Chapter 281: Assassination (2)
It's a lively night, so many people? ”
Leng Jie looked at so many vehicles and horses in front of Yuelai Building, and was a little surprised.
There are certainly not many vehicles, because even if they are division commanders or army commanders, there are very few who can drive cars.
The high price is one reason, a Ford or Chevrolet car, at least 5,000 oceans.
Remember, not fiat currency.
At this time, the depreciation of the fiat currency has begun, the main reason is that the national government has insufficient financial resources, in order to support the huge military expenditure, a large number of fiat currency is printed, and the country's foreign exchange is not good, resulting in the depreciation of the fiat currency.
Before the war, 5,000 fiat currency was equal to 5,000 oceans, and it was estimated that it would be tens of thousands to buy a car.
At this time, the salary of a major general in the Chinese army was only more than 300 yuan per month, and it was about 4,000 yuan a year.
But it usually costs money, and the fiat currency depreciates, and it takes years to save enough money to buy a car, and the fiat currency may depreciate even more.
The general was only 800 yuan a month, but he could buy a car a year before the war.
In front of Yuelai Building at this time, except for Shang Zhen, the general, if anyone else bought a car, either the family had money, or they were corrupt and bribed, and military salaries were deducted, otherwise they would have no money to buy a car.
It's a pity that the national army is not strict about this, otherwise Leng Jie dares to bet on these people in front of him, at least half of them have problems.
"After all, it is a banquet for the chief of business, the generals of the 20th Group Army, as long as they can come, who dares not to come? Even if the chief merchant is not my central military descendant, after all, the qualifications and positions are there. Li Shuzheng said.
Don't look at Li Shu, who is from the seventh phase of Huangpu, but there is not much difference in age from Leng Jie, and the other party from a professional class is actually not familiar with the front-line war.
After graduating from Huangpu, Li Shuzheng was admitted to the Army University, and he entered the staff class, and he was also the right chief of staff.
"Okay, don't worry about that, let's go straight in, it's a star-studded night." Yang Wenjin smiled and said.
Soon, the adjutants of the three taught the people in charge of greeting each of the gifts they had prepared, and the adjutants stayed on the first floor to eat, while Leng Jie and the others went up to the second floor.
As soon as they reached the second floor, everyone found that the generals of the three armies under the jurisdiction of the 20th Group Army were clearly distinguished.
The 54th Army, which has the largest number of people, is undoubtedly the strongest, and the 54th Army, which has four divisions under its jurisdiction, can be described as strong and strong.
At this time, the 54th Army was under the jurisdiction of the 14th, 40th, 50th, and 198th divisions, of which the 14th Division originally belonged to the 18th Army sequence, which was a standard Central Army descendant unit, with excellent equipment, high quality of officers and soldiers, and great combat effectiveness;
The second is the 40th Division, which is composed of the rest of the Tax Police Corps and the Teaching Corps, after the first battle of Nanchang, no one dares to underestimate this unit, and it is well-equipped, not weaker than the 14th Division;
followed by the 50th Division, which was originally a local army, and was gradually inherited by the civil engineering system mastered by Chen Cheng, and its equipment combat effectiveness was slightly inferior to that of the 14th Division;
It can be said that these three divisions can be used as the main force if they get any of the troops.
The combat effectiveness of the 198th Division is average, because it is a newly formed unit formed by the Hunan Security Regiment.
In addition to the 54th Army, the 20th Army also had the 53rd Army and the 87th Army under its jurisdiction.
The 53rd Army is the Northeast Army, and the 87th Army is also a unit of the Civil Engineering Department, and the commander of the latter is called Zhou Xiangchu, who was in the Civil Engineering Department eight years ago.
It can be seen that the entire 20th Group Army is considered a civil engineering unit, and there is only one 53rd Army left, in this case, Huo Yuzhang naturally wants to seek the post of commander-in-chief of the group army.
"Wen Ying, Bo'an, this way!"
When Leng Jie and the others arrived, Huo Yuzhang, Chen Lie, Que Hanqian and others had already arrived, and it was Que Hanqian who called the two.
"Chief Huo, Chief Chen, Chief Que!" Leng Jie came to the front and saluted the three of them in turn.
"Sit down, your place is here." Chen Lie said with a smile.
This position is also exquisite, Huo Yuzhang is not at this table, but in the two tables of the 54th Army, one of the tables sits the army commander Chen Lie, the deputy army commander and several division commanders, but Leng Jie appeared at this table as a major general and deputy division commander.
"Bo'an, I heard that your son was born?" Since the banquet had not officially begun, Chen Lie was curious.
For Leng Jie, his contact still had to start with the Battle of Wuhan, at that time, it was because Leng Jie's pit and anti-slope tactics attracted his attention, of course, the other party thought that his defense was not very good.
The facts also proved that the dock town did not hold on for long before it fell, but in the fortress of Fuchikou, Leng Jie held on for many days.
The first battle of Nanchang made Leng Jie completely famous.
"Back to Chief Chen, it's been a few months, in Chongqing!" Leng Jie replied.
Speaking of that son, Leng Jie has only been with the other party for less than two months, and he doesn't know when the next time he will go back.
"I see! I didn't know you got married so early, otherwise I would have introduced you to one. Chen Lie said with a smile.
"Thank you Chief Chen for your kindness!" Leng Jie said politely.
Seeing that Chen Lie wanted to be a matchmaker, several other people were surprised, but when they thought of some things, some of them understood what was going on.
If it weren't for Leng Jie's great contribution in Nanchang, perhaps Huo Yuzhang would not have stepped down as the commander of the 54th Army.
It is precisely for this reason that Huo Yuzhang planned to fight for the post of commander-in-chief of the 20th Group Army, and he took the initiative to step down from the post of commander of the 54th Army.
Chen Lie also took over as the commander of the army, and also resigned from the positions of deputy commander of the 54th Army and commander of the 14th Division, so Que Hanqian was able to be transferred to the commander of the 14th Division.
Looking at it this way, Chen Lie naturally has a good impression of Leng Jie.
After a while, many guests also arrived one after another, in addition to the generals of the 20th Group Army, many local officials in Changde also came, including the director of the police station, and a deputy director, Tang Jiu.
For Tang Jiu, no one doubted that it would be a Japanese spy.
Perhaps out of curiosity, Tang Jiu glanced at Leng Jie.
Leng Jie's feeling was already sensitive, and when someone was watching him, he naturally noticed it, and finally found out that it was a policeman, although he was puzzled, he didn't think much about it.
。。。。。。
"Gentlemen, this mission is the person in the photo, his appearance has caused the empire to lose face, so we must get rid of him and save the face of the empire.
Remember, if the operation fails, you must commit suicide and not be captured by the Shina people. ”
Just when the restaurant was brightly lit and lively, on the way back to the 40th Division's station, eight or nine men in long robes were gathering together in a dark alley.
"Hey, Aoki-kun rest assured!"
"We'll pretend to be pedestrians to attack later, and if we fail, you will start a second round of operations by Second Lieutenant Naganomiya who pretends to be a patrol soldier in China, and you must get rid of Leng Jie."
"Hey!"
After a while, Lieutenant Aoki walked out of the dark alley with two men dressed in long robes, and in the alley, the rest of the people were changing their clothes.
If there is a bright light, you can see that the clothes that those people have changed into are the uniforms of the Chinese army.
