The capture of the Battle of Shanghai was huge.
If the funds and equipment level of the Eighth Route Army teachers leaped to a new level after attacking and occupying Tianjin, the capture of Shanghai continued this momentum.
In terms of finance, Japan's major banks in Shanghai include Yokohama Masaki Bank, Taiwan Bank, and five smaller Japanese banks, including Industrial Bank, North Korea, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Mitsui. Germany has Deutsche Bank in Shanghai. The Wang Puppet regime has Huaxing Commercial Bank in Shanghai and the pseudo-Central Reserve Bank newly established in January this year. These banks and their assets are now all controlled by the Eighth Route Army. Originally, Liu Yimin was thinking about joining the French banks in Shanghai. Thinking about General Charles de Gaulle still insisting on resisting, not looking at monks and Buddha faces, and letting it go temporarily to leave some room for meeting with the French in the future.
In terms of weapons and ammunition, Shanghai is the base camp of the Japanese Navy's Shanghai Special Marine Corps, and was once the headquarters of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army. It is now the base camp of the 13th Army. It was also the main battlefield of the 128th Incident and the Battle of Shanghai. Moreover, Shanghai's weapons and equipment reserves also undertake the task of supporting and supplying the 11th Army and the 23rd Army in South China if necessary. The Japanese army's weapons and ammunition reserves are extremely abundant.
In terms of weapons and equipment, tanks, armored vehicles, cars, motorcycles, mountain cannons, field cannons, rapid-fire cannons, anti-aircraft cannons, anti-aircraft machine guns, light and heavy machine guns, and rifles equipped by various Japanese divisions, ensuring that the troops can be replenished at any time. They are sufficient to equip three divisions.
This is an infantry weapon. This time, nine large ocean-going cargo ships of about 5,000 tons of Japanese foreign companies were seized. These large cargo ships are different from passenger and cargo ships from other countries. Because they often assist the Japanese army in transporting troops, the cargo ships have been changed to landing ships, which can easily carry tanks, cars, etc. The Japanese army was seized for Shanghai to Wuhan, Shanghai to Guangzhou, Shanghai to Ningbo, Shanghai to Qingdao, Shanghai to Tianjin, Shanghai to Taiwan, Shanghai to Hainan, Shanghai to Shanghai to Shanghai to Hainan, and Shanghai to seized.
Nagasaki has a total of eight large shipping ships. More than 20 small and medium-sized cargo ships used for inland shipping were seized. A batch of patrol boats and motorboats used for cruise inspection of the Yangtze River and Huangpu River waterways were seized. Several Japanese minecraft and minesweeper boats were seized at Wusongkou. The only drawback is that the third fleet of the Japanese troops stationed in Shanghai cooperated with the Far East, the southeast coastal operations and the Second Changsha Battle, the main ships were not in Shanghai. Otherwise, the results would be greater.
That's it. Cai Zhong was so satisfied. He said that he didn't have to let the soldiers sit on the wooden raft when he went back. The wind and waves were high and the waves were harsh. Although the wooden rafts of the Eighth Route Army were made of double-layer wooden rafts built with steel plates, he couldn't help but make the sea water turn the soldiers into water ghosts.
The Eighth Route Army Air Force also made a fortune this time. There is Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai and Jiangwan Airport in the Japanese Navy, which is equivalent to the army and naval aircraft. If there is an aircraft, there are accessories, including aviation gasoline and aviation ammunition. When Feng Dafei and others were ordered to fly from Zhujiazhuangzi in Dadian, they were just like Li Lingfeng's method when he attacked Xuzhou Airport. They shipped aviation gasoline and aviation ammunition overnight and flew back the Japanese fighter jets, bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and trainers.
In terms of ammunition, including rifles, machine gun bullets, artillery shells, poison gas bombs, and various types of ship-running shells and aviation bombs used by the navy, aviation, etc. Not to mention other arsenals, the seven underground tunnels with a total length of 7,100 meters underground in the Wujiao Field of Jiangwan alone are enough for all units of the 13th Army of the Japanese army to use for the first half of the year. Therefore, when the troops seized ammunition, they did not count the number of rounds, but counted the number of boxes.
In terms of materials, the Yangtze River Delta zone itself is the richest place in China. Shanghai is China's largest foreign trade port and inland transportation port. The urban population is as high as 2.8 million. The real silver and cotton plundered by the Japanese army in China are basically stored here. Not only does it supply the 11th and 13th Army of the Japanese army in central China, it also often allocates grain to the North China Front Army. Like cotton, in addition to transporting it back to Japan to meet industrial production, textile factories in Shanghai are running full capacity every day. Many anti-Japanese troops wear straw sandals and uniforms are like beggars. The guys with oily and flour noodles in Shanghai are dressed brightly and have leather
The shoes are shiny, and wearing suits and silk is so glorious! As for other materials, such as military gasoline, diesel, steel, cloth, medicine, etc., there are many here. Because there are many capitalists in Shanghai and many foreign foreign companies. The nature of capital is profit-seeking. As long as you can make money, these capitalists and foreign central banks do not care about who they are. As long as the Japanese army and the Wang Puppet regime need it, those foreign companies will find ways to get commodity trading. During the Battle of Shanghai, China moved many factories in Shanghai to Wuhan, and later to Sichuan. The market supply gap left by these companies was filled by capitalists who were eager to make money.
Then again, the Japanese army controlled the Yangtze River, Huangpu River, and Wusong River waterways, and controlled the offshores of Shanghai. It was impossible for foreign companies to make money without dealing with the Japanese and puppets. In their contracts, they were contracted to deal, but for the anti-Japanese military and civilians, this was the standard enemy of the capital!
Fortunately, the United States embargoed on Japan in July. Otherwise, the US government would not have stopped the foreign merchants from taking advantage of loopholes to make a fortune. This time, the Eighth Route Army captured Shanghai, and a Japanese company confiscated 500 American heavy trucks and 20 cars from a Japanese company. These things were not allowed to be obtained except for the US merchants reselling them. There was no way, the US government had a full embargo on Japan, but did not embargo on the Shanghai public concession. Some foreign merchants had the means to get scarce supplies to make a lot of money. In this case, only when the Japanese army attacked Pearl Harbor, the general managers of foreign companies who were asking for money would know that they filled the gasoline in Japanese planes and tanks.
In the face of national crisis, some people were bleed and sacrificed, and some survived under the Japanese bayonet, but there was another type of person who was good at making money in the national crisis and made a fortune from the rumbling cannons of the Japanese army. This time, the Eighth Route Army attacked Shanghai. The confiscated Wang puppet traitors had a lot of assets, which made Liu Yimin happy to be heard.
Wu Sibao, the captain of the guards of No. 76, turned out to be a little hooligan who was a driver. He was big and thick. He had a big belly and had difficulty walking. He married a wife named She Aizhen, but he was an extremely beautiful foreign student. The couple became the disciples of Ji Yunqing, a big gangster in Shanghai. In those days, the gangs needed guns, but they needed repairs when the gun was broken. Wu Sibao had a fellow villager in Wuxi who opened a car repair store and had a lathe. This era is not like many in later generations.
The instrument lathe factory went bankrupt and reorganized because it had no sales. The lathe was a shortage of goods. With the lathe, it could be made and repaired. Wu Sibao won Ji Yunqing's trust with this lathe from his fellow villager. Ji Yunqing's disciples and grandchildren all left the guns to the old man to find a way to repair them, and the old man Ji Yunqing's solution was to give Wu Sibao the idea. After a while, Wu Sibao actually practiced a good shooting technique. Including his wife She Aizhen also shot with both hands and hit every shot.
Li Shiqun relied on Ji Yunqing's disciples to lead the No. 76 team.
After becoming the captain of the No. 76 Guard, Wu Sibao became the most powerful murderer under Li Shiqun. With the power of No. 76, he did bad things. This guy may have done too much, and believed in money without believing in anything. Going to the exchange to buy stocks can only make money but not lose money. Once the stock falls sharply, Wu Sibao asked the No. 76 spies to press the trader's back with a pistol and force them to shout the price. That's not all. Wu Sibao has shares in most casinos in Shanghai. The bosses are forced by his tyranny, and relying on his protection.
Yue obediently presented the tap. The casino made money and could not catch up with drug trafficking. Wu Sibao controlled the white flour in the Shanghai drug market, making a fortune. How much is this guy greedy for money? Once again, he kidnapped a big boss in Shanghai and blackmailed a sum of money. Later, he saw that the boss had a lot of money, so he simply recognized him as his godson. The godson climbed up with Wu Sibao and thought he had a backer, so he wanted to compete with his peers for business and gave Wu Sibao a 23-carat diamond. When he asked Wu Sibao how he was doing, Wu Sibao actually called him and said he forgot and the diamond would not be returned.
It was Wu Sibao, when the Eighth Route Army Special Forces members hit his forehead, they were still shouting at his wife She Aizhen at the top of their lungs and running with the keys of the safe, as if his wife could run away. This made the Eighth Route Army Special Forces members furious and tied the couple into rice dumplings.
There is also a third son Sheng, the nephew of Sheng Xuanhuai, the late Qing Dynasty minister of the Post and Communication Department of Hu Xueyan, who defeated the red-topped businessman Hu Xueyan, and the big name Sheng Wenyi. This guy monopolized the opium business in Shanghai, and all the opium transported by the Japanese army from the northeast and Rehe was sold. In addition, he monopolized the salt industry of the Yangtze River waterway. One white and one black, two wealth routes, and earned more money than Sheng Xuanhuai's railway construction and postal service. This guy made a very high-sounding sign, saying that he wanted to use the money from selling opium to help the poor. The brand of his opium wholesale department was called Hongji Shantang. Outsiders didn't know it, but they thought it was a charity farm or something!
Traitors like Sheng Laosan and Wu Sibao are all traitors who are officials. There is also a kind of folk traitor in Shanghai. The most famous ones are Chen Binhe in the cultural world, and Chen Botao and Chen Binhe in the industrial world. Not to mention it, there is no money. Chen Botao made a fortune with the backing support of the Japanese naval intelligence agency, and became the overlord of the hardware market in Shanghai. Even Zhang Lianfang, who was originally known as the Shanghai hardware king, became his disciple. Now the fiat currency of the National Government is constantly depreciating, and the China Reserve Coupon issued by Wang Puppet cannot replace the increasingly depreciating fiat currency status. Some people estimate that the war money that Chen Botao and his minions have issued in recent years should be calculated in fiat currency. This estimate is full of water, and it is estimated that the turnover and the actual profit is worth over 100 million yuan.
These traitors of Wang and puppets were doomed this time. The special operations brigade commanded by Li Lingfeng was the first target of the Japanese and puppet spies, followed by these traitors of Wang and puppets who made the war. So, Wu Sibao, Sheng Laosan, Chen Botao, etc., all those who were on the list of the Eighth Route Army have been detained and their families have been confiscated. They have Japanese banks, so I won’t talk about the money of Wang and puppet banks, so they are naturally from the Eighth Route Army. They have American banks, British banks, French banks, Australian, Netherlands, Denmark and other foreign banks, and the Eighth Route Army is waiting for these banks to open the door and escort the traitors to withdraw money! Including the antiques, calligraphy and paintings stored in the bank safes.
In addition to these, Shanghai also has Longhua Shipyard, auto repair shop, textile factory, power plant, etc. Not to mention private capital, nor to mention British and American investments. There are 500,000 Japanese expatriates in Shanghai. Most of these people are opening factories and doing business. In addition to those traitors, it is equivalent to preparing an endless warehouse of materials for the Eighth Route Army.
Even if Liu Yimin is a time traveler with such a big capture, he has a wide vision and high vision, and he also feels like he is entering the treasure mountain. Shanghai is much more developed than Tianjin and Qingdao. Jinan and Taiyuan, compared with Shanghai, it is too much behind.
That night, the First Column, the Cavalry Column was annihilated the Japanese and puppet troops, and the Special Forces Command was destroying the Japanese and puppet intelligence agencies and arresting famous traitors in Shanghai. After completing the mission, the First Column, the Cavalry Column, and the Special Forces Command turned to seize Japanese and puppet enterprises, businesses, banks, transfer assets, equipment, and materials. The organized Shiliupu dock workers' patrol team helped the Eighth Route Army form a fleet and mobilize loading and unloading work and loading ships. The first fleet had left Shanghai and sailed to Rizhao Port in Shandong. There, Luo Ronghuan and others were looking forward to it!
Liu Yimin planned to open warehouses and release grain in Shanghai during the day, and send endless rice and the China Storage Coupons seized from Wang Puppet Bank to the workers and poor people in Shanghai. Then Shanghai mobilized Shanghai to organize the industrial workers in Shanghai to form dismantling teams and transportation teams to assist the Eighth Route Army in transporting supplies. In one day and one night, they moved the Japanese and puppet assets in Shanghai, so that Nishio Shouzao and Wang Jingwei were poor and poor.
The North China Front Army has been tortured by the Eighth Route Army and has mostly relied on the Northeast, and its supply is allocated by the Central China and Japan. Liu Yimin thought that this time, the Japanese and puppet assets in Shanghai were empty, and then went to the Northeast to recover the Northeast, which was equivalent to cutting off the Japanese and Japanese economic lifeline. No matter how cruel the Japanese were, they would have no money, and they would have become paupers and would not last long.
Originally, Liu Yimin even wanted to move all the private capital enterprises in Shanghai, like in Taiyuan, Tianjin, and Qingdao. But looking at Shanghai, he really couldn't bear it. At the same time, he didn't have time and had such a large capacity. Even if he requisitioned ships from British, American and French foreign companies in the public concession, it would not work. Shanghai was too big and could not move it all. He could only carry Japanese and puppet assets and materials.
There is nothing perfect in the world, so leave some shortcomings!
Dear book friends: I felt stomach upset yesterday, I didn’t eat for two meals, and couldn’t sit still, which caused me to not update the third time as planned. I’m really sorry!
