Chapter 118 Borrowing a Nest to Incubate Eggs (1)
After all the real counts of this huge military warehouse were counted out, even though Yang Zhen was calm, he was a little excited. Looking at the reported material list, Yang Zhen couldn't help but smile bitterly at his rare loss of composure. He had secretly joked about Wang Guangyu's a little petty and could not stand the big scene, and he was not getting better now.
Just when Yang Zhen was excited to obtain such a large batch of arms supplies, he was worried that any fish that missed the net would endanger Yang Zhen's safety. With the assistance of a company sent by Wang Guangyu, Li Mingrui reported to Yang Zhen another news that should definitely be considered good news now.
"What? Are there more than 10,000 living workers found in the rows of nests in the back mountain? And there is an unfinished warehouse?" Hearing Li Mingrui's report, Yang Zhen could no longer hide the excitement in his heart, and for the first time these days, he showed some gratifying smile on his face.
With a large number of sufficient arms, enough food for 30,000 people to eat for two years, and enough of tens of thousands of people to use for several years, and now providing sufficient soldiers, Yang Zhenfangfo saw a well-equipped and powerful anti-Japanese army appearing in front of him.
Looking at the smile on Yang Zhen's face, Wang Guangyu, Li Mingrui, Dong Ping and others on the other side couldn't help but feel excited and laughed happily. Fools knew that with such a huge amount of supplies and equipment, they could be said to be pillows falling from the world. Not only was the urgent need of the troops solved, but the troops could also develop and grow.
Seeing everyone, including Yang Zhen, everyone looked excited, Wang Guangyu said: "This time the commander commanded like a god. He took down such a large military warehouse as the Japanese without bloodshed. He seized so much supplies, which not only solved our current urgent needs, but also laid a solid foundation for our future development and growth. There is no wine, otherwise we should have a drink and celebrate it well."
Regarding Wang Guangyu's words, now because there is no suitable candidate to take over at the moment, Dong Ping, who is the headquarters' combat staff and political commissar of the reconnaissance team, happily interrogated: "Deputy Chief of Staff, we don't have wine in China, but the Japanese's sake has been seized a lot. If you want to celebrate, tell the commander and ask him to approve you a few bottles?"
Regarding Dong Ping's half-joking and half-serious words, Wang Guangyu shook his head and said, "Take it down, the Japanese have drunk wine, just like boiled water, and there is no energy. If there is a jar of Dehui Daqu produced by our "Fuyu He Boiling Pot", how good it would be. That is the real good wine, and the wine that the man can drink."
Speaking of his hometown wine, Wang Guangyu, who has left his hometown since the September 18th Incident, not only felt homesick: "Since the fall of the Northeast, he joined the army, participated in the Anti-Japanese Volunteers to study in Harbin, and left his hometown for several years. Now he has been in the military career and has been on the battlefield for hundreds of battles. I don't know if he will have the opportunity to go back to his hometown and drink his hometown wine in the future."
Seeing Wang Guangyu's mood seemed a little depressed, Yang Zhen patted his shoulder and said firmly: "Guangyu, as long as we work hard to kill the enemy and drive out the Japanese invaders, we will definitely restore my beautiful country in the northeast. Believe me, your comrades, and our comrades. By the day of victory, we will all accompany you home and drink your famous wine."
When Wang Guangyu's low mood improved a little, Yang Zhen nodded and said, "However, we cannot relax at all now. The victory this time is just the first step in our Long March, and it will be the time to truly test us in the future."
Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said seriously to the people in front of him: "We are still in a state of rest. Guangyu, your troops must immediately enter the various defensive positions originally set up by the Japanese army and defend the entire warehouse. In addition, don't move the minefields originally set up by the Japanese army for the time being. After I come up with a reliable plan, I will deal with it."
After saying that, Yang Zhen said to Li Mingrui and Dong Ping again: "Dong Ping, you immediately take two teams to welcome the commander-in-chief and the main force. At the same time, he telegraphed the political commissar and the chief of staff that he must do a good job in the containment of the troops and do not let alone fall behind. Especially those recruits."
After the two people were executed separately, Yang Zhen turned his head and handed him the stack of information collected from the Japanese garrison commander's office, as well as the passwords used for daily contact between the Japanese garrison commander and the Japanese army stationed in Jiamusi, which were confiscated from the Japanese confidential room, the call frequency and notification records.
Yang Zhen pointed to Li Mingrui, who was confused about his meaning after receiving these things, said: "These are the frequency and passwords of the daily calls between the Japanese garrison and Jiamusi and the Kanto Army Command here."
"The radio operator of your reconnaissance team is a puppet Manchukuo high school student from Weihe County and knows Japanese. You ask him to pretend to be a Japanese radio operator to continue contacting Japanese troops from all over the country every day. Let him pay attention to the method of sending and receiving newspapers and prepare to speak."
"Because from the information, the Japanese radio operator here has been here for more than three years. I believe the radio operator should be very familiar with his methods. Never disclose the secrets that the base has been occupied by us from the information technology. In addition, you will take your reconnaissance team forward and deploy near Jiamusi. Closely monitor the every move of the Japanese army in Jiamusi."
Listening to Yang Zhen's series of deployments, Li Mingrui said in confusion: "Commander, why are you doing this? When the main force comes, we will transport the warehouse supplies away and evacuate. When the Japanese find out that something is wrong here, we will have gone far away. Why do we have to go so hard?"
In response to Li Mingrui's answer, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "We need at least one month to conduct training now. With more than 10,000 new recruits, the proportion of new recruits in the army is a bit scary."
"How can you marching and training with so many arms, supplies, and those bulky machines and equipment used to make weapons? So I want to borrow this land of the Japanese for a while to train the troops."
Hearing Yang Zhen's answer, Li Mingrui was stunned. He could hardly believe his ears. The commander actually wanted to use the Japanese to train the troops. This idea was really incredible.
After thinking for a long time, Li Mingrui, who had not figured out how to answer Yang Zhen, couldn't help but stutter: "You really want to use this place as a secret camp? This is too, too? Are you discussing with the commander-in-chief, the political commissar, and the chief of staff first?"
At the shock of Li Mingrui, Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "This place is less than 100 kilometers away from Jiamusi, where the Japanese army is stationed. It can be said that it is just under the nose of the Japanese army. There is an old Chinese saying that it is dark under the light."
"And from the beginning of last year to the beginning of this year, the Japanese army mobilized heavy troops to carry out a cruel sweep of the Anti-Japanese United Army, which was originally active in the territory of Tangyuan. The plan to return to the garrison and household mergers had been completed. Our army of tens of thousands of people was hidden here, hiding under the eyes of the Japanese. The Japanese would never have thought that we would be so bold."
"In addition, the Little Khingan Mountains, which are surrounded by a vast land and sparsely populated, are not too far from the Sino-Soviet border. For us, we can move straight to Jiamusi, and we can move north to the Soviet Union to avoid being surrounded on all sides. We can cross the Little Khingan Mountains in the west and meet with the three anti-Japanese armies from the Helen area. We are in an extremely convenient position where we can attack, retreat and defend, and can be transferred at any time."
"As for the real reason why I really decided to borrow the hidden secrets of the Japanese, it is precisely because this is the top-secret strategic garage warehouse of the Japanese. The Japanese have already mastered our activities, including the laws of the Anti-Japanese United Nations activities. They are familiar with the characteristics of our fight and leaving after we fight and will never be entangled for a long time."
"If we take this warehouse, they may believe it, but if we say that we keep it away after taking this warehouse, the Japanese may not believe it. So as long as we are more careful and don't find any big suspicious things by the Japanese, at least we can deceive the Japanese for a month."
"The Japanese are too confident. This is their advantage, but they are also their biggest weakness. Why don't we take advantage of this Japanese weakness and find ourselves a temporary place to recuperate?"
"Besides, even if the Japanese discovered that we occupied their warehouses, they still refused to leave. We rely on the terrain here and the large amount of materials we seized, it would be no problem to stick to it for a month. What else can I worry about? The Japanese have purchased fortifications, even air raid shelters and arsenals for me. Why don't I enjoy it well? Is there any right to their efforts?"
Li Mingrui shook his head and it was difficult to accept Yang Zhen's bold idea. But Li Mingrui knew that he could not persuade Yang Zhen, so he could only nod and wait until the commander-in-chief and the political commissar arrived before talking.
After receiving a telegram that Yang Zhen's battle went smoothly, he had seized the Japanese warehouse and seized a huge amount of materials. After discussing with Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun and others, he decided to follow the requirements of Yang Zhen's telegram, no soldiers were left, and the entire army went to the Japanese warehouse in Qunceshan.
After arriving at Qunce Mountain and following Dong Ping's support, after entering the warehouse, let alone Li Yanping, Guo Bingxun and others, even the mature and steadfast commander-in-chief was shocked by the amount of supplies stored in the warehouse.
Looking at the stunned expressions of several people, Yang Zhen smiled and took them to the Japanese garrison commander's office and said: "Commander-in-chief, political commissar, we have made a fortune this time."
"In this battle, we did not count the weapons seized from the Japanese garrison. We seized 20,000 Japanese Type 38 infantry and cavalry rifles from the warehouse alone, 800 Taisho 11th-type light machine guns, 300 Japanese Type 96 light machine guns and 600 Type 92 heavy machine guns. Various types of pneumatic machine guns and bullets are enough for three Japanese reorganized divisions to use for one year."
"In addition, there are more than 70 Type 92 infantry cannons, fifty-six 75mm mountain field cannons, twelve 150mm heavy howitzers in the fourth year of the Taisho 150mm. mortars of various calibers, more than 100,000 shells of various calibers, and more than 200,000 mortar shells. However, there are not many heavy shells, only more than 6,000."
"By the way, there are still three thousand Belgian-built fast and slow machines that have not yet been opened, with two million bullets. Judging from the seized information, these fast and slow machines were imported by the puppet Manchukuo government to prepare to equip the puppet Manchukuo army."
"However, as for why the Japanese army imported weapons from the puppet Manchukuo Army, the reason is very simple. This batch of weapons was originally part of the weapons urgently ordered by the National Government after the July 7 Incident two years ago, and was prepared to equip the Central Army. In order to prevent the National Government from importing weapons, the Japanese army reached a note with Germany and many European countries, especially the importers of traditional weapons of the National Government. In addition to the weapons that had been shipped before mid-year, the remaining weapons are not for sale."
"In addition to Germany, in order to destroy China's war of resistance and reduce the combat capabilities of the national army, the National Government imported weapons contracts from other countries, and the Japanese army could destroy them if they could destroy them. The small number of them were allocated special funds for the purchase of the Japanese government. However, according to the information, most of these funds were issued by some pseudo-Manchukuo regimes, such as puppet Manchukuo."
"This batch of weapons was specially purchased by the Japanese army to terminate the contract between Belgium and the National Government. But I don't know why it was handed over to Manchukuo and was stored here. It may also be that the Japanese army was not very relieved about the Manchukuo army and did not intend to give the Manchukuo army too well-equipped weapons."
"There are also 10,000 Czech-making rifles and nearly one million bullets that were imported from the Czech Republic before the September 18th Incident. After the Northeast Army had not yet been used, they were seized by the Japanese army. After the 70,000 bullets were built here, they were also stored here."
"As for why it has not been used, like the batch of Liao thirteen rifles they seized from the Shenyang Arsenal, it cooperated with the puppet Manchukuo army or used to win over the traitors in the Mongolian region. The reason is unknown. Light weapons, the Japanese army rarely use imported equipment today. Why do they store these weapons and ammunition here? I don't understand the reason."
"In addition to arms, there are also a large number of grain, medicine, military uniforms, communication equipment, etc. According to our current military strength, this part of the materials is enough for us to use for two years. There are also 120 brand-new Japanese military trucks that can run as long as there are drivers and oil. In addition, there are some military equipment seized by the Japanese army from Taiyuan, and some semi-finished arms products, including bullets, smokeless launching medicine, grenade bullets, and mortar fuses."
Hearing Yang Zhen’s report, the commander-in-chief was also very confused: “The reason why the Japanese army store equipment here is, can we think of why they still have to store military equipment and some semi-finished products here? If the Japanese army really advances north, or the Soviet Red Army attacks, what are the uses of these semi-finished products?”
The commander-in-chief is the commander-in-chief, and his vision is indeed much longer. What is the reason why the Japanese army reserved such a huge amount of arms and weapons and ammunition near Jiamusi? He had guessed the true intention of the Japanese army's move just after listening to Yang Zhen's report.
Regarding the question of the commander-in-chief, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "The reason is very simple. Now the war is not the era of relying solely on rifles and cannons, but it has entered the era of three-dimensional combat. The Soviet army is not a poor and weak-equipped national army, aircraft, cannons, and bombers whose ranges can cover most of the Northeast railway network can easily destroy the Japanese supply lines."
"Although the Japanese army's equipment far exceeds China, in front of the great powers such as the United States and the Soviet Union, the army is very backward in terms of equipment and supply means in addition to the navy. Its supply, especially strategic supply, is highly dependent on railways."
"Once the war between Japan and the Soviet Union begins, the Soviet army will bomb and destroy the Northeast railway line. The frontier troops of the Japanese army will be hungry all over. Therefore, it is normal for the Japanese army to leave some military equipment here. At least in a short time, the basic ammunition required by the front troops, especially the large-scale light weapons and ammunition."
