Bright Sword: Let my company hold off the Yamazaki Battalion

Chapter 44 The bewildered Japanese soldier: "What?! Another 8th Route Army unit is here asking

(Please vote for me! Please read on!)

Chu Feng was unaware of what Minister Zhang and the other leaders were saying.

"call!!"

After seeing off Minister Zhang and his leaders, Chu Feng let out a soft breath, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Regarding what just happened, although 30 seamless 100mm gun barrels were eventually handed over, it is still uncertain what they will receive in return.

But Chu Feng knew that the headquarters leader would never let him suffer a loss, and it was highly likely that the headquarters leader would throw the problem back to him and let him choose.

Asking for an exorbitant sum will have different consequences depending on whether you ask the brigade commander, the division commander, or the headquarters commander.

Undoubtedly, the resources and gains that can be obtained by asking the headquarters leaders for an exorbitant sum are the top priority.

Who could blame them when the headquarters leaders held the Eighth Route Army's best resources?

"We hope the headquarters leaders can hurry!"

With a wistful murmur of anticipation, Chu Feng put the matter out of his mind.

Chu Yunfei has arrived, so Li Yunlong must have already started to take action, wanting to get a share of the spoils. In other words, we must intercept the North China Battlefield Observation Group's battle from Li Yunlong. We must act immediately and not delay any longer.

That's the first priority. As for using the technology and personnel of the arsenal to manufacture 100mm mortars or expanding the guard regiment to establish the second and third guard battalions, those will have to wait.

Without hesitation, Chu Feng immediately sent the Second Company to have its commander, Zhang Mierui, bring a platoon of soldiers to the regimental headquarters.

Twenty minutes later, the group of men, riding horses and carrying light and heavy machine guns and grenade launchers, hurriedly left the regimental headquarters and headed straight for Baijia Village in the direction of the Huting stronghold.

On the way!

Somewhat bewildered, the second company commander, Zhang Mieri, asked curiously, "Regimental commander, what are we doing?"

Hearing Zhang Mieri's question, Chu Feng smiled and said, "Go to Baijia Village, and get wheat flour!"

"ah?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mierui became even more bewildered: "Baijia Village? White flour?"

"hehe!"

Chu Feng began to explain: "I've been watching this place for a long time, and I discovered that this damn Baijia Village maintenance committee leader has connections with the Japanese devils at the Huting stronghold. He's a traitor."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mieri, the second company commander, suddenly realized what was going on and became excited, repeatedly asking, "Regimental commander, are we going to fight the Japanese?"

Chu Feng smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's about fighting the Japanese devils."

"I've got my eye on the Japanese at the Huting stronghold. Last time we took advantage of the situation and wiped out half of their men."

"Another batch was added during this period, including more than 300 Japanese soldiers."

"Now that we're free, I don't want it to continue existing. Let's see if we can use Baijia Village to lure the enemy out of their stronghold, then we can surround them and attack their reinforcements, making it easy to take them out."

After hearing the regimental commander's explanation, Second Company Commander Zhang Mieri thought for a moment and said, "Regimental Commander, if that's the case, then the Huting stronghold is indeed a good target."

He paused, then said with some doubt, "But we have just captured two 37mm rapid-fire guns and one 75mm mountain gun."

"Logically speaking, with our current firepower, we don't seem to need to force the Japanese through Baijia Village; we can just go and fight them directly."

"After all, the Huting stronghold, including the puppet troops, only has four or five hundred people, which isn't many." After taking Xiaoxishan Railway Station, Zhang Mieri, the second company commander, began to get arrogant.

When Zhang Mierui noticed his unusual behavior, Chu Feng didn't hide anything and said with a smile, "Indeed, if it were just a Tiger Pavilion outpost, we wouldn't need to go to such lengths."

"But I'm not just keeping an eye on the Huting stronghold. These less than 500 Japanese and puppet troops aren't worth my time, and I don't even need to personally take action as the regimental commander."

"Just send your two infantry companies, along with the artillery company, and that will be enough to deal with these bastards."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mierui immediately became smug and nodded repeatedly, "Ah, yes, yes, yes!"

"Commander, that's right! These hundred or so Japanese and puppet troops, why would you need to take action personally? I can wipe them all out with the Second Company."

Seeing Zhang Mieri's smug expression, Chu Feng simply smiled and did not refute him. Instead, he continued, "The reason I'm so concerned is mainly because I'm keeping an eye on the Japanese and puppet troops in the county town."

"Our purpose in coming to Baijia Village this time is to lure out the Japanese soldiers from the Huting stronghold."

"But the Japanese soldiers at the Huting stronghold aren't stupid either; they know they're no match for us."

"Then what should we do? They'll have to ask the county seat for help, right?"

"As soon as the Japanese devils in the county town make a move, hey, our chance will come."

Zhang Mierui couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaimed, "That's right, Commander! You've outsmarted that little devil!"

"If they don't ask for help, they will die; if they do ask for help, they will still die, and they will also bring along the Japanese and puppet troops from the county town."

"This is not a conspiracy, this is an open scheme, an unsolvable open scheme."

Chu Feng accepted Zhang Mie Ri's flattery with a smile, then stopped talking about it and began to speed up his journey.

Three hours later, they arrived at Baijia Village. Chu Feng waved to Zhang Mierui and said, "Zhang Mierui, take your men and go there."

"That damned traitor is very cunning. We don't need anything else, just ask him for some heroin."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mierui patted his chest excitedly and chuckled, saying, "Commander, just you wait and see!"

After saying that, he addressed the row of men: "Row one, follow me!"

A dozen minutes later, Zhang Mierui returned with a smug look on his face.

"Commander, all done!"

"The traitorous dog, the head of the Baijia Village Maintenance Association, said that there is no heroin in their village, but assure us, he will find heroin for us."

At this point, Zhang Mierui remembered something: "By the way, Commander, that traitor said that a few days ago someone came to him asking for heroin, and asked why he came a second time."

"At the time, I didn't understand, which meant that it had nothing to do with us. We are us, and they are them."

Chu Feng immediately understood that the Eighth Route Army soldiers who had come earlier must have been sent by Li Yunlong.

Understanding what was going on, Chu Feng didn't show it. Instead, he feigned surprise and asked, "Someone else is asking him for heroin? Who is it? Is someone else like us, keeping an eye on this Tiger Pavilion stronghold?"

Chu Feng's words immediately made Zhang Mierui tense: "Commander, we need to keep a close eye on things. There must be someone who thinks the same way we do. We can't let such a tempting target slip through our fingers."

With a string of victories, Second Company Commander Zhang Mierri was extremely confident. At the same time, his instinct to protect his food was activated. How could he possibly give up the battle that was already in his grasp?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Upon hearing Zhang Mierui's reminder, Chu Feng's expression became much more serious, and he nodded slightly, saying, "Yes, we really can't let it out."

"No matter which unit it is, once our guard regiment has its eye on them, they're ours to take away from us."

After thinking for a moment, he said to Zhang Mierui, "Here's what we'll do: you'll keep an eye on the Huting stronghold, Baijia Village, and the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops in the county town during this time."

"Didn't we capture two radios? When you lead the Second Company on observation, we'll provide you with one radio, and keep the other at our regimental headquarters. Report directly if anything happens."

"Given that your Second Company is on a mission and unable to conduct concentrated training, your Second Company will still be the main force in the next battle."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mierui, the second company commander, had his eyes light up and immediately patted his chest with a cheerful smile, saying, "Regimental commander, no problem, I guarantee to complete the mission." This guy can both lead the main attack and carry out missions. Although he's a little lacking in training, he can catch up later.

Thinking of this, Zhang Mierui's eyes darted around, and he cautiously asked, "Commander, may I ask? If we are unable to participate in the training, could the live ammunition we received during this period be replenished during the next training session?"

Seeing Zhang Mierui's unwillingness to suffer any loss, Chu Feng kicked him and laughed, "Damn it, you don't want to miss out on any good thing. How can you be so greedy?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Mierui retorted confidently, "We're just terrified of being poor!"

"Furthermore, as you said, Commander, the main attack depends on our usual training. You can't dampen the enthusiasm of our Second Company."

Hearing Zhang Mieri's words, Chu Feng laughed and scolded, "Okay, no problem. You'll get whatever you're owed. We won't shortchange you."

Having received the assurance, Zhang Mierui smiled even more broadly.

Afterwards, Chu Feng left Zhang Mierui and the troops behind, and returned to the guard regiment with two soldiers.

at the same time!

No sooner had Chu Feng left than the head of the Bai Family Village maintenance committee quietly slipped away, erasing the Huting stronghold.

"What?! Someone else is asking you for heroin?" The Japanese captain at the Tiger Pavilion base stared wide-eyed, his voice filled with disbelief.
