Rise from the sword

Chapter 59 Unexpected Speed
"Huang Baowang, is your mother a rat?"

"You also pick up this garbage?"

After the battle, Zhang Dabiao, who was patrolling the battlefield, saw Huang Baowang picking up bullet casings on the snow, and greeted him with a scolding.

"Company commander, this is a good bullet casing. It's pure copper. Pick it up and give it to the arsenal to reload the bullet!" Huang Baowang muttered and replied while picking up the bullet casing.

"Look at your progress"

Zhang Dabiao rolled his eyes: "Come on, the bullet casings in the regiment can keep the arsenal busy. No matter how much you pick up, it's useless, don't waste your time here."

Even if it is reloading bullets, the arsenal at the headquarters will only produce [-] rounds a day...

Primers, propellants and warheads all need to be produced by themselves, and the technical difficulty of these things is not low.

Moreover, [-] rounds are reassembled every day, which is still the design output!
Now, there are a thousand people who burn high incense every day!

After this battle was over, the regiment could produce at least 50 shell casings, enough to keep the arsenal busy for half a year.

"But····"

Looking at the bullet casings all over the ground, and then looking at the guns and ammunition of the devils in the valley, Huang Baowang felt a little distressed.

"There will be no shortage of bullets in our regiment in the future. In the future, the machine guns will be able to chug hard every time they fight." Raising his eyebrows, Zhang Dabiao kicked Huang Baowang's buttocks, and urged in a cursing tone.

This mission has been completed perfectly, and [-] tons of weapons and ammunition are also available...
One hundred tons!
In addition to the future business, do you still need to pick up bullet casings?
Didn't you see that labor and management were too lazy to pick up the devil's weapons and ammunition?

The company commander got angry and cursed, and it was a waste of time to collect bullet casings. Huang Baowang could only helplessly get up and leave. Before leaving, he picked up a bullet smoothly and stuffed it into his pocket.

Zhang Dabiao's eyes jumped when he saw it:

"hurry up··"

Starting from the valley, the mountain road began to become flat and open. There were more fields around, and some roads were even paved with stones. The speed of the commandos was significantly accelerated, and Huang Baowang finally did not have to enjoy the shame of being led by a mule.

After confirming that no one was left behind, Zhang Dabiao looked at the pocket watch in his hand and nodded with satisfaction: "This battle was fought comfortably, the devils are weak, and I have strong firepower and sufficient ammunition. It took me 30 minutes to wipe out more than 10 devils. Lose"

The last one was Huang Baowang and his class. When Zhang Dabiao caught up, he took a closer look at Huang Baowang's class, especially the four mules, whose eyes almost fell.

He found that the following mules had a bag full of ammunition casings on each of them.

The Assault Company fought a total of two battles, the first was in Shuangfeng Town, and the second was in the valley just now...

The valley was stopped by himself, that is to say, these shells belonged to Shuangfeng Town...

Shuangfeng Town has so little free time, how did this guy pick up all the bullet casings?
"You are really a rat"

The corners of his mouth twitched, but Zhang Dabiao did not force Huang Baowang to take it down.

Thousands of shells are not heavy, just carry them.

In the future, when you do more business and become richer, it is estimated that no one will pick up the bullet casing when it is thrown on the ground...

······
An hour had passed since the assault company's ambush devil squad, and Ida Jinji, the leader of the devil squadron in Pingshan City, learned that his squad of more than 30 people had been wiped out.

The devil who reported the news was the one who was slapped and kicked and fainted in the snow pit.

As the saying goes, when misfortunes come, blessings depend on fortunes and misfortunes lie in them.

He was slightly injured by his own slap and kick, but he also escaped death.

The explosion of the grenade made the unlucky devil wake up in a daze. When he climbed out of the snow pit, the assault company had already gone far. Seeing that the entire team was wiped out, and there was not a single complete body, the devil collapsed on the spot. Staggering all the way back to Pingshan City.

Hirayama Castle, inside the Devil's headquarters.

"idiot·····"

Ida Jinji is a rare tall and strong Japanese soldier. He is 1.8 meters tall and weighs close to [-] kilograms. His face is covered with flesh. A slap.

Snapped···

Strong people, great strength.

In a state of rage, his hand strength is even more extraordinary.

This slap directly swirled the reported Guizi's fan, and after a few laps in the air, he fell heavily to the ground, fainted, and blood gushed out from the corners of his mouth.

At this moment, Captain Ozawa Yuyuan, the captain of the Guizi Cavalry Squadron who came from Shuangfeng Town, just arrived.

Seeing the fallen Guizi soldier being slapped, Ozawa subconsciously touched his face, recalling the years when he was beaten before.

He couldn't help complaining in his heart, why imperial officers always like to slap their lower-level officers when they are angry, the generals fan Lieutenant General, Lieutenant General Fan, Major General Fan Assistant Officer, fan down all the way, never get tired of it...

It is said that within a year, no less than half of the team will be killed because of a slap from a superior!

Where did this broken habit come from?
"Ida-kun, what happened?" Avoiding the unlucky devil who fell to the ground, Ozawa asked suspiciously.

"One hour ago, one of my search teams was completely wiped out by the guerrillas, and all the more than 30 warriors were destroyed by the guerrillas." Ida Jinji patted his tingling hands, his tone full of anger and fear. .

Fortunately, I didn't lead the team out to search in person...
"An hour ago?"

"Where were you ambushed?"

Ozawa Yuyuan was keenly aware of the time issue.

It has only been three hours since Shuangfeng Town was attacked, and the search team was encountered an hour ago. This group of attackers moved too fast...

"It's about four kilometers from here, on the mountain road to Shuangfeng Town"

Ida Jinji replied, and marked the specific location on the map: "Here, and the opponent wiped out my team of more than 30 people in a very short period of time, and the combat effectiveness is not weak."

"It's more than four kilometers, how can you move so fast?" Looking at the location on the map and measuring the distance to Shuangfeng Town, Ozawa Yuanyuan frowned suddenly.

An hour ago, a small search force was attacked four kilometers from Hirayama Castle.

That is to say, after the other party attacked Shuangfeng Town, it only took two hours to march more than ten kilometers in the mountains...
And it's still on the snowy mountain road!
Is this possible?

In other words, this group of people did not carry the seized drugs and traveled lightly?

But even if it is a light-packed march in the mountains, it is difficult to do it!
A bunch of doubts flashed in his mind.

"You immediately call Chief Sanhao, let's see for ourselves and bring more people. Since the other party has annihilated one and a half squadrons in such a short period of time, the actual combat effectiveness should be equivalent to half an infantry squadron."

Ozawa said.

"it is good"

Ida Jin Er nodded with a solemn tone.

He knew very well what was under his command!
In actual calculation, the combat power of a squadron of his is equivalent to a squad of a second-tier division...

The guerrillas can wipe out his squad of more than 30 people in a short time. With the strength of his subordinates, then his entire squadron is probably just sending food!

If there is no cavalry squadron to come, he will definitely curl up in Pingshan City and not go out!

Who knows if this weird group of guerrillas is planning to ambush him...
The two of them were busy, and the devils in the headquarters also gathered.

In order to ensure the safety of his own life, Ida Jinji summoned all the devils in Hirayama City and more than [-] puppet troops to dispatch together, and Ozawa Yuanyuan also assembled his cavalry squadron.

This group of unknown guerrillas displayed a very strong fighting force, they dared not be careless...
The mighty team of nearly 300 people walked to the ambush site, leaving only the unlucky devil who was slapped and didn't know if he was dead lying on the floor of the headquarters.

······
"Nani?"

"This group of guerrillas appeared four kilometers away from Pingshan City and attacked a squad of the Imperial Army of Pingshan City?"

"And also wiped out the Imperial Army squad?"

When Colonel Sanhao heard the news of the staff report, he almost dropped his jaw.

He stared at the staff officer, as if to say, aren't you fucking lying to me?
"Thirty-three Imperial Warriors of the Hirayama Castle Squadron were wiped out by the guerrillas"

The staff's careful wording reminded Colonel Sanhao that it was not an entire squad that was wiped out, but a dissatisfied squad.

Devil squad is generally about 50 people.

"Confirmed it was the guerrilla group? Not some other force?" Colonel Sanhao confirmed again.

Also Imperial Warriors!
A bunch of trash.

He naturally knew what kind of waste the troops stationed in Pingshan City were.

That's a reserve soldier of the third-line division.

To put it bluntly, it is a concentration camp for waste and defective products, which is inferior to the soldiers recruited by the garrison brigade.

The physically handicapped, frail, sickly, and dumb-minded were recruited into such teams to go to the countryside to bully peasants, bully unarmed guerrillas, and loot supplies.

However, 33 people, even 33 pigs, shouldn't be wiped out by more than 100 guerrillas in such a short period of time!Anyway, after half a year of recruit training.

The strength of this group of guerrillas is probably not weak.

"Basically confirmed," the staff officer nodded.

"map"

Even though it was difficult to accept the reality, Colonel Sanhao still called his staff to bring a map and determined the position of the guerrillas on the map: "The speed of the other party seems to be beyond our expectations, and they marched ten kilometers of mountain road in two hours."

"Also, we must re-evaluate the combat effectiveness of this group."

'The previous attack on Shuangfeng Town could have caught the Imperial Army by surprise, but this time a team was annihilated in a short period of time, so the actual combat effectiveness of this group should not be weaker than half of the Empire's squadron'

"It seems that this is not an ordinary guerrilla force. It should be the so-called regular army of the Eighth Route Army. It has undergone special military training and has certain actual combat experience, and it is equipped with good weapons."

"The guerrillas definitely do not have such a strong fighting force"

Senior Colonel Sanho, who has been dealing with the guerrillas for many years, nodded his head, his tone suddenly realized, but then he frowned.

The enemy's strength is not weak, then the search force they send must act on the scale of the reorganization team, otherwise, even if they find it, there is no way to contain them, and they will even be eaten by the opponent.

This would obviously cause big trouble for his pursuit.

Although there are many people he can command, they are all puppet troops and third-line garrison troops, and their combat effectiveness is not strong.

"Immediately send a report to He County and Jing County, ordering them to search with the full squad"

Chief Zuo Sanhao said: "In addition, inform the cavalry squadron and the garrison brigade, and send cavalry reconnaissance immediately after dawn, and send this information to the infantry brigade in Xiyang."

"The chief of staff has ordered the infantry brigade over there to set up cards to intercept this group of guerrillas. If they want to go to Yangquan, this group of people will definitely pass through Xiyang."

"There is still a distance of nearly a hundred miles from Pingyang City to Xiyang. We must surround and annihilate this group of people in between."

Xiyang is only [-] kilometers away from Yangquan, and it is the last city of the Second Army to the west.

"Hi" the staff immediately ran to send the report.

"However, this group of guerrillas is relatively strong, and it is also a good thing that they belong to the regular army of the Eighth Route Army. Can the punishment be so serious?" After the staff officer left, Colonel Sanhao murmured, with a tone of happiness.

A group of more than 100 regular troops of the Eighth Route Army lurked to attack the military station near Shijiazhuang, and he was not alone in carrying the blame.
