Chapter 379: Rushing to Hengyang

Seeing that Dai Li was a little nervous, Chiang Kai-shek smiled and said, "It's nothing, I'm just asking." This Wang Haitao is still good, in a place like Longzhou County, he can still think about the central government and the party-state. Unlike some people, they can't count on anything but asking the central government to reach out. For Wang Haitao, he still has to win over some people. Then Chiang Kai-shek told Dai Li in detail about Wang Haitao's tribute to the central government of a large number of German-style weapons and the 500,000 yen he obtained.

After listening carefully to Chiang Kai-shek's words, Dai Li had an idea. From Lao Jiang's words, it can be heard that Lao Jiang still admires this Wang Haitao very much. At present, however, as long as there are soldiers in the hands of the central and local authorities, it is considered good if they do not stretch out their hands to the central authorities to ask for this or that, and how can anyone take the initiative to send a large number of weapons and ammunition to the central authorities, as well as so much money, like this Wang Haitao? Just listening to the amount of arms is quite a lot, and 500,000 yen is not a small amount, and if it is used well, it can buy back a large amount of supplies.

Just when Dai Li was thinking about how to treat this Wang Haitao, Chiang Kai-shek spoke again. Chiang Kai-shek said: "Yu Nong, the 500,000 yen given by Wang Haitao will be handed over to you to use, and when Cixiu sends someone to receive the arms, you will also send someone to receive the 500,000 yen." By the way, didn't you send a group of people to the 90 th Army last time? Send some of these people to Longzhou, this Wang Haitao has the ability, and he must not be co-opted by the Central Committee and the Communist Party, and the people you sent should pay attention to these aspects, and do not interfere with anything else. ”

Chiang Kai-shek's words were a holy decree for Dai Li, and Dai Li had already figured out how to do it at this time. Dai Li, who returned to the office, immediately contacted Chen Cheng. Chen Cheng had just received a telegram from He Yingqin at this time, and his heart was full of gratitude to Chiang Kai-shek for handing over such a large number of advanced German-style weapons to himself, and Chen Cheng was also a little excited and excited in the face of this long list of arms.

As for this batch of weapons and equipment, Chen Cheng had already thought about it, so he went to receive them from Huang Wei's 18th Army, which was withdrawing to Changsha, and then used these weapons and equipment to build the 18th Army into a semi-German armament army with stronger combat effectiveness. So Chen Cheng sent a telegram to Huang Wei in Changsha, ordering Huang Wei to personally lead a main division to be stationed in Hengyang, preparing to receive German-style weapons and equipment from Wang Haitao.

In addition to sending a telegram to Chen Cheng, He Yingqin also sent a reply telegram to Wang Haitao of Longzhou County, in which he first received Lao Jiang's meaning and greatly praised Wang Haitao, and awarded Wang Haitao a first-class Baoding Medal. Wang Haitao's two divisions were also given the numbers of the 210th Division and the 211th Division. In addition, Wang Haitao was asked to escort the arms handed over to the central government and yen to Hengyang City, Hunan, where General Huang Wei's 18th Army would receive the arms and Dai Li's Military Command Bureau would receive the yen.

Wang Haitao's current arms have not yet been completely transferred back from Saigon, so Wang Haitao called back and scheduled to escort the arms and yen to Hengyang City, Hunan Province in a month's time, and hand over the arms and military commanders to the 18th Army and the military commanders. After filming the telegram, Wang Haitao told Tang Longzai to do a good job in the training of the troops, and then took the reconnaissance company to board the freighter bound for Saigon.

The three freighters sailed only after dark, and during the day they chose to hide in seclusion, so they traveled for three days to reach Saigon Port. Wang Haitao boarded the German freighter again, and after inspecting the remaining munitions and supplies, he decided to rent a few warehouses in Saigon Port, unload all the supplies, and let the German ship leave first.

When the two Krupp technicians saw Wang Haitao, their excitement was overflowing, and it turned out that on the way to the voyage, the two technicians could not help but be curious about the self-propelled rocket artillery, and when they learned that the guard battalion could use this weapon, they repeatedly asked the guard battalion to test fire this weapon to see the effect.

Tang Yonggang agreed to the request of the two technicians, and after choosing an uninhabited island, he fixed the self-propelled rocket launcher on the deck of the freighter on the sea 10 kilometers away from the island, and carried out a round of firing. Within ten seconds, there was a "whoosh, whoosh" whistle, and nineteen rockets rushed out of the conduit one after another, and the target island had become a sea of fire with the explosion of the rockets.

All the Germans present to watch, including the captain and sailors of the freighter, were stunned for a while, and cheers rang out. The two technicians had an unbelievable expression, and after a long time, they changed to an extremely excited ecstatic expression, they knew that Krupp had found a treasure, and they would also be rewarded and promoted by Krupp for this matter.

Therefore, when these two technicians saw Wang Haitao again, they would have expressions such as excitement and flattery. The German freighter stayed for another two days, unloading all the munitions on board, Wang Haitao gave the captain enough freight and tips, and even those German officers Wang Haitao did not forget to give a generous gift. In the blessings of everyone to Wang Haitao, Wang Haitao sent the German freighter away.

After the three freighters were all full, there was not much left on the wharf, Wang Haitao estimated that the storage ring could be loaded, so he let the three freighters return to Longzhou Port under the escort of the soldiers of the guard battalion, and let the freighters not have to come to Saigon Port again.

After dark, Wang Haitao put all the remaining munitions and supplies into the storage ring in the warehouse, and then led his men to stay in Saigon City for one night, and the next day, Wang Haitao paid the port fee and warehouse rent at the Saigon Port Authority, and paid an additional docking fee to Morgan Company, and then took the soldiers on a passenger ship and left Saigon Port.

When Wang Haitao and the others returned to Longzhou County five days later, all the munitions brought back by the cargo ship had already been put into storage, and they were waiting for Wang Haitao to come back and distribute them. As soon as Wang Haitao arrived at home, he first took out all the remaining munitions from the storage ring, including 100 trucks, 20 eight-wheeled heavy armored vehicles, and 10 Cheetah tanks sent by the Krupp company. At the same time as taking out the arms, Wang Haitao also took out half of the gold and several million silver dollars at once, which were used for the transaction after the United States shipped raw materials to Saigon Port.

After doing this, Wang Haitao didn't care about resting, and came to the station of the Second Independent Division non-stop, and held a meeting of officers above the battalion level of the Second Independent Division, and Su Zuxin, Zhao Zhongwu, and Tang Renxin also attended the meeting at the same time. The 2nd Independent Division will soon have the number of the 211th Division, and the division will have the 2nd Brigade and 6th Regiment under its jurisdiction, as well as the division's artillery regiment, division's guard battalion, division's reconnaissance battalion, and division's baggage battalion.

The weapons brought back this time, except for semi-automatic rifles and light machine guns, were distributed to the 2nd Independent Division as needed. The motorcycles were divided into five, and in addition to the dozens left by the military headquarters for use, and the fifty that were given to the center, the rest were allocated to the army reconnaissance brigade and the reconnaissance battalions of four divisions. Two hundred trucks were also allocated to each division, and the rest were given to the Logistics Service.

As for the tanks and armored vehicles, they were handed over to the army armored brigade for use, because except for the first independent division, which had an armored regiment and had also received formal mechanized coordination training from German instructors, the other three divisions did not have an armored regiment, so it was better to hand over all these combat vehicles and tanks to the army armored brigade for centralized use.

After the meeting, the logistics department began to distribute weapons and equipment to the Second Independent Division, and this time the Second Independent Division was replenished with 8,000 semi-automatic rifles and 500 light machine guns.

After the Second Independent Division was busy, seeing that the Second Independent Division was already conducting shooting and tactical training, Wang Haitao and Su Zuxin began to prepare weapons and ammunition to be sent to Guangxi and the central government. First of all, all the guns and ammunition for the center were loaded into the truck, then 500,000 yen were also put into the armored car, and finally dozens of artillery pieces were also towed by trucks.

The 100 trucks of weapons and equipment given to the central government could not be loaded, and in the end, 50 trucks from the logistics department were used to complete the loading. As for the weapons and ammunition sent to Guangxi, they were easily loaded with the 100 trucks given to them. After all the preparations were completed, Wang Haitao calculated the time, and the two teams were escorted by two regiments of the guard brigade and one regiment of the reconnaissance brigade.

The team was not slow, it was only because there were fifteen tanks in the team that the whole team had to move at the speed of the tanks. Su Zuxin took a team of men and horses and drove to Nanning one step ahead. After the handover between Nanning and Guangxi, they will join Wang Haitao's team in Guilin.

From Longzhou to Guilin, which is more than 500 kilometers away, Wang Haitao and his team walked for three days before they arrived, and when they passed through Nanning, Wang Haitao and they bypassed Nanning City in the dark and passed quietly from the side. Wang Haitao didn't want this team to be exposed to the eyes of those people in Guangxi, so as to cause them strange thoughts and add some unnecessary trouble to himself.

Three days later, they met with Su Zuxin's team in Guilin, and everyone headed for Hengyang City, Hunan. It is not far from Guilin to Hengyang through Yongzhou, but it is about 400 kilometers, but this road is full of mountain roads, and the road is sometimes good and sometimes bad, if it is infantry, it is not difficult to walk, but now this is a fully mechanized army, and there are more than a dozen tanks weighing dozens of tons in the team, which has relatively high requirements for the road.

Fortunately, this road is still relatively safe, and the guard regiment often plays the role of sappers, busy before and after repairing bridges and paving roads. The more than 400-kilometer road took five days to approach Hengyang City. The soldiers of the reconnaissance regiment were connected with the reconnaissance troops of the 18th Army in Yongzhou, and the reconnaissance troops of the 18th Army also kept reporting the progress of Wang Haitao's unit to Lieutenant General Huang Wei, commander of the 18th Army, who had arrived in Hengyang City.

When Wang Haitao's troops arrived at Santang Town, 10 kilometers outside Hengyang City, on the evening of the fifth day, Wang Haitao ordered to camp on the spot, and the whole army reorganized its military appearance and prepared to leave for Hengyang City the next day. Although Wang Haitao has never met Huang Wei, Wang Haitao's life of Huang Wei is clear, and it is precisely because of this that Wang Haitao ordered the whole army to rectify the military appearance, in order to leave a deep impression on Huang Wei.
