St. Paul's Mission Hospital, Guangzhou.
Ouyang sat up from the hospital bed with difficulty, and the guard Ma Jiujin hurriedly put down the work in his hand, quickly took a few pillows, and put them on Ouyang's back.
Since the end of the Jixiangpo battle, Ouyang endured the pain and led his troops to participate in the attack on Huizhou, and then due to serious injuries, he was admitted to the hospital on October 29.
Ouyang smiled and asked, "Is the political commissar here?" β
Ma Jiujin immediately replied: "The brigade commander, the political commissar and the chief of staff have already come, but they didn't wake you up when they saw that you were still asleep." β
At that moment, Ouyang asked Ma Jiujin to call Zhao Gang and Wang Yaqiao over.
"Brigadier Commander!"
Wang Yaqiao and Zhao Gang both said hello to Ouyang.
"What is the situation with the departments of my 512 brigade now? What were the casualties among the fighters? Did the wounded fighters receive timely treatment? β
Ouyang asked directly.
Ouyang had already known the news of the victory in the defense of Guangzhou last night, and now he was most concerned about the situation of the soldiers of the 512 Brigade.
Wang Yaqiao replied: "Brigade commander, don't worry, the soldiers are all very good, and the light and serious wounded have received the best treatment. β
Hearing this, Ouyang's heart immediately felt a lot more relieved.
How could Ouyang not care about the situation of the wounded?
"Brigade commander, the 885th Regiment and the 886th Regiment have set off from Shantou at 6 o'clock this morning, and it is expected that they will arrive in Guangzhou in three days; The independent regiment and the new regiment also departed from Meizhou at 7 a.m. today and arrived in Guangzhou three days later. β
Political Commissar Zhao Gang reported on the situation of each department, "Now the casualties of all units of my 512 Brigade are relatively large, and the remaining soldiers are only more than 2,500 people. β
Hearing this, Ouyang's heart suddenly sank.
Before the start of the Daya Bay Naval Battle, the total strength of the 512 Brigade was more than 7,500 people, but after successive battles, more than 5,000 soldiers were sacrificed!
5000 people!
What a huge number!
How could Ouyang not be sad?
After a long time, political commissar Zhao Gang broke the silence.
"Brigade commander, I have good news for you, Mr. Zhang Peicheng, who you asked me to inquire about, we have already been in touch."
Political commissar Zhao Gang said.
At that moment, Ouyang immediately said: "Okay, then this matter will trouble the political commissar, you help me make an appointment, I will meet Mr. Zhang in person." β
Zhang Peicheng, Singaporean, ancestral home in Foshan, Guangdong, is a well-known local wealthy businessman in Singapore, but also an extremely famous patriotic overseas Chinese, during World War II, he has traveled to Southeast Asian countries, raised a lot of money, to support the motherland's anti-Japanese war.
According to historical records, Mr. Zhang Peicheng arrived in Guangzhou on October 18, 1938, carrying a large amount of cash and cashier's checks, and made a special trip to support China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
In the end, he had no choice but to return to Nanyang on November 5, and the money he brought with him this time did not come in handy until the end of December, when he came to the northernmost part of Guangdong again, and donated the money to the 12th Army of Commander-in-Chief Yu Hanmou.
It is said that the total amount of this money is as high as 300,000 oceans.
Zhao Gang said again: "When you meet Mr. Zhang Peicheng, you can rest assured that you will leave it to me, the better the time, I will inform you immediately." β
"Okay, you look at the arrangement of this matter, of course, the sooner the better!" Ouyang urged.
Political Commissar Zhao Gang was slightly worried: "But your injury." β
"It's all trifle, it doesn't matter!"
Ouyang said immediately.
Seeing Mr. Zhang Peicheng's matter, Ouyang was not anxious.
300,000 oceans!
That's a lot of money!
You must know that Ouyang once went to Shanghai, and when he took a risk, he got that meal of gold, which only added up to more than 100,000 oceans.
Now these 300,000 oceans, if they are intercepted by Ouyang, it can be of great use, not to mention anything else, with these 300,000 oceans, the financial predicament of the Eighth Route Army can be solved a lot immediately, and there is even a surplus, which can be used to purchase some military equipment and more than double the production capacity of the Eighth Route Army Arsenal.
The Eighth Route Army was really poor, and there was an extreme shortage of weapons, ammunition, medicines, supplies, etc.
On this trip, if Ouyang can handle the relationship with Mr. Zhang Peicheng, then the future assistance will be endless!
Political Commissar Zhao Gang assured: "That's okay, you continue to rest, I will strive for this today, and I will settle this matter." β
"Hmm!"
Ouyang nodded.
But suddenly, Wang Yaqiao smiled faintly: "By the way, brigade commander, I forgot to tell you something, I want to congratulate you." β
"How?" Ouyang asked.
Wang Yaqiao immediately said: "Brigade commander, just now the commander-in-chief of the 12th Group Army, Yu Hanmou, personally called our brigade to inform us that the commendation order from Chongqing has come down!" β
"Oh?"
Ouyang immediately asked, "Commendation order?" Chief of Staff, don't tell me that Lao Jiang only gave us a verbal commendation this time, and didn't give us any actual things, right? β
"That's not it, this time Lao Jiang was rare and generous, not only ordered to provide our 512 Brigade with a brigade of weapons and ammunition, but also the establishment of our 512 Brigade has also been upgraded from a local security brigade to a first-class brigade, and the ranks of all officers have been upgraded by one level, that is to say, from now on, you will be a general!"
Wang Yaqiao told the whole story.
A brigade?
Rank promotion?
Am I a major general?
Although he was promoted to a major general, Ouyang's heart was not much touched, compared to the sacrifices of the soldiers, Ouyang would rather give up the rank of major general.
"One will make ten thousand bones dry!"
After talking for a while, Wang Yaqiao and the political commissar left.
Not long after, another person came to Ouyang's ward, it was the road rage played by Dwayne Johnson.
Lu Ba said: "Brigade Commander, I have already done what you explained the day before yesterday last night. β
"Really?!"
Immediately, Ouyang was surprised and said, "This is true? In just one day, you will get the arms dealer? β
"Of course!"
Road Ranger said confidently.
As early as after Ouyang woke up from the hospital, he told Lu Rage to contact the foreign arms suppliers in Guangzhou.
China is currently at war with Japan, so China's demand for weapons and ammunition is quite huge, and it is sought after by arms dealers all over the world, and various arms dealers from various countries have offices in many cities in China, such as Chongqing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places.
"Brigade commander, the arms dealer I contacted was still our fellow American, originally he heard that he was trading with our Eighth Route Army, so he was not interested, but fortunately, I had a bad talk with him, and he agreed to make a deal with us." Lu Ba said.
Many foreign arms dealers are mercenary vampires, but one thing is clear: they are not very happy to do business with our party and our Eighth Route Army, because we are too poor, and the amount involved is too small to arouse their interest.
On the contrary, with the national government, they are very happy, because the government has money.
Ouyang immediately said to Ma Jiujin: "Ma Jiujin, you prepare a set of clothes for me immediately, and I'll go out with Road Rage now." β
Hearing this, Ma Jiujin immediately became anxious, "Brigade commander, this is not good, the doctor has explained that you must recuperate, how can you go out, and if this matter is known by the political commissar, he will definitely scold me." β
"Huh!"
Ouyang pretended to be angry and said: "Ma Jiujin, don't be impressed by each other for three days, your kid is capable, you have learned to use the political commissar to press me, talk nonsense with me, hurry up and help me prepare clothes, otherwise I will let your kid roll to the cooking class." β
Ma Jiujin said reluctantly: "Okay, you are the chief, you have the final say, you know to scare me with this matter!" β
"Hurry up!"
Ouyang You urged.
This time, Ouyang was really anxious, and being able to do business with foreign arms dealers was the third most important thing for Ouyang to come to Guangzhou to participate in the war and obtain assistance from Nanyang.
Ouyang has two good things in his hands, and he doesn't worry about the gringos!
