"There's no need to hide in the bomb shelter, we'll just stand here."
Liang Xiao has seen the terrain of the 66th Army's headquarters. This is a blind spot. The Japanese plane overlooks the sky, and it is impossible to see what kind of building is below. Therefore, it is safe here.
Didi Didi...In a short while, air defense alarms were raised everywhere in Hangzhou City, and a large number of citizens came out of their homes and rushed to the air-raid shelters.
The streets were full of women, children, old and young, and soldiers of the Loyal National Salvation Army who maintained law and order in the city helped the people to escape to the air-raid shelters.
Yu Likui, the commander-in-chief of the Loyalty and National Salvation Army, came to the headquarters of the 66th Army and hurriedly persuaded him: "Sir, it's too dangerous to stay here, I will take you to the air-raid shelter for a while..."
"You are the commander of the Hangzhou garrison now. The Japanese army is coming to make a surprise attack. As the garrison commander, you must put the people of Hangzhou first, and order the engineering battalion and medical team to prepare to save lives..."
Liang Xiao hadn't finished speaking when he heard a humming sound.
"Boss, it's too late if you don't leave."
Yu Likui shouted anxiously.
"It's too late."
Liang Xiao looked up at the sky, and saw dozens of small black spots rushing from far to near.
"Boss, let's go inside for a while..."
Yu Likui shouted.
"Walk."
Liang Xiao will not die in vain, he still has an ambition that has not been realized.
Go to the military building.
A staff officer took Liang Xiao to the basement to hide.
Liang Xiao didn't refuse, he took Chen Hua and the confidential personnel to the basement for temporary shelter.
Thirty bombers headed towards the ancient city of Hangzhou...a savage bombing, the shells rained, and the sound of the artillery rumbled like an earthquake shaking the mountains.
Residential houses were reduced to ruins under the destruction of shells.
Fortunately, the air defense alarm was raised in time and did not cause too many casualties. However, some civilians did not evacuate into the air-raid shelter in time, and were bombarded by Japanese machine gunfire. common people.
Liang Xiao, who was hiding in the basement, had a very bad expression on his face. As the commander of the Nanjing Garrison and the commander-in-chief of the Third Army, how could he not know what was going on outside.
It's just that he has enough energy to spare, and the national power is weak, and he can't turn the world around with his own strength.
About two hours later, the Japanese plane left the sky above Hangzhou after dropping all the shells.
Liang Xiao came out from the basement, looked outside, his brows were furrowed immediately, it was a house of green bricks and rubble before, but after just over two hours, it turned into piles of ruins smoking green smoke.
"Boss, I have ordered the third detachment to go to the streets to help rescue the wounded. This time the Japanese planes bombed desperately, and the shells hit the ground like hail. Fortunately, we raised the air defense alarm in advance, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Yu Likui said.
"As the commander of the Hangzhou Garrison, we must do a good job in the resettlement of the people. All the people killed in this air raid will be buried at the expense of the local government. All the injured people will be treated free of charge. If the houses were burned in large areas, The engineer battalion unconditionally helped to build the house, and tried its best to reduce the loss of the people.”
Liang Xiao said.
"I've made a note of the humble job, and I will arrange it later."
Yu Likui said.
"Having your Loyalty and National Salvation Army stationed in Hangzhou this time is an affirmation of the strength of your Loyalty and National Salvation Army. During the garrison in Hangzhou, you must cooperate with the Anti-Japanese War Association to do a good job in propaganda work, and actively instill in the people the idea that you will perish if you don't fight, so that they deeply understand I realized that only the war of resistance has a way out.”
Liang Xiao said.
"Humble job understands."
Yu Likui said.
"Hangzhou has a special geographical location, with a coast defense line of hundreds of kilometers. We must be prepared for maritime monitoring. Once the enemy's gunboats approach the shore, we will immediately report the exact coordinates to the Wusongkou Fort. We cannot compete with the enemy in the sea. But we can fight on land so they can't go ashore."
Liang Xiao said.
"The humble official has ordered to build a watchtower every three kilometers of the coastline, and if the Japanese gunboats come and go, they will light up the beacon to report."
Yu Likui said.
"That would be a way."
Liang Xiao smiled lightly and said: "The 66th Army is stationed at Wusongkou and Shizilin, the special warfare division in Hangzhou Bay area, and the former enemy command post has also moved to Wusongkou. Next, our battle with the Japanese army will enter a stalemate. Hangzhou, as the The support behind Wusongkou, no matter...
Whether it's ammunition transportation or logistical supplies, you, the garrison commander, must pay attention to it, and you must not let the front troops lack food and ammunition."
"President, don't worry, as long as the humble job is still alive, the frontline troops will never be short of food and clothing."
Yu Likui promised.
Chapter 213 Military Industry and Pharmaceutical Factory
On the day of the Japanese bombing, Liang Xiao left Hangzhou and returned to Nanjing in a bulletproof car.
After the Wusongkou and Shizilin victories this time, the situation of the national army has improved a little bit. At least if the Japanese army wants to directly attack Hangzhou and Nanjing, at least... they have to cross Wusongkou and The two fortresses of Shizilin are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and both of them have deployed heavy artillery troops. If the Japanese army wants to attack by force, they will not be able to attack without a few times the force.
At the Garrison Headquarters, after Liang Xiao came back, he immediately sent guards to send Zhao Xin from the Anti-Japanese War.
As the person in charge of the Anti-Japanese War, she actually has a lot of power, even more powerful than the director of the Military Control Bureau. Moreover, Zhao Xin is also in charge of the sales profits of Yunnan Baiyao, so it can be said that she has a lot of power.
Zhao Xin put on the colonel's military uniform, sat straight and skillfully into the office, and saluted: "General."
"sit."
Liang Xiao poured her a glass of water, and said straight to the point: "I came here because I have something for you to do.
"General please order."
Zhao Xin said.
"It's like this. The chairman promised to set up a recruiting office for the third group army. Now the battle is imminent. Although the strength of each unit is at full capacity, when the war comes, I don't know how many soldiers will be buried on the battlefield. In order to maintain the combat effectiveness of the troops, we will You set up a recruiting office to recruit soldiers in our jurisdiction, and the recruits are handed over to the veterans of the special warfare division for training. Once our troops suffer heavy casualties, we need a steady stream of recruits to supplement the troops.”
"After thinking about it, only you are the most suitable for this task. The Anti-Japanese War Association under your control has a large number of elites from all walks of life. With their help, our recruitment work can develop smoothly."
Liang Xiao looked at Zhao Xin's delicate face and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, general, this matter will be done as soon as I return from my humble post.
Make arrangements to ensure that enough recruits are recruited."
Zhao Xin still has some confidence.
"The work of recruiting soldiers is just one of them. There is another more important thing. It is the season of warm spring and the best time to sow seeds. Because of the war, five out of ten households from the place where their original household registration was located have left. The common people, their land can’t just be barren like this, you will work with the local government to make a detailed statistics, all the common people who fled from their place of residence, their land will be temporarily requisitioned by the government, and the requisitioned land will be contracted to those who have no land to cultivate For the common people, the government provides food seeds, and the common people are responsible for sowing the autumn harvest, and the government collects [-]% of the grain produced.”
Liang Xiao said.
Zhao Xin glanced at Liang Xiao, a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "This matter falls within the scope of the government's accusations. Our military hastily intervened in the government affairs of the jurisdiction, and we are afraid of causing criticism."
Liang Xiao waved his hand, and said indifferently: Discussions are criticisms. Now that the battle is at the gate of the house, how can you care so much? Besides, government officials from various places appointed by the government can run faster than rabbits when they hear the cannons. They do something for the War of Resistance, which is more difficult than going to heaven, so we can simply do it ourselves, if any local officials do not cooperate with them, let the local military command department come forward to mediate, and if they do not obey orders, they will be charged with the crime of negligence and negligence.”
He has a rather strong personality, and his eyes don't tolerate sand. He has been dissatisfied with the actions of government officials from all over the world since he took office as the commander of the garrison for so long. ..The strategy of those who can go up and those who are mediocre will reshuffle the officialdom in the Jiangnan area.
Anyway... the Jiangnan area is a war zone, even if the high-level officials of the government are dissatisfied with his actions, they can only turn a blind eye and close their eyes. After all, in this war era, with a gun is... the grass head king.
"Yes."
Zhao Xin said softly: "This matter will be discussed with my subordinates as soon as possible, and I will try to come up with a plan as soon as possible. Please review it."
"This matter must be done as soon as possible. If our garrison troops and the No.16 army are to gain a foothold in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions for a long time, they must have enough food, sufficient sources of soldiers, and the support of the people everywhere. This is the basic rule of survival. Secondly, The Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions are rich in mineral deposits, you should order people to mine these...... mineral deposits as soon as possible, and all the minerals you get will be handed over to the arsenal to support them in producing weapons and explosives."
Liang Xiao said slowly.
"The benefit of the arsenal is very good. Last month, a batch of imitation German 98 semi-automatic rifles were manufactured. Compared with the German 98 rifles, its performance is... the shooting distance is 50 meters less, and its power and shooting speed are comparable to the German 98. Almost the same."
Zhao Xin smiled lightly.
"How much stock does the arsenal have now?"
Liang Xiao asked.
"There are more than 4000 rifles, more than 300 light machine guns, and [-] homemade grenades."
Zhao Xin said.
Liang Xiaojian frowned slightly, and said: "This stock is only enough to equip one brigade, and our two new armies are still holding regular rifles, and there will be a battle soon. The equipment of the newly formed two armies must be replaced."
"General, the arsenal is mainly short of raw materials. As long as our raw materials are supplied, the arsenal can produce five thousand imitation German 98 rifles every month."
Chen Huadao.
Liang Xiao said in a deep voice: "In the heyday of Fengtian Arsenal, only two battalions of guns were produced every month. Could it be that our Arsenal is more powerful than Fengtian Arsenal?"
"As you may not know, the Dayushan Arsenal has undergone several expansions, and its production speed and production level are no worse than those of the original Fengtian Arsenal. Moreover, the technicians in our Armory come from all over the world. There are old people from Fengtian Arsenal, some The technicians who came back from abroad include the senior foreign technicians we hired, as well as experts in other military equipment. When these technicians get together, they can even manufacture trucks, but...there is a lack of raw materials."
When Chen Hua mentioned the arsenal, his exquisite face was filled with a proud smile.
"We can find a way to get the raw materials, buy what we can't get, grab it if we can't buy it, no matter what, we will give him what the arsenal needs."
Liang Xiao is also determined to support the development of the arsenal. After all, spending money to buy foreign firearms is not an option.
"Yes, I will make arrangements for this matter and do my best to support the development of the arsenal."
Chen Huadao.
"We must not only support the development of the arsenal, but also the development of the pharmaceutical factory. Yunnan Baiyao is the main source of our funds. It must be mass-produced. Now there are wars everywhere. Yunnan Baiyao has a price but no market. Take advantage of this opportunity , we want to make some good money."
Liang Xiao said.
"Yes, at present we only sell to shops. Next, I want to do business with armies from all over the world. Just a while ago, the generals of the Sichuan Army and the Hunan Army wanted to get in touch with our pharmaceutical factory through local drug dealers, and directly wholesale Yunnan from us. Baiyao, without your consent, I dare not agree to them."
Chen Huadao.
Chapter 214 Beauty Loves Heroes
Liang Xiao thought for a while, and said: "This is a good opportunity. At present, the whole country is at war, except... the Mengjiang area is still peaceful, and there are wars of all sizes in other places, except... ....In addition to the Central Army, there are Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Northwest Army, Northeast Army, Majia Army, etc..., large and small local armies are invincible... There are many. The government adopts a policy of suppressing and crowding out the local army. In terms of supplies, a reorganized army of the local army can't meet the supply of a reorganized division of the central army. If there is no infection medicine to treat gunshot wounds, we can only buy it on the market, so it is reasonable to find us."
"General, you agree"
Zhao Xin's expression was slightly happy, and a rippling appeared in her autumn eyes.
"This is a good thing, there is no reason to disagree, and next, our drug prices will increase by 20.00%%%. In the domestic market, we have defeated special drugs such as sulfonamides. The next step is...to raise prices, completely Monopolize the domestic specialty drug market, and wait until next year, our Yunnan Baiyao will go abroad and open up sales abroad.”
Liang Xiao knew in his heart that it would be only one or two years before the start of World War II. At that time, most countries in the world would be at war, especially in the Southeast Asian battlefield. The scale of the war was huge, and countless soldiers fell on the battlefield every day. Yunnan Baiyao was exported: After that , will definitely be respected by all countries at war.
"What you said is also what I think. At present, in China, Yunnan Baiyao is undoubtedly the leading enterprise in terms of special effects drugs, but we only occupy the civilian market, and the special effects drugs used by the government are still sulfonamides. If we can and If the government cooperates and occupies the entire military market, our profit will be multiplied several times, but the procurement department of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the government has no intention of cooperating with us yet."
Zhao Xin said.
"Don't worry about this for the time being. Talk to the local army first. After the price is negotiated, Yunnan Baiyao will be used in various local military hospitals. The government will definitely send people to discuss it. At that time, you can reveal a little bit about the military background. You can't let: the gang from the government Robbers are both soft and hard."
Liang Xiao still knew about the purchasing department of the Military and Political Department. For whatever they liked, the price was only [-]% of the market price, and the remaining [-]% went into their own pockets.
"Humble job understands."
Zhao Xin nodded slightly.
"You should pay more attention to the affairs of the arsenal and the pharmaceutical factory, and you should pay more attention to the affairs of the Anti-Japanese War Association."
Liang Xiao said with a smile, he found more and more that Zhao Xin is a good helper, she can help him a lot in dealing with things, at least since the establishment of the pharmaceutical factory and the arsenal, he didn't worry about it.
"Serving for a general is what a humble job should do."
Zhao Xin smiled lightly.
"Relax, there are no outsiders here, just the two of us, there is no need to say these...... high-sounding words."
Liang Xiao smiled slightly and asked, "How is uncle and aunt living in Chongqing?"
"With your care, my parents are very good at Zhongzhong, and I am very grateful to you. If you hadn't let them move to Chongqing, I am afraid that after Shanghai fell, they would have nowhere to go.
road.
"You are my right-hand man. I will help you take care of your family one or two...,..., it will make you worry about the future, and you can devote yourself to your work. Right now, people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang No.16 Concentrate a regular army, all walks of life are waiting to be done, and there are still many things that need you to do."
Liang Xiao said.
"As long as the general needs it, I will never resign from my humble post."
Zhao Xin said.
"It's fine if you die, I didn't let you go to the battlefield with a gun to beat the little devil."
Liang Xiao smiled humorously.
Poof.
Zhao Xin laughed softly and said: "Beizhi has something to report to you. Since the last time we recruited medical personnel, we have recruited 400 female medical soldiers again in Hangzhou and Nanjing. Most of them are in Some of the college students are aspiring young women from Jiangbei. They know that it is an extravagant hope to go to war, so they come from thousands of miles to become medical soldiers. They also want to contribute their modest efforts to the war of resistance. It's coming for you."
