Chapter 47: The Return

After a few battles, Li Guang became very patient. It was not until two days after leaving the battlefield that he began to reply to the telegrams he received one by one. said that he had already revealed the weapon of active sonar, and I don't know if the little devil is equipped with radar. In order to maintain radio silence, the Pixiu has not been in contact with the outside world for several days.

The first thing that needs to be dealt with is that Zheng Xuechang successfully arrived in Guangxi, but this time the situation is a little special, the navy and Du Yuesheng did not buy scrap steel. It's not that he doesn't want to do this business, but he was eaten by Li Zongren with all his might. The first boss of the Gui family made a really extraordinary move, not only blocking the pressure of the two sides, but also blocking the reach of the higher-ups.

Now that the deal has been negotiated, Li Zongren will pay 1 million oceans in cash, and the rest will be paid for with tungsten sand. And not only that, this time Li Zongren actually gave Li Guang 4,000 tons of tungsten sand, worth 2 million oceans. In other words, Zheng Xuechang sent two ships of scrap steel to Guangxi this time, and not only got 1 million oceans, but also tungsten sand worth 4 million oceans.

Li Guang never knew that there was tungsten sand in Guangxi. He has always believed that only Jiangxi has tungsten sand.

According to Zheng Xuechang's investigation, it turned out that the Gui Department made a large number of mortar shells after getting thousands of tons of scrap steel last time. At present, the main forces of the Gui system are fighting in the Fifth Theater of Operations, located in the Dabie Mountains and Tongbai Mountains, and the mortars are very suitable for mountain operations. Relying on 2,000 tons of steel, the Katsura system is not only self-sufficient in mortar shells, but also able to sell to friendly forces. At present, the Gui mortars on the domestic battlefield have become well-known, which has greatly enhanced the combat effectiveness of the Chinese army.

And Li Zongren made such a large amount of credit just in the hope that Li Guang could buy explosives for the Gui family. Now that the navy has begun to blockade China's coast, although it has not yet attacked Guangxi, it will not be too long. Li Zongren did not say the price of the explosives at all, and expressed his belief in Li Guang, that is, the price followed Li Guang.

Li Guang admires this famous general in history very much, a big man is a big man, a real big man, and he is so relieved of Li Guang.

Not only that, Li Zongren said that he would do his best to undertake the application of the Naval Resistance Army for the number of political axes, and he believed that there would be a reply from the Military Command Department soon.

After Zheng Xuechang expressed his concern about guano transportation, Huang Shaohong, the third giant of the Gui family, made a decision. It is only necessary for Li Guang to transport the guano to the port of Haiphong in Vietnam, and the short transportation will be solved by Guangxi. Now Huang Shaohong has seen the fruits of guano. Originally, Li Guang thought that one ton of guano could increase the yield of grain by two tons a year, but in fact, after nearly a year of use, one ton of guano was enough to increase the yield of three tons of rice.

How much is a ton of guano? Less than four dollars, and a ton of rice is now twenty oceans in China, that is, ten dollars. This business does not seem to be profitable, but in fact it has a huge impact on Guangxi's private economy.

Huang Shaohong's method immediately solved Li Guang's worries, you must know that in 38 years, the guano business group only transported 500,000 tons of guano to Guangxi. But with the expansion of the fleet, it has now reached the level of being able to transport 200,000 tons per month.

As long as Ben did not dare to occupy French Indochina for the time being, then the business of the guano business group could continue. Li Guang remembered that it was only after Germany defeated France that he began to occupy Indochina. That is, after the mid-40s.

Li Guang's memory is not very clear, if the guano business can really continue for more than a year, at least three million tons can be transported. These 3 million tons of guano can supply at least four provinces, Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Hunan, and can ensure that grain production will increase by 10 million tons per year within three years. That's a huge amount, with 10 million tons of rice enough to feed at least 40 million people.

This is the real contribution to the country, with abundant food, then a few years later, the Central Plains famine may be alleviated a lot. Li Guang had already come up with the idea of finding a way to guide the victims of the disaster in the Central Plains to the south.

The second thing is that Li Guang has a headache. Fellow villager Xu Zhan brought nearly a thousand old, weak, sick and disabled people to defect. Originally, Li Guang was not very worried about the resettlement of these personnel, and even hoped for more. But a key problem is that Xu Zhan really stretched out his hand and didn't know how to blush.

Xu Zhan wants to stay in the country, and he wants to continue to go to the battlefield.

If that's all, Xu Zhan also asked Li Guang to support some weapons and personnel.

Li Guang was speechless when he saw Xu Zhan's request. At the beginning, Li Guang was the first to accept this follower in the United States. As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, Xu Zhan threw Li Guang aside and went home to organize volunteers to participate in the Anti-Japanese War.

In the end, in order to settle his family, Xu Zhan entrusted such a large number of people to Li Guang. They are all Chinese, and Li Guangneng works a lot, and it is natural to accept these old and weak. But Xu Zhan actually wanted to borrow someone to borrow a gun.

The Navy and the Marine Corps have a total of only 600 people, and their strength is still far behind. For example, if Li Guang wants to organize another submarine, it will be difficult to put together the personnel.

However, Zheng Xuechang's telegram to Li Guang was full of intercession for Xu Zhan. Li Guang knew that the conditions of the Anti-Japanese War in China were difficult, but he did not know that it was so difficult that it could not be described.

According to Xu Zhan's description, many units in the Chinese army could not even handle a rifle per man. And Hu Zongnan, whom he once followed, can be regarded as Chairman Jiang's descendant troops, although the guns are neat, but the brothers only have ten bullets and two grenades on the battlefield. And the logistics supply is even more lacking, it is difficult to imagine that these hot-blooded men can only eat two meals a day, one dry meal and one porridge, and many times they go to the battlefield hungry.

The wounded soldiers had little medical treatment, and Xu Zhan's brothers had been injured many times without medical treatment, and died of pain.

Xu Zhan also went to a military academy, but the troops were seriously lacking in firepower, and the brothers almost relied on flesh and blood to fight against the devils. The huge gap in weapons and equipment caused heavy casualties among the Chinese soldiers on the battlefield, and it was not uncommon for the casualties to be 10 to 1 between the enemy and the enemy.

On the other hand, the Chinese army is seriously undertrained. Recruits who went into battle with barely a few bullets abounded, and heavy casualties in such troops were almost inevitable.

Xu Zhan didn't know that going to sea could also contribute to the country's war of resistance, but his conscience told him not to leave the country, and he couldn't leave behind his fallen brothers.

Li Guang had the impression that although Xu Zhan was a little impulsive, he was definitely not a person who didn't know what to do. This time, he must have made such a request, which must have been a helpless move.

After careful consideration, Li Guang decided to agree to Xu Zhan's request. As a result, a small supernumerary guerrilla detachment of the Maritime Resistance Army was formed. Zheng Xuechang's fleet consisted of 80 people on the pickup truck and 70 or 80 people escorting merchant ships. After planning, Li Guang provided Xu Zhan with thirty-six soldiers and thirty-six guns. Four heavy machine guns. And some medicines and ammunition were allocated.

Worried that this little fellow would not have enough firepower, he specially got four mortars and a batch of shells from the Gui department. In the end, he also gave Xu Zhan a thousand oceans as military expenses.

Li Guang put forward a request for Xu Zhan to develop along the coast as much as possible, whether it is northern, central, or southern China. As long as it is coastal, if there is any crisis, the Pixiu can also take risks to support.

In this way, Xu Zhan took thirty-six brothers, a copy of "Mencius" and a radio station, and re-embarked on the road of resistance.

For money and arms, Li Guang can still be generous, but these more than 30 soldiers, Li Guang is very distressed. You must know that after a year of training, these soldiers have spent a lot of ammunition and military spending, and now they dare not say that their quality exceeds that of the most elite old German armor division of the Chinese army, and they are already considered middle to upper in the evaluation of Su Qing, the company commander of the genuine German armor division.

It is absolutely not easy to train a unit, and although the Marine Corps did not participate in any battles, Li Guang spent a lot of effort.

The third thing made Li Guang a little overwhelmed. Su Qing and Su Zizi's parents are coming to Uruguay. The future Taishan is coming, and Li Guang will of course express his welcome. But Li Guang couldn't be happy, and Yuan Ran's parents were also coming to Uruguay on the same boat. Li Guang, who is now in a contradiction, is simply a big head for the joint arrival of these four.

Li Guang looked up to the sky and sighed, oh my God, isn't this playing with me?

Before Zheng Xuechang's fleet returned, Li Zongren, the boss of the Gui family, still got a letter of appointment for Li Guang. However, this letter of appointment made Li Guang a little depressed.

The government approved China's overseas anti-Japanese army, but there was no rank. In other words, Li Guang didn't even get a military rank.

Li Guang was a little skeptical that Zheng Xuechang was not capable of doing things. According to the discussion, it will be completed to declare a regimental level, is it not Zheng Xuechang who reported to China's overseas anti-Japanese detachment? Instead, he directly reported the name of the overseas anti-Japanese army?

This suspicion, although inaccurate, is somewhat true. Out of enthusiasm, Li Zongren reported the name of the overseas anti-Japanese army. Originally, Chairman Chiang was still very generous to these miscellaneous armies, and dozens of guerrillas behind enemy lines could get the title of commander and even give him the rank of major general. But it shouldn't have been reported by Li Zongren.

With the prestige of the commander of the Fifth Theater of Operations, if he declared a colonel or even a major general, he would not be rejected at all. But this time, Li Zongren swallowed 16,000 tons of steel in one gulp, and many people had opinions, and as a result, there was a small change in this application when it came to Chairman Chiang.

Chairman Jiang pushed the boat down the river, you declared the army, okay, I won't refute your face, it's right. As a result, the letter of appointment went to the army, but there was no rank.

What a smart character Li Zongren is, he immediately knew that he was played by the chairman. But there was no time to argue, so Li Guang pinched his nose and responded to this army commander - a military commander without military rank. According to domestic rules, the self-appointed commander of the local guerrillas is the same kind of goods.

Li Zongren felt very embarrassed, and as compensation, Xu Zhan's small team was included in the Fifth War Zone, and Xu Zhan became the commander of the Reading Battalion, with the rank of major. And there is no boss, and it is directly under the jurisdiction of the Fifth War Zone.

In fact, hundreds of thousands of troops in a fifth theater of operations, where will they be ranked. This is actually Li Zongren's overture, in essence, Xu Zhan has become a free man in the Fifth War Zone, and he can fight as he wants, anyway, the Fifth War Zone only gives some military salaries, not military expenses. As a result, Xu Zhan's small army became an organized guerrilla force.

A miracle occurred in the Naval Resistance Army, the commander did not have a military rank, and the captain of a supernumerary guerrilla unit actually had the official rank of major.
