Chapter 53 Code Name Bell (14)
Poisoned bullets exploded in the pillbox!
Wangyou curled her index finger and silently began to count, from ten to one. Then, the watchtower opposite her instantly fell silent.
"This, this is the end!" Old Meng didn't really want to believe it, but the facts were right in front of him.
"No, I have to send someone to check it out!"
……
"This is the easiest battle I've ever fought!"
"Are those bastards dead yet?!"
"Commander, they're all dead, and their bodies are almost completely decomposed!"
"Perfect, saves me the trouble of dealing with the corpse!"
"I need to get to know which hero helped us!"
"Then you're wrong. The one who helped you was a young girl, and a very pretty one at that!"
"Dingdang, this is Commander Geng!"
"Commander Geng, these are the people who came to your aid!"
"Old Meng, you're not kidding me, are you? This girl is only a few years old!"
Why would I lie to you? If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it either!
"Stop arguing about this. Isn't moving supplies more important right now?"
"Yes, moving things is definitely more important!" Commander Geng didn't hesitate and took two steps forward. "Big Head, take the brothers and help us move them!"
"Hey boss, hehe, the brothers have already started moving!"
"You're fast, damn it! Move everything out, inside and out, and this winter will be much easier for us!"
"Um..." Old Meng wanted to say something to Wangyou, but seeing the clarity and curiosity in the girl's eyes, he swallowed all his thoughts.
"Old Meng, may I go inside and take a look?"
"Yes, you're a great hero!" Commander Geng agreed before Old Meng could even speak, and personally led Wangyou into the city.
"This is the arsenal of those scoundrels!"
"Commander, we've discovered ten cannons and eight heavy machine guns!"
"Move them all back to where they belong!" Commander Geng was even happier.
"Commander, we found some big things there, but nobody knows what they are?"
"Can you take me to see it?" Wangyou asked with interest.
"Hurry up and lead the way for that young lady!" Commander Geng said with a laugh and a scolding tone.
We followed the soldiers to a warehouse, and wow, there were quite a few machines there.
Wangyou looked at each of the machines one by one, and her eyes lit up instantly. "Commander Geng, let's have someone move these back too!"
"What use are these lumps of iron?"
"These are machine tools. With them, making guns and cannons won't be a problem!"
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and move it!" Commander Geng was excited and ordered his soldiers to start moving things. Even those who didn't recognize the items were asked to have Wangyou take a look, so as not to leave the enemy with a single needle or thread.
"I'm talking to you! Don't move those useless pots and pans; we can't leave these treasures behind!"
Yu Guangzhong, Wangyou saw a broken bronze artifact thrown in a corner.
Wangyou walked over and, after confirming that there was no strange smell, just an earthy smell, picked it up and examined it. It looked like a wine vessel.
"Comrade Lingdang, this thing is useless. It's a hassle to even carry it to hold water!" Commander Geng said after glancing at it.
Do you know what this is?
"It's just a piece of junk!"
Wangyou shook her head. "These are bronze artifacts, and from the Shang and Zhou dynasties. In a prosperous era, these things would be priceless treasures!"
"This is priceless?" Commander Geng was skeptical.
"But unfortunately, these are chaotic times, and these things are worthless!" Wangyou said regretfully. "Comrade Lao Meng, could you help collect them?"
“Okay, no problem, I’ll have my comrades collect them right away!” Old Meng was educated, and he understood the meaning behind Wang You’s words. These things would be national treasures once they were victorious.
"Then I'll have someone help you look. There's a lot of scrap metal around here!" Commander Geng didn't recognize it, but he could still understand Old Meng's expression, so he muttered something.
"We accidentally dug up a tomb before, but the tomb was very dangerous. These things must have come from there!" Commander Geng said after thinking for a moment.
“Then we’ll have to trouble Commander Geng to fill in the excavated tomb chamber first. We can excavate it again when the time is right. Otherwise, it will just benefit outsiders!” Wangyou said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll get someone to do it when I get back!"
The group returned home in high spirits, even more excited than during the Chinese New Year.
The amount of weaponry found in the pillbox was considerable, almost equivalent to the equipment of a regular army corps headquarters. However, when Wangyou thought about those machine tools, he understood why.
"Those people from the Osaka country probably planned to build an arms factory here, but it was wiped out before they even started. You'd better be careful from now on. They won't let this go after we took these machine tools!"
"Old... I was wondering why there were so many cannons and heavy machine guns. Turns out they're planning to build an arsenal. This needs to be reported!" Commander Geng said, unusually politely.
Later, Wangyou stayed in the Independent Regiment for five days, leaving them two barrels of sulfanilamide for them to repackage themselves. He also took a few clever soldiers with him to improve their weapons. As for the machine tools, they were all taken away by headquarters.
"If my machine tools hadn't been taken away, I would have really wanted you to stay in my Independent Regiment!"
"Commander Geng, until we meet again!"
Until we meet again!
The group that came to pick up Wangyou and Lao Meng breathed a sigh of relief. They were really afraid that Commander Geng, that unruly guy, wouldn't release them. Fortunately, they escaped unharmed.
However, the girl was generous and actually left two barrels of sulfanilamide. Sulfanilamide is always measured in vials, so when did it start being measured in barrels?
However, this young girl was indeed extraordinary; they couldn't figure out how those two barrels of sulfonamide were transported there along the way.
This time, the group didn't stop along the way and arrived at the Shaanxi headquarters in three days. Wangyou was almost in tears.
God knows how exhausted she was after eating those hard biscuits that could break your teeth for three days. The problem was that she couldn't eat them all by herself; she could only occasionally have a bite of dried meat to change things up.
"Comrade Lingdang, this is our base camp!" Old Meng felt much more relaxed once he got home.
"Comrade Meng, I want to eat something hot right now, take a shower, and change my clothes. I feel like I'm going to spoil!" Wangyou really had no time to appreciate the scenery.
"Come with me first, we'll settle you in here. Your cave dwelling has been prepared long ago!" Zhao Quan said with a smile. This is still just a child!
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, Wangyou felt much better. She ate a bowl of dumpling soup and finally felt alive again.
"Comrade Meng, have you finished tidying up the place where you store the medicine and experimental equipment? If you have, take me there to have a look. The stuff should arrive tonight. Remember not to send anyone over!"
"Okay!" Old Meng had already received instructions from above that as long as the requests weren't excessive, they could all be met.
Wangyou followed Lao Meng to see the place. Although it wasn't big, it was quite secluded, and Wangyou was fairly satisfied.
"Okay, remember to clear everyone out of here, and don't leave anyone in the shadows, otherwise it might cause some trouble. Have the doctor you prepared wait for me there tomorrow!"
"Okay, no problem!"
"Then I'm going back to rest, I'm so sleepy!" Wangyou yawned without any regard for her image.
The next morning, the base was in an uproar.
