Chapter Eighty-Six: The Idea of Recruitment
When the Japanese army hurriedly gathered the first batch of supplies and sent them to Thirty Mile Fort, the Japanese convoy was intercepted by the crossing patrol on the bank of the Anzi River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoKong Heng took the heavy engineer squad with various explosive disposal equipment and conducted several inspections on this batch of materials on the bank of the Anzi River. The results showed that the horses were not carrying anything other than grain and cloth.
This time the crowd was stunned again, what kind of fuss are the Japanese, five tons of grain and cloth are really piled up there, in order to cover their attack, as for deducting supplies from between their teeth like this? If you really want to pay full compensation according to the list of extortion from the cross-section, the Japanese estimate that this time they will have to deduct all their teeth and flesh, which is 50 tons of grain, 300 batches of cotton cloth and a lot of sundries. After writing the list, the logistics buddy himself shook his head, even if he forced people and dogs to jump over the wall, this blackmail list was a bit excessive.
But the devil really sent it, is this the rhythm that the year is not going to end? These grains were to be distributed according to one pound per person per day, which was enough for all the officers and men of the Second Army of the Japanese Army to eat for a full ten days. The key is not only the question of quantity, the requirement of the crossing is to complete the compensation in ten batches, that is, to complete the transportation of these grains from Huayuankou to Thirty Mile Fort within 40 days, which is an even worse blow to the already overwhelmed logistics of the Japanese army.
In line with the principle that it is Sun Tzu who does not accept benefits, Zhao Yi sent an M35 military vehicle to receive these supplies. Even if it was a sugar-coated cannonball from the Japanese, the crossers would have to lick the candy clean and return the cannonball. The great leader said that when you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart. If the Japanese really sent all 50 tons of grain in order to confuse the traversers, then Zhao Yi and they would wake up laughing in the middle of the night. Confuse us? Just kidding, in the 21st century, primary school textbooks in China have begun to teach the Japanese that they are cunning and shameless, and that primary school students will not eat the set you are confused about.
When the Japanese officers who led the team watched the Japanese soldiers who were commanding the soldiers to pile up the food and cloth on the M35 military card, they felt that the bigwigs of the Second Army had made the right choice to compromise this time.
Someone else loaded all the grain that their horse team had brought in two days after a truck, and the speed of the truck was many times faster than that of the pack horse team. How to fight this battle, people only need to drag you to logistics, and they can drag you to death. With this kind of truck, which is comparable to the capacity of a train car, as a means of transportation, the First Volunteer Brigade can completely open up battlefields everywhere, and the trucks do not need to travel on the tracks. At that time, the Japanese army will be able to make itself half-paralyzed just by sending supplies to various battlefields, and what kind of battle will it mention.
Overloading is not an uncommon thing for the Chinese people one hundred and twenty years later, and the only one who dares to compete with the Chinese people in the world in this regard is A Sange. However, the third brother's overload capacity is all-round, from small motorcycles to large trains, which can be called a nation, so let's let him be the first once.
The M35 military truck was obviously overloaded, and it was piled up with grain and cloth, and it rode back to the base in the green paint area under the surprised eyes of the Japanese army.
"Lao Lu, what is this devil thinking, the eldest lady will just talk casually, why did they really send so much food, this is not scientific, I am a little worried, will it be poisonous." Zhao Yi asked people to store this batch of grain in a separate place.
"yes, I think it's too abnormal. I originally expected that the Japanese army would give all kinds of excuses to delay the delivery of supplies, but I didn't expect them to really send them. However, with so much food, it would be difficult for them to release poison, and there must be hundreds of bags here. Lu Xiangyang was also puzzled by the fact that the Japanese army had sent supplies so quickly.
"Where to use all the poison, as long as there are a few packets of food that are poisonous, we will eat enough to choke. I knew that we would want the silver, so that we could ask for the money at once, lick the shell of the sugar-coated cannonball for him at one time, and don't care what tricks he plays in the future. Da Chen Yongqing said.
"Where can you buy food if you have money, except for the Japanese army, no one in the entire Liaodong Peninsula has extra food. Besides, what are we afraid of poison, we have hundreds of piglets that can be used to test drugs, and we can draw a little food from each packet, give it to the prisoners of war first, and make a good record. What's the big deal. Lu Xiaobei didn't care about the idea that the Japanese army would poison the grain.
"It is also true that we originally asked for food in the name of providing supplies for prisoners of war, and if there is a problem with food, it is their own sin, and it is none of our business." Feng Yunyi shrugged and said.
"Old Lu, this Japanese won't really give us all fifty tons of grain, right?" Zhao Yi still felt that something was wrong.
"It looks like it's going to give it all, you think, the devils haven't made a big move until now, and it looks like it's going to take a long time for them to deploy troops to attack us. We used to overestimate the logistical supply capabilities of this era. It seems that in this era, both the mobilization of troops, the build-up and the transfer of materials are much slower than we estimated. Lu Xiangyang said.
The fact is that the Japanese did not do this work at all. The arrogant attitude towards Zhao Yi and MissFox convinced the Japanese army base camp that the Great Song Empire was one of the great powers that wanted to get a piece of the pie in the Sino-Japanese War. Even if there is a dispute among the top echelons of the Japanese army, it is just a debate about the real existence of the Great Song Empire or whether they were lackeys who were pushed to the stage by foreign powers to take prey.
The Japanese base camp completely agreed with General Oyama Yan's judgment that it was better to add them to the guest list of the post-war banquet than to spend resources and troops to fight against the First Volunteer Brigade.
Now the battle between the Japanese army and the Qing army is in a stalemate, although the balance of victory has already tilted in favor of the Japanese, but the victory has not fallen into the pocket steadily, who can rest assured?
The addition of such an opponent as the Great Song Empire for no reason added variables to this war in which the Japanese gambled on the fortunes of the country, which the high-level leaders did not want to see.
If Zhao Yi and the others knew the true thoughts of the Japanese army, they would definitely not be complacent about the fifty tons of grain they had stolen. But then again, the iron has to be hard, and this imaginary Great Song Empire can't support the confidence of the people at all, so write down fifty tons of grain, and the logistics buddies feel that they are whimsical.
"Lao Lu, if there are really fifty tons of grain, should we consider recruiting some soldiers by ourselves, forming a servant army or something, I see that the people in the vicinity have been running to us recently, picking up some odd jobs, selling some seafood or something. It doesn't seem to be very repulsive to us, what do you think of me? "Sure enough, I have food in my hand, and I don't panic in my heart, this fifty tons of grain is only one-tenth of it, and Zhao Yi's brain is alive.
"It's worth a try, but we don't have much money to pay for the silver-haired army, and the six hundred taels of silver that Lian Shun compensated last time gave the Military Intelligence Department one hundred taels as a fund, and we have five hundred taels left." Lu Xiangyang was worried that he would not be paid.
"Yo, Lao Lu, you should be the executive committee to give us a lot of one hundred taels of silver. The MI has long been self-financed, and you don't need to allocate any more funds, so don't keep talking about the hundred silver. Let others know that the Royal Naval Intelligence Department of the Great Song Dynasty was funded by one hundred taels of silver when it was established, and this black history cannot be washed away. Lu Xiaobei said.
"Hey, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong. We don't have any cash now, so I'm afraid it's hard to recruit troops. Lu Xiangyang hurriedly added.
"Lao Lu, you don't know the price of food in Jinzhou City now, what kind of cash is used to pay military salaries, and it works better than that thing with food. You post the recruitment notice, and I promise that a lot of people will sign up. In the years of war and chaos, some people are willing to eat this bowl of severed rice. Although you may die as a soldier, you will definitely die if you don't have anything to eat. "Lu Xiaobei is the person who knows the outside world the most in the green paint area.
