Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 46: Little people’s “curve to save the country”

 After the ambush, Li Yunlong, who had not caught up with the battle, patrolled the scene with a look of displeasure on his face. He expected to find some Japanese who was not dead.

 After learning that Dai Yu had stabbed a Japanese soldier to death, Staff Officer Li felt envious and jealous and felt uncomfortable all over his body.

 Even if it’s just a sword replenishment, it’s okay. It doesn’t matter if you come back empty-handed.

Suddenly, he saw the former Northeast Army soldiers who temporarily joined the team picking up "trash", so he said angrily:

"You are so poor that you are crazy. Your Marshal Zhang had so many arsenals back then. Wasn't he extremely rich?"

“I told you that I only need bullets and melon grenades, but what do you want to do with that tattered 38-meter cover?”

If there was no Yellow River, Li Yunlong would of course value every hard-won capture.

 The production capacity of his own arsenal is too low, and Lao Li, who was born in a cadre regiment, will not give up any opportunity to expand the army.

 But before setting off, his good fellow countryman revealed a piece of news to him.

 As long as they wait until June, the troops can gradually replace them with new infantry weapons. And not just rifles, but even light machine guns can be made by yourself.

Coupled with the fact that he is now in the stage of escaping, Li Yunlong naturally despises these rags.

The soldier from the Northeast Army was not angry when faced with Li Yunlong's teasing, but showed a simple smile.

“The commander-in-chief is rich, but the young commander-in-chief is also a prodigal. I only have a crooked weapon and I don’t know what to do with it. No matter what, I have to get a rifle.”

Hearing this, Li Yunlong no longer stopped his behavior.

 The crooked handle is somewhat expensive and requires diligent maintenance by soldiers, otherwise its reliability will be too low.

Theoretically, this weapon can only function well if it is neither cold nor hot, windy, sandy, not wet, not dry, and well lubricated.

 The temperature is so low now, and they are walking so fast that they don’t even have an oil can on their hands to lubricate their ammunition.

In case something goes wrong with this crooked handle, having a rifle will give you more possibility of survival.

 After everyone had finished arranging, the special agent company continued to set off. The whole process only took less than twenty minutes.

 In the following journey, the mountain road began to become flat and open.

 Although the snow is still very thick, the marching speed of the team has obviously improved.

However, Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong were not happy. After meeting a wave of Japanese soldiers, the next step would definitely be more dangerous.

An hour after the secret agent company ambushed the Japanese team, the Japanese squadron leader Narita Kazuya, who was far away in the county town, finally couldn't sit still because he couldn't wait for the news to come back.

Although his subordinates are always sneaky and cunning, this is an order directly issued by the headquarters, and they certainly dare not neglect it.

  Narita Kazuya was 50% sure that the team must have encountered an accident. Even if it was not completely wiped out, it must have lost the ability to move.

At present, he can no longer divide his troops from the county garrison, otherwise he may really die if he is attacked by nearby guerrillas.

　　With a decision made in his mind, Narita Kazuya immediately sent someone to summon the local Imperial Army. Although he despised these scumbags who betrayed their ancestors for glory, he now had to rely on them to confirm the situation.

However, these losers also have advantages, that is, they have many people and are loyal and hardworking.

 Narita Kazuya looked at the map near the county seat and thought silently in his heart.

“With so many people looking for the whereabouts of a small team, it should be fast.”

 But the puppet troops after leaving the city did not act as he expected.

The puppet company commander, who was dressed in yellow leather, held the brake of his bicycle as soon as he was far away from the county town.

 He signaled to the hurried brothers around him to stop, and raised his hand to the man who was riding the most joyfully.

I saw him hit the puppet soldier on the brim of his hat hard and cursed:

"What are you doing so quickly? You really want to collect the corpses of the Japanese?" "How many times have I told you that we are going to save the country through hard work and courage! Have you really forgotten your father's surname and want to recognize a thief as your father?"

“Look at your lack of eyesight. If you still do this in the future, just go home and farm for me, so as not to bring trouble to everyone.”

 “Old rules, I’ll be beaten, you act based on my looks.”

Although these "puppet troops" dare not face the invaders directly, they have always used their own methods to do things. They have never oppressed the people.

Once there is an opportunity to act alone, they will pretend to have fought hard, and then hand over all the bullets and weapons they carry to the local anti-Japanese armed forces.

 Even their company commander had secretly contacted the nearby county brigade and district squad and reached some secret agreements.

 To a certain extent, it is really “saving the country through curves”.

 The fact that these people have been able to stay under the eyes of the Japanese for so long is all due to their superb acting skills.

Until now, Narita Kazuya in the county town has not doubted them. He only thinks that these people are loyal but incompetent wastes.

These people decided to seriously search for the missing Japanese team after entering the mountains. This thing is not difficult, after all, there are traces to find, and the general direction is known.

 After finding it, they planned to bring some tokens to prove it.

Then find a far away place to shoot all the bullets you carry, pretending to meet the Eighth Route Army.

It takes almost two hours to go back and forth from the county town to the mountains. They plan to go back within three hours.

 At that time, I will point that old devil Narita Kazuya in the wrong direction.

This kind of behavior that is both true and false is true, but it is their unique skill and their way of survival.

Sure enough, this trick is still so effective.

 Although Narita Kazuya was furious after hearing the report from the "puppet army", he did not doubt the authenticity of the news.

 He slapped the company commander on the face. This slap caused blood to flow from the corner of the actor's mouth and even knocked out a tooth.

 The actor company commander lowered his head pretending to be aggrieved, but he had mixed feelings in his heart.

"Eighth Master, brothers have tried their best, but this is our limit. I hope you leave safely."

  The wrong news was quickly passed on by Narita Kazuya to the headquarters of the First Army far away in Taiyang.

Yoshio Shinozuka, who came after hearing the news, looked at the map in disbelief.

 He did not expect that these Eighth Route Army troops would march so fast, covering nearly 40 kilometers in just ten hours.

If the Imperial Alliance Army hadn't discovered their traces, these enemies might not have been able to escape successfully.

Reward! Must be rewarded heavily! What a good man who dedicated himself to the holy war for his brother's country!

At this time, the old devil also realized that with this kind of combat power and physical fitness, they were definitely not guerrillas. The enemy was most likely a small elite group of the Eighth Route Army.

The enemy is not weak, so the search force sent must be at least equal to their strength.

 Otherwise, even if it is discovered, it may be wiped out by the enemy. The time difference caused by this will increase the difficulty of the pursuit mission.

"Send my order! Immediately send a report to the counties around the target and order them to search in full squadron units."

“In addition, even if there is a battle, the transmission of information must be given priority.”

“Inform the cavalry and the garrison and send out cavalry for reconnaissance immediately! I want the heads of this Eighth Route Army before dark.”

Under the cover of the "puppet troops", Zheng Yingqi and Li Yunlong led the soldiers of the special agent company gradually away from the Japanese encirclement.

  Shinozuka Yoshio and the top brass of the First Army never dreamed that they would suffer a second loss from a small person.

   I have not cleared myself of being a traitor. When writing this chapter, I thought of Sir Gao in TNO. What do you think of this guy?
