This time Wang Haitao's trip to Guangzhou, he experienced danger and suffered losses, but the gains were also huge. He received the most needed batch of heavy weapons from the German freighter alone, especially the fifty 37 mm caliber twin anti-aircraft guns that he accidentally obtained, which solved his urgent need. Wang Haitao asked the arsenal to install these 50 anti-aircraft guns on heavy trucks and turn them into self-propelled anti-aircraft guns, and then added a layer of bulletproof steel plates to the heavy trucks, which were directly handed over to the 210th Division to strengthen air defense.

Twenty heavy armored vehicles were also handed over to the 210th Division to replenish the armored vehicles they had lost in the Battle of Guangzhou. Twenty Gepard tanks were handed over to the armored brigade, from which twenty light tanks were replaced to replenish the 211th division. Since Tang Longzai arrived in Longzhou with this batch of weapons, he has been eyeing the fifty 105-caliber self-propelled howitzers, but Wang Haitao has not let go.

The artillery regiment of the 211th Division was supposed to be inferior to the other divisions, with only 24 85-mm cannons and 24 imitation German-made 75-caliber field guns. In addition, each regiment also had a field artillery battalion. This kind of firepower is much stronger than the artillery fire of a division of the Japanese army, but it is not as good as that of other divisions.

Tang Longzai didn't nod when he saw that Wang Haitao didn't say anything, so he had to find his sister Fenggu, and finally even Fenggu helped Tang Longzai say good things, and Wang Haitao finally agreed to use these fifty self-propelled howitzers to replace the dozens of artillery pieces of the 211th Division Artillery Regiment. Seeing that Wang Haitao agreed, Tang Longzai jumped up and down excitedly, and hurriedly asked his artillery regiment to take these new artillery pieces back to the division, and then went to Tang Hongming and asked Tang Hongming to send artillery to the 211th Division to train his own artillery to operate these new artillery.

The 48 artillery pieces replaced by the 211th Division, together with the 30 Japanese-made Type 96 150-caliber heavy howitzers obtained from the Japanese army's warehouse in Guangzhou, were handed over to the supplementary division by Wang Haitao. At the same time, a large number of Japanese-style munitions were also handed over to the supplementary division. At this time, the supplementary division became an all-Japanese equipment division. Although the weapons and equipment of such a supplementary division were the worst in the 90th Army, they were not worse than the Japanese army's Class B divisions, and their artillery fire was even stronger than the Japanese army's Class A permanent divisions.

After finishing the distribution of weapons, Wang Haitao went to the arsenal again, because the shortage of raw materials could not be solved for the time being, Wang Haitao asked the director of the Rolf factory to stop the production of weapons first. All raw materials are used to produce bullets and shells. The industrial raw materials brought back this time are enough for the gunpowder branch to be used for a while.

With weapons, the supplementary divisions have also been expanded and put into regular training, while other divisions are also actively conducting targeted training. In an expedition to war, several troops have a lot to sum up. Wang Haitao was very pleased to see and felt very pleased with this positive attitude towards everyone, and as long as a unit won a battle or suffered a defeat, as long as it is good at summing up and improving it, it will be able to grow into an invincible division.

The troops were busy, but Wang Haitao was rarely idle, and went to the troops below every day to take a look at the training situation, and if necessary, he would personally give a demonstration class. On this day, Wang Haitao was watching their artillery regiment in the 211th Division, and a guard came to report on the training of the new self-propelled howitzer.

After Wang Haitao came to the headquarters of the 211th Division, Tang Renli was still waiting on the other end of the phone, and after hearing Wang Haitao's voice, he said: "Junzuo, there is an old acquaintance of yours who wants to see you, and I have arranged him to the elegant seat of Guangfu Building.

Tang Renli's phone call made Wang Haitao stunned, Tang Renli has always been very measured, and he must have a reason for arranging it today, but I don't know who wants to see him. In the headquarters of the 211th Division, Wang Haitao didn't ask much, and when he looked at his watch, it was already ten o'clock in the morning, and then said: "You receive it first, I'll be there in an hour." ”

After hanging up the phone, Wang Haitao quietly went around the 211th Division again, saw that the time was almost up, and asked Tangshan Leopard to take two guards and drive straight to Guangfu Building with him.

When he arrived at the gate of Guangfu Building, Wang Haitao got out of the car and saw several guards standing at the door, and several people raised their hands and saluted when they saw Deputy Wang Haitao. The leader stepped forward and said, "Junzuo, Director Tang is waiting for you in the elegant seat on the third floor." Wang Haitao nodded, strode into the store with Tangshan Leopard, and then went straight to the third floor. There were two more guards at the staircase on the third floor, and Tang Renli made such a big battle, Wang Haitao was even more curious about which big man he wanted to meet.

Leaving the two guards who came with him at the staircase, Wang Haitao and Tangshan Leopard walked towards the elegant seat. When he came to the door of the elegant seat, Tangshan Leopard lifted the curtain, and Wang Haitao walked in. In the private seat, Tang Renli was talking with a man in a long robe, the man had his back to the door, and Wang Haitao didn't recognize who it was. Tang Renli saw Wang Haitao coming in, got up and greeted: "Junzao, you are here." The man also stood up and turned around.

Wang Haitao was stunned when he saw it, the person who came was his grandfather Wang Weikuan in his previous life. Wang Weikuan stood there, looking at Wang Haitao with a smile on his face, seeing Wang Haitao stunned there, he asked with a smile: "Why haven't you seen me for two years, Brother Haitao doesn't recognize me?"

Wang Haitao came back to his senses at this time, swallowed "grandpa" to his lips again, and shouted again: "Old Wang, how can it be you? Don't bring a letter first, I'll pick you up!" Wang Weikuan's smile became even bigger, and he said: "Brother Haitao is now a general, but he is much more than my official, how dare I let you pick me up!"

Wang Haitao also smiled and said: "Lao Wang, you are scolding me, although I have been separated from your New Fourth Army for more than two years, I have never dared to forget you brothers, are they all okay now, Commander Ye, Political Commissar Xiang, Chief of Staff Zhang, Commander Chen, and Deputy Commander Su?

Unlike history, the "Southern Anhui Incident" that shocked the whole country in history has not happened until now, but Lao Chiang's mind to deal with the New Fourth Army has always been there. Wang Haitao also learned through the intelligence network that in southern Anhui, there was no small friction between several Kuomintang troops and the New Fourth Army. Wang Haitao's series of questions made Wang Weikuan not know which one to answer first, or Tang Renli said: "Military seat, sit down first and speak slowly." Wang Haitao and Wang Weikuan sat around the dinner table.

Wang Weikuan gave a detailed account of the situation of the New Fourth Army in the past two years, and because of Wang Haitao's care, the New Fourth Army has not only greatly improved its weaponry and equipment, but also expanded the territory it has occupied a lot, and after joining forces with Commander Gao Jingting's fourth detachment, the number of troops has reached nearly 20,000.

Wang Haitao's little Japan in southern Anhui was frightened, and for a long time he did not dare to send troops to the mountainous areas of southern Anhui. The opponents of the New Fourth Army also became several Kuomintang troops in the surrounding areas. Fortunately, the ranks of the New Fourth Army have grown, the weapons and equipment are not bad, and the territory is not small, and a few Kuomintang troops only dare to play a few tricks, and do not dare to clash with the New Fourth Army head-on. In general, in the past two years, southern Anhui has been relatively calm.

The central authorities made some adjustments to the personnel of the New Fourth Army, and Xiang Ying, political commissar, was transferred to the Shandong Military Region, with Chen Yi taking over as political commissar, and Li Yu as the commander of the first detachment, and a new fifth detachment was rebuilt, and now Wang Weikuan is the commander of the fifth detachment. Wang Haitao nodded incessantly while listening to Wang Weikuan's speech, he was sincerely happy that the New Fourth Army could develop within two years. Before I knew it, an hour passed, and the owner of the restaurant personally brought the food and drinks.

Everyone ate and talked, the atmosphere was good, and Wang Haitao and they took turns to toast Wang Weikuan at the table. After being full of wine and food, the companion took down the dishes and sent tea, and then Wang Haitao asked Wang Weikuan's intention.

Wang Weikuan replied: "Don't hide it from Brother Haitao, brother, I asked to come to the door this time!" Wang Haitao said in his heart: "Grandpa, you have come to the door in person, and my grandson has to deal with everything!" But he still said: "Lao Wang, if there is anything you can do, as long as I can help, there will be no second words!"

Wang Weikuan hesitated, but Wang Haitao became anxious and asked, "Is there a shortage of weapons and ammunition?" I will prepare them for you immediately!" Wang Haitao's somewhat abnormal performance surprised Tang Renli. Wang Weikuan replied: "Brother Haitao, we are not short of weapons and ammunition, and you can replenish some of them in Jurong's arsenal." Since Brother Haitao really wants to help us, I'll be blunt, I'm here for penicillin this time!"

As soon as Wang Haitao heard that penicillin was coming, he didn't think about it and responded: "Okay, how much do you want?" Wang Haitao's reaction made Tang Renli and Wang Weikuan stunned, and it took a while for Tang Renli to react, and hurriedly leaned into Wang Haitao's ear and whispered: "Military seat, think twice! This penicillin is supervised by the people of the Military Control Bureau, and it is difficult to even give much to the needs of the army!"

Wang Weikuan didn't expect Wang Haitao to agree, and asked how much he wanted, but it was not easy to answer, before he came, he knew that the penicillin army was under strict control, and there was a point on the market that was to be exchanged for gold, if it wasn't for the central government's great need, he wouldn't have made this trip at all. I was ready to be rejected before I came.

Wang Haitao listened to Tang Renli's words, frowned, and said: "The New Fourth Army is not the Chinese army? The Communist Party's troops are not resisting Japan? They are all Chinese troops, and they are all for the purpose of resisting Japan, so why can't penicillin be given to them?" Tang Renli was anxious when he heard this, and said: "Military seat, be quiet, this makes people listen to it, and if the hat of the Communist Party is pressed down, it will be troublesome!"

When Wang Haitao heard this, he became even more angry and scolded: "I'm afraid of a fart! I don't want his old Jiang's, and second, I don't want his old Jiang's, penicillin is still made by me, can his old Jiang forget me? Remove me as a general? Without the commander's hat, I won't lead troops to fight Little Japan?" Tang Renli said in his heart when he heard this: "This military seat is a little wrong today, yes, it's better if I don't open my mouth." ”

At this time, Wang Weikuan spoke, "Brother Haitao, I also know that this matter is very difficult to do, the Military Control Bureau is very strict about this, I heard that Lao Jiang gave Director Dai a death order, if penicillin flows into the hands of Japan, he will not be able to sit in the position of Director Dai." Therefore, the Military Command Bureau stared at it with wide eyes! I had no other way to find Brother Haitao. ”

Wang Haitao also calmed down at this time, and said: "That's it, Lao Wang, you live in my house first, and I'll explore the way to see how I can get more penicillin, anyway, I won't let you go back empty-handed." Wang Weikuan's heart was overjoyed, and he agreed at that time. After a few people left the restaurant, Wang Haitao arranged for Tangshan Leopard to send Wang Weikuan to the palace, and he and Tang Renli went to the military headquarters together.
