Wang Haitao and Wang Weikuan chatted for a while about the aftermath, because Wang Haitao had just come back, Wang Weikuan knew that Wang Haitao and Feng Gu were newlyweds, so they stopped talking first. Wang Haitao arranged a guest room for Wang Weikuan to live in, and then returned to the bedroom, where Feng Gu was already waiting for Wang Haitao in the bedroom. The two were separated for a few more months, and at this time they naturally exchanged lovesickness. After sleeping, it is naturally dry firewood, and the fire brings spring to the house.

Wang Haitao could have rested the next day, but he was extremely self-disciplined and got up early in the morning, and Wang Haitao thought about today's itinerary when he was having breakfast. After breakfast, Tangshan Leopard and a guard drove to the door, and Wang Haitao went to the arsenal at the first stop. In the past two months or so, the arsenal has had sufficient raw materials, and in order to ensure the needs of the war, it has also worked overtime to produce all kinds of ammunition, and now that Wang Haitao's troops have returned to Longzhou, the arsenal is also relieved.

Wang Haitao is very grateful to Rolf, the German factory director, and it can be said that without Rolf's dedicated help, the arsenal would not have today's achievements. After the battle of Changsha was fought, a lot of weapons and equipment were lost, and ammunition consumption was also very large, and all of this had to be replenished by the arsenal as soon as possible. There are also supplementary divisions left in Longzhou that are not fully equipped, and these also have to rely on the arsenal.

Through Tang Renli's report, Wang Haitao learned that after the Japanese army intercepted a German freighter that was smuggling arms to Qinzhou Port by chance, although they did not dare to do anything to the German crew on the freighter, they also confiscated the guns and ammunition on the freighter, and protested against the German government through the ambassador. At the same time, the naval blockade of the coastal area of the port of Qinzhou was once again strengthened.

Wang Haitao is not afraid of any small Japan on land, but there is no way to take small Japan at sea, even if the United States does not rebuild the Pacific Fleet, it has no way to take small Japan. Now that the arms smuggled into the country by Germany have basically stopped, the supply of more than a dozen German armor divisions of the national army has become a problem, and it is impossible to provide ammunition for more than a dozen divisions by relying on Wang Haitao's Longzhou Arsenal alone, not to mention that the source of raw materials for the arsenal will soon become a problem again.

As soon as Wang Haitao arrived at the arsenal, Rolf greeted him, and after a few words of cold noise, Rolf led Wang Haitao to his office and sat down. Now that Rolf has lived in China for several years and is becoming more and more like a Chinese in every way, after taking a sip of tea, Rolf began to report to Wang Haitao on the factory situation in the past two months, as well as some production data.

After patiently listening to Rolf's report, Wang Haitao asked a few questions he was concerned about: First, how many raw materials are still there? Second, how long can these raw materials be produced under normal production? Third, what methods can be obtained for production of raw materials? Rolf's answer made Wang Haitao secretly surprised, now there are not many raw materials in stock, and only half of the batch of raw materials that Wang Haitao got back from Guangzhou last time is left, and these raw materials can only be produced for four months under normal conditions.

In terms of production raw materials, Rolf and his family have already figured out a way, but the raw materials purchased from China cannot be compared with imported raw materials in terms of quality, and they can barely make ammunition, but they can't produce firearms. Wang Haitao thought for a moment and asked, "Director Rolf, if you use bullets or shells to reload gunpowder, can you produce ammunition?"

Rolf thought for a moment and replied: "Boss, theoretically it is possible, but the quality of the reloaded bullets will be much worse, and the probability of jamming or dumbing fire with this kind of bullet will be greatly increased, and the wear and tear of the firearm will also be aggravated." Wang Haitao said: "Director of the Rolf factory, I can't help it, so you try to use the purchased domestic materials to produce ammunition, and at the same time reload a batch of bullets, and the remaining imported raw materials are only used to produce firearms." I will try my best to find a way to get some imported raw materials. ”

After reaching a consensus with Rolf, Wang Haitao inspected the factory again accompanied by Rolf, and it was noon when everything was done, Wang Haitao had a simple lunch in the canteen of the arsenal before driving to the supplementary division. The supplementary division was nominally to supplement the battle losses of several main divisions, but in fact it is now a fully manned division with 15,000 men, except that most of the equipment is Japanese-style weapons, and the rest of the training is the same as that of the main division.

Wang Haitao drove to the outside of the camp of the Waichong Division, and the division commander Wei Hai and his two brigade commanders greeted him. Wei Hai saluted Wang Haitao, and after Wang Haitao returned the salute, Wei Hai said: "Military seat, you are back, this time the military seat must solve the problem of our division's change of clothes." Wang Haitao replied: "Let's go to your division headquarters first, and I will talk to you about the costume change later." ”

The group came to the division headquarters of the supplementary division and sat down, Wei Hai first asked about the process of the Changsha battle, Wang Haitao said all the important ones to a few people, and Wei Hai and others were fascinated by it. After Wang Haitao finished speaking, Wei Hai said: "Military seat, you must bring our division with you next time you go on an expedition." Wang Haitao said with a smile: "It's okay to fight if you want to, but first let me see how effective your division is." One division of my army must be able to deal with one or even two divisions of small Japan. ”

Wei Hai said: "Junza, my soldiers are fine, but the Japanese weapons now equipped have been thrown down by other divisions, as long as Junzao gives our division another equipment, I guarantee that the combat effectiveness of our division will never be worse than other divisions." Wang Haitao glanced at Wei Hai and said, "Wei Hai, there may be no way to change the equipment for your division in a short period of time." At present, there is a serious shortage of raw materials for the production of military factories, and the guns produced must ensure the replenishment and wear and tear of the main division, so there is really no way to take out the equipment of a division to reequip your division at once. ”

Wang Haitao's words made Wei Hai and the others feel cold for a while, and Wang Haitao looked at the dejected looks of several people, and couldn't help but say: "What's the matter? Without new equipment, you can't fight? Look at what kind of weapons those local troops and the CCP troops use, aren't they still fighting bloody battles against little Japan? Your equipment is on par with the main division of the Central Army, not to mention the reinforced artillery, which is much stronger than other troops, so why can't you fight?"

Wang Haitao's words made Wei Hai and the others have a fever on their faces. Wang Haitao said in a different tone: "In this Changsha Campaign, we have captured a lot of Japanese equipment, tomorrow you go to Director Tang to select a batch of good ones, and use them to supplement them, and tell you that there are a lot of artillery in the captured equipment, and others will pick it up if you go late, don't complain." ”

Wei Hai and the others were in good spirits, Wei Hai didn't wait for tomorrow, and immediately sent Xue Dayong, the commander of his brigade, to take the trucks of the logistics regiment and go to Tang Renli to grab equipment. In fact, Wang Haitao had already agreed with Tang Renli about this batch of equipment and handed it over to the supplementary brigade for use, and other divisions could not use these Japanese-style equipment. The rest will be handed over to Tang Renli to deal with, and Tang Renli can sell these equipment for a good price.

Wang Haitao then inspected the training and living conditions of the supplementary division, accompanied by Wei Hai and others. Wang Haitao was quite satisfied with the training of the supplementary division, the soldiers trained very seriously, and the officers did not relax their training requirements because they were supplementary divisions. Whether it is tactical drills or individual soldier skills, they are no worse than those of the Central Army. The officers and men are also full of spirit, spirit, and spirit.

It wasn't until dinner that Wang Haitao returned to the military headquarters, and Tang Renli and Tang Renxin were waiting for Wang Haitao at the military headquarters. Seeing Wang Haitao coming back, as soon as everyone sat down, Tang Renxin said: "Junzao, your telegram to Chongqing said that the Japanese army invaded Guangxi from the direction of Vietnam, and now the border is calm, and Chongqing is not a fool, I'm afraid it won't be able to get through, right?"

Wang Haitao thought for a while and said: "This matter is easy to do, let the 93rd Division first garrison Pingxiang County, build fortifications south of Pingxiang County, stimulate the Japanese army in Vietnam, and see how the Japanese army reacts." Su Zuxin asked: "Military seat, Pingxiang Town is the Gui Army Defense Area, as far as I know, there is the 392nd Regiment of the 131st Division of the 31st Army stationed there, you sent the 93rd Army over, do you want to say hello to Nanning first?"

Wang Haitao replied: "It's still the chief of staff of the Su family who thinks thoughtfully, so let's work hard for the chief of staff of the Su to go to Nanning, and choose some of the captured Japanese equipment as gifts.

Everyone chatted and talked about Chongqing's injustice to themselves, Tang Renli said angrily: "The military seat is bent on doing things with little Japan, and Chongqing has already made compromises, and the weapons and ammunition that are paid to Chongqing every year are not a small number, and the good pharmaceutical factory, Chongqing took it all away in a word, and did not give any compensation. ”

Tang Renxin also said: "Yes, Junzuo, you haven't come back yet, Chongqing ordered the dismantling of the 90th Army, everyone knows what kind of heart this is An, Junzuo didn't agree, if you do, then I'm afraid the next step will be to deal with you Junzao." Commander, let's do it ourselves, we don't have to listen to the command of Chongqing, what do you think?"

Wang Haitao replied: "If you want to dismantle my 90th Army, you have to ask me if I agree, and I also want to ask the tens of thousands of brothers in my 90th Army if they agree." However, it is not yet the time to completely turn the face with Chongqing, and when it turns its face with Chongqing, I am afraid that the happiest one is Little Japan. I Wang Haitao doesn't do this kind of thing where relatives are painful and hatred is fast. ”

Seeing that everyone was listening to him, Wang Haitao lowered his voice and said: "There is a news, I won't hide it from you today, the CCP really hopes that we can pass, and I am also a little hesitant." Do you have any ideas?" Su Zuxin first said: "Junzao, I heard that the conditions on the CCP's side are difficult, and there are many rules, can we stand it in the past?"
