Chapter 261 Shigeyasu Suzuki's trump card is gone(1/5)
If the factories Wei Mingyang just mentioned were built, they would be successful.
The money that needs to be spent is more than billions and tens of billions.
Such a large investment cannot be handled by Huang Huangrong and Du Yuesheng.
They must gather a group of businessmen they like to invest together.
But in a place like Tianjin, they are really worried.
Here in Tianjin, although Wei Mingyang is protecting him, if something happens to him, he steps down.
What to do with factories built with tens of billions of investments?
If it is in Shanghai, they have nothing to worry about!
Why?
Because they have so many younger brothers in Shanghai Beach, no matter who is the boss in Shanghai Beach, they must consider their influence in Shanghai Beach.
Now that they heard that Wei Mingyang allowed them to develop the Youth Gang in Tianjin, Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng truly felt Wei Mingyang's sincerity.
The Youth Gang can develop in Shanghai, and there is no reason why it cannot develop in Tianjin until the number of members increases.
No one dares to mess with them.
Just like Shanghai, why did the Japanese want to win over the three of them?
Isn't it because their underground power is too huge?
It was so huge that no matter the Japanese, the concession countries, or the Chairman of the Generalissimo, they had to rely on them.
Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng are already moved.
Wei Mingyang continued: "Brothers from the Qing Gang, we have a mission: there are too many traitors in North China.
Let the brothers find the traitors and stare them to death.
This is the only requirement for brothers!"
Du Yuesheng quickly expressed his position: "Commander, don't worry! We in the Qing Gang will never betray our country. During the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, the Qing Gang brothers organized a pistol team to fight against the Japanese.
There were more than 20,000 people, more than 5,000 were killed, and not a single brother retreated!"
Wei Mingyang smiled: "It is precisely because of this that there is cooperation between our brothers!"
These words were said lightly, but Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng felt something in their hearts: Commander Wei had a deep hatred for the Japanese.
You must pay attention in the future: this inverse scale cannot be touched!
This is not inconsistent with the purpose of their Youth Gang!
The three of them are just discussing the general direction of cooperation today, and there is no rush for specific operations at this time.
During the dinner, Du Yuesheng said with a smile: "Congratulations to the commander on the victory! From now on, the Japanese navy will not dare to come where the commander is present."
Wei Mingyang said modestly: "The devils only care about eating but not about beating! They come and beat them one at a time."
Du Yuesheng asked: "Commander, if you need anything, just ask, I will do my best to help."
Wei Mingyang thought: This Du Yuesheng has a wide circle of friends.
Then he said: "I want to purchase two hundred 20mm machine guns and two hundred thousand shells.
When our army is fighting against the Japs, the worst thing is the Air Force. If we can have such a batch of anti-aircraft guns, the Japs’ planes won’t dare to be too rampant.”
"Can I ask someone to pick up the goods in Tianjin?"
"It's in Tianjin!" Wei Mingyang said with certainty.
Then he said: "If our military factory is established, we won't need to give such orders to outsiders."
This sentence made Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng's eyes turn red.
This is an order worth tens of millions!
Both of them secretly made up their minds: get ready immediately when they go back.
Every day you miss is a day you miss making money!
The two men left, and Wei Mingyang looked at today's battle report: the 98th Division withstood the Japanese attack in Langfang.
Shot down nine enemy aircraft, repelled five Japanese attacks, and annihilated thousands of Japanese soldiers.
Yao Ziqing commanded the special operations mixed brigade to usher in a Japanese counterattack in front of Shanhaiguan, shot down thirteen enemy planes, and repelled two Japanese attacks.
De County, Xian County, and Jinan were all bombed by Japanese planes.
The first section of the Sichuan Army bound for Tianjin has arrived in Jinan and will arrive at Yangliuqing Station tomorrow morning.
Wei Mingyang has already asked people to prepare a station at Dongjuzi Airport.
These people can be stationed in Tianjin as soon as they arrive.
The first batch of Sichuan troops arrived, and he wanted to greet them personally.
That night, Gu Zuo and Li Daqiang led two battalions, plus an infantry regiment of the 87th Division, still marching in the mountains and forests.
They already knew something about the counterattack launched by the Japanese yesterday through their contacts with Gao Hongmin.
I also understood why Gao Hongmin just flew here in Shanhaiguan for an hour and then left.
"The Japanese are attacking in three directions, and Gao Hongmin and others are going to conduct reconnaissance everywhere.
And they also have to avoid the Japanese plane!
That’s what matters!”
Fortunately, Gao Hongmin saw them from the air and pointed out that Shanhaiguan was about thirteen miles northeast of them.
Gu Zuo, Li Daqiang and the others marched all night just to get to Shanhaiguan before dawn!
At dawn, Gu Zuo stood on the top of the mountain and looked through the telescope at Shanhaiguan in the distance.
The city gate was still open, and there were no cars or horses going in or out.
There is also a Japanese checkpoint at the checkpoint. It can be seen that the sentry is very responsible in checking all the vehicles entering and exiting.
Even the carriages going in and out had their cargo stabbed twice with bayonets before they were allowed to go.
According to the plan, Gu Zuo and the others are waiting here!
Wait for the main force to attack from below and then rush out when the enemy panics, seizing the barrier in one fell swoop.
The team is lurking here for the time being, and it is definitely not doing nothing.
Gu Zuo ordered: "Each company sent out reconnaissance teams to carefully examine the surrounding terrain."
This is a good time to be idle during the day. I want to become more familiar with the surrounding mountains and rivers and geography, which will also be convenient for the next battle.
Brigade commander Suzuki Shigeyasu has been unhappy these past two days: the 11th Independent Brigade failed to fight well for two consecutive days.
When the 20th Infantry Division arrived at Shanhaiguan yesterday, they thought they could launch a counterattack against the national army in front of them with their superior strength.
The national army was defeated in one fell swoop.
As a result, the national army held its position firmly and did not appear to collapse at all.
Several times Suzuki Shigeyasu wanted to use his hidden artillery.
Every time it felt: now is not the time to use artillery.
The goal of the national army is not big enough!
Suzuki Shigeyasu's brigade commander's target was the National Army's tanks. From the failed attack by the Tenkai Kuro Air Brigade, he knew that the National Army had forty tanks.
Its heavy artillery must hit these forty tanks first, and then it can hit other targets of the national army.
This has been the plan of Commander Suzuki Shigeyasu all along.
The heavy artillery brigade aims to take the enemy by surprise and knock out the tank in one fell swoop.
Division Commander Kawagishi Bunzaburo led the 20th Infantry Division to rush to Shanhaiguan and participated in the attack on the national army yesterday morning.
The effect is not good, very bad!
This made him very unhappy, and immediately asked Captain Hosokawa Nakayasu to prepare to bomb those hills.
The Hosokawa Nakayasu Regiment is its field artillery regiment, with forty-eight artillery pieces of various types. This strength is much stronger than the artillery brigade of Suzuki Brigade Commander.
However, the commander of Suzuki Shigeyasu's brigade tried his best to persuade him and told him his plan to show weakness to the enemy.
Opposite the national army: you can use 75mm caliber infantry artillery, you can use 70mm caliber field artillery.
But we can no longer use artillery with larger calibers. These artillery pieces will hit the national army unprepared.
When the national army uses all tanks to attack, let all heavy artillery fire at the same time.
Knock out their tanks in one fell swoop, defeat the fighting spirit of the national army, and then launch an all-out counterattack.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with this plan.
Division commander Kawagishi Bunzaburo also knew from the telegram sent by Commander Juichi Terauchi that the National Army’s tanks were particularly powerful.
Now that I have such a perfect plan, I no longer insist on it.
To be continued...
