After the interrogation, Qin Yuan followed Shi Shi'an and An Dexin to the regiment headquarters in a daze. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shi Shi'an's office is very simple, the room is not big, only about ten square meters.

In the middle was a large table, on which was a 1/50,000 military map.

The so-called 1/50,000 means that one centimeter on the map is equal to 500 meters on the ground. In combat maps, this is arguably the most sophisticated and practical of the twentieth century.

The map is large and takes up most of the table.

Hills, streams, villages, temples, and even paths and paddy fields are clearly drawn on the map.

Place names are all marked with Chinese characters, the commanding heights of the top of the mountain and the contour line of the mountainside are all marked with Arabic numerals, and all roads are marked with segmented mileage.

Directly above the map, there is a row of large characters "Eight-year Survey of the Republic of China".

Qin Yuan was attracted by this military map at a glance, although he had not systematically learned how to use military maps, but during the period of retreat from the northeast, he had asked Zhang Fenglin in detail about military maps.

Now, although I don't talk about how to be proficient, I can also watch eight or nine without leaving ten.

He was amazed at how detailed the map was. As a commander, the military map is his second gun, and obviously Shi Shi'an's second gun is very good.

Shi Shi'an sat on the chair, he noticed Qin Yuan's gaze, and couldn't help but feel a little proud.

This military map was obtained with great difficulty, and military maps were very rare in this era, especially one in 50,000, and ordinary people could not get it at all.

If he hadn't had a good brother who was a staff officer in the military headquarters, he wouldn't have gotten such a detailed map.

"What's the matter, my map is not bad, our brigade commander has asked me several times, but I am not willing to give it to him! This is my lifeline! ”

"The map is not bad, but it is a little old." Qin Yuan replied with some pity.

Eight years of the Republic of China, that is, it was 1919, and now it is 1932, which means that this map is 13 years ago.

More than a decade later, no one can be sure that the markings on the map are accurate.

Hearing Qin Yuan's words, Shi Shi'an was stunned for a moment, and then said with some regret: "It's indeed a little old, but there's no way, who doesn't pay attention to it, it's not easy to have such a map." ”

Qin Yuan thought about it, too, the inaction of the Nanjing Nationalist Government was well known.

From the establishment of the provisional government of the Republic of China on January 1, 1912, when he became the de facto ruler of this land of China, it has been 20 years now, and he has not even understood the devil in his own territory.

In the northeast, Qin Yuan has seen the power of the devil map.

In that ambush on the cliff, the devil relied on the path marked on the map to copy Qin Yuan's buttocks, which led to the failure of the ambush and made Lei Gang surrender to the Japanese.

Thinking of this, Qin Yuan felt a little lonely. Fighting against the invaders on their own territory, but not even detailing the enemy on the military map, this kind of thing can also be done by the national government.

Seeing that Qin Yuan's mood was a little heavy, Shi Shi'an could also understand his thoughts.

He himself didn't feel sorry, but there was no way, the reality was like this, people have to look forward, and if there is no map, won't there be a war!

After comforting Qin Yuan for a few words, Shi Shi'an took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and gave one to Qin Yuan and An Dexin.

The cigarette is an American camel brand, which is a first-class good cigarette in this era.

This cigarette has a famous feature, that is, the striking camel in the cigarette label standing in the sea of sand, holding its head high and proud of the world. It is also this "Desert Boat" that has become the symbol of "Camel" cigarettes, making "Camel" cigarettes famous all over the world.

At this time, the monthly salary of officers was actually very high.

In the "National Revolutionary Army Giving Order" signed by Chiang Kai-shek in 1926, the monthly salaries of officers and soldiers at all levels were stipulated, and the regimental commander like Shi Shi'an had 2,400 yuan a month, and the regiment headquarters also had 200 yuan of public expenses.

The so-called public expenditure of the regiment headquarters is actually a subsidy to the regiment commander in disguise.

Therefore, at this time, it is still normal for a colonel to smoke camel brand cigarettes.

However, in the early days of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Nationalist Government experimented with the National Hardship Salary Medal and lowered the salaries of officers and soldiers in the army, and the salaries of colonels were greatly reduced.

In 1942, the Ministry of Military Affairs revised the salary seal, and the colonel had already dropped to 240 yuan a month.

When that time comes, a colonel will have to smoke camels, even the old knife card will have to be leisurely.

While smoking, the guards brought the tea.

Qin Yuan got up and took a sip, although he didn't know how to taste tea, he could feel that this tea was very good, after drinking it, his mouth was full of freshness and mellow aroma.

"What kind of tea is this, it's pretty good." Qin Yuan praised it, he actually wanted to have a point with Shi Shi'an and go back to drink slowly, but when he first arrived, he was still embarrassed.

"Very good, then you can underestimate this tea. This is the top-grade Xinyang Maojian that I asked someone to get back from Huacha Company. ”

Seeing Qin Yuan's blank face, Shi Shi'an had to explain again: "Let's talk about this Huacha Company first, that is the largest tea export company in Shanghai, there, when you mention Huacha, everyone knows about it."

Besides, this Xinyang Maojian is even more remarkable, he has won the gold certificate and medal of the World Exposition, and it is said that the old Jiang came to greet the guests with this tea. ”

……

Qin Yuan found that there was a problem with this Shi Shi'an, that is, he was a good teacher, and he liked to say.

He talked about the history of this simple tea with Qin Yuan for ten minutes, and if An Dexin hadn't interrupted in time next to him, it was estimated that he would have to continue talking.

Shi Shi'an, who was interrupted, was not annoyed, obviously used to An Dexin's approach.

"Qin Yuan, the devils are eyeing Rehe now, obviously a northeast has not satisfied their appetite. You are the only one in my group who has fought with devils, you tell me, what is the situation of this Japanese, is it really so evil? ”

Shi Shi'an appointed Qin Yuan as a company commander, and he didn't value his experience in fighting with the Japanese.

He knew very well that sooner or later the Japanese would come to attack Shanhaiguan, because only by occupying it would they be able to attack Rehe and North China.

Taking precautions is a habit that Shi Shi'an has always had, so he wanted to hear about Qin Yuan's experience of fighting devils to see what lessons he could learn from it.

Qin Yuan didn't hide it when he heard it, so he started talking about Zhang Fenglin's withdrawal from Fengtian during the 918 Incident, especially focusing on the failed mountain cliff ambush and the experience of the Jiangqiao battlefield.

Although Shi Shi'an already attached great importance to the Japanese in his heart, he was still shocked when he heard the enemy's firepower configuration and combat quality.
