Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

"Reporting to the officers, the income from last night has been counted."

The newly appointed quartermaster Wan Chenghai ran over with a smile.

Compared with before, the gap now is huge.

A large amount of canned beef, field rations, dried meat, etc. were seized, filling dozens of trucks.

I don’t know what mission this squadron is carrying out, bringing so many supplies!

The rice and flour that the Japanese had looted from the villagers' homes were also carried back by the soldiers.

In the short term, Gu Changfeng and his group will not lack food at all.

"Sirs, next is the seizure of weapons."

As Wan Chenghai spoke, his eyes almost narrowed into slits due to his smile.

Lu Daya said angrily, "Stop keeping us in suspense. Tell us, how much did we gain?"

In fact, after a battle, everyone has some idea of ​​what to do.

If a squadron of Japanese soldiers were wiped out, how could the spoils be reduced?

Wan Chenghai wasn't angry either. He smiled and said, "Since we launched a surprise attack last night, the damage to our weapons was minimal, so we were able to recover a squadron's worth of Japanese equipment!"

Then he picked up the list and started counting.

"Nine Type 9 light machine guns, four heavy machine guns, nine grenade launchers, one hundred and forty-five Type 9 rifles, and 679 melon grenades. The key point is..."

"What's the point? Tell me quickly." Lu Daya opened his eyes wide and stared at Wan Chenghai in front of him.

Zhou Qianli said with a smile: "Okay, Lao Wan, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now!"

He knew most of the data, as he had already cleared it up after the battle.

"The important thing is that there's also a 90mm mortar and twelve boxes of ammunition."

When Wan Chenghai said this, several people's hearts skipped a beat.

The Japanese Type 97 mortar weighs 345 kilograms, has a maximum range of 3800 meters, and can use a variety of types of shells. It is a rare and powerful weapon on the battlefield.

Huang Zhengkui stood there for a while, then looked at Wan Chenghai and said, "I was wondering why you were so secretive this morning and covered it with a cloth. It turns out it's this good stuff!"

Gu Changfeng didn't feel anything at first, after all, he had seen better weapons before, but now when he heard that it was a Type 97 mortar, he instantly turned into a country bumpkin who had never seen the world!

"Let's go and take a look. You guys are hiding really deep."

Hearing Gu Changfeng's words, everyone laughed immediately. Everyone was in the same mood. With this thing, it would be no problem to fight a tough battle.

"Tsk tsk, this thing is still the best!"

Gu Changfeng stroked the barrel of the gun, his surprise evident in his expression.

Lu Daya and Huang Zhengkui were not to be outdone. One squatted on the ground while the other walked to the opposite side of Gu Changfeng.

It was like seeing a beautiful widow, his saliva couldn't help but flow out, and his hands kept stroking her.

"Oh, what a pity, this thing is a bit heavy."

Gu Changfeng muttered to himself, it weighs more than 300 pounds, even without the base it is still heavy, it will take several people to carry it.

Unlike the Type 97 81mm mortar, which has a range of 2850m and a disassembled barrel weighing only 40 pounds, it can be carried around.

"Okay, that's enough. We still have something to discuss!"

Zhou Qianli was getting a little impatient. He still had something to say. Several people kept touching each other, and he couldn't stand it any longer, so he quickly interrupted them.

Upon hearing this, Lu Daya and the other man smiled awkwardly and could only follow him back to the tent.

"Brothers, our weapons and equipment are almost ready. What should we do next?"

Zhou Qianli asked, and everyone had agreed before that if there was anything, they would discuss it together, so he couldn't make any decisions on his own.

Huang Zhengkui thought for a moment, then looked at Gu Changfeng and said, "Changfeng, what do you say?"

Gu Changfeng said directly: "Forget about the front battlefield for now. We have too few people and we can easily become cannon fodder."

Zhou Qianli nodded. From the direction of Dachang to Luodian, the constant roar of artillery fire could be heard, which showed how tragic the front battlefield was.

Of course, not everyone wants to preserve their strength. What if we give thousands of people German or Japanese equipment?

There is no doubt about that, we will definitely fight the Japanese!

Forget it now, there are more than 300 people and dozens of injured people, just beat them with hammers.

The Japanese were all wiped out after a few shells.

"Then Changfeng, tell us about your plans." Zhou Qianli asked calmly.

Gu Changfeng pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.

"The Japanese infiltration has been getting more and more serious recently. The Japanese squadron we encountered last night is a typical example."

"Although I don't know what mission they are carrying out, it is definitely not a good thing."

"I think it's best to just go after them directly, and if there's a chance I can gather up some of the defeated soldiers."

Huang Zhengkui said: "I agree with this. Our forces are still small, so it's more comfortable to fight against a squadron like the Japs!"

"Once our forces are strong and we have more people, it won't be too late for us to go to the front line."

"There's one more thing." Gu Changfeng hesitated for a moment, but decided to say it.

Zhou Qianli said directly: "Changfeng, just say it, we are all family, there is nothing to be shy about."

Gu Changfeng instantly became serious: "I find that our soldiers' marksmanship is really hard to describe. It's better to practice with a small group of Japanese soldiers since they haven't had enough time to handle guns."

Lu Daya agreed, "Changfeng is right. This is a common problem in our army. Aside from the main divisions, our soldiers' marksmanship is truly incomparable!"

"If everyone agrees, then it's settled. I have one more thing to share with you all."

Gu Changfeng has been thinking about this matter for a whole day, and it has to be implemented as soon as possible.

No one said anything, just waiting for him.

"The battle will be even more brutal. We can't carry so many wounded!"

"My opinion is to have the slightly injured brothers send the personnel to Jinling. They can recover while they wait for us."

"By the way, I have some things for them to do."

"By the way, you can bring those little guys along too."

Gu Changfeng finished the story in one breath.

Lu Daya thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. We also seized some money this time."

Gu Changfeng said: "Give them all the money. We are fighting to support the war, and we don't need these things for the time being."

Zhou Qianli thought more and looked at Gu Changfeng in confusion.

"Brother Changfeng, you have no confidence in this battle?"

Gu Changfeng said seriously, "It is now October 10th, and the defense of Dachang is the 12th Army and the 48th Army of the Guangxi Clique."

"But you also know that under the Japanese invaders' naval, land, and air attacks, this battle will be difficult to win."

"You mean, the Battle of Shanghai is about to end?" Zhou Qianli got goosebumps!

The battle is still going on and the national army is still looking for opportunities to counterattack. How can we conclude that it is over?

Gu Changfeng knew that the Dachang defeat would happen in these few days, and the entire Battle of Shanghai would end on November 12.

It’s only twenty-two days away.

Next came the Battle of Nanjing.

"Alright, it's better to be prepared. Our fighting power is too weak, so it's better for the injured brothers to wait for us first."

Gu Changfeng didn't want to say much. It would be bad if he told them whether they believed it or not. It would be better to fight them first and talk about it later.

Huang Zhengkui felt that what Gu Changfeng said made sense, and he agreed directly: "I have no objection, it's up to you!"

Zhou Qianli and Lu Daya looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll arrange it!" Lu Daya said as he stood up. He wouldn't feel at ease unless he found someone he could trust.

"Give them two Turtle Boxes, ten Type 38 rifles, some ammunition, and plenty of food."

Gu Changfeng added, "Travel light and continue to rob him tomorrow."
