October 23, 1940, Qijiang County, Qijiang County Security Headquarters
Wang Yue couldn't stay in Binzhou any longer, so he took the time to go back to Liangjian Time and Space to have a drink with Li Yunlong. For this reason, he also bought a lot of Binzhou Laojiao. He never thought that Li Yunlong was not in Qijiang County. After asking about it, he found out that our General Li actually went to Shancheng University to give a report to the college students. Along with him was Deputy Chief of Staff Xie Jinyuan. These two are now well-known anti-Japanese heroes. Their popularity is definitely not just one or two, and they are highly sought after by everyone. Not excessive.
Just like one day, Zhao Xiuqin was harassed by two gangsters in the city. Li Yunlong went over and said, "This is my wife" without hitting or scolding her. As a result, that night, the hall where the two gangsters were was They were wiped out, and even the patriarch and the two of them were chopped into pieces. The ones who did it were the bandits who came in from outside the city. Although Li Yunlong was working vigorously to suppress the bandits, most of the bandits were thrown into labor reform. The ones who were really killed There are not many, so Li Yunlong still has a high status in the hearts of those old bandits. They all think that General Li Yunlong is "unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness" and "does not like killing."
Li Yunlong wanted to deal with Wu Datou and sent troops to suppress bandits in Northeast Guizhou. The leaders were simply local bandits and gangs. Those bandits even took the initiative to cooperate with the Eighth Route Army to create a situation where the military and civilians were in trouble. Wu Heqing's situation in Northeast Guizhou was The property suffered heavy losses, and he had to send people over many times to try to make peace, but Li Yunlong simply refused to give him this chance and promised to carry out the suppression of bandits to the end.
In order to demonstrate his determination and ability to suppress bandits, Li Yunlong also organized his troops to conduct a military exercise. Tanks, aircraft, artillery, surface ships were all pulled out, and even B-4 howitzers were pulled out, and dozens of rounds were fired in a row Artillery shells, completely leveling an abandoned village that had been used as a target.
Wu Heqing was so frightened that they almost went crazy. It is said that almost 100,000 civilians have been mobilized to build fortifications in their old homes. They have built multiple large-scale semi-permanent fortification groups. In addition, they have also expanded their troops massively. The militia and bandits were all reorganized into the regular army, and an army of more than 10,000 people was raised. The slogan was to protect the territory and the people, resist Japan and suppress the bandits. They even sent a telegram to the highest authorities, requesting to lead the army to march eastward. Go and serve on the front line.
Naturally, the highest authorities saw through Wu Heqing's little thoughts at a glance, so they ignored Wu Heqing at all. He was just a bandit. Li Yunlong was his savior, the most powerful general in the government, and an anti-Japanese hero. As long as the highest authorities had no brains The problem, naturally, was that he would not reach out to help Wu Heqing.
The highest authorities have expressed their stance, and some of the people below who were still wavering have firmed up and started to cut off from Wu Heqing. Even some of the forces that had previously relied on Wu Heqing left him. For a time, Wu Heqing, the giant bandit in Northeast Guizhou, The Heqing Department actually showed some signs of falling apart.
It is said that if Wu Heqing is a smart man, he should leave Northeastern Guizhou now, go to a small island in the south, and live in seclusion honestly. Even Li Yunlong may not really be able to kill everyone, but Wu Heqing is not willing to give in. How could it be possible to give up the foundation built for decades in vain?
As a result, Wu Heqing also got angry. Not only did he hire Belarusian instructors from Magic City to train his troops, he also used his old money to buy weapons and ammunition. He also bought a division of F country equipment from Annan, and even a few vehicles. The old-fashioned Renault tanks once again clamored for a decisive battle with Li Yunlong, and advertised in newspapers "Reverse the Communist Party to save the country and expel the Eighth Route Army" in an attempt to win over the reactionary forces within the mountain city government and gain support.
I don’t know if anyone in the mountain city government here supports Wu Heqing, but Wu Heqing’s actions attracted the attention of the Jinling puppet government and the extra-tertiary education institutions, and they sent special envoys to northeastern Guizhou to contact Wu Heqing. , although the details of the contact between the two parties are not yet clear, the military commander has initially confirmed that Wu Heqing has rebelled and surrendered to the enemy.
Although Wu Heqing only has more than 10,000 troops in his hands, the problem is that the Shancheng government does not have many troops in Qian Province, and they are all second-line troops with poor equipment and weak combat effectiveness. Even without the influence of the terrain in Northeast Guizhou, Qian Even the small army in the province could not quickly annihilate Wu Heqing.
Moreover, the Japanese are still in contact with many local powerful factions in Guizhou Province. You cannot guarantee the position of these people at all. Once Wu Heqing takes the lead and falls to the Jinling puppet government, the most serious situation is that Guizhou Province will completely fall. This is something the government absolutely cannot do. Acceptable, recently, several troops from the Ninth Theater Command have begun to move toward the Hunan-Guizhou border, apparently to frighten the local forces in Guizhou Province.
As for going deep into northeastern Guizhou to annihilate Wu Heqing, the Ministry of Military Affairs and Political Affairs made several assessments and concluded that the mobilization of troops must not be less than 100,000, otherwise it would be impossible to guarantee the annihilation of Wu Heqing. A campaign-sized reserve of ammunition and supplies would also need to be prepared for the troops, which would last for three months. time.
This made the highest authorities scold "Niang Xipi". A bandit actually asked himself to mobilize 100,000 elites and spend three months to encircle and suppress them. This is enough for a small-scale battle with the Japanese army, okay? But it is not possible without encirclement and suppression. The government needs to ensure the control of Qian Province and prevent Wu Heqing from going north to the mountain city. It should be noted that further north from northeastern Guizhou is Qijiang County, and to the north of Qijiang County is the mountain city. If Wu Heqing makes a desperate move to go north to the mountain city, he will also Very troublesome.
As a result, the Ministry of Military Affairs' attitude toward Li Yunlong's suppression of bandits changed. During this period, it kept hinting that Li Yunlong could increase its efforts to suppress bandits. It even stated that as long as Li Yunlong sent troops to destroy Wu Heqing, the government would give him the temporary 68th Division. Replenish losses.
But who is Li Yunlong? He is definitely a man who will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit. The iron rooster will drop a pile of iron foam in his hands. With a few empty words and a promise, Lao Li will send troops to suppress the bandits. How is it possible? , that’s not our Lao Li’s style.
Another purpose of Li Yunlong dragging Xie Jinyuan around to make reports was to hide from those guys in the Military and Political Department, and to let Lao Li send troops to fight desperately without getting any benefits. How could that be possible? Although Li Yunlong was also anxious to kill Wu Heqing, he still had to wait for the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs' bid.
Wang Yue was a little confused when he understood the twists and turns here. The situation changed so fast. In just a few days, Li Yunlong's borderline behavior became a proper national behavior. Why didn't he think of clearing Wu He and Qinghe early in the morning? The Japs were linked together. It was really careless. Li Yunlong was forced to defect to the Jinling government. That guy Wu Heqing must have been in cahoots with the Japs early on. These days, how many of those military leaders, big and small, dare to I guarantee that I have no contact with the Japanese at all.
Wang Yue thought about borrowing a torpedo boat to go to Li Yunlong and experience the Shancheng University in 1940, but Zhao Gang refused to let him go and insisted on dragging him to reconcile the accounts of the materials sold by Wang Yue to the Eighth Route Army. , As a result, this pair spent the whole morning together.
After Wang Yue finally got rid of Zhao Gang's clutches, General Chen came to visit him again. According to Zhao Gang, this was the third time that General Chen came to see Wang Yue.
"Admiral Chen, if you have anything to do, please leave me a message and I will go find you. What are you doing in Qijiang on this hot day?" Wang Yue said politely, but secretly felt that Chen Shang The general's brain waves fluctuated, and General Chen was very anxious. It seemed that something was urgent.
"Mr. Wang, to be honest, I really have something to ask for when I come here this time." General Chen couldn't help but curse in his heart. I have looked for you twice. I am counting on you to take the initiative to come to me. It is estimated that the War of Resistance is over.
"Admiral Chen, if you have something to say, just talk about it directly. In our relationship, who is following whom?" Wang Yue probably guessed that he either wanted supplies or arms, and arms were more likely.
"Mr. Wang, the thing is like this. The Ministry of Military and Political Affairs plans to train 20 divisions in the Ninth War Zone. However, the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs has just trained 100 divisions. The weapons in hand are really not enough. I just want to ask if we can be That installment order was delivered early?”
"General Chen, there is no need to mention this matter again. There is no room for maneuver on this matter, and as the war continues to heat up, there may be restrictions on subsequent deliveries." Wang Yue refused without thinking. Are you kidding me? Setting this delivery deadline is just to prevent you and the highest authorities from making a mess again. Now that the situation of the war of resistance seems to be improving, the highest authorities have trained another hundred divisions of troops. It is difficult to handle.
"Mr. Wang, if we place a new order, can we deliver it all at once?" Admiral Chen didn't think Wang Yue would have other ideas. After all, arms trade has always been a very complicated matter. It's normal for a year or two.
"Yes, but I can only provide the solution. You have no choice." Wang Yue considered that he had a lot of weapons in his hoard, so he wanted to clear them out as soon as possible.
"I wonder what kind of weapons Mr. Wang can provide?" General Chen hesitated, but he didn't dare to show it. After all, Wang Yue doesn't want cash here. For the current Ministry of Military Affairs, they really have no choice.
"Mosin-Nagant rifle M1891 rifle, 80% new, 200,000 pieces, 30 oceans each, totaling 6 million oceans; 3,000 Deggarev DP28 light machine guns, 500 oceans each, totaling 1 One and a half million oceans; one thousand Maxim heavy machine guns, one thousand oceans each, totaling one million oceans; 40,000 TT-33 pistols, fifty oceans each, totaling two million oceans, and these are the light weapons Well, it is probably enough. They are all Soviet-style equipment, and we are familiar with them." Although Wang Yue had other miscellaneous weapons in his hands, considering the chaotic logistics of the national army, he still gave them the Su-style weapons that were already equipped. weapons.
"Mr. Wang, don't you have any heavy weapons?" General Chen frowned slightly. Although these light weapons are enough. According to the standards of the Ministry of Military Affairs, forty divisions are enough. But without heavy weapons, the army will also have shortcomings. of.
"Yes, there are 211 Renault R35/40 tanks, each worth 100,000 oceans, totaling 21.1 million oceans; 94 Hotchkiss H35/39 tanks, each costing 100,000 oceans, totaling 9.4 million oceans ; 203 M1928 105mm field guns, each costing 80,000 oceans, totaling 16.24 million oceans; 1,000 M1937 50mm grenade launchers, each costing 500 oceans, totaling 500,000 oceans, which should be enough Are you done?" Wang Yue originally wanted to empty all the French weapons in his hands, but in the end he failed because there were too many.
"That's enough, that's enough!" General Chen couldn't help but show joy on his face.
Some people died, but not completely...
