683, Bai Shujie's letter
Hearing the chief's inquiry about the artillery parameters, Zhao Meiyan hurriedly said: "This is a total of 24 Meiji 41-style 75mm mountain guns, with a total combat weight of 540 kg and a maximum range of 6,300 meters; This is a total of 24 Meiji 38 to 75mm field guns, with a total combat weight of 1135 kg and a maximum range of 11500 meters. Each gun is equipped with 7,200 rounds of high-explosive shells and 2,400 rounds of incendiary rounds. ”
"It's all Japanese cannons, good stuff!"
Zhao Meiyan said loudly: "This is all because the little devil was forced to compensate the Rehe Front Army." If it weren't for the fact that the road was too far, I would have wanted to get back a 105mm and 150mm heavy artillery regiment for the center. Unfortunately, I can't move it without a truck. ”
"But Bai Shujie promised me, as long as the conditions are ripe, he will give me a heavy artillery regiment, 24 105mm field cannons, and 24 150mm field cannons. Look at the big guys, these cannons are like toys. ”
The chairman suddenly came over and said, "I see that there are more than a hundred large boxes, and what kind of treasure are they in?" Comrade Mei Yan, open our eyes. ”
Zhao Meiyan saluted the chairman, then turned around and ran around the box for a long time, only to find that it was divided into four specifications.
Struggle to open the first, lathe; Re-open, lathe; Open it again, or a lathe!
opened 72 large iron boxes in one go, and all of them were iron lumps. Zhao Meiyan hadn't learned machinery, so she didn't know what these iron bumps were for, so she was so anxious that her tears fell, so she had to turn around and say: "Report Chairman and leaders, I don't know what Bai Shujie asked me to bring these iron bumps back for." ”
"Haha, Comrade Mei Yan, you don't understand this!" A very handsome chief with a Jiangsu-Zhejiang accent came over and said, "Look, there are words on it." This type of box is a production line of Czech light machine guns! ”
"And this, that's the bullet line. And here, this is a grenade production line. Good thing, Comrade Mei Yan! Their value is more valuable than these cannons, and they can't be bought with money, which is a great favor! ”
Zhao Meiyan was skeptical: "Really, chief, you didn't comfort me, right?" ”
"Of course it's true! If this kind of thing is known to others, no matter how much it costs, others will rob it halfway. No wonder Comrade Bai Shujie wants to keep it strictly secret. ”
The last slip of the iron box opened, and once again surprised all the **s**: gold bars!
There is a list of 125 gold bars on each box, 80 large iron boxes, and a total of 10,000 gold bars!
"Chairman, this Comrade Bai Shujie knows that our Central Committee is poor and white, which is really a relief in the snow." The handsome chief turned to the chairman and said: "10,000 gold bars, Chairman Jiang can't take them out at once, our reserves for the establishment of the border bank are enough, and it is still a big bank!" ”
When Zhao Meiyan opened the last box again, she didn't expect that there was a letter on the top: "Chairman, here is a handwritten letter from Bai Shujie to you!" ”
The chairman was also interested: "Oh? Bring it to me and show me what it says! ”
"Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Commander-in-Chief Zhu and heads of the Central Committee: Hello! I'm Bai Shujie, and I'm taking the liberty to write to you today. These things are all given away for free by the little devils, and they are not a tribute. I have a suggestion for the use of gold bars: to take out half of it to improve the food of the Red Army officers and men, and the other half to serve as a reserve for the banks of the border districts. ”
"We have been fighting with the little devil for many years, and we know that the little devil has an excellent body and an excellent individual soldier. The riflemen's marksmanship and bayonet melee combat ability are invincible in Asia. Although the vast number of officers and men of our Red Army went through the 25,000-mile Long March, although they were all revolutionary elites, the long journey was extremely costly. The little devil is about to start in North China, and I hope that the Red Army soldiers will be able to fight in the best physical condition. ”
"Regarding the artillery regiment and the air defense battalion, this is a deterrent force, so that Jiang and the future little devils do not dare to peep into the base areas in northern Shaanxi. Therefore, I don't want to use it separately for the time being. As for the light and heavy machine guns and mortars needed by the various units of the Red Army, they could be drawn from Zhao Meiyan's independent division, because I equipped her with double copies. ”
"As for the nature of the Rehe Front, it does not belong to the southern government or to any individual, it belongs to the Chinese people. It was born to resist foreign aggression and exist to protect the people. We have always maintained that there are no friends or alliances in relations between countries, but only eternal national and national interests. ”
"In the past 100 years, the Chinese nation has experienced too much humiliation. The blood stains of Hailan Pao Jiangdong 64 Tun have not dried, and the souls of more than 7,000 people have no peace; The island of the black blind hangs alone, and Vladivostok is still occupied by foreign enemies. Japanese militarism controls the government, and the dream of annexing China is about to be put into practical action. The state affairs are becoming stronger and more dangerous. ”
"The future and fate of the Rehe Front are closely related to the life and death of the entire nation. The vast number of commanders and fighters have always pursued progress and are willing to shed blood and sacrifice for the sake of the interests of the nation. Comrade Zhao Meiyan has also done a lot of arduous and fruitful work in the early stage, and has laid the foundation, and I hope that the work will be further deepened in the future. Bai Shujie bowed down. ”
"Enlai, boss, and Peng, Bai Shujie's letter is also for you, take a look, and we will continue to study this matter in the evening. Comrade Mei Yan, come with me. Hehe, you gave us so many things, I invite you to eat chili! ”
Zhao Meiyan instructed the communication company to follow her, because there were still some large boxes that had not been opened. But they didn't seal it, and I don't know what it was.
When the chairman saw that there was still a box, he was a little surprised: "What is this?" ”
Bai Shujie said that in addition to a box that was specially given to Vice Chairman Zhou's radio station, there were also items given by Zhao Jinxi and Gan Tong to Sister He, Sister Deng, Sister Kang and others. Of course, there are also the chairman's cigarettes, Vice Chairman Zhou's wine, and various types of guns that Mr. Zhu, Mr. Peng, Mr. Lin, and Mr. Liu like. ”
Zhao Meiyan said embarrassedly: "In addition, there are some canned food for little devils or something, Bai Shujie said that these things have nothing to do with the overall situation, they are just personal hobbies, so he asked me to send the chiefs to the room." ”
That night, Zhao Meiyan was fortunate to attend the chairman's family banquet, and only then did she understand what Bai Shujie meant when he said that "the Central Red Army is very difficult". So she was eating and crying.
Sister He found a problem: "Mei Yan, what's wrong with you?" ”
"The chairman and the Central Red Army suffered!" Zhao Meiyan shook her head and said: "I have worked in Rehe Province for two years, and the people there eat better than the chairman, and I feel uncomfortable. Damn Chiang Kai-shek, I can't spare him! ”
The chairman asked casually: "Comrade Mei Yan, I haven't asked you. How old is Bai Shujie this year? ”
Zhao Meiyan said with a smile: "According to himself, he and Lin. Comrade Biao, Su. Comrade Yu in the same year. I don't know how he would have known so much. ”
The chairman smiled slightly: "You have worked in Rehe Province for two years, what do you think of Comrade Bai Shujie?" ”
"Bai Shujie gives people the feeling that he is a very contradictory person." Zhao Meiyan shook her head: "He treats his own people like scoundrels, treats enemies like hooligans, and treats Japanese devils like butchers." He has many hobbies, such as smoking and drinking, but he never touches them. ”
"What's going on with the army in Rehe, it's the garrison headquarters for a while, and the Rehe Front army for a while, how many people are there?"
Zhao Meiyan nodded: "Externally, it is called the Garrison Command, and the commander is called Gan Tong, and there are more than 40,000 people in three integrated divisions. Internally, the Rehe Front Army, with commander-in-chief Bai Shujie and deputy commander-in-chief Zhao Jinxi, has more than 70,000 people under its jurisdiction: one guard division, four field divisions, two heavy artillery regiments, one guard regiment, and one inspection regiment. There are also more than 30,000 people in two independent divisions and three independent regiments behind enemy lines. The total strength is about 150,000, and the supplementary brigade is more than 80,000 people. ”
The chairman nodded: "Good fellow, the army of more than 200,000 people is indeed a big front army, no wonder he can dominate one side, so that internal and external forces dare not act rashly." ”
Zhao Meiyan was puzzled: "Bai Shujie is one year older than me, and he has never been south of the Yellow River. However, he is so precious to our central leadership and the senior commanders and fighters of the army, and even has his own evaluation of everyone, and this is what puzzles me very much. ”
Sister He became interested: "Oh? Let's talk about what he says. ”
"He said that the chairman is a generation of strategists, military strategists, and politicians that have not been encountered in a thousand years, and Chiang Kai-shek is not worthy of lifting shoes for the chairman." Zhao Meiyan said in a low voice: "But the evaluation of leading soldiers is just the opposite. ”
The chairman interjected: "Why is it the other way around?" ”
He said that Chiang Kai-shek was a very qualified battalion commander, and if he was made a regiment commander, a company commander among the Red Army soldiers would be able to defeat him. Since he said that Chiang Kai-shek was not worthy of carrying shoes for the chairman, but Bai Shujie said that the chairman was probably the best company commander in the world, so I was confused. ”
The chairman lit a cigarette: "Interesting, interesting, go on, see what else he has to say!" ”
Zhao Meiyan also smiled: "He said that the chairman is the company commander, Mr. Zhu is the deputy company commander, Vice Chairman Zhou is the instructor, the first platoon leader is Mr. Lin, the second platoon leader is Mr. Peng, the third platoon leader is Mr. Liu, and the fourth platoon leader is Mr. Su, and he just happens to be a guard squad leader for the chairman." ”
The chairman nodded slightly: "Who are the Mr. Liu and Mr. Su he is referring to?" ”
"I haven't heard of these two people, Mr. Liu seems to be called Liu. Uncle. Cheng, Mr. Su seems to be called Su. Abundant. Zhao Meiyan continued: "Su. Yuyuan and Mr. Lin are partners, and when the chairman was ostracized by others, he once served as a guard company commander for the chairman in Xingguo. Bai Shujie said that he himself was under these people, and his highest position might be a squad leader, and he couldn't catch up with Xu. Sea. Dong, Chen. Geng these people, most and Yang. Yes. Take: They're pretty much the same. ”
"It seems that Comrade Bai Shujie has studied our party and our Red Army in depth, and is a rare good comrade." Finally, the chairman asked: "Comrade Mei Yan, I heard that you are coming back this time to prepare for the transfer of military power, who do you think will be able to take over your position?" How do you think about your work? ”
Zhao Meiyan shook her head: "I don't know how to fight, I just want to send the troops back." As long as it is a person who can be trusted by the chairman, anyone can come out to be the commander of this division. But to really give full play to the combat effectiveness of this mixed division, the first is Mr. Lin, the second is Mr. Su, and the third is Mr. Peng. ”
"Because the firepower of this division extends all the way to a distance of ten kilometers, it is able to complete a campaign independently, and it belongs to a strategic force, rather than participating in a simple local battle. If properly applied, this division was able to crush five divisions of Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army head-on. As for myself, I would prefer to stay with the chairman as an orderly. ”
After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
