Chapter 52 Site
In Longkou County, the battle has ended, and it is time to count the spoils.
Niu Sigen had already taken the officers and soldiers of the security brigade to go to the Japanese special high school class. Generally speaking, the military police teams and the special high school class in each county in Japan were together, but the military police teams and the special high school class in Longkou were working separately, so Xu Shijiu handed over the errand to Niu Sigen's security brigade, in fact, just to let them make some money.
The officers and soldiers of the brigade fought two consecutive battles in the county town, and the people died. If they were not given some sweetness, it would be absolutely difficult to convince the public and would not be conducive to the gathering of people. After all, the brigade is not a central army, and they cannot even be considered local miscellaneous cards. You cannot have too high expectations for them.
Xu Shijiu brought Gao Shenxing straight to the warehouse of the military police.
Gao Shenxing said as he walked: "Old Xu, I heard that the plainclothes team's station is close to the Japanese special high school class. If you ask Niu Sigen's security brigade to copy the Japanese special high school class, wouldn't you give Niu Sigen the fat piece of plainclothes team to Niu Sigen's mouth? The plainclothes team, which Yan Sanquan, does many evil deeds, probably won't have few possessions.
"The plainclothes team will plunder again. How many assets can they save in less than a year? Besides, the plainclothes team will not be allowed to pay tribute to the Japanese after plundering money. How many can they keep?" Xu Shijiu said disapprovingly, "Also, you can't have too high expectations for Niu Sigen's security brigade. After all, they are not regular soldiers."
"Yes, we really can't ask too much about this group of puppet troops."
"What puppet army? They are now brothers of the 19th Detachment."
"Old Xu, if you really plan to recruit this group of puppet troops, you have to let Monk Hua rectify it well. Don't join them by then. Our 19th Detachment has not been much more powerful, but their reputation has been ruined." Gao Shenxing could still trust Niu Sijian, but Gao Shenxing obviously distrusts his puppet army officers and soldiers in the security brigade.
Not to mention anything else, the performance of the security brigade in the ambush of carp and attacking Longkou County was not very good, especially in the attack of the military police headquarters. The security brigade's characteristics of fear of the enemy and fear of death are fully exposed. To put it bluntly, this is actually a group of veterans. If you are good at everything, it will be easy to kill the enemy.
Xu Shijiu nodded. He was already considering this matter and was preparing to find an opportunity to talk to Niu Sigen.
Xu Shijiu said again: "But we cannot pin all our hopes on these people. We must have our own real troops, otherwise we will suffer a great loss when it is important."
The components of the 19th Detachment are still too mixed. There are veterans of the 19th Detachment, bandits, and Sichuan Army. Now the puppet army has been added. Maybe there will be people from the Military Control Commission in the future. Such a team with extremely complex components will be rectified and trained, and it is impossible to train them into regular troops that are prohibited by orders.
After all, whether it is the bandits, the Sichuan Army or the puppet army, many of their accumulated habits have been developed over the years, and they can't change them even if they want to. They have to force them to change them. Maybe they will force some trouble. Therefore, it's better to recruit some new recruits. New recruits are like blank paper. If you train them well, you can still train an elite soldier.
Gao Shenxing said: "Now the entire Longkou County is our territory, are you still afraid that you can't recruit soldiers?"
"With soldiers, there must be guns. You can't let your brothers fight with the little Japanese without any hand." As they spoke, the two had already walked to a long row of bungalows, which was the warehouse of the Gendarmerie Command. The walls of each warehouse still had the word "ban" left in the Qing Dynasty, and the words "Greater East Asia Prosperity" were painted on the small Japanese. Xu Shijiu said again, "Now I'm pointing at the military supplies in this warehouse. You must not let me down."
The doors of each warehouse are closed tightly, and there are large iron locks on them.
Heixiazi found a big hammer from somewhere, and hit the lock on the door of one of the warehouses and smashed it down. With a bang, the door locked and opened, and then pushed it hard. As soon as the heavy wooden door slowly opened with a harsh "crunch".
When I walked into the warehouse, there were rows of scattered buns inside.
Li Mu pulled out the bayonet and stabbed one of the macao. After another, he stabbed it and opened the macao. The yellow wheat grains flowed out loud. Li Mu turned his head and looked at Xu Shijiu and shouted: "Captain, all of them are wheat, all of them are wheat. Now our food rations are settled, haha."
"Look at your promising prospects, you'll be so happy with a little wheat." Gao Shenxing walked up and slapped Li Mu in the back of his head. He knew that what Xu Shijiu wanted most now was not food. The 19th Detachment now occupied the county town, so he still had to worry about having no food to eat? The 19th Detachment's most shortage is arms.
Sure enough, when he saw the whole room full of wheat, Xu Shijiu went directly to the next room.
Unfortunately, the next warehouse still contains wheat. Ten warehouses have wheat, which is at least one million kilograms. This is unimaginable for a small county like Longkou. I really don’t know how the little Japanese plundered it. I guess even the food of the elders and villagers was plundered.
As the Sino-Japanese War continued to deepen, the front line of Japan grew longer and the number of troops invested was increasing. Correspondingly, the pressure on logistics supply was increasing. In terms of weapons and equipment, even domestic teaching guns were requisitioned, and the pressure on material supply, especially food supply, was greater.
After all, Japan is just a scorpion island country with limited grain output. It is never easy to supply millions of troops to continue fighting in foreign countries.
In fact, since the Battle of Nanjing, the supply of military rations in Japan began to become tense. Yanagawa Heisuke, the commander of the 11th Army, issued a order for each division to collect grain on the spot. Yanagawa Heisuke's verbal order eventually directly led to the burning, killing and looting of Japanese in Beijing and Shanghai.
By the P year of the Republic of China, the grain supply in Japan became increasingly tight, and domestic grain prices had soared by more than ten times.
In order to alleviate the grain shortage, it became inevitable to collect grain from the vast Japanese-occupied area. Longkou County had just completed the collection of summer grain, but it had not had time to transfer it to Chizhou, and it turned out to be cheaper in southern Anhui Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army.
The last warehouse was filled with bacon.
Finally, Xu Shijiu found a small amount of arms in a small hut at the corner of the entire warehouse, but there were only a few hundred Hanyang-made rifles, six or seven Czech light machine guns, and an old ox. In addition to these national-made arms, there was also a small amount of Japanese equipment, but the number was even smaller and there was not enough equipment for a platoon.
Japanese machinery is well maintained, but most of the national arms are already rusted, especially the Maxim, which has a crotch of the sleeve, and a hole is broken. The bolt is also rusted, and most of them have been scrapped. Those Czech light machine guns are not optimistic. Obviously, since the Japanese seized these equipment, they have almost not been maintained.
Li Mu was disappointed and frowned and said, "Those are just fragments?"
"Yes, it's better than not?" Gao Shenxing patted Li Mu on the shoulder and comforted him, "Besides, we are guarding such a large territory in Longkou County, and we need people and people, and we have money, but we are afraid of not getting weapons and equipment? Look, at most, we will have all the equipment in half a year."
Gao Shenxing's words are really nonsense. The Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing and the Battle of Wuhan were defeated all the way. I don't know how much equipment, how many ammunition and weapons were left behind in the enemy's back. Most of these weapons and equipment flowed into the hands of bandits, horse thieves or armed forces from various associations. Isn't there any bandits in Longkou County changing their clothes?
For example, Heilong Village, Qinglong Village and Tian Laoqi's Toad Village, the equipment is really good.
After capturing the county town, the reputation of the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation Army in southern Anhui was established, and the situation was opened up. Next, it was time to punish all bandits and the armed forces of the Huidao Sect in Longkou. As long as the 19th Detachment could destroy Yu Jing in Longkou, the seized weapons and equipment might be equipped with one division.
