[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 266: Guess! (Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!) ）

Seeing that all the generals suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the conference room became a little sad, Ma Zheng said loudly: "Of course, casualties are not what any of us want to see. That night, I sat alone under the big locust tree outside the headquarters, and I always felt that the sacrificed soldiers would suddenly appear, supporting each other, playing and laughing. ”

"It's a pity that none of this happened, comrades, war is cruel, people will die in battle, people will be injured, the only thing we can do is to improve our command level through hard study and practice, and try to save the lives of soldiers on the premise of a big victory. As a commander, we have to think carefully before giving any order, knowing that one of our orders could be the difference between the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of soldiers. ”

Then, Ma Zheng continued: "But no matter what, this time we have won the battle, created a miracle, and also lifted the morale of the army and the people. In this battle, we played the prestige of the Eighth Route Army and the prestige of China's national defense forces. ”

After Ma Zheng said this, everyone's emotions were mobilized again, and the previous haze seemed to dissipate all at once.

"Commander, you just said that you captured dozens of tanks from the little devils, do you mean that we will also have our own ironclad car troops in the future?" Wu Xiuda asked loudly.

Ma Zheng smiled and said, "No! ”

"Why, what about the tanks?"

"Sold!" Ma Zheng said in surprise.

"Sold? Sold to whom? Wu Xiuda asked again.

"Of course, it was sold to the troops under Lao Jiang, including 20,000 rifles, hundreds of light and heavy machine guns, dozens of heavy artillery, and by the way, more than 40 combat vehicles!" Ma Zheng replied.

"Commander. Why sell it, many of our troops don't have weapons yet, if we get all these 20,000 guns back, won't all our troops have guns? Wu Xiuda immediately asked.

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "In fact, selling those weapons and equipment is also a last resort, mainly because the materials we have captured this time are too much, and the weapons and equipment captured from the Japanese warships alone are enough to arm two divisions." Coupled with the Japanese arsenals captured in Jiujiang, Hukou and Pengze, as well as the equipment obtained from cleaning the battlefield, even if it was armed with five divisions, it would be no problem. ”

"And the weapons and equipment sold are all weapons captured by the Japanese army of the Kuomintang troops, most of the weapons are old-fashioned things, the old sleeve and Hanyang make a large part, and the value of transporting back is not large, so I asked people to pick it up, pick out some good things that can be seen in it, and then sell all the broken copper and iron that can't be taken away. It's not that we don't want to bring it back, it's that there are just too many things to bring. I really can't bring them all back. ”

"Commander, aren't there still heavy artillery and tanks, those things are all good things, why are they sold?" Chen Xudong also asked.

Ma Zheng immediately said: "Heavy artillery and tanks are indeed very precious, but you have never seen the little devil's heavy artillery unit, so naturally you don't know what the devil's heavy artillery looks like!" A standard heavy artillery brigade of the Japanese army has two heavy artillery wings under it, including 30-40 heavy cannons of the Taisho 7th type 150mm caliber and 20 heavy cannons of the 90 type 240mm caliber. There are 10 Type 96 305mm caliber heavy howitzers, and some heavy artillery brigades are also equipped with 3-6 Type 98 320mm caliber mortars. ”

"Don't look at the total, it's only sixty or seventy guns. But the power is not small. More importantly, these heavy guns are heavier than one another, such as the 240mm heavy cannon of the 90 type, not to mention the weight of the gun itself, the weight of one shell alone has reached 185 kilograms, and it needs to be loaded with a special loading vehicle to load into the gun chamber. As for the larger caliber 320-mm mortar, the shell weight alone reached 300 kilograms, and the barrel weight was several tons. We simply can't get these huge guys back. What's more, even if it is transported back, such a backward infrastructure in the Suicha area is not suitable for heavy artillery marching at all, so it is better to sell it. ”

After listening to Ma Zheng's explanation, the generals were relieved when they thought about it, and they were also relieved when they thought about it. Wuhan is thousands of miles away from Suiyuan. Even if the enemy's heavy artillery and tanks were captured, it would be difficult to transport them back to Suiyuan.

"Commander, how much did you sell it for?" Now that the thing has been sold, everyone's attention suddenly shifts to the money.

Ma Zheng smiled and popped out two words: "Guess!" ”

Huang Bingyan, who was questioning, thought for a while and said, "So many weapons and equipment shouldn't be less than 500,000 oceans, right?" ”

"Five hundred thousand? In your eyes, so many weapons and equipment are worth such a small amount of money? Ma Zheng asked rhetorically.

"Hahaha, isn't this what we're used to living hard, I haven't seen a few oceans since I was a child, and 500,000 is already a lot in my thoughts!" Huang Bingyan replied.

"That's it, Commander, you hurry up, how much did it cost, and let us hear if this deal is worth it?" Chen Xudong also said with a smile.

Ma Zheng said with a smile: "Okay, I won't tease you, in fact, we have raised a total of more than 4 million oceans of military expenses by selling these weapons and equipment and realizing other things such as cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings." When I left, I turned three million of them into supplies, and only brought back one million oceans! ”

"Four million? Oh my god, how big does it have to be put together? Wu Xiuda said loudly.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, the money has been transported back to the base area, and then the logistics department will send someone to hand it over." Ma Zheng said.

"Well, I'll go and put the loot in person after the meeting!" Wang Hansen said.

Then, Ma Zheng continued: "There is another very important thing today, everyone knows that this time we went south to fight and collected a lot of troops, in addition to the troops captured by the Japanese army, Chairman Jiang also added two infantry regiments and an artillery regiment to our Seventh Division, including many senior officers at the rank of colonel. Wait a minute, I'll start with Head Li, and you all introduce yourself. ”

As soon as Ma Zheng's words fell, Li Hongming, the head of the supplementary regiment, got up and said: "Hello everyone, the current head of the supplementary regiment Li Hongming, the current commander of the supplementary regiment, was originally the commander of the 378th regiment of the Central Army, was wounded and captured during the Hukou Battle, and was imprisoned in the prisoner of war camp in Hukou City. ”

After Li Hongming sat down, Jiang Weihua, the commander of the Second Supplementary Regiment, got up and said: "Hello everyone, Jiang Weihua, the deputy commander of the 3rd Regiment of the 134th Division of the 20th Army of the Yuanchuan Army, was wounded and captured during the Battle of Pengze, and was later imprisoned in the Hukou prisoner of war camp. ”

After more than a dozen newly joined officers introduced themselves, Ma Zheng said again: "No matter what your identity was before, but when you come to us, you have only one identity - the Eighth Route Army!" And your task is to go to the battlefield to kill devils, you don't have to worry about any unfair treatment, you will know what kind of army our Duqi Division is in the future, in fact, all of you here, except for a few people, most of them have very ordinary backgrounds, and even some have been bandits. ”

"It doesn't matter if you fight devils with your heart, everything else is secondary, and when the sky falls, I will have Ma Zheng to support you. So don't have any psychological burden, just train the troops with peace of mind! ”

Then, Ma Zheng said loudly: "Let me convey the latest instructions from Yan'an: Ma and Yun: After discussion and decision by the Military Commission, the units in the Suicha anti-Japanese base area will be abolished from now on, and the Suicha Military Region will be established, and the 63rd Army of the National Revolutionary Army will be established according to the order of the national government, and it will be incorporated into the Suicha Military Region.
