The independent regiment base area should raise its own funds to establish a bank, and Kong Jie thought about it, so it was very necessary to issue its own border area bills.

As for the existing financial system in the base areas, in fact, it is still quite chaotic in terms of currency, and there are some border area bills minted and sent by the Jizhong Military Region, as well as the legal tender of the national army, and even some daily bills, silver dollars, copper dollars, and so on, all of which are in circulation.

Therefore, there is a need to establish a unified monetary system.

In this regard, Kong Jie has been making preparations, and in addition, Kong Jie also sent a team to ask the Jinzhong Military Region for a template for coinage.

It is used to continue to print and cast the corresponding border tickets.

As for the other equipment needed for coinage, the independent regiment had already prepared it, which was some coinage molds that were snatched from the devil's mint in some county towns.

"Therefore, after the establishment of our own bank in the base area, my follow-up vision for the base area is to be able to use the border area tickets issued by us to recover all kinds of money and bills in the hands of the villagers, such as fiat currency, silver dollars, and copper dollars."

"When the specific exchange, it will be exchanged at the same price as much as the grain can be purchased, or even at a higher price, in short, the people should not be allowed to suffer, and the villagers should be willing to exchange for border tickets, and use the border tickets that support us."

"Why?

If the currency of our base area can be unified, it will be of great benefit to the financial stability of our base area.

We can implement the policy that in the vicinity of our base area, major villages, and markets, only border area tickets are allowed. ”

"To a considerable extent, this can prevent the wealth of our base area from being exchanged by the Japanese army and the national army for currency with no real value."

"You must know that in the national control area, in addition to fiat currency, silver dollars, copper dollars, etc., other currencies are not allowed to circulate, and the same is true in the counties occupied by devils."

After discussing with Xu Qingnian, Minister of Finance, the establishment of a bank, Kong Jie said this when he established a financial system.

Xu Qingnian raised questions and said: "Regiment commander, the legal tender of the national army has been abolished and changed to two yuan, with silver dollars as the standard currency, and the Japanese currency issued by the little devil is based on gold. ”

"Whether it's silver dollars or gold, these are goods with high value in the eyes of the people, so they can be used as base currency."

"Then once our border ticket is issued, what will be used as the standard currency, so that the people can use it with complete peace of mind?"

"Whether it's silver dollars or gold, we basically don't have any reserves on hand."

Kong Jie thought for a moment and replied: "In times of war, special circumstances are dealt with specially, and besides, what we want to maintain is a financial system that is relatively small for the country as a whole, so it will naturally be much less difficult. ”

"Lao Xu, let me ask you, what is the most important thing for them in this war-torn era, especially the people behind enemy lines?"

Xu Qingnian thought for a moment and replied, "Commander, I think it's food." ”

Kong Jie said: "Yes, it is food, not gold, nor silver dollars, when it is really hungry, only food can keep the people alive." ”

"If you think about it from this aspect, the devil uses gold as the standard, and the fiat currency uses the silver dollar as the standard, why can't we use grain as the standard?"

"Then press the credit of our Eighth Route Army in the hearts of the villagers, if you are flexible, the food plus the credit of our Eighth Route Army, this is the standard currency of the border area tickets issued by us."

Xu Qingnian was a little stunned when he heard it, although what the head of the regiment said was reasonable, but for him, a talented man who graduated from finance, it was really difficult to change his concept for a while.

Kong Jie became more and more excited the more he talked, he thought of the dollar, and how hateful the dollar really was.

"Lao Xu, let me give you some ideas, you might as well be bold and imagine, this standard currency may not necessarily be a currency with higher value, or a rare metal or the like.

Food can, credibility can, and even the currency itself. ”

Xu Qingnian was puzzled: "The currency itself can also be?" ”

Kong Jie said: "If one day, the villagers in our roots only recognize the border area ticket as the only base currency, and whether it is the people in the occupied area or the people in the national control area, they only recognize the border area ticket of our Eighth Route Army as the base currency, then at this time, our border area ticket can be used as the standard currency of legal tender and Japanese currency." ”

"And once the Japanese army and the national army recognize our border area ticket system, how big will it be impact? Lao Xu, you studied finance, you should have more experience than me, right? ”

Xu Qingnian was stunned and said: "Regiment Commander, when that time comes, the role that the border area ticket can play, whether it is military or economic, will be quite terrifying." ”

"We can even use the small border area ticket to carry out disguised economic plundering of the areas controlled by the Japanese army and the national army."

Kong Jie said: "At that time, to sum it up in one sentence, the border ticket is the wealth of our Eighth Route Army, but it is the problem of the opponent." ”

"We can even borrow a series of means to sanction our opponents."

"That's the horror of the currency standard, that's the horror of the currency war."

"Of course", Kong Jie smiled and patted Xu Qingnian on the shoulder, and said: "If you want to reach that level in the big situation, it's basically a fantasy, and I don't need much, but in the surrounding areas of our base, it is probably enough to be able to do this." ”

After some words, it is said that on the day Xu Qingnian left the regiment headquarters, the whole person seemed to have lost his soul.

The next day, when Xu Qingnian appeared at the regiment headquarters, the whole person was glorious, as if he had found some unswerving goal and path, and the whole person was full of energy.

……

……

And just when Kong Jie was thinking about the future financial development of the base.

On the other side, Taiyuan City, the headquarters of the First Army of the Japanese Army in Shanxi.

Since the disastrous defeat of the Spring Sweep, the Independent Regiment has officially risen to become the first thorn in the side of the Japanese First Army in Shanxi.

At this moment, the commander of the First Army, Yoshio Shinozuka, was discussing the next plan to deal with the independent regiment with the captain of the special forces under the jurisdiction of the First Army.

It may sound a little funny, the dignified commander of the Japanese First Army, and the Japanese army Dazuo, the two are actually conspiring against a regiment of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the actual situation is that the First Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi has long raised the threat of the independent regiment to the Japanese army, even to the level of the division of the Central Army of the National Army.

The final defeat of the Spring Sweep at the hands of the Independent Regiment made Yoshio Shinozuka angry, believing that this was a great shame for the First Army.

If you don't have a shame before the snow, it will be difficult to sleep and eat.

Kazuki Yamamoto was the first to speak, mainly aimed at the point, on the body of the sniper platoon that the Independent Regiment had appeared in the counter-sweep.

"General, according to preliminary investigation, the sniper platoon composed of the independent regiment has about forty people, and the members of it are all very good at marksmanship, and they are by no means weaker than the veterans of the empire."

"In addition, their sniper tactics are quite flexible, according to the information obtained from reconnaissance during the operation, these snipers of the independent regiment are not only powerful in marksmanship, but also very flexible in movement and positioning, and often retreat immediately after firing a shot, continue to look for the next ambush location, conceal themselves, and then sneak attack again."

"Not only that, but each of their snipers seems to be equipped with a scout with a rangefinder telescope, working in pairs and tactically cooperating."

"Such a combination, looking for targets and sniping targets in one go, can often play an efficient sniper combat power on the battlefield, and the mutual cooperation of the two can improve each other's survival chances on the battlefield."

"At the last meeting, the general said that His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief had proposed that we let us put down our bodies and learn the practices and tactics of the Eighth Route Army."

"I think the sniper tactics used by this independent regiment in front of me are exactly what our shooters need to learn."

Speaking of which, Kazuki Yamamoto seems to be a little lamented:

"General, with all due respect to Yamamoto, the top marksmen of our Imperial Army, even some veterans of the Empire, are in no way inferior to the so-called snipers of this independent regiment in marksmanship.

However, they did not play a corresponding role on the battlefield, especially in this spring sweep, the top marksmen who fought with the troops, often fought rigidly, even if they had superb marksmanship, but only fixed in one place to shoot, and some even tied themselves directly to the trunk of the tree until the jade shattered, which is simply stupid. ”

"Today, the existence of a sniper platoon on the side of the Independent Regiment has posed a serious threat to the regional security and stability of the Imperial Forces, and I think that the top marksmen of our army can also form a similar sniper combat team, and change the original tactics and flexibly adjust the application to deal with the sniper platoon of the Independent Regiment."

"Roar!" Yoshio Shinozuka nodded in agreement with Yamamoto's opinion.

"Yamamoto-kun, it has been proven that the traditional combat tactics of the Imperial Army's special marksmen with the army are no longer appropriate."

"Now it seems that it is necessary to learn sniper tactics from the Eighth Route Army."

"In this way, I will order that the top marksmen will be selected in each unit immediately to form a sniper squad that will fight with the army, and it will be equipped with a new Type 99 sniper rifle, equipped with a quadruple optical scope, to replace the original double-scope Type 97 sniper rifle."

"In addition to snipers, the sniper team of the independent regiment is also equipped with corresponding observers, and we are also equipped with observers."

"The newly formed sniper detachment will first be used on a trial basis in the guerrilla area where the base area of the independent regiment is located."

"The number of top marksmen in our army is far greater than that of the independent regiment, and after changing the combat tactics, we will definitely be able to suppress the sniper tactics of the independent regiment."

"Hey!" Yamamoto should say.

Yoshio Shinozuka thought for a moment and added, "The failure of this spring sweep has brought unprecedented shame to the imperial forces, but now is not the time to take revenge and clean up the Eighth Route Army. ”

"The commander-in-chief has set a plan for the follow-up campaign to march to Jinnan, and now all departments are preparing, what we need to do is to ensure that the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area does not make any trouble."

"And the troops of the Eighth Route Army in the Taihang area, if they belong to the independent regiment of the Eighth Route Army, it is the most tossed, and this time to further compress the living space of the Eighth Route Army, the focus should be on the thorn in the head of the independent regiment."

"Yamamoto-kun, with your understanding of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, how do you think the Army should deal with this Independent Regiment?"

Kazuki Yamamoto seems to have thought about this question for a long time, and immediately replied:

"General, I think that the following points will be enough to deal with, and even inflict heavy losses on the independent regiment."

"Oh? You name it! ”

"Hey, considering the particularity of the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment, they have thousands of troops, sophisticated equipment, abundant ammunition, and even a considerable number of fortified artillery."

"First, the strongholds stationed in the base areas of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army and around the guerrilla areas should correspondingly send additional troops."

"Second, as the general said, we must send a sufficient number of sniper squads to the periphery of the independent regiment's base to deal with the independent regiment's sniper tactics."

"Thirdly, the original masonry structure of the fortifications in the major strongholds built on the outskirts of the Independence Regiment is no longer sufficient to deal with the artillery in the hands of the Independence Regiment.

I think we need to rebuild reinforced concrete turrets and pillboxes to cope with the attacking fire of the Separate Regiment, especially treated. ”

"Fourth, according to what His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief said, three parts military and seven parts political will gradually encroach on the major villages on the periphery of the independent regiment's roots, further compressing the living space of the independent regiment."

"Fifth, the advance team and plainclothes team have been prepared, and the next step will be to focus on infiltrating the area where the independent regiment is located, and striking and destroying its headquarters or important military facilities within the independent regiment."

"Sixth, General, this point has always been a problem for our army in dealing with the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army.

Our troops sometimes carried much more ammunition than they actually used in battle, and once they were attacked by the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Route Army could often use this to capture a considerable amount of ammunition, which in turn continued to grow its ranks against the Imperial forces.

Unlike the National Army, there will be no positional warfare in which the two sides enter into a fierce battle and compete for ammunition consumption.

So, I think that in the ensuing local sweeps and operations, we should reduce the amount of ammunition each soldier carries, except if necessary. ”

Yamamoto said six o'clock in one breath, and Yoshio Shinozuka nodded frequently on the side.

In order to deal with the independent regiment, these two old devils who spared no effort wanted to go together......
