Volume 3 Step by Step Chapter 300 The Great Killer
"Of course"
Lu Kuiyuan smiled and said proudly: "There are a total of 150,000 taels of gold and more than 3 million oceans, as well as more than 8 million oceans worth of dollars, pounds and francs and other currencies, as well as some ancient calligraphy and painting antiques, I took a cursory look, one of the inscriptions is Wen Zhengming, I was startled at the time, and quickly asked people to put it away."
Wen Zhengming? It was a famous painter and calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Ming hurriedly grabbed Lu Kuiyuan's hand and asked solemnly, "How did you find it?" ”
Lu Kuiyuan triumphantly told the truth of the matter.
It turned out that after Lu Kuiyuan led his troops to occupy the building of the headquarters of the Japanese Marine Corps, he quietly sent people to search the building, and found a hidden basement. After the sappers blasted it open with gunpowder, they found that there were boxes of gold, oceans, and currencies of European and American powers, with the largest reserves being US dollars.
Lu Kuiyuan smiled and said to Wu Ming: "Seriously, that basement can't be found by ordinary people, the staircase is blocked by a bookshelf, and the surrounding area is full of fragile handicrafts, if it weren't for a soldier who happened to knock down the bookshelf, we could only enter Baoshan and return empty-handed.
Speaking of this, Lu Kuiyuan asked in a low voice: "Big brother, what do you say should be done with this batch of property?" ”
"How? All seizures must be returned to the public, this is the discipline of steel, and no one can violate it," Wu Mingyi said sternly.
While Westerners tend to keep their valuables in safes, Easterners prefer to hide their belongings in inconspicuous hidden places, such as calligraphy or paintings or Buddha statues, or hidden in secret rooms behind bookshelves. Listening to Lu Kuiyuan tell about the situation at that time, if it weren't for luck, he would really give away such a large amount of wealth
"Well, this is the luck of our country and nation, and at the same time, it is also the misfortune of Japan, it seems that God is not willing to let the Japanese devils plunder these treasures belonging to the Chinese people"
Wu Ming sighed with emotion, and said: "The Japanese are insatiable, not only occupying the three eastern provinces and Rehe, but now they are deliberately provoking wars in North China and Songhu, and also looting so many good things from our country, it is really an unforgivable crime, take Wen Zhengming's painting as an example, it is a national treasure."
As soon as he heard the word "national treasure", Lu Kuiyuan was a little anxious, leaned over and whispered: "Master, since God is also helping us, then let's not take this batch of treasures, I'm really sorry for God's kindness."
"When have you ever seen me suffer? You asked people to quietly transport it back to Maoliangwu and put it in the material warehouse on the mountainside behind the Phoenix Mountain camp, and when the inventory is completed, it will be converted into cash, and 10% will be used to reward the soldiers who participated in the operation, understand? After Wu Ming finished instructing, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "When you found the secret room, did other people, such as the people of the 88th Division, see it?" ”
Lu Kuiyuan's head shook like a wave drum, and he smiled proudly: "Big brother, don't worry, the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters building was built by us, and no one can touch it." The officers and men of the 88th Division who arrived later did not enter the building, but all turned over the corpses of Japanese soldiers outside, and the thieves were careful one by one, even the gold teeth in their mouths and the metal buttons on their bodies."
"That's called thrift and thrift, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's careful calculation, I'm afraid we would be so poor that we wouldn't be worthy of others lifting their heels, and we would still have the heart to show off here?" Seeing Lu Kuiyuan's disdainful look, Wu Ming really wanted to give him a punch and teach him a lesson丨 This guy who is cheap and sells well. Wu Ming waved his hand unceremoniously: "Okay, you can do this matter in person, you must transport the things back safely and secretly, and if there is a problem, you are asked."
"Yes"
Lu Kuiyuan finished saluting and left after a while.
Zhang Zhizhong received the report handed by Long Shaogang, deputy commander of the new Second Division, in the office of the Nanxiang Guyiyuan Headquarters, and read it carefully, his face was full of shock and appreciation.
This time, Zhang Zhizhong no longer suspected that the new Second Division was faking his military exploits, and a huge wave was set off in his heart.
After the New Second Division successfully blew up the Japanese temporary military airfield in the early morning, stormed the Japanese Marine Corps Headquarters building in the morning, and successfully blocked the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet along the Huangpu River, and in the afternoon took down the Gongda Yarn Mill, another important military stronghold of the Japanese army in downtown Shanghai
Thinking that the three most elite German divisions of the 36th, 87th and 88th Divisions, coupled with the cooperation of three or four divisions drawn from the 18th Army, and the two tank companies transferred from the rear, took the lead, attacked for several days in a row but lost troops and only captured the outlying strongholds of the Japanese fortress, how embarrassed was Zhang Zhizhong?
Zhang Zhizhong briefly inquired about the situation of the troops on the front line, and Long Shaogang said that the new 2nd Division had successively conquered the two major fortresses of the Japanese army, and its own casualties were very large, and the losses of weapons and equipment and ammunition consumption were even more astonishing, and it urgently needed to be supplemented by the quartermaster logistics department of the headquarters.
Two hours ago, Zhang Zhizhong had already received a commendation from Nanjing for his meritorious generals, and he himself was the one who came out on top of the list. In the final analysis, this time Zhang Zhizhong and the 88th Division both occupied the light of the new Second Division, and it was reasonable to give priority to replenishing the weapons and equipment of the New Second Division, so as not to let the front-line officers shed blood and tears. However, Zhang Zhizhong was not in a hurry to express his position, he endured the shock, tapped his fingers on the table, and asked sideways: "Deputy Division Commander Long, where is your division attacking now?" ”
Long Shaogang came to the large map of Shanghai hanging on half of the wall, and explained in detail to Zhang Zhizhong, who got up and came to his side, compared with the map, Zhang Zhizhong nodded again and again, and finally said:
"Well, the new Second Division is worthy of the sharp blade of the country, and it has made such great achievements when it first came to the Songhu battlefield, but it is not proud of its achievements, and it still conscientiously carries forward the spirit of continuous combat, and the country is ......very fortunate."
Long Shaogang coughed lightly with some dissatisfaction, interrupted Zhang Zhizhong's half-literate and half-white praise, and said: "Commander, the artillery regiment of our division blocked the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy on the Huangpu River, although the results were quite fruitful, but its own losses were extremely heavy, if we could, we hope to be replenished, and there are also all brigades and regiments with light and heavy weapons lost——"
"The new second division has achieved such a record, and it should be given priority to be supplemented"
This time Zhang Zhizhong did not shirk again, he walked quickly to the cabinet in the corner of the room, took out a folder from the drawer, took out a document from it, returned to the desk and signed a promotion order, signed his name, stamped it with a seal and handed it to Long Shaogang.
Long Shaogang was overjoyed when he took a closer look, with Zhang Zhizhong's warrant, the new Second Division could go to the munitions warehouse of the Ninth Army to treasure treasures in a bright and bright manner.
Long Shaogang gave a solemn military salute to Zhang Zhizhong and left happily, but a mysterious smile appeared on Zhang Zhizhong's face behind him.
Located at the intersection of North Sichuan Road and Wusong Road, Luo Yuming is holding a telescope to observe the fortifications built by the Japanese army in front of him relying on the building of Japan's Mitsui Trading Company.
"Report, Commander Luo brought people over, and the artillery regiment has set up an artillery position in the hospital of the Ministry of Industry on Yalu Road, which can support our operation at any time."
The herald came to Luo Yuming and immediately reported. When Luo Yuming heard this, he hurriedly put down the binoculars, strode out of the command post, and greeted the artillery regiment that came to the front, and then Luo Yuming introduced to Luo Changling the commander of the 88th Division, Zhu Chi, and Han Xianyuan, who cooperated with the first brigade in combat.
Brigade Commander Zhu and Regiment Commander Han showed great affection for Luo Changling, and the artillery regiment of the new 2nd Division perfectly blocked the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet on the Huangpu River, fully demonstrating the extraordinary nature of the artillery regiment. Now seeing the artillery regiment and its party still fighting high after the fierce battle, the people of the 88th Division are ashamed and admired.
After everyone finished gossiping, Luo Changling pointed to the Japanese stronghold in the distance and said to Luo Yuming: "Sir, now the three artillery companies of the second battalion of our artillery regiment are in place, and the gifts we have prepared for the Japanese are also ready. In my opinion, it is better to take this stronghold as soon as possible, and it is better to join the North Road Column as soon as possible."
Luo Yuming turned around, picked up the binoculars again, and looked at the Japanese soldiers who were stubbornly resisting on the barricades and fortifications on the Japanese defense line in the distance.
"Good"
Luo Yuming looked at Lu Dazhong, the chief of staff of the brigade next to him: "The most important ultimatum issued to the Japanese army, has it been more than half an hour?" ”
Lu Dazhong raised his wrist and looked at his watch, and reported: "Exactly thirty minutes"
"We salute first and then soldiers, since the Japanese army refuses to surrender, we have no choice but to attack"
Luo Yuming said to Brigade Commander Zhu of the 88th Division: "Old Zhu, now that we are about to attack, can you ask the brothers of the 88th Division to cooperate?" ”
"Willing to Serve"
Brigade Commander Zhu agreed to come down in one bite.
Luo Yuming nodded heavily, and issued an order to Luo Changling: "Immediately start shelling and killing this group of unfathomable little devils"
"Yes"
Luo Changling stood upright, saluted and hurriedly ran towards his artillery position
After a while, there was a dull sound of artillery bombardment from the rear, Luo Yuming picked up the binoculars and saw bursts of flames and gunsmoke rising from the Japanese position, and the Japanese soldiers were blown up by the sudden artillery bombardment.
Every cannon shot took the lives of several devil soldiers, and from time to time blew up a few stumps and broken arms.
The firepower of the artillery group became more and more fierce, and seeing the embarrassed appearance of the devil soldiers scrambling to flee for their lives, Brigade Commander Zhu and the others were very relieved, and said with their hands and words, You also have today, it seems that the previous continuous attack failures have suffocated the officers and men of the 88th Division.
Seeing the ghost soldiers fleeing towards the rear bunker, Luo Yuming smiled faintly, these ignorant ghost soldiers didn't know that the Grim Reaper was already beckoning to them.
After about a quarter of an hour of shelling, Luo Yuming and Brigade Commander Zhu gave an order, and the officers and men of the New Second Division and the 88th Division rushed towards the Japanese stronghold from the left and right flanks.
The Japanese observation post had already discovered the attack of the officers and men of the New 2nd Division and the 88th Division, and a large number of devil soldiers were kicked out of their bunkers by the grassroots officers.
When the Japanese troops evaded the artillery bombardment and retracted to their bunkers, the officers and men of the artillery regiment of the New Second Division had successfully erected 12 gasoline barrels with iron wires 200 meters away from the Japanese army's front-line positions.
The devil soldier raised his head in surprise and looked at the huge disc-shaped object flying over, and was a little overwhelmed for a moment......
