254 Counterattack
"Be careful, everyone. Try harder, or you'll get hit by the machines inside."
At the riverside dock, Luo Hu was commanding a group of soldiers to carry a large box off a large ship.
Ye Qingshan and Xiao Shanling were standing not far away watching.
"Qingshan, these two big boxes contain the new bullet-making machines you bought from the Americans.
Along the way, I didn't let anyone open the door or get close to it.
We were afraid that someone would find out and intercept us halfway."
Xiao Shanling said with emotion.
Xiao Shanling knew very well that what the national army in Jinling City lacked most at this time was not guns, but bullets.
“Finally it’s been brought back.
Elder Yan has been asking me this for several days."
Ye Qingshan said with a smile.
“Arrange someone to deliver the machine directly to the arsenal and hand it over to Elder Yan.
Mr. Yan understands this better than us.
Tell Mr. Yan to debug these two bullet-making machines as soon as possible.
Speed up the production of bullets, especially bullets for submachine guns, the more the better."
Ye Qingshan immediately gave orders to the accompanying officers and said.
“Qingshan, this batch of arms has been shipped back.
How are you going to allocate it?
Now, many generals in the city are secretly asking me for information."
Then, Xiao Shanling asked Ye Qingshan.
"We'll talk about this later."
Ye Qingshan kept the secret, he had his own plans.
In fact, Ye Qingshan never had actual control over the dozen or so national army troops in the city.
Even though, at this time Ye Qingshan indirectly seized power by controlling Tang Shengzhi.
This also cannot change the fact.
In other words, because Ye Qingshan had seized power at this time, he could indeed command these national army troops with the help of Tang Shengzhi and the headquarters.
But Ye Qingshan had to issue the order in his personal capacity.
At this time in the city, except for Zhou Pingkou and Sun Mingxu's troops, there would be no other national army troops that would obey his orders.
Under such circumstances, Ye Qingshan was faced with the issue of allocating arms and new recruits.
He has to consider giving priority to his own people.
Of course, Ye Qingshan also has to allocate new recruits and arms to other national army units in the city.
After all, they will also have to contribute to the fight against the Japanese invaders later.
However, Ye Qingshan is already considering that these national army troops will be the main force to fight against the Japanese invaders.
He replaced them with his own troops and the newly formed militia in the city.
In fact, Ye Qingshan had already been thinking about what to do after the battle in Jinling.
However, Ye Qingshan also knew that he had to pay attention to the timing.
We cannot really let these commanders of the various National Army units become dissatisfied.
Before the decisive battle, Ye Qingshan still has to unite these Kuomintang commanders.
Therefore, he needs to consider the issue of arms distribution carefully.
At the same time, Ye Qingshan also has a batch of arms that will arrive soon.
This is the third batch of old water beads purchased from the Russians.
This time the number is even greater, a total of 15,000.
These old water cannons were discarded by the Russian army and were originally intended to be sold abroad.
The price is certainly not high, and it’s even hard to sell.
As a result, a big investor like Ye Qingshan has emerged and bought up tens of thousands of old water beads in one go.
Almost half of the stock in the hands of the Russians was bought out.
How could the Russians refuse such a good thing?
As for Ye Qingshan, all his money had been used to buy the arms from the Pitt family.
Of course there is no money to pay the Russians for the subsequent payments for the goods.
But that's okay.
Along with the penicillin distributed by Uncle Lin in Hong Kong, it gradually gained praise from countless doctors in the international market.
Doctors all over the world now know about the emergence of penicillin, this magical antibiotic.
The Russians naturally also paid attention to it.
Therefore, Uncle Lin was authorized by Ye Qingshan to have a secret talk with the Russians in Hong Kong.
Finally, the Russian representative agreed.
Let Ye Qingshan use penicillin to pay for the later purchase of Shui Lianzhu.
Moreover, they relaxed the time limit.
Ye Qingshan doesn't need to pay now, just deliver a certain amount of penicillin to them within the next year.
Therefore, Ye Qingshan's waiting for Xiao Shanling to bring back the batch of arms he bought from the Pitt family was only the first step.
This batch of arms was mainly allocated to his most elite troops.
However, after this batch of American-made weapons is distributed to elite troops, there will probably not be much left.
Ye Qingshan really wanted to counterattack.
In addition to pursuing quality, quantity is more important.
After purchasing these water-fired missiles from the Russians, they were equipped to tens of thousands of militiamen in the city.
This was the confidence that Ye Qingshan had in his final counterattack against the Japanese.
As for the transportation of this batch of old watercrafts, Ye Qingshan has no need to worry.
The value of these old guns is far less than the American ones that Ye Qingshan bought.
There is no one who covets it.
Because the quantity is too large, it takes a lot of time to transport it from Russia.
After receiving this batch of arms, Ye Qingshan received another piece of good news.
"Commander Chen just sent a telegram saying that our intelligence personnel in Shanghai have obtained a top-secret intelligence.
The Japanese transported ammunition and supplies from the country.
It is now required that it be sent to the Xuzhou front line first.
The supply of ammunition to the Japanese in Nanjing has been delayed."
Ning Yongchen found Ye Qingshan with the telegram that Chen Cheng had just sent, and said happily.
"Is there such a good thing?"
Ye Qingshan took the telegram, read it, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Haha, that's good news indeed.
My weapons arrived first, but the Japanese's ammunition supplies have not arrived yet.
Is God telling me to take action in advance?"
Ye Qingshan's eyes suddenly lit up.
But after a moment, he shook his head again: “No, no, the tens of thousands of soldiers in my city are still in training.
They still need time.”
However, Ye Qingshan also knew it.
During these few days, the Japanese who have not received any ammunition supplies will be at their weakest.
In this situation, if Ye Qingshan didn't hit him, he would feel uncomfortable.
"Damn it, we still have to do it for a while.
Take advantage of the fact that the Japanese have no ammunition supplies yet and launch a counterattack.
Let’s drive the Japs out of the city first.
By the way, take back Guanghua Gate and get in touch with the teaching team on Purple Mountain."
Ye Qingshan thought for a moment, then pounded the table hard, his eyes firm and he made up his mind.
“Send a message to all the division commanders and army commanders in the city.
Have them send someone to the headquarters tonight to pick up weapons and ammunition."
"All the operational staff of the headquarters, from now on, immediately prepare a counterattack plan for me.
The duration is three days.
The goal is to recapture all urban areas of Jinling."
"Didn't that old devil Matsui Iwane just take over as the devil's commander again?
I just happened to give him a great gift."
