Chapter 63: The Harvest of the Bandits
On the afternoon of August 27, 1935, Christopher. James and his entourage went to Shanghai to wait for the arrival of the fleet, and secretly met with He Jianye and He Fuchu in Shanghai. During the meeting, it was confirmed that the recruitment method of the Chinese manager was determined by Andrew Brown, the project leader of Fuye Pharmaceutical. James recruited in Shanghai.
On the afternoon of August 30, 1935, the ocean-going fleet from the United States stopped off the coast of Shanghai. James and others arrived at the pier in a dinghy and Christopher. After James rendezvous, at the hotel, several people sat together for an in-depth exchange on how to build a steel mill and the subsequent establishment of a weapons production line, and after exchanging radio call signs, He Jianye and He Fuchu secretly returned to Qingjiang.
He Jianye, who returned home, in addition to practicing boxing He and accompanying his family, was basically communicating with his eldest brother about the follow-up trend, and the leisurely days at home came to September 3, 1935, He Jianye was disrupted by a telegram from Nanchang that originally planned to return to the Nanchang barracks on September 10, the telegram said: The third division was transferred by the Military and Political Department of the Nanjing National Government as the second batch of integrated teams, and the plan was to be reorganized according to the German armament division, and all personnel were required to go to the camp outside Nanjing for training and reorganization before September 25. On September 20, the 3rd Division assembled at the supplementary regiment camp in Nanchang and went together.
After He Jianye had lunch at home, he took Zeng Da all the way to Nanchang, and when he arrived at the military camp outside Nanchang in the evening, He Jianye inquired in detail about the completion of the task of more than 500 people released by Yang Xiaoshi in August. At present, there are quite a lot of wounded officers and soldiers sent back to the barracks, about 50 people, but they are all slightly injured; Arrangements have been made to escort the wounded soldiers to the hospital in Nanchang for treatment, and they should be able to return to the barracks in a few days.
"Use all methods to notify all the attacking squads, and all immediately return to the barracks to stand by." He Jianye said,
"But in a short period of time, I just gave as much notice as possible, and I'm afraid the notice will not be finished." Yang Xiaoshi said worriedly,
"As much as you can inform, how much you can inform. We still have a lot to deal with. By September 13th, they should all be back. He Jianye said,
Next, He Jianye carried out a preliminary accounting according to the material statistics of the He family in various fertilizer sales points, and the seizures generated by the extermination of bandits in this sortie were amazing, totaling more than 20 yuan in the ocean, more than 300 taels of gold, and grain accounted for a large proportion of all kinds of materials.
On September 13, 1935, with the return of the last strike squad to the barracks, although some of them still had bandages on their hands, He Jianye could smell a strong smell of blood from the breath they emanated. Arrange a cooking class to make food for everyone, arrange personnel to escort the wounded soldiers to Nanchang for treatment, and it was already night after finishing the work, and He Jianye, who had finished eating, returned to the barracks to rest after arranging the night sentry.
Early in the morning of September 14, 1935, He Jianye got up early in the morning, after practicing boxing in his own activities, he stood quietly on the playground and waited for the wake-up call to sound, as the cover of the night shrouded in the earth was slowly lifted, the morning light slowly revealed the charming glow, and the Nanchang military camp, which had been silent for 1 month, became lively with the number, He Jianye looked at the watch, nodded, and everyone could assemble and stand on time within 5 minutes from the wake-up horn to the completion of the assembly.
"Brothers, after this month's action, you have grown a lot, I see in your eyes the strength and hard work, maybe some brothers think it is enough, but I tell you, soldiers in the process of growing up is like the study of the country's youth, you are now just graduated from primary school, you are still far from being fully completed, you have not experienced the test of blood and fire on the North China front, there is no experience of desperate resistance under the endless artillery of the Japanese army; You will not know that you will only become a qualified soldier if you grow up in the most brutal environment; Of course, this process is also accompanied by death, at that time you can only watch your closest comrades die in front of you, and you can do nothing but kill the enemy, only after experiencing the double tempering of body and mind, you can be qualified. Speaking of this, He Jianye paused and continued, "According to the experience of attacking, everyone focuses on training shortcomings, which is organized by the leaders of each group. Start your morning workout. ”
After speaking, He Jianye began to observe the 400 people who were intact near the playground to carry out training, and the rest were still being treated in Nanchang Hospital because of their injuries. He Jianye nodded from time to time, thinking about when he would lead them to North China to see the real elite of the Japanese army. Otherwise, by the time the Songhu incident occurs, I am afraid that the 500 people who now think they are elite will suffer heavy losses.
After breakfast, in front of the playground, He Jianye stood and looked at the people below, and said loudly, "Brothers, you have worked hard for a month, and you haven't received military pay since you joined the army!" To be honest, I didn't receive it either, and today, I will give each of you 50 yuan from your seizure, but you can't get it now. Our Third Division will assemble in this camp in six days to prepare for the whole training in Nanjing, and we are no exception, and you will only have two days to train with the equipment in the camp today and tomorrow, and I hope you will train well, and on September 16, we will fill in the playground and reserve enough space to expand the barracks area in the surrounding area, and we will build enough barracks for a division to temporarily assemble and rest within three days. If you finish it fast enough and can complete it in two days, you will be given a day off, and you can go to Nanchang City to go around the city after receiving your military salary, or you can go to Nanchang City to ask someone to bring the ocean home. It's up to you to make it to this day. ”
"Now start training." He Jianye ordered,
"Battalion commander, the material inventory has been completed, please take a look at the battalion commander" Yang Xiaoshi came over to report and handed over the list of substances. He Jianye was almost not frightened when he saw it, "The ocean is more than 30 yuan, the gold is more than 500 taels, and the grain is not much, only 20,000 catties." The guns are in chaos, eighty percent of the new Hanyang made more than 100 seized, 50,000 bullets, the unusable Hanyang made about 200 piled up, the Czech light machine gun got two back, there are not many bullets, only about 200 rounds. There are also all kinds of guns such as water beads, singles, firecrackers, etc., and at the end of the list, He Jianye even saw the earthen cannon. Looking at the list of substances in his hand, He Jianye asked Yang Xiaoshi and Zeng Da, "Where are these things now?" Didn't you go back to the barracks! ”
"Everything except guns and ammunition is in the He family's warehouse in Nanchang." Yang Xiaoshi said,
"With so much to gain, are you sure they are all the most heinous and notorious bandits that have been exterminated? Didn't rob the house? He Jianye wondered,
"Battalion commander, I dare to guarantee that there is not, in fact, battalion commander, you don't know, those old bandits in a few years are much richer than the rich people, and a lot of things are copied from those big bandits." Yang Xiaoshi said,
"Leave the Czech-style and Hanyang-made in good condition, and the other guns include this earthen cannon! Pack them all, including bullets, and let Lin Lao Er find a secret and safe place to bury them. He Jianye confessed,
"Yes, battalion commander" Yang Xiaoshi ran to arrange.
