Anti-Japanese War: Starting from Yaobai

Chapter 2826: Thirty thousand oceans arrived, the Anti-Japanese Brigade was overjoyed!

12 o'clock at night, at the Anti-Japanese Brigade’s headquarters.

Ma Ping'an and other team members had been waiting at the camp gate for a long time. When they saw Duanwu and Zhao Laonian returning, they surrounded them.

Ma Pingan asked anxiously: "Captain, how are those antiques selling?"

Duanwu smiled slightly, threw a heavy bag from his back, and put it on the ground with a dull "clang" sound.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Laonian also put down the sack on his shoulder, which was also full of dollars.

The team members were all stunned when they saw this. Ma Pingan couldn't wait to squat down, open the bag, reach out and grab a handful of dollars, his eyes full of surprise: "This... How much is this?"

Duanwu replied: "More than 30,000 yuan should be enough for our military pay for several months."

"More than 30,000 yuan!"

Long Qianyan, Ma Shanpao and others exclaimed, their faces filled with excitement and joy.

Ma Pingan was so excited that his hands were shaking. He stood up and said with emotion: "Captain, your presence is really amazing. Thirty thousand dollars, this is too unexpected."

Ma Shanpao also echoed: "With this money, we will not only not have to worry about the military pay this month, but also will not have a problem buying Soviet weapons and ammunition."

However, at this moment, Zhao Laonian said: "These are nothing, the big deal is still to come. In a week, all the antiques we have can be sold. Hehe!"

After hearing what Zhao Laonian said, the crowd who were originally immersed in the joy of 30,000 oceans suddenly quieted down, but then, a burst of exclamations even louder than before broke out at the entrance of the camp.

Long Qianyan's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide enough to fit a fist, and he stammered, "What,...what? Zhao Laonian, you,...are you kidding me? This is just a small business, the big business is still to come?"

Ma Shanpao even shouted loudly: "Oh my God! Thirty thousand dollars is nothing, what a huge deal it will be! Our Anti-Japanese Brigade is going to return to its heyday!"

The Anti-Japanese Brigade was really rich before, but it was a little stretched now because it had purchased a large amount of Soviet weapons.

Moreover, 30,000 yuan is enough to get the Anti-Japanese Brigade out of its predicament. If they have another 30,000, 40,000, 50,000, 60,000, or even 70,000 or 80,000 yuan, then the Anti-Japanese Brigade will return to its former state and will no longer have to worry about money.

Of course, this is assuming that the Anti-Japanese Brigade no longer purchases new weapons and equipment and ammunition supplies.

At this moment, Ma Ping'an, like Long Qianyan and Ma Shanpao, had an expression on his face that gradually changed from surprise to shock. He was stunned for a long while before he started laughing.

"hehe!"

Duanwu folded his hands in front of his chest, his mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a confident smile: "Laonian is right. This time we are just tentatively selling a batch of antiques, and there are still many more valuable treasures that have not been moved. After a week, when the time is right, we will sell the remaining antiques. By then, we don't have to worry about money for the time being."

"Haha, hahaha!"

Everyone's face was filled with excitement and joy. It was as if they had seen the scene of the anti-Japanese brigade, with the support of sufficient supplies, beating the Japanese devils into a pulp. However, at this moment, Duanwu poured a bucket of cold water on them to cool them down: "Although we have money now, we can't take it lightly. This time when I went out, I also heard a piece of news that the Japanese second division may be coming back, and it seems to be coming for us."

Ma Pingan's face changed when he heard this: "The Second Division? That's the devil's elite force! It seems that we have to prepare in advance."

Long Qianyan, Ma Shanpao, Ma Hu and others also stopped smiling because of this.

Because the Anti-Japanese Battalion had just experienced a great battle, the entire battalion lost more than a thousand people, and there were three or four hundred wounded. The troops had not had time to rest and had to deal with the elite division of the Japanese army. This was probably not good news.

Seeing this, Duanwu laughed and said, "Don't panic! The Second Division hasn't come back yet. Even if they come back, they need to rest. So they can't launch an attack on the anti-Japanese brigade in a short time. So we still have time to prepare!"

Long Qianyan echoed: "Yes, yes! The captain is right. No matter how powerful the Japanese Second Division is, it is impossible for them to fight immediately after a long journey."

Everyone nodded, and at this time, Duanwu said: "However, we can't just wait for the Japanese Second Division to come, we have to make some preparations in advance. First of all, the placement of the wounded must be implemented quickly. We can't let them get injured on the battlefield and suffer again when they come back."

Ma Ping'an nodded in agreement: "The captain is right. The wounded must be healed. Our team cannot do without these old brothers. I think we should arrange for them to stay in the dozens of wooden houses behind the base. It's relatively quiet there and suitable for recuperation."

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Duanwu nodded in agreement and turned to Long Qianyan: "Long Qianyan, you are responsible for the training of company and platoon officers. It is best to pick out a few who can take charge of their own affairs. Don't let them leave the command and not know how to fight on their own."

Long Qianyan accepted the order: "Yes, Captain!"

Duanwu nodded again, and then said to Ma Pingan:

"Old Pan, there is also the distribution of our weapons and ammunition. This is also the focus of our next work. First, we need to count the weapons and equipment of the entire anti-Japanese brigade, as well as the ammunition they carry.

Then we will distribute the ammunition and spare weapons and equipment from the warehouse to each squadron. We need to manage the weapons and ammunition separately now, so that once the war starts, everyone will rush to the logistics department to ask for weapons and ammunition.

Although we have money now, we can't spend it recklessly. We have to spend every penny wisely, and especially the nutrition of the wounded must be taken care of. Of course, the nutrition of the soldiers can't be bad either. Let everyone eat meat at least once a week, so that they can withstand the high-intensity training."

Ma Pingan replied: "Yes, I will start doing this tomorrow."

However, at this time, Ma Shanpao interrupted and said, "Captain, don't worry about our Chunjiang Second Team. I have clearly distributed the weapons and ammunition, and every soldier will have enough ammunition."

Duanwu nodded with satisfaction, then took out a list from his bosom and handed it to Ma Ping'an: "This is the detailed account of the antique sale this time. Please register it. Tomorrow, give this account and the remaining money from the military pay to Ninth Girl and Wan Shanhong for safekeeping. Women are good at managing money!"

"Captain, don't worry, I will definitely distribute the military pay to every soldier."

Ma Pingan nodded heavily. Although this was not his job, as the deputy captain of the Anti-Japanese Brigade, even if he was injured, he had to do something for the Anti-Japanese Brigade.

And he also knew that originally these tasks were Tang Jiujiu's. And the reason why this task was given to him now was probably because the captain took special care of him as the deputy captain, fearing that he would have nothing to do.

So at this moment, Ma Pingan was very moved and really wished that his injuries could heal quickly!
