I'm killing enemies with my sword and exploding equipment

Chapter 846 Guns are more valuable than gold

Tan Bo, Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang were locked in the room and talked from morning to night.

Finally, the situations in all aspects were synchronized with each other.

The next morning, he took a few guards with him, got on the three-wheeled vehicle driven by Duan Peng and his team, and headed for Heyuan County.

……

The road from Zhaojiayu to Heyuan County is not easy to travel.

So their speed was not fast, but even so, Tan Bo still felt very surprised.

Sitting in the sidecar of this brown three-wheeler is much more comfortable than riding a horse!

And just as Li Yunlong said, there were no problems along the way.

When he arrived in Heyuan County, Tan Bo felt that he had learned a lot.

The soldiers in gray uniforms standing guard on the city wall and the people bustling around the city gates all made him feel that it was too unreal! !

Even if our other troops captured a county town, they would usually give it up quickly.

He had never heard of or seen a unit like the one in northwestern Shanxi that could openly occupy a county as large as Heyuan County for a long time.

How can I not be overwhelmed with excitement?
……

Seeing their three-wheeled vehicle approaching, the sentries at the city gate naturally surrounded them to inquire about the situation.

Duan Peng got out of the car and greeted them, and they waved and let him go.

Sitting in a sidecar tricycle into the city, Tan Bo suddenly felt as if he had turned into a Japanese officer and could not help but shrink his head.

He was afraid that a bullet would fly from somewhere and kill him in the car.

——He has done this many times with his soldiers!

As if sensing his thoughts, Duan Peng, who was riding his bike, couldn't help but smile and said:
"Captain Tan, don't be afraid.

We have occupied Heyuan County for a long time, and the Japanese and traitors have been cleared out, so there will be no danger."

Tan Bo couldn't help but smile awkwardly when he heard this, and asked curiously:

"Who is in charge of this county now?"

"Of course it's our local comrades.

The troops in the city are mainly the New 1st Regiment and a small part of our Guards Regiment."

Duan Peng replied.

"New group?
Is Captain Ding Weiding also in the city?"

Tan Bo was a little excited. Ding Wei was also his old comrade-in-arms. It would be nice if he could meet him.

"I don't know that."

Duan Peng shook his head.

……

After a while, the three-wheeled truck drove into a military camp in the city.

This used to be the Japanese army camp, but now it is naturally occupied by our army and serves as the barracks for the Heyuan County guard force.

Duan Peng went in to investigate and then came back to report to Tan Bo:

"Captain Tan, Commander Ding of the New 1st Regiment is not in the city. He said he went to the other troops.

I asked where exactly they were going, and they said they didn’t know.”

"All right.

Then take me to see the equipment. After seeing the equipment, we will quickly go to Qixia Town."

Tan Bo felt a little regretful that he couldn't see Ding Wei, but business was more important now, so he didn't care too much.

"Yes!"

Duan Peng agreed and took him towards the warehouse.

……

After a while, Tan Bo saw mountains of equipment in the warehouse.

The Type 38 rifle, light and heavy machine guns, Type 92 infantry gun, and grenade launchers are all good stuff that are at least 80% new!
This scene made him look at Li Yunlong with admiration.

I was still muttering in my heart: The brigade commander said that this guy would definitely not give me good equipment, so I must be careful and not be fooled by him.

Now it seems that the brigade commander was wrong!

Thinking of this, Tan Bo carefully checked all the weapons.

I was completely relieved when I found out that there was indeed no problem.

I thought to myself: This bastard’s awareness has really improved a lot after his promotion!

Then he said to Duan Peng with emotion:

"Platoon Leader Duan, it seems that you in Northwest Shanxi have really made a fortune.

Li Yunlong, this damned bastard, is actually so honest and gives me such good equipment. "

Duan Peng asked innocently:
“Is this equipment amazing?

After the battle, Commander Yang of the Special Forces Regiment didn’t even look at these equipment.”

Hearing this, Tan Bo was speechless.

He quickly asked curiously:

"You said that the Special Forces Regiment did not participate in the distribution of the spoils after the battle?"

"Yes!"

As Li Yunlong's bodyguard, Duan Peng has always been by his side.

Naturally, we also know that, except for a small portion that was distributed to the New 1st and 2nd Regiments, most of the spoils of the battle in Hedi Village were brought back to Heyuan County by Zhao Gang and his men, and after being counted and sorted, they were stored here.

The special forces regiment didn't even ask for a single gun.

“Good fellow, if they don’t want spoils after the battle, then where do they get all their equipment from?

There are always losses in battle, right? "

Tan Bo's mind was full of question marks.

"I don't know about that." Duan Peng scratched his head honestly.

"Let's go to Qixia Town and take a look!"

Tan Bo was a little impatient. He felt that this special forces regiment was shrouded in mystery.

"Yes!"

……

You can take Zhengtai Road to get from Heyuan County to Qixia Town.

After being renovated by the Japanese, this road became relatively wide and flat.

So Duan Peng and others drove a sidecar on the road, and their speed was much faster than before.

It took them less than four hours to cross Kutaoao and see Hedi Village in the distance.

At this time, they noticed that in the distance ahead, there seemed to be a team heading eastward.

……

Time goes back to yesterday. In Qixia Town, Yang Yuanshan woke up and it was already night.

After he got up and washed his face, Zhang Xiaohe brought him dinner.

While Yang Yuanshan arranged for people to call the battalion and regiment-level cadres in the regiment to a meeting, he quickly finished dinner.

About half an hour later, Zhan Haishan, Zhou Xianpei, Han Yang, Gao Yuanzhi, Feng Shuanglin and Zhao Li all arrived.

Yang Yuanshan took a quick look and knew that those who had not come were probably outside.

He didn't ask any more questions, but said:

"Comrades, when I returned to my hometown this time, the leaders praised our regiment highly.

This is a commendation document for us, Lao Zhou, please read it to everyone."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Zhou Xianpei.

Zhou Xianpei took the envelope, opened it and read aloud.

Listening to his reading, everyone present was very excited.

These days, everyone's desire for honor is far greater than weapons, equipment and supplies.

Everyone felt relieved to receive the commendation from the leader.

When he finished reading the letter, everyone applauded loudly and looked so excited that they wanted to find some Japanese devils to fight with them immediately.

So that the leaders can see that their commendation is not wrong.

Yang Yuanshan looked calm. He stretched out his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then briefly recounted his experience during his time in his hometown.

Synchronize the overall direction above with everyone else.

Then he asked:

"I have not been in the group for a while, so let's talk about the situation in the group.

Lao Zhou, you come first. How is the food situation?"

Zhou Xianpei nodded and answered immediately:

“During this period, we obtain food in two ways.

The first was that the various troops launched extensive attacks, harassing the Japanese's artillery towers, strongholds, and transportation lines, and seized a large amount of food, weapons and ammunition.

The second is to purchase through channels.

All the merchants, big and small, near Qixia Town knew that we were purchasing grain on a large scale, and they all sent us some, more or less.

In addition, the New 358th and New 7th Regiments of the 8th Brigade also sent us food twice.

Our current food reserves can support the field hospital and our entire regiment for 15 to 20 days.

If you eat sparingly, you can get by for a month."

“Okay, good!

Lao Zhou, your work is very effective!"

Yang Yuanshan nodded repeatedly.

The troops can only be combat-ready if they are well fed.

When he returned to his hometown this time, he found that life there was also very difficult, and the food eaten by the leaders was much worse than that of the special forces group.

This made him feel a sense of crisis, and he immediately confessed:
“Old Zhou, don’t stop purchasing food.

If we can’t finish it, we can store it in caves. Who knows, we may need to support other troops or even our hometown in the future.”

“Is it difficult back home too?
Didn’t they say before that my hometown was mobilizing troops to engage in production? "

Zhou Xianpei asked curiously.

"yes!
The people from the National Company surrounded the hometown base and restricted the entry and exit of personnel and materials, so the leaders had no choice but to tighten their belts and live frugally.

Although we are investing all our manpower and material resources in food production, the land in my hometown is barren and we are still far from being self-sufficient.”

Yang Yuanshan explained.

"I see.

But Captain, there is something I need to tell you."

Zhou Xianpei's face was solemn.

"what's going on?"

Not only Yang Yuanshan was curious, everyone else present was also staring at Zhou Xianpei.

“Except for a few small merchants who chose to accept payment in gold, silver or dollars, most of those who came to sell us food asked for weapons and equipment.

For example, today, Liu Chengan was traded for more than 200 Type 1 rifles and rounds of ammunition. "

Zhou Xianpei replied.

"Good fellow, you know that guns are more valuable than gold!"

Yang Yuanshan smiled slightly!
