A few minutes later, Wang Tieshan ran over with an account book, his face full of smiles, happier than eating honey. He ran and reported: "Captain, the weapon list was found, and he was indeed in the garrison company commander's room!"

"The above records are very clear: the weapons and ammunition that have been transported away are reduced, and there are four mountain cannons, two mortars, a heavy machine gun, a hundred 79-caliber rifles, five Czech-made, thirty submachine guns, and ten twenty-shot box cannons!"

"There are a little more ammunition: there are 1,500 mountain cannon shells, 5,000 mortar shells, 5,000 heavy machine gun bullets, 450,000 sport machine gun bullets, 20,000 pistol bullets, 50,000 submachine gun bullets, 20,000 grenades, and 2,000 kilograms of explosives."

"In addition to these weapons and ammunition, there is also a warehouse that stocks about 20,000 kilograms of grain and a thousand sets of quilts. The grain is prepared for the garrison company, and the quilts are used for backup!"

"Captain, we have made a lot of money in this operation. If we transport all the mountain cannons, mortars, heavy machine guns, submachine guns, box cannons, as well as supporting ammunition and grenades, we can not only directly expand the artillery company into a veritable artillery battalion, but our ammunition reserves can also be further improved, enough to support the troops in fighting several major battles!"

Zhou Cheng was also very happy and quickly ordered: "Don't be too happy too early. At present, he is just occupying the arsenal. Only by transporting all your treasures back to the National Rescue Military Defense Zone can we become our own!"

"Contact company 1 and cavalry companies right away, why haven't they come here yet!"

"The guards of the defensive arsenal will come back the morning after tomorrow. We must move all the seizures before this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of rapid footsteps came from the entrance of the cave.

The first company commander Xiang Feng and the cavalry company commander Tao Yongsheng appeared together in front of Zhou Cheng.

"Reporting to the regiment commander: Cavalry Company, the first company is ordered to report, please instruct!"

"Don't be so serious!"

Zhou Cheng waved his hand and smiled and introduced: "We won a big victory here tonight and we have a great harvest. Your mission is to transport all the remaining supplies and weapons and bullets in the arsenal to a secret cave I found last night!"

"The cavalry company temporarily changed to a baggage company, unload all the saddles, and use war horses to help transport weapons and ammunition. The speed must be fast!

The cavalry company brought a total of 150 war horses, each carrying 300 kilograms of weight, and could transport 45,000 kilograms of things at a time.

However, the ammunition depot has a total of more than 200,000 kilograms of various ammunitions alone, and tens of thousands of kilograms of weapons and grain. At least seven times of transportation back and forth can the arsenal be empty. Everyone's action time is only one day and one night, so they must be rushed, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the task.

The huge arsenal immediately became lively.

In order to increase the speed of transportation, the company took action. In a group of two soldiers, the runner sent the weapons and ammunition from the warehouse outside the cave, and then the soldiers of the cavalry company were fixed to the horse's back.

After tied up a war horse and walked, after reaching the secret cave chosen by Zhou Cheng, he unloaded his weapons and ammunition and started returning, preparing for the second transportation!

The garrison company commander who rushed to the receiving point did not know that the arsenal had changed hands, and was handing over the weapons and ammunition sent to the transfer point in two times with the national security guard company.

After watching the guard company leave, he first led the troops to rest at the receiving point for a day, and then led the troops toward the arsenal after dark.

At four o'clock in the morning, they were still three kilometers away from the arsenal. As long as the troops answered the arsenal safely, the task given to him by Deputy Commander Yuan was completed.

There has never been a Japanese and puppet army reconnaissance force here so there is almost no possibility of accidents in the subsequent march.

With this idea, the garrison company commander walked with great confidence. The closer he was to the arsenal, the more relaxed his expression on his face, and his smile became stronger and stronger. It seemed that he had already won.

"Boom..."

An explosion suddenly came from the direction of the arsenal. The garrison commander looked up and saw a huge ball of fire rising into the air at the arsenal. Half of the sky was dyed red by it, followed by thick black smoke rolling straight into the sky, which looked particularly scary!

The good mood of the garrison company commander disappeared immediately.

For more than half a year, the company commander wandered around the arsenal whenever he had time and observed the terrain, so no one knew better about the situation around the arsenal than him.

Just a glance at the place where the fireballs and black smoke rose, he determined that something was wrong with the arsenal.

I was very anxious to order: "The army ran forward and immediately returned to the arsenal. It seemed that something happened there..."

When we rushed back to the arsenal, a large hole had been blown out of the mountain where the arsenal was located, and black smoke was still coming out.

The company commander's legs immediately became weak. If the guard hadn't responded quickly and immediately supported him, the company commander would have fallen to the ground.

After a while, he realized, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Check... and find out who is doing this for me right away!"

"There are also several guards who stayed in the arsenal. What did they eat? Why didn't anyone warn in advance to lure the enemies who attacked the arsenal to other places."

"Find them out for me too, and you will see people in your life and corpses in your life!"

More than ten minutes later, six guards who were still tied into rice dumplings were found one after another, all standing in front of the company commander, showing a panic-like expression of fear.

"Can anyone tell me how the arsenal was blown up, who was the culprit, how you were tied up, why didn't you resist..." The company commander was anxious to find the culprit, and like a bamboo tube poured beans, he asked a series of questions.

The guard squad leader mustered up his courage to stand up and report: "Company Commander, it's a bandit who did it..."

"They are very good at it and must have practiced Kung Fu. Before we could resist, we were covered our mouths, removed our weapons, and then tied them into rice dumplings. We had no chance to resist!"

"After capturing us they started searching the valley, then found the arsenal, and removed a large number of weapons and ammunition under the cover of night."

"All evacuated the arsenal more than half an hour ago and exploded the ammunition that had not been moved away."

"The arsenal stores a large amount of ammunition, including shells, grenades, and explosives. They exploded at the same time, and the power was too great, and they were directly bombed together with the cave!"

The company commander shouted with disbelief: "Bandits? How did they find this place? And if I remember correctly, there are no bandits in the mountains nearby. Where did they come from?"

The guard squad leader shook his head. Since he was captured, they have no chance to speak and cannot figure out the origin of these bandits.

Seeing that the subordinate asked questions and didn't know, the company commander's anger surged up again and was about to continue cursing. At this moment, the squad leader suddenly ran over and said, "Sir, there is an enemy situation in the southwest direction!"

"A Japanese who strengthened the squadron marched towards us in a hurry. The speed was very fast and could reach here in an hour at most."

"It should be the explosion that just now alarmed the Japanese and wanted to go into the mountains to investigate the situation as soon as possible."

Several platoon leaders agreed and focused their attention on the company commander and waited for him to make a decision.

Seeing that the company commander was gloomy and didn't say anything, and he didn't know what he was thinking, the platoon leader couldn't help but immediately raised his own thoughts: "Sir, the strength of the Japanese troops entering the mountains is far greater than that of us. If we fight hard, we will definitely not be our opponents. Now the arsenal has been bombed again, and there is no point in continuing to defend here, so I suggest that we move immediately, leave here, and let the Japanese soldiers lose all their money!"

"I agree to leave here and avoid the edge for the time being!" another platoon leader said.

The third platoon leader spoke at the last time, staring at the company commander and asked: "I support leaving here, but without the arsenal, where should we move?"

The company commander finally spoke, looking at his subordinates' decisive orders: "You are right. Without the arsenal, it is meaningless for us to continue to stay here. Instead of staying here and being killed by the Japanese who entered the mountain, it is better to avoid the edge for the time being, leave here, find a better fighter before going to attack them."

"The troops gathered immediately. We first went to yesterday's assembly point, then marched quickly through the blockade line of the Japanese and puppet troops, entered the National Salvation Army defense zone, and joined the National Salvation Army to continue fighting the Japanese!"

The garrison company came and left in a hurry, leaving nothing behind.

An hour later, a "Japanese army" with nearly 200 people appeared at the entrance and exit of the valley, and then headed straight to the arsenal where black smoke was still coming out.

If you observe carefully, you will find that the average height of this "Japanese army" is at least ten centimeters longer than that of the Japanese. Although they are wearing Japanese military uniforms and holding all Japanese equipment in their hands, they speak Chinese.

Everyone guessed correctly: this so-called "Japanese army" was not a real Japanese devil, but was pretended to be in accordance with Zhou Cheng's order. The purpose was to force the guards away quickly and not to continue to worry about the bombing of the arsenal.

Zhou Cheng thought the whole operation was very concealed and there should be no accident.

But after staying here for a long time, some clues will inevitably be discovered, because many traces of actions cannot be erased artificially. If they know that the arsenal was taken down by themselves, it would be a big problem.

The best way is to drive the guards away and never return here in the future.

In just seven or eight days, the surrounding area of ​​the arsenal will be covered with dense shrubs and thatch again, and the traces of the troops transporting weapons and ammunition will be covered up. If you want to check it, there is nothing you can do if the king comes.

Zhou Cheng's arrangement obviously worked.

Faced with the arsenal that had been blown into waste, the first thing the garrison company commander thought of was how to protect the troops in his hands and prevent them from losing to the arsenal that had lost its meaning of protection.

After connecting with Xiang Feng, Zhou Cheng immediately found Wang Tieshan.

There is another very important part to completely erase the traces of the National Salvation Army taking down the arsenal: the idea of ​​luring the real Japanese to come over and completely cut off the garrison company and then returning here.

"The first company, the cavalry company, evacuate here immediately. The reconnaissance team stayed and found a way to lead the Japanese to here so that they could see the bombed arsenal."
