Chapter 42 Xingguo and Zhao Zhigang had just appeared at the checkpoint, and Zhong Hu rushed out with excitement on his face. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Then, with an excited face, he reported: "The big boss, made a fortune, made a fortune, Lao Maozi really stored a lot of good things in the level......"

"Don't worry, talk slowly......" Looking at Zhong Hu, who was about to speak, Yang Xingguo hurried in and reminded.

Zhong Hu hurriedly took a deep breath and said in his calmest tone as much as possible: "Yes, the big boss...... After careful search and statistics, there are not many fast guns in the level, only 24 shots, all of which are ...... left by those old Maozi who died in battle."

"However, there are quite a few bullets...... In addition to the more than 1,600 rounds found scattered from Lao Maozi's corpse, we also found eight boxes of 18,000 rounds of ammunition in the only masonry house in the level......"

"In addition, I also found 128 sets of quilts carried by Lao Maozi in the checkpoint, more than 350 taels of broken silver, more than 600 catties of grain, and half-hung pork ......"

In this era of increasing emphasis on firepower, the importance of guns cannot be overstated. However, for guns, the importance of bullets is not bad at all.

Because, on the battlefield, a rifle that loses its bullet is likely to be inferior to a broadsword.

For the current Yang Xingguo, the rifle is enough.

Purchased from Lushun, plus the ones seized here, the equipment of the entire cottage has been rubbed more than enough. However, the bullet was far from meeting Yang Xingguo's requirements.

In the case that they do not have the ability to produce bullets themselves, a limited number of bullets can be said to be one less shot than one shot.

Under such circumstances, Yang Xingguo has paid far more attention to bullets than rifles.

Therefore, when he heard that he had captured more than 10,000 bullets given up by Lao Maozi just in the checkpoint, his whole face was directly covered with excitement.

There are more than 10,000 bullets in the level, plus what everyone found from Lao Maozi, which is more than 20,000 rounds, which is enough for the entire cottage to fight a skirmish with the enemy......

So, as soon as Zhong Hu's words were finished, Yang Xingguo ordered very decisively: "After the convoy comes after a while, except for a hundred catties of grain and a part of pork, all the other seizures will be loaded, especially bullets, not a single bullet can be left for Lao Maozi......"

"And Brother Zhao, on your side, the seized rifle will not be handed over if it is one person or another. However, the bullets must be turned in for centralized distribution. We have limited ammunition and we have to save some of it. Each of the brothers left 20 rounds of ammunition for emergency, and the rest were all handed in. If there is a battle, it will be distributed uniformly according to the actual situation......"

Zhao Zhigang on the side replied without thinking about it: "Big boss, there is no problem, I will let the brothers do it immediately......"

Soon, more than five thousand rounds of ammunition were sent to Zhong Hu. At the same time, Zhao Zhigang also made a count of the remaining brothers in his hands.

What made Zhao Zhigang feel fortunate was that because of Yang Xingguo's timely appearance, seventy-three of the more than 100 brothers he brought out were still alive. What's more, these living brothers are all old brothers who have followed him for at least half a year.

Yang Xingguo is also very happy about this result.

The reconnaissance squad plus the guard squad, plus more than 70 people in Zhao Zhigang's hands, that is the number 100 people.

In this way, in the next two days of marching, there is no need to be afraid of being discovered by the enemy and have no room to fight back.

What's more, the battle that just ended in front of me doesn't know when it gave Yang Xingguo an inspiration.

Now that he has enough men in his hands, he no longer needs to hide and hide for the next march.

Not only that, but he can also take the sheep and loot all the three remaining old Maozi checkpoints on the official road.

Of course, on the way here, Yang Xingguo had already inquired and confirmed that he had taken refuge in Lao Maozi, and the two traitors who also helped Lao Maozi to fight for the tiger were also listed by Yang Xingguo as the target of attack and looting along the way.

When Yang Xingguo said this idea, whether it was his old subordinates Zhang Shanlin and Li Xiaohu, or Zhao Zhigang, who had just decided to take refuge in him, it was as if they had discussed it, and at the same time expressed their agreement.

A night's rest and a full meal just now made all the brothers around Yang Xingguo forget the fatigue of last night's battle.

Looking at the high-morale subordinates in front of him, Yang Xingguo was both excited and looking forward to today's one-day march.

Facing Zhang Shanlin, Li Xiaohu, and Zhao Zhigang at the same time, Yang Xingguo did not hesitate much, and ordered very decisively: "Brother Zhao, you are the head snake in this area, where there are landlords and bullies along the official road, where there are Lao Maozi checkpoints, you know better than us...... So, you deserve this reconnaissance mission......"

"You choose ten good skills from your old brothers, keep a distance of one mile from the convoy to explore the way, find out the situation, and report to me as soon as possible......

"The rest of the brothers, I personally command and protect the convoy ......"

In one morning and four hours, the convoy traveled more than 40 miles very smoothly.

Just when Yang Xingguo thought that the morning had passed so safely, he began to think about where to rest for an hour.

Zhang Shanlin, who was following Yang Xingguo, suddenly reminded: "Big boss, there is a situation ......."

As soon as he finished speaking, a brother who followed Zhao Zhigang to investigate ran towards him.

"Big boss, our boss asked me to report that there is a traitor who lives in the town in front of him who does things for Lao Maozi, and he has more than 30 thugs under his command, should we destroy them......"

Yang Xingguo's eyes lit up, and he replied without thinking: "Just now I was still thinking of where to prepare lunch for my brothers, and you came...... It seems that God told us to eliminate this traitor and rest in the town ahead......"

"Go back and tell Zhao Zhigang that if this traitor is equipped with a fast gun, his task is to surround them...... If not, just kill him, I will arrive with the convoy later, and at noon today, we will rest at the traitor's house and have lunch......"

At this moment, although Zhao Zhigang only has ten brothers around him, he is very bold.

Because, the ten brothers are all Mosin Nagant rifles of one water, and each of them has twenty rounds.

As for himself, in addition to the Mosin Nagant rifle and twenty rounds of ammunition, there was also a Mauser pistol and fifty rounds of ammunition that Yang Xingguo specially allocated to himself.

The power of the pistol, in the battle last night, Zhao Zhigang has already seen.

It can be said that as long as it is used properly, it is completely worth the firepower of ten fast guns firing at the same time.

Therefore, when he received Yang Xingguo's order, he decided to take matters into his own hands and eliminate the traitors in the town without thinking about it.
