Chapter 341: Picking up arms

After Masaharu Honma lost his temper for a while, he fell asleep on the chair in a huff, and suddenly felt that someone was calling him, and opened his eyes angrily to see the herald Konishimura Jiro standing trembling aside.

"Yaga! How many times have I told you that you are not allowed to disturb when you are resting, there are dead and dead! Honma Masaharu grabbed Konishimura's collar and slapped him twice.

"Hai, Your Excellency, Commander! I'm sorry, but the commander of Terauchi called you. Seeing Masaharu Honma's angry eyes, Konishimura was so frightened that he almost fainted, and hurriedly explained, ignoring the pain on his face.

Honma Masaharu also served as the commander of the defense of Tianjin, so his power was greater than that of an ordinary division commander. Of course, no matter how great the power is, it can't be as great as Shouichi Terauchi, so he hurriedly pushed away Xiaonishicun to answer the phone.

"Moximoxi!" Masaharu Honma cleared her throat and respectfully picked up the phone.

Shouichi Terauchi got a little impatient and said angrily, "Hey, Honma-kun, have you already moved the telephone to the ship?" If not, I hope you can hurry up next time! ”

Honma Masaharu didn't dare to defend himself, and hurriedly apologized: "Hayi, kill your mother!" ”

Terauchi Shouichi snorted twice, and finally explained his intention: "The Mongolian Corps sent a few people over, saying that they wanted to form the Mongolian Autonomous Army, but they lacked arms, and wanted to seconded the old arms captured by the imperial army before. I checked, this arsenal is in Tianjin, you are responsible for arranging it! ”

The amount of information was too much, and Honma Masaharu didn't understand, so he hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency." Isn't this batch of supplies going to the security forces? If you want to distribute it to the Mongolian Autonomous Army, I don't know how much is appropriate? I also ask the Commander, His Excellency to make it clear. ”

Terauchi Shouichi thought for a moment and said nonchalantly: "Sodosne, then give the equipment of the three divisions!" ”

Masaharu Honma hurriedly said, "Hello! ”

Due to the competition for military resources (including funds, establishment, materials, and treatment, etc.), the relationship between the Northern Branch Dispatch Army and the Kwantung Army Corps stationed in Mongolia operating in Inner Mongolia was very stiff for a time. Of course, the conflict mainly occurred between the two strategic blocs of the Northern Branch Dispatch Army and the Kwantung Army, so after the reorganization of the Mongolian Corps into the Mongolian Garrison Army and the change to the Northern Branch Dispatch Army, the relationship between the two sides was greatly eased.

Terauchi Shouichi also showed his generosity in a timely manner, so after hearing that it was the Mongolian army that sent personnel, he gave great favors. Originally, these weapons still needed to be purchased by the puppet Mongolian government itself, but now they are not needed, anyway, they are all old goods that are not used by the Japanese army.

Historically. The better part of this batch of weapons was given to Qi Xieyuan's North China Security Army. The rest of the rags were intended to buy Yan Xishan, but the two sides did not negotiate in the end.

In the afternoon of the same day, a representative of Mengjiang named Li Chengyuan found the Tianjin Defense Command in Haiguang Temple. Honma Masaharu asked people to verify the documents and letters of introduction, and sent a telegram to confirm with the army stationed in Mongolia and the Mongolian Autonomous Government. After the review was correct, he sent someone to lead Li Chengyuan to the arsenal in the suburbs to receive weapons. Meantime. Masaharu Honma didn't even bother to talk to this guy.

The person in charge of receiving Lee Seung-won was a lieutenant named Kobayashi Dorjee. Don't look at the level is not high. However, he is the reception officer of the defense commander (that is, the staff who is specially responsible for the reception work), and he has a lot of stealth power, so he is very arrogant. Especially in front of the timid Lee Seung-won. Kobayashi Dorjee's nostrils were almost facing the sky.

Out of the gate of the headquarters, Li Chengyuan secretly took out a gold bar from his body, and said with a flattering smile: "Kobayashi Taijun, please take care of me when we meet for the first time." ”

Kobayashi Dorjee took it in surprise and swiped it with his hand, and a look of surprise quickly appeared on his face. He had been in the Defense Command for more than half a year, and no one had ever been so generous. Local tyrants, let's be friends! If Kobayashi Dorjee knew this, he would definitely shout it. So he patted Li Chengyuan's shoulder excitedly and said, "Yo Xi, Li Sang, your great good!" I'm sure I've made up this friend! ”

Li Chengyuan nodded hurriedly and said, "It's a friend, it's a friend!" ”

As soon as Kobayashi Dorjee was happy, he waved his hand and called a four-wheeled passenger car similar to a jeep. This is the treatment only available to high-ranking officers of the Japanese army, and as Kobayashi, even if he sits next to the driver, he is not qualified. But this time he was accompanying the representatives of Mengjiang, so Xiao Lin took it upon himself and rushed to the arsenal with Li Chengyuan in a hurry.

"Stop, please show your ID!" Three barricades were set up in front of the warehouse's gates, all of which were machine-gun bunkers, probably to prevent people from forcing their cars to rush to the post.

"Give!" Kobayashi Dorjee lazily handed over the documents.

When the sentry saw that the defense command was written on the certificate, he was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up and saluted. This attitude made Kobayashi Dorjee feel very satisfied, and he couldn't help but praise the soldier a few words. Li Chengyuan also slapped a few sycophants just right, and Xiao Lin listened to it, not to mention how comfortable he was, but this good mood was quickly ruined by Squadron Leader Harada, who was stationed in the warehouse.

This stubborn guy felt that a lieutenant in Kobayashi Dorjee District was sitting in such a high-end passenger car, and felt unreasonable, so he had to call to verify the identity of Kobayashi and his party.

"Hai, Hai, Your Excellency, we will execute it immediately." Squadron Leader Harada put down the phone and said apologetically, "Kobayashi-kun, your identity has been confirmed. I'm sorry about what just happened, but please come in with me! ”

Kobayashi Dorjee, who felt that he had lost face, scolded Harada with a stinking face. Although the two were of similar ranks, Kobayashi Dorjee was from the headquarters, and Captain Harada didn't dare to fight back at all, so he had to stand upright and accept the instruction.

Seeing this, Li Chengyuan hurriedly persuaded: "Xiaolin-kun, the imperial warriors guard the arsenal, and they work very weekdays, so don't be harsh." ”

Kobayashi Dorjee waved his hand and said, "Yo Xi, for the sake of Li Sang's face, I will spare you, and immediately go and bring the list of supplies, we are in a hurry to carry the materials." ”

Captain Harada was embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Your Excellency! There is no list of these supplies, and the weapons needed can only be found one by one. ”

Xiao Lin was furious and shouted, "Nani? Eight Geyaru! ”

Harada didn't dare to defend himself, so he had to keep bowing and apologizing. It turned out that the materials here were all captured, and the Japanese army did not pay much attention to them, and they moved a batch when they were captured. Each time it is stacked in place. It has not been sorted out, let alone maintained, and the list is naturally not available. In fact, even Squadron Leader Harada didn't know how many supplies were in the warehouse in the road, so he could only estimate it empirically.

Kobayashi Dorjee had no choice but to take Li Chengyuan to check the warehouses one by one to see what kind of weapons he needed. When I opened the warehouse, I saw that various types of rifles, machine guns, and even cold weapons such as broadswords and spears were mixed together, and they lacked maintenance and were seriously damaged. In a word. It's cluttered inside. It makes the Japanese who love neatness blush a little.

However, you can still see some good guys occasionally, such as the 29 mortars used by the 60 Army, and the 82 mortars used by the Central Army and the Ningzao heavy machine gun. Li Chengyuan even saw a few big black guys, and he didn't know what type of artillery he was.

Kobayashi Dorjee, who felt a little sorry for the gold bars, said embarrassedly: "Li Sang." The arms are too old. It may not be very satisfying to you. Yours can pick more, though. It doesn't matter! ”

Originally, the squadron leader reminded in a low voice: "Your Excellency, the commander's approval only mentions the equipment of the three divisions. ”

Li Chengyuan hurriedly grabbed the angry Kobayashi Dorjee and said with a smile: "Please rest assured that the original Taijun is born." We only take the equipment of three divisions, absolutely not more! As he spoke, he took out a small yellow croaker and handed it to Harada, saying, "Please smile at the wine money given to the warriors of the arsenal." ”

Harada's old face turned red, and seeing that Kobayashi Dorjee didn't pay attention, he hurriedly hid secretly.

Kobayashi Dorjee actually saw it, but when he saw that Harada's gold bars were not as big as his own, he didn't make a sound. He took Li Chengyuan around and asked, "Li Sang, how do you plan to transport this batch of munitions?" Train or car? I suggest you use the East Asia Light Transport Line, which only opened this year. The cars are all American, and the quality is great! ”

The East Asia Light Transport Company, which is run by Muto Trading Co., Ltd., is an American-made Dadao with a load capacity three times that of a Japanese-style truck. As a result, the transport line is very popular in northern China, and even the military often asks them to help transport supplies. Of course, the reason why Kobayashi Dorjeshi recommends this is mainly because of Muto Trading Co., Ltd.'s sales incentive system. As long as this business is negotiated, Kobayashi Dorjee will be able to get a lot of intermediary fees.

Li Chengyuan thought for a while and said: "Of course, Kobayashi Taijun's recommendation is the best, but I am not familiar with them, so I asked Kobayashi Taijun to contact them on my behalf." ”

Kobayashi Dorjee learned from the Chinese and patted his chest and said, "This matter is wrapped up in me!" He borrowed the phone from the arsenal to dial a number, and it only took three or five minutes to talk. The East Asia Light Transport Bank promised to send a car tomorrow, and said that it could give a 20% discount for the sake of Kobayashi Dorjee's face.

Li Chengyuan closed his mouth happily, hurriedly thanked him, and secretly stuffed a small yellow croaker. Kobayashi Dorjee accepted it quietly, and reminded again: "Li Sang, the weapons in the arsenal are messy, you'd better call your subordinates to pick them up, otherwise you won't be able to use them if you move them back." ”

"Haiyi, thank you Kobayashi Taijun for reminding me!" Li Chengyuan hurriedly called more than 20 of his subordinates, all of whom were Mongolian strong men. This made Captain Harada a a little nervous, but for the sake of the gold bars, he agreed that they would go into the warehouse to pick them up after disarming their weapons. Kobayashi Dorjee also ran in to help with guidance, although he had never fought a war, but his military literacy was really good, and he picked out first-class good goods.

Li Chengyuan simply hired Kobayashi Dorjee as a temporary arms adviser at the price of one gold bar a day, and as for Harada's subordinates, he was also hired by him to choose guns at the price of 20 rifles and one ocean. Harada's subordinates are also veteran oils, the gun is good, the gun is bad, and when you pull the bolt, you will know the sound when you listen to the sound.

Twenty clicks is an ocean, and there is not a single soldier who is not happy. After all, now that I am in the arsenal, I have no chance to go to the countryside to loot, and I will not earn it in vain.

"Li San, the big yo of the heavy machine gun!"

"Pick!"

"Lisang, the big yo of the mortar!"

"Pick!"

……

"Li Sang, come here, I have made a major discovery!"

"Choose, ah! What is it? Li Chengyuan hurriedly hurried over, only to see several arm-thick "cannons" piled up in the corner. He trembled with excitement and said, "Yo Xi, this is exactly what our Mongolian Autonomous Army needs!" (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you very much for the monthly ticket of Shattered Void 5332, is this the first one this year? Good sign!
