With the drivers and drivers of the cars among the Japanese prisoners, things were easy. Apex M. Shi Poshan led the cadres of the logistics department, and mobilized the villagers who were captured by the Japanese army to load and unload supplies, and asked them to assist the Eighth Route Army in loading, unloading and carrying the captured materials, plus the soldiers of a regiment and a battalion, a heavy machine gun battalion, and an artillery regiment rapid-fire company, and began to load the trucks.

Yuan Gang, the commander of the armored battalion, did not wait for Shi Poshan to assign tasks, and directly according to Xiao Siming's order, he smashed the brand-new 13 tanks and 20 armored vehicles.

It's not bad, in peacetime training, Yuan Gang followed Xiao Siming's requirements to let the soldiers of the armored battalion learn to be all-rounders, not only to be able to drive tanks and armored vehicles, but also to be able to be commanders, ammunition men, gunners and machine gun shooters. As long as these tanks and armored vehicles are driven back to Puyang County and the main force is reconciled, there is no need to worry. When the armored battalion was training in Leling, like the cavalry battalion, it gave priority to supplementary training, and there were dozens of people, because the crew of tanks and armored vehicles was limited during the battle, they were all changed to infantry, and they acted with the units directly under the detachment, and when the time came, they could directly get on the car and participate in the battle.

Didn't say anything, first fill up the fuel and water, test the car, and then fill the ammunition, so that the tanks and armored vehicles are in a state of imminent battle, and then fill the ammunition box with all the space in the armored car, Yuan Gang gave the order, and the tanks and armored vehicles of the armored battalion roared out of Chenqiao Town and waited outside the town.

Like the armored battalion, the artillery commander Zhao Xiuchuan and the deputy regiment commander Zhao Fufu led the soldiers of the infantry artillery battalion to do it themselves without waiting for Shi Poshan to assign tasks.

After Zhao Xiuchuan lifted off the canvas covering the cannon, his eyes suddenly lit up, and saliva hung on the corners of his mouth, and everyone was a little stupid.

Deputy regiment commander Zhao Fu participated in the Red Army before he fought mountain artillery and field artillery in the national * army troops, walked forward, and after looking at the parameters on a mountain gun, he immediately shouted loudly: "Lao Tzu is really making a fortune, this is the most advanced 94-type 75 mountain gun of the Japanese army, the barrel is 1560 mm long, the weight of the whole gun is only 636 kg, the weight of the shell is 6.34 kg, the maximum range is 8400 meters, with blasting shells, anti-personnel grenades, thermite arson bombs, and chemical bombs." Obediently, this cannon is very light, both artillery can push it away, not only can it be covered by long-range artillery fire, but it can also be directly pushed to the line of fire, aiming directly at the machine gun fire point of the little devil, and bombarding it with a turtle grandson! ”

Zhao Fufu is the first good hand of the artillery regiment of the eastward advance detachment, he said that this artillery is good, it must be good!

After watching the mountain artillery, Zhao Fufu went to look at the field artillery again, stretched out his hand and touched the barrel and body of the cannon, and after carefully inspecting it, he shouted loudly: "This is an improved version of the 38-type field artillery." The little devil is amazing, just improve the gun carriage, the elevation angle of this gun has reached 43 degrees, and the maximum firing range is 11,500 meters, which is 3,150 meters higher than the maximum firing range of the Type 38 field artillery! The artillery shells used were grenades, arson, and chemical shells, and the shells weighed 6.41 kilograms. The only thing that is not beautiful is that this cannon is heavier than the Type 38 field cannon, with a full 1135 kilograms, and more pack horses are used! Well, now that we have such good wild artillery and mountain artillery, and when we encounter little devils again, Lao Tzu can not only bombard them with artillery and poison them with chemical bombs, but also indulge in fire bombs to burn them! Hey, little devil, wait for the grandpas to clean up! ”

Let Zhao Fu say this, the cadres and soldiers of the infantry artillery battalion all had green eyes and rushed up to touch it.

As soon as Zhao Xiuchuan saw that the scene was chaotic, he immediately sobered up, and immediately ordered to line up, ready to accept the cannon.

Only then did the artillerymen reluctantly assemble and line up.

After the troops stood in line, Zhao Xiuchuan immediately ordered the first to be connected to the field artillery, the second to be connected to the mountain artillery, and the third to be the infantry artillery of the original infantry artillery battalion!

The meaning of this could not be clearer: the first company should be expanded into a field artillery battalion, the second company should be expanded into a mountain artillery battalion, and the third company should be expanded into an infantry artillery battalion.

The commander of the third company and the instructor immediately raised their hands and shouted a report.

Zhao Xiuchuan glanced at the commander of the third company and the instructor, and even said that there was no need to shout a report, didn't he just want to use field artillery and mountain artillery? The commander said that in the future, the infantry artillery will all be strengthened to all infantry regiments and infantry battalions, and when the artillery team of the fourth brigade and regiment has been independently mixed into the little devils, the third company will be able to accept four mountain guns and eight field guns!

Only then did the commander of the third company and the instructor put down their raised hands.

A field artillery squadron of the Japanese army numbered 128 people, 184 horses, and four field artillery pieces. At present, the first company of the infantry artillery battalion of the Eighth Route Army Artillery Regiment has to accept 12 field guns, and the strength is seriously insufficient.

The same is true for Erlian! You must know that the mountain artillery squadron of the Japanese pack horse division is 195 people, 138 horses, and four mountain guns. The second company and one company have to accept 12 mountain guns, can the strength not be seriously insufficient?

Now don't say anything, first accept the cannon and transport the cannon away!

The soldiers of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies directly brought pack horses, put on the gun cart, and connected the cannon with the gun carriage with transport connectors, and then they could concentrate on loading the artillery cart with artillery shell boxes.

When the gun carriage was so full that it could no longer be loaded, Zhao Xiuchuan ordered the troops to drive out of Chenqiao Town. Only two soldiers were left to guard each cannon, and the rest of the personnel returned to the town to participate in the rush to carry supplies.

Xiao Siming was afraid that the existing vehicles would not be able to fill up the weapons and ammunition, so he asked Shi Poshan to organize all the troops to load the cars first, fill one and drive out of the town, and organize them outside the town until all the 150 cars were full, Xiao Siming ordered the heavy machine guns to get into the car and escort the car first.

Of the 150 cars, three tried to rush out of the yard and out of Chenqiao Town, the windshield was shattered by machine-gun bullets, and the devil driver was killed in his seat. At this time, they couldn't take care of so much, and the soldiers directly dragged out the corpse of the little devil and loaded it into a truck.

The 50 automobile soldiers selected from the Japanese prisoners sat in the driver's seat of the 50 cars, and next to them sat a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, holding a box of Wang Ba in his hand, supervising the Japanese drivers who were willing to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army.

The next step is to load the glue ** car.

Because the escort of the Japanese transport team was only an infantry squad, which was quickly annihilated at the beginning of the battle, and the Japanese transport team's will to resist was low, the Japanese pack horses had almost no losses, and they could be directly put on the rubber ** cart.

The pack horses that pulled the field cannons and mountain cannons were found in another courtyard because they were transported to Chenqiao in advance, and they were not injured at all.

When all the weapons and ammunition, gasoline barrels, diesel barrels, and medicine boxes were loaded, and all the cadres and soldiers were tired and exhausted, Xiao Siming let the troops and the arrested people who participated in the loading of the vehicles rest a little and eat dry food.

With this dry food, those arrested villagers can be regarded as realizing what a soldier is. The cadres and fighters all took out the dry food they carried and let the villagers eat with them. Including the newly captured canned beef and caviar of the Japanese army, all of them are made by the villagers!

The little devils used bayonets to force these fellow villagers to carry arms and materials for them, but the Eighth Route Army was like a family with them, eating and doing homely things. That's a big contrast!

At that time, a young man asked if the Eighth Route Army was recruiting?

Recruitment, the Eighth Route Army will definitely recruit!

The instructors and instructors of several battalions all went into battle to do ideological work for these fellow villagers, propagate the truth of resisting Japan and saving the country, and explain the policies of the Eighth Route Army. As a result, more than 800 people, 240 young men went to receive the Japanese military uniforms issued by the Eighth Route Army on the spot, put them on, and carried guns as the Eighth Route Army!

The shortage of troops in the artillery regiment is really too big, and Xiao Siming immediately decided that all the 240 newly recruited recruits will be incorporated into the artillery regiment, and the artillery regiment will be responsible for training.

Zhao Xiuchuan was overjoyed, but he shouted at these recruits in his voice: "Artillery is the god of war!" Since the Eighth Route Army has artillery, what little devils' planes, tanks, warships, pillboxes, and artillery towers are all out of the question! As soon as the artillery regiment sounds, the little devil will be wiped out! ”

Zhao Xiuchuan bragged that there was no edge, as if the little devils were killed by their artillery!

Anyway, Zhao Xiuchuan suddenly had nearly two more companies of recruits!

Xiao Siming also participated in the loading.

Although there is still a lot of distance from the realm of Xiaocheng, his physical fitness is already very good, and his strength is amazing, others carry an ammunition box, he can carry two. Someone else carries a box with rifles, and he carries two. It was easy for one person to run a disassembled Type 92 heavy machine gun box, and it turned out to be one person who could withstand two or three people to carry it. Yan Rou, who was distressed and was in charge of the number of registrations, couldn't help but want to run over several times to remind him not to be brutal, be careful and tired. But there were so many people at the scene, Yan Rou was a big girl after all, and she didn't have a clear relationship with Xiao Siming, so she could only sneak a glance from time to time, and didn't dare to run over to persuade Xiao Siming.

With Xiao Si as an example, the cadres and soldiers, including those fellow villagers, all used all their strength, and the loading speed was still very fast.

When the 200 rubber trucks were full, the Japanese weapons and ammunition, gasoline, diesel and medicine stored in the Chenqiao warehouse were finally loaded. The rest are edible products such as rice, flour, oil, soy sauce, vinegar, and salt.

These edible products are also in urgent need of replenishment by the eastward advance detachment, but compared with the more valuable weapons, ammunition, oil and medicines, Xiao Siming must be the first to ship weapons, ammunition, oil and medicines.

When the weapons and ammunition were loaded, Shi Poshan and Yan Rou realized that they had made a mistake in their calculations, and the Japanese army had not stored much edible products such as rice, flour, oil and other food in Chenqiao, which was much less than munitions. It may be that the 14th Division, the 3rd Mixed Brigade, and the 13th Mixed Brigade are already hungry and can only be transported by boat at night, so these edible goods will be transported first. But the biggest possibility is that after the Japanese army captured Kaifeng, they occupied the granary of eastern Henan, and there was no shortage of rice, white flour and edible oil, so they could grab grain and replenish it on the spot.

It's not much, it's just a little far from Shi Poshan and Yan Rou's expectations. In fact, the rice, flour, oil, soy sauce, vinegar and salt stored in Chenqiao cannot be transported by 200 rubber trucks at one time.

Xiao Siming immediately ordered the cavalry battalion to leave one company to camp in Fengqiu County, mobilize the masses, transfer two companies back to Chenqiao, mobilize extensively around Chenqiao, and organize the villagers to use big carts, small cars, and picks to help the Eighth Route Army transport military rations!
