The study at the division headquarters was a month, and the students who were at the same time as Yuan Pengfei had already returned to the team on time. He was the only one who was quite valued by the division commander, and he stayed in the division headquarters for more than two months before letting him return.

When he returned to the Independent Regiment, he also received a unique treatment.

Li Yunlong sat cross-legged on the kang, tilted his head and squinted his eyes, and said, "Our Yuan Dacai is back, why don't you stay at the division headquarters?" ”

"Hehe, Commander, don't I miss you! This is the high-grade Shanxi Fenjiu that I specially got from the head of the division headquarters, and I honor you. ”

Yuan Pengfei looked like a dog, took out two bottles of Fenjiu from his arms, and respectfully placed them on the table.

He knew that Li Yunlong was not jealous of him, but was just dissatisfied with his long-term separation from the army and his impact on the development of the second battalion. As long as you respectfully admit your mistake and go down with two bottles of wine, you will be sure that there is no problem.

Sure enough, as he expected, Li Yunlong, a guy who is addicted to alcohol, immediately bought him with two bottles of Shanxi Fenjiu. For the accountability that was prepared at the beginning, the shadow of the loss is gone.

Political Commissar Zhao has lost hope of quitting Li Yunlong's alcohol addiction, but he will not be indifferent to it.

"Uh-huh." He coughed lightly: "Lao Li, now is not the time to drink!" I will store this wine for you first, and come to me when you drink. ”

Li Yunlong has been a little unlucky in recent months, he has been drinking home-brewed sweet potato roast, and the taste of Fenjiu has already hooked his alcohol addiction, and he can't wait to open it and drink two bowls now.

How could it be possible for Zhao Gang to rob this Hu!

He hugged the two bottles of wine into his arms, "Lao Zhao, I have a sense of proportion when drinking, you better do the right thing first!" ”

Li Yunlong is a wolf, if you force it hard, he will dare to turn your face and bare your teeth. Zhao Gang had already figured out his true nature, and of course he wouldn't stimulate him on this head.

It's just that I secretly thought in my heart: I must keep an eye on him more recently, and I must not let him get drunk.

Zhao Gang: "Yuan Pengfei, tell me what you have seen and heard in the division headquarters, and I also call on comrades to study and study. ”

Yuan Pengfei did not stay in vain for three months, learned some new tactics and tactics, and learned about the optimistic anti-Japanese attitude of some headquarters leaders.

But the biggest insight is still one word - poverty.

After staying in the division headquarters for three months, Yuan Pengfei not only lost a few pounds, but also his mouth was about to fade out. Only then did he realize that the food of the Independent Regiment was not the worst, and there were even worse than them.

How to say it, because the independent regiment often fights, and sometimes with good luck, it can improve the food by robbing the transport team of the devils. Let's just say that in the last ambush battle, the whole regiment ate a beautiful meal of meat.

Sometimes some seizures are made from the hands of the devils and puppet soldiers, and some do not need to be handed over, but they are processed and sold to the common people on the spot, and they can also make some extra money and buy more food.

Not to mention how well the independent regiment ate, at least there was no hunger in the whole regiment. You can also eat some meat and gnaw a few bones in a month or half a month to make your stomach a little oily.

But after going to the division headquarters, it was a cry without tears!

Because he cleaned up a group of puppet troops halfway, he also scavenged a little money from them, plus what he brought, there were a total of more than a dozen oceans, and he was also a little tyrant in the Eighth Route Army.

At that time, he thought that the division headquarters could only provide the most standard meals, so I would buy it! Real money, fellow can't help but sell it to me!

But absolutely!

The monk rode a horse for a radius of 20 miles, and he was stunned that he didn't even buy a single chicken feather.

As soon as I inquired, when the devils swept away, the people in the base area ran away, but the chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep that they didn't have time to take away were all caught.

The cubs that the Eighth Route Army had just brought from other regions had not yet been fed, so they couldn't be bought even if they had money.

There was no way to force it, so the monk used his housekeeping skills to catch rabbits. He went out early and returned late, and after two days of wandering in the wilderness, his eyes were green, but he didn't even see a rabbit's tail.

In the end, it was a fellow from the division headquarters who had just known each other for a few days who told them. The division tribe Tiger, Hidden Dragon, also has two good rabbit catchers, and they have already caught all the rabbits in this neighborhood and added food to the personnel of the division headquarters.

Yuan Pengfei, who was extremely hungry, could only accept this fact miserably. However, he still inquired in many ways and figured out why, the reason why the Eighth Route Army was so poor.

The central government paid the Eighth Route Army 45,000 men for the three divisions of the Eighth Route Army according to the agreement.

The 630,000 yuan of legal currency issued to the army every month includes 300,000 yuan for living expenses, 200,000 yuan for war expenses, 50,000 yuan for subsidies, 10,000 yuan for medical subsidies, and 70,000 yuan for allowances and military stations.

The number of the Eighth Route Army increased dramatically, reaching more than 400,000 in 1940, and the average person was less than one and a half fiat dollars. And that's not the worst thing, the worst thing is the depreciation of the fiat currency and the skyrocketing prices.

For example, the cost of a military uniform was 2 yuan in 1939, and in 1940 it rose to 5 yuan.

A Yuan Datou was exchanged for 3 to 5 yuan of fiat currency in 37 years, but by this year, it could be exchanged for 16-20 yuan of fiat currency, so no one was willing to do it, and the degree of depreciation can be seen.

The meagre salaries that the Eighth Route Army received from the Kuomintang were simply not enough, and it was difficult to make ends meet.

The deputy commander-in-chief is entrusted by the commander-in-chief to be in charge of the funds of the whole army.

In January 1938, under his auspices, for the first time, a uniform standard of supply was established for the whole army, and the standard of food was based on the minimum needs of combat life.

1.5 catties of millet, 3 coins of oil, 3 catties of meat, and 1 catty of vegetables per person per day (calculated according to 16 taels and one catty);

The allowance is generally 5 yuan per month for cadres at the division and brigade level, 4 yuan for regimental and battalion level, 3 yuan for company level, 2 yuan for platoon level, 1.5 yuan for sergeant, and 1 yuan for soldiers.

The commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and other headquarters leaders insisted on receiving only 5 yuan in allowances like division and brigade commanders.

Due to the coarse food, the deputy commander-in-chief often had hemorrhoids and blood in his stool, but he still refused to give him special life care.

He often said, "Everyone has salt and salt, and no salt is light." Grit your teeth and tide over the difficulties together. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Gang was deeply touched and said: "The revolutionary spirit of such a hard struggle of the head of the headquarters is worth learning from. Tomorrow, I will call on all the cadres of the regiment to hold a meeting to remember the bittersweet and sweet.

Lao Li, there are still some canned Japanese food in the regiment, we might as well send them to the division headquarters and do our best."

At this kind of moment, Li Yunlong is still very knowledgeable, "Lao Zhao, I don't have a problem with this, the division is having such a hard time, it's our turn to do some." In addition, the regiment headquarters also has some rich funds, so let's send them over! ”

"Lao Li, is this the ............?"

Zhao Gang hesitated a little, the funds in the regiment were for purpose, and the autumn harvest would be in two months, and this money would be used to buy food. If they can't get enough food, the warriors' stomachs won't be filled.

"Lao Zhao, isn't it just a little bit of food and drink, the little devil has it, and after two days, he will have everything." Li Yunlong said nonchalantly.

He didn't say that it was okay, but Zhao Gang was even more worried, for fear that he would stab Lou Zi and make something out of control.
