Chapter 32: Growing Wings
There will be a shift on weekends and a shift in the evening.
He Laifu led the team to retreat straight to Jintan, and along the way, the receiving team arranged by Liu Chenghai constantly transported food and ammunition by truck, pulled away the wounded, and sprinkled a large number of materials ---- baggage mines behind, and of course, all kinds of mines, grenades, and grenades. The baggage mine is to wrap the grenades with wooden handles, small explosive bags and rags into a baggage, tie the fire rope of the grenade to the baggage buckle, and pull the grenade as soon as the burden is untied, detonate the small explosive package, and some grenades and small explosive bags are placed in boxes, cabinets and jars. This greatly delayed the pursuit speed of the devil, and relieved He Laifu of a lot of burden, and smoothly passed through the golden altar and entered Maoshan Mountain. Jintan has long been guarded by a battalion of Liu Chenghai.
In Maoshan, Zhao Dahu and Liu Chenghai entertained He Laifu's tired master with Jintan's specialty sealed jar wine and Japanese canned food.
He Laifu was very affectionate to Liu Chenghai: "Brother Liu, it's interesting enough!" I still remember that the brother fought hard in the front, and the captured dry goods knew to leave a copy for the brother! ”
Liu Chenghai didn't like it when he heard it: "Brother He, my brother is also fighting, but I borrowed your light and fished out some more things!" ”
"What's going on?" He Laifu came to the spirit when he heard "fishing for things".
"I don't know, even Qi Yuankai didn't have time to count it! I just fished out some canned food, blankets, coats, etc.! ”
"Not really! You don't have any gear? ”
"I really fished out a few Type 92 infantry guns, and they were collected by Boss Zhao again!"
"I'm waiting for it here! As soon as you leave, Maoshan will sing an empty city plan! "Zhao Dahu is also truthful." When you come back, I'll be sure, if it weren't for these 3,000 remnants, I wouldn't hang myself when the devil comes! Those people also had to be raised for at least three days before they could get up. ”
"Where did you get the 3,000 remnants?" He Laifu was stunned again.
"The prisoners of war rescued from Danyang and Jintan have all been tortured into skeletons by devils!" Liu Chenghai's eyes were on fire when he mentioned this.
"Well deserved! Who will make them surrender their guns? He Laifu said hatefully.
"You fart! You don't have the command of the commander, let the devils try it with machine guns and bayonets! Yoo Seung-hae was furious when his scars were revealed.
He Laifu then remembered that Liu Chenghai had also been captured by devils, and he was at a loss for a while, and he didn't know what to say.
Yoo Seunghae's tears flowed, and he even cried.
He Laifu also cried, he hugged Liu Chenghai: "Brother, my brother is wrong, I have wronged you, and I have wronged these suffering brothers!" ”
"These escaped officials should all be shot!" Zhao Dahu on the side said viciously.
The devils finally did not attack Maoshan again, and even Jintan was not recovered, and they also withdrew from the garrison from Yixing to Liyang. Because the Battle of Xuzhou was tight, the Wu Mu army escaped a catastrophe. The devils reluctantly deployed garrison troops on the front line of Jurong, Danyang, and Changzhou, dug trenches and built bunkers, intending to protect the transportation line from Nanjing to Shanghai. Wu Mujun also temporarily suspended its activities due to a breach in the defense.
In the first battle of Danyang, Wu Mu's army captured a lot: a large number of cars, carriages, food, ammunition, clothing, medicines, equipment, gold and silver antiques, steel and wood, and some small industrial equipment, especially a large number of steel materials such as railroad tracks; More than 3,000 prisoners of war were also rescued.
In the West Mountains, the rescued POWs sat on a gentle hillside. Zhao Dahu was shouting loudly: "Brothers, you have come back from the devil's bayonet, you are people who have died once, what do you think in the future, speak out and listen!" ”
"Report sir, I want to go home!" "Report sir, I'm going to fight you devils!" "Report to the chief, I want revenge!" "Report to the sir, I want to go back to the army!" "Chief Reporter"
"Okay, who said why you want to fight devils?"
"Report to the chief, let's go home or be slaves of the country, it's better to fight with the devil!"
"Yes, I'm angry with the devil, I want to get it back!"
"Little devils are not people, only by killing them can they live a solid life!"
Finally, it converges into a sentence "Kill the devil!" Kill the devil! Kill the devil! ”
"Okay, it's all gentlemen, whoever wants to go with me and go to the left to line up, who wants to go back to the old army and go to the right to line up! Whoever wants to go home, go to the back to collect the fare. ”
In the end, a large number of people remained on the hillside.
"What's going on with you guys?"
"Report sir, we are ordinary people, we have never been soldiers, do you want us?"
"Report to the left!"
"Sir, where are our old troops?"
"I don't know, go to the right side and line up first."
"Sir, we're old, and we're disabled, do you still want us?"
"You organize these people and arrange them to the wounded team."
After a period of chaos, the wounded soldiers team led away some of the old and weak soldiers, and Zhao Dahu took in more than 1,400 recruits; More than 1,000 people from various units who wanted to return to the old army also began training, and then weapons and ammunition were distributed. After a few days, most of the people who returned to their hometowns came back again, and it turned out that there were devils everywhere around Xishan, and these people could not return to their homes.
After a few more days, the officers who wanted to go back to the old army also came to Zhao Dahu, and they saw that Wu Mujun was well equipped and treated, and they didn't want to leave.
In this way, Zhao Dahu discussed with Tuesday Dog to form the second supplementary brigade. According to the source of the original troops, it is divided into: Northwest Team, Northeast Team, Guangdong Team, Sichuan Team, Hunan Team, and Shaanxi Team.
Qi Yuankai has been busy for a while: many materials have to be classified and stored, and warehouses have to be built: cigarette factories have to purchase tobacco raw materials; Arsenals are to be built, and some have already been put into trial production; The caravan is to be enlarged; Materials to be purchased; All kinds of professionals had to be mobilized, not only Qi Yuankai, but also a few Shu Jintang, Tong Hai and others who had drunk foreign ink, Wu Zhengtang of the Repair Institute, Zhou Dagou of the special task force and others were also transferred by his envoys! In the end, even Tuesday dogs were pulled into the water!
Tuesday Dog is really uneasy life: the affairs of the army are presided over by Zhao Dahu, and on Tuesday Dog just saved a lot of heart, Qi Yuankai came to the door again.
The classification of materials and the arrangement of warehouses have been properly arranged with the help of Qiao Xingzhu and Lu Yuxi.
The cigarette factory has been successfully opened, but there is less local tobacco, and the cigarettes produced are only enough to supply the army and bribe the devils. The cigarettes given to the devils were to be added to a large amount of opium, which was taken from the Wumu gang treasury, as well as the inventory from the looting of the devils' materials. Cigarettes were "gifted" by Mao Ziqing, and almost all the devils around him became big smokers, and Wu Mujun was unimpeded in the surroundings, and he also exchanged chickens, ducks, wine and meat, and devils for soap, flashlights, batteries, military blankets, coats and other materials, and started "trade" with devils.
The number of ducks, rabbits, pigs, dogs, sheep, cows, horses, and donkeys raised on the farms of wounded soldiers has also increased substantially, and duck eggs and rabbit meat have begun to be supplied to the troops in small quantities.
Under the auspices of Mr. Wang and Lou Sanchun, a traditional Chinese medicine factory was also put into operation. It produced a large number of sweat medicines, five drums and chickens to break the soul, painkillers made from tobacco clay, and a small amount of other commonly used Chinese patent medicines. is preparing to put into production hemostatic drugs and first aid kits, and Ma Qinghan has been promoted to the president of Ziwei Hospital.
There is a special person in charge of these, and these don't need to be Tuesday's heart, Qi Yuanfeng can coordinate. It's just that the special team is exhausted by the procurement task, and they can buy it, and if they can't buy it, they have to grab it.
The most difficult thing to do is the arsenal: Shu Qingtang is studying machinery manufacturing, Liu Fuxing is studying chemical engineering, Mao Ziqing is studying textiles, and they are removed from the position of Japanese teachers, and let the devil captives go to be Japanese teachers, just to let them play their expertise, but although there is equipment, there is no power and raw materials, and there is a big shortage of skilled workers, and the three light pole commanders can only take Zheng Qiguang, Wu Zhengtang, Gu Qizhang and others to teach the blacksmiths to build some simple equipment such as sapper shovels and sapper pickaxes, or repair damaged firearms.
So, on Tuesday, the dog invited Zhao Dahu, Shi Jilun and others to the army, and asked them to select skilled personnel in the army: those who can repair, those who can strike iron, carpenters, leather workers, masons, those who can weave cloth, those who can weave baskets, and even those who can blow candy, and those who can do business.
Regarding the varieties of production in the arsenal, Tuesday Dog listed a series of things: with a large amount of steel as the backing, it is possible to produce sapper pickaxes, sapper shovels, and stamping some steel helmets; transform grenades into smoke bombs and stun bombs; The steel pipe was made into a blasting cylinder; There are also abundant cuttlefish in the coastal area, and the squid bone is called sea clam in traditional Chinese medicine, which is a good medicine for hemostasis and can be made into a hemostatic bandage; There should also be clothing factories and equipment factories, and as for guns, ammunition, etc., we will talk about it later
Then there is the problem of the transportation of materials: Liu Maoer, Zhou Dagou and others worked hard to get the urgently needed materials from the enemy-occupied areas were intercepted by the devils along the way many times, although most of them were snatched back by unscrupulous means, but there were many casualties; No, we still have to "have a good relationship" with the Japanese army, and we will arrange for the special team and Mao Ziqing to do it!
The caravan organized by Mao Ziqing began to operate. With the cooperation of the special forces, they bribed the devils on a large scale. First real money, oceans, gold bars, then cigarettes, sauce meat. In two months, thousands of Japanese smokers have been trained on various important routes in the West Mountain. Ho ho, if cigarettes and sauce meat are not added with opium, it will not be a tribute to the Japanese! Although opium is very expensive, for the sake of "Sino-Japanese goodwill", Tuesday Dog is willing to pay for it. In order to ensure the supply of opium to the Imperial Army, Tuesday Dog also arranged for Zhou Dagou's subordinates who had been involved in the Shanghai Tobacco House to sneak back to the Shanghai Tobacco House, and from time to time looted the Japanese tobacco houses opened in order to raise military expenses, and selflessly dedicated the enjoyment of Chinese smokers to the Imperial Japanese Army, which was grateful to Dade and turned a blind eye to Tuesday Dog's caravan.
Zhou Dagou also started sex in Shanghai, and transferred a group of thugs from the mixed dock to reoccupy the handling business of the wharf. The gangsters on the docks couldn't afford to mess with this group of people, who were backed up by shell guns and gave the original head some oceans as compensation. Since Zhou Dagou's men occupied the wharf to move, the loss rate of the Japanese goods has increased greatly, but most of them were robbed after leaving the wharf, and only a few of the materials urgently needed by Xishan will accidentally fall into the water, but they can no longer be fished, so they have to "compensate" the owner of some oceans.
Recently, Mao Ziqing has had good luck again. In a Shanghai newspaper, Mao Ziqing saw that a goodwill business delegation from Greater East Asia from Japan had arrived in Shanghai, and the photo showed Mao Ziqing's Japanese classmate Matsubun Bol when he was studying abroad. Of course, Mao Ziqing would not miss this opportunity, and immediately took a pair of Hetian jade bracelets picked out from the seized loot and a large piece of Hetian mutton fat jade seeds to visit this valuable old classmate.
When Mao Ziqing walked out of the Golden Bell Hotel where Matsubun Bol was staying, he was already the vice president of Donga Yanagawa Co., Ltd. and the general representative of Shina Commerce, and he also found a big tree that was better to enjoy the shade----- Okamura Ningji, Matsubun Bol's distant uncle. In fact, Matsubun Bol is the illegitimate son of this seemingly orthodox and sanctimonious Okamura Ninji. From then on, Mao Ziqing could easily get a pass for the staff headquarters of the Japanese Central China Front in the name of vice president of the East Asia Yanagawa Co., Ltd. Of course, he also became a popular traitor in the Shanghai area, he helped Songwen to transport Chinese timber, silk, sugar and other materials back to Japan, and also helped Wu Mujun get a lot of materials: machinery and equipment, all kinds of steel, chemical raw materials, Songwen Bor, the son of an Osaka merchant, doesn't care about jihad or not, he does whatever he makes money, and doing so little will not affect the holy war much!
Just when everything was going well for Mao Ziqing in Shanghai, Tuesday Dog in Xishan was facing a crisis that was enough to make Wu Mujun's smoke disappear. This crisis did not originate from the Japanese army, but from within the Chinese.
