The moon is the first to get close to the water. This is a good plan for Yuan Shushan.

The garrison company was changed to a spy company and directly under the regiment headquarters. They would be stationed in Donghui Town. As the deputy regiment commander, they had enough rights to inspect this army.

The garrison company is in charge of itself, and all the regiment-level and deputy regiment-level officers of the National Salvation Army only know themselves. If you run more, you will definitely develop more officers of the garrison company into your own confidants. Even if you can't develop the garrison company into your own private army, you can still use them, and only follow your own leader...

Zhou Cheng saw Yuan Shushan's little thoughts at a glance, but did not say it out loud. He thought about it and replied: "I can be the chief engineer of the garrison company, or adapt them into a spy company, and even expand them into a reinforced company. Like the guard company, they are equipped with heavy machine guns and mortars."

"But there is a requirement: our National Salvation Army has no mountain, and all troops must strictly implement the regiment headquarters' orders. Whether it is the main company or the main battalion, it cannot be like Tietong, and water cannot be poured into it."

"So after the garrison company is reorganized into the spy company, the regiment headquarters will send a deputy company commander and two platoon leaders in, and the garrison company will also send two platoon leaders and a deputy company commander, otherwise others will think whose private army the spy company is!"

Zhou Cheng's idea was clearer: the National Salvation Army accepted the garrison company and could also expand the garrison company into a strengthening company, but in exchange, the garrison company must also accept the regiment headquarters mixed with sand into the team...

Yuan Shushan thought for a while and agreed.

After the garrison company was expanded into a reinforced company, there was a company commander, two deputy company commanders, and four platoon leaders. The regiment commander only had one of the deputy company commanders and two platoon leaders, and there was one company commander and one deputy company commander. The two platoon leaders were still their own people. In time, they could still develop the adapted spy company into their own confidant troops.

Moreover, the garrison company was expanded into a spy company that strengthened the company's organization, and this bait was very attractive to Yuan Shushan.

In the National Salvation Army, the combat effectiveness of a strengthening company can almost match the two main companies of ordinary troops. If you agree to the regiment commander's proposal, it means that you will suddenly have two more companies, and your back will definitely be stronger in the National Salvation Army in the future.

After Yuan Shushan left the regiment headquarters with full of expectations, Zhou Cheng immediately turned his attention to Tang Yufeng: "Old Tang, you can choose the candidates for the deputy company commander and two platoon commanders!"

"After the garrison company was expanded into a strengthening company, the company commander was at the deputy battalion level, the deputy company commander was at the company level, and the platoon commander was at the deputy company level. These three cadres assigned to the spy company must be like three seeds. They not only need to gain a foothold in the spy company, but also find ways to take root and sprout."

"Once the company commander of the garrison company cannot be used by the regiment headquarters, they can take over the spy company in the shortest time, and it cannot affect the combat effectiveness of the spy company."

"Especially the candidate for deputy company commander, he is likely to be the future company commander of the spy company. He must be from the old Red Army. He must be able to fight and do ideological work for the soldiers."

Tang Yufeng nodded and took the order: "Don't worry, leader, I will definitely choose these three people!"

Zhou Cheng is still very satisfied with Tang Yufeng's partner. Although he is a political worker, he is not rigid and knows how to adapt. More importantly, he can support himself and trust him unconditionally.

After thinking for a while, he continued: "The 79-caliber weapon seized by the anti-sweep last time, the supporting ammunition and the weapons and ammunition intercepted by the arsenal can form two regiments, all of which are scattered in our defense zone. If one is exposed, it will be a big loss."

"In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I suggest sending these weapons and ammunition to the division headquarters as soon as possible and handing them over to the troops in need, so that their value can be realized."

Tang Yufeng immediately intervened: "I agree, especially the hundreds of thousands of bullets seized from the arsenal."

"Our Eighth Route Army not only has poor equipment, but also has very shortage of ammunition. Many main forces can only divide each soldier into five bullets when fighting Japanese soldiers. If hundreds of thousands of bullets are sent up, it will definitely solve the urgent needs of many troops."

"But the number of weapons and ammunition is a bit too high. I calculated it: there are more than 2,000 rifles alone, and more than 30 Czech-made. Some of them were seized by us on the battlefield and some were seized from the arsenal. All of them were more than 600,000 rounds. I also wanted to send another thousand mortar shells and five thousand grenades to increase their ability to attack. If all of them were transported by mules and horses, three hundred were not enough, so we must consider how to transport them!"

Zhou Cheng frowned, but it stretched out quickly.

It is indeed difficult for the National Salvation Army to send so many weapons and ammunition to the division headquarters at one time, but it is much easier on the other hand.

These weapons and ammunition will definitely be issued to the troops as soon as possible after they arrive at the division headquarters. Since this is the case, the troops that need weapons can be directly rescued and the military equipment will be obtained.

The equipment of one regiment and one battalion was transported back to his own troops. The equipment of the two regiments was like a bowl of water scattered into the sea, unable to stir up any waves, nor would it attract the attention of the Japanese.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that this method is better than sending weapons and ammunition directly to the division headquarters.

Zhou Cheng immediately told his plan and asked Tang Yufeng and Chen Zhengyu to check for omissions.

Tang Yufeng was very cautious. After listening to Zhou Cheng's proposal, he found a problem and frowned and reminded: "Captain, this can indeed reduce transportation risks, avoid attracting the attention of Japanese people, and reduce the risk of accidents."

"But another problem will also arise: there must be a lot of troops coming to transport weapons and ammunition, with many people and eyes. The news of our sending weapons and ammunition to the Eighth Route Army will inevitably be leaked. If the war zone knows, will it be a bit unworthy of the loss!"

"This problem is easy to solve!" Zhou Cheng was also thinking about this question and answered immediately.

"We first divide these weapons and ammunition, hide them at the pre-determined response point, and then we will not show up, so that the two guerrilla squadrons operating in the north of Punishment will come forward to hand over these weapons and ammunition."

"In addition, aren't we going to fight a war in the near future and take the opportunity to bring back the weapons and ammunition seized by the arsenal? We can let the surrounding Eighth Route Army transport weapons and ammunition during the war, which will make it more concealed."

Tang Yufeng nodded, thought for another two minutes, confirmed that there were no other loopholes in the entire plan and replied: "Then let's do it! Draft a telegram to the division headquarters as soon as possible, and ask the division headquarters to formulate an allocation plan. Then we can divide the weapons and ammunition in advance, hide it, and wait for each unit to transport weapons and ammunition themselves."

The division headquarters is stationed in a small village deep in the Taihang Mountains. It is rarely visited by people around and it is difficult to find by Japanese and puppet military spies.

In the heavily guarded telecommunications room, there was a radio station that had been ringing for almost ten minutes and had not stopped yet.

After the radio operator filled another telegram paper, he finally put down his headphones, first sorted out the three pieces of paper with the telegram code in his hand, and then reported to the communications staff behind him: "Staff Officer Wang, this is an encrypted telegram, which needs to be translated by the leader himself!"

Two minutes later, three telegrams appeared in the Chief of Staff, holding a pen in one hand and a codebook in the other hand to translate one word. Twenty minutes later, all the telegrams of hundreds of words were translated out.

After quickly reading the content of the telegram and confirming that there was no problem, the Chief of Staff suddenly showed a smile from the bottom of his heart on his serious face. He was very happy to report: "Teacher Commander, Political Commissar, good news, great news!"

"In order to help the national rescue army repel the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, we dispatched a large number of main troops and local troops to cooperate in combat, and each unit had achieved considerable results. However, as the Japanese and puppet troops failed to sweep the raid, they began to concentrate their forces and turn around to attack us, and the situation began to reverse, and the participating troops paid some price to the point of paying!"

"I was still thinking at the time that even if Zhou Cheng repelled the attack of the Japanese and puppet troops, they would suffer heavy casualties and would not be able to support the surrounding Eighth Route Army troops."

"I thought I underestimated Zhou Cheng again and underestimated the National Salvation Army."

"The National Salvation Army not only did not suffer heavy casualties, but instead fought harder and stronger, but also captured a large number of weapons and ammunition."

"In order to express his gratitude to the Eighth Route Army troops that have reinforced them, Zhou Cheng was preparing to take out a large amount of weapons and ammunition to compensate for their losses. There is a list of weapons and ammunition on it: two regiments of pier guns, I really don't know where he got so many weapons and ammunition from, and he was so generous, and he would give it as soon as he said he could, and he didn't feel heartbroken at all!"

After saying that, the Chief of Staff handed the telegram to the shocked division commander...

"More than 2,100 caliber rifles of seventy-nine caliber... Thirty-two Czech-made, and nearly 600,000 machine gun bullets, one thousand shells, five thousand grenades... How could there be so many weapons and ammunition? Could it be that they were shooting a Japanese arsenal?" The division commander's eyes widened when he saw the numbers on it, and he sighed while reciting.

After finishing, his brow frowned into a big river: "No, the quantity of these weapons and ammunition is incorrect!"

"Even if Zhou Cheng captured Pingding City, the National Salvation Army would not have seized so many 79-caliber bullets!"

The political commissar also showed an expression of agreement and replied very seriously: "It's really something wrong!"

"The total number of puppet troops that attacked the National Salvation Army was not two thousand. Even if the National Salvation Army wiped them out, they could only seize more than one thousand rifles."

"The number of light machine guns is not right. Although the equipment of the puppet army is better than ours, the Japanese have always been very cautious about them and rarely give them weight weapons. Generally speaking, an infantry company will only build a Czech Republic."

"More than a thousand puppet troops can be equipped with seventeen, and eight Czech Republic will be good."

"The amount of ammunition is even more wrong. Usually, we can only seize less than twenty bullets of a puppet army by capturing it."

"There are less than 2,000 puppet troops attacking the National Salvation Army. Even if Zhou Cheng seized all the spare ammunition of these puppet troops, a gun would not exceed fifty rounds."

"So the 79-caliber bullets seized by the anti-sweeping and national-salvage army should not exceed 100,000, and maybe there would be no 80,000!"

The division commander and political commissar are worthy of being veterans on the battlefield and have rich combat experience.

Although he did not go to the battlefield, the capture of the National Salvation Army on the battlefield can be analyzed through the enemy's troops and experience.

The result was indeed as they analyzed, reducing the battlefield losses. The National Salvation Army only seized 1,340 79-caliber rifles, more than ten Czech-made ones, and less than 70,000 79-caliber bullets.

The remaining weapons and ammunition were obtained from the arsenal by Zhou Cheng beating the grass and fighting rabbits.

The division commander and political commissar did not know about this, so they became suspicious.
