Chapter 251 The Defense of the 583rd Regiment(1/5)
Wei Mingyang replenished all the cannons he had just captured into the 16th Heavy Artillery Regiment.
The 583rd Regiment of the 98th Division collected one-third of its artillery and said nothing about it.
Sun Yuanliang of the Eighty-eighth Division was unwilling: with so many cannons, he could form an artillery regiment with this division.
But Wei Mingyang didn't want to!
Xia Chuzhong didn't understand: They were all fighting Japanese invaders, shouldn't the captured weapons support each other?
After all, Lu Jingrong was the leader of Wei Mingyang, and the pattern was big.
He said with a smile: "Our regiment participated in the battle against this group of Japanese soldiers, and dozens of brothers were injured or killed. Only then did we get one-third of the artillery.
What would we think if Brigadier Wei really gave the cannon to the 88th Division?
Just like those infantry guns, he gave us one hundred and twenty, and gave the other two divisions forty each.
It's because we spent money.
In front of Brigadier Wei, nothing is as straightforward and enjoyable as spending money."
Hearing what he said, Xia Chuzhong was tempted: "How much does it cost to buy such a cannon?"
"Teacher! Do you still have money?"
This is a bit of a stab in the lungs.
Xia Chuzhong sighed softly: "Four 150mm caliber howitzers, four 122mm caliber cannons, four 75mm caliber field guns, forty-four Type 92 infantry guns,
We can also make do with an artillery regiment.
Don't expect too much.
It would be bad if you are too greedy!"
Lu Jingrong thought to himself: "A month ago, our entire army did not have so many artillery pieces! Don't expect too much."
He knew in his heart: these cannons were important, and even more important were the tens of thousands of artillery shells.
These are the most important things. As long as he is given unlimited shells, Lu Jingrong feels that he can stay at Yangliuqing Station until the end of the world.
The commander of Isoya Rensuke's division retreated for ten miles, but did not notice that the national army tanks were catching up, so he stopped escaping.
Gather the remaining soldiers!
The remaining soldiers are easy to gather now, they are all Japanese soldiers from Inohara Ren's battalion and guards from the regiment headquarters.
The soldiers are single and easy to gather together!
Haruji Taniguchi's 10th Field Artillery Regiment was only short of a dozen personnel. The casualties of more than 900 Japanese soldiers were already very few.
But their cannons were lost and their shells were lost.
The weapons carried by these devils: ordinary devils have a bayonet, and the commander has an extra pistol.
Nearly a thousand Japs only have equipment like this left.
What else can artillery do without cannons?
In this case, they can't do anything.
But there are no pursuers coming, and there is no need for them to do anything!
Commander Isotani Renjie is no longer running away, he is waiting here.
Behind it was the 33rd Infantry Brigade.
This team is a little further away, so just wait here.
This time, the commander of Isotani Renjie Division planned to attack Tianjin directly with superior force in one go.
This time, the entire Second Army of the North China Front was retreating in a hurry.
The 16th Infantry Division and the 109th Infantry Division were both retreating.
After Commander Shouichi Temple got off the train in Nanyuan, Beiping, he realized that Tianjin had been lost.
It was angry but at the same time rejoiced: Fortunately, it ran fast!
Otherwise, the dignified commander of the North China Army would have met with the commander of the Shanghai Expeditionary Army in Nanjing.
The happiness was followed by anger: the attacking team of the National Army was too unruly and did not follow its own plan at all.
If this team goes to attack Xianxian County, there is Isoya Rensuke's 10th Division in that direction. How can they stop it?
And the Second Army in that direction also has two divisions that can be mobilized.
Tianjin has been lost, and there is no use thinking too much about it.
Terauchi Juichi ordered the 16th Infantry Division, 109th Infantry Division, and 10th Infantry Division that were already on their way back to Tianjin to cooperate well.
We must annihilate all the national troops who invaded Tianjin!
As for the First Army of the North China Front, it temporarily stopped attacking and reduced its ranks.
Although the order given by Commander Juichi Teruchi to the Second Army was firm, it had no confidence in its heart.
Can these three divisions take Tianjin back?
This is really a problem!
This is why it asked the First Army to stop attacking and shrink its ranks.
If the Second Army cannot capture Tianjin, it will only be able to take back all the First Army.
Anyway: Tianjin is a very important place.
For the Japanese, this place is their most important city besides the Northeast.
They have invested huge financial and material resources in the concession here, and they also store abundant supplies here.
According to the past practice of the national army, they did not dare to confiscate the Japanese supplies.
He has confidence in this matter!
However, it did not expect that Wei Mingyang would be in charge of the attack on Tianjin this time.
Now he not only counted and confiscated all the materials stored by the Japanese army.
Even the property of the more than 10,000 Japanese who joined the Self-Defense Forces is being confiscated.
The reason given by Wei Mingyang was: These devils are war rebels, and all their property must be confiscated.
As a result, the intensity of collection is unprecedented.
All the factories in the Japanese Concession are full of rebels, and they are all the devils of the management.
So these factories all belong to Wei Mingyang, who really has no experience in handling these things.
But Wei Mingyang has a very experienced friend: Song Ziwen!
Song Ziwen was still in Shanghai when he received a call from Wei Mingyang from Tianjin.
Ask him to help deal with the factories in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin and the large amount of materials in the factories.
Song Ziwen has been busy working on his simplified version of the tank these days, and is also discussing with Mrs. Jiang how to include him in the aircraft manufacturing factory in Hangzhou.
At this time, I heard that Wei Mingyang was going to confiscate most of the factories in the Japanese concession in Tianjin.
He was stunned for a moment, then he understood and immediately said: "It is not convenient for me to come forward directly in this matter.
My identity is a bit sensitive, but I can send someone over to handle this matter with full authority on my behalf.
I just don’t know if Brother Wei wants to prepare to deal with it?”
Wei Mingyang said directly: "It would be best if it could be packaged and processed!
All companies will be dealt with at one price. If you have any questions within ten days, you can contact me.
The transaction will be officially completed in ten days, and I will not care about the subsequent lawsuits."
Of course Song Ziwen knew about this kind of factory, and there would definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
But as one of the "four major families" of the Republic of China, would he still be afraid of trouble?
I agreed immediately.
Then he suggested: "Brother Wei, the cotton mills in the Japanese Concession are very profitable.
Do you want to join in?"
"I joined because I was afraid of the negative impact!" Wei Mingyang certainly knew that the cotton mill made money.
Otherwise, the Japanese would not open such factories all over the country.
But if he had shares in a cotton mill and the Japanese found out, the mill might not be able to continue operating.
Song Ziwen laughed: "I have experience in this. I registered a company in the United States and bought all these companies.
Pay a tax to Americans.
These properties are the property of Americans.
Even if there is any trouble in the later stage, the Japanese must go to the United States to fight.
