"What do you say? Commander? Yu Ting didn't have a good temperament, "You say nonsense, the commander is far away in Wei County, four or five hundred miles away, besides, if the commander comes, why didn't the Reading Brigade come?" ”

"I think it's weird, too." Wang Xiaomao scratched his head and said, "Am I dazzled?" ”

"You little rabbit, you must have lost your eyes." Yu Ting shook his head, and said to Ge Ruilin again, "Political commissar, it seems that we don't have to go to Yangliutun, Chi Laohu must be in the county seat, let's just go directly to the county seat, I also want to see, what good things did Chi Laohu get from the devil this time?" ”

"Okay." Gray Lin happily said, "Let's go." ”

Walking to the door, Gray Lin suddenly remembered something again, and admonished, "Oh yes, don't forget those two machine guns." ”

"Machine guns?" Yu Ting was puzzled, "Political commissar, I can go with you with this person, even if I compensate him, but don't bring the machine gun, right?" You said that the tiger in the pond just ate the Qiuye brigade, and also brought the arsenal in Qinghe County, the equipment is not too good, and there will be a shortage of our two crooked handles? ”

"One yard to one yard, since these two machine guns are borrowed from someone else, they have to be returned!" Ge Ruilin said seriously, "We [***] Eighth Route Army have to be trustworthy, as the so-called people don't believe if they don't have ......."

"Gotta get it." Yu Ting suddenly had two big heads, and begged for mercy again and again, "Can't I bring it?" ”

"You." Gray Lin shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Isn't it just two machine guns?" ”

With that, Gray Lin turned around and left, and Yu Ting followed out of the command headquarters with a curse behind his buttocks.

…………

Qinghe County, Baoshan Brigade Headquarters.

Yue Weihan is holding a vase in the middle of the matter, speaking from the heart, Yue Weihan's knowledge of antique calligraphy and painting is really lackluster, but since this vase can be locked in the safe by the little devil, it must be a rare treasure, it is said that in the history of the eight-year war of resistance, the cultural relics lost to the East can really be a lot.

In the sound of hurried footsteps, Liu Yi and Chi Chengfeng walked in together.

Yue Weihan's eyes were still staring at the vase, and he didn't raise his head and said, "Are you done?" ”

"Hmm." Liu Yi nodded and said, "A total of two Yuezi clubs, a branch of a Yuezi bank, plus the assets seized from the gendarmerie headquarters, this time Qinghe County, a total income of more than 150,000 yuan, more than 90,000 yuan in legal currency, and about 100,000 yuan in gold, jewelry, antiques, etc. ”

"Not bad." Yue Weihan said happily, "Little Qinghe County is so rich? ”

In the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China (1938), the legal tender of the national political axe was still quite strong, basically equivalent to Guangyang.

"What is this?" Chi Chengfeng grinned, and said Sen Ran, "Wait for tomorrow, I will lead someone to arrest those Han Annihilation Maintenance Leaders, and at least 500,000 oceans can be squeezed out of them!" ”

"Catch! But all Han annihilation will be arrested, all the blood debts will be shot, and all assets will be confiscated! Yue Weihan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said murderously, "But Lao Chi, you listen to me, we must not kill a patriot by mistake, let alone let go of a pseudo-Han annihilation!" ”

Chairman Chiang had already cut off the supply of the Baoshan Brigade, and if the Baoshan Brigade wanted to persist in the War of Resistance, it would absolutely not be able to do it without money or food, and it would have to do so without the puppet Han in the occupied areas.

However, it is also appropriate to take the pseudo-Han annihilation knife.

Chi Chengfeng said calmly: "Don't worry, you can't be wrong." ”

Liu Yi hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Brigade seat, blindly rely on the confiscation of the assets of the pseudo-Han annihilation, I am afraid that it is not a long-term solution, according to the opinion of the humble position, we should appoint local officials as soon as possible, and restore the order of production and life as soon as possible, so that our army can have a stable source of tax revenue and protracted resistance to the war......

"I know that." Yue Weihan raised his hand to stop Liu Yi and said, "But it's not time yet." ”

After saying this, Yue Weihan asked Liu Yi again: "Chief of Staff, in addition to money, how many weapons and equipment have been seized?" ”

"Brigade, this is a lot of seizures." Without waiting for Liu Yi to answer, Chi Chengfeng hurriedly said, "There are more than 1,000 Hanyang-made rifles, more than 400 old sleeves, bird guns, and fire guns, more than 50 shell guns, more than 100 Wang Ba boxes, more than 800 Type 38 rifles, 36 crooked handles, 6 Type 92 heavy machine guns, 36 grenadiers, 6 81mm mortars, 4 Type 92 infantry guns, oh yes, there are more than 20 trucks with more than a dozen side three wheels." ”

"Where's the ammunition?" Yue Weihan nodded, and said, "How much ammunition is there?" ”

"There is not much ammunition for domestically made equipment, but there is a lot of ammunition for mechanical equipment." Liu Yi said, "The details have not been counted yet, but there are five bases." ”

Five cardinal numbers, that's a lot! In the case of a rifle, for example, one base is twenty rounds, and five is one hundred! Another example is the Type 92 infantry gun, one base is 200 shells, and five bases are 1,000 rounds! Five base ammunition is enough to fight five small-scale battles, or continue to fight for half a month.

It's really lucky, Yue Weihan and Baoshan Brigade really hit the big luck this time.

Originally, the garrison in Qinghe County consisted of only one squadron of the Yue Army plus one regiment of the puppet army, and the weapons and ammunition stored in the arsenal were pitiful, but in the past month, in view of the intensification of the "banditry" in various counties in southern Hebei, Major General Segawa, who was stationed in Shijiazhuang and mixed into the 8th Brigade, decided to eliminate the "banditry," so he transferred the 7th Infantry Brigade of Akino Shaozo to come out and sweep up.

The time of the sweep is tentatively set for one month, and the ammunition given by Major General Segawa to the Akino brigade is also a month's base!

As a result, as soon as the Qiuye Brigade arrived at Qinghe County, the first stop of the sweeping plan, it let Chi Chengfeng's Chi Jiajun be completely annihilated, and the ammunition for a month was all cheap for the Baoshan Brigade.

Yue Weihan groaned: "Now that we have the money, weapons and ammunition, let's step up the expansion of the troops!" ”

After saying this, Yue Weihan said again: "Tomorrow, we will show the signboard of the Baoshan Brigade, set up recruitment offices in the county seats, towns, and townships, and the recruitment slogans should be more realistic, don't rectify the slogans of saving the country and saving the people, these are useful for young students, but not for uneducated countrymen, we have to use white-flour steamed buns and military salaries of two legal dollars per month to lobby them." ”

Speaking of this, Yue Weihan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in fact, there is a more powerful recruitment trick, that is, land reform!

If the poor middle peasants are allowed to own their own land, even if it is only a small piece, they will dare to take their lives to defend their property, and the land complex of the Chinese nation has already been deeply integrated into their bones.

In the eyes of every descendant of Yan and Huang, the land is the root of life!

For a small piece of land, the honest farmer dares to carry a hoe and rush with others; For a small piece of land, nine hammers can't smash half a fart of the stuffy gourd to chop people with a firewood knife; For a small piece of land, his uncle and aunt can send all their three sons and six grandsons to be soldiers without hesitation!

It is no exaggeration to say that if Yue Weihan is engaged in land reform and field division in Qinghe County tomorrow, then his recruitment office will be crowded by the young men in Qinghe County the day after tomorrow!

There is no doubt about it!

Unfortunately, it is not yet time for land reform.

Now is the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, even in the occupied areas, the vast majority of the landlords and squires are still interested in the national political axe, they are always looking forward to [***] can fight back, if Yue Weihan carries out land reform at this time, it will seriously frustrate their resistance to the positive surname, and will also force all the landlords and squires to the arms of Yue himself!

Such a result is by no means what Yue Weihan wants, at least at this stage, Yue Weihan does not want to see it.

Therefore, the Baoshan Brigade can only use white-flour steamed buns and two silver dollars a month to lure those landless homeless people who can't fill their stomachs, but don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of these landless people, rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, not to mention a flesh-and-blood seven-foot man? As long as there is food to eat and a military salary, these homeless people still dare to fight with their lives.

When Yue Weihan was thinking about it, Chu Zhongtian suddenly strode in and reported: "Brigade seat, there are two people outside who claim to be the captain and political commissar of the Qinghe County Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and they want to see Chi Tuanzao. ”

"Yu Ting?" Chi Chengfeng suddenly didn't have a good breath, "This rabbit cub must have heard the wind and came to fight the autumn wind, and he probably wanted to deceive two machine guns from me, go, just say that Lao Tzu is not there." ”

"Wait." Yue Weihan frowned and said, "People come from afar, why don't you see Lao Chi?" ”

Chi Chengfeng said: "You don't know, Yu Ting, that guy is not authentic, when I first came to see his county brigade was too poorly equipped, I kindly lent him two machine guns, and said that I would return it after the turret, but this guy took the machine gun and didn't return it, if it wasn't for the brigade, you repeatedly confessed, Lao Tzu would have led someone to destroy his bullshit county brigade." ”

"Shut up!" Yue Weihan said angrily, "Isn't it just two machine guns, as for you?" ”

Chi Chengfeng explained: "It's not that I'm reluctant to use two machine guns, but I can't swallow this breath, only our old Chi has always taken advantage of others, when will it be the turn of others to take advantage of us?" ”

"Alright, let's talk about it useless." Yue Weihan reprimanded Chi Chengfeng, and then said to Chu Zhongtian, "Zhongtian, go and invite the guests in." ”

Chu Zhongtian took the order and left, and soon walked in with two dirt eight roads.

Yue Weihan and Liu Yi looked back, they were two typical "dirt eight roads", the one in front looked at Tingswen, it was estimated that he was born as a scholar, and the one in the back was full of mud and smell, and he must be a mud leg, the two of them were wearing gray and simple military uniforms, leggings on their legs, and cloth shoes on their feet.

Seeing Yue Weihan, the two "Tubalu" were immediately stunned.

After a long time, the mud-legged dirt eight road behind him said in disbelief: "Commander, why are you here?" ”
