Deputy Regiment Commander Tang Yufeng has been guarding the gap that the troops had just opened on the blockade line.

From 2 a.m., it has become extremely busy.

The first thing I waited for was the twelve vehicles of the weapons and ammunition of the car transport team. In less than two hours, the carts of the logistics team began to appear.

The cars were filled with food and other supplies, one after another, constantly crossing the blockade line and entering the defense zone.

From four in the morning to seven in the morning, all the large number of large-scale supplies and carts entered the defense zone.

But this does not mean that the transportation operation is over.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, another transportation team appeared at the end of the official road, which was sent back by the 10th Company of the Fourth Battalion.

Last night, they raided three traitors and seized more than 100,000 kilograms of grain. In addition to the people, a total of 40,000 kilograms of grain and other materials were transported back, forming a convoy of thirty large trucks...

At around twelve o'clock noon, the regiment commander Zhou Chengcai brought the Guard Company and the Special Service Company to escort the last batch of spoils seized in Pingding County back to the defense zone.

The 10th and 11th companies that operated independently also returned to the defense zone within the next hour.

"Captain, our warehouse is almost impossible to load!" This is the first thing Tang Yufeng said after seeing Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng smiled and asked, "Old Tang, don't you think we have seized too much spoils and don't want them?"

Tang Yufeng quickly shook his head: "Of course not, I was scared by the spoils you seized!"

"I didn't expect that a single city of Pingding can seize so many weapons, ammunition and supplies, which is at least five times more than the spoils we seized in Xiyang."

Zhou Cheng refused to say anything: "That's for sure."

"I only realized that the Japanese were preparing for our future attacks."

"At least 60% of the food, supplies, weapons and ammunition seized by the troops from pacification do not belong to the pacification garrison, and was prepared in advance by the Japanese military brigade command to attack us in the future."

Tang Yufeng was shocked and immediately replied: "Then it's even more time for us to attack and pacify the county."

"Snatch the supplies, weapons and ammunition that the Japanese were preparing to attack us. If they want to continue attacking us, they can only mobilize supplies to the front line again. It is not only troublesome, but also takes time."

"Then we have more rest and preparation time."

Zhou Cheng nodded and immediately asked the most critical question: "I only know that we have gained a lot in pacification, but I don't know how much materials, weapons and ammunition were seized. Lao Tang, you should know it in your mind, tell us quickly!"

Tang Yufeng nodded: "I will count a truck of supplies when I come back from Pingding County. The specific list came out half an hour ago."

"This time, the biggest harvest was food, followed by ammunition, followed by funds, and finally other supplies in the patron."

"Pingding City sent back a total of 98 trucks of grain? It is equivalent to 200,000 kilograms of millet, 50,000 kilograms of white flour? 100,000 kilograms of rice? 100,000 kilograms of rice? If nothing unexpected happens, those rice should be prepared for the Japanese."

"All weapons and ammunition were brought back by cars? A total of twenty-four cars, including two mountain cannons? Four mortars? Eight heavy machine guns, 16 light machine guns, 896 rifles, and thirty-two pistols? Nearly half of the athletic machine guns and pistols were seized by the troops in the siege battle? All the remaining weapons came from the puncture arsenal."

"In addition to the ammunition seized on the battlefield, there are nearly 900,000 rounds of six or five caliber machine guns, 320,000 rounds of seven or nine caliber machine guns, 100,000 rounds of heavy machine guns, 1,200 rounds of mountain cannons? 300 rounds of infantry cannons and 3,500 rounds of mortar cannons?     There are more than 22,000 grenades and grenades, and 800 landmines were seized? 2,000 kilograms of strong explosives..."

"The ocean and gold were mainly seized from the traitors in the city. There were 11,538 yuan in total? 12,000 yuan in gold and gold and silver jewelry worth 12,000 yuan."

"What remains are some miscellaneous supplies? Including 4,500 sets of winter clothes? 600 sets of gas masks, 135 boxes of canned food, and 18 barrels of gasoline..."

"The 10th Company of the Fourth Battalion and the 11th Company each sent back two batches of spoils, including 190,000 kilograms of grain, 1,158 yuan of oceans, worth 2,400 yuan of oceans of gold, and other thirty-six trucks."

"Of course, their real seizures are much more than what they send back, especially the food. Most of the seizures are distributed to local people."

Zhou Cheng nodded repeatedly when he heard this, his mouth was so happy that he could not close. He was excited and nervously ordered: "Old Tang, no matter what method you use, I must hide all the spoils we sent back within three days to prevent the Japanese from dispatching planes to blow up the treasures we had worked hard to seize."

"All participating troops returned to their bases, strengthened their vigilance, and were ready to welcome the Japanese's revenge at any time."

"Immediately notify other attacking troops and hand over the regiment headquarters as soon as the spoil is sent back to the defense zone. The attacking troops will return to the team immediately and prepare for combat."

"The Japanese are famous for revenge. After suffering such a big loss this time, they will definitely find a way to take revenge."

Located in Tangjiaao, north of Pingding County, dozens of Japanese and puppet troops were staring at the only way out to enter the mountain.

They broke through the spy company by chance. Although they had escaped, they still had a strong expression of worry on their faces, because the backbone of the pacification garrison, the backbone of the pacification garrison, had not come to meet with them.

"Someone has entered the mountain!"

A sentry hiding on the treetops reminded me that more than ten minutes later, seven or eight figures appeared at the end of the mountain road and hurried towards everyone.

As the figures got closer and closer, the Japanese hiding here could finally see their military uniforms clearly, the only team leader left in the team shouted excitedly: "It's the team leader, I saw him... The team leader broke through, we can save the garrison!"

Major Asakawa met with everyone five minutes later. Looking at his subordinates with less than forty people around him, he was so heartbroken that he couldn't say a word, and he couldn't feel the joy and glory of successfully breaking through.

In the end, the team leader broke the depressing atmosphere: "Sir, plus the seven imperial troops you just brought over, we have 26 imperial troops and eleven imperial assistant troops left. What should we do next? Please give orders!"

"Warriors..." Major Asakawa knew that everyone's hope was on him, and everyone could be anxious, but he could not do it. He took a deep breath and answered.

"Although we were repeatedly raided by the Eighth Route Army on the way to retreat, and the troops suffered heavy casualties, and the county town was not known what was going on, but as long as someone was alive, there would be a chance to rebuild the garrison."

"There are ten imperial troops who successfully broke through with me. I have sent three people to the county town to investigate the enemy situation and should be back soon."

"Everyone hurry up and wait until the investigation troops come back before deciding what to do next?"

Three Japanese arrived at Tangjiaao an hour later and brought back one to say whether it was bad or not.

"Sir, Pingding City was captured in the early morning of last night, and then the National Rescue Army began to use cars and big trucks to go east to transport spoils. When we arrived at Pingding, we happened to see them evacuate from the county town."

"Although the city gate is open and there are no soldiers of the National Salvation Army patrolling the city, Bei Zhi was worried that there would be ambush in the city, so he did not dare to conduct investigations. He probably learned about the situation and rushed here."

Based on Major Asakawa's understanding of the National Salvation Army, 80% of the pacification city was empty.

The National Salvation Army was too cunning and only took advantage of the war without losing. He returned to the town east to transport supplies, weapons and ammunition from the county town for half a night, and must have emptied Pingding City.

After the benefits are taken away, pacification is a waste of money for the national rescue army. Instead of dividing troops to defend and wasting precious troops, it is better to give up directly.

Decisively ordered: "The county town must be empty. The troops gathered immediately and set off in five minutes to pacify..."

Walking into Pingding City, where the city gates are wide open, the streets are empty and there is not a single figure.

After entering the city, Major Asakawa was the first to rush to the arsenal, where he reserved a large number of weapons and ammunition for the brigade commander to attack the National Rescue Army in the future.

It is definitely impossible to save it. He only hopes that the left-behind troops can blow up the arsenal before they are completely wiped out, so that those ammunitions will not fall into the hands of the National Salvation Army. Otherwise, the thousands of shells in the ammunition warehouse alone will be enough for the Imperial Army to drink a pot.

Disappointed that the arsenal was not at all blown up. When I walked in, I saw several pale corpses piled up in the corners of the wall. Each warehouse was completely moved, leaving no bullet for me.

"Go to the grain warehouse..." Major Asagawa was not giving up and rushed to another warehouse a few hundred meters away.

Like the arsenal, there was not even a grain of rice left for me in the huge warehouse.

At this time, the only surviving squad leader of the garrison hurried over: "Sir, someone outside wants to see you, it seems that he is the deputy county magistrate of Pingding County we appointed before."

"Bring him in..." Major Asagawa was very anxious to order.

He only learned from his subordinates that the National Salvation Army captured Pingding in the early morning of last night, retreated in the morning, and then emptied all the weapons, ammunition and food in the city. He did not know what they did in Pingding City?

The deputy county magistrate who suddenly arrived should be able to resolve his inner doubts.

"Tajun...you must make the decision for us!" As soon as the deputy county magistrate ran in, he reported to Major Asakawa with a sad face.

"The National Salvation Army was too cruel. Not only did it occupy the county town, but it killed all the imperial army in the city, robbed all the weapons, ammunition and food, but it also killed many Chinese people who worked for the imperial army..."

"The county magistrate and police chief, all died, several guards were killed, and all their property was taken away, leaving only the wife, children, widows and an empty house, and there was no food to eat."

"I reacted quickly and hid before the National Rescue Army arrested people. Although the person was not dead, all the things in the house were also snatched. Taijun, you must help us make the decision to regain the food and finances that the National Rescue Army snatched from us, otherwise we will even have a problem with eating..."

Major Asakawa was thunderous.

Ordinary Japanese officers looked down on these Chinese people who worked for the Imperial Army and thought that they would die if they died, and it didn't matter.

As the captain of the garrison and the well-deserved local emperor of the Punishing Castle, Major Asakawa is very clear about the importance of these Chinese people.

To put it bluntly, these Chinese people cannot do without the support of the Imperial Army, and the Imperial Army cannot do without their cooperation.
