Chapter 811: Knocking on the British's bamboo pole and making a fortune!
Zhang Wei was overjoyed in his heart, he didn't expect that there were dozens of tons of materials in the ancient city, as well as a large number of weapons and ammunition, which was exactly what was needed to collect the city.
According to the plan agreed upon by Commander Du and Zhang Wei, the second regiment will be the vanguard regiment, and the 200 division will be the vanguard division of the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
As for the 40 tons of materials to aid China, to be honest, it is not very attractive to Zhang Wei, this batch of materials is originally Chinese, the Chinese army naturally has the right to use it, and Zhang Wei wants to rush this batch of materials back to China, 40 tons of industrial materials, gasoline, weapons, is of great significance to the country, staying in Tonggu, it is really too dangerous, it is better to transport them back to China and play a greater value.
Zhang Wei, who was sitting quietly, had already stared at the two tons of weapons and ammunition of the British, ripping bamboo poles, and using other people's equipment This kind of thing, Zhang Wei loves to do it very much, and has a plan in his heart, Zhang Wei is in the conference room, and immediately starts to knock bamboo poles.
……
Zhang Wei: "Colonel Henry, thank you very much for your answer, now I have an understanding of the defense situation of your army in the Tonggu area, with all due respect, the defense strength of your army can only be said to be better than nothing, a mere one and a half battalions of troops, defending such a big city as Tonggu, it is good to say that it is courageous, and it is not good to say that it is not self-sufficient, according to the agreement between us and you, the defense of the Tonggu front line is entrusted to our army, and your department can lift the guard in the Tonggu area, retreat, or go elsewhere, it is all up to you, in short, In a word, the defense of Tonggu has been handed over to our national army! ”
The liaison officer Hu Kainuo quickly translated, and after listening to it, British Colonel Henry had a normal face and nodded at Zhang Wei.
"Sir, Colonel Henry said that he is also very grateful to you, thank you for our army's assistance in defense, and he also received an order from his superiors to hand over the defense of Tonggu to our army, and you will defend Tonggu in accordance with the mutual defense agreement, and he will naturally hand over the defense of Tonggu to you in accordance with the agreement, and also said that you are a gentleman who keeps his promises."
Hu Kainuo translated Colonel Henry's words of thanks word by word, Zhang Wei naturally greeted Henry with a smile on his face, and he was happy in his heart, he said good things to the British before, just waiting for this Colonel Henry to take the bait, and now Henry took the initiative to mention the Sino-Burmese mutual defense agreement, which is exactly what Zhang Wei is happy to see.
This is because there is a clause in the Sino-Burmese mutual defense agreement: Britain must provide weapons and equipment to the Chinese army in a timely manner to assist the Chinese army in combat.
"Colonel Henry is right, as soldiers, we must abide by the treaty, and you, as a gentleman of the British Empire, think about it as such, Tonggu, leave it to us, I didn't say it."
"But, we can't compare with your army, the equipment of the troops is too poor, the soldiers lack food and ammunition, take my regiment as an example, lack of artillery, lack of machine guns, lack of everything, an infantry regiment, not even a truck, the soldiers' fighting consciousness and will to fight are very strong, but the equipment is not good, just right, according to you, your army has ammunition stocks and two car companies in Tonggu, I hope that your army can transfer ammunition and cars to our army, I don't know what Colonel Henry wants?"
Zhang Wei said with a smile.
Since you took the initiative to mention the treaty, then you should abide by the treaty, Zhang Wei touched the vine and led the words to the ammunition and the car.
When Hu Kainuo finished translating, the Colonel Henry's face was immediately wrong, obviously reluctant.
Hu Kainuo looked at Zhang Wei and said: "Regiment commander, Colonel Henry said that this is the weapons and ammunition of their troops, whether to transfer it or not, he can't decide, I hope we can overcome it." ”
Of course, Zhang Wei knew that the British would not easily transfer things, so he continued to strike while the iron was hot and said.
"Colonel Henry, our army is really short of ammunition, if you are really unwilling to hand it over, I will respond to the supreme commander of our expeditionary force, and make a request to your Anglo-Burmese army to transfer equipment...... I'm afraid, Colonel Henry, you're not going to have a good time then. ”
Zhang Wei is very direct, and after the polite words, he will come directly to the hard, anyway, this British guy has only one and a half battalions, what can he do, compared with the strength of the supplementary second regiment, Zhang Wei is a big deal to grab the two tons of weapons and ammunition.
After hearing this threat, Colonel Henry's face turned red and white, and he stood up without a gentlemanly squirting Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei still kept a smile and dealt with it safely, anyway...... He didn't understand either.
Next, the two parties began to argue, Henry was unwilling to hand over the ammunition and cars, Zhang Wei insisted on the ammunition and cars, and argued with each other for more than half an hour, and the final result was ...... Of course, Zhang Wei succeeded, and Henry finally reluctantly agreed to hand over the ammunition, and handed over the two tons of weapons and ammunition in the British warehouses and the two car companies in the same ancient city to the second supplementary regiment.
The only request made by Henry was that the British officers and non-commissioned officers in the two car companies be evacuated, leaving only the Burmese drivers.
Zhang Wei wished that Henry would do this, and readily agreed to his request, and in this way, Zhang Wei extorted two tons of weapons and ammunition and two automobile companies from the British in an almost rogue manner.
……
Zhang Wei left the conference room refreshed, but he did not return to the army, but sent someone to inform He Kun's baggage company and Xue Rong's spy platoon to come over, and rushed to the British ammunition depot on the outskirts of the city.
The herald sent out was in a British truck, and after He Kun's baggage was connected to the order, he quickly pulled out to the designated position, and met Zhang Wei at the British ammunition depot on the outskirts of the city, Zhang Wei took the receiving documents given by the British, and led his troops to take over the British ammunition depot, Xue Rong's special service platoon replaced the alert British and Burmese troops, and served as the guard of the warehouse, He Kun's baggage company quickly entered the ammunition depot, list, and carry materials.
The time of the inventory was unexpectedly long, and the result was even more amazing, Zhang Wei, who got the list, finally knew why Colonel Henry was so reluctant to give the warehouse to himself, because this warehouse was far from two tons of weapons and ammunition, but at least eight and a half tons!
Henry's so-called two tons at the meeting were mostly data that this guy made up to confuse the public, and this girl had reduced the number of inventories by more than three-quarters, and he was also a master with many thieves.
Zhang Wei once wondered if Colonel Henry was hiding other things from him?
In this warehouse, there were at least six and a half tons of weapons and ammunition, including 1,550 Thomson submachine guns, 400 Lee Enfield rifles, 250 cloth wheel light machine guns, 40 American M2 Browning large-caliber machine guns, 20 Boyns anti-tank guns, and a large number of 11.43 mm submachine gun rounds, 7.7 mm rifle machine gun rounds, 12.7 mm heavy machine gun rounds, anti-tank rifle rounds, British Mills grenades, and a large number of shells and gasoline of various types.
This is not the end, the richness of the things in the warehouse is far beyond Zhang Wei's imagination, in addition to these infantry guns, the baggage company also found a considerable amount of heavy equipment in the warehouse.
This batch of heavy equipment includes 14 British QFMK2 two-pounder anti-tank guns, eight latest British six-pounder anti-tank guns, and most importantly, four British-made MK2 25-pounder field guns and 12 cloth-wheeled light armored personnel carriers!
This time, Zhang Wei made a fortune!
