[Anti-Japanese Iron Blood King] Chapter 259: I'm going back (ask for subscription!) ）

"By the way, you have the yen, can you still make foreign exchange by selling weapons?" Vice Chairman Zhou asked with a smile.

"What about that, this was captured last time I fought the 101st Division, and those days happened to be when the Japanese army paid its salaries, and it was a one-time payment of three months' salaries, so the **** division headquarters was full of cash, which happened to be cheaper for us. It's just that I can't spend the yen back, so I'm worried about what to do! Ma Zheng said.

"It just so happens that in addition to delivering orders, one more thing I came this time has to do with money!"

"What's the matter, the chief won't be coming to fight the autumn wind?" Ma Zheng said with a smile.

"You kid is a thief, not to mention, the comrades of the Eighth Route Army Office in Wuhan and the Xinhua News Agency are very tight in funds and are short of money. If you can't handle this batch of yen, leave it to me. This is close to the Japanese-occupied area, so it should not be a problem to get rid of this batch of yen. Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"Okay, you can take the money with you, but you write me a certificate, and every penny of our Duqi Division must have a detailed record." Ma Zheng said.

"That's fine, no problem, and I'll explain it to the chairman!" Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"By the way, Chief, when are you going back, do you want to come with us?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"I can't do it, the chairman asked me to stay in Wuhan for the time being to strengthen the ties between our party and Wuhan. Facts have proved that the effect of our two parties joining forces is still very good, and if we can, we will fight a few more such big battles! Vice Chairman Zhou said.

"Well, I hope there's that chance!" Ma Zheng said.

"Now that you're leaving, how do you feel about Wuhan?" Vice Chairman Zhou asked with a smile.

Ma Zheng was stunned, and then said, "Actually, I don't feel anything." It's just a little reluctant! ”

Vice Chairman Zhou smiled and said, "What, do you still have feelings for this place and are unwilling to leave?" ”

Ma Zheng shook his head and said: "That's not it, it's just that there are only more than 3,000 people left in the more than 7,600 old troops I brought when I came, and there are 4,000 fewer people out of thin air, and my heart is empty." Under the weather. I feel sad to leave these 4,000 brothers here, this is not our base after all, I don't know when I will come back, and I don't know if there will be a chance to see the soldiers who stayed here. ”

Although Ma Zheng had a smile on his face, everyone could hear the tremor in his voice, and they could all feel his pain.

Vice Chairman Zhou patted Ma Zheng on the shoulder and explained: "War is so cruel, no one will really let go. Just get used to it. As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of the army, since it has been done, it must be done well, and we must remember that the soldiers who have sacrificed must remember that they are all heroes of the nation. Maybe we can't do anything now, but future generations will not forget them. ”

While relieving Ma Zheng, Vice Chairman Zhou was also instilling such an idea in all the officers of the temporary command, after all, it is very painful for a general to not be able to see life and death.

After listening to Vice Chairman Zhou's words, Ma Zheng suddenly smiled. He seemed to be a little embarrassed and said: "I remember the same thing I said, remembering the last time the Japanese army raided the Chahar tribe. Several soldiers died to cover Lan Qing, and after returning Lan Qing, Lan Qing blamed himself and hid in the field hospital to secretly cry. In order to explain her, I used to say the same thing to him, but I didn't expect that today I also need someone else to explain, hehehe! ”

Then Ma Zheng looked at Vice Chairman Zhou. Continued: "Don't worry! Since you have chosen the front, you should go through thick and thin! As a commander, we must not only have superhuman vision, but also have a strong heart. ”

The people in the command knew that Ma Zheng was just emotional, and it wasn't that he really couldn't think about it. It's hard for a senior commander like him to have too much idea about casualties, and the casualties in a battle are just a bunch of meaningless numbers. If you develop feelings for these numbers, then you will make the whole war lose because of you.

Maybe you will be sad, grief, or even cry after the war. But at the very least, a commander on the battlefield must not have the kindness of a woman, that is a taboo for soldiers. Therefore, Huang Sicheng and others are not worried that Ma Zheng, a victorious general, will not be able to pass this hurdle.

Now that the time for the withdrawal has been set, the rest of the matter will be much easier. However, just as Ma Zheng's headquarters were assembled, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Nationalist Government suddenly called again, saying that the order had been changed, and the whole army of the Seventh Division would assemble in the afternoon, and all the horses would board the train from Hankou Station to Xi'an, and then return to Guisui via Yan'an.

Although he didn't understand why the Nationalist Government had said that there were no train wagons before, and now let them gather the whole army, Ma Zheng didn't think about it and directly ordered the troops to assemble immediately.

In fact, Ma Zheng didn't know that the Nationalist Government didn't have no train wagons before, but Lao Jiang was really unwilling to let the more than 20,000 people under his command leave smoothly. After all, almost all of the people of the Duqi Division came by absorbing the Kuomintang prisoners, and it was a bit distressing to let them leave like this, so at that time, Lao Jiang decided to let the Duqi Division leave in three batches, in fact, except for the first batch, the rest of the people Lao Jiang did not plan to let them go at all.

But after thinking about it back, I felt that it was inappropriate, Ma Zheng's character, Lao Jiang, had seen it, and he would be revenged, no matter who provoked him, it would be extremely miserable. The strong combat effectiveness displayed by Ma Zheng's subordinates and Ma Zheng's own demonic talent made almost all the military and political officials of the Nationalist Government gasp. If they intercept Ma Zheng's troops, they may not be able to drop a few battalions of that guy halfway, and with the speed of development of Ma Zheng's troops, there is no guarantee that there will be a few more brigades or even a few divisions of the Eighth Route Army in the hinterland of the Nationalist Government.

So Lao Jiang thought about it and didn't take this risk, isn't it just more than 20,000 horses, and there are still six or seven thousand wounded among them, let them leave and leave, saving trouble.

In order to allow Ma Zheng's ministry to leave smoothly, Lao Jiang simply allocated dozens of more train cars, and at the same time promised all the rewards of various items promised to Ma Zheng's department, without half a point discount.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the troops began to assemble, and then began to distribute money, three yuan for each soldier and five yuan for officers. Subsequently, the division headquarters ordered all soldiers to take a three-hour vacation immediately, as long as they returned to the barracks before half past five.

All the fighters were surprised and felt incredible, and it was unbelievable that they were giving money and taking vacations.

In fact, Ma Zheng's idea was very simple, since he was leaving, of course, he couldn't go back empty-handed, he replaced most of his weapons and equipment with gold and silver treasures, which could not be eaten or drunk, and were almost useless in the base area. Therefore, it is necessary to exchange these gold and silver for real materials before the troops are mobilized, and the soldiers also need some material rewards after fighting hard for a month.

Therefore, after the meeting ended, Ma Zheng gave each soldier a special grant of three oceans and gave all the soldiers a two-hour holiday. Let them spend all the money in these two hours, and do anything, even if you go to the restaurant to have a big meal, but you are never allowed to visit the kiln, this is the hard rule of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, the matter of purchasing materials has been going on for a long time, and due to the blockade by the Nationalist Government, the entire Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo base area is extremely short of materials. With such a good opportunity to carry private goods, Ma Zheng naturally will not let it go. On the second day after returning to Wuhan, Huang Sicheng led people to start a large-scale purchase of things needed for production and life in Wuhan, in addition to the necessary food and cloth, there were matches, edible oil, paper, inkstones, lamp oil, salt, etc.

Fortunately, Ma Zheng bought some daily necessities, which did not touch the nerves of the national government, so Lao Jiang and others also turned a blind eye to this and did not take it seriously.

On the afternoon of this day, the citizens of Wuhan suddenly found that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, who usually stayed in the barracks, suddenly poured into the streets, in groups of three or five, and made generous moves. )
