollars and gold.

Looking at the gold and silver in the box, the chief of staff next to him, who was already bright-eyed, immediately affirmed: "Commander, these gold and silver are worth at least 1,500 silver dollars, and if they are exchanged for food, they will be enough for our military division to eat for more than half a year!" ”
