I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 497 What kind of person is Xia the translator?

So the brigade chief was also confused. How should he deal with so many weapons and equipment?

The deputy commander-in-chief also said that there were many troops involved this time.

Therefore, they don't need to hand over the spoils to the headquarters for redistribution, but let the participating troops divide them among themselves.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief: I didn't know you were so powerful. You have captured so much equipment.

The Japanese strongholds were too fragile, and they did not have time to destroy their ammunition reserves, so they were all lost to the Eighth Route Army.

On the fifth day of the raid, the troops from Hebei and Shanxi finally reported their spoils.

Looking at the results of each battle report, the number of captured equipment is quite large.

It seemed like there was an extra zero than they had expected.

The deputy commander-in-chief expressed his congratulations to the officers and soldiers at the front for their victory.

Then he looked at the Deputy Chief of General Staff without saying a word, then went out to get some fresh air with his hands behind his back.

The leaders in the headquarters looked at each other, not understanding what he meant.

Suddenly, the Deputy Chief of General Staff slapped his forehead, as if he understood something.

He looked at the political commissar of a certain division with a smile and said, "The Japanese are becoming increasingly rampant, and the war of resistance has entered a stalemate stage.

The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei bases achieved great victories in this battle.

Our bases in Henan, Shandong and other places are still waging arduous struggles against the enemy.

We should not ignore those comrades just because we have achieved victory. They are also short of ammunition."

The commander of a certain division laughed and said, "We have seized quite a lot of loot this time, if only they had kept it all.

If no one uses it, it will probably just be put in a warehouse and collect dust.”

The deputy chief of staff said: "But the headquarters has already said that all the captured items belong to the combat units.

We can’t let the leader of our Eighth Route Army go back on his word!”

A certain divisional political commissar: Why are you all looking at me? It seems that I am the bad guy again this time.

"The division commander is right. It is ridiculous to leave so many weapons and ammunition in the ammunition depot and let them gather dust.

We are all revolutionary comrades. We cannot let some of us get too fat or some get too thin.

I suggest that the troops participating in the raid give away a portion of the spoils captured from the Japanese.

Go support our troops in Shandong and Henan. After all, they are far away from the headquarters, and their weapons and ammunition are all dependent on captured weapons. "

Then, one commendation letter after another was sent out, along with another one.

It is a call for everyone to support weapons and ammunition for the bases in Shandong and Henan.

Now the groups below are very generous and have responded to the call from the headquarters.

In the past they were stingy and liked to rob and seize goods, that was because they were really poor!

Even a broken bayonet was treated as a valuable treasure and they were reluctant to throw it away.

It’s different now. Every group of them is extremely rich.

To paraphrase what Li Yunlong said back then, in less than three days, we had the Type 92 rifle.

Some regiments even had two more Type 92 infantry guns.

They had no vehicles, gasoline, or pack horses, and they had too many Type 92 infantry guns to use.

Another reason is that there are no roads for transporting large artillery.

Because basically all the roads in the base were dug by our own people.

They also captured mountain cannons and field cannons, and at most kept one as the treasure of their regiment.

Everything else was in order, waiting for the headquarters (the guerrilla division's transport team) to send someone to take over.

In this way, we took advantage of the opportunity when the Japanese retreated to their defense line and dared not go out.

They sent truckloads of weapons and ammunition through the war zone in Henan to the revolutionary anti-Japanese base in Shandong.

As the heroes who captured the Huting stronghold, they were all taken to Liulang Temple.

They are Battalion Commander Zhang, Company Commander Ma, Big Guy Zhang, and our translator Xia.

They were all waiting outside the command center, and Sun Desheng went in first to report on the progress of the Huting battle.

"Commander Song, Brigade Commander, this time we were able to capture the Huquan stronghold, and Captain Ma should be credited with the first achievement.

It was he who fired the first shot, killing the Japanese squad leader Watanabe.

Then there was the translator Xia, who killed six Japanese soldiers by himself during the battle at the wall.

It was also he who ordered the Imperial Army to raise the white flag to notify us of surrender.

He also arranged for people to lower those suspension bridges, allowing our cavalry to enter the stronghold without any hindrance.

He also used sandbags on the wall to set up a heavy machine gun position.

The commander of the Imperial Army who came to kill people and seize power, as well as more than fifty die-hard traitors, were beaten to death on the wall.

Their battalion commander Zhang is also good and a good trainer.

He also took the initiative to go to the gate of the Imperial Army's camp to persuade the troops inside to surrender.

I didn’t expect that the Captain Su inside was a die-hard traitor.

Not only did he order a surprise attack, he also injured Captain Zhang.

He also ordered his men to shoot translator Xia in the back.

The situation was very dangerous at that time, and the bullet broke his head.

If that bullet had hit half a centimeter lower, the top of his head would have been blown open by the bullet.

Later, in the military camp, a machine gunner named Zhang Da Ge suddenly appeared.

It was he who used a machine gun to kill Captain Su and several of his trusted men.

Finally, under the threat of the big guy Zhang and the machine gun in his hand.

The Imperial Army soldiers in the barracks came out to surrender.

When cleaning up the battlefield for the final time, Translator Xia and Captain Zhang and their men also worked very hard.

After they failed to persuade the Japanese to surrender, Translator Xia led the Imperial Army and threw two rounds of grenades into the trench.

Then Captain Zhang and Ma Laosan led their men down the trench and wiped out the last of the Japanese soldiers. "

Song Wenwan smiled and said, "From what you said, it seems that this translator Xia has caught your eye."

Sun Desheng said: "This translator Xia performed well in the battle.

It can be said that he is a brave and resourceful man, and his tactical arrangements are also very layered.

I can see that this guy's shooting skills are not as good as a rookie.

But when he shot the Japanese, he was not ambiguous at all.

Killing six Japanese soldiers with a Mauser pistol at close range means that he is either a natural fighter or has an immense hatred for the Japanese soldiers. "

After listening to this, the brigade commander also became interested in translator Xia.

He asked, "Captain Sun, according to you, what kind of person is he?"

Sun Desheng said: "You are too polite, Commander of the Brigade. From now on, just call me Xiao Sun.

The impression given to me by this translator Xia is that he is a natural born warrior.

How does our Commander Song describe this kind of person in normal times? Oh, yes, I remember now.

I think Translator Xia is a military talent who was buried by the skill of translation.

but……"

Song Wenwan asked, "But tell me what it is. You have been in Gannan for several years, how come you are still keeping people in suspense?"

Sun Desheng said: "When we were attacking the Imperial Army camp, I saw a detail.

After he was ambushed, the military cap that one of our cavalry soldiers gave him was knocked off.

He fell in a pool of blood, still trembling, and asked someone to help him get his hat back and put it on.

We thought he was going to die at that time, and we felt sad for him.

He also has a better understanding of our army's prisoner policy.

If the Japanese soldiers in the trenches had not refused to surrender and were throwing grenades outside, he would never have violated the discipline. "
