307 Others are in contact with Kong Jie and doing business at the same time
The craze for using arms to seize cash and material flows in enemy-occupied areas is getting bigger and bigger.
At first, the bandits were the first to participate, followed closely by the Eighth Route Army. Later, the stubborn troops and the Shanxi-Sui Army joined the camp one after another.
On the Jinsui Army side, the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, commander Yang Chongshan.
That is, the independent regiment ambushed the Yamamoto special agent team in Yangcun.
In an attempt to intercept the retreating Yamamoto Special Agents, the Yamamoto Special Agents seized the headquarters and severely damaged the Jinsui Army of more than 300 people.
Speaking of which, for such a Shanxi-Sui regiment that suffered a humiliating defeat, it stands to reason that the regiment leader Yang Chongshan should be dismissed from his post.
But later Yang Chongshan got the news from Kong Jie and immediately reported the news to his superiors, saying that the team that attacked the 57th Regiment was unusual and was a small elite combat force of the Japanese army.
In addition, Yang Chongshan was protected by someone in the Shanxi-Sui Army commander's department, and he seemed to be the nephew of a certain commander.
Yang Chongshan secretly gave heavy gifts to some officers in the commander's department, and the matter was suppressed.
Yang Chongshan continued to serve as the commander of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, and was not dismissed because of the tragic defeat at the hands of Yamamoto's special agent team.
Chu Yunfei, the commander of the 358th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, who learned about this at that time, after scolding Yang Chongshan for his incompetence, sighed:
"This is the essence of warlords. Under nepotism, real talents are often buried. Instead, mediocre and incompetent people sit in the position of commanders. Amateurs command experts. How can such an army win the war?"
……
After the wave of looting materials and cash from Japanese and puppet troops in enemy-occupied areas.
On the side of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, the regiment leader Yang Chongshan immediately changed his mind.
Last time, the 57th Regiment was severely damaged by Yamamoto's special agent team, and the losses were considerable. Although the Chief Executive Department did not revoke Yang Chongshan's position, it was actually extremely disappointed with the 57th Regiment. It was completely regarded as a fringe regiment, and even the military supplies were not enough.
Much is lacking.
In addition, Yang Chongshan spent a lot of money in order to keep his position, and life was not easy.
Suddenly there was an opportunity to make a fortune, how could Yang Chongshan let it pass?
"Now everyone is robbing money and supplies in enemy-occupied areas. There are bandits, the Central Army, the Eighth Route Army, and some troops from our Shanxi-Sui Army. This is a good opportunity to make a fortune, and our 57th Regiment cannot miss it." p>
To say that this Yang Chongshan has no backbone when he should have backbone. When he should have no backbone, he happens to have a lot of backbone.
The bandits, the Eighth Route Army, including the Central Army, mostly targeted remote areas. The Japanese and puppet troops controlled towns with relatively weak strength and loose defenses, and carried out armed actions to seize cash flow and material flow.
This Yang Chongshan is so good, but people with small goals look down upon him.
Directly targeting several banks and more than a dozen shops in Heyuan County.
After making up his mind, Yang Chongshan personally led a main battalion of the 57th Regiment. In the evening of that day, he attempted to break in directly from the Xiaonan Gate of Heyuan County, rob a bank shop and leave.
Yang Chongshan was very confident about this matter. He had heard about it a long time ago. During this period, bandits, the Central Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, and the Eighth Route Army were all making sneak attacks on the Japanese-occupied areas.
There are many people who successfully grabbed cash and supplies.
The little Japs are busy running around now. He, Yang Chongshan, has launched another sudden attack. The Japs in Heyuan County will certainly not be able to stop him.
The result was shocking. After Yang Chongshan led his team to attack, the Japanese quickly deployed defenses at the Xiaonan Gate of Heyuan County.
More than thirty Japs, relying on the defense of the Xiaonan Gate of Heyuan County, withstood the firepower of a main battalion of the 57th Regiment of the Shanxi-Sui Army, and persisted until the support of the gendarmerie and puppet garrison in the city.
Yang Chongshan saw more and more Japanese and puppet troops at the city gate.
He was also worried that the Japanese and puppet troops from around Heyuan County would arrive and surround and annihilate his team.
In desperation, he had no choice but to issue an order to retreat. He returned with no success and was disappointed.
When they retreated in despair, the team carried seventy or eighty more corpses.
This does not include the consumption of various types of ammunition during the attack on the Xiaonan Gate of Heyuan County.
……
The news quickly spread to the independent regiment station.
Kong Jie immediately called Jiang Dao.
"Jiang Dao, the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army has suffered a loss in Heyuan County. It has not reaped any benefits, but has lost a lot of troops. This is our opportunity. Last time you met Qian Shoucai,
How did the discussion go?"
Qian Shoucai is the third battalion commander of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army. He is a fellow villager with Jiang Dao. The two have known each other before.
After the Independent Regiment arrived at Niukou Village, Kong Jie sent Jiang Dao to contact Qian Shoucai and prepared to develop the business route of the 57th Regiment of the Jinsui Army.
It's just that although Qian Shoucai loves money, his courage is not very good, and he doesn't dare to sell arms privately.
The time is right now. The entire northwest of Shanxi is being turned into a pot of porridge, and everyone is taking advantage of the enemy-occupied areas!
It seems that no matter whether it is bandits or the army, as long as they take action, they can make a lot of money.
As a result, the 57th Regiment took action for the first time, and was in trouble.
The 57th Regiment, which suffered a loss at the hands of the Japanese, will probably not dare to rashly plunder the Japanese-occupied areas again.
But Yang Chongshan is also a guy who is greedy for money. Seeing that he can't get any benefits from the Japanese, he has to think of other ways.
At this time, Kong Jie's opportunity naturally came.
Jiang Dao replied: "Commander, although my fellow countryman has become a battalion commander, he is actually a coward. He dare not sell weapons to us no matter what."
Kong Jie said: "Well, this time you tell Qian Shoucai that we will increase it by another 30% based on the price we negotiated with him before."
"If Qian Shoucai still doesn't dare to take risks, you can give Qian Shoucai some benefits and ask him to bring a message to their leader Yang Chongshan."
"Tell them that as long as their 57th regiment is willing to provide equipment and ammunition, we will definitely not be short of money."
"Yes!" Jiang Dao responded.
After receiving the order, Jiang Dao rushed to the 57th Regiment that day and found Qian Shoucai, the commander of the 3rd Battalion of the 57th Regiment with ease.
"Brother, why are you here again? If it's the same thing as last time, don't blame me for refusing. It's really a matter of beheading. I can't lose my life just for some money.
Are you done?"
When he saw Jiang Dao, Qian Shoucai said preemptively.
Jiang Dao thought to himself, as expected, the group leader guessed correctly, Qian Shoucai still dare not make any independent decisions.
After thinking about it, Jiang Dao quietly put a tower of French coins into Qian Shoucai's hand, then moved closer and said:
"Brother Qian, this is the hard-earned money our group leader asked me to transfer to you on your behalf."
"Our group leader said, no matter whether this business succeeds or not, Brother Qian, you are our independent group's friend."
"In addition, regarding the price that Brother Qian and I discussed last time, our team leader said that for Brother Qian's sake, we can increase it by another 30%."
Qian Shoucai blurted out and said in surprise: "Thirty percent!"
The price is definitely not low, Qian Shoucai is a little excited.
Seeing the change in Qian Shoucai's expression, Jiang Dao struck while the iron was hot: "Brother Qian, we are brothers. I will not harm you. I know what you are worried about. If your third battalion sells arms privately, it will be a serious crime if it is discovered." "So I thought about it, instead of doing business with Brother Qian and putting the risk on Brother Qian, why not do business with Captain Yang and put the responsibility on Captain Yang!" p>
Qian Shoucai was startled for a moment, his eyes showing contemplation, and then he turned his attention to Jiang Dao. His heart was obviously moved, but he refused to let go.
"Brother, you don't know the temper of our group. If he knew that I secretly had dealings with your independent group, would he still skin me? How dare I tell him about this?"
Jiang Dao sneered in his heart. He knew this fellow's temperament very well.
This kind of money-keeping means not seeing the rabbit but not letting the eagle fly, and still want to get some benefits. The nature of a profiteer is insatiable greed.
After thinking about it, Jiang Dao went further and said seductively, "Brother Qian, there is no free lunch in the world. If you want to make money, you have to take some risks."
"Our team leader has raised the price by another 30% for you. Once you and Team Leader Yang have negotiated the deal, how much rebate you can get from it, isn't it your decision?"
"Only the two of us know this matter, and it will never come into the ears of a third person. When the time comes, Brother Qian, think about it, how much money can you make from it?"
"Brother Qian, you can lower the price and take a 10% or 20% casually. Isn't that excessive?"
"If you don't give this a try, who knows whether it will succeed? I heard that Brother Qian is very respectable with Commander Yang. Even if the negotiation doesn't go well, the worst he can do is get scolded by Commander Yang. But if it succeeds,
If..."
Jiang Dao didn't say anything else, but the temptation seemed even greater.
Qian Shoucai's eyes gleamed, as if he saw endless wealth rolling towards him.
Jiang Dao said that the business between the Independent Group and the 57th Group will not only happen once or twice, but can even reach a long-term deal. This is a big deal...
