Chapter 179: Diligence and thrift are the keys to success
After the squadron leader Sora Kamii had his afternoon lunch, he took a walk outside and then naturally lay down on the recliner.
The Huangjiaba, which has been guarded like an iron barrel, is the capital that gives him peace of mind.
The chief of staff came to him and said after seeing that he was going to rest, "The enemy's 74th Army's frontline troops engaged our friendly forces, and the two sides engaged in artillery battles. I speculate that they may make a big move."
Big move?
Shang Jingkong closed his eyes for a while and asked, "Have their independent regiment made any moves?"
"Not yet. Our people report that the independent regiment is still resting in a town outside Chuzhou."
"Then there is nothing to worry about. As long as his independent regiment does not move, the troops in front can intercept them. We don't have to worry about anything."
Even if they take action, what can they do?
The secret sentries along the way would also discover them, and the reconnaissance planes in the air would not allow them to appear openly.
"Instead of worrying about the enemy coming to us, we should worry about our soldiers accidentally firing their weapons. Once the weapons are fired, the supplies of more than two divisions will be reduced to ashes. Even if we commit seppuku, we will not be able to escape the responsibility."
"Your Excellency the Captain is right. I will arrange it myself."
It was getting dark. Zhou Weiguo rubbed his sore neck. Xiao Ye poked his head out from the side; "Weiguo, is it time to take action?"
Zhou Weiguo looked at the sky and shook his head; "No, we will act at dawn."
If they act now, they are prepared. If they have gas masks, it will be troublesome. If they act at dawn, their reactions will be slow. Even a few seconds will be enough to take their lives.
The cold made everyone present shiver. Zhou Weiguo tightened his leather jacket. Fang Shengli took out a chili from his pocket and handed it to him, saying, "Eat one. Even though it doesn't work very well, it's better than nothing."
Zhou Weiguo took it and took a bite. In an instant he felt his brain spinning.
But after taking this sip, his body did warm up quickly. Seeing him sticking out his tongue like a dog, Ono handed him the kettle; "Take a sip."
Zhou Weiguo took it and drank it. He immediately looked at Xiaoye fiercely, "You son of a bitch, you are just pretending to be drunk. You..."
"What are you yelling about? Alcohol makes cowards brave. There are many new recruits in the first and second battalions this time, and this time we are going to raid a long distance. Do you think they won't be afraid?"
The best way to solve the problem of them not being afraid is to let them drink and keep warm, so that their courage will rise.
Zhou Weiguo had no way to refute it, so he could only take another sip and sigh, "It's terrible, I'll buy something better next time."
It's dawn.
Zhou Weiguo threw the kettle aside, then came to Chen Qi and said, "The poison gas bombs must be covered to ensure that every place in this town can be taken care of."
"Don't worry, Captain. I have already made a plan. I will definitely make sure that everyone here gets what they want."
The phrase "rain and dew are equally distributed" doesn't seem to be appropriate here, but Zhou Weiguo waved his hand without caring; "Let's do it."
Boom...boom...
boom……
This time the field artillery did not use ordinary artillery shells for cover, but directly dropped poison gas bombs.
Artillery shells exploded one after another in the town and outlying positions.
Zhou Weiguo calmly lit a cigarette and estimated the time. In the distance, he could faintly hear the wailing of the Japanese soldiers. The wailing did not last long and everything became calm.
Fang Shengli was standing beside him, looking worried. Zhou Weiguo looked at him in confusion. "Why are you frowning?"
Fang Shengli let out a sigh of relief; "Weiguo, if they send the news out, then we will..."
"What the hell." Xiao Ye beside him took a sip of wine and pointed to the distance; "They want to say it, but the poison gas won't give them that opportunity."
Just wait and see, I guess there are corpses everywhere in there.
In a daze, when you realize there is an explosion, your first reaction is to hide, but in the face of poison gas bombs, any hiding you do is in vain.
"Let's go." Xiao Ye put on a gas mask and waved his hand; "Hurry up and pick up the things so that we can go home. If we stay here, we won't be able to wait for the supplies to be delivered to us."
He walked forward, and the people from the quartermaster department followed him.
Zhou Weiguo turned his head and looked at the battalion commander Liu Jun. Liu Jun quickly led the people of the first battalion to rush forward. They had to deal with the enemies inside first to prevent this group of people from reviving and then secretly shoot someone.
The Japanese troops in the outer positions were gone, and as we walked further inside, everything was quiet.
When Zhou Weiguo stepped into the entrance of the regiment headquarters, there was no movement.
However, the bodies of several officers appeared in the courtyard. Judging from their ranks and the people around them, these people probably lost their lives while discussing something.
"Is there anyone alive?" Zhou Weiguo asked while squatting on the ground.
Fang Shengli looked down and shook his head; "This is the most secure place and there is no one there. I guess other places are also closed."
Zhou Weiguo said "oh" and walked in.
The radio station was still on, but the people inside were dead. There were some tea leaves in the office, and a few bottles of sake were placed there, unopened. Zhou Weiguo walked over, opened a bottle, took a sip, and threw it to Fang Shengli, then said to the people around him; "Don't just stand there, help move it quickly, we have plenty of time, we can't delay too long."
Ono's men were already moving the supplies, which were indeed the war reserves of two divisions. There were food, clothes, ammunition, shells, trucks, and gasoline. He even found a medical warehouse, which was what the independent regiment lacked the most.
"Suoga, we've made a fortune." Xiao Ye rubbed his hands excitedly and looked at Chen Ning beside him; "What are you looking at? Hurry up and drive all the trucks and tanks outside to me. Everything should be mainly loaded with supplies. Today, we must not leave them even a pair of shoes."
Chen Ning exclaimed as he looked at the mountain of food and fodder.
After he went out to deliver the message, he came to Ono again.
Xiao Ye was eating a can of food with great pride. When he saw Chen Ning coming over, he threw a can of food to him without any courtesy and asked, "What are you doing here? Didn't I ask you to move some things?"
Chen Ning took the can and opened it. "Director, there are more bodies than a regiment outside. Do you want to send someone to go..."
Xiao Ye's face instantly turned cold. He looked at Chen Ning in front of him and narrowed his eyes. "Chen Ning, you have been with me for so long, when have you ever seen me being a wasteful person?"
Don't die. There are so many supplies already, why are you still thinking about those dead things?
Can I be a human being for once?
Chen Ning was a little depressed. Aren't these supplies enough for the independent regiment to use for a while?
"What are you looking at?" Xiao Ye stood up and knocked Chen Ning on the head, then said meaningfully, "You don't understand the principle of thrift and diligence. Hurry up and leave. I want everything except the pants."
