Traveling through 1937, starting from the Battle of Songhu

Chapter 268 I'll come back after I'm full

The next day, after the handover was completed, Gu Changfeng led the team back to Gaojia Town.

Gu Changfeng was not interested in cities. He still preferred the atmosphere of Gaojia Town. Besides, he did not have enough talent to govern the town.

Two days later, when the convoy entered Gaojia Town, the whole town was in an uproar, and people came out to watch and talk about it.

The harvest was indeed huge. There were more than 20 Japanese military vehicles plus the previous 10, all of which were fully loaded.

The soldiers were almost all carrying a lot of supplies.

Various types of artillery shells, bullets, firearms, Japanese canned dry food, and medicines.

It can be said that based on this seizure, Gu Changfeng can fully rest assured to develop, and even fight a large-scale battle.

"Captain Gu, have you taken down Laiyuan City?" a brave citizen shouted.

"Yes, this time we'll be away for a few days and wipe out all the devils in Laiyuan City."

Gu Changfeng, who was riding on a horse, answered with a smile. He was quite famous in Gaojia Town, and he was not arrogant.

People usually chat with him when they meet him in the town, so the people here are not really afraid of him.

After hearing Gu Changfeng's exact answer, the people's discussion became even more heated.

An old man in his forties or fifties said to the people around him in disbelief:

"Aren't there rumors out there that the Japanese are brutal? My relatives in Majiayu said that many families with daughters there have been harmed by the Japanese."

"Lao Zhang, the security team there is full of good-for-nothings. How can they compare with Captain Gu?"

"Captain Gu is the reincarnation of Zhao Zilong. With him here, the Japanese won't be able to enter Gaojia Town. The people of Gaojia Town are blessed."

The rebuttal of the person next to him left the old man surnamed Zhang speechless. Gaojia Town had undergone tremendous changes in just a few months, and coupled with the soldiers' bodies and the supplies on the military vehicles, he couldn't help but believe it.

On the other side, the conversation between several young people also reached Gu Changfeng's ears.

"Tiedan, let's go join Captain Gu's team. I heard from a cousin in the neighboring village that they have meat for every meal."

"My cousin used to be as skinny as a monkey, but the last time I saw him, he had completely changed. He looked like a calf, with arms full of flesh."

"Daniu, are you sure you have meat for every meal?"

"Why would I lie to you? Everything I said is true."

"Then I'll go. The problem is how do I sign up?"

"Hehe, my second uncle is in the militia company, Tiedan, when the time comes you can join the militia company with me..."

Listening to the people's discussions, Gu Changfeng smiled knowingly. With the popular support, no matter what he did in the future, he would be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Having so many supplies, we can’t just leave them there. We need to hire more people to consume them.

After returning safely to the Xianyaling base, the chief steward Zhou Qianli was already waiting at the intersection with his men.

"Thank you for your hard work, brothers. After you put everything away, go wash up first. Dinner will be served later, and there will be plenty of meat."

Zhou Qianli's voice made the soldiers who had been running around for several days very happy. They had meat to eat when they came back. Even gods could not compare to this life.

Afterwards, the soldiers from each battalion, led by the logistics department, placed the supplies in warehouses in Xianyaling and the mountains behind.

"The feeling of being full makes people feel at ease." Wan Chenghai sighed.

"Battalion Commander, Commander Gu is amazing this time. The things he brought back are many times more valuable than before."

The soldier next to him said with joy on his face.

There are actually more than seven battalions in this upgrade, but Wan Chenghai’s logistics department was not included.

But if an emergency really comes, the soldiers in the logistics department are still soldiers and can kill the Japanese.

"Hey, who said it wasn't? I didn't expect the harvest in Laiyuan to be so great." Wan Chenghai said happily.

The soldier next to him said, "If they come a few more times, I think we'll have to expand the warehouse again. There's simply not enough space."

Wan Chenghai was delighted to hear this. He looked at the soldiers and said, "Let's go. There are dozens of trucks of supplies outside."

In the evening, there is another grand bonfire party.

It turns out that the meat at noon is just an appetizer, and the main event is at night.

Zhou Qianli put a lot of thought into this evening's meal. He sent people to visit almost all the villages and markets in Gaojia Town before buying more than 200 pigs and sheep.

With more people and a bigger business, it was reasonable for Zhou Qianli to spend a little money to seize so many supplies.

Throughout the night, the aroma of meat filled the air from Xianya Ridge and the mountains behind it, and everyone ate with great joy.

The next day, the meeting began under the chairmanship of Zhou Qianli.

The main topics are the unit number and subsequent personnel arrangements.

Gu Changfeng had already considered this and was the first to propose, "There's no need to upgrade the team. Just add new recruits to each battalion based on the existing ones."

Zhao Ziqing frowned and said, "Will this lead to an overabundance of personnel in each battalion?"

What he actually wanted to say was whether it would cause each battalion to become too powerful and difficult to control in the future.

However, most of the people present were old brothers who had been with him all the way, so he just didn't say it explicitly.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, except for Lao Zhang, everyone here is our sworn brother who fought with us from Dachang."

Gu Changfeng knew what Zhao Ziqing meant, and in fact many people understood it.

But everyone just trusts Gu Changfeng, and no matter what the arrangements are, the battalion commanders don’t care.

Seeing that Zhao Ziqing had nothing to say, Gu Changfeng continued:

"The losses suffered by the various battalions in taking Laiyuan this time were substantial. Nearly 500 were killed in action, and there were over 300 seriously wounded."

"Fortunately, we have medical personnel supported by the Eighth Route Army. Coupled with the medical equipment and medicines seized this time, their chances of survival are higher."

Zhou Qianli said, "I won't go into other details. The medicines and equipment provided have indeed greatly solved the urgent needs of the rear."

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "We can't always rely on others. Send more people to learn more, and doctors need to be found as well."

Zhou Qianli nodded and said, "Our undercover personnel have already been sent out. Once they have established a foothold, there will definitely be news."

In addition to the group of undercover personnel trained by Gu Changfeng, he was also not idle afterwards. He was still selecting and training them. He planned to send people to more distant places later.

"Old Zhou is in charge of this, so I won't ask any more questions. Our mission is still expansion."

Gu Changfeng said to the battalion commanders below: "Last time we cleared out the bandits, more than 3000 people were forced to undergo transformation. The time is almost up. Next, you will each go and select your personnel."

"Is there any mission?" Huang Zhengkui asked.

Gu Changfeng said seriously: "This time, the Japanese in Laiyuan were completely wiped out, and even the city was lost. I don't believe the Japanese will not retaliate, but we don't know the time."

"So I plan to send you to dig tunnels in various villages to prevent the Japanese from sending planes to bomb them."

He has already talked about tunnels and underground passages, so there is no need for him to say more.

Huang Zhengkui thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. We do need to be on guard against the Japs, but what about us in Xianyaling?"

Hearing this, Gu Changfeng laughed, "Haha, if the Japs dare to come to Xianyaling, I will prevent them from returning."

More than 20,000 points are more than enough to buy some anti-aircraft guns. If the Japanese really dare to come, he will be so happy that he will die.

"A new weapon has arrived?" Zhao Ziqing reacted quickly. Usually when Gu Changfeng behaved like this, it meant that new weapons had arrived.

Gu Changfeng said: "20 anti-aircraft guns, our entire anti-aircraft artillery battalion. If the Japanese planes don't come, it's fine. But if they do, I will make sure they can't return."

It was inconvenient in Jinling before, but it is not inconvenient here. There are so many people, and we can easily get to Xianyaling.
