You forget that we had military planes over the entire area [roughly the size of California?] continually. It would be almost impossible for at least 40 truckloads to be loaded and carted off. Simply to load 380 tons of munitions would take at minimum hours, more likely days to complete. With the air cover and all those pilots looking for targets I find it unlikely to believe that it could have been accomplished.
