Chapter 80 Ten months later
As early as the beginning of this year, after receiving 30,000 penicillin from Wang Mingyu, Qian Liye personally transported penicillin back to northern Shaanxi, making the central officials admire him. He personally met this hero on the battlefield behind the enemy, highly praised his contributions to the country and the nation, and at the same time thanked him for saving the lives of many Red Army soldiers, which are now the Eighth Route Army soldiers.
After learning about the matter, I asked about Qian Liye’s real situation. In fact, it was not that Qian Liye concealed it but that it was a major issue. Comrade Li Kenong, Minister of the Ministry of Society, went to report the good news directly to the Chairman because he didn’t have time to talk to Qian Liye. Then the Chairman took all his time to receive Qian Liye.
Qian Liye then told the truth.
Hearing Qian Liye’s words, the chairman and others said in surprise: This is true
Qian Liye stood up and saluted and said: I guarantee it with my party spirit and principles, and everything I say is true.
Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said: Comrade Qian Liye, don’t be nervous. We just can’t believe that a Kuomintang officer has provided us with such great help. It’s really puzzling.
The Chairman also said: Does this person have any purpose? What can our party help him at the moment?
Qian Liye said nervously: Report Chairman, Vice Chairman Zhou, Minister Li, I know this person. I had contact with him when I was in the Central Military Academy before. He is a very strange person.
The chairman looked at Qian Liye with interest and asked: Oh, what a strange way
Report to the chairman, this person actually has a good impression of our party. I once tested his tone, but he did not refuse, but he said it is impossible now.
Tell me why
He said that the Kuomintang is growing and not a political party suitable for China, but the main reason why he stayed in the Kuomintang was that he wanted to fight the Japanese devils head-on on the battlefield.
Upon hearing this, the chairman knew what this person was thinking, so he smiled and said: This person is interesting, but since he did not ask for anything in return and wanted to fight against Japan, he seemed to be a real patriot. Whether it is the Kuomintang or as long as he really resisted Japan, we welcome it.
Qian Liye said timidly: He just has a small request
At this time, Li Kenong smiled and said: I said, there must be conditions. A Kuomintang officer has such kindness. I think he wants to take two boats.
The Chairman said: What are the conditions
He asked us to keep it secret, don't say that he gave it to him
The chairman and the others looked at each other and smiled. Minister Li Kenong blushed and said: We agree to this request, which is what we should do.
The Chairman said happily: This matter is limited to a few of us. Let’s do this. Comrade Qian Liye will be responsible for the matters that contact Wang Mingyu in the future. Comrade Kenong should not arrange his other tasks.
Yes, when Chairman Qian Liye heard the Chairman give him a task, he stood up excitedly and saluted. Hehe, you comrade, have solved a big problem for our party. This time, saving one million yuan in funds for our party. I thank you for not having time. The chairman signaled Qian Liye to sit down and say, "Chairman, you don't know the market. Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said, "Comrade Enlai," said, "The Chairman laughed and said, "Comrade Qian Liye saved us a million ocean now. Now the price of a penicillin is at least 130 yuan, and it is an acquaintance. Generally, there are no fifty oceans, so don't even think about it." Vice Chairman Zhou held back his smile and said, "That's what we said, Comrade Qian Liye saved our party at least four million yuan in funds."
In fact, Vice Chairman Zhou said helplessly, "Okay, good, good luck stars come from the sky." Chairman three good words in a row. Then a few people chatted together for a while. Since the chairman had to do a lot of things, Qian Liye was taken away by Minister Li Kenong. It seems that he needs to communicate with Comrade Qian Liye well. Why don't you tell the Ministry of Social Affairs about such important news first? He forgot that he came to report the good news in a hurry.
On June 20, 1937, Wang Mingyu was very pleased to watch the soldiers' increasingly mature military skills on the training ground. Now what his troops lack the most is actual combat inspection. Only the troops that have undergone actual combat inspection can be a force that cannot be defeated or crushed, and can be an indomitable steel lion.
At present, Wang Mingyu has four battalions under the Third Regiment in Zhejiang, each battalion has about 700 people, and there is another artillery company with 300 people, of which 100 have been assigned to the 56th and 7th Battalions; the Information Department, Communications Department, Direct Team, Bagie Company, and Field Hospital.
Under the construction of Nie Sisi, the field hospital has already had many doctors and nurses, and several groups of doctors and nurses have been sent to the 567th Battalion as the branch of the field hospital. With the cooperation of Wang Jie, the equipment, equipment, medicines, tools, etc. of the field hospital have been put into use. The current situation of the field hospital is very good. Since there is no war, it is very easy at present.
After two years of exhibitions, the Intelligence Department has already had a considerable scale. With the efforts of section chief Gao Shan and others, the intelligence networks in Shanghai, Nanjing, Xuzhou and other places have become quite mature. Under Wang Mingyu's silver dollar offensive, Gao Shan and others' efficiency is self-evident. After Wang Mingyu's guidance and training, Gao Shan and others have already had their own set of intelligence acquisition methods and means. During this period, several experts who deciphered the code have appeared, which played a crucial role in future wars.
The artillery company is the most exciting among these people, because at the beginning of this year, Wang Mingyu ordered a large number of artillery in the United States through Wang Jie, including mortars, combat defense artillery, field heavy artillery, etc., and each battalion basically had an artillery company, but it did not claim to the outside world. Among them, the 567th Battalion was comparable to Wang Mingyu's 318th Regiment. In other words, Wang Mingyu's real strength is far more than that of the regiment.
The Fifth Battalion, under the construction of Huang Boxiong, had formed a regiment of about 2,000 people, and was a battalion to the outside world. However, there were eight companies below, one artillery company. In addition to the artillery company, each company also had a machine gun platoon and several mortars. Due to its superior geographical location, Huang Boxiong had cleared the bandit forces that were moving. Now each company has begun to act as a bandit, in order not to be doubted, only Huang Boxiong left three companies under his command, and the number was not closed. However, this small group of troops did not attract others' attention because they were in the mountains. Huang Boxiong's training was not inferior to that of the soldiers under Wang Mingyu in the 318th Regiment, and the food was also guaranteed. After all, Wang Mingyu gave them a lot of money.
The Sixth Battalion was even more amazing under the construction of Sun Dabao. The entire battalion was about 3,000 people, with a scale of 318th Regiment. There was also a company below, with 300 people in each company. Among them, there was an artillery company, and each company had a heavy machine gun platoon, machine gun platoon, and artillery platoon. These weapons were obtained by Wang Mingyu for their money. It can be said that the combat effectiveness of the Sixth Battalion is no less than that of the 318th Regiment. The Sixth Battalion claimed to be the two battalions of the 318th Regiment that they were trained, but they did not attract people's attention. Now Sino-Japanese relations are becoming increasingly tense.
The National Government is indeed increasing, and who cares about the small troops of a battalion training here, which also leaves a lot of space for Sun Dabao. During this period, Wang Mingyu had already given Sun Dabao a route, allowing them to go from the Jinshanwei line of Quangongting, Hangzhou Bay to inspect places with better defense, and build certain simple fortifications in advance to prevent accidents. Although Sun Dabao didn't understand, he did as he did. However, after following Wang Mingyu for so long, Sun Dabao vaguely felt something but it felt too incredible, so he didn't care too much.
The Seventh Battalion is a real-level camp. Wang Mingchuan brought up the first team of the Seventh Battalion in Wuxi, with a number of about 2,500 people. Wu Peilin also brought up a team of about 2,500 people in Kunshan area of Suzhou. The two teams echoed each other, basically forming a connection with Nanjing in Shanghai. Due to Wang Mingyu's relationship, the troops were very disciplined and achieved what a real soldier should do. So the Seventh Battalion has become a people-owned army in the eyes of the locals, which is very popular.
The local people welcomed me. There were many wealthy businessmen in Wuxi, Suzhou, and they were very worried about the sudden extra troops. However, after a long time, they were surprised because they did not receive a large amount of blackmail, which seemed to them to be incredible. The Fifth Battalion and the Sixth Battalion did not attract much attention, but the Seventh Battalion attracted the attention of Nanjing. The number of the Seventh Battalion was officially listed, and they claimed to the outside world that the Seventh Battalion, the 318th Regiment of the 67th Division of the National Revolutionary Army, the battalion commander Wang Mingchuan, and the Chief of Staff Wu Peilin.
Nanjing also sent a telegram to ask Wang Mingyu of the 318th Regiment. Wang Mingyu just called back to go out for training and returned to the headquarters in August. Nanjing did not make clear instructions, so Wang Mingyu was so happy to pretend that he couldn't see it.
Wang Mingyu is now considering his strength to see if he can change in the Battle of Shanghai. Now Wang Mingyu has a total of seven battalions, with a total strength of 14ooo people, of which seven battalions have about 13ooo people, including about one thousand people, including the direct team, intelligence department, baggage company, and artillery company. His strength has reached or even reached a division of troops. Wang Mingyu completely relies on himself to support this army. It is conceivable how much pressure is, but the business of penicillin is surprisingly good. At present, Wang Mingyu has also opened some sales to Japan, but the price is very outrageous, but the Japanese have no choice. A penicillin is equivalent to the life of an imperial warrior, so they have to pay a heavy price to buy.
Wang Jie played a very important role in this. It can be said that without Wang Jie, Wang Mingyu's series of plans could not be implemented.
