The terrifying gunshot wound on Matsuura Rokuro's corpse had already made Xue Shuda know that it was definitely not caused by his command, but Tang Dao was extremely generous in handing over the rare Japanese Lieutenant General's body to him and bring back to the 4th Army.
It was clearly a matter of giving up military achievements. Even if the premise was that the 43rd Army had already made great achievements, it was not necessary to have a Japanese lieutenant general's body to prove it.
But Xue Shuda still appreciated this love. While making the promise of Colonel Xie to replace him, he also gave Tang Dao a few large wooden boxes that the 106th Division had to carry even if he fled. It naturally meant that I wanted to give you something to the lieutenant general's head.
Rokuro Matsuura was very determined. Through the interrogation of the prisoners, he knew that on the evening of the 24th, he ordered the corps to "burn" the corps flags. The division headquarters also burned the division flags and some important archives. They also carried some of Matsuura's personal items.
Xue Shuda came from a noble family and was accustomed to gold, silver and jewelry. Naturally, he was not very interested in it. He did not even read it and did a favor.
But perhaps when he knows the value of the items contained in this batch of wooden boxes, he will definitely regret it so much that his intestines are blue.
There is no jewelry or silver in the wooden box, it is all gold!
Even with Tang Dao's knowledge, after Lu Sanjiang and others opened the wooden box, the three gold bars that were neatly arranged with golden light flashed, flashed his eyes.
Each wooden box has a foot of 150 kilograms. Excluding the weight of the camphor wood box itself, the gold bar is as much as 1,400 taels, and the three major boxes are 4,200 taels. If it is exchanged for a real ocean according to the current exchange ratio, it is nearly 400,000, which is equivalent to twice the reward given by Commander Xue before the war and will take a turn!
It turns out that although Matsuura Rokuro came to China for a short time, this guy is definitely a little expert in plundering money. Every time he goes, he plunders local wealthy families. According to the population of his family, each person will buy his life for five taels of gold, and those who cannot afford it will be killed!
Faced with such a vicious guy, those rich families who don’t have time to run out have to pay the “ransom” even if they lose their family’s assets, they will sacrifice their wealth to save their lives!
Using this method that is more cruel than a robber, the accumulation of wealth by Matsuura Rokuro is just like opening a money printing factory.
In order to make it easier to carry, the gold and silver plundered by the subordinates made them into neat gold bars, one with 10 taels and 500 grams, and a specially customized camphor wood box with 140 pieces.
After three months, three large boxes were filled. No matter whether they had military achievements or not, even if they were transferred back to serve as reserve, it would be absolutely fine for Matsuura Rokuro to return to Japan to become a rich man.
This is three months of hard work and a dream of a prosperous future! No wonder Matsuura Rokuro was reluctant to throw these big boxes even if he ran for his life.
However, this Japanese lieutenant general who had already finished his life never dreamed that he would be hunted by the Chinese army with more than 20,000 troops, and took him and more than 20,000 troops. He also made a wedding dress for Tang Dao after he worked hard to plunder.
The Four Corps originally had a huge deposit of the 29th Army at Citibank, but it was not too short of money, but the withdrawal was really troublesome. Every time they took the money, they had to be transported to the secret military factory in the coal mine outside HD through layers of Japanese troops. Over time, it would eventually increase the risk of exposure.
So unless it is an emergency payment, Tang Dao will not call Gong Shaoxun, who is responsible there, to withdraw the money.
The 200,000 oceans were not very needed for the Four Lines, but for the 43rd Army at this time, it solved the urgent problem.
In the previous battle, plus the Battle of Wanjialing, more than 2,000 of the 43rd Army were killed and more than 2,000 were seriously injured. The pensions and treatment fees for officers and soldiers were like a mountain that weighed on the hearts of Comrade Lao Guo, several divisions and brigade-level commanders.
Although the Ministry of Military Affairs promised that all participating troops would be paid for their pensions and treatment expenses, they would be paid out soon.
But ordinary officers and soldiers would not think so. The superiors asked them to work hard. If they fought hard, they won the battle in the end. The dead brothers still have family to support them. Just opening white strips can be used to dominate the money, and they have to see the cash.
What's more, to a certain extent, Comrade Lao Guo actually has similar ideas with his officers and soldiers. Tian Tian knew when the Baitiao issued by the Ministry of Military Affairs will be in place!
When the national crisis comes, the financial situation will be tight and the distribution will be temporarily suspended. Can you still eat those bastards in one bite?
Isn't this just sleepy encountering a pillow, and the money just flew over.
Comrade Lao Guo looked at the three big boxes of gold bars brought back by Tang Dao. The big hug hugged Tang Dao, which made Tang Dao suspect that this person definitely regarded him as his own son.
But Comrade Lao Guo was extremely righteous. Although he had to spend money in various places, he did not take all the money just because he was the leader. He collected two boxes of gold bars to serve as military funds, and insisted on leaving a box for Tang Dao.
Because that is what Tang Dao deserves, it has nothing to do with whether Tang Dao is close to him or not. It is also the clear distinction between public and private affairs that Comrade Guo has always been the norm!
"How do you think we should spend this money? If you want to bring it back to the war zone, the journey is really far away." Tang Dao casually weighed a gold bar while asking several officers who were qualified to enter the room.
"Be good! Sir, when will we fight again?" Long Yan looked at Tang Tuanzuo taking out the gold bar from the box and weighing it, his saliva was almost dripping.
I like you like the way you have never seen the world! Tang Dao glanced at Longyan, who wanted to fight another battle and grab some gold bars, and smiled slightly: "Do you like it? Or do you want to share one by one for each of us first? It's just a reward for participating in the battle this time."
In this battle in Wanjialing, because they did not participate in the front battlefield, the dozens of people under Tang Dao were miraculously not sacrificed. Only three of them were hit by bullets. They had surgery in the field hospital to remove the warhead and then bandaged it with bandages. They were also injected with antibacterial penicillin, and they returned to the team without even being hospitalized.

Even Gu Xishui, who is calm in daily life, was a little moved by this proposal from Tang Tuanzuo. He had no feelings for money, but it did not mean that he would not consider the brothers under his command.
However, Gu Xishui and Lu Sanjiang both followed Tang Dao Jiujiu and knew that Tang Tuanzuo had always been a very deliberate person. He didn't have to ask anyone else what he wanted to do. He must have some other reason for saying this.
"Okay! Then I'll go back to my sister and ask her to save it for me. At that time..." Long Yan opened his mouth wide and was very happy.
"What will you do then? Marry a bunch of wives for your child and give birth to a bunch of kids, and strengthen the population of your Yeyue Village?" Lu Sanjiang asked with a smile.
"Hehe! Marry one, marry one. We Jiuli tribes are not like you guys. They like to eat what is in the bowl and look in the pot, especially those with yellow hair and blue eyes. They don't know what they look like if they have a baby!" Long Yan opened his mouth, but his mouth was unblocked.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became inexplicably awkward.
Gu Xishui stroked his forehead hard. If he knew that this guy's mouth was so big, he would have blocked his mouth with chicken legs.
Good guy, is it not open to any pot, right? He even pointed at the mulberry tree and scolded the locust tree. What’s more important is that the big locust tree is still holding a gold bar in his hand.
No one is a fool. Their handsome and compelling commander knew that they were definitely not the kind of man who was flirting with Qin and Chu, but the blonde girl from the United States looked at the admiring look at the commander, especially the dear Tang, tsk! If the reporter from Tan Tai was at the scene, there would be bruises under the cliffs of a certain commander!
"That's it! Since you, Long Yan, look down on our Han family, when you go back, I will ask Second Lieutenant Long to throw Shen Laoliu back to the reconnaissance company. Since you have long known that the Han men are not reliable, how can you even jump into the fire pit?" Tang Dao threw the gold bar back to the box without hesitation and said lightly.
"Sir, don't! My sister has taken good care of my brother-in-law for so long. I have read all the things I shouldn't have to read. If I don't get married, my brother-in-law will not be a human being." Long Yan was anxious at the time.
"Puchi!" Lu Sanjiang almost didn't squirt.
This guy can really tell the reason for being so fresh and refined.
"Damn it, for the sake of your sister and Shen Laoliu, I won't kick your baby out today!" Tang Dao was also amused and cried, and turned his head and looked at Gu Xishui seriously.
"Well, Company Commander Gu, behind his back, no, he criticized the Speaker in person, how should military law punish him?"
"This is a positive criticism, there seems to be no military law regulations, but it should be imprisoned for three days in prison or fortification construction for one week." Gu Xishui thought for a moment.
"Okay, from today on, this box will be responsible for ensuring safety and transportation! If you lose one gold bar, you will get twenty military sticks!" Tang Dao nodded.
"I can't move any of them!" Long Yan looked at the big golden box with a grievance.
"Brother Longyan, you can spend money to hire people! Two dollars a day, I will be responsible for helping you find brothers to carry with you!" Lu Sanjiang patted his chest loyally.
"Ahem! Sir, I suggest this box of gold bars is used to purchase military supplies in the mountain city or recruit new recruits. This can not only show some people the source of excellent military weapons in the four-way group, but also allow the elders of my hometown to accompany us to the battlefield without any worries!" Gu Xishui interrupted the two unreliable guys who went to the sky and returned to the right path.
"As for the rewards for participating in the war, it is better to wait until the return to the regiment and then reward them separately according to the regulations of the regiment headquarters."
"Okay! Then follow Company Commander Gu's idea!" Tang Dao was obviously satisfied with Gu Xishui's answer and nodded.
He looked back at Lu Sanjiang with his thoughts and Long Yan, whose eyes were clear and stupid, and sighed slightly: "It has been a year since the War of Resistance Against Japan. You have seen the situation of the war, but it is still stalemate. This means that the war with the Japanese will not end within one year, two, or even three or four years. This must be a long-term and arduous process.
You are not only my closest and trusted comrades-in-arms, but also the best soldiers of my Chinese army, and you are destined to take on greater responsibilities!
When the brothers under your command are not only dozens but hundreds or even thousands, you have to think about it carefully before making any decision, because every decision of yours is related to the lives of your comrades and brothers who are with you day and night!
For example, Longyan, because of your persistence on the battlefield, you created a miracle that is not big or small with the two of them, which may be recorded in history in the future! But have you ever considered that if there was a small team of infantry in the 200 Japanese army that was not discovered by you, your lives and your two comrades might be lost because of your persistence?”
"I think about it!" Long Yan frowned in the face of Tang Dao's aggressive questioning.
Gu Xishui looked at the young man of Jiuli who was about to become the platoon leader under his command with some concern. He had already understood Tang Dao's intention at this moment.
This is actually not an assessment. Everyone will be greedy for money, but Tang Tuanzu has enough confidence in their brothers. At least they will not lose themselves in front of money, even Longyan, who has just joined the Sixing Group.
He wants money and start a family, which comes from human instinct needs, and that’s nothing wrong! It can even be said that he is not hypocritical and possesses the quality of a childish heart that Tang Dao admires very much.
Otherwise, he would not have been here today.
Although Gu Xishui and Lu Sanjiang are not high in military positions, they are both the most staunch supporters around Tang Dao. They are in the same level as Lei Xiong, Li Jiujin, Yang Xiaoshan, Qian Dazhu, Zhao Daqiang and others.
Long Yan is growing up, but in Tang Dao's opinion, he may be a good soldier, but he is not qualified to be a commander.
Even if he was to comfort Yeyue Village and gave him a rank of lieutenant, when Tang Dao felt that he was not qualified to become a platoon commander, it would be absolutely impossible to hand over the lives of fifty or sixty people to him.

"Report to the chief, what you just said would not exist at all. The reason why I wanted to do that group of Japanese devils was a decision after careful observation. The Japanese infantry had the habit of piled up rifles into a pile of them and it was easy to get the gun, but there was no one at the scene!
That's why I discussed fucking them with the two elder brothers. It's not that I was so angry that I rushed up as soon as I saw the ghosts.
However, if there is another scene, the Japanese artillery is bombing our army, and we only have three reconnaissance teams, I think I will do my best to restrain it.
If we die, we will only die of three of us, but if the artillery covers one round, there will be no less than thirty brothers who will die!" Long Yan, who thought for a while, answered Tang Dao with his head held high and his chest raised.
"Oh?" Tang Dao looked at the recruit who had gone through three small battlefields without comment. After pausing for a long time, a smile finally appeared on his face and patted Long Yan's shoulder.
"Okay! After arriving in Sichuan Province this time, I will give you 10 recruits, platoon leader Long, and select the most flexible, tough and hard-working seedlings for me. My hometown should not disappoint you."
Seeing Tang Dao go out, Long Yan asked Gu Xishui blankly: "What does this mean by sir? Did I say anything wrong just now? I gave me 10 places, and there are 80 people in each rank?"
"Congratulations to Platoon Leader Long, you have to invite you to dinner today!" Lu Sanjiang said with a smile.
"Congratulations, I'm the second lieutenant platoon leader long ago? Brother Gu, please tell me quickly, did I offend the commander just now, and he asked me to take 10 people?" Long Yan was so anxious that he scratched his head.
"Idiot, the newly established regiment directly under the mountain infantry company has 283 people, with a 4th platoon and 3rd squad system. There are about 60 infantry platoons, including about 12 veterans, and the rest are new recruits. I will give you 10 good seedlings selected from thousands of people. That is what the commander values you and also the commander supports my mountain infantry company." Gu Xishui rolled his eyes.
"That means, I can lead troops too?" Long Yan opened his mouth in disbelief, and his little tongue was almost trembling.
"That's what it means!"
"Then can I ask the two big brothers Pangda and Wuming to transfer to my infantry platoon?" Long Yan's ambitions continued to expand and ferment.
"Depending on the officer's attitude towards you, I guess it may be possible, but you still have to ask for their personal opinions." Gu Xishui told him very clearly.
"The chief is so kind to me, I will never talk about that foreign girl again." Longyan, who was happy, swore to the point of repaying the favor of a certain chief.
The sir is blind! Your eyes are almost rolling to the sky, so you can't ignore this? Even if you want to mention it, do you succeed while the two of you are not there?
"That's my business partner of the Four Army Group. What can I avoid? But remember, don't talk about it in front of irrelevant personnel, so as not to expose military secrets!" Tang Dao, who had not yet walked away from the door, twitched his lips hard, snorted and left a sentence and walked away.
"Not related to personnel, who is it? Company Commander Dan Tai shouldn't count!" Long Yan subconsciously said to himself.
"You've been carrying a large box worth hundreds of pounds these days and can't block your mouth!" Gu Xishui and Lu Sanjiang wanted to just use gold bars to block this guy's big mouth.
Good guy, your baby is afraid that the backyard of Tang Tuanzuo will not catch a fire, right?
After staying in Jiangcheng for two days, the army, division and brigade commanders happily received the medal. Tang Dao himself got the third-class treasure tripod medal. After the Jiangcheng camp specially held a state funeral ceremony for Chen Ping, Tang Dao took Xia Dayu, Mingxin, Longyan and Lu Sanjiang to Yiling with him.
He will take a boat from there to cross the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River to return to his hometown to visit his relatives!
Lu Sanjiang shot himself in the foot, and the box of gold bars along the way belonged to him and Long Yan. He didn't think about the daily wage of 2 oceans. Long Yan had been treating guests for such a long time, and his face had been cleaner. If he wanted to eat meat, he had to rely on Lu Sanjiang to help him.
The remaining personnel were led by Gu Xishui himself and took the train to Chang'an, and then returned to the war zone from Chang'an.
Gu Xishui not only wanted to rush back to form his mountain infantry company, but also because there were two female soldiers in his team.
The two women's documents of the regiment headquarters who were corporals as soon as they joined the army, and the appointment letter was covered with the seal of the Jiangcheng camp!
It is estimated that the more the Sicheng Regiment and even the most awesome corporals in China's major war zones were escorted by more than 30 fully armed Sicheng Regiment scouts.
