[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 171: Substitution (Ask for subscription!) ）

It was still the room where Xie Gangzhe had a meeting with Bao Changyi and others before, but now it has become a reception room for Ma Zheng, in addition to Ma Zheng and Xie Gangzhe, Bao Changyi is also accompanied.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Xie Gangzhe said straight to the point: "I don't know what happened to Master Ma's late night visit, you must know that you and I belong to the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and it is not appropriate to have a secret meeting late at night after all!" ”

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "Now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, everyone is a friendly army, there is no need to divide it so finely." In addition, our unit was also invited by the commission to go south this time, and it was to defend Wuhan. If there were really so many prejudices, our department would not go south this time! ”

Xie Gangzhe was silent for a while and said: "That being said, there are some things that we all know, and it is not appropriate to say it after all, and I also ask Master Ma to explain the intention, if it is within the scope of my Xie Gangzhe's ability, I will definitely help, of course, if my Xie Gangzhe's ability is limited, then I am really sorry!" ”

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "Commander Xie, don't worry, Ma Zheng is not here to ask for help from your ministry this time, you can rest assured, as I said to the chief of staff of your department, I am here to make a deal with Commander Xie!" ”

"What deal?" Xie Gangzhe immediately asked.

Ma Zheng glanced at Bao Changyi and said, "I don't know if this General Bao can be trusted, this matter is not only about the honor and disgrace of Commander Xie and my Ma Zheng, but also about the overall situation of the entire Wuhan battlefield!" ”

Xie Gangzhe immediately said: "Master Ma, please rest assured, Lao Bao is my Xie Gangzhe's right-hand man, and I Xie Gangzhe have been stirring horse spoons in the same pot for more than ten years, so I can naturally trust it!" ”

Bao Changyi got up and said, "Since Master Ma said so, then I will leave Lao Bao first!" ”

said that Bao Changyi was about to leave, but Xie Gangzhe hurriedly stopped. If Bao Changyi was allowed to leave at this time, it would really hurt the heart of this old subordinate.

Ma Zheng also immediately said: "Since Commander Xie said so, it means that he can trust General Bao, so please ask General Bao to stay and listen to it!" ”

After the three of them sat down again, Ma Zheng immediately said: "I know that your department is now short of weapons, ammunition and equipment, so my deal is to exchange the equipment of a regiment with Commander Xie for some people!" ”

"Weapon substitution?" Xie Gangzhe asked in surprise.

"Yes, the equipment of a regiment is exchanged for five hundred people!" Ma Zheng said.

"The person who wants to come to Master Ma to change is definitely not an ordinary person. Is that right? "Xie Gangzhe is not stupid, how can there be a pie in the sky, everything is abnormal, it is a demon.

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "This is natural, the three hundred people I want must have worked in the navy, preferably someone who can skillfully control a warship and can open fire!" ”

"Navy? I don't know what Commander Ma wants the Navy to do, as far as I know, you don't seem to have any warships over there, right? Even the north doesn't have a big inland lake? Xie Gangzhe asked puzzled.

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "That's the case, my people are mainly men living in the north, and riding horses and herding sheep is their forte, but because there are no large rivers in the north." There were also no decent lakes, so almost all the fighters could not swim. Now that the troops are in the south, they will face a Japanese attack from the water at any time, so I need a group of instructors who know how to swim and how to save their lives if they fall into the river. ”

Ma Zheng's reason was that he thought about it on the road, he had his own plan, but he couldn't tell Xie Gangzhe. If you can't keep it from saying it, it will be a bad thing, and if it reaches the ears of the Japanese, it won't be good.

Don't think it's impossible. You must know that the Japanese intelligence agencies are pervasive, and they can casually spread the things that were discussed at the Military Commission, let alone talk to each other.

"Then there's no need for soldiers who understand warships?" Xie Gangzhe asked again.

"In addition to asking them to teach my people how to swim, I still want them to teach my people how to control ships, and maybe we can capture a few little devil warships for fun!" Ma Zheng said half-truthfully.

"Is Division Commander Ma really willing to exchange the equipment of a regiment for my 500 naval officers and men?" Xie Gangzhe said.

"Well, but I can only pay for half of your weapons right now. I'll give you the rest when I'm done with this battle!" Ma Zheng said.

"I don't know what weapons Master Ma wants to exchange with us, but let's say okay, we don't use the old sleeve, at least it will be made in Hanyang within five years! In addition, there has to be half of the middle formal! Xie Gangzhe said.

Ma Zheng smiled and said: "We don't have the old sleeve, but Hanyang has it." But it's a pity that it wasn't brought! The rifles I brought with me were all Japanese-made weapons, the rifles were 38 caps, the light machine guns were crooked, the heavy machine guns were Type 92, and there were grenadiers and mortars. ”

"Is it really a Japanese-made weapon?" Xie Gangzhe asked in surprise.

"It's like a fake! When I went south this time, I happened to bring some more supplementary equipment, and I could first pay Commander Xie 500 38 big covers, 20 light and heavy machine guns, and two Type 92 infantry guns. Ma Zheng said.

Xie Gangzhe thought about it, these weapons were enough to arm the two reinforced battalions, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, deal!" But after saying that, I'll only give it to people, and the officers don't bring one! ”

"Yes!" Ma Zheng immediately nodded and said.

In fact, Ma Zheng was also thinking in his heart, if you give me an officer, I won't dare to ask for it! Who doesn't know that many officers of the National Government are protégés who look directly at the Son of Heaven, and they may not be willing to follow him Ma Zheng, a little **** to fight devils.

The transaction was very successful and smooth, in fact, this result had long been expected by Ma Zheng. Xie Gangzhe is known to Ma Zheng, who was born in the Northeast Army, studied in Japan, and was the chief of staff of the Northeast Navy's Combined Fleet. After the Northeast changed banners, he was appointed commander of the Third Fleet, but since the Xi'an Incident, the Northeast Army has been suppressed by the Nationalist Government, so Xie Gangzhe's life is not easy.

This is one of them, and the second is that Xie Gangzhe's navy has become an army, which is naturally not tolerated by the army, and it is inevitable that he will be transferred around as cannon fodder, and Bao Changyi is the best proof of this. Otherwise, they would not have appeared behind them, you must know that as long as the Duqi Division is defeated by the Japanese army, it will be their river defense troops on top, which shows that in the eyes of the Military Commission, their status is only a little stronger than that of the Duqi Division.

It is no wonder that Yu Jishi of the 74th Army dared to annex Bao Changyi's troops so blatantly, and even Xie Gangzhe, commander-in-chief of the Jiangfang Force, did not dare to say a word. What can you do if you don't have the strength and no background, it's not a self-inflicted humiliation. Therefore, Ma Zheng judged that Xie Gangzhe must be short of weapons and equipment now, and he urgently needs to replenish it, and he can not take the bait if he uses weapons and equipment as bait!

Besides, 500 people for the weapons of a regiment is a big advantage, how much is 500 people worth, and how much is the weapons and equipment of a regiment worth. And people can be recruited at any time, but in this deadly era, where to get weapons, even if you have money, no one will sell them to you.

Sure enough, Xie Gangzhe agreed without much thought, and when the time came, he directly reported to the higher-ups and said that the five hundred people died in battle. Anyway, there were wars every day in these years, and there were battles everywhere, and it was not a big deal to die a thousand children and 800 people. Even if the whole regiment and division were eaten, it was understandable, otherwise there would not be so many prisoners in the prisoner of war camp of the little devils.

Ma Zheng returned to the Baihua front line with his people, and at the same time Xie Gangzhe's guard company came, and when these people left, they escorted the weapons and equipment promised by Ma Zheng and left happily. In their opinion, the deal was really profitable, and it was worth it.

After Xie Gangzhe's guards left, Ma Zheng gathered all the five hundred people who had been exchanged, and then he wanted to reprimand them.

In an open space outside Baihua Town, five hundred soldiers with bare hands stood there quietly, each with a solemn expression on their faces. They were all temporarily assembled and ordered to follow Ma Zheng here, not knowing what they were going to do or what they were going to face.

Humans are always terrified of the unknown, and so are they, especially when they have no weapons in their hands, and everyone is even more overwhelmed. (To be continued.) )
