Chapter 339: Beginning the Journey of the God of War (2)
Dai Cunxiang wanted to knock Dong Wenbin for a drink, but this is good, he was reversed by the army, he really dug the pit and jumped by himself, and said helplessly: "Okay, good, good, I'll please, can't I please?" ”
"It's pretty much the same, let's talk about it first, please ask for three days." Dai Cunxiang confessed, which made Dong Wenbin even more proud, he ignored Dai Cunxiang anymore, and shouted to the Americans who were drilling out of the tank: "Hello, elcome to China." ”
"The tails are up to the sky." Dai Cunxiang spat on the ground hatefully, although he was very dissatisfied with Dong Wenbin's pride, but there was only jealousy in his eyes, not resentment.
"Sao, what's wrong, today you are like a defeated rooster."
A familiar laughter came into his ears, making the already depressed Dai Cunxiang even more irritable, and he replied angrily: "How far and how far away, don't bother me." Dai Cunxiang didn't twist his head when he said this, the person who dared to call him a sassy chicken must be his own brother, and he would definitely not be mad because of his angry words, which is why he blurted out without thinking about it.
"Yo, I've never seen the God of Wealth drive out. Sao Jigong, I came to give you weapons with kindness, but you don't want it yourself, don't go to the military seat to sue me for injustice afterwards. ”
As soon as he heard the words "send weapons", Dai Cunxiang turned around quickly as if he had been pricked by a needle, followed the reputation, and found that it was Deng Dongping who spoke.
"It's the Chief of Staff, what weapon did you send me?" Dai Cunxiang immediately turned into a smiling face, which formed a great contrast with the helplessness just now.
"Someone wants me to roll as far as possible, where else do I have any weapons to send." Deng Dongping pretended to be angry, and even looked like he was going to roll on the ground, and asked, "Does Deputy Division Commander Dai want me to roll sideways or vertically?" ”
"Oh, my brother, my chief of staff, don't kill me, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." Dai Cunxiang knew that Deng Dongping was teasing him, but he was really rude just now, and he should be coaxed.
"Okay, Dongping, don't joke about Cunxiang, hurry up and let him send someone to unload his things, so that everyone will have to blow the cold wind by the river." Sun Yumin's voice came at the right time, although his eyes had been staring at these tanks, but the frolicking of his henchmen and brothers fell on his eyes.
Since Zhou Hong and Zhou Hainan, although there is no shortage of obedient brothers around him, when it comes to fighting, except for Liu Wenzhi, Dai Cunxiang has to be counted, and even Deng Dongping and Zhang Xiaohu have to be ranked behind him. So when he saw Dai Cunxiang's envy of Dong Wenbin's appearance, he decided to equip his Seventh Regiment with American-style weapons first. Deng Dongping was ordered by him to inform Dai Cunxiang.
After the small episode, Dai Cunxiang knew that Sun Yumin was going to change the clothes of the Seventh Regiment, and he was very excited. Originally, when he was the commander of the second regiment, even if he was "wronged", the German-style submachine gun was fully equipped with Deng Dongping's regiment, whether it was MP38 or MP40, he had no share, and this new American tank and artillery had nothing to do with him. When he was full of loss, he got such exciting news that told him how not to be excited.
The Seventh Regiment is based on the soldiers who came from the four detachments, joined some of the recruits from Yangshupu, and joined some newly deployed recruits in Ruichang, and its own combat effectiveness is no less than that of the first and second regiments, and now the weapons in hand are all replaced with M1 semi-automatic rifles, and even some fully automatic carbines, such weapons not only exceed the first and second regiments, but even the devils who have always had an advantage in weapons and equipment are not on the same level.
It was already very lucky to buy so many weapons and equipment at a low price, but Sun Yumin didn't expect that Qian Jin actually brought back a lot of American-style military uniforms, compared with the German-style military uniforms he is wearing now, the style of American-style military uniforms is more than a little better-looking, and the quality is not worse than that of Germans.
With this batch of military uniforms, Sun Yumin was even more determined to build the Seventh Regiment into a U.S. weapons regiment, and he even forcibly deducted three 75mm caliber M1 mountain guns from Dong Wenbin's mouth to the Seventh Regiment, so that the artillery company of the Seventh Regiment was upgraded to an artillery battalion, and the artillery company that originally only had 82mm mortars and captured Japanese 80mm caliber mortars and grenadier canisters could be regarded as a shotgun for artillery, and there was a world of difference between three 75mm caliber mountain guns and nothing.
At the banquet to welcome the American instructors, Sun Yumin asked about the possibility of dismantling the Browning M1918A4 machine guns on the left and right sides of the M3 light tank car, and when he received a positive answer, Dai Cunxiang knew that he was lucky with shit, and who else could the machine guns removed from the tank be given to him, naturally it was his own Seventh Regiment. Dai Cunxiang was still worried about the two bullets his troops, but now it seems that this trouble should not exist. Although he didn't know the performance of this machine gun, when he saw Sun Yumin's happy smile, he knew that he must have picked up a big bargain. Dai Cunxiang did not know that Sun Yumin did not purchase a batch of Browning M1918A2 machine guns because he did not have enough money, and now the M1918A4 machine guns removed from the tank can completely make up for the regret of not purchasing machine guns.
Dong Wenbin is a high-achieving student who has stayed abroad, and when communicating with American instructors, his fluent English convinces the brothers who were not convinced, and everyone understands at this time that this guy usually can't see anything different, but in fact, there is goods in people's stomachs.
When Sun Yumin planned to form an armored force, he thought of letting Dong Wenbin, a radio specialist, be the chief officer of this unit, whether it is the radio communication equipment of the German tank or the SCR210 communication system on the M3 light tank of the US army, this requires professional knowledge and systematic study to master, and it is not something that anyone can understand.
There were a total of 23 American instructors that Johnson helped invite, led by a retired army sergeant named Nicholas. Sun Yumin personally attended the welcome dinner, giving them 23 people enough face, and Nicholas and others said on the spot that they would help train armored troops and artillery.
Sun Yumin naturally would not let the family work in vain, promising that each of them would have a low salary every month, and if they could help the battlefield, the salary would be higher.
The Americans are not stupid, they have money to earn, of course they are willing to go to the battlefield, the artillery hides behind and bombards, although the armored troops have to rush to the front, but the devil troops are usually not equipped with armor-piercing shells, the reason is very simple, because the armored troops of the national army are too few, like the Lanfeng battlefield, Qiu Qingquan's two armored battalions are simply in no man's land. So these American instructors said that they went to the battlefield, but in fact it was not much different from training soldiers.
Although the 81st Division and the devil confronted each other on the line from Gao'an to Gaogao, and the spies hidden in the 139th Division were not found, he was not afraid of the upcoming battle at all.
Thanks to the efforts of the American instructors and soldiers, the artillery regiment and the armored battalion subordinate to the artillery regiment have been able to master the performance of American equipment, and Nicholas personally took two instructors to the Seventh Regiment to teach the infantry drills of the American army.
Although more than a month of intensive training enabled the Seventh Regiment and the artillery regiment attached to the army to skillfully use these weapons and equipment, they also consumed a lot of materials, especially diesel, which became a headache for Sun Yumin.
Even if he sent someone to Shanghai or Wuhan to procure it at this time, it would be too late in the face of the imminent war, and in desperation, Sun Yumin had to go to the headquarters of the 19th Group Army in person to find Luo Zhuoying to solve this big problem.
"Yumin, I still have some diesel, but as far as your truck is concerned, how much fuel is used, and you are asked to run this trip yourself, I will let people send ten barrels over." Luo Zhuoying behaved very generously, but it made Sun Yumin difficult, and he didn't know whether he should tell him about the tank.
At this moment, the 19th Group Army itself has the strength of three armies: Liu Duoquan's 49th Army, Li Jue's 70th Army, and Han Quanpu's 72nd Army; Moreover, Chen Cheng also deployed the 74th Army, the ace of the national army, to the command of Luo Zhuoying, this all-German armament and equipment unit is star-studded, not to mention the resolute army commander Wang Yaowu, as well as Shi Zhongcheng as the division commander of the 57th Division, Li Tianxia as the division commander of the 51st Division, Zhang Lingfu as the deputy division commander, and the division commander is Liao Lingqi's 58th Division, with a total strength of more than 31,000 people.
The reason why Sun Yumin didn't say it to Luo Zhuoying was because he knew that the 19th Group Army was originally a unit in the national army that could fight well, not to mention the 74th Army, it was simply a thorn in the side of the devil, but no matter how fierce they were, they did not have an organized armored force.
"Yumin, what's wrong, it's too little?" Luo Zhuoying looked at him embarrassed, suddenly laughed, and said, "Is it that after fifteen more monsters drinking oil, you feel a little powerless?" ”
"Chief Luo, you...... You got it. "Everyone has already pointed it out, how can Sun Yumin still pretend to be crazy and stupid. It's just that he said this, and he was even more embarrassed.
"What do you say?" Luo Zhuoying walked up to him with a teacup, looked at him with a smile on his face, and then said, "I not only know that you have fifteen tanks, but also what you bought back from Shanghai?" Not only do I know, but Chief Chen also knows, and even the commissioner knows it. ”
"Ah......" Sun Yumin was dumbfounded, he had thought that the news would leak out of this matter, but he didn't expect it to be so fast. It seems that his side is not clean, not only are there spies of devils, but there are also a lot of spies of the military and the central command, Sun Yumin is thinking about thinking of a way to have a thorough cleansing.
"Don't be surprised, this matter was spread by your people when they borrowed Zhongtong Radio in Shanghai. So you can rest assured that the news is not coming from you. Luo Zhuoying is the one who leads the troops, so he will naturally know that it is taboo for generals to have lurking personnel around him, he saw Sun Yumin frowning, and immediately understood what he was thinking, and comforted him.
"I'm not worried, I'm just thinking that it's a bit ...... to purchase this batch of weapons and equipment without the permission of the commission and Chief Chen," Sun Yumin responded to Luo Zhuoying's words.
"You don't have to worry about this, if you don't have the permission to sit down, do you think you can sell it for such a high price with your few so-called treasures? And can the money from the exhibition hall be transferred to Shanghai so quickly? Although Luo Zhuoying only said this, and did not point it thoroughly, Sun Yumin already understood very well that the reason why he was able to purchase this batch of weapons and equipment so smoothly was because of the support given from above.
"Thank you and Chief Chen, and even more so Chief Luo, the help you have given to Yumin is simply too great." Although Sun Yumin was very disappointed in this corrosive Nationalist government, and he was not interested in Lao Jiang and Chen Cheng, in this matter, at least the people did a good job, and he should thank them verbally. As for Luo Zhuoying, Sun Yumin's respect for him comes from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that he has been a firefighter for so many years, just because he served as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Expeditionary Force soon after, leading more than 100,000 athletes to go abroad to fight, this pride is worthy of the respect of all soldiers.
"You do have to thank the commissioner and Chief Chen, but not verbally." Luo Zhuoying handed the teacup in his hand to Sun Yumin's hand, and then said: "Fighting a big victory in southwest Jiangxi and presenting the good news is far more tangible than any thanks. ”
"Chief Luo's teachings, Yumin remembers them." Sun Yumin is very respectful, this is not hypocritical, but from the heart.
"I knew that you would come over to ask for diesel, so Chief Chen and I had already prepared it for you, forty-three barrels of diesel fuel are enough for your tank to fight a big battle."
"Thank you, Chief Luo." Sun Yumin was very pleasantly surprised when he heard this, the Ninth War Zone has always been in a confrontation with devils, and there have been many wars in this year, and it is really rare to be able to squeeze out so many oil products.
"Yumin, you let Zhanshutang capture Gao'an City, do you have any ideas?" Luo Zhuoying suddenly turned his words to the battlefield.
"Gao'an City is not captured by our department, I just let Deputy Commander Zhan feint to attract the attention of the devil from the Yangtze River to Gao'an, so that my batch of weapons and equipment can arrive smoothly, but the Deputy Army of Zhan took Gao'an with only one artillery bombardment, in fact, it is not so much that it was captured, but that the devil took the initiative to give up." In front of Luo Zhuoying, Sun Yumin did not reserve it, and said it truthfully.
"Whether it is the devil who gave up on his own initiative or the attack of your department, Gao'an City is now firmly controlled, which is a huge threat to Nanchang City, which is more than a hundred kilometers away, and the devil will definitely not sit idly by." Luo Zhuoying returned to his place, sat down as he spoke, and finally asked again, "What are your next plans?" Any ideas? ”
"Chief Luo, I have some ideas, but my troops are in the process of training, although they have some 'treasures', they are still in the process of exploration, so ......"
"So you don't have any plans, do you?" Luo Zhuoying interrupted him, but he still had a smile on his face, and he was not angry at all because of the slight refusal to fight in Sun Yumin's words just now, he continued: "Since there is no battle plan, then why did you let the 81st Division set up a defensive position in Shanggao, and let the 139th Division set up an ambush position behind the 81st Division?" ”
Sun Yumin was a little embarrassed, he originally thought that Luo Zhuoying, as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy, would not pay too much attention to these small movements of the Twelfth Army, after all, there were still four armies to manage on his side, and there was also a star-studded seventy-fourth army.
