The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 231 The situation is not good (Additional chapter 1010 for the color shadow master)

That night! After Li Bai and the two Gui army leaders left, guests representing the Northwest Army, Sichuan Army, Northeast Army, and even the Yunnan Army and the Central Army, different units and commanders, appeared one after another.

They still appeared in turns in great tacit understanding, with the next one appearing as soon as one left. It was definitely not the case that the two groups collided with each other.

These guys, who looked like businessmen and wealthy landlords but not like soldiers, drank cheap tea with Hu Biao and Hu Tuanzuo, and reached more or less some agreement after some trial and error.

Basically the same as the two superiors Li Bai, Hu Biao rejected their requests for recruitment and exclusive cooperation, and gave them some benefits, so the two sides did not completely break up.

In the end, after Annie was busy boiling six pots of water, the tea leaves were boiled to the point where there was no tea flavor at all, and Hu Biao also drank a bellyful of water.

On March 3, the sun slowly rose from the east, and the guests including Hu Biao came to visit.

After spending most of the night, we gradually completed contact and cooperation with various forces.

Although Hu Biao and Annie were the only ones chatting with the guests for most of the night, Chen Tang and the others were concerned about the progress of the plan, and basically no one slept.

The results came out after dawn, and no one had a chance to catch up on some sleep.

Every one of them perked up and got busy...

A little after 7 o'clock in the morning, two trucks appeared in front of the bamboo forest. Xufeng and Lao Yu were calling on everyone to come forward and unload the cargo.

The brothers of the Subei Independent Regiment discovered that there was not only a lot of rice and flour, but also a few pieces of pork and mutton, and many boxes of Uncle Sam's canned food.

There are also a wide variety of other large cooking pots, various seasonings such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., and even some military tents.

This is equivalent to the military rations and how to eat problems that they have always been worried about; their own Commander Hu not only solved it, but also solved it at a very high level.

By the way, you don’t have to sleep outdoors, as you have tents to live in.

A logistics officer who came with the vehicle didn't even want the truck after taking a small bag of medicine. He left happily with the driver and guards, as if he had made a big profit.

After unloading, I didn’t even have time to eat breakfast.

Mo Shuiyan and the wizard, Annie and Huang Yizi, each took some medicine and set off in a truck; the latter truck was driven by Annie, as Erpang didn't know how to drive this old-fashioned truck.

Mo Shuiyan and the wizard were going to the armory in the fifth war zone.

We are preparing to bring back a batch of weapons. This is what we agreed with Commander Li last night. The money from the medicines will be used to offset part of the equipment first, and the remaining amount will be paid with gold and cash.

Annie and Huang Yizi were going to join several miscellaneous military units.

Some veterans, or technical arms such as artillery, were brought back to expand the Subei Independent Regiment to at least 1,500 people.

It is also a powerful regiment with independent heavy machine gun companies, independent artillery companies, and pistol companies.

Otherwise! With just over a hundred people packed into Taierzhuang, it might not last long.

Of course, the people who stayed in the bamboo forest were not idle either.

After breakfast, they worked together to build cross piles, trenches, low walls, high board diving platforms, ladders, single-plank bridges, high walls, low pile nets, etc.

These are some of the necessary facilities for modern PLA to conduct 400-meter obstacle course training.

This is to prepare to reorganize the veterans from various units immediately after pulling back the equipment and personnel, and then conduct some PLA tactical actions and three-three tactical drills.

Since time is limited, they naturally know that the effect of training is limited, but it is better than nothing, right?
More importantly, they hope to take this opportunity to spread all of the above information; no matter which unit learns and practices it, it will ultimately enhance the country's military strength and be able to better fight the Japanese.

However, under the command of Chen Tang, a serious PLA veteran, Hu Biao and others who were busy at work did not know.

Mo Shuiyan and the wizard, as well as Annie and Huang Yizi, the subsequent actions of both groups did not go so smoothly...

******
A mouse fell into a rice jar. This was how Mo Shuiyan and the wizard felt when they, accompanied by a colonel, walked into a theater-level armory.

Are you kidding! Even if the Fifth War Zone is poor, it still has an army of hundreds of thousands.

The quantity and quality of equipment per capita may be a bit lacking, but there are still too many good things for a mere regiment.

Look! As soon as he entered the warehouse, Mo Shuiyan saw some boxes of Thompson submachine guns. Even though they were Yan Xishan's imitations and the quality was much worse than the originals, they were also automatic firepower.

According to the agreement between Hu Biao and the guests, although the veterans who agreed to be transferred to the Subei Independent Regiment would bring weapons, they would probably only be some rifles, so it was necessary to get a batch of submachine guns.

Mo Shuiyan immediately shouted at the major, "How many of these guns and the accompanying bullets are there? We want them all."

Faced with such a request, the major circled two items on a list in his hand, including 50 Jin-made Thompson submachine guns and 11.43 rounds of 2mm caliber bullets.

He shouted at the top of his lungs: "Come on, load the truck." The Jin-made Thompson submachine guns were just the beginning; in the following time, the two men were just like ordering dishes, and they would order a batch of anything they saw.

Twenty Czech-style light machine guns copied from the Hanyang Arsenal? Ten is fine, too.

Ten of the Min-24 heavy machine guns made at the Jinling Arsenal? Forget it, three will do.

I wonder where this imitation Mauser pistol is from? It's a 7.63mm caliber, and it only holds ten rounds. Better than nothing, I'll take all sixty-one.

The TNT explosives imported from Germany are definitely good stuff. Three hundred kilograms will be loaded onto the truck immediately.

This situation continued until Mo Shuiyan saw a German-made PAK36 37mm anti-tank gun, and he immediately shouted:
"Yes, yes! Our Subei Independent Regiment wants this gun."

With this thing, attacking the Japanese tanks is as easy as poking tofu with chopsticks, and you can hit them with every poke.

Unexpectedly, the major, who had always been willing to meet requests, with only a few restrictions on quantity, refused: "I'm sorry, the superiors said that this gun cannot be given to you."

Gritting his teeth, the wizard pulled out a small bottle of sulfa from his pocket and quietly stuffed it into his mouth while saying:
"Brother, please help me think of a solution. Our Commander Hu is an open-minded person and will definitely not treat you unfairly after this."

Although there is not much sulfa in the bottle, in these chaotic times, it is at least worth a big yellow croaker. The wizard has invested a lot of money.

The major hesitated for a moment before pushing the bottle away and explaining:
"Commander Li has issued strict orders. We cannot give you any imported anti-tank guns, let alone mortars. Although these things are valuable, you need a lifetime to spend them. Please don't make things difficult for me."

After hearing this explanation, Mo Shuiyan and the wizard immediately felt something was wrong and knew that their plan had gone wrong.

The wizard thought for more than ten seconds, then handed the bottle over and made another request:
"Brother, please help me think of a solution. Can you find us a lathe, a generator, and some materials? It should be fine."

"It's a small matter, of course no problem." As he spoke, the major quickly took the bottle...

At the same time, Hu Biao, Chen Tang and others looked at the group of female soldiers, a box of small yellow croakers and cash in front of them, and they also knew that their plan had gone wrong.

Because Annie and Huang Yizi had just brought back a truckload of soldiers, not the elite veterans they were expecting, but a total of 36 female soldiers.

It should be noted that these female soldiers are not the ones in modern film and television dramas.

The kind with a slim figure, wearing a clean and tidy military uniform, two shiny little braids on her head, a fair face, and a beautiful little pistol slung around her waist.

He was short and his military uniform was old and tattered.

The hair under the military cap only reached the ears, his skin was a little rough and dark, and he had one or two wooden-handled grenades on his belt around his waist. His eyes were full of simplicity and tenacity.

It must be said that this is what a female soldier who dares to go to the battlefield and fight the Japanese looks like.

But even so, based on the modern gentlemen's idea of ​​"keep women away from war", Hu Biao and others also had a headache when they saw these female soldiers.

But what gave them a greater headache was Anne's story:
"Boss Hu, something's strange going on today. I clearly agreed with the Second Group's quartermaster last night to exchange a batch of medicine for 200 veterans.

But they only gave it to these 36 female soldiers, and actually made up the rest with gold and cash.

Without enough troops, how can we execute the "flowering from the center" strategy? "How about I bring some more medicine and go to the Northeast Army and Sichuan Army's offices to see if I can get some wounded soldiers who have just been discharged from the hospital?"

After hearing this, Hu Biao reluctantly agreed:

"Go! But don't hold your hopes too high. Even if we can get some male soldiers, they won't be veterans or elite soldiers, and their number will be limited.

Because they are working together to put pressure on us and want us to compromise and give in to them."

"Damn it! It's already this time, and you're still playing these tricks." Chen Tang cursed indignantly.

However, things have come to this point, and we can only use these female soldiers; besides, women are as good as men, and these female soldiers look good and can fight the Japanese.

For this, he forced a smile, walked up to the female soldiers lined up, and asked the female soldier with the rank of Private First Class, who was leading the group:
"Where are you from, girl? What's your name? Are you afraid of going to the battlefield to fight the Japanese?"

"Sir, my name is Ling Lanfang, from Guangxi Province. I'm not afraid of going to the battlefield to fight the Japanese. They are just some Japanese pirates from a small island. They want to occupy our vast China. What a dream!"

With a determined expression, the female soldier answered in a voice with a strong Guiliu accent.

Such a firm expression and answer have been recalled by Hu Biao and others from time to time for many years.

The sons and daughters of China! Not only sons, but also daughters.

At this moment of national crisis, it is precisely because of countless sons and daughters like these who have stepped forward, using their shoulders to hold up the collapsing sky, that this nation has been able to continue...
