The fire on the hilltop outside Shanhaiguan burned for three days and did not go out. Xie Tian couldn't wait to see the results. The next day, he inspected and personally deployed the epidemic prevention work in Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan and nearby villages before returning to Tianjin, accompanied by Zhang Xueliang.
The two stopped in Tianjin and set off for Weihai.
The train can now only go to Dezhou, which is controlled by the Eighth Route Army. There is still a war in Jinan, so the train cannot go through. The two people simply travel by car and replenish some supplies and equipment for Zhongye.
The daily output of JH44 assault rifles is around 600, and it will take several months for all the hundreds of thousands of troops to be re-equipped. Xie Tian brought 7,000 to Zhongye this time, enough to equip two regiments.
Without further ado, Xiaoxing stayed overnight. Five days later, a huge convoy arrived in Yantai. Kong Jie had already rushed back to Yantai from the Qingdao front line to greet Xie Tian and Zhang Xueliang, and took the opportunity to receive supplies and equipment.
Kong Jie is now also proud of the spring breeze. He fought all the way from Cangzhou with overwhelming force. The liberated areas were established piece by piece in his hands, and the captured little Japanese weapons and equipment piled up like mountains.
Now that Kong Jie has a higher level of vision, he doesn't look down on the ordinary little devil's equipment at all. The aircraft and cannons are just okay, but the crooked handles of the 38-cap grenade are simply junk in his eyes.
why?
As mentioned before, Nakano captured an aircraft carrier under construction by the Japanese in Weihai. It was a behemoth, said to be over 10,000 tons.
That was captured by Kong Jie's First Army in the Middle Field. You said that with this aircraft carrier there, does Kong Jie still think highly of the 38th cover?
After receiving Xie Tian, Kong Jie arranged to entertain the supply convoy coming from afar for a meal. Each table had eight dishes and seafood, and he looked like he was wealthy.
And damn, there are only eight dishes. Xie Tian couldn't help but smile. Damn, you guys, you guys, just mess with me, these bastards.
Kong Jie personally poured wine for Xie Tian, Zhang Xueliang and others and reported on the situation in Qingdao.
The reason why there were so many sieges without fighting was because the Qingdao Japs had all their fortifications retracted into the urban area. Kong Jie did not dare to act rashly, fearing that the Japs would jump over the wall and massacre the people.
Kong Jie called Xie Tian and asked the Air Force to follow the example of liberating Qinhuangdao and drop Red No. 1s on the entire city of Qingdao. However, all the Red No. 1s in Xie Tian's hands had been consumed at that time, so the battle in Qingdao was delayed.
The current siege forces in Qingdao are attacking the periphery, but according to reports from the siege forces, the Japanese army now has a large number of ships entering and exiting the port every day, and they should be evacuating people and materials.
The guns of Kong Jie's troops could not reach these ships. The Third Air Division in the middle field was supporting the Fuyang operation and could not get away. They could only watch as these ships pulled people and supplies out one by one.
Xie Tian frowned: "What about Huangdao? Can't occupying Huangdao blockade the Qingdao port?"
Kong Jie grinned in embarrassment: "Huangdao was occupied by the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. I heard that the order was given by Commander Lin himself, and Brigadier Xu Haidong personally took command. I was worried about friction with them and did not order the artillery to go to Huangdao. .”
"Damn it, they came to snatch the peaches at this time and let the Japanese escape." Xie Tian slapped the table.
Kong Jie did not dare to speak. When he was in the Red Army, Kong Jie was the company commander of the Red 78th Division. The 344th Brigade was reorganized from the Red 73rd, 75th, and 78th Divisions. After the reorganization, Kong Jie became the platoon leader. At that time, Xu Haidong was the 344th Brigade. The brigade commander is Kong Jie's immediate boss.
Xie Tian picked up the wine glass and drank it all, looked at Zhang Xueliang and said: "Brother Hanqing, you go to Weihai first tomorrow, and I will go to Huangdao to meet this Xu Haidong. If you don't poop in the manhole, then you will do nothing in the manhole." "
Zhang Xueliang smiled bitterly: "How about we go together."
Xie Tian waved his hand: "No need, I'm not looking for a fight with him. You have studied the aircraft carrier. Take the time to see when that aircraft carrier can be used. As soon as it can be used, we will immediately formulate a battle plan to liberate Northeast China."
Liberating Northeast China is what Zhang Xueliang cares most about. He looked at Xie Tian with a wry smile and nodded: "Well, pay attention to safety when you go and bring more guards."
Xie Tian didn't need to say something big like it was unnecessary. He hummed and lowered his head to eat.
Kong Jie originally wanted to ask Xie Tian if he wanted to support the 344th Brigade with the captured Japanese equipment, but he did not dare to ask this time.
In the afternoon of the next day, Eighth Route Army soldiers who were on duty outside Huangdao saw a large force coming from the direction of Qingdao, with at least more than a hundred trucks and cannons towed. They were startled and hurriedly blew their whistles.
Eighth Route Army soldiers rushed out from all over to enter the fortifications, and light and heavy machine guns, mortars and grenades were also aimed at the incoming troops.
The large army stopped at a suitable location and did not form a battle formation.
A jeep drove out from the army. Seeing that there were only two people in the jeep, the Eighth Route Army soldiers knew that they were not there to fight, and lowered their guns under the orders of the company and platoon leaders.
The jeep drove directly to the roadblock set up by the Eighth Route Army before stopping. Kong Jie jumped out of the car and saluted the awaiting Eighth Route Army sentries. He said in a deep voice: "I am Kong Jie, commander of the First Army of the Central Plains Field Army of the People's Liberation Army. Our general The commander wants to see you, Brigadier Xu, please inform him."
The Eighth Route Army sentry was stunned for a moment, looked at Kong Jie with hostility and asked: "Which commander-in-chief do you have?"
The commander-in-chief of Zhongye is Xu Shiyou. In the hearts of many Eighth Route Army soldiers, Xu Shiyou is a traitor to the Eighth Route Army, including Commander Kong in front of him, who is also a traitor to the Eighth Route Army.
I have to say that the Eighth Route Army did a good job in political work. The soldiers were very loyal to the Eighth Route Army. What they hated most were traitors.
Kong Jie stared at the sentry and said word by word: "The Tenth Theater of the National Revolutionary Army, Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, Xie Tian Xie Baoqing."
(As mentioned above, during the Dayanglou party, Xie Tian corrected his name, and his surname was Xie, Tian, and Baoqing)
The sentry was startled when he heard Xie Baoqing's name and hurriedly replied: "Please wait a moment, I will report right away."
After that, the sentry jumped into the fortification and shook the telephone handle violently. He was really worried that he would break the telephone handle.
The call was quickly connected, and the sentry shouted hurriedly: "I'm the forward sentry, pick me up from the brigade headquarters, quickly."
Before the call from the brigade headquarters was connected, the Eighth Route Army soldiers in the trenches at the forward sentry were already in a commotion.
Almost every soldier stood up from the trench, craned his neck and looked at the large PLA troops parked not far away, looking for which one was the legendary Xie Baoqing.
Xie Baoqing's reputation is too great. No matter his political work, he can't discredit Xie Baoqing's contribution to China's Anti-Japanese War. He single-handedly liberated Shanxi, liberated Hebei, liberated Pingjin, liberated Qinhuangdao, and now he is liberating again. Shandong. (The People's Liberation Army is Xie Baoqing, and Xie Baoqing is the People's Liberation Army)
Now that Xie Baoqing is here, who doesn’t want to see what Xie Baoqing looks like? Does he have three heads and six arms like the legendary one, with a hot wheel on his feet, a banana fan in his left hand, and a golden hoop in his right hand?
Damn it, Allegro Zhang ruined Xie Tian...
