Chapter 228: The Youth Army
-- Wuhan
Since the beginning of the war, Wuhan has been the wartime center of China, and countless materials, manpower, and machinery have been stored here, firstly, to use Wuhan's superior geographical location to support the operations of various theaters, and secondly, to use the Yangtze River waterway and railway to quickly transfer these valuable materials to the rear in case of emergency.
Since the Battle of Fujin Mountain, the Nationalist Army retreated to the Mall, and the Japanese army on the northern front once again continued to bleed under the rudimentary defense of the Nationalist Army, and the Nationalist Army and the Japanese Army on the southern front began to accumulate strength and confronted each other on the front line of Tianjiazhen, and these two places were only 500 miles away from Wuhan, and Chiang Intermediary in Wuhan felt more and more the pressure of the Japanese army on him.
On the streets of Wuhan, several students kept shouting anti-Japanese slogans on the stage, the people below applauded and cheered up for the students, and the soldiers with military orders hurriedly kept going in and out of Wuhan City.
Several cars drove to the riverside under the envious eyes of others. A bald-headed middle-aged man in the car, holding a scepter, was Jiang Zhong.
"Commission, this is our first batch of lists, it will take about ten days to transport it in full force, Wuhan has piled up too many supplies, and it is very unlikely that they will all be transported away." Chen Bui said as he made a report for Jiang Intermediary in the car.
Jiang Zhong looked at the crowd outside the window and nodded, "I know, although you do it, you can transport machinery and equipment first, especially the equipment of military factories, our stocks have been exhausted, although relying on foreign aid is the most important, but we can't completely rely on foreign countries, you see, Germany is no longer selling things to us now." Now Japan is moving closer to Germany in a high-profile manner. I think it's only a matter of time before Germany goes all out to Japan. ”
Chen Bui hurriedly praised, "What the committee said is very true, in addition, the relocation of the school is also in the first batch of lists. ”
"It's time to sit down." The driver stopped the car and said, Jiang Zhong looked out, but it was a wharf by the river.
After Jiang intermediary got out of the car. said to Chen Bui, "By the way, the retreat must be kept secret, and it must not cause the morale of the army and the people to be shaken, understand?" ”
Chen Bui hurriedly nodded yes.
On the river, there are dozens of warships, this is the last strength of the Chinese Navy, it is said to be a warship, but most of them are some fish boats and small and medium-sized warships, and the largest one is the Zhongshan ship that Jiang Zhong couldn't help but sigh when he saw it. The Japanese warship, completed in 1913, was at this time the largest warship in China. His captain is Sa Shijun, and his uncle is Sa Zhenbing, a soul-level veteran of the Chinese Navy.
Chen Shaokuan stood in a row with the naval officers, and when he saw Jiang getting out of the car, Chen Shaokuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, "Report to the commission, the number of warships of the National Navy should be 32, but it is actually 32, please review it." ”
Jiang Zhong looked at the warships on the sea and the athletes on the shore. Salute said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Japanese army is heading up the river. Invade my country's land, torture my family, if I were not the leader of the country, but a small soldier, I would be the first to charge with a bayonet, and it would be glorious to be killed. But I am the leader of the country. I can only stand here and ask you, for the sake of the Republic of China, to fight to the death against the enemy, to tell the undead in Nanjing and the people of the world. ”
The navy saluted Jiang Zhong in unison. Chen Shaokuan shouted loudly, "All of them, get on the ship and anchor." Target - Tianjia Town! ”
Watching the black smoke caused by the battleship slowly disappear into his eyes, Jiang Zheng knew in his heart that the navy was only nine deaths, but the Tianjiazhen fortress was too important, and it would be the most important battlefield on the southern front of the Battle of Wuhan. ”
An officer handed Chen Bui a piece of paper, Chen Bui looked at it, nodded, stepped forward and said, "Bench, Jiang Cheng has appeared in Wuhan." He's getting ready to go to you, look? ”
Jiang intermediary smiled and said, "This Jiang Cheng, we are fighting for life and death in China, and he is making money abroad, let him see me in the office, by the way, what is Jianfeng doing?" ”
Chen Bui replied, "Since Gongzi arrived in Wuhan last week, he has been learning to fight by Bai Chongxi's side, and at the same time, he often haunts the civil affairs. ”
Jiang Intermediary shook his head and said, "He's still too tender, now it's just a matter of letting him touch everything, after all, it's likely that he will only encounter such a scene once in his life, okay, let's go back." ”
Jiang Cheng closed his eyes and waited outside Jiang Zhong's office, Wuhan did not have too many people of his own at this time, Wang Ming and others did not know Jiang Cheng's arrival at all, and most of Jiang Cheng's own people also withdrew from Wuhan, leaving only a few people guarding the stronghold.
"What? Have you been waiting for a long time? Jiang Intermediary's voice suddenly came, Jiang Cheng opened his eyes and saw that Jiang Intermediary had come over at some point.
"I haven't waited long for the commission." Jiang Cheng smiled and bowed to Jiang Intermediary and said.
Jiang intermediary nodded, opened the door and said, "Come in, your business in Europe and the United States is getting bigger and bigger, I also read the new books published by your company, which is good for leisure in normal times, well, let me ask you, did Yiping end up with He Shuhuan?" Saying that, Jiang Zhong's eyes were a little floating, and he seemed to be a little embarrassed.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, naturally there is a lover who will eventually become a family." ”
Jiang Intermediary hurriedly said, "It's not that I want to know, it's my family, hehe, I can only say that your book is really good." ”
Jiang Cheng hurriedly said modestly, "I praised the commission, I don't know if the medicine and materials of the National Army are enough, and Weihua has not been out of stock." ”
Speaking of this, Jiang pointed to the stool with a smile and said, "Sit down, you are doing a very good job in medicine, and I also heard that you know my dog?" ”
"Knock" There was a knock on the door, Jiang Cheng looked at it, and was surprised to find that it was actually ******, and ****** also looked at Jiang Cheng in surprise and said, "Brother Gu?" Why are you here? ”
Jiang intermediary pointed to the two and said, "I know that you know each other, so I specially asked Jianfeng to come over, you are so close and close, Gu Quan, I heard that you borrowed a lot of money from Jianfeng?" I, as a father, ask, what are you doing here? ”
Hearing this, I only felt a chill in my heart, and few people knew about borrowing money from Weihua Company. But now that it has reached the ears of Jiang Zhong, there can only be one explanation, that is, there are people in the military around him, and ****** can't help but make up his mind to purify the team again after he goes back.
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes, and immediately understood the real intention of Jiang Intermediary to let him come, and the development of Jiang Intermediary was inseparable from the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium. Jiang intermediary naturally knows that in order to achieve great things, it must have the power of money, ****** as the only son of Jiang intermediary, Jiang intermediary naturally has expectations for him, and the Song and Kong families can't be said to be too good because of the relationship between Song Meiling and the ******, and Jiang intermediary has suffered all the hardships, so he naturally hopes that the gold owner found by his son is a good control master, and Jiang Cheng, who has never refused Jiang intermediary's request and has a lot of money, is naturally the best choice.
Jiang Cheng immediately smiled with a smile on his face: "The son is benevolent, righteous and virtuous, willing to give and has no shortage of iron-blooded means. As a businessman who hopes that the country will be rich and strong, I can't hold back my hope to fund the hope of our country in the future, and I hope that the commission will understand more. ”
Looking at Jiang Cheng as if he didn't know him, he didn't expect this Jiang Cheng to be quite able to speak.
Jiang Intermediary really laughed when he heard it, "You kid can indeed speak, Jianfeng, I asked you to come over this time for a reason, and now Gu Quan is also here." Just let Gu Quan also participate, I have already seen the results of your youth league. Although the governance of Ganzhou is only the beginning, I have already seen the results of the back, and the Youth League has played a very good role in your hands, I think so, Jianfeng, you know. The veterans of our army are fighting less and less, most of the newly recruited soldiers are undertrained, and there are many literate people in your youth regiment, I want you to train a youth army, of course. It is said that it is the army, but first it is better to train according to the specifications of a division, and then open a training class, you are the head teacher, take care of it, I know that your temperament is not on this, and I don't want you to be specifically responsible for the above affairs, just hang up an idle post, you always say that I will only give you a vacant title. ”
Jiang Cheng nodded knowingly and said, "Thank you for your trust, I will definitely do my best to complete the task." ”
At this time, a shrill voice came from afar, and then a guard came in and said, "Commissar, about 10 Japanese planes have appeared in the west, please take shelter in the basement." ”
Jiang Zhong sighed, clenched his scepter and said, "Let's go down, it is already very difficult for our air force to support the battlefield, and there is really no extra combat power to put on this." ”
Jiang Cheng waited for Jiang Intermediary to take a step first, and said to ****** as he walked, "Brother Jianfeng, this time is good." ”
He touched his head and smiled, "I didn't expect the commission to give such an order, so please take care of me in the future." ”
When the air raid ended, Jiang Cheng and ****** walked out of the office building together, and ****** invited Jiang Cheng to get into his car, in the car, looking at the bombed collapsed houses and crying people, ****** and Jiang Cheng sighed together, the two were stunned, looked at each other and smiled.
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "Brother Jianfeng, I have 36 anti-aircraft guns in my hand, and I wanted to dedicate them to the commission, but I was worried that some people would say nonsense, so why don't I dedicate it to you first, and then you can give it to the commission, and also add some air defense forces to Wuhan." ”
Listening to it, he excitedly said, "Is there really 36 units?" What model? ”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "It's Swiss's Suroton, the shells are all ready, how about it?" Interested. ”
Hurriedly nodded and thought about it and said, "That's great, yes, of course." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, I'll arrange it." ”
After Jiang Cheng and ****** agreed, they traveled back to modern Shanghai, and he still had to wait for news about the cooperation with Chen Guomin.
When I got home, seeing that Yu Na was making breakfast, Jiang Cheng smiled and secretly drank a glass of milk and said, "Why did you suddenly cook by yourself today?" ”
"Big brother, you steal someone's grandmother." A milky voice of blame almost scared Jiang Cheng to vomit, and when he looked back, it was indeed Zifeng.
Zifeng was wearing penguin pajamas, rubbed his eyes and said, "Big brother, you're back." ”
Yu Na smiled and rubbed Zifeng's face, and said to Jiang Cheng, "I see that she is always home alone, and she is really a little worried, so I asked her to sleep with me last night." ”
Jiang Cheng was simply shouting in his heart, "You are still not at ease, I am really not at ease when you are with her, this is simply a time bomb." ”
Yu Na continued to cook, Zifeng pulled Jiang Cheng and whispered, "Big brother, our plan has been approved, and the location has been chosen." The things will arrive in three weeks, and the location and password will be given to you, so remember to sign for it. By the way, the money has to be paid first, after all, we haven't done business with each other yet. ”
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, the sooner this cannon arrived, the sooner he could rest assured. Jiang Cheng immediately said, "Okay, you go and tell General Chen, I will pay as soon as possible." ”
-- Yan'an
"Chairman, Chairman!" A middle-aged man walked into the cave while shouting, and Chairman Mao in the cave looked at the visitor and smiled, "My big housekeeper, what is it that makes you so in such a hurry?" ”
It turned out that the person was Yang Zhicheng, who was known as the chief butler of the Eighth Route Army.
Yang Zhicheng said with a serious face: "Chairman, I heard that you have set the standard equipment of the arsenal as SKS rifles?" I disagree, Chairman. ”
Chairman Mao asked, "Why don't you agree?" The comrades said that the gun was very useful. Although it is not as accurate as a rifle like the 38 big cover, the rate of fire is fast, and we also have this ability, I went to the arsenal to see that Liu Ding has successfully copied it. ”
Yang Zhicheng hurriedly said, "Chairman, I'm not saying that this gun is not good because this gun is too bullet-intensive, most of our SKS are spent on the bullets brought by 203, and then they are reloaded, and they are also supplemented by Lai, but once it is mass-produced, not to mention anything else, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 a year, and there will be more in the future, where do we go to get these bullets?" Besides, our army is in a period of expansion, there are many new soldiers, and it is better for these soldiers to use old rifles, my opinion is that although Mosin-Nagant is a little behind SKS, Mosin-Nagant is easier to manufacture and simpler to use, I think it is more suitable for our current situation, and this bullet is common to SKS, and when our bullet production capacity goes up, what was made before will not be wasted. ”
Chairman Mao nodded, smoked a cigarette, thought for a while and said, "What you said makes sense, but the research and development of SKS can't be stopped. I think it can be like this, first production is easy to produce, but to study more advanced, when we need it, we can switch at any time, so let's go to Shanxi with Liu Ding, to meet Mr. Zhu, according to the actual needs of the army and our actual situation, to study how we should design our production plan. ”
Yang Zhicheng hurriedly saluted and said, "Okay, chairman, I'll do it immediately." (To be continued.) )
