Wang Guangyu still believes in Ren Guang's assurance, because as an old comrade, Wang Guangyu still knows Ren Guang's character, but after all, it is not a pleasant thing to deal with the Soviets. These people seem carefree on the surface. , in fact, he is very scheming. He is not too shrewd in making big calculations, but he is extremely precise in making small calculations.
It is difficult to plot against them, but it is easy to be plotted by them. The previous Anti-Japanese Alliance tried to use the same belief to win aid from the Soviet Union many times, but the aid provided was almost negligible. , except for tens of thousands of rounds of ammunition and a place for senior leaders to receive medical treatment and recuperation, they received nothing.
However, only for this limited assistance, the Anti-Japanese League had to sacrifice human lives. In order to obtain bargaining chips and obtain the Kwantung Army information that the Soviets urgently needed, ordinary cadres and soldiers did not know how much the Anti-Japanese League had paid. The person who is the deputy commander is very clear about it.
Wang Guangyu admired No. 1 very much. He was able to get so many things from the Soviets, including airplanes, tanks, and equipment. None of them were obtained by No. 1 from the Soviets. But when No. 1 was dealing with the Soviets, He also saw the hardships they had to pay. These equipment and assistance were not given by the Soviets in vain. The Anti-Japanese Alliance had no money, so they could only exchange them from other sources.
So Wang Guangyu didn't want to cause any trouble to the headquarters because of these seemingly huge supplies and equipment, but out of trust in Ren Guang, he didn't ask any further. With these windfalls, the troops would certainly be increased. Assault capability, no, it's not a big deal.
No. 1 once said that in war, equipment is certainly an extremely important factor that affects the progress of the war, but the more important factor is the people who operate these equipment rather than the equipment. As a senior commander, he must not develop There was a problem with over-reliance on advanced equipment. Therefore, although Wang Guangyu was very happy with these windfalls, he was more worried about whether the looting of the Mongolian army's equipment storage warehouse would bring any trouble to the headquarters.
Although my old comrade-in-arms has a habit of making foreign money, his habit is not to make money for himself. All the foreign money he made has been used in the army, and his work style is extremely rigorous. Although he has a tendency to make foreign money, I have financial problems, but I know what I should touch and what I shouldn’t touch.
Moreover, his habit of making money is not for himself but for his work. As the logistics minister in charge of the food, drink, sleep, and sleep of a main force of tens of thousands of people, the funds and materials allocated by his superiors are limited, and he can only ensure the most basic If necessary, if you want to keep the troops well fed, you can only try your best to find a way on your own.
He, the dignified logistics director of the main division of the Anti-Japanese Alliance, took the trouble to personally clean the battlefield after each battle. When cleaning the battlefield, he was too careful, so he was nicknamed a grate. The grate is a Chinese term. A special comb used to remove the thorns in the hair. The density of the comb teeth is much greater than that of an ordinary comb.
Lice, also known as lice eggs, are parasitic in human hair. They are extremely small and difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. It is difficult to remove them with an ordinary comb when combing your hair. Using this kind of thing to comb your hair can replace an ordinary comb. Small gnats that cannot be scraped off can also be removed to avoid diseases caused by parasites.
He was given such a nickname, which meant that when he was cleaning the battlefield, he would not let go of anything useful to the troops, not even a needle or thread, not even a Japanese corpse, as long as it was not buried. Let it go, the search was also quite thorough, and it was not like he had never done it before, even digging out the corpses of Japanese soldiers that had just been buried and not decomposing, and scanning them again.
Not only the watch, compass, document bag, various currencies on the body, and the belt on the military uniform were pried off, but even the gold teeth in the mouth and the gold rings on the hands were pried off. At the end of the battle last year, he used This method was used to obtain hundreds of thousands of counterfeit Manchu coins and Japanese yen for the First Division. Only gold products such as gold teeth and gold rings were handed over to the headquarters in one go.
After every battle, he had to personally interrogate the prisoners of the Japanese army's baggage troops. He had to see every munitions warehouse of the Japanese army before he could feel relieved. After the battle last year, every cadre above the company of the first division They were all issued a watch and a Japanese compass.
Ren Guang's work style can definitely be said to have benefited a lot from his first division. Not only did the troops eat well, but in addition to a full set of light and warm Japanese winter clothes, the first division was the first in the army. It has reached the level of one Japanese-made leather or leather trousers belt for each person in the division.
Even though the waistband problem seems very inconspicuous, at the moment when the Anti-Japanese Federation is still unable to provide each person with a waistband, it is remarkable that this problem was solved without a penny allocated by the headquarters. , you must know that the waistbands of ordinary anti-Japanese fighters nowadays are rarely made of canvas, let alone leather or high-end leather goods.
At present, ordinary cadres and soldiers mainly use ropes as a substitute. The actual provision of a canvas trousers belt for each person in the army was only realized after the US aid canvas entered the base areas in large quantities in 2002. Nowadays, imports and self-production are limited. Canvas is still mainly used to make ammunition carrying equipment and canvas military shoes.
As for the lining of the trousers, we still can't take it into consideration for the time being. It is not easy for Ren Guang to do this under the limited funds allocated by the headquarters, and he not only solved the problem of trousers for all the troops in the division. Regarding the belt issue, at the end of last year, each member of the division was given an additional towel, two shirts, and two pairs of underwear.
This is still the only one among the Anti-Japanese Alliance, which is still in short supply of supplies. You must know that the Anti-Japanese Army does not issue shirts to cadres and soldiers below the battalion level. It can give two shirts to tens of thousands of people in the entire division. A shirt and two pairs of underwear, which is unparalleled among division-level troops in the entire military.
During the Spring Festival dinner of the First Division troops, not only were they all served with fine grains, but also chicken, duck, and fish meat. The oil and water were so large that some soldiers were starved of food. This caused a sensation in the entire army and was very disappointing. The cadres and soldiers of other troops were jealous and lamented why their troops did not have such a capable logistics director.
There is a lot of oil and water in the stomach, and the morale of the entire division is naturally high and full of energy. The pre-war headquarters conducted actual combat training and combined drills. The troops of the first division were very motivated from top to bottom, otherwise they would not be engaged in the Fujin base. There was such a big commotion and a group fight that would probably make global news even in later generations.
During last year's battle, he even took a truck and traveled to various battlefields to remove the tires from all the destroyed Japanese vehicles found, including punctured and deflated tires. As long as the engines were not destroyed, they were also removed. He dismantled them and brought them back to the troops. He also carefully collected the empty gasoline barrels scattered on the battlefield. In order to bring these rags in the eyes of others, he even vacated several trucks of the division logistics department.
Not to mention that other troops did not understand his skill, even Li Mingfeng, who was later transferred to the First Division as the commander, did not understand why he collected these things. The troops' current cars are mainly American-made and Soviet-made, and Japanese-made. The number of cars is not that large. Even though the tires of these Japanese-made cars are not damaged, they are basically unusable due to different specifications.
But out of trust in this capable logistics minister, even though Li Mingfeng didn't understand, he didn't say much. It wasn't until this year's comprehensive exercise of the army that he discovered his true intention of collecting these tires and car engines, and then he could understand what he was doing. As a logistics minister, as long as the things he gets back are useless.
Some people laughed at him at that time, even asking for scraps that others did not want. However, these tires, which had become garbage in the eyes of others, were not used by the headquarters when the troops were conducting exercises in Fujin and building a military pontoon bridge across the river. There was no need to collect any tools or ferries.
In the shortest possible time, inflated tire inner tubes and empty gasoline barrels were tied up with wooden boards. In just half an hour, more than ten structures were built on the river more than ten meters wide for the troops of the first division. Although It is a pontoon bridge that cannot pass heavy equipment, but can carry heavily armed people across the river without any problems.
The three main regiments of the First Division all crossed the river in just a few dozen minutes. Even the relatively lightweight mountain artillery was dismantled and successfully crossed the river. Its crossing speed was several times faster than other troops. In addition, They also used old car engines and converted wooden boats into motor boats on site, allowing the heavy equipment to cross the river much faster than other troops.
These measures taken by Ren Guang ensured the advance speed of the 1st Division during the exercise without wasting any time for crossing the river. Ren Guang's move made his brother troops who had previously mocked him speechless. The army general meeting in April After the exercise, every logistics director of each unit was scolded. After the exercise, there was an endless stream of people from all units coming to the First Division to learn from it. This made Li Mingfeng proud for a long time.
Moreover, under his leadership, the First Division Logistics Department did not ask for a penny more from the headquarters. Not only did it equip all commanders above the company with watches, it also provided the entire division with good food and warm clothing. If not for two Ren division commander, especially Li Mingfeng, was firmly opposed and refused to transfer personnel. After the exercise, he was transferred to the Logistics Department by the Military Region Logistics Minister to serve as the Director of the Military Transportation Department.
Wang Guangyu naturally believed in this old comrade who had a very steady personality, was very careful, prudent, and had a broad mind. Especially with the assurance of this old comrade, he had no doubts. Worried, he said if there is no problem, then there should be no problem.
And in Wang Guangyu's view, such foreign wealth is nothing. As long as it does not involve the Soviets, it can be regarded as compensation from the Mongolian army after the Battle of Hailar. Anyway, after that battle, it was the Soviets who were compensating the Anti-Japanese Alliance. The Mongolians who caused the trouble did not pay a penny, so it is appropriate to shed some blood now.
If they are dissatisfied, they can ask for it from themselves if they have the ability. As long as they can beat themselves, can they return it to them? I'm afraid that now that there are not many Mongolians backing them up, they will no longer have the confidence they had at the beginning. It is what No. 1 said: political power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and power comes out of the barrel of a gun. Now the competition is not who has the right, but who has the big fist. Without the support of the Soviets, these Mongolians cannot even make their own bullets. What confidence do you have to compete with the Anti-League?
