Chapter 1181: I don't believe in pie falling from the sky
In the end, Shi Dongliang negotiated with Boss Huang, and the price was reduced by one percent, and the other party only needed 600 guns. Boss Huang paid half of the deposit first, and within three days, he picked up the goods. After all, it is not so easy to recover the equipment of a battalion.
The equipment of this battalion was collected from the 118th Regiment, after all, the 118th Regiment was formed by Wang Qinghai himself, and even if it was discovered by the Japanese army, it would be difficult to say anything. At the beginning, in order to buy weapons for the 118th Regiment, Wang Qinghai thought of all the ways he could. To this day, he still owes a lot of debt.
Now, Gu Chang is about to face a feint attack by the New Fourth Army, but he still has to be prepared. A feint attack may turn into a main attack at any time, and no one knows what the New Fourth Army has in mind. Wang Qinghai has fought several times with the New Fourth Army, but so far, he has not yet figured out the tactics of the New Fourth Army.
Although Wang Qinghai sneered at the New Fourth Army at the military meeting. But he knew in his heart that the New Fourth Army was actually not easy to deal with. These poor ghosts are not afraid of death at all. As long as the order is given, even if the bullets fly in front of them and the bombs fall like raindrops, they still take the lead.
Such troops are too terrible, and Wang Qinghai does not want to be their enemy from the bottom of his heart. Fortunately, this time it was a feint attack on Guchang, if the New Fourth Army was the main attack on Guchang, Wang Qinghai would definitely abandon it. Where there is life, there is hope.
Just when everyone's eyes were focused on Guyang County and Guchang County, waiting for the New Fourth Army to attack. News came from the front that on September 7, 1941, the 6th Division of the Japanese Army launched a sweep to the guerrilla base area of the defenders of Yunshan in northern Hunan Province to cover the assembly of its 3rd, 4th, and 40th divisions on the right bank of the Xinqiang River. The 4th Army of the Chinese Army retreated after resisting.
When the news came back, everyone's eyes were attracted by the Battle of Changsha. In this battle, the purpose of the Japanese army was to defeat the Ninth Theater. With the ultimate goal of eliminating the living forces of the Ninth Theater, of course, if Changsha can be occupied and the Guangdong-Hanzhou Railway can be opened, it will be the best.
And all the anti-Japanese personnel, including both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, hoped that the Japanese army would stop at Changsha. The tension in Huang Anzhi suddenly subsided.
And Wang Qinghai of the Sixth Division was also so frightened that his whole body tensed. Isn't the New Fourth Army behind enemy lines preparing to feint against Guchang in order to cooperate with the frontal battlefield? As soon as the battle went on in front, the Sixth Division immediately entered a state of emergency.
Originally, Wang Qinghai was going to directly transfer a battalion of weapons, but after learning of this, he decided to transfer a company of rifles from each of the three battalions of the 118th Regiment. No matter which battalion has a problem, it will not affect the overall situation.
Boss Huang is also a very trustworthy person, and after receiving the gun from the Sixth Division, he immediately paid the balance. He was also worried about the long nights and dreams, so he immediately proposed to ask the Sixth Division to transport the guns out of Guchang. In this regard, Shi Dongliang was not ambiguous, and immediately asked the Quartermaster Department to send a few trucks to load all the guns and bullets.
In order to thank Boss Huang for his generosity, Shi Dongliang also sent 100 rounds of ammunition for each gun. Watching the equipment of the two battalions be transported away, Shi Dongliang sighed. He felt that everything in this business was good, but there was one point, and he couldn't stand Zhu Muyun.
After Boss Huang contacted him, Zhu Muyun also called, saying that he had persuaded the merchants of Gu Xing to be willing to reduce the price to eighty percent. And Zhu Muyun promised not to pay a penny of commission. In other words, the price given by Shi Dongliang is still the same as before.
However, Shi Dongliang no longer had a gun in his hand. He was not satisfied with the thousand guns that Boss Huang wanted, how could there be guns for Zhu Muyun. At that time, he explained to Zhu Muyun that the Sixth Division could no longer engage in arms business in the near future. If anyone asks for opium, he can supply it at a low price. But neither guns nor ammunition can be helped.
Zhu Muyun can also understand his difficulties, but Zhu Muyun reminded him that such transactions should not be settled directly in cash. If it is a gold bar or silver dollar, everyone knows how to distinguish the authenticity, and the guy in a warehouse, when he first entered the industry, what he had to learn was how to judge the authenticity of the silver dollar.
However, paper money is different, it is printed, everyone is not familiar with it, maybe it is a counterfeit. In this regard, Shi Dongliang didn't care, the Central Reserve Bond had just happened, this kind of banknote, ordinary people have never seen it, how could there be a forgery.
Shi Dongliang thought that he had earned a few more percent this time. This is all good for the Sixth Division and for him personally. Of course, Zhu Muyun's reminder still made him have more eyes, before the transaction, he asked people to take Boss Huang's middle savings bills and go to Guchang's bank, bank, and pawnshop to ask, and no one denied that it was counterfeit banknotes.
This made Shi Dongliang finally relieved, these people who specialize in dealing with money have not seen the fame, and there will definitely be no fake. But he forgot, how long has the China Reserve Bond been issued? How many counterfeit banknotes have these people in Guchang seen? I'm afraid that in their minds, there is no such thing as counterfeit money at all.
"Mu Yun, I'm going back to Guxing in the afternoon, and I'll invite you to dinner in the evening." After Shi Dongliang waited for Boss Huang to leave, he called Zhu Muyun.
"You're so busy, and you have to trade guns, how come you have time to come to Gu Xing?" Zhu Muyun said.
The operation of attacking Guchang, he discussed with the organization. In view of what happened in Huang An, the strength of the New Fourth Army was not assembled as completed. Originally, the plan of fake feint attack and real attack on Guchang could not be implemented. It may take another two or three months for the troops to be readjusted in place.
However, Zhu Muyun suggested that even if the operation was canceled, the feint attack on Gu Chang would still be carried out. Even if it's just posturing, make a little noise. At the very least, to show the enemy that Chi Lingbo's intelligence is accurate. This is also to pave the way for the next delivery of intelligence, even if it is worth paying a certain price.
"All the guns were taken, I just left, I came to Guxing to save money in the afternoon." Shi Dongliang said with a smile that this batch of guns was sold for more than 600,000 yuan in total, and more than 100,000 military salaries were paid, and the rest of the money was ready to be deposited in the bank. After all, the 6th Division now lacks a battalion of equipment and must be quickly replenished.
"Congratulations, that's okay, I'll arrange it in the evening, let's settle on the Guxing Hotel." Zhu Muyun said that he is very familiar with the restaurants in the city, and he has basically eaten all the restaurants with a little special characteristics.
Just put down the phone, Zhu Muyun immediately called Yuan Wangcai. After the phone rang five times, Zhu Muyun hung up. This is the code he agreed with Yuan Wangcai, which tells him that the prey has set off.
As early as when Deng Xiangtao was preparing this plan, Zhu Muyun was already thinking about it. The task of the military commander is to spend the central reserve bonds. The reduction in weapons in the Sixth Division is a good thing for both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. However, if these guns fell into the hands of the military commander, Zhu Muyun would be very uncomfortable.
Although the military commanders were active in the war of resistance, at the same time, they were also on guard against the Communist Party. Deng Xiangtao's remarks made Zhu Muyun very worried. If the Kuomintang is full of people like Deng Xiangtao, I am afraid that before the Japanese can drive away, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party will have to fight.
No matter how many guns there were, Zhu Muyun didn't want to fall into the hands of the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army. He had reported to Bian Mingze before, asking the organization to send someone to rob the guns. But Bian Mingze is worried that this will have an impact on the already unreliable Kuomintang and Communist Party united and unified anti-Japanese war. Let the Kuomintang catch the evidence of deliberately creating friction.
Since the organization didn't want to tell the truth, Zhu Muyun had no choice but to tell Yuan Wangcai the news. Hundreds of guns, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Moreover, there will definitely not be many escorts. In order to defend the Sixth Division, the military commander could only let them send out Guchang at most. And this batch of guns cannot be transported back to Guxing, nor can it be transported to Yueyang and Changsha, and it is most likely to be transported to Guanshaling first.
Therefore, between Guchang County and Guanshaling, choose a place that must pass and wait for the fish to be baited. Even if he doesn't inform Yuan Wangcai, the guards of Jiutou Mountain can still find the target.
It's just that after waking up, Jiutou Mountain has more goals. Every time Yuan Wangcai's phone rings, he has to wait a long time to answer, if it is Zhu Muyun's phone, it usually rings three times, or five times and hangs up.
He counted the phone just now, and it did ring five times. Yuan Wangcai knew that Gu Chang had already set off. Soon, an electric wave was emitted from the ancient star......
Zhu Muyun was at the dock, waiting for news from Shi Dongliang. However, what he was waiting for was not a call from Shi Dongliang to make an appointment, but the news of Shi Dongliang's accident.
"Mu Yun, it's not good." Shi Dongliang said angrily that he had just taken the money to the bank, and Zhongjiang Industrial Bank attached great importance to the nearly 500,000 yuan. However, they are also very strange, the Central Reserve Coupon has just been implemented, and every money has a whereabout, and the Sixth Division does not have so many Central Reserve Bonds.
Xiangli, who was in charge of the business, kept an eye on it, and he checked Shi Dongliang's money carefully, and found that the money of the Sixth Division might be counterfeit. Zhongjiang Industrial Bank also couldn't believe this conclusion, and immediately invited experts from the Guxing branch of the China Reserve Bank. In the final analysis, the China Reserve Bank issued the bonds, and if they can't tell the difference, they can only be treated as genuine money.
In the end, the people of the China Reserve Bank judged from the paper and ink that the China Reserve Bills brought by Shi Dongliang were counterfeit banknotes. This conclusion scared Shi Dongliang half to death. That's more than 600 guns, he called Gu Chang as soon as possible and asked them to intercept the guns. However, when he called, he learned that the person who was transporting the guns had returned.
Shi Dongliang was helpless, only then did he remember Zhu Muyun's previous reminder, and he quickly called Zhu Muyun and wanted to ask him to give him an idea.
"Brother Shi, don't worry. Can you chase Boss Huang back? Zhu Muyun asked.
"No, the escort soldiers have returned. That Boss Huang must be from Chongqing. Shi Dongliang suddenly shouted that the Communist Party could not do this kind of thing. Only the military commanders in Chongqing could print such fake banknotes.
"So, I still can't believe the pie in the sky." Zhu Muyun said with a sigh.
The goal of the military command has been achieved, and now he is only waiting for news from Yuan Wangcai's side.
