The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

Chapter 190 Selling Weapons

Since everyone's interest in investing is so high, Zhang Yunfei decided to satisfy everyone's interest. Not only will he build a second batch of civilian factories in the industrial park, he will also reclaim a large amount of wasteland to plant wheat, corn, potatoes, cotton, etc., which will greatly enrich the economy. According to the agricultural product market in the area, everyone can have enough food.

Now is the war, the price of grain is soaring, and a hundred catties of wheat cost several oceans. At present, my 20 troops need to purchase a large amount of grain every month, which will cost a lot of oceans. If we can purchase grain The money saved is not a small sum after that year.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei patiently explained the situation and significance of investing in agriculture to the three of them. Hearing this, the three of them were full of enthusiasm. Established agricultural company.

After eating a meal for more than an hour, the guest of honor had a good time. Under the compliments and eager eyes of the three people, Zhang Yunfei left the restaurant and returned to his headquarters. As soon as he entered the headquarters, Zhang Yunfei saw the chief of staff left Comrade Qingquan, holding a list, was looking at it carefully, and he was smiling all over his face. It seemed that he was in a very good mood. [

Zuo Qingquan, who was looking at the list, saw Zhang Yunfei coming in, stood up immediately, and said happily: "Commander-in-Chief, we have captured a lot of weapons from the brats. Look at the list just released. There are only rifles." More than 1 pieces, and a lot of weapons and equipment were found in the warehouse of the little devil in Jining."

Zhang Yunfei took the list and looked it over carefully. This time, the First Cavalry Brigade, which wiped out the little devil, seized more than 2000 Type 100 rifles, more than 36 crooked machine guns, and relatively few Type [-] heavy machine guns. , only [-], probably the cavalry brigade of the little devil, equipped with very few heavy machine guns.

There are 150 million rounds of various bullets. In addition, there are 24 Type [-] infantry guns and nearly a thousand rounds of shells. These infantry guns and shells were found in the warehouse of the little devil in Jining. The guns are still very new, and they may be the little devil It is seldom used at ordinary times, and the retreat is in a hurry, and there is no time to destroy and take it away.

At the end of the list, it also says that tens of thousands of cavalry sabers, more than 200 bastard box pistols, more than 5000 oriental horses, and more than 1 horses from the Little Devils Cavalry Brigade were seized. There are more than 5000 horses, and these horses can just be given to the cavalry division, and the cavalry division can also be expanded by several thousand people.

Although a lot of weapons were seized, Zhang Yunfei was still relatively calm. He had seized the weapons and equipment of tens of thousands of little devils before, but this time it can only be regarded as drizzle.But Zuo Qingquan, the chief of the general staff, couldn't calm down. When he was the deputy chief of the general staff of the Eighth Route Army, he never seized so many weapons and equipment at one time.

So Zuo Qingquan, the chief of the general staff who saw the list, was very happy in his heart and a little excited. After a long time, he calmed down his excitement a little, and said to Zhang Yunfei with a happy face: "Commander-in-Chief, there are so many weapons!" How do we deal with the equipment, should we ask the central government for instructions?"

Zhang Yunfei knew that if he did not ask the central government for instructions, he would not be able to hide it from the central government. Fortunately, most of the equipment he seized in the past was given to the central government or the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. In the middle, the impression is very good. This time, not only should the seized weapons and equipment be reported truthfully, but also to the central government, and half of the weapons should be left for the No.30 Sixth Army to handle by itself.

Therefore, Zhang Yunfei said: "We have seized so many weapons and equipment, we must report the truth to the central government, but at the same time, I also suggest that we only hand in half of the weapons and equipment, and we will handle the other half of the weapons and equipment by ourselves."

The Chief of Staff Zuo immediately said: "I think this method can be used. We will keep half of the weapons at our own disposal. The central government must have no objection. When I was in the No. 18 Army, all the weapons we seized were handled by ourselves. The New Fourth Army captured The weapons are also handled by themselves, as long as they are reported to the central government for record.”

Hearing what Chief of Staff Zuo said, Zhang Yunfei was determined, and immediately decided: "Then immediately send a report to the Central Committee, reporting the situation of our seizures, and at the same time hand over half of the weapons to the Central Committee, which can be regarded as our support for the brother troops."

"Okay, I will immediately order the correspondent to send a report. However, Commander-in-Chief, we will not use these little devil weapons for the time being. It is too wasteful to store them in the warehouse." The left chief of staff said regretfully.

Zhang Yunfei smiled mysteriously, "My chief of staff, how can these weapons be wasted? We are currently engaged in heavy construction in the base area, and funds are relatively tight. I plan to sell these weapons in exchange for the funds we need."

Hearing that Zhang Yunfei was going to sell weapons, Zuo Qingquan was taken aback and said in surprise, "Commander-in-Chief, this is not good!"

Zhang Yunfei was a little surprised to see Zuo Qingquan, so he explained: "The current anti-Japanese forces include not only our Eighth Route Army, New Fourth Army, our No.30 Sixth Army, but also the Central Army of the Kuomintang, Jinsui Army, etc. Everyone is our national defense force. , I plan to sell these weapons to Yan Laoxi, and in the hands of the Jinsui Army, they can also play their role. In the Taiyuan Battle at the end of last year, the Jinsui Army wiped out a lot of little devils on Zhengtai Road."

"However, the Jinsui Army is an army led by the Kuomintang. We are an army led by the Communist Party. We have different political views. I'm afraid that one day we will meet each other in battle." Zuo Qingquan said worriedly.

Zhang Yunfei said indifferently: "I have long looked down on political struggles. Now I just want to fight against the Japanese wholeheartedly. In my eyes, as long as they are dedicated to beating little devils, they are our friends. Anyone who is a traitor 』Those who betray the country and seek glory are all my enemies. As for whether we will fight each other in the future, we don’t know, but I will work hard not to let the Chinese kill each other and avoid civil war.”

After Zhang Yunfei finished speaking, there was determination in his eyes and a firm expression on his face.

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's words, Chief of Staff Zuo was thoughtful, pondered for a long time, and then said: "I hope so, the two parties don't want a civil war, and we, as Communists, don't want to see the Chinese kill each other."

Seeing Chief of Staff Zuo say this, Zhang Yunfei felt a little relieved, knowing that most people do not want civil war.However, it is still too early to talk about this topic. The top priority is to drive the little devil out of China as soon as possible. Zhang Yunfei is unwilling to discuss this topic in depth, so he said to Chief of Staff Zuo: "Comrade Qingquan, send a report to Yan'an as soon as possible." Bar!"[

"Okay, I'll order the correspondent to send the report right away." Chief of Staff Zuo quickly walked out of the office and walked to the confidential room.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The next morning at Datong Airport, the weather was clear, the sky was blue, and the visibility was very high. There were only a few white clouds floating in the sky.At three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yunfei in uniform appeared at Datong Airport with a few mighty special forces members. Sell ​​some arms, exchange some oceans.

Yesterday afternoon, Zhang Yunfei sent a telegram to Yan Xishan saying that he wanted to visit his elder brother. Yan Xishan who received the telegram expressed enthusiasm between the lines, welcoming Zhang Yunfei and saying that he would sweep the couch and wait.

As for the matter of selling weapons and equipment, Zhang Yunfei did not mention it in the telegram. Zhang Yunfei still felt that he could only clarify this matter in person, and it would not be too late to talk about it when he saw Yan Xishan himself.Zhang Yunfei is not worried that Yan Laoxi will not buy his own weapons. Now Yan Laoxi has no arsenal, and the bullets he consumes every month are all bought from himself. Yan Xishan will definitely buy these weapons.

Before Zhang Yunfei set off, he convened a short meeting with the senior management of No.30 Sixth Group. Everyone agreed and agreed to sell this batch of arms to Yan Xishan. Seeing that everyone agreed, Zhang Yunfei was relieved. In the morning, prepare to fly to Taiyuan.

Gao Zhihang greeted him at the gate of the airport. Seeing the majestic Zhang Yunfei walking towards this side surrounded by several special forces, Gao Zhihang hurried forward, held Zhang Yunfei's hands respectfully, and said enthusiastically: "Hi sir, welcome to Datong Airport. The transport plane you told us is ready and ready to take off at any time."

"Okay, then let's board the plane." Zhang Yunfei said happily.

Gao Zhihang immediately brought Zhang Yunfei and his party to the transport plane on the runway. When Zhang Yunfei saw the transport plane parked on the runway, he felt itchy for a while, so he said to Gao Zhihang next to him: "Zhihang, why are you acting as the co-pilot for me this time?" Sample?"

"Commander-in-Chief, you mean you want to fly the plane yourself. That's not acceptable. I can't afford it if something goes wrong." Gao Zhihang was a little surprised at first, and then hurriedly persuaded Zhang Yunfei.

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly, opened the hatch by himself, and sat in the driver's cab. Gao Zhihang had no choice but to also enter the driver's cab, acting as the co-pilot for Zhang Yunfei.When Gao Zhihang was about to tell Zhang Yunfei how to operate the plane, he realized that Zhang Yunfei had already operated it, and he seemed to be very proficient in his movements.

Gao Zhihang was a little surprised. Seeing that Zhang Yunfei was as proficient as himself, his eyes showed admiration, and he said with admiration: "Commander-in-Chief, I didn't expect you to be able to fly an airplane, and the operation is still so good. Zhihang really admires his proficiency."

Zhang Yunfei has piloted the little devil's plane several times before, and in his previous life, he was the most outstanding special soldier in China, and his flight training was no less than that of ordinary pilots. In later generations, he can fly that kind of complicated plane with ease, let alone this kind of structure Compared with the aircraft with very simple equipment, it is a piece of cake for Zhang Yunfei to fly.

Under Gao Zhihang's admiring eyes, Zhang Yunfei drove the transport plane, accelerated slowly, and after taxiing for a few hundred meters, left the runway and flew into the blue sky, heading towards Taiyuan.
