"You just said that a lot of weapons, ammunition, mules and horses were stolen by the Japanese who attacked us just now?" Liang Hongjiang asked staring at his partner.

"At least five mules and horses were stolen by them, and there were more weapons and ammunition. When the Japanese retreated, many people carried ammunition boxes on their shoulders!" The deputy company commander thought for a while and answered.

"We must find a way to grab those equipment and ammunition back!" Liang Hongjiang shouted dissatisfied.

"The mission given to me is to send all weapons and ammunition back to the base at all costs. We must not be blown up halfway like last time. As a result, a lot of weapons and ammunition were still stolen and destroyed. If we just go back like this, we will definitely be punished and the face of the guard company will be lost by us."

"A row of people left behind to protect the remaining mules, horses and weapons and ammunition. The others followed me and snatched back those weapons and ammunition at all costs."

Liang Hongjiang was indignant and the two platoon leaders sent by Yuan Shushan believed it.

They also wanted to grab the lost equipment so that they could go back and report to Deputy Commander Yuan.

Seeing Liang Hongjiang taking the lead in proposing to kill him, he didn't think much about it and shouted: "Company Commander Liang, although we only have two people, we are willing to fight back with you and grab the thrown weapons and ammunition!"

The deputy company commander quit and immediately advised: "Company Commander, don't be impulsive. The Japanese who attacked us just now had at least one squadron, and they were equipped with a large number of mortars and heavy machine guns. If you only bring two platoons to kill you, you will definitely not be able to gain any advantage. Maybe you will suffer any losses. You will be beaten with meat buns and no return."

"And none of us know if there are any other Japanese around the battlefield hiding or not. If so, we will only leave a platoon to protect the remaining weapons and ammunition. If the Japanese are targeted, the weapons and ammunition that the troops finally robbed from the battlefield will definitely be lost, and the losses will be huge."

The dreamer woke up with a word. The two platoon leaders were still dreaming, thinking about how to grab the weapons and ammunition that had just been thrown away from the Japanese.

After hearing what the deputy company commander said, he was enlightened and was shocked and sweated.

If there were other Japanese soldiers around and the main force of the guard company left again, the weapons and ammunition around him would definitely be destroyed.

At that time, not only will everyone not be able to grab the weapons and ammunition that have been thrown away, but they will not have any weapons and ammunition that they finally brought out from the battlefield. In the end, they can only return to the regiment headquarters empty-handed, and they will lose their troops.

He quickly suppressed the idea of ​​killing back and grabbing weapons and ammunition, and followed the deputy company commander to persuade Liang Hongjiang who was still angry: "Company Commander Liang must be calm. I think the deputy company commander is right. The enemy situation around him is unknown, so we'd better not take risks."

"Even if we really want to snatch back the lost weapons and ammunition, we must first send the weapons and ammunition on hand back to the base, and save the equipment that can be saved first!"

The three of them persuaded Liang Hongjiang for a while before reassuring: "Since you don't want to fight back, let's go back to the station first, report the situation to the regiment commander before deciding whether to kill him next..."

In the Donghui Town National Rescue Corps, Yuan Shushan was waiting for news at the entrance of the town, constantly lifting his telescope to look into the distance, hoping that the guard company would come back soon.

At five o'clock in the morning, a few sporadic torches finally appeared at the end of their sight. After a few minutes, the torches that were constantly emerging had been connected into a fire dragon and rushed towards the entrance of the town.

Zhou Cheng, who received the news, rushed over after hearing the news. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the town, he collided with Liang Hongjiang who was rushing towards him.

"Report to the regiment commander, the guard company has not completed the task, please punish me!"

Yuan Shushan stood beside Zhou Cheng, his eyes widened when he heard this, staring at Liang Hongjiang and asked anxiously: "Has the weapons and ammunition you transported been destroyed by the Japanese again?"

"How is this possible? You use mules and horses to transport weapons and ammunition. Even if you are attacked by artillery fire from a Japanese mortar squadron, you can run out with the powerful maneuverability of mules and horses? How could you be destroyed all of them!"

Tang Yufeng spoke at the right time: "Do not worry, Deputy Commander Yuan. After hearing Liang Hongjiang finished speaking, what he said might not be a problem with weapons and ammunition. I see that there are still many mules and horses in the guard company's team. Even if something happens to weapons and ammunition, it will not be completely destroyed."

Liang Hongjiang understood the gods and quickly reported: "Please rest assured Deputy Commander Yuan. Although we were attacked by a joint assault by Japanese artillery and infantry on the march, we saved at least half of our weapons and ammunition."

"After rushing out of the raid battlefield, I originally wanted to divide my troops to launch a counterattack and take back the weapons and ammunition we threw away from the Japanese, but the two platoon leaders sent by the Deputy Company Commander and Deputy Commander Yuan to the Guard Company advised me not to be impulsive: if other Japanese are hidden near the battlefield, the Guard Company rashly split the troops and the remaining weapons and ammunition may also lead to the destruction of the remaining weapons and ammunition. In order to prevent the Guard Company from paying off his wife and losing their troops, I decisively ordered the troops to march to the regiment headquarters with the remaining weapons and ammunition, and finally came back before dawn!"

"As long as the regiment commander gives the order, after handing over the weapons and ammunition that the troops have just brought back, I will immediately take the guards back to the battlefield and snatch back the weapons and ammunition we threw from the Japanese at all costs."

Yuan Shushan cried with joy, afraid that he had heard it wrong just now, so he stared at Liang Hongjiang and asked, "You really brought back half of the weapons and ammunition!"

"Yes, Deputy Commander Yuan, Platoon Commander Li and others were there in the entire raid battle. You can ask them the specific battle process. The remaining weapons and ammunition are behind because many mules and horses have lost money, and there is no time to count the specific losses."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Zhou Cheng again: "Please ask the regiment commander to punish him. The guard company did not complete the escort mission, resulting in half of its weapons and ammunition being destroyed or snatched by the Japanese. I hope the regiment commander can give the guard company a chance to make meritorious service. Now, fight back to the battlefield and grab the weapons and ammunition that were taken away by the Japanese!"

Liang Hongjiang was indignant and Zhou Cheng believed it a little.

He put on a look of thinking, after thinking for a half minute, he shook his head and refused: "What are you robbing? Are you a fool who is a Japanese devil? After winning the battle, he is still waiting for you to kill back and take revenge?"

"When you lead the troops to kill them, they will run away long ago!"

"If you take a step back, even if you are lucky enough to find those Japanese devils, you will not be able to grab a gun in the end. We all know the Japanese's virtues: if you encounter danger, you will even blow up the weapons and ammunition you equipped with, so as to prevent us from equiping ourselves after seizing them. If the weapons and ammunition seized on the battlefield will definitely not be heartbroken."

"I promise that as long as they encounter a little danger on the battlefield, they will blow up the equipment and ammunition you threw away in advance. In the end, you paid a huge price to eliminate these Japanese devils, but you did not get anything."

"You don't even think about this suggestion, I won't agree!"

"As for the punishment, the weapons and ammunition you transported were asked by Deputy Commander Yuan to come back from the war zone. The responsibility is also responsible to Deputy Commander Yuan. If Deputy Commander Yuan thinks that your escort is unfavorable and has not protected this batch of weapons and ammunition, I will punish you. If Deputy Commander Yuan thinks that those losses are not your responsibility, then he will not punish you."

After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, he turned his attention to Yuan Shushan: "Deputy Commander Yuan, what do you think?"

Yuan Shushan had already learned about the entire battle from his two confidants. He was shocked and his face was full of gratitude.

If Liang Hongjiang hadn't been vigilant enough on the march, if he hadn't let the mules and horses in the team disperse as much as possible, if he had not ordered the troops to protect weapons and ammunition to retreat immediately after being attacked, if he had not followed the advice of his subordinates after evacuating the battlefield and decisively ordered the troops to protect the remaining weapons and ammunition to rush back to the regiment headquarters first, he would not receive half of the weapons and ammunition tonight.

At this moment, even he himself no longer suspected that the attack on the transport team was related to the regiment commander.

The eyes of Liang Hongjiang were not only grateful but also grateful, and there was no other unnecessary thoughts.

More importantly, today's successful transportation gave him hope to continue transporting weapons and ammunition from the arsenal. If nothing unexpected happens, the next time he transports weapons, he will definitely ask the guard company to help him. If he offended him now and does not do his best to transport weapons and ammunition, he will definitely suffer in the end.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shushan quickly replied: "Captain, I think Company Commander Liang not only has not been successful, but has made contributions."

"If it weren't for his prudence and decisiveness, we wouldn't even be able to save half of our weapons and ammunition tonight."

"Next, I will find a way to contact the war zone and ask them to support our National Rescue Army for a batch of weapons. At that time, I will ask the guard company to help with transportation!"

Zhou Cheng nodded: "Since Deputy Commander Yuan believes that the Guard Company has made merits and no demerits, then he will not be punished."

"In addition, if Deputy Commander Yuan can ask the war zone that we need weapons and ammunition, we need the troops to help transport it. As long as we greet me, the guard company can come over to help at any time."

"Company Commander Liang, immediately hand over the weapons and ammunition you brought back to Deputy Commander Yuan, and then go back to rest."

"As for the Japanese who raided yours, I will give orders to the Second Battalion to find a way to deal with it."

After saying that, he turned his attention to Yuan Shushan again: "Deputy Commander Yuan, the recruits from the new recruits have sent to the third battalion a company, waiting for weapons and equipment."

"You can send them the equipment quickly. If it is not enough, two people use a gun and train first. Once you have equipment, you can immediately form combat power. This can greatly save the troops' training time and allow the third battalion to form combat power as soon as possible."

Yuan Shushan was confused when he heard this. He couldn't understand what Zhou Cheng was thinking.

Zhou Cheng must have known his purpose of coming to save the national army, otherwise he would not have been so cautious before.

But since he suffered two losses in the last anti-sweep raid, the regiment commander seemed to have become a different person. Not only did he no longer be hostile to himself, but he also helped him gain real power in the National Salvation Army.

Didn’t he know that once the Third Battalion formed its combat power, he would have the strength to fight against him, and would never be at his mercy in the future in the country-salvation army?

Could it be that Zhou Cheng was playing hard to get and preparing a new conspiracy to deal with him? An idea suddenly popped up in Yuan Shushan's mind.

But he quickly shook his head.

As long as you have troops and real power, even if Zhou Cheng has a new conspiracy, he will not be afraid.

Thinking of this, Yuan Shushan became even more determined to form the third battalion immediately.

But no matter what, the commander of the regiment encouraged himself and gave him advice. As a subordinate, he must express his gratitude: "Please rest assured, the regiment commander, I will strictly implement your order just now and build the third battalion in the shortest time!"
