"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, people are coming soon."
In order to welcome Wu Ze, Logistics Minister Zhang Wanhe specially held a welcome ceremony, including all the gongs and drums, and a yangko troupe.
"Minister Zhang, people are coming, people are coming." Someone came quickly to report.
"Start, start right away." Zhang Wanhe quickly let the ceremony begin.
"Wu Ze, look, that's Zhang Wanhe, the Minister of Logistics. He and Li Yunlong are from the Dabie Mountains." Kong Jie introduced Zhang Wanhe to Wu Ze and added in a low voice: "This old guy is a tough guy. I want to fight with him." Asking for something is simply harder than fighting with a kid on a bayonet. Li Yunlong also always scolded him, saying that he was a fugitive in his early years and used every weight he picked up as gold ingots. I'm worried that you won't be able to get a cannon from him. "
Although Kong Jie never doubted Wu Ze's ability, Zhang Wan and this iron rooster were really not that easy to deal with.
What's more, this is a cannon from him. This is the most precious artillery of the Eighth Route Army.
"Captain Kong, it's okay, it's okay. As long as I'm here, the cannons in this warehouse belong to you." Wu Ze was very calm.
"You must be Xiao Wu, oh, I finally waited for you." Zhang Wanhe walked up to Wu Ze, held Wu Ze's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "My name is Zhang Wanhe, you can just call me Lao Zhang. ”
Zhang Wanhe couldn't help but be excited. Now he was a little worried.
In the past, Zhang Wanhe was also worried.
What worries him is that the warehouse is empty, there are no supplies, and even the rats don't come to visit.
Now, Zhang Wanhe is worried that there are too many supplies in the warehouse, and the damn rats are coming and they can't catch them all.
Of course, Zhang Wanhe hates rats on the one hand.
On the other hand, the Chief of General Staff told him that the 18th Group Army's current appearance was all due to Wu Ze.
Without Wu Ze, there would be no rats in Zhang Wanhe's warehouse now... ahem, there wouldn't be so many piles of supplies.
Now, Zhang Wanhe is excited to see Wu Ze.
"Minister Zhang, you should cancel this ceremony." Wu Zedao, "I have something to tell you."
"Xiao Wu, just say it, the Chief of General Staff has already explained that I will fully cooperate with you Xiao Wu if you have any request." Zhang Wanhe immediately expressed his position.
The Chief of General Staff told Zhang Wanhe that Wu Ze is now the most valuable talent of the 18th Army.
He, Zhang Wanhe, must fully cooperate with Wu Ze's strategies or requests without any neglect.
Of course, Wu Ze's personal safety must also be absolutely safe.
If Wu Ze is accidentally injured, he, Zhang Wan, and this minister will stop doing anything.
"Lao Zhang, are you sure the Chief of General Staff has specifically told you that you must fully cooperate with any request from Xiao Wu?" Kong Jie asked happily.
If this is the case, the cannon can be taken out immediately, haha.
"Xiao Wu, just tell me, I'm listening." Zhang Wanhe looked at Wu Ze seriously.
"Old Zhang, if that's the case, then transfer all the cannons in your warehouse to my independent regiment." Kong Jie interrupted.
Want all the cannons in my warehouse?
When Zhang Wanhe heard this, his expression suddenly trembled.
This is a cannon, the most important artillery weapon of the 18th Army.
Only when fighting a big battle will they be allocated to division-level troops.
As soon as Kong Jie's independent regiment came, they wanted to take them all. They wanted to wrap up the cannons in one regiment. This dream was too beautiful!
Seeing Zhang Wanhe's expression, Kong Jie pushed Wu Ze and said, "This is Xiao Wu's request."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Wanhe blinked and looked at Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, Commander Kong is not joking with me, is he?"
Zhang Wanhe also had some...how to put it, in his heart.
When the cannon was placed in the warehouse in the past, the superiors told him to take good care of the cannon. If there was one missing, he was the only one to ask!
Now when Wu Ze comes, he will transfer all the artillery to the independent regiment. This, this, this... Zhang Wanhe couldn't accept it for a while.
He is the leader of logistics, and he has the final say on the distribution of logistics materials.
Now that Wu Ze is here, it seems that it doesn't matter after he said it. This feeling makes Comrade Lao Zhang a little... uncomfortable.
At least, I can't get used to it yet.
"Minister Zhang, it is my request that all the cannons and shells in your warehouse be allocated to the Independent Regiment." Wu Ze nodded, "The Independent Regiment has important military operations."
"Then, then, let me call the superiors and ask, okay?" Zhang Wanhe opened his mouth, but he still felt that this matter was too big and he should ask the superiors for instructions.
"Old Zhang, what are you asking for? Didn't the Chief of General Staff already tell you everything about Wu Ze..." Kong Jie wanted to say something.
Kong Jie was cursing in his heart: This old Zhang must be fucking unwilling!
Isn't this delaying my meritorious service?
"Captain Kong, don't worry." Wu Ze stopped Kong Jie, and then looked at Zhang Wanhe: "Minister Zhang, please confirm with the superiors about such a big matter."
"Okay, please wait a moment." Zhang Wanhe hurriedly ran to make a phone call.
"Xiao Wu, look, this is Lao Zhang..." Kong Jie looked at Zhang Wanhe's back and said, "He didn't even think about settling you down before asking for instructions. In his eyes, you haven't How many cannons are important..."
"Captain Kong, it's okay. It's not easy for Lao Zhang to make the decision on such a big matter." Wu Ze interrupted Kong Jie.
As soon as Wu Ze arrived, several cannons had to be moved away. Whoever was the logistics director would be confused and would have to ask for instructions from above.
"Old Zhang, didn't I tell you? Xiao Wu is here. You have to fully cooperate with all his requests and don't neglect it!" Zhang Wanhe contacted the chief of general staff through a hidden line. On the phone, Zhang Wanhe contacted the chief of general staff through a hidden line. Before Wan Hedu could finish speaking, the voice of the Chief of General Staff came out.
"Chief of the General Staff, Wu Ze is going to transfer all the cannons and shells in the warehouse to the independent regiment. These are our most precious artillery pieces..." Zhang Wanhe said.
The chief of general staff interrupted again: "Lao Zhang, you didn't put donkey hair in your ears. Didn't you hear me? Whatever Xiao Wu asked you to do, you just do it. Just execute it and don't ask so many questions. Even if he asks you Give all the arms in the warehouse to the Independent Regiment, and you will execute it immediately!"
"Chief of the General Staff, why don't you ask the independent group what action they want to take?" Zhang Wanhe was surprised again. The power given to Wu Ze by the above was too great, which is really incredible.
"You carry out Wu Ze's order first!" said the Chief of General Staff.
"Yes, Chief of General Staff, I'll hang up then." Zhang Wanhe hung up the phone and ran out of the room.
At the headquarters, the Chief of General Staff hung up the phone and said to the Deputy Commander with some strangeness: "Lao Peng, just now the Logistics Minister Lao Zhang called and said that he had received Wu Zehe's machine parts, but as soon as they met, Wu Ze let him go. Lao Zhang transferred all the cannons and shells in the warehouse to the Independent Regiment. I guess Wu Ze asked the Independent Regiment to bring the cannons to support Li Yunlong? But as long as Zhou Weiguo's operation is successful, there is no need for the Independent Regiment to go there to support, let alone Bring all the artillery."
"Perhaps Wu Ze gave the Independent Regiment other important military tasks." The deputy commander-in-chief was very calm.
"Lao Peng, why don't we ask, what important military mission is this?" said the Chief of General Staff.
"Wu Ze has never disappointed anyone in his work. It's always a surprise!" The deputy commander remained calm, "We won't ask, just watch."
"Okay, okay, let's see what happens behind the independent regiment!" the chief of general staff said.
As for Zhang Wanhe, he finished the phone call and ran to Kong Jie and Wu Ze again.
Before Zhang Wanhe spoke, Kong Jie could tell from Zhang Wanhe's expression that Comrade Zhang must have been lectured by his superiors.
Kong Jie smiled and said: "Lao Zhang, what's up? Did the higher-ups ask you to give me all the cannons and shells?"
"Commander Kong, I can tell you that these are the only few most important artillery pieces of our 18th Group Army. You must not lose them." Zhang Wanhe solemnly warned Kong Jie.
"Don't worry, absolutely not, hahaha!" Upon hearing this, Kong Jie immediately said to Second Battalion Commander Shen Quan: "Second Battalion Commander, you heard me, Minister Zhang agreed, what are you still doing in a daze? Go fire the cannon for me. "
"Second Battalion, let's go to the warehouse to pull the cannon." Upon hearing this, Shen Quan quickly took people to the warehouse.
"You guys hurry up and don't let them take anything else!" Zhang Wanhe quickly sent someone else to follow the people from the second battalion.
"Old Zhang, look at you, you treat the soldiers of our independent regiment like thieves." Kong Jie was very unhappy, "I want to ask for something else from you, Old Zhang, but I just want to talk more. Seriously, will I let my soldiers sneak around?"
Zhang Wanhe did not respond to Kong Jie's words, but reminded: "Commander Kong, you should know that artillery shells are also very valuable. When you are fighting, use them sparingly. If you can't use up the artillery shells, just take them back... "
"Minister Zhang, don't worry, I guarantee that not a single shell will be left for you." Kong Jie interrupted Zhang Wanhe.
Just kidding, hitting Yangmingbao Airport is hard work, but we still want to save artillery shells?
"Captain Kong, you..." Zhang Wanhe glared and wanted to reprimand Kong Jie.
Wu Ze spoke: "Minister Zhang, didn't the New Regiment say they are grabbing machine tools? In the future, we can produce artillery shells ourselves."
"But we can't waste it." Zhang Wanhe said, "Our army is still very poor, so we should save money when we should."
"Minister Zhang, if you knew what the Independent Group was going to do, you wouldn't..." After Kong Jie said this, he simply waved his hand, "Forget it, it's useless to tell you more."
"Captain, commander." Shen Quan quickly ran back, his expression as if he had been injected with blood.
"What's wrong, Second Battalion Commander, did you eat bee poop?" Kong Jie looked at Shen Quan suspiciously.
"Captain, there are a large number of mortar grenades in the warehouse, as well as heavy machine guns and light machine guns. How about we just add two to one and make five..." Shen Quan saw it, and Wu Ze said a word , all the cannons in the warehouse were transferred to the independent regiment.
In front of me, although the independent regiment has 3,000 troops, it does not have many mortars and grenades and machine guns.
We're going to Yangmingpu Airport, so we'd better change the guys we have.
Before Shen Quan finished speaking, Zhang Wanhe immediately expressed his expression: "You independent regiment members must know how to be content. This is the weapons and ammunition reserve of our entire army. You can't..."
"Nothing!" Kong Jie interrupted Zhang Wanhe and turned to look at Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, you see, although there are three thousand soldiers in my independent regiment, the guys in my hands are not very powerful. Aren't you going to increase your firepower?"
"Captain Kong, I still say what I said. I've given you the thing. If you can't complete the task, it won't be as simple as cutting off your hand!" Of course Wu Ze understood that increasing the firepower configuration of the independent regiment would be crucial to the capture of Yangming Fort. The airport is a huge help.
"Don't worry, this is related to whether I can be promoted to brigade commander. I will never let you down." Kong Jie vowed.
"Old Zhang, please be considerate and let the soldiers of the independent regiment increase their firepower." Wu Ze said nothing more and turned to look at Zhang Wanhe.
Zhang Wanhe's expression was extremely confused.
All the cannons have been taken by the independent regiment, and now they have to take other light and heavy weapons. This is simply too... excessive.
But Zhang Wanhe remembered the words of the Chief of General Staff on the phone before, and he suppressed the confusion and depression in his heart. He looked at Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, let the independent group take other light and heavy weapons in the warehouse. This is really serious." It's not small, your independent regiment has far more firepower than our division..."
"Minister Zhang, don't worry. I'm here. If there is any problem, I will take responsibility." Wu Ze interrupted Zhang Wanhe.
Zhang Wanhe looked at Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, I'm not talking about the issue of responsibility, but the allocation of weapons and ammunition to the independent regiment. I have no objection, but we can't let them take it casually. If there is any war later, our troops will force……"
"Captain Kong, go and get it yourself. It's up to you to take as much as you can. You can take it as long as you can." Wu Ze knew that Wanhe was afraid of poverty, so he looked like a mother-in-law now.
Wu Ze simply stopped arguing with Zhang Wanhe and turned to Kong Jie.
"Yes, hahahaha." When Kong Jie heard this, he immediately laughed and led the men from the Third Battalion and the First Battalion to the warehouse. "Everyone, pick the guy who is the most advantageous to get it. If you can get the mortar, don't If you can hold a grenade, you can hold a heavy machine gun, but don’t hold a light machine gun.”
Upon seeing this, Zhang Wanhe lost his temper and could only stare.
"Minister, are you really going to let the independent group take it like this?" Many people in the logistics were dumbfounded when they saw this scene.
This independent group is not just taking it, it can be said to be a group of robbers.
"Take it, take it, ugh." Zhang Wanhe sighed, while ordering people to receive the machine parts, he also ordered people to count the types and quantities of weapons taken by the independent group, and then out of sight and out of mind, he led Wu Ze to At the reception area, Wu Ze was poured water: "Xiao Wu, I won't ask about the independent group. If you have any other ideas or requests, just tell me."
"Minister Zhang, where is the location of the arsenal?" Wu Ze asked.
"Here, there is a thin line of sky." Zhang Wanhe pointed to Wu Ze on the map.
"The location needs to be changed." Wu Ze said directly.
In the TV series "Bright Sword", the Yamazaki Brigade raided alone and reached the direction of the sky. An accidental collision exposed the location of the arsenal.
Although the Yamazaki Battalion has been destroyed in the Battle of Wangershan, who can guarantee that no Kizaki Battalion or Tuqi Battalion will accidentally hit them again.
Although Xiantiantian is easy to defend and difficult to attack, once the position is exposed, it cannot withstand... We are not afraid of thieves stealing, but we are afraid that thieves will miss it.
The Eighteenth Group Army snatched machine tools, which completely touched the bottom of Yoshio Shinozuka. He would try his best to strangle the Eighteenth Group Army's military production at all costs.
"Do you want to change the address of the arsenal?" When Zhang Wanhe heard this, he was immediately confused. When Wu Ze came and asked about the location of the arsenal, he wanted to change it immediately?
"Can't you change it?" Wu Ze said.
"If you ask me to change, I will definitely change, but there must be a reason." Zhang Wanhe looked at Wu Ze, "You have never seen our arsenal..."
"I feel like it's not good to build an arsenal over there. Let's move to another place." Wu Ze said.
"Where can I change it?" Zhang Wanhe didn't argue. Anyway, it was said above that he would do whatever Wu Ze asked him to do.
"The machines and machine tools haven't been shipped back yet, don't worry, I'll find a new place during this time." Wu Zedao, "But we have to transfer some workers from the Huangyadong Arsenal."
Huangyadong Arsenal is the largest arsenal of the 18th Group Army.
In 1940, development of the 50 mortar and shells had begun, with production the following year.
In addition to the 50 mortars and artillery shells, the Huangyadong Arsenal also successfully transformed the Hanyang-made rifles and developed the "August 1st" horse rifle.
It can be said that the workers in Huangyadong Arsenal are the best workers.
When new machines and machine tools are brought back, the best workers must be mobilized to get production started as soon as possible.
As for why Wu Ze didn't just move the machine tools to the Huangyadong Arsenal, the main reason was that the terrain there was too steep and transportation was difficult.
Furthermore, a traitor appeared in the Huangyadong Arsenal and was heavily attacked by the Japanese.
Although that would only happen in 1941, Wu Ze could still find the traitor in advance.
But the biggest problem is that the terrain is steep and it is too difficult to transport.
It's best not to put eggs in one basket.
"How many people need to be transferred?" Zhang Wanhe asked.
"I will write you this in detail." Wu Ze said, "Go and mobilize some people now, and then let them follow the independent group."
Thirty thousand days of supplies for the puppet army have been seized. The independent regiment is going to Yangmingbao Airport. Someone has to transport these supplies back.
"What, the independent regiment has taken all the cannons and light and heavy weapons, and I still want to give them people?" Zhang Wanhe didn't understand when Wu Ze withdrew the topic again.
"The Independent Regiment will seize a large amount of supplies, but they don't have the manpower or time to transport them back." Wu Ze said.
"Are you sure?" When Zhang Wanhe heard about this large amount of supplies, he immediately felt happy. He knew that this loan was not in vain.
"certainly."
"Okay, okay, I'll send someone to organize the manpower right away." Zhang Wan and Ma Liu said.
…
The three thousand men of the Independent Regiment took Zhang Wan and all the good guys they could get from the warehouse. Before leaving, Kong Jie came over to say goodbye to Wu Ze: "Xiao Wu, when I am promoted to brigade commander, I will treat you to a drink." .”
"Okay, Commander Kong, I'm waiting for your drink." Wu Ze nodded.
