The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 290

Once this opportunity to make a fortune spreads, there are definitely not a few people who are jealous.

After a few days of fermentation, the incident that the bank in Tan County was robbed by bandits in the hinterland of the Third Army of the North China Security Army spread.

It caused an uproar throughout northern Shanxi.

The forces from all sides lamented the audacity of these bandits, while ridiculing the weakness of the North China security forces, and some even ridiculed the little devils together. There is no way, whoever let the robbery be the bank built by the devils!
The Japanese army continued to put pressure on the commander of the Third Army of the Public Security Army, ordering the puppet troops of the Third Army to catch the bandits as soon as possible and get back the cash.

In the hinterland of the North China Security Army and the surrounding Japanese-occupied areas, the devils taunted to their heart's content.

"Because your security forces are weak and incompetent, the bandits dared to go to your territory to rob banks. And the counties under the jurisdiction of our Imperial Japanese Army will never have such a situation."

On the Yangquan side, Nakahara Takeo, the captain of the Japanese army stationed in Yangquan County, said so.

On the side of the independent regiment, the commando members rested for two or three days in a row. Kong Jie kept his word and rewarded each member with 500 yuan, and also gave the commando two days off.

task:

Take the money and go to Yangquan to spend it, but after arriving at the county seat, don't just focus on eating, drinking and having fun, just take a look at the Japanese and puppet banks in Yangquan County, step on the spot, and investigate the situation.

So it was on the evening of the fifth day when the captain of the Yangquan Japanese army, Nakahara Takeo, vowed that the bandits would never dare to rob the Yangquan Japanese and puppet banks.

Ye Min set off with his team members.

The armed operation to seize the cash flow of the Yangquan Japanese Puppet Bank was launched immediately.

eighth day.

The explosive news spread in all directions.

For three consecutive days, many Japanese and puppet banks in Yangquan were brutally robbed by bandits.

What's more, within one day, three Japanese and puppet banks were robbed at the same time.

The most shocking thing is that the robbery of the Japanese bank in Yangquan is exactly the same as that in Tan County.

Masked bandits, a team of 20 people, come quickly and go even faster.

The devils from the gendarmerie and the puppet soldiers from the garrison assembled their teams from the camps of the gendarmerie and puppet garrison, and took their guns. However, before they got halfway there, the bandits who robbed the bank had already disappeared.

The news was so shocking that the various forces and people in northern Shanxi had not had time to digest it.

Once again, the situation has taken a new turn.

Not long after, the trend of robbing Japanese banks, like a plague, spread in all directions with Tan County as the center.

First Tan County, then Yangquan, then Shouyang, Pingan County, and even Taiyuan City, it is said that they were all robbed once.

Now it's a big joke.

The old faces of the Japanese military officers, who had always boasted of their security and stability, were slapped and slapped.

The Japanese and puppet banks were constantly robbed, and the financial aspect of the Japanese army suffered a lot.

The Japanese army initially built Japanese and puppet banks in the occupied areas. The biggest purpose was to monopolize the finance of the occupied areas and provide a steady stream of financial support for the invading troops.

Now that this pillar is under attack, the little devil can't sit still.

If the major banks continue to lose like this, the devils will even have to allocate funds to make up for the loopholes.

After the order from the Japanese military headquarters, all the garrison forces in the county and the intelligence agencies were dispatched to strengthen the bank's defense work while stepping up the pace to investigate the truth of the bank robbery.

Independence Corps.

station.

The commando team was put on leave again by Kong Jie.

"During this period of time, everyone has carried out armed operations to seize cash flow, and there has been a lot of noise. The devils will definitely strengthen the security forces in various counties, especially the defense and security measures of the banks."

"During this period of time, don't act for the time being, the commando team is entering the repair period."

Kong Jie gave the commando the latest instructions.

Dong San, Minister of the Logistics Department, counted the coins that the commando had robbed the Japanese and puppet banks during this period of time, and rushed to the regiment headquarters to report to Kong Jiehui:
"Leader, now we really don't have to worry about the finances of our independent group. The commando seized nearly 40 yuan in daily tickets and 20 yuan in legal currency in the treasury in Tan County."

"During this period, eight consecutive seizures were made."

"Currently, according to the statistics of the Finance Department, a total of more than 85 yuan of daily tickets and more than 400 yuan of French currency have been seized. In addition, there are other types of paper tickets, totaling more than 35 yuan."

And how much is this money?

For example, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army of the National Revolutionary Army, and the military government promised to pay the Eighth Route Army.

According to the establishment of three divisions and 5 people, the military salary is about 63 yuan per month, including 30 yuan for living expenses, 20 yuan for combat expenses, 5 yuan for subsidies, and 1 yuan for medical subsidies. Rice subsidy subsidy and military depot subsidy 7 yuan
Of course, in fact, this number was reached at the beginning, and this number was basically not reached in the follow-up.

For example, the beginning of the year when the Eighth Route Army had not yet launched a sabotage operation.

The Eighth Route Army can only receive 40 military pay in almost a month.

But in fact, the scale of the Eighth Route Army has already far exceeded the establishment of three divisions. It is not bad if the division can get a military salary of 6 to [-] yuan.

The money is not enough, and each regiment can only raise food funds by itself in the base areas behind the enemy lines.

At the beginning of the year, Kong Jie heard that his division received a total of 10 yuan in military expenses in two months, which was divided evenly, and the military expenses were only [-] yuan a month.

In this regard, the division headquarters also stated that it will save 1 yuan and hand it over to the central government for deployment. The front-line combat troops behind the enemy should try their best to raise food through seizures and self-cultivation to solve the problem of food for the troops.

It is really because the funds are not much, except for the three divisions that need money, the schools and institutions in the rear need money in all aspects.

Calculated in this way, 4 yuan is the military expenditure of Kong Jie's entire division for one month.

The purchasing power of daily tickets is not bad. Although the purchasing power of legal currency has dropped a lot due to rising prices over the years, it is still considerable.

In other words, the independent regiment seized cash flow through the commando armed forces, and the coins seized were enough to pay the entire division's military expenses for more than 30 months.

At this time, this is quite a large sum of money.

Even for the elite Central Army in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the monthly salary of a division is only about [-] yuan.

Thinking of this, Kong Jie nodded after listening to Dong San's report.

"After going back, this matter was carried out in secret. Prepare 20 French currency and 60 daily tickets. Wrap them in sacks and tie them in two layers, and then send them to the regiment headquarters. In addition, we sent ten of the coal stoves that we just made. , pulling two carts with briquettes."

"Yes!" Dong San replied.

Not long after, Dong San arranged for a team from the logistics department to deliver the sacks, briquettes, and coal stoves.

Kong Jie called the monk again, and said, "Monk, remember, the bag contains military expenses for the brigade headquarters. There are 60 daily tickets and 20 French currency in total. You have to hand them over to the brigade commander and political commissar in person." , In addition, these briquette stoves, as well as briquettes, told the brigade commander and political commissar that it was the warmth sent by our independent regiment to the brigade headquarters."

"Oh, by the way, I must tell the brigade commander and the political commissar that the air circulation must be ensured when the coal stove is in use, and the windows or doors must be opened slightly."

"Although the honeycomb burns relatively well, if it is not handled properly, it will still produce some toxic gases."

"Forget it, here are the precautions and methods for using this briquette stove written by me. You can take them to the brigade headquarters together."

"In the future, it can be remodeled, adding a chimney to the coal stove."

"Yes!"

The monk nodded in agreement, took a platoon of the guard company, pulled two carts of briquettes, loaded with ten coal stoves, and added a few bags of paper money, and rushed towards the brigade headquarters.

The money must be handed over to the brigade commander, and then the brigade commander will hand it over to the headquarters. The headquarters needs money more than the independent regiment now.

Kong Jie has also heard about the matter. It has been nearly four months since the last battle of Zhengtai ended.

For nearly four months, the Nationalist Military Government did not pay the Eighth Route Army any more military expenses.

The Eighth Route Army's logistical supply capacity is already poor, with a lack of supplies and equipment, and even less funding.

Otherwise, the team would not be unable to pay the military salary.

The hundreds of thousands of military pay provided by the National Military Government every month, although not much, is one of the important sources of funding for the Eighth Route Army.

As a result, because of the raid not long ago, the funding supply was directly suspended. I heard that the headquarters is helpless now. Kong Jie only hopes that the military expenses sent to the past can be used in an emergency...
