Chapter 20: The 786th Regiment

"Commander, the convoy has arrived"

At the station of the 786th regiment, a transport team of more than 200 Rao arrived at the regimental headquarters.

"Oh? Okay, let's go and meet together."

The regiment commander, who was studying the battle plan, heard the news and said hello three times in a row.

The regiment commander and other transport teams have been more than a dozen, but the regiment commander is still a little puzzled, according to the plan, the transport team should have arrived in advance, is there something wrong on the road? Originally, the regiment commander thought that if he hadn't arrived today, he would line up a company to have a look, but now it seems that he is thinking too much.

It is normal to be a little late for the journey of more than 200 kilometers.

The 786 Regiment is a newly formed backbone regiment, which was expanded from a main battalion, and after adding local guerrillas and various self-defense brigades, the structure of a more than 1,000 main force regiment was completed, and because they were all fighters who had fought against the devils for a long time, after a period of integrated training, the combat effectiveness of the 786 Regiment was not bad at all.

The battalion expanded into the 786th Regiment was transferred from the border area to the 119th Division, and the regiment commander originally transported materials directly from the division headquarters, but the chief of staff of the division did not do it, and after allocating tens of thousands of oceans, the regiment asked the regiment to form its own transport team to transport an independent regiment, so the 786th Regiment formed a transport team by itself.

This was the first time the convoy had been on a mission.

This batch of supplies is very much needed for the next battle plan. Although the combat materials in the regiment are capable of fighting a battle at present, this is according to the previous combat method, and after seeing the combat style of other units of the 119th Division, the regiment commander no longer wants to fight the hard battle of the past.

Mortars bombarded casually, machine guns burst out when they saw devils, and soldiers bullets hit the whole battle at will...

This is the real battle, so that killing devils is cool, although the bayonet is very exciting, but the casualties are large!

Walking out of the regiment headquarters, the first thing the regiment commander saw was the captain of the transport team who was almost tired.

The captain of the transport team is nicknamed the second fat man, there is a wrong name, but there is no wrong nickname, the second fat man, as his name suggests, strong and fat, more than 1.9 meters of body advertising, close to 300 kilograms of strong body, looks like a mountain.

This is a big strong man who can carry a machine gun weighing tens of kilograms for dozens of kilometers alone. And now the strongest soldier of the 786th Regiment is sweating profusely and panting...

This is being chased by devils? The head of the regiment guessed in his heart.

"It's been a great job, it's been a hard job"

The head of the regiment expressed his condolences.

"Haha, it's not hard, it's not hard, regiment commander, you must let me participate in this battle, otherwise I'm sorry for the hard work of running these hundreds of miles."

Although the tone of the second fat man of the transport captain could not hide his tiredness, the excitement in it was obvious.

Huh?ยทยท Want to take part in the battle?

The strange tone of the captain of his own transport team made the regiment commander a little strange, and the combat mission was issued by two signal corps from the division headquarters more than half a month ago, but the specific date of the battle had not yet been set, and the cadres at and above the company level in the regiment knew about it, and the transport team naturally knew about it as a company-level establishment.

"No problem"

The regiment commander nodded, this requirement is not a problem, the second fat man used to be a heavy machine gunner, but during the grass period, the heavy machine gun loss can only be a big head platoon leader.

"Haha, you're still the head of the regiment and you're the best"

The second fat man instantly became vigorous, and his tone was obviously much stronger.

"Let's go, regiment commander, go and see the supplies I brought back, haha, now our battalion, oh no, our regiment is really rich"

The second fat man's tone couldn't hide his excitement, although his legs were still shaking when he walked.

The words of the captain of his own transport team aroused the strong interest of the regiment commander, more than 200 people, more than 100 mules, there will not be too many materials that can be transported, and the road is full of mountain roads, even if the maximum load, it is only a dozen tons of materials, and it is only 20 tons to die.

But twenty tons of ammunition is also considered rich. A ton can have tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition, if half of them are bullets, then there are 200,000 rounds, and now the guns of the 786th Regiment are all allocated by the division headquarters. There were eight mortars, but there were only a hundred shells per gun.

Soon, everyone from the regimental headquarters and the captain of the transport team, who was walking a little floating, came to the unloading place of the transport team.

The first thing the regiment commander saw was the soldiers of the transport team who were collectively spread on the ground, as well as dense wooden boxes, which were stacked directly on, and according to his experience, and the size and shape of the boxes, the boxes should have contained grenades.

"Commander, here are eight hundred boxes of grenades, twenty each, a total of sixteen thousand grenades"

The second fat man, the captain of the transport team, recovered a little at this time, and his voice was obviously louder than before.

"Eight hundred boxes? Sixteen thousand grenades? โ€

The regiment commander opened a box of grenades, looked at the well-made M24 grenades, and then looked up at a circle of grenade boxes, he frowned.

Although the grenade is good, it is a good weapon for both offense and defense, but the range of the grenade, but what he needs is bullets and shells, and machine guns are also needed.

Eight hundred boxes of grenades, each box is about fifteen kilograms, that is, twelve tons, and a mule can only carry a hundred kilograms, and he remembers that less than 120 mules were allocated to the convoy at that time.

The head of the regiment was a little panicked.

"Yes, the soldiers of the exhausted convoy are tired, these grenades are all carried back by us from shoulder jumping"

"Hey, I carried eight boxes by myself"

The second fat man smiled, and his big white teeth were exposed.

"Huh? They were all carried back! And what about mules? โ€

Eight hundred boxes of grenades, more than a dozen tons of ammunition, and the transport team of 250 people all carried back, no wonder they were all so tired, no wonder they were two late, the regiment commander suddenly realized, but then he was more puzzled, isn't there a mule?

"Of course, mules are used to transport better supplies."

The second fat man's tone was triumphant.

The door to the makeshift stables was opened, and the regimental commander was greeted by a large group of mules, each with a large amount of supplies on it, and a large number of soldiers unloading the supplies on the mules' backs.

"Why are there so many mules?"

The regimental commander was stunned at that time, and there were definitely more than one hundred and twenty mules in this courtyard at this time, and there were at least two more mules here.

"Well, there are two hundred and sixty mules in total, and the more one hundred and thirty are the mules allocated to us by the independent group, where did they build a mule farm, there are thousands of mules?"

The second fat man explained.

"Huh? Can it be like this? โ€

The head of the regiment was surprised.

He heard from the division headquarters that the independent regiment had abundant supplies, and all the materials from the division headquarters were transported from there, but he really didn't expect that there would be mules for him there.

Well, what a rich bunch of independence! The head of the regiment was envious.

"Here's the list of supplies"

The second fat man took out a piece of paper from a mule and handed it to the regiment commander.
