Jiazhuang, the residence of Dragon Boat Festival.
"Leader, that Li Yunlong took our money instead of buying food. Instead, he used it to recruit soldiers. This person is too shameless. He is thick-skinned and will cheat and deceive whenever he can. No, I have to go and deal with it. I want my money back.”
The old abacus reported to Duanwu, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he immediately wanted to get the money back.
Duanwu smiled and said: "Come on, Lao Baanpan, sit down first and I'll tell you."
"Yes, Danzao!"
After the old abacus responded, he sat down.
Duanwu said at this time: "I know that Li Yunlong loves petty gains. Just like you said, he is greedy and takes advantage of everything he can.
But why? Because his Eighth Route Army was poor. You may not know about the Eighth Route Army, but Lao Ma and I have talked a lot together. Many of the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army were not properly dressed.
The leaders all wear patched clothes. You said that in this situation, how could he, Li Yunlong, not be greedy for petty gains, raise a team capable of fighting? "
"But he can't take advantage of us, right? We have nothing to do with him?"
Old Abacus was still very angry, after all, it was 20,000 yuan.
Although the supervision team is indeed not short of 20,000 yuan, it can't just be wasted, right?
So today he has to get the money back no matter what.
But at this moment, Duanwu smiled again and said: "Old Abacus, your ideas are all right, but you have to admit one thing, the Eighth Route Army has a better mass base than our army. And if you want to buy food, Li Yunlong's There will be many more ways than we can.
And do you think Li Yunlong himself has no money? He is rich, and he just let it slip when we were drinking. "
Old Abacus was surprised: "Then he still wants our money?"
Duanwu said: "He wants our money to buy us food, but he will squeeze out some for himself. He is like a middleman, making us a price difference. Do you understand this time?"
The old abacus asked, "Then if we buy it ourselves, wouldn't he be able to make the difference?"
Duanwu smiled and said: "Old Abacus, if you want to buy a needle, do you have to go to the factory to buy it yourself? If you want to eat noodles, do you have to go to the wheat field to buy wheat and grind it yourself?"
"oh oh!"
Old Abacus suddenly realized, but he said: "Then I have to go to his place and watch him."
Duanwu said: "What are you looking at? You still have a lot to do. You haven't given a statistical report on the injured until now. We don't have enough medicines. You haven't communicated with the health team. There are also reports from each battalion. The situation of weapons and ammunition, you need to do all this. We can't wait until there is a war to allocate ammunition, otherwise it will be too late.
Also, you need to tally up the accounts of our supervision team. I need to know how much money we have left.
You also need to purchase some other daily necessities. Let’s just buy the most common ones. You can’t let the soldiers do it with their hands, right? "
"Yeah, I almost forgot about this. I'm going to think of a way."
Lao Abacus suddenly realized it and hurriedly said goodbye and left. Because as Duanwu said, he does have a lot of work, so how can he have time to look at Li Yunlong?
"Do you really trust that Li Yunlong?"
At this moment, Tang Jiujiu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke. Because he felt that the Dragon Boat Festival was too good for the Eighth Route Army. What his uncle hated most was the Eighth Route Army and the underground party.
So from the bottom of his heart, Tang Jiujiu didn't like that Duanwu and the Eighth Route Army were too close to the underground party. Although they were both good people and they also helped the supervision team a lot. But she always felt that Dragon Boat Festival should not get too close to them.
Duanwu naturally knew it very well, so he smiled and said: "Where are we now? In the belly of the enemy. Here, as long as he is Chinese and he is not a traitor, we must work hard to win the other party to become our friend. "
"oh oh!"
Tang Jiujiu nodded frequently, feeling that what Duanwu said made sense. Moreover, she also felt that women should not interfere too much in men's matters.
Her mother once warned her that men are responsible for doing big things, and women only need to watch from the side and interrupt less.
So following his mother's teachings, Tang Jiujiu just asked and said nothing more.
Duanwu smiled, but what he was thinking about was, if one day he joins the Eighth Route Army, what will this little woman do?
Of course, it's too early to think about this now. He still had to deal with the little devil first.
The fighting on the front line had stopped, and he felt that the Japs would launch an operation against him.
But he currently has too little information, and he doesn't know the specific movements of the little devil.
Because there are little devils mobilizing troops everywhere, and some underground parties are even unable to figure out where the little devils are going to mobilize their troops.
So at this time, Ma Ping'an gave a lot of information, but in fact there was not much valuable information.
Duanwu felt that he could no longer be so passive, and he wanted to send scouts to investigate everywhere.
There are two purposes for this investigation. One is to detect the movements of the little Japs, and the other is to find a good escape route for the supervision team.
In Mount Tai, there are high mountains, dense forests, and cliffs. Once you take the wrong path during evacuation, the consequences will be disastrous.
So this time, the Dragon Boat Festival will send several reconnaissance teams eastward to check out the terrain inside the mountain.
And there is another thing that we must pay close attention to during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is training new recruits.
While in Feicheng and Pingyin County, Dragon Boat Festival temporarily recruited more than 1,100 new soldiers. Except for some experienced people, such as those who had shot guns and practiced martial arts, who were temporarily asked to leave by each battalion, the remaining nearly 800 people were all in the supply camp.
But it's not a problem to always put the new recruits' camp in the supply camp. After all, these people are recruited to go to the battlefield.
And this is why Li Yunlong didn't pay much attention to Duanwu when he recruited new soldiers in the village. Because they already have a lot of new recruits.
History has proven that the number of recruits in each unit cannot exceed one-fifth of the total, otherwise the combat effectiveness of the unit will be seriously affected.
Some troops even added a third of new recruits, and the overall combat level of the troops was suddenly lowered by 50%.
Because the recruits have no combat experience, the error tolerance rate on the battlefield is too high. Therefore, the more soldiers the better, but the number of new recruits must be controlled and controlled.
Of course, if there is no war, that is a different matter. The boot camp is not training new recruits. Could it be that they are veterans?
But this time it is different, because there may be a war at any time, and these more than a thousand recruits may not be fully trained, so how can they recruit troops on a large scale?
And this is why Dragon Boat Festival gave up the opportunity to recruit troops in Jiazhuang to Li Yunlong.
Of course, if someone volunteers to join the supervision team, he will not refuse. But he will never recruit troops like Li Yunlong in a big way!
