Chapter 12: The Allure of the Silver Dollar

This group of big men changing clothes was actually seen by two girls, which is really a little scared in my heart.

Bai Yuling and Liu Mei, the two girls, originally loved to be clean, and the clothes on their bodies that they hid during this time were also dirty, although a group of big men were squatting outside the cave, but they still felt a little awkward in their hearts, and they hurriedly changed into a new military uniform before calling everyone to come in to replenish supplies.

Then Fu Zhiyong and the others carried some grain and rice and followed Zhang Weidong to another cave where weapons and ammunition were stored, but to Fu Zhiyong's great disappointment, there was no German-style weapons and equipment used here, and the ammunition here was only Mauser pistol bullets.

However, there are a lot of Type 79 Zhongzheng rifles here, and most of them are new guns that have not been opened, and there are also some stocks of Mauser military pistols, that is, barge guns and Czech light machine guns, although the number is not very large, but it is enough to equip one or two regiments.

Fu Zhiyong and Zhang Weidong immediately changed their equipment, the Japanese-style 38-style rifle and the German-style MP28 submachine gun were all discarded, and all were replaced with 79-type Zhongzheng rifles and Mauser military pistols, the bullets were even more sufficient, and each grenade also brought five pieces, as for the lack of MP28 flower mechanism of suppressive firepower, they had to use four Czech light machine guns to stand up first, although the movement speed and shooting maneuverability are not as light and agile as MP28, but the suppressive shooting of medium and long-range has been greatly improved, After all, the effective range of the MP28 submachine gun is shorter than that of the Czech light machine gun.

"Battalion commander, what are these iron boxes in? It's still locked, and they're dead and dead. At this time, Zhao Hu curiously walked to the side of several large iron boxes to check them, and asked strangely.

"Huh? Smash it open and take a look. Fu Zhiyong heard Zhao Hu's inquiry, and then walked over, and after looking at it, he directly ordered Zhao Hu.

"Ding...... When ......" Zhao Hu didn't say a word, he smashed the lock with a few rifle butts, although the lock was quite big, but the lock ring was not very strong, just two thin pieces of iron, and a few rifle butts were smashed immediately.

"My dear! Battalion commander, it's all Guangyang......" As soon as Zhao Hu opened the box, his eyes immediately lit up, and he grabbed two handfuls and shouted in surprise.

There was nothing else in the box, all of them were full of scattered silver dollars, and many of them were bundles of silver dollars wrapped in red paper and neatly stacked underneath, and there were tens of thousands of dollars in such a large box.

"What Koyo?" "What is it...... Zhang Weidong and his brothers heard that they had discovered Guangyang, and they immediately surrounded Fu Zhiyong and Zhao Hu in three layers inside and three layers outside, and seven or eight heads stretched out to this side together, and the few people behind who couldn't see it jumped straight to their feet.

"These Guangyang should be the salaries of the troops issued by the Theater Commander's Department and the reward money to encourage morale." Fu Zhiyong picked up two pieces of Guangyang and guessed.

At this time, the military salary in the national army is generally issued paper money, that is, the Chinese version of legal tender, but with the intensification of the war, the rate of depreciation is very fast, the original monthly military salary is enough to pay for the family's daily living expenses, but now it is not even a week to maintain it will be interrupted, and now these soldiers see the real white flowers and silver dollars, how can they not be tempted.

"I said Battalion Commander Fu, don't just look at it, hurry up and let the brothers pretend!" Zhang Weidong saw that Fu Zhiyong and none of them took the initiative to get the silver dollars in the box, and suddenly urged with some anxiety.

"It's useful to take these cumbersome, so you might as well bring more bullets." Zhang Dali glared at Zhang Weidong and said confidently.

"I said you know a fart, let me tell you Battalion Commander Fu, we have to take this Guangyang, and we have to take more, we can take as much as we can......" Zhang Weidong squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Dali and scolded angrily, and then pulled Fu Zhiyong's arm and said repeatedly.

"What do you mean?" Fu Zhiyong immediately reflexively pressed the pistol on his waist and asked, and looked back vigilantly at the soldiers brought by Zhang Weidong, all of them looked like they were about to move.

"Of course, it is used to recruit soldiers, these years there is money and there are soldiers, with soldiers we will strengthen our strength, and when we have strength, we will have our own territory to make money! How can we fight devils when we have no money and no soldiers? Zhang Weidong looked at Fu Zhiyong like an idiot and said, you don't understand this, how did you get into the position of battalion commander.

"No, we are the ace unit of the Central Army in the battle sequence of the national army, how can we recruit troops privately without the order of the Theater Commander's Department! When the soldiers are returned to us, the above will replenish us, and there will be military salaries and weapons, and no one can move these Guangyang. Fu Zhiyong's eyes widened as soon as he heard Zhang Weidong's words, and his fingers flicked open the pistol holster and he was about to pull out the gun, and his attitude was very resolute in opposition.

"I said Battalion Commander Fu, I really don't understand how you got promoted as a battalion commander now, when are you still waiting for the top? Our 88th Division is also one of the four reorganized German armament divisions of the Central Army, and the supplementary soldiers given above are as thin as ribs, and they are not replaced by our own recruitment, and besides, you are the battalion commander of the Central Army Military Police Unit, and I am the company commander of an integrated German armament division, so there must be some soldiers under this hand! As long as it's not overstaffed, it's not a violation of discipline, and the above wishes we were all full, but then again, you are a bare-bones commander who can't fight it, who has no money and no soldiers, who bird you. Zhang Weidong looked like an old qualified person and said with a sneer at Fu Zhiyong.

"How the do you dare to talk to our battalion commander like this, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now!" Liao Peng and the others became angry as soon as they heard it, and with a 'click' of bullets, all the bullets were loaded into the chamber, and they raised their guns and pointed their guns at Zhang Weidong and shouted angrily.

"What for!" "Who the are you scaring about?" "Come on! Shoot! "The soldiers under Zhang Weidong also 'clicked' and loaded, pointed their guns at Fu Zhiyong, and several of them also roared and shouted, the muzzles of the guns on both sides pointed at each other's heads, and they all blushed and had thick necks, as if they really wanted to throw off their arms for these silver dollars.

"Put down the guns for me, our bullets are for killing little devils, not for you to use to hit your own people." "Put down all the guns to Lao Tzu! I didn't see our two 'senior' chiefs discussing things, the little minions flashed to the side, you don't have the right to talk here, everyone who wants to fight the fire will get out of here, fuck, it's against you. Fu Zhiyong and Zhang Weidong scolded and ordered their subordinates at the same time.

The soldiers on both sides put down the guns in their hands angrily, but their fingers did not leave the trigger at all, and their eyes were staring at the person opposite.

"Company Commander Zhang, what you said also has some truth, the situation is so chaotic now, our army is also full of parties, and it is not a bad thing to have troops in hand, I was directly transferred to the military police unit after graduating from the Whampoa Military Academy to receive special training and screening, and it is indeed a lack of consideration and lack of experience in this area. Fu Zhiyong is not a person who is cautious and holds grudges, after Zhang Weidong said this, he really lacked consideration, and immediately said humbly.

"It's good to say, since I decided to follow the battalion commander Fu to do it, I will naturally help wholeheartedly, helping you is equivalent to helping ourselves, isn't it, to be honest, my family is quite wealthy, the reason why I took these brothers out to be soldiers is to fight for a bright future, now in this era, it is useless to have money, people say to copy your house, you don't even dare to put one more fart, only if you have the strength to ensure that the family is small and thoughtful, isn't it, I speak more straightforwardly, If there are some offended places, please pay the battalion commander, you will be more responsible. Zhang Weidong found that Fu Zhiyong was not a stubborn person, and he was really a lot more down-to-earth, and then said with some embarrassment.

"Everyone is our own brother, it's okay if there are some small misunderstandings, as long as it's right, I won't mind, hehe......" Fu Zhiyong patted Zhang Weidong on the shoulder with a smile and said.

Then Fu Zhiyong asked Zhang Weidong and them to bring five hundred silver dollars each, and those Japanese soldiers' standard satchels came in handy, as for the seven of them and the two female soldiers, they only took two hundred yuan each, after all, considering the weight and the situation of encountering the Japanese army at any time, the combat strength still had to be maintained, and carrying too many silver dollars was also a burden.

After everything was ready, Fu Zhiyong and the others rested in the cave for a night, and they were full of spirits and continued to rush tomorrow......

"Password!"

"Protect the family, return the order!"

"Defend the country."

"I said, Camp Commander, why don't you go to rest yet?" Zhang Weidong walked out of the cave after answering the password, came to Fu Zhiyong's side and stretched his waist and asked.

"The brothers are tired all this time, let them rest well, I can't sleep anyway and come out to watch, why haven't you slept?" Fu Zhiyong put down the rifle in his hand and said with a smile to Zhang Weidong.

"Hehe, I can't sleep either, when I get up and find that you are gone, I know that you must be standing guard outside, don't you want to talk to you." Zhang Weidong found a clean place and sat down with a smile.

"Do you still have to come out with a gun on your back to talk to me? You must not be able to sleep and want to come out to sentry, I don't see that you are also a person who feels sorry for your subordinates. Fu Zhiyong also sat down casually and looked at Zhang Weidong and said.

"I'm not the same as you, these soldiers of mine are all brought out by me from my hometown, and if one dies, there will be one less, since I brought them out, of course I hope to bring them all back, but I didn't expect the two wars to come down...... Ay. Zhang Weidong felt a little uncomfortable when he said this, and he stopped talking with a sigh, and became melancholy alone......
