Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

"Haha! Don't worry, this job is not in vain. I'll give you a pound of white rice and a box of canned food every day. If you want money, it's one dollar per person."

"I don't need them to be very close to the battlefield. We can just notify them to move over after we kill the devils."

Zhao Ziqing smiled and said that he was also considering the personnel issue.

When leading a team to raid the Japanese, flexibility is important. Each person needs to carry a few more guns, ammunition, etc.

That raid was bullshit, it was directly dragged down. He still wanted to seize more Japanese equipment to prepare for the next battle.

Wang Shuqi thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "Chief Zhao, I can't guarantee this either. I'll go back and inform the villagers in the town."

"With such generous conditions, I guess there will be a lot of people participating."

Zhao Ziqing said, "Okay." Then he took out a few gold bars and handed them to Wang Shuqi.

"This is considered a deposit. Please go and exchange it. If anyone is willing to come, you can give it to them first."

In fact, most of what they seized were Japanese yen. These gold bars were seized from the prisoner-of-war camp before and had never been used, so they were brought out this time.

Wang Shuqi saw this and quickly waved his hands, saying, "That's not possible. In fact, just providing food is enough. There's no need to pay."

Zhao Ziqing insisted: "We are a regular army with our own discipline. It's fine as long as the people are willing to help."

Seeing that Zhao Ziqing said so, Wang Shuqi could only take it and thank him repeatedly.

Around one o'clock in the afternoon, the scouts who had gone out sent a telegram, and the people who were fleeing learned the news from their mouths.

The Japanese invaders landed at Baimaokou yesterday, and by this afternoon they had reached Xujia City.

Upon receiving the news, the group took quick action.

At this moment, Wang Shuqi came over with more than a hundred people. Looking at the team ready to go, he asked, "Captain Zhao, are you ready to set off?"

Zhao Ziqing smiled and said, "You've come just in time. We've received news that the Japanese have entered Wushi Town, and our troops are now preparing to go over and stop them."

Wang Shuqi nodded slightly. Looking at the whole team's mental state and weapons and equipment, it was obviously different from that of a ragtag army.

This also made him feel much more at ease. He looked at Zhao Ziqing and said, "Commander Zhao, I will leave them to you then."

"We must bring them back! These are our town..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao Ziqing patted his chest and said proudly:

"Don't underestimate us, we are just a battalion. Many Japanese soldiers died at our hands!"

"We killed thousands of Japanese soldiers in Qingpu City before. The Japanese soldiers could not get any benefits from us."

Wang Shuqi's eyes widened when he heard this.

A few hundred people killed thousands of devils, but it feels like bragging, this...

Zhao Ziqing didn't care whether he believed it or not, and shouted to the soldiers: "The main goal this time is to destroy the Japanese's living forces. If you encounter a large group of Japanese, retreat immediately."

"The squadron level only gives half an hour, do you have confidence?"

After hearing what Zhao Ziqing said, the soldiers did not respond but laughed out loud.

A soldier shouted, "Captain Zhao, it won't take half an hour. Just give us ten minutes!"

This person is obviously from the second company.

Whether they are new members or the earliest ones, most of them have experienced the battle of Qingpu City.

Half an hour?

Who do you look down on?

Although it was a bit difficult for one company to snipe a squadron before, now several companies together can snipe a squadron.

What's more, now each company basically has more than a dozen Type 99 light rifles and ten grenade launchers, which can't even handle a squadron, so everyone should just give up.

It can be said that after the battle of Qingpu City, everyone’s morale was boosted, whether they were newcomers or veterans.

Faced with a squadron of Japanese devils, I really didn't take it seriously.

"Don't get complacent too soon. This time, the entire team isn't moving together. We'll split up if we have the chance."

"So it's very likely that there will only be two companies facing a squadron of Japanese soldiers. You can consider the time. I want a quick victory."

Gu Changfeng said coldly.

"Captain Gu, this is no problem. We are not afraid of our firepower." The soldier from the second company replied.

"Okay, as long as you have confidence, then that's all. Now, everyone, set off immediately."

Zhao Ziqing continued.

Then he turned to Wang Shuqi and said, "It will probably take some time this time, but we will definitely return these young men in good condition. Don't worry."

Wang Shuqi nodded woodenly. He was shocked by the tone of Zhao Ziqing and the soldiers, and was still digesting it.

But the young men he brought with him were very curious.

We have been fighting the Japanese for several months. They are not far from Shanghai, and news comes from time to time.

However, what appeared most frequently was how powerful the Japanese were and how they forced the Chinese defenders to retreat step by step.

What Gu Changfeng did today completely overturned their cognition.

It took everyone an entire afternoon to get from Xinzhuang Town around the reed marshes of Shajiabang, and it was already evening.

At this time, the 21st Army had been forced to retreat towards Changshu.

Of course, Gu Changfeng didn't know at this time that there were people he knew who were resisting the Japanese in Changshu.

At this moment, he was thinking of a way to launch a surprise attack on a small group of Japanese troops.

"Changfeng, what should we do now? Should we divide the troops or continue?" Zhao Ziqing asked.

Gu Changfeng took the map, pointed to the direction of Guli Town and said: "We should be in this place now, and the Japanese landed at Baimaokou."

"Don't split up the troops for now. Wait until the reconnaissance squad reports back."

Zhao Ziqing said, "Should we just attack the enemy's rear and rob them of all the supplies at Baimaokou?"

Gu Changfeng laughed and said, "Your idea is a bit dangerous, but it's not impossible, but not now."

"Why?" Zhao Ziqing asked puzzledly.

Gu Changfeng replied: "There's no rush. We can't run away that quickly. Let's take down some devils first."

"Another problem is that the Japanese have just landed and they still have plenty of ammunition and weapons."

"We're not in urgent need of supplies right now. Let's wait and see in two days."

Zhao Ziqing smiled and said, "That's true."

For the Japanese landing operations, having waterways to supply them is of course the best option, so it is normal for Baimaokou to serve as the Japanese supply base.

"Reporting to Commander Gu and Commander Zhao, two squadrons of Japanese troops have been spotted heading towards Changshu city."

"Two brothers have also sent news that a large number of Japanese troops are heading towards Meili Town."

The scout came up to the two and reported.

Gu Changfeng immediately ordered: "Let's go! Let's finish these devils off and go to Meili Town to have some fun."

As the order was conveyed, the group moved quickly.

As for the young and strong men in Xinzhuang Town, they have been left at the border with Shajiabang, together with a dozen soldiers and several soldiers from the telecommunications squad.

As soon as Gu Changfeng and the others have finished fighting, they will be sent over by a special person, hidden in a reed marsh, and taken away when they leave.
