As the old saying goes: For men, after the most comfortable period, they are dull.
Lighting up a post-event cigarette is the most correct way for scumbags to enjoy the afterglow.
Behind Tang Tuanzuo, he fully embodied his "scumbag" nature.
At the beginning, the Siemens Martin furnace was installed, which surprised Tang Tuanzuo. The other 12 "infantry guns" that were almost equivalent to the bonus made Tang Dao very calm.
"My group has quite a few of these things." Tang Tuanzuo lit up a cigarette casually.
With that 'scumbag' attitude of being a burden even if I want it, the major general spy chief needs to think more deeply, otherwise he would really have the urge to take out his gun and kill this guy.
I don’t know who was holding my hand in front and thanking Sanlian.
Do you believe that if your words fall into the ears of your superiors, they will immediately pick you up with a knife?
That's a whole 12 artillery pieces! And it's not an ordinary artillery piece. The gun body alone is worth 15,000 US dollars, which is comparable to the famous Bofors 75 mountain gun.
This means that they cannot be sold to Japanese people. If Westerners buy them, they will be of no use in the concession. Otherwise, it will be your turn to get a bargain there?
The 12 "infantry guns" neatly arranged in the warehouse and tightly wrapped in gun jackets are not the Type 92 infantry guns used by the Japanese.
The Japanese Type 92 70mm infantry gun can not only defeat the Chinese army, which does not have many artillery guns, but it may also make the Western powers laugh when it is brought to the Western battlefield. How dare you call a cannon with a range of more than 2,000 meters?
If you have to make an analogy, instead of using any large-caliber artillery for comparison, just compare the twelve so-called "infantry guns" placed in the warehouse. The gap between the two is like the muddy road in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.
The 20-year-old classic truck benchmarks against American Jeep.
The 12 "infantry guns" placed in front of Tang Tuanzuo were produced by Bofors, Sweden, and were modeled as 37/81 mm dual-caliber infantry guns.
What is a double-caliber infantry gun? To put it bluntly, this gun has two parallel barrels. One barrel is 37 mm and the other is 81 mm. When a 37 mm armor-piercing projectile is inserted, this gun can be used as a direct rifle.
Use it as a sight-type anti-tank gun, insert a grenade-type explosive shell into it, and it will transform into an 80mm howitzer.
When used as an 80mm howitzer, the gun has a firing range of up to 6,000 meters. What's even more awesome is that the elevation angle of this gun can be adjusted to a maximum of 82 degrees, which means that this gun can be used as a mortar.
make.
One gun has three uses, who can bear it?
When he heard Yang Zongdao introducing the artillery in front of him with a bit of a "grandma selling melons" attitude, Tang Tuanzuo, who was already a little "inflated" with 12 Bofors mountain cannons, couldn't help but be moved.
This artillery is not only multi-functional and powerful, but also lightweight. The total weight of the 400-kilogram gun frame and the gun body can be divided into up to 12 pieces. The single weight of the largest component does not exceed 39 kilograms. This means that this gun
Its mobility is even more powerful than the 75mm mountain gun produced by Bofors.
No matter what kind of weapon it is, it must be conducive to transportation. This may also be the philosophy that the Swedish Bofors Company has always adhered to, but it is exactly in line with the current situation of the Chinese military and the so-called mechanization.
Not only can this artillery be transported by packhorse, but if it encounters any extreme situation, it can be transported by manpower alone.
The 6,000-meter range of the 80mm howitzer is not very attractive to the artillery battalion of the Fourth Line Regiment, which is about to be fully replaced with the 75mm Bofors Mountain Cannon, but what if it is lowered to the infantry battalion level?
In addition to the Shangguan Yun Division, which will surely arrive in the near future, the Fourth Infantry Regiment will set up 4 infantry battalions. On average, these 12 artillery pieces will be 3 for each infantry battalion. They can attack tanks and fixed fortifications at close range, and can attack Japanese troops at far distances.
Heavy firepower points and infantry can also transform into mortars to provide artillery cover for the frontline infantry defense line.
The heavy firepower that the infantry battalion can mobilize itself has undoubtedly been strengthened, and there is no need to have an artillery battalion accompanying it every time, which also means that the individual combat capabilities of each infantry battalion have been greatly enhanced.
Tang Dao didn't know that it was his fantastic idea that indirectly created the most glorious battle of the newly established Fourth Battalion, and also avoided the crisis of annihilation of the Fourth Battalion just after its establishment.
Isn't that what war is like? If you win, you will be glorious; if you lose, you will be doomed!
The so-called glory and destruction are actually a thin line!
The three Bofors multifunctional artillery pieces assigned to each infantry battalion played a vital role in that encounter.
Of course, that's all for later! At this moment, Tang Dao was a little puzzled as to why this artillery with excellent performance was not used in the Songhu Battle a few months ago, but instead sat in a warehouse gathering dust.
The gun barrel that was revealed after tearing off the gun jacket and emitting a faint blue light was completely new. No matter how prodigal those guys under the principal were, they would never make such a low-level mistake!
"The origin of these 12 cannons is..." Yang Zongdao also showed helplessness in his eyes.
It turns out that this is another product of a game between domestic political forces.
These 12 double-caliber infantry guns are actually not imported for the first time. When the 75mm Bofors Mountain Cannon began to be equipped with troops, Yu Dawei, the director of the Chinese Ordnance Department responsible for purchasing Bofors Mountain Cannon, noticed that the Bofors Mountain Cannon
The company's artillery has excellent performance, but he is only responsible for the purchase and has no decision-making power to increase the ordering plan.
Therefore, he ordered one and returned it to China to demonstrate the power of this artillery to the supreme leader and principal and purchase it in bulk.
As for the principal, he had many things to do. Although he was full of praise for the performance of the artillery when he watched it, he completely forgot about it afterwards. Yu Dawei, a small director of the Ordnance Industry Department, could not stare at the elder and ask when.
Buy, the purchase was delayed for half a year.
As a result, the news somehow got known to a certain Mr. Song who was vigorously equipping his own tax police corps.
But that person had a wealthy owner, and the money was not spent on himself. He immediately found the Swedish Bofors Company and bought these 12 doors.
As a result, as soon as they arrived at the customs, Yu Dawei, who was still waiting for the principal's signature, found out, and he almost made the stubborn master angry and vomited blood. The country's army was still waiting for these cannons to be fired!
You powerful people are so active in building your own private army and using the country's money. This is simply intolerable to me, but not tolerable to my aunt.
Therefore, this stubborn man refused to give the powerful Mr. Song any face, and refused to issue a weapons import license from the Ordnance Industry Administration. The customs could not see this license and did not dare to give Mr. Song the green light to import it privately.
Weapons in that dynasty required beheading.
This delay can be delayed until the Battle of Songhu. The whole Songhu is reduced to a pot of porridge. Who cares about the 12 artillery pieces left in the customs warehouse? In the end, when the battle is defeated and the retreat begins, they will not be treated as rubbish again.
Lost it all the same!
Could the military intelligence station, which was ordered to stay underground in Songhu, have to take advantage of these hot potatoes again?
For Yang Zongdao, no matter how good the performance of artillery is, it still has a ball. They are walking in a secret tunnel, and they are not equipped with many submachine guns. Pistols and shell guns are the standard equipment. They are just a bunch of useless iron lumps with no luck.
Go away, and still occupy the funds of his Songhu Intelligence Station. Why don't you take the opportunity to dump it to Tang Tuanzuo this time?
Anyway, Tang Dao can quietly transport more than 200 officers and soldiers of the 542nd Regiment, so it will definitely be able to transport these big guys. A major general-level agent still has the judgment.
"Okay! For the sake of your kindness, Stationmaster Yang, I will take all these things away." Tang Tuanzuo's reluctant look made a new major general secretly just want to roll his eyes.
"Of course, it's rude to come back without reciprocating! Station Master Yang, you talk about brotherhood like this, and I, Tang Dao, can't just take your things for nothing. I personally donated 10,000 US dollars to the intelligence station's office funds. Station Manager Yang
Please be sure to accept it, sir."
"Okay, on behalf of Director Dai, I would like to express my gratitude!" Yang Zongdao instantly beamed with joy.
It can only be said that Tang Dao understands the world very well.
Brigadier Cheng had a personal relationship with him, but he had already helped Tang Dao once. In order to report to the summit how he rescued Xie Jinyuan and others this time, he racked his brains and made up a "shattering story"
Rescue plan, bragging about his wisdom in traveling among the major forces in the concession, so much that he even blushed when he saw it.
But what can he do if he doesn't brag? If he doesn't brag more, who can believe that he managed to get a few living people out under the guard of more than 300 armed soldiers from the Roman Empire in the concession, and even sat on a cargo ship of an American company?
Arrive in Jiangxia grandly.
The surprise given to Tang Dao was not for nothing. It didn’t matter if Tang Dao had no money. Anyway, the favor was owed. As a result, Tang Dao was very understanding of human nature and came to reciprocate the favor. 10,000 U.S. dollars is equivalent to a small fortune.
Wan Dayang is not too much, but definitely not too much.
As for what he said on behalf of Director Dai, it was of course just words. He resold public supplies worth over a million yuan in exchange for a mere 50,000 yuan. If that person found out, his new major general's star might not have even warmed up yet.
It's about to be ripped off!
Not a dime will be handed over to him, and everything will fall into his pocket. When it comes to collecting money, this spy chief who has been in the national military system for more than ten years is definitely a good hand.
"Webmaster Yang, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate happily again in the future like this time!" Tang Dao said meaningfully as he shook hands with the ordinary-looking middle-aged man and said goodbye.
"I hope so." Yang Zongdao replied to Tang Dao in a rather mocking manner.
He obviously misunderstood Tang Dao's meaning, thinking that Tang Dao represented Brigadier Cheng and even the 80th Army's attempts to win over him.
To be honest, although he admired the idealism of the senior officials of the 80th Army, the reality reminded him clearly that the principal had already unified China, and the 80th Army only had tens of thousands of people in a corner, so it was difficult for him to communicate with the principal.
to contend with the huge strength.
If nothing else happens, if the Japanese are driven away in the future, China will still be dominated by the same political forces.
People can't live with ideals in mind, they have to succumb to reality after all. He can help them for the sake of ideals, but he will never choose to take sides easily.
Therefore, his answer to Tang Dao, "I hope one day" is actually more of a wish.
However, Tang Dao does not mean this.
Because, in the past time and space, this super double agent who provided a large amount of intelligence to the 80th Army will soon be suspected due to an intelligence leak, and will eventually be transferred from the military command, lose power and be idle. After the war, there will be
This kind of experience will not be recognized in China in the future, and he will eventually die alone.
But this time, because of Tang Dao's arrival, he was promoted to military rank and became a higher-ranking figure within the military system, greatly reducing the possibility of exposure.
But the southeast is still one of the most tightly monitored areas by the government. It is obviously dangerous to stay here and have contact with the underground organization of the 80th Army, so it is better to go away.
Tang Dao knew that this person had misunderstood what he meant, so he smiled slightly: "Stationmaster Yang, you are already a general or at least a general here. No matter how difficult it is to make a difference, the more you do, the more mistakes you make, so it is better to find another way!"
"You mean..." Yang Zongdao was slightly startled.
But Tang Dao didn't answer any more, turned around and left.
If you are a smart person, you will naturally make your own correct choice. Tang Dao has no obligation to help others make choices. All choices are still left to him.
Reminding him also repays the favor for giving him such important equipment.
As for whether we can really cooperate again in the future, Tang Dao really doesn't know if there is a chance.
China is really big. For some people, once they say goodbye, it will be a lifetime, even in the future era when transportation is extremely developed!
Looking at Tang Dao's leaving figure, the major general-level agent standing in the shadows was thoughtful.
Half a month later, because Yang Zongdao himself applied for medical reasons, the military commander transferred him from the Songhu intelligence agency, which he had occupied for more than ten years, and went to the southwest to become the top person in charge of the military commander's intelligence station in Yunnan and Guizhou.
In a house in Jiangxia, the middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who signed the transfer order with a gloomy face also breathed a sigh of relief.
The gloomy middle-aged man has always been very conflicted about this capable man under his command. Since the early 1930s, high-level intelligence has been leaked continuously, resulting in frequent spies but it has been difficult to arrest the senior officials of the 80th Group Army stationed in Songhu. This has made people feel uncomfortable.
It was quite confusing, and when the high-ranking officer of the 80th Group Army named Gu was secretly arrested, although he could not directly target a specific person, many doubts pointed directly at Yang Zongdao, the third person in charge of Songhu at the time.
If it were anyone else, even if there was no evidence, he would have been arrested and tortured to extract a confession. But Yang Zongdao was not an ordinary person. He was one of the earlier batch of people who followed the principal, and he studied abroad at Waseda University in Japan.
, has rich experience in dealing with Japanese people, and is an extremely rare talent.
As a result, Yang Zongdao was promoted all the way to the head of the Songhu Intelligence Station without being fully trusted, but his military rank was stuck at colonel and could not be promoted.
It was not until this great success was achieved that the principal was overjoyed and finally broke through the bottleneck.
But for this gloomy middle-aged man, the suspicions from many years ago have always been stuck in his throat. If Yang Zongdao continues to stay in Songhu, with his control over the Songhu intelligence agency, he will almost cover the sky with one hand, and it will be difficult for anyone to form an effective influence on him.
Monitoring, if there is really any problem, it may poke a hole in the sky in the future.
However, given Yang Zongdao's current position, even he would not be able to handle it if he wanted to, unless he caught concrete evidence.
Fortunately, Yang Zongdao was very understanding and proposed to transfer away from Songhu, where the confrontation was very fierce, on the grounds that he had been feeling unwell for a long time in a dangerous place.
That was playing into the hands of the gloomy middle-aged man. By removing it and then placing it in another of his confidants, he could not only get rid of the situation where Yang Zongdao couldn't get rid of him, but also check whether Yang Zongdao really had a problem in Songhu.
As for transferring Yang Zongdao to that area, this person also spent a lot of thought.
Naturally, you cannot go to that place in North China. It is the place where the war between China and Japan is fierce. If Yang Zongdao is allowed to make great achievements again, he is already a major general. How can he be promoted? Is it possible to give him the position of director?
Of course, it's even more impossible since it's too close to the 80th Army Group.
After much deliberation, only Dian QXN, far away from the war, is the most suitable for him, especially the spring-like climate in Kuncheng all year round, which is the most suitable for him to maintain his health, and it also shows his concern for his subordinates.
The gloomy middle-aged man who had exhausted all his agencies did not expect that just this transfer order would completely drive his capable general to the other side.
First, Yang Zongdao only listened to Tang Dao's suggestion and tentatively made an application to his thoughtful bureau chief. After all, Songhu was the place where he had stayed for ten years. No one else would be willing to leave, and he would not be an exception.
Unexpectedly, his deep-thinking bureau chief actually agreed to his application without showing any superficial courtesy. This made the agent who had been in the intelligence system for many years break into a cold sweat.
The reasons are terrifying to think about!
After working under Director Dai for many years, Yang Zongdao knew his boss's cruel methods, such as lighting sky lanterns, skinning people on alleys, and throwing people into wooden barrels full of leeches. Just listening to this would give people chills.
Vertical punishment is the norm. The Japanese female spy originally refused to be punished, but before she even entered the barrel full of leeches, she was immediately punished with all the punishments.
Yang Zongdao still remembers the screams of the Japanese female spy because of extreme panic.
It is also difficult for him to guarantee that he will not tell something about what he has done under the endless tricks of his boss.
Once this vigilance and suspicion arises, it is difficult to go back. If you want to escape from the clutches of a certain director, there is only one place to go.
Secondly, I am afraid that the major general agent did not expect that Tang Daohui would come true to his prophecy and that they would actually cooperate again, and the cooperation would be even more pleasant than this time in Songhu.
At that time, Tang Dao had grown to the point where the principal was extremely afraid of him but could not defeat him.
Because not only does he have strong soldiers and horses under his command, but he also has an elite infantry regiment that is called the first regiment in the Asian battlefield by foreign media. There is also a faint shadow of the American Rockefeller Foundation behind him. The principal who has completely embraced the United States and wants to help him must not break up with the United States.
, otherwise Tang Dao will be as stable as a rock.
The fate of the major general spy who was originally unlikely to make it onto the stage of history and finally died alone, here, magically turned a corner and embarked on a path that was different from the past time and space.
Tang Dao, the instigator, naturally didn't know about it. He carried a full harvest and returned to Jincheng from the sea again, and arrived at HD to join Shangguan Yun and others who were waiting for him.
The security company, reconnaissance company and a baggage company of the Fourth Army Regiment have been waiting for him in the Taihang Mountains next to HD for nearly half a month.
All the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment are eagerly awaiting the return of their top commander who has been away for nearly two months.
The Battle of Jiangxia had already started a month ago. This time, because of the sufficient experience and preparations for the Battle of Xuzhou, the Japanese East China Front fought extremely hard, and one division was even surrounded and almost escaped annihilation.
The Japanese North China Front Army had to dispatch two divisions to prepare to go south to support the East China Front Army. The Second Theater, which was still confronting the Japanese North China Front Army, also received a secret order from the Ministry of Military Affairs.
