Chapter 419 Black Wind Village
Early the next morning, Wang Meng took the little bookworm, Meng's father and Meng's mother, got on a jeep and sped towards Baoshan Airport.
It was evening when we arrived at Pingshun Airport.
As soon as he got off the plane, Wang Meng handed the stunned little bookworm and Meng's father and mother to Lin Shubing, asking him to take care of them properly.
"Shubing, this little bookworm is a talent. Send him to the political cadre training class and try to make him a qualified cadre before the battle in Yunnan starts!"
"Okay, leave it to me!"
Wang Meng drove directly to the Pingshun Military Fortress and saw Zhang Wanhe and Li Yunlong chatting and reminiscing about the hard days back then.
It would have been fine if these two people didn't talk, but once they started talking they discovered that Li Yunlong had taken so many advantages of others.
"Old Li, I thought I was smart enough, but I didn't expect that the devil is always stronger than the good. You should buy me a drink, you took advantage of me so much!"
"Hehehe, it's true that you're taking advantage, but you're taking advantage of the boss, not you, Zhang Wanhe! You want to drink? Dream on!"
"You are still so stingy. This time we will sell the tens of thousands of rifles and hundreds of thousands of rounds of ammunition we seized to the Eighth Route Army at a low price. It can be regarded as paying off your debt, right?"
Li Yunlong nodded. They had no use for these guns anyway, so they might as well sell them half and give them away to the Eighth Route Army.
"I've been away for a few days, and you've sold your belongings?"
"Hahaha, how could that be possible! We exchanged the Japs' weapons and equipment for several coal mines, iron mines, and copper mines. We didn't suffer any loss from this business!"
It turned out that after Wang Meng left, Zhang Wanhe began to consider doing business.
After much thought, the Eighth Route Army only had those mines to pay for these weapons and equipment.
However, Zhang Wanhe did not take it for free. In addition to these weapons and equipment, the mined coal, iron ore and copper ore were split 50-50 after deducting the cost.
As for whether the Eighth Route Army wants weapons and equipment or US dollar gold bars, it doesn’t matter.
So, it’s a win-win situation.
"Lao Zhang, these weapons and equipment must weigh dozens of tons, right? How do we transport them?"
"Then we can use the trucks of our independent column's transport regiment to take us across the Yongji Yellow River Bridge and directly to the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region. By the way, Wei Dayong and his men are planning a mobile training exercise, so let him take a company of new recruits and escort them over!"
"Reliable!"
Wang Meng took the opportunity to sit down and talk to the two of them about how to speed up the production of weapons and equipment. After all, if a war broke out in Yunnan, it would be a real battle on two fronts.
Fuel, weapons and ammunition, military uniforms and even cars have become consumables, and it will cost a lot of money by then.
"Chief of Staff Wang, to speed up the production of these materials, we need to purchase more machine tools. With machine tools, we can continue to expand several production lines of various types, and doubling the production capacity is not a problem!"
"Machine tools are easy to make, but do we have enough workers to operate them?"
"That's enough! Those engineers from Country M are really amazing. They have trained our technicians to become masters. Now these apprentices are better than the old masters!"
This is the power of the dollar! Wang Mengke promised them that if they could train a qualified technician, each person would be rewarded with 100 dollars!
For Franklin's sake, don't we have to teach with all our might?
"How about two hundred machine tools of various types? Can you digest them?"
"Okay! That's great!"
"Okay, pick up the goods at the big warehouse tomorrow morning!"
After solving this problem, Wang Meng and others started chatting about family matters, and while they were chatting, Zhang Wanhe kept looking up at his watch.
"Lao Zhang, isn't this watch produced by our Pingshun Watch Factory? Do you have to keep raising your hand to show off to us?"
To be honest, there is nothing much to show off about Zhang Wanhe's watch. In order to improve work efficiency and cooperate with each other during the war, Wang Meng established a watch factory when the development zone was first established.
Every cadre above the platoon level in the independent column was given a watch. On Zhang Wanhe's wrist was the most common "Military Soul" brand watch.
"Mengzi, how dare I show off to you! I'm waiting for a telegram! To ensure safety, every afternoon at 6 o'clock, the transport regiment's radio station will send a telegram to the headquarters to report safety! It's already 6:30, why is there no movement?"
Wang Meng felt something was wrong. Responding to everything was the principle of the independent column. Since it was determined that reports must be made on time at six o'clock every night, even if it was a big deal, he had to put it aside and send the message first!
Unless, there is a war, or the radio station is out of control!
Li Yunlong and his two companions quickly walked to the front of the map. According to the established plan, they had crossed the Yongji Yellow River Bridge today and were marching towards Heyang in the north.
After careful calculation, they should set up camp in the Zhujiayuan area.
"Immediately check if there are any of our people or hostile forces active near Zhuyuan!"
The operations meeting room immediately became busy. Ten minutes later, after integrating information from all sides, Wang Meng received a piece of news that made him feel extremely guilty and sad.
"Report, Zhujiayuan is currently under the control of the 386nd Regiment of the 772th Brigade. There are no Japanese or puppet troops active in that area, but there is an armed force."
"Whose troops? The Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or the Central Army?"
"Neither. They are a group of bandits called Black Wind Village. There are about 300 of them. They usually make a living by robbing passing merchants. They have made a lot of ill-gotten gains, and their weapons and equipment are also top-notch!"
The three words "Black Wind Village" exploded in Wang Meng's heart like a bolt from the blue. He thought that this tragedy would never happen again after Kong Jie followed Li Yunlong and Wei Heshang to become a paratrooper, but he didn't expect it to still happen!
Wang Meng staggered and fell onto the chair. If it weren't for the back of the chair supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground.
"Mengzi, what's wrong with you?"
Li Yunlong's voice was like a voice-over in the wild, constantly hitting Wang Meng's eardrums. After about ten minutes, a chaotic scene appeared in front of him.
The military doctor, Li Yunlong, and Zhang Wanhe were busy running around, and only stopped when they saw him open his eyes.
"Quick! Immediately get the 201st Airborne Regiment on board and airdrop to Zhujiayuan! Also, which unit is closest to Zhujiayuan? Have them support Zhujiayuan immediately!"
Although Li Yunlong didn't know why Wang Meng was so excited, he knew Wang Meng and he must have his reasons for doing so.
"Yongji Yellow River Bridge, the nearest armored division should be Kong Jie's Fifth Division!"
"Damn! It's really Kong Jie! Contact Kong Jie immediately and ask him if he is in contact with Xie Baoqing of Black Wind Village! Lao Li, tell me immediately if there is any situation. I will act together with the 201st Airborne Regiment!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he rushed to Pingshun Airport in a hurry, leaving Li Yunlong and Zhang Wanhe in a panic.
