Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Gu Changfeng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, the Japanese are trapped in the cave by us now. We will probably finish them off soon. What are you going to do now?"

Zhao Ziqing had thought about this problem a long time ago. If he could get out, he would not plan to return to his original unit. It would be too embarrassing.

Moreover, with the label of having been captured on his body, it would be difficult for him to survive in the army.

It's especially frustrating to be living like this, so you might as well go out and fight the Japanese by yourself. There's no difference as you'll all die on the battlefield anyway.

Seeing that they were silent, Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "Do you know where the Japanese keep their food? It's not good for everyone to stand here in the wind. Let's make a fire and cook first!"

Zhao Ziqing nodded and immediately gave orders.

Liu Dabao had been paying attention to what the others were saying, and now he was walking towards the front.

"Brother, I'm familiar with this. I'm in charge of logistics. I've observed everything since I got here. Let me go!"

Now that he has been rescued, he must perform well, otherwise if the fact of his surrender is exposed, he will be finished.

Zhao Dabao doesn't want to die, because there is a lot of money waiting for him at home!

"Okay, you go and arrange it! Let everyone have a good meal." Gu Changfeng agreed directly.

After Liu Dabao left, Gu Changfeng asked, "This little fat guy has a high rank, even a lieutenant colonel. How did he, a logistics officer, get captured by the Japanese?"

Zhao Ziqing shook his head and said, "We don't know anything about this either. He was just sent here, and his identity has never been revealed."

"Changfeng, there are 386 people here in total. I have counted them." Huang Zhengkui walked over and said with a smile.

Gu Changfeng hummed, then looked at Zhao Ziqing and said, "You guys don't have anywhere to go anyway, so come with us to fight the Japanese! We've captured a large batch of Japanese weapons this time, which is just right for you to equip."

"Of course, I won't force you. If you don't want to, then forget it. We all share the same ideals, so it's more enjoyable to work together."

Huang Zhengkui grinned. It was the familiar recipe and the familiar taste. He felt that the battalion commander could not escape.

Zhao Ziqing carefully looked at Gu Changfeng and his group, smiled bitterly and said, "You are all defeated soldiers, you don't even have enough ammunition!"

Although all the weapons in front of me are Japanese weapons, they might have just been stolen. What future can I have with them?

Huang Zhengkui became unhappy when he thought about this.

"I'm telling you, high-ranking official from the Central Army, we're a force that specializes in fighting the Japs' elite."

"Although we are defeated soldiers, we have fought many tough battles."

"The Japanese lieutenant commander's swords, we have a lot of them."

"If it weren't for that shameless guy, Captain Liao, we would have seized a colonel's command knife."

Huang Zhengkui spoke angrily.

Zhao Ziqing looked at it for a while in doubt, but it didn't look like it at all.

Gu Changfeng explained with a smile: "Before, more than 300 of us defeated a group of Japanese soldiers to rescue the civilians, but we also suffered heavy losses."

"Fortunately, Commander Liao of the 21st Group Army came to our aid in time, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable."

Zhao Ziqing was still a little unconvinced when he heard this. He was from a German-equipped division and was not a stranger to the world. How could three hundred people dare to fight a battalion of Japanese soldiers?

"Okay, I see you have quite a bit of prestige in front of these people. Why don't you just come back to the camp with us later?"

Gu Changfeng didn't want to do anything that forced others, it was best if it was done voluntarily.

Zhao Ziqing said, "That's fine, but if we're not satisfied, we can leave at any time. You brothers can't stop us."

After the few people finished discussing, Gu Changfeng looked at the scene in front of him and wanted to laugh.

There were constant sounds of gunfire in the cave, but people were cooking in the camp. If the Japanese soldiers in the cave knew about this, they would be so angry that they would die.

An hour later, the smell of food wafted through the camp, and the Japanese in the cave had been completely wiped out.

The two groups of strangers began to eat voraciously.

Zhou Qianli came close to Gu Changfeng and whispered, "How's it going? Have you dealt with them?"

He knew Gu Changfeng's thoughts too well. If he didn't bring these hundreds of people to his team, he would not be able to sleep at night!

Gu Changfeng made a gesture and said with a smile, "It's almost right."

These nationalist soldiers were stunned when they saw their full set of equipment: about a hundred people, about ten light machine guns, nine grenade launchers, and artillery shells stacked in boxes.

There are also some weapons that I don’t understand. How the hell can a team of a hundred people have these?

Zhao Ziqing was of course also stunned. He gradually believed what the two said, just these Japanese weapons and their military uniforms.

There's no way it could have been sent by a superior!

The only possibility is that they got it by stealing it, but the question is, are these the only people?

"Brother Changfeng, I want to know, are there only more than a hundred of you coming here today?"

Zhao Ziqing couldn't help it and ran directly to Gu Changfeng to ask, mainly because he didn't know the other people, and he was even less familiar with the battalion commander Zhou Qianli.

Zhou Qianli looked up and smiled: "Brother, you are from the Central Army, a disciple of the Emperor!"

Zhao Ziqing's face turned red immediately. These words sounded sarcastic to him, and he couldn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Qianli didn't embarrass him and said directly: "It's not that I look down on you, we were all the same before."

"If Changfeng and the others hadn't rescued us, we would have probably been killed by the devils."

Gu Changfeng said happily: "Don't blame me for this. It's all Old Huang's credit, and it's also because you dared to turn around and fight the devils."

Zhao Ziqing finally understood what was said. They were indeed defeated soldiers, but judging from their equipment, it didn't seem that way.

"It's nothing, really. We all came here to fight the Japanese, so we just gathered together when we met."

Gu Changfeng explained.

Zhou Qianli said: "Changfeng is right. In fact, these equipments were all looted, and some were obtained by Changfeng."

At this moment, quartermaster Wan Chenghai ran over happily, saluted everyone, and reported.

"Commanders, a total of 573 Type 26 rifles, 6 boxes of grenades, 92 Type 2 heavy machine guns, 4 Type heavy machine guns, and mortars were seized from the entire prisoner-of-war camp."

"156 Type 2 rifles and Type rifles were damaged, almost all of them were damaged by artillery fire."

Wan Chenghai didn't even bother to report the bullets and artillery shells. There were too many of them and he didn't want to order any. He was so generous!

Huang Zhengkui was furious after hearing this: "These guys in the artillery squad are so wasteful. They actually damaged so much!"

Gu Changfeng said: "Old Huang, if we don't deal with the Japanese in the cave, we'll keep them for you to celebrate the New Year. What's the harm in damaging some weapons? We can just go and rob them from the Japanese."

After hearing what he said, Huang Zhengkui felt embarrassed and said shyly: "This, this is because I am used to living a hard life!"

"Don't show that expression, it's not disgusting enough."

Gu Changfeng couldn't bear to watch. Can you believe that a rough guy was pinching the corner of his clothes?

"Ha ha!"

There was a burst of laughter all around.

After a while, Zhou Qianli spoke when he saw everyone stopped.

"Hurry up and eat. I have a feeling something is wrong. Logically, this prisoner-of-war camp should have more troops than these."

He had been following them, so he naturally knew the number of Japanese dead, but there were only more than 300 Japanese corpses here, which did not look like a squadron. It was very strange.

Upon hearing this, Gu Changfeng immediately became serious and said to Wan Chenghai, "Have you identified the highest ranking Japanese official?"

Wan Chenghai said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. We seized a Japanese officer's command knife and his identification card."

Zhao Ziqing had just been listening to several people talking, and suddenly spoke up.

"Although I haven't seen all the Japanese troops, I have seen the lieutenant commander here."

"I heard he committed some crime and was punished to be sent here to guard the prisoner-of-war camp."

"Besides, this prison camp hasn't been here for long, only half a month. We were only brought here ten days ago."

Gu Changfeng continued, "So perhaps a whole battalion of the Japanese soldiers here was crippled?"

Zhao Ziqing nodded and said, "That's possible."

Zhou Qianli thought about it for a while, but still felt uneasy, so he said directly: "Lao Lu, arrange for someone to watch over the intersection."

Upon hearing this, Lu Daya immediately stood up, pointed out a dozen people and left.
