Kong Jie left like this, leaving with the independent regiment team in style.

The team went in batches, according to the size of two battalions at a time, Kong Jie led the third battalion and the seventh battalion of recruits on his last trip.

In addition, the cavalry company, guard company, commando team, and mortar company directly under the regiment were added, plus the repair and health centers built at the regimental station, and so on.

This last group of teams is the largest.

While walking on the road, Kong Jie gathered the cadres at the end of the team and held a meeting with the army.

The main discussion was how to quickly establish a firm foothold in the area around Niukou Village, where the new station was stationed, and develop the base area and guerrilla zone.

Kong Jie smiled and asked the opinions of the cadres.

Wang Huaibao, commander of the third battalion, took the lead in speaking: "Regiment commander, how to open up a base area, our independent regiment has gained a lot of experience in the past six months. I think that after we arrive in Niukou Village, our experience in the development of Yang Village can come in handy, even if it is copied, it is also appropriate. ”

"On the one hand, we have to engage in the construction of base areas; On the other hand, we must step up efforts to strengthen the military training of the whole regiment, establish an intelligence system that combines the enemy's engineering department and the intelligence department, and keep watch out for the movements of the Japanese army in the surrounding counties and towns at any time. On the other hand, it is necessary to combine the development of the masses in the overall defense work of the surrounding villages, as well as the rapid construction and training of militia organizations, so as to provide supplementary soldiers for our main force at any time. ”

Kong Jie smiled and nodded, these three battalion commanders are always hidden, and the general summary is quite comprehensive, that is, the first battalion commander and the second battalion commander are not here, so he opened his mouth to express his opinion.

"So which step do you think must be carried out first?"

At this moment, the cadres were a little hesitant, and some said that of course, they should first take a firm foothold and carry out the construction of the base areas.

Some said that combining with the masses is the most important thing.

Others said that the establishment of an intelligence system and military training in the regiment were the most important.

In the end, everyone argued, and their eyes converged on Kong Jie's body.

are waiting for the head of the regiment, Kong Jie, to finally make an idea!

Kong Jie thought for a moment, smiled and said six words, "If you want to stand up, first make a name!" ”

"Commander, what do you mean?" Zhu Wu, the commander of the Ninth Company, was still as straight as ever, and when he had doubts, he was the first to ask.

Kong Jie said: "It's very simple, our independent group can actually be compared to a large group, or to a person, you want to live in a new village, whether it is to build a house, find a job so that you don't starve to death, or to build a good relationship with the surrounding relatives, although these are all important, but the first thing you have to do is to let the village accept you, so that you are eligible to move in." ”

"Now our independent regiment is stationed in Niukou Village for the same reason, first of all, we have to start the reputation of our independent regiment, so that the people will accept us, sincerely recognize us, and be willing to cooperate with us in various anti-Japanese work, then everything will go much smoother."

Wang Huaibao said with a smile: "Regiment commander, this is easy to say, the common people are originally more cordial to our Eighth Route Army, and this mass work is not difficult to do." On the one hand, it is communication, and on the other hand, according to our previous experience, we will be able to maintain the association in the place where we suppress bandits and fight devils, and we will soon be able to establish the prestige of our independent regiment in this area. ”

Kong Jie said with a smile: "The third battalion commander is right, these are things that should be done, and in addition, we can also add a way with ingenuity." ”

"Commander, do you have any good ideas again?" Wang Huaibao asked.

Kong Jie smiled and asked, "Dong San, how is the coin reserve in the logistics of our post-independent regiment?" ”

Dong San replied: "Regiment commander, we still have a lot of spare money, all of which have been captured and accumulated after winning battles again and again, and the last time you attacked the arsenal and hospital of the North China Public Security Army, you robbed a bank along the way, so the money accumulated is enough to support our whole regiment for nearly a year." ”

"It's a lot." Kong Jie nodded, and then asked, "What kind of money is it?" ”

Dong Sandao: "There are quite a lot of types, including silver dollars, fiat currency, and day tickets. ”

"What do the people like the most?"

"Hehe, regiment commander, it must be Yuan Datou, this thing has always been the most recognized by the people, as for the fiat currency, before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it was relatively stable, the credibility was not bad, and the people were willing to accept it, but after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, especially this year, the national army announced that it could not freely exchange fiat currency, and the credit of fiat currency plummeted, and now in the eyes of the people, it is even better than a day ticket."

Kong Jie said: "Then use silver dollars and day tickets!" ”

"Commander, what are you going to do?" Dong San wondered.

Kong Jie said: "Exchange copper dollars." ”

Dong San was puzzled: "Change the copper yuan?" ”

Kong Jie said: "That is, the copper plate, a large number of coins minted in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, this copper dollar is different from the square hole copper coins of the past dynasties, there is no hole in the middle, and the value of the currency itself is not high, less than a few cents, and more than a few dimes."

But don't ignore the material of the copper plate itself, this is a good copper material, and the copper element itself has a copper content of more than 90%, which can basically be said to be made of copper.

This copper is an important strategic material, bullet casings, artillery shells, and wire cores are all made of copper, and there are many weapons that are inseparable from copper.

In that case, why don't we collect these copper dollars and use them as raw materials to make bullets? ”

Dong San suddenly realized: "That's right, head of the regiment, why didn't I think of it?" According to the current production process of our repair institute, almost one copper dollar can produce a bullet, this copper dollar is not expensive, a piece of ocean can even be exchanged for a hundred, and now it will be exchanged for more, every copper dollar hoarded, that is a bullet, if the copper dollar is enough, we are still worried about no bullets? ”

Kong Jie said: "This is a mutually beneficial and win-win thing, now the copper dollar on the market is basically not very circulating, and the people mainly recognize the silver dollar, as well as various tickets."

However, the Qing government minted a large number of copper dollars, and it was impossible to disappear out of thin air, and there should still be a lot of them in the hands of the people.

We can recover these copper dollars from the people at five or even ten times the price and use them as raw materials for the production of bullets.

In this way, we have the raw materials for the production of bullets, and the people have also gained tangible benefits from it.

In addition to suppressing bandits and fighting devils, the maintenance club will bring a relatively stable life to the people around the station, and the team that can really bring benefits to the people and let the people improve their lives is a good team.

And how can the lives of the people be improved? You have to give them more votes in their hands, and that's the happiness that the people can actually experience. ”

The warriors came to their senses that this method was absolutely feasible, and the people would definitely welcome it.

Only Dong San on the side was still calculating the difference, and after a while, Dong San smiled bitterly: "Commander, but these copper dollars are exchanged, we can only use them as raw materials for the production of ammunition, and we can't spend them as currency, in this way, our reserves of coins will only get smaller and smaller, I am afraid that our money is not enough, and sooner or later we will not be able to make ends meet." ”

Kong Jie said: "You have drilled a dead end, these coins we left should have been used to buy raw materials for the production of military industry, copper is a scarce strategic material, the devil is very strictly controlled, there is no market, we basically can't find any good way to buy."

In other words, it is much more convenient to hoard copper dollars, and the price of copper dollars themselves is not expensive.

In addition, you don't have to worry about money, whether it is a silver dollar or a day ticket, I will find a way to get it back for you.

In addition, it is not that our independent regiment will not have no income in the future, we can fight with the little devils on the one hand, and do business with the little devils on the other, and earn a little money to buy military supplies. ”

Dong San said: "Yes, head of the regiment, I am relieved if you say so." ”
