Tang Li stood at the entrance of the cave, the dim light barely illuminating his face. The cave was filled with a damp and musty smell, but Tang Li's heart was excited by the scene before him. There were twenty brand new mortars, neatly arranged in the depths of the cave, as if waiting for the upcoming battle.

"Oh my God, this is such a pleasant surprise!" Tang Li said to himself, his eyes reluctant to leave these weapons for a long time.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps came from the cave entrance. Tang Li looked back and saw that it was Li Yunlong and Monk Wei. They had obviously received Tang Li's notice and hurried over.

"Tang Li, you said there was an important discovery. What is it?" Li Yunlong asked as he walked into the cave.

"Captain Li, take a look for yourselves!" Tang Li answered excitedly, motioning for the two to go inside.

Monk Wei's eyes widened. When he saw the mortar in the cave, he couldn't help but let out a low cry: "My God, this is really a big deal!"

Li Yunlong was also stunned, then laughed out loud: "This is the good stuff that our Eighth Route Army has been dreaming of! Tang Li, you have made a great contribution!"

Tang Li scratched his head in embarrassment. "I discovered this by chance. I just wanted to find a place to avoid enemy patrols, but I didn't expect to get such a big harvest."

Li Yunlong patted Tang Li on the shoulder and said, "You are really lucky! But this also shows your intelligence. Okay, we have to move these treasures back quickly and make sure they are not discovered by the devils."

Monk Wei nodded in agreement: "Yes, this place may be discovered by the enemy at any time, we must act quickly."

Tang Li immediately proposed his own idea: "I have already scouted the nearby terrain. This cave has good concealment. We can temporarily hide the cannon here and transport it away at night."

Li Yunlong thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, let's do as you say. We'll send some people to guard here first and then take action after dark. Monk, take a few people to guard the surrounding area and don't let the devils get close."

"Understood!" Monk Wei immediately turned around and left the cave to arrange security matters.

Tang Li and Li Yunlong were the only ones left in the cave. They were speechless for a moment, silently staring at the mortars. After a moment, Li Yunlong said, "Tang Li, you really did a great job this time. These mortars have greatly improved our combat effectiveness."

Tang Li smiled modestly: "We are all working for the revolutionary cause. I am also very happy to be able to contribute to our battle."

Li Yunlong nodded with satisfaction: "I feel much more relieved to have a good soldier like you. By the way, I have to report to Zhao Gang in person. He also needs to know about such a big thing."

Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "Captain, I think it's better to keep it secret. After all, the situation is complicated now, and the fewer people who know about it, the better."

Li Yunlong pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "You are right. Then let's not notify him yet. Let's transport these cannons back ourselves first."

In this way, Tang Li and Li Yunlong began to get busy, arranging people to guard the cave, and at the same time planning how to safely transport the mortar back to the base. As night fell, there was silence outside the cave, with only a few soldiers quietly guarding around, vigilantly watching the movements around them.

Li Yunlong and Tang Li led a team of people and quietly entered the cave and began to carry out the mortars one by one. Everyone was very careful, for fear of making any noise that would attract the enemy's attention.

"Captain Li, there's movement ahead!" an alert soldier suddenly reported in a low voice.

Li Yunlong frowned and immediately ordered: "Everyone stop and keep quiet."

Tang Li also became nervous, holding the rifle tightly in his hand, and staring at the direction of the cave entrance. A few minutes later, Tang Li saw several dark figures quietly approaching the cave. They moved cautiously, obviously not wanting to be discovered.

"Are they the Japanese or the puppet army?" Tang Li asked in a low voice.

Li Yunlong shook his head: "It's not clear yet. Don't act rashly. Let's see what they do first."

At this moment, the shadows suddenly quickened their pace and headed straight for the cave. Tang Li's heart tightened, and he was about to shoot, but Li Yunlong held his hand.

"Wait, let's see what they want to do first." Li Yunlong said in a low voice.

The shadows walked to the cave entrance and seemed to be talking in low voices. Then one of them took out a map and pointed. Li Yunlong squinted his eyes, trying to see the contents of the map clearly. Suddenly his eyes lit up: "That's the map of our base!"

Tang Li also saw it and understood immediately: "Captain Li, they must be the devil's spies. They came here to investigate our base."

Li Yunlong nodded: "Yes, we can't let them go back to report. Everyone, get ready, I will give the order later, and then we will start!"

A few minutes later, the shadows seemed to have confirmed something and began to walk back. Li Yunlong saw this and decisively ordered: "Go!"

Suddenly, gunshots rang out, and before the spies could react, they were knocked to the ground by the Eighth Route Army soldiers. Li Yunlong stepped forward to check and was relieved to confirm that all the enemies had been eliminated.

"Tang Li, you take a few people to continue moving the mortars, and the others stay on guard to prevent any fish from slipping through the net." Li Yunlong gave the order.

Tang Li immediately took action and led several soldiers to continue moving the mortars. After several hours of hard work, all the mortars were finally safely moved to a hidden location. Tang Li looked at these hard-earned spoils and felt a sense of accomplishment.

"Captain Li, we succeeded!" Tang Li said excitedly.

Li Yunlong nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Tang Li, this time it's really thanks to you. When I get back, I will definitely recommend you for the credit!"

Tang Li smiled and said, "It is my duty to contribute to the revolutionary cause. Next, we have to make good use of these mortars and strike hard at the enemy!"

"That's right!" Li Yunlong said proudly, "These mortars are in our hands, and they will definitely make the Japanese suffer!"

The next day, Li Yunlong brought Tang Li and Wei Heshang back to the base and reported the great harvest to his superiors. Zhao Gang smiled with satisfaction after hearing this: "You have made great contributions this time. These mortars have greatly improved our combat effectiveness."

Li Yunlong said modestly: "This is the result of everyone's joint efforts. Next, we have to plan carefully how to use these mortars to give the enemy a heavy blow."

Zhao Gang nodded: "Yes, we can't waste these precious weapons. Tang Li, do you have any good suggestions?"

Tang Li thought for a moment and said, "I think we can first conduct a small-scale exploratory attack to see the power of these mortars, and then adjust the tactics according to the situation."
