Chapter 8: Random Adaptation Changes the Situation of War

  "Halt! Which part?" Seeing Murong Wudi and Zhao Changyou arrive at the front of the formation, two soldiers on sentry duty immediately raised their guns, cocked them, and one of them asked.

  It was probably because they saw Mu Rong Wu Di wearing a lieutenant colonel's uniform and Zhao Chang You, who was following him, wearing a first lieutenant's uniform. They looked like their own people, so they didn't open fire immediately. Otherwise, according to the regulations of the garrison management, these soldiers had the right to shoot and kill them for no reason.

  "I am Murong Wude, I have come to see your commander, quickly go and inform him for me, or else you will be held responsible for delaying important matters!"

  He knew well that as a lieutenant colonel, it was only natural to meet with their regimental commander. If they dared to be slow in reporting this matter, it would be tantamount to looking for trouble for themselves. Therefore, she was certain that these guys would definitely report to the higher-ups according to his wishes.

  "You stay here and watch, I'll go report to the chief of staff!" A soldier carefully sized up Mu Rong Wude's uniform, although he hadn't heard any introduction from Mu Rong Wude or anyone around him, he didn't know what kind of background Mu Rong Wude had, but since they were looking for the battalion commander and there was a lieutenant colonel rank on his collar, if he didn't report it and something big happened, the battalion commander would blame him and he wouldn't be able to escape responsibility. So under duress, he could only let the soldier next to him keep watch while he quickly went inside to report to the chief of staff. After all, whether this matter could be directly told to the battalion commander or not was up to the chief of staff to decide, none of them had the authority to make decisions.

  Less than a minute after the soldier went in, the chief of staff walked out of the command center. When he arrived in front of Murong Wudi and Zhao Changyou, the soldier immediately saluted Murong Wudi and introduced him, saying: "Sir, this is our Chief of Staff. Is there anything you'd like to discuss with him directly?"

  "My name is Jiang Butao, I am the Major and Chief of Staff of the 317th Brigade. Which unit are you from? Why do you want to see our brigade commander?" The chief of staff looked up and down at Murong Wudi, then asked him a series of questions. Probably because he saw that Murong Wudi's attire didn't reveal any malicious intentions, but rather because he was suspicious of Murong Wudi's sudden visit. There were no other units around here, otherwise they wouldn't have been stationed in Cuijia Village.

  "I am Murong Wudi, the commander of the Yunyangshan Anti-Japanese Column, and I have come to discuss with your battalion commander the joint defense of this unnamed pass! Murong Wudi was not modest at all, directly stating that he was building an anti-Japanese column here, although for now he only had a few thousand bandit troops plus less than one regular company, but in his opinion, these were enough to prevent their column from losing face in front of the 317th Regiment."

  "How come I've never heard of this unit number? Are you from the ** series?" Jiang's chief of staff seemed to be confused, looking at Murong Wuji's military uniform, which was obviously a combat unit. If it was a combat unit, he should have heard of the unit number, let alone the unit number of the column. With so many people and guns, how could he not know? But now, Murong Wuji said this unit number, he really had no impression at all, so his doubts grew even more.

  "Not...". Murong Wudei was very sure of his position. When he established this corps, he just wanted to deal with the devils himself and didn't want to get entangled in any relationship with any party.

  "Whose troops are those?" Although Jiang Nuo knew the possibility was small, because the other side was clearly wearing military uniforms and claiming to be a certain party's troops was somewhat incomprehensible. But since they directly refused to acknowledge being part of the Nationalist Party's combat sequence, his instinctive first reaction was that they were Communist troops, because in China only these two parties' armies had such a large scale.

  "It's not that either..." Murong Wudei knew that the Communist Party would eventually take over, but for now, he didn't want to get involved with them. After all, this was a sensitive period when the Nationalist and Communist parties were cooperating. He didn't want to stir up trouble on both sides, only wanting to rely on his own efforts to protect the safety of all villagers near Yunyang Mountain.

  "Then I know what you are!" The Chief of Staff Jiang seemed to have realized something, thinking that even if the Japanese army sent someone to negotiate with them and let their commander surrender, he immediately ordered, "Come on, take these two Japanese spies away and shoot them immediately!"

  "What? Japanese spy?" Murong Wudei really didn't expect that these few words would actually turn him into a spy, it was absurd to the extreme. Just as he was about to explain, those soldiers immediately heard Jiang Bute's order and ran over to catch people, it seemed they were really treating him as a spy.

  "You can't do this! Murong is not a Japanese spy, we are all soldiers from the Pingyang Mountain battlefield, because..." Zhao tried to explain anxiously, but before he could finish speaking, he was immediately caught by these soldiers.

  Murong Wudi did not expect that before the showdown with the Japanese, he would be caught and shot by these confused Nationalist soldiers, it's really a pity for himself.

  Just at this time, several Japanese planes circled in the sky, and then those bombs fell on the position like hailstones, the deafening explosion sound made the entire position start to become chaotic from being tidy. Chiang's chief of staff didn't care about Mu Rong Wu Di and others anymore, he just ran to a relatively high place and shouted at the soldiers in the trenches: "The devils are launching an air raid, everyone hide well, don't come out!"

  The little devil's offensive seems to be very fierce, this time even the big guns were not used, but instead directly let the air force conduct an aerial bombing of the ** front-line positions, those rounds and rounds of bombs came down, even the soil on the ground could be blown upside down, let alone the flesh-and-blood ** soldiers?

  "Brothers, machine guns! Use the Markov heavy machine gun to deal with them!" Mu Rong Wudi had almost been shot by his own brother earlier. He could have taken advantage of the chaos to leave with Zhao Changyou, but he didn't. Instead, he took advantage of the chaos to let Zhao Changyou return first and inform Hu Pai and Ye Sangchu about what was happening here, so they could think of a way to rescue him. Meanwhile, Mu Rong Wudi walked directly towards the machine gun position and ordered the soldiers to use heavy machine guns to deal with those devils.

  "Sir, this machine gun is too heavy, it can only fire forward, not upward!" The company commander of the machine gun company immediately said after seeing Mu Rongwu's order, he didn't know if Mu Rongwu was too anxious and forgot that a heavy machine gun couldn't be fired upwards.

  "Take it down and get ready to shoot, hurry up!" Murong Wudei said in a commanding tone, as he was a junior military officer, giving orders to these soldiers was a matter of course, so he didn't plan to wait for anything, directly instructing everyone.

  At his command, all the machine gunners disassembled their heavy machine guns and prepared to deal with the devils' planes, but none of them could imagine whether this method would really be able to knock down the planes.
