Time is always passing quickly and unconsciously.

In the blink of an eye, it's January, the first day.

After the establishment of the Republic of China, the whole country changed to the solar calendar, that is, the 13th day of November in the old calendar was the first day of the first year of the Republic of China.

There is also the festival of New Year's Day.

But in fact, for a long time since the establishment of the official holiday of New Year's Day, both official and non-governmental organizations have not been interested in the newly set "New Year's Day".

Most of the people, as usual, like to celebrate the old year.

The pomp and circumstance on New Year's Day is far from the Spring Festival.

Today's weather is good, there is no more continuous cold wind like a blade outside, and after the sun comes out in the morning, the sun shines on the body, and it finally feels a little warmer.

Regiment headquarters.

Dong San, director of the logistics department, was reporting to Kong Jie on the materials and equipment captured by the independent regiment during the Iron Triangle joint operation.

"Regiment commander, almost all of our regiment participated in the battle this time, and even the cavalry company was not left behind."

"Aside from the batch of equipment sent to the brigade commander, guess how much?"

Kong Jie raised his hand to make a posture of beating people, and said with a smile: "You kid has also learned to beat around the bush, say it quickly!" ”

"Yes!"

"Regiment commander, our combat capture this time, it is quite rich, let's talk from top to bottom, three mountain guns, eight mortars, fifteen grenadiers, four heavy machine guns, twenty-five light machine guns, Jin-made 65 rifles, Hanyang-made, 38-type rifles, a total of more than 1,800 rifles of various types, more than 300 pistols, more than 80 boxes of grenades, a total of more than 60,000 bullets of various calibers, 23 war horses, and all kinds of military supplies......"

Dong San said it in one breath, and his face was about to smile crookedly.

At this moment, he, the head of the logistics department, had a bulging pocket, and he had enough confidence to speak.

"Good boy, well done, our independent group is such a big mess, I am stunned to let your kid manage it in an orderly manner."

For Dong San, Kong Jie did not hesitate to praise.

Dong San said: "Regiment commander, it's really not difficult to manage logistics, as long as you give me abundant supplies, you will give me a division, and I will also take care of it for you!" ”

Kong Jie scolded with a smile: "You kid is really not subtle at all. ”

As soon as the conversation changed, Kong Jie said: "It's just that everything has to be done for a long time, and now that the logistics materials in our regiment are abundant, we have to save them."

Now that the situation is a little better, we can still get such a seizure.

But in the future, life will become more and more difficult, and it is not a simple matter to rely on capture to maintain the food and drink of more than 2,500 soldiers of our independent regiment, including the consumption of combat equipment and ammunition.

Seizures alone are certainly not enough.

We still have to do our own production, and it's best that we can do some business ourselves to continue to supply the logistics needs of our independent regiment. ”

Dong Sanying said: "Yes, please rest assured that our logistics department will definitely plan the use of materials reasonably."

As for business, hehe, Minister Xu and I have actually been discussing it for several days. ”

Speaking of being Xu Qingnian, Kong Jie immediately shouted: "Monk." ”

"Here, Commander, your name is me!" The monk lifted the curtain and walked in.

Kong Jie said: "Go and call Xu Qingnian to me." ”

"Yes!"

Kong Jie chatted with Dong San for a while, and Xu Qingnian, the head of the Finance Department, followed the monk to the regiment headquarters.

"Captain!"

"You're welcome, sit down!"

"Yes!"

After Xu Qingnian sat down, Kong Jie looked at Xu Qingnian and Dong San, and said, "Now it's here, one of you is the head of the logistics department and the other is the head of the finance department."

The logistical operation of the independent regiment and the burden of financial security are basically borne by the two of you, two comrades, you have worked hard. ”

Dong San Zhengse said: "Commander, what are you talking about?" No matter how hard we work, can we have the hard work of our comrades who are fighting on the front line?

I can't wait to go to the front line to kill the devils in person, and I have a good time. ”

Kong Jie scolded with a dark face: "You kid don't talk nonsense, you are a talent in charge of logistics, let you go to the battlefield, unless our independent regiment is finished, and even Lao Tzu dies in front, it is your turn to get your kid."

Cut off this thought for me as soon as possible, and the role you can play in this logistics is much greater than that of your boy going to the front line to die. ”

Dong San scratched his head in disdain, and didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

And Kong Jie's full affirmation and care for Dong San made Dong San more and more grateful.

If Kong Jie hadn't taken people to the prisoner of war camp to rescue Dong San and his party, and reuse them, how could Dong San be where he is today?

Kong Jie didn't know Dong San's careful thinking, and after scolding Dongsan, he asked Xu Qingnian again: "These days, there are many things in the group, and I don't have time to ask more, Old Xu, how is your father?" ”

When Kong Jie said this, Xu Qingnian suddenly got off the kang, stood up, saluted Kong Jie, and said with a solemn face:

"Commander, I'm stupid, and I don't know what to say to be grateful, but I, Xu Qingnian, will put this here today, and from now on, I will give you my life."

Kong Jiele said: "Old Xu, why did you suddenly become so serious? Sit down, talk slowly, what's wrong? ”

"Yes!"

Xu Qingnian responded, sat down on the kang seat again, and said, "Commander, I've heard about everything. ”

"After the bandits in Dalongshan in Tan County came forward, my father really prepared a ransom and handed it over to the Japanese, wanting the Japanese to redeem me, but the Japanese swallowed the ransom, and then went back to tell my father that I had been killed by the bandits."

"I heard from the housekeeper that after my father learned the news, his eyes went black and he went over directly."

"A few days ago, the regiment commander, you asked the comrades of the commando team to escort me, disguised myself into the county seat, and I saw my father."

"My father was much haggard and thin, but as soon as he saw me, he immediately refreshed himself and pulled me to ask what was going on.

I told my father the ins and outs of the matter, and told my father that I would join the Eighth Route Army in the future, and now I am working under the head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. ”

After hearing this, my father was very emotional, and kept telling me that I should thank the head of the regiment.

My father also made a special affirmation of my choice, and in the end, my father sighed and said that this is really a blessing and a curse. ”

"After going through so much, I am also very emotional now, until today, I finally embarked on the right path, if it weren't for the head of the regiment, I wouldn't know how to do things for the little devil, how stupid would it be?"

It turned out that this was the case, Kong Jie couldn't help but smile, and said with emotion: "Lao Xu, look at the comrades-in-arms around you, look at the soldiers of our independent regiment, in fact, there are many comrades whose situation is similar to yours.

What are the soldiers giving up their small homes for everyone?

For the sake of the fate of our China and the fate of our nation.

We don't want to be slaves, we want to be free, we want equality, we want to be rich, we want peace, so we get together, throw our heads, and spill our blood.

When leaving, the family was reluctant.

The old mother, the old father, was full of tears.

But when they said goodbye to us, their words were so firm:

Son, when you go to the battlefield, you must follow the Eighth Route Army to fight devils, and your father and mother are proud of you. ”

"I'm sure that when Father Xu learned that you didn't work at the Japanese Pseudo Bank, but switched to the Eighth Route Army, he must have been proud of you in his heart."

In the middle of the words, tears were already flashing in Xu Qingnian's eyes.

"Yes, regiment commander, my father not only supported me to be the Eighth Route Army, but before I opened my mouth, he expressed his hope that my side could help him and let him get in touch with our Eighth Route Army.

My father said that he had nothing else, but he had some family assets, and he was willing to destroy the family and make some modest efforts. ”

"Old Xu understands righteousness!" Kong Jie praised.

Xu Qingnian wiped the tears that slipped out of his eyes indiscriminately, and said: "Then I told my father that this is also the reason why I came back to see him this time, I was entrusted by the head of the regiment to ask my father for help."

My father did not hesitate, and agreed directly, and said that as long as our independent regiment was useful to my father, my father would definitely help. ”

Kong Jie nodded heavily, "The tiger must have a tiger father, Lao Xu, you are good, and Xu Lao is even more righteous."

When I find an opportunity in the future, I must represent our Eighth Route Army and thank Xu Lao. ”

Xu Qingnian said: "Commander, thanks are too much to see, doing these things, my father is from the heart, my father said, this is what every Chinese should do." ”

Kong Jie nodded:

"Old Xu, having said that, Old Xu's safety in the county must be done sufficiently.

We must be more cautious in our contact with Xu Lao, and we must not let Xu Lao have a crisis of exposure.

In addition, I will arrange some people to lurk in the county town to protect the safety of Xu Lao at any time.

If there is really an exposure, Xu Lao must be rescued back to the base area as soon as possible. ”

Although Xu Qingnian is not selfish, he can not think about himself, but he will inevitably think about his father, and immediately grateful: "I thanked the head of the regiment for my father!" ”

Kong Jie smiled: "They are all revolutionary comrades, Lao Xu, you are welcome." ”

"Let's get down to business, what's the current situation in the finance department?"

Xu Qingnian replied: "Regiment commander, after the comrades of the commando team returned from the jurisdiction of the National Army and the Jin Sui Army, they brought back a large amount of fiat currency.

At present, our finance department has more than 2.7 million fiat currency, more than 500,000 yen, and more than 200,000 other currencies. ”

Kong Jie nodded, his heart was also a little shocked, he knew very well what the money meant.

The Japanese currency and fiat currency that were snatched back from the Japanese pseudo-bank in the area occupied by the devils were sent to the headquarters.

At that time, it helped the headquarters to reduce a lot of financial burden.

The fiat currency in front of you can definitely play a big role.

At the same time, Kong Jie was also a little surprised, he didn't expect these rabbit cubs of the commando team to be so ruthless, and they went to the territory of the national army and the Jin Sui army to grab so much money and came back.

No wonder some time ago, the national army and the Jin Sui army were ruthless, encircling and suppressing bandits everywhere!

This is the fear of being robbed, for fear that the bandits will run to the bank to rob again.

In addition, regarding the money snatched back from the territory of the National Army and the Jin Sui Army this time, Kong Jie had many uses.

On the one hand, it is natural to send a large part of the loan to the headquarters in order to alleviate the economic difficulties of the headquarters.

On the other hand, this batch of fiat currency is to be used to do business with the 57th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army.

Over there, Jiang Dao had already negotiated with Qian Shoucai, the commander of the third battalion of the 57th Regiment.

Last temptation***.

Yang Chongshan, the commander of the 57th Regiment, was obviously moved.

The next time the two sides made a deal, Kong Jie dared to be sure that as long as the money was in place, he would definitely be able to get a large amount of equipment from the 57th Regiment.

The movement of artillery or something is too big, and it is estimated that the 57th Regiment will not dare to mess around.

But light and heavy machine guns, as well as grenadiers, these weapons should be fine.

Big deal to spend a little more.

In Kong Jie's concept, as long as it can be solved with money, it is not a problem.

Of course, you can't always rob, and being able to earn your own money is the last word.

Thinking of this, Kong Jie continued to ask:

"In terms of our independent group's external business, how are you planning these days?"

Dong San reported: "Report to the head of the delegation, according to the current situation of our independent regiment, if we do business with foreign countries, the main commodities are these things: grain crops, including potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes and the like we plant, according to your proposal from the head of the regiment, these grain crops can also be produced and processed into potato flour, sweet potato flour and the like for sale."

Then there is the honeycomb coal produced by the coal we mine, and the coal stove of honeycomb coal.

I have discussed these two commodities with Minister Xu, as long as they can be transported to the areas occupied by the devils, or sold in the jurisdictions of the Jin Sui Army and the Central Army, they will definitely be able to do it.

The Repair Institute has not been idle during this time.

I ordered a separate production line of coal stoves, this coal stove is simple in structure, much simpler than the production of guns and ammunition, and has been vigorously produced during this time, and now this honeycomb coal stove has produced more than a thousand. ”

Xu Qingnian said: "My father's side is also ready, as long as we provide the supply of goods, we can sell it through my father's major stores."

Since the last time I met my father, he has lost his attachment to his previous beliefs, and has even taken the initiative to associate with some Japanese businessmen.

Because of this, Japanese people also trust their fathers more.

In this way, our goods are sold through my father's side, and there are Japanese businessmen who help them, and it is difficult for the Japanese to detect the source of these goods, and it will be our independent group. ”

Kong Jie immediately saw the stakes clearly, and sighed: "Old Xu is arrogant and understands righteousness, but in this way, he will inevitably become a traitor in the eyes of outsiders."

For the cause of anti-Japanese resistance, he did not hesitate to destroy his reputation, Xu Lao's righteousness is a model for my generation! ”

Xu Qingnian said: "When my father made this decision, I also persuaded my father, but my father said that personal honor and disgrace are more insignificant than the interests of the country, and if he sacrifices his reputation, he can return the great interests of the nation, and his father would rather bear a body of infamy." ”

"Old Xu is really admirable." Dong San couldn't help but clench his fists and slammed them on the table.

Kong Jie was silent for a moment and said, "Old Xu, don't worry, there are discerning people to judge the merits and demerits."

Xu Lao's dedication to the anti-Japanese cause and to this nation will never be forgotten by future generations, and the old man will never be wronged. ”

"Yes!" Xu Qingnian responded.

"Regarding foreign business, Dong San, you and Lao Xu will discuss it."

"If this business path is stable, our independent group can be regarded as having a stable source of income."

"It's up to the two of you."

"Yes, please rest assured that the regiment commander will complete the task!"

Xu Qingnian and Dong San responded in unison......
