Even the mule and horse squads in the Japanese transport brigade are equipped with light and heavy machine guns, and some are even perverted with mortars.

If you think about it, you can understand that when the main force fights a war, either side attaches great importance to logistical support, and if the logistics cannot be guaranteed in place, if there is no two fights, the supply of ammunition and food cannot be met, then can this battle still be fought?

Therefore, logistics is very important, and the supply lines are also very important, and the grain and ammunition that have been prepared with great difficulty are easily intercepted by others, and it is not in vain.

Therefore, speaking of which, it is not easy to do anything, one link after another, and none of them are simple and easy to deal with.

However, there are difficulties in everything, and we can't stop doing it as soon as we see difficulties, so can the War of Resistance continue to be fought, at this stage, there is nothing more difficult than resisting tension.

There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart; The intelligence reported by the reconnaissance personnel sent out by Niu Gu showed that on the road from Chuzhou to Chihe Town on the Mingguang River, there were already devils' transport teams that began to be careless.

Maybe it's because the transportation task is heavy, or maybe no one has come to attack, so this devil's transportation team began to travel lightly.

The heavy machine guns that had to be carried in the past have been changed to light machine guns, and in the past, it was necessary to have more than 50 people to protect the personnel, but now there are only two squads and about 30 people.

However, the supplies of the transport team did not decrease at all, and there were still more than 30 large mules to pull more than 10 large carts with rubber tires, as well as more than 20 mules and camels.

In addition to more than 30 people, there were also more than 60 transport personnel, who were in charge of mules and chariots, although they were also wearing Japanese uniforms, but they had few weapons on their bodies, and only carried a light horse pistol to defend themselves.

Here's your chance.

But when I asked the scouts about the transportation time of the devil transport team, the excitement that had just risen in the cow steam wilted again.

The people's transportation team only transported materials to various surrounding positions at the small transfer station in Chihe Town, not from Chuzhou to Chihe.

There is a road of more than 50 kilometers and hundreds of miles from Chuzhou to Chihe, and it takes more than 10 hours to transport it by mules and horses alone, and it cannot support the combat demand for ammunition on the front line.

Since the air supremacy is in the hands of the Japanese army, they can use road transportation in a swaggering manner during the day, more than 50 kilometers of road, and the devils use large trucks, which can be transported in only two hours, and can be transported two or three times a day, which is much easier to use than mules and horses.

When the supplies were transported to Chihe, due to road problems, such as narrow or short roads, sometimes they had to go up the mountains and into the water, so they could not use bulky trucks, so they had to use mule and horse teams to transport them.

Therefore, the devils used mule and horse squads to transport ammunition and materials from Chihe to Lotus Pond, dawn, and even Guandian. These places are only about a three-hour walk from the Chihe River.

Moreover, in the middle of the three-hour journey or so, there were almost all Japanese positions, so the mule and horse teams of the people hardly needed the protection personnel of the transport team.

Of course, things are not so unavailable, there is another opportunity to take advantage of, that is, the devil's mule and horse team does not dare to come to transport in broad daylight.

Why? Because along the opposite bank of the Mingguang River, that is, on the west bank, there is the 31st Army of China, which is an army, so naturally there will be artillery.

At this time, although there were artillery cannons in the military-level units of the Chinese army, because they did not have air supremacy, and because the range and caliber of the artillery were inferior to those of the Japanese army, some of the artillery did not dare to be pulled out for use.

These expensive cannons, at most, should be withdrawn after two shots, otherwise once the devils can measure their location, planes will immediately fly to drop bombs, or the devils' cannons will hit them.

Anyway, there are so many shells of the devil that it seems that they don't need money to buy, and China itself will not make large-caliber shells, and it is distressing to hit one less than one, and it is distressing to hit too much, once the shells are gone, the cannon will become a bulky iron vase, and it is ugly to use it for flower arrangement.

Therefore, the 31st Army was the same, it easily did not dare to use large-caliber artillery, and at most it used small mountain artillery and infantry artillery.

This kind of small cannon is flexible, weighing hundreds of pounds, and a few people can push it away, and after a few shots, it will be pushed into the cave, and the devil's cannon will track it over, and there is no way to knock out these small cannons.

It's just that the range of these small cannons is not far, it is said that they can shoot several kilometers, but that is the maximum range.

It is estimated that a cannon will hit a few hundred meters away from the target, so it is better not to hit and waste shells.

These shells are bought with money, and they are not like the shells of devils, as if the wind is blowing, and they like to shoot all day long, and they can't count how many shells have been fired.

However, although these small cannons can't hit far, but across the Mingguang River, which is not wide, hit the other side of the river, it is naturally no problem, on weekdays, those devils are hiding in the trenches on the other side of the river, and they can't hit.

But if someone or a transport team like mules and horses dares to walk on the riverside in broad daylight, the small artillery of the 31st Army is not welcome, and the meat delivered to the door will not be eaten.

This kind of mule and horse team, the most afraid is the cannon, once a few shells pass, these mules and horses will be frightened and run around, beasts are beasts, not like people, can listen to commands.

In a quiet time, these mules and horses will probably listen to their masters, but when the cannonballs roar around, not to mention mules and horses, even war horses, or soldiers, will scatter and flee.

It's just that the soldier knows how to lie down to avoid the shells, and the beast knows that lying down will save his life, only that the farther he runs, the better.

Once the mule and horse do not obey the call, even a dozen people will not be able to pull one head, so if they disperse, it will be troublesome to find it when the time comes, who knows where the beast has gone, maybe run back more than ten miles away, or run back to the station.

Once the transporters do not have mules and horses, they have to carry them by themselves, and there is basically no problem with how many things they can carry on their shoulders and hands, at most 100 catties, while a mule and horse, a camel of several hundred catties, and a thousand catties of things, basically has no problem.

Besides, when the shells exploded everywhere, these transporters couldn't take care of themselves, and they could still take care of those mules, horses, and ammunition materials, in case the shell box was blown up and caused a martyrdom, everyone had to finish playing.

Therefore, no matter how bullish the devil is, in broad daylight, he has to guard against the small artillery in the hostile position a few hundred meters away, not to mention the small artillery, some heavy machine guns may be hit.

Even the regular troops of the devils are afraid, let alone the transporters of non-combatants, so they can only come to transport them at night.

This is the opportunity that Niu Gu wants.

Niu Gu's wishful thinking is to secretly build a devil's mule and horse transportation team at night, and leave as much as he can.

Even if you don't catch it, at least you can kill a few devils, it's not a loss-making business for nothing, if you catch any treasures, you will make a lot of money.
