Dabie Mountain, Paradise Village, Headquarters of the 32nd Group Army. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Wan Xiangyun, commander-in-chief of the 32nd Group Army, has been quite annoyed recently, because it is about to come to the day of the salary, although the military salary of the Nationalist Army has been reduced again and again, from the initial eight yuan per month, to four yuan of legal currency per month, and then from four yuan of legal currency to three yuan of legal currency, and two yuan two months ago.

But even if it is reduced to two pieces, more than 70,000 people in a group army will be 140,000 yuan!

This is only for soldiers, and the military salaries of seven or eight thousand officers are almost 100,000 yuan!

This is only a month, and what is worse is that the six divisions under the 32nd Group Army have not been paid for eight months, and although the 32nd Group Army has just been formed, these six divisions are all in the original structure, and now they are assigned to the 32nd Group Army, and these arrears will naturally be handed over to him Wan Xiangyun to solve.

When the letter of appointment was issued, Minister Ho made it clear that he would settle the arrears.

In other words, from the day he took office, he Wan Xiangyun owed two million military salaries!

But now, the 32nd Group Army can't even take out 3,000 legal currency in its account, of course, Wan Xiangyun's small treasury is very easy to take out 180,000, but he Wan Xiangyun is an official, mainly to make a fortune, how can he take out his private wealth and confiscate the family's salary? What's more, even if he donates a small treasury, 100,000 fiat currency can't withstand the ball, and even a month's military salary can't make up for it, what's the use?

Because the military salary has not been settled, Wan Xiangyun has been very anxious these days.

Seeing that Wan Xiangyun's brows were tightly knit and it was difficult to swallow breakfast, Li Motang asked with concern: "Boss, are you not feeling well?" Don't catch a cold, right? ”

"Catch a cold?" Wan Xiangyun smiled bitterly and said, "I'm worried about military salaries." ”

"Military pay?" Li Motang nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow will be the day of the salary again." ”

"But the army group has no money in its account." Wan Xiangyun said, "Brother Motang, why don't we sell some more military rations and send this month's salary first?" If this salary is always in arrears, it will inevitably affect the morale of the troops, and if the morale does not rise, the combat effectiveness will not rise, and it will not be a matter for a long time. ”

"Selling grain?" Li Motang said, "Boss, no." ”

After a pause, Li Motang said again: "The military salary can't be paid, the brothers can complain a few words at most, after all, there is no money, life is still the same, but if the trouble is so bad that you can't even eat, it will be serious, the mutiny is still light, and it is troublesome to surrender to the enemy, especially after Wang Jingwei's treason, there are already many armed defectors behind enemy lines!" ”

Just a week ago, Wang Jingwei left Chongqing, secretly fled Vietnam, and on the way out of Hanoi, he published the infamous "Yan Dian", advocating compromise with Japan and open treason! Wang Jingwei's defection caused a great bruise to the morale of the anti-Japanese fighters of the army and the people throughout the country, and for a time, capitulationism was very loud.

Especially on the battlefield behind enemy lines, anti-Japanese armed forces surrendered to the enemy every day.

"Can't even eat?" Wan Xiangyun said, "Brother Motang, it shouldn't be like this, right?" Isn't it only been less than two months since the autumn grain was levied, I remember you told me at the beginning, this year's year is not bad, and the autumn grain collected is enough to support until the end of next year, why is it so fast to be unable to eat? ”

Li Motang said with a wry smile: "General, don't you look at how much our group army spends, just the big item of cotton clothes for the winter, almost half of the food stocks are consumed, in addition, the office expenses of the various units of the group army, the ammunition supply of each division, all need money, where does this money come from?" We all have to sell the grain for cash, even if we have a Taicang, we can't afford this kind of consumption. ”

Because the Damei Mountain area has been very poor since ancient times, the mountain people have paid taxes in kind since ancient times, and few have paid cash.

However, since the fall of Henan, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Jiangsu, the Dabie Mountains have become an isolated island, and it is no longer possible to obtain supplies of all kinds of materials from the rear.

Therefore, relying on the little autumn grain in the Dabie Mountains is not used at all.

Wan Xiangyun scratched his head and said depressedly: "It's really sad to die, you say, how good would it be if there was a gold mine in our Heavenly Village?" If there is a gold mine, then there is no need to worry about not having food and clothing, and there is no need to worry about military supplies, these days, as long as there is gold, anything can be bought, even the arms of the little devils can be bought. ”

Li Motang smiled when he heard this, but said in his heart, don't say anything about gold mines, but as long as you are less greedy for ink, our life in the 32nd Group Army will be much better, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know that the quartermaster is your brother-in-law, don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't know the little trick that the quartermaster played when he resold military rations.

Wan Xiangyun suddenly said again: "Brother Motang, you have to think of a way to take Dameishan over, Dameishan is now to have industry and industry, to have commerce and commerce, it is said that there are tens of thousands of industrial factories, that small life is simply rich, if this Dameishan belongs to our group army, then there is really no need to worry about anything." ”

Li Motang shook his head and said: "The Ministry of Military Affairs has already sent a note, demanding that the New Fourth Army withdraw to the north of the Huai River and hand over all the base areas south of the Huai River to the National Army, but the problem is that people don't listen to it at all. ”

"There will always be a way, Xu Rui, this kid will fall into my hands sooner or later, and it will be up to me to clean him up when the time comes." Wan Xiangyun snorted, and then said, "Speaking of Xu Rui and the Dameishan Independent Regiment, I almost forgot, how did the little Japanese sweep of Dameishan?" Did the Osaka Division send troops? Are you still cheating? ”

Li Motang shook his head and said, "I really don't know this, I'll go back and ask someone." ”

As soon as Li Motang's words fell, he saw a communications staff officer with the rank of major breaking in breathlessly, and then snapped his feet and stood upright, and reported to the two: "The general seat, the staff seat, I just received a secret telegram from the military commander, the Dameishan Independent Regiment has completely annihilated one of the three Japanese troops participating in the sweep, the Iida detachment, in the Huangnipu stronghold!" ”

Wan Xiangyun just picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat breakfast, and when he heard it, the chopsticks in his hand snapped to the ground.

Li Motang also stood up from the chair and shouted, "What did you say?" The Dameishan Independent Regiment completely annihilated the Iida detachment at the Huangnipu stronghold? Annihilation?! ”

"Yes." The communications staff officer nodded heavily, "It's all annihilation!" ”

"Oh my God!" Wan Xiangyun finally relented and said, "How did Xu Rui fight this battle?" ”

"yes." Li Motang also said in disbelief, "The previous all-annihilation of the Kawaguchi detachment, the heavy damage to the Yucun detachment, and the later all-annihilation of the Fifth Division, the Dameishan Independent Regiment are all fighting on the inside line, relying on familiarity with the terrain and using the light enemy of the little devils, but this time, they are fighting on the outside line!" Xu Rui's Dameishan Independent Regiment, how did it do it? This is completely illogical, completely unreasonable! ”

"It's not clear exactly what's going on." The communications staff officer shook his head and said, "However, the military commander is already investigating and I believe that a detailed report will come soon." ”

Li Motang suddenly said: "Boss, this may be an opportunity for us!" ”

"Opportunity?" Wan Xiangyun was stunned when he heard this, and asked with some puzzlement, "What chance?" ”

Li Motang said in a deep voice: "Isn't the chief seat worried about the matter of military salary? Perhaps, we can take advantage of the east wind of the Dameishan Independent Regiment to make a small fortune. ”

Wan Xiangyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Brother Motang, you hurry up." ”

Li Motang said: "Boss, what do you think will be the reaction of Kawabe Shozo now?" ”

"Needless to say." Wan Xiangyun said in a deep voice, "It must be annoyed and angry, and immediately order the Kumamoto Division and the Osaka Division to attack Dameishan desperately!" ”

Li Motang said again: "So, how will Xu Rui react?" ”

Wan Xiangyun said: "Xu Rui must be-for-tat, sending troops to stop it." ”

Li Motang coughed dryly, and said: "Boss, I mean, which Japanese army will Xu Rui choose as the target next?" ”

Wan Xiangyun thought for a while and said, "It must be the Osaka Division." ”

"My opinion is the opposite of that of the main seat." Li Motang said, "I think that Xu Rui will definitely point the spearhead at the Kumamoto Division, because although the combat effectiveness of the Osaka Division is weak, it is a plain terrain from Pukou to Puxian, and the Osaka Division has a tank wing to help in the battle, no matter how strong the combat effectiveness of the Dameishan Independent Regiment is, it is impossible to fight head-on with the devil's tank, so Xu Rui will definitely avoid the Osaka Division." ”

"I see!" Wan Xiangyun slapped his thigh violently when he heard this, and said loudly, "Brother Motang, do you mean that while the Kumamoto Division and the Dameishan Independent Regiment were fighting inextricably, we took advantage of the weakness to smash the old nest of the Kumamoto Division, take the four towns of Feicheng, and take the burden of the devil?" ”

"That's right!" Li Motang said, "But the timing of the dispatch must be grasped well, not too early, too early, the Kumamoto Division may be retracted, but not too late, if it is too late, no matter who wins or loses in the Kumamoto Division and the Dameishan Independent Regiment, we will not fight the autumn wind, and it is very likely that when the time comes, it will be very likely that stealing chickens will not become a handful of rice." ”

"It's all trifles." Wan Xiangyun waved his hand and said, "Brother Motang, do you really think that Xu Rui will target the Kumamoto Division next?" ”

Li Motang said very firmly: "As long as there are no accidents, it must be like this." ”

"Good!" Wan Xiangyun said loudly, "Immediately send a telegram to Wang Xiyuan and Xia Hanzhong, ordering the 73rd Army and the 79th Army to get ready, grandma, this time Lao Tzu wants to pick a big peach and recover the Anhui provincial capital." (To be continued.) )
