Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

Chapter Ninety-Nine: Cavalry Company

"Wang Wei...is that you..." Shangguan Yun whispered.

"Yes... Brother Shangguan, my men have cleared out the sentries inside. Let's hurry, the Japanese will be changing shifts in half an hour..."

"Alright, Xiaogang, Ban Ge, you two take your men to the barracks and work with Wang Wei to wipe out all the Japanese. Zhao Peng and I will go to the stables to get the horses. Let's finish this quickly..."

Suddenly, "Bang..." A gunshot rang out in the darkness, followed by a grenade exploding not far behind Wang Wei.

"Boom! Boom! Damn it, the Japanese sentries... Quick, take cover..."

Everyone found a place to hide, and then there was a commotion: "Baka...where are you shooting from?"

Upon hearing the news, the Japanese soldiers in the barracks rushed out to organize a counterattack. The one shouting the loudest was none other than Squad Leader Sasaki, who had indeed been demoted and reassigned.

"Damn it, the Japanese devils have spotted us..." Zhao Peng roared.

Wang Wei was in a sorry state; he had almost been killed by the Japanese soldiers. He crept up to Shangguan Yun and said, "Brother Shangguan, it's all my fault. I didn't figure out the enemy's defenses. What do we do now...?"

"It's alright, don't blame yourself. The Japanese are incredibly cunning, so it's understandable that they set up hidden sentries. Anyway, we've already entered the gate. The Japanese are just hastily organizing resistance; we'll just wipe them out."

Order the grenade launcher soldiers to assemble, give me three rounds of ammunition to the barracks and fortifications ahead, machine guns to suppress enemy fire, and squads to take turns providing cover while advancing..."

Five minutes later, "Boom boom..." Twelve grenade launchers fired three times in quick succession. That was no joke; the Japanese fortifications were immediately engulfed in flames.

The subsequent assault team, under the cover of powerful firepower, captured two barracks in no time. Upon hearing the news, the Japanese soldiers in two distant barracks hurriedly dressed, ran out of their barracks, and entered their fortifications to begin resistance.

However, due to the suddenness of the attack and lack of preparation, the assault team suppressed them in their fortifications with their firepower. Soon after, with two volleys of grenade launchers, the assault team was surrounded from both sides and quickly defeated.

The battle lasted less than an hour, and almost all the Japanese soldiers were wiped out. Sasaki and several wounded soldiers, seeing that the situation was hopeless, decisively plunged their bayonets into their hearts, shouting "Heavenly Emperor... Emperor of the Great Island Empire..." before dying.

A small squad of puppet troops was assigned to assist in the defense. Some of those who resisted were killed, while the other half, who were Wang Wei's confidants, went to help with the aftermath.

Because the battle ended quickly, the warhorses in the stables suffered almost no damage, and all of the more than 200 warhorses were captured.

Shangguan Yun nodded and smiled. What invincible, what locust army of the great island nation, nothing more than that.

"Everyone, hurry up, bring all the horses over, load up all the weapons and ammunition, and retreat..."

After a flurry of activity, an hour later, as dawn broke, the entire assault team mounted their horses, which were laden with all sorts of spoils. Shangguan Yun even put everything that was inconvenient to carry into his system space, because good things shouldn't be wasted.

Before leaving, Xu Wengang found Wang Wei and said, "Brother, why don't you come back to Songjiazhai with us? If you go back to Wulongkou now, the Japanese won't let you go..."

Wang Wei dusted himself off and smiled, "It's alright, I'll have a way to deal with it when I get back. My brother is still in the enemy camp, how can I run away alone? Don't worry about me, we'll all meet again soon. Please give my brother and my regards to Sister Zhu... Hurry up, the Japanese must have heard the gunfire, and reinforcements will probably be here soon..."

The group exchanged glances, clasped their hands in a fist salute, and said, "Take care...take care..."

Shangguan Yun and his companions then mounted their horses, took a detour through the mountain paths, and slowly retreated towards Songjia Village.

Watching the departing crowd, Wang Wei turned back and shouted, "Brothers, hurry up and light the fire! Make yourselves look as bad as possible! Regroup in 10 minutes..."

A dozen or so puppet soldiers scattered, and soon after, a huge fire shot up in the valley camp, engulfing all traces of the battle.

Wang Wei reached out, took off his hat, and threw it into the sea of ​​fire. He tore off a sleeve, grabbed a handful of blood, smeared it on his face, and turned to gather his men and head towards Wulongkou.

An hour later, Wang Wei led about a company of Japanese soldiers and a large number of auxiliary troops back. The Japanese company commander was furious. After raging for a long time, he turned around, brandished his sword, and shouted, "Clear the way..." before returning to Wulongkou by the same route.

At this time, Shangguan Yun had already entered the official road. After loading all the captured supplies onto the carts, all 180 men spurred their horses and galloped towards Songjia Village. They traveled at breakneck speed, riding with great joy.

"Haha... Boss, this job was so damn satisfying! Looks like we didn't miss breakfast..." Zhao Peng grinned broadly, his eyebrows dancing with excitement, as he followed Shangguan Yun.

Brother Ban caught up and said, "Boss, these cavalrymen are really good stuff. Can you leave some of these horses for our assault team? Haha..."

Seeing this, Xu Wengang objected, "Hey, hey... I'm telling you, Brother Ban, this was promised to our cavalry company by Brother Ba, what does it have to do with your assault team..."

"Haha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

Shangguan Yun smiled and said, "There are more than 200 warhorses here. The cavalry company should be equipped with 120 first, the remaining 30 should be left for the guard platoon, the remaining 30 should be left for the assault team, and there are still dozens of horses left to form a cavalry communications platoon and distribute them to various battalions. These treasures should be used sparingly, as they will be of great use next spring..." Everyone nodded in agreement.

Before long, the mountain gate came into view. Everyone was excited, and the soldiers were also extremely excited. The cavalry entered the village, and the people cheered and came to watch.

Shangguan Yun ordered Lao Huang and Li Mao, who were in charge of logistics, to settle the newly arrived warhorses. Then he gathered the command post, announced the establishment of the cavalry company, and allowed Xu Wengang to give priority to selecting soldiers from various battalions and new recruits, mainly those with good physical fitness.

Because the others who were educated or had special skills had already been selected by the air force and artillery air defense units.

Shangguan Yun gave the order, then returned to his room and quickly opened the system. "Hehe... Hong Ling... show me how much I reaped this time..."

"Ding dong... Congratulations, Master! Your current merit points are 2292 and merit points are 1830. In addition, you have captured 185 warhorses, which will reward you with 185 merit points. Your current merit points are 2292 and merit points are 2015. Now you have money and can buy a lot of production lines. Hehe..." Hong Ling was also very excited.

"No rush. I don't have many resources right now. Even if I buy a production line, I can't produce anything. I'll go to Haicheng and Zhuanghe in a couple of days to get some supplies for the New Year. Then I'll buy the production line."

"Scan me to see if there's been any major activity in Haicheng lately. I heard the Japanese are reinforcing their troops and transporting supplies along the railway line. Next year is probably going to be tough..."
