"Didn't you say you'd be back in half a month? Why did you go so long?" The voice on the other side was a bit harsh, but there was no trace of embarrassment on Tang Cheng's face, only laughter and relaxation. With Tang Cheng's look, he was obviously angry with the director. The director sitting across the table finally couldn't hold it back and raised his hand to give Tang Cheng a hard blow on the head. It's a pity that the director's expression looked ferocious, and the action of knocking down the chestnut seemed to be full of force. When the curled finger fell on Tang Cheng's head, there was no force at all.
Tang Cheng, who was shocked by the boss, was not upset. He just cooperated with the boss and showed a grinning expression, which made the boss' anger dissipate a little. Facing the director's scrutinizing gaze, Tang Cheng could only purse his lips, took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and handed them to the director. "I didn't go out this time just to hang out! This is the diary I wrote down every day during the days we were out. It contains records of my assessment of the Japanese and puppet troops. I thought you might be able to use these records. !”
The evaluation record that Tang Cheng handed over to the bureau chief was not very detailed, but its content on the combat effectiveness and weapons and equipment of the Japanese and puppet troops aroused the bureau chief's interest. "This time we surrounded this county and carried out multiple raids on multiple Japanese and puppet military strongholds within 200 kilometers of the county! The results of the raids are as written in the record. The Japanese troops are no longer as strong as they were in 1937. It is difficult to deal with them because they have very few veterans, most of them are new soldiers and Manchu soldiers transferred from outside the customs."
"I have twice faced more than one squad of Japanese troops alone. During the battle, I found that their junior officers were not as good as before. A Japanese captain or major who could command an infantry squad actually faced my sneak attack. His performance is worse than that of a Commander Cao. I learned from Japanese prisoners that many low-level officers currently in the Japanese army in China were transferred from the so-called rear areas such as Tianjin and Peiping. They have no battlefield experience at all."
"All the Japanese soldiers I shot and killed didn't have enough ammunition on them, and some even only had forty or fifty rounds of ammunition. There were often only a dozen veterans in an infantry squad, and the rest were almost all recruits of the year. , the combat effectiveness of these new recruits is not even as good as that of the puppet army. During this period, I attacked many Japanese and puppet troops. When fighting in the field, their mortars were just decorations because of the lack of shells. They are now equipped with It’s still an old-fashioned fifty-millimeter grenade, and it’s completely inaccurate beyond a hundred meters.”
"After destroying the Japanese and puppet strongholds, when we were cleaning the battlefield and counting the loot, we found that the current logistics supply of the Japanese army was very bad. The military cans they distributed before tasted pretty good, but now, they distribute cans and pig food Almost, the Japanese army themselves don't eat those things. Moreover, their military uniforms can't keep up. I even found a patch on the uniform of a Japanese second lieutenant." When Tang Cheng said this, he suddenly paused. , placing a Japanese officer's command knife that he brought on the table.
"This is an officer's saber that we captured. Frontline troops should have captured many of these before." Tang Cheng said as he casually pulled out the command knife and showed it to the bureau chief. "But they have never seized such a command knife! This knife is basically an iron bar with a handle randomly added to it. Farmers outside Chongqing will dislike it if it is used to chop pig food."
