Bright Sword: Japs, times have changed

In the next few days, the entire row of soldiers devoted themselves to the construction, and wooden houses rose from the ground.

The people were also not idle. They opened up several pieces of arable land in the area planned by Lin Qiang, and they could start sowing next spring.

During this period, Zhang Yuntian also went out to find a lot of tools, and some soldiers who had worked as carpenters began to make furniture for the built wooden house.

According to this progress, the construction could be completed in half a month at most.

But at this time, Hu Zi, who was sent to the surrounding areas to recruit new soldiers, returned to the base with a very important piece of information.

After Hu Zi returned, he handed the new recruit to Zhang Yuntian, then found Lin Qiang and said, "Platoon leader, the Japanese are likely to make a big move!"

"What is the specific situation?"

Hu Zi drank all the water in one gulp, wiped the water droplets from his mouth, and said, "When we passed by Wangzhuang the day before yesterday, there was a cavalry company of the puppet army stationed there. It's not just Wangzhuang, there are puppet troops and Japanese activities in several other towns. Among the people we brought back this time, there was a militiaman from Wangzhuang. I heard him say that the Japanese are arresting anti-Japanese elements on a large scale, but he doesn't know why they are doing this."

"The Japanese have been causing trouble one after another during this period, which is indeed a bit unreasonable."

Lin Qiang rubbed his chin in thought, but he couldn't guess what the devils were planning. However, he did have a bold plan: "You said earlier that there was a puppet cavalry company in Wangzhuang?"

"Yes."

Hu Zi said, "As soon as I left, they entered the town and blocked both exits, not allowing anyone to enter or leave."

"Are there any devils?"

"no!"

Lin Qiang's eyes lit up: "Are you sure?!"

Hu Zi thought about it carefully and said with certainty: "There are definitely no Japanese soldiers, and we haven't seen any Japanese soldiers moving in the direction of Wangzhuang."

"Snapped!"

Lin Qiang slammed the table and said with a smile: "Great!"

"What's so good?"

Hu Zi was startled and asked, "Platoon Leader, are you planning to attack the Wangzhuang puppet army cavalry company?"

That was a cavalry company, and the terrain around Wangzhuang was flat, which gave cavalry a huge advantage in combat.

Even if you can't win, you can withdraw at any time.

The Japanese are also very close to other places, and the battle cannot be ended in a short time. The Japanese reinforcements will arrive soon, and by then, not only will we not catch the fox, but we will also get into trouble.

Lin Qiang looked at him and asked, "Why, now that living conditions are better, you won't eat the fat meat that's right in front of you?"

The two of them came to the table and leaned over to look at the map covered with scribblings. Lin Qiang smiled bitterly and said, "Looks like we have to find a way to make a new map."

Pointing to the location of Wangzhuang, Lin Qiang said, "Look, we are less than 30 kilometers away from Wangzhuang now. The team is lightly equipped and can reach Wangzhuang in a few hours. By the time we get there, it will be almost dark. As long as the puppet army's cavalry company has not left, we can sneak over and catch them off guard."

"You've fought a lot of puppet troops, too. The ones you met were either cowardly or had long been thinking about rebellion. When these puppet troops encountered us when there were no Japanese, which one of them didn't raise their hands and surrender?"

Lin Qiang's words were not an exaggeration. The combat capability of the Eighth Route Army made the puppet army terrified. Without the oppression of the devils, they would have wanted to surrender on the spot. When fighting with the devils, they would have just fired a few symbolic shots.

If we really say that they are determined to work for the Japanese and would kill their own troops, there are really not many puppet army troops that would do that.

Lin Qiang wanted to take advantage of this and devour the puppet cavalry in Wangzhuang. With this batch of equipment, he could form a cavalry company of his own.

At that time, only one company's equipment was left of the cavalry battalion in Wanjia Town. The regiment commander Li Yunlong protected it like a treasure and even refused to let Lin Qiang try it out.

After coming out to develop on his own, the original body had always wanted to form a cavalry team of his own, and this idea also deeply influenced Lin Qiang.

So after learning the specific situation, Lin Qiang immediately decided to wipe out this puppet cavalry company.

"Go, let Qiangzi lead the team to rest for an hour. After an hour, follow me!"

Hu Zi quickly stopped him: "Platoon Leader, let me go with Qiang Zi. Besides, we only have so few people. If something goes wrong, I'm afraid we'll suffer."

"Hold the courageous to death, starve the cowardly to death."

Lin Qiang said, "There must be quite a few militiamen in Wangzhuang. This is a good opportunity to recruit them all. I'm also certain that the Japanese's actions have had a significant impact on the local guerrillas. Perhaps there are guerrillas who want to devour this cavalry unit. If I don't go, I'll regret it."

"No need to say more, go inform Qiangzi and let him take the team to rest for an hour. Oh, you come with me, and call the monk and Duan Peng as well."

This is a good opportunity to let Duan Peng show his strength in advance, so that others will not think that he is being treated differently.

"Yes!"

After Hu Zi left, the system's voice suddenly rang in Lin Qiang's mind: [The battle has been detected to be over, with a casualty ratio of 1:22, a small-scale battle.]

[Get 1 bonus material doubling card, 5 vehicle driving manuals, and 1 special operations training manual!]

[Material Double Card: You can specify a certain material and double the original quantity!]

[Vehicle Driving Manual: After using it, the user can immediately master the driving of various types of vehicles! ]

[Special Operations Training Manual: After use, it can enable the user to master all special operations tactics and provide comprehensive training for team members!]

After hearing about these rewards, Lin Qiang muttered to himself, "How many days have passed? This is a belated reward... I have to take it too!"

……

Three hours later.

Behind a ridge outside Wangzhuang, there were 36 Eighth Route Army soldiers lying there, including Lin Qiang, and the Wangzhuang militiaman who was brought back by Hu Zigang.

Since the enemy could get out of the encirclement of the puppet army without being noticed, they could also go back without being noticed, which greatly reduced the risk of exposure.

Lin Qiang lay on the ground and took out a cigarette: "Huzi, arrange for someone to be on guard. I'll have a cigarette first."

It was still early, and Lin Qiang's plan was to sneak in after dark.

In some cases, the puppet army is even more hateful than the Japanese devils. As fellow Chinese, these puppet soldiers will harm the people whenever they get the chance. Lin Qiang is 100% sure that these puppet soldiers are eating and drinking to their heart's content in a civilian's home.

But this was a good thing for Lin Qiang. He wished they were all drunk so that he could capture them all without firing a single shot.

It still gets dark relatively late in the north after autumn. The soldier in charge of observation reported the puppet army's shift change three times, and it was not until the fourth shift change that good news came.

"Platoon leader, the puppet troops have changed shifts for the fourth time. These guys look groggy, as if they haven't slept for days and nights."

After listening to Qiangzi's report, Lin Qiang laughed and said, "This is not a case of not sleeping. Can't you see? These guys are almost drunk."

"Tell the brothers to cheer up and start the action after dark!"
