Four hundred and twentieth chapters made a fortune
"Something must have happened in the direction of Taiyuan!" Chen Zhengxiang glanced at the direction of Taiyuan City and said with a frown.
"That captain, this order!" the chief of staff asked hesitantly.
Since the establishment of the first detachment, the losses have never been so great. Now they are all exhausted. The chief of staff cannot imagine how many casualties the troops will have to pay if they continue to resist the Japanese for a whole day. Therefore, from the bottom of my heart, chief of staff
It is against this order!
"Follow the order!" Chen Zhengxiang also resisted this order.
But he did not forget that he was a soldier and a senior commander of the Eighth Route Army. Although he frowned, he still had the courage to give the order in the end.
Although the headquarters said in the telegram that after this battle, the headquarters would provide funds and weapons and equipment to restore the combat effectiveness of the troops. However, Chen Zhengxiang did not take it seriously.
As an old revolutionary, Chen Zhengxiang knew the situation at the headquarters very well.
Unless a windfall comes from heaven, the headquarters will definitely not have the funds, weapons and ammunition to support itself.
As for windfall, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely not happen to the Eighth Route Army.
After the expression on his face was slowly replaced by determination, Chen Zhengxiang did not say a word and directly ordered: "Order each regiment to strengthen the logistics troops, headquarters staff, and documents to the front-line combat troops. We still have to hold on for one day."
retreat."
"Also, remove all the ammunition we have packed at the bottom of the box and tell the three regiment commanders to save ammunition as much as possible and reduce casualties!"
"Also, inform the headquarters on the measures to prevent air attacks. There are still two or three hours before dawn, and they must be implemented immediately!"
At the Taiyuan Arsenal, more and more workers were temporarily called back to dismantle equipment under the command of technicians and engineers.
Even though several hours had passed, less than 10% of the equipment had been dismantled.
"We need more people! Chief of Staff, inform Brigadier Cheng to organize all the political cadres in the army and go to Taiyuan City to recruit soldiers, both students and young men. When one is recruited, one will be sent to the arsenal. The more the better!
)" Wang Ping was very dissatisfied with the progress of the arsenal's relocation and ordered with a frown.
As soon as the chief of staff left, the communications platoon leader rushed over with an excited look on his face.
"Commander, the headquarters sent a telegram, agreeing to give us one more day to evacuate Taiyuan. The entire army must withdraw from Taiyuan City before ten o'clock tonight!"
"Okay, I finally have time!" Wang Ping smiled, and he smiled very happily.
He immediately found Zhou Zihang and the political commissar of the arsenal and ordered: "Political commissar, Zhou Zihang informed me that the relocation of the arsenal will be left to you. I will evacuate the entire arsenal before eight o'clock tonight! No matter what you need, I will definitely satisfy you!"
"Cars, we need a lot of cars!" the political commissar replied without thinking.
"A lot of equipment in the arsenal is too heavy to be towed by large trucks, so we can only use cars. And if there are cars, our relocation will definitely be much faster!"
For the Eighth Route Army, cars are absolutely rare. If you search the entire army, you may only be able to find a few or eight.
Therefore, the political commissar regretted it after making this request.
But the result was unexpected. Wang Ping actually agreed, and he looked determined, not like he was fooling himself.
"Give me half an hour. In half an hour, there will definitely be a car coming to report to you!"
After saying that, Wang Ping walked outside the arsenal and ordered as he walked: "Captain Yang, bring me the Imperial Alliance Army member with the best position among the prisoners. I have a question!"
Not long after, a battalion commander of the Royal Association Army was dragged in front of Wang Ping, trembling all over.
Wang Ping was not polite and asked directly: "Cars, I need cars, and I need a lot of cars. You must be very familiar with Taiyuan City. As long as you find me enough 100 cars, I promise to let you go!"
As the capital of Shaanxi Province and the location of the Japanese First Army Headquarters, there must be a lot of cars, whether military or civilian.
However, if there were no local snakes to help me, I would not be able to find a few even if I searched the entire outer city of Taiyuan, and it would also be a huge waste of time!
"Sir, you're not lying!" Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the battalion commander of the Imperial Association Army asked with gleaming eyes.
"We in the Eighth Route Army keep our word and will never lie!" Wang Ping affirmed.
"Okay, I'm done, I'll help you find a car!"
What made Wang Ping depressed was that in the arsenal alone, the battalion commander of the Royal Association Army found more than 30 vehicles.
This is a vehicle specially used by the arsenal to transport weapons and ammunition to the front line. Because it is part of the baggage force, Zhou Zihang still does not know the existence of these vehicles even though he is the deputy director of a branch factory of the arsenal.
"Company Commander Wang, immediately arrange for people to send these cars to the arsenal and hand them over to the political commissar to transport the equipment outside the city. As long as the things are transported to the mountains outside the city, everything will be easy!" Wang Ping, who was both depressed and excited, immediately said to him
The guard company commander ordered.
"Captain, no one in our security company can drive a car!" the security company commander said with an embarrassed look.
Wang Ping's brows suddenly wrinkled, but it didn't take long for him to think of a way.
"There must be someone in the puppet army who knows how to drive. Go to the puppet army and find them. Tell them to help me drive for a day and give them fifty yuan as a reward!"
"There are also workers and students in the arsenal. They often come into contact with equipment. There must be some who know how to open it. Find them all!"
Time flies so fast in the busyness, and the Japanese plane that has been arrogant all day has just left, and God has given up.
However, the bustling arsenal did not quiet down just because it got dark.
Not far away, on the inner city wall of Taiyuan City where the Japanese troops were guarding, the sound of gunfire was very fierce, and a few stray bullets would fly over from time to time. However, the tragic battlefield did not affect the relocation of the arsenal.
As soon as Wang Ping walked in, the political commissar rushed over with a relaxed look on his face.
"Director, there is still one last workshop left. It's half past six now, and by eight o'clock at the latest, we will definitely vacate the arsenal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Xiao rushed over at some point with a smile on his face.
"Old Wang, we made a lot of money at the Japanese Taiyuan Airport. After removing all the removable anti-aircraft weapons, we actually have 36 anti-aircraft machine guns and 12 anti-aircraft guns, which is almost the equipment of an anti-aircraft regiment!"
"Also, the harvest in the city is also amazing!"
"Foreign banks, hospitals, banks, and the homes of Japanese and puppet soldiers, more than 4.58 million yuan were seized alone, and there was also gold worth 5 million to 6 million yuan!"
"I have packed all the funds into boxes and arranged a battalion to escort them. During the day, I will let them be sandwiched among the retreating troops and rush to the base area!"
"As for other supplies, as well as weapons and ammunition, there are even more. They can be described in countless four words!"
