The twelfth dinner
It is actually not difficult to deal with the 29th Army. The 29th Army was also an anti-Japanese team in history. Although they did a lot of mistakes at the beginning, they are worthy of the people. Now what they lack most is arms. There are some of this things themselves. As long as they use this to open the way, I believe they will give up Director Ma.
"Don't worry, Brother Hu, I'm not a waste of time in the capital these days. Of course I can do some activities, but my brother is basically not very familiar with the top leaders of the 29th Army. It's not easy to get in. I hope Brother Hu can recommend me a few." The Northwest Army and the Central Army basically have no contact, which is a sure thing.
Hu Lian also looked embarrassed. He came out of the Whampoa Military Academy and accepted that he did not contact those miscellaneous soldiers. He believed that those people had poor combat effectiveness and were behind their weapons, so he really didn't think much about them.
"Speaking of this, I am not familiar with the people from the 29th Army. However, when I was in Jiankang last year, I met Brigade Commander Zhao Dengyu. I just didn't know if they were willing to sell me this favor. Of course, because of your business, I will try tomorrow." Hu Lian said while eating, and he did not see the serious expression of Mao Yuanshan beside him.
General Zhao Dengyu was not an ordinary person. He was a real combat hero. In early 1933, the Japanese invading army invaded Rehe Province and captured the provincial capital, and began to launch a large-scale attack on the Great Wall. In order to eliminate the enemy, Zhao Dengyu used the enemy's guards to neglect the enemy's side and back from both wings to carry out a plagiarism attack, which caught the enemy off guard and many casualties. After fighting fiercely for several days, the enemy failed to attack many times, and his spirit was defeated. The Chinese army won the battle of Xifengkou. The battle of Xifengkou annihilated 50,000 Japanese troops, and severely hit the enemy's arrogance.
After the outbreak of the full-scale war of resistance, in late July, tens of thousands of Japanese troops, under the cover of aircraft and tanks, launched large-scale attacks on the capital, Tianjin and adjacent strategic areas respectively. The Japanese dispatched more than 40 aircraft to bomb the positions in turn, and 3,000 mechanized troops launched fierce attacks from the ground. Zhao Dengyu, who served as the commander of the 132nd Division, led his troops to fight against the Japanese invasion and guard the southern part of the capital. The Japanese army cut the Chinese army into several segments and divided the encirclement. The troops fought alone, and suffered heavy losses under the bombing of enemy artillery fire and planes. Zhao Dengyu led his troops to stand firm in the position and fight to the death. On July 28, 1937, on his way to retreat to the capital, he was ambushed by the Japanese army at Dahongmen, Fengtai District, and died heroically. He was only 39 years old when he died.
Mao Yuanshan admired this general from the bottom of his heart, so he had the seriousness that was rare just now.
"Don't worry, brother Hu, I can naturally have something to curry favor with them. Come, let's have a drink." Mao Yuanshan put Hu Lianman in. There were still many Mauser rifles and pistols in the warehouse, which could also make him talk to this anti-Japanese hero. It is said that the 29th Army could not even have a gun in hand, and these things were definitely a timely help.
Hu Lian and the members of the Military and Political Department of the Jiankang Government attended the welcome dinner held by the 29th Army that night. Although the 29th Army had no money, the money was still available.
As for the Jiankang government, the people of the 29th Army both hated and dared not offend them. Their own wallet was still in their hands. After the defeat of the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army could be said to have lost its status. Even General Feng Yuxiang served as the vice chairman of the Military Commission without real power in the Central Committee, let alone the errands below.
This time, there were no important positions among the people who came to Jiankang government, so the specifications of this reception were not very high. The leading figures of the 29th Army just came over and met and left. The rest was left to General Zhao Dengyu.
Even so, it can be seen that the 29th Army attaches great importance to this welcome meeting. Among the people who came from the Jiankang government, Hu Lian has the highest official position, but he is just a colonel. Zhao Dengyu is a major general brigade commander. In the National Government, such an unequal reception is here.
In theory, Mao Yuanshan is absolutely not qualified to attend such a reception, even if he is Chairman Jiang’s nephew.
However, after the 29th Army's service chief accepted 200 oceans, he came in so swaggeringly.
"I'll introduce you to everyone. This is the founder of the China-Japan conflict a few days ago. Captain Mao, our national hero. Hu Lian spared no effort in promoting Mao Yuanshan. Now Hu Lian basically knows that as long as he bids out the Mao Yuanshan brand, even if he completes the task assigned to him by the Party and the State, he can insert his own nails in North China. Although it is a bit bad to say it out at this time, the entire Party and the State are now in such a trend, and he has to do it. However, this nail is anti-Japanese, and doing so can be regarded as helping the entire country.
"Captain Mao, it turns out that I thought you must be a big man, but I didn't expect to be a handsome young man. I really don't say that, Lao Zhao, I agree with what you did. The Japanese have made a lot of trouble in the city recently. If we hadn't let us withdraw from the capital city because of the bullshit He Mei agreement, we might have done it with them. Now the brothers of our third regiment are envious of Captain Mao's affairs. We also want to fight the Japanese to avenge the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War." The person who spoke was Zhao Lusheng, the commander of the 37th Division of the 29th Army. When the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War was still a company commander, he was now the regiment commander. Only he knew how he became the regiment commander. That was because all his commanders died in the Great Wall Anti-Japanese War.
"What did Captain Zhao say? That's really admirable for your 29th Army fighting the Japanese devils at Xifengkou. Captain Zhao also came over from the dead, and I admired them very much." These words are definitely not compliments. Mao Yuanshan admired these real anti-Japanese heroes from the bottom of his heart.
"When it comes to things back then, I, Lao Zhao, really feel uncomfortable. Captain Mao didn't know how difficult it was at that time. Some soldiers were holding a big blade in their hands, and there were no decent weapons at all. Those Japanese devils could be said to be armed to the teeth. They all said that our 29th Army Big Sword Team was invincible, but if we had enough weapons at that time, who would have used cold weapons to fight the Japanese devils? At that time, we had to pay at least six people to kill a Japanese devil. Those were six men." Speaking of this, the corners of Captain Zhao's eyes were a little wet, and even the people from the Jiankang government came over were a little moved. Although they belonged to two opposing factions in China, they all had hatred in their hearts when dealing with the Japanese devils.
"Okay, Lao Zhao, don't talk about what happened back then. Now our lives are much better than that time. At least our soldiers have a gun in their hands. Several commanders from the Ministry of Military Affairs have also arrived. I think our military pay will be paid in a few days. The military throne wants to buy a few light machine guns for your Third Regiment. By the time, your strength will increase a lot." General Zhao Dengyu saw the atmosphere here a little awkward, so he quickly pulled the topic away, and by the way, he also saw what the people of the Jiankang government meant to military pay.
Although Commander Zhao looked like a rude man, he soon realized what their brigade commander meant. He was asking several commanders of the Republic of China government for military pay. When the Northwest Army surrendered, it was very nice to say that the Central Army's Northwest Army treated everyone equally. Now, let alone treat everyone equally, they don't even have half of the treatment.
"It's hard to say about this issue. After all, I'm just a small director. Such major party and country affairs are not something that people like me can know. However, as far as I know, a truck of grain from the south has been transported. As for the arms, I will definitely give you some. Recently, Japan has been doing very frequently in North China, and the above is also very worried about this issue." After Hu Lian said these few words, he basically stopped talking. In fact, if he had encountered such a problem based on his previous temper, he would definitely not say a word. However, today he asked the people from the 29th Army to do some things, and he had to disclose some information to others.
"The thing the old men of the Central Army like to do the most is to watch from the back. This is also what they are best at. The bayonet battle with the Japanese in the front is to us in the northwest. But even so, we have to eat enough. We have not paid military salaries for two months." General Zhao said angrily. He was also a very cunning person, but today I saw that the people from the Republic of China government refused like this. When it was time to get angry, you were still thinking about internal strife. How could this country hold on?
"General Zhao calms down. Such a thing is really not something that a little colonel like me can decide. The party and the country are in a critical situation now. I hope everyone can work together to overcome the difficulties. The principal is not having a good time now, and there are too many things to worry about." Seeing that this matter is about to end, if it really ends like this, the matter of Mao Yuanshan's desire to be the police chief will basically be out of the blue.
"My lords, Chief Hu is not from the Ministry of Finance. I believe he really doesn't know about the military pay. Based on my understanding, Chief Hu is an enthusiastic person. If he really knows this, he will never say it. I have a good thing here, which is about importing arms. I don't know if you are interested." Mao Yuanshan's words immediately pulled everyone's attention to him.
Hu Lian also looked at the boy with a little surprise, but he told him nothing to hide this secret.
What does foreign imports of weapons mean? What China lacks the most now is weapons. No matter where there is a gun, it can support the sky. Especially in North China, it is now in chaos. Without a strong guarantee, no one can protect their own interests. In the past, most of China's weapons were imported from Germany, but because of the tense situation in Asia, Germany had already interrupted its weapons exports to China.
Think about the information obtained, this kid's security team has Mauser pistols with Mauser rifles, and some people have two Mauser pistols, and the bullets are even more desperate. If there is no strong import channel, how could he get so many weapons?
"Captain Mao, can you really get weapons? What's wrong with it?" Some other military tycoons were not easy to speak because Mao Yuanshan's identity was a security captain. If a general talked about arms deals with a security captain, it would be a bit uneasy to his face when it was heard, but Captain Zhao had no such concern.
Commander Zhao's third regiment is a newly formed unit. It can be said that it has the worst equipment among the 29th Army. The equipment of the 29th Army was not very good, but his troops were just a little different. Not to mention that everyone had a gun, even the big swords were not fully equipped. The 29th Army also specially took out some funds to purchase weapons, but now you have no place to buy money. The entire 3rd regiment's armed plan has been paused for two months.
