Chapter 50: Sharing the Dividends of War
In order to ensure the safety of the railway guerrilla station, Zhao Tiehu, who was at the beginning of its establishment, set up the guerrilla station in Teng County. Not far from the guerrilla station, there was a detachment of the martial arts team and the main company stationed at the www.biquge.info of the Bi Qu Pavilion.
Judging from the current security of the three detachments, Teng County, where the detachment's headquarters is located, is undoubtedly the safest. With the implementation of Zhao Tiehu's secret camp plan, there are now the existence of the Eighth Route Army in many mountains in Teng County.
Some of these camps were convenient for hiding the masses, while others became garrisons for military workers and guerrillas. All in all, in the mountains of Tengxian County today, there are indeed anti-Japanese war troops hidden beyond the imagination of the little devils.
With the backing of the secret camps built in various places and the developed village-level escort teams as outposts, the Eighth Route Army is also constantly encroaching on the occupied areas of the little devils in Teng County. Fortunately, the little devils don't seem to pay much attention to the countryside.
In order to avoid alarming the little devils, Zhao Tiehu ordered all military engineering teams and guerrillas not to attack the towns and villages where the little devils were stationed at will before receiving orders from their superiors. Of course, the towns and villages where the puppet army is stationed can still be beaten.
Thanks to the expansion of guerrilla zones and the policy of joint defense between villages and villages, the policy of joint defense of villages and villages has been well promoted. In the first battle of the railway guerrillas, nothing happened. Not long after the supplies were left off the train, they were transferred away by the called guerrillas and the masses.
When the patrol of the little devils came, they could only see the footprints left by the guerrillas transferring supplies. But this situation is actually very common on railway lines. As for the pursuit, these little devils won't be so stupid.
After all, their task is only to ensure the safety of the railway line. As long as the guerrillas or hairy monkeys don't bomb the railroad, they will turn a blind eye. As for tracking, they haven't lived long enough either!
When the sky was slightly bright, all the materials seized by the guerrillas were smoothly transported to the guerrilla station. Looking at these materials, the captain Li Shi'an also said happily: "Comrades, it's hard work, wait for a meal to celebrate!" ”
'Thank you, Captain! ’
All the team members looked very happy, even if they had done something like this before. But robbing a number of little devils' trains in one night, without any casualties, is really unprecedented.
Even for many of the team members who were born from hairy monkeys, they also felt the benefits of having a team. Although it is unlikely that they will get any money, they can all feel that it is safer and faster to pick up the train.
Under the division of labor and cooperation, the team members perform their own duties, and it is indeed much more comfortable than before. At least for many of the team members who were born as hairy monkeys, they had never picked up so many supplies at one time. This sense of accomplishment is still very refreshing!
Calling the political work cadres of the guerrillas, Li Shi'an also smiled and said: "Register the seized materials and make a book, and wait for someone to go to the detachment to report a message." I heard that the detachment leader is out, and he should be very concerned about our first operation.
The victory in the first battle should also make the detachment commander happy. In addition, please indicate whether these supplies will be temporarily placed in our camp or transferred to the detachment. Also, please tell me the next battle plan! ”
'Yes, Captain! ’
In order to ensure that the guerrillas could easily and quickly move in the event of an encounter with the enemy, each guerrilla station did not have much material in stock. Under normal circumstances, the storage of supplies will not exceed one week.
Most of the surplus supplies were moved deeper into the mountains. If there are no new captures, the troops simply send people to collect the supplies. And most of this material is food. In this era, grain is undoubtedly the most expensive.
Tonight, in addition to seizing a large amount of white flour and grain, the guerrillas also seized a lot of salt packed in hemp. It can be said that this batch of salt is the most valuable. Both the army and the common people are in urgent need of salt.
When the guerrilla messenger arrived at the detachment's station, Song Dabao, who was staying at the station, listened to the other party's report and said with the same joy: "Yes!" The first time you made a move, you got so many goods, it's amazing! ”
After asking Chen Wan to send the telegram to Zhao Tiehu, Zhao Tiehu, who received the telegram, was also very happy and said: "Reply to the detachment, and give certain material rewards to the guerrillas who participated in the battle tonight, and the prizes are mainly white flour and a small amount of salt."
All seized salt was transported back to the detachment's reserve warehouse. Inform the guerrillas and military engineering teams to supply small batches of salt to the fortress villages to improve the food of the people. In the future, there are salt trucks, all of which are collected as important materials. ”
Salt has always been listed as a material under official control in ancient times. Now, with the occupation of Ruoda by the little devils, not only the people in the occupied areas are short of salt, but even many of the anti-Japanese troops of the Eighth Route Army are also short of salt.
The large amount of salt seized by the guerrillas this time could not only ensure that the combat units of the detachment would not be short of salt in the short term, but could even send a batch to the column. As for selling salt for money, Zhao Tiehu would not do such a stupid thing at all.
In addition, selling a batch of salt to the people of Fort Village is also to let the people enjoy the dividends of the war. After all, as they accepted the jurisdiction of the Eighth Route Army, they were also quite restricted when they went out to buy supplies.
And in order to ensure safety, the people of these villages do not dare to go out at will at all. Most of the daily necessities they exchanged or purchased from the guerrillas and the armed forces.
It can be said that even now the detachment has a lot of materials in storage. But the dirty channel they established with the hairy monkey has not been interrupted. As long as the hairy monkey gets the goods, the Eighth Route Army will buy them at a price and quantity.
Even Zhao Tiehu was very bold and sold certain weapons and ammunition to these hairy monkeys. For many hairy monkeys who often play with their lives on the railway line, guns and ammunition are still very attractive. With a gun, you can save your life!
As Zhao Tiehu's telegram was sent back to the station of the railway guerrillas, Li Shi'an was also happy to learn that the guerrillas had received a verbal commendation. Even if the verbal praise is just a form of affirmation and encouragement.
When the rested team members got up one after another, Li Shi'an said with a smile when he was eating: "Comrades, just when you were resting, the chief had already sent us a commendation telegram, and he was very satisfied with our victory in the first battle.
In addition to this, we were given a collective verbal commendation to the guerrillas. There is another thing to announce, that is, the chief decided to give certain material rewards to the team members participating in the battle, half a catty of salt per person, three catties of white flour, and five biscuits.
It's just that the chief also said that this is to motivate us to work harder, so he will give such a one-time material reward. If you still want to be rewarded in the future, you have to work harder. Comrades, rejoice? ”
'Rejoice! Thank you, Chief! ’
Although Li Shi'an called Zhao Tiehu the head of the detachment, in front of these guerrillas, he still called the commander of the main force the chief. In doing so, it is also a reminder to the team members that they are anti-Japanese armed forces under the leadership of their superiors.
These rewards may not seem like much, but for many team members, they are also a lot of income. Salt, although it is not as valuable as a market, is not so easy to buy.
White flour and biscuits can be used as food, even high-end food. Therefore, for most of the team members in Zaozhuang, their families will also be happy to send these rewarded materials home.
Compared to the previous pickpocketing of the train, the family always felt that it was stolen. Now these rewarded materials are special rewards given to them by the army. After receiving these supplies, their families will feel very embarrassed.
When the partisans, rejoicing in celebrating the victory in the first battle, began to prepare for the second operation. After the pickpocketed trains arrived at various destinations in the south, looking at the huge number of stolen trains, many of the little devils who received the goods were very angry.
Especially when I saw some carriages, the locks were still good, but the materials locked in them were gone, which made the little devil even more curious, where these materials were stolen. However, it is undoubtedly difficult to investigate this situation.
In addition to reporting the situation and letting the trains and railway stations that transport supplies be strictly guarded, the little devils also have no good way to solve this problem. After all, the railway line from south to north is too long!
Compared with the little devils who were unhappy about the loss of supplies, the guerrilla captains and martial arts captains who were notified to return seemed very happy. Knowing that the troops had provided a certain amount of salt this time, these team members were very happy.
'Yes! With this salt, the folks can finally change their taste! This salt, where did it come from? ’
'That's it! You don't have to ask where the salt came from. By order of the detachment commander, this batch of salt was sold in limited quantities and at a limited price. Special circumstances, special treatment, you can grasp for yourself. ’
'Good! Got it! ’
The so-called special situation is naturally that some people are poor and destitute, so what about the money to buy salt? In this case, the guerrillas and the armed forces will give some special policies, allowing them to owe it first and pay it later.
After all, with the eradication of many landlords who were the cause of the trouble, the seized fields, according to Zhao Tiehu's instructions, have been distributed to the people of the village for cultivation. Of course, the people also had to pay the guerrillas public grain as land rent.
It is this policy of dividing the land that makes many people yearn for it, and they will be very supportive of the arrival of the Eighth Route Army. If there is no benefit, who wants to take the risk of fornication?
For these poor people who support the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army often gives some material benefits. At least for these poor people, with the help of the Eighth Route Army, they at least don't have to worry about freezing or starving.
Even the villagers who were worried earlier did improve their living conditions after seeing the guerrillas and martial arts of the Eighth Route Army stationed there, and gradually accepted the existence and arrival of the Eighth Route Army.
With the existence of these Eighth Route Army, at least they don't have to worry about the looting and exploitation of bandits and yellowskins in the future. As for the little devils, the small number of little devils entering the mountain is also back and forth.
And Zhao Tiehu hopes that through this way of sharing the dividends of the war and bearing the risks of war for the people, these people will truly support and support them. With the support and support of these people, the Eighth Route Army will be invincible here in the future!
