Chapter Fifty-two Logistics Transport

  The little buddies easily took down the warehouse, but it was really boring to take this warehouse. The defenders here didn't have any awareness of the battlefield at all. They were all sleeping soundly and were solved by their companions in their dreams. This time, Yang Wei decided not to capture them. They had taken a fancy to the supplies in the warehouse, so they wouldn't want to capture them. Otherwise, if one of them ran away, it would be a waste of effort.

  "Hey, uncles, hurry up! You can't even keep up with me, a girl. What's the point of fighting? Why don't you just go home and hug your kids instead?" Xia Xue said sarcastically on the side, also to retaliate against the idea of the captain who wanted to send her back.

  "Hmm." The battalion commander on the side really had nothing to say, although Xia Xue's words were a bit harsh, but they were indeed walking very slowly. Xia Xue was fully armed, with two guns and ammunition, while Xia Xue and Xiao Shan walked on the mountain beside the path, these soldiers were walking on the small path. The difference was obvious.

  The soldiers were also holding their breath, wanting to hurry up and not let the little girl look down on them. But the more anxious they were, the slower they walked, and even stumbled. Fortunately, there were many trees along the road, otherwise they would have fallen off the cliff several times. They were all lightly equipped, some with empty hands, while others held only a stick for probing the way.

  "Here, here, uncles, look, there are Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai." In order to let Xia Xue know that this place had been taken down, Yang Wei put Xiao Hui and Xiao Bai in a conspicuous place and shone the searchlight directly on them, so that Xia Xue could see it at a glance.

  "What a huge warehouse!" Captain Cao exclaimed, these kids are really lucky stars, the volunteer army is currently lacking in supplies, and they just brought such a warehouse, what else can be considered lucky?

  "Commander, Commander, look at this cotton-padded jacket, it's a cotton-padded jacket!" A soldier exclaimed excitedly when the warehouse door was opened. It was really worth shouting about, as they were still wearing some southern-style winter cotton-padded jackets that couldn't withstand the cold in this icy and snowy place. Yang Wei had read some records later on, saying that many soldiers froze to death in the first battle because their clothes were not suitable. Some soldiers didn't even have shoes, Yang Wei couldn't help but despise the person in charge of logistics at that time, including the commander-in-chief. Although they won this war, it was based on sacrificing human lives.

  "This is ammunition, firearms." As several warehouse doors were opened, they found that except for the oil that couldn't be transported, all other materials could be moved, and even the regimental commander didn't know what to transport first.

  "Hurry, you guys move the clothes, shoes and socks first. When you come back, we'll apply for more people to transport goods. This warehouse is too big, there are not enough of you here." Soon, Yang Wei made a decision, now was not the time to hesitate, Yang Wei's intuition was that they were lacking warm clothing and other supplies, not guns and ammunition.

  "Alright, let's move the quilt first, and talk about other things later." Soon, the captain also made a decision. At this time, he was also wearing some thin clothes, and after stopping, he would naturally feel chilly.

  "This company commander, you'd better dispatch some men to stand guard on both sides of this mountain road. Use the guns and ammunition here. Also, have the people who go on guard duty put on a set of padded clothes first, and change their shoes too. Don't let them freeze to death before they can complete their guard duty."

  "Go, go, hurry up and put on your cotton-padded jacket. Also, bring enough ammunition for the guns. You know these are all automatic weapons, so be sure to bring enough ammo."

  When Yang Wei finished speaking, some soldiers who wanted to go on guard looked at the battalion commander. Obviously, they really listened and felt cold.

  When the squad leader agreed, they all looked at Yang Wei with grateful eyes. "Alright, uncles, you can put on your cotton-padded jackets now, but you transporters don't need to change, it's too hot on the road, especially the shoes, just wait until you have some free time to wear them, and even when you're marching, it's best to wear your original shoes, otherwise you'll suffer."

  "Did you hear that, go quickly." While Yang Wei and the others also supplemented some ammunition at this time, they set off together. Their goal was to mark the route for these transporting soldiers and guard against some dangerous sections.

  "Leave three or four people here to take care of the soldiers and send them up, then you can just guard here. After they leave, those who are guarding here should also change into a new set of clothes, don't freeze."

  Why is this path so secretive? It's because the two ends of the mountain road require people to climb up, even with mules and horses, it's best not to let them come down from here, just let them go back and forth on the mountain road. Once you reach the top of the mountain, except for a few treacherous sections, all other places are accessible. Yang Wei estimated that if the whole team worked together, they might be able to transport everything in one night, but this was assuming they didn't transport any heavy weapons or equipment, especially fuel, which would be difficult to transport.

  When the first batch of soldiers transported cotton-padded clothes back, the whole regiment was excited. Even the regimental commander personally came to act as a transportation soldier. For a time, this small path was trampled flat.

  "Come, put down the things on your shoulders and guard them well here. If someone is in danger, help out a bit. Also, remind people to be careful every time they come." The sky had slowly started to brighten up, but at this time, the transportation team was still continuing, and Yang Wei and his men couldn't continue to stand guard here anymore.

  They began to withdraw their troops, one by one, all replaced by volunteer soldiers, and then they came back to the warehouse again.

  "Xiao Xue, there are still so many things here that haven't been transported yet, I'm not willing to give up." The team leader saw Xia Xue and didn't say anything about sending her back either.

  "Captain uncle, it's no use being reluctant, you'd better retreat. If you get trapped in here, that would be a big deal, and there won't be anyone coming to rescue you. We'll take care of this place."

  Under Yang Wei's persuasion, the captain finally reluctantly led the last team carrying some ammunition away.
