Marching all the way, the group walked for several hours with torches, Yang Yuanshan estimated that the little devil should not be able to catch up, and immediately ordered the whole battalion to find a sheltered place to stop, eat something, and rest before leaving.

The soldiers of the special battalion were all strong and strong, but the seven or eight hundred miners they recruited to join the special battalion were not good.

In the coal mine, they were oppressed by the little devils to work intensively, but the food was ridiculously poor, all of them were yellow and thin, and their bodies were very weak.

Now after walking for a few hours, I am already trembling and unable to walk.

……

Hearing that Yang Yuanshan ordered to rest, the soldiers of the special service battalion immediately stopped and found a place to rest.

Then he took off his bag of dry food from his shoulder, picked up the kettle on his waist, took a bite of fried noodles and water, and ate it.

Those miners were rescued from the coal mine with nothing on them, and they couldn't help but be very envious when they watched the soldiers of the special service battalion eat sweetly.

When Yang Yuanshan saw this, he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to give some of their fried noodles and water to the miners, and solve the urgent need first.

When the miners ate the sweet fried noodles, they couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.

There's sugar in there?!

When they grow so big, they will boil a little maltose to relieve their hunger except when they are good, how can they have eaten sugar at other times?

When I eat it now, I instantly feel tears in my eyes!

That's the feeling of bliss!

Sugars are the easiest substances to be converted into energy for humans, so at the genetic level, humans have made a mark of liking to eat sugar.

Now the sugar in the fried noodles has strengthened the belief of these miners to follow the secret service battalion.

Everyone thought: This spy battalion is too wide, and when I fought the little devils before, the shells were as rainy as the shells, and I could still give candy to the soldiers!

I've come to the right place this time!

For a while, the miners only felt that they had strength all over their bodies, and the cold wind in the middle of the night did not feel cold, and they even wished to come to some enemies, let them destroy them, make a meritorious contribution, and accept a name.

……

After eating some dry food, Yang Yuanshan called Wei Dayong again and asked him to take people to the front to reconnoiter and find a village to camp.

Wei Dayong agreed, and took people with him, and within half an hour, he hurriedly ran back to report:

"Battalion commander, in a valley 3 kilometers ahead, there is a village, about 100 families."

"Okay, lead the way, let's go to the village for the night."

Soon, the whole battalion came to the outside of the village, and Yang Yuanshan asked Zhao Li to lead people to knock on doors from house to house.

The people were disturbed in the middle of the night, and naturally panicked, thinking that the bandits and strongmen were coming, and they were waiting to see the Eighth Road, so they were relieved.

Hurriedly boiled water and vacated the house.

Yang Yuanshan asked the villagers to send some captured coal as payment, and then arranged for the soldiers to go into the village to find a place to rest.

With so many people, naturally they can't all go into the house to sleep, but having an eaves and corner to keep out the wind and rain is already quite good.

The villagers couldn't help but be very surprised to see that most of the other party was sleeping under the eaves, except for the wounded soldiers sleeping in the house.

I secretly said in my heart: It is rumored that the Eight Roads do not disturb the people, and I thought that someone was exaggerating, but now it is true, it is really an iron army!

Seeing this scene, they naturally trusted our army more and more in their hearts, and many of them were originally going to use hoes against the door of their houses, but they didn't have to work hard at this time.

……

Early the next morning, the whole army had breakfast, and then continued to camp north.

After another day of walking, they finally passed by Yangshugou Village, Yang Yuanshan didn't care that it was still early, Han Yang and the others were a little suspicious, and ordered to enter the village to rest.

As the base of our army, the villagers in the village were naturally very enthusiastic when they saw Yang Yuanshan and they came back from the battle.

Especially the previous time, Yang Yuanshan also sent the ocean door to door!

So at this time, not only did they help boil water for cooking, but they also vacated each family's house for them to live in.

Yang Yuanshan ordered the soldiers to send some of the captured coal to the villagers, and at the same time picked a few animals that were not in good condition and did not work hard to pull the carts, and killed them, stewed them into broth, and made up for the wounded and soldiers.

Even the villagers, he went door-to-door and asked people to send a bowl of broth, and there were more or two pieces of meat in the soup, although the meat was very small, but this also moved the villagers who could not see meat all year round to tears.

They kept chanting: Eight Roads is really their poor team.

……

asked the whole battalion to stay in this Yangshugou Village temporarily, and Yang Yuanshan called Han Yang again and asked the other party to arrange the sentry posts outside the village.

At the same time, he specially explained:

"Remember to send some scouts to reconnoiter the surrounding area, don't let us accidentally get into the pocket formation of the little devils, now we are not fully equipped with weapons, if we encounter an ambush, it will be bad."

Han Yang didn't feel anything wrong, nodded and went down to make arrangements.

Looking at his back, Yang Yuanshan secretly wondered: The valley where he hid his weapons and equipment was not far from this Yangshugou Village, shouldn't it be hidden?

If the scouts sent by Han Yang couldn't find out, shouldn't he send them all to the cooking class?

……

Of course, the situation that Yang Yuanshan envisioned did not appear.

Early the next morning, Han Yang rushed to Yang Yuanshan with excitement on his face:

"Battalion commander, battalion commander, we're rich!"

As soon as Yang Yuanshan heard it, he guessed what was probably going on, and immediately burst out with actor-level acting skills, pretending to be ignorant.

"What rich?

You kid is the deputy battalion commander, stabilize the point! ”

"It was the soldiers I sent out to reconnoiter the situation nearby, and in a valley, I found a large number of brand new weapons and equipment!

There are guns and cannons! ”

"What? Armament?

Let's go, take me to see it! ”

Yang Yuanshan seemed to be excited, and hurriedly walked out.

As Han Yang walked out of the village and saw that he really took him to the valley, Yang Yuanshan's heart suddenly relaxed.

Soon, the two came to the valley, where there were already several soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon guarding it, and when they saw Yang Yuanshan coming, they hurriedly shouted excitedly:

"Battalion commander, there are a lot of weapons and equipment here, brand new!"

Yang Yuanshan walked over, pretended to inspect it, and immediately ordered Han Yang:

"Let people move it, with so much equipment, we're really rich.

It just so happened that this time I hit the Shuiquan Coal Mine, and I consumed a lot, and now I have replenished it all. ”

When Han Yang heard this, he didn't take action, but hesitated:

"Battalion commander, this is also too strange, who would put so much equipment here?

It's incredible!

Looking at these equipment, they are basically the standard equipment of the little devils, could it be that the little devils did it? ”

"What are you doing with all that, kid?

Now that we've picked up the equipment, it's ours!

The little devil wants it, so you have to ask Lao Tzu if he agrees! ”

Yang Yuanshan couldn't help but scold in his heart: Put away your damn curiosity!

Equip you, and there are so many questions, are you Sherlock Holmes or Conan?!

Or is it Di Renjie?

Hearing his words, Han Yang couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart: Battalion commander, if you don't say anything else, this is exactly the same as the regiment commander!

Immediately, I could only agree to come down and run back to Yangshugou Village to find someone to carry it.

Yang Yuanshan waited for him to leave, and immediately told the soldiers guarding here that he was going to relieve himself, and then walked deep into the woods.

Seeing that no one noticed him, he threw out the equipment that had been exploded in the Shuiquan Coal Mine this time.

After throwing things away, he quietly walked back to his place, feigned curiosity, and went to open a few more ammunition boxes to check the equipment inside.

……

After a while, Han Yang came with the soldiers of the whole battalion and drove the mule and horse carts.

The big guy couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that there was so much equipment here.

But for the veterans of the special service battalion, they have become numb.

After all, the number of times the special battalion has picked up equipment is too much, which is not unusual at all.

And the miners and the few recruits who had never seen this scene were shocked.

I can't help but talk about it.

They all asked with a bewildered face:

"This weapon and equipment can also be picked up? And that's still so much?? ”

"Hmph, what do you know?

This may not be because the Jade Emperor saw that the little devil was too rampant, so he sent the gods down to earth and sent equipment to our eight roads. ”

"Shhh...... Isn't our spy battalion secretly blessed by the gods? ”

……

Yang Yuanshan didn't care about their discussions, and immediately ordered everyone to move the equipment together, first move all the equipment back to Yangshugou Village, and then slowly carry out the inventory.

At this time, Zhao Li briefly checked, and then walked over to Yang Yuanshan and said:

"Battalion commander, with so much equipment, relying on our current carts, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get back to Qixia Town, or let's send someone to transport the wounded and the remains of the martyrs back first, and then let Instructor Zhou mobilize thousands of militiamen to help carry it, right?"

As the logistics steward of the special service battalion, he naturally had a good sense of quantity, and just after a glance, he roughly knew that the quantity of this batch of equipment was not trivial, and immediately suggested it.

Yang Yuanshan pondered that in the batch of equipment he had just put away, the Erlikon machine gun was just that, and the weight of the Bofors 40mm anti-aircraft gun was not light, and it did need more people to carry it, so he nodded immediately:

"The wounded will not move for the first time, and they will recuperate in this poplar ditch for a few days, so as not to worsen the injury.

You send someone back with the remains of the martyrs, and then inform Lao Zhou. ”

"Yes!"

"By the way, let Lao Zhou bring some food, we are so many people outside now, and we consume a lot of food every day."

Yang Yuanshan confessed again.

Before, the dry food they brought was not much, but now that they have recruited seven or eight hundred miners, it is naturally even more stretched.

Hearing him mention the food problem, Zhao Li hurriedly nodded and said:

"Battalion commander, I was about to tell you, the food we brought is estimated to be eaten up tomorrow, I'm afraid I won't be able to insist on Instructor Zhou bringing food."

"It's okay, let's borrow a little sweet potato from the villagers around here first, and it won't be a problem to boil it for a few days."

When Lao Zhou brought the food, he returned it to the villagers.

I'll send someone to hunt nearby, and I'll add some more. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."
