Chapter 63: The Spoils of War
"Then thank you, Shi Benjun."
Yamawaki Masataka hung up the phone weakly. He is not afraid of dying in battle, but is it possible for him to die in battle? The Third Division was defeated again, and it was also a permanent Class A pack horse division of the Japanese army, with a full strength of 28,500 men, and even if the early battle did not go well, the strength of the division still had nearly 20,000 troops. Which Chinese army could kill him, the lieutenant general and division commander, among nearly 20,000 Japanese soldiers?
In the final analysis, the tank that Ishimoto gave to Lieutenant General Yamawaki is not only a vehicle for transportation, but also the biggest role is to make His Excellency the Lieutenant General not lose face too much when he meets with friendly forces.
This mobile detachment led by Gao Quan is really too slow! It is said that a mobile detachment composed of trucks, motorcycles, and tanks should be fast, and the speed should be fast, and the speed is not fast, so what is it called?
In front is a division of the Japanese army that is retreating, and behind is the two armies led by Chi Fengcheng and Liu Ruming in pursuit, Gao Quan didn't have the heart to grab the front to join in the fun, with that kung fu, it is better to follow the back to make more benefits!
What's affordable? Isn't his current team a benefit? Under Gao Quan's instructions, the first mobile detachment of the 500 Army became a transport team and a garbage picking team. Commonly known as: waste pickers.
The military uniforms, bedding, guns, bullets, trucks and tanks that were discarded by the devils, and even the trucks that had been blown up after being discarded by the Japanese army, the mobile detachment had to see if there were any tires that had not been blown up. Anyway, there is a compartment in the back of the truck, which can put a lot of things. The soldiers sitting at the top of the truck were sitting in the carriage at first, but as the things in the compartment gradually increased, these soldiers could no longer sit and had to get out of the car and follow the vehicle on foot.
The soldiers all followed to the side of the truck, can he be fast in this convoy?
Although the 500 Army has captured a lot in previous battles, and has also harvested several material warehouses and vaults of the Japanese army, for an army of tens of thousands of people, these things are still beyond their means. Commander Gao must open up a wide range of financial channels in order to let the more than 20,000 people under his command eat and drink without worry. The family is big, the power is big, and the burden is heavy!
After Gao Quan brought Zheng Guotai back from the old estuary, he discovered Zheng Guotai's ability. It's a pity that this Deputy Division Commander Zheng is not a businessman! The prices of commodities and goods in various places, the varieties of goods required in various places, and what treasures are currently in demand, Zheng Guotai has found out clearly in just a few months.
It is said that war is the most expensive. Gao Quan felt that war was the most profitable business! As long as there is a battle, the 500 army will inevitably be captured. All those loot can be exchanged for money! From the devil's steel helmet, to military shoes, and even socks taken from the feet of dead people, they can all be sold for money! Not to mention all kinds of guns, ammunition, vehicles.
The things obtained on the battlefield can be exchanged for money, Gao Quan has long known it, but after passing through the hands of Zheng Guotai, he can sell more money than Gao Quan, this is the ability! Of course, if you want to pick up military boots from the corpse of the devil, the soldiers of the convoy still can't do it, everyone follows the military seat to go out, and they all have to pay attention to their faces, right? Manual work like that was done by the infantry at the back. Luggage bedding, broken guns and knives are enough to load in the car.
Don't look at these things that are already broken and can't be used, after pulling them back, after Deputy Division Commander Zheng redirects them, they are all in short supply!
Arm after force overtook the convoy and pursued forward. Just by saluting and reporting in front of Gao Quan, there was a regiment of the entire 201 Brigade and the 500th Brigade with the brigade headquarters, and a regiment of the Independent Brigade. Gao Quan's order to these army commanders is also very simple, that is, don't grab business with friendly forces, fight when you have the opportunity, and follow behind if you don't have the opportunity. It's hard to have a good fight, and you still don't want those famous generals to vent their anger?
It hadn't even been half an hour before the convoy stopped again.
"Junza, do you think that big guy is useful?" Now everyone knows Gao Quan's thoughts, as soon as the convoy stopped, Commander Cai ran over, pointed to a big black man in the field on the right and asked for instructions from the military seat.
It was a Japanese light tank, parked there alone, the turret had been tilted to one side, and the barrel was almost down to the ground.
Gao Quan pulled the car door and got out of the car. He had already come out of the tank, and now he was in a truck, and the tank was left to the Golden Tiger to drive. Since you want to hand over the mobile detachment to the Golden Tiger, the only tank in the detachment, of course, you have to let the Golden Tiger operate independently.
I walked up to it and looked at it, no wonder the devil threw it away, this tank is really not what it looks like. The tracks were broken, the barrel was crooked, and even the turret had a lot of scratches on the horizontal and vertical sides. It is estimated that the bomb exploded, otherwise, this kind of iron lump, who can draw it?
It took a lot of effort to knock open the top hatch cover, and a bloody breath came to his face, so that Gao Quan choked on his head, and several devils died in the cockpit.
"You guys, go, pull out the corpse of the devil inside." Gao Quan pointed to a few soldiers who were looking this way with their necks stretched out, and gave an order.
The soldiers who had been named by Gao Quan ran over with great interest, and they didn't look embarrassed at all. One of them was a skinny one, climbed to the top of the turret and got into the cockpit. After a while, a few people who were guarding outside began to pull the corpse out with ropes.
When Gao Quan personally cut the head of the devil with a big knife, he couldn't even blink his eyelids, but he really couldn't do this job if he was asked to do it. Looking at the elated appearance of those soldiers, he knew that when it came to hatred for these devils, there was still a lot of gap between himself and these fighters.
The dead body can be moved out, and the track Gaoquan can also be picked up with someone, but this tank was blown up by our soldiers, and the instrument parts inside were damaged, but he couldn't repair it. It happened that there were soldiers from the supplementary brigade passing by, Gao Quan pulled the company commander who led the team, asked him to find a few pack horses, and slowly pulled this big guy back to Tongbai Mountain, whether it was used for practice in the future, or handed over to Zheng Guotai to resell, it was a good choice.
Along the way, he kept collecting loot, and Gao Quan saw two more intact light chariots. These two chariots were the kind of light bean chariots, which fell behind because they ran out of fuel, and the devils were captured by the soldiers of the 500th Army before they could blow them up.
Bean chariots are also chariots, and this light chariot is easier to drive. Gao Quan simply pumped the oil from several trucks onto the two tanks. In this way, he had three combat vehicles at hand.
The military headquarters called, and because the convoy was delayed too much, the military headquarters was already less than five miles away. In this case, Gao Quan simply stopped the convoy and waited for the military headquarters to come up and walk together.
