Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 431 Chapter 430, you better stay here!
"Look, I will lead more than 100 elite soldiers all the way south, then bypass Heshun County, penetrate to the right wing of the New th Brigade, and launch an attack on the flank of the Japanese. This way, we can support the New th Brigade's blocking battle! Then, if the Japanese pursue us, we will fight and retreat at the same time, fight and leave quickly! If we encounter the Japanese artillery positions, we can also bombard them with mortars!"

Li Yuexuan briefly explained his battle plan, but Zhu Xingyu smiled mysteriously and said, "You'd better stay here! Here, this is the new order from the division and brigade!"

As he was talking, a translated telegram was placed in Li Yuexuan's hand, which immediately deflated Li Yuexuan's brewing emotions.

"Order..." Li Yuexuan's frustrated mood improved after reading the content of the order: "Headquarters transferred me to the arsenal? What happened again?"

Of course, Li Yuexuan was thinking this sentence silently in his heart and did not ask it out loud, because no one could answer him even if he asked it.

"I have finished reading the transfer order. How do I get there?" Li Yuexuan looked at Zhu Xingyu.

"During this period of time, I have contacted the team headquarters through the radio station of the first division. This time, you are going to the headquarters arsenal. Our team has decided to arrange for the first company to go with you, and the special operations team will also go with you!" Zhu Xingyu gave a direct answer here: "The special operations team can play a big role only when they follow you, and the first company is also your safety guarantee as you go south!"

"Of course, we can't just leave this time. We need to bring the latest bulletproof shields and technical data, and 60 assault rifles. At the same time, we also need to send you over safely!"

"Okay, I will definitely complete the task! How do you arrange these captured items?" Li Yuexuan asked another practical question.

"These captured items? Haha..." Zhu Xingyu smiled and said, "We have no shortage of guns and ammunition. We will probably give them to the comrades in the newly formed Xiyang County Brigade, and some of the ammunition will also be given to them! And most of the bullets are ours, and so are the canned food and other things! As for these two big guns... our brigade commander is probably talking to the commander of the first division at this moment!"

"Uh... probably so! These are two mountain cannons. Our brigade commander dreams of having an artillery regiment, and he doesn't want to give up this! But the First Division is also our mother's home, and Commander Qin doesn't want to give up these two mountain cannons... Forget it, let them divide it..." Li Yuexuan imagined the scene of the two people fighting for the mountain cannon and continued: "Then let's take a break!"

It was noon, and there was heat rising from the woods and fragrance wafting in the air. The guerrillas, who had been eating marching rations for five days, finally had a hot meal thanks to the busy work of the kitchen team.

It’s no wonder that the monks in Pule Temple actually had some supplies. In addition to hiding some female donors, they also hid a lot of grain and vegetables, enough for the monks to eat for several years.

Now, the female donor has been rescued, and the monks have been buried. The food stored by the monks has become the guerrillas' spoils. The monks' pots, pans, chopsticks, plates and bowls are just for the female donors. How will these girls captured by the monks live in the future? But this is not something Li Yuexuan needs to consider.

The guerrillas had a normal lunch with white rice and a big pot of canned meat. Of course, this was another real test for the new recruits who had just experienced a growth experience! After all, they had just had close contact with all kinds of parts of the devils, and it was really hard for them to eat the food...

Time flies, another day and night has passed, and no one knows what is happening on the battlefield in the south.
What everyone knows is that the Pule Temple was bombed by a bomber from the Japanese, and several bombs were dropped on the surrounding mountains. This was probably a revenge action by the Japanese. However, most of the bombers flew over our heads like a flock of birds, flying towards the battlefield in the south... "Alas, we have no way to deal with these flying in the sky!" Looking at a reconnaissance plane flying quietly past, Li Yuexuan sighed inwardly, knowing that this matter was not something he could solve.

The Eighth Route Army does not have its own bullet production capacity, which is the biggest shortcoming! Although the guerrillas have no shortage of ammunition, and are even extremely rich, this is just an exception! Looking at the entire army, with 40 troops, bullets are extremely scarce! For example, today's seizure, the combat ammunition of 1000 devils and three spare ammunition, this is more than 40 rounds of bullets.

That's a lot, right? Each soldier gets one round! Otherwise, why do you say the Japanese are hard to fight? The gap in ammunition is not so easy to make up!
After a day and a night of waiting, the guerrillas finally got a company, as well as the civilians recruited by Zhao Danian from various places and the comrades from the Xiyang County Brigade. Then, the guns and ammunition were distributed, and the remaining ammunition and food were loaded onto the car by the family members, ready to be taken back to the base.

As for the two mountain cannons, it seems that the First Division won the victory and they were accepted by the comrades of the Xiyang County Brigade, who said they would be sent to the military sub-district.

After completing all the handovers, Li Yuexuan said goodbye to Zhu Xingyu, gave a quick briefing to Zhao Danian, and then led the special forces team and the first company to the south.

Looking at the gradually receding figure, Zhao Danian and Zhu Xingyu looked at each other, then turned around at the same time and headed towards Liangjia Village.

"Even though we have one company missing, we still have three reinforced main companies, which are enough to deal with the next Japanese raids!" Zhao Danian started talking on the way.

"We have five mortars, twelve heavy machine guns, and so many weapons and ammunition that we are not afraid of the enemy's raids! But, when we go back this time, should we continue the recruitment work? Last year's recruits have become qualified veterans after this battle, and it's time to expand the army again! How about recruiting 5 soldiers this time? With a total strength of 12 people, how about the size of a regiment?"

"You are the captain, you have the final say! We can afford to support and train 400 new recruits, and then expand them by two companies, and then improve the other organizations and everything will be fine!" said Zhu Xingyu.

"What do you think? Should we have a battalion unit? Or should we just strengthen the company? A company has about 160 people, and then a company can take a village as the center and protect the safety of several surrounding villages! This will also make command much more convenient!" Zhao Danian continued to ask.

"That's it! The third and fourth companies performed well this time, which shows that there is no problem with our training and education! Add two more companies and we will have a brigade of six companies, which is very good."

"Well, the artillery platoon can probably be upgraded to an artillery company. We just need to capture one more mortar. With a total of six mortars, we can have a mortar company!"

"That's good. Mortars are still very useful..." The voices of discussion became lower and lower as the footsteps went away, and finally disappeared in the wind...
