Arms Merchant of the Republic of China

Chapter 373 Independent Group Debut!

Lao Jiang's actions were too unexpected for everyone. The Northern Expeditionary Army was still encircling and suppressing the Gui army in the south. They all thought that the current government of the Republic of China was not enough to support many wars, but they didn't expect that the insidious and cunning Lao Jiang unexpectedly surprised them and completely disrupted Du Haisheng, Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang's discussion before. At this time, the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army was already in a situation of jealousy and passivity.

The car came out of the southern city and ran all the way. When it came to Shanghai, it was getting dark. When they came to the barracks of the 18th Iron-blooded Army, Du Haisheng and Xue Yue didn't care about drinking half a sip of water and went straight into the combat command room.

"Msor - immediately inform them to hold a military meeting above the regiment and let them come quickly!"

Xue Yue did not raise his head. He went straight to the map hanging on the wall, holding a baton in his hand, pointing for a moment, and finally put it in a place and staring at it for a long time.

"Brother Du, what do you think of this matter?"

Xue Yue stared at the map for a long time, and finally turned his head to look at Du Haisheng, who was also solemn, and asked.

The last military pay problem was Du Haisheng's help to make a plan. This time, although Xue Yue did not dare to expect a miracle, he also hoped that Du Haisheng could give his own opinions for their reference. After all, the talents, means and tricks shown by Du Haisheng are Xue Yue's most valued and admired. Yes, and the other party's military talent also impressed him.

"It's hard to say the specific situation now. Let's take a look at the map first, adjutant!"

Du Haisheng said and shouted, and there was no doubt in his words, as if he were the supreme commander of the Eighteenth Iron-blooded Army.

"In..."

When the adjutant heard Du Haisheng call him, he looked confused. He looked at Xue Yue in front of him and saw him nodding and asking him to obey the other party's orders. The adjutant immediately responded.

"The specific location and troop deployment of the First, Third and Fifth Army, Independent Eighth and Thirteenth Divisions on the map should be detailed!"

There was no doubt in Du Haisheng's words. When the adjutant heard it, he took a step forward and marked it with a red pen on the map, while introducing: "The First Army of the Northern Expeditionary Army rushed back overnight after the end of the battle in Wuhan. Now it has been deployed on the front line of Zhenjiang, with about 75,000 troops. The third army is in Nanshi, Wu On the front line of the lake, this army is Lao Jiang's ace army. It is well-equipped and has been deployed in Nanshi. This time, in order to form a siege of my iron-blooded 18th army, it was pulled to Nanshi and Wuhu. The force is about 100,000. The Fifth Army is now resting in Hangzhou. Since its establishment, this force has been fighting in the south and the north. Jiang has one of the few victorious armies in his hands that rely on his own ability to make a reputation. The number of troops is unknown, and intelligence personnel are being collected. The independent Eighth Division has begun to advance rapidly from the front line of Ningbo and Zhoushan. Looking at the situation, it is to meet with the Fifth Army. However, according to my estimate, they will be in Tongxiang, Haining, Jiaxing and Ping. On the front line of the lake, if this is the case, even if you don't need to move an army, you will be trapped to death of the iron-blooded 18th Army in Shanghai!"

The adjutant will tell everything he knows. In an instant, the map is dense, all the places circled by red pens.

Du Haisheng stood in front of the map, looked at it for a long time, and finally stopped his eyes on the independent eighth and thirteenth division of Ningbo and Zhoushan, with a burst of brilliance in his eyes.

"Aide-in-lieutenant, where is the eighth and thirteenth division now?"

"The Independent Eighth Division has arrived in Shaoxing, and the Independent Thirteenth Division has now also arrived in Shangyu, here..."

The adjutant said, marked the names of these two places on the map and said, "They are very close to Hangzhou. Now our situation is very passive. There are only 110,000 people in the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army. If we want to fight against more than 400,000 Northern Expeditionary Army, I'm afraid that this battle is not very easy to fight. Moreover, our Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army is now divided. Disperse..."

"Okay, I know all about it!"

Du Haisheng waved his hand and said, "Brother Xue Yue, this battle is not easy to fight, and it is not easy to fight. The key is to see how we should fight!"

"Uh... Brother Du, come and listen!"

Xue Yue saw Du Haisheng's mysterious expression, but he couldn't help but be overjoyed as if he had seen a guiding light in the dark.

"Well, let's not talk about this now. At that time, I will have my own way to make Lao Jiang overwhelmed and automatically withdraw!"

Du Haisheng said confidently and said, " By the way, have Wu Peifu and Tang Shengzhi's negotiators left now?"

"Not yet, they have had a very hard time recently, but..."

"Brother Xue, please arrange for us to meet the two of them together today. We still need their help in this matter!"

Du Haisheng nodded, looked at the map, and finally withdrew his eyes with a cold smile on his face. The current situation has been quite passive to them. Du Haisheng also knows that if he is careless, in case of taking a wrong step, it will make the whole Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army fall into an eternal situation. He must be careful. Be careful, step by step, and count the worst and unpredictable things in it.

On the impermanent side, Jiang Zhongzheng played a general's chess move with the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, so he had to lose his car to protect the commander. Since he chose to support Xue Yue and Sun Chuanfang, he had to go all the way to the end with them. Even if he was dead, he would never abandon these brothers. Moreover, Du Haisheng admitted that the military was dangerous, as long as he was fine. Heart arrangement, the iron-blooded 18th Army will never lose.

"Ok - at eight o'clock this evening, after the meeting, let's visit the representatives of Tang Shengzhi and Wu Peifu together!"

Xue Yue also read the meaning of Du Haisheng's words. At that time, he suddenly opened his speech. If it was according to Du Haisheng's plan, the final victory or defeat was really unpredictable.

"Hey hey, although Lao Jiang dispatched three armies and two independent divisions this time, which is four times more than our army, he ignored one point. These armies have never fought together at all, there is no cooperation with each other, and there is almost no ability and experience in coordinated combat. In the final analysis, these troops are the root It's a plate of loose sand, and it's impossible to eat them all, but we have to find their key points and pull out their sharpest tooth. I'm afraid that Lao Jiang will also feel pain. Without sharp teeth, even if he is a fierce lion, he will become a docile sheep without any threat!"

"Actually, we can do this..."

Xue Yue was also mobilized by Du Haisheng's enthusiasm. His brain quickly rotated. Finally, he stared at the map and said, "Here, here are some mountains. We might as well send one..."

When he finished speaking, Du Haisheng also had two eyes shining and said, "Yes, Brother Xue's words are exactly what I want!"

"However, this raid force must be handed over to a psychologically strong one you can trust and can fight a hard battle!"

Du Haisheng said and finally added.

"Oc's right, not to mention anything else, my Xue Yue's original German equipment regiment can be trusted, but it's just to use your Thomson submachine gun!"

Xue Yue nodded and said that he agreed with Du Haisheng's words. However, there were not many Thomson submachine guns provided by the other party, and they could not be equipped in the hands of every soldier now! Let him have some regrets.

"How many Thomson submachine guns are there in the Iron and Blood Eighteenth Army now?"

Du Haisheng thought for a moment and asked.

"You have provided a total of three batches of Thomson submachine guns, a total of 3,000!"

"How much?"

Xue Yue's words made Du Haisheng a little disbelief. Because he knew the first batch, and the second and third batches were all checked by Yu Yan, and they also had to sort out the reports. After sorting out, Zhang Zihan, who was newly promoted to the manager of Du's enterprise arms and weapons sales company, should first approve it, and about this party The information will only be presented to him until the end of each month.

Xue Yue said that 3,000 Thomsons were provided to the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army, which also surprised him a little. According to his estimation, the Iron-blooded Eighteenth Army owned only 2,000 Thomsons at most. It seems that he underestimated the ability of the original Dongshan. This boy must have fought with James in New York. These 3,000 Although the Thomson submachine gun cannot be equipped with an independent division, it can also form a certain combat effectiveness.

Think about it, what a spectacular scene it will be for Thomson, who is 3,000 powerful and has a high frequency of bullets to shoot at the enemy together...

"Naturally, don't you know?"

Xue Yue saw Du Haisheng's surprised expression and asked casually.

"Well, now the arms and weapons sales company is in charge of Zhang Zihan, who is in charge of the number of the housekeeper. At the end of each month, I read the report and check it."

Du Haisheng explained with an embarrassed smile!

"However, there should be a surprise for you in the next two days. Well, let your independent regiment give all the German equipment to other brothers, and replace all 3,000 Thomsons with them. In addition, inform their regiment commander in advance so that they can prepare for the emergency march at any time. Old Jiang will play it unexpectedly, and we will also play with soldiers and be unprepared!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it later!"

Xue Yue nodded and said jokingly, "Brother Du, you know so much about the military. Are you interested in any of my iron-blooded 18th Army?"

"Aren't I right now?"

Du Haisheng asked a rhetorical question, and then laughed. Xue Yue hesitated for a moment, and also laughed. The laughter of the two men immediately attracted the side eyes of the others in the command room...
