Chapter 250
The 21st year of the Republic of China was a new starting point for the northwest. As time went by, Gansu bought 30,000 tons of guns and cannons from Germany, which had been purchased by Gansu, arrived one after another, and most of the rebuilt arsenals successively produced guns and cannons. The rails ordered from the United States also began to be laid from Xi'an to Yanchang Oil Mine, and from Tianshui, Gansu at the same time.
The rails produced by Tianshui Iron and Steel Plant were also spread out from Tianshui to Xi'an and Lanzhou. Jiang Li's use of the rails of Tianshui Iron and Steel Plant once aroused protests and opposition from the American construction company. However, Jiang Li personally met with representatives of the construction company and promised not to reduce the previous rail orders. It also explained that the future railway construction plan in the northwest, the representatives of the construction company learned that Jiang Li had a larger intention to build a railway, and even with the steel of Tianshui Iron and Steel Plant could not meet all the needs for a while, and immediately rushed over and left with excitement. Notified the company's senior management personnel of the good news and won the orders after Jiang Li with a better cooperation foundation.
In the northwest, more than 500 kilometers of highways from Lanzhou through important cities such as Baiyin to Yinchuan, a total of 1,300 kilometers of highways from Lanzhou to Xining, Lanzhou to Tianshui, etc. These highways extend to both ends from each city as the starting point, so the construction speed is quite fast.
"Yang Hucheng pulled the Shaanxi security division back to suppress the bandits, but it was not really a big deal to fight. I know that the Red Fourth Front Army is in a dilemma now, but it is inappropriate to send troops to support it on the surface. Otherwise, Gansu's import machinery and talent channels will be cut off by Nanjing. This is not conducive to our plan for the long-term war of resistance in the future." Jiang Li frowned and said.
"But now Nanjing has launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression of Jiangxi and the Fourth Red Front Army. The situation is already very critical. If I cannot get foreign aid, I will be worried about the entire army being wiped out." Liu Lanbo said worriedly.
"Nanjing is indeed not authentic. I and Nanjing will turn against each other sooner or later. I will arrange other channels to support some bullets, shells, and necessary medical supplies to the Red Fourth Front Army. But Jiangxi is too far away, and there is no way out for the time being." Jiang Li thought for a while, and finally decided to take the risk.
"Thank you, Commander." Liu Lanbo nodded and said gratefully. The 15th Army purchased hundreds of millions of dollars from overseas. Although one of the materials had arrived, there were still a large amount of materials on the way to transport them. Once Jiang Li's funding for the red forces reached Nanjing's ears, this fragile supply line would be completely devastating. Compared with this batch of materials, Liu Lanbo and the highest-level Red team paid the most attention to Jiang Li's attitude. Although he entered the northwest and became a huge armed group, Jiang Li was still the Jiang Li of the past and did not forget his original words because of his growing wings.
"This is what I should do." Jiang Li waved his hand, feeling a little powerless. He is located in the northwest and is always timid in doing things. But this is also impossible. In order to expel the Japanese army as soon as possible, it is inevitable to choose the red forces. Although the capitalist market economic system has certain advantages, under the threat of the Japanese invaders, the planned economy in the red is more suitable. As long as everyone in the planned system is on the chariot of the Anti-Japanese War, Jiang Li can raise the industry in the northwest as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it will take too long to introduce talents and increase capital investment by relying solely on previous means. Jiang Li can't wait that long, and he cannot follow the steps as the historical process.
"Commander!" Feng Zhanhai, Jiang Wenhao, Gao Zhihang and others all appeared at Jiang Li's commander's department with sad and angry expressions.
"What happened?" Jiang Li asked with his eyes narrowed.
Feng Zhanhai handed a telegram in front of Jiang Li, which was a message of the Pingdingshan Massacre.
"On September 16, the Japanese army massacred more than 3,000 unarmed people in Pingding Mountain. More than 800 houses were burned, and men, women, young and old were slaughtered. The radius of more than ten miles disappeared!" Feng Zhanhaihan said in a voice.
Bang! Jiang Li's fist hit the table, and the blue and white porcelain tea cup on the edge of the table fell to the ground and broke.
"In the name of the 15th Route Army Headquarters, the Pingdingshan Massacre, 3,000 Chinese elderly, weak women and children died tragically at the hands of the Japanese army, and they questioned Nanjing whether they dare to fight. Call the young marshal, the old Zhang family originated in the northeast, and the love of 30 million people in Northeast China is as rich as today. The hometown suffered this disaster. The young marshal dares to go north side by side with the 15th Route Army to fight against the Japanese invaders and avenge this bloody revenge for the victims!" Jiang Li said in a gloomy tone, "In addition, secretly execute the Japanese prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camp!"
"Commander, is this move a little too radical?" Liu Lanbo said with some concern.
"Just do this, if you don't dare, you will just roll the mat and get out of bed!" Jiang Li looked at the generals in front of him with red eyes. As a time traveler, Jiang Li was increasingly unable to accept the fact that thousands of people were massacred by the Japanese army like livestock.
"Swear to advance and retreat with the commander!" Feng Zhanhai, Jiang Wenhao, Wang Sanpao and other military generals all hissed and roared.
"Okay, the fuck, the arsenal has been rebuilt one after another, and it will be completely rigorous by the end of the year. When the machinery purchased one after another is in place, we don't have to ask for help. We produce guns and cannons by ourselves. If Nanjing does not dare to fight with the Japanese army, we will raise the flag and fight with the Japanese army to the end. Those bastards don't feel sorry for the people in the occupied areas. Let's rescue them. One day, they will have to fight to the Japanese and ask those Japanese to pay their blood debts and blood debts!"
"The Japanese invaders are inhumane. On September 16, they were killed in Pingding, Liaoning, and massacred more than 3,000 unarmed people!"
"In addition to the number, Lanzhou introduced a 7,000-ton free water pressure forging machine, and the industrial capacity of the Republic of China soared several levels."
"In addition to the Pingdingshan Massacre, Jiang Li, commander of the 15th Route Army, and dozens of generals under his command jointly questioned Nanjing and Northeast Army Commander Zhang Xueliang, and strongly took the initiative to fight!"
Although the Japanese army did a lot of work afterwards, destroying corpses and creating fake certificates, the 3,000 people were slaughtered, and there were survivors afterwards, and the people in the nearby towns had sharp eyes. Even though Kawakami Jingichi personally borrowed 50,000 yuan to bribe the League of Nations investigation team, which was still in Fengtian, so that they could avoid mentioning this matter. Nanjing was at the critical moment of suppressing Red Red and was unwilling to have trouble at this time and remained silent for a while, but Jiang Li's 15th Army suddenly overturned the table. He stabbed this matter to everyone, and for a time, the national anti-Japanese war sentiment was once again pushed to the peak.
At this time, the arsenal's resumption of production increased Jiang Li's confidence, and the remaining two divisions were expanded in one go. At this time, the 15th Army of the National Revolutionary Army headed by Jiang Li also reached an astonishing three infantry divisions, four mixed brigades, three temporary brigades, and three cavalry brigades. As for technical troops, Jiang Li used a total of 40 tanks and armored vehicles to form a teaching brigade under the jurisdiction of two armored battalions. In addition, 12 air defense companies including 8 12.7mm machine guns, 6 20mm Ericon machine guns, and 2 88mm Fobos anti-aircraft guns. Two heavy heavy heavy heavy powers have been completed one after another.
