Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2634 Huang Batian and Zhang Jun’s consciences are greatly damaged!

Duanwu thought that Wang Shusheng was a very interesting person and had a certain appeal among the miners, even higher than that of the old boss.

As for the reason, it is very simple. If the old boss's appeal is higher than Wang Shusheng's, then many people would leave.

But on the contrary, under Wang Shusheng's call, the number of people who joined the Anti-Japanese Allied Forces was more than five times the number of people who left.

This is enough to prove that Wang Shusheng's appeal is greater than that of the old boss.

But Wang Shusheng said that the boss’s appeal was greater than his, so what was he hiding?

Are you afraid that you will be the first to be shot?

Moreover, Duanwu not only saw the light of wisdom in Wang Shusheng's eyes, but also saw his enthusiasm for fighting.

Even when Duanwu was going to give him a squadron, he could hardly hide his excitement.

But he forcibly suppressed this impulse and finally chose to retreat.

Duanwu couldn’t quite understand Wang Shusheng.

If such a person has a heart for the country and the people, it is a blessing for the anti-Japanese brigade. But if this person has a hidden agenda, it is very dangerous.

Of course, at this time Duanwu has not yet figured out that Wang Shusheng has any bad intentions, so it remains to be seen.

Duanwu waved his hand and asked Wang Shusheng to go back, and then called Ma Shanpao over.

Ma Shanpao ran over happily and said, "Captain, what are your instructions?"

Duanwu said, "I will assign 500 people to your second team. You can decide on the positions yourself, but give the man named Wang Shusheng the position of a team leader and let him take charge of 50 people. This person can be trained and you should pay more attention to him. If there is anything, please communicate with me in time."

Ma Shanpao was stunned for a moment, but then he seemed to understand something and said quickly, "I understand, Captain."

However, after Ma Shanpao said this, he still had no intention of leaving.

Duanwu asked back: "Do you have anything else to do?"

Ma Shanpao chuckled and said, "Captain, you see, even if we have these 500 more people in our second team, we still can't get a thousand. Can you give us some more? Then our second team will be the real main force."

Duanwu laughed and said, "Don't we still have more than 400 puppet soldiers? I'll give you half, and I'll add the rest to the first team."

Ma Shanpao said with a smile: "Okay, thank you, Captain. I will go pick someone right away."

Duanwu advised: "Pay attention to unity, don't pick all the good ones."

"Don't worry, Captain. I, Ma Shanpao, am not that kind of person at all."

Ma Shanpao swore solemnly, but Duanwu believed him. Ma Shanpao was a cunning fellow. Long Qianyan was not here, so he would be the first one to take away the good ones.

But Duanwu didn't care about the Mashan Cannon. Instead, he took out the map and thought about another thing, which was how to rally the morale of the army again.

And this military morale is directed at the miners. He wants to use a victory to give all the new recruits a sense of belonging and pride.

However, at this moment, an anti-Japanese fighter came running to report: "Captain, we just received a call in Huang Batian's office from Fuyang Town. They asked what the gunshots were about."

Duanwu asked back: "Then what did you say?"

The soldier quickly replied: "We said we found a few suspicious people and we chased them away."

Duanwu asked, "What did the other side say?" The soldier replied, "They asked Huang Batian, and I said the captain led his men to pursue them."

Duanwu rolled his eyes and said, "Go call back and tell them that the mine was robbed and a lot of coal was lost."

The soldier scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Captain, who is robbing, and robbing coal?"

Duanwu said angrily: "I told you to say so, so just say so."

"Yes!"

The soldier could only respond, and then call the Japanese back according to Duanwu's order.

The Japanese soldiers in Fuyang Town didn't think anything of it at first after hearing the report, but suddenly a Japanese sergeant thought that something was wrong. There were so many imperial soldiers in the mine, how many people would the other side have to send out to steal a large amount of coal? It was obvious that the imperial soldiers in the mine were pocketing the money.

This is an obvious thing. The weather will get cold in two months, and coal is being stored everywhere. So the Imperial Army in the mines are secretly transferring the coal away and then lying to them that it was stolen.

"Baga, Huang Batian and Zhang Jun have lost their conscience."

The Japanese sergeant was angry, but he could not make a decision. So he immediately reported the matter to Captain Matsuda.

Matsuda was also very angry after hearing the sergeant's report. He usually liked Huang Batian and Zhang Jun, but he had to teach them a lesson for blatantly enriching themselves.

So he immediately ordered the dispatch of two infantry squads and marched towards the mine in a menacing manner.

At the same time, Duanwu called Ma Shanpao and asked him to take a hundred people to ambush in the woods more than a mile outside the mine.

The reason why Duanwu chose this place was to let the miners see the combat effectiveness of the Anti-Japanese Brigade and give them absolute confidence.

About half an hour later, a group of Japanese soldiers slowly appeared in the field of vision of Mashan Cannon. It was a convoy consisting of five troop-carrying trucks and a motorcycle with a sidecar.

The other party was driving very fast and was not at all vigilant. It was obvious that they had already determined that the puppet troops in the mining city were stealing from the company.

Seeing this, Ma Shanpao's mouth curled up slightly, because this was just as the captain said, the Japanese were completely unprepared, and a few bundles of explosives would probably be enough to kill them.

These explosives are naturally used by mines for mining.

If only people were used to dig, it would be too laborious. The Japanese demanded that all the minerals in China be moved back to Japan in the shortest possible time.

Therefore, it can be seen that the Japanese may have anticipated their own fate long ago. So they are preparing to transport China's resources back to the country at all costs.

But it provides convenience for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Duanwu's ammunition was hard to come by. Although he was sure that there were not many Japanese devils in Fuyang Town, he still buried at least 30 kilograms of explosives on the road.

Ma Shanpao even felt that these explosives were a waste of resources. There were only about a hundred Japanese soldiers in total. More than 30 kilograms of explosives meant that each Japanese soldier had half a kilogram of explosives.

But since it has been buried, it cannot be dug out, not to mention that the Japanese are already close.

Ma Shanpao personally took charge, holding the detonator, waiting for the Japanese to enter the minefield.

Ma Shanpao was very experienced in laying mines. Bundles of explosives formed a minefield. Once the Japanese entered the minefield, they would have no chance of escaping.

What's more, they still have more than a hundred submachine guns. These Japs may not be enough for one squad to fight, not to mention that he has eight squads with him!
