In an open space outside the headquarters of the 119th Division, more than a dozen officers of the Eighth Route Army gathered here, each carrying a brand-new shell gun on his waist under a brand-new military uniform.

The chief of staff of the division looked at the commanders of the various transport companies in front of him, and his expression was very satisfied.

The transport brigade takes the company as the basic unit, and the design is 40 companies, a total of 4 regiments, each company is responsible for 100 mules and horses, and the transport team of this size is convenient for management and mobility.

In battle, artillery shells are mainly transported, and now the division headquarters is forming an artillery regiment, and with the consumption capacity of artillery, it is naturally impossible to be the same as before, and the troops themselves can carry enough ammunition for a battle, especially after the artillery shells in the troops have been sufficient recently, the troops' requirements for ammunition transportation have increased dramatically.

At present, due to the insufficient number of mules, horses and soldiers, there are currently only 18 transport brigades of the 119th Division, with a total of 1,800 mules and horses.

"You have all experienced many transportation tasks before serving as company commanders, so I won't have much extra nonsense, and the future transportation tasks will mainly focus on safety, and try to transport as many materials as possible under the condition of ensuring safety."

"We have to abandon the previous concept, now it is a situation of many people and few materials, which is different from before"

"Priority is given to ensuring the safety of soldiers and mules and horses in the mission, as for supplies, they can be blown up if necessary, as long as the people and mules and horses are okay, they can be transported from the independent regiment next time"

"Got it?"

The commander of the transport company was selected from the previous transport team, and he had many transportation experiences, so the chief of staff of the division did not be verbose, and directly emphasized the core focus, mules, horses and people are the most important, and priority is given to guarantors and mules and horses in case of danger.

"Understood," the many company commanders replied neatly.

"Chief of Staff, we have also been to the independent warehouse of the first regiment, we all know how many supplies there are, to put it before, more than 100 kilograms of weapons and ammunition, enough for the old cow to fight for more than 100 catties of meat, but now, hehe, unless there are more than a dozen tons of ammunition, I can only consider it" said a company commander in the transportation chain.

"Let's go," the staff officer waved.

Ambush of a main regiment of the 29th Division.

The ambush position along the road was about a kilometer and a half long, and in the position was ambushed a main regiment of more than 1,500 troops, all of whom wore concealed straw hats, prostrate themselves in the concealed ditch, holding rifles, and waiting for the enemy to arrive.

"What's going on in the group lately? 1,000 rounds of ammunition were fired," a soldier holding a crooked machine gun was protecting his chest and looking at his co-shooter in a puzzled tone. The crooked-handle LMG light machine gun's odd supply magazine is prone to problems, and any dust can cause jamming, so the magazine must be kept clean.

"I used to have only 200 rounds per battle."

"Who knows, our platoon commander doesn't know what's going on, if you have bullets, you can use them, but recently the regiment has become rich, and our regiment now has a gun in hand, and it is a rifled gun" The deputy shooter counted the bullets, replied in an indifferent tone, and changed the topic at the same time.

"The quality of this bullet is really good, it's better than the bullet captured from the devil, and the chance of jamming is much less" Blowing the dust on the bullet, the corner of the secondary shooter's mouth cracked.

"I'll see," the heavy took a bullet bridge and looked at it carefully.

The crooked-handle LMG uses the rifle's bridge, with five rounds per bridge. The Heavy looked at the bullet bridge in his hand, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise.

"This bullet is good, it feels very smooth, and it is indeed better than the devil's ammunition" The peasant-born machine gunner does not know any professional terms, so there is no professional language to describe the quality of the bullet, but the long career of the machine gunner makes him see the quality of a bullet at a glance, and the excellent ammunition from the system immediately shocked him.

"It's a little reluctant to use it," he handed the bullet to the ammunitionman, and the heavy sighed with a pity.

"You'll just be on time later, so you can save some bullets," the secondary shooter rolled his eyes.

"Look, we'll make sure to kill a devil with a single shot," the Heavy confidently said.

"Commander, the devil is coming"

At the edge of the position, in the direction where the devil came, the regiment commander was holding a telescope to look at the devil, and in his field of vision, a squadron of devil transports was walking along the road towards the ambush position.

"Wait, wait until all the devils are in position before firing"

"Get the sunspots"

While looking at the devil transport team, the regiment commander said to his guards.

Soon, the artillery platoon commander Kuroko rushed to the side of the regiment commander.

"Commander, are you looking for me?" Kuroko said after saluting.

"When all the devils enter the ambush position, your artillery platoon will fire the first shot, and you must first knock out the first and tail vehicles, so that the devils will not be able to advance or retreat," the regiment commander ordered.

"Regiment commander, you are optimistic, I guarantee that two artillery will kill these two vehicles" Kuroko, the platoon leader of the artillery platoon who had tested the new artillery, was confident.

Wanping City, Headquarters of the 7th Task Force.

"General, you're looking for me"

Kazuo Mitsuda knocked on the door and walked straight into the headquarters.

"This is a telegram from Mengxian County, Shanxi, you can take a look" Brigade Commander Ojima Tani Ota directly handed a telegram to Kazuo Mitsuda.

"The Eighth Route Army received a large amount of weapons and ammunition? And a lot of mortar shells? Convoys? After receiving the telegram, Kazuo Mitsuda quickly read the contents of the telegram and said to himself with some surprise.

"According to the report from Shanxi, the Eighth Route Army has recently obtained a large number of weapons reports, and has ambushed our army's baggage team several times, and our side has suffered large losses," the brigade commander repeated part of the content of the Lingbao newspaper, and then raised his own questions.

"Is it possible that the supplies of the Shanxi Eighth Route Army were transported from our side, and recently our side has also been attacked by the transport team, and the ambushed guerrillas have shown strong firepower, and there are a large number of mortar craters at the ambush site"

"Very likely," Kazuo Mitsuda nodded, and continued.

"It has been reported before that there have been large-scale convoys around Wanping City, but because there is no further evidence, I did not investigate in detail."

"Now it seems that it is likely to transport supplies for the Eighth Route Army"

"General, I think we have to attack the transport teams around Wanping City as soon as possible, which two teams can be killed first."

"That's what I mean," Shimatani Ota also nodded.

At this time, a devil herald walked in and reported the information that the troops disguised as the Eighth Route Army had been completely annihilated.

Hearing this information, the two glanced at each other, and the hesitation in their hearts suddenly dissipated.

"We must annihilate this guerrilla group at once"
