Best Answer
It was Pancho's Villa's men as indicated by the script.
THIRTY OR FORTY BIG HATTED REVOLUTIONARIES probe for the weakness of Mapache's position at the railroad station. Note: Mapache's soldiers show signs of having recently suf- fered a beating and it..is obvious that they are retreating...
Pancho Villa's revolutionary army was supplied with arms already...the guns supplied by the Wild Bunch were in addition to their existing armaments.
As commander of the División del Norte (Division of the North) in the Constitutionalist Army, he was a military-landowner (caudillo) of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua. Given the area's size and mineral wealth, it provided him with extensive resources.
Villa was the commander of an entire army division but revolting against his own government...they would have been well supplied already.
