In the Donghui Town National Rescue Army, Zhou Cheng was surrounded by Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu as soon as he came back, wanting to know what he had gained from this trip.

Zhou Cheng did not hide it, and directly handed the seized list to Tang Yufeng, and then explained: "This matter must be kept confidential. We should give the weapons and equipment that we cannot use directly to the division headquarters. The equipment and ammunition that can be used will be slowly moved back to avoid arousing Yuan Shushan's suspicion...

"Shit...so much..."

After reading the list, both of them took a breath and exclaimed with incredible expressions.

Zhou Cheng nodded with a smile: "I was also shocked at that time. Although I had already calculated that there was still much equipment and ammunition left in the arsenal, the shock I brought to me when I saw them was still very great, especially those four mountain cannons!"

"My idea is that we will fight a battle with the Japanese and puppet troops as soon as possible, and use the four mountain cannons as spoils and equip the troops so that the artillery company can be upgraded to the artillery battalion, and we will not be afraid of any artillery brigade against the Japanese in the future."

Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu both nodded in agreement, especially Tang Yufeng, who was afraid of being poor in the old army before, and when he thought that so many good equipment was hidden in the cave and could not be used, he began to worry. He followed Zhou Cheng's words and said: "Not only mountain cannons, but also those submachine guns and twenty-shot box cannons should be brought back as soon as possible."

"In the future, the battle between us and the Japanese will definitely become bigger and bigger. It is impossible for us to be surprised every time we counter-sweep, and defeat the enemy at the minimum cost. If we encounter one or two tough battles, both sides will definitely fight bayonets on the battlefield. At that time, the role of submachine guns and twenty-shot box cannons is greater than that of light machine guns."

"In addition to the submachine guns that have been stockpiled in the secret warehouse of the regiment headquarters, I plan to add a submachine gun squad to the guard platoon of each battalion. As the mobile troops in the battalion, I will run to the front when fighting with the Japanese battalion and hold a fire at the Japanese. I will definitely be able to severely damage the Japanese before fighting with the Japanese and increase our chances of winning."

"If there are more, the regiment guard company will also add a submachine gun platoon. If the battlefield is used well, the power of this submachine gun platoon will be no less than that of a fully-packed infantry company."

Tang Yufeng's proposal coincided with Zhou Cheng's idea, and he immediately replied: "Then let's fight a medium-sized battle within ten days. If the Japanese don't attack, then we will take the initiative to attack them and get back those weapons and ammunition as soon as possible."

"Chief of Staff, in the past few days, we will strengthen our reconnaissance efforts against the Japanese and puppet troops around us and find a suitable fighter jet as soon as possible!"

When Chen Zhengyu heard about the war, his eyes began to shine and quickly replied: "Don't worry, leader, I will arrange it tomorrow."

Zhou Cheng continued to introduce: "In addition to seizing a large number of weapons and ammunition, we still have a high chance of incorporating the Arsenal Guard Company."

"Now this company is temporarily hidden in the place where we hand over weapons every time. If you guess correctly, they are contacting Deputy Commander Yuan to discuss the inclusion. I hope our National Salvation Army can incorporate them. After all, there is only our main force recognized by the war zone. The others are either guerrillas or the Eighth Route Army. They are definitely unwilling to join."

"I have observed this garrison company these days. I am very determined to fight against Japan and fight the Japanese. Otherwise, I would not have stayed alone behind the enemy for so long without rebellion."

"The combat effectiveness and the discipline of the troops are also good, otherwise they would have been exposed for so long."

"If they can be recruited and then expanded into a strengthening company based on this garrison company, the regiment headquarters will make some adjustments to the command system of this strengthening company and strengthen the management of the regiment headquarters, our National Salvation Army will definitely have another strong team!"

Chen Zhengyu obviously agreed with the regiment commander's idea and immediately replied: "I think since the expansion of the Third Battalion, the command center can mobilize fewer mobile troops, which is a big problem."

"If two main battalions are attacked at the same time, they will not be able to separate the extra troops to reinforce the other side. The troops that the regiment headquarters can take action are only one cavalry company, one artillery company, and one guard company."

"The main task of the guard company is to protect the regiment headquarters. It must not be transferred casually unless it is an emergency. This means that there are almost no infantry in the mobile units of the regiment headquarters."

"If the regiment headquarters can build another reinforcement company, they can deal with common emergencies in the defense zone, which greatly reduces the pressure on the two main battalions!"

"So I completely agree to incorporate this garrison company. Not only should it be incorporated, but it also needs to expand them into a reinforced company as the regiment commander said just now, and it belongs to the regiment headquarters!"

From a military perspective, Tang Yufeng strongly agreed with the troops to recruit the garrison company and expand them. But he had a vague concern.

"Captain, I agree to the recruitment of the garrison company, but in this way, Yuan Shushan will have more troops in his hands!"

"Since the war zone handed over the arsenal to Yuan Shushan, the garrison company that protected the arsenal must have listened to him. It is his veritable confidant force, and the regiment headquarters will definitely be difficult to control at that time."

Zhou Cheng smiled and replied confidently: "In order to empty the arsenal and paralyze Yuan Shushan, we gave him so much real power. Now the arsenal is gone, and it is time to slowly reclaim these real powers!"

"There will be fewer and fewer troops in Yuan Shushan's hands in his hands, and you will be staring at him. Even if the garrison is his confidant, it will not cause any big waves. Old Tang, don't worry!"

Since Zhou Cheng knew it, Tang Yufeng stopped talking nonsense: "Okay, then I'll listen to you!"

"Report!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liang Hongjiang's voice sounded at the door, and then he saw him walking in quickly.

"The regiment commander, deputy regiment commander, chief of staff, deputy regiment commander Yuan came to the regiment headquarters!"

"Just say Cao Cao, Cao Cao, Lao Tang, Chief of Staff, I'm sure Yuan Shushan came for the garrison company!" Zhou Cheng's face turned up, and he was very sure of the judgment.

The three of them waited less than a minute and Yuan Shushan came in. Zhou Cheng took the initiative and spoke first: "Deputy Commander Yuan, I have been placing on the reconnaissance company recently to guide them in training. I rarely pay attention to the Third Battalion. After so long, how are you formed?"

Deputy Commander Yuan was in a very good mood today. The night before yesterday, the guard company transported all the weapons and equipment lacked by the Third Battalion. The Third Battalion was officially filled with personnel, and after another two or three months of training, it would fully form combat effectiveness.

During the day today, I suddenly received news that the arsenal was destroyed by the arsenal.

Although I felt very sad about the remaining weapons and ammunition, I quickly figured it out.

As long as the third battalion formed combat effectiveness, let itself be supported by the National Salvation Army and fought against Zhou Cheng, it doesn't matter whether there are any remaining weapons and ammunition in the arsenal.

More importantly, after the arsenal is gone, the garrison company that protects the arsenal will have no tasks. According to the orders of the superior, the garrison company will be directly incorporated into the national rescue army and under its own command.

The third battalion has not yet formed combat power, and the garrison company has combat power. If it can be integrated into the National Salvation Army, it will immediately have troops that can be fought, and it will no longer be a lonely person who can be slaughtered.

With this beautiful idea, the bad news that the arsenal was destroyed was suddenly left behind by him, and he just wanted to quickly incorporate the garrison company into the National Salvation Army and let them stay by his side.

With this kind of good mood, Yuan Shushan knew everything about Zhou Cheng's problems, and even had the intention of showing off his power and answering with confidence: "Report to the commander of the regiment, the Third Battalion has now become an army."

"The troops are all formed according to the standards of the first and second battalions, with three main companies under their jurisdiction, one firepower company, one guard platoon, one reconnaissance platoon, one cavalry platoon, one baggage platoon, one communication squad, one engineer squad, and one kitchen squad, with a full 800 people."

"The battalion has a total of 486 rifles, sixteen of which are built in Czech Republic, four heavy machine guns, four mortars, twenty submachine guns, thirteen pistols, nine grenade bullets, 32 war horses, and 32 cavalry equipment..."

"Very good!" Zhou Cheng replied with satisfaction: "You can become like this in the Third Battalion, Deputy Commander Yuan, you have made a great contribution!"

"But you can't always have the position of battalion commander of the third battalion, so in the next training, you have to find one battalion commander and two deputy battalion commanders as soon as possible from the several company commanders of the third battalion and deputy company commanders."

"We should give the company commanders below more opportunities, otherwise their abilities will never be improved!"

Yuan Shushan frowned when he heard Zhou Cheng's words.

The regiment commander said just now that he wanted to take away the rights in his hands, but his frown quickly relaxed because the regiment commander asked him to find the battalion commander of the Third Battalion and the deputy battalion commander. As long as he promoted his confidant to the battalion commander, the Third Battalion would still be in his hands.

Moreover, Yuan Shushan had no reason to refuse.

When rebuilding the National Salvation Army, Chen Zhengyu and Zhou Cheng served as battalion commanders of the first and second battalions respectively.

After the two battalions formed combat power and had the right battalion commander, the two immediately stepped down from the battalion commander, without any intention of greed for military power.

With the regiment commander and chief of staff as role models in front, there is no reason why he wants to dominate the position of the battalion commander of the Third Battalion and not let go.

Moreover, Zhou Cheng nodded to the next step to reorganize the garrison company and build the garrison company into his own confidant troops.

If he disobeys this very reasonable order now, he will definitely find a way to refuse when he makes his own request.

In order to incorporate the Guard Company into the National Rescue Army and obtain the command of the Guard Company, and to decide the candidate for the Battalion Commander of the Third Battalion, Yuan Shushan decisively decided to give up the position of Battalion Commander of the Third Battalion.

After thinking for a few seconds, he replied: "Please rest assured to the regiment commander. After I go back, I will look for candidates for battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders. I will definitely be able to bring out a third battalion with strong combat power."

Zhou Cheng nodded and continued to ask: "By the way, I forgot to ask you what's wrong?"

"That's right!" Yuan Shushan answered quickly.

"There was also a company of Jinsui Army operating near Pingding. Today I suddenly found me and wanted to incorporate the National Rescue Army. I thought this was a good thing, so I rushed over and asked the regiment commander."

"As far as I know, there are more than a hundred people in this company, well-equipped and good combat effectiveness. The most important thing is that their determination to fight against Japan is very firm, otherwise they would not have persisted alone behind the enemy for so long without surrendering to the enemy."

"If we join the National Salvation Army, we will definitely greatly increase our combat effectiveness."

"My idea is to accept them and adapt them as a whole into our National Salvation Army's spy company, directly under the regiment headquarters!"
