"I thought you could get me three or five hundred heavy guns, why are you doing all this?"

Qin Wei's negotiations with Cui Kefu proceeded quickly. didn't even arrive for half a day, and the result was presented to He Yingqin's desk...... But after Minister He read the newly signed agreement, he immediately frowned. Because the result inside was so far from what he expected...... 400 76MM GUNS, 600 82MM MORTARS, EACH EQUIPPED WITH A FEW HUNDRED SHELLS, ANOTHER 200 PLANES, 300 TRUCKS AND 1,200 TRACTORS, IN ADDITION TO TWO DIVISIONS OF SOVIET-MADE WEAPONS. Although there are quite a few, these can only be regarded as conventional weapons. And now the national government is quite rich, and these things are not particularly lacking. What they lack, artillery, tanks, armored vehicles! Especially large-caliber heavy artillery, which is now a strategic-level weapon, can sometimes directly change the outcome of a battle. In his opinion, a thousand small cannons are not worth even ten such cannons. Moreover, he had dreamed that Qin Wei could get an armored unit for the Kuomintang, preferably a division, not a division, or a regiment...... It's nowhere near as good as the Germans' armored clusters, but how many more of these goodies do you want on the battlefield in China? It is enough to beat the Japanese.

Unexpectedly, not long after the dream, Qin Wei took back a "bad result" that was far beyond imagination, making him fall directly back to the ground from the cloud of his dream.

"Boss, the Germans have already taken France, and it won't be long before they attack the USSR east...... Three or five hundred heavy guns? You think the Soviets are so selfless? Qin Wei was very dissatisfied with He Yingqin's attitude. Three or five hundred heavy guns? Not to mention China, take the Japanese heavy artillery brigade as an example. There are two heavy artillery wings under a standard heavy artillery brigade, including 30-40 heavy cannons of the Taisho 7th type 150mm caliber, 20 heavy cannons of the 90 type 240 caliber, and 10 heavy howitzers of the 96 type 305 caliber. Some heavy artillery brigades are also equipped with 3-6 mortar guns of 320 caliber of Type 98. The power of these heavy cannons is not a joke, it is really scary to explode, such as the 240 heavy cannon of the 90 type, the weight of the shell has reached 185 kilograms, and when loading, it needs to use a special loading vehicle to load into the gun chamber, its range has reached 16 kilometers, and the killing radius when it explodes on the ground exceeds 80 meters, if such a shell hits the field fortification, at least one platoon of troops will be crossed out of the formation, and the people in the fortification will be shocked to death by the huge shock wave if they are not killed. As for the caliber 320-mm mortars. The weight of the shells alone reached three hundred kilograms, not to mention the power, basically, one shell hit the fortifications, and a company evaporated from the world...... Such heavy artillery brigades. With the help of the whole of Japan, it will feed only five. One of them was in Japan, and the other four were all in China. Of course. Three have now moved to the Far East. It's fighting the Soviets, and as for the rest of the one...... I'm sorry, but the air force under his command was burned almost completely with napalm during the Battle of Nanchang, and is currently working hard to rebuild.

And having said so much, what I want to express is one: even if there are three or five hundred heavy artillery, He Yingqin will find it from the entire National Revolutionary Army. I'm afraid I can't find enough artillery. Because there are only five such brigades in Japan, and the quality of Chinese soldiers is much worse than that of Japan, how can they muster so many artillery?

"Besides, we in China can't produce that kind of big shells. When the Soviets have finished their rations, what are these guns going to do there? When scrap metal, or pull museum exhibitions? ”

"Let's find the Soviets again." He Yingqin's face was full of indifference, "It's really not good, we can still buy it." ”

"Buy?" Qin Wei sneered, "Boss, can I call you Uncle He?" The Soviets were likely to go to war with the Germans. When the time comes, they will have to fight a battle, and the artillery preparation alone may have to shoot millions of shells, even if the family has a big business, where will they get the effort to do business with your old man? Do you really think they don't lack anything? ”

"Then you can get ten or eight guns, and you can also get an artillery battalion. Just get a few small mountain guns, small mortars, and use them? He Yingqin said dissatisfied.

"You don't want it?" Qin Wei was annoyed, "If you don't want it, I'll take it myself." ”

"Don't talk nonsense. This is military materiel, why should you take it? He Yingqin reprimanded.

"Jokes. This is Lao Tzu in exchange for his own aircraft design, and he is willing to give it to the government free of charge, which is my own high wind and bright festival! But now that you don't want it, why don't you allow me to take it back? Qin Wei slapped the table and shouted.

"Okay, okay, don't I just complain, are you serious?" He Yingqin hurriedly changed his smiling face. A thousand guns and three hundred trucks, plus two divisions of weapons, were enough for him to "shine" for a while. The most important thing is that most of these are conventional weapons, unlike the heavy artillery that came last time, which can only form a heavy artillery regiment, which is directly dispatched by the central government, and no one else can intervene. Many will surely come to him. He would not be reluctant to hand over this kind of good thing to Qin Wei: "But on the American side, you have to remember to urge it, the sooner you get those seven hundred 'hellcats', the better." ”

"Isn't this a matter of Wang Chonghui and Hu Shi? Why are you looking for me again? Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"Don't look at the fact that the Soviets and the Americans are now hostile to Japan, but they are also enemies after all...... We privately sold this new type of aircraft to the Soviets, and the Americans will know the truth by then, and as soon as they pinch the supply of goods, how will we fight against the endless stream of Japanese planes in the future? So, hurry up and get everything you can get your hands on first. He Yingqin said.

"Americans are not stupid, they know what good it is for me to do this." Qin Wei glanced at the old guy, "Don't talk about this, anyway, you urge the Soviet Union to hurry up and transport things over, and then I will give them the relevant design materials of the aircraft." ”

"The meaning of the chairman is to take advantage of the fact that we have complete air superiority now and launch a counteroffensive......" Seeing that Qin Wei was about to leave after speaking, He Yingqin didn't stop him, but suddenly said another piece of news.

"Counterattack?" Qin Wei was stunned for a moment, and the steps he had originally planned to take suddenly stopped, "He's crazy?" ”

"Ahem," He Yingqin couldn't help coughing dryly, and then glanced at Qin Wei complainingly: "How do you speak?" The chairman of the NPC National Committee was also anxious to drive the Japanese out of China...... Moreover, the victory in the air battle of Guangzhou has greatly boosted the morale of the military and people throughout the country, and the desire of the front-line officers and men to fight is very strong. ”

"Come less." Qin Wei pursed his lips disdainfully, "I just blew up two Japanese battleships, and people don't know how to hold back the fire and want to retaliate." I sold the plane to the Soviets, just thinking about causing trouble, you guys are good, this is a counteroffensive? You've been eating too much lately, haven't you? ”

"You're getting less and less able to speak." He Yingqin smiled bitterly, he really had no temper with Qin Wei: "You should understand the urgency of a country's leader who wants to drive the enemy out of his own land." What's more, as you yourself said, this is the second world war, and China should seize the opportunity to rise...... But how can it rise? You can't just rely on these southwestern provinces, right? ”

"Then does he think that as long as there is an air force, he can sweep away all the enemies?" Qin Wei asked rhetorically.

"At the very least, it shouldn't be a big problem to get Guangzhou back and restore the international traffic lines there." He Yingqin said.

"Whose idea is this?" Qin Wei asked.

"A lot of people think so." He Yingqin replied.

"I also want to take Guangzhou back, but now Guangdong still has two divisions of the Eastern Army, have you thought about this problem? And I also want to ask, even if I can get Guangzhou back now, what will I do later? Qin Wei tilted his head and looked at He Yingqin, "We blew up and sank five Japanese warships, including two battleships...... The Japanese are about to hate us to death from top to bottom, and even if the relationship between their army and navy is not good, they must retaliate with all their might, otherwise they will not be able to explain to their people. What's more, the Japanese only sank a few warships, and their naval strength in the Pacific Ocean is still the first, and if they really want to fight ruthlessly, they can still blockade Guangzhou Bay and block our sea routes. In this case, what is the use of us sacrificing so many soldiers to recapture Guangzhou? ”

"Everyone means to wait for the war between the Japanese and the Soviets in Siberia before launching it." He Yingqin said, "At that time, even if the Japanese were unhappy and resentful of the loss of those two battleships, they would be helpless against us, right? And in the event of their defeat in Siberia, even if the losses are too heavy, it is impossible to have any more spare strength to seize Canton. ”

"You're wrong." Qin Wei sighed, "Senior Commander He, you forgot a very, very, very important thing. ”

"What's the matter?" He Yingqin asked rhetorically.

"You forgot who you played against Timoshenko in Siberia!" Qin Wei said in a deep voice.

"Isn't that Seishiro Sakagaki?" He Yingqin thought for a while, "That guy is indeed quite capable of fighting, but he also has to distinguish who the opponent is." Brother Timoxin is not a soft egg who doesn't understand military affairs in Yan Xishan! The Soviet Red Army was not the Jinsui Army either! He was unable to break through Li Delin's defense line when he had absolute superiority in the air and land, and it was impossible for him to break through Timoshenge's Iron and Steel Division now. ”

"How old is Seishiro Sakagaki? I'm not talking about him, Ishihara Waner! Qin Wei snorted coldly angrily, "One Ishihara Wan'er is worth at least ten Terauchi Shouichi." What's more, Seishiro Sakagaki was almost obedient to Ishihara, so there was basically no problem of command of the Japanese army in Ulan-Ude. In other words, the Japanese will not lose this battle! And I won't allow them to defeat either! Even if the loss is too big! They must crush the Timoshenko group in the shortest possible time and march westward to Yekaterinburg! Blockade the Eurasian choke point of the Trans-Siberian Railway! This is the task I gave them, they must do it, and they have to do it!" (To be continued......)
