Wang Ping received the news that night and went to the theater headquarters for negotiations the next morning.
When Wang Ping arrived, he was greeted by a lieutenant general, which showed that the war zone attached great importance to these heavy weapons.
After a long, painless compliment, the two finally got down to business.
"Captain Wang, our commander basically agrees with the transaction proposed by your army. Equipment from several production lines can be exchanged for all the equipment and ammunition of a heavy artillery regiment and a tank battalion. However, we also have two requirements."
"The first requirement is that the equipment you want can only be used to produce ammunition!"
"The second request is that the price offered by your army is too high. After all, those equipment are the equipment in active service captured by the Japanese army, not new!"
"This is easy to talk about!" Wang Ping replied readily.
"Heavy artillery plus ammunition and two cars cost 10,000 ocean dollars each. I'll give it to you for 120,000 ocean dollars each!"
"Tank prices remain unchanged!"
"As for the equipment you gave me, it must be in complete sets without any problems... The equipment from fifteen years ago was sold to us at a discount of 50%, and the equipment from ten years ago was sold to us at a discount of 35%.
One set will be given to us, and new equipment purchased within ten years will be given to us at a discount of 20%!"
Several black lines appeared directly on the lieutenant general's forehead, and he understood that it was Wang Ping who opened his mouth again...
After hesitating for a few seconds, the two people were haggling in the small conference room like businessmen.
In the end, the World War II zone exchanged all heavy artillery and tanks from Wang Ping for the price of three bullet production lines, one grenade production line, and one mortar shell production line, plus a few simple weapon repair equipment and a thousand submachine guns.
And we agreed to trade in Guangping Town at night five days later!
That night Wang Ping returned to the Third Battalion Defense Area. After locking himself in his room and writing an encrypted telegram in person, he gave orders to Yan Song.
"Send this secret message to the political commissar immediately. He knows how to do it... Also, immediately tell me all the troops you can use now!"
Wang Ping's series of orders made Wang Ping Yansong very confused. It took him a long time to react: "Commander, the troops have just arrived here, and they have not fully controlled dozens of villages and towns. Now there is only one guard company and one infantry artillery company.
The troops have all been released!"
Wang Ping frowned, and then continued to ask: "How many troops can you mobilize within three days to ensure that there will be no trouble in all the occupied areas and that the little devils in the county will not come out to cause trouble?"
"This...I want to do some math~" Yan Song immediately turned his attention to the map next to him.
He hesitated for a full five minutes before answering: "We can also mobilize a mortar company, a heavy machine gun company, and two infantry companies... However, because the army has not been expanded yet, these two infantry companies are not full, and only
There are over a hundred people, but the firepower has not been weakened!"
"That's enough!" Wang Ping replied immediately.
Then he also turned his attention to the map. After a few seconds, he pointed at a point on the map and gave an order.
"This is Guangping Town. There is a mountain three kilometers to the east. This place is left to your Lao Yang to take charge. You will personally lead a guard company, a mortar company, an infantry artillery company, a heavy machine gun company, and any other personnel you can deploy.
Two infantry companies of ours marched day and night to get here, and then lurked for me. Without my order, they cannot move even if the sky falls!"
Yan Song finally couldn't help but asked: "But, Commander, that place is still the territory of the little devils!"
"Also, is something going to happen again? If it doesn't work, I'll draw another company from the new camp!"
"I can tell you the reason, but you must keep it absolutely confidential before it happens!" Wang Ping hesitated before answering.
He knew that if he didn't give Yan Song a clear answer, even if Yan Song carried out the order to the letter, he would still feel guilty, which would be detrimental to the subsequent battle.
In order to ensure that there would be no accidents, he decided to make peace with Yan Song.
In less than five minutes, Yan Song was shocked by the huge deal Wang Ping said.
But soon, his face was replaced by surprise.
The current New Regiment does not lack weapons, but it is very short of ammunition. Although the regiment headquarters did not say it clearly, the amount of ammunition received by the third battalion during the expedition to Xiangning County speaks for itself. Moreover, on the battlefield, the troops did not capture any ammunition.
Without ammunition, the weapons are worse than fire sticks.
Whether you are fighting Japanese soldiers or training troops, as a commander, you have to remember many things to avoid.
If military divisions had arsenals that could mass-produce ammunition, these problems would disappear.
He was overjoyed. When he thought of Wang Ping's order just now, the smile on Yan Song's face was suddenly replaced by worry.
"Captain, you are worried that the gangsters in the World War II zone will seize our heavy weapons, but you won't give us those equipments!"
Wang Ping shook his head and replied: "I'm not worried about the World War II zone. They still have some integrity. And I'm not a vegetarian. If they don't see the equipment I want, they will definitely not be able to get those heavy weapons back!"
"What I'm most worried about is the Japanese. I'm afraid that the Japanese will suddenly appear and cause trouble!"
"How could the Japanese know about this deal? We will definitely keep such a big thing a secret!" Yan Song asked with a frown.
"It is true that we can cook secretly here, but it is impossible over there in the World War II zone." Wang Ping answered helplessly.
"There are all kinds of troops in the World War II area, and there is a mixed bag of good and bad people there. There must be Japanese spies lurking in their headquarters. And purchasing all the heavy equipment for a heavy artillery regiment and an armored battalion is such a big thing, even if they want to keep it secret, they can't do it!
"
"Once there is a heavy artillery regiment in the World War II zone and we have our own arsenal to produce ammunition, the Japanese North China Front Army will definitely be under greater pressure when fighting us. Therefore, as long as they know about this deal, they will do everything they can to
Methods to destroy, or directly destroy these things."
"Destruction is the most likely!" Yan Song said with a frown.
"In this way, there is no heavy artillery regiment in the World War II zone, and we no longer have the arsenal. This is the most beneficial thing for them!"
"Captain, please let us lurk around the trading point to protect the equipment!"
Wang Ping nodded first, then shook his head, and finally replied: "Not only must we protect the equipment, but we must also protect those heavy artillery and tanks!"
"What I'm most worried about is not that the Japanese will destroy these equipment and heavy artillery. What I'm worried about is that the Japanese will send out heavy troops to directly rob the trading point, take away all the equipment and heavy artillery, and take it for themselves."
"If they destroy it, they won't be able to remove many people. Maybe the escort team can handle it..."
"If the Japanese really want to send out heavy troops to rob us, it will be bad~ After all, the trading point is in their control area!"
