Chapter 246: Independent Division and Base Ten
"Hurry up, get me all the food on the boat!" Zhang Feihu shouted loudly, his company was responsible for dealing with the devils in Changxing. Due to the large concentration of manpower in the Yellow River area of the Central China Dispatch Army, the manpower in Jiangsu and Zhejiang was insufficient, and there was only one squadron of devils in the Changxing area.
Among the readers, considering the supply of logistical ammunition, Suomi was not equipped much, and the vast majority of them were replaced with Garand rifles. Even then, ammunition replenishment is a big burden. With the expansion of the team, it is already a bit unbearable to rely on air transportation alone.
The devil has also noticed this route, dispatched planes to intercept it several times, and also caused the vanguard to lose two Junkers. It wasn't until the night flight was turned on and the escort aircraft were added that the devil's interception was a little worse. They also carried out several sieges and suppressions of the readers. The strategic maneuver space in the Luyang area was too small, and after Fan Chong's proposal, they moved to the area of Tianmu Mountain and Huangshan Mountain, where there is a broader mountain space.
"Company commander, there is still a large amount of lump coal here, do you want to pull it away together?" A fighter shouted. Zhang Feihu has been promoted to company commander at this time due to his outstanding military achievements. This is also one of the reasons why he refused the invitation of the Three Hands and did not go to the Wolf Tooth Special Forces, but stayed in the Mountain Division. After all, he hadn't heard much about special forces, and they were comparable to being an official.
"What is this thing pulling? There aren't many cars in the first place, so let's load food first! Tea leaves and raw silk are also loaded. Zhang Feihu shouted. In the past, when I was in the Northeast, it was freezing in winter, and sometimes I could save my life with coal. But in the vicinity of Taihu Lake, I heard that sometimes there is no ice in winter, so there is really no need to use these coals. The power units on the mountain are all fuel-guzzling and do not require coal.
"Wait, where did all this coal come from?" Monkey Jiujiu asked, Meng Xiang had already ordered all the clones to pay attention to the situation of coal resources in various places at any time.
"Deputy company commander, it seems that coal is already produced here in Changxing!" The soldier replied.
"We have a few new recruits here, let them come and ask! By the way, I also looked for the people around me and asked about the specific situation. Zhang Feihu saw that the monkey had been paying attention to it for a long time, and couldn't help but ask for his partner. This partner of his own, who is brave in battle, has good personal skills, and has no problems with small actions behind his back, which is very much in line with his heart. It's just that he is a little dull in receiving people and things, and he is unreasonable about interpersonal relationships, and he has the same cold face as the law enforcement officer in the camp. However, they are very reasonable, do not lose their temper and take revenge. This is also what makes Zhang Feihu admire.
"Hurry up! After moving, we may be able to go to Huzhou for a walk! He checked back and forth and shouted one by one, but did not jump on the boat, he got seasick when he got on the boat, and it was better to walk on foot.
There was no shortage of food on the mountain, and the scale of the reading teachers was huge, and there were already more than 20,000 people at this time. Coupled with a mountain brigade of nearly 10,000 people, the daily consumption is very large, but at the same time, it also makes the devils helpless for a while, the surrounding areas are all land of fish and rice, and food can be obtained at any time.
Not only did ammunition and medicines come by air, but the last time the devil planned to block the supply of salt in the area around the reader, a large amount of salt was transported from the air, not only to meet the needs of the reader, but also to sell directly to the surrounding area, so that the devil's plan failed.
Matches, cigarettes, and oil were also brought in from the Special Economic Zone, as were tea, raw silk, sugar, and other materials from the surrounding areas. However, with the increase in the volume of air transport, the number of these civilian goods transported has been greatly reduced.
"There is a coal mine in Changxing? And it's not small? Meng Xiang couldn't help but ask happily. Changxing did have coal mines for a long time, but in later generations, it was basically mined, and it was transferred to Guangde, neighboring Anhui. Meng Xiang didn't know anything about this, but when he heard that there was a large-scale coal mine in Changxing, he couldn't help but have the idea of establishing a sub-base.
There has always been a shortage of coal in the south, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and as far as Meng Xiang knows, Changxing is one of the few coal mining areas in Zhejiang.
As for the readers, with the expansion of the team, it is not enough to rely on the air supply of the Special Administrative Region. Part of the machines for repairing guns have already been shipped there, but for a large army it is still far from enough. Without machines and manpower, it is difficult for the reader to establish a stable logistics system.
Although Rat One is the highest-ranking clone now, he is still hovering at the sixth level, and it is not easy for him to maintain the normal operation of the Reading Force. The recruited stragglers have all kinds of characters, and if it weren't for the clone warriors among them, they would have dispersed a long time ago.
The ratio of clones among the Reader is the highest, always around 1:5. Each squad is guaranteed to have two clones. This controlled the stability of the Reading Division, and as the Reading Division ran in, Rat Yi also gathered a part of the diehards, and with the support of the clones, he had mastered the entire operation of the Reading Division, and several disobedient thorns had been cleared. The soldiers they left behind were soon integrated into the group of Reading Forcemen with a stable and generous salary.
At this time, the fiat currency was still strong, and it directly crushed the counterfeit coins and military tickets issued by the devils, and the reader simply issued fiat currency to the soldiers. With the spread of the Pioneer coin, the Reader and the surrounding areas also recognized this metal military ticket comparable to the silver dollar. Only fiat currency and metal military stamps were issued, which also made Meng Xiang's financial burden much easier, but it did not reduce the transportation of ammunition.
And with the support of the sub-base, these problems can be solved. But how do you get there from the base car?
The No. 10 base car has been produced and is now heading towards Junan.
This time, Linyi's defense was easier, and the direct jurisdiction of the Zaozhuang sub-base directly covered Linyi. Tank factories and repair shops can be pushed directly to the front. But a large part of the area east of Linyi was not covered. After thinking about it for a long time, Meng Xiang chose the place of Junan.
There are many mountains in the Junan area, which are suitable for hiding. The northeast of the area directly under the central jurisdiction of Junan can be connected to the high-density sub-bases, and the southeast corner of the special zone can be tightly blocked. The Junan sub-base can also directly control Yuezhao and Lianyungang, providing convenient conditions for future attacks and occupations.
Although there is no coal in the surrounding area, a high-heat geothermal resource dominated by Hedong Tangtou Hot Spring and Xinwanggou Hot Spring in Yinan in the north can still supply two power stations respectively. Although the power is insufficient, it can provide the normal operation of the base. Meng Xiang remembered that there were basically not many coal mines in the Linyi area in later generations, and there seemed to be a bit of large-scale coal mines near Luozhuang and Lanshan. It is also possible to set up a power plant there, which is also close to Zaozhuang, which is rich in coal, and can transport coal from Zaozhuang.
With the Junan sub-base, the defense ring of the Special Administrative Region will be perfected.
"Commander Xiaobai, the Bavarian and class battleships have been built." The only one who calls Meng Xiang like this is Xiaohua. Meng Xiang didn't care, his heart was already filled with the words she said.
The battleship was finally built. Although it belongs to someone else, this one can be exchanged for money.
As the territory of the Vanguard Army grew larger and the number of weapons traded with the Germans increased, the Germans were also very interested in the Vanguard Army supported by the mysterious organization.
After the vanguard army borrowed 10 million yuan from the Germans, some of Meng Xiang's requests for the introduction of equipment and technology were fulfilled in advance. Excluding the battleships, the friendliness of the vanguard to Germany and the forces behind it alone were enough for this value.
Now that the battleship has finally been built, it means that a lot of money is in hand.
At this time, Meng Xiang did not delay for a moment, as early as when checking the progress of shipbuilding, Meng Xiang notified the Germans in advance to pick up the goods. Room 51 was also present in advance.
"My name is Carl. Hoffman. Beside Lieutenant Wilhelm, one of the leading Germans had the same serious and rigid face.
"Hello!" The expressions on which 51 greeted the people were the same as those of the dozen or so Germans who came.
"Where's the ship?" Lieutenant William asked directly.
"I'll be here in a moment, but not two!" 51 times, he is now practicing the tactfulness of language.
"Huh?" William frowned, only that Carl. Hoffman didn't say anything, just looked at the room.
"It's three, we have three Bavarian battleships! Do you want the other one? "51 tries to make his smile natural, not just standard.
Cal. Hoffman's eyes widened sharply, then shrunk again.
"Let's take a look at the ship first!" He said in a faint tone, but the white gloves he had taken off were clenched tightly in his hands.
"Alright then!" 51 looked at the three-thousand-ton merchant ship behind the Germans, there were not many people on it, only one or two hundred bare-handed people, not like Scott on his side was already fully armed.
"This Scott destroyer works very well!" Cal. Hoffman didn't just say it lightly.
"Yes!" Room 51 replied honestly.
"Do you still have any?" Seeing that 51 didn't pick up, Hoffman couldn't help but ask. Although the surname of the Scott warship is already a little backward, but in the hands of this mysterious organization, it is a very high surname price, and the domestic production capacity is insufficient, this Scott is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Yes! How much do you need? "51 has already been instructed by Meng Xiang. As long as the Germans want to buy, then sell.
"We can buy three more!" Cal. Hoffman said directly.
