Chapter 1083 Win-win cooperation!

When the sun rose the next day, everything in the military camp was as usual. After a brief speech by "Xie Jinyuan", he began to raise the military flag.

As a senior intelligence officer in the Japanese intelligence department in China, Yuta Watanabe has been working in the concession for more than two months and is used to taking out a telescope from the window of the house he rented at 7:10 to observe the situation of the Chinese military camp 350 meters away.

This situation has happened 60 times in the past 60 days. Although he does not understand the futile practices of the ragged soldiers, as a soldier, he still admires these soldiers very much.

I heard that they have been doing this for more than 270 days. Not everyone can maintain the unique probability of soldiers in a "prison". But the group of Chinese soldiers who are extremely despised by the Japanese Navy and Army have done it.

The military flag raising this morning was still the same. No matter how unintentional Yuta Watanabe was, the process he repeated 60 times still formed a deep impression in his mind.

The process of the flag-raising ceremony today has not changed, but the senior Japanese intelligence officer always feels something strange, but after watching it for a long time with a telescope, he can't see any clues.

After all, although the 4x high-power telescope makes his sight long enough, it is not enough for him to see the human facial expressions from a distance of 350 meters.

Perhaps, I dreamed of the rice ball made by my mother in my hometown yesterday! It caused him to wake up in the middle of the night, interrupting his sleep for a long time, and getting up very early, which led to a trance. Yuta Watanabe found an acceptable reason for himself, and quietly observed the military camp where there was nothing obvious abnormality, and then washed up.

After all, as a senior intelligence officer, his work in the concession is not just about observing this lonely army that has been imprisoned by the Western Concession. Westerners should be very aware of the gap between the Great Japanese Empire and the soon-to-be defeated China.

This is the most typical idea of ​​the Japanese, who think that they have worked hard to learn and catch up with Western countries, and those developed Western countries should recognize Japan enough.

But unfortunately, that's just that they thought that those white people really never thought so. Not to mention yellow skin, even in the future, the Ross, who also have white skin, would not be able to kneel down, and they would not be recognized by mainstream Western countries.

So, the senior Japanese intelligence officer who felt a little weird didn't know that just last night, under the joint efforts of two big men in the Western Concession, 260 recruited "new recruits" into the military camp and exchanged identities with the officers and soldiers of the 542nd Regiment.

The group of people who raised the military flag and sang military songs this morning are no longer the group of "old men" that Yuta Watanabe has watched 60 times. The military posture of the refugee recruits who have trained for only one week can really be compared with those elites in a hundred battles.

In other words, the concession understands that Japanese spies can only observe from a few hundred meters away at most. If they are asked to get closer to a distance of 100 meters, they may see loopholes.

Neither the Japanese nor the Chinese expected that the Chinese government's efforts to negotiate would be more effective than the tens of thousands of dollars given by Tang Dao and the owed two favors. The Western Concession used Tang Dao to steal people out by using Tang Dao to hide the truth.

According to Xie Jinyuan's own request, he took Yang Ruifu, the former major battalion commander, who had now been promoted to deputy commander of the lieutenant colonel, and several school-level civilian officers. Under the protection of a special operation team led by Yang Zongdao's confidant, he sat on an American freighter and entered the Yangtze River along the Huangpu River and headed straight to Jiujiang.

Let me talk about it here that although the Huangpu River and the Yangtze River estuary were firmly controlled by the Japanese army, the right of passage of Western countries has not been lost, and they can even continue to trade with China inland, as long as it is not a transport of arms, and as long as the national flags of various countries are hung, the warships and patrol boats that Japan patrol on the river will at most undergo routine inspections. If it is to board the ship for inspection, there will be a command of extremely high-level issuance of military orders, otherwise it will cause passiveness at the diplomatic level.

At this time, Japan had not yet grown to the point where it dared to challenge the Western powers that had already entered the industrial revolution. The reason why it dared to attack Southeast Asia and even stabbed the American cowboys in the butt in the future was a helpless move that was almost driven crazy by the shortage of energy. In addition, the German Empire's rapid advancement in the European battlefield also gave them the illusion that I could do it if I did it.

The root of all this is that "China has no oil". It has occupied millions of rich land and has everything, but it cannot explore oil. The Japanese who have no such thing on the island are very distressed.

In addition, more than 270 officers and soldiers of the 542nd Regiment headed by Guan Yun were willing to follow Tang Dao to fight against the war after soliciting their opinions.

This is not to say that Tang Dao has a strong personality, but that the officers and soldiers who were detained have been furious in the past nine months.

At that time, a military order was issued on the battlefield, asking them to go to the last position in Songhu for defense operations. As Chinese soldiers, guarding the country and defending the people, even if it was a dead land, it was natural.

But in the end, they received military orders and asked them to evacuate. As soldiers, they took obeying military orders as their duty. Even if they were unwilling to do so, they could only obey orders.

But they were humans, not puppets, and they followed military orders to the concession, but were detained for no reason. If it weren't for Tang Dao coming to rescue him, maybe they wouldn't know how many years would be.

What about the person who issued military orders to them? He never saw him again.

It can be said that a few months ago, these iron-blooded troops had already been extremely disappointed with the principal and their former commander, and many of them had the idea of ​​releasing their armor and returning to the field.

But when Tang Dao, the old comrade-in-arms, appeared in front of them from the sky and expressed his desire to take them away, the blood that was about to stagnate surged again.

They are the glorious 542nd Regiment and the defenders of the last position in the Battle of Shanghai. The blood and life of their brothers are poured on this land. Can't they, the living, do anything for those dead brothers?

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just so happen, without military uniforms and ranks, people like them who have no identities don’t have to worry anymore. They follow Tang Dao to North China and kill the enemy with a new identity.

It is really not easy to digest when three major-level officers and five lieutenant-level officers are replaced by other infantry regiments, but it is simply too simple for the four-line regiment with more than 8,000 soldiers.

Tang Dao even had the idea of ​​forming the Fourth Infantry Battalion, so he used more than 270 people from the 542nd Regiment as the backbone to reorganize an infantry battalion. His old boss Shangguan Yun was the best candidate for battalion commander.

Even the rest of the recruits who were added were not all selected by the people, at least 500 were prisoners of war who were exchanged with the Japanese this time.

Tang Dao specifically greeted the brigade commander Geng. This time, the 17th Division asked for 4,000 prisoners of war, of which 1,000 were finally supplemented by the Four Army Regiments.

After all, the 17th Division has only more than 7,000 personnel in full capacity. It is the limit to supplement 3,000 prisoners of war. If you eat more prisoners of war, the proportion of prisoners of war is too large. In the short term, management will definitely be a headache for all commanders.

Commander Zhao and Brigade Commander Geng were both well aware of this principle, so he only thought of 3,000 people at the beginning. After Tang Dao said this, he naturally followed suit and returned Tang Dao with a favor.

During that negotiation with the Japanese, Tang Dao made a fortune for their 17th Division. The 4,000 prisoners of war were basically from the 39th Brigade of the 29th Division, not to mention the four fully equipped infantry regiments, and the 17th Division demanded a whole infantry regiment equipment and an additional 2,000 rifles.

This is almost equivalent to the 17th teacher and student who have added a full-packed infantry regiment and a light-mounted infantry regiment. As long as the ideological work of those prisoners of war and integrate it into the entire infantry division, the combat effectiveness can almost be comparable to the heyday of entering Niangzi Pass in early October last year.

In other words, the 17th Division, which had been completely damaged, was resurrected in just 10 months. You said that the brigade commanders of the 17th Division must not be grateful to Tang Dao!

No matter how beautiful it is, it depends on actual actions. Tang Dao is the kind of person who speaks very beautifully and has a more awesome actual actions.

Moreover, the 17th Division thought that the Tang troupe was so good at snatching people and weapons from the Japanese? That was wrong.

In less than a month, the equipment and ammunition of a German-Armed Division infantry regiment would also be given to them by Tang Dao.

That is the equipment of the German reorganized division that the Chinese army dreams of the most. The light machine guns are from infantry squads, mortars are from battalions, and heavy machine guns are from 6 battalions and 18 regiments.

I just asked, when did the 17th Division, which was born in the Northwest Army, have been so rich?

What's even more awesome is that although the German-Armed Division's ammunition is consumed heavily, the Tang regiment, which was divided into three German-Armed Division infantry regiments, promised that the 17th Division and the 80th Army would only need to pay the cost, and he was responsible for all ammunition supply.

Cost? That's the so-called lowest price! After so much ammunition is done, why can't I grab something from the Japanese?

Besides, if Tang Dao, a rich man, can't get the supplies and money for the time being, would it be possible to owe you an IOU first? Commander Zhao Shoushan of the 17th Division and the big bosses of the 80th Army are all old foxes who have been through the battlefield for a long time. They have different personalities, but their minds are all not effective.

Anyway, if you really can't pay it back one day, then take the initiative to go to Tangtuanzu to eat and drink, and then say, it's no good to ask for money! There is one head weighing a few pounds, why don't you use it to play?

Typically, I lay flat and put it on, and I stopped pretending!

In the future, Tang Tuanzu has encountered this situation many times. Although Tang Tuanzu is supported by the huge profits of selling penicillin from the United States and does not care about the small money at all, he has never been used to these big guys who are "laying flat and scattered".

You can't pay back the amount you owe, right? Okay, it doesn't matter. Those who know how to write poetry can pay the debt by hand. A poem with a low account of two thousand dollars, and you have to sign a big name and stamp it. It doesn't matter if you don't have a seal. Tang Tuanzu has already done it for you.

No, it doesn't matter if a rough man like Wang Xiaoqiang who is a stunner who is born in a bad guy. He came to have a meal, drink, drink, and take a photo with the officers and soldiers who have made military achievements in the Sixing Group, and wrote the photo "Give it to the heroic comrade XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

For the "evil taste" of Tang Tuanzu, the big guys who were destined to leave their names in the sky of Chinese history first expressed their disdain with righteous words, saying that they would pay back their debts if they broke the pot, but they would never be able to learn to exchange money for money.

But often the gap is broken from the inside. As Master Zhao, who is very good at writing poetry, used one night to write 20 poems in wholesale, and even began to use thick-skinned slandered poems from colleagues, and finally exempted from debt of up to 100,000 oceans, the tycoons of the Eighty Army wrote poetry wholesale, fearing that they would not have time to pirate the copy by someone.

The group of rough men led by Wang Xiaoqiang feels very OK when they can pay off their debts by eating and drinking but taking a photo. The only pain is that the word "was really hard to come up with" and it always feels a bit inconsistent when writing on the back of the photo.

But Tang Dao didn't mind at all and asked that he had to write by himself and refused to write for himself. This also led to the senior officers of the Eighty Army's craze for a long time to practice calligraphy, just because the words on the photos they sent were not so embarrassing.

The news finally reached a great scholar who was good at poetry. He asked someone to ask Tang Dao if he had a very interested character to ask how much his words could pay for the debt. Tang Dao directly offered a sky-high price to waive 20,000 yuan debt, which made the man laugh. It took a few days to make 10 pairs of Tang Dao in one breath, and each character was personally signed on the words, "I wish the front line of the Anti-Japanese War to make new contributions!"

But Tang Dao was so happy that he looked like he had taken advantage of it, which made the people who knew about the Sixing Group and the Eighty Group Army smiled.

In their opinion, this is just a move by Tang Dao to help friendly forces and save face for friendly forces. They all accept this love, but Tang Tuanzhang should not be so involved! It is like really needing these things that cannot be eaten or drunk.

In the war era, what is more important than supplies and money?

Then they were wrong, Tang Dao's joy came from the heart.

If you have 200,000 yuan, you can buy the big guy’s recognition in black and white. What’s that if you take advantage of a huge advantage?

Tang Dao's "good deed" lasted for several years, and countless masters had accumulated calligraphy and photos of the masters. Tang Dao sent them to officers of all sizes of the Four Lines Regiment, ordering them to carefully keep them.

One day in the future, these are the best evidence of the officers and soldiers of the Four Army Regiment working side by side with the Eighty Army and the Japanese invaders' hard-working war. No matter how the King of Heaven comes, he can't discredit it.

To put it bluntly, this is amulet. Tang Dao not only needs to protect himself, but also protect his comrades who have lived and died with him.

If you plan ahead decades ahead of time, there will probably be no one else except Tang Dao.

Of course, these are all later stories. With Yang Zongdao's participation, Tang Dao could not send Xie Jinyuan to Songhu, but he personally sent Shangguan Yun and others to the German freighter that went out from Songhu Port.

They will take the route from sea to Jincheng, and then go from Jincheng to Fengfeng Coal Mine in Handan in the name of Krupp foreign workers, and finally arrange it to the Taihang Mountains by Gong Shaoxun, who is already in charge there.

"Dear Tang, there are many defeated soldiers in the concession in your country. I wonder if you need them?" Mr. Rockefeller, the chairman of the Western Concession who personally accompanied Tang Dao to send people off, suddenly had a big idea.

What is the mind of a businessman? That's it.

Of course he knew what Tang Dao wanted. Tang Dao obviously wanted soldiers and sent them to the northern front line to fight against the Japanese.

And these are found in the concession!

The Battle of Songhu broke out in August last year. China and Japan invested millions of troops, not only to ruin the metropolis of Songhu, but there were 100,000 soldiers killed in battle. The Western Concession, located on the edge of the war, was under tremendous pressure.

The pressure does not come from the terrible naval guns above 200 caliber, nor from the bombs dropped by Chinese and Japanese fighter jets flying in the sky, but from a large number of Chinese refugees who escaped from the war and fled into the concession, and Chinese defeated troops who had to choose to hand over their weapons and enter the concession.

In just a few months, the population of the concession has increased by hundreds of thousands, and daily management is much more difficult than before.

Especially those defeated soldiers, for the sake of so-called humanitarianism, they could not give those people to the Japanese to massacre in front of them, so that the media could have news to write, but they could not let them go, so they could only stay in the concession, and public security incidents surged.

"Yes, as long as you have been a soldier, you can kill 10 US dollars per person, as much as I want." Tang Dao agreed without hesitation.

"Okay, in the words of you Chinese, a gentleman!" The current highest vocalist in the Western Concession smiled.

Those defeated soldiers in the concession will only cause trouble. Now they are sent out in the name of labor and can still be sold for money, killing two birds with one stone. Anyone on the board of directors will think that he is a genius after hearing this business.

"It's hard to chase after all!" Tang Dao held this person's hand and was also in a happy mood.

These defeated soldiers are all precious wealth. Although they are all broken up, after the test of the Battle of Shanghai, their battlefield survival experience is much stronger than the retrained recruits. After a period of time of training, their combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.

The price of $10 is really not too cheap.

What is win-win cooperation? That's it.

Maybe the only one who was betrayed was Japan, but is that important to Chinese and Westerners?

For Tang Dao, there is more than this thing to be happy.

Yang Zongdao, who reported to Shangfeng that he had finally successfully rescued Xie Jinyuan and others, was rewarded by Director Dai Da personally and promoted his rank to major general in one fell swoop, which means that his position in his system will be further improved.

The surprise promised by the major general of the Xinke Intelligence System was finally delivered. When the man personally took Tang Dao to a warehouse in the concession and opened the door, Tang Dao was almost blinded by the objects in front of him.

That is not a weapon, but its value is no less than that of an infantry regiment.

Because it is a high-quality and sophisticated equipment originally belonged to the Jiangnan Arsenal, and is native to the Martin furnace of Siemens, the German Empire. It is the only steelmaking furnace in China that can make gun barrel steel.

Before the retreat of Songhu, the equipment that had been purchased with a lot of money was not available for transportation, so it could only be transported into the concession, and finally fell into the hands of the Military Intelligence System in Songhu.

In peacetime, countless state-owned materials would be resold, not to mention in the era of war, as the highest person in charge of the Military Control Commission stationed in Songhu, as long as you slightly draw the information, this equipment worth hundreds of thousands will become a consumable product, and no one will care about its whereabouts.

But this equipment that can easily disappear is too important for Tang Dao, which is currently deploying military industry.

With this thing, it means that the Dakouzidong Arsenal has the ability to assemble mountain cannons, not only can it use high-quality steel to start the "107 Rocket Launch" test. The individual rocket launcher is not only on the drawings.

Moreover, there is no need to place all the hopes of manufacturing MG42 machine guns and imitating Soviet 12.7mm heavy machine guns on the ‘Laboratory No. 1’ in Handan.

No matter how you attract Dr. Grunov with high salary and so-called ideals, he is also a Germanic after all. The interests of the motherland are above everything else, and it does not only exist in Chinese with ideals, but also in many Westerners.

This high-quality and sophisticated equipment will help Dakouzidong Arsenal break many shackles from materials.

Yang Zongdao's gift really surprised and delighted Tang Dao.

Another successful win-win situation!
