Chapter 265 Equipment Problems
Hu Dacai was suddenly stunned.
"You mean, the equipment is not here, but somewhere else? That's unlikely. If the equipment is not here, the Military Control Commission cannot come here, right?"
"What if they're pawns, too?"
"Pawns?! They are the Military Control Commission, Boss Dai's men, how could they be pawns?!"
Hu Dacai widened his eyes in disbelief.
Yuan Shuai shook his head repeatedly.
"Ordinary people are not even qualified to be chess pieces. The people of the Military Control Commission are the best chess pieces!"
Hu Dacai looked at Yuan Shuai with confusion, not knowing what he meant.
Yuan Shuai continued to explain.
"The combat effectiveness of our Black Wolf Army is well known to both the Nationalist Army and the Japanese Army. In the Battle of Nanjing, the Nationalist Army will definitely hope that we can go over to support them. But they also hope that we can contain the Japanese troops and slow down their speed towards Nanjing. The best way to keep us here to contain the Japanese and reduce our strength is to keep us fighting the Japanese!"
"So, I think the equipment issue is most likely just a cover-up. Its purpose is to attract us to continuously launch attacks on the Japs in the enemy-occupied areas, thereby tying down the Japs' forces and slowing down their speed towards Nanjing. At the same time, we can use the Japs' hands to weaken the strength of our Black Wolf Army!"
"Similarly, the Japs will also be interested in the equipment and will leave troops to search for it, hoping to destroy us!"
"No way?! Boss Dai wouldn't cheat his own people, right? Although we are not members of the Military Control Commission, Fang Yongqing and the others are!"
Hu Dacai still had some doubts.
Marshal Yuan exhaled a long puff of smoke and said.
"If there really is equipment, the Nationalist Army will definitely send a large force to seize it. Even if they only send people from the Military Control Commission, it is impossible to send only such a small number of people!"
"That seems to make sense, but what if the equipment is in this area and we just haven't found it? What if the Japanese found it first?"
"Isn't that better? We don't have to go looking for it! This is enemy-occupied territory. The Japanese searched everywhere but couldn't find it. How can we find it? If we are found by the Japanese, it will save us a lot of time. Can't we use this time to train? If we are found by the Japanese, we can find a way to get it back!"
"Damn it, why didn't I think of this? This is a great idea!"
Hu Dacai immediately laughed happily.
Return to Linnan County.
Ouyang Tianqing saw that although Yuan Shuai did not bring back any equipment, he brought back so many field artillery and tanks. All the soldiers and civilians in the county were extremely happy.
After letting his brothers rest for a day, Yuan Shuai immediately asked them to start training in the snow.
At the same time, he also had someone build a double-board sled and taught his brothers how to ski.
Although the brothers had all ridden on sleds they made when they were young, this was the first time they had used a double-board sled.
When they first went up, almost everyone fell on their backs with their buttocks hurting.
But when they saw Yuan Shuai’s handsome moves, everyone got up and continued to learn.
In the woods outside the city, members of the Black Wolf Army were everywhere learning to ski on the snow.
Fang Yongqing originally wanted to find Yuan Shuai to discuss how to find the equipment.
But when he saw that Yuan Shuai and the others were all playing in the snow, he became so angry that his eyes were blazing with anger.
He rushed to Yuan Shuai and scolded him angrily.
"Brother Yuan Shuai, Nanjing has been occupied by the Japanese, and you still have the mood to play in the snow here!? You are a colonel, you should lead your men to fight the Japanese! Instead of skiing here like a child!"
Monkey and Fatty wanted to curse, but Yuan Shuai gave them a look and told them to continue learning how to ski.
Moreover, Yuan Shuai was not angry. Instead, he smiled, lit a cigarette and asked.
"How many devils did you kill?"
"At least thirty?"
Fang Yongqing raised his head and chest proudly.
Because he was a member of the Military Intelligence Bureau, he was only responsible for intelligence before and rarely fought the Japanese head-on. He occasionally killed some Japanese while collecting intelligence.
But killing thirty Japanese devils was already a lot for professional intelligence workers like them.
Yuan Shuai nodded silently.
"Yes, thirty is already very good. However, you can ask our brothers. Even the cooks have never killed less than thirty!"
"Blow you!"
Fang Yongqing's subordinates retorted unconvincedly.
"Whether I am bragging or not is not up to you to decide. If you don't believe me, you can go and investigate for yourself. We, the Black Wolf Army, fought our way through the Battle of Songhu! In war, you can't just shout and charge to kill the Japs. Even if you can rush in front of the Japs, if you don't have strong enough close combat skills, you will be stabbed to death by the Japs!"
"The reason why we were able to win so many battles, in addition to good tactics, is the individual combat capability of our soldiers! You who work in intelligence know better than me how good the Japs' weapons and equipment are. Our weapons and equipment are not as good as the Japs'. Our individual combat capability cannot keep up. How can we kill the Japs?"
"Besides, it's snowing so heavily now. After the previous battle, the Japanese will definitely strengthen their defenses. We have come a long way to fight, and the journey is long and the snow is too thick, which is quite disadvantageous for us! Although we have tanks and cannons now, don't forget that the Japanese tanks, cannons and numbers far exceed ours by several times! If you want to be a hero, I won't stop you!"
"..."
Fang Yongqing was so angry that he was speechless for a long time.
After a long while, he lit a cigarette, exhaled a long puff of smoke and spoke.
"But time is running out. If the equipment is discovered and taken away by the devils, the consequences will be disastrous. You and I can't afford it!"
"The equipment has been in the enemy's defense zone the whole time. The enemy hasn't found it for such a long time. How can we find it in such a short time with just a few of us? You are in the intelligence department. This kind of thing is what you should do. I am only responsible for fighting. You find the location. If I don't dispatch troops to fight the enemy and take the equipment, it will be my fault!"
Fang Yongqing's face turned red with embarrassment.
Although Yuan Shuai did not directly say it was his fault.
But he is an intelligence officer!
He doesn’t even know where the equipment is now, is there nothing wrong with that?
Fang Yongqing felt a burning pain on his face.
He gritted his teeth and said unconvincedly.
"Well, I will take people to Fengling Town to inquire about the situation now!"
"Don't be impatient! The Japanese have ninjas in Fengling City. Last time, you almost got wiped out. If you go there now, the Japanese are waiting for you! Even if you want to go there, you have to wait until the Japanese relax their guard!"
Hearing this, Fang Yongqing took a breath.
He acted on impulse just now, but if he had really gone there, he might have been caught by the Japanese.
He could only nod silently and let his people learn how to ski as well.
There's nothing to do when it snows, so just treat it as a holiday for my brothers.
The heavy snow has been falling for more than ten days.
It’s New Year’s Eve soon.
The county magistrate personally rode to the camp outside the city on horseback to invite Yuan Shuai to the county town for dinner and New Year's celebration, and he even brought his daughter along, fearing that Yuan Shuai would not give him face.
