My client Li Yunlong

"You didn't notice?"

Chu Yunfei looked at Fang Ligong in surprise.

Fang Ligong had been working with him for several years, starting before the Anti-Japanese War. Chu Yunfei thought that Fang Ligong had noticed the huge crisis facing the 358th Regiment, or the entire Shanxi-Sui Army.

"what?"

Fang Ligong was shocked:
"What trouble are we in?"

His mind was racing, but Fang Ligong really didn't expect that the 358th Regiment would be in big trouble in the near future.

"Brother who has made meritorious service."

Chu Yunfei sighed and changed the topic:
"What do you think of the treatment of grassroots soldiers in our Jinsui Army and the Central Army?"

"treatment?!"

Fang Ligong was stunned.

I thought that the topic of group seats was related to the difficulties faced by the 358th Regiment, so I thought quickly.

Today is a time of national crisis.

It can even be said that the country is in ruins and the family is in ruins.

The country's finances collapsed and the people in the country were in dire straits.

At this time, how much treatment can be given to grassroots soldiers?

Although the stipulation for ordinary soldiers is eight yuan of legal currency per month,

But rules are just rules.

It is actually difficult to distribute these eight yuan to the soldiers.

And due to the depreciation of legal currency, in fact, eight yuan of legal currency today is only equivalent to one dollar at the beginning of the war, which is half an ocean.

Firstly, in fact, the financial allocation is not that large at all, and it is impossible to distribute it even if you want to. Secondly, after layers of deductions, not much can reach the hands of grassroots soldiers.

As a result, soldiers who basically have preserved fruits receive almost no treatment. If they can have enough to eat, it is very good.

He Fang Ligong understood the current situation.

It is impossible for Tuanzuo not to know.

The 358th Regiment may be better. Because of the regiment's location, logistical supplies and military pay are ensured in a timely manner, and there are almost no or very few cases of deductions.

But other troops are very serious.

This also resulted in the army having to recruit a large number of strong men in order to replenish grassroots soldiers.

"you know too."

"How are our lower-level soldiers treated today?"

Before Fang Ligong could answer, Chu Yunfei sighed:

"So do you know how the soldiers of Li Yunlong and his group are treated recently?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Ligong's eyes widened immediately, and drops of cold sweat even dripped from his back.

What is the purpose of being a soldier?
Fang Ligong hopes that those who serve as soldiers are for the great cause of the party and the country, to protect their homes and the country, and to eliminate bandits. They will shed their blood on the battlefield and fight to the death to kill the enemy.

But the cruel reality is,
Many people, even the vast majority of them, join the army just to earn a living and for the few dollars in military pay.

Fang Ligong admired this very much and even envied the Eighth Route Army.

That group of people actually spent a lot of effort to train and educate ordinary grassroots soldiers in cultural knowledge, especially in the Taiyue Mountains and Taihang Mountains. Soldiers who have recently joined the army will have to undergo six months of military training and ideological education.

There are troops of the Eighth Route Army near the 358th Regiment.

It is also the main force group in the Taiyue base area.

Over the past two months, Fang Ligong has seen clearly.

Although in name they do not pay military pay, only allowances, in fact, they get a monthly allowance of one hundred yuan, even for new recruits who participate in training.

Even at today's exchange price on the market, it is equivalent to twelve oceans.

And they still have plenty to eat.

Faced with such a huge gap, my own soldiers might run towards the Eighth Route Army whenever they get the chance.

"No wonder!"

Fang Ligong smiled bitterly.

Recently, he has been paying attention to the domestic situation and not enough attention to the troops.

Can't blame him.

After all, the 358th Regiment has been quiet for a long time. It has not fought with the Japanese for a long time and has been stationed safely. It is normal for his attention to be separated from the army for a long time.

At this moment, Fang Ligong recalled that during the recent period,
The 358th Regiment received almost no new recruits.

Some soldiers were even lost.

Fang Ligong didn't pay much attention to it before.

It's normal for some people to be unable to cope with the environment of the army. Although they were a little quick, the junior officers gave a reasonable reason. He just asked the army to strengthen control.

It is understandable that there are no new recruits, after all, the troops have not been fighting recently.

but,
The superiors have made it clear that they want to build the 358th Regiment into a super regiment of 5,000 people and give priority to replenishing the troops. The current gap is still more than 500 people.

There is no reason to stop the recruitment of new recruits.

as well as,

Is the rate of loss of soldiers too fast?
In just one month, nearly a hundred soldiers left secretly, and among them there were many excellent soldiers with high level of knowledge, soldiers who could drive trucks and understand machinery.

Now that I think about it, I'm afraid there is a direct reason for this being the Eighth Route Army.

"Have all the recently lost soldiers joined the Eighth Route Army?"

Fang Ligong guessed.

"Correct!"

Chu Yunfei nodded.

"But how could our group..."

Fang Ligong still couldn't believe it.

He could understand the other troops.

But they are a group of three, five and eight!
"Because someone is pushing these soldiers to leave."

Chu Yunfei said.

"what?"

Fang Ligong is still in disbelief:
"What good does this do?"

"Of course there are benefits."

Chu Yunfei said:
"The price they clearly quoted over there for the soldiers of my 358th Regiment to join their army is a starting price of 30 oceans. For technical soldiers, the starting price is 500 oceans."

"!"

Fang Ligong's eyes widened immediately.

Then his expression became visibly angry.

The Eighth Route Army is breaking the rules.

This is··
However, Chu Yunfei's words extinguished his anger.

"They call this money resettlement fees."

"Resettlement fee..." Fang Ligong smiled bitterly.

The placement fee is okay.

Theoretically, there are also preserved fruits, including for those strong men, but in reality, they are still just a cake. We have to wait until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, drive the Japanese out, wait until the preserved fruits completely control the country, wait until...

However, the Eighth Route Army really gave it.

Once the resettlement fee is paid,
Even if they severely punish the intermediary officers, driven by interests, there will be a steady stream of people participating.

"The other troops..."

Only then did Fang Ligong understand what the big crisis and big trouble that the group leader was talking about was.

After seeing the strength of the main force on the opposite side, Fang Ligong knew that they had no chance of winning in a military conflict.

Even though the main regiment of the Eighth Route Army opposite had only 2,500 people.

Today, the Eighth Route Army's military deterrence, although it does not take direct action, is suppressed by economic offensives. When thinking about the situation that the Jinsui Army will face next, troops are constantly being lost.

Fang Ligong felt shuddering.

It was a dull knife cutting flesh, and there was nothing they could do about it.

"do not know."

Chu Yunfei snorted coldly.

"···"

Fang Ligong remained silent.

The 358th Regiment is not a big problem.

Even when there are officers in the regiment secretly exerting their strength. Only nearly a hundred people were lost in more than a month. For a large regiment with a total strength of more than 4,700 people, the impact was very small.

The group seat can also control the situation in time.

But other regiments.

Anyone who has done meritorious service can guess that a large number of group leaders will be personally involved in this deal.

"Where did they get all this money?"

Feeling desperate, Fang Ligong couldn't help but ask.

"do not know."

Chu Yunfei shook his head.

···
That night.

Northern Review.

On the water tower 2.3 kilometers away from the Japanese North China Front.

"The equipment is all installed."

Qian Dayun said to Wang Gensheng, who had come in as a staff member of the water supply company not long after arriving in Beiping.

"it is good."

Wang Gensheng nodded.

"Are you sure this time?"

Even the old Red Army Qian Dayun couldn't help but ask.

As the executor, he still didn't know how the comrade from the Independent Regiment in front of him was going to kill the Japanese Chief of Staff Watanabe.

He couldn't understand the equipment he had personally placed on the water tower.

Isn't it just some radio stations?

Relying on the radio to kill old Japanese Watanabe?
He had previously speculated that it was through airplanes, but the old Japanese soldier Watanabe had been hiding in the headquarters. The Japanese North China Front Army Headquarters was a tortoise shell that could not be penetrated even by the Japanese soldier's 800-kilogram bomb.

Even more troublesome is that.

No one knew which room Old Devil Watanabe was in.

The Japanese kept a tight lid on him, and he spent thousands of dollars, but he couldn't find any clues.

"Old man Watanabe is dead."

"Even if the King of Heaven comes, I can't save him."

Wang Gensheng chuckled.

After more than thirty live-fire training sessions, he is now able to accurately guide bombs to hit targets.

A three-ton aerial bomb loaded with Octogen high-explosives. The projectile is made of alloy steel, which is harder than the gun barrel. It can easily drill through six meters of concrete.

It is easy to penetrate the headquarters of the Japanese North China Front.

The intelligence from the regiment headquarters also determined and confirmed that the old Japanese Watanabe was in the basement of the headquarters.

Old Japs Watanabe is dead!

"That's good!"

Qian Dayun also laughed.

"After the incident is completed, we will retreat immediately. These radio stations..."

Qian Dayun looked at the water tower.

Although I don’t know how the superiors plan to start.

But after the incident is completed, the Japanese will surely search wildly.

The radio equipment he brought up was not light. It weighed about thirty kilograms and was quite large. It also contained an antenna more than ten meters long. It was not easy to evacuate with this.

There are a large number of Japanese soldiers blocking a three-kilometer radius, and it is not easy to take them away.

Afterwards, the Japanese conducted a large-scale search and found it easily.

"It's ok."

Wang Gensheng chuckled and said:

"I'm going to destroy the station afterwards."

"Actually, even if the Japanese are completely captured, it won't have any impact."

Radio guidance technology is not an advanced technology.

The Germans have done similar research.

The remote control is not an advanced device.
Although the remote control he used was indeed very advanced, just like the second-generation radio, even if the Japanese captured it, they could only stare blankly.

More than 20 years of advanced technology.

In particular, the technology of integrated circuits cannot be thoroughly studied by the Japanese.

"Ha ha··"

Qian Dayun couldn't help laughing.

Having been trained at the headquarters, he naturally knew that compared to technology, his family was about several decades more advanced than the Japanese.

At noon that day,

A plane named Yun-6 took off from the Taiyue Base Airport and arrived over Beiping after a two-hour flight.

Although the Japanese discovered the plane immediately, they did not respond in time.

Instead, the plane was allowed to gradually approach the headquarters. (End of chapter)
