Chapter 84 Arms

Li Yuxian hummed a cheerful and unknown tune, put several documents on the table into the file bag, then picked up the file bag and stood up. Just as she was about to walk out, Yang Hanying walked in with a frown slightly.

Li Yuxian didn't stop at her feet and asked casually: "Secretary Yang, is there anything wrong?"

After the establishment of the Intelligence Department of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in Southern Anhui, Li Yuxian was naturally the unscrupulous Intelligence Department. Yang Hanying also became the chief of the Operations Department under the Intelligence Department. The more than 20 Rangers who came from the Third War Zone, as well as several operational team members from the original Longkou Liaison Station, are now under Yang Hanying's control.

Yang Hanying looked at Li Yuxian and said nothing.

When Li Yuxian wanted to go out, she found that Yang Hanying was blocking the gate. She came over and had no intention of getting out of the way. At that moment, Li Yuxian's beautiful eyes narrowed, she looked up at Yang Hanying, and asked in a deep voice: "Chief Yang, what do you mean?"

"Director Li, I want to remind you that you seem to have forgotten your job." Yang Hanying had actually been tolerant for a long time, but today she finally couldn't help it.

Li Yuxian's official position is the chief director of the Intelligence Department of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. However, in recent times, Li Yuxian is more like the logistics director of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army. She first gave advice on Xu Shijiu and issued anti-Japanese bonds, and then used the military-controlled relationship to order arms from Shanghai for Xu Shijiu.

However, what really made Yang Hanying unbearable was Li Yuxian taking the opportunity to run to Xu Shijiu's office. Seeing Li Yuxian fighting with Xu Shijiu in a hot mood, and seeing Li Yuxian smiling in front of Xu Shijiu, Yang Hanying felt a fire burning in his chest. He really wanted to take out his gun and kill Xu Shijiu.

Li Yuxian's pretty face immediately sinks and said in a hurry: "Secretary Yang, please pay attention to your identity."

"Director Li, it is precisely because I know my identity very well that I must remind you." Yang Hanying did not give in.

Li Yuxian was so stern. She suddenly realized that in addition to being the head of the Operations Department of the Intelligence Department, Yang Hanying might have another secret identity. Chongqing did not disclose Yang Hanying's identity, and even she hid it. However, this does not mean that Li Yuxian didn't know that in the Military Control Commission, over-level supervision is almost an open secret.

The so-called over-level supervision refers to the surveillance of superiors by subordinates.

For example, Li Yuxian was originally the webmaster of the Longkou Liaison Station of the Military Intelligence Bureau, but Chongqing would not allow her to take over the power, so under her, she would secretly arrange a supervisor to supervise Li Yuxian's every move. On the secret front, such an arrangement is very necessary, and it does avoid many unnecessary losses in actual combat.

Now, Yang Hanying has almost shown that he is the secret supervisor.

"Director Li, I remind you again." Yang Hanying stared at Li Yuxian's eyes and said in a deep voice, "For you, the identity of the Director of the Intelligence Department of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army is only temporary. Your true identity is always an agent of the Investigation Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Revolutionary Army, so you'd better not have feelings for anyone."

The Military Commission has several major precepts, the first is that it cannot move emotions to anyone.

Li Yuxian was angry and responded coldly: "Secretary Yang, I would like to remind you again that you are only the head of the Operations Section of the Intelligence Department. As the director, how should you carry out your work and how to deal with others. I think it's not your turn to point fingers at me. Now I order you to get out of here."

Li Yuxian's tone has become extremely strict, and Yang Hanying can only get out of the way.

Li Yuxian walked past Yang Hanying with a file bag. When the two passed by, Li Yuxian hummed softly from his nostrils. This hum made Yang Hanying feel like he fell into an ice cave, and he felt regretful for no reason. He originally wanted to remind him in a tactful way to keep a distance between Li Yuxian and Xu Shijiu, but he did not expect that the situation would turn out like this.

Li Yuxian walked away with the stirrups, and soon there was only one swaying back.

Looking at Li Yuxian's swaying back, a look of viciousness gradually appeared in Yang Hanying's eyes.

Xu Shijiu was not in his office. After Li Yuxian asked where Xu Shijiu was going, he stepped on the side and went straight to the recruit camp outside the city. On the training ground of the recruit camp, Li Yuxian saw Xu Shijiu, Xu Shijiu, and Li Zihan, Niu Sigen, Lu Jian Gang, and Li Shuangqiu.

The training of the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the 3rd Regiment and the 4th Regiment are in full swing. Xu Shijiu will come to the recruit training camp every day. Although he is now in office and has a large number of regiment commanders and battalion commanders, he is still not used to sitting in the office every day, and he will feel comfortable in the lively training ground.

"Commander." When facing Xu Shijiu, Li Yuxian immediately became a smile.

At first, Li Yuxian just wanted to "conquer" Xu Shijiu, and then controlled the anti-Japanese and national salvation army in southern Anhui through Xu Shijiu. However, as time went by, Li Yuxian found that Xu Shijiu had not fallen into his gentle trap, but she herself seemed to be lost, because whenever she saw Xu Shijiu, her mood would always improve inexplicably.

"Director Li?" Xu Shijiu turned around and said calmly, "Is there anything wrong?"

"What, can't you come to find you if you have nothing to do?" Li Yuxian gave Xu Shijiu a blank look.

Li Zihan, Niu Sigen, Li Shuanggen and several commanders of Lu Jian Gang walked away one after another. Li Yuxian chased Xu Shijiu. This was already an open secret in southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army, but Xu Shijiu was in his heart and was right to treat Li Yuxian. There was no progress on the two of them yet, but Li Zihan and the others would not stay and disturb others' good things.

Xu Shijiu frowned unconsciously. To be honest, he didn't like Li Yuxian's style very much.

Seeing Xu Shijiu frowned, Li Yuxian pouted and quickly took out the file bag and said, "I'm congratulating you. The arms are already in place. British businessman Sir Stephen has promised to provide a batch of arms to our southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army at an international market price, and it will be shipped to Shanghai soon."

"Oh, is that so fast?" Xu Shijiu was overjoyed when he heard this.

As of the summer of the 28th year of the Republic of China (1939), the Japanese had successively captured Nanchang, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, the Yangtze River Channel, the Hangzhou Bay Waterway and the Guangzhou Bay Waterway had all been cut off by the Japanese. The maritime transportation line that the National Government relied on to maintain had been cut off by the Japanese. As a last resort, they had to urgently repair the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

However, it is impossible for Japan to completely block the sea routes.

Although the situation in Europe was already extremely tense at this time, the attention of Western powers such as Britain, France, and the United States had turned to Europe, and the Far East was no longer their focus, Western powers could not be able to give up the benefits they got, so they were still very happy to do something about Japan, such as smuggling arms in the Kuomintang army.

Although the Japanese Navy has strengthened patrols on China's coastal waters, the effect is minimal, because before the Japanese Navy officially declared war with Western powers, it is impossible for the Japanese Navy to prevent US and British warships from anchoring Shanghai Port, nor can it prevent US and British warships from anchoring through the Yangtze River to Hankou Wharf.

Of course, this level of arms smuggling is no longer enough to affect the progress of the Sino-Japanese War.

But for the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, the arms smuggled by British merchants were enough to change their appearance. Two thousand Mauser rifles, twenty Maxim heavy machine guns, fifty Czech light machine guns and five hundred thousand bullets were enough to arm an elite Central Army main force.

Of course, there are not only those arms ordered by Xu Shijiu from foreign merchants through the Military Commission. Among them, there are ten sniper rifles specially requested by Gao Shenxing. These ten sniper rifles were used by Gao Shenxing to arm the 5th Battalion.

However, when Xu Shijiu took the telegram from Li Yuxian, he was stunned.

"Director Li, are you not mistaken?" Looking at the numbers on the telegram, Xu Shijiu was a little unbelievable. It said that there were four hundred Mauser rifles, eight Maxim heavy machine guns, twenty Czech light machine guns, and two hundred thousand bullets. This was much smaller than Xu Shijiu's expectations, so he armed a battalion.

Li Yuxian spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Commander, the price of arms has increased."

"There aren't any good things for these foreign devils." Xu Shijiu could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Now the Japanese show that they want to take over China alone, so the United States, Britain, France and other Western powers barely provide help. If the Japanese can give them some benefits, if these foreign devils don't come to take advantage of the situation, the Chinese should burn the incense.

Li Yuxian said: "Then, commander, should this batch of arms continue to trade or forget about it?"
