Chapter 10 Cannons, Cannons
Over there, Yamamoto Kazuki and his agents were helpless against the transport team of the Eighth Route Army, and opposite these devils, Wang Yue saw the brigade commander for the first time, for this, it must have been admired for a long time, the founding general, the deity, the real person, right in front of him, and smiling at himself.
Reflexively jumped off the tank, stood upright, saluted, and shouted "Hello chief", after all, he is also a veteran, many things have penetrated into the bone marrow, and the brigade commander was blinded at that time, when did people outside the party start to respect themselves so much? This look is the same as when I met the instructor for the first time.
"Comrade Wang Yue, welcome, on behalf of our Eighth Route Army, I welcome you to the base area!" The brigade commander warmly shook Wang Yue's hand, before coming, he also had a guess about Wang Yue, but when he saw this tall and clear-eyed young man, his previous speculation and prediction were overturned, and he was more willing to believe that the other party was an overseas person who agreed with and was willing to help our party than the concerns of the staff department.
"Chief, you are polite, it has always been my wish to come to the base, and it is also the wish of many friends around me, I am really happy to see you today!" Wang Yue was a little incoherent with excitement, excited, he was really excited, this was definitely received by the national leader.
"What kind of politeness is this, in the current grim situation, you can come to support our Eighth Route Army base area, our Eighth Route Army has already regarded you as a friend, you can transport so many weapons and ammunition in such a short period of time, it is not easy, thank you so much." The brigade commander's tone was sincere, but he was also curious in his heart, whether the other party had already transported weapons into the base area early in the morning, this was too fast, you must know that with the transportation conditions of this era, let alone crossing the blockade line, even normal transportation can't be so fast, this is one or two hundred tons of supplies.
"Brigade commander, otherwise, let's go back to the regiment headquarters to talk." At this time, Li Yunlong leaned out of the tank and couldn't help but remind him that he didn't forget to tidy up his new shirt during the period.
"Li Yunlong, you kid, you haven't seen you for a day, and you even have new clothes mixed up, how about it, you want to command me as a brigade commander when you put on new clothes, and immediately roll down for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu hasn't even sat on this foreign thing!" When the brigade commander saw Li Yunlong's stinky fart, he couldn't help but want to scold a few words, no way, it was purely a personal hobby.
There was no way, Li Yunlong had to obediently get down and ride his horse and give up his position to the brigade commander. Now, he and Kong Jie rode behind the tank on left and right, like two tall salute soldiers.
After a while, the team returned to Yang Village, looking at the hill-like weapons and equipment, the whole village was boiling at once, the soldiers couldn't remember how long they hadn't seen this kind of scene, these things were not just simple weapons and equipment, which meant that they were not alone, they were not isolated, they were not blocked, they were supported
These weapons are also their confidence in resistance, their hope of victory, and all believe that they can better fight the enemy until they achieve final victory.
Soon, the Minister of Logistics Zhang Wanhe also came with the transport team of the headquarters, looking at the large pile of weapons and ammunition, Zhang Wanhe's happy mouth was almost closed, the weapons are okay, after all, we are not without good weapons in the Eighth Route Army, more or less I have seen high-end goods, but this military uniform is too "luxurious".
Steel helmet, beret, khaki long-sleeved combat uniform, cowhide combat boots, rubber-soled canvas shoes, wool military socks. Two long-sleeved shirts, two short-sleeved shirts, two khaki multi-purpose shorts, two sets of underwear, canvas leggings, belts, armed belts, goggles, windproof masks, and even a small shoe polish and shoe-shine cloth were stuffed into each military uniform, which made the self-proclaimed well-informed Zhang Wanhe ecstatic, these five pieces of ocean flowers are simply worth it!
"Li Yunlong, let me tell you, don't think about hiding a good gun secretly, how many weapons does your 1000 regiment have, your brigade commander has given me a list, you only need to hide one, you don't have to change your outfit today!" Zhang Wanhe noticed Li Yunlong and Kong Jie muttering quietly, and couldn't help but remind loudly that he, an old comrade-in-arms, would always ruin his mood at a critical moment.
"Li Yunlong, don't give Lao Tzu a whole moth, hurry up and change your clothes, so many weapons have to be transported back to the headquarters as soon as possible, you can't delay, the devil's plane has a very high density these days, and it will be troublesome if it is discovered." The brigade commander saw that Li Yunlong was guarding the weapons of the troops, and he knew what the hell this guy was doing, the weapons of the 1000th Regiment and the new regiment were changed by the headquarters, and the headquarters was planned to arm the three regiments, and if Li Yunlong messed around, it would disrupt the headquarters' plan for the whole army.
"No, brigade commander, I told them not to move our mortars, there are no artillery in the purchase list this time, our 1000 regiments are still counting on these!" Li Yunlong looked aggrieved, but in fact, he really wanted people to secretly hide a company's equipment, there was no way, he was afraid.
"The new weapons will be reserved for you according to the full scale, don't think crookedly, I don't know who you are, tell you, if your regiment has an extra gun that is not a noodle country today, Lao Tzu will remove you!" The brigade commander naturally saw through Li Yunlong's careful thinking at a glance.
"Hey, Lao Zhang, you are not allowed to move that cannon, it is a gift from Brother Wang to our Lao Li, it is private." Seeing Zhang Wanhe looking at his cannon again, Li Yunlong couldn't help but shout.
"Mr. Wang, this cannon and tank?" The brigade commander actually wanted to ask just now, but at that time he thought that Zhang Wanhe had forgotten to inform himself of the additional purchase.
"This is indeed a gift from me to Captain Li, but it is also a sample, and I can sell it to you if you are interested.
"How many?" Zhang Wanhe's eyes have lit up, in the past few years, not only the Eighth Route Army, but also the artillery of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army have suffered huge losses, and the point that the national government transported from Vietnam and Burma is not enough to replenish it, as for the domestic arsenal, it can be built, but there is no suitable special steel at all, and the artillery is definitely priceless in China now.
"There are quite a few." Wang Yue smiled, he had now confirmed that weapons from outside the base could also be brought over, so there were more than just a hundred artillery pieces to choose from.
"Mr. Wang, what is the price of this cannon?" Zhang Wanhe's eyes lit up when he heard Wang Yue's words, and he couldn't help but glance at Brigade Commander Chen, only to see that the other party's eyes were also full of fine light.
"A tank of 20,000 oceans, a gun of 30,000 oceans, with a base of 50 shells, this gun is quite heavy, almost two tons, so I suggest you buy it together." Wang Yue did not quote a too low price, he now entrusts the Eighth Route Army to purchase materials has given a sky-high price, if the price of weapons is too low, the weapons in the base are sold out, and it is estimated that his career as a weapon dealer will end, you must know that in 2023, many old-fashioned weapons are very expensive, just like the Beretta M1938 submachine gun, the price in the collection market is between 20-400,000 US dollars, he has a limited understanding of this market, so he has to prepare more, who knows what weapons he needs to help buy in the future?
"Yes!" Zhang Wanhe, the brigade commander said in unison, don't say whether this price is expensive or not, the key is that no one sells you. In the past, Yan Laoxi had a lot of hidden in his hands, but when would he rather blow it up than give it to our Eighth Route Army? As for the Ministry of Military Affairs, don't even think about it.
After confirming some details, Zhang Wanhe took the brigade commander and ran to the regiment headquarters of the 1000 regiment, and asked the boss for instructions by phone, this time it took a long time, and it took almost two hours before and after.
In order to buy these weapons, the boss was allowed to use Jiaodong to transport gold to northern Shaanxi, but even so, the funds in the hands of the Eighth Route Army were still a little stretched.
"Brother Wang, this is the final payment of this batch of weapons, one hundred and fifty big yellow croaker, fifty thousand oceans, all here, do you want to count them?" Zhang Wanhe first moved the balance of this transaction.
"No, just move the truck directly, I believe in the Eighth Route Army." Wang Yue shook his head, he had checked the gold bars given by the Eighth Route Army last time, although they were not the official gold bars of the Central Bank, they were also private gold bars of high purity.
"Mr. Wang, the headquarters has decided to buy 12 artillery pieces first, but I hope that each gun will be equipped with two bases, that is, 100 shells, you see?" Zhang Wanhe asked, don't look at it as just fifty shells, if you buy this thing yourself, it will cost at least 5,000 oceans, not a small amount of money.
"Yes, 100 shells each, no problem, but I also have a condition, here I will personally give 1000 artillery pieces to the 7th regiment again, I don't want these guns to be transferred to other troops."
"This" Zhang Wanhe hesitated, there was no precedent for this kind of thing in the Eighth Route Army.
"Of course, the younger brother is also selfish, and I and Commander Li are also familiar at first sight, so I hope that the transaction between us will still be carried out in Commander Li's unit in the future, I don't know what the two of you think?" Wang Yue couldn't tell people that he could only cross one kilometer around Li Yunlong, he was even worried that if Li Yunlong hung up, he wouldn't be able to cross, and after thinking about it again, he felt that it was still necessary to strengthen Li Yunlong's strength as much as possible.
"Li Yunlong's department is just a regiment, and at present, our Eighth Route Army does not have that regiment with such strong firepower." Zhang Wanhe considered whether to consult the headquarters.
"No problem, I'm in charge of this matter, Mr. Wang, don't worry, as the absolute main force of our Eighth Route Army, you privately sponsor the equipment of the 1000th regiment, and without your approval, it will not be transferred." The brigade commander agreed to Wang Yue when Zhang Wanhe hesitated, the young man is still young, he will give it to the 1000 regiment, and the big deal is to directly mobilize the 1000 regiment to participate in the war when the time comes, but this kid has only met Li Yunlong a few times, how can he recognize this guy so much, is there really any advantage in Li Yunlong that he has not discovered?
"Thank you, brigade commander, then there will be no problem, I will also go back to find out, and strive to help Commander Li better strengthen the 1000th regiment." Wang Yue rubbed his hands excitedly.
Over there, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong were dumbfounded, Brother Wang, this is really a good brother, eight cannons, eight tanks, hundreds of thousands of oceans, just give it to yourself? You know, even now there are no eight 75mm caliber cannons in the headquarters.
"Mr. Wang, as for the payment method, you see, can you use jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings to offset part of the payment, after all, so much money has just been given, and the funds of the headquarters are also a little tight." Zhang Wanhe was a little embarrassed, our Eighth Route Army was poor, but he didn't take advantage of his friends, and he gave hundreds of thousands of oceans of things, and he had to use some uneasy spoils to offset it, which was indeed a bit excessive.
"It can be, but I don't understand this thing, I understand what is real or fake, and how much it is worth, it's not professional." Wang Yue was a little embarrassed, when he was rich before, he boasted that he had a little eyesight, but he didn't even count the skin, but he knew that who was deep in these things.
"It doesn't matter, we have very professional comrades who can help with the valuation, and it can be calculated according to seventy percent of the valuation, do you think it's okay?" In Zhang Wanhe's opinion, Wang Yue's words just now already meant to refuse, but he had to insist.
"Okay, can we pay in advance? After all, it also costs money to purchase cannons. "Wang Yue has not purchased these things before, because he is worried that he will not be able to bring them back because he has the same one in 2023, and whether there will be two pieces of jewelry with the same material and texture in the world? So, this time he wanted to give it a try and further intensify his exploration of this world
"Yes, I'll just call, the staff of the border bank can come over today, no, I'll go back in person!" Zhang Wanhe's excited voice trembled a little.
The troops of the Eighth Route Army continued to fight the Japanese puppet army throughout North China, and the captured things were very miscellaneous, and many of them were sent to the headquarters one after another, which was very happy to watch, but these things were not easy to sell, in the era of war, the prices of these things fell sharply, and if they were in a hurry, they would be 3-5 percent of the market price, Wang Yue was willing to ask for it, and Zhang Wanhe must be happy.
Zhang Wanhe came in a hurry and left in a hurry, Wang Yue was not too excited, these weapons and equipment were originally going to be given to the Eighth Route Army, and it didn't matter how much they were sold. It's good to get some money, just enough to live on his own, and it doesn't cost much to keep him alive, after all, when the bank gave him two thousand dollars a month, he was just as good as he was.
The refitting of the 1000 regiment is being carried out in an orderly manner, with the brigade commander in charge, Li Yunlong did not make any more small moves, and organized the troops to change their outfits in a proper manner, and the logistics staff of the headquarters are also counting and registering the weapons and equipment they have changed out, and then loading them and transporting them away.
It was busy until the afternoon, and the change of equipment of the troops was completed, looking at the new 1000 regiment, the brigade commander and Li Yunlong were also agitated in their hearts, and for a while, there was a feeling that they had just entered the Jin Dynasty to fight, and they were full of spirit, swords and guns were like a forest, and they did not hesitate to move forward bravely, this is our army, and they are the people's army.
The staff of the border bank also followed the mule and horse convoy back to Yang Village, looking at the large pile of wooden boxes, Wang Yue was also a little numb, he really underestimated the purchasing power of the ocean in this era, he also thought that it would be good to have one or two boxes, I didn't watch the TV series and the random thing is tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of oceans, alas, the drama is harmful.
Zhang Wanhe and the people from the bank, in front of Wang Yue, celebrated and valued, the jade bracelet of the glass species, not green enough, ten oceans, the Hetian jade bowl of the Ming Dynasty, the workmanship is average, one hundred oceans, gold-covered agarwood hairpins, twenty oceans, well, how can there be a painting of Mr. Carpenter, and now it is only five oceans - opposite them, Wang Yue swallowed his saliva while scanning these things with the system.
It's about the same as he estimated, a lot of things can't be brought over, jade and porcelain, there is no problem, mainly calligraphy and painting, a lot of calligraphy and painting, almost a third can't be brought over, no way, even if it's rice paper, ink is different, but the painter is exactly the same, if you bring it back, isn't it a proper fake? It's like Mr. Carpenter's painting, it's so new that you can't refute it when the time comes.
For these things that can't be brought back, Wang Yue picked them out on the spot, and said that he didn't like it, but Zhang Wanhe didn't say anything, and it was normal to not like it, these are not currencies, in case people don't make a move.
Please click to the end, finally counted a price, one million and thirty thousand oceans, Zhang Wanhe waved his hand, and said proudly, even if it is 600,000 oceans, Wang Yue can take them all, this time it is Wang Yue's turn to make difficulties, too much, really too much, it is too much to take so many things, it is really a shame.
After a little thought, Wang Yue invited the brigade commander, saying that he could collect these things, but as compensation, he was willing to support another 10,000 rifles and 1 million rounds of ammunition for the Eighth Route Army, in addition, he would also support another 100 M35 45mm light mortars, but the additional condition was to strengthen the light mortars to the infantry platoon for Li Yunlong's department, and finally, he would personally give Li Yunlong 6 Hans Grw 34 medium mortars and 800 rounds of 80mm shells (the equipment of the Hans battalion, I want it in the future, Wang Yue is also not there for the time being. )
Before leaving, Wang Yue and Li Yunlong agreed on the communication frequency band, and asked him to ensure that the radio station of a tank was turned on all day and wait for him to contact him, mainly because every time he came to Li Yunlong, it was too troublesome, and it was nothing to be stopped by the vigilant troops, but the back and forth interrogation and always having to face the muzzle of the gun felt really bad.
When leaving, Wang Yue also made an agreement with the brigade commander, hoping that the Eighth Route Army would not send people to secretly protect itself, nor let the personnel behind the enemy line probe him, so as not to leak the news and attract the attention of the devils, which would indirectly affect the cooperation between the two sides.
How smart the brigade commander is, he immediately understood that Wang Yue didn't want to expose his secrets, this is naturally no problem, mutual trust between the two sides is the foundation, and the Eighth Route Army will not touch the bottom line of the other party, so he agreed, and also called Li Yunlong and strictly warned the other party.
Li Yunlong was stunned again, our old Li is an honest child, I didn't do anything wrong?
