Zhou Cheng agreed with Huang Hu's decision and nodded and ordered: "If there is still a chance to intercept the weapons and equipment that Yuan Shushan transported from the arsenal in the future, except for the heavy weapons, submachine guns, and grenades that we can use, all the others will be hidden on the spot. At that time, we will send them to the division headquarters with the 79-caliber weapons we seized on the battlefield!"

"In addition, we continued to arrange people to keep an eye on Yuan Shushan and the guards around him. The platoon leaders who were attracted by Yuan Shushan also arranged people to keep an eye on him and report to me as soon as possible if there is any situation."

Yuan Shushan found Zhou Cheng again five days later and asked the regiment headquarters to draw troops and mules and horses to receive the second batch of weapons and ammunition sent from the war zone. Zhou Cheng knew that the opportunity had come again when he heard it. Without any hesitation, he directly agreed to all the requests made by Yuan Shushan.

More than an hour later, Tang Yufeng, Chen Zhengyu, Huang Hu, Liang Hongjiang and four people appeared in Zhou Cheng's room one after another.

Zhou Cheng didn't say nonsense, and directly told the reason why he summoned everyone: "Old Tang, Deputy Commander Yuan just asked me for the troops, and he also asked the logistics company to second the fifty mules and horses. He set out tonight and went to the receiving point to transport weapons and ammunition. I have agreed to all his requests. Everyone said: How do we deal with this batch of weapons and ammunition?"

Huang Hu had just taken a big advantage. Although the seized grenades and submachine guns were sent to the regiment headquarters and the pneumatic guns were also ready to be sent to the division headquarters, he stayed the five box cannons and two thousand matching bullets in the batch.

If there is another similar operation, five box cannons can be seized. All the platoon leaders of the Second Battalion can be equipped with double guns, a 38-large cover for long-range shooting, and a box cannon with close-range shooting that is no less powerful than a light machine gun, greatly increasing the troops' melee firepower.

If the enemy and us on the battlefield in the future fight against bayonets, and the platoon leaders in the first contact with the Japanese, first beat them with box cannons, and then bayonets against bayonets, the chances of winning of the second battalion will definitely increase greatly.

So he was anxious to get another piece of money from Yuan Shushan and seize a few twenty-shot box cannons.

So as soon as the leader finished his words, he was anxious to express his opinion: "It's important to say that this batch of equipment must be cut off!"

"And the equipment and ammunition of a strengthening company are less than fifty mules and horses to transport. I guess the weapons that Deputy Commander Yuan brought this time include a lot of heavy weapons!"

"It would be a waste if it fell into his hands."

Tang Yufeng didn't think so, and frowned and replied: "I suggest that we don't take action this time. If we intercepted weapons and ammunition twice in a row, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Deputy Commander Yuan!"

"And this operation, Deputy Commander Yuan was obviously more cautious. He replaced the cart with mules and horses to transport weapons and ammunition. Mules and horses were more maneuverable and flexible when marching. Even if we wanted to intercept this batch of equipment and ammunition, it would be difficult to think of a complete solution!"

Chen Zhengyu nodded in agreement: "I agree with Deputy Leader Tang's analysis!"

"We can't do it too much if we take advantage of it!"

"I'm not too worried about Deputy Commander Yuan's suspicion. He is now alone. As long as the third battalion has not been formed for a day, he will not cause any dissatisfaction with us."

"What I worry most is to attack Deputy Commander Yuan's confidence in continuing to transport weapons and ammunition from the arsenal. If he had the idea that no matter how many weapons and ammunition were, he could not reach the third battalion's headquarters, and he would give up and stop transporting weapons and ammunition from the arsenal, then we would have suffered a great loss!"

Huang Hu knew that the deputy commander and the chief of staff were more reasonable, and sighed and replied: "It's just a pity. So many weapons and ammunition finally fell into the hands of Deputy Commander Yuan!"

Tang Yufeng comforted: "Captain Huang, there is nothing to be a pity!"

"Even if all the equipment is in the hands of Deputy Commander Yuan, it will be used to form the Third Battalion. The Third Battalion is also the unit of our National Salvation Army. It is only temporarily under the command of Deputy Commander Yuan. As long as the regiment headquarters needs it, the command authority can be reclaimed at any time and the regiment headquarters will manage them."

Zhou Cheng, who had been silent, finally spoke: "I think everyone's discussion just now makes sense. Now let me talk about my own ideas!"

"It's not just the weapons and ammunition transported by Yuan Shushan from the arsenal, in order to send more 79-caliber weapons to the division headquarters, the equipment and ammunition given to us in the war zone were attacked by Japanese and Japanese. Whether it's true or fake, everyone will get used to it after hearing it too much. If a convoy transporting weapons and ammunition was not attacked by Japanese and puppet troops, that would be abnormal and would be even more suspicious."

"It is not enough to send troops to intercept this batch of equipment. There will definitely be an ending that Lao Tang and the Chief of Staff are worried about. It will not only arouse Yuan Shushan's suspicion, but also hit his determination to continue to transport weapons and ammunition from the arsenal. In this case, can we win the favor?"

"The raid continued, just like last time, and continued to send troops to harass the transport team, posing as an attitude of destroying these weapons and ammunition. However, when we were operating, we only cut off half of the weapons and ammunition, left half of them to the third battalion's headquarters, and handed them over to Yuan Shushan."

"The reason why he replaced the big cart used to transport weapons with mules and horses was that he must have taken a fancy to the powerful maneuverability of mules and horses. After being attacked, he could quickly transfer anytime and anywhere."

"Since that's the case, then we will satisfy Deputy Commander Yuan's wish."

"After the transport team was attacked, fifty mules and horses quickly evacuated the battlefield and avoided shelling with their fast maneuverability. However, many mules and horses did not run out during the operation, and were killed together with the weapons and ammunition transported on the horse's back."

"Of course, in order to make the trick more realistic, most mules and horses can successfully evacuate from the battlefield. But during the retreat, many weapons and ammunition fell off the back of mules and horses while running, left on the battlefield, and were finally blown up by shells!"

"The transport team returned to the regiment headquarters and handed over half of the weapons and ammunition to Deputy Commander Yuan, which not only made him feel that his decision to use mules and horses to transport weapons and ammunition was correct, but also made him see his hope of successfully forming the third battalion, so that he would continue to transport weapons and ammunition from the arsenal!"

Tang Yufeng's eyes lit up. The leader's idea was undoubtedly more meticulous than his proposal just now. He immediately agreed: "I support the leader's idea!"

"I support it too!" Chen Zhengyu said.

The happiest of the few people was Huang Hu. He thought he had no hope of seizing five box cannons, but the regiment commander let him see the opportunity again.

Some people may say: Even if Huang Hu successfully intercepted half of his weapons and ammunition, he might not necessarily have the box cannon he wanted.

Huang Hu was not worried about this problem at all. The Arsenal Guard Company would only send weapons and ammunition to the establishment of the response point, and the task of scattering weapons and ammunition to the horse's back was entirely dependent on the guard company. During the whole process, the soldiers could know which box was loaded with a little carefulness.

After the "raid" began, the guard company gave up some mules, horses, weapons and ammunition in a targeted manner, and the five box cannons he had been thinking about would fall into the hands of the Second Battalion.

His mouth was almost unable to close his smile, so he quickly took the order: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, our arrangement this time must be more meticulous than last time, and we must ensure that it is foolproof, so that Deputy regiment commander Yuan will not notice any problems!"

"The troops are speeding up, and there are Japanese scouts around them now!"

In order to prevent the Japanese air raid, Yuan Shushan chose to transport the second batch of weapons and ammunition he had transported from the arsenal at night. Liang Hongjiang, the guard company commander who was responsible for the transportation task, was rushing to the road while reminding the troops around him.

The people sent by Yuan Shushan to the guard company were two platoon leaders last time, walking next to Liang Hongjiang, staring at the surroundings with vigilance.

They heard the military orders issued by Liang Hongjiang all the way, some of which were precautions they could think of, and some of which were not expected, but they were all for the purpose of safely sending this batch of weapons and ammunition back to the base.

At this moment, Liang Hongjiang spoke again: "The distance between mules and horses is wider, don't get together. At that time, the Japanese will reimburse several of our mules and horses if a shell comes down!"

When the two platoon leaders heard that this was true, the scene of the convoy being attacked a few days ago suddenly flashed in their minds.

Run back and forth in the team quickly to disperse the mules and horses in the team as much as possible.

After all this, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. When they looked at Liang Hongjiang again, their eyes were already wary of the beginning.

In their opinion: Liang Hongjiang was too responsible and defended the entire mule and horse team tightly. If he was a Japanese devil, he would not find any chance to attack in the face of these arrangements.

So in the next march, even if the troops are attacked again and something happens, the responsibility will not lie with the guard company.

Because he did everything he should do and what he shouldn't do.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

The explosion that everyone was most worried about sounded again, and three balls of fire quickly rose from the ground not far away, and the splashing flames were particularly dazzling under the cover of the night.

The two platoon leaders did not panic this time because the cart for transporting weapons had been replaced with mules and horses. As long as Liang Hongjiang gave an order, the mules and horse team could instantly disperse and leave the place.

Liang Hongjiang's performance once again amazes them. Before he could remind him, the command sounded in their ears: "Each squad takes the mules and horses they protect, and leave here quickly... Everyone leaves separately, and the speed should be fast!"

The two platoon leaders followed Liang Hongjiang at the same time. Less than ten meters away, the dull heavy machine gun strafing sounded suddenly behind them, and then a series of rapid footsteps sounded behind them.

"Company Commander, a squadron of Japanese soldiers suddenly appeared behind us. They were equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars and were rushing towards us!"

Liang Hongjiang immediately ordered: "The troops retreat immediately, try not to fight with them. Protecting weapons and ammunition is the most important thing... Everyone should leave here quickly and don't be stuck with the Japanese."

"This is our base. The Japanese dare not chase us for too long. They will retreat at most ten minutes..."

After listening to Liang Hongjiang's order, the two platoon leaders could not find any fault.

Because every order issued by Liang Hongjiang was focusing on the weapons and ammunition protected by the troops, they were trying to find ways to safely evacuate these weapons and ammunition from the battlefield.

The result was exactly the same as Liang Hongjiang's judgment. After running for seven or eight minutes, the gunshots behind him stopped.

The two platoon leaders quickly turned around and searched for mules and horses. Fortunately, most of them retreated.

More than ten minutes later, the deputy company commander came over panting and said, "Company Commander, we have lost 16 mules and horses in total, either killed and injured by the bomb or taken away by the Japanese who attacked us just now!"

"Although there are 34 mules and horses left, many of the weapons and ammunition on the backs of mules and horses fell down when they retreated and left on the battlefield."

"I just sent someone back to search and found only three boxes of intact bullets and a box of ten rifles. The remaining weapons and ammunition were destroyed by the Japanese, and about half of the weapons and ammunition were lost!"
