A magazine of 30,000 rounds, you call it Hanyang

Half a day later, all the Japanese troops returned to the camp listlessly and dejectedly.

"Where's the food? Tell me, where is the food you looted?"

Seeing the troops coming back, Maruyama asked anxiously.

"Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, there is no food. There is no food at all. How can we rob it?"

"Not only is there no food, but there's not even a single person to be seen..."

"If you don't know, you'd think this is a no-man's land!"

"Even the wild vegetables in the fields were dug up clean. Zheng Kaixuan didn't leave us a single hair. There's not even a bite to eat in such a huge black cloud mouth."

"They've scooped up all the fish in the river. I sent a whole squadron of soldiers out to fish, but after a long time, they came up empty-handed..."

"Let alone us, even the rats here would cry and leave..."

Maruyama Sutaku was silent.

"Here, what should I do?"

After a long silence, Maruyama's eyes suddenly lit up and he came up with a good idea.

"Send the order down and tell the kitchen staff to cut each pancake into 24 pieces."

"Before, when it was cut into six pieces, one pancake was only enough for two people. If it is cut into twenty-four pieces, then one pancake will be enough for eight people. This way, our food can last eight times longer..."

"Originally, we only have ten days' worth of food left. Now, we can last for three months. Hahahaha, I'm such a genius at work..."

The brigade chief of staff, Saito Sho, who was standing next to him, stared at Maruyama Sotaku as if he were a fool.

"Your Excellency, there's really no need to go to all this trouble. Just throw a can of beef into the pot and fill it up with water. Wouldn't that be enough for hundreds of people?"

"Anyway, there's no shortage of water. It's inexhaustible. If the locust soldiers are hungry, just drink more water. It won't be long before the friendly forces of the 109th Division arrive. When that happens, we can borrow some food from them..."

Maruyama Sutaku kept nodding his head and approved of Saito Sho's method.

"Saito-kun, your idea is really brilliant!"

"Report—We've discovered fighter plane wreckage within the Weizhuang Sharp Knife Regiment's base. The Sharp Knife Regiment has already evacuated Weizhuang and is nowhere to be found. However, we've discovered numerous footprints on the mountain trail leading to the mountains. Zheng Kaixuan is likely hiding deep within the mountains..."

At this moment, several Japanese scouts, riding on war horses, ran quickly to Maruyama Sutaku.

"Nani!"

Maruyama Sutaku and Saito Sho were suddenly shocked and gasped.

Although they had received a telegram from Fumisaburo Kawagishi two days ago, informing them that the three Japanese fighter planes had not returned since they carried out the mission of bombing the Spearhead Regiment, and they were very likely to have been shot down.

But speculation is one thing, and confirming the news is another.

"Take me to see it."

Maruyama Sutaku got into the armored vehicle and soon arrived at the Wei Zhuang base.

"hiss!"

When he and Saito Sho saw the shattered wreckage of the fighter plane on the ground, they couldn't help but shout out in surprise again.

"Now I can confirm that the Sharp Knife Regiment has powerful anti-aircraft machine guns."

Maruyama Sutaku looked up into the distance. As he looked at the rolling mountains, a deep fear appeared in his eyes.

"Zheng Kaixuan, Zheng Kaixuan, how many cards do you have hidden?"

"Brigade Commander, should we march into the mountains?"

A Japanese captain asked.

"Snapped!"

Maruyama Sutaku slapped him hard in the face.

"Fuck off, go back and eat your pancakes first, and wait until the friendly forces arrive."

Maruyama doesn’t even dare to go into the mountains now!

He was extremely wary of Zheng Kaixuan and the Sharp Knife Group at this moment.

Unconsciously, his mentality had undergone a huge change.

From the time he first set out on the expedition, he was arrogant and dismissive of the Sharp Knife Regiment. Now he was filled with fear and caution! Even he himself didn't realize that he had already developed a fear of the Sharp Knife Regiment in his heart!

As the saying goes, people cannot be taught, but things can be learned once they are taught.

His Ono Regiment was almost destroyed in less than two hours of fighting with a small unit of the Sharp Knife Regiment. More than a thousand Japanese soldiers were killed, and the regiment commander Ono Kenji is still in a coma.

This battle immediately woke Maruyama Sotaku up.

He understood that when it came to conventional troop combat, he might not be Zheng Kaixuan's opponent.

All he could rely on were planes and tanks.

But now it seems that the spearhead regiment can even shoot down fighter jets.

And their Type 97 medium tanks simply could not drive into the mountains.

As long as the spearhead regiment hides in the mountains and does not come out, these 20 powerful tank formations will be just decorations, just scrap metal, and will have no chance to exert their power.

In fact, all the actions and situations of the Japanese were under Zheng Kaixuan's control.

Although he was far away in a cave deep in the mountains, the two Triumph drones were still working.

Wang Fugui's brothers secretly shot a large number of videos with drones while trying their best not to be discovered by the Japanese.

Far away in the mountains, Zheng Kaixuan could understand the Japanese's every move.

The current situation is that the Japanese dare not enter the mountains, but the spearhead regiment cannot get out.

The two sides just kept wasting time in tacit understanding, forming an invisible confrontation.

Although if they really continue to fight like this, the Japanese may not be able to outlast them.

But this made Zheng Kaixuan feel very unhappy.

No matter what, this is our own territory. What's going on when the Japanese block the door in our own home?

Although he couldn't leave the mountain for the time being, Zheng Kaixuan definitely didn't intend to let the Japanese live such a comfortable life anymore.

That evening, as he watched the Triumph drone flying back to the camp from a distance, he suddenly had an idea and a good idea came to his mind.

He immediately sent someone to call Wang Fugui.

"Fourth Battalion Commander, I have a mission for you. Starting tonight, you will..."

When Wang Fugui came to see Zheng Kaixuan, he was holding a bulging tattered cloth bag in his hand, and no one knew what was inside.

When Wang Fugui heard Zheng Kaixuan's order, he was not surprised at all. Instead, he grinned, revealing his big white teeth, and laughed.

"Hehe, Captain, that's a really mean trick of yours! The Japanese are going to be in big trouble now..."

"However, as a soldier under your command, I am even better than you. I have a trick that will surely make the Japanese suffer so much that they would rather die than live..."
