Chapter 375: Independent Second Division

When he returned to Longzhou County, the first thing Wang Haitao did was to find a warehouse, take out all the materials in the storage ring, and then let Tang Renli transport them to the arsenal by truck. And the officers under him, after greeting Wang Haitao, surrounded Wei Erxi and Wang Meili, and Wang Meili was so nervous that he didn't even know where to put his hands.

After all, Wei Erxi and Wang Meili are not married, according to the custom at this time, the two have not even decided on a relationship, Wang Meili naturally cannot go home directly with Wei Erxi, but Wang Meili has no relatives here in Longzhou, Wang Haitao and Wei Hai discussed it, and decided to let Wang Meili live with Tang Lao as his cousin first, and then ask Wei Erxi's family to send a matchmaker to the door as soon as possible.

For this matter, Wang Haitao also deliberately gave Wei Erxi two days off, and Wei Erxi rushed home to discuss with his family. After these chores were completed, Wang Haitao had the time to call the officers above the brigade level of the 90th Army to a meeting. At the meeting, Wang Haitao talked about the experience of going to Shanghai this time, and Wang Haitao did not hide the part of the night theft materials.

Now the fact that Wang Haitao has an artifact that can store things is no longer a secret in the upper echelons of the 90th Army, and even among some well-informed soldiers and grassroots officers, but the 90th Army is the army started by Wang Haitao, and those who know this secret are all people who have believed in Wang Haitao, and these people will not reveal this secret if they die.

Wang Haitao's subordinates were thrilled to learn that there would soon be another infantry division of German-made weapons and equipment to them, as well as a large number of heavy armored vehicles and Cheetah-type tanks. In this era, having weapons means having troops, and the combat effectiveness of a German armor division should not be underestimated. According to Wang Haitao's statement, this batch of weapons and ammunition will arrive in three months at the latest, so the recruitment of troops must start now.

Wang Haitao doesn't have to worry about conscription, Zhao Zhongwu and they are already familiar with the road, in this era of war, even if the war has not yet burned to Guangxi, but there are still poor people in Guangxi. With the gold-lettered signboard and good reputation of the 90th Army, it is not a problem to recruit more than 10,000 people, let alone recruit 100,000 people. In order to improve combat effectiveness, Wang Haitao could only ask the 90th and 93rd Divisions to take out some veterans as the backbone of the newly established division.

The newly established division did not have the number given by Chongqing, and Wang Haitao could only be temporarily called the Second Independent Division, and Wang Haitao was the commander of the division. In addition, the two brothers Wei Hai and Wei Erxi were drawn out from the 90th Division and promoted to the two brigade commanders of the 2nd Independent Division respectively. Then, from the regiment commander to the officers at all levels of the battalion, company, and platoon, the 90th and 93rd divisions were drawn out to make up for it.

The shelf is set up, and Tang Longzai will do the rest of the things, he has been with him for so long, and he has fought so much, if he can't do this thing well, then his uncle will be in vain. Regarding Tang Longzai's ability, Wang Haitao is still relieved. After the meeting, Wang Haitao went to several military camps outside the city to inspect the circle before returning home.

As soon as he entered the door, Wang Haitao felt that the atmosphere at home was a little wrong, the family was sitting in the living room, and even Wang Meili sat there a little tightly, Wang Haitao first saluted Donald, and then greeted Aunt Feng, the strange thing is that Aunt Feng did not give a smile today, but rolled her own eyes. This made Wang Haitao confused, and he didn't know what was going on.

Tang Lao couldn't sit still, and pulled Wang Haitao to the study. Tang Lao, who closed the door, hesitated for a moment before opening his mouth and asked Wang Haitao: "Virtuous son-in-law, the old man has been treating you like a parent and son all these years, you tell the truth to the old man, this Wang girl who came from Shanghai with you, are you going to marry as a second room?" Wang Haitao was stunned for a moment, looked at Tang Lao's serious expression, and then understood what was going on at home today?

Wang Haitao replied to Donald with a smile: "Didn't my father-in-law ask what happened to this Miss Wang?" Tang Lao was also stunned, and hurriedly asked: "The old man doesn't want to ask much, virtuous son-in-law, is there something else to hide?" Wang Haitao smiled: " Father-in-law, this Wang girl is my daughter-in-law who is the head of Wei Erxi Wei has not passed the door, her family is in Shanghai, because of the war is afraid of accidents, so this time I went back to Longzhou County with us, the two of them have not yet decided to marry, Miss Wang is naturally not good to go to Wei's house, and she has no relatives in Longzhou, Haitao let her temporarily live in my place as a cousin, this or two days Wei family will send someone to propose marriage. ”

Tang Lao laughed and said: "Hahaha, I see, my Dao virtuous son-in-law is not the kind of person who doesn't know the severity. In this way, the old man recognized this Wang girl as a righteous daughter, and in the future, the old man sent the Wang girl out as an example of marrying a daughter. After speaking, he smiled and returned to the living room with Wang Haitao. The atmosphere in the living room was still weird, but when Tang Lao smiled and told the story, everyone laughed, and Aunt Feng had already looked at Wang Haitao with a flushed face.

Tang Lao ordered the wine, and at the wine table, Tang Lao recognized Wang Meili as a righteous daughter, Wang Meili was also suffering from being a complete outsider in Longzhou, Tang Lao's actions were in line with her heart, and she worshiped her godfather on the spot, and recognized Feng Gu as her sister. The family drank a reunion wine in the midst of festivities. In the evening, Wang Haitao returned to the bedroom, and Aunt Feng said to Wang Haitao ashamedly: "Brother Haitao, it's all my fault, I shouldn't doubt you for no reason." ”

Wang Haitao didn't mind, but comforted Aunt Feng, after the two went to bed, Aunt Feng snuggled in Wang Haitao's arms, and said softly: "Brother Haitao, I want to give birth to a son for you, we have a son, and after your Wang family has it, my heart will be settled." Aunt Feng's words made Wang Haitao also excited, and the two of them spent a lot of rain on the bed until they were exhausted, and then they hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next day, the matchmaker invited by the Wei family came to the door to propose, Wang Meili and Wei Erxi were already in love, these are just a process, naturally there is nothing difficult to do. In this marriage, Tang Lao really married Wang Meili as a daughter, and the dowry was really prepared, and Wang Meili was really moved to treat Tang Lao as a father. The Wei family is also proud of being a family member of Donald. As for Wei Hai and Wei Erxi, they regard Tang Longzai as brothers, and now that the two have been transferred to Tang Longzai's independent second division, they will naturally better assist Tang Longzai as the commander of this independent second division.

After these things were completed, a month had passed, and Zhao Zhongwu had recruited all the soldiers of the Second Independent Division and put them into training. Seeing that German weapons and equipment would arrive in Shanghai, how to transport these weapons and equipment from Shanghai back to Longzhou became a problem for Wang Haitao to solve. Wang Haitao has the artifact of a storage ring, but the weapons and equipment of an infantry division are no longer what a storage ring can hold, and there will be many heavy trucks, armored vehicles, and tanks arriving with the ship, so it is definitely not possible to rely on a storage ring alone.

According to Wang Haitao's estimate, after the storage ring is filled, the remaining weapons and equipment will be loaded onto more than 10 trucks, and how these more than 10 trucks will drive out of Shanghai and then through the Japanese-occupied areas will become a problem. After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Haitao couldn't come up with a safe and safe method, Wang Haitao simply didn't want to, he planned to go to Shanghai and see this batch of goods, and then make plans.

In the anxious waiting, Wang Haitao finally waited for a telegram from Donald of Lihe Foreign Company, in which Donald told Wang Haitao that the freighter would arrive at the port of Shanghai in half a month, and asked Wang Haitao to go to Shanghai to prepare to receive the supplies. After receiving the telegram, Wang Haitao immediately notified Su Zuxin and others, and asked Tangshan Leopard to arrange a guard battalion to follow him to Shanghai.

The reason why I wanted to take a guard battalion to Shanghai this time was because there would be more than a dozen truckloads of weapons and ammunition to be transported back to Longzhou from Shanghai through the Japanese-occupied areas. Moreover, these soldiers of the guard battalion are also all-rounders, under the adjustment of Tangshan Leopard and others, every veteran, all kinds of guns, and combat vehicles can be used, and they can also have combat effectiveness.

On this trip to Shanghai, Wang Haitao was very cautious, not only did he have a guard battalion, but even a reconnaissance brigade dispatched a company. The guard battalion is led by Tang Yonggang, who has just been promoted to the commander of the regiment, and the soldiers are all elites who have been drawn out. On the reconnaissance company's side, Wei Changxing, who had just been promoted to regiment commander, led this carefully selected reconnaissance company.

After getting ready, Wang Haitao put a Type 62 light tank, a Type 63 130mm self-propelled rocket launcher, and dozens of sets of Japanese military uniforms into the storage ring. Then the group drove ten trucks and one command car out of Longzhou County and headed for Shanghai. Last time, Wang Haitao traveled from Nanchang to Jingdezhen to Shanghai via the mountainous area of southern Anhui.

Now, as far as Wang Haitao knows, the Nationalist Army concentrated the forces of several armies at Wanjialing, between Nanchang and Jiujiang, and beat the brigade of the 106th Division of the Japanese Army very much, and even the commander of the 106th Division, Junrokuro Matsuura, almost lost his life in Wanjialing.

In this case, it is no longer possible to go to Nanchang, Wang Haitao decided to go to Fuzhou, Jiangxi, and then enter Zhejiang Province from Yingtan and Shangrao, and then pass through Zhejiang Province to Shanghai. This road is not only far but also difficult to walk, but only after entering Zhejiang Province can it be regarded as entering the Japanese-occupied area, which will be relatively safe.

After the decision was made, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company took the lead with two trucks and a radio station, and Wang Haitao led the guard battalion and the reconnaissance company to drive dozens of kilometers and follow behind. Along the way, I stopped and stopped, not only encountered the national army troops, Japanese troops, and even encountered mountain bandits and routs. Wang Haitao and his entourage finally entered Zhejiang Province fifteen days later.
