It's a battle sparked by a fortuitous event!

If it weren't for Liu Mo's head and Ling Zhi fainting to capture Yan Rou and kill two cadres from the Political Department of the Eastward Advance Brigade, maybe Xiao Siming would not have fought this battle here. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The task of the 115th Division's eastward advance brigade was to go to the east of Jinpu Road to create a base area behind enemy lines, and this area did not belong to their combat area, but only passed through. Moreover, what Xiao Siming needs is to drive in concealment, go to the east of Jinpu Road unconsciously, and try not to fight if he can!

The reason why the 129th Division Cavalry Regiment eliminated Liu Mo's head in history was not only because he refused to reorganize, but because he openly killed anti-Japanese cadres and openly became enemies of the Eighth Route Army!

Now, because Liu Motou happened to see Yan Rou on the way back to Tiankou Village from Xingtai, he fell for her stunning beauty, and directly shot to kill and rob people, causing Xiao Siming to kill and kill people in order to save people, and commanded the troops to kill Liu Mo's head.

As soon as the battle was over, the troops began to clean up the battlefield. Xiao Siming went to the dock as soon as possible, carefully searched the bodies of Liu Motou and several of his entourage, and found ironclad evidence from Liu Motou that he surrendered to the Japanese invaders: the Japanese army headquarters in Xingtai and the puppet army commander Gao Delin appointed Liu Motou as the head of Gao Delin's department!

After getting the Japanese puppet letter of appointment, Xiao Siming immediately ordered the cavalry company and a battalion to kill Liu Motou's Laowo Huanshui Village, and ordered Liu Motou's letter of appointment to be pasted at the head of Tiankou Village, along with Liu Motou's body, for the villagers to see.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Siming and Huang Hua went to Liu Motou's headquarters and personally commanded the troops to search.

After the initial cleaning of the battlefield and the search of Liu Motou's headquarters, a total of two mortars, 300 shells, two heavy machine guns, six light machine guns, more than 400 rifles and pistols, 2,000 grenades, and nearly 30,000 rounds of ammunition were seized.

After listening to the report of Cao Ming'an, the commander of the second battalion, Huang Hua opened his mouth and asked, "What about the money?" What about grain? ”

Cao Ming'an replied that there was a lot of grain, some of which were ground flour, and more of which were wheat and miscellaneous grains. There was very little money, 5,000 banknotes were seized from Liu Motou's logistics, and there was not much cash found from the bandits who tried to escape, probably a few thousand yuan, and some gold and silver jewelry and the like, the amount was not large, so it was difficult to estimate.

After the report, Cao Ming'an said with a little regret, full of thoughts that there is the Fuyang River shipping, the Great Plains, which is much richer than the mountainous areas in the west of Xingtai. Unexpectedly, this Liu Motou turned out to be a poor ghost, and the money he robbed was one-tenth of Li Laoben's! This goods, it seems that the money was spent on buying guns and artillery, and his weapons and equipment are better than a regiment of the main force of the Eighth Route Army!

Liu Motou became a bandit at the age of 16 or 7, and for more than 20 years in the surrounding counties, he blocked the road and robbed, killed people and sold goods, kidnapped tickets and tore tickets, and did bad things. The Fuyang River is the main water transport line from Handan to Tianjin since ancient times, and I don't know how many merchants have suffered from his poison!

Xiao Siming disagreed with Cao Ming'an's report, estimating that Liu Motou must have accumulated a lot of wealth while accumulating hatred and blood debts. Otherwise, he would not have been able to gather more than 400 people to rob, and his weapons were comparable to those of the regular army, and even better than some of the regular army!

More than 400 people have to eat and drink every day, and they have to be paid. Even if each person pays 30 yuan a month, it will cost 12,000 yuan a month. The seized money obviously does not match the reality of Liu Mo's head!

Xiao Siming thought in his heart, 200,000 yuan was seized from Li Laoben, and Liu Motou should have more money than Li Laoben! Because Tiankou Town, where Liu Motou is entrenched, is the main wharf of water transportation on the Fuyang River, it is easy to make money because of its wide financial resources!

Xiao Siming immediately asked Cao Mingan to find a way to dig out Liu Motou's iron rod, interrogate carefully, and be sure to dig out the whereabouts of Liu Motou's money.

Cao Ming'an handled things very safely, and really dug out the remnants of Liu Mo's head and interrogated them in detail. Unexpectedly, those guys all said that Commander Liu didn't let anyone touch money. When the brothers were paid, Commander Liu took out the money and handed it over to the second boss to divide. Even the second boss didn't know that Commander Liu's money was placed on it, maybe it was all stored in the banks and money banks in Xingtai!

Meet his big-headed ghost! Liu Motou is a habitual bandit, his head is pinned to the waistband of his trousers, he will keep his money in banks and banks?

Xiao Siming didn't believe it, and ordered the second battalion commander Cao Ming'an to personally bring a platoon of soldiers, fence off the house where Liu Motou lived, enter the house and remove all the furniture and beds, and see what the hell is there!

As a result, a dark passage was found under Liu Motou's bedboard.

This time, Xiao Siming personally took a flashlight into the dark passage, and Huang Hua and Cao Mingan followed closely behind to see what the mystery was.

After walking about 50 meters in the dark passage, you will reach the exit. When I came out, I saw that it was a small temple dedicated to the god of water by the local god.

Xiao Siming thought that this secret passage was just an escape channel for Liu Motou, but he didn't give up, he always felt that Liu Motou couldn't have no huge wealth, but it was just hidden deeply!

After wandering around the small temple for a while, Xiao Siming saw the doorway, because the three houses in the main hall, looking left and right, were beyond the depth of the normal temple, and they looked a little square!

Could it be that there is a wall in this main hall?

Xiao Siming told Huang Hua and Cao Ming'an about his discovery, and asked Cao Ming'an to command the soldiers to find the door in the main hall!

After turning the mechanism, the statue of the water god moved away, revealing a doorway behind it.

Walking into the doorway, with a flashlight, Xiao Siming, Huang Hua, and Cao Mingan all gasped!

I saw that the space behind the wall was also the size of three houses, and in the middle was a big kang built against the wall, and the kang was full of yellow and white things, silver ingots, silver nuggets, silver cakes, silver ingots, silver dollars, gold bars, gold bricks, gold ingots, dazzling!

It may be that the weight of gold and silver is too heavy, and the kang is crushed!

Cao Ming'an shouted excitedly when he landed: "His grandmother's has finally been found!" ”

Huang Hua shook his head and said, "Liu Motou is really a bandit!" I hid money in this way, and I was not afraid that one day this small temple would catch fire and burn all this gold and silver! ”

In addition to gold and silver, there are also three wooden chests stacked on top of the kang. When I opened it, I saw that a wooden box was full of pearls and jade. The remaining two wooden boxes are all filled with paper money, legal tender, Jin banknotes, banknotes issued by Beiping and Tianjin banks, yen, military bills, all kinds of flowers, all kinds of things!

Xiao Siming immediately ordered Cao Ming'an to personally guard here, and when Shi Poshan, the head of the logistics department, arrived, he would count and hand it over to the logistics office.

When he walked out of the Water Temple, Huang Hua burst out with a sentence for a long time: "With this money, you can open a bank, what kind of bandit can you be!" ”

Xiao Siming laughed and said that Liu Motou didn't have the ability to be a banker, he would only be a bandit!

After speaking, Xiao Siming thought, why didn't the 129th Division Cavalry Regiment in history see a record of seizing a huge amount of money when it beat Liu Motou?

After thinking for a while, Xiao Siming figured it out. Historically, the 129th Division Cavalry Regiment beat Liu Motou in May, at that time Liu Motou had already torn his face with the Eighth Route Army, and was afraid of being retaliated against by the Eighth Route Army, so he retreated to Laowo Huanshui Village, and this batch of funds must have been secretly transferred by Liu Motou. Think of the water village, the water surface is wide, the water depth is more than one meter, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The cavalry regiment put on such a big formation, and Liu Motou had a way to defect to the Japanese army, not only did he run away with his cronies, but he was afraid that he also transferred his money early. Otherwise, he is just a bandit, or a notorious bare-bones bandit commander, why did the Japanese puppet army let him be the commander of the regular puppet army, the captain of the lieutenant colonel, and the commander of the city defense?

Thinking of this, Xiao Siming laughed, feeling that his luck was really good, fighting a bandit, he could seize so much money. With this money, after arriving at the east of Jinpu Road, many problems will be solved by running all kinds of study classes, schools, and arsenals!

After Wang Lushui led the follow-up troops to arrive, he just went to the water temple to take a look, and then never left, and personally led the logistics office to take inventory. After the counting, he personally instructed the logistics office to pack the gold, silver and banknotes into boxes and hand them over to the baggage team for transportation.

After finishing his work, Wang Lushui went to see Xiao Siming and discussed with Xiao Siming that the preliminary estimate of this fund is one million, the amount is too large, and the advance brigade is only a regiment-level structure, even if the army is expanded in the future and becomes a brigade-level structure, it will not need so much money. He considered whether to hand over half of it, the division headquarters, the headquarters and Yan'an were all short of money, and with this fund, he would definitely be able to help his superiors solve some practical difficulties!

Wang Lushui brought it up, so what else did Xiao Siming say?

In fact, Xiao Siming is still counting on using this money as a reserve fund to set up his own bank after creating a base area! With its own bank and fiscal and taxation system, you don't have to worry about running an arsenal or something.

Wang Lushui, who has a strong party spirit and principles, said this, Xiao Siming must agree!

After pondering for a while, Xiao Siming decided that the cavalry company led by Deputy Brigade Commander Huang Hua would return to the Xingxi area with half of the funds, and hand over the funds to Zhang Xianyue of the advance detachment of the 129th Division, who would send troops back to the headquarters.

This matter needs to be kept in a high degree of secrecy, and there is no need to study it. After the two people discussed, Wang Lushui went directly to the division headquarters and the headquarters to send a report, reporting that the head of the big bandit Liu Mo had been eliminated in Ren County, and the gold and silver banknotes worth about 1 million yuan were seized, and he planned to hand over gold bars and silver ingots worth 500,000 yuan to his superiors, and sent a cavalry company to quickly return to Longquan Temple in the west of Xingtai with the handed over funds, and asked the division headquarters to report to the headquarters, and the headquarters ordered Zhang Xianyue, the advance detachment of the 129th Division, to send powerful troops to Longquan Temple to hand over!

According to the agreement negotiated between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the Eighth Route Army was paid 630,000 yuan in legal currency every month. This figure was given according to the standard of 45,000 men in the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army, while the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region did not have a penny of funds. The advance team handed over 500,000 yuan worth of gold and silver this time, which is not a small contribution!

After waiting for a while, the division headquarters called back, it was a telegram prepared by Director Luo himself, saying that it had been reported to the headquarters and Yan'an, and Yan'an and the headquarters ordered the advance brigade to leave 100,000 yuan of gold and silver as funds, and the rest of the gold and silver worth 900,000 yuan were all handed over, and ordered Xiao Siming to personally lead the cavalry company to escort the funds to Starch Water Town, and ordered Zeng Guohua's five detachments to immediately dispatch to Paste Water Town to handle the transfer of funds!

Looking at the telegram, Wang Lushui was dumbfounded, but he didn't expect that his superiors only left 100,000 yuan for the advance team, and the rest had to be handed over!

Xiao Siming had expected this result long ago, because he knew that the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border region was extremely poor, and the big chiefs were looking forward to money. Now that there is such a big seizure, it must be handed over. It's good to leave them 100,000!

Talking nonsense, it is organizational discipline for the subordinates to obey the superiors and for the whole party to obey the Central Committee. Even if Xiao Siming didn't have the soul to travel through that moment, he would consciously obey the order, let alone now! (To be continued.) )
