Conversing with the young man, Chen Chong saw that the opponent's equipment was not bad, and quickly replied: "It's just that our platoon's equipment is better!"
After Chen Chong finished speaking, he thought to himself, if you had come half a month earlier, we would still have armored vehicles!
"Hey, you, a poor platoon leader, still hang a box cannon?" The young man was filled with emotion.
"You mean...this Mauser?"
"Hey, boy, you know a lot. Tell me, how many bullets does your Mauser pistol have?" The young man looked at Chen Chong and saw three cowhide bullet boxes hanging on his Japanese belt. Of course, he didn't believe it. They were all bullets. I had seen many regiments in the division using branches to fill bullets. I was just asking casually.
"Not much! Just thirty!" Chen Chong began to calculate.
"Uh, bring so much? Well, you are going out on a mission, so it wouldn't be strange to bring more. Otherwise, I really wonder if you are pretending to be an independent group!" The young man didn't care and looked at Chen Chong with a smile.
"Reporting to the leader, there are 100 Tomosaka bullets, plus Mauser bullets, the total in the gun is 145!" Chen Chong reported quickly.
He was talking about the Tomosaka rifle. When the young man heard the words, the number of bullets... he suspected that he had heard wrongly: "How many... how many did you say?"
"...one hundred and forty-five!"
The young man was dumbfounded, and his jaw immediately dropped to the ground, smashing it to pieces.
After a long time, he tightened his chin and said, "Show me?"
"No!" Chen Chong looked wary.
"You guy, you're still fine. I don't want yours... Your rifle bullets are of different calibers than ours, so it's useless to come!" Seeing that Chen Chong was dumbfounded and didn't answer, he couldn't help but turn to look at the others. The soldier in similar uniforms, who also had a heavy bullet box, raised his hand and pointed his finger at the few soldiers standing aside: "What about them?"
"Them? Except for the grenade launcher and the machine gun ammunition shooter, they are all the same!" Chen Chong answered honestly.
"What? The twenty or so of you brought... let me count... more than three thousand bullets?" The young man's voice became louder.
The suddenly louder sound attracted the attention of several people who were dozing around: "Captain Liu, who has 3,000 bullets?"
"Hey, this time we met a rich man. These soldiers from the independent regiment said that half of their platoon had more than 3,000 bullets, as well as machine guns and grenade launchers! Do you believe it?"
"I believe you, Captain Liu. Didn't you listen to their bragging to the sky?" The person who was talking saw a soldier coming down from the hill. What was he carrying on his shoulder was a black and shiny machine gun: " No, their platoon is really quite crooked!"
The anti-college cadre rotation training team at the division headquarters had just finished its training. Before the cadres returned to the army, they received a mission to find people in enemy-occupied areas. As a result, the headquarters encountered an enemy raid.
The division headquarters ordered the rotation training team to find ways to avoid direct confrontation with the Japanese army and slip through the gaps in the Japanese encirclement to preserve their strength.
And this group of students are basically battalion and regiment level cadres of combat troops! They are all cadres from the Red Army period and have very good fighting qualities.
Therefore, most of the blockades on the periphery were set up by the Japs and the security forces, and there was almost no problem in breaking through. On the way, they encountered the Japanese troops raiding several times, but they were successfully avoided. The whole team quickly arrived near Yangcun.
Since they were on the periphery, the enemy situation nearby was not serious, so the marching troops happened to encounter Chen Chong's platoon.
This small unit of the Independent Regiment attracted everyone's attention, and they still half-believed what Chen Chong said. Chen Chong didn't say much, and I won't tell you even if you don't ask me. If I say that I blocked a large Japanese army in the mountains for a whole day, I will be laughed at.
The sun was fierce, so the training team did not move forward. They planned to stay in the woods until dark before making any plans.
A middle-aged man turned around from the east. He didn't have a rifle on his back. The shell holster was swinging in front of him. His dark face was covered with big beads of sweat. He walked up to the young man in the shade of the tree, pulled off the buckle and took off the gun. He lowered his hat and waved it vigorously in front of his face, bringing with it a bit of hot wind, and said, "Report! A village was found in the east, but there is no one there!"
After speaking, he took a few sips from the water bottle.
"The villages here are all like this, okay, continue to investigate southward!" Captain Liu thought for a moment and replied.
"Yes! Uh, captain, there is one more thing... I want to report." The person continued.
"Don't say that you want to return to the army. Your regiment cannot collapse without you as the regiment leader. You must study like you are studying!" Captain Liu looked at the middle-aged man who was older than himself and was still the regiment leader. Direct criticism.
"Where are you thinking! This time I really don't want to talk about going back, haha..." The middle-aged man who was called the leader said with a black line: "j Well, when the correspondent and I were taking a break, we found a place in the village. There was a group of pigeons resting on the roof beams, so he used his slingshot to shoot two of them, and was preparing to fight for the tooth ceremony! Later, he discovered that one of them, hehe, is different!"
"What's the difference? Let's get to the point!" Captain Liu looked up at him.
"This pigeon is fatter and bigger than other wild pigeons. Moreover, it has a delicate metal hoop on its foot. There is also a piece of tissue paper stuffed in the hoop, which is densely covered with Japanese characters!" After that, He took out the anklet and handed it over.
"Carrier pigeon?" Captain Liu reached out and took it, unfolded it carefully, and found that it was full of unfamiliar Japanese characters, and he immediately frowned.
"In my opinion, it should be a military pigeon used by the Japanese to deliver intelligence!" the regiment leader judged.
"Well, it must be that in order to keep secrets, the Japanese troops kept the radio silent during the raids, and used this ancient method to transmit information. It was really thoughtful!" Captain Liu couldn't help but sigh: "Immediately find the comrade translator from the Anti-War Alliance! "
"Where can I find him in this deserted place?" the group leader looked helpless.
"Uh... isn't this area a military defense zone?"
"But along the way, apart from some common people, we didn't even meet a single comrade." The group leader frowned.
Captain Liu thought for a moment and said to the person next to him: "Uh, by the way, go and call Chen Chong from the independent group! Ask him."
After a while, Chen Chong, with a mournful face, walked quietly to the tree and saluted.
"Hey Chen Chong, why are you crying so hard? Let me ask you, is there anyone in your army who knows Japanese?" Captain Liu asked.
Chen Chong just went to find the instructor of the third battalion to inquire about the situation, but the result was good. Except that the young man in front of him was the political commissar of the rotation training team named Wang, he didn't find out anything. His original Mauser rifle and all the bullets were gone. In exchange for a scull without bullets!
Chen Chong quickly stood up and replied with a vigilant face: "Japanese? There is no one with this name in our army! I don't know him!"
"Let me tell you, I don't even know what Japanese is. Japanese is the Japanese language, and you're talking nonsense! The Independent Regiment doesn't even have a cadre to participate in the training, so I think it's impossible! We have to find other ways." I was very happy and said with a smile.
"I didn't ask you, where did all the nonsense come from!" Captain Liu looked serious.
"Yes!" A group leader was continuously criticized by the young captain! The old face was red.
"Hey, my mind is confused." Captain Liu then remembered: "Immediately send someone to the division to find Coach Miyamoto! Their station should not be far away."
"The subdivision station is not far away, more than a hundred miles away. I do know someone who can speak Japanese!" Chen Chong couldn't help but say. He remembered that the man named Pu who came here with Company Commander Chen of the Beishan Regiment seemed to have said that he could speak Japanese. Still in Jiulianli.
"Where?" Captain Liu was overjoyed.
"Our company is stationed! However, I heard he said that he is from the Anti-War Alliance, not from our independent regiment. It seems that he has followed us on the mission this time." Chen Chong said as he thought.
"Back and forth...you are more than fifty miles one way, and more than a hundred miles round trip. How long will it take?" Captain Liu asked.
"We have horses! Send someone back. It takes about half a day to go back and forth!"
Captain Liu looked up at the sky, then raised his hand to look at his watch: "Then send someone back quickly, bring this piece of paper with you, and ask him to translate it. You must try to get back before dark! Is there any problem?"
