Chapter 112: Two to Shanghai

readx;? On December 15, 1936, Wang Haitao boarded a passenger ship bound for Shanghai from Guangzhou with only two guards and plainclothes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Five days later, when Wang Haitao arrived at the villa in Shanghai, some of the soldiers sent in advance had already arrived.

Wang Haitao only learned after meeting Wei Erxi and listening to his report that at this time, the soldiers in Wei Erxi's hands had grown from a company of 130 people to more than 400 people. Wang Haitao clearly saw the shadow of the Communist Party in some of the new fighters. Sure enough, a large part of these people joined in after being introduced by Yun Yiqun.

Hearing this, Wang Haitao couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said in his heart: It seems that the Communist Party really plans to pull all this team over. So Wang Haitao asked Wei Erxi to find a soldier who was obviously a Communist, and after everyone retreated, Wang Haitao said to him: "I know your identity, don't worry, although I am an officer of the Kuomintang, but I am a different officer from others, I want to see your person in charge, you help me pass a message, let him come to see me in three days." ”

The man wanted to say something, but after thinking about it for a while, he still didn't say anything, and bowed and withdrew.

At this time, Wang Haitao immediately organized soldiers to dig the basement in the compound. Hundreds of fighters, working in a company of shifts, finally dug a large enough basement in the ground of the courtyard in three days. After being connected to water and electricity, this is not only a warehouse, but also a garrison.

With this basement, Wang Haitao took advantage of the fact that there was no one and unloaded all the munitions, weapons and equipment in the storage ring. And when the soldiers saw the basement full of munitions and weapons, and even heavy weapons such as armored vehicles and tank cars, plus dozens of mortars, they were stunned.

Wang Haitao couldn't explain, and he didn't want to explain, so he dropped a sentence: "Hurry up and familiarize yourself with the use of heavy weapons." After that, under the strange gaze of the soldiers, he resolutely left, and as for leaving, the discussion of the soldiers did not matter.

On the fourth day, all the 500 newly sent soldiers arrived, and in the compound, Wang Haitao gathered all the officers and men and held a short meeting, at which he demanded that no matter whether they were veterans of the independent brigade or new recruits, they had only one requirement, that is, to obey their own orders, to do a good job in training before the battle and to use all weapons skillfully, and that the recruits should be guided and taught by veterans. It is necessary to form combat effectiveness in a short period of time. At the same time, he also gave them the number of an independent battalion directly under the independent brigade, and promoted Wei Erxi to be the commander of the independent battalion.

In the afternoon of that day, a guard came to report, and a person named Yun Yiqun asked to see him outside the door. When Wang Haitao saw Yun Yiqun in the reception room, Yun Yiqun stretched out his hand to Wang Haitao with a smile on his face, and said at the same time: "Thank you, General Wang." If it weren't for your news, Shen Junru and Mr. Li Gongpu would be in trouble. ”

Wang Haitao smiled and said: "It's a trivial matter, it's a gesture, you're welcome, Mr. Yun, please take a seat." After the two sat down, the maid brought tea, and after Wang Haitao asked everyone to withdraw, he looked at Yun Yiqun and said, "Does Mr. Yun believe me now?"

Yun Yiqun said: "Of course we believe in General Wang. ”

Wang Haitao continued: "Well, I want to tell you that in half a year, Japan will have a full-scale invasion of China, and this Shanghai will also become a battlefield, and I have invested so much manpower and material resources in Shanghai to seize the opportunity in this battle of Shanghai." ”

As soon as Wang Haitao said this, he was interrupted by Yun Yiqun with a shocked face. Yun Yiqun asked: "Wait a minute, I'm sorry General Wang, let me interrupt, you said that in half a year, the Japanese will invade China in a full-scale way, where did this news come from?

Wang Haitao said with a serious face: "You don't need to ask the source, but this is absolutely reliable." I've put a lot of effort into preparing for this war. Come with me. After speaking, Wang Haitao came to the basement with a shocked look on his face.

When Yun Yiqun saw the munitions and heavy weapons in the basement, they were like armored vehicles and tank vehicles, and they were really frightened. As an underground worker, when did you really see these heavy weapons, let alone the most advanced heavy weapons in the world.

At this time, Wang Haitao's voice sounded in Yun Yiqun's ears again: "I have no objection to you sending your people to my troops, and I don't even oppose your people to propagate communist ideas in my troops, but I have a requirement for your people, that is, from now on, they must completely obey and accept the command and training of me and my subordinate officers, and absolutely obey the orders of their superiors in battle, which cannot be violated."

You know, your men may be good in many ways, but they will never be better than the warriors I have trained in battle. The rigorous training for them now is to make them better able to survive in future battles. If you can't accept this request, ask them to leave my team, and you have to make this clear to your people. ”

At this time, Yun Yi Qunsi recovered from the shock, and after listening to Wang Haitao's words, he said: "General Wang, please rest assured, everyone who enters the army will obey the command of you and your subordinate officers, and the orders of the superiors must be obeyed unconditionally, which is the same requirement in our place." ”

Wang Haitao nodded and said: "Since you can send someone into my team, then you should also know and investigate my situation, so I won't say more, I just tell you, please tell your superiors, if necessary, just send someone to me, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." ”

After sending Yun Yiqun away, looking at the nail army that he had buried with all his heart in Shanghai, Wang Haitao nodded with satisfaction. In the evening, Wang Haitao summoned Wei Erxi and several officers to have a small meeting together, and after explaining their affairs and requirements in Shanghai, Wang Haitao's affairs in Shanghai were successfully completed, and the next day, he quietly returned to Nanning.

When Wang Haitao returned to Binyang County, it was December 29, and the Xi'an Incident was resolved peacefully, and the whole country was celebrating. The county magistrate of Binyang County also came to the barracks with local big merchants, squires, celebrities and other people to work in the barracks. During the more than half a year that Wang Haitao's troops were stationed in Binyang County, they had strict military discipline, did not commit any offences against the people, and they were fair traders, and never bullied and defaulted on payments to merchants, so they won unanimous praise from all walks of life in Binyang County.

This labor army is a spontaneous action organized by all walks of life in Binyang County. Under the leadership of the county magistrate of Binyang County, the group beat gongs and drums and came to the barracks with condolences. Wang Haitao and Su Zuxin came forward to receive the condolences of this group, and Wang Haitao could feel from the words that the gratitude of this group to their troops was sincere.

Think about it, although the military discipline of the troops stationed in the past is okay, but the troops with insufficient military spending squeeze the merchants, and the payment arrears still often happen. There are a few people like Wang Haitao who are so wealthy that not only do they not oppress merchants, but they also buy and sell in real gold and silver, never default on payments, and even the soldiers use a full amount of silver dollars to buy things. How could this not make the merchants look at Wang Haitao's troops indiscriminately.
