Rebirth from the Ashes: Rebuilding the Red Soviet Area

Li Yan asked seriously, "Tong Liang! How's the situation over there?"

Tong Liang's face was filled with smiles, and he quickly responded, "Instructor!"

“We’ve made a fortune this time.”

Inside the Arsenal

"There are more than 3500 brand new Type 38 rifles in stock."

"In addition, there are 108 light machine guns and 120 grenade launchers."

36 heavy machine guns

"Not only that, there are actually 12 Type 92 infantry guns!"

"If these big guys were brought to the battlefield, they would definitely be a huge deterrent to the enemy."

"As for the various types of ammunition, the quantity is also quite astonishing, totaling a whopping 15 rounds, and a whopping 8000 artillery shells!"

"Such a huge amount of military supplies is enough to arm an elite division."

……

After Tong Liang reported all the data one by one like pouring beans from a bamboo tube,

Liu Zhen, who was standing aside, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and was secretly amazed in his heart.

He couldn't help but think that it was no wonder that during the July 7 Incident, the Japanese army only mobilized more than 6000 people to easily defeat the 29th Army stationed in the Pingjin area.

You know, if the 29th Army had advanced equipment of the same scale as the one in front of it, even if it was only one-third of it, the outcome would not have been as tragic as it is now. It was beaten almost without any ability to fight back and suffered heavy losses.

Liu Zhen stared at Li Yan closely. He kept his head down, concentrating on gazing at the map spread out on the table, as if the whole world was left with only that map and the strategic points marked on it.

Liu Zhen was secretly thinking about how to talk to Li Yan and ask him to hand over the weapons that had just been seized to his troops.

But after all, these weapons were captured by Li Yan and his men.

In addition, the weapons and equipment level of the GD army where Li Yan is located is not even as good as that of the troops he leads.

More importantly, the Northwest Army once participated in the encirclement and suppression of the ZG Red Army.

In this context, even though Liu Zhen usually thought he was thick-skinned enough, he found it difficult to ask Li Yan for this batch of weapons for his troops to use.

However, at this moment, Li Yan, who had been studying the map, suddenly realized something.

He slowly raised his head, and his eyes met Liu Zhen's eyes full of eager desire.

Just a moment

Li Yan saw through Liu Zhen's true thoughts deep in his heart

Li Yan thought about it

He smiled and said, "Brigade Commander Liu"

"Please notify the 27th Brigade to replace their weapons."

Liu Zhen was stunned

Then he said in disbelief: "Li, Li Zong...you are..."

"no no"

"You helped our Northwest Army during its most difficult time."

"As a Northwest Man"

“We Have Not Yet Repaid Your Great Kindness”

“We are asking for this batch of weapons at this time.”

“This…this is inappropriate.”

Li Yan smiled and said, "Brigade Commander Liu"

"According to the government's words"

"If war breaks out, it will be a war that will be fought without distinction, regardless of age or region. Everyone, regardless of age, will have the responsibility to defend the country and fight the war, and we will all be determined to sacrifice everything. Only by sacrificing ourselves to the end, by fighting the war to the end, and only with this determination to sacrifice, can we win final victory."

"You and I are both children of China"

"From the moment your elder brother decided to resist Japan"

“We are like-minded comrades.”

"Since we are gay"

"If you keep being so polite, you'll become distant."

"Aren't you really fighting against the Japanese?"

"Besides"

"You are equipped with these weapons to better resist the Japanese."

Liu Zhen never thought that Li Yan could easily take away so many weapons.

Give it to yourself unconditionally

More than ten years in the army

Let's not talk about the Kuomintang army, where extravagance and corruption were rampant, and it was common for soldiers to be exploited and to receive empty salaries.

It is the Northwest Army which is stronger than the Kuomintang Army.

Don't say so many weapons are given away for free.

For power, money, and territory

It's good enough if we don't cheat or fight against each other

Thought of here

Liu Zhen's eyes were full of complexity

He saluted Li Yan solemnly

Then he turned and left the headquarters.

Tong Liang watched Liu Zhen leave

He whispered, "Instructor"

"You asked us to interrogate those Japanese"

"We got a message"

"Liu Ming had already signed a secret non-aggression agreement with the Japanese Kwantung Army before the Battle of Nankou."

“Now so many weapons are given to them”

"just in case......"

Li Yan waved his hand and said, "I already know about this matter."

"The reason why Liu Ming signed a secret non-aggression agreement with the Kwantung Army"

"The purpose is to keep the territory of Chahar with a lucky mentality."

"Now they know the Japanese conspiracy to attack from both north and south."

"Plus defeating Prince De and Liu Xin"

"Occupied Zhangbei"

“So now they have no way out.”

"If we can use their power to hold the Japanese back for a little longer."

“These weapons are worth it.”

“So don’t worry.”

In fact, Li Yan didn't finish speaking

Let's not talk about what kind of people Liu Ming and Liu Zhen are.

But from the perspective of fighting against the Japanese invaders

These two people are absolutely impeccable in terms of national justice.

Moreover, both brothers graduated from the general officer class of the Army University. They both started as soldiers and experienced countless baptisms of battle with real guns and live ammunition. They climbed step by step to their current high positions by accumulating outstanding military exploits.

They are not only good at fighting and have outstanding military talents, but also can be said to be both civil and military;

Especially Liu Ming, who is known as one of the Five Tigers of the Northwest.

After being incorporated into the Nationalist government, he even personally formed a special operations brigade similar to special forces.

Faced with such powerful military capabilities, Li Yan still has the idea of ​​conquering them.

Tong Liang nodded thoughtfully, and then, as if suddenly recalling something important, he said, "Oh, I almost forgot!"

"While we were interrogating those Japanese"

"Except Tanaka"

"We even captured the pseudo-Mongol military advisor Muratani and financial advisor Inaji."

"Especially that financial advisor Inaji."

"He revealed a crucial piece of information to us."

"Those Japanese, in order to fully support the King of De to establish the so-called pseudo-Mongolian army"

“He actually gave away a batch of gold.”

"Plus the preparations made by Prince De and his men themselves"

“It’s probably worth millions of dollars.”

"It's a pity that the battle at Bailing Temple failed so quickly."

"So much so that they didn't even have time to take away this large amount of gold."

"I had no choice but to bury it secretly on the spot."

Hearing this, Li Yan, who had been sitting quietly, suddenly trembled in his heart.

He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain.

War requires money to support

I, including Yan'an, was too poor.

Especially the military industrial base that I want to build

If you have this wealth

The military industrial base will have a qualitative leap

Thought of here

Li Yan instantly jumped up from his chair as if he had been electrocuted, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement and agitation. He couldn't wait to ask loudly, "Where on earth is all this gold hidden?"

"Sunite Right Banner"
