Chapter 422: Making a Fortune (Third Update!) )
"Something must have happened in the direction of Taiyuan!" After Chen Zhengxiang glanced at the direction of Taiyuan City, he said with a frown.
"Captain, this order!" The chief of staff asked hesitantly.
The first detachment has never suffered such losses since it was formed. Now that they are all wounded, the chief of staff does not dare to imagine how many casualties the troops will have to pay if they resist the devils for a day. So, from the bottom of my heart, the chief of staff is resistant to this order!
"Do as you were told!" Chen Zhengxiang also resisted this order.
But he did not forget that he was a soldier and a senior commander of the Eighth Route Army. Although his brows were furrowed, he finally commanded stubbornly.
Although the headquarters said on the telegram that after the battle, the headquarters will give funds and weapons and equipment to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops. However, Chen Zhengxiang did not take it seriously.
As an old revolutionary, Chen Zhengxiang was very aware of the situation at the headquarters.
Unless a windfall falls, the headquarters will certainly not have the funds, weapons and ammunition to support itself.
As for the windfall from the sky, as long as there is no accident, it will definitely not happen to the Eighth Route Army.
After the expression on his face was slowly replaced by firmness, Chen Zhengxiang didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly ordered: "Order all regiments, strengthen the logistics troops, headquarters staff, and clerks to the front-line combat units, and we can only retreat if we hold on for a day early." ”
"Also, divide all the ammunition at the bottom of our box and tell the three regiment commanders to save ammunition as much as possible and reduce casualties!"
"Also, the headquarters will also report on the measures for air raids, and now there are still two or three hours before dawn, and they must be implemented immediately!"
At the Taiyuan Arsenal, more and more workers were temporarily called back to dismantle equipment under the command of technicians and engineers.
Although a few hours have passed, less than 10% of the total number of devices has been dismantled.
"I want to add people! Chief of Staff, inform Brigade Commander Cheng to organize all the political cadres in the army and recruit soldiers in Taiyuan City, both students and young people, and send one to the arsenal if you recruit one, the more the better! Wang Ping was very dissatisfied with the progress of the relocation of the arsenal, and ordered with a frown.
As soon as the chief of staff left, the communications platoon commander rushed over with an excited face.
"The head of the regiment, the headquarters telegraphed, agreed to give us another day to empty Taiyuan. Before ten o'clock tonight, the whole army must withdraw from Taiyuan City! ”
"Okay, finally there's time!" Wang Ping smiled, and smiled very happily.
Immediately found Zhou Zihang and the political commissar of the arsenal and ordered: "Political commissar, Zhou Zihang informs that the relocation of the arsenal will be handed over to you, and before eight o'clock this evening, I will empty the entire arsenal!" Whatever you need, I'll satisfy you! ”
"Cars, a lot of cars!" The commissar replied without thinking.
"A lot of equipment in the arsenal is too heavy, and the big car can't be towed away at all, so you can only use the car. And if we have a car, we will definitely move much faster! ”
For the Eighth Route Army, cars are absolutely rare, and if you search the whole army, you may only be able to find so many seven or eight units.
So, the commissar regretted it after making this request.
But the result was very unexpected, Wang Ping actually agreed, and with a resolute face, it didn't seem like he was fooling himself.
"Give me half an hour, and in half an hour, a car will definitely come to you to report!"
After speaking, Wang Ping walked outside the arsenal, and ordered as he went: "Company Commander Yang, bring me the Imperial Allied Army with the best position in the middle of the prisoners, I have something to ask!" ”
It didn't take long for a battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army to tremble and be dragged in front of Wang Ping.
Wang Ping was not polite, and asked directly: "Cars, I need cars, and I need a lot of cars." You must be very familiar with Taiyuan City, as long as you find me enough for a hundred cars, I promise to let you go! ”
As the capital of Shaanxi Province and the location of the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army, there must be a lot of automobiles whether they are military or civilian.
However, if there is no land snake to help him, he will not be able to find a few cars even if he rummages through the entire outer city of Taiyuan, and it will be very time-consuming!
"Sir, you're not lying!" Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Our Eighth Route Army is a good talker, and we definitely don't lie!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"Okay, I'll do it, I'll help you find a car!"
What made Wang Ping depressed was that just the arsenal was found by the commander of the Imperial Association Army Battalion for more than 30 cars.
This is the car of the arsenal dedicated to the delivery of weapons and ammunition to the front line. Because he belonged to the baggage army, although Zhou Zihang was the deputy director of a branch of the arsenal, he still did not know about the existence of these cars.
"Company Commander Wang, immediately arrange for someone to send these cars to the arsenal and hand them over to the political commissar to transport equipment outside the city. Just transport the stuff to the mountains outside the city, and the rest will be easy! Wang Ping, who was both depressed and excited, immediately ordered the guard company commander.
"Regiment commander, no one in our guard company can drive a car!" The guard company commander said with an embarrassed expression.
Wang Ping's brows furrowed suddenly, but it didn't take long for him to think of a way.
"There must be someone in the puppet army who can drive, go to the puppet army to find it, tell them, help me drive a car for a day, and give me a reward of fifty oceans!"
"There are also workers and students in the arsenal, who often touch the equipment, and there must be someone who will open it, find out all about it!"
Time flies in the busy, and the devil plane who has been arrogant for a day above his head has just left, and the sky is given.
However, the lively arsenal did not quiet down because it was dark.
Not far away, on the inner city wall of Taiyuan City, which was held by the Japanese army, the gunfire was very intense, and a few stray bullets flew over from time to time. However, the tragic battlefield did not affect the relocation of the arsenal.
As soon as Wang Ping walked in, the political commissar rushed over with a relaxed expression.
"Director, there's one last workshop. It's half past six, and at eight o'clock at the latest, the arsenal will surely be emptied by us. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiao rushed over without knowing when, with a smile on his face.
"Lao Wang, we have made a lot of money at the Devil's Taiyuan Airport, and after all the empty weapons that can be removed are removed, there are 36 anti-aircraft machine guns and 12 anti-aircraft guns, which is almost the equipment of an air defense regiment!"
"Also, the harvest in the city is also amazing!"
"Foreign banks, hospitals, banks, and the homes of the Japanese puppet army, there are more than 4.58 million oceans captured alone, and there are also 56 million oceans worth of gold!"
"I have packed all these funds, and arranged a battalion to escort them, and let them be caught in the middle of the retreating troops and rush to the base during the day!"
"As for other supplies, as well as weapons and ammunition, that's more, and it can be described in countless words!"
