After all the real numbers of this huge munitions warehouse were counted, no matter how calm Yang Zhen was, he was still a little excited. Looking at the reported list of supplies, Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly at his rare gaffe. I had secretly joked before that Wang Guangyu was a bit petty and could not see himself in big scenes, but he was no better now.
While Yang Zhen was excited about getting such a large batch of arms and supplies, he was worried that something might slip through the net and endanger Yang Zhen's safety. He led his own reconnaissance team with the assistance of a company sent by Wang Guangyu. Next, Li Mingrui reported another piece of news to Yang Zhen that should definitely be considered good news now.
"What, more than 10,000 workers were found alive in the rows of huts in the back mountain? And there is an unfinished warehouse?" After hearing Li Mingrui's report, Yang Zhen could no longer hide his excitement. , a happy smile appeared on his face for the first time in these days.
We have a large quantity of arms that can be considered sufficient, we have enough food to feed 30,000 people for two years, we have a large amount of medicine, military uniforms and other strategic materials that are enough to last tens of thousands of people for several years. Now we have provided sufficient supplies. Soldiers, Yang Zhenfang seemed to see a well-equipped and powerful anti-Japanese army appearing in front of him.
Looking at the smile on Yang Zhen¡¯s face, Wang Guangyu, Li Mingrui, and Dong Ping on the side couldn¡¯t hold back their excitement, and they all laughed happily. All fools know that with such a huge amount of supplies and equipment, it can be said to be a pillow falling from the world. Not only can the army's urgent needs be solved, but the army can also develop and grow.
Seeing that everyone, including Yang Zhen, looked excited, Wang Guangyu said: "This time the commander commanded like a god, and he took down such a large munitions warehouse of the Japanese without any blood, and seized so many supplies. Not only does it solve our current urgent needs, but it also lays a solid foundation for our future development and growth. You don¡¯t have to have wine, otherwise we should have a good drink and celebrate.¡±
Regarding Wang Guangyu's words, because there is no suitable candidate to replace him for the time being, Dong Ping, who is the headquarters' operational staff and also serves as the political commissar of the reconnaissance team, happily said: "Deputy Chief of Staff Wang, we don't have wine in China, but the kid's wine But a lot of sake has been seized. If you want to celebrate, how about talking to the commander and asking him to give you a few bottles?"
In response to Dong Ping's half-ridiculous, half-serious words, Wang Guangyu shook his head and said, "Come on, I've never drunk the kid's wine before. It's just like boiled water, it doesn't have much energy. If there is a jar, we will be blessed by Dehui." The Dehui Daqu produced by "Yuhe Shaoguo" would be so good. That is the real good wine, and it is the wine for men to drink."
When it comes to his hometown, Wang Guangyu, who has left his hometown since the September 18th Incident, not only feels homesick: "Since the fall of Northeast China, I joined the army, joined the Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army and went to Harbin to study, and it has been several years since I left my hometown. Now my military career, After a hundred battles on the battlefield, I don¡¯t know if I will ever have the opportunity to return to my hometown again and drink hometown wine.¡±
Seeing that Wang Guangyu was in a low mood, Yang Zhen patted him on the shoulder and said firmly: "Guangyu, as long as we work hard to kill the enemy and expel the Japanese invaders, we will definitely restore our beautiful country in Northeast China. Believe me, Believe in your comrades-in-arms, believe in our comrades. When the day of victory comes, we will all accompany you home and have a good drink of your Dehui's famous wine."
When Wang Guangyu's depressed mood improved a little, Yang Zhen nodded and said: "However, we cannot relax at all now. This victory is only the first step in our long march of thousands of miles. From now on, we will be truly tested. when."
Having said this, Yang Zhen said seriously to the people in front of him: "We are still not resting. Guangyu, your troops must immediately move into the various defensive positions originally set up by the Japanese army and defend the entire warehouse. In addition, , the minefield originally laid out by the Japanese army should not be touched for the time being. I will deal with it after I come up with a reliable plan."
After that, Yang Zhen said to Li Mingrui and Dong Ping: "Dong Ping, you immediately bring two detachments to meet the commander-in-chief and the main force. At the same time, telegraph the political commissar and chief of staff to do a good job in containing the troops and do not let them A man is left behind. Especially the new recruits."
After the two people separated and executed, Yang Zhen turned his head and took a pile of information collected from the office of the Japanese garrison commander, as well as the daily information of the Japanese garrison and Kwantung Army headquarters and the Japanese troops stationed in Jiamusi collected from the Japanese military secret room. Give him the contact code, call frequency and notification record.
Yang Zhen pointed to Li Mingrui who was confused after receiving these things and said: "These are the frequencies and passwords for the daily calls between the Japanese garrison here and Jiamusi and the Kwantung Army headquarters."
"The radio operator of your reconnaissance team is a high school student from the Puppet Manchu State in Weihe County. He knows how toSlang. You asked him to pretend to be a Japanese military radio operator and continue to communicate with Japanese troops everywhere every day. Ask him to pay attention to the way he sends and receives newspapers and prepare his words. "
"Because judging from the information, the Japanese military radio operator here has been here for more than three years. Presumably the other party's radio operator should be very familiar with his methods. Never let the secret of this base being occupied by us be revealed through the telegraph methods. In addition, you move your reconnaissance team forward and deploy it close to Jiamusi. Closely monitor every move of the Japanese troops in Jiamusi."
Listening to Yang Zhen's series of deployments, Li Mingrui said with some confusion: "Commander, what are you doing this for? When the main force comes, we will transport the materials in the warehouse and evacuate. When the little devil finds something is wrong here, We have moved away a long time ago. Why go to all this trouble?"
Regarding Li Mingrui's answer, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "We now need at least a month to conduct training. With more than 10,000 recruits, the proportion of recruits in the army at this time is a bit scary."
"How can you march and train with so much arms, supplies, and bulky machinery and equipment used to make weapons? So I want to borrow this Japanese territory for a period of time to train troops."
Hearing Yang Zhen¡¯s answer, Li Mingrui couldn¡¯t help but be stunned. He could hardly believe his ears. The commander actually wanted to use the Japs' territory to train troops. This idea was really unbelievable.
After thinking for a long time, Li Mingrui, who couldn't figure out how to answer Yang Zhen, couldn't help but stuttered: "Do you really want to use this place as a secret camp? Is this too, too? Are you talking to the commander-in-chief, political commissar, or Is there a chief of staff who can discuss it first?¡±
Regarding Li Mingrui's shock, Yang Zhen shook his head and said: "This place is less than a hundred kilometers away from Jiamusi, where heavy Japanese troops are stationed. It can be said that it is right under the nose of the Japanese army. There is an old Chinese saying, it is dark under the lamp."
"Furthermore, from the beginning of last year to the beginning of this year, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops to carry out a brutal sweep of the anti-resistance alliance that was originally active in Tangyuan. It has completed its plan of returning to villages and merging households. Our army of tens of thousands is hiding Here, hidden under the noses of the Japanese, the Japanese would never have thought that we would be so bold."
"In addition, it is backed by the Lesser Khingan Mountains, which is vast and sparsely populated and crisscrossed by primeval forests. It is not too far from the Sino-Soviet border. For us, we can go straight to Jiamusi and go north with the Soviet Union at our back to avoid being surrounded on all sides. . To the west, we can cross the Xiaoxing'an Mountains and join forces with the Third Anti-Japanese Army that marched westward to the Hailun area. We are in an extremely convenient position where we can advance, attack, retreat, and defend, and can be transferred at any time."
"As for the real reason why I really made up my mind to use the Japs to hide here, it is precisely because this is the Japs' top-secret strategic garrison warehouse. The Japs already have a certain grasp of our activities, including the laws of the Anti-Japanese Alliance activities. They know us well. Hit and go, never stay in one place for a long time."
"If we say that we have taken over this warehouse, they may believe it, but if we say that after we take over this warehouse, we will not leave, the devils may not believe it. So as long as we are careful, the devils will not find anything suspicious." At least we can deceive the Japanese for a month."
"The Japs are too confident. This is their strength, but it is also their biggest weakness. Why don't we take advantage of this weakness of the Japs and find ourselves a temporary place to recuperate?"
"Besides, even if the Japanese find out that we have occupied their warehouse and still refuse to leave, relying on the terrain here and the large amount of supplies captured, it will not be a problem for us to hold on for a month. I have nothing to worry about. The Japanese will defend Fortifications, even air-raid shelters, and arsenals have all been prepared for me. If I don¡¯t take advantage of them, how can they be worthy of all their hard work?¡±
Regarding Yang Zhen¡¯s bold idea, Li Mingrui shook his head and found it difficult to accept it. But Li Mingrui knew that he could not persuade Yang Zhen, so he could only nod his head and wait until the commander-in-chief and political commissar arrived.
After receiving a telegram from Yang Zhen that the battle was going smoothly and that the Japanese warehouse had been captured and a huge amount of supplies had been seized, the commander-in-chief discussed it with Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun and others, and decided to follow the requirements in Yang Zhen's telegram, one soldier at a time. Without staying, the whole army marched to the Japanese warehouse in Qunce Mountain.
After arriving at Qunce Mountain, with Dong Ping's support, and entering the warehouse, not to mention Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun and others, even the mature and prudent commander-in-chief was also overwhelmed by the amount of materials stored in this warehouse. shocked.
Looking at the dumbfounded expressions of several people, Yang Zhen smiled, let a few people go to the office of the Japanese garrison commander and said: "Commander-in-chief, political commissar, we have made a fortune this time."
"In this battle, we did not count the weapons seized from the Japanese garrison. We seized 20,000 Japanese Type 38 infantry rifles from the warehouse alone."??, 800 Taisho 11-year-old light machine guns, 300 Type 96 light machine guns newly produced by the Japanese army, and 600 Type 92 heavy machine guns. Various rifle machine gun bullets are enough for three integrated divisions of the Japanese army to fight for a year. "
"In addition, there are more than 70 Type 92 infantry guns, 56 75mm mountain field guns, 12 Taisho 4th-type 150mm heavy howitzers. 120 mortars of various calibers Ten. More than 100,000 rounds of artillery shells of various calibers and more than 200,000 mortar shells. However, there are not many heavy artillery shells, only more than 6,000 rounds."
"By the way, there are also 3,000 unopened Belgian-made speed machines with 2 million rounds of ammunition. Judging from the captured information, these speed machines were imported by the puppet Manchukuo government to equip the puppet Manchukuo army."
"However, as for why the Japanese army imported weapons for the puppet Manchukuo army, the reason is also very simple. This batch of weapons was originally part of the weapons urgently ordered by the Nationalist Government after the July 7th Incident of the year before last year, and was prepared to equip the Central Army. In order to prevent the Nationalist Government, the Japanese army To import weapons, we have reached a note with Germany and many European countries, especially the traditional weapons importing countries of the Nationalist Government. Except for the weapons that have been shipped before the middle of last year, the remaining weapons are not for sale."
"In addition to Germany, in order to undermine China's war of resistance and reduce the combat capability of the national army, the Nationalist government imported weapons contracts from other countries. The Japanese army would destroy them if they could. If the quantity was small, the Japanese government would allocate special funds for those they could use. Purchase. However, judging from the data, most of these funds are provided by puppet regimes such as Manchukuo."
"This batch of weapons was specially purchased by the Japanese army in order to terminate the contract between Belgium and the National Government. I just don't know why it was transferred to the Puppet Manchukuo and then stored here. It may also be that the Japanese army is still not satisfied with the Puppet Manchukuo army. I¡¯m so relieved. I don¡¯t plan to equip the puppet Manchukuo army with too sophisticated weapons.¡±
"There are also 10,000 Czech-made rifles and nearly one million rounds of 79 bullets that the Northeast Army imported from the Czech Republic before they were used, but were seized by the Japanese army before they were used. After they were built here, they were also stored here. "
"As for why they have not been used, like the batch of Liao 13 rifles they seized from the Shenyang Arsenal, to cooperate with the puppet Manchu army or to win over the traitor armed forces in the Pass and Mongolia, the reason is unknown. Light weapons, now The Japanese army rarely uses imported equipment. Why this batch of weapons and ammunition is stored here is unclear."
"In addition to arms, there are also a large amount of food, medicine, military uniforms, communication equipment, etc. This part of the supplies, according to our current military strength, is enough for us to use for two years. There are also 120 brand-new vehicles. As long as there are drivers, A Japanese-style military truck that can run with oil. In addition, there are some military equipment seized by the Japanese army from Taiyuan, and some semi-finished arms. Including bullets, smokeless propellants, grenade bodies, and mortar fuses."
After hearing Yang Zhen's report, the commander-in-chief was happy but also puzzled: "We can think of the reasons why the Japanese army stores equipment here, why do they still store military equipment and some semi-finished products that have been manufactured here? What if? If the Japanese army really marches north, or the Soviet Red Army comes over, what is the use of these semi-finished products?"
The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief, and his vision is indeed much longer-term. Why did the Japanese army reserve such a huge amount of arms, weapons and ammunition near Jiamusi? He had already guessed the true intention of the Japanese army just by listening to Yang Zhen's report.
Regarding the commander-in-chief's question, Yang Zhen smiled and said: "Commander-in-Chief, the reason is very simple. Nowadays, war is no longer an era of relying solely on rifles and cannons. It has entered an era of three-dimensional combat. The Soviet army is not a national army with poor equipment. Aircraft , artillery, including bombers with a range that can cover most of the Northeast railway network, and can easily destroy the Japanese supply lines."
"Although the equipment of the Japanese army far exceeds that of China, in the face of great powers such as the United States and the Soviet Union, except for the navy, the army is very backward in terms of equipment and supply methods. Its supplies, especially strategic supplies, are extremely dependent on railways."
"Once Japan and the Soviet Union went to war, the Soviet army bombed and destroyed the Northeast Railway Line. The Japanese frontline troops would be hungry all day long. So it is normal for the Japanese army to leave some military equipment here. At least in a short period of time, it can meet the needs of the frontline troops. basic ammunition, especially the heavily used small arms ammunition.¡±
