The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

At present, a large number of troops of the national army are fighting in the south, and have regained a lot of lost ground. There are [-] to [-] counties in the recovered counties alone. This does not include those towns, and tens of thousands of little devils have been wiped out, but , The national army fought with the little devils and consumed a lot of weapons and ammunition, which needed to be replenished in time.

Although the Kuomintang has aid from the United States, the aid is far from enough. In addition, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, many of the aid promised by the United States have not been in place. The United States is also at war with Japan at this time, and the pressure is not small.

Now, the frontline troops of the Kuomintang need a large amount of weapons and ammunition. If weapons and ammunition are not replenished, many troops will not be able to face the little devils head-on, and guerrilla warfare will be needed.

As for the Eighth Route Army, due to the stable supply of weapons and ammunition from the Huangyadong Arsenal, the situation is much better than that of the National Army. Although the Eighth Route Army troops going south to fight are only three divisions, with about 30 people, the results achieved are basically comparable to those of the National Army. The army was equal, and a large number of counties were recovered, and tens of thousands of little devils were wiped out.

Now, the national army is in urgent need of weapons and ammunition. [

Some time ago, Zhang Yunfei's No.30 Sixth Army wiped out hundreds of thousands of enemies in the Northeast, and seized a large amount of weapons and equipment. Except for a small part used to equip the local garrison brigades, most of these equipments were sealed up. .

The No.30 Sixth Army can't use the kid's equipment.

However, if these equipments are given to the national army troops, then the national army troops will rob their heads. Many national army officers who are fighting on the front line want to get a large amount of weapons and ammunition.

Following Chen Cheng to Datong, he was talking with Zhang Yunfei.Chen Cheng revealed intentionally or unintentionally that he wanted to buy some more weapons and ammunition from the No. 30 Sixth Army.

Zhang Yunfei also revealed that he wanted to sell weapons and ammunition, so one wanted to buy and the other wanted to sell, and a preliminary agreement was reached immediately. Since the number of weapons and equipment involved was too large, Chen Cheng could not make the decision, so he specifically asked the boss for instructions. Chiang.

When Lao Jiang received the telegram from Chen Cheng, he immediately gritted his teeth.Decided to spend another part of the money to buy weapons and ammunition from Zhang Yunfei.

No.30 The Sixth Army achieved such a great victory in the Northeast. The pressure on Lao Jiang is also great. Lao Jiang is eager to recover the entire Jiangnan. It was completely overwhelmed by the No.30 Sixth Army.

As the current national leader, Lao Jiang does not want the No.30 Sixth Army to surpass his own national army, so.This time, even if the treasury is emptied.Lao Jiang will also buy a large amount of weapons and ammunition, and then fight a few head-on battles with the little devils to recover the entire vast area south of the Yangtze River.

Lao Jiang has clearly telegraphed Chen Cheng that he will buy as much equipment as the No. 30 Sixth Army has, and will not refuse anyone who comes.

Because of this, Zhang Yunfei and Chen Cheng are sitting together again.Prepare to discuss this arms deal in detail.

The reception room of No.30 Sixth Army Headquarters.

For the No.30 Sixth Army, Zhang Yunfei, Zuo Qingquan, and Fang Zheng were sitting. For the Kuomintang, besides Chen Cheng, there were several Kuomintang officers, two major generals, and a colonel.

The two sides have exchanged pleasantries.Having said some kind words, now, gradually shifted to the main topic.

"Commander Zhang!" Chen Cheng took a sip of hot tea and said modestly: "Your army is in the Northeast. After several battles, we have wiped out hundreds of thousands of the Kwantung Army of the little devils. We are really ashamed. They fought quite a bit, but compared to your army, they can only be regarded as small fights."

"Where, where, Chief Chen is too modest." Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, "If you hadn't been short of weapons and ammunition, you would definitely not be what you are now. Maybe, the entire south of the Yangtze River will soon be recovered."

"Yes!" Chen Cheng sighed, "Our soldiers fighting on the front line are not having a good time. With the loss of several major domestic arsenals, we have lost the ability to mass-produce weapons and equipment. This time, I hope Mr. Zhang Commander, hold your hand high and sell us more weapons and equipment."

To be honest, although the two parties have reached a preliminary intention, the total quantity and price of weapons and ammunition have not yet been discussed in detail. Chen Cheng is afraid that Zhang Yunfei will ask for prices.

Now, the whole world is at war, and weapons and equipment are in short supply. If you have money, you may not be able to buy weapons and equipment. If Zhang Yunfei asks for prices, Chen Cheng has no choice.

However, Chen Cheng obviously underestimated Zhang Yunfei, Zhang Yunfei did not intend to ask for prices, Zhang Yunfei felt a little sympathetic to the national army, "Mr. Chen, I also know that you lack weapons and ammunition. I admire you very much. In the absence of weapons and "ammunition", I fought one battle after another with the little devil." [

"In order to drive the little devil out of China as soon as possible, I have already decided to sell all the weapons and equipment we seized in the Northeast to you at the market price. In addition, our No.30 Sixth Army will give you 500 million for free Firing Mauser rounds."

Hearing this, Chen Cheng stood up excitedly, and hurriedly said: "Commander Zhang, thank you so much for that."

Chen Cheng never expected that not only did Zhang Yunfei not increase the price, but he also gave himself so many rifle bullets for free, so much favor.

Now, apart from some of the troops of the national army using Japanese-style equipment, most of the troops use Hanyang-made Hezhong official rifles and Czech-style light machine guns. The bullets used in these equipment are all "Mauser" Rifle cartridges.

Because, in this way, Zhang Yunfei's 500 million rounds of ammunition are simply a helping hand, not icing on the cake.

Zhang Yunfei smiled lightly, "Mr. Chen, you are too polite. This is also our contribution to China's war of resistance, and it is also our help to you within our ability. Everyone is an anti-Japanese force. If we can help, we must help. .”

Seeing what Zhang Yunfei said, Chen Cheng expressed his gratitude again and again.

"Old Fang, have we counted the number of weapons and equipment seized in the Northeast this time?"

Seeing Zhang Yunfei ask, Fangzheng straightened his expression, and immediately said: "Commander-in-Chief, the weapons and equipment we seized in the Northeast this time, in addition to those already equipped with the Northeast Garrison Brigade, there are also 28 Type 8000 rifles. , more than 3000 crooked machine guns, more than 3000 Type 6 heavy machine guns, more than [-] million bullets of various types, and more than [-] boxes of grenades."

"In addition, we also seized a lot of heavy equipment, including more than 200 various mortars, more than 70 Type 75 infantry guns, more than 40 [-]mm mountain guns, and nearly [-] rounds of various shells."

So much gear! ! !

Although Chen Cheng was mentally prepared, he never expected that the No. 30 Sixth Army had seized so many weapons and equipment, and Chen Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard it.

Next to Chen Cheng, the officers of the national army also blushed and thought excitedly, it would be great if they bought all these equipments this time.

These officers of the national army knew that many troops on the front line lacked weapons and ammunition. The central army was better, and some miscellaneous troops were in a worse situation.

Every time I fought against the little devil, I didn't fire a few bullets before I started to charge and start hand-to-hand combat with the little devil. Every time I fought, I often killed [-] enemies and lost [-].

Zhang Yunfei was also a little moved when he saw Chen Cheng and these national army officers react so strongly.

While excited, Chen Cheng smiled awkwardly. He lost his composure just now, and Chen Cheng immediately said, "Commander Zhang, I didn't expect to have so much equipment. I'm so happy."

Zhang Yunfei laughed, "It's indeed a bit much. This is the equipment of the Kwantung Army of hundreds of thousands of little devils."

A major general of the national army next to him immediately asked excitedly: "Commander Zhang, there are so many cannons here, and these heavy weapons, will you also sell them to us?"

"of course!"

After hearing Zhang Yunfei's affirmative answer, the major general of the national army became even more excited. You must know that heavy weapons like cannons are generally difficult to buy. Even if you have money, you may not be able to buy them if you pay a high price. .

The major general of the national army thought that it was all right now, buying so many cannons at one time was enough to equip several artillery regiments, and the soldiers would have enough artillery support to fight the little devils on the front line. [

This huge arms transaction was quickly concluded in a happy atmosphere on both sides. According to the market price, all weapons and ammunition were sold to the national army at one time, and the delivery place was set at Zhengzhou in Henan.

At present, Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and Luoyang are all cities controlled by the national army, and the railway from Zhengzhou to Beiping has been unimpeded. These weapons and ammunition can be transported directly from the northeast to Zhengzhou by railway.

This time, according to Zhang Yunfei's request, all transactions were made of gold and silver. This huge amount of gold and silver almost emptied Lao Jiang's treasury, and a large amount of gold and silver was transported to Datong batch by batch by plane.

After selling so much equipment, Comrades Zuo Qingquan and Fangzheng who are sitting here are also happy. Anyway, these equipments are not needed by everyone, and they are rusted in the warehouse. It is more practical to replace them with gold and silver.

The next day, Chen Cheng and his party were about to fly back to Chongqing. Zhang Yunfei personally sent Chen Cheng to the airport, giving Chen Cheng enough face, which made Chen Cheng extremely happy.

In the next few days, Zhang Yunfei was going to take time to accompany Lin Yuxin and Jiang Xiaoying. During this period of time, he had been busy with military affairs, and the front line was fighting, so he had very little time to accompany them.

Now, with the war in Northeast China coming to an end and the main force of the Kwantung Army being wiped out, Zhang Yunfei is much more relaxed and has time to spend with the two of them.
