Chapter 124 Zhang Wanhe Wants to Rob Li Yunlong In the passage in the middle of Baihuling Canyon. In order to avoid Japanese aircraft bombing, as well as transportation and quantity issues, the equipment captured by the Pioneer Regiment was not transported to the arsenal on the mountain for storage. Instead, they were piled directly on the open space below the canyon. At this moment, Zhang Wanhe, the head of the Eighth Route Army's logistics department, was waiting in the outer area of the canyon with a battalion of soldiers and a large number of carts. After Qin Yangming walked out of the canyon, he went straight towards Zhang Wanhe. "Minister Zhang, long time no see." When Zhang Wanhe saw Qin Yangming coming out, he excitedly went to greet him. "Oh, Xiao Qin, you are being so formal. Tsk tsk tsk, the last time we met, you were still the battalion commander. I didn't expect that you would become the regiment commander so soon." As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. It turns out that Zhang Wanhe's attitude is quite good.
Qin Yangming did not keep the secret and directly said to Zhang Wanhe: "Minister Zhang, is it necessary for you to personally show up to hand over the equipment?" "You are worried about me. Are you suspecting that I am playing tricks?" Zhang Wanhe quickly waved his hand after hearing Qin Yangming's words. "Xiao Qin, look at what you are saying." "Why would I doubt you? Even if I doubt myself, I will never doubt you." "I'm here not only to hand over the equipment of the Vanguard Regiment, but also the equipment of the Independent Regiment." Seeing that Qin Yangming seemed to have misunderstood something, Zhang Wanhe quickly explained to Qin Yangming. He was so fond of Qin Yangming that how could he possibly doubt him? The military commanders of other troops all tried every means to take something away from him. He refused to give it, and his old comrades who came with him from his hometown said that he was an old rich man from Shanxi - a stingy person. The only exception is Qin Yangming. Not only did he not take anything from the Logistics Department, he also sent a lot of things to the Logistics Department. Especially those mechanical equipment. With that batch of mechanical equipment, the Logistics Department's arsenal finally looked somewhat presentable. Although it cannot be mass-produced due to material problems, at least the products produced are guaranteed. Repaired weapons will not suddenly explode in the hands of soldiers. It had been a long time since he was scolded by those regiment commanders because of the explosion of repaired weapons sent by the logistics department, which resulted in injuries or even deaths of soldiers. Now all military commanders say that the weapons produced and repaired by the logistics arsenal are not as good as those of the Japanese, but they are quite good to use.
The days when bullets flew less than fifty meters and then hit the ground were a thing of the past. "I'm not worried about any problems with you, Xiao Qin. I'm worried about your old captain." "In the past, the brigade commander went in person to request the equipment, and Lao Li didn't dare to do anything. But now, my logistics department directly hands it over to him. If I just send someone to receive the equipment, I was worried that not only would we fail to retrieve the equipment, but we would also lose people.” Zhang Wanhe told Qin Yangming the real purpose of his visit. That's right, he was worried that that bastard Li Yunlong would try to replace the original with the fake. Listening to what Zhang Wanhe said, Qin Yangming nodded to show his understanding, and then invited Zhang Wanhe to have dinner together. ... The handover of supplies between the Logistics Department and the Pioneer Regiment went very smoothly, and the soldiers who came to transport the supplies not only had their fill at the Pioneer Regiment. Moreover, Qin Yangming lent the vanguard regiment's mule and horse company to Zhang Wanhe for the purpose of transporting equipment, temporarily resolving the problem of insufficient transportation capacity of the logistics department. However, when Zhang Wanhe brought the remaining transport team to Shiquan County to prepare for the handover of supplies with the Independent Regiment, things did not go so smoothly. After Li Yunlong learned that Zhang Wanhe's logistics department was directly responsible for the handover of equipment, he immediately started to have some ideas. Although the brigade commander said how much equipment had to be handed over, the number was there, and even if Li Yunlong had a hundred guts he would not dare to hand over less than a single gun. However, the number of equipment reported by Li Yunlong was somewhat inflated. Although the battlefield was cleaned up, most of the equipment was registered. However, some equipment seized from landlords, traitors and Japanese deserters have not yet been registered. Especially those weapons and equipment damaged on the battlefield, the brigade commander did not require Li Yunlong to hand them over. It is within the range of being able to be handed in or not. After all, the independent regiment had seized so much equipment, and was about to go to the front line, so it was reasonable for it to have some reserve weapons. But Zhang Wanhe was eyeing the weapons in Li Yunlong's hands. Zhang Wanhe was very clear about how big the weapons gap of the Eighth Route Army was. He wished he could take the parts of two guns out of a broken gun. The independent regiment must have gained the most this time, and a large number of weapons must have been damaged. Zhang Wanhe's goal was to get this batch of damaged weapons from Li Yunlong. The quantity was secondary. The most important thing was to find a way out from Li Yunlong. The entire 129th Division knew that Li Yunlong was a stingy guy. If Li Yunlong could hand over a batch of damaged weapons and equipment, it would be much easier when the time comes to hand over weapons to other regiments. You see, even a stingy guy like Li Yunlong handed over all his equipment to the logistics department. I didn’t expect that you are even stingier than Li Yunlong. Moreover, Li Yunlong not only handed over so many good equipment, but also took the initiative to hand over the damaged equipment to the logistics department. What about you? "Minister, how about I go with you?" Zhang Wanhe's guard spoke with some concern when he heard Zhang Wanhe say that he would go to find Li Yunlong in person.
"What are you afraid of? Can Li Yunlong eat me?" "He and I are from the same hometown after all. He won't do anything to me." Zhang Wanhe waved his hand, indicating that the guards did not need to follow. "Well, it's not just about the equipment, but also the uniforms..." "Last year, the troops didn't have enough winter clothes. Many soldiers got frostbite because they didn't have cotton-padded clothes. Lao Li killed so many Japanese soldiers, so he must have seized a lot of their uniforms." After entering Shiquan County, Zhang Wanhe looked at the Eighth Route Army uniforms and other equipment worn by the soldiers of the Independent Regiment, which were made by changing the colors of the Japanese uniforms, and wondered how he should get something from Li Yunlong. The more I thought about Zhang Wanhe, the more ashamed I felt. As the Minister of Logistics, his duty is to provide logistical support for the entire Eighth Route Army. However, now not only is he unable to supply the entire unit, but the troops are also required to hand over the captured equipment to him for distribution. Thinking of this, Zhang Wanhe felt that he had lost all his face. If Qin Yangming had not sent a batch of mechanical equipment to enable the logistics department to have a good equipment production capability, Zhang Wanhe would really not have the face to come to Li Yunlong to ask for things.
