Commander Ma looked at the scene in front of him and nodded in praise:

"Not bad, really not bad. You have seized so much money and gold in one go. Your Second Regiment has done a great deed. Maybe you can even get praise from the head of the headquarters and be commended by the whole army."

"I am very satisfied with this surprise. It is very important to our military sub-district and even the brigade."

After saying this, he felt that he had seen enough for today and wanted to walk out of the room. Captains Sun and Zheng did the same, but they were suddenly stopped by Captain Bai.

"You guys are leaving now, and the surprise I mentioned hasn't even arrived yet?"

Upon hearing this, the three of them immediately stopped and turned around, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.

The impatient Captain Sun asked impatiently, "Old Bai, the surprise you just mentioned, isn't it these dollars and gold bars in front of you?"

"I say, Old Sun, you are just this lowly, why are your eye sockets so shallow?"

"These dollars and gold are indeed good things, but they cannot be kept in our military sub-district. They are just icing on the cake."

"The thing I'm talking about can greatly improve the combat effectiveness of our troops. How about you guess what it is? By the way, I'll examine your vision and perspective."

After hearing Captain Bai's proposal, the three people present immediately became very interested and spoke out the answers in their hearts.

The first person to speak was Captain Sun. He thought for a moment and said in a serious tone:

"If there is anything that can improve the strength of our military sub-district at this stage, it must be the Japanese Type 92 infantry gun."

"The damn Japanese are so disgusting. They built artillery towers all over the ground, and some of them even reached the hinterland of our military sub-district. It's like a thorn in our throat, making us feel very uncomfortable."

"But our troops don't have barreled artillery that can directly destroy the enemy's artillery towers, and we are simply unable to crack the Japanese's vicious strategy."

"If our military sub-district has a Type 92 infantry gun and enough shells, then the Japanese's artillery tower will become our material supply warehouse."

After hearing this, Captain Bai could only shake his head and utter two words: "No".

Next it was Captain Zheng's turn. He thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he could only raise his doubts.

"If it's not the Type 92 infantry gun, then it could be a mountain gun or an Italian gun. That would be even better."

Captain Bai also smiled but said nothing after hearing this. Commander Ma suddenly thought of something and uttered four words:

"Military radio."

After saying this, he looked at Captain Bai with expectant eyes. This radio station was his concern and something he had always dreamed of.

However, the Eighth Route Army had no extra radio stations. If they wanted to obtain a radio station, they had to capture it. The Japanese troops were generally equipped with radio stations at least at the battalion level. Their military sub-district simply did not have the ability to wipe out a battalion of the Japanese.

If they rely on their superiors to distribute it, it will probably take forever. After all, there are at least dozens of combat units like theirs, and the heads of the headquarters simply cannot take care of them all.

After hearing this, Captain Bai gave the commander a thumbs up and praised him:

"After all, the older you are, the wiser you are. This time, I guessed it right."

After he finished speaking, he walked directly to the table beside him, uncovered a piece of silk cloth, and revealed what was inside.

When Commander Ma saw that it was really what he had been longing for, he hurried over, took out the radio from the box, and carefully placed it on the table, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.

After seeing the radio, Captain Sun and Captain Zheng were overjoyed. Now their military sub-district had its own military radio station, which was a relief for them.

In the Eighth Route Army's combat sequence, troops with radio stations and those without radio stations were treated completely differently.

For example, in this combat mission, if this place was not the territory of their Third Military Division, they would probably not have gotten this good thing.

Generally speaking, the brigade headquarters would issue orders via radio to mobilize troops for combat. If there were no radio, the orders could only be issued by communicators on horseback, and precious opportunities for combat would have been lost long ago.

After a long while, Commander Ma sighed and said quietly:

"This time I finally got what I wanted. The brigade commander and the political commissar had promised me that any radio stations we captured would belong to our military sub-district for its own use."

"Now that we have our own military radio, when I go to the brigade headquarters for a meeting, the other military sub-district commanders who have radios won't laugh at me."

After saying this, he dispatched all the members of the military sub-district guard company and ordered them to escort the ocean, gold bars and radio stations back to the military sub-district headquarters. This was their biggest gain this time.

Kong Hao led his men to another destination quickly, as the vanguard of the large force, to understand the situation there.

As the convoy approached the border of He County, it encountered an emergency and heard a burst of fierce gunfire from the front.

Kong Hao led the reconnaissance team to conduct reconnaissance and confirm the situation. If it was a friendly force, their special forces would help no matter what.

Through the telescope, it was discovered that a small force was ambushing a Japanese transport team. This is currently the best tactic for the Chinese army to defeat the strong with the weak.

Judging from the uniform style of the friendly forces, they should be the Sichuan Army, and judging from the gunshots, they were Sichuan-made Type 79 rifles and Czech light machine guns, which also indirectly confirmed this point.

The Sichuan Army had a company with a large number of men, but their equipment was very poor. Apart from a Czech light machine gun, they only had homemade rifles and grenades.

The Japanese had a reinforced squad and more than a dozen military trucks, at least ten Type 99 light machine guns and five or six grenade launchers. An ordinary Chinese infantry company could not pose much threat to them.

Moreover, this place is not far from their main force. As long as they can hold on for three hours, reinforcements will arrive.

In fact, this material supply route was often harassed, and the Japanese had long been accustomed to it, so they just relied on cars and a large number of light machine guns to block the road, hoping to make the attackers retreat.

The company responsible for ambushing the Japanese transport convoy was the Second Company of the Third Battalion of the Sichuan Army Corps. The company commander's surname is Wu. Yesterday, he led his team here to ambush the enemy's transport convoy on the orders of the battalion commander.

Their Sichuan Army Corps was stationed in Dawang Town to cover the flank of the Hexian defense line, but because their equipment was too poor, ammunition was also in short supply.

Although they received a batch of ammunition supplies from the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army when they arrived, they were basically consumed after several days of fighting.

However, the Japanese soldiers opposite them were not having an easy time either. A battalion of troops was blocked by the flesh and blood of the Sichuan Army.
