Chapter 64: Bargaining and Bargaining I

"Weapons and ammunition for veterans, this is a good idea" The chief of staff's eyes lit up at this time.

As the person in charge of the logistics of the whole division, the chief of staff saw a lot of hidden information in this letter.

For example, this independent regiment is preparing for a major expansion at this time, otherwise it will not require veterans, for example, the independent regiment at this time is definitely richer than they imagined, such as the independent regiment may even have a continuous way to replenish supplies.

"My Chief of Staff, what do you think of the price?" The division commander asked with a smile.

"The price was reasonable, 600 new 38 caps, 40 crooked handles, 40 grenadiers, 200,000 6.8mm rifle rounds, 5,000 grenade grenades, two 60 mortars plus 1,000 shells; Exchange these supplies for a hundred veterans, and they must be veterans with more than three years of experience."

The chief of staff nodded and continued.

"Very good business"

"Many soldiers are often injured or even sacrificed in order to save a few bullets, it is very cost-effective to exchange a hundred veterans for such a large amount of ammunition, this business can be done often, I can come forward to contact other divisions and transfer some veterans from them"

"Hahaha... It's good business," the division commander laughed suddenly, and then he said to the commander of the guard company.

"Assemble the Guard Company"

"Yes," the commander of the guard company immediately ran out of the headquarters.

"You go and inform the cavalry battalion of the division headquarters and let them assemble at the front gate," he then said to Xu Shun.

Xu Shun saluted and then ran to the location of the cavalry battalion.

"Let's go, let's go together to meet this big businessman, the trading place is a little far, the mule is too slow, let's ride there this time" The division commander took the lead and walked out of the headquarters.

······

It's late December.

A hidden place about thirty miles from the Cow Cliff Valley.

Zhang Lianshun took refuge here with a platoon of guards, a pistol commando, and a transport of mules and horses with thirty mules and horses, and a large pile of wooden boxes was placed in the open space behind them.

On all sides of the clearing, a new Czech style stood guard.

"It's snowing"

After directing everyone to stack the boxes, Zhang Lianshun felt the coldness that suddenly fell on his face, raised his head and looked into the sky, he saw the goose feather snow falling with the wind, and at the same time felt the biting chill that was spreading on his face.

China is classified as the north from the Qinling Mountains, and the northern winter during World War II was snow-white, unlike later generations, in this period when global warming was still budding, it was a norm to have more than ten degrees below zero.

Tightening the yellow tweed coat on his body, Master Zhang Da hid under a freshly built grass shed to avoid the wind and snow, the snow alone may not be too cold, and once mixed with the wind, even if he was wearing a heavy yellow coat, he could feel the biting cold.

Glancing at the box in the open space behind him, at this moment, the box painted with dark paint had begun to be covered with a thin layer of white snow, as if it was covered with a layer of white veil, and it was difficult to see clearly from a little distance.

At this rate, it would take a little while for the supplies to be covered in snow.

It seems that this heavy snow is also a bit of a benefit.

Grand Master Zhang couldn't help but think in his heart.

During this period, the occupied areas of the devils were based on railways as axes, highways as lines, and cities and towns as points, mainly controlling economically developed areas, while the countryside was still a blank area for devils' forces at this time.

Therefore, in order to ensure the safety of the materials, the material transportation route chosen by Commander Zhang Da was a mountain road, but considering that just in case, he still reduced the team for transporting materials, chose to transport them in batches many times, and then chose a hidden place to temporarily store materials and wait for the transportation team of the division headquarters.

First, the more difficult it is for the team to be discovered, and the more the team suffers losses when there is an accident.

About three hours later, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and then the cavalry battalion directly under the division headquarters finally arrived, and the brigade commander was in the lead.

"Yo, hello Zhang Da, the main head of the regiment."

As soon as they met, Zhang Lianshun ushered in the ridicule of the brigade commander.

"Good division commander, good brigade commander"

Zhang Lianshun hurriedly greeted him with a smile, and at the same time handed over his newly opened camel cigarettes.

"Yo, this is all American cigarettes"

Unceremoniously scooped up the whole packet, the brigade commander took out a cigarette himself, first sniffed it at the nose, and then handed it to the division commander and the division chief of staff and the long beard next to him.

"Well, authentic American camel cigarettes, haven't tasted it in a long time"

The division commander was also an old smoking gun, and instead of picking up the one handed by the brigade commander, he unceremoniously snatched the whole pack of cigarettes from the brigade commander's hand, and then sniffed it with his nose and let out a sigh.

"This is good, come, give the division commander, the brigade commander and the chief of staff each a box of camel cigarettes" Seeing that the cigarettes finally fell into the hands of the division commander, Zhang Da rubbed his hands and beckoned the soldiers behind him to hand over a whole few boxes of cigarettes.

"Zhang Lianshun, have you really become a rich man, or a rich man?"

Following the soldiers who were moving the supplies, the brigade commander saw the piles of supplies in the rear.

"The brigade commander smiled, I Lao Zhang is a big boss, he can only carry a hoe and a bayonet, where is the life of a rich man, I will send it to the division headquarters as soon as there are supplies?"

In the face of the brigade commander's words, Commander Zhang continued to smile on his face, and after that, he took the division commander and a few people to the place where the materials were stacked.

Touching the painted wooden ammunition box, the division commander glanced at the brigade commander and the chief of staff of the division headquarters at the same time.

The meaning of the division commander and the division chief of staff is very clear, although they are very satisfied with this than the business quotation, but they can't just pay for the merchant quote, doing business is a process, and the price must be bargained.

"Lian Shun, this is the convoy that ambushed the devil again? Are there big losses in the troops? ”

The brigade commander got straight to the point, directly and tactfully running to the topic.

Being able to exchange such a large amount of devil materials for veterans proves that the independent regiment is seriously lacking in personnel at this time, and the materials are extremely abundant, but the devil's materials are not goods in the shopping mall, and if you want to get it, you can use some violent means.

Could it be that the losses from fighting the devil are too great? But whether this capture is too much zero, the brigade commander is very puzzled.

"Recently, I picked up a big bargain for the devil," Zhang Lianshun's tone was a little mysterious.

He didn't explain too much about the brigade commander's temporary misunderstanding, his first letter was sent when Luo Yun's first wave of supplies had not yet been counted, so at the moment, the division headquarters did not know that he had multiplied the supplies several times, and it was even more unclear that the number of veterans he wanted had also doubled, and in order for the business to go smoothly, he also followed the brigade commander's wishes.

"The devil's wild brigade has really been wiped out?" The division commander remembered the information he had received not long ago and asked.

Although the Japanese army of a brigade of devils in Wanping City was completely wiped out, in the face of this kind of information that is too incredible, the division headquarters still maintains a skeptical attitude.

"Yes, and the supplies of the entire devil brigade are in our hands, but the main force fighting the devils is not us"

Grand Master Zhang nodded.

What he said was very profound, on the night when the devil's brigade was completely annihilated, he also led people to fight with the devils, and even captured the devil's high-powered artillery observation glasses and large-powered telescopes.

It's just that he ambushed the puppet army, and there were almost no casualties.
