Rise from eight hundred.

Chapter 1205 The leader of the queue is very happy!

That was captured from the 106th Division Headquarters.

The horrific gunshot wounds on Matsuura Rokuro's body had already made it clear to Xue Shuda that it was definitely not caused by his subordinates, but Tang Dao was extremely generous and handed him the rare Japanese Army Lieutenant General's body to take back to the 4th Army.

That was clearly a concession to military exploits, even if the premise was that the 43rd Army had already achieved outstanding military exploits, and there was no need for a corpse of a Japanese Army Lieutenant General to prove it.

But Xue Shuda still accepted the offer, and while making the promise that Colonel Xie would take his place, he also gave Tang Dao a few large wooden boxes that the 106th Division Headquarters would have to carry even if they fled, which naturally meant that I wanted Lieutenant General Head, give you something.

Matsuura Rokuro was very determined. Through prisoner interrogation, he learned that he ordered all regiments to "burn" the regiment flag on the evening of the 24th. The division headquarters also burned the division flag and some important archives, and also carried it with him. These are some of Matsuura Rokuro's personal belongings.

Xue Shuda came from a wealthy family and was accustomed to gold, silver and jewelry, so naturally he had little interest in it, so he accepted the favor without even looking at it.

But maybe when he knows the value of the items contained in these wooden boxes, he will regret it so much that his intestines will turn green.

There were no jewels or silver in the wooden box, it was all gold!
Even with Tang Dao's knowledge, after Lu Sanjiang and others opened the wooden box, he was dazzled by the three large boxes of gold bars neatly arranged and shining with golden light.

Each wooden box weighs 150 kilograms. Excluding the 10 kilograms of the camphor wood box itself, the gold bars are as much as 1400 taels. The three large boxes are 4200 taels. If converted into cash according to the current exchange ratio, the amount is close to 40. It was worth twice the reward that Commander Xue had given out before the war when he had emptied his fortune, and it still turned a corner!

It turns out that even though Matsuura Rokuro has only been in China for a short time, he is definitely an expert at plundering money. Everywhere he goes, he sets off troops to rob local wealthy households. Depending on the size of the family, each person pays [-] taels of gold for his life. , those who can’t afford it will be killed!

Faced with such a vicious guy, those wealthy households who had no time to escape had to pay the full 'ransom' and sacrifice their wealth to save their lives even if they emptied their fortunes!

Using this method, which is more brutal than a robber, Matsuura Rokuro's wealth accumulation is as fast as opening a money printing factory.

In order to make it easier to carry the gold and silver plundered by his subordinates, Rokuro Matsuura had them melted and made into gold bars of neat specifications. One bar weighed 10 taels and 500 grams, and a specially customized camphor wood box contained 140 bars.

After three months, three big boxes were filled. Regardless of whether he had military exploits or not, even if he was transferred back to the reserve force, there was absolutely no problem for Matsuura Rokuro to return to Japan and become a rich man.

This is three months of hard work plus the dream of a prosperous life in the future!No wonder Matsuura Rokuro was reluctant to abandon these large boxes even if he ran for his life.

However, this retired Japanese Army Lieutenant General never dreamed that with more than 2 troops, he would be hunted by the Chinese army. Qian Cai also made Tang Dao a wedding dress.

The Sihang Regiment was originally not short of money because the 29th Army had a huge deposit in Citibank, but it was really troublesome to withdraw money. Every time the money was withdrawn, it had to be transported to Jincheng, where the Japanese army was heavily undercover, and then transported through the Japanese army's checkpoints. The secret military factory located in a coal mine on the outskirts of Handan will eventually increase the risk of exposure over time.

Therefore, unless it is an emergency payment, Tang Dao will not call Gong Shaoxun, who is in charge there, to withdraw the money.

20 oceans are not very needed by the Si Xing Regiment, but for the 43rd Army at this time, it is an urgent need.

In the previous battle and the Battle of Wanjialing, the 43rd Army suffered more than 2000 casualties and more than 2000 serious injuries. The cost of pensions and treatment for officers and soldiers was like a huge mountain on the minds of Comrade Lao Guo and several division and brigade-level officers.

Don't look at the fact that the Ministry of Military Affairs has promised that all the pensions and treatment fees for the troops participating in the war will be theirs, and they will be paid out soon.

But ordinary officers and soldiers would not think so. The superiors asked them to fight hard, but they fought hard and won the final battle. The dead brothers still had a family to support, and they wanted to see if they could use it for free. to cash.

What's more, to a certain extent, Comrade Lao Guo actually has the same ideas as the officers and soldiers under his command. God knows when the memo issued by the Military and Political Department will be in place!

When there is a national crisis, finances are tight, and payment is suspended, will you still be able to eat those bastards in one bite?
This is not just a sleepy pillow, money just flies in.

Comrade Lao Guo looked at the three large boxes of gold bars that Tang Dao brought back. The big hug that gave Tang Dao made Tang Dao suspect that this man definitely regarded him as his own son.

But Comrade Lao Guo was extremely righteous. Although money was spent in various places, he did not take all the money just because he was a superior. He collected two boxes of gold bars to replenish military supplies, and insisted on leaving one box for Tang. knife.

Because that's what Tang Dao deserves. It has nothing to do with whether Tang Dao is close to him or not. It is Comrade Lao Guo's consistent principle to separate public and private matters!

"How do you think we should spend this money? It's a long way to take it back to the war zone." Tang Dao casually weighed a gold bar while asking several officers who were qualified to enter the room.

"Good boy! Sir, when are we going to fight again?" Long Yan almost drooled as he watched Tang Tuanzuo take out the gold bars from the box and weigh them in his hands.

I just like your inexperienced look!Tang Dao glanced sideways at Long Yan, who wished he could fight another battle to grab more gold bars, and smiled slightly: "Do you like it? How about we, dozens of people, share one each first? Let's take it as a reward for participating in the war."

In this battle of Wanjialing, because they did not participate in the frontal battlefield, the dozens of people under Tang Dao's command miraculously did not die. Only three of them were hit by bullets. They underwent surgery in the field hospital to remove the warheads and reuse them. He was bandaged and injected with antibacterial penicillin, and he returned to the team without even being hospitalized.

According to the Si Xing Regiment's daily military merit distribution plan, although twelve taels of large gold bars are a bit much, it does not mean that they are completely unworthy.

Tang Tuanzuo's proposal moved even the normally calm Gu Xishui. He had no interest in money, but that didn't mean he didn't think about his brothers.

However, both Gu Xishui and Lu Sanjiang had followed Tang Dao for a long time, and they knew that Tang Tuanzuo had always been a person with great ideas. There was no need to ask anyone else what he wanted to do. There must be some other reason for what he said. .

"Okay! Then I'll go back to Sister A and ask her to save it for me. When the time comes..." Long Yan opened his mouth and was happy.

"What will you do then? Marry your son a bunch of wives, give birth to a bunch of babies, and expand the population of Yeyue Village, right?" Lu Sanjiang asked with a smile.

"Hey! Marry one, just marry one. We Jiuli people are not like your Han family, we just like to eat from the bowl and look at the pot, especially the kind with yellow hair and blue eyes. We don't even know how to give birth to a baby. What the hell do you look like!" Long Yan's big mouth opened, but he spoke openly.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became inexplicably awkward.

Gu Xishui stroked his forehead fiercely. If he had known that this guy's mouth was so big, he should have blocked his mouth with a chicken leg.

Good guy, if you don't open the pot, you should lift it, right?There was even some criticism of the locust tree, and more importantly, the big locust tree still held a gold bar in its hand.

No one is a fool, and they know that their handsome commander is definitely not the kind of man to court Qin Muchu, but the blond foreign girl from the United States looked at the commander with an admiring look, especially the dear Tang, tut tut !If a Tantai reporter had been at the scene, there would have been bruises on a certain officer's ribs!

"That's it! Since you, Long Yan, have such disdain for our son of the Han family, I will ask Second Lieutenant Long to throw Shen Laoliu back to the reconnaissance company when we get back. Since we have long known that the men of the Han family are unreliable, how can we still jump into the fire pit? ?" Tang Dao calmly threw the gold bars back into the box and said calmly.

"Sir, please stop! My sister has been taking care of my brother-in-law for such a long time. She has seen everything that should be seen and shouldn't be seen. If we don't get married, my brother-in-law will no longer be a man." Long Yan was anxious at that time.

"Pfft!" Lu Sanjiang almost burst out.

The reason for being so fresh and refined is really only this guy can explain.

"Mom, for the sake of your sister and Shen Laoliu, I won't kick your baby out today!" Tang Dao also didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned to look at Gu Xishui seriously.

"Then what, Captain Gu, he is not the chairman of the board behind his back, no, he is not the chairman of the board in front of his face. How should he be punished under military law?"

"Well, there seems to be no military law regulations for direct criticism, but behind the scenes, it should be a punishment of three days of confinement or a week of participation in fortification construction." Gu Xishui thought for a moment. "Okay, from today on, Long Yan will be responsible for ensuring the safety and transportation of this box! If you miss one gold bar, you will get twenty military sticks!" Tang Dao nodded.

"I can't move it alone!" Long Yan looked at the big shiny box with aggrieved expression on his face.

"Brother Long Yan, you can spend money to hire people! Two yuan a day, I will be responsible for helping you find a brother to carry it with you!" Lu Sanjiang patted his chest very loyally.

"Ahem! Sir, I suggest that we use this box of gold bars to purchase military supplies in the mountain city or recruit new soldiers. This can not only show some people the source of the sophisticated weapons of our Four Lines Regiment, but also allow the elders in my hometown to accompany me. You won't have to worry about anything when you get to the battlefield!" Gu Xishui interrupted the conversation between these two unreliable guys and returned to the topic.

"As for the rewards for participating in the war, it's better to wait until you return to the regiment and then reward them separately according to the regulations of the regiment."

"Okay! Then let's do what Captain Gu wants!" Tang Dao was obviously very satisfied with Gu Xishui's answer and nodded.

He looked back at Lu Sanjiang, who had thoughtful eyes, and Long Yan, whose eyes were clear and stupid, and sighed slightly: "It has been a year since the War of Resistance. You have seen the situation of the war. It is still stalemate. This means that our war with the Japanese will not end." It can be completed in one, two, or even three or four years. This must be a long and arduous process.

You are not only my closest and trusted comrades in Tang Dao, but also the best soldiers of our Chinese Army. You are destined to shoulder greater responsibilities!

When there are not just dozens but hundreds or even thousands of brothers under your command, you have to think carefully before making any decision, because every decision you make is related to the lives of your comrades who live with you day and night!
Just like Long Yan, because of your persistence on the battlefield, you and the two of them created a medium-sized miracle, which may also go down in history in the future!But have you ever considered that if there is a small group of infantry among the 200 Japanese troops and you are not discovered by you, the lives of you and two comrades may be lost because of your persistence? "

"Let me think about it!" Long Yan frowned in the face of Tang Dao's aggressive questions.

Gu Xishui looked worriedly at the young man from the Jiuli tribe who was about to become his platoon leader. At this moment, he more or less understood Tang Dao's intention.

This is not actually an assessment. Everyone is greedy for money, but Tang Tuanzuo has enough confidence in his brothers. At least they will not lose themselves in front of money, even Long Yan, who has just joined the Four Elements Group.

He wants money and a family, which are all instinctive needs of human beings. There is nothing wrong with that!It can even be said that he is not hypocritical and possesses the quality of innocence that Tang Dao admires very much.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be here today.

Although Gu Xishui and Lu Sanjiang do not have high military positions, they are the staunchest supporters around Tang Dao. They are on the same level as Lei Xiong, Li Jijin, Yang Xiaoshan, Qian Dazhu, Zhao Daqiang, etc.

Long Yan is growing up, but in Tang Dao's view, he may be a good warrior, but he is not qualified to be a commander.

Even if there was an intention to appease Yeyue Village and give him the rank of second lieutenant, when Tang Dao felt that he was not qualified to be a platoon commander, it was absolutely impossible to put the lives of 60 people in his hands. of.

Never show favoritism, this is very Tang Dao!

"Sir, if what you just said is impossible to exist at all, the reason why I want to kill those Japanese devils is a decision made after careful observation. Japanese infantry have the habit of stacking rifles in a pile for easy access. , but there wasn’t one on site!

That's why I discussed with the two eldest brothers to fuck them. It wasn't because I was hot-headed and rushed forward whenever I saw the Japanese.

However, if we change the scene, the Japanese artillery is bombarding our army, and we only have a three-person reconnaissance team, I think I will do my best to contain them.

If we die, only three of us will die, but with one round of artillery coverage, no less than thirty brothers will die! "Long Yan, who had thought for a while, answered Tang Dao with his head held high.

"Oh?" Tang Dao looked noncommittally at this recruit who had only experienced three small battlefields. He paused for a while, then finally smiled on his face and patted Long Yan on the shoulder.

"Okay! After arriving in Sichuan Province this time, I will give you 10 recruit quotas for Long Platoon, and select the most flexible, tough and hard-working seedlings for me. My hometown will not let you down."

Seeing Tang Dao go out, Long Yan asked Gu Xishui blankly: "Sir, what do you mean? Did I say something wrong just now? Why are you giving me 10 places? Aren't there 80 people in a row?"

"Congratulations on the long queue, you have to treat me to dinner today!" Lu Sanjiang said with a smile.

"Congratulations! Haven't I been the second lieutenant platoon leader a long time ago? Brother Gu, tell me quickly, did I offend the commander just now, so he gave me 10 people to lead?" Long Yan was so anxious that he scratched his head and head. .

"Idiot, the newly established mountain infantry company directly under the regiment has a strength of 283 people, with 4 platoons and 3 squads. An infantry platoon has about 60 people. Among them, the squad leader, deputy squad leader and the backbone are veterans, about 12 people, and the rest are recruits. Here you go 10 good talents selected from thousands of people, that is the commander's respect for you, and it is also the commander's support for my mountain infantry company." Gu Xishui rolled his eyes.

"Does that mean I can also lead troops?" Long Yan opened his mouth wide in disbelief, his little tongue almost trembling.

"That's what it means!"

"Then can I request that the two eldest brothers, Da Da and Brainless, be transferred to my infantry platoon?" Long Yan's ambitions continued to expand and ferment.

"Depending on the officer's attitude towards you, I guess it might be possible, but you still have to seek their personal opinions." Gu Xishui told him matter-of-factly.

"Sir, he was so kind to me. I will never talk about that foreign girl again." Long Yan, who was overjoyed, swore in hindsight to repay a certain officer for his kindness.

Sir, you are blind!Your eyes are rolling to the sky, so you can’t help but mention this issue?Even if you want to mention it, you can do it while I and I are not around.

"That's my business partner of the Four Elements Group. What's there to avoid? But remember, don't talk about it in front of irrelevant people, so as not to expose military secrets!" Tang Dao, who had not yet walked far outside the door, twitched the corner of his mouth. , hummed slightly, dropped a word and walked away.

"Irrelevant personnel, who is it? Company Commander Tantai should not be counted!" Long Yan said to himself subconsciously.

"You've been carrying a big box weighing hundreds of kilograms these days and you still can't stop your mouth!" Gu Xishui and Lu Sanjiang wanted to stop this guy's big mouth with a gold bar. .

Good guy, your kid is afraid that there won’t be a fire in Tang Tuanzuo’s backyard, right?
. . . . . . . . . . . . .

After staying in Jiangcheng for two days, all the army, division and brigade commanders happily received their medals, Tang Dao himself received a third-class Baoding Medal, and after the Jiangcheng camp specially held a state funeral ceremony for Chen Ping, Tang Dao Daoqingchao Jian followed and took Xia Dayu, Mingxin, Long Yan and Lu Sanjiang to Yiling.

From there he will take a boat across the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River to return to his hometown to visit relatives!

Lu Sanjiang simply shot himself in the foot. The box of gold bars was carried by him and Long Yan along the way. He couldn't even think about the daily salary of 2 oceans. Long Yan had been treating guests for such a long time, and he had already been showing off. It's clean, and if you want to eat meat, you have to rely on Lu Sanjiang for help.

The remaining personnel were led by Gu Xishui himself, took a train to Chang'an, and then returned to the war zone from Chang'an.

Gu Xishui not only had to rush back to form his own mountain infantry company, but also because there were two more female soldiers in his team.

Two female regimental clerks became corporals as soon as they joined the army, and the appointment letters were stamped with the seal of Jiangcheng Camp!
The most powerful corporal in the Four Lines Regiment and even in several theaters in China was actually escorted by more than 30 fully armed Four Lines Regiment scouts.

However, no one doesn’t think they are worth it!
