The victory of De'an is naturally exciting for the whole country, and I will not repeat it here. The words are divided into two ends, and let's talk about the situation on Zheng Huzi's side. With the arrival of German supplies, the large-scale refitting of the 41st Army also officially began. Since the 97th Army was responsible for transporting supplies and the 53rd Army was responsible for the security of the base areas, the 63rd Army was fortunate to be the first batch of troops to change their equipment.

However, the 63rd Army has recruited too many new soldiers in eastern Hebei, and the troops must not only change their equipment, but also reorganize them. Chief of Staff Zhou led the General Staff Headquarters and Naval Commander Feng Zhan to draw up the reorganization and assembly plan, and then rushed together to report to Zheng Weiguo.

Zheng Weiguo looked at it and found that the veterans were all concentrated in the 91st Division, and the recruits were concentrated in the 92nd Division, and said strangely: "Didn't you say that the old and the new should be mixed, and the old should lead the new, why are they all separated?" ”

Chief of Staff Zhou explained: "That's right, General Seat. Commander Feng believed that this group of recruits was seriously lacking in training, and that the direct mixing of the troops would affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, so it was better to separate them and concentrate on basic training so as to meet the needs of the regular army as soon as possible. ”

Commander Feng also nodded and said, "Yes, the general seat." When we returned from eastern Hebei, we suffered this loss, the old army of 10,000 people mixed with more than 20,000 new soldiers, and they did not dare to fight, and they could not go fast, and they almost let the devil make dumplings. Looking back now, I'm still in a cold sweat! ”

The Eighth Route Army was able to directly absorb new recruits because they mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare and did not have high requirements for the quality of their troops and their tactical system. The regular army is not good, and if some basic military knowledge is not mastered, it will be difficult to integrate into the troops, and it will also drag the troops back. So what can the regular troops of the People's Liberation Army do to replenish the line of fire? Because those "liberation soldiers" are all well-trained transport captains, their military quality and tactical ability are still above those of the old PLA. Therefore, what comes can be used, and what can be used can be used.

Although the soldiers recruited by the 63rd Army from eastern Hebei have a good foundation, most of them have not received formal military training, and it is obviously inappropriate to directly mix them with regular troops. Judging from the actual results, it has indeed not played the role of using the old to bring the new to the new, but has caused the old troops to lose more than half of their combat effectiveness.

Zheng Weiguo thought for a while, felt that practical experience should be respected, and said, "Okay, then divide it like this." As he spoke, he picked up the plan and looked at it again. Suddenly, another problem was discovered. What's the problem? This plan was arranged according to the structure of the First Army, two divisions, four brigades, and eight regiments. That's certainly true. This was the case with the formation of the national army at that time. But Zheng Huzi clearly remembered that the Ministry of Military Affairs would adjust the troops to the three-three system in 39, that is, three divisions and nine regiments of the first army, and cancel the brigade-level number. For example, the 74th Army originally only had 51 divisions and 58 divisions, but after the adjustment, 57 divisions were added. It is known as the 35th Unit.

If the 63rd Army is now reorganized according to the two-two system. I'm just afraid that the troops have just been run-in. It's going to be reworked again. Such frequent adjustments are obviously not conducive to the growth of the troops.

Chief of Staff Zhou was puzzled: "Boss, is there anything wrong with this plan?" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded, and talked about the upcoming 39-year restructuring.

Chief of Staff Zhou and Commander Feng looked at each other. I didn't expect this one to come out.

"So, is this news reliable?" Chief of Staff Zhou thought for a moment and said: "If it is reliable, I think it is better to apply to the Ministry of Military Affairs for an early change in the establishment, so as not to have to adjust it twice in three days." Anyway, the 105th Division and the 108th Division have been turned into empty shelves, and we will not suffer if they are replaced by three divisions and nine regiments. ”

Zheng Weiguo thought about it and felt that it made sense, even if there was no 39-year restructuring of the 33 system, it was better than the 22 system. With the advancement of science and technology, the troops' communication capability has been rapidly enhanced, and their command function has also been strengthened. Under such circumstances, the three-three system is more flexible, with fewer command links and many tactical changes. Like the troops of the two-two system, once they are surrounded by the enemy and clamped by the other, they will immediately fall into passivity. Historically, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the national army changed back to the 22 system, and as a result, it suffered a big loss in front of the People's Liberation Army that adhered to the 33 system. For example, the collapse of the "No. 1 Brigade in the World" has a lot to do with the rigidity of the organization.

"What does Commander Feng think?" After thinking about it, Zheng Weiguo decided to apply to the Ministry of Military Affairs for an early change in the establishment, and the number and establishment of the regular army were under their control, and the generals were not allowed to adjust it without authorization. In order to show respect, Zheng Weiguo consulted Commander Feng again.

Commander Feng said happily: "This is a good thing, although there is less brigade number, but in fact, there is one more regiment." ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled awkwardly and explained: "In the long run, there is one more regiment, but the losses of the 105th and 108th divisions newly incorporated into our group army are too great, and the military region is temporarily unable to replenish them, so it can only be used as a shelf division and retain the number." The surviving soldiers will be relegated to other units. That is to say, after the adjustment, the 63rd Army will have only two divisions and six regiments. ”

Commander Feng suddenly realized and said with a smile: "So that's the case!" Please rest assured that the headquarters will resolutely obey orders and will never have the idea of preserving strength. He also explained: "As long as it is beneficial to fight against Japan, I am not afraid to lose my head, so why do I care about this!" ”

Zheng Weiguo nodded with satisfaction. The 63rd Army in history can definitely be called a burden of humiliation. At first, he insisted on fighting alone outside the pass, and later fought his way out of the siege from Jilin, and after entering the pass, not only did he not receive any awards, but he was also reduced to the 91st Division. Yongding River suffered heavy losses in the battle, and not only did it not replenish, but it was demoted from first class to second class. However, they were active on the front line of the Anti-Japanese War until they were almost wiped out in the Battle of Wuhan. As a general, with this army, what more can you ask for?

The application was quickly submitted to the desk of the Ministry of Military Affairs. Minister Chen didn't dare to be proficient, so he took it to Comrade Chang Kaishen for instructions. At that time, it happened to meet the great victory of De'an, and the chairman of the committee thought that Zheng Huzi had also made a great contribution. If he didn't get such a cannon, how could he win so much? After changing to the three-three system, it was nothing more than one more regiment, and he could still afford this little money. So with a stroke of the pen, it was approved, and the Ministry of Military Affairs privately rewarded Zheng Huzi with 100,000 legal currency.

The victory of De'an was indeed a lot of benefits, not only did Zheng Weiguo get a win from the chairman, but the attitude of the Germans also quietly changed. Like Major Heisenberg, who escorted supplies, his nose was not his nose and his eyes were not eyes after arriving at the base area, but this time he personally came to the door to ask for a meeting.

"Zheng, congratulations!" Major Heisenberg, learning the etiquette of the Chinese, arched his hand and said: "The Chinese army has won a great victory!" ”

said congratulations, but there was a smug look on his face. As if the commander who commanded the battle was himself. Germany is now allied with Japan and has its own channels of information. Knowing that the main reason for the defeat of the Japanese army was the successive heavy artillery attacks, Heisenberg immediately realized that this victory was related to the arms he had brought with him, and even played a decisive role. This made Heisenberg feel very proud, as if the fate of the two great powers in East Asia was in the palm of his hand.

Zheng Weiguo saw through his intentions at a glance, and deliberately didn't take this stubble, but said casually: "Yes, it's amazing." Our soldiers are not lacking in bravery and wisdom, and all they need is a little bit of advanced weaponry. Don't look at the rampant Japanese army for a while, it must be us who will win in the end. ”

Heisenberg remembered the "soldiers" he had seen in Sichuan who did not hesitate to test their guns in order to verify the efficacy of the drug. He was stunned and said, "Yes." Very brave! I am confident that you will achieve the ultimate victory. What the Eight-Nation Coalition could not do, the Japanese could not. ”

He was stunned for a moment and then said, "But even so, the Führer will not choose to support you." ”

Zheng Weiguo was a little annoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What is this for?" Could it be that the head of state has a prejudice against our China? ”

"Oh. No. No. No! Heisenberg waved his hand and said, "Of course not, in fact the Führer prefers China to Japan, which looks disgusting." But the Führer could not have harmed the interests of Germany by personal feelings. Seeing that Zheng Huzi didn't understand. He also explained: "The German Empire needs allies to help us contain Britain, you don't have a navy, we can only choose Japan!" ”

Zheng Weiguo was silent, and sighed secretly, Navy!

"Zheng, what can you do with your supplies?" Heisenberg urged, "Can't you make us wait any longer, can you?" After saying a few sentences, Heisenberg began to urge penicillin again, perhaps this was his main purpose.

As soon as the supplies arrived in North China, Major Heisenberg hurried to ask Zheng Weiguo to fulfill the contract, that is, to ask for penicillin high-yielding strains and refining methods. Zheng Weiguo has been dragging his feet, not because he wants to repay the debt, but because he wants to hang the mustache's appetite and facilitate deeper cooperation.

"We have already accelerated the progress, but this batch of materials is large, and it will take a little time." Zheng Weiguo casually said perfunctorily, and threw out another bait: "In order to compensate for your losses, I am willing to make a little compensation." ”

Heisenberg had a sneering look on his face, shrugged his shoulders and said, "What compensation?" What kind of new weapon is it? If it's the same as the bazooka last time, I think it's better to forget it. ”

Zheng Weiguo has read a lot of time-traveling novels, in which the bazookas are all loved by everyone, and the flowers are fast. So he deliberately asked the arsenal to create an inferior high-power recoilless bazooka. At first, it did fool some people, such as the Marcel military attaché who promised to help recommend it to Krupp. But after the arrival of Major Heisenberg, he made a big mockery of Zheng Huzi's "creativity", because this kind of bazooka was already being developed by the German army, and it was even more advanced than Zheng Huzi's hand.

Originally, Zheng Weiguo also knew more advanced rocket launchers, such as the Bazooka series with built-in rocket engines. But this weapon is much more complex than a recoilless bazooka, and there is no suitable propellant. Under the current conditions of the arsenal, it simply cannot be built. Without drawings and samples, it was obviously difficult to convince the old-fashioned Germans with an idea alone.

"Weapons don't look good, so what about oil fields?" Although Zheng Weiguo wanted to beat up this slut, he still forced himself to calm down. After all, every successful transaction saves more lives.

"What's that?" Major Heisenberg asked casually, and suddenly his eyes widened and said, "Oil fields!" Zheng, did you just talk about oil fields? ”

Zheng Weiguo was secretly happy, thinking that the fish had finally taken the bait, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's the oil field!" ”

Major Heisenberg hurriedly asked like a machine gun: "Where?" Is it in China? How much production is there? ”

"No, of course not China. As we all know, China is an oil-poor country. Zheng Weiguo first denied it, and then explained: "I have a copy of the information on the unexploited oil fields in Europe, and the total reserves are amazing!" Several of these oil fields are located on the territory of your country. ”

"What?" Heisenberg exclaimed, "Are you kidding? "At that time, the oil-poor countries identified by the oil industry included not only China and Japan, but also Germany, so the mustachioed Führer desperately grabbed oil fields and desperately developed coal refining technology.

In fact, not only China has large oil fields, but Germany also has them. Before Zheng Weiguo's crossing, there were 44 oil fields in Germany, most of which were explored during the oil crisis in the 70s. In addition, Deutsche Oil estimates that at least 560 million tons of oil are buried in the ground waiting to be discovered.

"Major Heisenberg, I vouch for this with the personality of a soldier. I suggest that you immediately inform your government to carry out exploration at the location I have designated, I am sure that there is oil there! Zheng Weiguo had been in contact with a high-level energy planner and knew very well the location of these oil fields.

I thought that this matter would be caught, but Major Heisenberg did not believe it at all, shook his head like a rattle, and refused to report anything to the country.

"Zheng, this is ridiculous! I know you want weapons, and I understand you very well. Heisenberg spread his hands and said, "But I can't help you, I can't damage the interests of Germany." ”

Zheng Weiguo was so angry that he rolled his eyes, but there was nothing he could do about this stubborn guy. He thought for a moment, and whispered a few words to the pillar. It wasn't long before the pillar came in with a few guards carrying a large box. When I opened it, it was full of gold bars, about hundreds.

The golden light was so bright that Heisenberg's eyes could not be opened. "General Zheng, who are you?" Heisenberg hoped that this was used by Zheng Weiguo to bribe him, but it didn't look like it.

Zheng Weiguo pointed to the gold bars and said to Heisenberg: "Is this money enough to drill an oil well?" ”

"Of course!" Heisenberg felt his heart beat out and said excitedly: "Don't talk about one oil well, even ten oil wells are enough!" ”

"Good!" Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "You will immediately inform your government to exploit oil at a location designated by me." If you don't find oil, all this gold is yours! ”

Heisenberg was stunned and said in surprise: "Is there really oil?" ”

Zheng Weiguo said: "Of course, I won't laugh at you with so much gold!" ”

Heisenberg hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "Okay, I can try it." "If you dig up the oil, it's a big achievement, and even if you don't have it, you can make a profit, right?

The news soon reached Germany, and at first it was considered unreliable, but Heisenberg repeatedly stressed that the Chinese General Zheng was willing to bear the cost of exploitation. The mustache, who was desperate for oil, agreed to give it a try, so he sent an engineering unit from the army to explore. In order to prevent sabotage by British and French spies, they went under the sign of a construction company.

The location provided by Zheng Weiguo is very precise, because it is the oil well he saw with his own eyes during a stamping operation in Bavaria, Germany. There are many old buildings before World War II around the oil well, which are very easy to identify. You can't go wrong digging down from that spot.

"Sir, why do you want to conduct geological exploration in this place?" For the sake of secrecy, the German top brass did not tell the truth to the engineering team, but only vaguely said that they wanted to explore for local minerals.

The captain shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows, maybe the top thinks there is oil here!" ”

The engineers laughed.

After about a week of drilling, the drill bit seemed to have pierced something, and it shook violently. The derrick also suddenly trembled violently, and the soldiers ran away in panic without knowing what was going on. However, before he could run far, he heard a loud bang, and a black horse shot out, and the huge force knocked the well to the ground on the spot. The stunned engineers were doused with oil before they could run far.

The captain was ecstatic, stumbled back to the camp, picked up the phone and stammered: "Sir, we have found oil in Bavaria!" (To be continued......)
