Resistance against Japan: Starting with the local militia

Chapter 280 Transferring Supplies

"Brigade Commander, Brigade Commander, we received a message from Liu Hao that they have captured the Japanese armory in Wolongshan County."

"They are currently cooperating with the logistics team to speed up the transfer of supplies."

Zhang Haoshan jogged over and excitedly shouted at Tang Weiguo.

"Phew." Tang Weiguo let out a long breath.

Tang Weiguo, who had been sitting upright in the chair, immediately relaxed.

The attack on Wolongshan County was an unplanned operation outside the overall battle plan for attacking Lingshui County; there were no prior plans in place for the battle.

With the main force concentrated in Wolingshui County, this attack on Wolongshan County was an extremely risky decision.

If it fails, the Independent Brigade will suffer its biggest defeat since its inception.

Despite these risks, Tang Weiguo insisted on the decision to attack Wolong Mountain.

Because he was confident that every soldier in the independent brigade could create miracles.

As Tang Weiguo had hoped, Liu Hao's support team successfully occupied Wolongshan County.

Thinking of this, Tang Weiguo felt relieved and then stood up from his chair.

After pondering for a moment, he spoke to Zhang Haoshan.

"We must not let our guard down now! Once the Japanese reinforcements learn of this, they will surely launch an even fiercer attack on our blocking troops."

"The Japanese won't let us take this batch of weapons and ammunition so easily."

"Brigade Commander, I will immediately send a telegram to all blocking units, instructing them to spare no effort to block the Japanese reinforcements from Wolongshan County and ensure the smooth transport of this batch of ammunition to our Wolongshan Brigade Headquarters!"

"Now that the combat mission in Wolongshan County is over, Liu Hao's support regiment will leave behind the necessary guard troops, and the rest will be divided into two groups: one to support Zhou Liansheng's troops, and the other to support Cao Yingjie's guard regiment."

"Yes!"

"Furthermore, notify the logistics regiment to do everything possible to clear out the Japanese warehouses and evacuate Wolongshan County within two hours."

"Tell Bi Shoucai, this is a strict order. He must empty the place within two hours!"

"Yes!"

"Where are Niu Dali's troops now?"

“One battalion of the reconnaissance team has already crossed the Juma River and is less than an hour away from Ping’an Town,” Zhang Haoshan replied.

"it is good."

"Notify Zhou Liansheng that once Niu Dali joins up with them, the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment should immediately return to reinforce Qingshan County."

"It's obvious that Li Yunfei is in a difficult situation right now."

"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."

"Mm." Tang Weiguo nodded.

Zhang Haoshan then ran out.

. . . .

In Wolong Mountain City, Liu Hao received the latest order from the brigade headquarters to urgently assemble the troops.

"Report, the First and Second Battalions have assembled. Please give instructions."

"Alright, the First Battalion will follow me to Ping'an Town immediately to provide support, and the Second Battalion will follow Deputy Regiment Commander Li Jun to Lijia Gou immediately. We'll set off now."

After Liu Hao gave the order, the entire replenishment regiment sprang into action again, except for the Third Battalion, which remained to guard Wolongshan County. The First and Second Battalions each ran towards their designated targets.

"Hurry up, keep up from behind!"

The two battalion commanders kept urging the troops to move!

Bi Shoucai, who was directing the transport of supplies at Wolong Mountain, also received orders from Tang Weiguo.

"Two hours?" Bi Shouchai asked the communications soldier in front of him, seemingly doubting the correctness of the order.

"Yes, Director Bi, I've checked and there's no problem."

"I'm going to have to pull out all the stops!"

"Order the motor transport battalion and mule teams to prioritize transporting the heavier supplies, and give each of them one of the lighter supplies to carry back."

"Also, notify the deputy commander to mobilize the local people and move the goods back to their original location!"

"Yes."

With Tang Weiguo's order, the already busy logistics regiment became even busier!

"Damn it, just give me another battalion's worth of trucks!" Bi Shoucai stamped his feet anxiously.
