"Quick, carry a few more boxes and check them!" Ning Zhiheng's heart immediately became excited. If all these large wooden boxes in front of him were filled with medicine, their value would be immeasurable. He never expected that this British company would have such strength, with cars and medicine. This Seaman warehouse is simply a treasure trove.
The others worked together to carry down several more wooden crates. After opening them and inspecting them, they found that they contained the best Western medicines, which brought smiles to everyone's faces.
"I wonder if there's any sulfonamide?" Zuo Qiang asked, rummaging through the box before shaking his head in disappointment.
"Don't worry about it. Take all the medicine back with you. When our convoy arrives tomorrow, we'll load it all onto the trucks. This time, our wounded will be saved!" Ning Zhiheng said with a smile as he looked at the medicine in front of him.
This morning, they were fighting fiercely at Depp Hospital over a vial of sulfonamide, almost to the death. By evening, they had received almost half a warehouse full of the medicine. It's as if God is protecting these wounded soldiers.
Ning Zhiheng and the others returned to their lounge and sorted out the cargo list. Apart from the bulky and heavy goods, there were quite a few items that could be transported by sampans and small boats.
There was paper, matches, leather, and of course, the most important thing was medicine. It seems that this Seaman Company has quite a wide range of businesses; the paper alone filled two warehouses.
Ning Zhiheng put the list in his hand on the table and said with a smile, "Today has been a great day. There are a lot of good things in this warehouse, but we need to transport the medicine back first, and we can transport the other goods later."
Everyone laughed, and Ning Zhiheng then asked Lao Hu, "Where is the warehouse of Leike Company?"
Old Hu replied with a smile, "It's the third one next door, and it's one of the biggest warehouses in the area. There must be a lot of good stuff inside, and medicine is definitely plentiful."
Ning Zhiheng clapped his hands excitedly and said, "Then let's take over these three warehouses next door and take inventory of them first."
At this point, a look of regret appeared in his eyes, and he shook his head, saying, "It's a pity we can't be too conspicuous. We can only move these for now. If we make too much of a fuss, it will be easy for people to notice. We'll find another opportunity to move other warehouses later."
After everyone had discussed and agreed on the plan, they all rested. The next morning, the convoy led by Huo Yueze arrived at the military camp and was led back by Zuo Qiang.
When Huo Yueze and the other officers heard Zuo Qiang recount the battle of the previous night, they were all stunned. In just one night, the reconnaissance squadron, under the leadership of the battalion commander, had wiped out a hundred-man plainclothes team at a minimal cost.
Huo Yueze stamped his foot and said regretfully, "What a pity. Such a good opportunity, we can't miss it again in the future."
The other officers had all experienced the battle on the north bank of the Suzhou Creek, and they still had reservations about the fighting capabilities of the Japanese army, harboring some doubts in their hearts.
However, after they met Ning Zhiheng and the two units reunited, they asked the team members and confirmed the details of the battle the previous night. They couldn't help but feel awe for Ning Zhiheng, their captain, and all their previous doubts were immediately put aside. They no longer dared to disobey Ning Zhiheng's orders in the slightest.
That morning, Ning Zhiheng sent people to requisition the other three warehouses to house three companies and two hundred student soldiers. Then, he immediately opened the warehouses and inventoried the goods. The abundance of the harvest left even Ning Zhiheng, a man accustomed to grand occasions, speechless.
Among them, the largest warehouse of the Leike Company alone had two warehouses for medicines, and even a whole box of Swiss watches, totaling three hundred pieces, was found. They also found enough gasoline in one warehouse to replenish the consumption of their own fleet.
As for other goods that can be broken down and transported across the Huangpu River, there are countless examples; just transporting them would probably be a difficult task.
Ning Zhiheng immediately ordered a telegram to be sent to Ji Hongyi, who was left behind in Nanshi.
"Pick up the goods at 8 PM tonight."
Ji Hongyi took the telegram from the telegraph operator, took a closer look, and couldn't help but beam with joy. He hadn't expected Ning Zhiheng to have obtained the medicine so quickly, and he immediately ordered, "Reply to confirm immediately!"
After saying that, he immediately turned around and went out to find You Laoliu to arrange vehicles and boats.
