150,000 oceans, the whole division's military salary for two months is only so much, the Eighth Route Army is about to leave when it opens its mouth, and its appetite is not ordinarily large.

This is no longer within the scope of the chief of staff who can make a decision, and he immediately decided to suspend the negotiations and return to the county seat to ask for instructions.

Jin Suijun was indeed in a hurry.

There is only enough food to eat for one day, and if the negotiations do not go well, everyone will be hungry tomorrow.

The chief of staff reappeared in front of Li Hao less than two hours after leaving, and like the previous negotiations, he got straight to the point and didn't say a word of nonsense.

"Head Li, the price of a private house compensating 30 yuan is too high. We have investigated, and the houses of ordinary people are worth more than a dozen oceans, and this is only a new house. We burned down the old houses that the villagers had lived in for a long time, and they were definitely not worth the price. ”

"We will compensate your army for a set of 10 oceans for a private house, a total of 50,000 oceans for your army, and we will give it to you when we withdraw to the edge of your army's base area."

Li Hao shook his head and refused: "The account can't be calculated like this." ”

"No matter whether you burn the old house or the new house, we have to build a new house for the villagers so that everyone can have a place to live, so the construction cost of these more than 5,000 houses must be paid by you."

"In addition, in addition to burning the house, you also left the furniture, clothing, and tools of the villagers at home...... It's all burned, shouldn't these things be accompanied? ”

"The two things add up, and it's very rare for a private house to ask you for thirty oceans."

The chief of staff's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, he didn't expect Li Hao to be so difficult.

Taking a deep breath, he forcibly suppressed the anger that was surging out of his heart and said: "Add five more oceans to each private house, a total of 75,000 oceans, which is equivalent to a month's military salary and living expenses of the main division, which is already a lot. ”

Li Hao knew that the other party was on the set, as long as the two sides started to bargain, they would definitely be able to compensate for each set of houses to twenty yuan.

Seeing that the chief of staff was relieved, Li Hao also relaxed: "Fifteen oceans is too little, for the sake of your army, it is really difficult, I can reduce the labor cost of the villagers to repair the houses." ”

"We dispatched local troops and guerrillas to help the villagers build houses, and each house was compensated at the rate of 25 oceans."

Seeing Li Hao's relief, the chief of staff of the Jin Sui Army also breathed a sigh of relief.

This shows that the specific compensation price is still negotiated.

Staring at Li Hao, he continued: "In this way, we will each take a step back and set the compensation standard at twenty oceans. ”

"As long as your army agrees, we will give money as soon as we leave your army's base area."

This is exactly the psychological price of Li Hao, of course he will agree.

But he didn't show it right away, and replied with a pretended embarrassed expression: "It's calculated according to the standard of twenty oceans, but I have a request." ”

"The time to pay the money cannot wait until your army leaves the base area."

"Only when we see 100,000 oceans can we open a passage and let your army safely withdraw from our base area."

"We can set the trading point in advance, your army will send cavalry to send the ocean over, we will meet at the trading point, if it is fast, we can complete the transaction tonight, and your army will be able to retreat tomorrow morning."

The Jin Sui army in the city is now a piece of meat on the chopping block of the garrison, without any bargaining capital.

The troops are their roots, and there must be no problems.

In the face of Li Hao's toughness, the chief of staff had no choice but to agree......

At five o'clock the next morning, the assault team received 100,000 oceans of compensation from the Jin Sui army on the edge of the base area.

This money was originally a reward for the Jin Sui army to successfully occupy Hunyuan City, but now that the mission fails, Hunyuan City will also give up, and the reward of 100,000 oceans will be gone.

Directly as compensation fell into the hands of the garrison.

Li Hao fulfilled his promise and sold 10,000 catties of grain to the Jin Sui army, and then cleared a road in the minefield outside the city, and watched the Jin Sui army withdraw from the base area in an orderly manner to prevent them from being cautious.

When the garrison regiment base was completely withdrawn, the additional food, weapons and ammunition in the theater were delivered just in place.

The division commander made meritorious service and commanded the troops to be stationed on the edge of the garrison base area, looking forward to having the opportunity to control Hunyuan again in the future.

In the division headquarters, the division commander's nerves, which had been tense for several days, were finally relieved, and he could lie quietly in his chair and think about problems.

For a few days, he was frightened by the endless methods of the Eighth Route Army.

There is no longer the idea of taking advantage of the Eighth Route Army, and now there is only one thought: to restore the damaged strength of the troops as soon as possible.

"Division, the troops we brought out of the garrison base area have been arranged, and the specific losses have been counted." The chief of staff came over and reported.

"Say, how many troops have we lost in the base area of the assault garrison regiment this time, how many wounded are there in the division now, and what is the overall combat effectiveness?" The division commander opened his eyes and asked.

He was now anxious to know his losses before he could find a way to regain his strength.

The chief of staff replied solemnly: "During the entire assault operation, a total of 2,216 officers and soldiers were missing in the whole division, including the mountain artillery battalion, the baggage battalion, the cavalry company, and all the officers and men below the commander of the self-battalion company, as well as two infantry companies, except for a few wounded, all the others were also missing. ”

"There are still 6,128 officers and soldiers left in the division commander, and after deducting the troops directly under the division headquarters, there are more than 1,600 people on average in the three regiments, and each regiment has 300 to 500 light and serious wounded."

"The only thing to be thankful for is that most of the wounded were able to recover and return to the team within half a month, and almost no soldiers left the team because of injuries."

A look of worry flashed on the division commander's face.

The losses were too great, equivalent to the loss of one-third of the division's combat effectiveness.

The raid on Hunyuan failed, and he was already very sorry for the commander-in-chief.

If we fail to make up for the losses as soon as possible and punish the two crimes together, we will definitely lose the position of division commander in the end.

Suddenly, he sat up from his chair and met the eyes of the chief of staff and asked, "Is the mountain artillery battalion that the theater promised to compensate us in place?" ”

The chief of staff nodded: "Twelve mountain cannons, sent along with the food and ammunition to replenish us." ”

"What about horses and cavalry equipment?" The division commander continued to ask.

The chief of staff replied: "The theater has drawn thirty war horses and supporting equipment from each of the two divisions of friendly neighbors to us, and let us figure out the rest of the horses and equipment by ourselves." ”

"In addition, we were replenished with five hundred rifles and ten light machine guns."

The division commander immediately made a decision: "Now that the equipment is available, the soldiers are missing." ”

"Chief of Staff, the first thing we need to restore now is the mountain artillery battalion, the baggage battalion, and the cavalry company."

"They are our heavy firepower units, mobile troops, logistics and transport units, which are indispensable at all times, and they are very important."

"After they are built, a few more regiments will be restored to full strength."

The chief of staff immediately agreed: "The division is wise, and the humble position also thinks the same." ”

"But the most difficult thing is also these troops, especially cavalry and artillery, they are all technical arms and must be specially trained before they can go to the battlefield."

"There is definitely no way to get it together in the division, so you can only find a way from the outside."

"However, these kinds of soldiers are also treasures in other troops, and if you want to dig them up, you must pay a lot of price, and you also have to deal with the commanders of your friends and neighbors, and ask for their consent."

"It's going to cost you more!" The division commander's face sank again.
