Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Wang Yaowu was very conflicted. He really wanted a heavy machine gun, and if the deal was agreed, a rocket launcher was even possible.

But now in Jinling, hundreds of thousands of troops have gathered, and the city of Jinling is also short of food.

To mobilize hundreds of thousands of tons of food, we really need to think of a way.

"Commander, how about we report to the higher-ups?" Gao Ling made a suggestion.

Wang Yaowu glared and said, "What's our business if they report it?"

"You know how some people behave. If you report this to the higher-ups, it's hard to say whether Kid Gu will be in danger."

Given the nature of some people, facing so many heavy machine guns, there is no guarantee that they will not threaten with force.

Given Gu Changfeng's personality, there is a high possibility of a fight, and he cannot take the risk.

"Then what do you say we should do?" Gao Ling smiled bitterly.

There were indeed a lot of dirty things happening in the upper echelons. He knew that the master wanted to protect Gu Changfeng, so he didn't say anything.

Wang Yaowu paced back and forth for a long while, then sighed softly and said, "I wonder if Commander Song can get some food out of here."

Gao Ling was startled and asked, "Song Xilian, Commander Song?"

Wang Yaowu nodded. "Their 36th Division is treated much better than ours. I wonder if he's interested."

In fact, the extra bullets are not many, and they may be gone in a medium-sized battle.

He mainly wanted to repay the favor of Qingpu City.

It was also Gu Changfeng's miscalculation. At this time, Wang Yaowu had just emerged and his strength was not that strong.

Gao Ling thought for a moment and said, "Commander Song's 36th Division has suffered heavy losses after the Battle of Shanghai. It is indeed possible that they will be needed!"

Although there are not many bullets, 50 heavy machine guns are a lot.

Especially now that the Japanese are about to attack Nanjing, he believes that many people are interested!

"Send a telegram to ask, we can't eat anymore."

Wang Yaowu said helplessly that he had been thinking of a solution for a long time during the day and had also contacted his friends in the army to see if anyone could help. In the end, he decided to ask Song Xilian, as he really couldn't eat.

However, if he could make this deal, it would not be impossible to get some benefits. With this in mind, he sent a telegram directly to the 36th Division.

Song Xilian was a bit confused when he received the news, muttering to himself, "Did the 74th Army get rich this time? 50 heavy machine guns can be taken away just like that?"

In the telegram, Wang Yaowu did not specify that it was Gu Changfeng who wanted to change, but directly asked Song Xilian whether he wanted it.

This made the army commander Song Xilian very confused.

"Commander, what do you mean?" asked the adjutant.

Song Xilian was stunned when he heard this, then he looked at the adjutant and said with a smile:

"The 74th Army's division commander, Wang Yaowu, asked us if we wanted the Japanese's Type 92 heavy machine guns in exchange for food."

The adjutant's face was full of questions as he looked at Song Xilian and said.

"I haven't heard that the 74th Army is short of food. Why are you suddenly sending us this news?"

Song Xilian shook his head and said, "Who knows? But since Wang Yaowu wants to change, then he can do it with them."

"He meant 50 heavy machine guns and extra rounds of ammunition in exchange for 13 kilograms of grain."

"If it weren't for this time, I could really get a great deal."

A Japanese heavy machine gun cost almost a thousand dollars. Before the war, 1000 dollars could buy a lot of food.

If he really changes, there won't be any advantage to be gained.

The adjutant thought for a moment and said, "I can think of a way, but this matter must be reported, otherwise it will be difficult for us to explain."

Song Xilian waved his hand and said, "Just raise it a bit. It's only 13, which is our supply for ten days. It will come out after a little squeeze."

He had more than 9000 men under his command, and each person was given 1.5 kilograms of food per day, which meant more than kilograms a day.

Compared with other ragtag troops, he is indeed more confident.

The adjutant nodded and said nothing more.

Song Xilian continued, "We have a lot of machine guns, but too few bullets. Go find a way to get some."

The Type 92 heavy machine gun uses 7.7mm bullets, which is really different from them to be honest.

If he wasn't about to face the Jinling battlefield, he wouldn't want it. It's really a bit useless.

However, at this time, every bit of combat effectiveness that can be increased is valuable, not to mention that it is provided by friendly forces, so he is helping.

.........

Gu Changfeng didn't know how Wang Yaowu solved the problem. When he received the news from Zhou Qianli, he was already in the valley.

He didn't take Wang Yaowu's request for the two rocket launchers seriously and agreed to it directly.

He had originally planned to give five, but he didn't expect to save some.

As for why they wanted 13 jin, one reason was to prepare for bargaining, and the other was that 50 heavy machine guns were indeed not worth that much at this point.

"The selection training in the camp will be left to you."

Gu Changfeng said to Zhao Ziqing.

Zhao Ziqing said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, it's just training, there's no danger."

"I'm not talking about training. Chuzhou is only about a hundred miles away from Jinling."

"The situation is complicated now, and there's no guarantee that someone won't target us. You need to pay extra attention to this."

Gu Changfeng explained.

Speaking of this, Zhao Ziqing was quite serious. After thinking for a moment, he said:

"I'll take care of this. Are you leaving today?"

"Yes, I have to go back to Jiaxing this time." Gu Changfeng replied.

Although Jiaxing was already occupied at that time, with his ability, it would be no problem for him to go back.

Not to mention that the system is now normal. If things really don't work, we can just get some heavy weapons and fight the Japanese. It's very easy.

Zhao Ziqing said, "Do you want to take some people with you? You can't move much by yourself, so a few more people can help."

Gu Changfeng shook his head and said, "Forget it. Stay here and train the others. I can do it alone."

If there was no system, he would definitely have to bring a few people with him, but it is obviously inappropriate to bring people with him in the current situation.

He could only give up the idea.

"Brother Gu, why don't you take me there?" Xiao Wu said as he came closer.

"No, train more people for me. I'll only be gone for about ten days."

Gu Changfeng refused directly.

"Then Brother Gu, please be careful. Everyone is waiting for you to come back safely." Xiao Wu said with concern.

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "It's okay. I didn't go back to Jiaxing to kill the devils. I just wanted to go home."

He wanted to take advantage of this period of time to take care of the family affairs, but to what extent would depend on the situation.

In the afternoon, Gu Changfeng returned to the village, explained the handover matters with Wang Yaowu to Zhou Qianli, and then set off directly.

Chuzhou is quite far from Jiaxing, with a straight-line distance of nearly 600 miles.

At Gu Changfeng's speed, it took him about four days to reach Jiaxing.

Jiaxing has now completely become an occupied area, and the Japanese have stopped killing people in order to better rule.

Of course, it is normal for the people to suffer oppression in the areas ruled by the devils.

It was even normal for a family to have a daughter abducted by the so-called Imperial Army and handed over to the Japanese.

Under the chaotic order, ordinary people can only survive.

After searching for most of the day, Gu Changfeng finally found an opportunity and hid in a caravan that was working as dogs for the Japanese.

Of course, he didn't take the right path, as he was afraid of being reported by these white dogs.
