Chapter 502: Funding the Twenty-Ninth Army
The two factions of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are both communities formed by economic interests, and each has its own interests in the parliamentary disputes, the original Democratic Party has an absolute advantage in the parliament, and both the Senate and the House of Representatives have always supported Roosevelt's New Deal;
However, as soon as the giant battleships of China came out, many Democrats turned around and supported the plan of the Admiralty in the development of warships, even so, when the major powers in the world were developing giant warships, the United States was still holding meetings to discuss, and it was not until two months later that the final plan was come up.
What was Xu Fei doing during this time, when the fleet returned to the Lushun Military Port and the Yingkou Military Port, he immediately sent dozens of cargo ships to Lianyungang and Shanghai to pick up the Sichuan troops who had come from afar, as for him personally escorted a shipload of miscellaneous weapons to Tianjin Port, and went ashore, hundreds of trucks loaded with arms from large cargo ships at night and rushed to the direction of Beiping.
At this time, the time was June 30th, Xu Fei was still a little urgent, he came this time in addition to him and nearly 100 special combat members, he hoped that that incident would not happen, but he was a little tired of the ability of time and space to correct historical errors;
Especially after he was involved in the Xi'an incident, he knew that something certain would happen, unless he had prevented all the causes of that incident in advance.
The supreme governor in Peiping was Song Zheyuan, who was a rather complex figure, and his inner sense of patriotism was as strong as that of a warlord, which often led him into a fierce ideological struggle.
Song Zheyuan had a deep-rooted warlord mentality, and half of what he did in Pingjin was forced by the Japanese. Half still hope to establish an independent kingdom and engage in military secession.
Jiang spent a lot of effort to woo him, but Song Zheyuan finally refused to give him a hug. His heart is still loyal to his old master, Feng Yuxiang, even if he is ostracized and neglected by the government.
Xu Fei had already informed Song Zheyuan, who was still commanding election guidance in Hebei and other places, and after he only ordered Tong Linge to be his plenipotentiary, the army commander who was grateful for the destruction of the Japanese army but still wanted to continue to be independent in the Beijing and Tianjin areas did not come back;
Xu Fei didn't care about this at all, he still wished that this guy wouldn't come back to make trouble, he was going to secretly distribute all the arms in the next few days, and that incident would really happen when the time came. Then he will preside over a changing historical event.
Tianjin is not far from Beiping, as the military headquarters of the 29th Army is in Wanping City, the convoy is turned off and parked in the place where the 29th Army has prepared in advance. Xu Fei went to their military headquarters with Tong Linge, who had come to greet him.
In the conference room, several division commanders of the 29th Army had all arrived, and Xu Fei, as the commander of the Northeast Theater, could not command them, so the Japanese army could provide them with munitions. This made the commanders of the 29th Army, who had always been frugal, very happy. This time, they came to receive their own equipment, and on the other hand, they came to thank this legendary commander who destroyed the Japanese army.
Feng Zhi'an, Zhang Zizhong, Zhao Dengyu, Liu Ruming, Zheng Dazhang; These are the high-level leaders of the 29th Army, but they are wearing coarse cloth uniforms, looking at their spirits, they are not full of spirit, and they are excluded Needless to say, they all know the way.
Xu Fei motioned for everyone to sit down and said directly:
"Commanders of the 29th Army, I am the supreme commander of the Japanese army and the commander of the Northeast Theater, in fact, I am the person who commands my own troops, and I learned from Chairman Chiang that your army is on the front line. The equipment is not very good;
This is the idea of all for the purpose of the Anti-Japanese War, and I, Xu Fei, have decided to support a batch of arms to you. However, before I do so, I would like to inform you of the news that the Japanese garrison outside Beiping is very likely to stir up trouble in the next few days, and this news is the news I obtained from the headquarters of the Kwantung Army, and the source is the newly appointed chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, Hideki Tojo.
That's why I can't wait to deliver the equipment to you, that is, I don't want you to be forced and suppressed by the Japanese army because of the equipment problem. ”
Xu Fei said this, he looked at the group of commanders of the 29th Army who were shocked but still calmly listened to his explanation, he smiled and continued:
"Once the Japanese army provokes, then you know what their choice is, I won't say much, this time I brought 20,000 rifles, 10 million rounds of rifle ammunition, 500 Japanese machine guns with crooked handles, 5 million rounds of ammunition, 300 heavy machine guns, 5 million rounds of ammunition, 200,000 grenades, and 10,000 mines;
2,500 grenadiers, 300,000 shells, 1,000 mortars, 100,000 shells, 60 75 mountain guns, 60,000 shells, and we have also provided you with 200 anti-aircraft machine guns and 500,000 rounds of ammunition, and we have also provided you with 30 howitzers from 120 to 150 with 30,000 shells;
Although these weapons are not very good and there are a lot of them, but the troops to deal with the little devils should be enough, I just hope that your army will be equipped with weapons as soon as possible, just in case, Deputy Commander Tong Linge can ask Commander Song for instructions to make arrangements, I still have a few days here, I can help you if you have any special needs, and I will not shirk it. ”
"Quack." I don't know who it was that bit his mouth violently and made a strange sound, Xu Fei glanced at the division commander named Zhang Zizhong and smiled.
These weapons are useless to destroy the Japanese army, but if they are used to this unit, which can only aim and cannot shoot at training, it is even more urgent than sending charcoal in the snow.
Tong Linge is a big face that does not smile, at this time he is not as happy as several other division commanders, since Xu Fei told them that the Japanese army will move, and spare no effort to fund such a large-scale munitions, he can't help but feel a little haze in his heart, but it is always a good thing to have weapons, his thick black eyebrows relaxed a little and then looked at Xu Fei and said:
"On behalf of the military seat and all the officers and soldiers of the 29th Army, Tong is grateful to Commander Xu for his support, if there is any movement in the Japanese army, our soldiers of the 29th Army will definitely not retreat in the slightest."
Xu Fei smiled indifferently, this matter is not for these people or even Song Zheyuan to have the final say, but his participation in this matter this time is to change the history that continues to be revised.
After sending the trucks transporting munitions to the 29th Army, Xu Fei temporarily stayed in Wanping City, and his No. 100 special combat team had disappeared around;
In the next few days, the 29th Army began to change its guns, neat standard weapons were changed, sufficient ammunition was distributed to the soldiers, and the long-term hardship of the team was also rare because Xu Fei spent money to buy a large amount of grain and livestock, and they were open meat for several days in a row;
All this seemed to be happy, but the high-level officials of the 29th Army knew that this was Xu Fei preparing a pre-war preferential meal for everyone, but they couldn't say anything, because they couldn't do all this themselves, and Xu Fei, an outsider, had to spend money to handle it for them.
