Bright Sword: I have a system for exchanging points for killing enemies

Chapter 390: Nuo, you know you were sold out by us, but you still have to thank us
"Okay, how many bullets do you need?"

Qin Yangming readily agreed to Ma Dashao's request that the Vanguard Regiment provide them with some additional rifle bullets.

Although the weapons and equipment of the Pioneer Regiment are mainly of 7.92mm caliber, there is also a battalion of soldiers equipped with Type 38 rifles.

The main firepower of the Vanguard Regiment does not rely on rifles, but machine guns. All tactics within the unit are centered on machine guns and precision shooters, and riflemen only play a supporting role.

Therefore, it was not a big problem for the Vanguard Group to allocate some 6.5mm caliber bullets.

What's more, according to the plan made with Murakuchi Saburo, when Murakuchi Saburo and Kiyozumi Kiichi lead the troops out of the city, in addition to leaving a batch of ammunition in the county arsenal, they will also gather the ammunition carried by the troops.

As long as they captured Ping'an County and the garrison battalion, they would be able to easily obtain a batch of ammunition replenishment.

Besides, if it doesn’t work, doesn’t he still have the system?

Seeing that Qin Yangming had no objection, Ma Dashao thought about it quickly, then gritted his teeth and spoke to Qin Yangming somewhat embarrassedly.

"I calculated... Each soldier needs about 20 rounds of ammunition, and riflemen need about 400. If the Vanguard Regiment can provide us with 8,000 rounds of ammunition, that would be great."

"Ma Dashao is asking for too much. Twenty rounds of bullets per person, eight thousand rounds in total? That's more than the ammunition reserves of the county brigade!"

As soon as Ma Dashao finished speaking, the battalion commanders of the vanguard regiment had not said anything yet, but the captains of several district teams behind Ma Dashao started discussing first.

Many people thought that Ma Dashao was asking for too much.

Some people even think that Ma Dashao is taking advantage of this critical moment to use Ping'an County to threaten the Pioneer Group and want to gain some benefits from the Pioneer Group.

Ma Dashao seemed to feel that he had gone too far, and asked for 20 rounds of bullets per person, which meant 8,000 rounds... Although the main force was well-equipped, the vanguard group had sneaked into the Ping'an County area, so they must have traveled light and did not carry so much ammunition.

Seeing that the faces of the battalion commanders behind Qin Yangming looked a little strange, Ma Dashao became more certain of his guess that the vanguard regiment might not have brought much ammunition this time.

I really asked for too much.

Thinking of this, Ma Dashao quickly added before Qin Yangming spoke.

"Ten rounds, even ten rounds will do... I need four thousand rounds. The bullets in our county brigade are basically reloaded from the arsenal, and the few bullets we have have to be used on those machine guns..."

Ma Dashao wanted to explain, but Qin Yangming raised his hand to interrupt him.

"Ten bullets? What can one person do with ten bullets? I'll give you one! A total of 40,000 bullets!"

Ten bullets? The new recruits of the Vanguard Regiment fire more than ten bullets during their training.

Qin Yangming waved his hand and approved 40,000 rounds of bullets for the county brigade.

"Hey, this regiment commander doesn't care about logistics. He doesn't know how expensive daily necessities are. He just waved his hand and 40,000 rounds of ammunition were fired. So logistics is not your responsibility, right?"

Zhangye saw Qin Yangming wave his hand and directly approved 40,000 bullets. If they had not seized a batch of weapons and equipment from Jijiabao after taking it, and they could not carry large artillery, everyone would not need to help the artillerymen carry shells, so everyone carried a large amount of bullets.

Forty thousand bullets were allocated. Although this was a large number of bullets, it was not a big problem for the Vanguard Regiment.

It's just that Zhangye had some complaints about Qin Yangming's generosity in sending out tens of thousands of bullets with just a wave of his hand.

Because of Qin Yangming's generosity, when the other brother troops were running out of ammunition, the first thing they thought of was to borrow some from the Vanguard Regiment, or from some other connections.

That is, the brother troops that borrowed ammunition would return the bullets, and sometimes a few guns would be attached, or some fun things seized by the brother troops.

Otherwise, Zhangye will have to learn from Li Yunlong how to be a stingy person.

"Forty thousand rounds of ammunition? My God, our county brigade may have fired less than 40,000 rounds of ammunition since its establishment!"

Hearing Qin Yangming's words, Ma Dashao's face was filled with shock.

He originally thought that it would be good enough if Qin Yangming could spare a few thousand rounds of bullets to their county brigade.

As a result, Qin Yangming directly gave 40,000 rounds.

"Don't worry about the ammunition supply. Zhangye and Ping'an County are in your charge."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

As for the Ping'an County, we only need to occupy the county town, then clear out the remaining enemy troops in the county town, and finally wait for Qin Yangming to arrive with the remaining troops or for Li Yunlong to arrive with the independent regiment.

There are basically no large-scale battles. Leave it to Zhangye. With Zhangye's capabilities, there won't be any major problems.

……

"Captain Qin, Duan Peng and his men have sent a message. The operation will begin in half an hour!"

Qin Yangming had just assigned the tasks when Wei Dayong, who was waiting for a telegram in the confidential room, entered the regiment headquarters with a telegram and handed it to Qin Yangming.

"Well, Wei Dayong, you and your commando team will follow me later."

Qin Yangming took the telegram, glanced at it briefly, and then spoke to Wei Dayong.

"Yes!"

"Everyone, take your positions and get ready to go!"

Qin Yangming gave the order to set off.

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

……

Ping'an County seat.

Under Qingquan Muyi's organization, all the Japanese garrison battalions in the entire Ping'an County were mobilized.

In addition to the garrison battalion, there were two other regiments of puppet troops.

"Yamada Sasaki, you will take two teams of warriors and the military police to guard the county seat of Ping'an County!"

Outside the county seat of Ping'an County, Qingquan Mu saw that all the troops were in place, and then he gave instructions to Yamada Sasaki behind him.

"Hi!"

"Taijun, there are only two squads of troops left in Ping'an County. Isn't that a bit insufficient? Otherwise, how about I draw out two more companies from my Imperial Army and let Taijun Yamada stay in Ping'an County together?"

Jia Dewang saw that Qingquanmu had only left behind two squads of Japanese soldiers and the gendarmerie in the county town, and had no intention of leaving behind any of their Imperial Army troops.

After taking a look at Heishan Kumamoto behind him, he saw that Heishan Kumamoto was helpless. He thought that if the troops left behind in Ping'an County were all Japanese troops, then Leng Shui and others might not be able to successfully attack Ping'an County. In order to ensure that they had enough firepower in Ping'an County to occupy the city gate, and then help the bandit troops gathered by the Military Control Commission to smoothly enter Ping'an County and occupy the county.

Jia Dewang had to take the risk and ask Qingquan Muyi to leave two companies of the Imperial Army to help defend the city.

Qingquan Muyi's Chinese is not very good. After listening to Jia Dewang's words, he turned his head and looked at Murakuchi Saburo with a puzzled look on his face.

"This guy said that he felt that if we left two teams in Ping'an County, we might not be able to defend the county.

He wants to leave two companies of troops in Ping'an County to defend the city together. He is probably afraid of death. After you agree, he will probably make some other demands. How do you answer?"

Murakuchi Saburo was not sure whether Jia Dewang knew Japanese, or he was worried that some of the other Imperial Army officers around him knew Japanese.

Therefore, there was no mention of Jia Dewang wanting to leave two companies of troops behind to cooperate with the Military Control Commission's troops to capture the county seat of Ping'an County.

Rather, it was said that Jia Dewang was afraid of death, so he wanted to leave behind two companies of the Imperial Army, and then use this as an excuse to keep himself in Ping'an County.

Jia Dewang did understand Japanese, and his level was not low. When he heard the words translated by Murakuchi Saburo, he was completely dumbfounded.

"What do you mean you're afraid of death? Damn it, what does this damn Japanese mean? Just translate it, why do you have to add your own meaning to it?"

You might say that there was something wrong with Murakuchi Saburo's translation, but Murakuchi Saburo really translated Jia Dewang's words well.

There is nothing wrong with Saburo Murakuchi's translation, but Saburo Murakuchi added a little of his own meaning when translating, which makes it sound completely different.

For example, if we understand Jia Dewang's words from a normal perspective, Jia Dewang was worried that the two squads of soldiers could not defend the county seat of Ping'an County, so he suggested that he leave two companies of the Imperial Army to help defend the city.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that Jia Dewang is thinking about Qingquan Muyi.

But after being translated by Cunkou Saburo, Jia Dewang's meaning became that he was afraid of death and wanted to stay in Ping'an County.

If Jia Dewang had not kept saying that he did not understand Japanese, Jia Dewang really wanted to tell Qingquan Muyi in person that Murakuchi Saburo was just translating nonsense.

"Baga, the Imperial Army is really a bunch of cowards! They are just a small unit of the Eighth Route Army, and they are so scared!
Tell him that not only do I disagree with him sending troops to guard Ping'an County, but he will have to lead his troops as the vanguard when we attack the Eighth Route Army!"

Qingquan Muyi perfectly portrayed a Japanese officer who hated the Imperial Army very much.

He even took advantage of this opportunity and used the excuse that Jia Dewang was afraid of death to ask Jia Dewang to lead his Imperial Army troops as the vanguard.

Jia Dewang listened to Qingquan Muyi's words and at this moment he wanted to slap himself twice.

He never expected that his words would not only make Qingquan Muyi regard him as a cowardly officer of the Imperial Army, but also that he would have to lead the troops to act as the vanguard.

The bandit forces now attacking the stronghold are those gathered by the Military Control Commission.

And he is an officer of the Imperial Army who has defected to the Military Control Commission. If he is asked to serve as the vanguard, wouldn't that mean that his own people in the Military Control Commission are fighting against their own people?
If he doesn't fight well, the Japanese soldiers supervising the battle behind him will definitely not let him have an easy time.

If he fights well, then after he joins the Military Control Commission, how will those bandit forces view him?

This immediately put Jia Dewang into a dilemma.

Murakuchi Saburo, who was about to translate, saw Jia Dewang's expression change and immediately realized that Jia Dewang could understand Japanese.

"This guy said he couldn't understand Japanese. I guess only the idiot Kumamoto believed him. Fortunately, I was prepared!"

Murakuchi Saburo slightly modified Qingquan Muyi's words and translated them to Jia Dewang.

"Captain Jia Dewang, Commander Qingquan Muyi said that you don't need to detach troops to stay in Ping'an County. Since Captain Jia Dewang cares so much about our Great Japanese Locust Army, after we launch an attack on the Eighth Route Army, the main attack mission will be handed over to Captain Jia!
I hope Captain Jia will not disappoint Commander Qingquan Muyi’s expectations of him!
As long as Captain Jia performs well, there will be huge rewards!"

"Pfft~"

Another commander of the Imperial Army next to Jia Dewang almost laughed out loud after listening to the translation by Murakuchi Saburo.

The two commanders of the Imperial Army, one was an outsider and the other was a local, and both sides disliked each other.

Seeing Jia Dewang being humiliated at this moment, he was naturally happy.

If the situation wasn't wrong and inappropriate, he would even want to laugh out loud.

And Jia Dewang was already cursing in his heart.

Even though Jia Dewang was very dissatisfied with what Cunkou Saburo said, he could only pretend to like it very much and said to Cunkou Saburo with a forced smile.

"Hey, Majesty, I will do my best and give everything for the Great Japanese Locust Army!"

"Oh, Captain Jia, we are the Great Japanese Locust Army. We believe in Captain Jia's loyalty to our Great Japanese Locust Army and our bravery!"

Murakuchi Saburo tried his best not to laugh, patted Jia Dewang's shoulder hard, and encouraged him.

"He's an idiot too. He knew he was being ripped off, but he still smiled and said thank you to us."

Murakuchi Saburo found Jia Dewang's performance very interesting.

"set off!"

After Murakuchi Saburo finished speaking, he nodded towards Qingquanmu.

Then Qingquan Muyi gave the order for the troops to set off.

Under Qingquan Muyi's order, no matter how reluctant Jia Dewang was, he had to lead his troops as the vanguard, walk down the city wall, and order his troops to set off.

Following them came the garrison brigade led by Qingquan Muyi and others.

The last to follow was another regiment of the Imperial Army.

After all the troops had set out, Yamada Sasaki immediately took over the city gate with Duan Peng and began to blockade the county seat of Ping'an County, preventing anyone from leaving the city.

……

"Captain Liu, what do you think of Captain Jia?"

In the middle of the troops, Murakuchi Saburo, who was riding a Japanese horse, asked the commander of another Imperial Army who was following next to him.

Saburo Murakuchi wanted to reduce the casualties of the garrison as much as possible.

So he planned to use the two regiments of the Imperial Army and let the two regiments of the Imperial Army fight each other.

Through the information collected by Kuroyama Kumamoto and some information collected by Murakuchi Saburo himself, Murakuchi Saburo knew that Captain Liu and Jia Dewang were extremely incompatible.
