Cao Xinglong asked again: "Tourist, would you like to go to a bank run by Japanese first?"
"Let's not rush this yet." Yue Weihan waved his hand and asked, "Is there a warehouse near Zhengding Railway Station?"
For Yue Weihan, although money is important, it is far less important than the equipment at the Taiyuan Arsenal, so Yue Weihan is eager to know whether these equipment are still at Zhengding Station? If the war was not too tense in the early morning, the Japanese plane would have returned after dawn.
If he had come to join in the fun, Yue Weihan would have already ordered a search of the entire city.
"Yes." Cao Xinglong said, "There is a large warehouse not far from the station."
"Let's go, come with me now!" Yue Weihan said and turned around to leave.
In less than ten minutes' ride, Yue Weihan and his party arrived at the warehouse near Zhengding Railway Station.
It was indeed a very large warehouse, covering an area of several hundred acres. It was filled with rows of warehouses, surrounded by high walls, with barbed wire surrounding the walls, and sentries every fifty meters.
, but there are no Japanese soldiers standing guard above, replaced by soldiers from the Baoshan Brigade.
The convoy went straight through the gate and entered the storage area.
Yue Weihan jumped off the truck, strode to the first row of warehouses and stopped, then turned back to Cao Xinglong and said: "Open the door!"
Cao Xinglong turned around and waved. Two soldiers had already rushed forward. They swung their rifle butts and broke the iron lock. Then they pushed open the heavy warehouse door. Yue Weihan walked into the warehouse surrounded by Liu Yi and Cao Xinglong, only to find that
Inside are all neatly stacked cotton bales, at least tens of thousands of bales!
Yue Weihan's eyes suddenly lit up, this cotton is a good thing!
With so much cotton, if it could all be woven into cotton cloth, the officers and soldiers of the Baoshan Brigade would each be issued two new military uniforms.
However, this is not what Yue Weihan is looking for this time. Although the cotton is good, where can the arsenal equipment be better?
At that moment, Yue Weihan had someone open the second row of warehouses. What was stored here was not cotton, but bolts of already woven cotton. In fact, before the fall of North China, there were more than a dozen cotton mills in Shimen City, among which the largest
The Daguang yarn factory has more than 30,000 spindles, which is quite a large scale.
The third row of warehouses stores brand new military uniforms, but they are all uniforms of little devils.
The fourth row of warehouses stores leather materials, including sheepskin, donkey skin, cowhide, etc.
The fifth row of warehouses stores daily necessities such as foreign oil, matches, soap, needles, thread, buttons, etc., as well as medical drugs.
Starting from the sixth row of warehouses, Yue Weihan finally found what he wanted!
The heavy door slowly opened, and Yue Weihan saw at a glance the neatly packed wooden boxes on the ground. He asked someone to open one of the wooden boxes, and there was a small drilling machine inside! Then he opened the next one.
The rectangular wooden box contains the feed screw of a large lathe!
"Hahaha..." Yue Weihan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed unscrupulously.
At this moment, Yue Weihan was really happy. Everything was as he expected. The thousands of pieces of equipment disassembled by Little Japan from the Taiyuan Arsenal were not transported to the Northeast in time, but were stranded in Shimen due to lack of transportation capacity! This
Come on, all this equipment is cheap for someone else!
Liu Yi, Cao Xinglong and others next to them looked at each other in confusion.
By the way, since the breakout of Xuzhou, the mood of the host has not been very good. Most of the time, he has a straight face, and his words and actions are cold. Especially after Chairman Chiang insisted on going his own way and launched a large-scale counterattack on the Wuhan battlefield, the host's mood was not very good.
My mood was extremely bad, I was always lecturing others, and I became a little nervous.
"Okay, that's it. With this property, our Baoshan Brigade can have fun with the little devils!" Yue Weihan's laughter suddenly stopped, and then he turned back to Cao Xinglong and said, "Dalong, you immediately mobilize a battalion
Come here and guard this warehouse for me. If something is missing here, you are the only one I have to ask!"
Cao Xinglong straightened up suddenly and said solemnly: "Yes!"
At this moment, a figure flashed at the door, and Major Liu Xin walked in smartly.
The equipment of the Taiyuan Arsenal was already in hand. Yue Weihan was in a good mood and wanted to tease Major Liu Xin. He immediately said to Major Liu Xin seriously: "Major Liu Xin, there is something on your face."
"Is there anything?" Meimei Liu Xin touched her pretty face and said in confusion, "No?"
"There's something." Yue Weihan's lips were already smiling, but his expression was very serious, "You have a flower on your face!"
Miss Liu Xin's pretty fair and pink face suddenly had two red clouds rising up, and then she gave Yue Weihan a fierce look and said in a crisp voice: "The Military Commission is calling urgently!"
Yue Weihan and all the officers present immediately stood up to attention.
Major Liu Xin glanced at Yue Weihan again, then opened the folder in his hand and read softly: "It has been decided that Baoshan Brigade will be expanded into Baoshan Division, Yue Weihan will be promoted from Major General Brigade Commander to Lieutenant General Division Commander, and Liu Yi will be promoted from Colonel Chief of Staff
Promoted to major general and chief of staff! The rest of the officers have been promoted to the first rank. In addition, the Baoshan Division has made great contributions in defeating the enemy and restoring the territory, and will be rewarded with 100,000 yuan in French currency."
All the officers present were excited when they heard this. The Baoshan Brigade was finally expanded into a division!
Liu Yi and Cao Xinglong even took two steps forward and said happily to Yue Weihan: "Congratulations, master."
"Chief of Staff Liu, Commander Cao, please be patient. Now Lieutenant General Yue may not be in the division seat, but in the military seat."
After saying this, Major Liu Xin opened a second telegram and read: "This is to combine the Baoshan Division, the 181st Division, the new 6th Division, and the new 9th Division in southern Hebei, northern Henan, and western Shandong.
Established as the newly formed Sixth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, Yue Weihan is the commander and director of the Jilu Appeasement Office, Shi Yousan is the deputy commander, Gao Shuxun is the chief of staff, and Sun Dianying is the director of the political department!"
Liu Yi, Cao Xinglong and other officers were suddenly confused. The brigade seat had just been promoted to the division seat, but in the blink of an eye, it was promoted to the military seat again?
Although Yue Weihan was inevitably excited in his heart, there was not much excitement on his face. As for Chairman Chiang's intentions, Yue Weihan was even more aware of it. The expansion of the Baoshan Brigade into a division was just a gimmick. The National Government neither sent anyone nor did it.
When the gun is released, the only thing given is 100,000 French currency, and there is no telling whether the 100,000 French currency will arrive in the account.
As for the newly formed Sixth Army, it is even more empty-handed, at least for now! Who are Shi Yousan, Gao Shuxun and Sun Dianying? They are all old warlords who lived at the same time as Chairman Chiang, and they are all very old after all.
The party and state are elders, how could they obey the orders of a junior like Yue Weihan?
After all, Chairman Chiang did not give any substantial reward.
This is the most typical situation where you want the horse to run but don’t want to feed the horse grass.
In other words, ever since Yue Weihan led the Baoshan Brigade to break out of Xuzhou, Chairman Chiang had already lost his last trust in Yue Weihan. Now, due to the situation, he gave Yue Weihan the false title of Director of the Jilu Appeasement Office and Commander of the New Sixth Army.
It is absolutely impossible for him to give some substantial rewards.
But then again, Yue Weihan never thought about receiving any substantial reward from Chairman Chiang.
In Yue Weihan's view, it is very interesting that Chairman Chiang can give him the false title of commander of the New Sixth Army. With this righteous reputation, Yue Weihan has many means to deal with the three old warlords, Shi Yousan, Gao Shuxun and Sun Dianying. Yue Weihan has enough
The confidence of the New Sixth Army was integrated. In short, there were times when Chairman Chiang regretted it.
…………
She County, Wa Palace.
Shi Youxin hurriedly rushed into the side hall and shouted: "Brother, this is terrible!"
Shi Yousan, who was taking a nap, said unhappily: "What are you howling for? I'm not dead yet."
"Brother, something big has happened." Shiyou said, "I just got the news that the Baoshan Brigade took over Shimen and wiped out the 4th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Zhengding and the 8th Independent Mixed Brigade stationed in Shimen!"
"Huh!?" Shi Yousan jumped up immediately, and the sleepiness on his body had long since disappeared.
How difficult the Japs in southern Hebei are. My friend Sanbi knows better than anyone else. He has been coming to southern Hebei for some time with his own 181st Division and Gao Shuxun’s New 6th Division. But what’s the result? The troops are getting smaller and smaller.
The territory is getting smaller and smaller, and it seems that it is almost unbearable. The three friends are already considering joining the Japanese and becoming traitors.
Unexpectedly, the Baoshan Brigade completely wiped out two mixed brigades from Little Japan and even captured Shimen!
"Awesome, really awesome!" Shi Yousan said with fear, "Yue Weihan is really good at fighting!"
"Yes." Shi Youxin also nodded repeatedly, "I really don't know how this guy Yue Weihan led the troops? How can the Baoshan Brigade be so good at fighting? One brigade of troops can actually annihilate two small Japanese brigades.
We also captured Shimen in one fell swoop! This is a big city, and the Baoshan Brigade has grown in size this time."
Just as the brothers were sighing, Chief of Staff Bi Guanghuan strode in.
"Military seat!" Bi Guanghuan paid a military salute to his friend San, and immediately opened the telegram and read, "This is the Baoshan Division in southern Hebei, northern Henan, and Western Shandong, the 181st Division, the new 6th Division, the new 9th Division
The division was jointly organized into the newly formed Sixth Army of the National Revolutionary Army, with Yue Weihan as the commander and director of the Jilu Appeasement Office, Shi Yousan as the deputy commander, Gao Shuxun as the chief of staff, and Sun Dianying as the director of the political department!"
"What are you talking about? The New Sixth Army!?" Shi Youxin lost his voice, "Let this boy Yue Weihan be the army commander? Is it wrong?"
Shi Yousan, after all, the city is deeper, and he frowned and asked: "What about my 69th Army? Just revoked the designation?"
"That's right, why should we revoke the designation of the 69th Army?" Shi Youxin also shouted loudly, "If you ask me, Yue Weihan's Baoshan Division and Sun Dianying's New 9th Division should also be incorporated into our 69th Army. Although this guy Yue Weihan
He knows how to fight, but he is still young after all. It would be good for him to be the deputy army commander. This army commander must be made by my eldest brother."
"Army, Deputy Arms, this is an order from the Military Commission."
Bi Guanghuan could only smile bitterly, but he was slandering in his heart, what nonsense is the 69th Army?
Gao Shuxun's new 6th Division has never bought Shi Yousan's account. Although the 181st Division is a division in name, it actually only has two regiments left. Look at the Baoshan Division, which is a legitimate direct descendant.
The Central Army, with a total of 40,000 soldiers, wants the Baoshan Division to be incorporated into the 69th Army? These two brothers really dare to think about it.
