Chapter 146: Treasure

After a day's meeting, the matter of rent reduction and interest reduction was still not fully implemented, Lin Sanhu walked out of the door and looked at the moon in the deep mountains, and sighed.

Luo Ronghuan didn't know where he got two apples, handed one to Lin Sanhu and said, "How is it, division commander?" I still feel comfortable fighting. ”

Lin Sanhu shook his head with a smile, took the apple and said, "In the final analysis, we have not made our own name, and the people do not trust us, and they dare not take the initiative to ask for rent and interest reductions." The unit has also been repaired for more than half a month, and I think it is ready to start a new battle. As long as we let the people see that we are really fighting against Japan, fighting devils, and winning devils, the people will naturally support us. ”

Luo Ronghuan nodded and said, "I also have some thoughts about this, division commander, you see that most of the devils are concentrated in the cities now, their puppet government has not yet been established, the vast countryside is now a power vacuum, Yan Xishan's troops are all gathered in Jinnan, we should take advantage of this great opportunity to quickly expand our influence." ”

Lin Sanhu pinched the apple and said, "The devil has just conquered Shanxi, and he will definitely find a way to collect the supplies in Shanxi, and we can let the troops disperse and attack the various squads of the devil." At the same time, establish political power in the countryside. ”

Luo Ronghuan said with a smile: "Just like Mr. Zhu said, militia organizations have been established in various townships and towns. Each village has a village squad, a township has a squadron, and a county town has a brigade, plus our main force of the Eighth Route Army, so that the devils will fall into our guerrilla warfare network and quagmire, so that they will not be able to get out or enter, and they will be caught in the middle and suffer to death. ”

Speaking of fighting, Lin Sanhu's eyes lit up, his whole person seemed to have changed, and he didn't eat the apple, but grabbed Luo Ronghuan and said, "Let's go." We immediately assigned combat missions and got the fighters moving. ”

Luo Ronghuan saw that Lin Sanhu had spirits, and happily replied, "Yes, let the devil have a good year." ”

Modern warfare is an extremely expensive war, although the Japanese army was overwhelmed in 1937. However, more than 100,000 casualties and a large amount of ammunition consumption led to a surge in military spending, and the Japanese government's general budget for 1937 alone was insufficient to cover 820 million or even 2.56 billion yen for the war of aggression against China, which had to be raised as a special supplementary budget.

In order to make up for these military expenditures, the Japanese government has vigorously recovered China's precious metals on the one hand, and has vigorously exploited China's mineral resources on the other.

In the Datong coalfield, as early as the 20s of the 20th century, there were nearly 1,000 small coal kilns, and more than 80 large ones. And since September 37, the Japanese army captured Datong. The mining area was placed under the jurisdiction of the puppet Mongolian Xinjiang government, and the Jinbei Mining Bureau and Datong Baojin Branch were merged into the Datong Coal Mine, and the South Manchurian Railway Co., Ltd. was entrusted to take over. In October, the South Manchuria Railway Co., Ltd. took over the mines. At this time, Datong Coal Mine consists of Yongding Zhuang Pit, Coal Yukou Pit, Baojin Pit, Baidong Pit, and Explosives Manufacturing Factory.

Mantetsu, a name filled with countless blood. In the nearly three decades since its inception in 1906, the Manchurian Railway has expanded in size to become the East India Company of Japan. It is called a colonial commune by outsiders. Nearly 250,000 people are employed.

As long as you know how much of Manchurian's assets are, you can get a glimpse of how much he has assets, and the inventory of his assets was not completely completed until 1957.

Japanese companies and armies such as the Manchurian Railway became the two hands that plundered China's resource property.

At this time, the Datong coalfield was already full of plaster flags. Countless workers worked day and night under the whip of the Japanese army, and in the morning sun, trucks full of coal were ready to transport the coal to nearby stations, and then to Tohoku and even Japan by rail.

An armored car cleared the way at the front. There were several Japanese soldiers sitting on the coal pile, and the officers led by them rode tall horses.

"Lieutenant Limbaugh, I heard that guerrillas have appeared here recently?" A Japanese man dressed as a merchant looked around nervously, afraid that he would kill a man and a horse when he would come out.

The officer smiled and said, "It's just some little thieves." It's no better than Manchuria, but no one will dare to attack a convoy with imperial escorts. ”

Not far from them, a strangely dressed troop in a straw hat was slowly waiting for them to enter the ambush circle.

"Captain, is this really going to fight devils?" A young man wearing a torn cotton jacket and his face was red from the cold, and he didn't know whether he was cold or nervous, and his hands kept shaking.

The captain was called a middle-aged man, who looked like he was in his thirties, looking at the little ghost next to him, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, his name was Hu Tian, he was originally a platoon commander of the 115th Division, and he killed a lot of devils in Pingxingguan, and the battle of Qinglong Town in the back was also good. I thought that I was called by the regiment commander to promote myself to company commander, or to buy some weapons in my platoon, but it turned out to be a promotion. But he was promoted to the captain of the county brigade, and led a group of peasants who were willing to fight devils to cooperate with the main force.

Hu Tian thought about the Soviet rifle he was holding before, as well as the grinding machine gun that was energetic when he looked at it, and then looked at what kind of red tassel gun and big knife he was holding now, and the team of more than 100 people only had a dozen 38 big covers, and this was really a return to Jinggangshan.

Soon, the convoy came to the front of everyone, and Hu Tian tightly grasped the Mauser pistol in his hand.

"Boom" A huge explosion kicked off this small ambush battle.

"Yaga, what's going on?" Lin Bo shouted, but saw countless fires suddenly appearing on the hillside next to him, and a burst of grenades fell from the mountain.

But the number of Japanese troops was too small, but a small team, about 50 people, was killed in the face of a sudden attack, and the rest could only use the truck as a cover to continue to counterattack.

"Rush!! Kill the devil!! I don't know who started the charge first, and the team of two or three hundred people rushed towards the Japanese convoy.

Hu Tian looked at the chaotic militia and the company commander who was staring at him, and he didn't know where to put his face, he hadn't given an order yet, how could he charge at will.

Sure enough, the disorderly charge caused additional casualties, and the Japanese machine guns placed on the roof of the car quickly killed a dozen civilian soldiers who rushed to the front.

"Sharpshooter!! Kill him for me. The company commander who led the team shouted.

Only one fighter was seen slowly aiming. A single shot knocked the frantic Japanese machine gunners to the side.

Hu Tian shouted: "Obey the order!" Push your body down, machine gunner cover! Grenades, throw grenades! ”

The battle ended in less than twenty minutes, Hu Tian looked at the corpses of the soldiers lined up in front of him, thinking about their excitement before leaving, Hu Tian's tears slowly remained.

"Hu Tian. Look at the soldiers you led, disobey the command on the battlefield, how did you do it, fortunately the enemy is very weak this time, you go back to me to train your soldiers well! The company commander walked over and roared.

Hu Tian didn't dare to refute and nodded. The company commander continued, "These guns and ammunition are left to you, remember to go back to vigorously publicize and complete the tasks of the organization." ”

Hu Tian looked at the soldiers who were excitedly holding guns, walked over and crossed his waist and said, "Are you happy?" Let's look at these comrades again. Are you still happy? ”

Everyone who was still talking and laughing slowly stopped talking, and then suddenly found that there were many familiar figures around them.

Hu Tian continued to admonish: "These comrades are all caused by our inadequate training and not obeying the command in battle, if it weren't for the comrades-in-arms of the Eighth Route Army this time, we would have been wiped out and would not have been able to defeat these devils." What do you say? ”

A soldier stood up and said, "Captain, we also have guns now, let's go back and practice hard, we will definitely be able to fight well." ”

Hu Tian nodded and said, "Okay." Everyone took their comrades home. ”

Hu Tian's soldiers immediately caused a sensation when they returned to the village, and no one thought that these guerrillas with red tassel guns and broadswords could really defeat the devils. Soon everyone in the neighborhood knew that there was a guerrilla force that could defeat the devils, and there were many guns, and many young people who were dissatisfied with the Japanese rule came to defect, and the guerrillas began to gain a real foothold in various villages.

"Yaga!! In just half a month. There were hundreds of incidents of the Imperial Army being attacked by the guerrillas, and the Imperial Army was killed in the battle of nearly 1,000 people!! You're all damned! Kawagishi Bunzaburo in Taiyuan City looked at the report and threw it to the ground.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, there are a large number of Chinese guerrillas in Shanxi now, and I am afraid that our imperial army alone will not be able to do it. It is still necessary to learn from the experience of Manchuria and use the Chinese to deal with the Chinese people. A staff officer replied.

Kawagishi Fumizaburo nodded and said, "Go and send a telegram to General Terauchi immediately." Report our thoughts, and besides, order the troops not to go out alone recently, and at least one squad of troops to leave the stronghold, these damned guerrillas! As he spoke, Kawagishi Bunzaburo slammed the table desperately.

Situ Meitang looked at Jiang Cheng in front of him, sighed and said, "I didn't expect the domestic war situation to be so out of control. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "The atmosphere in the country is very bad now, but the vast majority of people have not given up resistance, Japan's ambitions will not succeed, about the problem of pilots I said, do you have any opinions?" ”

Situ Meitang took a breath and said, "There are very popular aviation clubs here in the United States, but most of them are gliders, and there are not many really advanced aircraft, so my idea is to simply set up one by ourselves and buy our own planes to train in the United States." ”

When Jiang Cheng heard this, he agreed, "Okay, let's do it, let's choose two hundred people in the first batch, don't be afraid to spend money, money is earned for spending." ”

Situ Meitang touched his beard and said, "Okay, just have your words." ”

After sending Situ Meitang away, Jiang Cheng called Zhang Ye and asked, "How is the matter with the film company?" ”

Zhang Ye replied with a smile: "Everything has begun to go on the track, don't worry." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "There is a list here, you let people find them, don't do anything, just know where these people are, and pay attention to confidentiality." ”

Zhang Ye took the envelope and said he understood.

Jiang Cheng stood up and said, "I have to go to Germany again, help me arrange a plane." ”

At this time, I saw Situ Meitang, who had just gone out, and walked back angrily.

Jiang Cheng asked curiously, "What's wrong?" Did something make the old man angry? ”

Situ Meitang took a newspaper and handed it to Jiang Cheng and said, "Look at it, the little devil is too deceitful!" ”

Jiang Cheng looked at it, his eyes were red, but it was a Japanese newspaper, which prominently published the killing competition held by the Japanese army in Nanjing, and the difference from history is that this time not only describes the 100-person killing competition between Toshiaki Mukai and Noda Takeshi, but also the killing competition between various squads and bands.

Jiang Cheng put the newspaper in a mess and said to Zhang Ye coldly, "Go, send newspapers to Europe, buy the headlines of various newspapers, and publicize the atrocities of the Japanese army." ‘

At this time, Tokyo was immersed in a joyful atmosphere, and the fall of Nanjing made all the Japanese crazy, countless people took to the streets to celebrate Japan's victory, and countless people came to the Japanese Imperial Palace to kowtow to the Japanese emperor.

Nanjing, on the other hand, was in a sea of blood, and Japan's embarrassing economy was in desperate need of additional replenishment, and looting China's wealth became the best and fastest option.

Countless doors of houses were kicked open, unless the flags of European and American countries were planted, they all became the target of looting, and a Japanese soldier in the room saw a woman wearing gold and silver jewelry and directly cut off the arm wearing a gold bracelet with bushido, looking at the tumbling woman laughing, picking up the arm and taking the gold bracelet and throwing the arm to the woman.

Countless people's belongings were looted, and the specific amount was guessed to be 6,000 tons of gold in the later "Golden Samurai", although it is not necessarily accurate, but the wealth looted can be imagined.

When Matsui returned to Nanjing, he didn't expect that these people could actually do this.

Matsui Ishine looked at the stacks of gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings in the warehouse, and was stunned.

King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya opened a box, which was full of gems, and there were quite a few blood stains on them, making these gems emit a strange light.

"Great, Your Royal Highness, these things will surely make His Majesty the Emperor happy." Matsui Ishone grabbed the gem and enjoyed the sensation of the gem slipping between his fingers.

King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya nodded and said, "It's about to be New Year's Day, so I think we can fly some of the loot back to Tokyo and show it to His Majesty the Emperor and the people." The others were then shipped to Manchuria, sorted out and recast, and then used. ”

Matsui nodded in agreement, and walked with King Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, when a newspaper caught his attention, with a report on the killing match of two Japanese officers.

Matsui Ishone asked in horror, "Who reported this?" ”

King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace said indifferently, "What's the matter?" Wouldn't it be nice to let more people know about the Emperor's Warriors' record? ”

Matsui Ishine didn't know what to say about this prince, so he stomped his foot and said, "Such a thing will make our empire get a bad reputation in the international community, and His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be angry." ”

King Hatohiko of the Asaka Palace remembered that his good nephew loves face the most, and if there are foreign newspapers saying that this is a butcher's behavior, it will be bad, but those European and American white animals are also really, what about killing some people, what about making a fuss.

Matsui Ishone thought for a moment and said, "It's better to transport our loot to Tokyo immediately and show it to His Majesty the Emperor, so that His Majesty the Emperor can dissipate his anger." ”

The two came to the airport with a few truckloads of treasures, and several strong men slowly transported boxes of treasures to the plane.

"Help me say hello to His Majesty the Emperor." Matsui Shigen said to the envoy on behalf of the dispatched army, only to see the plane slowly taxiing, but it couldn't fly, there was no way to check, it was actually carrying too much goods, resulting in the plane could not fly, Matsui Shigen had to let the three planes separate, which allowed the plane to fly.
