Cai Dashan would never have thought that the calm-looking young man in front of him was his contact person. The age of the other person made Cai Dashan so dazed that he did not hear the other person's question. "Did you bring the money?"
Liu Shitou, who was a little impatient, repeated what he had just said, and his tone was slightly higher than before. Only then did Cai Dashan come back to his senses.
"Follow me." After carefully counting the ocean brought by Cai Dashan, Liu Shitou raised his right hand and waved it a few times at the trees in the distance, and then led Cai Dashan towards the forest. The two who followed Cai Dashan
A guerrilla tried to persuade him, but Cai Dashan stopped him with his eyes. The money had already been taken away. How could he go back empty-handed? As Cai Dashan guessed, there were several people with guns in the woods.
After just a casual glance, Cai Dashan's eyes tightened, because one of them was holding a Czech-style light machine gun in his hand.
"I've already ordered the money. Here are the things you want. We trade fair and square. If you still want the goods, leave a mark on the stone south of the Dashiqiao." Liu Shitou opened a book.
Several long wooden boxes were exposed among the piles of leaves and weeds. Cai Dashan stepped forward and opened a box, which contained four Japanese-style 38 rifles. "15 rifles and 500 rounds of ammunition are all here. You'd better check them out now."
, once we leave this forest, we will never admit it again."
Cai Dashan and his two guerrillas pulled the bolts one by one to confirm that the rifles were intact. Although there were still blood stains and bullet marks on the rifles, it did not affect their normal use. As for the bullets, Cai Dashan picked them one by one.
He counted the grains carefully. "I know you are not bandits. If my guess is correct, you should be guerrillas or members of the New Fourth Army, right?" Tan Fei, wearing glasses, stood next to Cai Dashan and whispered.
, Cai Dashan was so horrified that his heart was in his throat.
Tan Fei guessed well. Cai Dashan was indeed a guerrilla, but their guerrillas were directly under the command of the New Fourth Army. This time he came to Liuyang to buy weapons and ammunition to provide them to the New Fourth Army. As the Japanese army pressed closer and the National Army deliberately
The space for activities of the New Fourth Army has become increasingly difficult. The most troublesome thing is not to deal with the Japanese attack and the provocation of the National Army, but the lack of weapons and ammunition for the New Fourth Army. Because of this, many guerrillas under the command of the New Fourth Army have too many
Cai Dashan and the others made a special trip to Liuyang to purchase weapons and ammunition.
After Tan Fei revealed his background, Cai Dashan was a little panicked, but he still said that he was a weapon purchased for Mr. Luo of Luoyan Mountain. Since Cai Dashan killed him by biting him to death because he was working for the bandits, Tan Fei just said
He smiled but did not ask further, but Cai Dashan's panic at that moment could not escape Tan Fei's eyes. "I don't care whether you are bandits or guerrillas of the New Fourth Army, as long as you are not Japanese, as long as you have
Money, apart from aircraft, artillery and heavy machine guns, we can get you whatever you want, but of course the price is not cheap."
Tan Fei's words made Cai Dashan subconsciously turn his attention to the Czech light machine gun in Hou San's arms. Cai Dashan was a man who had fought in a war and knew the difference between a machine gun and a rifle. If he was asked to compare between five rifles and one
When faced with a choice between light machine guns, Cai Dashan would choose the light machine gun without hesitation. "This won't work. This is reserved for us to use to fight the Japs, but we can provide the Japanese light machine guns, grenades, and grenades."
, if possible, there might even be mortars." Tan Fei's words made Cai Dashan, who suddenly turned around, almost break his own neck. Grenades and mortars are good things.
"Don't worry about where we got these things from. As long as you can pay for them, we can get them for you. The kid's cowhide military shoes are pretty good. If you are interested, get some of them.
It’s best to climb mountains by flowing water.” Liu Shitou, who had taken inventory of the ocean again, looked like a profiteer. He also wanted to sell those cowhide military shoes full of bloody smell to Cai Dashan. It’s a pity that Cai Dashan and the others bought guns.
All the money was collected, so why would I spend money to buy some impractical cowhide military shoes?
They had been watching Cai Dashan and others as the cart carrying wooden boxes went away. Hou San and the others in the forest returned to Liuyang carrying the pheasants, hares and other things they had brought. Hunting was just an excuse to go out, and the purpose of dumping arms was to
It is a serious crime of decapitation. The less people know about it, the better. Returning to the shelter, Liu Shitou took the money and went to Tangcheng. Hou San and the others took their prey and got together with Ma Fatty to get busy. Everyone was as usual.
There is no difference, so the wounded soldiers in the shelter have no way of knowing what they did when they went out.
Tangcheng and the others were able to keep 20% of the income from the arms dump. If not, Tangcheng would not have allowed Liu Shitou and the others to help dispose of the weapons and ammunition sent back from the front line. This is already the fourth time that Liu Shitou and the others have disposed of weapons in large quantities.
, the weapons sold four times together have more than a hundred rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition. Although there are no powerful weapons such as light machine guns and grenade launchers, as of now, they are just scrapped arms.
The money was enough for Huang Chengzhong and the others to buy medicine.
"The man named Cai is not generous, but he doesn't seem to be a troublemaker. The glasses said that the man named Cai is either a guerrilla or a member of the New Fourth Army. Will we still have contact with the man named Cai in the future?" Liu Shitou didn't know what happened to Tan Feizi.
The temptation to test Cai Dashan was entirely due to Tang Cheng's instructions. It was a serious crime to dump arms. A slight negligence during this period may lead to the death of everyone like him, but selling weapons to the guerrillas or the New Fourth Army did not involve unnecessary troubles, because
The New Fourth Army or the guerrillas will not spread the word all over the world that people from the national army will sell them weapons and ammunition.
"Of course we need to contact you. The New Fourth Army has been squeezed out of space by the Japanese and Nationalist troops. If they want to stay in the two lakes, they must have enough force. The New Fourth Army has no arsenal of its own, and they can only rely on weapons and ammunition.
Seized, these weapons we got are trophies, they will remain in the warehouse until they are turned in. They are all used to fight Japanese enemies, so selling them to the New Fourth Army is nothing. Compared with the bandits, the New Fourth Army is relatively reliable.
At least they won't betray us."
Tang Cheng's words are difficult for Liu Shitou to understand, but this is already decided by Tang Cheng. Liu Shitou only needs to follow it. As long as there is money in the account, Liu Shitou will not care so much. Tang Cheng's side
He was busy getting rid of the firearms and ammunition that he had returned from the front line, but he didn't know that Cai Dashan, who had returned to the guerrilla camp, had already informed the New Fourth Army headquarters of the matter on the radio. The New Fourth Army was also arguing about the matter. Cai Dashan had to follow the New Fourth Army's instructions.
At the request of the headquarters, I personally went to the New Fourth Army station to report on the matter.
"According to the information we have, the people who sold us weapons and ammunition are not black market dealers. They should be the national army in Liuyang. We have inspected those weapons and they are all Japanese-style, and there are still blood stains on the rifles.
There are many wounded soldiers who have been evacuated from Wuchang in Liuyang. We speculate that these weapons should be brought down from the front line by these wounded soldiers. They already doubt our identity, but they say they can provide us with weapons with stronger firepower. As long as they
As long as we are willing to pay." What Cai Dashan said was his own speculation, and until there was no definite information to confirm it, he could only say this.
"The Kuomintang army is not good at fighting, so it is not bad to hide behind and make small moves. If these weapons and ammunition are provided to us for free, we can kill a lot of little devils." The New Fourth Army has always been unwilling to deal with the Kuomintang troops.
The people who sold them weapons and ammunition were probably members of the National Army. Some of the senior officials of the New Fourth Army present here have already cursed. They believed that if the National Army could use these skills to fight the Japanese army, maybe China's current situation would not be like this.
of difficulty.
"Actually, this is not to say that the national army is incompetent. What they sold us were all belonging to the Japanese army. I think these weapons and ammunition were captured by the Japanese army during the battle. If they honestly handed over the trophies, at most they would get a
If there is a commendation or a very small reward, these trophies may be stored in the warehouse by the Kuomintang senior officials to rot, and selling them to us can be regarded as waste."
The New Fourth Army has been debating endlessly around this topic, but Liu Shitou's suggestion that more powerful weapons can be developed has deeply attracted the senior officials of the New Fourth Army. For no other reason than because the New Fourth Army itself lacks powerful weapons. "Captain Cai."
, I still have to leave this matter to you, because you have dealt with them and are already considered familiar faces. We will try our best to raise funds and hand them over to you. The task of your guerrillas in the near future is to purchase the weapons we need.
"The New Fourth Army unified its approach and made Cai Dashan feel relieved. However, a large part of the funds raised by the New Fourth Army were legal tender, which put him in a difficult position.
"You said they only accept oceans and gold bars? What kind of rule is this? Aren't these legal currencies money?" After Cai Dashan relayed Liu Shitou's original words, the New Fourth Army's logistics management couldn't stand it and started making a fuss. The devaluation of legal currencies is no longer news.
, these legal currencies in the hands of the New Fourth Army were all obtained from enemy-occupied areas. Cai Dashan said that the enemy did not accept banknotes, which was life-threatening. Where could the New Fourth Army get so many oceans and gold bars?
"It's not that I won't accept it. These are simply what they said. They think that oceans and gold bars are the same. There's nothing I can do about it." Cai Dashan argued with a bitter face. These are indeed Liu Shitou's original words. They don't accept them.
Paper money is useless even if you take it. Cai Dashan insisted that the other party would not accept paper money. The New Fourth Army had no choice but to use their reserves, but the number of people escorting these gold bars increased from 2 to 8.
