Chapter 328: The Big Deal
Political Commissar Cheng smiled and waved his hand: "Commander Hugh wants to laugh at me." I'm a poor man, I've never seen so much money, could it be that if you don't become a commander, you've seen it? ”
Zheng Weiguo smiled and did not answer. In fact, he had really seen it, and it was a real big scene, far from being comparable to these dozens of boxes in the yard. It was the first year of the crossing, the transfer of the state treasury. Zheng Weiguo was in charge of transition security at that time and participated in the whole process as the deputy commander-in-chief. I believe that people who have seen it will never forget it for the rest of their lives.
Of course, it's not uncommon for the state coffers to be so large, and it's shocking that the women's corps can capture so much. After all, the local finance in central Hebei can't come up with so much money, even the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army or the Northern Bureau can't take it if they want to.
Seeing them laughing, Xiao Tao couldn't help but poke her head out, and said in a coquettish voice: "Commander-in-chief, Deputy Commander Cheng, these gold and silver were all confiscated from the traitor's house by our female soldiers. ”
Zheng Weiguo was stunned for a moment, and said strangely: "Which traitor has so much money in his family?" ”
Chen Wanchun pursed her lips and smiled: "There is more than one, we have raided more than forty during this time, and there are seven or eight of them that are relatively wealthy. These chests were full of gold bars and oceans, and other things like antiques, porcelain, and valuables were not brought with them. ”
After entering Jizhong, Chen Wanchun couldn't stay idle and asked to "train by fighting". It happened that Duan Shuanghu's third division was short of people, so Zheng Weiguo sent the women's team to help.
Where is the three divisions located? As mentioned above, between the Yongding River and the Qingshui River. To put it more intuitively, it is the triangular area between the three points of Beiping, Tianjin and Baoding. The landlords in this area are different from other places. It is called a commercial landlord.
Unlike traditional landlords, who only lend money for profit, and collect rents from tenant land, commercial landlords mainly make profits through commercial trade, and some landlords even do a lot of business. No matter how much grain the traditional landlords collect, it can only rot in the cellar. Commercial landlords, on the other hand, can exchange it for cash, and then use it to buy real estate, and accumulate a lot of wealth like a snowball.
The Hebei Guerrilla Army's Seventh Route Meng Gechen Headquarters once confiscated a large landowner named Fan Luoyin in Shitou Village, Yixian County, and the gold bars and silver dollars that were searched alone were packed into dozens of sacks, which were transported with 18 key mules.
The Fan family is a typical commercial landlord, not only in the countryside. There are also a large number of money stores in Beiping and Tianjin. The buying and selling shops in Tianjin alone are known as "Fanjia Street". If you put it aside now, you will be one of the top 100 private entrepreneurs in the country.
When Chen Wanchun led the women's corps to the Third Division, it was at a time when the Japanese army in North China was in full contraction, and most of the county towns were under the management of puppet troops and traitors. Therefore, at that time, the main combat targets of the Third Division were the puppet army and the families of the traitor landlords.
Puppet armies are generally easier to deal with. These people have a weak will to fight (if they have the guts, they will not be puppet soldiers). When the situation is not good, the birds and beasts scatter. What is really difficult to deal with is the family members who are supported by the big traitors, some of whom have been slaves and servants in the landlord's house for generations, and are very loyal to the owner; Others are professional thugs. Perennial dancing knives and guns, has strong combat effectiveness.
In addition, those big traitors, although notorious, tend to take great care of the people of their own village. The whole village is also very united, and the sense of xenophobia is very strong. Sending a small army to fight will not win at all, and sending a large army will easily cause a large number of people to die.
During the Republic of China, the clans in the northern region were very powerful. Most of the villages in Qili and Eight Villages are old relatives, and the relationship is intertwined and very complicated. These people are the objects of anti-Japanese unity, and killing one offended family will weaken the strength of anti-Japanese resistance. Therefore, it is necessary not only to eliminate traitors, but also to kill as few people as possible, otherwise it will intensify hatred and be detrimental to the development of the base areas.
Duan Shuanghu also realized this and felt in a dilemma. Just then, the women's squad arrived. After Chen Wanchun heard about this situation, he took the initiative to ask Ying to fight. At that time, the male soldiers looked down on the female soldiers, believing that they were weak in physical strength and could not fight in combat. After several pleas, Duan Shuanghu reluctantly agreed to let Chen Wanchun give it a try.
To the dumbness of the three divisions, the women's team won a big victory in the first battle and cleanly eliminated the biggest local traitor. Then it was out of control, and dozens of traitor landlords were "eliminated" one after another. Frightened, the local traitors and puppet army leaders fled to Beiping, Tianjin, Baoding and other places overnight, and the remaining reluctant to flee also asked for surrender to the three divisions. The reputation of the women's soldiers also spread at this time, and even the common people in the rear knew that there was a team of female soldiers in the Dao Ji, who specialized in killing devils and traitors.
Political Commissar Cheng said curiously: "What the main forces of the three-division have not done, how did your women's team do it?" ”
Chen Wanchun thought for a moment and explained: "Those traitors hiding in the village are like flies flying into the rice bowl, and it is not okay to smash them with a mallet, and there must be more accurate and fast means of attacking." ”
The women's detachment in the 3rd Division adopted the "fly fighting tactics", first sending people into the villages where the target was entrenched to reconnoitre, determine the target location, draw a map of the enemy's defenses, find the holes in the defenses, and then formulate a plan of action accordingly. At the end of the month, a dark and windy night was selected to carry out the "beheading" operation.
Female soldiers do have some unexpected advantages over male soldiers. For example, in the reconnaissance session, a male scout is often recognized by the villagers as soon as he enters the village. Female soldiers are different, even if the villagers look at their faces, they are generally not vigilant.
In addition, women are born actors, beggars, matchmakers, midwives, and troupes, what do they look like, entering and leaving the village as if they were in a no-man's land, and sometimes they can even directly enter the traitor's house to "step on the spot".
Another example is the offensive link, the slightest mistake of the male soldier may lead to the exposure of the operation. Female soldiers are different, and most of the soldiers on alert will come over curiously to check when they hear a woman's voice, rather than choosing to fire a warning shot at the first time.
Political Commissar Cheng was very happy to hear this, and said to Chen Wanchun: "Captain Chen, you have completed this mission very well!" Commander, should our military district be rewarded? ”
Zheng Weiguo nodded and smiled: "Yes, those dozens of boxes of gold and silver can cover our military expenses for a year, which is to solve the urgent need of the military region!" ”
Political Commissar Cheng nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Not bad." If you don't fight a big battle, you should be able to grow a little longer. ”
Xiao Tao suddenly said: "Actually, there are still a lot of big households in the third division, how much will it cost if they are all raided, but it's a pity that Commander Duan won't let us do it." ”
Chen Wanchun glared at her angrily and scolded: "What nonsense! We are all traitors, how can those who are not traitors be copied? If we have money, we will copy whoever we have, and we will not become bandits. ”
Xiao Tao pursed her lips and said unhappily: "I didn't do it now, I will do it sooner or later, don't copy it now." At that time, all this money will fall into the hands of the devil. ”
Political Commissar Cheng didn't expect Xiao Tao to dare to be the face of the chief and deputy commander to contradict his superiors. quipped: "This lesbian is quite powerful, like a little leopard." ”
Xiao Tao likes other people's praise the most, and said happily: "Deputy Commander Cheng, do you think I am right?" ”
Political Commissar Cheng glanced at Zheng Weiguo. Shaking his head, he said, "You do have some truth in that. But we can't do that. ”
Xiao Tao said depressedly: "What are you doing? ”
Zheng Weiguo explained: "The first is not to go against the policy of the anti-Japanese national united front; Second. Taking the initiative against the land for no reason will cause panic among the wealthy strata in the base area; Third, it is possible to force some people to the Japanese side, which is not conducive to the stability of the base areas. ”
Little Peach stuck out her tongue. Said adoringly: "Commander-in-chief, you are really powerful, you can say such a big reason at once!" Teach me quickly, the captain said that as long as I study hard, I will be the captain of the detachment. ”
Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "I can't compare to Lao Cheng when it comes to reasoning, if you want to learn, learn from Deputy Commander Cheng!" ”
Political Commissar Cheng smiled, ignored this stubble, and suggested: "Commander, it seems that female soldiers still have an advantage on some specific occasions. I think the size of the women's corps could be expanded a little further. Divisions 1 and 2 also encountered a number of problems, and the dispatch of female soldiers may have miraculous results. ”
Zheng Weiguo nodded and said, "Well, the number of people can be increased appropriately, but it may not be possible in the near future." ”
Political Commissar Cheng was puzzled: "What is it for?" ”
Zheng Weiguo turned his head to the pillar that was cleaning up his belongings and said, "Pillar, you send the internal security troops to send this batch of materials to the logistics department." He said to Political Commissar Cheng and Chen Wanchun: "Old Cheng, Wanchun, you two come in with me." With that, he walked towards the war room.
Xiao Tao pouted and asked, "Commander-in-chief, what about me?" ”
Zheng Weiguo thought for a moment and smiled: "This is a confidential meeting, you can't come in for the time being." ”
The women's team was originally directed by Zheng Weiguo himself, and the training method was basically the same as that of the special forces, but the training intensity was halved. Later, Zheng Weiguo gradually found that his set was not suitable for female soldiers, because female soldiers were born with insufficient physical strength, and no matter how hard they trained, they were only slightly stronger than the combat effectiveness of the troops, and they were even inferior to the sharp knife companies of ordinary troops.
In this case, there is no point in spending a lot of effort on training female soldiers, because the same amount of energy and time spent on male soldiers is enough to bring out two companies with good combat effectiveness.
Just when Zheng Weiguo was considering turning the women's soldiers into militia troops, the troops caught a Japanese female spy in an operation, who was Sakurako's cousin, a Chinese-Japanese. The female spy expressed her willingness to cooperate, and Zheng Weiguo asked her to serve as an instructor in the women's corps for a period of time.
I have to say that Japan's means of training spies are still very good. After some training, the combat effectiveness of the women's corps has been rapidly improved, but the style of the unit has become more casual. Because spies belong to the category of secret agents, they are very different from the military, and they often have to disguise themselves as civilians in peacetime, and the traces of soldiers should be covered as much as possible.
With the development of the women's corps, this situation is becoming more and more obvious, like Xiao Tao is just a non-commissioned officer, and she dares to intervene in front of Zheng Weiguo and Political Commissar Cheng, which is absolutely not allowed in other troops.
When they arrived at the war room, Zheng Weiguo casually put the sour plum soup aside and said to them: "When you are thirsty, make your own tea, I won't be too lazy to do it." ”
Political Commissar Cheng smiled and said, "The commander can't be too picky, I have already smelled it, is there sour plum soup in the jar?" Hurry up and bring us a drink. ”
Zheng Weiguo said with a smile: "Count your nose smart, but I just drank it with a jar, if you don't dislike me, I will fall." ”
Political Commissar Cheng said nonchalantly: "When I was on the Long March, I drank horse urine, and I was still afraid of this!" ”
Wanchun's eyes widened and she said in surprise, "Ah, how do you drink it?" ”
Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Don't listen to him's nonsense." The next time he's going to say that, bring him a cup of horse urine and let him drink it on the spot. ”
Political Commissar Cheng snorted and scolded with a smile: "Go, Chengxin will block me, right?" As he spoke, he raised his glass and threw it up, and after drinking, he stretched out the cup again, urging: "Quick, fill it for me again!" ”
Zheng Weiguo said: "Wait a minute, I'll pour Wanchun a cup first." ”
Wanchun waved her hand and smiled: "Commander-in-chief, this soup was boiled for you by Zhilan, right?" I don't want it. ”
Political Commissar Cheng was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, and said, "Forget it, I'll just have a drink!" Then he said to Zheng Weiguo: "Commander, what are your orders for calling us?" ”
Zheng Weiguo put the jar aside and explained: "Feng Kun has received news from Tianjin, saying that he is planning to do two big deals recently, and he has asked us to urgently send more manpower. ”
Political Commissar Cheng hurriedly said: "What kind of business?" ”
Zheng Weiguo walked to the window and looked at it, opened the door again, and said in a low voice: "Zhengjin Bank and the Japanese army's material warehouse in Tianjin. ”
"What?" Political Commissar Cheng was startled and stood up in shock. (To be continued......)
