Chapter Eighty-Five: Making "Black" Wealth
6.85 Black Fortune
The "tragedy" caused by the 1st squad leader at the entrance of the village plunged the Japanese army into a short period of confusion, and the platoon commander Shi took the opportunity to run out of the Shi family with his remaining soldiers, and on the hillside, the squad leader pointed in the direction of the village entrance and said loudly to the last soldier of the 1st squad:
"That's where your squad leader was martyred, and this blood debt must be doubled back from the little devil! Be sure to remember!! ”
The 17-year-old soldier nodded vigorously. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
A man leaves this world, and a child becomes a man! Platoon Leader Shi knows that the incense of Class 1 will be passed on, and it won't be long before the child in front of him will become an excellent squad leader, I don't know if Class Leader 1 will be satisfied under Jiuquan?
The sky gradually darkened, and a heavy downpour finally fell, which caused a lot of trouble for both the Chinese and Japanese troops in the mountains of Niushou Mountain.
Captain Kanda Masase got his wish and took Shi Jiawa before the rain, but the price paid by his 15th Wing was a bit outrageous, with dozens of casualties and the loss of two officers, Ishikawa Shaosa and Captain Kayama, the 139th Division on Zutang Mountain was really not easy to mess with.
The 99th Division, as the most hated unit of the Japanese army, has long been the focus of investigation by the Japanese intelligence agencies, and the uniforms worn by the officers and soldiers of the 139th Division who died in the village are the same as those of the 99th Division, and they still have the number of the unit to which they belong on their chests. Captain Kanda Masashong learned from the intelligence that the 139th Division and the 99th Division were both subordinate to Huang Haoran's 99th Army, and these two Chinese divisions were brother units, but he didn't expect that the combat effectiveness of the 139th Division was as strong as the 99th Division!
The Chinese ace on the Songhu battlefield has changed from a division to an army! What will it become in the future?
The 15th Wing reported what they found to the commander of the 6th Division, Tani Toshio, and asked the 15th Wing to attack the 139th Division on the top of the mountain, and the captain of the Kanda Masa Wing did not think that he had the possibility of victory, and if he wanted to take the Niushou Mountain area, the 6th Division must increase its troops!
Although the 15th Wing occupied Shijiawa, the captain of the Kanda Masa Wing did not dare to let his subordinates stay in the village to avoid the rain. Because the village is too close to Zutang Mountain, mortar shells will fly down from the mountain at any time, the Nanjing garrison has only lost large-caliber artillery, and their mortar shells are still very sufficient, and the captain of the Kanda Masang Wing also knows that the 99th Army has a group of excellent mortar fighters, and he will not let his brigade become the target of the 139th Division.
The captain of the Kanda Masa Wing left only one squad in Shijiawa, and the rest of the troops retreated to a safe distance and camped, all the tarpaulins brought by the 15th Wing were used to wrap their precious ammunition, and senior Japanese officers like the Captain of the Kanda Masa Wing could still have a tent to shelter from the wind and rain, and ordinary Japanese soldiers could only hide under the trees or rocks in raincoats, and it seemed that the rain would continue to fall for a long time, and the 15th Wing finally ushered in a rare rest time after continuous combat.
If it weren't for the rain, the Japanese soldiers would have thought they had gone to heaven......
Huang Haoran in Nanjing City is very grateful for this timely rain, the Japanese in Gaoloumen, Tangjiaying front-line onslaught has made the 83rd Army and the 66th Army a little unbearable, this heavy rain delayed the Japanese offensive, Huang Haoran's troops got valuable rest time, Huang Haoran asked Wang Huanzhi to use this time to replenish the troops on the front line, Huang Haoran, who was tight on mobile forces, could only give the Nanjing Garrison troops a continuous message, which was also a way to convey confidence.
The officers and soldiers on the front line are not afraid to fight hard with the little devils, but they are afraid that their commanders will not remember them, Huang Haoran is now telling these officers and soldiers with his actions that he has not forgotten them, and they are not fighting a meaningless war!
Although the roads became muddy and difficult to navigate, the work efficiency of the convoys was much higher than usual, and the boundless rain curtain was the best cover for the officers and men of these convoys.
The war on the front line is getting tighter and tighter, and the inventory in Wang Huanzhi's hands has begun to become less and less, and the in-demand goods such as artillery shells, mines, and gun grenades have been directly checked off by Wang Huanzhi, and the artillery of the Nanjing Garrison has completely cut off the supply of artillery shells.
Under the instruction of Huang Haoran, the 10th Artillery Regiment was loaded from the Xiaguan Wharf to Wuhan last night, and the 150-mm German-made howitzer is now the largest caliber artillery in China, Huang Haoran did not want to let these precious heavy artillery pieces be lost in Nanjing, and he did not want to use the artillery of the 10th Artillery Regiment as an infantry man, a modern artillery regiment is not easy to cultivate, and it cannot be wasted casually, so it should be regarded as leaving some incense for the Chinese artillery.
After the 10th Artillery Regiment, the artillery regiment directly under the 99th Army and several artillery battalions directly under the Nanjing Garrison Headquarters were withdrawn, and the destination of these troops was different from that of the 10th Artillery Regiment, their end point was Jiujiang, Huang Haoran was not a saint, and the 99th Army would definitely suffer heavy casualties in Nanjing. The artillery regiments formed into regiments are directly under the command of the highest authority, Huang Haoran has no chance to start, but he can gather scattered artillery and use it in a centralized manner, the artillery regiment of the 99th Army should be able to recover quickly after swallowing these artillery battalions, and the artillery superiority of the little devils on the battlefield in East China has made Huang Haoran suffer enough, and he has long been holding back his strength to establish a "big artillery".
These artillery evacuated to Jiujiang are the seeds that Huang Haoran retained, with these artillery and artillery as the capital, as long as he is given time, not to mention the artillery regiment, even the artillery brigade artillery division Huang Haoran can also build it!
***************************************************************************************
Finally, Wang Huanzhi, who didn't have to be chased by the artillery behind his ass to ask for shells, did not get the leisure he imagined, the battle in Nanjing has been fought until now, all the materials have begun to become lacking, Wang Huanzhi has been tormented by the non-stop ringing of the phone to be a little nervous, sometimes he really wants to pick on it, but when he thinks that the person sitting in the position of deputy commander of the city defense is his eldest brother Huang Haoran, Wang Huanzhi has to grit his teeth and insist.
"Ring......" The damn phone rang again, Wang Huanzhi had just blocked the mouth of Feng Shengfa, the commander of the 58th Division, with three truckloads of ammunition, and the other phone on the table began to make noise again, and the somewhat tired Wang Huanzhi motioned to his adjutant to answer the phone, and after he hung up Feng Shengfa's phone, he wanted to go to the window to smoke a cigarette.
"Yes! Commander! Be! Got it! Before Wang Huanzhi's legs could take a few steps, he heard his adjutant "snap" and then said a series of yes and understood, and now there is only one person in the entire Nanjing City who can make Wang Huanzhi's adjutant so excited, and that is his eldest brother Huang Haoran.
Without waiting for the adjutant to convey Huang Haoran's meaning, Wang Huanzhi consciously walked back, and the cigarette he had not had time to light was thrown on the table by him, Wang Huanzhi reached out and took the telephone receiver from the adjutant's hand.
Wang Huanzhi talked with Huang Haoran on the phone for a while before he knew that his eldest brother was now in new trouble, half an hour ago, a group of "celebrities" who stayed in Nanjing City went to the outside of Huang Haoran's city defense headquarters under the leadership of Tang Shengzhi, Huang Haoran was commanding troops to fight against the Japanese army, Tang Shengzhi was not idle, he, the titular commander-in-chief of Nanjing City Defense, was still very comfortable in the social scene, and Old Tang went around all day to publicize and give speeches, meet with citizens, and have a bit of a taste of self-entertainment.
Surrounded by a large number of Chinese and foreign reporters, Tang Shengzhi came to the Nanjing International Security Zone to meet with the citizens of Nanjing, and as a result, Commander Tang was regarded as a figure who could call the shots by several "celebrities" who suddenly appeared, and these "representatives" actually proposed to let Tang Shengzhi transfer a group of food to the refugees in the safety zone, and Tang Shengzhi could not refuse in front of a large number of reporters and could only agree hesitantly. Foreign reporters with good deeds clamored to take Tang Shengzhi to take them to see the grain transportation situation, and Tang Shengzhi, who knew that what he said could not be counted, actually brought these people to Huang Haoran for the sake of his face, but fortunately, Fan Jie's quick reaction allowed the guards to block the reporters and citizen representatives from the cordon, who can guarantee that there are no Japanese spies among these foreign reporters? Now that the location of the headquarters is exposed, what if the devils launch an air strike? This old Tang is too child's play, right?
Tang Shengzhi's face Huang Haoran still had to give, he patiently listened to Tang Shengzhi's request, and his heart was suddenly blocked. This Commander Tang is really capable of making trouble, the Japanese offensive has become more and more urgent, and he still pulls people to Huang Haoran to ask for supplies, if it weren't for the face of hundreds of thousands of compatriots in the security zone, Huang Haoran really wants to get Tang Shengzhi out!
In fact, Tang Shengzhi just saw that Huang Haoran would not be embarrassed by the safety group, and the refugees in the district would be so fearless, and now the ball was kicked to Huang Haoran, he Tang Shengzhi just had to lie there and wait to receive the merit, Huang Haoran did not adjust the food, that is, he disregarded the life and death of his compatriots, and the responsibility was naturally pushed to Huang Haoran's head. It would be better if he was willing to adjust the grain, so that Tang Shengzhi's bragging in front of reporters and deputies would be cashed out, and no matter how he Commander Tang would not suffer!
Huang Haoran could only stand up and call Wang Huanzhi, Tang Shengzhi was sitting on the sofa and the old god was sipping tea, as if the whole thing had nothing to do with him.
After Wang Huanzhi heard the ins and outs of the matter, he asked Huang Haoran how much food the refugees in the safe zone needed, and Huang Haoran threw this question to Tang Shengzhi, but Tang Shengzhi opened his mouth and asked for 600 tons of rice noodles with one mouth, and said that these were only the supply for 5 days, and those public representatives would come again after 5 days.
Tang Shengzhi spoke in a loud voice, Wang Huanzhi also heard it clearly on the phone, 600 tons of grain Nanjing Garrison can be taken out, but listening to the meaning of Tang Shengzhi's words, it seems that it will continue to be taken out in the future, Wang Huanzhi looked at the number of grain in the stock and was worried, the battle in Nanjing does not know when it will be fought, if the military food is used to feed the refugees, the grain in the stock will not last long anyway. If the army starves to death, what will be used to protect the citizens?
Wang Huanzhi told Huang Haoran his thoughts, and Huang Haoran asked Wang Huanzhi to transfer a batch of food to the safety zone for emergency response, and as for other things later, Wang Huanzhi could only send a transport team according to Huang Haoran's order.
Tang Shengzhi, who got the grain, walked out of the gate of Huang Haoran's city defense headquarters with vigor, and faced the swarm of reporters Tang Shengzhi said for more than ten minutes, saying that this release of grain was his own credit, but Huang Haoran, the bleeding rich man, was not mentioned at all.
*****************************************************************************************
After Tang Shengzhi left, Huang Haoran called Wang Huanzhi again, in his memory, the food for the defense of Nanjing should be very sufficient, as the capital of China, the grain stored in the warehouse near Nanjing must not be too small, why is there a tight food supply situation in Nanjing now?
Wang Huanzhi told Huang Haoran that the grain reserves in Nanjing City were indeed a lot, but the main grain warehouses were in the hands of local officials, and after the war, the Nanjing government let the military police take over these granaries, and it stands to reason that the grain in the hands of the Nanjing garrison should be the least worrying of all the materials, but this is not the case.
When Wang Huanzhi took over these warehouses, he found that the figures in the account books were seriously inconsistent with the actual inventory, and some of the warehouses were even more empty, and this was due to the corruption and fraud of government officials, as well as the reason why the military police and businessmen guarding the warehouses colluded to resell grain for profit.
After the supreme authorities left Nanjing, in order to stabilize people's minds and suppress the prices in the market, the Nanjing garrison opened two warehouses and distributed more than 1,000 tons of grain, as well as the citizens who crossed the river, according to Huang Haoran's order, these people were also issued a certain ration by the Nanjing garrison, so that the food in Wang Huanzhi's hands was a lot less, if he really had to afford the food supply of the refugees in the security zone in the future, Wang Huanzhi calculated the existing grain stocks and told Huang Haoran, The grain storage in Nanjing City can last up to half a month.
Half a month's stockpile of grain, this is already a very dangerous number, without food, the battle in Nanjing will not be able to continue, Huang Haoran does not want his hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die under the bayonets of the Japanese but starve down in the trenches!
"Huanzhi, you have to think of a way quickly! I don't believe that there is no food to be found in such a big city of Nanjing, we can't all be starving ghosts! There are also those refugees in the safe zone, we must hurry up and evacuate, tell Xu Zilong, let Sasaki create some violent incidents in the safe zone, as long as those refugees feel that the safe zone is not safe, our river crossing route will have passengers! Hurry up! The devil's offensive is fierce, and I don't want to see another tragedy......"
Huang Haoran's voice was very low, and Wang Huanzhi felt the anxiety and helplessness in Huang Haoran's heart! Wang Huanzhi also didn't understand why the City Defense Command had done so much propaganda work, and there were still so many people who were unwilling to leave Nanjing.
The refugees in the safe zone really underestimated the animality and cruelty of the Japanese, and perhaps in their eyes, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression was not fundamentally different from the warlord melee in previous years, but it was just a change of banner, and what should be done as a common people.
These people do not realize that the battle they are fighting now is a national war between China and Japan, which cannot be compared to those civil wars that are staking ground.
"Commander! I know that there is a black market in Nanjing, and those people still have a lot of supplies in their hands, do you see if it is ......?"
Wang Huanzhi's words made Huang Haoran furious, he hated those shameless people who made a fortune the most, when is it still in the black market in Nanjing City! It's really a matter of asking for money! Huang Haoran doesn't care about having more blood of this kind of person under his hands!
"He Daru's spy group will be handed over to you! The gendarmerie regiment has been in Nanjing for too long, and I am afraid that it has been infiltrated by these local forces, Huanzhi, you must remember to be ruthless when attacking this kind of person! These beasts who have made a fortune are no longer our compatriots! Kill me as many as I want! Save yourself from having a bunch of traitors in the future! ”
Wang Huanzhi originally just wanted to snatch the materials from these black market merchants, but he didn't expect Huang Haoran to actually give a kill order! In Wang Huanzhi's heart, these people are actually guilty of not death, because not long ago, Wang Huanzhi was in the same black market as them, if he is really investigated, should he also be shot?
Huang Haoran seemed to hear Wang Huanzhi's heart, and his deep voice came from the phone again, Huang Haoran told Wang Huanzhi that what he did was different from these black-hearted businessmen, and every penny earned by the 99th Army on the black market eventually became a bullet shot at Little Japan, if all businessmen had such an awareness as Wang Huanzhi, maybe the Japanese would not be able to hit Nanjing City at all.
Wang Huanzhi understood that Huang Haoran was enlightening himself, and he almost drilled the horns of the bull just now, Wang Huanzhi was a little embarrassed to tell Huang Haoran that he had already figured it out.
He Daru's troops braved the heavy rain under the leadership of Wang Huanzhi and rushed to every large-scale black market in Nanjing City, most of the traders chose to surrender to the army and handed over the materials in their hands, a small number of diehards used their armed personnel and special services to exchange fire, in the face of the attack of the regular army, these black-hearted businessmen could not escape the fate of death, within a few hours, Wang Huanzhi executed more than 1,000 people, and the seized materials also surprised him beyond words!
The total amount of materials in the hands of these black-hearted businessmen is very amazing, just one type of grain, more than double the stock of grain in the hands of the Nanjing garrison, Wang Huanzhi found that many sacks containing grain are still marked with the Nanjing government warehouse, needless to say that these grains are the part that is lost from the noses of Nanjing government officials and the military police, and when they learned that all the black markets in the city were destroyed by the city defense headquarters in one fell swoop, several officers of the military police regiment ran over to inquire about the situation, from their dodging eyes, Wang Huanzhi knew that these people were also involved.
In addition to food, the materials in the hands of black market merchants can be described as all-inclusive, from medicine to cloth, from oil to military supplies, as long as there is a shortage in the market, what can be sold at a high price will flow into the black market, Wang Huanzhi actually found a batch of shells of various calibers from the warehouse of a big black market merchant! Furious, Wang Huanzhi ordered the machine gunner to whip the black marketeer with bullets for five minutes!
Looking at Wang Huanzhi, who was full of fierce faces, the officers of the military police regiment who had been wandering around for a long time all slipped away, and they were also afraid of this deputy commander Wang......
