Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Chapter 12 A generous gift!
Guilin is located in the northeast of Liuzhou. The Guilin Headquarters is the location of the Fourth War Zone. After the Battle of Southern Guangxi is over, it will be moved from Guilin to Liuzhou.

Later, after Nanning was recovered, they moved again.

The person Lu Yuhua was looking for this time was Zhao Qidong, the head of the Guangxi Provincial Security Corps.

The reason for looking for him was that his 714th Garrison Regiment was under the jurisdiction of the other party.

As long as we smooth out his connections, there will be no problem.

Of course, if you want to smooth over relationships, you can't just rely on words, you also need some hard stuff.

This time he took out ten Mauser pistols and five thousand pistol bullets.

Ten Mauser K98 rifles and one thousand rifle bullets.

Two MP38 submachine guns and five hundred rounds of ammunition.

This gift is quite substantial.

He believed that anyone would be confused when seeing such a heavy gift.

Of course, in addition to smoothing relations, the other thing is to open up channels for arms trade.

The Battle of Southern Guangxi can be said to have ended in a tragic victory.

All the troops suffered heavy losses.

Next, many military commanders were dismissed and investigated, and some troops even had their numbers directly cancelled.

After the war, it is time to rest, replenish troops and restore combat effectiveness.

But the replenishment of weapons and equipment is very particular.

Now the mountain city has become very poor because of the loss of the tax collection area from the south of the Yangtze River.

It is impossible to treat everyone equally.

Therefore, there is naturally some bias in terms of supplies.

There is certainly no shortage of regular troops, but those ragtag troops may not be so lucky.

It is certain that it will not be replenished in a short time.

Lu Yuhua's target was these ragtag troops.

Don’t think that the ragtag army is poor, it’s only the soldiers who are poor.

Military commanders were still quite wealthy.

As for how to make a name for himself, that depends on Zhao Qidong.

"You want to see me?" In the camp of the Security Corps in the south of Guilin City, Zhao Qidong was counting the casualties of his subordinates in this battle.

If he didn't count clearly, he wouldn't know. Once he counted, he would be shocked to find that more than half of his security corps had been lost.

His troops' initial mission was to go to Gaofengao in Wuming to fight the Japanese army.

Because it was a third-rate unit, the guns they used were Hanyang-made.

Naturally, they were at a disadvantage when facing the Japanese army's Type 38 rifle.

Fortunately, not long after the main force arrived, they began to retreat.

But halfway through the journey, they received an order to reinforce Kunlun Pass.

They fought with the Japanese army for many days at Kunlun Pass.

The two sides fought repeatedly for a position, resulting in heavy casualties.

Often a platoon would rush forward and be wiped out in an instant.

Many people died on the mountain and in the mountains, but fortunately, many Japanese soldiers also died.

But facing the Japanese artillery, they had no choice but to retreat.

After some twists and turns, it was pushed to Binyang.

Since it is a third-line troop, it will go wherever the fighting is tense.

Afterwards, we passed Qianjiang, Liujiang, and Yongfu and arrived in Guilin.

He had just rested here and finally had time to count the casualties of his troops.

You don't know until you see it. It's really shocking.

The problem of losing soldiers is not difficult to solve. As long as they are willing to pay real money, there are still people willing to join the army for a bite to eat.

But the lost weapons and equipment made him extremely distressed.

Especially those machine guns, which are the signature weapons of the Security Corps, and they were just lost like that.

So now that Lu Yuhua found him, he naturally didn't look happy.

"This bastard, if I remember correctly, I gave an order to his garrison regiment at that time, asking him to come to Wuming for reinforcement as soon as possible? But now that the battle is over, he only comes to see me?" Zhao Qidong wanted to kill this bastard immediately.

The entire Guangxi Province's security and garrison regiments were under his charge.

So after receiving the order, he immediately led the main force of the Security Corps to the front line.

Of course, in order to boost morale, an order to assemble was naturally issued to the local security forces.

Security regiments from other places all arrived on time, but the 714th garrison regiment waited no matter how long it took to arrive.

Later I heard that they mutinied and fled in all directions, and the regiment commander even fell off his horse and fell into a coma.

His first reaction was that this guy was afraid of fighting.

Now that I saw the other party taking the initiative to find me, after the initial anger, I calmed down and decided to meet the other party first.

"Sir, the commander of the 714th Garrison Regiment, Lu Yuhua, is here to report." Upon seeing Zhao Qidong holding the rank of major general, Lu Yuhua hurriedly saluted.

"Lu Yuhua, you are really promising. The Japanese army is at least 50 kilometers away from you, right? But your garrison regiment mutinied?" As soon as they met, Zhao Qidong started scolding him.

"Someone, take him away and execute him." The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Zhao Qidong wished he could execute this guy right away.

He could understand that the Japanese army would collapse at the first touch, after all, the fighting power of the Japanese army was quite strong.

This kind of person will run away if he is fifty kilometers away.

Ridiculously true.

But Lu Yuhua was shocked when he heard this. Was he going to kill him without even giving him a chance to speak?

Thinking of this, Lu Yuhua shouted hurriedly.

"Sir, sir, it's unfair, it's unfair, please listen to me first, please listen to me first."

He is really panicking. Are you going to kill him so rashly?

"Okay, I'll let you die with your eyes closed. If you have anything to say, just say it quickly." Zhao Qidong waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to retreat first.

"Sir, I didn't want to do that either. My 714th Garrison Regiment is full of rotten soldiers. You can let them bully the bandits, and they are fine. But they would have been scared to death facing the Japanese. As for the fact that I really fell off the horse, if you don't believe me, you can look at the bump on the back of my head." Lu Yuhua explained hurriedly.

"I also know that I failed to lead the troops this time, so I accept the punishment. Before coming here, I had already disbanded those bad soldiers, spent all my family's wealth to recruit new soldiers, and will go south in half a month to fight the Japanese army to the death."

"Are you determined?" Zhao Qidong looked at Lu Yuhua in surprise.

He had some idea of ​​how bad the 714th Garrison Regiment was.

But this time it was so outrageous that it was beyond his expectations.

That's why I'm so angry.

But Lu Yuhua's determination really surprised him.

"Yes, sir. Yuhua has made up his mind. Before coming here, he has sold his property, bought weapons, recruited volunteers, and decided to go south to fight the Japanese army." Lu Yuhua said loudly.

"To show my determination, I also brought some gifts to the commander."

As he spoke, he handed over a list.

With doubts, Zhao Qidong took the list, took a quick glance at it, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"You really sold your property?"

He was skeptical at first, but now, seeing the weapons and equipment on the list, he instantly believed that this guy was serious.

"Really." Lu Yuhua said frankly.

"Sir, would you like to take a look at these German equipment? They are all brand new and good stuff." Seeing Zhao Qidong's eyes glowing red, Lu Yuhua knew that his bet was right, and hurriedly said, strike while the iron is hot.

"Okay, send the equipment here. I'm very curious about that MP38 submachine gun." Zhao Qidong thought about it and decided to see if these weapons are real first.

"Yes, sir."
