"That's right. If they had noticed it, they would have shot us. Why would they have left us to eat? Speaking of which, after walking for so long, I was starving to death."
"Who says it isn't? But I heard that the food in the Eighth Route Army is very poor, so don't have high expectations. You might not be able to eat at all."
"Hahahaha, but I don't choose, as long as it is food, leave here as soon as possible after eating, otherwise I will always have a bad feeling in my heart."
Seeing these people chatting easily, it seemed as if the crisis had been resolved, but as their leader, he was the puppet battalion commander.
He was not as optimistic as these people. He always felt that something was wrong with the situation and had an ominous premonition.
At this moment, the puppet battalion commander noticed something was wrong, because he discovered that there were some new regiment soldiers near him.
But just now, without paying attention, all the soldiers of the new regiment left. In other words, they were the only ones in this place.
This made him feel more and more that something was wrong, just as he was about to tell this information to the puppet soldiers below.
'Boom~'
Suddenly, the puppet battalion commander heard the sound of artillery in the distance, which made him feel bad. Sure enough, the next second the artillery shells landed directly on them.
'Boom! '
Only a bang was heard, and a shell exploded beside them, killing several puppet soldiers on the spot.
Seeing this scene, the puppet battalion commander finally understood where the uneasiness in his heart came from, and he yelled.
"Damn it, these Eighth Route Army troops have discovered our identities, run away and find a bunker to hide."
Although the idea is good, the reality is cruel. The place without any bunkers that Ding Wei specially selected for them is almost an empty space.
After a few shots, there was no place to hide. Just like that, in less than half an hour, all the hundreds of puppet soldiers were eliminated.
This is also normal. The puppet army itself has little combat effectiveness. As Li Yunlong said in the original work, the combat effectiveness of the puppet army is not even second-rate.
In addition, this time they were still surrounded by three battalions of the New Regiment, so they were able to destroy this group of puppet troops so easily.
Soon, the political commissar came to Ding Wei with a smile on his face to report.
"Commander, it's settled. This group of people are all puppet soldiers, there are no little devils, and their bones are very soft. I'll scare them a little bit."
"All these people have been recruited. I heard from them that the little devils sent them here specifically to investigate the new rifles of our Eighth Route Army."
"New rifle? Could it be the M1 Garand rifle we have?"
As soon as he heard about this new rifle, Ding Wei looked at the M1 Garand rifle in his hand. Unsurprisingly, this rifle was the purpose of this group of puppet soldiers.
.............
Regarding this, the political commissar on the side also said seriously.
"Yes, this is the rifle we have. I heard from them that this rifle of our Eighth Route Army has attracted great attention from the top brass of the Japs."
"Now they are mobilizing all their strength to investigate the information about our Eighth Route Army's M1 Garand rifle and the arsenal that produces this rifle."
"Once the location of the arsenal is discovered, the Japs will directly dispatch large forces to destroy our arsenal."
This information undoubtedly made the two of them feel that Alexander was no longer something they could handle. It was related to the Taihang Mountain arsenal of the Eighth Route Army.
The situation would be different. It is no exaggeration to say that once this arsenal was destroyed by the Japs, the situation of the Eighth Route Army finally improved.
They will be instantly beaten back to their original shape, and will be back to the previous situation of being short of guns and bullets. Therefore, no matter what, the little devil's conspiracy cannot be allowed to succeed.
Almost immediately, they reported this information to the chief. When the chief received the information, he immediately attached great importance to it.
Then a meeting was held around this topic, the core of which was how to prevent the coming crisis.
They knew very well that the little devils had noticed their M1 Garand rifle and began to investigate.
Although the location of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal has not yet been investigated, they know that the intelligence department of the Japs is no joke.
If the investigation continues like this, it won't be long before the little devils will investigate the information about the M1 Garand rifle and the location of the Taihang Mountain Arsenal.
At the same time, judging from the urine quality of the little devil, once the investigation is found, the little devil will directly dispatch large troops, in the words of the Army.
The Eighth Route Army is not worried, after all, their weapons and equipment are now several levels better than before, at least the current Eighth Route Army.
It can basically guarantee that each person has one gun. Of course, the majority are made in Hanyang, followed by the 38-gai and M1 Garand rifles.
After this period of development, the Eighth Route Army already has tens of thousands of M1 Garand rifles, as well as DP light machine guns.
There are already more than 300 troops, almost equipped with fifteen or six regiments, so such weapons and equipment are in the army.
They can still barely compete with the Jaap, but what they fear most is the Jaap's fighter jets. Fighters.
They really don't have a good solution at the moment. The only solution they can think of is the anti-aircraft gun that Su Bei mentioned some time ago.
Thinking of this, the chief picked up the phone on the table and called Su Bei directly.
As soon as the call was connected, the chief got straight to the point.
"Xiao Su, what you were worried about a few days ago has happened. The Japs have taken action. Today, the new regiment of the 386th Brigade discovered a group of puppet troops pretending to be our Eighth Route Army."
"They captured it immediately, and learned from the mouths of these puppet soldiers that the little devils had noticed the recent changes in our Eighth Route Army."
"Today's group of puppet troops are the little devils sent here to investigate the location of your arsenal. According to what these puppet troops said."
"The top management of the Little Devils attaches great importance to this matter. As long as the location of our arsenal is determined, they will start to take action."
"I'm worried about the Japs' planes, so I'm calling you this time to ask how the development of the anti-aircraft gun you mentioned last time is going?"
