Chapter 453, Autumn Counteroffensive 11
"Retreat, retreat." The commander of the Devil Brigade hurriedly ordered. "Retreat, all retreat." The captain of the devil's wing and the officers at all levels howled loudly.
"Report, report to the division commander, the reinforcements we just arrived were attacked by Qin Siyu's rockets, the specific number of casualties is unknown, but there may not be much left." The devil's communications soldier hurriedly called Tokugawa Sukeyuki back.
Tokugawa Sukeyuki was still on the way, and when he heard the news, the depression that had been suppressed for many days turned into a mouthful of blood spurting out, and the reinforcements that had just arrived were attacked again, and his Tokugawa division was finished in this way, and if it was spread to Japan, the Tokugawa family would definitely be ridiculed, and everyone else was winning, and he was alone in losing the war.
The devils were bombed so badly that the devil officers hurriedly ordered the team to retreat, and they could only retreat to Qinhuangdao, and the wounded soldiers of the devils were no one to take care of, because the devil doctors were also scared away, and the remaining devils were less than 3,000, and they all ran down like rabbits.
"Order the field artillery to retreat to Qinhuangdao quickly." The new wing commander suddenly remembered that the field artillery was building an artillery position? Immediately said to his communications soldier.
"Hayi, Hayi." The devil communication soldiers are already stupid, they have never seen this kind of scene at all, even the field artillery has not hit such a perfect surface kill, what kind of weapon is this rocket artillery?
The Devil's Field Artillery Squadron had not yet been set up, they could not see that their positions had been bombed, they could only hear the sound of explosions, and when they received the order of the signal soldiers, they were taken aback, and immediately disassembled them, hung them on the car, and the ammunition was also re-moved to the car, and they hurriedly fled to Qinhuangdao.
The hesitation distance is far, no matter how fast Qin Siyu and their speed is, they can't catch up with this gang of devils who are running desperately, and the soldiers who rushed down began to use their guns to replenish the guns of those injured devil soldiers, because there are too many wounded soldiers of the devils, and even replenishing the guns has become a very cool thing.
"Spare your life, spare your life, we have lost our combat effectiveness." Many devils have already collapsed, and the sudden attack has made them lose confidence. "Spare your mother's eggs, do you have a repentant conscience? These brutes. Qin Siyu roared.
Liu Guofang took the soldiers to replenish their guns one by one, and was depressed by the devil yesterday, and this moment was released, thinking that the little devil was killed all the way from northern Hebei to Shandong, and on the road he killed anyone he saw, and arrested him when he saw a woman, Liu Guofang's heart was full of anger.
"These beasts, do you want to spare your life at this time?" Liu Guofang was furious, saw that there was a gasoline barrel next to him, ran to the gasoline barrel and was about to roll over a gasoline barrel, and was about to stab it down, but was stopped by a Dongfeng Express person.
"Can we use all this gasoline?" The soldier said. "Then you take it." Liu Guofang was stunned for a moment, then took out a grenade and stuffed it into the mouth of a devil captain, and his teeth were broken. "No, yes, no." The captain of the devil team couldn't say anything at all, and Liu Guofang thought that what he wanted to say should be like this.
"Boom", Liu Guofang took out the small pistol on his waist and shot the grenade directly, the devil's head was blown into powder, and blood was splashed everywhere.
Qin Siyu took the opportunity to cover Wang Dan's eyes and walked to the other side, so many brothers died, these people have emotions in their hearts, he can understand it, and he will not stop it, the devils have not done anything, they just use violence to counter violence.
And soldiers have always been violent machines, and it is the mission of soldiers to do whatever violence is for the sake of national interests. "Count the number of people killed by the little devils and see how many little devils are left." Liu Guofang began to smoke, and his anger finally began to calm down.
The entire camp was covered with bloodstains, and there were stumps and severed bodies everywhere, Wang Dan fortunately had long been used to it, otherwise the smell of blood was enough to make people vomit. "This battle is estimated to teach Tokugawa Sukeyuki a long lesson, and this war will teach the whole of Japan a long lesson. Qin Siyu shouted loudly.
"Even though it's far away, it's a pig, and the little devils are all fucking pigs." Some people still remembered the article Jiang Qiang had written in the newspaper before, and they roared loudly. The devil's clothes and tattered 38 covers, as well as machine guns and cannon barrels, have been cleaned up, and they have been blown up by shells, so they will definitely not be usable, and the barrel is slightly flawed, which will easily cause explosions, but iron smelting can be used.
In addition to the devils on the hillside, more than 18,000 small steel caps of the devils were captured, so that all the soldiers basically had steel helmets to wear. However, even so, Qin Siyu still asked to take all the devil's steel helmets back to practice, and with tungsten gold, the little devil's bullets may not be able to penetrate it.
The Dongfeng Express people hurriedly retreated after packing their things, the intact tent on the car was also packed away, the good tires were also removed and carried away, and there was nothing left at the scene. "Oh, that's not right." Liu Guofang ran to Qin Siyu and said. "What's wrong?" Qin Siyu asked. "They took all the canned beef from the devils, and we haven't had breakfast yet?" Liu Guofang said.
"Then you didn't say it earlier, forget it, we should also return to our position, and let the devil stay in Qinhuangdao." Qin Siyu said with a smile. "Brothers, we have collected our troops and returned to the camp." Liu Guofang also laughed, anyway, they took it back, and they had to bring breakfast to themselves later.
It took about two hours to clean up the battlefield, the sun had risen at this time, and calm had returned to the battlefield, looking at the corpses of devils all over the hillside, Qin Siyu hurriedly asked Xia Qing to invent a code telegram to Little Japan, and asked them to hurry up and take back the corpses, otherwise, they would set fire to them.
This clear code telegram made the devil extremely depressed, this time, the whole world knew about their defeat, especially Tokugawa Jieyuki, after returning to Tianjin, Tokugawa Jiezhi fainted, and the two devil doctors gave Tokugawa Jiezhi a quick infusion.
"Report, no, there are a lot of reporters outside, asking whether the commander of the Tokugawa Division will fulfill the previous bet with Qin Siyu." A communications soldier soon came over to report. "Baga, let them all me out." Koiso Kuniaki is angry, at this time Tokugawa Sukeyuki has a white towel on his head and a hanging needle, are these reporters inhumane? "Eight, Yaga, our Tokugawa division is just retreating, and it has not been defeated yet, so you go and reply to them like this." After hearing this, Tokugawa sat up.
On September 12, 1939, in order to strengthen its political and strategic control, ensure the maintenance of important communication lines in the occupied areas of China, and support the puppet regime of Wang Jingwei, the headquarters of the Japanese army newly established the General Headquarters of the Huaxia Dispatch Army in Wuhan.
The Japanese base camp appointed Senior General Nishio Toshizo as commander-in-chief, and Lieutenant General Kojino Jiro as chief of the general staff, and revoked the number of troops dispatched from Central China.
Out of the need to ensure the security of the occupied areas and to support the puppet regime, the headquarters of the Japanese Huaxia Dispatch Army attached great importance to Central China and deployed powerful mobile troops in Wuhan in an attempt to adopt a strategy of attacking as defense and striking at the Huaxia troops in Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi at an appropriate time.
This task naturally fell on the head of Okamura Ninji's Eleventh Army.
At seven o'clock in the morning of September 14, Nakai Ryotaro's division and Saito Yahei's division were outflanking and attacking the 184th Division of Luhan's 60th Army stationed in Huibu from the vicinity of Fengxin, Jiangxi, and at the same time launched a diversionary attack on the positions of Song Kentang's army and Sun Du's 58th Army.
The sound of Japanese guns broke the suffocating silence and expectation, but Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the Chinese army in northern Jiangxi, put aside the anxiety that had plagued him for many days, and instead felt relieved. As soon as the battle began, Xue Yue gave Luo Zhuoying an order, asking him to command the post headquarters, carry out gradual resistance, and find fighters to counterattack.
Xue Yue said clearly: "Since the enemy wants to fight to the death and advance westward, we can't live to see them enter Hunan and fight to the death, I won't investigate; Living losers, I see one by one. From Xue Yue's words, Luo Zhuoying understands this: The battle in northern Jiangxi must only succeed and not fail, otherwise it will be a misstep and a thousand years of hatred. As for the Japanese army's main attack on Gao'an and Xiushui, Luo Zhuoying is quite confident and sure.
On the Gao An side, the defenders had built up fairly strong positions for several months, including semi-permanent field fortifications in the form of strongholds, with points connected in lines and then lines connected into surfaces.
All kinds of firearms bunkers are covered, there are barbed wire and deer barricades in front of the bunkers, the fire nets in front of and inside the positions are tightly woven, and the anti-slope planes behind the positions are covered with shelters and grass fences to facilitate rest.
Although the strength of the Xiushui area is relatively weak, with only two corps, most of the troops are still newly reorganized, poorly equipped, and not strong in combat effectiveness, but the Xiushui area is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is not easy for the Japanese army to deploy. After five months of confrontation between the Nakai Division and the Saito Division, they finally fought again, and the First Battle of Changsha began.
On October 6, the headquarters building of New York Huaxing Trading Group Company. Meng Wuan presided over the third quarter summary meeting of the group company, and the participants were either senior executives of various branches or heads of important departments.
At present, Huaxing Trading Group Co., Ltd. has expanded into trading companies, clothing companies, entertainment companies, food companies, pharmaceutical companies, logistics companies, paper companies, catering companies and publishing houses.
Its flagship products include stockings, men's and women's clothing, very cola, instant noodles, luncheon meat, penicillin, Qian Dafa's Condor trilogy series of novels, sanitary napkins, and McDonald's chain fast food restaurants.
In the past two years, Huaxing Trading Group Co., Ltd. has grown from scratch, like a snowball, and has vaguely had the breath of a business empire.
At present, the tentacles of the group company not only extend to all the Chinese communities in the United States, but also rapidly extend to all large and medium-sized cities in the United States, and it will take another year at most to build an extremely tight business network and interest chain.
One day in the future, Jiang Qiang can even manipulate the political circles, and even the president of the United States will not want to make unfavorable decisions and plans against Huaxia. If Jiang Qiang did not allocate a large amount of funds for the purchase of strategic materials, but went all out to carry out commercial development, the current scale of Huaxing Trading Company would have to grow several times.
As Huaxing Trading Group Company became bigger and bigger, in order to lay a solid foundation and make steady progress, Jiang Qiang successively sent an elite team of nearly 100 people to the United States to help Meng Wuan support the scene.
Xia Yu's father, Xia Houcheng, and mother, Shi Lanxin, also returned to the United States to show their strength, after all, there was a war going on in China, and the wartime economy practiced in the Shandong Group Army Defense Region was not a market economy.
Industries such as military enterprises, transportation, banking and finance, water and electricity, urban construction, chemical plants, food processing, etc., are all firmly controlled by Jiang Qiang, and Xia Houcheng and his wife do not have much room to display their talents.
Therefore, after many considerations, Xia Houcheng, at the suggestion of Jiang Qiang, returned to the United States on a merchant ship to help Meng Wuan preside over the daily work of the pharmaceutical company. The first content of the meeting is the quarterly work summary report, and the heads of each branch speak and summarize in turn.
Tong Weiwen took the lead in speaking: "Last quarter, our trading company purchased a total of 21.58 million US dollars in materials, including 7.21 million US dollars in arms, 5.75 million US dollars in crude oil, 4.27 million US dollars in reinforced concrete building materials, 3.67 million US dollars in automobile machinery, and 680,000 US dollars in grain.
Through transportation companies and self-pickup, 24.79 million materials of various types were sent out last quarter! ...... "The trading company in charge of Tong Weiwen is actually a money-spending company at this stage, which is responsible for purchasing all kinds of strategic materials, a small part of which is sent to Qingdao by cargo ships through regular channels, and most of them are delivered to the door by Jiang Qiang using US warships.
Meng Wuan nodded and said, "Well, that's good!" Your trading company is the most important department, which is related to the life and death of the Shandong Group Army, and it can be said that our entire group company is revolving around you! In terms of accounts, we must be clear and careful, and do a good job of two accounts, and must not leave any handle for outsiders, otherwise the consequences will be very serious! ”
Tong Weiwen nodded solemnly and said: "Please rest assured, the chairman, I will never live up to the general seat and your cultivation, and promise to complete the task. "Good!"
Meng Wuan then looked at Du Mei, who was second on the right, and nodded. With the spread of Huaxing Trading Group Company, Du Mei has now grown into a strong woman in her own right, and has been entrusted with the important task of presiding over the daily work of the publishing house. "Ahem, ahem!" Du Mei cleared her throat and said loudly with great excitement: "Chairman, last quarter, our publishing house sold a total of 4.2 million copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and 3.07 million copies of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and the market sales were extremely hot, with a net profit of more than 5.3 million US dollars.
This quarter, in addition to continuing to print these two novels, we will also be working at full speed to print "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", which is expected to sell at least 12 million copies, and the net profit will not be less than $8 million! ……”
"Very nice! Continue to work hard, the Condor trilogy series of novels is the brainchild of our younger brother Qian Dafa, and we must increase publicity and sales. Meng Wuan nodded and smiled, and then said to Yu Shenghao: "Your entertainment company is preparing for the filming of the Legend of the Condor Heroes, and when the novel is completely popular all over the world, you can take advantage of the popularity to make a lot of money." ”
The Condor Trilogy series of novels has been translated into 73 languages, with a total sales of more than 450 million copies across all editions, making it one of the best-selling novel series in the world. Warner Bros. Pictures of the United States remade these three novels into eight films, one for each of the first six episodes, and the seventh episode into two parts. The film franchise is the highest-grossing film franchise in global history, grossing $7.8 billion at the box office.
Such a big cake, Jiang Qiang naturally will not let it go, Qian Dafa modified and sorted it out according to what he told them when he was a child, the price there is not too cheap, the main thing is to spend a little effort to do it! No, it's only been two or three months since it started, and it made a net profit of $5.3 million just by selling books.
At the same time, Jiang Qiang will also hope that Qian Dafa will release more novels and books one after another, anyway, there is no need to buy copyrights from those writers who have not yet been born, and they will not steal or steal. "Please rest assured, our gang will not hold back."
Yu Shenghao raised his eyebrows proudly and said, "Hehe! It's so easy to make money in the United States, it's no different from picking up money! Our entertainment company had a total revenue of $7.7 million and a net profit of $4.8 million last quarter,......"
"Very good, very good! Everyone's summary report is very exciting, this good news is not only the general plan, but also full of the joint efforts of all of us! But it is still the same old saying: We still have a long way to go, and in the future, we must work together to successfully complete the glorious task and historical mission entrusted to us by the General Assembly. ”
After everyone finished summarizing the work, Meng Wuan began to talk eloquently: "Everyone knows very well that our ability, ability, achievements, wealth, stability and happiness are all inseparable from the careful cultivation and gift of the general seat, so no matter when and where, we must be vigilant that we will always be a small soldier under the general seat."
We are in this peaceful country, but we must always remember that the head seat and the brothers are still fighting bloody battles against the devils, our homeland is still being invaded and trampled on by the Japanese invaders, and our compatriots are suffering from the enslavement and bloody massacre of the Japanese devils.
I said ugly things ahead, if anyone is blinded by this fancy world, if anyone neglects their duties and engages in corruption, and even betrays and betrays, then don't blame your brother for turning his face and being ruthless, and it will be difficult for you to die happily when the time comes. ”
After a pause, Meng Wuan continued: "In accordance with the requirements of the headquarters and the needs of the company's development, our group company will set up a supervision and audit department, and all branches must unconditionally cooperate with the supervision and management and audit work of the supervision department,......
The most untested thing in the world is human nature, Huaxing Trading Group has now become a climate, the most important thing at present is not to rush to expand power, but to rectify internal discipline and normative behavior, so that all core personnel must maintain a high degree of loyalty and efficiency.
Therefore, today's summary meeting is nominally a routine quarterly summary, but in fact it is the beginning of a rectification campaign, and Jiang Qiang dispatched an extremely capable work supervision team two months ago, and it can officially play its role at this time.
After the summary meeting and the summary document was formed, Meng Wuan compiled the key content into a code as soon as possible and sent it back to Gaomi.
General Headquarters of the Shandong Army in Jinan and Shandong Group Army
Jiang Qiang was handling official business in the office, and Tingting knocked on the door with a smile and walked in: "Jiang Qiang, Meng Wu'an sent a telegram back, and the content of the telegram this time is really exciting!" "What's the good news, I can't even close your mouth with a smile!"
Jiang Qiang nodded and smiled, took the telegram casually and read it, and couldn't help but say: "It's really good, hehe, the total turnover in the last quarter was 38.54 million US dollars, excluding various costs and purchased materials, there was a net profit of 4.52 million US dollars?" ”
Jiang Qiang suddenly stood up happily, the US imperialist side is really different, except for the stockings bought from the shopping mall in Shanghai, the other goods are produced and sold in the United States, which is really not much different from the "empty glove white wolf".
In particular, in the past year, Jiang Qiang has purchased a large number of various materials from the United States, especially building materials such as reinforced concrete.
The original $0.5 per ton of cement has now risen to $0.8 a ton, causing cement plants to pop up like mushrooms after a rain. Jiang Qiang now consumes more than 150,000 tons of cement every day, which means that the cement used every day will cost at least 120,000 US dollars.
And according to the current trend, the rate of cement consumption will only rise further in a year or two, and will never fall. Such a large-scale urban construction and crazy construction can only be borne by Jiang Qiang, a local tyrant, and even if he thinks about it, he shudders.
In addition, Yang Fan also bought steel, oil, artillery shells, vehicles and other materials, and the number of military warehouses expanded and expanded, and the number also increased to 12. To put it mildly, if the Japanese devils knew that Jiang Qiang had stored so many strategic materials, I am afraid that they would have begun to mobilize heavy troops now, and they would kill Jiang Qiang at all costs and rob him of the massive materials he had stored.
"Grandma's, the money of the American emperor is really easy to make! If it weren't for the fact that there was still a war and military supplies came first, I would definitely buy the whole of the United States! Mei Zizi snapped his fingers, and Jiang Qiang looked back at Tingting and said, "Call Meng Wuan back and let him do a good job!" Tell him I'm satisfied! In addition, send a telegram to your brother and tell him to pay attention to his body and not to be too tired, the body is the capital of the revolution, without him as a great writer, we may not be able to make so much money, haha"
"Okay!" Tingting nodded with a smile, and then said softly: "Jiang Qiang, the inspection team we sent out also called, they have entered the working state, and they have not found any violations of rules and disciplines so far." ”
Knowing his wife, Tingting's tone was very calm, and she couldn't hear any emotional fluctuations on the surface, but Jiang Qiang saw her careful thoughts, and asked with a smile: "What, listening to your tone, I don't think I should be there to install eyes and ears?" ”
Tingting smiled shyly and said: "There is indeed a bit of such an idea, doesn't the old saying say that there is no suspicion in employing people, and people are not suspicious!" Meng Wu'an is your favorite general, I am a little worried that he will misunderstand your intentions, and I am even more worried that there will be a gap between you or something. Jiang Qiang smiled and asked, "Do you think I am like a legendary loner, and even become moody and unpredictable in the future?" ”
