Rapid march.

Zhang Chu's happiness troubles.

After the elimination of the Japanese Ko Songgang Brigade, there was a great gain.

The Shaozo-level command knife alone is worth 1 million. The previous investment is fully recouped.

There is also a large amount of recyclables.

Type 38 rifles, there are more than 150 of them.

Seventy-nine series rifles, there are more than 220 units.

Light machine guns of various series, there are more than 40 units.

3 Japanese Type 92 heavy machine guns.

The number of grenadiers was very large, a full thirty.

There are also more than 30 other command knives at all levels.

In addition, there are more than a dozen flower mechanisms and more than a dozen shell guns. All were captured from the puppet army.

Happiness.

And with that comes annoyance.

Do you want to upgrade them all?

Almost 400 rifles, do you want to upgrade them all? Each upgrade costs anywhere from 500-800. If you upgrade them all, it will take about 300,000 yuan.

Light machine guns can be upgraded in their entirety. The cost of each upgrade ranges from 15,000 to 20,000.

The heavy machine gun can be upgraded to the M2HB large-caliber heavy machine gun. The upgrade cost also ranges from 15,000 to 20,000 per stick.

The grenadier can be upgraded to a mortar. The upgrade cost also ranges from 15,000-20,000.

Sufficient funds.

It's still acceptable to grit your teeth.

The problem is, there is no one.

All heavy weapons need to be served.

A mortar generally requires five people. Two carry guns. Three carrying shells.

This is an 81-mm mortar. The portions are much larger.

Now the partisans have a total of fifteen mortars, which means that 50-75 people are needed just to serve the mortars. Obviously, there are not so many of them.

The three militia captains in charge of the mortar were all tired enough.

If you want to talk about Lao Zhu, Lao Hu, and Lao Miao, the three of them are also happy troubles now.

Before, they never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to control so many mortars.

Five doors per person!

50 shells per gun!

Flattered.

Cool crooked.

Before he could speak, he cracked his mouth and smiled.

When I was fighting devils, the shells were smashed one by one. Cool flying.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

How crisp and pleasant the sound of the cannon ejection.

No matter how elite the devils were, under the intensive shell bombardment, all of them were blown into flying ashes. The infantry also went up to clean up the battlefield. And then it's over.

It was really because of the fifteen mortars that he was able to quickly take the Ponyville stronghold again.

Not a single Japanese soldier stationed in the stronghold remained, and all of them were wiped out.

There are less than a hundred remnants of the puppet army. All of them were deaf in both ears and glazed eyes, looking like corpses.

No one has more credit than mortars.

However, when the troops were about to march to Ping'an County, they had a hard time.

And you have to carry the cannonball, and you have to carry the cannonball. Where are there so many people?

Lao Hu himself carried a base plate and six 81-mm shells, and his body was heavy.

Fortunately, Zhang Chu has the ability to get hundreds of catties of white noodles from God. Hurry up and hurry, and directly make noodle soup and drink it, so that you have the strength to go on the road.

It's not that other people don't want to help. It can't help.

The weight of others is also quite impressive.

Each of them carried a lot of weapons and ammunition. A sitting duck.

The Garand semi-automatic rifle weighed nine pounds, the 120 rounds of ammunition weighed more than four pounds, and four grenades......

In addition, two people had to carry a box of bullets.

Zhang Chu also released a little more bullets before. Thirty boxes.

A box of bullets is actually very heavy. According to the calculation of 22.66 grams per bullet, a box of 1,500 rounds is more than 30 kilograms. That's sixty or seventy pounds.

It's okay to carry it on the spot alone. But to carry the march in a hurry is definitely a huge burden.

It usually takes two people to take turns to replace them. Or even three.

In fact, if you change to a capacity of 1,000 rounds, it may be easier to handle.

Unfortunately, I didn't have a choice.

Luckily, there are wheelbarrows that can help with the carrying.

However, it always feels like there is a shortage of manpower.

Especially after Xiong Dingshan left with an experienced main force. The rest are newbies.

The most important thing at the moment is not weapons and equipment, but people!

There are weapons and equipment. But no one.

To attack Ping'an County, people are also needed.

"Staff Officer Zhang, I have already sent someone to contact the county brigade and district team."

"The nearby places are armed, and we all sent people. When they get the news, they will rush here. ”

"You should be able to get three or four hundred people."

Guo Huai made a rough estimate. I'm not too sure.

After all, around Ping'an County, there are all security fortress areas of devils. There are often devils, puppet soldiers, and traitor activities.

The local people, intimidated by the intimidation of the devils, did not dare to get too close to the Eighth Road.

All kinds of anti-Japanese armed forces are operating here, and they also need to be careful.

"Are there any other garrisons nearby?"

"Yes."

"What's the number?"

"The 357th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army."

"357 regiment?"

Zhang Chu was a little curious.

The 358th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is famous. Regiment Leader Chu Yunfei!

It turns out that there is also a 357 regiment!

Find out.

The results were disappointing.

This 357 regiment is completely made up.

It is stationed in the area of Taiping Town. The number of troops is just over 1,000. Usually there is no movement.

The devil doesn't seem to go to Taiping Town to sweep. They're not harassers. Everyone's well water does not interfere with the river water, and everything is safe. If you want to say that there is no cat in it, no one will believe it.

"How's the relationship with our Eighth Route Army?"

"General."

"Be specific."

"It doesn't have anything to do with us. But it doesn't invade us. We passed through Taiping Town, and they didn't stop us. Pretend not to know. ”

"What's the name of the regimental leader?"

"Chen Feng."

Zhang Chu thought about it seriously. Sorry, not impressed.

It is estimated that it is an average person. It can't be similar to Chu Yunfei. Expect such people to fight devils, forget it.

As long as they don't come to harass the Eighth Route Army, they won't be considered enemies for the time being.

"This 357 regiment turned out to be not the Jin Sui Army. It seems to be what was left after the 93rd Army was dismantled. It is said that my father doesn't care about my mother, and I barely live in Taiping Town. ”

"They don't dare to offend us Balu. Otherwise, we will send out our troops and destroy him. ”

"By the way, there's also a Ninth Route Army."

"The Ninth Route Army is actually a group of bandits, but there are three or four hundred people. The boss is called Sun Chihai. Nicknamed Fire Burning Cloud ......"

"Wait!"

Zhang Chu suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it virtually.

Someone snooped.

Right!

Someone snooping!

Without thinking, he took a Garand semi-automatic rifle.

Turn around.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two shots in a row.

Hit the side of the woods in the distance.

Moments later, he fired two more shots. And then move steadily.

Guo Huai and the others hurriedly chased after them with guns.

Zhang Chu approached the grove step by step.

To say that it is a grove is an exaggeration. It's just a few dozen trees. And the grass.

Winter. Trees fall leaves. The grass withered. Earthy brown patch.

"Don't move."

"Get out on your own."

"Otherwise......"

Zhang Chu said word by word.

Guo Huai and the others all looked at each other. I don't know why.

They didn't notice anything unusual in the grove. Could it be that there is someone in it?

However......

It's not moving!

"Bang!"

Zhang Chu fired another shot.

Others are going to shoot as well. But was stopped by Zhang Chu.

Moments later......

A figure slowly stood up.

His face was covered with dirt. He was draped in an earthy yellow sack.

No wonder it wasn't discovered.

It turned out to be too well camouflaged.

It's a pity that it was discovered by Zhang Chu.

Wrong. It should be said that fortunately, it was discovered by Zhang Chu. Otherwise......
