The corpses on the battlefield are definitely not fake, and Major General Honda believed them when he heard this.

He loosened the collar of the second lieutenant, turned his head and looked at the chief of staff and began to give orders: "You can't stay here anymore."

"Chief of Staff, you gather troops immediately. Everyone leaves here in half an hour and take the Zhengtai Railway to return to Yangquan!"

"We can say that the sweeping troops were completely wiped out by the National Salvation Army, and we can say that it is an accident. Coincidence... The two consecutive sweeping troops were completely wiped out, and the two sweeping troops were severely damaged. Besides, the coincidence would not be explained. I think the Salvation Army must have hidden strength that we don't know!"

"This mysterious force not only hides our eyes, but also the eyes of the intelligence system."

"They can eat four or five thousand of us in one night, and they can gather us here and annihilate them."

"A few two troops came here just now, and the entire operation would definitely not escape the eyes of the National Savior Scouts. We are probably exposed. If we don't leave here immediately, we will not be able to leave even if we want to!"

The Chief of Staff agreed. When he was about to receive the order, he thought of the ammunition depot where the troops stayed in Pingding City.

Millions of bullets and more than 20,000 artillery shells were stored in it. Once it fell into the hands of the National Salvation Army, they and the surrounding Eighth Route Army would benefit, and their overall combat effectiveness would be greatly enhanced, which would threaten the safety of the Imperial Army.

Remind immediately: "General, what should we do if we have the weapons and ammunition left in the city?"

"I originally thought that I could regain the county town today and regain those weapons and ammunition. The troops deliberately did not destroy it when they broke through. Now that there was an accident in the sweeping troops, we did not have the chance to regain the county town, but we must find a way to destroy them. Otherwise, the overall strength of the National Salvation Army will not only not be weakened due to sweeping, but will become stronger and stronger."

Major General Honda agrees with the Chief of Staff's words and looks at a staff officer under his command and asks: "I ask you to monitor the enemies attacking the city's pacification city. You should be very clear about the situation of weapons and ammunition in the city!"

The staff officer quickly reported: "No enemy transported food, weapons and ammunition during the day."

"The food, weapons and ammunition that our warehouses are in the county should still be in the grain warehouse and ammunition warehouse."

"That's good!" Major General Honda let out a long sigh of relief and ordered: "It's past three o'clock in the afternoon, and there is still time to call for air support!"

"Chief of Staff, send a telegram to the military headquarters immediately, asking them to send air troops to capture the Pingding Arsenal and Grain Depot."

"We will move immediately and leave and pacify quickly before the national rescue army has arrived!"

Before dawn, the battle to pacify the city ended, but the county town did not become quieter.

Wang Tieshan couldn't understand why the Japanese would rather rush out of the arsenal and die with the reconnaissance team than blow up the ammunition warehouse and die with the reconnaissance team.

After reporting to the regiment commander, Zhou Cheng couldn't understand what tricks the Japanese were playing, and he didn't expect that the Japanese army would return to the county town and regain the arsenal.

But he knows one thing.

Although the reconnaissance team occupied the arsenal, it does not mean that the weapons and ammunition inside belonged to the National Salvation Army.

As long as the troops do not transport them out of the county town in one day and return to the defense zone, the weapons and ammunition in the ammunition depot may be blown up by the Japanese at any time.

The main force also needs to fight the Japanese, so it cannot draw out troops to transport for the time being.

Moreover, there are too many materials, weapons and ammunition stored in the grain warehouse and ammunition warehouse, and they cannot be transported back to the defense zone in a short period of time.

It is not possible to temporarily store weapons and ammunition in ammunition depots.

Although I can't figure out why the Japanese army didn't blow up the arsenal, no one can guarantee whether they would suddenly change their minds.

If they decide to blow up the arsenal, it only takes one aircraft and a few aviation bombs to level the ammunition depot.

But the troops could not distribute their troops and could not find time to transport the seized back to the defense zone.

Finally, Zhou Cheng thought of a compromise: the eggs should not be placed in a basket.

Even if the Japanese army decides to destroy the weapons and ammunition in the ammunition depot and sends planes to bomb the county town, as long as they move out the weapons and ammunition in the ammunition depot and store them separately, they will definitely be able to save most of the weapons and ammunition.

If the Japanese army only stared at the ammunition depot bombing, it would be fine to keep all weapons and ammunition.

After dawn, the two guerrilla squadrons, except for the closed-eye guards, all other soldiers traveled between the ammunition depot and the military camp, and transported the weapons and ammunition in the Japanese ammunition depot to various military camps in the city...

At around 1:00 p.m., when Zhou Cheng led his team back to the county town, the ammunition and grain warehouses had been emptied.

"Captain, do you think the Japanese flew to come?" Liu Shuihe asked when he saw Zhou Chengju.

"The soldiers were busy all morning before hiding all the weapons, ammunition and food in the warehouse! If the plane didn't come, then we wouldn't be in vain!"

Zhou Cheng doesn't think so: "Be prepared for any trouble!"

"A qualified commander must think of danger ahead at all times. Even if we do not encounter danger in the end, we must be prepared for any danger."

"If we underestimate the enemy once and encounter danger again, the losses will be huge, and maybe there is no room for recovery."

"It's like I asked you to transport weapons, ammunition and food. If we carelessly underestimate the enemy and do not transfer, and the Japanese planes come again, our seizure will definitely be blown to ashes!"

Seeing that several battalion company commanders all looked thoughtful, Zhou Cheng continued, "You just said that the Japanese plane reminded me."

"If the Japanese army really sends planes to bomb the ammunition depot, we must not only save all the seized, but also find a way to teach them a lesson."

"Two guerrilla squadrons, two independent battalions, and fourth battalions, plus our capture in the city, it is definitely no problem to collect 30 heavy machine guns."

"The Unique Battalion is responsible for laying air defense positions on the east side of the arsenal, the Second Unique Battalion is arranged on the west side, the Fourth Battalion is arranged on the south side, and two guerrilla squadrons are arranged on the north side, and all heavy machine guns are ready to fire at the air!"

"The three anti-aircraft machine guns of the air defense platoon are directly arranged in the arsenal, but they must repair the bunker with sandbags and dig anti-aircraft holes. If a bomb hits the air defense position, the machine gunners and anti-aircraft machine guns must survive."

"The Unique Battalion dispatched a company to release smoke around the ammunition depot to block the view of Japanese pilots, forcing them to bomb the ammunition depot at a low altitude, and give anti-aircraft machine guns the opportunity to attack them in the air."

"As long as the Japanese dare to send planes over, we must at least shoot one."

"If there is no plane sent here, we will treat this operation as an air defense exercise!"

Zhou Cheng has been standing at the head of the Ximen City in Punishing Ding, facing Taiyuan here. If the Japanese army sent planes to bomb the ammunition depot, the plane must have come from here.

There was no movement in the sky from two o'clock to four o'clock.

If the plane has not arrived in the next half hour, I will not come again today.
