"Then let's see how much you can voluntarily confess. If you confess everything, we might consider showing mercy."

Commander Zhang and the regiment commander definitely didn't know how much good equipment Zhao Zhiguo had secretly hidden. From this battle, it was clear that the Japanese army did not push Zhao Zhiguo and the others to the limit.

"Didn't we get a few Type 92 infantry guns from the Japs? So we went to borrow some shells from the Japs. You couldn't use these shells, so I kept them myself." Zhao Zhiguo said.

Commander Zhang and his entire division do not have as many artillery pieces as Zhao Zhiguo and his company combined, and they are all 50mm-caliber mortars, with no larger-caliber artillery pieces at all.

"That's all? You've entered the little devil's arsenal, just like a mouse fell into a rice vat, and you only borrowed a few cannonballs?"

The teacher didn't believe that Zhao Zhiguo only brought back so little.

"There are still a few machine guns and some ammunition. Our manpower is too small. I can't even bring more things with me. I can only blow up the rest."

Zhao Zhiguo and the others only went there with about fifty people, mainly for the cannonballs of the Japs.

"Just a few?"

"It's really just a few machine guns. I wish the soldiers had one more hand."

"Okay, I believe you for now. Where are the captures in this battle?" the division commander asked again.

"Commander, we fought very hard in this battle. We lost a lot of veterans, and several light and heavy machine guns were blown up by the little Japs. After all this time, there are not many rich people at all."

"You guys, stop pretending to be poor. There is no company in the entire division that is richer than you. Bring us forty machine guns from your company and Gao Cang's company, and I will take them away!" the division commander said.

"Forty machine guns? Commander, you are so open-minded. Even if you are trying to kill a big business, you won't kill the goose to get the eggs, right? You can be the company commander! No!"

"Then tell me how many machine guns you can bring out?" the division commander asked.

"Up to five light machine guns, plus ten grenade launchers!"

"Twenty light machine guns and ten grenade launchers, not one less!"

"There are at most ten light machine guns. Even if you kill me for the rest, I won't be able to get them out," Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Fifteen pieces can't be less. I'm not here to bargain with you."

"Okay, it's really overwhelming to have a high official position. After all, our brothers worked hard to get this back." Zhao Zhiguo pretended to be pity.

"Look at your little family, can your company use so many machine guns? Each soldier in a company holds a machine gun? Do you have so much ammunition?"

"Commander, the soldiers feel confident and safe when they look at the machine guns. You want too much."

"You promised to give me fifteen light machine guns, and I dare say that the number of light machine guns left in your company will definitely be no less than twenty. How many people do you have in your company?"

Zhao Zhiguo and his company, plus the recruits still in training, totaled less than 160 people at full strength. Adding in the number of heavy machine guns, there were on average at least two machine guns per squad.

"Hehehehe, Commander, please don't just see the thieves eating meat, but not the thieves being beaten. Our soldiers are lying on the battlefield in the cold weather fighting with the little devils."

Zhao Zhiguo and the others were able to have such good equipment because they had earned it themselves.

"We are all a family, how can you bear to look at other troops without even a gun?"

"Commander, please don't complain about your poverty here. We have been fighting fiercely with the Japs in the past few days. You have found excuses to ask the Jinsui Army for supplies, right?" Zhao Zhiguo said.

"If you see through it but don't tell it, we are still good brothers!"

They guarded the Hutong area for the Jinsui Army, which could be regarded as guarding the east gate for the Jinsui Army. At this time, the Japanese army attacked, which was naturally a good opportunity to ask for supplies from the Jinsui Army.

"However, you also know that although we finally managed to gather another regiment of troops, the weapons provided by the Jinsui Army are beyond words!"

The Jinsui Army definitely cannot give all the best equipment to their Northwest Army. The weapons and equipment their division received were all eliminated by the Jinsui Army. To be honest, if they didn't have weapons in their hands, these equipment would be given to the dogs, and the dogs wouldn't use them.

"Commander, rifles are easy to talk about. We don't lack anything but rifles!"

Zhao Zhiguo was also generous, and they did capture a lot of rifles in this battle.

"I know you are very fat, how much can you do for me?" The teacher looked at Zhao Zhiguo expectantly.

Zhao Zhiguo stretched out a finger.

"A company?"

"A battalion's rifles don't have much ammunition, so each gun can only have twenty rounds of ammunition," Zhao Zhiguo said.

"That's enough, that's enough. Now give me a stick and I can use it as a weapon for the soldiers. A gun is better than no gun."

"Commander, these guns are not given for free." Zhao Zhiguo said.

"Tell me what you want, as long as I can afford it."

The division commander was also happy today. Zhao Zhiguo directly solved the equipment problem of a battalion for him, and all of them were Japanese-style equipment, which was much better than the weapons given to them by the Jinsui Army.

"Give me another twenty veterans. They may not necessarily have fought against the Japs, but they must have more than three years of military service."

Zhao Zhiguo was too eager for veterans, and the new recruits they brought in could do too little on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that Zhao Zhiguo wants to expand the three platoons under his command. Each platoon must have a machine gun squad and a grenade squad, which require veterans to support the framework.

"Your request is a bit high! But I can give you ten veterans first, ten from my guard company. These people were the ones who followed you all the way back, and you are familiar with them. The remaining ten

, I’ll replenish it for you later, do you think that’s okay?”

"Thank you, sir!"

Veterans are the golden nuggets in all armies. Once a war breaks out, veterans can survive much longer than recruits.

"Don't you care about lunch here?"

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

"Commander, I don't care about food here. Look at our new recruits. Each one is thinner than the last. You bring so many people to eat, so our brothers have less to eat. Besides, you, the majestic commander, are not lacking either."

Isn’t this a meal?”

"You are really stingy. You want to save food for dozens of people?"

Zhao Zhiguo didn't want to be stingy either. In an era when supplies were extremely scarce, a full meal was enough for a tough man to sell his life to someone.

"Zhao Zhiguo, what's hidden in that bulging package of yours?"

Captain Hu saw Zhao Zhiguo carrying a package when he came in.

"Hehehehe, captain, we are a real family, so don't follow the teacher and trick me."

"Could it be gold bars?" The teacher also stared at the package.

"Commander, you really know how to guess, if such a big package contains gold bars, would I be able to carry it? It's just a few cans of beef. Don't we have more than 20 wounded people here? We want to supplement nutrition for them."
