Chapter 151 1 Road to the East
Cui Minsheng knew very well that this was no small matter.
If handled properly, it will strengthen the cohesion of our team, and the strengthening will be significant.
But if it is not handled properly, the soldiers below will become alienated from us, and recruiting soldiers in the future will become a problem.
So Zhang Maozi requested to solve the matter personally. Chief of Staff Cui not only did not stop him, but also ordered the nearby troops to prepare for battle. If the Japanese turned against us, we really would not be afraid.
Don't underestimate Zhang Maozi's squadron of 400 people. According to the deductions made by the staff officers of the General Staff, if they bring all the equipment, even if the Japanese send out their own people, it will take at least three to four times the number of troops to trap us.
The people stationed at the police station at the railway station were not newly recruited security guards. They had all experienced battles and were the ones who initially followed Li Shaoyi. They were extremely combat-ready.
What's more, our reconnaissance troops have not been idle either. They have already clearly understood the combat effectiveness of the Japanese army and the devils in North China. Even if we enter their occupied areas and a real fight breaks out, these people will not be our opponents.
So after a brief consideration, the chief of staff agreed to Zhang Maozi's request and reported the situation here to Li Shaoyi who had left Hebei Province.
If it were the 21st century, Li Shaoyi would have already reached Jinling after ten hours or so, or even a round trip would be enough.
However, the speed of trains in this era was really too slow. They could reach 40 kilometers per hour, which was already considered an express train. In addition, they had to stop along the way to refuel with water and coal, so the actual speed was only 30 kilometers per hour. It was not an exaggeration to call it an old car.
So at this moment Li Shaoyi had just entered the northern part of Ludong Province.
After receiving the telegram from Chief of Staff Cui, this guy did not give any instructions. Just follow the Chief of Staff's orders, as if nothing had happened in the car.
If these people in the city government knew about this, I'm afraid this would be something that cannot be done. But in Li Shaoyi's opinion, what Zhang Maozi did had to be encouraged. The fathers of his soldiers were beaten like that. If we don't react at all, how can we survive in this area in the future?
Do you still want to keep your reputation?
After obtaining Li Shaoyi's tacit approval, Zhang Maozi's men set off immediately.
Four hundred people were transported in seven heavy armored reconnaissance vehicles and six light armored vehicles.
Twelve jeeps and more than twenty trucks marched towards Tangzhou in a mighty force.
There were also eight three-wheeled sidecars and more than a dozen two-wheeled motorcycles responsible for reconnaissance in front and behind.
Motorization has not been achieved in European and American countries, but Li Shaoyi has now exceeded the target. Anyway, no soldiers have to run away. There are eight scouts riding horses, and they brought them because they were afraid that motorcycles could not pass through some places on the road. Otherwise, they would not even bring this.
There are also complete sets of light and heavy weapons. There is also a 105mm howitzer hanging on the back of the truck. This thing is not as useful as the 120mm mortar, but it is still a heavy artillery, and it is very prestigious in the eyes of the Japanese.
Other European and American countries do not consider 105mm artillery as heavy artillery, but for a small country like Japan, 105mm howitzers are definitely heavy artillery. This time they mounted eight of them, but this is not what Zhang Maozi values most. What he values most are the twelve 120mm heavy mortars on the vehicle.
Of course, according to what the Chief of Staff said, the Japanese should not dare to attack us, but we must be fully prepared. If the Japanese do not hand over the people, or dare to attack us, don't blame us for being rude.
According to what our commander-in-chief said, what's the big deal about signing the agreement, not to mention that you were the first to breach the contract this time. The agreement clearly states that you must ensure the safety of all our personnel and their families. Now our soldier's father has been beaten by you and cannot get out of bed, so we have to capture all the soldiers who beat him, which is also to comply with the agreement.
Along the way, whether it was the soldiers of the 29th Army or Li Shaoyi's men, they were all given the green light to pass. After the brothers from other police stations learned about this, they prepared meals along the way and put them directly in the car for Zhang Maozi and his men to eat when they passed by.
Without the chief of staff's order, these people cannot go along to cheer, but it is no problem to provide them with some food.
The Chief of Staff has already issued an order that all troops are in a second-level combat readiness state. If Zhang Maozi requests assistance, all troops must be on the road as soon as possible. Any delay will result in military action.
Even though we have the sign of a police station, we are actually a real army.
The first to discover this army were the defenders of Tianyu County.
After the last ceasefire, only the Japanese army was left in the front-line area, and all the Japanese soldiers withdrew to Tianjin. This was because they were afraid that Li Shaoyi would suddenly change his mind and wipe out all these Japanese troops. Therefore, the defense line formed by the Japanese headquarters now has little combat effectiveness.
The Japanese army originally wanted to ask some questions, but Zhang Maozi fired a volley of bullets and hundreds of Japanese soldiers obediently evacuated the roadblocks and didn't even dare to show their heads on both sides. Look at this group of people, they are so murderous. If you dare to say a word, they might beat the shit out of you.
"Get out of here, get out of here, we're taking over here."
After the large group of people in front passed, the people from the Sanhe County Security Corps rushed over. They took over the checkpoints on the road. If Zhang Maozi and his men were surrounded, we could pass through quickly. Although the combat effectiveness of these traitors was not very good, we could not waste time.
"Sir, we can turn a blind eye if you pass through our area, but if we give you the checkpoint, I won't be able to report to the higher-ups."
A Japanese company commander was holding a cigarette and wanted to offer one to the people of the Sanhe County Security Corps.
"Then can you explain this?"
The team leader of the security team took the cigarette and patted the heavy armored vehicle behind him. The machine guns and 20mm cannons on it looked like ferocious beasts. Can you explain this?
"Then can we be there too? We promise not to get involved and will provide the brothers with good cigarettes and good drinks."
The Japanese company commander swallowed his saliva. Of course, he couldn't explain the heavy armored vehicle, but they couldn't evacuate the checkpoint either. That would be like losing the position, and they would be shot when they returned...
