Chapter 101 Gasoline
It is eight o'clock in the morning. The morning sun shines obliquely on the bamboo forest. The sunlight shines through the bamboo forest, making the ground mottled.
Su Jun didn't expect Liu Zhengfeng to analyze the matter so clearly. After all, he still owed him a favor.
"Brother, if my guess is correct, these devils are coming for you. Why? Why are they chasing you?"
Liu Zhengfeng laughed and said, "Sir, we killed their people and robbed their car, so it's not surprising that they are chasing us."
"I'm curious, you're ambushing the devils here, aren't you just passing by?"
Su Jun smiled and shook his head, looked up at the sky, his face gradually becoming bitter.
"We were defeated in Dabie Mountains not long ago. We abandoned our weapons and weapons and wandered here like wandering ghosts. We gradually gathered more than a hundred people. The more we thought about it, the more we were unwilling to accept it. We want to pick up the face we lost in Dabie Mountains here."
As the Soviet army spoke, he clenched his fists, with an unwilling look in his eyes.
"To be honest, we brothers were originally staying here for the night. We were first awakened by your truck at dawn. After discussing it, we all agreed to launch an ambush here. But somehow, it turned out to be like this."
Liu Zhengfeng was silent. So that's how it was. If it weren't for them, he wouldn't know how to deal with so many Japanese devils. On the other hand, he also saved their lives. In short, it was a coincidence that everyone helped each other.
"So that's how it is, what are you going to do next?"
Su Jun said: "We are going to Xuzhou. Two days ago, we met someone from the Military Control Commission's Yangzhou Station. He told us that our troops are in Xuzhou and are fighting guerrilla warfare with the enemy."
Liu Zhengfeng frowned and said, "Xuzhou is more than 200 kilometers away from here. Do you want to walk there?"
Su Jun smiled and said, "We did think so, but now that I see you, I have changed my mind. Aren't there two large trucks outside the bamboo forest? The Japanese have sent them to our door. If we refuse them, we will be sorry for them."
The two suddenly laughed at each other.
Liu Zhengfeng said: "The Japanese are now stretched out along a long front line, and their military strength is stretched to the limit. In the areas they occupy, their military strength is the most empty and weakest. We can take advantage of this and do something shocking."
"But we can't be careless. The Japanese can gather troops in big cities at any time to wipe us out. In addition, they are also recruiting traitors and running dogs to form an imperial army to help them do evil. We have to be on guard."
The Soviet army nodded and said, "You make sense. We do this. If there is a car, we take it. If we have no choice, we can also abandon the car and walk instead."
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Yes, whether we take a car or walk depends on the Japanese. It depends on whether they are capable. However, there is also a very tricky problem now. We need to have enough gasoline to get the car moving."
Su Jun pondered and said, "There is a small town a few kilometers ahead called Taiping Town. We might as well try our luck there."
Liu Zhengfeng frowned and asked, "Are there any Japanese soldiers guarding Taiping Town?"
The Soviet Army shook his head: "Not sure."
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and said, "Then we don't need to think about it here, we will know after we go and take a look."
The Soviet army suddenly asked: "Where are you going? Why don't you join us and join the Nationalist army in Xuzhou?"
Liu Zhengfeng smiled slightly: "Sir, I won't hide it from you. We have made our own plans. We are going to Shandong."
The Soviet army expected that Liu Zhengfeng was not an ordinary person and did not force him.
"Everyone has their own aspirations. I won't force you. If you go to Shandong, we'll be on the same path. Let's take care of each other."
Liu Zhengfeng smiled and nodded.
After the two of them had discussed it, they started to take action.
At this time, the results of the battle were also counted. In this battle, 52 Japanese soldiers were killed, and two grenade launchers, one heavy machine gun, more than 40 Type 38 rifles, and a number of bullets were seized.
The Soviet troops suffered 65 casualties and 8 minor injuries.
This result is relatively good and can be considered a victory.
There were now a total of 43 Soviet soldiers, including the lightly wounded, riding in two large trucks. They worked together to move the broken bamboos at the intersection of the bamboo forest to the side to allow the large trucks to pass.
The car's engine roared, and everyone set off towards Taiping Town.
Half an hour later, everyone arrived at Taiping Town. Upon asking, they learned that there were two Japanese soldiers guarding Taiping Town, located in the original town office of the National Government.
When Liu Zhengfeng heard this, he felt angry and amused. Before he traveled through time, he often heard people say that after the Japanese soldiers occupied a local county town, sometimes only three or five people were stationed there to suppress everyone. He didn't expect to see it with his own eyes today.
The crowd did not intend to cause trouble, they were out looking for gasoline. In that era, gasoline was an absolutely scarce commodity. If there was only one place in the town where gasoline could be found, it would definitely be where there were Japanese.
Everyone went to the town office together, only to see that the door was closed. Everyone was wondering, when suddenly there was a gunshot, and a Kuomintang soldier was hit in the left shoulder by a bullet.
Everyone was shocked and quickly dispersed and hid. The town office was an old two-story house with a yard in front.
Two Japanese soldiers were seen pointing their guns at everyone through a window on the second floor. There was a hint of panic on their faces. Although they were arrogant and looked down on the Chinese at that time, they would be shocked if they were not afraid to face so many enemies at once.
"Get out of here, get out of here quickly, you're going to die..."
Liu Zhengfeng sneered, quickly loaded the bullet into the gun, and gently pulled the trigger. A Japanese soldier was shot in the head and fell backwards. Another Japanese soldier screamed in fear and quickly left the window.
"Good marksmanship."
The Soviet army praised and waved his hand. The national army worked together to break open the door and rushed towards the town office building.
Liu Zhengfeng stared at the window and did not follow the crowd into the town hall . After a while, he heard the Japanese soldiers shouting. Then after a few gunshots, the Japanese soldiers became silent.
Liu Zhengfeng knew that the Japanese soldiers must have been shot to death, so he walked into the town office with the Soviet army.
"Report, Battalion Commander, there is a small warehouse here with half a barrel of gasoline."
Platoon leader Tie said happily, and then ordered the soldiers to move the gasoline out.
Liu Zhengfeng and Su Jun smiled at each other. They were about to turn around and leave when suddenly the phone in the office on the first floor rang.
Su Jun didn't care, but was surprised to find that Liu Zhengfeng actually walked over and picked up the microphone.
