Now when Commander Ma thought about his arrogant thoughts, his scalp went numb.

However, Kong Hao did not have the energy to care about other people's psychological activities at this time. He just said anxiously:

"Commander Ma, there are a lot of guns and ammunition in this fortification, and there are also a lot of ammunition in the Japanese barracks arsenal. You should quickly let the troops of the first and third regiments come over to change their equipment and take over the defense position."

"Chief of Staff Li, quickly get the transport team and train station personnel that we prepared to come in. We don't have much time left, so we need to quickly transport all the supplies away."

This was exactly what Commander Ma was waiting for. This was the complete equipment of an entire infantry squadron of the Japanese devils, and it was all seized without a single shot being fired.

According to the Japanese organization, a squadron was fully staffed with 181 people, equipped with 9 light machine guns, 9 grenade launchers and 139 rifles, and the total number of bullets was at least over .

There are also three large bunkers at the railway station, each of which has two Type 92 heavy machine guns, a total of six, and corresponding light machine guns, a total of eighteen, and even two mortars, and countless ammunition.

Add to that the equipment of a puppet army company, and there are quite a few good things.

All in all, their Third Military Region can be said to have made a fortune this time, as they accidentally picked up such a big bargain.

With these weapons and equipment of the Japanese devils, the combat effectiveness of their three-district can completely crush the Second Military Division. Even if they wrestle with the boastful First Military Division, they will not necessarily lose.

There is no way, sometimes luck is also a kind of strength. Who can blame them for being lucky enough that the Taigu Railway Station is right next to their jurisdiction?

This is what is called "the first to see the moon near the water, and the first to see spring when facing the sun."

Captain Quan of the First Regiment and Captain Wang of the Third Regiment had been drooling at the sight of the weapons and ammunition all over the ground. After hearing the order, they could no longer hold back.

The soldiers put aside their muskets, swords and spears and picked up the puppet army's Liao-Shisan and Hanyang-made rifles, with about fifty rounds of bullets each.

As for all the veterans, the miscellaneous rifles they had used before were uniformly replaced with the Japanese Type 38 rifles, and the bullets were also in accordance with the Japanese standards, with each rifleman having 125 rounds.

There was no other way. There was a small arsenal at the train station, and the bullets in it were enough to equip the two regiments of the Third Division so luxuriously.

Even the previous light machine guns with worn-out rifling or missing bipods were eliminated from the army, and there were no new light machine guns to replace them.

Of course, all the weapons that have been replaced will not be thrown away. They will be piled aside and wait for the transport team to bring them back and use them to form new troops.

The soldiers of the 1st and 3rd Regiments were holding weapons that were 80% new, and their bullet bags and boxes were full. Their spirits were lifted.

Now with such good weapons and so much ammunition, they would not be afraid even if facing a battalion of Japanese troops.

When the transport team arrived, they immediately split into two parts. Some people who drove large carts loaded the more important supplies onto the carts and left the train station directly.

Now we have to take advantage of the night and transport as much supplies as possible before the Japanese notice anything unusual.

Of course, the road to the train station is not wide, and everyone cannot rush in to transport supplies, and the base cannot mobilize so many horse-drawn carriages in a short period of time.

Generally, horse-drawn carriages transport supplies to a place two kilometers away from the station, where there is an open area that is perfect for storing supplies.

When the convoy arrived, the people who had been waiting unloaded the supplies, and then a large number of ordinary people used wheelbarrows, carried them on shoulder poles, or transported them to the next place.

Eventually, this relay method was used to transport the supplies to the base and store them in a dispersed manner.

The power of the people is great and can exceed all limits.

When many ordinary people heard that they could help the Eighth Route Army, the able-bodied laborers in their families dropped everything and came to the assembly point without hesitation.

Families with livestock drove carts, while poor families without livestock set out with shoulder poles on their shoulders.

Moreover, everyone brought their own dry food so as not to cause trouble to the troops.

This is a contribution to the War of Resistance, and everyone's face is filled with happiness.

Of course, the Taiyue Military Region also dispatched a large number of troops to guard the long-planned transportation routes to ensure the absolute safety of the transportation of materials.

Different materials have different transportation lines. Large quantities of food, for example, are basically transported to nearby fortress villages for storage, and then transported back to the base after the incident.

However, important materials such as cotton and cotton cloth should be transported back to the base first. If these good things were discovered and snatched away by the Japanese, the loss would be huge.

However, top-level items like machinery and equipment require special transport teams to transport them, and they are also escorted by the main force.

In short, tonight's operation was the Eighth Route Army's full use of its strong organizational capabilities, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

Another group of people moved some minor supplies out of the warehouse and quickly transported them to the trains parked on the platform. After the trains were full, they quickly left the train station.

At the same time, there is a relatively flat wasteland five kilometers away from the railway station, which is the best place for unloading.

Kong Hao brought Chief of Staff Li and Commander Ma to the first material warehouse, followed by a large group of transport personnel.

These transport personnel are organized very tightly, with groups of ten people, each group has a team leader leading the work, and every ten groups form a team, with a person with strong leadership as the team leader.

When the warehouse was opened, what appeared before everyone was a warehouse full of sacks.

Someone climbed up and dropped a few sacks. When they opened them, they immediately exclaimed:

"This is cotton, top-quality cotton. It's perfect for making cotton-padded clothes and quilts."

"Oh my God, the whole room is full of them. How many are there?"

Most of the people present swore in their hearts that they had never seen such a scene before. There were at least five or six hundred tons of cotton piled together. This scene was unforgettable for them.

Seeing this, Kong Hao quickly gave the order:

"Everyone was divided into two groups, half of them moved the cotton onto trucks for transportation, and the other half moved it onto trains."

He made preparations for both scenarios and would not put all his eggs in one basket. Otherwise, if any problems arose, the Eighth Route Army would suffer heavy losses.

The transport team behind quickly took action. Many people climbed to the top of the cargo and threw down sacks full of cotton. At the same time, two people caught them below, and then another person carried them and ran away.

These people were originally coolies doing porter work at the nearby railway station. They used to work for the Japanese, so they must have been thinking of ways to cheat and do less work.

But now we are moving things for the Eighth Route Army, which is just like working for our own family and requires a lot of effort.
