“In the three largest state-owned ranches near Khabarovsk, volunteer officers and soldiers froze to death every day while tending sheep. Some of them were swallowed by the storm while helping Soviet personnel graze, and some froze to death while tending livestock at night.
Different from the logging staff, those who participate in herding can eat some beef and mutton every day. This is also an important reason why officers and soldiers are willing to go even though they know there is danger. Some family members of the volunteers have also become pawns for some wealthy local families.
"Temporary nannies", they have to work fifteen or six hours a day, just to have two full meals."
Listening to Su Yongmin, who had recovered from frostbite, recounting the hardships he suffered in Russia, Hu Zhiyong said to the Russian mechanic Odorov who came with him: "Mr. Odorov, the people of Northeast China are already in dire straits.
Please your country stop treating them like this!"
"No, no, our country has a contract with the island country, and the government is also in a very difficult situation. Besides, they are illegal immigrants. Expelling them is even more cruel. They will be tortured to death by the little devils!"
"Expulsion?" Hu Zhi's brave eyes lit up: "You can send a telegram to Mr. Stalin. I will buy two regiments of tanks from him and ask him to send all the volunteers back to me from the Mongolian border!"
Odorov shook his head helplessly: "We have been very merciful. More than 30,000 soldiers of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army returned to Xinjiang through the Soviet Union!"
Hu Zhiyong sighed, but then said: "I will still buy the tank. Please be merciful in the future and hand over all the stowaways to me according to the method I told you, okay?"
"OK!" Odorov snapped his fingers, indicating that he would do as Hu Zhiyong said.
"Report, Commander Huang Jinshan has found a total of more than 400 volunteers at the border. Their dry food can be used for hunting and their ammunition has been exhausted. Please give instructions!" The telecommunications section chief came in and asked those who set foot in Chifeng for the first time.
Hu Zhiyong reported.
"Leave a battalion to continue the search and ask him to send the rescuers over!" Hu Zhiyong stood up and asked Su Yongmin: "Take good care of your injuries, your blood will not be in vain!"
"It's sir!" Su Yongmin wanted to stand up and salute, but Hu Zhiyong held him down gently.
After receiving Odorov's telegram, Stalin was very happy to light his big pipe. One tank could be sold for the cost price of three tanks, and the subsequent orders of gasoline and diesel were five times more expensive. When Hu Zhiyong said that he would give it to him
When he saw a drawing of a very powerful artillery fire, he excitedly waved his pen: "Give him two tank regiments for free!"
As soon as he saw the photo, he knew how powerful the rocket launcher was! Just imagine, three rows of 12 artillery fires fired at the same time. Anyone with a discerning eye can understand the power at a glance. Who knows about the volunteers who smuggled over from Northeast China and sent them away without knowing it?
Weapons expert Ordnance Commissar Ustinov and the 37-year-old youngest division commander Zhukov arrived. Stalin handed over the photo with an excited smile: "Let's see if it is possible to make such a cannon!"
"Yes!" Ustinov shouted with trembling hands: "I had this idea before, but I didn't expect that smart Easterners would actually create it!"
"What a gun, what a gun!" Zhukov's eyes lit up: "Commander, a company equipped with such artillery fire is stronger than the artillery fire of our regiment!"
"You lead two regiments to send the tanks there, and they will give you the drawings and samples to bring back! I am very curious why he did not give this kind of artillery to the National Government, but gave it to us instead!" Stalin said with a hint of doubt.
With that said, Zhukov was asked to go to Ma'anshan to watch live ammunition firing in person.
"Yes, I promise you won't be deceived!" Zhukov had already guessed Hu Zhiyong's intention, but he did not dare to say it in front of Stalin. The commander-in-chief's methods were spicy, and he had already felt the spearhead of purging the leftists and the party.
Ma Qingde was the happiest person to purchase 200 tanks at once. He was promoted from a battalion commander to a tank brigade commander by leaps and bounds. Only Hou Dashun could be better than him at this opportunity.
Zhukov came in person, and Hu Zhiyong felt a wave of heat in his heart. Zhukov made great achievements in his long military career from soldier to marshal. He was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union four times, six medals of the Lenin Order, one medal of the October Revolution, and served as
Deputy Commander-in-Chief, Minister of Defense, has commanded countless major battles!
Hu Zhiyong could not imagine that he would be able to see an outstanding military genius who would still be praised by the world a hundred years later! Hundreds of cargo ships had transported supplies from Peking. Hu Zhiyong ordered that the transportation volume continue to be increased, and that the total amount of imported supplies must be reduced to 77% within three years.
Invest in Ma'anshan for more than 100%!
In the camp of the Volunteer Army, more than 10,000 troops were training. But he did not dare to visit, fearing that these people would be shaken after returning to Northeast China and expose Zhuang He's secret.
"The arrangements have been made for the four hundred families of their families. They have been given space and space, and living supplies and furniture have been sent to them. Young Master, why don't we stay with such an excellent soldier?" Hou Dashun didn't understand, and asked these people to reorganize after training.
Even Zhuang Hemao was not included in the team.
"If they are not shaken by the evil policies of the environment, do not surrender for glory and wealth, and do not struggle against the harsh environment of nature, they are worthy of being good soldiers! What is our purpose? It is to kill the Japanese! The appeal of these people
It is unimaginable that one person can turn into an army of tens of thousands in an instant. They are a flag, and a flag in the spiritual world is more important than being a good soldier!"
Hu Zhiyong's high-spirited and sharp words made the standing officers couldn't help but clenched their fists with excitement. No one knows how big the Hu family's family fortune is, but thousands of cargo ships transported materials for the anti-Japanese war.
In the base area, I don’t know how many rich people in China can do this.
Hou Dashun's eyes erupted with fire-like light: "I understand! Ours is a place that breeds vitality and hope. Fighting the Japanese does not rely on us alone. It requires the participation of all the elders of the Northeast and the Chinese nation to take up arms!"
Hu Zhiyong looked at Hou Dashun in surprise and said jokingly: "You are getting smarter and smarter! Remember, the Soviet division commander who came today is a general who is very capable of fighting. Ask him for advice!"
When Zhukov stepped into the realm of Chifeng, his eyes were widened by the happy crowd. The island country had invaded the Northeast, and it was rare to have such a vibrant base.
"Hello, General Zhukov!" When the Soviet division commander jumped down from the command vehicle, Hu Zhiyong stepped forward and grabbed his hand. Odorov hurriedly introduced: "This is Hu Zhiyong who is doing business with us.
Young Master Yongsan."
In front of the tall and handsome Zhukov, Hu Zhiyong almost wanted to fall to the ground and be killed! His wretched appearance made him feel inferior, and he said with a naive smile: "You can just call me Zhiyong."
"You should be called Zhiyong!" Zhukov praised: "You are amazing, you can conquer such a large area in the Japanese-occupied areas!"
Seeing that Zhukov was approachable and humorous, Hu Zhiyong regained his confidence and laughed: "This is the credit of the brothers, I am just a rich businessman!"
"You speak Russian very well. Did you study in Russia?" Zhukov was very confused. He was not surprised to be able to speak Japanese because this is a Japanese war zone. He was not surprised to be able to speak English because it is the common language of the world.
.
"I learned it from a teacher!" Hu Zhiyong bypassed the question and looked at the car behind him and said, "How many people did the Volunteer Army send back?"
"More than seven thousand!" Zhukov pointed to the people in the car: "There are hundreds of them we met on the road, and we brought them over to you by the way!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Hu Zhiyong praised repeatedly. This military strategist made him more fond of him.
Hou Dashun and others hurried over to meet, and Hu Zhiyong introduced Zhukov one by one. When everyone went to accept the transfer of the volunteers, he pointed at the tank and said: "Can I go up and have a try?"
"Okay, it should be checked for acceptance!" Zhukov was surprised and thought to himself: "This guy can drive a tank?"
The tank roared and flew, and everyone watched the performance of the young master of the Hu family in surprise. The speed reached the extreme, turning left and right in one go. Zhukov nodded and praised: "Excellent technique, better than my tank soldiers!"
How did Zhukov know that Hu Zhiyong was a special forces commander in later generations? Hu Zhiyong jumped out of the car and walked to the Russian division commander. He said with regret: "The T-12 tank is a double-turret tank. There is a small machine gun above the main turret.
The tower can rotate independently. The main turret is equipped with a 45mm gun, and a 7.62mm machine gun is installed on the spherical machine gun mounts on both sides of the gun. Designed by Professor Zaslavsky and produced by the Kharkiv Locomotive Factory for 30 years and officially tested
Officially begins. Unfortunately, the T-24 tank you just produced is what I want most!"
Zhukov was surprised: "You know that our troops are not equipped with tanks?"
"Hahahaha, I also know the names of all the technical staff! For example, Alexchenko, Alferov, Tikarov, etc." Hu Zhiyong did not want to show off, but wanted to let this outstanding military strategist know: "
Don’t fool me here!”
"The BT-5 tank has come off the production line, and your troops are not equipped yet?" Hu Zhiyong was surprised: "It is equipped with a more powerful 45mm gun, and is also equipped with a 71-Tki radio station for the commander, and is equipped with handrails on the turret.
shaped antenna. This riveting process has been eliminated, but your welded vehicles are more durable!”
From terminology to knowledge, Zhukov had to admit that Hu Zhiyong was more professional than him. He was secretly surprised: "No wonder he can produce multiple rocket launchers. It turns out that he is a genius professional manufacturer!"
Entering the living room, Zhukov admired the architecture of this ancient royal palace. While drinking hot coffee, Hu Zhiyong humbly asked Zhukov for his views on the current world situation.
"It won't last long!" Zhukov simply uttered a few words, which was enough to surprise Hu Zhiyong. The more the two talked, the happier they became, and they both admired each other's knowledge.
"Third Young Master, I want to see your rocket launcher!" Zhukov couldn't stay here too long and asked bluntly.
"You are a battlefield-experienced general. If you are not afraid of danger, I want to take you to the battlefield to see it!" Hu Zhiyong knew that the Soviets would test the power of the rocket launcher, and had already prepared a good show.
"Going to the battlefield?" Zhukov laughed loudly: "I just want to experience the bravery of your army! The fact that the little devil can't attack here shows that he is afraid. If he is scared, it shows that Ma'anshan's troops are invincible!"
Hu Zhiyong said modestly: "General, thank you! Because we are united here and are not as unpopular as the current government. Hu Pengsheng!"
"Arrived!" The mighty Hu Pengsheng walked in. Zhukov nodded secretly: "What a powerful soldier!"
"Lead your special forces and protect General Zhukov every step of the way!"
