Chapter 227: Heavy Artillery Arrives in Beijing

readx;? In the office, Wang Haitao said to Tang Renli: "Renli, I don't know when I will be able to come back when I go back to Nanjing this time, and I will hand over all the fundamental places of Longzhou to you." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info you have to do a few things here, one is to continue to recruit, don't worry about the number of people, weapons and ammunition are provided by the arsenal, in the future, you can send some to me when there are more people, from now on the weapons and ammunition produced by the Longzhou Arsenal, unless I call you to transfer, otherwise it will no longer be shipped to me.

Second, it is necessary to manage the arsenal and other units well. I am about to build a pharmaceutical factory in Tangjia Village, Evil Tiger Mountain, the construction of this pharmaceutical factory and the purchase of machinery and equipment are jointly responsible for you and my father-in-law, if there is a shortage of equipment in China, you can go to Guangzhou to find Hans manager, he will help solve it, and the drugs produced are partly supplied to Longzhou Hospital, partly in stock, and partly delivered to me.

Third, trade with the United States and Great Britain will continue, and as for the money, I will take care of it, and I will let the convoy that delivered to me escort it back. The soldiers I brought back this time, except for the platoon that remained in Guangzhou, I took another reconnaissance platoon, and the rest of the men were left to you to train recruits and serve as officers.

Now that little Japan has invaded China in an all-out way, the land of Guangxi will not be spared, you must be vigilant, if it is not right, stay in the mountains and retreat, and do not fight hard with the Japanese army. Factories and workers need to be protected. Also, if there is anything that needs to be kept secret, you can change the radio station and password and send me a telegram, and I will receive it regularly, and don't say confidential things when you send a report to the army's radio station. ”

After explaining these things, Wang Haitao gave Tang Renli a radio band and a new set of passwords, and handed over the money in the storage ring to Tang Renli except for leaving a million oceans and 300 kilograms of gold bars, not counting a few tons of gold, even nearly 10 million oceans are enough for Tang Renli to use for a while.

After arranging the affairs of the barracks, Wang Haitao returned home, and told Tang Lao and them that they would leave for Nanjing on the tenth day of the new year, and that they would have to go out tomorrow and that they would be back in a few days. Early the next morning, Wang Haitao left the county seat of Longzhou in a jeep and walked to the munitions warehouse in the mountains again.

Like last time, Wang Haitao put the jeep into the storage ring in a no-man's land, and then spent a day and a half entering the arms warehouse. In the first warehouse, a small half of the weapons and ammunition had already been transported, and considering that there were still heavy weapons, Wang Haitao only took enough light weapons to equip 5,000 people, as well as ammunition. A large number of Chinese marks on weapons have to be removed, which is the most time-consuming, Wang Haitao was moving when cleaning up the weapons marking, can you let Silver No. 1 do this after collecting the storage ring?

Wang Haitao put a few weapons that had not been marked off into the storage ring, and then his thoughts also entered the storage ring. Sure enough, as soon as he entered, Silver One's voice rang out: "Master, you are here." The Silver One serves the owner. Wang Haitao picked up a weapon and said what he requested, and asked Silver One if he could do it.

Silver One replied, "It's easy to do this, master, I'll just use the photon generator on my body to swipe it lightly." After saying that, one of the tentacles on the command machine grabbed a weapon, and then emitted a bright light from a certain part, and the bright light swept through the marked places on the weapon, and those marks immediately disappeared, becoming a flat plane. ”

Wang Haitao shouted happily: "Great! This can save a lot of time." He asked, "Can you sweep big things?" and Silver One replied, "Master, anything that can fit into the storage space can be swept." Wang Haitao said happily: "Okay, I will put a lot of things in soon, you can help me sweep each one." Silver One replied, "It's a blessing for Silver One to be able to serve his master." ”

After exiting the space, Wang Haitao looked at the piles of weapons and smiled. The following things are simple, just look at what you need and just put in the storage ring. After the small arms and mortars were retrieved from the first warehouse, only a third of the original items were stored in the first warehouse. After searching the entire warehouse again and finding no more passages and secret doors, Wang Haitao came to the second warehouse.

The last time he came was limited, Wang Haitao didn't have time to count the number of weapons, this time there was enough time, Wang Haitao began to count the number of heavy weapons. After counting all day, Wang Haitao finished counting, and looked at the numbers in the record book, Wang Haitao was surprised and delighted. There are really a lot of heavy weapons in this warehouse, mainly artillery.

The largest number of millimeter cannons reached 70, and according to the 12 guns of a battalion, Wang Haitao collected 40 guns, and the artillery shells mainly collected 40,000 rounds of anti-personnel and explosive grenades and 40,000 rounds of anti-personnel and explosive grenades. The second is the Type 66 152 mm howitzer and the millimeter towed howitzer, each with 50 pieces, Wang Haitao collected 24 pieces of each type of artillery, and 10,000 rounds of various shells.

After these weapons are loaded, only a quarter of the space is left in the storage ring, and it seems that the truck used to haul the artillery cannot be loaded anymore, because Wang Haitao still has other weapons to load. After the artillery was loaded, Wang Haitao first loaded the remaining 20 Gaoping dual-purpose twin heavy machine guns and a large number of bullets from the last installation, and then the tank.

Now there are ten Type 59 heavy tanks and fifteen Type 62 light tanks left in the warehouse, and all of these tanks Wang Haitao have been put into storage rings. There are also five self-propelled rocket launchers, although Wang Haitao also wants to take them away, but first, there is not enough space, and second, there are only five that are not very useful, so he simply does not bring them.

The remaining space Wang Haitao brought a large number of various mines, like anti-infantry jumping mines, not only small in size but also extremely practical on the battlefield, more than ten such mines are enough to make the enemy in front of the position dare not act rashly, it can also use a very small size, evade the enemy's artillery fire, it is really a weapon for defense.

After filling all the storage rings, Wang Haitao looked at the materials that still had half of the warehouse and sighed, the storage rings were still too small, and he didn't know when he would come to the warehouse next time. Four days passed, and Wang Haitao could only leave the warehouse. When Wang Haitao returned to Longzhou County, it was the ninth day of the first lunar month, and all the people were ready to set off, and all the materials and equipment to be taken away were also loaded. Because there were 1,000 soldiers accompanying them, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company brought by Wang Haitao became the officers who led the team, except for the reconnaissance platoon that came out.

First, in order to test the training level of these soldiers, and second, to let these soldiers have a long-distance marching experience, Wang Haitao did not ask Tang Renli to send a car, but ordered them to rush to Guangzhou City within three days at the speed of a rapid march. Early in the morning on the tenth day of the first lunar month, Wang Haitao bid farewell to Tang Lao, Tang Renli and others, and set off with Fenggu, Tian Yu and Jobs, as well as engineers and technicians, as well as more than 1,000 soldiers.

Fenggu and Tian Yu got into jeeps, Jobs and engineers and technicians got into thirty trucks that hauled goods and equipment, while Wang Haitao took the soldiers on foot. The vehicles were escorted by a reconnaissance platoon, and after arriving at the outskirts of Guangzhou, they were responsible for making contact with the guard platoon left behind and then waiting for Wang Haitao's arrival.

Wang Haitao was very satisfied with the effect of the three-day rapid march, and this group of soldiers received very good physical training in Longzhou, and no one complained of being tired during the three-day rapid march, no one fell behind, and no one escaped. And looking at them, they are not yet at the limit of their physical strength. It seems that the physical fitness of this group of fighters is very good.

After Wang Haitao arrived in Guangzhou, he selected 200 soldiers who could drive vehicles to go to the port of Guangzhou, where there were 50 10-wheeled trucks with heavy artillery and 100 20-mm German-made anti-aircraft guns mounted on heavy trucks. In addition, there are 50 truckloads of new German-made weapons, which are mainly German-made light and heavy machine guns and dozens of German-made 80-millimeter mortars, as well as some submachine guns, which the Germans call assault rifles.

After returning the warehouse, Wang Haitao led this huge convoy out of Guangzhou City. It turned out that on the third day of the first lunar month, the Japanese army mobilized a large number of troops and suddenly launched an attack on our Wufu defense line, and Nanjing asked Wang Haitao to rush back to the troops immediately and stand by.

The last urgent telegram was sent by Chen Cheng, commander of the 19th Group Army, in the morning, saying that the entire Wufu defense line was under fierce fighting, and the Japanese army was attacking fiercely, fearing that the Wufu defense line would not be able to hold it for a long time, and asked Wang Haitao to rush back to the troops and make preparations to support the Xicheng defense line. Wang Haitao immediately sent a telegram back to Nanjing, receiving a large number of German-made artillery pieces, and is now rushing back to Nanjing at full speed, and is expected to arrive in Nanjing within 20 days.

Replying to the call, Wang Haitao asked all the soldiers to get into the car and rushed to Nanjing at full speed. The vehicle full of munitions is not as easy as the empty car when it comes, it is like a truck towing heavy artillery, and the ordinary bridge cannot bear its weight at all, so it took 22 days to approach the city of Nanjing, because it is difficult to cross the Yangtze River, so it is from Nanchang to Jingdezhen to Tongling and Wuhu.

When he arrived in Liyang, Wang Haitao arranged for Fenggu and Tian Yu to enter the city, and arranged for a vehicle carrying the personnel and equipment of the arsenal to be escorted by the reconnaissance platoon to the Jurong base. As soon as they arrived at the city gate, the people of the Nanjing Guard Division were already waiting for Wang Haitao, and asked Wang Haitao to go directly to the Gulou Square, where the government officials were already waiting.

When a huge convoy of 200 heavy trucks entered the city along the Zhonghua Gate of Yuhuatai along the main road and went straight to the Drum Tower, the heroic appearance of heavy artillery along the way attracted hundreds of people to stop and cheer. When the convoy drove into the Drum Tower Square, the square was already under martial law, and the military and political dignitaries headed by Chiang Kai-shek were already waiting here.
