Predator Reborn

Chapter 345 Blackmail

"Haha, division commander, our Chairman Chiang Kai-shek finally bowed his head. I really didn't expect that... Look, this is the telegram we just received from Chongqing. Because the two armies of *** have fallen into a situation of hunger and cold.

, Chiang Kai-shek asked our *** division to send 50,000 kilograms of grain to each army, and then return to their bases to continue fighting against the Japs." Looking at the telegram in his hand, political commissar Luo Ronghuan said with excitement.

"Haha, one hundred thousand kilograms of grain is what Chiang Kai-shek asked us to give, so can we give it to him? Besides, the grains without perseverance in our hands were all snatched from the hands of the little devils by the soldiers with their blood.

It was he who snatched someone away from the kid. The communications staff replied to Chairman Chiang: Chairman, our *** division went through a large-scale raid by the Japanese army a month ago and experienced the attack on the Japanese Fifth Division.

The regiment's ambush battle and the Taiyuan battle caused very serious losses to the troops. In particular, the ammunition and food reserves of the troops were almost exhausted. At present, our army's *** division has withdrawn from the entire eastern Shanxi area in accordance with the order of the Military Commission.

There is no extra rations to supply the troops of the two armies. Please forgive me, Chairman... The commander of the *** Division, Liu Hua... send it out as follows." Liu Hua ordered with a smile.

"Commander, what are you saying...didn't we just earn 500,000 jins of grain? Even if we give them 100,000 jins, there are still 400,000 jins left." After listening to Liu Hua's words, the political commissar asked in confusion.

.

"Political Commissar, you just want to send me away with the 400,000 kilograms of grain, haha. It's too little. What I want are all the heavy weapons of these two armies and those excellent soldiers. Don't let so many good soldiers go to fight the little Japs.

, but they were used to fight the civil war. I really can’t understand Chiang Kai-shek. As for the light weapons in their hands, all of which are made in China, I still don’t like them? You don’t even think about it, it took a lot of effort to come to our base area, and we spent a lot of money on it.

With so much manpower and material resources being transferred to the people, how can they not leave anything behind?" Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Haha, sure enough, the chief of staff is right, you are indeed a profiteer. And you are an omnipotent profiteer. You dare to blackmail even Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of Chongqing. I really admire you.

." After hearing Liu Hua's answer, the political commissar suddenly understood and replied with a sinister smile on his face.

"Chairman, it seems that the entire incident was entirely the hand of Liu Hua. Now he is taking advantage of the situation and wants to negotiate terms with us..." Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi, who had been waiting for a call back in the conference room. See*

When the nurse called back, I immediately fell into deep thought.

"Nang Xipi, this Liu Hua is so audacious that he dares to blackmail the government. Jiansheng, no, no matter what, you can't give them ammunition... Giving them ammunition is like raising a tiger for trouble. I firmly disagree." After hearing what Bai Chongxi said.

, Chiang Kai-shek's eyes suddenly showed a murderous look, staring closely at Bai Chongxi in front of him, and immediately objected.

"Principal, please calm down, the students have something to say..." Looking at Chiang Kai-shek who was about to lose control of his mood, Chen Cheng couldn't help but frown and quickly stood up.

"Say..." Chiang Kai-shek hummed.

"Yes, principal. What I want to say is that if we don't give the *** division ammunition, the troops of our two armies will have no food and grass, and a mutiny will eventually occur, eventually causing the troops to disperse. And when the time comes,

These rebels in the Japanese division's defense area will ultimately be cheaper than the Japanese division." Seeing that Chiang Kai-shek was listening to his explanation attentively, Chen Chang continued his analysis.

"At this time, as long as the *** division takes the opportunity to dispatch and recruit rebel soldiers on a large scale. In the end, not only the weapons and ammunition, but also the 40,000 troops will be theirs. Therefore, the students believe that instead of letting the *** division develop like that

To grow stronger, it is better to send them some ammunition to bring back the troops of the two armies." Chen Cheng quickly expressed his thoughts.

"Niang Xipi, I originally wanted to plot against the *** division, but I didn't expect that the *** division was plotted by the *** division in the end. This time, the *** division was taken advantage of. Call the *** division back. The two armies

Weapons and ammunition, they can take whatever they like, but they must not damage the combat effectiveness of the two armies." Chiang Kai-shek ordered with a depressed look.

"Commander, political commissar, good news, Chairman Chiang Kai-shek from Chongqing has called back..." Less than ten minutes after Liu Hua and the political commissar sat in the headquarters, the communications staff officer held up a copy with excitement on his face.

The telegram was sent to the headquarters.

"Political Commissar, if nothing else happens, we will definitely win this time. Chiang Kai-shek must have agreed to my request and sent us weapons and ammunition." Listening to the excited voice of the communications staff officer, Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Commander Wang, we won't read Chiang Kai-shek's telegram. Just read it and let me and the political commissar know..." Looking at the communications staff officer whose face was red with excitement, Liu Hua ordered with a smile.

"Yes, division commander, political commissar... Since the *** Division achieved victory in annihilating the Japanese Fifth Division and capturing Taiyuan, the whole news has spread all over the country, and the entire *** people are celebrating it, and their prices have greatly increased.

It strengthened the determination of the Chinese people to fight against the Japanese invaders. In order to reward the two great victories achieved by the *** Division, with the approval of the Military Commission, a special reward... All the above materials and equipment can be collected directly from the departments of Shi Yousan and Zhu Huaibing...

The Republic of China... Chiang Kai-shek..." The communications staff officer finished reading the telegram in his hand with excitement on his face.

"Commander, I never thought that Chiang Kai-shek, who has always been so generous to our Eighth Route Army, would be so generous. Five thousand rifles, 100 light machine guns, 50 heavy machine guns..." I heard the telegram from the communications staff.

Content, the political commissar opened his mouth and replied in disbelief.

"Haha, political commissar, you are mistaken. This is not Chiang Kai-shek's generosity. It is Chiang Kai-shek's fear that these 40,000 troops will disperse due to lack of food and be directly reorganized by us. With just these few weapons,

In my opinion, it is like sending a beggar away. No, the communications staff is sending a report to Chiang Kai-shek, saying that our department has suffered serious losses in personnel and strength after two wars. Please ask the chairman of the committee for approval to provide our department with 5,000 new recruits.

.." Liu Hua ordered loudly without any hesitation.

"Yes, Commander..."

"Commander, I just want weapons, but I want new soldiers. Can Chiang Kai-shek agree?" The political commissar opened his mouth and looked in disbelief at the confident division commander Liu Hua in front of him.

"Political Commissar, do you think five thousand recruits are more important, or 40,000 troops?" Looking at the still stunned political commissar, Liu Hua explained with a smile.

"Haha, I understand, Commander, I have to say, you are really a profiteer..." After hearing Liu Hua's answer, the political commissar immediately reacted and laughed loudly. Sure enough, a few minutes later, Commissar Chiang from Chongqing

Sure enough, the commander promised to add 5,000 new soldiers from the two armies to the *** division.

"Political Commissar, we have also extorted what should be extorted. Now it is our turn to take action. Guards, immediately notify Director Wang of the Logistics Department and ask him to receive a day's rations for 20,000 people from the 500,000 kilograms of military rations just seized.

Come out, I have an urgent need." Liu Hua ordered loudly to the guard at the door.

"Yes, division commander..." The guard turned around to convey the order.

"Political commissar, there is another task that you need to complete personally." Looking at the leaving guards, Liu Hua said to the political commissar who was still immersed in joy beside him.

"Ah, division commander, if you have any tasks, please arrange them..." Upon hearing Liu Hua's words, the political commissar immediately reacted.

"Chiang Kai-shek promised to send me 5,000 new soldiers. If nothing else happens, the 5,000 people will be old, weak, sick and disabled. Therefore, we still need to select the 5,000 people ourselves. Your task is to bring all the political cadres and follow

I will go with you to meet this friend San for a while and recruit people from his army. You must remember that soldiers are ruffians, smokers, and are afraid of hardship... none of these are required." Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Commander, don't worry. As long as I'm here, I will definitely get you five thousand capable soldiers..." The political commissar nodded with deep understanding and said with confidence.

"Okay, then let's get ready and set off in an hour to meet our good friend, Commander Sanshi." Liu Hua said with the same joy.

Soon, with the assistance of a large number of troops, more than 10,000 kilograms of grain were loaded on ten taxis in just ten minutes. Liu Hua, on the other hand, took nearly a hundred outstanding people with him.

Political workers and an elite guard group escorted ten large vehicles out of the hiding place of the troops. Along the winding mountain road, they slowly drove towards the Central Army garrison a few kilometers away.

"Reporting to the military seat, you are really right. The *** Division is right beside us. Just now the lookout post reported that a group of Eighth Route Army pulled ten carts of food and drove towards the army in a mighty manner.

." Seeing Army Commander Shi Yousan who had been sitting quietly in the headquarters, the deputy commander quickly reminded him.

"It's coming so soon. Come with me to greet..." After hearing the word "food", Shi Yousan jumped up from the camp bed and walked quickly to the entrance of the military camp. At the same time, he also picked up

He picked up the telescope that had been hanging in front of him and began to observe. However, everyone, including Army Commander Shi Yousan, was disappointed. This Eighth Route Army only brought ten carts of food, and according to his own estimation, these ten carts of food were only

It can feed your troops for a whole day."

"Deputy Commander, what's going on? Why did you just transport us exactly ten trucks of military rations? This amount of food is just a drop in the bucket for our 20,000-strong army..." Seeing ***

Commander Shi Yousan frowned and asked the deputy commander beside him.

"Military seat, I don't know either. I understand, *** must be thinking about those weapons and new recruits. They are afraid that we will return halfway, so they only brought ten carts of food to let us survive the current difficulties.

It must be like this." Suddenly thinking of the weapons and ammunition that the Chongqing telegram asked him to prepare for the *** division, the deputy commander immediately reacted.

"Well, I hope so. They are coming. Let's go there." Shi Yousan nodded and led the guard battalion slowly towards the approaching convoy.

"Report to Commander Shi, I am Liu Hua, Commander of the *** Division. Following the order of Chairman Chiang Kai-shek of Chongqing, I came to receive the base area, weapons and prisoners. This is a huge amount that I have raised for your army in one day. Please ask Shi Jun

The commander will send someone to receive it." Seeing the third friend in front of him, Liu Hua walked over, gave a symbolic military salute, and reminded loudly.

"So you are the famous *** Division Commander Liu Hua... Haha, you are so young and promising. I never thought that you could achieve such great results at such a young age. You are really formidable. Please rest assured, Commander Liu, everyone

The weapons and ammunition as well as the new recruits have been prepared. But, what about the 50,000 kilograms of grain that Division Commander Liu and Chairman Chiang requested to send to our department? How come we only see about 10,000 kilograms of grain..." Shi Yousan was taking pictures while

Flattery, he said while pointing at the ten carts following Liu Hua.

"Um, food. I forgot to tell Commander Shi that since our army has withdrawn from eastern Shanxi in accordance with Chairman Chiang's order, we can only gather so much food for a while. But I have already sent a telegram.

, a large amount of military rations will be shipped in one day, Commander Shi, please forgive me. Look, can we check and accept this batch of equipment..." Liu Hua waved his hand and turned around the ten large trucks behind him.

The food was handed into ***'s hands and he explained with a smile.

"Haha, Commander Liu, let's check and accept these equipment now..." Shi Yousan smiled bitterly in his heart, ordered the soldiers to temporarily receive only one day's worth of food, and said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, then ask Commander Shi to lead the way..." Seeing the stiff smile on Shi Yousan's face, Liu Hua didn't say anything and still said with a smile on his face.

"Okay, Master Liu, please go this way..." Soon, under the leadership of my friend San and his friends, they came to an open space full of weapons and ammunition. I saw piles of rifles and light machine guns, one after another.

The heavy machine guns with blue light were neatly placed on the huge flat ground. As for the boxes of ammunition, they were piled up like a hill.

"Commander Liu, would you like to send someone to count these weapons and ammunition? I followed Chairman Chiang's order and there is not a single bullet missing..." Seeing the weapons and ammunition piled up like a hill, Shi Yousan felt a pang of regret.

You know, in this era of violence, having a gun is better than anything else, but seeing almost a division's worth of weapons and ammunition given away for no reason, can it not make people feel heartbroken?

"Haha, how could I not believe Commander Shi? But, Commander Shi, I want to make a deal with you here. I wonder if you are willing?" Looking at Shi Yousan with heartache on his face, Liu

Hua said with a smile.

"Deal? If Master Liu has anything to say, just say it." Shi Yousan, who was already heartbroken about losing so much ammunition, heard Liu Hua's answer and saw the smile on Liu Hua's face, and replied very unhappy.

"Yes, it's a deal. Commander Shi, I know that in this troubled world, as long as you have a gun, you have everything. So how can I bear to take away so much of Commander Shi's equipment? So, I want to make a deal with Commander Shi.

I want to make a deal, and as long as the deal is successful, I promise, I don’t want any of these weapons and ammunition." Liu Hua said with certainty.

"Ah... what you said is true... you really don't want these weapons and ammunition..." The first person to react was the deputy commander who was following Shi Yousan and couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Haha, Mr. Liu, I think the price must be very high to be able to trade so many weapons and ammunition! Mr. Liu, let's hear it. I, Shi, am all ears..." After hearing the piles of weapons and ammunition in front of Liu Hua,

Although Shi Yousan was equally excited about guns and ammunition, his reason told him that this transaction was very unusual.

"Commander Shi, you're welcome. I heard that Commander Shi has an air defense battalion equipped with 12 anti-aircraft machine guns and six anti-aircraft guns. So, I want to use these equipment to replace the equipment of this air defense battalion.

.The other thing is all the grenades in Commander Shi’s army. Finally, there is the most important thing, which is the 2,500 recruits that Chairman Chiang promised to give me. I want my people to go to Commander Shi’s army and select them on their own.

, and I am selecting 4,000 soldiers. But Commander Shi, please rest assured, I will definitely not select squad-level officers in Commander Shi’s army." Looking at Shi Yousan, who was deep in thought, Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Commander Liu, it seems that you are interested in my air defense battalion and soldiers. However, this decision cannot be made by me alone. Please wait for a while, Commander Liu, and I will discuss it with my subordinates..."

After hearing Liu Hua's decision, Shi Yousan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still said without changing his expression.

"Okay, I'm just waiting for the good news from Commander Shi." Liu Hua said with a smile.

"Commander, you really don't want these weapons and ammunition. This is the equipment of two regiments..." Looking at Shi Yousan and a group of *** officers leaving, the political commissar hurried to Liu Hua's side.

, asked in disbelief.

"Political Commissar, although these equipment are very good, our *** division uses Japanese-style equipment. There is no use in bringing back so many weapons and ammunition. They can only be used as inventory. Also, the ammunition of these equipment has been used up.

What should we do? What we lack now is not weapons and ammunition, but excellent soldiers. As for their air defense battalion, I have long been interested in it, especially the six anti-aircraft guns." Liu Hua smiled.

explained.

"I understand, division commander, don't worry, I will bring you the best soldiers when the time comes..." After hearing Liu Hua's answer, the political commissar nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, political commissar, when the time comes to recruit troops, as long as they are willing to join our *** division and are qualified in all aspects, I will accept them. The more, the better." Liu Hua nodded and looked at this person.

The third group of friends walking by gave instructions in a low voice.
