Looking at the group of bandits who had long lost their breath, Zhong Yu did not say anything. Since he had made a choice, he had to pay the price for it.
"My fellow villagers, although we have eliminated more than a hundred bandits in this battle, we still managed to let more than ten of them escape. In order to prevent the bandits from taking revenge, I will leave a company of soldiers here permanently!”
When they heard that the bandits might come back for revenge and that Zhong Yu was going to station his troops here, the discussion immediately broke out.
An old man who seemed to be of high moral standing walked out.
"Regiment Commander Zhong, this old man is Fu Qi, the Village Chief of Nanke Village. We all appreciate your intention to station troops here to protect Nanke Village, but the village is poor and truly cannot afford to raise an army.”
In this day and age, thieves passed like soldiers passing through a comb, not to mention that they were permanently stationed here. Knowing the villagers 'worries, Zhong Yu continued,
"I know what everyone is worried about. Don't worry, the troops will not be stationed in the village. We will find an empty space outside the village and set up camp. All soldiers are not allowed to enter the village without permission! Also, the damage to the houses caused by today's war will be compensated according to the price! In addition! I plan to set up a factory in Eyu Ridge and build a road that connects Eyu Ridge, Nanke Village, and Baisha County. Anyone who comes to work will be paid two yuan per month. I guarantee that they will eat meat every three days for two meals.”
The common sense that had been passed down from generation to generation could not be broken so easily. Seeing that the villagers were still a little anxious, Zhong Yu directly released a heavy bomb. This time, the crowd immediately became lively.
"Is it true? I heard that those who work in the big cities only earn three or four yuan a month. The police in the county only earn two yuan a month. If we work in a factory and repair the road, we can get 2 yuan? There's still meat to eat."
"I'll sign up! I'll sign up!"
Suddenly, the village guards who surrounded him could not stop him and almost pushed Zhong Yu off the wall.
"Sigh! Don't push, don't push! Who touched me!"
It was not easy for the crowd to calm down and arrange for the villagers to register.
"Ding! Congratulations, Commander. You have completed the random quest "Repelling the Bandits 'Attack". Based on the completion of the quest, the commander will be rewarded with three system lottery draws and 5000 military points.”
" Yo, I've completed the mission. I still have 2,000 military points from the three lottery draws. Adding the 1,000 military points from killing the bandits, I have more than 6,000 military points. I'm one step closer to upgrading the base. Not bad, not bad. Xiao Mei, I want to draw the lottery. By the way, I'm the only one who can see the big wheel, right?”
"Yes, Commander. Only you can see the lottery wheel!”
"Alright, I want to draw the lottery now."
The familiar round plate appeared before him again, but the prizes on the plate were different from the last time.
"Bobossa submachine gun, yo, this thing is not bad, MG42! What a good thing, the PAK-37 Anti-Defense Cannon. One shot for one Japanese tank, me262! Jet fighter. No one will drive it even if they draw it. The North Caroline class battleship…"
Zhong Yu reached out and moved the needle in the middle.
"Congratulations, Commander, for obtaining 40 Mauser C96 military pistols, 120 magazines, and 5000 7.63mm bullets.”
This was a good item. It solved the problem of the army not having a handgun. The officers also carried rifles, which was indeed not good looking.
Continue!
"Congratulations, Commander, for obtaining 20 MP28 submachine guns, 80 32-round magazines, and 4000 9mm pistol bullets.”
"Even without Bobosha, an mp28 is fine! Again!"
"Congratulations, Commander. You have received 6 Type 20 82mm mortars, equipped with 200 rounds of ammunition!”
"I finally won!"
Zhong Yu was extremely excited to get the 82-caliber mortar. This was the only cannon that Zhongxia had that could suppress the Rising Sun soldiers during the entire war.
Its range was more than 2,800 meters, and its weight was only 69 kilograms. The heaviest part was only 23 kilograms, and it could be carried by an ordinary soldier without any problem. It was extremely mobile! Compared to the Type-94 and Type-97 81mm mortars of the Rising Sun Empire, they were superior in terms of initial speed, firing rate, and range. Due to their excellent mobility, they could even contend with the Type-92 long-barreled artillery of the Rising Sun Empire. His troops finally had a long-range attack method.
……
In the Hall of Righteousness in the bandit stronghold of the Hairy Pig Ridge, Horse Face knelt on the ground and did not even dare to breathe loudly.
The person sitting on the top seat was Huang Xing, the head of the Hog Ridge. Because of the scar on his face, many people called him Scarface. Just from his appearance, one could tell that he was definitely a ruthless character.
He grabbed a teapot from the table and threw it at Horseface.
"Tell me, what happened? More than one hundred and twenty people went down the mountain, and only you escaped back with a dozen people. Why didn't you die outside? If you don't tell me honestly, don't blame me for not remembering our old friendship and lighting up the sky lantern for you as a sacrifice to our dead brothers!”
The teapot thrown by Huang Xing hit Horse Face's head, and the blood mixed with the hot tea splashed on Horse Face's face.
The horse did not dare to wipe its face, nor did it dare to cry out in pain. It could only let the blood flow continuously.
"Chief, we went to Nanke Village according to the plan. Unexpectedly, there were government troops in the village. We were caught off guard by the government troops 'sneak attack. The other party's reinforcements arrived, but they were outnumbered. Their numbers and equipment were not as good as the government troops. I could only lead the team to break out of the encirclement. In the end, only a dozen people survived.”
Horse-Face did not dare to say that his 100-man team could not take down more than 10 people for half a day and even caused heavy casualties.
"Bullshit! Sha County doesn't have the 152nd Division stationed there. The only security regiment was destroyed by us a few months ago!”
"Chief, I'm really not lying! They were really government troops and were even equipped with machine guns. However, their military uniforms were different from the 152nd Division's. They were wearing German military uniforms. The guns they used were all Mauser rifles!”
"German military uniform, Mauser rifle? Could it be Old Chang's Zhongyang Army? It didn't make sense. This was Qiongya, the territory of the Yue faction. It wasn't easy to send a troop to the actual control area of the warlords of other factions. Besides, what were they doing here?”
Huang Xing, who was sitting in the main seat, had a bright light in his eyes as he pondered what Horse Face had said.
"Men, bring the Second Head down to treat his injuries. San 'er, immediately send someone down the mountain to investigate the Nanke Village's army and the status of their personnel and equipment. Once you find out, report back immediately.”
"Yes, sir!"
After registering the personnel information and compensating the damaged houses, Zhong Yu informed the villagers that the factory was expected to be completed in seven days. He then led the guards back.
Why did he have to wait seven days? The main reason was that Zhong Yu wanted to give a seven-day buffer period. The construction of the factory could not be completed in an instant, right? The 1st Company would be stationed in Nanke Village from now on. However, after learning from this lesson, Zhong Yu would strengthen the firepower of all the troops sent out in the future to ensure that they could better preserve themselves and reduce losses in the absence of additional members or reinforcements. He had just left 10 of the 20 MP28 submachine guns for the 1st Company. As for the 82mm mortars, he had also left two and 100 rounds. As there was no specialized artillery, They could only rely on continuous live ammunition shooting to explore and train, so they kept more shells.
