"Eh?"
Li Changgong was very excited, but he soon realized that there was something wrong with everyone's expressions. Their eyes and faces were full of hesitation and conflict.
This made his excited head suddenly cool down. He looked at Li Feng in confusion and asked carefully,"Platoon leader, did something happen? Or is there something wrong with my report?”
As soon as Li Changgong said this, Li Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said,"It has nothing to do with you. This is indeed very exciting news.”
At this point, Li Feng shook his head slightly and said helplessly,"But we don't have enough manpower. First, there are a lot of supplies in the ammunition warehouse.”
"In addition to the things you've seized, we now have to face a problem. How are we going to transport these things back when we don't have enough manpower?”
Li Changgong was stunned when he heard Li Feng's words. He was only focused on looting the good things and did not think about anything else.
Now that he heard Li Feng's words, he suddenly realized that they were only a platoon, not a regiment.
If the entire Independent Regiment was here, even if it was just the 1st Battalion, everyone would not be so conflicted.
"Wang Fugui!"
Looking at the worried crowd, Li Feng decided to take the initiative to attack.
"Platoon leader!"
Wang Fugui, who was thinking, heard Li Feng's shout and subconsciously responded.
"Take some warriors and ask around in the county town to buy more horses, mules, carts, and other items.”
"Since we don't have enough manpower, we'll start with these transportation tools.”
"At the same time, spread the word that we'll hire strong men to help us transport the supplies. As long as they help us transport the supplies to the designated location, we'll give each person 50 catties of food and 2 yuan as compensation for everyone's hard work.”
Li Feng had always believed in one thing: "As long as your thinking doesn't decline, there are always more methods than difficulties!”
Indeed, Li Feng lacked manpower now, but Yu County did not.
What he needed was to transport the weapons and equipment out of Yu County. Then, he would arrange for people to hide them and slowly transport them back.
"Eh? Sigh!"
As soon as Li Feng said this, the others immediately reacted.
Needless to say, this was indeed a good idea. Although it would cost some money and food, these would be distributed to the people, so it was not considered a loss.
Most importantly, it could empty the Japanese's warehouses in Yu County.
"Platoon leader, I'll do it now!"
Wang Fugui, the second class monitor, said without hesitation and was about to leave.
"Platoon leader, we're here!"
Just as Wang Fugui ordered two soldiers and went with Li Changgong to withdraw some money to complete Li Feng's instructions.
Suddenly, he heard a loud shout!
Everyone followed the direction of the voice and saw the soldiers of the supply squad return under the lead of the deputy squad leader Wen Le. Beside them were dozens of young and old men from Little Liu Village.
"Wen Le?"
Seeing Wen Le and the soldiers of the supply squad return, Li Feng couldn't help but be delighted. He was already short of manpower, and the arrival of the supply squad allowed him to have more manpower to move around.
"Uncle Liu, why did you guys follow us here?”
However, Li Feng didn't speak to Wen Le. Instead, he quickly walked up to the leader of the group, who was a ruddy old man with a head of hair that was half a hundred years old but had a very strong body.
This old man was the village of Little Liu Village. He was also the person with the highest seniority and the most prestige in Little Liu Village.
"Wen Le, you're too much. Don't you know that the Japanese are looking for us everywhere and want to take revenge on us?”Li Feng had just finished asking when he began to reprimand Wen Le.
Wen Le, who was reprimanded by Li Feng, stood respectfully at the side. He also realized that he had done something thoughtless.
"Platoon Leader Scholar, don't blame Wen Le.”
Seeing Li Feng reprimanding Wen Le, Uncle Liu, who was beside him, said loudly,"We came here voluntarily. We can't help you guys fight the Japanese in front.”
"I heard that you won the battle and did not have the manpower to transport the supplies. We young and old men are not as good as you in fighting the devils, but we can still do manual labor and transport the supplies.”
Hearing Uncle Liu's excuse for Wen Le, Li Feng could only glare at Wen Le fiercely. Then, he turned to look at Uncle Liu and said,""Uncle Liu, thank you so much!”
"We're all family. What's there to thank?”
Hearing Li Feng's gratitude, Uncle Liu waved his hand. Then, he did not waste any time and said directly,"Platoon Leader Scholar, we're all here. What should we do?”
Looking at the determined Uncle Liu, Li Feng knew that Uncle Liu was determined. Moreover, he was here. It was a little inappropriate to let him go just like that.
He began to instruct the citizens of Little Liu Village to transport the supplies from the ammunition warehouse and place them on the open space outside.
"Platoon leader, I'm coming!"
At this moment, another voice rang out. Everyone turned around and saw that it was Deputy Platoon Leader Yuan Kexiang and Squad Leader Four Wang Xiaohu. They had also brought the soldiers of Squad Four, Squad Three, Firepower Squad, and Artillery Squad.
Behind them, there was a black mass of captives wearing the uniforms of the Jin (2) Sui Army, the West (2) Bei Army, and the East (2) Bei Army.
"Platoon leader, after our tireless efforts, out of the 410 friendly soldiers in the prisoner of war camp, 8 officers left with 52 people, and the remaining 350 chose to join our 8th Route Army.”Yuan Kexiang came to Li Feng's side and said to him.
"Good! Old Yuan, you've worked hard!"
Hearing Yuan Kexiang's words, Li Feng's face was filled with surprise.
Initially, he was still troubled by his lack of manpower, but he did not expect that 20 people from the logistics team and more than 30 villagers from Little Liu Village would arrive.
Now that another 350 people had returned to the team, Li Feng now had almost 500 people.
"Second Squad Leader, go buy mules, horses, and carts immediately. As for the manpower, there's no need to recruit them.”
Li Feng immediately turned to Wang Fugui, the second class monitor, and ordered.
"Yes, platoon leader!"
When Wang Fugui heard this, he quickly left with Li Changgong.
Li Feng ignored Wang Fugui and the others. He turned to Yuan Kexiang and said,""Old Yuan, you stay here and instruct everyone to move the supplies and load the trucks.”
"Platoon leader, leave it to me!"
Yuan Kexiang did not hesitate. He immediately nodded and agreed.
"The supply squad, follow me!"
After Li Feng finished his instructions, he shouted to the supply squad and brought the monk and the supply squad to Li Changgong's squad.
"Only children do multiple-choice questions.”
