Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 253 Border Coin

On this day, Wang Xuexin was notified to go to the headquarters for a meeting with Li Yunlong.

The time for this meeting was set at night.

The reason is that in this difficult period, in addition to the headquarters, even government agencies have to go to the field to farm.That is to say, in response to the call of "work while producing", I took a hoe to open up wasteland at dawn during the day, and returned to my residence at night to complete my work by lighting a kerosene lamp.

At this time in the border area, groups of soldiers and civilians went up the mountain with hoes at dawn, and there were pioneers everywhere. On the hillsides and in the ditches, red flags were flying and hoes were flying.Singing, laughter, slogans, cheering, one after another.

At night, the oil lamps are lit up again, and Wanjiatongming spends the night spinning, spinning, weaving and all kinds of work.

Therefore, when Li Yunlong and Wang Xuexin walked into the meeting room, apart from the smell of soot from the kerosene lamp, there was also a strong smell of sweat...Many regiment leaders and cadres rushed to the meeting as soon as they came back from the field .

Soon, the chief and the chief of staff hurried in.

Holding a stack of things in his hand, the chief excitedly raised his hand to the cadres and said, "I tell you a piece of good news, we have our own money in the border region!"

The meeting room was quiet for a while, and suddenly there was a burst of warm applause and applause.

The chief and the chief of staff handed out stacks of brand-new border area coins on both sides, jokingly saying: "These border area coins are exchanged with Guanghua coupons one to one. Comrades, take a look at it and don't hide it secretly!"

These words immediately made the cadres laugh.

What Wang Xuexin received was a denomination of five yuan.

"Wu Yuan" is written on both sides of it with pattern strokes.

The pattern in the middle is a city gate building, with a few fellow villagers in cotton clothes walking in front of them, seeming to be busy and talking.

On the top of the pattern is written "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Bank" in traditional characters from right to left, and "30 Years of the Republic of China" is written on the bottom.

Wang Xuexin was a little bit emotional. During this period of time, the base area had been plundered by the recalcitrant army and devils with French currency, and there was no way to fight back.
The ideas of other cadres are similar to Wang Xuexin. Most of them know what the issuance of district currency here means.

Only Li Yunlong had a different idea. He took a [-] yuan border area coin and took a picture under the kerosene lamp, squinted his eyes for a while, and asked: "Chief, can this coin be exchanged for a jug of wine?"

"All you think about is wine!" The chief scolded fiercely, "Isn't the dozens of jars of wine from Chu Yunfei a few days ago not enough for you?"

Li Yunlong was like a child who was caught stealing candy, and he replied in embarrassment: "Then...then how can it be called a lie? It is obviously a gift from someone!"

Zhang Wanhe answered: "You, Li Yunlong, can even pull out a few hairs from wild geese flying by. You are also given by wild geese?"

There was another burst of laughter in the conference room.

Li Yunlong's personality of "not enough to take advantage of and suffer from losses" is well known in the Eighth Route Army. Of course, everyone understands what the so-called "send" is all about.

The chief waited for the venue to become quieter, and then continued: "This time I called comrades, and one of them was talking about the border area currency. There are six kinds of coupons and four denominations of the district currency here. Comrades, please remember clearly. They are There is one dime and two dime each, five yuan and ten yuan each. When I go back, I will publicize it with the soldiers. From now on, legal currency will be banned from circulation!"

The chief of staff interrupted at this moment: "Speaking of which, we have to thank Comrades Li Yunlong and Wang Xuexin! Everyone has heard that they sold three rocket launchers for 600 million catties of grain, 600 million catties... This has laid a solid foundation for the issuance of border currency! Thanks to them!"

The applause rang out with a "wow".

Wang Xuexin hurriedly got up and saluted.

He understood what the Chief of Staff meant by "laying the groundwork."

As I said before, having food, especially in this difficult period, has the right to make decisions.

For example, if the 600 million catties of grain are distributed to various places, and it is stipulated that the food can only be exchanged for border currency, then the villagers can only think of ways to earn border currency.

After a long time, the purpose of using border currency to drive out legal currency has been achieved.

Li Yunlong was a little confused. He didn't know the connection between grain and the issuance of border currency, but he still got up amidst the applause and said with a smile, "You're welcome!"

Then the chief changed the subject, and said with a serious face:

"Comrades, although our army has achieved great results in this battle. However, many problems have also been exposed during the battle."

"The most serious thing is that our army is used to going forward as a group and charging in a dense formation."

"It's too big to hit the target like this. Being shot by the enemy's cannons and machine guns, a few shells and a few shuttle bullets will knock down a large area, and the loss is too great!"

"So, it's time for us to think about tactics. I think we should fight in a dispersed formation to minimize our army's casualties and losses on the battlefield! Only in this way can we fight better!"

The cadres nodded in agreement, and what the chief said was actually a common problem of the Eighth Route Army at this time.

Due to the rapid expansion of the Eighth Route Army and the fact that most of its troops were workers and peasants without military training, they often fought in swarms, like gang fights.

In this regard, Wang Xuexin was deeply touched.

As a soldier, he has noticed the tactical and quality problems of the Eighth Route Army since he first came to this world.

He sometimes felt a little strange, saying that the battlefield is the best school and training ground. For example, during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, many recruits became veterans after fighting a few battles on the battlefield, and then they fought well. Why did the Eighth Route Army fight? After a few battles it was still the same.

After a little thought, Wang Xuexin understood.

The period of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea was a period when tactics were relatively mature. What new recruits entered the army and fought with veterans was standard and proved to be useful on the battlefield, so they grew very rapidly.

But the Eighth Route Army... Their tactics are still in the immature primary stage, and what the veterans say is not necessarily correct, and some of them are even contradictory, so the recruits also learn from it and fight a few battles.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that it is useful to have a correct tactical guidance first, and then practice in the right direction.

Can modern tactics be used in the Eighth Route Army?

Wang Xuexin soon discovered that this seemed out of place.

For example, modern times pay attention to the coordination of infantry and artillery. The infantry is more of a role of "artillery observer", that is, as the eyes and ears of the artillery. They report the position of the target to the artillery by radio. Artillery does not use the combat principle of infantry charge.

But this obviously wouldn't work with the Eighth Route Army, not to mention the lack of such advanced communication equipment, and even if it did, there wouldn't be that many artillery units to coordinate with.

Another example is the modern use of skirmishers to charge... This is also not suitable for the Eighth Route Army.

The reason why the advance of skirmish formation is possible is that the unit area equipped with assault rifles has enough firepower to impact the enemy's defense line.

If the Eighth Route Army uses a skirmish formation, its weak firepower will form a weak refueling tactic, that is, it is not enough to pose a threat to the enemy, but it will be added one by one to die.
