The fifth day when the independent regiment was stationed in Niukou Village.
The purchase of copper coins is still going on, but the villagers have almost used up all the copper coins on hand, so the purchase of copper coins in the next few days is much slower than the previous days.
The common people didn't think much about it. Once the copper coins changed hands, they would get more than ten times more money. So what else could they say? There was no money left in the village, so they just went to the county to find a solution!
So as time went by, the news that someone purchased copper coins at ten times the price gradually spread to some surrounding enemy-occupied counties.
Although the people are simple, they are also full of wisdom.
It is easy to understand why middlemen earn the price difference.
The smart people quickly thought of a way to get rich. They rushed to the county to buy the copper coins from the people in the county at five times the price, then returned to the village and resold them to the independent group at ten times the price.
This time you can earn five times the price difference.
Isn't this pie in the sky?
Kong Jie, who learned about this situation, smiled nonchalantly and just told the people to keep the matter secret and try not to let the people in the county know that these copper coins were purchased by the Eighth Route Army.
Therefore, the people in the enemy-occupied counties only knew that someone was buying copper coins, but they didn't know who was buying them.
Tong Yuan in the county town quietly gathered towards the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army in Niukou Village.
Originally, the independent group's acquisition of copper coins basically had no fluctuations in speed, but suddenly it became faster again.
Kong Jie was very happy about this, but Dong San, who was in charge of this matter, had a sad face.
"Captain, the number of copper coins that the villagers have collected from the county town is increasing, and most of them come for daily tickets.
After all, the Japanese and puppet troops would not control the people too strictly when entering and exiting the county. Most of them would just conduct routine searches and let them in without weapons.
Daily tickets are also convenient to spend in enemy-occupied counties and towns, unlike copper coins and French currency, which are directly banned by the Japanese.
But if this continues, our daily passes will not be enough. I even thought about compressing the exchange price of daily passes, such as exchanging them at ten times or nine or eight times the price. "
Kong Jie said: "You must not do this. It is difficult to establish the credibility of our independent group, but it is very easy to destroy it."
"Just because of these three people, they ruined the credibility of our independent group. This is a loss-making business, and we can't do it."
"At the beginning, we agreed on the exchange price of daily tickets and copper plates. It must be that much. It can only be more but not less. You kid, take a long-term view. We don't have to feel bad about spending the kid's money."
"Captain, you are not worried. You don't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. The daily tickets are money in the hands of the people, and they are also money in our hands. Seeing that it is decreasing day by day, there will not be enough anymore. We don't save money. Can it be done with some flowers?" Dong San said depressedly.
"Don't worry, if we persist for three days at most, we will have money again." Kong Jie said.
"Really! Captain, I feel relieved when you say that."
Dong San turned around and left without saying a word, and continued to prepare for the copper coins. As for the exchange price of daily tickets and copper coins, it still maintained the previous twelve times standard.
Regiment Headquarters.
"Monk, monk."
"Here, Commander, are you looking for me?" Monk Wei entered the room and asked.
Kong Jie said: "Get ready, gather the guard company, there will be a military operation around ten o'clock in the morning."
"Captain, are you going to fight the Japanese?" Monk Wei's eyes lit up immediately. Since arriving at the station, he has never fought against the Japanese and puppet troops.
Kong Jie said: "Suppress the bandits."
Monk: "Suppressing bandits?"
Kong Jie said: "The regiment has been spending money to exchange for copper coins. It seems that the money is not enough. Tell me, what can you do to get money faster than going up to the mountain to suppress bandits? Then a group of bandits in Heiyun Village are in the dark." Yunfeng has been entrenched for some years, and we should have a lot of savings on hand, so we just borrowed it from Huahua."
The monk said happily: "So that's it, captain, just take a look, these few thieves and bandits are easy to deal with."
Kong Jie cursed in his heart, easy to deal with? You kid just don’t know that according to the script, your monk fell into the hands of bandits.
"The bandits in Heiyun Village have been entrenched in Heiyun Fengshang for so many years and have never been cleaned up. One of the reasons is that around Heiyun Peak, the Eighth Route Army, Japanese Army, Puppet Army, Jinsui Army and other forces are complex, which just creates a balanced situation. , this Black Cloud Peak has become a no-nonsense zone.
In addition, this group of bandits is familiar with the topography of Heiyun Peak, and the topography of Heiyun Peak is very complicated. It takes a lot of effort to go up the mountain to suppress the bandits, so no one has to go to the mountain to eliminate this group of bandits.
But the Japanese and puppet troops and the Jinsui Army didn't care. We, the Independent Group, couldn't ignore it. The people of Niukou Village said that this group of bandits was very rampant. Sometimes they got desperate and even went down the mountain to rob the villagers. "
"I don't care if these stupid bandits rob the Japanese or the puppet troops. I even respect them as heroes. I don't care if they rob the Jinsui Army. I can't do it."
"But if you dare to touch our common people, even if they are not common people in our defense area, our independent group will kill him!"
"Yes, don't worry, Commander, I will destroy this Black Cloud Village for you!" The monk responded. He had no compassion for the bandits who harmed the people, as he did a monk.
Kong Jie warned: "Don't be careless. The equipment of this group of bandits may not be very good, but it is not without reason that they have been able to stay on the Black Cloud Peak for so many years.
As for the commando team, I have sent them to conduct reconnaissance at Heiyun Peak for several days in advance. In addition, there are hunters who are familiar with the Heiyun Peak area to lead the way. This time, your guard company will cooperate with the commando team and help me capture Heiyun Village in one fell swoop. . "
"yes!"
"I have already told Ye Min that there is no need to bring heavy machine guns. It would be troublesome and laborious to bring a few more grenade launchers.
Traveling lightly and lightly, they left quickly and came back quickly, and the surrounding Japanese and puppet troops and the Shanxi-Sui Army forces had no time to react.
After secretly reaching the vicinity of Heiyun Village, as it was close to noon, the bandits in the village gathered together and surrounded me in Heiyun Village. They directly used grenades to bombard me at Heiyun Village for a while.
Then tell Xie Baoqing that our independent group is here. If this bandit knows his character and surrenders directly, it is best for us to kill him without any blood. If he doesn't know his character, I will blow up his Heiyun Village directly. "
"yes!"
"After the Heiyun Village is breached, give me a clear cross-examination. Anyone who has touched the lives of innocent people on their hands will be shot on the spot. Those who have robbed the people will be spared their lives and be brought back to the base to do hard work. They will be punished and meritorious service."
Having said this, Kong Jie paused and said with a smile: "The rest is a matter of seizure. Take away all the wealth that the bandits have accumulated over the years, whether it is guns, ammunition or stored coins. Before leaving, let the bandits We burned Heiyun Village with our own hands, which can be regarded as putting an end to their thoughts, except for this cancer among the people."
"yes!"
…
It's twelve o'clock sharp in the morning.
Suddenly there was a burst of gunfire in the hinterland of Black Cloud Peak.
Seeing the heavily armed Eighth Route Army surrounding the village, and the dozens of grenade launchers lined up at the entrance of the village, Xie Baoqing, the head of Heiyun Village, was so frightened that his legs were shaking.
Bandits are those who bully the weak and fear the strong. How could these bandits, who usually bully ordinary people, have ever seen such a battle?
The monk immediately shouted, "Listen up, bandits in Heiyun Village, we are a team of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. You should recognize the grenade at the entrance of the village. I'll give you a count of ten." If you don't surrender within this time, I will blow up your stronghold and no one will survive."
With that said, the monk started the countdown.
"ten."
"Nine."
…
…
Hearing that the people outside the village were the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, Xie Baoqing's legs trembled even more.
During this period, most of the news Xie Baoqing heard about the Eighth Route Army was related to the Eighth Route Army Independent Regiment.
Knock out the Sakata Regiment headquarters with one shot and defeat the Sakata Regiment head-on.
The cavalry company made a surprise attack on Qu County.
Two weeks ago, I heard that Captain Kong of the independent regiment led the independent regiment directly into the home of the North China Security Army, robbed the North China Security Army's arsenal and hospital, and then rushed out all the way. There was no trace of the enemy. The puppet troops were able to stop him for a moment.
This is such a prestigious name that even a kid would be scared to hear it, let alone a bunch of bandits.
The second boss, Shanmao Zitong, swallowed his saliva. The usual fierceness and toughness on his face had long since disappeared, leaving only fear and timidity. "Brother, what should I do?"
A bandit leader with a thick head in the back shouted: "First boss, second boss, the Eighth Route Army has already reached us, how about we fight with the Eighth Route Army?"
Xie Baoqing scolded with a black face: "Fight? How many lives do you have to fight for? Didn't you see the artillery outside the village? The few rounds of shells just blew up our village gate, and that was a show of power to us. If we If we don’t know what we are doing, the shells will probably be directed at us next.”
"Brother, what should we do?"
"Nonsense, the only option is to surrender. You might as well survive."
As Xie Baoqing was talking, the monk's loud voice came in again from outside the village:
"three."
"two."
…
"Surrender, surrender, Eighth Route Officer, you don't need to count, we surrender!" Xie Baoqing shouted quickly, and asked his minions to raise the white flag...
