Tensions were already rising at the entrance of the temporary ammunition warehouse on Babaoqian Street. The guards guarding the ammunition warehouse set up their machine guns as if they were facing a formidable enemy. The black muzzles of their rifles were also pointed at Wang Huzi and others.
Company Commander Wang Huzi's face was as dark as water at this moment. He came to the ammunition depot to replenish the consumed ammunition and weapons on Yang Ling's order, but who knew that he was in trouble.
"I just want to ask you, will you replenish ammunition for our battalion?"
Company Commander Wang Huzi rolled up his sleeves, his tone was full of gunpowder, and his heart was full of anger.
Standing on the steps was a section chief named Lu, the person in charge of this temporary ammunition depot, which was affiliated to the Warehouse Management Office of the Theater Logistics Department.
Faced with the threat from company commander Wang Huzi, Section Chief Lu was not afraid. He had seen many ruffians who acted arrogantly.
Besides, He Yaozu, the director of the Military Commission Office, was supporting him behind him. Even those division commanders and army commanders were polite to him when they met him. He really didn't take such a nameless little company commander seriously.
Chief Lu glanced at Wang Huzi with disdain, and said in a cold and businesslike tone: "No one can receive weapons and ammunition without authorization from the garrison commander's headquarters or the frontline army division commander."
Yang Ling's guerrilla battalion is directly under the command of the garrison commander's headquarters. Seeing that he is about to be roped in to fight the Japanese again, there is no time to go back and issue approval slips. Isn't this nonsense?
"I'll fill in the approval slip for you later. Let's replenish the ammunition first. Time waits for no one." Wang Huzi's tone was a little softer. After all, people had to bow their heads under the eaves.
Chief Lu didn't accept this at all and still shook his head: "You can go wherever you come from. Without the approval slip, I can't give you ammunition even if the King of Heaven comes."
"Are you a fucking Chinese? The Japs have already arrived at your doorstep. How can we fight the Japs if you don't give us ammunition!" Wang Huzi became more and more excited as he spoke.
Chief Lu is in charge of all this. All he cares about is silver dollars. Those army officers who come to collect ammunition don't know that he is Director He's man, so they have no time to curry favor with him, so there is plenty of money.
But these big-headed soldiers had nothing, and instead wanted to get ammunition fiercely. Of course, he had to go about his business and make things difficult.
"It's none of my business how you fight the Japanese. I'm only responsible for managing the ammunition."
Chief Lu's deliberate attempt to make things difficult made Wang Huzi anxious, and shouted loudly: "Will you give it to me or not?"
Chief Lu raised his neck and said arrogantly: "I won't give it to you even if I have it. What can you do to me?"
"I'll beat you to death!"
Wang Huzi really couldn't stand the look of Chief Lu. The brothers were bleeding desperately on the front line, but he was here fishing for oil and water, without giving them silver coins or ammunition, so he raised his fist angrily and smashed them.
Chief Lu thought that Wang Huzi would take action if he disagreed with him. His glasses were smashed to pieces when he was caught off guard, and he was immediately knocked to the ground wailing.
The guards guarding the ammunition depot saw that the situation was not good, and immediately shouted and pulled the bolts of their guns, and pushed forward.
The brothers led by Wang Huzi were all ruthless men who had seen blood, and they all pulled the bolts of their guns. Both sides glared at each other, and no one gave in.
When Yang Ling and his men arrived at the entrance of the ammunition depot on Babaoqian Street, the two sides were already at war with each other, and a fight could break out at any time.
"What's going on?" When the brothers saw Yang Ling coming, they hurriedly got out of the way.
Wang Huzi angrily told Yang Ling the cause and effect of the incident, allowing Yang Ling to understand the whole story.
"Brothers, put down your guns first." Yang Ling waved his hand behind him. He didn't want to cause any internal fighting at this juncture.
Yang Ling had high prestige, so although the brothers were confused, they all lowered their guns, but they were still vigilant.
"Brother, my subordinates have offended so much. I apologize to you on their behalf. We will pay for the medical expenses. Do you think you can let us get the ammunition first? You see, we are about to join the fight..."
Yang Ling's attitude was very low. After all, it was Wang Huzi who hit the person first. He hoped that the big problem would be reduced to a small matter.
"Who the hell is your brother? Let me tell you, if you rob the ammunition depot with troops, I will sue you to the Military Commission! Just wait and go to jail!"
Chief Lu was beaten by Wang Huzi, and at this moment he was very angry. He could hear Yang Ling's words and started shouting loudly.
When Yang Ling heard what Chief Lu said, his face suddenly darkened. The fact that Chief Lu had such a big hat on his head made him feel angry.
It was obviously a trivial matter, as if he had actually brought it to the Military Commission with added fuel and jealousy. I am afraid that I would not be able to defend myself. It seems that Chief Lu is a complete villain.
"You can eat randomly, but you can't talk nonsense. When did I send troops to loot the ammunition depot?"
Chief Lu, relying on the support of the director of the Military Commission, was a little unscrupulous. He wanted to seek justice for the punch he received: "I said yes, you will go to jail!"
Yang Ling asked in a deep voice: "It seems that things can't be resolved today, right?"
Chief Lu raised his head and said coldly: "You can't be kind anymore!"
Yang Ling knew that the government was corrupt, but he did not expect that such a small section chief would actually make things difficult for the combat troops for his own benefit at this juncture.
Seeing his arrogant look, Yang Ling was not ready to swallow his anger. It is said that rabbits bite when they are anxious. Since they have made themselves anxious and there is no room for maneuver, they just break the pot.
Yang Ling suddenly made a fist and knocked the shouting Chief Lu to the ground, kicked him and cursed: "The country is ruined by people like you! You morons!"
Chief Lu was beaten and kicked by Yang Ling. He was rolling on the ground in pain and kept wailing, but he still shouted: "You are dead! You are dead!"
Wang Huzi and the others had long been filled with embarrassment, and when they saw Yang Ling beating up Section Chief Lu, they clapped their hands and cheered.
The guards warned loudly that if they hit Section Chief Lu again, they would shoot him.
"Who the hell dares to shoot! Let's see if I don't attack him!"
Wang Huzi was also fearless. He picked up his machine gun and pointed it at the guards. These veterans who had fought bloody battles for the rest of their lives stepped forward and overwhelmed the guards with their momentum.
The guard platoon leader usually couldn't get used to Chief Lu's way of making money. Now that he was pointed at the gun, he simply turned his head to the side and didn't care how Chief Lu cried out for help.
Chief Lu was crying for his father and mother after Yang Ling's beating. At first he threatened Yang Ling and the others, but in the end he could only cry.
"Will you replenish our ammunition?" Yang Ling knelt down and grabbed Chief Lu's hair to raise his head.
"Here..." Chief Lu was frightened by the evil star Yang Ling. Looking at his knife-like eyes, he was afraid that he would kill him in anger, so he softened.
Yang Ling continued to ask: "Then will you go to the Military Commission to complain?"
"No more suing, no more suing..."
Yang Ling snorted coldly, with murderous intent all over his body: "If you go and file a complaint, I, Yang Ling, promise to kill you before I die. I will do what I say!"
"Yes, yes." Chief Lu is a villain who bullies the weak and fears the strong. At this moment, he still dares to disobey Yang Ling.
Yang Ling stood up: "Brothers, go in and move the ammunition!"
Wang Huzi chuckled and kicked Chief Lu as he passed by. He held his head high and pushed past the guards and opened the door of the ammunition depot.
The Nanjing Military Commission planned to defend Nanjing for three months, so it stored a huge amount of weapons and ammunition in Nanjing. When Wang Huzi and others saw the mountains of ammunition piled up in the temporary ammunition depot, their eyes went straight.
He caressed those anti-tank guns and those shiny machine guns, and exclaimed: "Damn it, I have never seen so much ammunition in my life, and they didn't even give it to us. This is why we want to keep it here to lay eggs."
Ah, these sons of bitches are really nothing."
"Stop talking nonsense and move the ammunition quickly." Yang Ling urged.
Yang Ling was actually shocked by the huge amount of ammunition stored in the depot. He did not expect so much, but then he sighed sadly. Historically, these stored ammunition fell into the hands of the Japanese without functioning at all, and instead became a tool for the Japanese to kill people.
