Chapter 983 Fools Have Fool's Luck
The same applies to Chu Yunfei's side. Once his troops enter the city, it means the overall situation is settled. He can then use his superior strength and firepower to wipe out the remaining enemy forces.
This can be considered a battle to establish the prestige of the Jin-Sui Army. Chu Yunfei, with his own strength, annihilated an entire regiment of invaders and also recovered an important city in Jin Province. What a feat this was!
Thinking of this, Chu Yunfei felt a surge of joy and his mood improved. He even hummed a folk song from his hometown.
But the story doesn't end there. Let's talk about what happened in Goose City.
In fact, when the Jin-Sui Army outside the city began shelling, everyone was preparing, especially when the city walls were bombarded by heavy artillery and the battle between the two sides was at its most intense.
The righteous warriors who had been prepared in advance launched their attack according to the original plan.
At this time, the Loyal and Righteous Gang and the Fierce Tiger Hall were tasked with jointly eliminating the Skull and Bones Society in the city, with the aim of preventing these damned beasts from taking advantage of the chaos to harm the common people.
Speaking of the Skull and Bones Society, the people of Goose City grit their teeth in hatred. If hatred could be turned into weapons, the entire Skull and Bones Society would probably be reduced to ashes.
Even before the invaders arrived, the Skull and Bones Society was already engaging in bullying and extortion, harassing men and women, and lending money at exorbitant interest rates, forcing many ordinary people to lose their families and lives.
If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. Few people in the underworld are clean; it's their means of survival.
But what they shouldn't have done was to collude with the enemy before the Japanese invaders even entered the country.
The Skull and Bones Society played a significant role in the fall of Goose City. One of the original garrison battalion commanders was bribed by these damned beasts and led his troops to defect at a crucial moment, which allowed the enemy to easily occupy the city.
On the other hand, although the members of the Fierce Tiger Gang were no saints either, when it came to matters of national importance, everyone resolutely stood on the side of China.
When the Japanese invaded, they enthusiastically donated money and supplies, and even sent out a large number of their followers to gather information and help the army transport supplies.
Although it ultimately didn't have much effect, the people kept everything in mind.
During the period when the Japanese occupied Goose City, these gangs also adhered to the duty of a Chinese person and did not help the invaders oppress their compatriots.
There is an old Chinese saying: "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded. It's not that they won't be punished, it's just that the time hasn't come yet. When the time comes, everything will be repaid."
Tonight is the time for the Skull and Bones Society to pay its debts. It is the greatest shame for all righteous and noble Chinese people to let such bastards who have sided with the invaders and become their henchmen live in this world.
The Loyalty Gang and the Fierce Tiger Hall originally had a grudge against this Skull Society, so they were the most suitable to be chosen as the executors.
To reduce our casualties, the intelligence personnel in the city specially allocated twenty PPSh submachine guns and fifty miscellaneous pistols of various models, mainly Spanish side-opening Mauser pistols, to the two gangs.
These Mauser C96 pistols were all retired from the main force. Previously, in order to improve the firepower of the troops, the base area produced a large number of Mauser C96 pistols.
However, on the other hand, the Mauser C96 has many shortcomings and is somewhat outdated compared to modern weaponry.
After all, in terms of rate of fire, it can't compare to a submachine gun; in terms of range, it can't compare to an assault rifle; and in terms of portability, it can't compare to a Black Star pistol.
It seems that it has suddenly gone from being a highly sought-after commodity to an unusual entity.
Platoon and squad leaders used to prefer Mauser pistols because the army was poor back then. A squad might not even have a light machine gun, so the Mauser pistol, which could fire in bursts, was usually the most important weapon for an infantry squad.
However, given the current equipment situation of our troops, an infantry squad is equipped with one new light machine gun with a 100-round drum magazine, two submachine guns, one assault rifle, and the rest are Mauser 4-ring rifles.
By the way, the squad leader, deputy squad leader, and machine gunner are also equipped with Black Star pistols.
To be honest, this luxurious configuration, in terms of light weapons, completely outclasses the most elite Japanese field troops.
As for the Mauser C96 pistols that were previously widely used, they naturally ended up in the hands of guerrillas or armed groups behind enemy lines.
The Tiger Gang was no exception; they preferred using Mauser pistols to the lightweight pistols.
At this moment, Master Dao and Master Hu, the leader of the Fierce Tiger Hall, were sitting in the back chatting and drinking tea.
Both of them are big shots; they don't need to do this kind of thing themselves.
Furthermore, the two gangs have mobilized far more manpower than the Skull and Bones Society, and their weapons are far superior to those of the other two groups.
After all, Goose City was just a small city in Shanxi Province, and it was an inland province with only average strength. The Japanese could not possibly provide a large number of supplies to the traitorous gangs, which resulted in all the gangs in the city being very weak.
If it weren't for the unexpected emergence of our intelligence personnel who stockpiled a large amount of weapons and ammunition in the city, even if everyone joined forces, they wouldn't pose any threat to the enemy's garrison in the city.
The leader of the Fierce Tiger Hall asked excitedly:
"Old Dao, we've been friends for so many years, tell me your thoughts on what's been happening these past few days."
"Hey sick cat, I told you long ago that your Sick Cat Hall is good for nothing but eating, and you just can't do that."
"All these years, all we've done is charge in headfirst. And all these years, how many losses have we suffered?"
“A few years ago, when the Japanese first invaded, you were the most active and suffered the greatest losses. You haven’t recovered even after all these years.”
"I advised you before that you shouldn't confront a powerful enemy head-on, but rather use strategy and sabotage them from the shadows. But you just wouldn't listen, sigh."
Tiger touched his distinctive bald head and said with a chuckle:
"Our Tiger Hall is a group of fierce tigers that have come down from the mountain. We believe in being open and aboveboard and we hate those who play dirty tricks in the dark. We can't learn those things."
"Besides, the Japanese devils have gone too far, someone has to stand up and fight back, even if it means sacrificing themselves, so that the people of Goose Town know that there are still men with guts here."
"However, this time the people over there actually put our Tiger Gang in charge of today's affairs. Isn't that making things difficult for us rough men?"
"Old Dao, we brothers should discuss and decide on matters of joint operations and command. It's not a matter of one commanding the other between the Fierce Tiger Gang and the Loyal Righteous Gang."
The leader of the Knife Gang felt frustrated about this matter. In terms of command ability, strategy, and even numbers, the Loyal and Righteous Gang was several times larger than the Fierce Tiger Gang.
However, the final elimination of the Skull and Bones Society was mainly initiated by the Tiger Gang, which was specifically mentioned by them.
At this moment, the leader of the Knife Gang remembered an old saying: "Fools are often blessed with good fortune."
