In fact, when the brigade commander was on the road, he saw men, women, and children in Gaojiazhuang using their own wheelbarrows or carts to help carry weapons and ammunition.

For safety reasons, Kong Hao arranged some soldiers to move the weapons and ammunition boxes to the door of the arsenal, and then the villagers transported the boxes to Gaojiazhuang, which saved a lot of time.

Brigade Commander Chen was also very satisfied with Kong Hao's arrangement. He was truly a rare talent. No matter what he did, he planned everything and never showed any panic.

Even if he encountered this situation, he could probably only do this much.

However, the more this happens, the more difficult it becomes for the brigade commander. They have done well in every aspect, and making choices in the future will be a big problem. It will be a great pity to let Kong Hao give up any aspect.

After arriving at the armory, Kong Hao gave a detailed introduction:

"We were short on manpower, so we could only roughly confirm the status of the weapons in the areas around the armory. There were also some mechanical equipment inside that were of little use to the current battle, so we ignored them."

When Brigade Commander Chen heard about the machinery and equipment, he immediately became very interested.

You know, for the Eighth Route Army, anything related to mechanical equipment is an important material that is given top priority.

Even the oldest lathe is a treasure to the arsenal.

It may be that Kong Hao joined the Eighth Route Army for too short a time and his rank was too low, so he had no contact with such matters at all.

When Brigade Commander Chen and Kong Hao arrived at the innermost space of the armory, they found that the equipment inside was sealed and placed together, with about twenty or thirty devices densely packed together.

Brigade Commander Chen walked up to a large piece of equipment and asked someone to remove the oil-tight sealing paper inside, revealing the true appearance inside.

"This is a rifling device. How could the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army be willing to leave such a treasure here?"

After saying this, he personally started to dismantle other equipment together with several other people.

At this time, Kong Hao pretended to find an iron box nearby, opened it, and took out a piece of information.

"Brigade Commander, there seems to be a list of supplies here."

Brigade Commander Chen hurriedly took it and took a quick look. His eyes were puzzled at first, then excited, and finally became extremely serious.

Then he decisively issued a new order:

"Xiao Kong, gather the special forces and guard here. No one is allowed to approach without my order."

"By the way, your special forces team is equipped with a radio. I need to use it to send an urgent telegram to the headquarters."

At this time, he was extremely grateful that he had equipped the special forces with a radio in order to verify new tactics.

Otherwise, if they relied on signalmen to deliver messages, the Eighth Route Army would miss a great opportunity.

No matter what the reason was, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army hid a bullet production line and rifling machines in this inconspicuous place. Now everything here belongs to the Eighth Route Army, and no one can take it away.

According to the information on the document, this is a production line that can produce 30 bullets per month. Perhaps for other forces, this is not a big deal.

But for the Eighth Route Army, which lacked everything, this was an epoch-making good thing that could completely raise the combat effectiveness of their troops to several levels.

To make an inappropriate analogy, even if the entire 386th Brigade were put together, it would probably not be as important as this bullet production line.

Not to mention, there are many other devices on the list that no amount of money can buy.

When he saw the defensive position arranged by Kong Hao before, he thought it was a bit too much. Now it seems that such an arrangement is not feasible and is too conservative.

With the sending of a top-secret telegram from Brigade Commander Chen, the entire headquarters was in a state of excitement. A production line that could produce 30 rounds of bullets a month was of vital importance to the Eighth Route Army.

In order not to arouse the enemy's vigilance, most of the troops were not mobilized, and this difficult task was assigned to the Taiyue Military Region.

However, the other troops were just prepared. As long as the Japanese showed signs of large-scale mobilization, they would take the initiative to join the battle and tie down all the Japanese.

It was only because the 386th Brigade had previously handed over a large amount of ammunition to the headquarters that the various troops had the courage to continue fighting.

Judging from the current situation, this arsenal was only discovered accidentally by the 386nd Regiment of the 772th Brigade. If they keep a low profile, they should be able to transport all the items back silently.

When Brigade Commander Chen finished sending the telegram and came out of the armory, the 772st Battalion of the nd Regiment had already arrived.

However, when the soldiers of the first battalion saw the density of light and heavy machine guns on the position, their eyes almost popped out.

Everyone was sighing in their hearts: It turns out that we can play like this, we have broadened our horizons today.

The brigade commander felt relieved when he saw the 772st Battalion, the strongest main force of the nd Regiment, arrived. With such an ace force in hand, he would be much safer in the future.

To be honest, most of the people Kong Hao had before were from the logistics troops. They were not proficient in fighting at all. They just went forward because they had no other choice.

Now that we have a regular main force, everyone goes back to their old job and moves supplies from the arsenal.

However, after the first battalion took over the position, it simply added light and heavy machine guns and mortars according to its own troop organization.

That is, the entire battalion has light machine guns equipped in squads, heavy machine guns equipped in platoons, and there is also an artillery platoon.

However, to be on the safe side, Kong Hao specially asked people to bring 50 Jin-made Mauser pistols and 100 Jin-made submachine guns to strengthen the automatic firepower of the first battalion.

After the first battalion was fully equipped, its firepower output capability was greatly enhanced. The most important thing was that there was an arsenal behind them with endless bullets and grenades.

According to Captain Meng, with the current combat effectiveness of the 1st Battalion, even if the Japanese sent a battalion of troops, they would definitely be defeated without returning.

Previously, due to the lack of ammunition, the troops were hesitant in fighting and were unable to take advantage of the large number of veterans in the 772st Battalion of the nd Regiment.

Now they have endless ammunition. Once the enemy attacks, they just need to shoot from their positions. Even if a regiment of the Japanese comes, they can stop them.

Two hours later, the main force of the 772nd Regiment arrived and, according to the old rules, replenished ammunition for all troops, with at least rounds for each soldier.

This time, Captain Cheng brought a large transport team to be responsible for transporting supplies.

Basically, a company of troops were sent out to escort fifty trucks to prevent any accidents from happening.

The cavalry battalion will also patrol along the way to guard against sneak attacks by the Japanese.

In fact, the brigade commander was being too cautious. Nowadays, no Japanese dared to come out and cause trouble. They all retreated into strongholds or county towns to protect themselves.

Another hour later, Minister Zhang also arrived with the logistics transport team escorted by a main force regiment.

Before the person arrived, his voice was heard:

"Where are my weapons and ammunition?"
