Chapter 409 Military Pay
At the northern foot of the Dabie Mountains, Longyuan Town.

After a 12-hour march, the 31st Division finally arrived at the resting place of the Second Army.

With twelve cavalry, an officer with the appearance of a lieutenant galloped towards Liang Shanhao on a tall horse.

Shhhhhh!
Seeing Liang Shanhao, the lieutenant jumped off his horse.

After giving a military salute to Liang Shanhao, the lieutenant raised his voice and shouted: "Mr. Chi, welcome the brothers of the 31st Division to return in triumph!"

He also gave a military salute to the lieutenant, and Liang Shanhao shouted, "Haha! Thank you! Thank you! May I ask Director Niu, are all the medicines and bandages you need ready?"

Director Niu responded, "Don't worry, Master Chi, Commander-in-Chief Sun has long ordered our logistics department to prepare enough medicines and bandages in Longyuan Town, in order to help the wounded heal their wounds!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Okay! It's Mr. Sun who is considerate of our 31st Division!"

Director Niu shouted: "Mr. Chi, you led the 31st Division in the retreat. You have repeatedly made military exploits and wiped out so many devils. If we don't do anything in the logistics department, then we are really sorry for the brothers who are fighting bloody battles on the front line!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Director Niu, do I have another request?"

Director Niu shouted: "Mr. Chi, if you need help, as long as our logistics department can do it, I will do it for you!"

With a slight smile, Liang Shanhao shouted: "Director Niu, look, our brothers are exhausted from fighting for days, can you help my 31st division buy some meat and wine, I want to reward my brothers!"

With a look of embarrassment on his face, Director Niu shouted: "Mr. Chi, it is necessary to reward the armed forces. It's not that I don't want to do it. The key is that I don't have military expenses! The Military and Political Department has already owed us three months of military salary!"

With his eyes widened, Liang Shanhao shouted sharply: "What? I and my brothers are working so hard on the front line, and the military and political department can't even pay the brothers enough to eat! It's really unreasonable! What did Mr. Sun say? Why didn't you urge the chairman? Hurry up!"

Sighing heavily, Director Niu shouted: "Commander Sun has urged him more than once or twice, but every time the chairman has pushed the responsibility for this matter to the gangsters of the Military and Political Department!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "Damn it, this is outrageous! It seems that the problem of the tooth-beating ceremony can only be solved by yourself! Director Niu, go to Longyuan Town to prepare a place for the wounded soldiers first! The rest of us The troops will not enter the town!"

Director Niu responded, "Yes! But Mr. Chi, I have already prepared the mansion for the division headquarters!"

Waving his hands, Liang Shanhao shouted: "No, we won't enter the town if we don't have to, so as not to disturb the common people! We will be stationed outside the town tonight! The wounded will be entrusted to you!"

After agreeing again, Director Niu returned to Longyuan Town with the wounded soldiers.

At this time, Liang Shanhao shouted at the chief of staff again: "Chief of staff, order all the ministries to set up camp in the east of Longyuan Town and take a rest!"

Frowning slightly, the chief of staff shouted: "Master! We won't go into town anymore, brothers are exhausted! How can you rest in this wilderness!"

Liang Shanhao shouted: "I have always followed the example of Lord Yue in governing the army, adhering to the principle of not demolishing houses to death from freezing, and not plundering to death from starvation. Only in this way can our army survive better!"

The chief of staff responded, "Yes! Orders, tell the battalions to rest in the small woods to the east!"

……

Command Room of the Second Army Headquarters.

After more than three months of fighting, the Second Army finally got a valuable opportunity to rest.

When fighting a war, it doesn't matter whether the troops have money, the key is that they have enough guns and bullets.

But in the stage of rest and recuperation, money becomes very important!
After exhausting battles, the tens of thousands of soldiers of the Second Army at this time wanted to have a good night's sleep, or a good meal.

In terms of food and drink, the requirements of the soldiers are also very simple, just a bowl of meat, a glass of wine, and a puff of cigarettes.

But even such a simple request, as the highest officer of the entire Second Army, Commander-in-Chief Sun still couldn't do it!

The reason is that the Military and Political Department owed the Second Army's military salary.

If Commander-in-Chief Sun's army is a direct descendant of the Central Army, the military salary will definitely arrive on time. Unfortunately, the Second Army is the unpopular Northwest Army.

Pacing with his hands behind his back, Commander-in-Chief Sun called out, "Chief of Staff! Have you been reminded of the military salary owed by the Military and Political Department?"

The chief of staff responded and shouted: "I have been urged several times, but the military and political department said that the troops are in short supply, and our military pay will have to wait!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "Damn it, wait a minute, wait a bit, my second army is raised by a stepmother, so I just work and don't eat?"

During the Great War in the Central Plains, the Northwest Army, especially Commander-in-Chief Sun's troops, defeated the Central Army.

Although we are fighting devils now, and everyone is twisted into one rope on the surface, the chairman of the committee suppresses the Northwest Army all the time, especially in terms of military pay.

The chief of staff shouted: "Boss! The Battle of Wuhan will start in half a month. If you can't get enough rest during this half month, then this battle will be difficult to fight!"

After pondering for a while, Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "Chief of Staff, we can't let our brothers go hungry. You can urge the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, and send a telegram to the old chief in Wuhan, asking him to take care of us!"

The Chief of Staff responded, "Yes!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted again: "Has the 31st Division reached Longyuan Town?"

The chief of staff shouted: "We arrived at Longyeon Town in the morning. This time, the 31st Division fought fiercely for several rounds during the retreat, and there were many wounded!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun called out, "Have the wounded been properly arranged?"

The chief of staff shouted: "President, please don't worry, Director Niu has received the order and has rushed to Longyuan Town with medicines and health teams for treatment!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "That's good! That's good! This time in the battle of Xuzhou, Chifeng City's troops fought the best. I really should reward the 31st Division! It's a pity that I'm so shy! "

The chief of staff shouted: "Boss, don't talk about rewarding meat and wine, our army's ration supply can only last for half a month, and the next ration raising is probably going to be a problem!"

Commander-in-Chief Sun sighed and shouted: "Chief of Staff, we can't just rely on the big men of the Military and Political Department! We have to think of ways on our own? Chief of Staff, do you have any way to raise military salary?"

The Chief of Staff shouted: "There are not many rich places in the Dabie Mountains, but it is not impossible. There is a Huaixi County near us, and the commerce and trade are fairly developed. If we go there to raise donations, we should be able to raise part of the army's salary!"

Frowning slightly, Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "This method is not bad, but it's against the Army Law to collect donations privately!"

The chief of staff smiled and shouted: "Can a living person be suffocated by urine? We can talk to the county magistrate. I heard that banditry is very serious in this area. Maybe we can do something!"

Raising his eyebrows, Commander-in-Chief Sun shouted: "This is a good idea, but our military expenditure is a big hole, and Huaixi County will not solve the problem after all. The key is to urge the Military and Political Department!"

The chief of staff shouted: "Subordinates understand!"
