The northern foot of Dabie Mountain, Longyuan Town.

After a 12-hour march, the 31st Division finally arrived at the rest place of the Second Army.

With twelve horsemen, an officer who looked like a lieutenant rode a tall horse and galloped towards Liangshanhao.

Shhhh

Seeing Liang Shanhao, the lieutenant jumped off his horse.

He gave a military salute to Liang Shanhao, and the lieutenant raised his voice and shouted: "Commander Chi, welcome the brothers of the 31st Division to return triumphantly!"

also gave a military salute to the lieutenant, and Liang Shanhao shouted: "Haha! Thank you! Thank you! Dare to ask Director Niu, are the medicines and bandages needed by the brothers ready? ”

Director Niu shouted in response: "Master Chi, please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief Sun has long ordered our logistics department to prepare enough medicines and bandages in Longyuan Town, in order to help the wounded heal their wounds!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Good! Or Mr. Sun is thoughtful about our 31st Division! ”

Director Niu shouted: "Commander Chi, you led the 31st Division in the retreat, repeatedly made combat exploits, and eliminated so many devils, if our logistics department doesn't do anything, then I'm really sorry for the brothers who fought bloodily on the front line!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Director Niu, I still have something to ask for?"

Director Niu shouted: "Master Chi, if you need help, as long as our logistics department can do it, I will definitely do it for you!"

Smiling slightly, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Director Niu, look, our brothers are tired from fighting for days, can you help my 31st Division procure some meat and soju, I want to treat my brothers!"

With a sad face, Director Niu shouted: "Commander Chi, it is necessary to reward the three armies, it's not that I don't want to do it, the key is that I don't have military funds in my hands!" The Ministry of Military Affairs has already owed us three months' salaries! ”

With a glaring of his eyes, Liang Shanhao shouted, "What? Lao Tzu and his brothers worked desperately on the front line, and the Ministry of Military Affairs failed to give the brothers enough military salaries to eat! How unreasonable! What did Mr. Sun say? Why don't you urge the chairman! ”

With a heavy sigh, Director Niu shouted: "Commander-in-Chief Sun has urged more than once or twice, but each time the chairman has shifted the responsibility for this matter to the turtle grandchildren of the Ministry of Military Affairs!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Damn, this is too unusual!" It seems that the problem of the tooth sacrifice can only be solved by itself! Director Niu, you should first go to Longyuan Town to prepare shelter for the wounded soldiers! The rest of our troops won't be in town! ”

Director Niu shouted, "Yes! But Master Chi, I'm already preparing for the big mansion for the division! ”

Waving his hand, Liang Shanhao shouted: "No, if we don't have to, we won't enter the town, so as not to disturb the people!" I'll be stationed outside the town tonight! The wounded, please! ”

Agreeing again, Director Niu returned to Longyuan Town with the wounded soldiers.

At this time, Liang Shanhao shouted to the chief of staff again: "Chief of staff, order all units to set up camp in the east of Longyuan Town and rest!"

Frowning slightly, the chief of staff shouted: "Division! Let's not go into the town, the brothers are tired and panicked! How can you rest in this wilderness! ”

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Lao Tzu has always been on par with Prince Yue, adhering to the principle of freezing to death without demolishing houses, starving to death without plundering, only in this way can our army survive better!"

The Chief of Staff shouted: "Yes! Herald, tell the battalions and companies to rest in the grove to the east! ”

……

The command room of the headquarters of the Second Army.

After more than three months of fighting, the Second Army finally got a precious opportunity to recuperate.

When fighting, it doesn't matter whether the troops have money or not, the key is to have enough guns and bullets.

But when it comes to recuperation, money is very important!

After exhausting battles, the tens of thousands of officers and men of the Second Army at this time had nothing but a good night's sleep, that is, a good meal.

In terms of eating and drinking, the soldiers' requirements are also very simple, just a bowl of meat, a glass of wine, and a puff of cigarettes.

But it was such a simple request, and as the supreme commander of the entire Second Army, Commander-in-Chief Sun still couldn't do it!

The reason for this is that the Ministry of Military Affairs is in arrears with the Second Army's military salaries.

If Commander-in-Chief Sun's troops were descendants of the Central Army, the salary would definitely arrive on time, but unfortunately the Second Army was the unpopular Northwest Army.

Pacing with his hands behind his back, Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted, "Chief of Staff! Has the Ministry of Military Affairs been in arrears of military salaries? ”

The chief of staff shouted: "I have urged it several times, but the Ministry of Military Affairs says that all units are tight, and our military salaries will have to wait a little longer!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "Damn, wait, wait, wait, my Second Army dares to be raised by my stepmother, just work and don't eat?"

During the Central Plains War, the Northwest Army, especially the troops of Commander-in-Chief Sun, defeated the Central Army.

Although it is now a fight against devils, and everyone has twisted into a rope from the surface, the chairman of the committee has suppressed the Northwest Army all the time, especially in terms of military salaries.

The chief of staff shouted: "General seat! The battle of Wuhan will start in half a month, and if you can't get enough rest in this half month, this battle will not be easy to fight at that time! ”

With a slight groan, General Sun shouted: "Chief of Staff, we can't let the brothers go hungry, you urge the Ministry of Military Affairs again, and send a telegram to the old commander in Wuhan, so that he can take care of us more!"

The chief of staff shouted, "Yes!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted again: "Has the 31st Division arrived at Longyuan Town?"

The chief of staff shouted: "We arrived at Longyuan Town in the morning, this time the 31st Division fought viciously for several rounds during the retreat, and there were many wounded!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted, "The wounded are all arranged, right?"

The chief of staff shouted: "Please rest assured, Director Niu has received an order and has already rushed to Longyuan Town with the medicine and health team for treatment!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "That's good! That's good! In this battle of Xuzhou, Chifeng City's headquarters fought the best, I really should treat the 31st Division well! It's a pity that I'm shy in my pocket! ”

The chief of staff shouted: "General seat, not to mention the meat and wine treatment, the supply of military rations for our group army can only support half a month, and the next military ration will be a problem!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun sighed and shouted, "Chief of Staff, we can't just rely on those big men from the Ministry of Military Affairs!" Do we have to figure out more on our own? Chief of Staff, is there any way you can raise money for your military pay? ”

The chief of staff shouted: "There are not many rich places in the Dabie Mountains, but it is not nothing, there is a Huaixi County near us, and the trade is quite developed, if we go there to collect donations, we should be able to raise a part of the military salary!"

Frowning slightly, General Sun shouted: "This method is not bad, but soldiers raise donations privately, which is a violation of the Army Law!"

The chief of staff smiled and exclaimed, "Can a living person suffocate urine to death?" We can dredge up with the county magistrate, I heard that the bandits in this area are very serious, maybe we can do something! ”

Raising his eyebrows, Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "This is a good idea, but our military spending is a big hole, and a Huaixi County can't solve the problem after all, the key is to urge the Ministry of Military Affairs!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Subordinates understand!"
