Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 230: Two More Japanese Squadrons

Majiaji,

The captain of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, who had just plundered the people, was arrogantly leading about two hundred people back to the mountain camp to drink.

"Brothers, let's go back to the camp tonight and have some fun," Captain Yang Qinghe shouted while riding on his horse.

This instantly excited the soldiers. This kind of life of robbing civilians was more comfortable than being in the army.

Ever since they were dispersed by the Japanese, they have been fleeing everywhere and have only been in Laiyuan for a week.

Yang Qinghe originally thought that the Japanese soldiers here would not leave the city, which gave them a chance to live a comfortable life, so he came here.

"Captain, we brothers have a very comfortable life following you. It would be great if we could snatch some girls from us."

Yang Qinghe was very proud of the flattery and said with a smile on his face.

"You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you still want to sleep with a woman. I haven't thought about that yet."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was immediate laughter.

Little did they know that beneath this laughter, the shadow of death was gradually looming...

Back to ten minutes ago.

Gu Changfeng, who was on his way, suddenly received news from the reconnaissance soldiers ahead, saying that a group of defeated soldiers of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army had robbed the people of their food and money.

Gu Changfeng couldn't tolerate this and immediately ordered his troops to intercept.

It was also Yang Qinghe's fault for being too flamboyant and not being able to control his mouth, saying whatever he wanted.

Otherwise, the reconnaissance soldiers would not have been able to hear it so clearly, giving Gu Changfeng a reason to take direct action.

boom!

A sudden gunshot rang out.

Yang Qinghe's life ended with the smug look on his face. Even with a smile on his face, he still had a smile on his face.

Gu Changfeng didn't shoot at the head, but a big hole appeared on his chest after one shot.

Yang Qinghe stood still on his horse for a moment, then fell to the ground, deader than dead.

When the defeated soldiers saw their battalion commander being killed, they were so scared that they ran away immediately.

Da da da!

A soldier holding a Type 99 rifle fired several bursts into the sky, then shouted loudly.

"Keep the hell down, anyone running around will be killed!"

When the defeated soldiers heard this, they were stunned and raised their hands in surrender.

"Boss, sir, please don't shoot. I have parents and children..."

"Shut up!" Gu Changfeng shouted. It was the same old-fashioned line again, with no originality.

"Someone, come out and tell me which unit of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army you are from and why you are here."

A Shanxi-Suiyuan Army company commander stood up tremblingly and said:

"Sir, we are from the 85th Regiment, 258th Division, under Commander Yan. We were dispersed by the Japanese in Lingqiu before, so we came here."

Gu Changfeng nodded slightly. He came to Jindi for development, so he would not execute these people now.

These are all veterans who have fought against the Japanese. If they can be adapted, they will be much easier to use than new recruits.

Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment, then said to the platoon leaders of the third company, "Let them carry the food up, and you send someone to watch over them and don't let them get away."

He still has a mission to do, so it’s not appropriate to send him back to the camp now. It’s better to take him with him first.

When the company commander of the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army saw that Gu Changfeng had no intention of killing them, he immediately felt relieved and cooperated to start moving food.

After thinking for a while, he said to Gu Changfeng: "Sir, we still have a batch of supplies in our camp, and dozens of brothers are guarding it."

He thought that since he was caught, offering some token of his allegiance would help him better protect himself.

"I understand," Gu Changfeng replied calmly.

Nothing could arouse his interest, but a few dozen people were also a source of soldiers, so he would talk about it when he was ready to go back.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Changfeng arrived safely near Jitouling, where Yang Zhenhua was already waiting.

"Captain Gu, we've been keeping an eye on this, and the Japs haven't returned to the city yet."

Gu Changfeng took out the map again and spread it on the ground, pointing to a point on the map and said:

"Huanglong Town is also a large town near Laiyuan. The Japanese should be targeting the security group there."

Yang Zhenhua took out a large map and compared it, then said:

"It should be here. Several brothers have already followed the axle tracks. Let's see later if the Japs will return to Laiyuan."

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "No matter whether he comes back or not, the worst that can happen is that he can stay in the mountains for another night. Anyway, we have just wiped out two squadrons of Japanese soldiers, so there is no need to worry about food."

Yang Zhenhua nodded, looked at the guarded Jinsui Army soldiers and asked: "What's the situation with these Jinsui Army soldiers?"

He saw bags of grain piled on the ground and didn't understand what was going on.

Gu Changfeng said happily: "Don't worry about them for now, these are all defeated soldiers, just let the brothers take care of them, and then take them back to the camp for reform when we return."

Yang Zhenhua understood. Gu Changfeng had told him about it before coming to Jin, and he was very clear about the plan.

He was very happy about this, as it felt like the team was growing bigger and bigger.

At 6 o'clock, it was already dark.

Gu Changfeng was just about to ask the soldiers to set up tents when the soldiers sent by Yang Zhenhua earlier brought news.

There's no need to worry about the tents, just go straight for the Japs.

The order was conveyed and the soldiers entered the preset battlefield one after another.

Four or five miles away, the Japanese lieutenant colonel leading the team was somewhat proud. Not only did he successfully complete the mission, but he also gained a lot of benefits.

The most important thing is that, under the arrangement of the security chief, he happily enjoyed the service of the flower girl.

This made him feel a little elated, and he also looked forward to tomorrow's recruitment mission...

Boom boom boom!

The artillery company still started the attack. The motorcycles in the front row were overturned, and the Japanese soldiers on the motorcycles were instantly pierced by shrapnel like a hornet's nest.

The Japanese soldiers who were lucky enough to survive lay on the ground in panic, trying to see where the shell came from.

"Damn, where does the shelling come from!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel sitting in the car was very lucky that he still had the mind to care about this issue.

"Sir Captain, ahead, three miles ahead." The Japanese motor vehicle soldiers were the first to discover the location where the shells were flying.

"Baga, organize the soldiers to fight back, quickly!" The Japanese lieutenant colonel was furious and yelled at the combat staff in the back row.

"Hey, Mr. Captain, I'll go right away." The operations staff officer broke out in a cold sweat.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go. He could tell from the sound that there were at least a dozen cannons, and the chance of dying if he went out was too high.

But since the squadron leader had spoken, he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only timidly open the car door and get out.

Bang bang bang!

The snipers began to take advantage, calling out names one by one, and the Japanese were killed almost immediately after they got off the car.

Coupled with the blockade of heavy machine gun fire, few of the Japanese soldiers who got off the car could last more than two minutes.

This was the result of Lu Daya's restrained attack. Otherwise, after a few rounds of artillery shells, each company would have hardly had to expend any effort.

The battle ended after half an hour. The Japanese lieutenant colonel still wanted to get out of the car and fight desperately, but was killed by Shuanzi with a long-range shot.

The world is quiet...

In fact, if it wasn't dark, a battle of this magnitude would only take more than ten minutes.

The artillery company now has plenty of ammunition, and since they are still engaged in an ambush, the Japanese are caught off guard and can't even mount an effective counterattack.

"Commander Gu, two vehicles were destroyed, the Japanese tricycle is useless, but the other vehicles are intact."

"We captured two Japanese mortars and a grenade launcher..."

A soldier reported:

It’s almost the same as before, except there’s an extra five thousand dollars, Gu Changfeng thought to himself.
