Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 271 Chapter 270, Happy March

Marching is hard, difficult and tiring...especially marching in winter and summer is hard, difficult and tiring...and it's hot!
Because they were going to the headquarters arsenal, the deputy captain Xing Weiguo had to lead the team in person. Therefore, the person in charge of this marching team was Comrade Xing Weiguo.

Xing Weiguo led the nine soldiers of the vanguard squad as the vanguard of the main team. They scouted the road conditions, searched for the enemy, and provided protection for the team as it advanced.

Li Yuexuan led the 31 soldiers of the mortar platoon and was the main force of the marching team. They had Li Yuexuan, the platoon leader, who was a superb marksman. Cai Xiaotian, who was always by Li Yuexuan's side, was also a very good marksman! There was also the little girl Xu Hongying, who followed behind Li Yuexuan like a little tail, and was also a very good marksman!
Then, there were the Jiang brothers, who were armed with two Type 16 rifles, a grenade launcher, and grenades. There were also two mortar squads, who were armed with two mortars and ammunition boxes. They looked unthreatening, but once they opened fire, it was earth-shattering!

Of course, their confidence came from the nine soldiers in the transport squad who followed behind them. They helped the mortar squad carry 9 100 mortar shells, helped the grenade launcher carry 82 grenades, and helped the entire team carry 80 spare ammunition. They worked hard and made great contributions.

Of course, there were also the nine Japanese war horses, who were also serving as pack horses, carrying ammunition and supplies that were not their responsibility, and following the team.

"Squad leader, where are we going?" At the back of the team, the donkey leader pushed a cart and asked squad leader Wang Zixian.

"Where are we going? To a good place!" As one of the only two veterans in the team who had gone through the Long March, Wang Zixian was not afraid of such a march and just replied calmly.

"Alas, the further south we go, the farther we are from home, and I don't know whether the donkey at home will be obedient?" Donkey Zhang said with emotion.

"Once we drive away the Japanese devils, we can all go home! Okay, we stopped in front and let's take a break!" Wang Zixian said, pointing to the front.

It was a hot summer day. After walking for half a day, the team rested in a forest to avoid the midday sun. When the sun went down, they continued to march south and met the transport team of the New 1st Regiment on the march. Yes, this time the New 1st Regiment also sent a team to the arsenal, but it was to deliver steel rails to the Japanese.

The rails were naturally the ones that were removed from the railway line some time ago! The devil... um, Bao Mushui sued this guy, and the headquarters sent him to the arsenal as a technician, and he caught up with him.

"Captain Niu, you left two hours ago, right? You've been caught up by us? Your speed is not good enough, are you still waiting for us?" Xing Weiguo joked with Captain Niu, who had just come to get to know him.

"I'm waiting for you right here!" Niu Youtian looked at the guerrillas' elite team, wiped his sweat and said, "This time the headquarters really intends to build an arsenal! They have loaned Peregrine Falcon over, so we can't leave the rails behind! Look, ten people carry one rail, and they're not slow at all!"

"Who did Captain Li send to accompany and protect us?" Xing Weiguo asked.

"Wei Daming, he is leading the special forces company in the front! The soldiers of my supplementary battalion still have to carry things!" said Niu Youtian.

"Haha, Lao Niu, you have worked hard!" Xing Weiguo laughed and patted Lao Niu on the shoulder, then said: "It's just right that we have joined forces. We have your special forces company and our platoon with two squads. With this combat power, we dare to fight against the Japanese squadron! Now, I hope the Japanese can find us!"

"I heard that the Japanese are heading north along the Qingzhang River. Maybe we can really fight them face to face! It just depends on which group of Japanese gets unlucky!" Niu Youtian said.

"I heard that Licheng was taken by the Japanese? And Handang Avenue was also occupied by the Japanese?" Xing Weiguo asked in a low voice.

"Yes, all the counties we controlled before have been occupied by the devils! The local people have suffered!" Niu Youtian said. "Hey, we have already passed through! If we have a chance in the future, we must take care of them!" Xing Weiguo said.

"It's easy to say. Licheng is still 300 miles away from here. Are you going to fly there? Hurry up, let's work harder and go together to deliver steel and weapons..." Lao Niu shook off Xing Weiguo and walked to the side of the long team to cheer for the comrades who were carrying the steel rails on the road.

At this time, Li Yuexuan and his comrades were watching their comrades carrying the rails together and marching, and they all looked a little embarrassed. After all, the comrades from the brother units were working hard, but they were leisurely as if they were traveling. Yan Laoxi even put away his slingshot, fearing that his comrades would laugh at him.

"Comrade Peregrine, Comrade Peregrine..." Just as he put away the slingshot, he heard Niu Youtian's call. Li Yuexuan hurriedly ran over with Cai Xiaotian and the others.

"Comrade Peregrine, where is your bow and arrow? Where is your slingshot? Our guys are working in two shifts to protect the railroad tracks, you should find a way to get some meat! Everyone says you are a sharpshooter, but I, Old Niu, know that you are extremely accurate with your slingshot! What do you think? Show us some of your skills so we can benefit from it?" Niu Youtian said to Li Yuexuan with a smile.

"Well... okay, we'll just eat anything we come across in the wilderness along the way and provide a snack for our comrades tonight!" Li Yuexuan said with a smile.

"Okay, let's all work harder and work together!" Beneath Niu Youtian's steady and honest appearance, there was a smile that showed "an evil plan had succeeded".

Perhaps it was because there were too many wild animals these days, or perhaps the old cow's desire to eat meat was too strong, and God was aware of it. During the afternoon march, many small animals actually appeared along the way.

Whoosh... whoosh whoosh whoosh...Li Yuexuan had a slingshot in his hand, and the soldiers beside him, such as Cai Xiaotian, also had a slingshot each, and they attacked the small animals that appeared nearby.

Cuckoo... The turtledove that came out of the bush had its head shot off; Cluck, Cluck, Cluck... The pheasant had just taken off when it was hit by several pellets; Flutter... The quail had just taken off when it was hit by pellets; Quack, Quack, Quack... The wild duck had just taken off from the wild pond when it was greeted by several ceramic pellets.

Then... Li Yuexuan actually found a fishing net from the cart pushed by the transport team, threw it into the pond, and a bunch of lively fish came up in the net.

My goodness, those who know that they are on the march, on the way to the headquarters arsenal as ordered. Those who don't know would think that they are here for a picnic or hunting!
However, precisely because they continued to harvest prey here, the comrades in the replenishment battalion felt that they had enough energy to continue on their journey!

As expected, at the campsite at night, the aroma of fish soup mixed with the aroma of pheasant and duck stews, which made people salivate and whet their appetites...

With a dinner like this, a day's march doesn't seem so tiring at all!

The marching brigade was happy with meat to eat! During the march, Li Yuexuan and his men also tried to get in touch with the war horses and tried to ride them, in preparation for the future cavalry plan.

This joyful march lasted for several days from Ping'an County to the south, passing Xiyang, Heshun, and Liao County.

When everyone reached the fifth day, Li Yuexuan and his team no longer held slingshots, but switched to semi-automatic rifles and Type 38 rifles! That's right, when they got here, they were very close to the Japanese mopping-up team, and a fight could break out at any time!
