Behind the Japanese devils' blockhouse.
Qin Yangming was fiddling with a large truck he had just discovered.
Looking at the large amount of supplies loaded onto the truck.
It should be the Japanese devils sending supplies to the various blockhouses outside.
And as soon as the truck arrived at this blockhouse, Qin Yangming brought his men over.
The remaining supplies would all be theirs.
"My mule and horse team was just taken by Li Yunlong.
I was worrying about how to bring those spoils of war back to the base area, the Japanese devils really considered me."
Looking at the truck, Qin Yangming directly ordered the soldiers to carry all the spoils of war onto the truck.
Now there were roads at his garrison that could take the truck directly into the village.
So there was no need to burn them like before.
There were many supplies in the blockhouse, plus Qin Yangming even took the clothes off the Japanese devils.
They didn't even let the wires and other things in the blockhouse go.
All the items combined filled the truck.
The squad leader of First Squad, following the method Qin Yangming taught them, set up a large number of booby traps in the blockhouse.
Then he led the soldiers of First Squad to quickly pursue Qin Yangming and the others who were leaving.
Less than ten minutes after the soldiers of First Squad had just left.
The roar of the truck's engine sounded outside the blockhouse.
A truck loaded with Japanese infantrymen, accompanied by a team of puppet troops, arrived in front of the blockhouse.
"Killed four Japanese infantrymen, gained forty points."
"Killed two Japanese sergeants, gained forty points."
"Killed one Japanese second lieutenant officer, gained one hundred points."
"The host currently has one hundred and eighty points."
Qin Yangming, who was driving the truck, looked at the system's prompt.
He also knew that the Japanese devils had triggered the traps.
The previously empty points balance instantly gained one hundred and eighty points.
"Company Commander, these are the things we captured this time when we went out to attack the blockhouse."
"Twenty Zhongzheng rifles,
Twelve Type 38 rifles,
Twenty-two Shanxi-made Type 65 rifles （ imitation Type 38 rifles ）;
Two ZB vz. 26 light machine guns,
Three Type 11 light machine guns,
One Shanxi-made Type 65 version ZB vz. 26 light machine gun;
One Type 92 heavy machine gun,
One grenade launcher;
Six Type 94 Nambu pistols,
Two imitation Mauser C96 pistols （ imitation Mauser C96 ）, with a caliber of 11.43mm.
In terms of ammunition, the most captured were 6.5mm caliber bullets,
but I found two types of bullets with different qualities, I don't know why.
There are two thousand one hundred and twenty-three 6.5mm caliber bullets of slightly poorer quality,
and two thousand three hundred and twenty-eight of slightly better quality,
and nine hundred reduced-charge bullets for the Type 11 light machine gun,
over six hundred 7.7mm caliber heavy machine gun bullets,
three thousand 7.9mm pointed bullets,
and additionally sixty-seven hand grenades,
one hundred and twenty-eight grenades,
and sixty small grenades."
"The 6.5mm bullets should be those produced by the Japanese devils themselves and those previously produced by Yan Laoxi.
So the quality is somewhat different.
It seems that most of the puppet troops here are former Jin-Sui Army."
Listening to Sun Zhigang's report, Qin Yangming analyzed.
They were currently located in the Jinzhong Region.
It was Yan Laoxi's main territory before.
After Yan Laoxi's defeat.
Many Jin-Sui Army soldiers surrendered to the Japanese devils in organized units and became traitors.
Therefore, it was normal for the puppet troops to possess a lot of Jin-Sui Army weapons and equipment.
"The Political Commissar said he wanted to send a political instructor to our company,
has the political instructor arrived?"
"Not yet, no news has been received."
"If that's the case, then you, Old Sun, will be responsible for recruiting new soldiers first."
"First recruit one hundred new soldiers, I will take care of the weapons."
Seeing Qin Yangming casually propose recruiting one hundred new soldiers, Sun Zhigang quickly spoke.
"Company Commander, that won't work.
Let alone recruiting a hundred new soldiers,
even recruiting ten new soldiers is impossible."
Seeing Qin Yangming's puzzled expression.
Sun Zhigang quickly explained.
"Company Commander, our New First Regiment's base area occupies only five villages.
All the men who could be recruited from these five villages have already been recruited by the Regiment Commander.
If we recruit more new soldiers, it will seriously affect the normal lives of the common people.
So if we want to recruit new soldiers,
we either have to break through the blockade line and recruit from other townships,
or we have to capture prisoners and recruit from the puppet troops."
"Recruit from the puppet troops?"
Listening to Sun Zhigang's suggestion, Qin Yangming also began to ponder.
He hadn't thought about recruiting new soldiers from the puppet troops at first.
But he had tried it when he was in Duanjia'ao.
As a result, the puppet troops said they would cooperate at first.
But in the blink of an eye, they ran away.
In the end, they ran off to become puppet troops again, and even led the Japanese devils to attack them.
"Company Commander, the puppet troops in the Jinzhong Region are different from those in Eastern Shanxi.
The puppet troops there mainly came from that side of Hebei,
and they are basically die-hard elements.
But many of the puppet troops here are former Jin-Sui Army,
many of them did not intend to be traitors,
most of them were coerced."
"There is another way, which is for us to dispatch people back to Duanjia'ao,
and recruit another batch of new soldiers from there."
"This method is feasible, we can send someone to contact Captain Luo.
But there aren't many new soldiers that can be recruited from Duanjia'ao,
the county Battalion and district squad there also need personnel.
We still need to find a way to recruit new soldiers from other nearby townships.
Do you have a map of the surrounding area?"
Sun Zhigang shook his head.
"Company Commander, where would we have a map of this place?
The Regiment Commander should have one."
"Forget it, don't even think about the map at the Regiment Commander's place, it's too crude."
"It seems we still have to go to the county town to take a look."
Thinking of the map, Qin Yangming thought of the Japanese headquarters in Linyuan County town near the base area.
Because there were several Eighth Route Army base areas next to Linyuan County.
So the Japanese devils in Linyuan County town were not like ordinary county towns with only one company.
Instead, there was a whole battalion.
And the captain of a Japanese infantry battalion was usually a Major rank.
According to intelligence from the Eighth Route Army.
The highest commander of the Japanese devils in Linyuan County town was indeed a Major, named Nakamura Saho.
Thinking of this Japanese Major, Qin Yangming seemed to see his Level 4 heavy weapons exchange list beckoning to him.
In order to unlock the Level 4 heavy weapons exchange list, and at the same time to obtain a precision military map.
Qin Yangming had the idea of going to the Japanese headquarters.
"Old Sun, you continue to train the men with the heavy equipment.
I have already submitted your proposal to be Deputy Company Commander to the Regiment Commander.
There should be a response tonight.
I will take some men out to check the situation around here."
After speaking, Qin Yangming left without looking back.
Before Sun Zhigang could say anything, he saw Qin Yangming quickly leave the company headquarters.
After leaving, Qin Yangming immediately called Wang Erniu and ran towards Linyuan County town.
The reason he asked Wang Erniu to go with him was mainly because the system told him that people created by the system would remain absolutely loyal to him.
Also, Wang Erniu's physical fitness and combat proficiency were at the level of a top scout from his era.
With Wang Erniu's assistance, Qin Yangming had a greater chance of entering the Japanese headquarters in the county town.
