Devil's Army

Chapter 147: Emptying the Fengtian Arsenal and Ammunition Depot

As soon as the troops captured Fengtian, Leng Feng arranged for the troops to search for the Japanese, the puppet army and the remnants of the puppet public security army, while at the same time asking the convoy to enter the city to move equipment to the arsenal.

Nearly twenty trucks drove into Fengtian City in a mighty procession.

The common people who had been hiding in their rooms upon hearing the sound of gunfire opened their doors and ran to the road to welcome Leng Feng's troops.

Many young and middle-aged men asked to join the army to fight the Japanese on the spot. Leng Feng simply set up several recruitment points in the city and accepted applications from the people to join the army.

Engineer Li and the arsenal technicians he brought with him entered the arsenal on the second truck.

When the gunfire stopped, the workers in the factory had already walked out of the arsenal workshop. However, when they saw a long line of Japanese trucks driving into the arsenal, they hurriedly hid in the arsenal workshop.

At this time, Li Gong and the technicians he brought with him got off the car. Many of the old people in the arsenal knew Li Gong and these technicians, and they ran out to greet them. Those new workers who didn't know Li Gong and his team also walked out of the workshop and surrounded them.

Li Gong was also very happy to see these workers who used to work with him day and night. He said to them loudly: "Workers, the Japanese used these equipment to produce weapons to fight us. Now we will dismantle them all, empty them, and bring them to our side to produce weapons and ammunition to fight the Japanese."

"Great!" The workers at the arsenal cheered and looked for suitable tools to unload the equipment at the arsenal.

The workers unloaded the equipment from the arsenal one by one. Some of Leng Feng's troops helped unload the equipment, while others loaded the unloaded equipment onto trucks.

At this time Leng Feng also came over. He saw the team members and workers who were working hard, but did not go over to disturb them. Instead, he walked to the armory next to them.

He used the butt of his gun to break the lock of the armory, and several team members pushed open the heavy iron door of the armory.

Gray Wolf and Li Guozhu, whose faces were blackened by the flames of war, followed. The moment the door of the armory was opened, they were all stunned.

"Oh my goodness, there are so many good things!" exclaimed the gray wolf.

"No wonder Musashi was so dedicated to reinforcing Fengtian. It turns out that he regarded Fengtian as an ammunition supply point for the Rehe Campaign." said Li Guozhu.

There were no less than 50 trucks parked neatly in the ammunition depot, and barrels of gasoline were neatly stacked next to the trucks. Next to the gasoline were various guns, ammunition, mortars, mountain guns, field guns, howitzers, etc. piled up like a small mountain...

What excited Leng Feng the most was that there were five 75mm anti-aircraft guns and five anti-aircraft machine guns in the ammunition depot.

"Captain, we don't have enough drivers." Gray Wolf said beside him.

Leng Feng also regretted not training a group of drivers in advance. Now he can't find anyone when he needs them. What should he do?

Leng Feng ordered that all team members who had driven or even touched a car should gather at the arsenal immediately. He was also recruiting drivers who could drive in Fengtian City.

After a while, the team members who could drive and the common people gathered at the gate of the arsenal.

Leng Feng arranged for the drivers to check the trucks and then drive them to the arsenal next door to load equipment.

Leng Feng left five team members who could drive and asked them to load the five 150mm large-caliber howitzers and some ammunition from the arsenal onto the vehicle and drive it to support Wang Zhuangfei who was still confronting the Japanese reinforcements from Kaiyuan. He also arranged for five former special forces members who could use these howitzers to bring some team members with them.

Because it was very troublesome to dismantle and load the arsenal equipment, although the workers and many team members were working hard to dismantle and load the equipment, there were still many empty cars waiting nearby.

Time is life, so Leng Feng ordered half of the waiting vehicles to go to the ammunition depot to transport guns and ammunition.

Trucks drove out of Fengtian City and headed towards the Oroqen tribe.

In order to ensure the concealment of the tunnel going down the mountain, Wenlang arranged a team of soldiers at the anti-tank cone fortifications. All the drivers of the troops drove directly through the tunnel entrance to transport the equipment into the tribe, while the drivers of the civilians stopped their cars there, turned around and drove the empty trucks next to them back to Fengtian City to load the goods.

Although the ordinary drivers did not know the reason, they were still very happy that they could contribute to the anti-Japanese war.

Leader Miao arranged for all the men in the tribe, young and old, whoever could move, to go and help.

The report of Major Fujie in Kaihara being blocked from reinforcing Fengtian was passed to Commander Musashi's office. Musashi Nobuyoshi knew the importance of Fengtian. There were countless weapons, ammunition, food supplies and other materials prepared to reinforce the Rehe Campaign. Because the Rehe Campaign was progressing too smoothly, they had not been used yet.

What gave him even more of a headache was what Major Fujie reported to him: three of their bombers were hit by unknown shells and exploded in mid-air at the same time.

The opponent has a weapon to shoot down planes, which means he no longer has air superiority.

After much consideration, he decided to have Lieutenant Colonel Takeda Kawayo lead more than 5,000 Imperial Army and Imperial Alliance Army to attack from both sides together with Major Fujie of Kaihara to recapture Fengtian City.

Leng Feng, who had expected Musashi Nobuyoshi to do this, had already sent a golden eagle to patrol the road from Rehe to Fengtian. Leng Feng quickly caught sight of Takeda Kawo's actions.

Since the arsenal had not been completely dismantled, and the materials in the ammunition depot had not been completely transferred, Leng Feng needed time, time!

He immediately sent a messenger to the pass on the mountainside of Hejiazhai to call Wulang and order him to lead the Second Battalion to set up defenses step by step along the road from Rehe to Fengtian to resist and slow down the speed of the Japanese reinforcements. Finally, he and the Jackal's First Battalion resisted the Japanese reinforcements for three days. After three days, they decided on their own direction of retreat.

A fierce battle is about to break out!
