A day passed quickly.
"Ding! Releasing the main mission: Destroy a Japanese squadron. The number of Japanese soldiers must exceed 100 and they must defend tenaciously.”
"Mission reward: promote military rank, reward 1,000 military merits, reward infantry grenade template.”
"Punishment: lower the rank of captain and reduce the number of soldiers to 150.”
Xia Tian was almost speechless. The rewards were not that great, but the punishments were rather harsh.
However, he was not worried at all. In the past day, he had already exchanged 2,000 Mauser 98K rifles through the template. On average, each person had two.
He also exchanged for 40 MG42 heavy machine guns with unlimited ammunition.
Such firepower was already heaven-defying for a reinforced battalion.
For example, the best Central Army in China in this era, a regiment with six heavy machine guns was already very impressive, and they had to save their bullets.
On the Japanese side, a squadron was equipped with two heavy machine guns, and a brigade only had ten heavy machine guns.
Not to mention the eighth route, they were happy to be able to use the things they seized from the Japanese.
Xia Tian immediately called Natasha and Zhang Hu over to study the surrounding terrain.
In fact, the area around Wenshui County was full of Japanese and puppet strongholds.
There would be one every ten miles.
However, these strongholds were too small, and the number of people was usually around an infantry platoon.
They studied for half a day and finally decided to attack the Yao family village fortress 50 miles away from Wenshui County.
This bunker was a command post set up by the devils. It could command all the strongholds within a 60-mile radius.
According to the intelligence, there was at least a squadron of Japanese soldiers stationed inside, with more than 170 people.
There were also two companies of puppet soldiers, totaling more than four hundred people.
"My soldiers said that this devil from Yao Village is very arrogant." Zhang Hu snorted. All the girls in the village had been played by them. Now, they were going around to catch young ladies. More than a dozen nearby villages had been harmed by them.”
Xia Tian laughed coldly." This is the place then. We'll attack Yao Village."”
"Yes, sir!" "I'll go gather the troops now. We can set off at any time." Zhang Hu shouted.”
" Sir," Natasha said," we will pass through four Japanese strongholds on the way to Yaojia Village. Wouldn't we alert the enemy if we go there with such a big fanfare?”
Xia Tian patted his head and laughed." You're so thoughtful. What if they run away?!" How about this, I'll write a letter, and Zhang Hu, you send someone to send it to Yao Village.”
"Sir, what's the point of sending a letter?" Zhang Hu was confused.”
Xia Tian smiled." Of course, we're telling the Japanese to get ready. It's best if they reinforce the bunker. We're going to take care of them tonight."”
Zhang Hu and Natasha were both dumbfounded. A war was won by surprise attacks. How could they inform the Japanese to be on guard before the war started?
Xia Tian frowned when he saw that Zhang Hu was not moving.""What, you want to disobey orders?"
Zhang Hu broke out in a cold sweat.
Even though Zhang Hu was a veteran who had been through a pile of corpses, he was still afraid of Xia Tian's gaze.
With just one glance, he felt like he couldn't breathe.
"Zhang Hu wouldn't dare. Even if the officer wanted me to die, I wouldn't blink!”Zhang Hu roared.
Xia Tian nodded and wrote a letter to Zhang Hu, instructing him to deliver the letter to the Japanese in an earth-shattering manner. He was not allowed to slip the letter away sneakily.
Zhang Hu took the letter and left. As it was Xia Tian's order, he personally brought two skilled subordinates and dressed up as commoners to Yao Village.
It was noon when they arrived at Yaojia Village. Smoke was rising from the Japanese's bunker.
"Vice Battalion Commander, how are we going to deliver the letter?”one of his subordinates asked.
Zhang Hu said coldly," Going in is suicide. We'll just find a few Japanese and kill them. Then, we'll throw the letter on them."”
Another subordinate complained," Our commander is a child after all. How could he inform the Japanese before the war? Isn't he leading us to our deaths?"”
Zhang Hu pulled out his gun and pointed it at his chin, scaring the man so much that he almost peed his pants.
"I'm warning you once. If you dare to doubt or question your superior again, kill him without mercy!" Zhang Hu glared at him fiercely.”
Zhang Hu had been loyal ever since he was rescued from the prisoner of war camp by Xia Tian. Coupled with the authority that the system gave Xia Tian, Zhang Hu was completely impressed and loyal to him.
Anyone who dared to say Xia Tian's words would be Zhang Hu's enemy.
The two soldiers were so frightened that they hurriedly nodded, indicating that they would not dare to do it again.
At this moment, two puppet soldiers accompanied two Japanese soldiers out of the stronghold and swaggered into the village.
Looking at their faces, Zhang Hu guessed that they must be up to no good.
"It's them." Zhang Hu waved his hand and led two of his men to ambush the four enemies.
When they got close, the three of them rushed out and cut the throats of the three enemies with their daggers.
The remaining Japanese soldier was so scared that he sat on the ground. Zhang Hu kicked him in the face and then his knee hit his neck.
The ghost did not even make a sound. He spat out a mouthful of blood and stopped moving.
"Take down their grenades.”Zhang Hu whispered.
The three of them immediately took the grenade from the Japanese, opened the safety, and slammed it on the Japanese's head. Then, they threw it directly into the Japanese stronghold.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
A few walking Japanese soldiers in the stronghold were blown to pieces, scaring all the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the stronghold into running out with guns.
"Where did the explosion happen on Bageya Road?”A senior captain of the Japanese soldiers ran out with a military knife in his hand.
A squad leader immediately rushed forward and handed him a letter."Sir, four of our men were assassinated. They left a letter.”
"Read!" The senior captain roared.
After the squad leader opened it, he read the words with great difficulty."Listen up, Yao villagers. I'm Xia Tian, and I'll raid your hideout tonight. Hurry up and reinforce the fortress. Remember to resist tenaciously. I don't want to win too easily.”
"Baka!" The senior captain grabbed the letter and tore it into pieces."Who is this summer? He's too arrogant!"
