Chapter 356 Persuasion
It is true that when a cannon is fired, a thousand taels of gold are obtained.
According to the situation that the Japanese wanted to protect at that time, it must be valuables. Zhang Yunfei never expected that the box contained money.
There are three big boxes, one of which contains a box full of silver coins, the other two boxes contain antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and some gold and silver.
How much money is this? Zhang Ergou is really lucky. He can seize so much money casually.
However, Qi Dajiu was still very disappointed. These three big boxes were valuable, but they couldn't be divided. He just tried it with a copper plate, which was a violation of discipline.
Zhang Yunfei was also quite disappointed in this regard. He could not move this batch of money and antiques, although they were valuable enough for the Eighth Route Army.
This money is still very important to the Eighth Route Army. Although they provide it internally collectively, they still need to purchase supplies externally.
However, Zhang Yunfei, like Qi Dajiu, was a little disappointed when he saw the money. After all, it could not improve his team's immediate combat effectiveness.
"Hurry up and seal the box, Tie Dan. I'll give you a task. Send the money to the regiment headquarters as soon as possible." Zhang Yunfei, who came back to his senses, immediately ordered Tie Dan.
After listening to Zhang Yunfei's instructions, Zhang Yunfei, who looked like he was in pain, kicked him and said: "Look at your little potential, you haven't seen any money, so I'm telling you, don't give it."
I'll make things happen."
Guns and ammunition are intercepted and taken away. They must have no practical use other than being used in combat.
But when it comes to money, it's different. It's hard to tell what the money will be used for, and its nature is completely different.
"This, I have never seen so much money." Tiedan said honestly.
He used to be an authentic mountain man who didn't even have a few coins in his hands. He had never seen so much real money. This was true, but he always felt like he was talking nonsense.
"Don't let me work because I'm poor." Zhang Yunfei glared at him.
"I didn't expect that this kid could bring out an elite team." Qi Dajiu sighed.
Qi Dajiu, who had been keeping an eye on Zhang Yunfei, naturally knew the organization of Zhang Yunfei's third battalion very well, and also knew the role of the Tiedan reconnaissance platoon.
For this reason, not to lag behind others, he also formed his own reconnaissance platoon. In fact, his second battalion reconnaissance platoon did equally well.
Zhang Yunfei didn't find it annoying that Qi Dajiu had to compete with him in everything. Having a rival to compare with was a good thing for him and the Third Battalion.
Only competition can promote each other, so Zhang Yunfei still welcomes Qi Dajiu's behavior of stealing from others from time to time, and even sometimes deliberately reminds him.
"Yeah, I really didn't expect this kid to be really good at being a scout." Zhang Yunfei sighed in the same way.
"This kid has done such a good job. Why, I don't plan to put any extra burden on him."
"What are you adding? Just like you, the reconnaissance platoon has almost caught up with a company. Don't you think about it. In the reconnaissance combat mode, if you can catch up with a company as a platoon, how flexible can you be?"
Zhang Yunfei said in a bad mood.
"What does the reconnaissance force do? Their requirements are to be capable and flexible. Why do they bring so much equipment and organization? How is it different from an ordinary company? Can they still run?"
After listening to Zhang Yunfei's questioning, Qi Dajiu was a little dumbfounded and said awkwardly: "Don't I want to strengthen their combat effectiveness?"
"Increasing combat effectiveness is not something you can do with additions. How about adding heavy machine guns to them? See how they can still run. Your reconnaissance platoon should really be streamlined."
The troops of the Eighth Route Army often have eyebrows and beards, and the more troops the better. There are not many functional units that have been subdivided.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Qi Dajiu made such routine mistakes when conducting reconnaissance platoons.
There is nothing wrong with the fact that the troops have been expanded to the point where they are super-strength. This is how many units of the Eighth Route Army were developed.
However, the reconnaissance force cannot do this. It is too bloated and inconsistent with their combat nature.
Regarding the establishment of his second battalion, Zhang Yunfei only casually mentioned that Qi Dajiu is a stubborn donkey, and he will rebel if told.
However, he said it so casually and a little bit, and he could still listen to the military opinions.
After all, it was an internal matter of his second battalion. If he talked about it more, he would probably start to react, so Zhang Yunfei changed the subject and said: "Judging from the battle situation in Xingzhuang, our breakthrough battle obviously overwhelmed the enemy, and the reaction speed
We are obviously much slower. We broke through the Xingzhuang stronghold, but the Japanese reinforcements did not arrive, which obviously shows that there is a problem with the Japanese troops."
Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for the Eighth Route Army to break into Japanese strongholds, especially large ones.
It’s not that the enemy in the Japanese stronghold cannot be defeated, but that as long as the Japanese stronghold persists for a short period of time, reinforcements will arrive from all directions. This is the biggest difficulty in breaking the Japanese stronghold.
However, this general attack broke this tight series network and exposed the weakness of the Japs' insufficient troops. There were wars everywhere, and the Japs' little mobile strength was simply not enough to go to rescue everywhere.
Take this battle against Xingzhuang. If it were normal times, as long as they attacked Xingzhuang, the Japanese from Qingling County would soon come for reinforcements. They would not have enough time to break through the enemy stronghold.
But this was not the case this time. There was no sign of Japanese reinforcements at all.
"The Japs are obviously short of troops now, but this is only for a short period of time. Time waits for no one. What about your second battalion actually coming? Are you interested in taking another shot?"
The main purpose of the Eighth Route Army's general breakthrough campaign was to make more breakthroughs, so that the Japanese were caught off guard and overwhelmed. However, in the later stage, when the Japanese forces adjusted, it was no longer a breakthrough campaign, but a counter-mopping operation.
Therefore, the time they can really take the initiative is still very short. This is true in the entire large-scale battle situation, and the same is true when it is narrowed down to Qingling and even the Xingzhuang area.
And now that they are outside, they can do things cheaply. Now they have gathered three battalions of troops here, which is a regiment.
With so many people staying here, it would be a bit wasteful if we didn't make full use of it and do something.
So Zhang Yunfei began to lobby Qi Dajiu, hoping that Qi Dajiu could cooperate with him.
Because this guy Qi Dajiu is easy to fool... much easier to convince. As long as this guy is beneficial, he doesn't mind being a thug for someone he hates a bit.
