Chapter 10 Harvest
Behind the Japanese artillery tower.
Qin Yangming was fiddling with a large truck he had just discovered.
Looking at the large amount of supplies loaded on the truck.
The Japanese should be delivering supplies to the various artillery towers outside.
As soon as the truck arrived at the artillery tower, Qin Yangming came over with his men.
The remaining supplies were all sold cheaply to them.
"It just so happens that Li Yunlong wants to take my mule and horse team away.
I was just worrying about how to bring the spoils back to the base, and the Japanese really thought of me."
Looking at the truck, Qin Yangming directly ordered the soldiers to load all the spoils onto the truck.
Now there is a road at his base that allows trucks to drive directly into the village.
So there is no need to burn it like before.
There were a lot of supplies in the artillery tower, and Qin Yangming even took the clothes from the Japanese soldiers.
Even the electrical wires inside the turret were left alone.
All the stuff added up filled up the truck.
The squad leader set up a large number of booby traps in the artillery tower according to the method taught by Qin Yangming.
Then he led a group of soldiers to quickly chase after Qin Yangming and others who were going away.
The soldiers of Squad One had just left less than ten minutes ago.
The roar of a truck engine was heard outside the artillery tower.
A truck full of Japanese infantry and a group of puppet troops arrived in front of the artillery tower.
"Kill four Japanese infantrymen and gain 40 points."
"Kill two Japanese sergeants and gain 40 points."
"Kill a Japanese second lieutenant officer and get 100 points."
"The host currently has 180 points."
Qin Yangming, who was driving, looked at the system prompts.
We also knew that it was the Japanese who triggered the trap.
The points balance that was originally empty instantly increased to 180 points.
"Captain, we seized all these things when we went out to attack the artillery tower this time."
"Twenty Zhongzheng rifles,
Three-eight covers twelve branches,
22 Jin-made Type 65 rifles (imitation Type 38 rifles);
Two Czech light machine guns,
Three Type 99 light machine guns,
One Czech light machine gun, Model 65, made in Jin;
One Type 92 heavy machine gun,
One grenade launcher;
Six bastard box pistols,
Two large-eye box rifles (imitations of Mauser C96, with a caliber of mm).
The most seized ammunition was caliber bullets,
But I found two types of bullets of different qualities, and I don’t know what’s going on.
There are 2,123 65-caliber bullets of inferior quality.
There are 2,328 pieces of better quality.
There are also 900 reduced-charge bullets for the Type 99 light machine guns.
More than 600 heavy machine gun bullets,
3,000 Type 79 pointed bullets,
In addition, there are 67 grenades,
128 grenades,
Sixty small grenades. "
"The 65mm bullets should have been produced by the Japanese themselves or by Yan Laoxi in the past.
So the quality is a little different.
It seems that most of the puppet troops here are former Shanxi-Suiyuan troops."
Listening to Sun Zhigang's report, Qin Yangming analyzed.
Now they are located in Jinzhong area.
This was Yan Laoxi’s main territory in the past.
After Yan Laoxi failed.
Many members of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army defected to the Japanese and became traitors.
Therefore, it is normal for the puppet army to possess many weapons and equipment of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
"The political commissar said he would assign an instructor to our company.
Is the instructor here?"
"Not yet. I haven't received any news." "In that case, you, Old Sun, will be in charge of recruiting soldiers first."
"Recruit a hundred new soldiers first, and I will take care of the weapons."
Seeing Qin Yangming casually propose to recruit 100 new soldiers, Sun Zhigang quickly spoke.
"Captain, this is not possible.
Now, let alone recruiting a hundred new soldiers,
Even if we recruit ten new soldiers, we can’t do it.”
Seeing Qin Yangming's face full of confusion.
Sun Zhigang quickly began to explain.
"Captain, the base area occupied by our New 1st Regiment consists of only five villages.
All the soldiers that could be recruited from these five villages have already been recruited by the regiment commander.
If we recruit new soldiers, it will seriously affect the normal life of the people.
So if you want to recruit new soldiers,
Either break the blockade and recruit from other towns,
Or we can capture prisoners and recruit them from the puppet army."
"Recruit from the puppet army?"
Listening to Sun Zhigang's proposal, Qin Yangming also began to think about it.
At the beginning, he had thought about recruiting new soldiers from the puppet army.
But he tried it when he was in Duanjiaao.
As a result, those puppet troops spoke nicely at the beginning.
But he ran away in the blink of an eye.
In the end, they ran away to become puppet soldiers and even brought the Japanese to fight them.
"Captain, the puppet troops in the Jinzhong area are different from those in the Jindong area.
The puppet troops there mainly came from Hebei.
Basically, they are die-hards.
Many of the puppet troops here were originally from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army.
Many of them did not intend to be traitors.
Most of them were coerced.”
"There is another way, that is to send someone back to Duanjiaao.
Recruit a group of new soldiers from there."
“This method is possible. We can send someone to contact Captain Luo.
But there aren't many new recruits that Duanjiaao can recruit.
The county brigade and district team over there also need manpower.
We still have to find a way to recruit new soldiers from other nearby towns and villages.
Do you have a map of the area?"
Sun Zhigang shook his head.
"Captain, where do we get a map of this place?
The leader should have it."
"Forget it, forget about the map the captain has. It's too rough."
"It looks like we still have to go to the county town to have a look."
Thinking of the map, Qin Yangming thought of the Japanese headquarters in Linyuan County near the base.
Because there are several Eighth Route Army bases next to Linyuan County.
Therefore, the Japanese in Linyuan County did not have only one squadron like in ordinary counties.
But there is a whole team.
The captain of a Japanese infantry battalion usually has the rank of major.
According to the intelligence of the Eighth Route Army.
The highest Japanese commander in Linyuan County was indeed a major named Nakamura Shaoxiong.
Thinking of this Japanese major, Qin Yangming seemed to see his level 4 heavy weapons exchange list waving at him.
In order to unlock the level 4 heavy weapons exchange list, you also need to get a precise military map.
Qin Yangming then had the idea of going to the Japanese headquarters.
"Old Sun, you lead the big guys in training first.
I have already submitted the proposal for you to serve as deputy company commander to the regiment commander.
There will probably be a response tonight.
I will take people out to check the situation nearby."
After saying this, Qin Yangming left without looking back.
Before Sun Zhigang could say anything, he saw Qin Yangming quickly leaving the company.
After Qin Yangming left, he called Wang Erniu and ran towards the county seat of Linyuan County.
The reason why he asked Wang Erniu to go with him was mainly because the system told him that anyone created by the system would remain absolutely loyal to him.
In addition, Wang Erniu's physical fitness and combat skills were at the level of the top scouts of his time.
With Wang Erniu's assistance, Qin Yangming is more confident of entering the Japanese headquarters in the county.
