"Sir, I'll go talk to them." Zhang Lijuan suddenly volunteered.

"Good!" Zhang Chu nodded. A thought flashed. Then he gave up.

He wanted to organize all these female soldiers into combat units.

Anyway, they were all in military uniforms.

Equipping them with Type 5 or 6 semi-automatic rifles should be fine.

Many female militiamen in later generations used five or six semi-automatic rifles, which were heroic. The great men have said that women can hold up half the sky.

But in the end, there was no opening.

Men haven't died yet, let women go to war?

Shame on the man's face!

But these guys and porters in front of them must take up arms and fight.

There is no room for negotiation.

When the survival of the nation is in danger, it is not your turn to push back.

Someone began to slaughter horses.

It's a pity that so many horses were killed.

In order not to waste them, they must all be eaten as quickly as possible. Or to preserve horse meat.

At this time, those guys finally came into play.

They are like butchers, skillfully slaughtering horses and cutting out their meat. Stacked together.

There are a lot of them.

I can't finish it anytime soon. It must be preserved with salt.

The question is......

There is no salt.

I had to put it there for now, and then plan later.

There are already people here who are boiling water and starting to cook meat. All of them were starving. It's all shining.

Chen Lijuan is back.

"They put forward conditions. One ocean per person per month. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Chu readily agreed.

It's just an ocean. He paid out of his own pocket.

It is estimated that Lao Wang has no extra money.

"Poof!"

The package landed.

Inside is a sea of white flowers.

"Wow!"

"Wow!"

It immediately attracted countless eyes.

Zhang Chu didn't mind. Deliberately let those white flowers and flowers be displayed unabashedly.

Want the ocean?

Take the head of the Japanese in exchange!

"Ma Liwu!"

"Here!"

"How many Japanese did we eliminate just now?"

"About a thousand infantry, about four hundred cavalry."

"Okay, I'll give you 14,000 oceans! As a battle reward! ”

"Huh?"

Ma Liwu was stunned.

Fourteen thousand oceans? So much?

How many people are there in total? It seems like only 500 people!

If it continues to be distributed like this, almost everyone will be able to get more than 20 oceans!

Of course, it is impossible to average the scores.

He who dies in battle will take the lion's head. The rest are distributed according to the merits of the battle.

However, there are so many oceans, it is much easier to distribute. The morale of the officers and soldiers will definitely be higher.

Money is not everything. But you can't do without money.

If food and salaries are in arrears for a long time, how can the troops be combat-effective? After fighting, it broke up.

"Sir......

Ma Liwu wanted to speak and stopped.

It feels like there are too many oceans. This is a battle!

If you continue to fight like this, you can kill more Japanese criminals. Doesn't that mean that there are more ocean rewards?

It's impossible to think about......

Who comes to so many oceans?

"This is my personal reward for you."

"I've got money!"

Zhang Chu said unabashedly.

Money alone is definitely not enough. The army cannot value only money.

However, basic food must be guaranteed!

Others, Wang Yaowu, all knew about setting up a biscuit factory, engaging in a big side business, making some money, and giving officers and soldiers an extra salary.

"Don't worry about anything else!"

"You just need to kill the Japanese criminals!"

"The more Japanese criminals you kill, the more rewards you get!"

Zhang Chu said in a deep voice.

Ma Liwu rubbed his hands excitedly.

What a lord the heavens have favored them! I've never met such a good officer!

Not only is there an endless supply of weapons and ammunition!

And now the ocean!

"Thank you, sir!"

"Go! Distribute them all! ”

"Yes!"

Ma Liwu immediately went down to make arrangements.

Soon, the current ocean was all distributed. Those who died in war received the most pensions.

For every soldier who died in the battle before, there were one hundred and fifty oceans! There are also fifty oceans of wounded! Others are distributed according to merit. Several, or dozens.

No one complained.

Without the ocean, they will also fight.

They have been emboldened by victory. There is no fear of the Japanese invaders.

What about the Japanese cavalry?

It's not the same as killing!

A cavalry brigade, a burst of anti-aircraft machine gun fire, all of them fell down!

In the future, if you encounter the Japanese cavalry, you will torture and kill the other party in minutes.

The battle is getting easier. The hope of winning is growing. Morale, of course, is getting high.

"Chen Lijuan!"

Zhang Chu continued to shout.

He had a good impression of the female captain.

Not pretty. Never mind. The key is to be capable. There are also strong women among women.

What do you want to be so beautiful on the battlefield? Does it boost the morale of the devils? The more ordinary, the better.

"Sir?"

"In the future, each of you female soldiers will be given an extra ocean every month."

"But we don't have the ...... weapons"

"You don't need weapons. You are paid the same wages as the male soldiers. An extra ocean is a special subsidy for your female soldiers. ”

"Huh?"

Chen Lijuan was surprised and delighted.

Suddenly, tears welled up.

In fact, these female soldiers play a very embarrassing role.

Although in military uniform. But in fact, there is no real soldier treatment. It can even be said that it is supernumerary. It's tiring to work and the income is low.

There are also a lot of bad remarks. Said that they were selling their bodies. It's a military chicken. There are all kinds of ugly words.

But there is another way out. They probably all left the army.

However, many of them are miserable, helpless, and have no relatives, so they can only survive in the army.

Wish?

What hope? None of them knew what hope was.

"Do a good job!"

"I guarantee your safety!"

"If you encounter any unfair treatment, I will help you out!"

Zhang Chu was sonorous.

He is now not afraid of other people's nonsense.

Say whatever you want.

"Thank you, sir!"

"Plus, I'll give you another batch of weapons to defend yourself from!"

"Huh?"

Chen Lijuan was stunned again.

Do they still have weapons? Can they still have weapons?

Bite one's tongue.

saw that Zhang Chu had already arranged it in place.

Now the ocean.

Type 56 semi-automatic rifle. And bullets.

It's all set.

A total of fifty Type 56 semi-automatic rifles. Each gun is dispensed with 100 rounds.

Almost.

They just need to defend themselves.

The goal of self-defense is one's own people. It's not a Japanese costard. The Japanese invaders can't come to their side.

If the Japanese invaders rushed to their side, it means that the men around them are dead. Then there is no way. However, as long as he Zhang Chu is still alive, such a thing will not happen!

"Thank you, sir. We are grateful for your great kindness......"

"Help me wash my uniform later."

"Good!"

Chen Lijuan suddenly burst into tears and laughed.

Wash military uniforms? No problem!

We also help you make shoes.

Guaranteed to do well.

Immediately, other female soldiers were arranged to come up to collect the ocean, as well as weapons.

It turned out that they were depressed and restless, but they were all working hard. I feel hopeful. They finally have a backer now.

This Zhou Commander is so powerful, he will definitely help them.

Of course, there is a premise, that is, they themselves must be competitive enough. Don't disgrace the face of the Governor of the Circumference.

"Slap ......"

"Slap ......"

Gunshots were heard again.

A sentry came to report that it was the arrival of the Japanese infantry.

The number is about one brigade.

It's the Japanese brigade from before. But then it was preempted by the Japanese cavalry.

Odd......

Zhang Chu frowned secretly.

Why did this Japanese infantry brigade still attack?

Don't you know that your own cavalry has suffered heavy losses?

"Slap ......"

"Slap ......"

Suddenly, there was another gunshot in the west.

Another soldier came to report, and a large number of Japanese invaders also appeared in the west. The quantity is unknown.

Zhang Chu: ???

Good guys, two at the same time?

Caught between two sides?

Good!

Come on!

Against!

"Slap ......"

"Slap ......"

Suddenly, there was another gunshot from the east.

An unknown number of Japanese invaders have also appeared here. Judge at least one brigade.

"Slap ......"

"Slap ......"

Afterwards, gunshots were heard from the south.

There were also a large number of Japanese invaders. Aggressive. There is also a Nakasa.

Confirmed.

In the southeast, northwest, and four directions, a large number of Japanese invaders appeared.

According to the observation of the Tang Dynasty, the attacking Japanese invaders belonged to different units. One is the Hata detachment. One is the 13 Division.

"Are you sure, it's the Thirteenth Division?"

"Sure."

Tang Dynasty replied in the affirmative.

He used the telescope that Zhang Chu had given him. See it clearly.

It's the 13th Division of the Japanese Army!

It was not the 14th Division of the Japanese Army.

"Sir, we're surrounded!"

"Sir, our intelligence is wrong, in fact, the devil has two divisions ......"

"The devil has hidden the strength ......"

Ma Liwu, Wang Qinglin and others were all highly nervous.

So many Japanese criminals, killed from different directions. It was clearly premeditated.

They fell into the encirclement of the Japanese invaders.

Judging the strength of the Japanese invaders, there were at least four brigades. That's 4,000 people!

Boy!

There are 4,000 of them......

The thought of this number is a big head! More than a wing!

And the national army gathered around Zhang Chu had less than 500 people. Unless you add those porters and men, there will be more than a thousand people.

The problem is that those porters and guys have no combat effectiveness at all!

How will this battle be fought?

"Where did the 13th Japanese Division come from?"

"Hell knows! The intelligence services eat dry food. The devil doesn't even know if there is one more division! ”

"The devil is transported by water. I guess outsiders don't know. ”

"Yes, the devil occupies the ...... of the Yangtze River waterway"

The crowd whispered stupidly.

In the end, all eyes focused on Zhang Chu's body. Their hopes are here.

If there is someone who can lead them out of danger? It's just this Governor of the Week.

"Tang Dynasty!"

"It's coming!"

"Are there any rural market towns nearby?"

"To the south is the town of Mahe."

"Are there still people?"

"It's long gone."

"Okay. Deliver my order and march immediately towards the town of Mahe. ”

"Sir, we're surrounded."

"Encirclement can't attack? Offensive! ”

"Yes!"

The Tang Dynasty hurriedly went to pass the order.

Ma Liwu, Wang Qinglin, Wu Daming and others all looked at each other.

What?

Attack to the south?

Isn't it time to retreat to the north?

Only by going north can the encirclement be opened! To the north is Shucheng!

To the south is the Lujiang River.

To the south, it is to go deep into the innermost part of the encirclement.

The Japanese invaders now occupy the Lujiang River. And with Lujiang as a base, it formed an encirclement of the 57th Division of the National Army. Even tried to form an encirclement of the entire 74th Army.

"Sir......

"Attack south! To the south! ”

"Sir......

"Execute the order!"

Zhang Chu's expression was solemn.

Ma Liwu and the others no longer dared to doubt it. Hurriedly give the order.

Immediately attack south.

Zhang Chu personally led the team.

He carried a Czech-made semi-automatic rifle in his hand. Comes with a 20-round magazine.

Stride forward.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

When encountering Japanese invaders, they will open fire.

Basically, at a distance of four hundred meters, it was already killed.

One shot at a time.

One shot at a time.

"Up!"

"Up!"

Other officers and soldiers caught up.

Many officers and soldiers followed Zhang Chu with submachine guns.

If you encounter a Japanese attacker, fire immediately.

I didn't meet ......

Get out of the Three Mile Field. Finally met the Japanese invaders.

It's a squadron of Japanese invaders.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

The two sides fought fiercely on the road.

All kinds of firepower poured down. The Japanese were immediately suppressed. More than half of the casualties were killed in an instant.

The leader of the Japanese squadron who led the team was already fatal with a single shot before he even saw who the enemy was. Subsequently, other Japanese officers were also killed.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Snipers are very active.

They're going to grab heads. A Japanese head is worth 10 oceans!

Who can hold it?

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Submachine guns took the opportunity to assault.

A fierce strafing shot knocked the remaining Japanese invaders to the ground.

The Japanese had no chance to resist at all.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Da Da Da ......"

Completely the world of automatic weapons.

With more than a hundred submachine guns firing at the same time, how many Japanese can withstand it?

This is still the road terrain, which restricts the deployment of the national army. Otherwise, hundreds of submachine guns will fire at the same time, and even a Japanese squadron will not be able to withstand it.

"It's here!"

Soon open the channel. Ahead is the town of Mahe.

Actually, it's very close. It is less than three kilometers.

When I came to Mahe Town, I found that there was already a national army stationed here. There are quite a few of them.

"It's Peng Jianying!"

Tang Chao shouted happily.

Hurried into the town and contacted the other party.

Zhang Chu breathed a sigh of relief.

It doesn't matter what battalion it is. The key is to have people.

Soon after, the Tang Dynasty appeared with a stocky major.

Stand up and salute.

"Sir!"

"Hello!"

Zhang Chu raised his hand and returned the salute.

My heart is a lot lighter.

Found this Peng Jian camp, it seems that the combat effectiveness is good?

The battalion commander in front of him is less than 1.6 meters tall. It looked like a tree stump. But the limbs are powerful. Eyes are sharp.

Yes, at first glance, it is an old battlefield. A veteran of veterans.

Definitely able to fight.

"Sir, he is the battalion commander of Peng Jianying, Liu Manfeng. Nicknamed Liu Yishou. ”

"Battalion Commander Liu, this is Chief Zhou."

"Hello sir!"

"How many people are there in your camp now?"

"Report to the sir, there are currently five hundred and eighty-seven people in our battalion."

"So much?"

"We retreated as a group. Shizuo personally ordered us to hold on to Mahe Town. Until the retreat of the division headquarters. ”

"Oh? Your division headquarters is also going to retreat from here? ”

"Yes!"

"Good!"

Zhang Chu was relieved.

If the main forces of the 57th Division retreat from here, there is still some hope.

He will take Mahe Town as the core and strive to open up the roads at both ends.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't go back to Shucheng.

As long as the main force of the 57th Division can be concentrated, he is sure to help Yu Cheng Wanzhi go back.

That's right. It's to kill back.

Not to continue the retreat. Rather, kill a back carbine. Directly conquer the Lujiang River.

It's man-made.

As long as there are people, weapons, and ammunition, no number of devils are afraid!

And what about two divisions?

As long as the national army can work hard, the five divisions will come up together and do the same!

Find out about Peng Jianying.

This Peng Jian Battalion is one of the most capable battalions of the 57th Division.

The origin of the name is similar to the glorious title. There was a battalion commander named Peng Jian who was particularly brave, so Wang Yaowu awarded him the glorious title of Peng Jian's battalion.

Seriously, many of Lao Wang's practices have some similarities with the Eighth Route Army.

The 74th Army emphasized honor.

So on the whole, the morale of elite soldiers is still relatively high.

For example, now, although I know that I am caught in the siege of the Japanese invaders. However, the officers and soldiers of Peng Jian's battalion were ready for battle and did not have much emotional fluctuations.

But their armament is not much higher.

Most of the soldiers are in use with formal rifles.

Each squad had one Czech light machine gun. The 20-round straight magazine is still used.

Mortars are also available. But there are only three doors. All are 60 mm caliber.

Maxim heavy machine guns are also available. One in each row. But it is not known how many bullets are in reserve.

Nothing else.

"Battalion Commander Liu, how are your ammunition reserves?"

"There's only one cardinality."

"I'll give you a battalion of weapons."

"We?"

Liu Manfeng was puzzled.

What does it mean to give us weapons and ammunition?

We seem to have ......

Then I felt like it was dark in front of my eyes, and it seemed as if something was falling.

Hurriedly took a few steps back. It turned out that there was something in the back as well. Take a closer look. It's a huge package.

"Demolition!"

Zhang Chu waved his hand.

Someone immediately came up and skillfully unwrapped the package.

Inside is the enhanced equipment that Zhang Chu gave to Peng Jianying.

Thirty anti-aircraft machine guns!

Ten 82-mm mortars!

Three hundred Suomi submachine guns!

It's all super firepower!

Since it is an elite unit, it must be equipped with the most elite weapons!

"This ......"

Liu Manfeng was surprised and delighted.

This chief is very capable. I can actually call an airdrop.

He was the main battalion commander of the 57th Division. Of course, I know about airdrops. Gradually, however, it felt like something was wrong.

Doesn't the airdrop require a parachute? Just throw it down like that?

What an exaggeration......

Shake one’s head. Too lazy to think about it.

Hurry up and distribute the equipment. It's all good stuff!

Anti-aircraft machine guns!

That lethality, people block killing, God blocks killing God!

You can also fight devils' tanks!

One dozen and one accurate!

With this thing, the tanks of the Japanese invaders will not be able to wreak havoc. If you dare to come up, you will dare to clean it up!

Mortar! Large-caliber ones!

Submachine gun! So many!

The point is, there are so many bullets! You can't see it at a glance!

It feels like everyone can allocate more than 1,000 rounds. And his original ammunition reserves, each rifle, that is, fifty rounds!

I didn't expect Zhang Chu to make so many pieces at once!

However......

And that's not the most surprising.

The most surprising thing was that he saw a lot of field artillery outside the town, to the south!

"Quick!"

"Quick!"

Wu Daming's shouting came.

It was a little difficult for their artillery battalion to move. Certainly not as fast as the infantry.

Fortunately, those guys and porters are much more active this time. helped pull the field artillery to Mahe Town.

"Cannon!"

"Our cannon!"

"Our cannon!"

The officers and soldiers of Peng Jian's battalion finally began to get excited.

There are cannons!

There are actually field artillery! And so much more!

Awesome!

Liu Manfeng walked out of the town to greet him, and asked nervously: "Wu Daming, where did your cannon come from?" ”

"It was given by Chief Zhou." Wu Daming replied loudly.

Liu Manfeng looked at Zhang Chu in surprise. The eyes are filled with little stars.

Oh, my God! Even field artillery is available! That's a lot!

Okay, okay, so that the town of Mahe is safe.

Even if the Japanese invaders are overwhelming, they can resist for a while.

"Do any of you know how to use the radio?"

"Yes, we have a radio!"

"I'll give you three more radios. You report to the division headquarters and ask them to arrange other troops to move closer to Mahe Town as soon as possible. I'll answer them. ”

"Sir, ...... you?"

"Teach the Corps. Zhou Qing. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Manfeng arranged to go.

But the division headquarters did not call back for a long time. It is estimated that the radio station was not set up.

If I guessed correctly, the division headquarters should be in retreat by now. The route of their retreat should have been through the town of Mahe. This is the way to go.

This also means that the Japanese will definitely fight desperately for Mahe Town.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Gunshots began to ring.

It's not the gunshots of the Japanese invaders. It's a sniper's.

Oh......

Sniper......

Zhang Chu found that he had overlooked one thing.

This Peng Jianying is actually an elite. There must have been a lot of sharpshooters in that.

"Battalion Commander Liu!"

"Here!"

"I'll give you thirty more sniper rifles!"

"Thank you!"

Liu Manfeng didn't feel it anymore.

If it had been before, there were thirty sniper rifles, and it would have been overjoyed.

But now, it seems to be numb.

There were so many weapons and ammunition all at once, and it immediately seemed that thirty sniper rifles were inconspicuous.

Arrange for someone to receive it. Then it will be assigned.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

Moments later, the gunshots rang out intermittently.

Zhang Chu silently observed. found that this Peng Jianying can indeed fight. It's not a loss, it's the main battalion of the main army and the main division!

Sniper rifles are also considered to be used to the fullest.

Four or five hundred meters away, the Japanese were constantly killed. Almost all of them were killed with one shot.

Very good!

The horn of the counterattack is ready to be sounded!
