Rise from eight hundred.

Tang Dao waited until a week later when the Japanese army delivered the last batch of equipment for an infantry regiment to the theater before leaving Linfen City.

There is also a small episode in this. When Tang Dao accompanied Brigadier Geng and took the infantry battalion to receive the equipment, he was surprised to find that the Japanese military convoy was not only loaded with guns, but even mortars. Shells and various machine rifle bullets.

Tang Tuanzao was so moved by this on the spot, almost with 'tears' in his eyes, he said to Major Shimizu Hidejo, who came with the car to see how Fujiwara Senxie was in person: "Chief of Staff Okabe is too polite, please Express my sincere greetings to him for me, and wish the old man will stay in the position of chief of staff, and negotiate again in the future, and I promise to prepare high-quality green tea for him.”

Qingshuixiucheng was almost fainted by Tang Dao's face, if it were before, he might have another 'Baga!idiot! ' cried out, but this time he forcibly endured the tone.

It's typical to say that you can't say it, you can't win in a fight, what can you do if you can't bear it?

Qingshuixiucheng, who was dizzy with anger, finally waited until Tang Dao left before rushing to find trouble with the minor captain of the supply team.

After all, the Japanese are not idiots. The agreement signed by Saburo Okabe included the equipment of one infantry brigade and another infantry regiment, but he never said that he had brought ammunition. Moved here together?
This is indeed a subjective error made by the Japanese Army Staff, they ignored a characteristic of their own nation.

Almost all Japanese individual tactics basically come out of the same mold, that is because they all have the same thing, the Japanese infantry drill code, which even stipulates how many centimeters a rollover must be turned, and the insurance needs to be turned off when fighting a bayonet. extremely small movements.

Although it also reflects the subtleties of the Japanese nation, but more of it reflects the rigidity of its nation.Everything is done in strict accordance with the regulations and will never exceed the scope of the regulations.Everyone is like a mechanical part, absolutely obeying instructions.

Including their tactics in the Battle of Southeast Shanxi, the reason why the 772 regiment was able to withstand the mad attack of the second mixed brigade eager to escape was also because of the rather rigid infantry tactics of the front-line Japanese army.After the artillery bombarded the infantry attack, the infantry could not attack the artillery bombardment, and if they could not attack, they began to turn sideways. There were almost no other alternatives.

If it was placed on the plain, this set of tactics would naturally be no problem. The Japanese army repeatedly defeated the Chinese army without artillery cover.

However, in the mountainous area, and there is a waist-deep river lying in front of the battlefield, if you still use this tactic, especially when the 772 regiment has built enough trenches and artillery holes, then they belong to the top iron isn't it?

When Yamashita, who arrived later, redesigned a new tactic, the Four Elements Regiment followed, and under the enemy's back and forth, the Second Mixed Brigade completely lost its vitality.

It can be said that the reason for the great victory of Changle Village was firstly that the Chinese commanders were united and determined and used tactics skillfully, and secondly, it was the result of the rigid tactics used by the Japanese front-line commanders.

And this rigidity is not only on the battlefield, but also on the execution of the military orders of the Japanese General Staff.

The military order issued by the Japanese North China Front Army Staff Headquarters was to load all light and heavy weapons and equipment captured from the 39th Independent Brigade in Pingbei City, except for the mountain artillery, and then transport them to Yuancheng.

The Japanese army has its own independent military industry, and it uses its own Japanese-style equipment from top to bottom. No matter how advanced the weapons and equipment seized from China are, they are basically put in warehouses or distributed to the "Huangxie" that has completely surrendered to itself. military'.

The Japanese soldiers who received the military order did not know what these weapons were for. The officers of the staff department who were coerced by the Chinese to exchange weapons and equipment were naturally not obliged to explain the purpose to the warehouse. The heavy soldiers didn't even have the courage to run to ask if the batch of equipment transported contained ammunition.

As a result, the Japanese heavy soldiers also regarded the ammunition as equipment and loaded it into the vehicle.

Of course, the high-ranking officials of the Japanese Army Staff Department would not go to check them one by one. In this way, not only the equipment, but also the supporting ammunition were sent in such a muddled way.

A group of sand sculptures, Qingshuixiucheng was almost not mad by his compatriots.

Because weapons and equipment are dead objects, they belong to the simplest transportation of goods, but prisoners of war are human beings. Not only does the Japanese army need time to transport them, but the receiving personnel sent by the Chinese side also need to screen and verify the prisoners of war.

If you think about it with your ass, you all know that the Japanese will definitely play tricks in it. Maybe there are Japanese people hiding in it besides the traitors.

Originally, soldiers had their own logic for checking this. They stripped naked for me and weighed them one by one. The scars on the body and the skinny bones due to long-term hunger, coupled with the weight on the scale, can basically determine the authenticity of 90.00% of the five. .

The brutality of the Japanese has long been known to the world, and the treatment of prisoners of war can be imagined. A vegetable leaf of 2 or [-] meters per day is the normal operation. Many soldiers who were originally strong and strong and born in the North were thin and only weighed less than [-] catties. .

But the Japanese were quite open-minded, perhaps because they had already had a coping strategy. The Chinese side managed to identify less than 3 suspects in several temporary prisoner-of-war camps on the outskirts of the original city where more than 100 people gathered.

This is definitely not the style of the Japanese. The proportion of sand mixed in is more than that, so other methods can only be used, such as checking the accent of the hometown, etc. These must be done, otherwise the exchange of prisoners of war is very likely. It evolved into lifting a rock and shooting itself in the foot.

You must know that the Second War Zone is currently guarding the last line of defense in North China. If the line of defense is breached due to the intrusion of not just a small number of spies, then this large-scale exchange of prisoners of war will become a big joke in the history of war. Commander Yan No matter how unreasonable military affairs are, he will never let this happen to him.

So, it all takes time.

But Tang Dao couldn't wait any longer. Lou Dehua and the others would be able to return to the original city with a gray machine. He had to sneak into HD first and then go to Jincheng on a special coal train with a speed of no more than 30 miles per hour. A Dr. Grunov is still waiting for him!

That is a little hen that can lay golden eggs, Tang Tuanzuo said that he would fool this one into the car first, as for whether Lou Dehua will chop him with a knife in the future, that is a matter for the future.

And this week, Tang Dao wasn't wasting time in vain, he was also waiting for Gong Shaoxun's arrival.

It turned out that when Tang Dao went to Jincheng this time, he naturally couldn't say that there were more than 20 special forces for protection, and the maximum number of people could not exceed 4. Tang Dao thought about it carefully, and chose Ming Xin and Shen Laoliu .

In his words, people and animals are harmless at first glance, but Shen Laoliu's bitter face and small size are harmful at first glance, so what?
To put it bluntly, the most eye-catching one among the three is a certain group seat with a height of 3 meters.

However, Tang Dao had painstakingly studied how to make up when he could not conceal his body shape. The so-called makeup is not to make himself undetectable, but to find a suitable identity based on his body shape and appearance, and it is lifelike.

Therefore, Ming Xin with a handsome face became the son of a rich family, Tang Dao turned into a personal bodyguard, Shen Laoliu, who had more wrinkles on his face, naturally became a porter carrying salutes, and Gong Shaoxun, who rushed over from the Four Elements Regiment, Then he became a housekeeper, which is very typical for rich sons and brothers traveling in this period.

Shen Laoliu: Who is the sixth son?

As for why Gong Shaoxun stubbornly rushed over to Jincheng with Tang Dao and his party, the telegram couldn't explain clearly, but the Four Elements Group had Lei Xiong and Ye Chenghuan in command, so Tang Dao didn't have to worry too much. Since Gong Shaoxun had such an appeal, That must have his own reasons.

When Gong Shaoxun arrived in Linfen and met Tang Dao, the first sentence he said, "I have savings in Citibank! I'm going to withdraw it." Tang Dao and the others were confused.

Based on his understanding of Gong Shaoxun, a colleague, although he was quite stubborn at times, he was definitely not a person who abolished the public for personal reasons, and lost the army just to get his own money?

You must know that Gong Shaoxun was the chief of staff of the regiment and concurrently the commander of the cavalry battalion. The cavalry battalion did not play a big role in this war. It is the cavalry battalion that is far from reaching the combat power that a cavalry battalion should have. Ding Potian is only the combat power of a cavalry company. It is currently the most under-named battalion-level combat unit in the entire Four Elements Regiment.

Purchasing, training horses, recruiting and training new cavalry and reserve cavalry are all the battalion commander Gong Shaoxun has to worry about. In addition to his work as the chief of staff of the regiment, the work intensity is not lower than that of Ye Chenghuan, the director of the political department.

Before the war, Ye Chenghuan was already recognized as the busiest officer in the regiment. Political propaganda and various trainings for officers and non-commissioned officers made his working hours often exceed fifteen hours. Having said that, others can take a little leisure time, but he can't stop.

Otherwise, without these deputies working hard to output, Tang Dao, the chief officer, dared to ask for leave from the theater headquarters to recuperate, but secretly sneaked to the enemy-occupied area thousands of miles away?

"I have 80 taels of gold in Citibank. I've thought about it. Instead of putting it in the bank of foreign men and waiting for the so-called comeback of my Northeast Army, it's better to take it out and contribute to the Chinese nation's war of resistance. It belongs to my Northeast Army. Power." Gong Shaoxun continued.

"How much? Chief of Staff Gong, you didn't have a drink before you came!" Tang Dao was stunned, and glanced at Gong Shaoxun's face with some doubts. The face of this veteran cavalryman was really dark enough that he couldn't even see it. Alcoholic red.

Then, Tang Dao saw that Gong Shaoxun's black face turned a little rosy, and quickly comforted him: "Of course, 80 taels of gold is not a lot, and it's worth thousands of oceans! I didn't expect you, Chief of Staff Gong The family is quite rich. However, our regiment has not yet reached the point where we need to contribute our family to live. You can take this money, but keep it first. We will really reach that point that day, you Gong Dazhi It will be worthwhile to contribute as long as you can.”

This is a rare "gentle" moment for Tang Dao, the straight steel man, for fear of hurting the heart of the cavalry lieutenant colonel he poached from the Northeast Army.

"Tuan Zuo, it's 80, not [-]!" Gong Shaoxun didn't appreciate the warm comfort from a certain Tuan Zuo, but seriously confirmed the data he said earlier.

"80 taels of gold?" Tang Datuanzuo, who has even experienced time travel, can be said to have experienced countless strange things, but in front of this exaggerated almost terrifying golden number, his mouth suddenly turned into a hippopotamus mouth.

Mingxin, who has been influenced by "inaction and indifference" since childhood in the Taoist temple, suddenly opened his thin eyes to round and round.

Shen Laoliu, the sixth son, not only turned into a hippopotamus mouth like one of his officers, but the corners of his mouth also dripped unsatisfactory liquid.

What is the concept of 80 taels of gold?If it is converted into catties, it is 1.5 catties, and if it is expressed in tons, it is [-] tons. If a truck with a load of [-] tons like the Japanese army is used to pull it, it will be [-] smaller if it is not overloaded.

Not to mention gold, it is copper, which is worth the old nose's money, and millions of bullets can be made.

The Four Elements Regiment fought life and death in the battle of Shentouling, killed 1500 Japanese troops in Licheng, and robbed the property of the 108th Division that they had worked so hard to save for several months, only less than 2 taels of gold.

Just like that, the entire Four Elements Regiment gave out rewards to officers and soldiers who died, were wounded, and made meritorious service.

As a result, Chief of Staff Gong said lightly at this moment: We have deposited 80 taels of gold in Citibank!

And, look at that expression, very serious.

There are only three outcomes, either, he is crazy!Or, the three of them collectively hallucinated!Or, what he said was true.

Probably because he realized that the amount he said was too huge to be believed, Gong Shaoxun quickly explained: "To be precise, the money is not mine, but the young marshal's. It's just that if he doesn't want it, he can only let it go to me." It's in storage for now."

This statement made Tang Dao somewhat believe that there was this money.

After all, in terms of wealth, who in the whole of China can compare to the Zhang family, a large farming family that has been operating in the Northeast for more than ten years?
Although the stingy old man is also a small expert in farming, he is also stingy and frugal, but in the poor mountains and rivers of Jin Province, can it compare with the black soil that can produce oil with a pinch of soil?

In fact, the development of the Jinsui Army has been considered very cowhide. During the Battle of Xinkou, ten artillery regiments and 300 cannons were dragged out to blow the shit out of Itagaki Shiro. If it weren’t for the Japanese army’s air supremacy, the [-] troops would never have entered Jin Province. .

But what was the equipment of the Northeast Army at its peak?Before the September 918th Incident, the Northeast Army had a total of more than 200 fighter jets of various types, 150 of which could be launched into the air, and 30 Renault tanks; The three major arsenals located in Yangcheng, Fengtian and Chuncheng can produce more than 40 rifles, more than 6 light and heavy machine guns, 1000 artillery pieces of various types, and hundreds of millions of bullets;

Sometimes this person that!No matter how hard you try, in the end you find that the ceiling of your efforts is actually just the starting point of others. This is life, and it is such a reality.If you compare the stingy old man with the old Zhang family, it is the most typical example.

In fact, the certificate of deposit with the big seal of Citibank that Gong Shaoxun keeps close to him is enough to prove its authenticity.

But if it is said that the "prodigal son" who inherited all the inheritance after his father's death has 80 taels of gold, Tang Daobi has no doubts, but such a huge sum of money should not be thrown to others, which is somewhat too much Unbelievable.

"It's like this. Before 1934, I was the deputy captain of the young marshal's bodyguard. When the big event happened in 1936, I was ordered by the young marshal to lead the cavalry battalion under Commander Wu." To Tang Daosan With puzzled eyes, Gong Shaoxun said with a wry smile what he rarely told people.

It turned out that Gong Shaoxun was an orphan since he was a child and was met by Lao Zhang by chance. Because his age was not too different from his own son, he was taken into the mansion to become his son's book boy and playmate, and he naturally became his son's personal bodyguard when he became an adult.

In 1935, Shaoshuai Zhang, who was stationed in Chang'an, deliberately sent him down to serve as the commander of the cavalry in order to promote his deputy captain of the guard. Colonel, not just the lieutenant colonel chief of staff of the Four Elements Regiment.

As for the 80 taels of gold that was 'disliked' by a certain young marshal, it was even more unbelievable, but following Gong Shaoxun's narration, it seemed to fit the personality of that young marshal.

It turned out that the September 918 Incident was not originally the intention of the Japanese Army headquarters, but was initiated by some young officers on their own.At that time, the strength of the Northeast Army was at its peak. The strength of the 40 troops compared with the Kwantung Army's tens of thousands of people was completely crushing. Let alone a few months, the Kwantung Army might not be able to occupy it even if it took a few years. three provinces in the Northeast.

But there was a scene that shocked even the Japanese base camp. Hundreds of thousands of Northeast troops fled without a fight, and the rich three provinces in the Northeast were handed over to others.

However, shortly before this incident, in order to stabilize the situation on the border, the young marshal visited Japan in person and had a good chat with the Japanese emperor who was not yet ready for war.

A moment ago, he swore that he had no intention of invading, but the next second he occupied his territory, and it was still a territory with hundreds of thousands of big bosses. There are some faces, the one who ordered the Kwantung Army to return all the family property that had occupied the Marshal's Mansion, including the 80 taels of gold.

The one who lost his father's ten-year-old land after receiving the property from the young marshal's mansion from the Japanese army felt ashamed and indignant. He thought it was a humiliation to him by the Japanese, so he ordered his confidant general Wang Yizhe to take care of the group. Gold was thrown into the Bohai Sea.

"It's very good, it's really a son, if you don't want it, don't want it, and don't throw it into the sea! It's fine to cut it into small pieces and distribute it to the common people!" Shen Laoliu smashed his mouth, his eyes full of hatred .

If Tang Dao hadn't glanced at him, this guy might have to sprinkle salt on Chief of Staff Gong's wound.

Losing the Northeast without firing a shot is a shame that hundreds of thousands of Northeast troops will never erase in their lifetime.There is no reason to hide it.

When Gong Shaoxun talked about this past, he was also in a low mood, but he didn't want to bother with the heartless Shen Laoliu. As he continued to tell, Tang Dao finally knew why this batch of gold ended up in his hands up.

Wang Yizhe was also reluctant to throw such a huge amount of money into the sea, so he consulted Gong Shaoxun, his personal bodyguard, and finally the two decided to deposit this batch of gold in Gong Shaoxun's personal name in the Western Bank in the Jincheng Concession for future The Northeast Army made a comeback and left a sum of funds.

The reason why Citibank belongs to the United States is that the interest rate given by HSBC is too low. Citibank let the two choose them with an annual interest rate of 2.4%. In the past five years, 80 taels of gold is more than that at that time. , to say the least, it is more than [-] tens of thousands, if it is converted into US dollars
Shen Laoliu quietly asked about the exchange rate of Tang knives. The current market price is about 35 U.S. dollars for an ounce of gold. For a specific answer, I only know that if it can be exchanged, the Four Elements Group is well developed.

"Are you really planning to leave this fund to our four-element regiment? Commander Wu and the others won't blame you?" asked Gong Shaoxun seriously before Tang Dao was knocked out by the golden pie that fell from the sky.

"Mr. Wu and the others don't know that there is such a huge amount of money, and with his love for you, sir, even if he knows, he will never blame me, because even if he enters Jincheng, he is unable to take it out. It's just a bunch of numbers on the account, so what's the use of it?" Gong Shaoxun obviously went through a long-term ideological struggle, and shook his head.

"It's better to use it for our four-element regiment first, purchase more arms, cause greater damage to the Japanese army, and wash away the shame of our Northeast Army for losing the three eastern provinces."

At this point, Gong Shaoxun's dark face showed a rare cunning: "Besides, based on what I know about you, sir, as long as you can raise this fund, you will definitely not sit idly by to the 67th Army and other Northeast Army."

"Haha! Okay, I promise you that if your Northeast Army brothers are in danger in the future, my four-element regiment will do our best to help. This batch of gold will really help you a lot." Tang Dao laughed.

"No, Shaoxun has already left the Northeast Army, and he is a member of my four-element regiment. Even if he meets those old brothers of the Northeast Army, he is only a friendly army." Gong Shaoxun smiled and shook his head to deny Tang Dao's "brothers of the Northeast Army" just now. title.

"I won't say much else. I'm just representing the brothers of the Four Elements Regiment. Thank you Chief of Staff for your trust!" Tang Dao solemnly saluted Gong Shaoxun.

"Tuan Zuo is serious!" After Gong Shaoxun hastily returned the gift, the two held hands tightly.

The chief of staff did not put his surname in front of him, which already explained Tang Dao's attitude.

Chief of Staff Gong is no longer just an officer of the 67th Army who came to the Four Elements Regiment to be promoted, but like the attitude he just expressed, he really belongs to the Four Elements Regiment.

To Tang Dao, that is as precious as gold!
Of course, the deposit of 80 gold gave Tang Dao and Krupp more confidence in their investment plans.

But the premise is, how to withdraw such a large sum of money from Citibank in the United States, who can transfer it just by saying it?Neither can the bank.
