The capture of the Battle of Shanghai was enormous.
If the occupation of Tianjin brought the funds and equipment level of the instructors of the Eighth Route Army to a new level, the capture of Shanghai continued this momentum.
In terms of finance, Japan's major banks in Shanghai include Yokohama Zhengjin Bank and Bank of Taiwan, and the rest are five smaller Japanese banks, including Industrial Bank, Choko, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Mitsui. Germany has Deutsch-Hua Bank in Shanghai. Wang's puppet regime has the Huaxing Commercial Bank in Shanghai and the new puppet Central Reserve Bank, which was established in January this year. These banks and their assets are now all under the control of the Eighth Route Army. Originally, Liu Yimin still thought that he would even connect the French bank in Shanghai, and think that General de Gaulle was still insisting on resisting, and he would not look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, so as to leave some room for meeting the French in the future.
In terms of weapons and ammunition, Shanghai was the base camp of the Shanghai Special Marine Corps of the Japanese Navy, and was once the headquarters of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, and is now the base camp of the 13 th Army, and it was also the main battlefield of the 128 Incident and the Battle of Songhu.
In terms of weaponry, tanks, armored vehicles, automobiles, motorcycles, mountain artillery, field artillery, rapid-fire guns, antiaircraft guns, antiaircraft machine guns, light and heavy machine guns, and rifles equipped by all divisions and regiments of the Japanese army are available here to ensure that the battle losses of the troops can be replenished at any time. Enough to equip three divisions.
This is an infantry weapon. This time they captured Shanghai, and seized nine large ocean-going cargo ships of about 5,000 tons from various Japanese-funded foreign companies. These large cargo ships are different from passenger and cargo ships from other countries. Because he often assisted the Japanese army in transporting troops. Cargo ships have been converted into landing ships, which can easily carry tanks, cars, etc. A total of eight large shipping ships used by the Japanese army for Shanghai to Wuhan, Shanghai to Guangzhou, Shanghai to Ningbo, Shanghai to Qingdao, Shanghai to Tianjin, Shanghai to Taiwan, Shanghai to Hainan, and Shanghai to Nagasaki were captured. More than two dozen small and medium-sized cargo ships used by the Japanese army for inland waterway shipping were captured. In addition, a number of patrol boats and motorboats used by the Japanese army for cruising and inspecting the waterways of the Yangtze River and the Huangpu River were captured, and several Japanese minelaying boats and minesweepers were captured at Wusongkou. The fly in the ointment was that because the Japanese Third Fleet stationed in Shanghai cooperated with the Far East Operation, the Southeast Coastal Operation, and the Second Battle of Changsha, the main ships were not in Shanghai. Otherwise, the results will be even greater.
That's it. Cai Zhong was very satisfied, saying that he didn't have to let the soldiers sit on the wooden raft when he went back. Above the sea. The wind was high and the waves were strong, and although the wooden platoons of the Eighth Route Army were all double-layered wooden platoons erected with steel plates, they couldn't help but turn the soldiers into water ghosts by the seawater.
The Eighth Route Army Air Force also made a fortune this time. Shanghai has Hongqiao Airport. There is also the Jiangwan airfield of the Japanese navy, which is equal to the army and navy aircraft. Where there are airplanes, there are accessories, there are aviation gasoline, aviation ammunition. Feng Dafei, who received an order to fly urgently from Dadian Zhujia Zhuangzi, did the same method as Li Lingfeng did when he attacked and occupied Xuzhou Airport, and overnight loaded aviation gasoline and aviation ammunition to fly back the Japanese fighters, bombers, reconnaissance planes, and training planes.
Ammunition. It includes rifles, machine gun bullets, artillery shells, poison gas bombs used by infantry, and all kinds of ship-running artillery shells and aerial bombs used by the navy and aviation. Not to mention other arsenals. The seven underground tunnels with a total length of 7,100 meters under the Jiangwan Pentagon Field alone stored enough ammunition for all units of the 13th Army of the Japanese Army to use for half a year. Therefore, when the troops count the ammunition captured, they do not count it by the number of shots, but by the number of boxes.
In terms of materials, the Yangtze River Delta itself is the richest place in China, and Shanghai is China's largest foreign trade port and inland river transportation port, with an urban population of 2.8 million, and the real money, silver, cotton, and rice looted by the Japanese army in China are basically stored here, not only supplying the 11th and 13th armies of the Japanese army in central China, but also often transferring grain to the North China Front. Like cotton, in addition to being shipped back to Japan to meet industrial production, the textile mills in Greater Shanghai are producing at full capacity every day, and many anti-Japanese troops wear straw shoes and military uniforms like flowers, but those oily and powdery guys in Greater Shanghai are brightly dressed, leather shoes are shiny, and they wear suits and silk, which is not beautiful! As for other supplies, such as military gasoline, diesel, steel, cloth, medicines, etc., there are many here. Because there are many capitalists in Shanghai and many foreign companies. The nature of capital is profit-seeking, and as long as they can make money, these capitalists and foreign central banks will not care who the business object is. As long as the Japanese army and the Wang puppet regime needed it, those foreign companies would try to get a commodity trade. During the Battle of Songhu, China moved many of its factories in Shanghai to Wuhan and later to Sichuan. The gap in market supply left by these enterprises has been filled by capitalists who are eager to make money to invest in factories.
Then again, the Japanese army controlled the waterways of the Yangtze River, the Huangpu River, and the Wusong River, and controlled the Shanghai Outer Sea, and it was impossible for the foreign companies to make money without dealing with the Japanese puppets. They are making contracts to do business, but for the anti-Japanese military and civilians, this is the standard of the enemy!
Fortunately, the United States imposed a complete embargo on Japan in July, otherwise, the US Government would not have been able to prevent those foreign giants from making a fortune by taking advantage of loopholes to restrict the export of strategic materials to Japan. When the Eighth Route Army captured Shanghai, a Japanese company confiscated 500 American trucks and 20 cars. These things were resold by American businessmen, and little Japan had no other way to obtain them. There is no way, the US government has imposed a total embargo on Japan, but not on the Shanghai Public Concession, and those foreign banks have a way to get the scarce materials that make a lot of money. I am afraid that only when the Japanese army attacks Pearl Harbor will the general managers of the foreign banks who want money and their lives know that they filled the gasoline in the tanks of the Japanese planes.
At the time of the national crisis, some people were bleeding and sacrificed, and some people were surviving under the bayonets of the Japanese army, but there was also a kind of people who were good at making money in the country and making a lot of money in the rumbling artillery of the Japanese army. This time, the Eighth Route Army attacked and occupied Shanghai. Just the confiscated assets of Wang's puppet traitors made Liu Yimin happy and couldn't close his mouth.
Wu Sibao, the captain of the 76th guard brigade, turned out to be a little hooligan who worked as a driver. The length of five large and three thick. Black and fat, black and fat, and it is difficult to walk with a big belly. married a wife named She Aizhen, but she was a foreign student with unusual beauty. Both of them became the disciples of Ji Yunqing, a big hooligan in Shanghai. In those years, gangsters needed guns in their fights, and guns needed to be repaired when they were broken. Wu Sibao has a fellow in Wuxi who runs an auto repair store and has a lathe. This era is not like many instrument lathe factories in later generations, because there is no market for bankruptcy and restructuring. The lathe is a sought-after commodity, with the lathe, everything can be built and repaired, Wu Sibao won Ji Yunqing's trust with this lathe of his fellow countrymen. Ji Yunqing's apprentices and grandchildren handed over the gun to the old man to find a way to repair it, and the old man Ji Yunqing's method was to hand it over to Wu Sibao for ideas. One comes and goes. Wu Sibao actually practiced a good marksmanship. Including his wife She Aizhen, she also shoots with both hands and hits every shot.
Li Shiqun is the No. 76 team that relied on Ji Yunqing's disciples and grandchildren.
After Wu Sibao became the captain of the seventy-sixth guard brigade, he became the most powerful killer under Li Shiqun. With the majesty of the seventy-sixth, bad things are done. This guy may have done too much bad things, and he doesn't believe in anything, he believes in money. If you go to the exchange to buy stocks, you can only make money and not lose money, once the stock falls sharply. Wu Sibao asked the agent of No. 76 to put a pistol against the trader's back, forcing them to shout the price. That's not all. Wu Sibao has shares in most of Shanghai's casinos, and those bosses are forced by his coercion and rely on his protection to obediently offer their rakes every month. The casinos couldn't make money to catch up with drug trafficking, and Wu Sibao controlled the white noodles in the Shanghai drug market, and he made a lot of profits. To what extent is this greedy for money? Another time he kidnapped a big boss in Shanghai and extorted a sum of money, and later saw that the boss had a lot of money, so he simply recognized him as his godson. This godson climbed up to Wu Sibao, thinking that he had a backer, so he wanted to grab business with his peers, and gave Wu Sibao a 23-carat big diamond. As a result, when I asked Wu Sibao how things were going, Wu Sibao actually said that he had forgotten it, and the diamond would not be returned.
It was this Wu Sibao, when the muzzles of the special combat members of the Eighth Route Army were pushed into his head, he was still shouting hoarsely to his wife She Aizhen to hurry up and run away with the key to the safe, as if his wife could run away. provoked the anger of the special combat members of the Eighth Route Army, and tied all his two families into zongzi.
There is also a Sheng Laosan, who is the nephew of Sheng Xuanhuai, the secretary of the Late Qing Dynasty Post and Propaganda Department, who defeated the red-topped businessman Hu Xueyan, and the large Sheng Wenyi. This guy monopolized the opium business in Shanghai, and all the opium transported by the Japanese army from Northeast China and Rehe was handed over to him for sale. In addition, he also monopolized the salt industry on the Yangtze River waterway. One white and one black, two financial roads, make more money than Sheng Xuanhuai made by repairing railways and engaging in postal services. This guy played a very high-sounding sign, saying that he wanted to use the money from the sale of opium to help the poor. The brand of his opium wholesale department is called Hongji Shantang, and outsiders don't know it, and they think it's a righteous village or something!
Traitors like Sheng Laosan and Wu Sibao are all traitors who are officials. There is also a class of folk traitors in Greater Shanghai, the most famous of which are Chen Binhe in the cultural world and Chen Botao in the industrial world. Chen Binhe didn't talk about it, he didn't have any money. Chen Botao made a fortune with the behind-the-scenes support of the Japanese naval intelligence agency Kodama and became the overlord of the hardware market in Shanghai. Even Zhang Lianfang, who was originally known as the king of hardware in Shanghai, became his doorman. At present, the legal tender of the national government is constantly depreciating, and the central reserve bonds issued by Wang Counterfeit cannot replace the status of the depreciating legal tender at present. Some people estimate that the war money made by Chen Botao and several of his minions in recent years should be tens of billions in fiat currency. This estimate has moisture, and the estimate is about turnover, and the actual profit is hundreds of millions of yuan.
The first target of the special operations brigade commanded by Li Lingfeng is the Japanese puppet spy organs, followed by these puppet traitors who have made war money. No, Wu Sibao, Sheng Laosan, Chen Botao, etc., all those who were on the list of the Eighth Route Army have been detained and their homes have been raided. Not to mention the money they deposited in Japanese-funded banks and Wang Pseudo Bank, it was naturally from the Eighth Route Army. The money they deposited in American banks, British banks, French banks, Australian, Dutch, Danish and other foreign banks could not escape, and the Eighth Route Army waited for these banks to open and bet the traitors to withdraw money! Including which antique calligraphy and paintings are stored in the bank safe.
In addition to these, there are also Longhua shipyards, automobile repair shops, textile factories, power plants, etc., not to mention private capital, not to mention British and American investment, there are 500,000 Japanese expatriates in Shanghai, most of these people are opening factories and doing business, plus those traitorous enterprises, it is equivalent to preparing an inexhaustible material warehouse for the Eighth Route Army.
With such a large seizure, Rao is Liu Yimin is traverser, his vision is extremely wide and high, and he also has a feeling of drilling into Baoshan. Greater Shanghai is much more developed than Tianjin and Qingdao. Jinan, Taiyuan, compared with Shanghai, it is too far behind.
That night, the 1st Column and the Cavalry Column were annihilating the Japanese puppet army, and the Special Operations Command was smashing the Japanese puppet intelligence spy agencies and arresting the famous traitors in Shanghai. After completing the task, the 1st Column, Mounted Column, and Special Operations Command turned to the seizure of Japanese puppet enterprises, businesses, and banks, and the transfer of assets, equipment, and materials. The organized pickets of the 16th Shop dock workers helped the Eighth Route Army organize a fleet and mobilized stevedores to load the ships, and the first fleet had left Shanghai and sailed to Rizhao Port in Shandong. There, Luo Ronghuan and others are looking forward to it!
Liu Yimin planned to open a warehouse in Shanghai during the day to release grain, and distribute the unfinished rice and the seized Central Reserve Notes from Wang's Fake Bank to the workers and poor people in Shanghai. Then Shanghai mobilized to organize the industrial workers in Shanghai and form a dismantling team and transportation team to assist the Eighth Route Army in transporting materials. It took a day and a night to move the fake assets of Shanghai to a clean place, so that Nishio Shouzao and Wang Jingwei were poor as pants.
The North China Front had been tossed into a poor ghost by the Eighth Route Army, and most of its supplies relied on the northeast, central China, and the Japanese mainland. Liu Yimin thought, this time to empty Shanghai's Japanese pseudo assets, and then go to the Northeast to recover the Northeast, it is tantamount to cutting off the economic lifeline of the little devil. No matter how cruel the little devil is, if he has no money, he will become a poor egg, and he will not be able to support it for long.
Originally, Liu Yimin even wanted to move all the private capital enterprises in Shanghai, like in Taiyuan, Tianjin, and Qingdao, but he couldn't bear to look at Shanghai, and at the same time, he didn't have the time or capacity. Even if the steamers of the Anglo-American, French-foreign companies in the Public Concession were requisitioned. Shanghai is too big to move. I can only carry Japanese assets and materials.
There is no perfect thing in the world, so leave some regrets!
