Chapter 66

When the two regiments of the Sixty-sixth Army lined up to hand over their satchels, Lin Fan said to Commander Ye and Chief of Staff Taishi:

"Are there any other good things hidden on those Japanese soldiers?"

"They should be like Squad Leader Zhen and the others, confiscating everything from the Japanese soldiers."

His words reminded the two generals, who immediately sent people to strip naked all those Japanese soldiers who had tried to run away with Captain Toyota but failed.

The effect was immediate. Yu Yongning of Liu Yong's regiment found a pair of gold earrings and a gold necklace in a small pocket sewn into a Japanese soldier's clothes.

This greatly encouraged the enthusiasm of the other soldiers.

They searched the battlefield even more carefully.

Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang pointed to the piles of clothes, leather shoes, and bedding and asked, "Company Commander Lin, what are you collecting these things for?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "New for three years, old for three years, patching and mending for another three years.

"These old clothes can be dyed again and worn again."

The Special Forces Company wasn't poor, but they definitely weren't wasteful!

Lin Fan said to Qian Youcai, "First, distribute the weapons and equipment to the four regiments, and have them return to their respective positions immediately."

"Yes!" Qian Youcai had already started busying himself upon arrival.

Now, upon receiving Lin Fan's order, he immediately summoned the quartermasters of the Sixty-sixth and Eighty-third Armies.

They immediately began replenishing equipment for the four regiments.

The equipment they were distributing now would all be accounted for later.

The quartermasters needed to tally up all the materials, weapons, and ammunition seized in Chunhua today.

And how much was allocated to each team.

Since they were still in a tense wartime phase, all the machine guns and cannons were to be used first and accounted for later.

Commander Ye Zhao saw that his soldiers were still continuing to hand over their spoils to the satchel pile.

Riding on his warhorse, he said loudly, "Everyone listen up! Everything that was seized today must be handed over.

"I'm going to send people to search your bodies later."

His words immediately caused several soldiers who had just handed over their satchels to change their expressions.

Commander Ye Zhao asked Lin Fan in a low voice, "Fifteen thousand in legal tender, how can we come up with that so quickly?"

Lin Fan smiled and said, "Commander Ye, don't worry, once things are settled here, it can be distributed today."

After speaking, he pointed to the things on the ground and said, "Let's have soldiers from all four sides start sorting these things out!"

Only then did Commander Ye Zhao understand that this Company Commander Lin was so generous because he was simply rolling in wealth.

Commander Ye's question earlier was actually what Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang was worried about.

After such a commotion today, the rewards promised to the soldiers should of course be distributed as soon as possible, so the soldiers could get their hands on them.

Here in Jurong, the two armies combined only had a little over 26,000 people, plus the soldiers of the Special Forces Company and Li Zhize's company.

In total, it was almost 30,000 people, and at five yuan in legal tender per person, they needed 150,000 yuan.

This was not a small sum, and even in peacetime, these two armies couldn't come up with it all at once.

Now, hearing Lin Fan say it so easily, they couldn't help but understand: the Special Forces Company must have brought that much money with them.

Commander Ye Zhao said to Lin Fan with a smile, "Company Commander Lin! You have a secret to getting rich!

"Can you reveal how you get rich, so that we brothers can get rich together too?"

In fact, Lin Fan had been eyeing these two armies: if he had the strength of two armies from the beginning in the base he was establishing.

Then he could firmly establish himself in the Central China region from the start.

This would also gradually restore order in Central China and delay the Japanese devils' plan to continue their invasion up the Yangtze River.

Commander Ye Zhao was clearly a hardliner who liked power, which Lin Fan couldn't give him.

But if he liked money, Lin Fan could satisfy him a little.

Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang was also listening carefully to the conversation between the two men.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "I once saw someone say: the best time to make money is when a country collapses, or when a country is just established.

"Now is the time when the country is suffering, so it's actually easy to make money.

"But I only make money from the Japanese devils. Like today, after one battle, we killed five thousand Japanese devils.

"Taking the moral high ground, even if we don't count the gold and silver, just the guns and cannons we seized are worth hundreds of thousands in materials."

Commander Ye Zhao's eyes showed obvious disappointment: "Fighting the Japanese devils has always been a losing proposition, how can you make money?

"Not only are the soldiers suffering heavy casualties, but the consumption of weapons and ammunition is also high, and losses are serious.

"Like when we retreated from Nanjing, all the mortars were lost, and although there were only ten or so heavy machine guns, they were all lost too.

"That's all money, all money!"

Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang nodded repeatedly, indicating his strong agreement with Commander Ye's view.

Lin Fan pointed to the machine guns, heavy machine guns, mortars, and infantry guns that were still being distributed and said, "That's because you didn't follow the right person!

"Look at today, these weapons we've seized, as long as we want to sell them.

"We can exchange them for hundreds of thousands of silver dollars at any time.

"And look at our consumption today, the ammunition consumption can be made up for with what we seized, so there's no need to calculate it at all.

"Only the casualties of the soldiers, Commander Ye, you can ask about the casualties today?"

Commander Ye asked, "What were the casualties of the Fifth Platoon of the Special Forces Company today?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "Zhen Danxiao is timid, but he fights steadily, so there were no casualties today!"

Commander Ye called Liu Wan and Liu Yong over to inquire, and only then did he learn that "The two regiments had a total of thirty-seven minor injuries, nineteen serious injuries, and thirteen deaths, including Man Ankang, who was killed by Zhen Danxiao."

Hearing about such battle damage, Commander Ye looked excited: "We made a great profit!"

Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang showed a sincere smile on his face: "Congratulations! Congratulations! Fighting a battle like this with less than a hundred soldiers lost.

"A great victory! A true great victory!"

Commander Ye Zhao was thinking hard, they were all old foxes who had been around for centuries.

The meaning of Lin Fan's words was too obvious: he wanted his army to fight with him.

Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang also understood this: this Company Commander Lin was ambitious, and he, a mere company commander, actually wanted to pull a snake-swallowing-an-elephant trick and have two armies fight the Japanese devils with him.

Although the country was in trouble and everyone was willing to fight the Japanese devils from the bottom of their hearts.

But who would be the leader was still a matter of great importance.

Commander Ye Zhao thought about everything that had happened since he met this Company Commander Lin: from the time they met to now, only twenty-four hours had just passed.

One division of his Sixty-sixth Army had already completed a full re-equipment.

This Company Commander Lin was more generous than President Chang.

It was a pity that he was only a company commander and couldn't give him any more.

And from what he had learned in this one day, this company commander was serious about fighting the Japanese devils, but it was also true that his company had ulterior motives.

This made Commander Ye Zhao a little wary, as he was the most obedient knife in President Chang's hands.

Thinking of this, Commander Ye Zhao laughed loudly, "Company Commander Lin, the Sixty-sixth Army can't learn your way of getting rich!

"To seize weapons from the Japanese devils and exchange them for money, the Sixty-sixth Army's combat strength is not strong enough."

Disappointment appeared on Lin Fan's face, without any disguise: "What a pity! Commander Ye, I actually have no ambition.

"I just want to drive the Japanese devils out as soon as possible, as for the brothers fighting each other after the Japanese devils are driven out.

"Then everyone will be loyal to their own masters.

"There's actually nothing to it."

Commander Ye Zhao had already made up his mind, and he shook his head: "The Sixty-sixth Army appreciates Company Commander Lin's kindness.

"But I can promise Company Commander Lin that in the future, as long as we're fighting the Japanese devils, if Company Commander Lin needs any help, just say so."

Lin Fan thought about this person's future and finally stopped trying to save him.

Sure enough, a person's destiny is determined by countless choices. Today, Commander Ye's choice had actually determined his future destiny.

Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang said with a smile, "I will definitely report Company Commander Lin's way of getting rich to Commander Deng."

Lin Fan also changed his attitude and said with a smile, "We'll talk about the future later, let's do the present well!

"Today, let's join forces to fight the Japanese devils and get rich!"

Hearing about getting rich, Commander Ye Zhao asked, "Are the Japanese devils who came out of Nanjing all so rich?"

Lin Fan thought for a while and said, "Judging from the gold and silver jewelry that these Japanese devils are carrying with them.

"They no longer have any military discipline in Nanjing City. These Japanese devils just didn't have time to send away what they had plundered.

"It will probably be impossible to carry out such a black-eat-black operation again in the future.

"But if you two are interested, I do have a way to get rich."

Commander Ye Zhao and Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang asked at the same time, "What way?"

Lin Fan said with a smile, "The Japanese devils attacked Nanjing this time, and we can find so many things on these soldiers.

"Their officers certainly won't have less than them.

"The Japanese devils can't keep these things on them all the time, they will definitely send them home."

Commander Ye Zhao immediately understood, "They can only mail them back, and it must be the military's special cruise ship!

"The Japanese devils are also afraid of being exposed for these things.

"So they will use special ships to transport them. We can rob their ships and expose their behavior.

"We can not only get practical benefits but also show the international community evidence of the Japanese devils' looting."

Commander Ye Zhao had learned to answer first, his emotions were high, and excitement appeared on his face.

Lin Fan nodded repeatedly and finally clapped his hands: "Commander Ye's analysis is reasonable!"

"This requires intelligence, and now the lower reaches of the Yangtze River are the Japanese devils' territory.

"It's too difficult to take action." Commander Ye Zhao's emotions dropped in the next moment.

Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang, who had also been excited just now, heard Commander Ye's words, and his high emotions cooled down.

Lin Fan said with a smile, "That's for sure, but the harvest is also great! Just think, it's a cargo ship directly, plus who knows how many treasures that were plundered by the Japanese devils."

Commander Ye Zhao looked at Lin Fan's appearance, and he didn't seem to be lying, he looked like a veteran.

He couldn't help but ask, "Have you done this kind of thing before?"

Lin Fan laughed and didn't answer.

Commander Ye Zhao and Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang, the two old foxes, looked at each other and immediately understood: Company Commander Lin had really done this before.

They just didn't know which Japanese devils' ship he had robbed, and this could also explain why his Special Forces Company was so rich.

The soldiers who were still handing over their satchels saw that the soldiers who came with Commander Ye Zhao were doing the same as them.

The difference was that these soldiers were picking bags out of the pile of satchels.

Some people were specifically responsible for shaking out the bags, some were specifically responsible for sorting, and some were responsible for putting them back according to one satchel and one bandage.

Lin Fan said to Commander Ye Zhao and Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang with a smile, "These satchels can be distributed to the two regiments that participated in the battle here today.

"As a souvenir, they can also be used to hold some things.

"The Japanese devils didn't come enough today, so there's no way to give every soldier a satchel.

"Let's distribute them to the soldiers who participated in the battle in Chunhua first."

As for the notebooks in the satchels, they were all taken by the Special Forces Company.

The soldiers found several wooden boxes from the town of Chunhua and used them to store these jewelry.

The soldiers simply sorted and packed the boxes by gold, silver, gems, pearls, and agate.

Commander Ye Zhao looked at these things, which were piling up more and more in the boxes, and his face was full of joy.

He said with a smile, "These Japanese devils are really too hateful, they robbed so many things from the people in Nanjing City."

Lin Fan's face was sad: "The ancients said: It's better to be a dog in peaceful times than a person in troubled times.

"Now all the Chinese in Nanjing City think the same way.

"They are suffering the Japanese devils' slaughter and looting."

Chief of Staff Bu Haobo said, "Is Company Commander Lin too pessimistic?"

Lin Fan said seriously, "You don't see the details. The Special Forces Company has been fighting the Japanese devils since Shanghai.

"For so long, every time we finish fighting, when we clean up the battlefield, we leave the Japanese devils with a last piece of cloth to cover their shame.

"Whether it was in Shanghai, Jiaxing, or Jiangyin.

"Even when we were defending Nanjing City, we cleaned up the battlefield in the same way.

"At those times, the Japanese devils' satchels contained notebooks, pens, bandages, and some soldiers carried small mirrors, family photos, and letters.

"There were also soldiers carrying a few yuan, but never the entire team carrying all these things.

"These things are obviously women's jewelry, or things used to guard the house.

"Think about it: under what circumstances would women take out these jewelry?"

Chief of Staff Taishi Hongyang sneered, "I'm afraid they would rather die than take out these jewelry.

"These things are women's lives, they would rather die than leave these things behind."

Lin Fan nodded: "Now these things are concentrated in the Japanese devils' satchels, which means that many of our female compatriots have suffered at the hands of the Japanese devils.

"Today, there are only five thousand Japanese devils here, and they are carrying so much jewelry.

"The entire Japanese devil force attacking Nanjing is as many as two hundred thousand, and the Japanese devils entering Nanjing City will not be less than one hundred thousand.

"Think about it, what is the scene in Nanjing City now?"

"The Japanese devils have come all the way from Shanghai, and I've heard that they have massacred villages, but I haven't heard of them massacring a city.

"Moreover, Nanjing is an international metropolis, and there are so many foreigners in the city.

"Are the Japanese devils not afraid?" Ye Zhao was puzzled.

"The current Japanese devils have become inflated, and these Japanese devils who have invaded Nanjing City don't even know who they are anymore.

"They are not afraid, and now these Japanese devils are only thinking about how to rob more money and materials," Lin Fan said in a low voice.

Bu Haobo said hatefully, "If the Japanese devils really massacre the city, then it would be too cruel!"

Lin Fan shook his head and thought to himself, "Is massacring the city cruel? The Japanese devils have already been doing even crueler things, they just haven't been exposed yet.

"The Japanese devils' Unit 731 is much crueler than massacring the city."

But he couldn't say it now.

Lin Fan didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, he didn't want to see these jewelry stained with blood anymore.

He came to Li Zhize's company, and said with a smile to Company Commander Li, "Thank you, Company Commander Li, for taking the lead just now."

Li Zhize said with a smile, "It's nothing, anyway, everyone is the same."

Lin Fan pointed in the direction of Nanjing: "Company Commander Li's soldiers have superb horsemanship, send three squads to monitor the Japanese devils in the direction of Nanjing.

"The farthest to Gaoqiaomen, but don't enter Nanjing City."

Company Commander Li immediately arranged for three cavalry squads, and Lin Fan said to these three cavalry squads, "Don't all three squads go up.

"The first squad can be exposed to the Japanese devils, and the second and third squads must protect the first squad."

He shouted loudly, "Lao Zhiqiang! Bring ten of our bombs over."

Lao Zhiqiang and Ji Yongjun each carried five, bringing ten bombs that had already been loaded with iron pellets.

Lin Fan said, "Before the first squad goes, first find a good location on the road and bury two bombs.

"If there are pursuers chasing after them, lead them directly into the trap.

"Brothers of the second squad, let our own people pass, and then pull the string!

"The Japanese devils will go to heaven."

Everyone present laughed.

Li Zhize already knew that the one in front of him who was always saying "I, I" was Lao Zhiqiang.

He was the expert in this team who specialized in setting up bombs, and immediately humbly asked how this kind of bomb was made.

And how was it placed when bombing the Japanese devils just now?

When he heard that this was not a landmine buried underground, but was used just like that on the outside.

He couldn't help but say, "If you put them in a hidden place, they won't be discovered at all!"

Lao Zhiqiang said with a proud smile, "Of course, if you bury a landmine, no matter how you disguise it, as long as you pay attention.

"There will always be clues to the place that was just buried that can be seen with your eyes.

"This is different, even if it's a hundred meters away from the target, it's still very powerful.

"If you put them on both sides of the road, the Japanese devils won't be able to find them at all."

All the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Company of the Li Regiment were elites among elites, and each of them was capable of being an instructor.

After seeing Lao Zhiqiang do it once and asking some precautions, they immediately understood.

The three reconnaissance squads took the ten directional bombs and went out to scout.

The Weno Ling squadron, which set out from Tianwang Temple, departed at eight o'clock in the morning and arrived at Xiayu Temple at ten o'clock.

After marching for two consecutive hours, the Weno Ling squadron leader could see that the soldiers were a little tired.

So he ordered, "Rest for fifteen minutes!"

The team had just stopped, and soon the puppet army battalion commander Leng Jingguo ran over: "Master! We just discovered that someone is peeping around."

There were many people who had been peeping at their team along the way, but Battalion Commander Leng had not reported it.

He came to report this time just to say a few more words to Squadron Leader Weno Ling.

To show that he was doing things seriously with his team.

Battalion Commander Leng Jingguo had only defected two months ago, and he tried to please all the masters, regardless of their rank.

It was precisely because of his cautious attitude that allowed him to grow explosively from an initial small team of less than six hundred people.

In these two months.

Of course, such an obedient dog should be used well, so the Japanese devils took in those remnants of the Nationalist army.

They were afraid of letting them go, fearing that they would continue to pick up their guns and come again, and they were afraid of international public opinion if they killed them.

So they threw these soldiers to Battalion Commander Leng and let him manage these soldiers well.

This also led to the rapid expansion of Battalion Commander Leng's forces.

Squadron Leader Weno Ling enjoyed this traitor's flattery very much, and instructed with a very serious face:

"The supplies we are escorting this time are urgently needed by the front line.

"We must take good care of them.

"Don't let people use the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain to rob them."

"Yes! Yes! Master is wise, Master is insightful.

"This lowly one will go back and convey the Master's instructions, so that those little ones can be careful," Battalion Commander Leng kept nodding and bowing.

This attitude made Squadron Leader Weno Ling very satisfied: "Go back! We must get to Jurong today.

"Some small thieves on the road, as long as they don't take the initiative to attack, we will let them go this time.

"We will clean them up later.

"These small thieves are really hateful! They even dare to rob the Empire's supplies!" Squadron Leader Weno Ling said hatefully.

"Yes! Yes! Master is insightful!" Battalion Commander Leng continued to nod and bow.

Squadron Leader Weno Ling knew that if he really let this battalion commander chase after those small thieves.

His battalion of six thousand men could wander around for a day and then come back to report that the people had escaped.

Squadron Leader Weno Ling didn't expect anything from this team's combat effectiveness at all.

He just used them as labor, and they were better than those strong men who were forcibly conscripted.

This is just a group of livestock that walks on two feet! Squadron Leader Weno Ling's view of Battalion Commander Leng's entire battalion.

After performing the role of a filial son and virtuous grandson in front of Squadron Leader Weno Ling, Battalion Commander Leng Jingguo returned to his position.

The flattering expression on his face suddenly changed, and he asked seriously, "Are the people who were peeking at us just now still there?"

His chief of staff, Zhou Gaoya, immediately bent down and reported, "Report to the battalion commander! The people who were peeking at us just now have changed again.

"This time there are four, do you want to chase after them?"

Battalion Commander Leng Jingguo specifically waited until he had finished speaking, and then paused for a while before saying:

"Master instructed! The most important thing at the moment is to send these supplies to Jurong.

"Other things can be put aside for the time being.

"Those small thieves who are peeking at us, we will clean them up when we come back from Jurong."

Chief of Staff Zhou Gaoya immediately replied, "Yes!"

He immediately turned around and ordered, "Pass it on! No one is allowed to pursue them, protect the supplies being transported."

The order was transmitted to Squadron Leader Rong Hanxu, who was at the front of the team.

Squadron Leader Rong Hanxu smiled happily: "I was worried that if we were sent out to chase them, what would happen if we encountered an ambush?

"What would happen if someone got hurt?"

The little soldier of his squadron, Shan Huacan, cooperated and said, "That's right, even if no one gets hurt, it's not good to hurt the flowers and plants on the roadside."

"Good boy! You have potential!" Squadron Leader Rong Hanxu was even happier.

They had just passed on the order conveyed by Battalion Commander Leng to the soldiers.

After resting for a few minutes, the whole team continued to advance.

Just as they had advanced less than a kilometer, Squad Leader Pu Yuanming, who was clearing the way at the front of the team, sent Shan Chengfu to report:

"We just found a few people riding warhorses in front, and they turned around and ran when they saw our team."

Squadron Leader Rong Hanxu scolded unhappily: "What is Pu Yuanming doing?

"We just conveyed the Master's order:

"We don't need to care about those small thieves, we just need to escort the supplies and hurry on our way.

"Protecting the supplies is the most important thing, as long as they don't rush up to rob things.

"If they want to scout, let them scout.

"Tell Pu Yuanming, no shooting! No chasing! No scolding!"

"Three no's!"

Shan Chengfu quickly ran back: "Report to the squad leader! The squadron leader ordered: No shooting! No chasing! No scolding!"

Pu Yuanming had originally mobilized the soldiers, preparing to run faster to see what was going on.

Hearing the order conveyed by Shan Chengfu, he said somewhat incredulously, "Say it again?"

Hearing Shan Chengfu repeat the "three no's" again, Squad Leader Pu ordered, "Disband! Continue to advance!"

Platoon Leader Yu Yongning had just led the reconnaissance team and had not been able to control the warhorses.

He almost crashed into the middle of the puppet army's front team.

He was so frightened that he quickly turned around and ran away, and after running for a while, he looked back and saw that no one was chasing after him.

Only then did he feel relieved!

He said to Yuan Gangjie, "No one is chasing after us! Did you see how many puppet soldiers were coming just now?"

"A lot!" Yuan Gangjie, who only said two words, was also confused.

Just now, they were all the same, those eyes had no way to see clearly how many people were in the coming team.

Platoon Leader Yu Yongning knew how dangerous the situation of the Nationalist army in Jurong was.

He thought for a while: "Let's lead the warhorses a little further away and hide them. Yuan Gangjie, you take seven people with me to go forward and see what kind of people are coming?

"Ge Hanlin, take your squad and take good care of the warhorses, and prepare to meet us."

"Yes!" Squad Leader Ge Hanlin quickly replied.

They were the reconnaissance team of the Ding Zimin regiment under the 154th Division of the Eighty-third Army, led by Division Commander Wu Jianxiong.

Since Lin Fan insisted on packing up Rong and "surrounding the point to strike the reinforcements," their regiment and the Sheng Feiwen regiment of the First King Sixth Division first built positions between Tianwang Temple and Jurong.

They were preparing to snipe the Japanese devil team coming from Tianwang Temple.

The reconnaissance platoon led by Platoon Leader Yu Yongning was specially designated by the army commander, and for this reason, they were also equipped with warhorses for the seventeen people who were on the mission.

Platoon Leader Yu led Yuan Gangjie, Guang Junfeng, Neng Zhengqing, Ning Zhizhi, and seven other soldiers.

They walked towards the location just now.

Shan Chengfu's eyesight was good, and he recognized people accurately.

He suddenly pointed to the left side of the team and said, "Squad leader! The people who rode back on horseback just now are here again."

Squad Leader Pu Yuanming said unhappily, "Three no's, have you forgotten?"

Hearing that the squad leader was obviously in a bad mood, Shan Chengfu could only watch Platoon Leader Yu and his group go further and further away, less than five hundred meters away.

Yuan Gangjie asked strangely, "Platoon leader! They obviously saw us, why didn't they react?"

Platoon Leader Yu smiled: "They should think we are just passers-by."

Yuan Gangjie looked at the back of this puppet army team and hadn't seen the tail yet, and said in surprise, "There are so many of these puppet soldiers."

"At least four thousand can be seen!" Ning Zhizhi said in a low voice.

"Didn't you see any Japanese devils?" Platoon Leader Yu asked, frowning.

"I haven't seen them yet! These puppet soldiers are driving large carts, I don't know what's loaded on the carts?

"There are already three hundred large carts!" Ning Zhizhi said.

"Keep counting! Since they are not prepared, it must be because they have a lot of people this time.

"We will see clearly and then go back to report," Platoon Leader Yu instructed.

This group of them continued to walk towards Tianwang Temple at a distance.

"Platoon leader! I saw the Japanese devils!"

Platoon Leader Yu Yongning also saw the Japanese devils: "Look carefully, see how many Japanese devils there are, and what weapons they are carrying?"

This time, the main force facing the Japanese devils coming from Tianwang Temple will be the team of the Eighty-third Army.

Platoon Leader Yu Yongning knew this, and he wanted to check the strength of the Japanese devils clearly.

Without the soldiers watching, Platoon Leader Yu also saw clearly: "There are not many Japanese devils, and their weapons and equipment are not strong.

"There is no Type 92 infantry gun, and there are no heavy machine guns.

"There are a total of four light machine guns and three mortars that he can see among the Japanese devils."

Seeing this, he was finally relieved.

"Let's see, are there any Japanese devils behind?" Platoon Leader Yu instructed.

They continued to walk for five minutes and confirmed that there were no teams behind.

Platoon Leader Yu stopped: "We can go back, one squadron of Japanese devils, six thousand puppet soldiers.

"No infantry guns, no heavy machine guns!"

Several scouts nodded, this number was the same as what they had observed.

The seven of them ran faster at a greater distance.

This time, Shan Chengfu finally didn't see Platoon Leader Yu and the other seven running to the front of them again.

Returning to the location where the warhorses were placed, Platoon Leader Yu ordered, "Yuan Gangjie, Ning Zhizhi, you two go back immediately and report what you saw: six thousand puppet soldiers are carrying eight hundred large carts, followed by two hundred Japanese devils.

"There are no Type 92 infantry guns or heavy machine guns in the entire team.

"The puppet army's vanguard is now in Linbian.

"It is estimated that they will arrive in Jurong in two hours.

"We will follow this team and send someone back to report every five li."
