Bright Sword: Leading the Special Operations Squadron to Fight the Japs

Chapter 399 Grilled Fish or Instant Noodles

As soon as the Japanese planes left, the soldiers of the 201st Airborne Regiment and Weishanhu Independent Battalion came out from the reed marshes, tunnels, and bunkers and began to repair various fortifications.

"Lao Peng, when the situation here is almost settled, our 201st Airborne Regiment will prepare to return to Pingshun. Those gliders cannot be recycled, so you should just take them apart and use them!"

Peng Liang nodded. If these things could be recycled, he would probably be reluctant to dismantle them.

But if these big guys are not demolished, they will be conspicuous.

"Commander Li and Chief of Staff Wang called and said that they would be airdropping supplies tonight. Let's go and see what good stuff there is and fill up our soldiers' bullet bags!"

According to the intelligence, after Ishihara Satomi landed, she immediately returned to Zaozhuang with her independent 5th Infantry Battalion.

Faced with the reprimand from his immediate superior, he pushed all the responsibility onto the Imperial Army.

However, he still couldn't explain why a battalion of troops couldn't wipe out a so-called guerrilla group! Moreover, they suffered heavy losses, including nearly a thousand imperial warriors and four gunboats.

"Your Excellency, I believe that the Chinese army on Weishan Lake is no longer just an ordinary guerrilla force, but a real regular army!"

"What? According to your analysis, which unit are they from? The Central Army? Or the Eighth Route Army?"

Ishihara Satomi narrowed her eyes, revealing an expression that showed she knew everything.

"Judging from their weapons, equipment and uniforms, they are the Jinnan Independent Column!"

"Hiss! Have they infiltrated the Jinpu Line? No, I have to report to the headquarters immediately. Next, we must do our best to defend the Jinpu Line!"

Ishihara Satomi put her legs together and saluted.

"Ha Yi! Should we launch another attack on them? If the Empire's planes join the battle, I am confident that I can capture Weishan Island!"

"No! Don't provoke them yet! As far as I know, the North China Front Command is planning a major operation. Don't lose the big picture because of the small one!"

Ishihara Satomi gritted her teeth in hatred, but then she showed a complicated expression.

"Yoshi, the battlefield behind enemy lines isn't that boring!"

As night fell, a huge bonfire was lit on Weishan Island, followed by the sound of airplanes roaring.

"Everyone, watch out for the parachutes. Don't miss a box! The commander said they're full of good stuff!"

Ten transport planes circled twice, and then small white umbrellas continued to bloom in the air. With the bright moonlight, they were still clearly visible.

Fortunately, Weishan Island is big enough. Except for seven or eight boxes that fell into Weishan Lake, the rest fell into every corner of the island.

In the end, there were more than a hundred boxes collected.

Monk Wei and Peng Liang immediately asked the soldiers to open the boxes.

G42 semi-automatic rifles, MG32 general-purpose machine guns, mortars, and countless bullets, artillery shells, and grenades.

These weapons are enough to equip an infantry regiment!

"Old Peng, the food and fodder must be sent before the troops move. Commander Li wants you to quickly get the team together!"

Having just won a great victory, Peng Liang is now full of ambition and confidence.

"With these weapons and equipment, I guarantee that we can form an infantry regiment within three months! Previously, we had too many new recruits and were afraid to expand too quickly. Now these are veterans who have been tested by artillery fire. I have confidence!"

Monk Wei looked at Peng Liang with saliva flying, and he knew that this guy must have had a plan in advance. After all, he has been in Weishan Lake for so long, and he has a certain mass base, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to gather a group!

"Come on, let's continue to dismantle it and see what good things Commander Li brought us?"

Next came some military uniforms, bedding, helmets, equipment, etc.

"Captain, come and look! So many instant noodles!"

The soldiers of Weishan Lake Independent Battalion opened a wooden box, which was full of instant noodles.

These instant noodles are not new to the soldiers of the 201st Airborne Regiment, but they are good stuff for the Weishanhu Independent Battalion.

They had probably only eaten instant noodles once or twice, and they had gotten them from the instructors sent by Pingshun.

"Come on, set up the pot! This is Commander Li's affirmation of everyone!"

Instant noodles were delivered to various camps on Weishan Island. In less than ten minutes, the aroma of braised beef noodles and traditional sauerkraut noodles filled the entire Weishan Island.

But the 201st Battalion of the st Airborne Regiment of Wei Heshang had no interest in it. They had exchanged so many Japanese heads for this thing that they were already tired of it!

Peng Liang scooped out a big bowl of instant noodles and handed it to Monk Wei.

"Old Wei, have some noodles! We're treating you today!"

Wei Dayong curled his lips and looked at the rich soup, not having much appetite.

"Lao Peng, we don't eat instant noodles. Do you have anything else to eat?"

Peng Liang showed a somewhat embarrassed expression. The food supply had been cut off in Weishan Lake a long time ago. What delicious food was there?

"In this remote and poor place, there is nothing to eat except fish!"

"Fish? Yes, you have fish! Come on! Let's catch some fish!"

Monk Wei immediately asked Peng Liang for a fishing net and prepared to go fishing, but in the end, no matter how hard he tried, he only caught a dozen small fish as wide as a palm.

"Damn it! Can't I deal with you bastards?"

After getting a few grenades, Monk Wei led his men into the water again. After a few dull loud noises, a group of stunned big carps floated on Weishan Lake.

Monk Wei rowed the boat quickly and caught all the fish. The fish filled up half of the boat.

"Come on, come on, hurry up and distribute it to each class, so that everyone can grill the fish!"

Monk Wei was still not satisfied, so he rowed the boat to a farther part of the lake and threw a few more grenades from a distance.

After the explosion, the carp that floated up were bigger and fatter.

Monk Wei enjoyed this until every class got two big carps weighing seven or eight kilograms!

Cut open the big carp's guts, take out its gills, and then pierce it with an iron skewer. Put it on the fire and roast it with a sizzling sound. Sprinkle some salt on it from time to time, and the aroma will fill the air.

"Captain, look what I found!"

"Don't play tricks on me, just bring it here!"

The soldiers of the 1st Battalion of the Airborne Regiment found a wooden box full of various seasonings, including salt, chili powder, cumin, pepper powder, lard, etc.

These things were their favorites when they were training at Qingyang Airport.

After each training session, Wang Ming’s instructors would use these seasonings to grill delicious skewers of barbecue. Sometimes, during festivals, they would even have roasted lamb.

Monk Wei opened the can of chili powder, grabbed a pinch, and sprinkled it on the sizzling grilled fish, making the flavor more layered.

In the light of the fire, the five big words "Pingshun Food Factory" came into view.

"Haha, it seems that what I thought was right! I heard that Chief of Staff Wang likes to eat barbecue, so he asked the food factory to mass-produce a batch of seasonings for the troops!"
