Chapter XXXII Replenishment of Arms and Ammunition

In the barracks of the 16th Regiment, the more than 5,000 soldiers of the 16th Regiment were eating with large pieces of meat and bowls of multigrain rice, and Hu Yunshan and Zhou Qingxiang were eating and chatting in the regiment headquarters, accompanied by He Jianye and Deputy Commander Xia.

"Brigade commander, you see that my personnel have also been replenished, and the training will start tomorrow, when will I replenish my weapons!" This gun and ammunition are lacking! He Jianye asked,

"Let me tell you the truth! Now it is also difficult to replenish the Military Commission, the weapons of your regiment will arrive in these two days, but it is not too much, I have the list, if you are interested, you can go to the brigade headquarters tomorrow to see the list; Hu Yunshan said,

"Ahh Brigade commander, why are you still withholding ammunition? How can we fight devils! He Jianye complained,

"It's not that you're being deducted, the Central Army is pretty good, and there are still supplements, but other local armies haven't replenished! According to the standard of 2000 people to you to replenish. You know that, too! Our weapons are basically imported, and it is difficult to replenish them! Hu Yunshan said,

"Brigade commander, can I buy it myself?" He Jianye said,

"Hehe, where do you buy it from? Now the port is blocked by the Japanese, and I can't get in! Hu Yunshan said,

"Without further ado, let's continue to eat meat. Don't waste it! He Jianye said,

At 10 o'clock in the evening, He Jianye sent away the brigade commander Hu Yunshan and Zhou Qingxiang, returned to the regiment headquarters, and said to Leng Qi,

"Legasaki, go back and rest! I'm on duty at the regimental headquarters tonight! ”

"Commander, you've been so tired lately, you'd better take a good rest! I'll just be on duty! Lenzaki said,

"It's okay, just go and rest if you are told, we won't be relaxed for a few days! There's still a lot to be done in the future! Just go! He Jianye said stubbornly,

"Alright, Commander, I'll go. Something to call me! After Leng Qi finished speaking, he walked out of the regiment headquarters,

"Yang Xiaoshi, Zeng Da, let's go, let's go to the telegraph room together!" He Jianye said,

He Jianye said to the radio operator, "Go back and rest, I will be on duty tonight, and Company Commander Yang will receive and receive telegrams." ”

"Yes, Captain." The telegraph operator took off his headphones and walked out of the telegraph room!

"Zeng Da, arrange your old brother to guard the regimental headquarters within a radius of 50 meters, and no one is allowed to approach!" He Jianye commanded,

"Yes, Captain!" Zeng strode away to arrange the sentry,

"Yang Xiaoshi, send a telegram to your family, and ask Geling about Geling's current penicillin hoarding and the production of guns and ammunition!" He Jianye commanded,

"Yes" Yang Xiaoshi sat down and began to change the channel and wavelength, and began to generate electricity to Qingjiang.......

Qingjiang, He Mansion Mansion, since He Jianye followed the Third Division to the north to resist the Japanese, He Lin has prayed with his ancestors in the ancestral hall every day, hoping to bless He Jianye to come over safely.......

"Ding, ding, ding......" The bell in the study was ringing.......

After a busy day, He Fuchu, who had just finished washing, was ready to sleep, and someone came to tell him that the study bell was ringing! What does the bell mean when it suddenly rings, He Fuchu rushed into the study quickly, locked the door, and entered the basement.......

"Young Master, a telegram from Shanghai. Look! "The telegraph operator handed over a telegram;

"Big brother, see the words; Are all well with my mother and family? I hope to inform Ge Ling's situation! Brother: Jing Zhong. ”

"Call back, everything is fine at home, at present, Geling penicillin has a hoarding of 500,000 sticks, all of which are 100,000 units, and 200,000 units are still being transported to China, don't read it! In addition: the production of weapons and ammunition has now entered full production, the 75-mm field gun and the 88-mm high-level dual-purpose gun cannot be produced at present, and American engineers are improving steelmaking technology; It has been 20 days since the PAK37 combat defense gun entered full production; Guns and ammunition are well stored! ”

"The eldest young master, the second young master's callback!" The telegraph operator handed over a telegram in his busyness,

"Big brother, our army has suffered heavy losses, and my 16th Regiment is facing the embarrassment of lack of guns and ammunition, so I want to transport a batch of ammunition to Shanghai; Brother is looking forward to begging! ”

He Fuchu put down the telegram and let out a long breath, "As long as the people are fine, it's just that although Geling has a lot of ammunition, if the relationship with He Jianye is not exposed, it can't be transported to Shanghai to bypass the Nationalist Government!" What to do? He Fuchu was thinking,

"Big young master? Do you want to call back? The telegraph operator asked,

"Oh! Call back first and ask for the specific quantity! He Fuchu said,

"Didi, Didi, Didi......." In the annoying radio waves, He Fuchu was thinking about how to send guns and ammunition to his second brother......

"The eldest young master, the second young master's callback!" The telegraph operator handed over a telegram.....

He Fuchu unfolded the telegram, which listed in detail the detailed requirements for each type of firearm and ammunition;

"2,000 Mauser C96 pistols, each with 200 rounds of ammunition; 5,000 Mauser rifles of the 1924 type, each with 1,000 rounds of ammunition; 100 ZB-26 light machine guns, each with 5,000 rounds of ammunition; 96 82mm mortars, each equipped with 500 shells; 6 PAK37 anti-aircraft guns, each equipped with 200 rounds of armor-piercing shells. ”

"Forward the original text of this telegram to Ge Ling, and ask them to prepare it and transport it to the warehouse at Nanchang Railway Station before 12 noon tomorrow." He Fuchu commanded,

"Yes, young master!" After the telegraph operator finished speaking, he concentrated on sending the telegram.....

He Fuchu was thinking about things, thinking about how to ask the government for two train cars to transport supplies to Shanghai, and now that the Songhu War broke out, without the approval of the government, every wagon to Shanghai was controlled to transport troops and supplies......

"To generate electricity for Geling, James was asked to contact the national government, and he said that Fuye Pharmaceutical donated 50,000 sticks of penicillin to the government; support for the war of resistance; However, the condition was that two train cars had to be deployed from Nanchang to transport supplies to Shanghai South Railway Station; If it arrives by November 6, an additional 10,000 pieces of penicillin can be donated. However, the government must not interfere with the quantity and type of materials delivered, otherwise the donation will be cancelled! He Fuchu commanded,

"Yes, young master!" The telegraph operator got busy again.......

At 8 o'clock in the morning of November 4, 1937, the Executive Yuan of the Nationalist Government received a telegram from Fuye Pharmaceutical, saying that it was willing to support the anti-Japanese war drugs of the national government, on the condition that it ......

Wang Jingwei, the premier of the Executive Yuan, took the telegram and said to the Minister of Communications: "Immediately dispatch two train cars in Nanchang for backup!" I will go to see the chairman of the committee first, without the support of the chairman, no one dares to guarantee safety at this time! ”

"Bang, bang, bang" Wang Jingwei knocked on the door of Jiang Zhongzheng's office,

"Come in," Jiang Zhongzheng said,

"Oh! It's Ji Xin! Sit, just call the secretary over if there's something! Then you ran over in person! Jiang Zhongzheng said politely to Wang Jingwei,

"Chairman, this is a big deal! Look at this telegram! Wang Jingwei handed the telegram he received from Fuye Pharmaceutical to Jiang Zhongzheng,

After a few minutes, Jiang Zhongzheng finished reading the telegram and said with a smile, "What is this Fuye Pharmaceutical doing?" Now I want two carriages, I don't know how scarce the capacity of the Anti-Japanese War is? ”

"Yes, but penicillin is even more scarce! 50,000 penicillins! How many lives can be saved by our soldiers! This is a medicine with a higher price than gold! Dao: Now we haven't bought it in our country! Wang Jingwei said,

"Well, but Ji Xin, you're wrong, it's not 50,000, it's 60,000! You arrange the train wagons right away! Make sure to arrive at Shanghai South Railway Station before the 6th, as for the safety issue, I will arrange. Jiang Zhongzheng said,

"Yes, take a seat. Then I'll arrange it! "Wang Jingwei went out......
