When Meng Qingshan took the guards around him and Chai Shirong, the commander of the Second Military Region (Shangjiang Military Region), to the location marked on the first map, Chai Shirong looked at a dense mountain forest, and couldn't help but smile at Meng Qingshan, who was looking for a marker, and asked: "Commander-in-chief, you came to inspect our place, not to mention to see the development of our base area. Instead, when I came to this ghost place, there was nothing to see except that the trees were mountains. ”

Chai Shirong, who didn't know what Meng Qingshan was doing here, asked Meng Qingshan with an expression of understanding, Meng Qingshan looked at Chai Shirong with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Buddha said, don't say it." ”

“”

Meng Qingshan observed for a long time and finally nodded, loaded his guns at his side, and stared nervously at the two guards around him and ordered: "You dig up this place." It doesn't take much, it should be dug up about two or three meters. ”

Regarding Meng Qingshan's strange behavior, Chai Shirong and Cao Yafan looked at him quietly. I don't know what the commander-in-chief is doing, when they heard that the commander-in-chief actually came to Luobei, Chai Shirong and Cao Yafan were overjoyed, and immediately organized troops to prepare for protection work, and at the same time prepared meals, but they didn't wait for Meng Qingshan, thinking that there was an accident on the road of Meng Qingshan, and Cao Yafan and the others were in a hurry, so they specially sent a telegram to the headquarters to ask about Meng Qingshan's marching route, and immediately gathered a regiment of troops to meet Meng Qingshan.

When the soldiers of the guard company dug a full four meters instead of the two meters he said according to Meng Qingshan's request, they couldn't help but be stunned when they saw a cave that had been blown down in front of them. After seeing the scene in this cave, Chai Shirong looked at Meng Qingshan with a dignified face on his face.

"Lao Cao, you said that the commander-in-chief wouldn't want to rob the tomb!"

"No, it won't! How could the commander-in-chief do such a thing. ”

"Lack of money! I heard that the commander-in-chief went to Jiangbei this time to bring a full ton of gold, as well as the expenses of the troops, and I heard that military salaries will be implemented this year, so of course there is a shortage of money. ”

"No way. If you rob the tomb, you can't go into battle yourself! ”

"You don't understand this, this must be the legendary treasure of the Qing Dynasty, I heard my grandfather say when I was a child that when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, a large number of gold and silver jewelry were left behind for the future generations to return to the country."

"Lao Chai, take a rest! Even if there is, Pu Yi you old boy will have been dug up, and then dare to arrange the commander, be careful that the commander will lock you in a small black room. ”

"If you look at the map in the commander-in-chief's hand, it must be a treasure map."

“”

looked at Meng Qingshan and wanted to go in. Chai Shirong took the lead in stopping Meng Qingshan and said, "Commander-in-chief, I will take the lead!" ”

Meng Qingshan raised his head and looked at Chai Shirong, who was very speechless, and said, "Shirong, what are you doing here?" ”

"Commander-in-chief, there must be a lot of mechanisms set up in this great Qing treasure location, so let me take the lead! My old Chai is almost forty years old this year, it's enough, the Anti-Union can do without me Chai Shirong, but I can't do without you! You still have to take your comrades to fight the little devils, and you can't die in this cave. ”

After listening to Chai Shirong's words, Meng Qingshan only felt a few crows flying over his head, and said with an expression that I was defeated by you: "What do you want, Lao Chai!" I am here to find the arsenal of the Northeast Army. Not here to dig graves. ”

"Ahh Find the arsenal. Chai Shirong shouted with his mouth open.

Cao Yafan covered his mouth and stole fun on the side, Meng Qingshan was just about to speak, in order to hide his embarrassment, Chai Shirong took a flashlight and got in, Meng Qingshan watched Chai Shirong go in recklessly, speechless for a while, I didn't know what to say, the cave that has been sealed has to use a candle to test the oxygen inside, which in the cellar outside the Northeast family in the future, the cellar where cabbage is stored will first put down a candle to see the situation in the cellar. If the candle is extinguished, it means that the oxygen in the cellar is not very sufficient, and you need to wait for dozens of minutes before going down, otherwise you will faint from lack of oxygen.

Meng Qingshan was about to send someone down to rescue Chai Shirong. Chai Shirong came out with a joyful expression on his face and shouted: "Commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, this will really be issued, all the weapons and ammunition are piled up in it, and they are all piled up into a mountain, you see that our military region is bitter!" All the time to face the crusade of the little devils in the river. The troops were still holding red tassel guns, and the little devils were laughing at us" After speaking, Chai Shirong looked at Meng Qingshan pitifully.

Seeing that Chai Shirong was still selling cuteness in his forties, Meng Qingshan only felt liver pain, looking at Chai Shirong's appearance, the weapons in it must be not small, Meng Qingshan immediately ordered the logistics personnel to go into the cave and light the supplies.

After a while, a logistics staff took a notebook and handed it to Meng Qingshan. After Meng Qingshan opened it, he found that it was actually a statistical table of materials left by the Northeast Army when it was buried. Meng Qingshan slowly opened it and looked at it, only to see that it was written: "There are 12,000 Italian-made Carcano rifles, and each rifle is equipped with 1,000 rounds of ammunition." In addition to the standard number of rifles, there is also a corresponding spare ammunition. "According to the above description, these rifles were purchased in the 15th year of the Republic of China, but because they have been used as spare equipment, they have never been used, and the maintenance has always been good, with this batch of weapons, they can be issued to the troops of the second, third, and fifth military regions to enhance their combat effectiveness, so that they can better cooperate with the main force to fight.

"Not counting these Italian-made rifles, there are actually a batch of 8,000 American-made Russian-style water rifles. It's all the same, it's all new guns that haven't been used. ”

"There are also some French-made eight-millimeter rifles, only more than 2,000, which is not comparable to the number of rifles made in Italy and the United States. However, although the quantity is not large, the ammunition of these rifles is extremely abundant. The ammunition in this, in addition to meeting the use of French machine guns, is enough for these rifles to last for twenty years. "I have always heard that the Northeast Army is rich, but now Meng Qingshan believes it.

"In addition to rifles, the number of light and heavy machine guns is not too much. Only 500 French-made 1922-style light machine guns and 100 French-made Hatch Chase 8-mm heavy machine guns were purchased through Italian intermediaries. In addition, there were 500 Browning pistols to equip officers and spies. ”

In addition, there are 150 French-made 81-mm mortars, 12 Schneider 1923-type 75-mm mountain guns, 12 Austrian-style 100-mm light howitzers imitated by the Fengtian Arsenal, and 24 Liao-14 37-mm flat-fire guns. In the Middle East Road Incident that year, the Northeast Army suffered enough losses from Soviet tanks, so when it allocated weapons and equipment, it specially allocated 24 flat-fire guns. ”

"Also because I had enough of the Russian planes back then, there were also 12 of the latest 20-mm anti-aircraft guns that had just been introduced from Switzerland at that time. and twenty-four French-made Hatch Chase 13-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns. ”

In addition to these imported weapons and equipment, there are also 3,000 Liao 13 rifles made in Fengtian, 200 65 caliber 14 light machine guns, and 100 13 79 heavy machine guns. In addition, there are 200 Belgian-made hand-held machine guns and 500 Thomson hand-held machine guns imported from the United States. One hundred and twenty Spanish Astra 02 imitation Mauser automatic pistols. ”

"In addition to the huge amount of weapons and ammunition, there is also enough infantry to carry the equipment of four divisions according to the establishment of the old Feng army. Among them were a full set of armed belts, ammunition packs, water bottles, leggings for the infantry, and even the sapper shovels were arranged one-to-one according to the infantry. These are all original imports. ”

Seeing so many weapons, Meng Qingshan could hardly believe his eyes. So many weapons and equipment, not counting all kinds of so-called hand-held machine guns, that is, submachine guns, just the Italian-made rifles and French-made light and heavy machine guns, plus light and heavy artillery, are enough to equip an integrated army.

Although the caliber of the weapons is a bit complicated, Meng Qingshan, who has always been poor, saw that only the rifle ammunition was made in Italy 65 caliber, Russian rifle 7.62 caliber, and French 8 mm. But the victory is in sufficient quantities, and the ammunition reserves are enough to cope with several years. It's just that he can't figure it out, why these weapons and equipment would rather be put here and rot slowly, and the Kuomintang will not hand them over and use them as a resistance to the enemy, if the Northeast Volunteer Army could have this batch of weapons and equipment, it would be uncomfortable for the little devils, of course, not counting those who have surrendered, no wonder Chai Shirong has an expression that if you don't give it to me, I will follow you.

This time, Meng Qingshan is more looking forward to the encirclement and suppression of the Japanese army, he hopes to play the prestige of the Anti-Japanese Federation through this battle, stabilize the hearts of the people, let the people of the Northeast know that the Anti-Japanese Federation has not been defeated, let the anti-Japanese upsurge in the Northeast continue to skyrocket, let the Japanese army's edge be reduced, and at the same time prepare for the opening of the wasteland and farming in the spring, he does not want the little devils to continue to make trouble in the spring, you must know that the food that Meng Qingshan has obtained these days is just enough, but next year the base area must be expanded, and the number of the army must also be expanded. Then you have to have a lot of grain, and you can't always rely on buying it from Lao Maozi to be self-sufficient, so Meng Qingshan specially planned a spring plowing plan. (To be continued......)
