Chapter 303 Our enemies are not just Japanese pirates
On the day when the second dragon raised its head in February 1940, Yang Zhen, who had not fully recovered from his injuries, ignored the dissuasion of others and rushed to Luobei Airport in person to see off Li Yanping and his party. Looking at it, it was so packed that it was almost full.
The nine transport planes carrying the maximum capacity climbed into the sky one after another until they disappeared into the northern sky. Yang Zhen withdrew his gaze. [.Com text]
Next to Yang Zhen, Guo Bingxun, who also looked at the fleet of planes completely disappearing into the sky before looking back, poked Yang Zhen, who was silent, and pointed at a Soviet transport plane parked on the other side, as well as someone standing beside the plane.
Kovalev, who was looking this way, said: "Commander, it's time for you to get on the plane. If you don't get over, Comrade Kovalev will probably go crazy."
Turning his head and looking at Kovalev and the other two Soviet officers who had been waiting there for a long time, Yang Zhen waved his hand and said: "Let them wait. It will take at least ten days for me to leave, and the political commissar is not here either. I want to
Stay with you for a little longer."
Hearing this, Guo Bingxun smiled and said: "You should live calmly. But it's okay, let them wait. These days, the threshold of your ward is almost broken by him, so I don't want to wait any longer. I happen to be here too."
There are some things I need to discuss with you. In the past two days, you have been preparing to cross the river, and I have been collecting supplies, so I can't take care of it for the moment."
Yang Zhen sighed and said: "As soon as the political commissar and I leave, all matters in the military region will fall on you and Gao Yumin. You have to take care of yourself. When things need to be divided, you should divide them out to reduce your own burden.
, you can also mobilize the enthusiasm of the cadres below. Also, please pay attention to the third division, Chai Shirong's ability is far worse than Deputy Commander Zhao. But, eh?"
Guo Bingxun clearly understood the regretful meaning of Yang Zhen's sigh. Deputy Commander Zhao's military ability was unparalleled. Huangpu graduates and those who have fought guerrillas for so many years are definitely good materials. If you can calm down and take a good look.
If he specializes in military issues, his future is still very bright. But his desire to get into trouble is really troublesome.
Thinking of the conversation between Yang Zhen and him before getting on the plane, Guo Bingxun could only smile and shake his head. Guo Bingxun knew that there was basically no possibility of him returning to the Northeast after leaving. With Yang Zhen's character, he would never agree again.
He is back. He will not allow anyone to do this in his army. It is a pity for a talented person.
Yang Zhen, who didn't know what Guo Bingxun was thinking, ignored his feelings and said to himself: "Old Guo, you must pay more attention to the movements of the Japanese army during this period. The roads in spring are muddy and not suitable for large troop operations. I
I guess these few months will be our last chance to take a break."
"First, we must urge the troops to seize the time to conduct final training, especially tactical synthesis training. Second, we must increase ammunition reserves, especially artillery shells of various calibers. The quantity must reach our predetermined reserves. We cannot have the hundreds shipped from Jiangbei.
If you have 10,000 rounds of artillery shells, you can sit back and relax. You must reserve more than ten basic Japanese-style artillery shells. If we fight again, it may be really earth-shattering."
Hearing this, Guo Bingxun nodded and said: "Commander, don't worry. The arsenal has been working overtime. Over the past few months, only Japanese-style 75mm mountain artillery shells have been produced, with a reserve of 200,000 rounds. Various calibers
There are about 500,000 rounds of mortar shells. There are also 50mm grenades, 37 rapid-fire artillery shells, and 20-caliber anti-aircraft shells. The quantity is enough to last a year."
"I asked them to stop the production of 7.62mm Soviet-made ammunition. The reserves we have on hand are enough for these few Soviet-made rifles for about a year. The number of 79mm bullets is also sufficient, and now the arsenal is in full swing
We are fully committed to the production of Japanese 65 and 77 bullets. We also supply 7.63 pistol bullets for submachine guns."
"It is estimated that by the beginning of summer, our production plus original reserves, Japanese-style bullets should reach about hundreds of millions. The original reserves of 79 ammunition plus those shipped from Jiangbei will be even larger, with a total of 200 million rounds.
Fa. Jiangbei was very generous this time, and all the 180,790 bullets shipped were in good condition, and a considerable number of them were even produced within two years."
"Even half of them are bullets with extremely high performance produced by Germany and the Czech Republic. The Poles followed Germany and got a lot of good things for themselves by invading the Czech Republic. Originally, in order to prepare for the Soviet army's eastward advance, they all stored it in the Soviet Union.
On the Polish border, this time we were all advantaged."
"In this batch of arms, there are only 220 100mm Czech-made and their own imitation patented light howitzers, 68 105mm Schneider field guns, 155mm French and
I have more than 60 imitation howitzers. I also have a large number of 75mm imitation Schneider mountain cannons, and there are more than 600 Czech original Skoda mountain cannons.”
"Sweden has more than 200 Bofors 37 anti-tank guns, 75 40mm anti-aircraft guns, 36 75mm anti-aircraft guns, and more than 100 Oerlikon 20mm anti-tank guns. Each
There are more than 2 million rounds of artillery shells of caliber 75, 100, 155 and 69. As for anti-aircraft shells, the number of 37 anti-tank shells is even greater. Jiangbei captured more than 200,000 Polish troops at once.
A complete set of weapons and equipment was seized."
"Such a large amount of munitions is enough to replace our entire army with ordnance. You must know that Bofors anti-tank guns and Schneider Mountain guns are all unavailable to anyone even if they want to buy them. Except for those that are too old from the First World War,
In addition to the Soviet-made and French-made mountain cannons produced, about 400 are 60% new. Most of them are made by the Czech Republic and Poland. Especially those Skoda mountain cannons are 80% new."
"Especially those Skoda mountain guns. The government once wanted to use them to replace the expensive Bofors mountain guns. But the price they sold to the National Government was extremely expensive and they simply couldn't afford it. The German arms can be paid for with mineral products, but the Czechs
Just open your mouth and get full cash.”
"These things, combined with the original reserves and existing equipment and ammunition, apart from the shortfall, are enough for us to expand two more field columns, ten brigades and ten heavy artillery regiments. Especially those artillery pieces
, even if all our artillery pieces are replaced, there will still be a lot left."
"I took a look and found that these artillery pieces, including the 155-heavy howitzer and cannon, were all made in Poland. The workmanship is slightly worse than the prototypes I saw in France, but the difference is very limited.
Although most of them are designs from World War I, their main performance does not seem to lag behind. Compared with Japanese artillery, their performance is basically the same."
"One of the 155 Schneider heavy howitzers was once the standard heavy howitzer selected by the government. Its performance is no worse than the 150-caliber heavy howitzers imported from Germany. Although the range is shorter, it is lighter and more suitable for China.
The condition of the roads. It’s a pity that they require all cash transactions and do not transfer technology, so China still can’t afford it.”
"A country that is about the same size as a province in China can completely manufacture such high-performance artillery by itself. Regardless of whether others imitate it, at least it can manufacture it by itself. A country that is less than half the size of our province can not only design it by itself.
, manufacturing, and can also export a lot. Look at others, and then look at us, almost everything is imported."
"According to the market price, even for second-hand goods, 20 million rubles is not enough to buy one-tenth of this quantity. The 200,000 helmets and light weapons alone are more than this price. The market value of these things is at least
More than 500 million U.S. dollars. And Jiangbei charged us a total of 12 million rubles for shipping of this batch of arms, and almost all the rest was free. This is really generous.
These days, Yang Zhen has not been busy going to the front line with Du Kaishan to check the terrain. He was seriously injured before returning and stayed in the hospital for nearly two months. It was Li Yanping and Guo Bingxun who received the Polish-made weapons transferred from Jiangbei.
I'm doing it all by myself. When he heard the number of weapons in this batch, Yang Zhen was somewhat surprised.
He was just surprised, but Yang Zhen did not shed tears of gratitude to Jiangbei. Regarding Guo Bingxun's emotion, he just smiled lightly and said: "Old Guo, you have to calculate it this way. This batch of weapons and ammunition is indeed worth the money, and the actual price is even far more than
The pricing between us has been determined. Coupled with the aircraft and tanks currently being trained in Jiangbei, these things are almost equivalent to free assistance."
"On paper, it seems that compared with the more than 300 million US dollars in weapons they sold to the Nationalist Government, we did get a big advantage. But you also have to know that compared with these equipment, except for artillery, they basically have no use.
In comparison, the hundreds of thousands of Soviet troops in the Far East who can be freed up for transfer to the west at any time once the war breaks out in the west are of greater value."
"For Jiangbei, these weapons and ammunition are important, but compared with the hundreds of thousands more mobile troops, they can still decide which ones are more important. You are a military expert, and there are hundreds of thousands more mobile troops on the battlefield.
You know very well that military strength can almost determine the outcome of a war."
"What's more, they have not only a Far East Military Region in the east, but also several major military regions such as the Transbaikal Military Region and the Siberian Military Region. If we can really block the Kwantung Army for them, they can even free up millions of troops and
A lot of weapons and equipment.”
"So this kind of cooperation is urgently needed for us, but it is more beneficial to them who are fully preparing for the war in Europe. The stronger we are now, the more beneficial it is to them. For them, the emergence of a new country in the Northeast
A strong anti-Japanese armed force is extremely beneficial."
"Although they have signed the "Japan-Soviet Non-Aggression Treaty" with the Japanese army, both Stalin and the Emperor of Japan know that this treaty is not even worth a piece of paper when necessary. To tear it up is simply worse than smoking a cigarette.
Easy. Don’t forget that Japan and Germany signed the International Treaty on Cominternship.”
"As an ally, the Japanese have a high chance of going north to attack the Germans. After all, the Japanese are notorious for taking advantage. Fighting on both sides is something Jiangbei doesn't want to see. Especially when they are facing each other at the same time.
It is impossible for them to bear the burden on two powerful opponents. So there is no need to feel grateful. Again, this is just mutual benefit."
Having said this, Yang Zhen paused and said: "In addition to making up for the shortage of each brigade according to our plan, the rest of this batch of equipment must be put into storage. When the troops are training, they must use the existing equipment on hand.
For the sake of the Lord, everything sent out must be kept strictly confidential, especially the artillery. Before going to the battlefield, no trace of it should be leaked."
"Once it leaks out, it will have nothing to do with us if it brings trouble to Jiangbei's diplomacy. I'm too lazy to worry about that, but I can't achieve the suddenness on the battlefield. Once the Japanese army is prepared, it will bring us
It’s a lot of trouble.”
Regarding Yang Zhen's idea, Guo Bingxun nodded in agreement and handed the leather bag in his hand to Yang Zhen and said: "This is half of the information for the artificial synthesis of penicillin. The remaining half is ready. As soon as the car from Jiangbei arrives, we will
Can be delivered immediately.”
"And the things you want, I have already prepared them. When taking those photos, all the props used are original German products used by the German Embassy in Changchun, and the printers used to print materials are also from German diplomatic agencies.
The standard printer used and all the props are absolutely real.”
"Your secret materials, Nomura Iwa, have all been handed over to the German military attaché in Changchun in the name of personal friendship. He just took some photos of them in the name of the Kwantung Army Intelligence Department when he handed them over."
"These materials were all handed over in the name of a major from the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs who tried to defect to the Kwantung Army last autumn, but was intercepted by us on the way. As for that major, we have secretly executed him. This matter
, it can be said that even if the gods come, no clues can be found. Except for Nomura Iwa and Kitano Takatsu, no one knows."
Having said this, Guo Bingxun looked at Yang Zhen and said: "Commander, I have always had a question, where did you get these things? Is it true or false? Is there something wrong with what you did? With your strategic vision,
, once Jiangbei really fails in the war against Germany, Japan will definitely intervene. This is not a good thing for us."
Although Guo Bingxun didn't finish what he said, Yang Zhen also understood what he meant. The words that he didn't finish must be the three words "inauthentic". He had given him such a great help, and he wanted to ask for it in return.
It's really hard to deal with something like this.
Regarding Guo Bingxun's thoughts, Yang Zhen did not answer him. Instead, he looked at the mountains of Xiaoxing'an Mountains in the distance and said after a long time: "Lao Guo, do you believe it or not? I did this just for us. It doesn't matter where these things come from.
, but these things can help us get rid of people who hinder us, right?"
"Besides, I haven't handed over all the latest weapons and equipment in Jiangbei that I have. Judging from their capabilities, they should be very confident in making improvements after learning that the intelligence has been leaked. Germany has not yet solved the problem of Western Europe.
If we have enemies behind us, we can give them at least a year and a half. I think that's enough."
"It's not that I'm cunning, nor that I'm ruthless. This man has caused us too much trouble now, and getting rid of him is our only choice. Not only him, but also everyone who wants to block our way forward.
The person, I don’t care what the reason is, must disappear from this world.”
“In this war that is related to the life and death of the Chinese nation and the great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, our enemies are not only Japanese pirates, but also all those who want to fish in troubled waters in this war, profit from it, and block our great cause of the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
, are all our enemies."
