Chapter 450: Overt and covert fighting, military pay and supplies
Mid-December, smooth.
It had been two days since Zhou Weihan returned from Luoyang. In addition to the people from the Political Training Department, there was also a 120-person military police company following Zhou Weihan back.
This military police company is directly commanded by Wen Qi and is responsible for maintaining the military discipline of the 94th Division.
In the few days after returning, Zhou Weihan did not rush to form the Ninety-Fourth Division as Wen Hao expected, but instead inspected the frontline positions of the Second Regiment as if nothing had happened.
In the early days, Wen Yu could still maintain his composure, and the entire staff of the Political Training Department seemed to be very peaceful, including the military police company, who were holding their breath in the compound prepared by Zhou Weihan.
Now Wen Yu went directly to Zhou Weihan: "Master, the Military Commission has approved the reconstruction of the 94th Division, but why has there been no movement so far?"
"Director Wen, please be patient. The Ninety-Fourth Division can be rebuilt with just one sentence. The soldiers were originally from the Eighth Route Army, but now they have turned around and become the Ninety-fourth Division. I have to let people do their job."
Do your ideological work, otherwise it will be easy to cause trouble!"
"Also, our ancestors said it well, if a soldier wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his weapons. The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers!" Zhou Weihan glanced at Wen Hao and said.
"Actually, if you want to quickly rebuild the 94th Division, there is another good way. It is to provide enough food and pay. Once the military pay and supplies have arrived, how can the soldiers still be reluctant when they see it? What do you think, Director Wen!"
After hearing this, Wen Yu secretly cursed in his heart, feeling full of bad intentions.
Originally, Wen Wenqi wanted to take advantage of military pay and supplies to take advantage of Zhou Weihan, but to his surprise, Zhou Weihan did not fall for the trick at all.
Anyway, we have obtained the establishment of the Ninety-Fourth Division, but if we don’t spit out some real guys, how can that be done?
"Hehe, this is easy to handle!" Wen Rong laughed dryly: "Isn't it just military pay and supplies? I am applying with Shangfeng. It will arrive in a few days. I will personally distribute it to the brothers then!"
"That's ok, I'll ask the people below to prepare quickly and wait for this batch of military pay supplies!" Zhou Weihan nodded and said: "By the way, Director Wen, let the brothers from the Political Training Department go out for a walk and stay in the yard all day.
Come on, don’t hold it in until you get sick!”
After hearing this, Wen Yu had a smile on his face, but when he left the door, his face turned cold. He went back to the political training office and called a confidant.
"Take your people and go to Changzhi and bring back the general's pay and supplies!"
"Director, didn't you say you would delay it before? Why...?"
Before his subordinates could finish speaking, Wen Hao, who had just been holding back his anger at Zhou Weihan, immediately became angry: "Go if you are told, no need to waste words!"
Seeing this, his subordinates responded quickly.
In fact, according to the previous practice of the Eighth Route Army, military pay had to be collected from the Ministry of Military Affairs in mountain towns, and material supplies had to be collected from World War II zones.
The 94th Division is a special case. It is organized under the 18th Group Army, but the Eighth Route Army's military supplies have long been stopped.
Therefore, on the occasion of parting, Qian Dajun specifically ordered that the 94th Division's military pay and supplies be distributed on behalf of the First War Zone, and the first batch of military pay and supplies was sent by Fan Hanjie first.
Fan Hanjie did not expect at the time that he simply attended a banquet and ended up having to advance the military pay and supplies of the 94th Division.
After all, Pingshun was the territory of the Eighth Route Army. How could every move of Wen Hao and others be hidden from Zhou Weihan's eyes.
"Chief, the comrade responsible for keeping an eye on the Political Training Department reported that a man came out of the courtyard of the Political Training Department not long ago and went directly in the direction of Changzhi!" Monk Hui reported.
"Haha, the action is quite fast. It seems that we still need to put some pressure on him! Have the people sent by the Political Training Office to Lin County come back?"
"not yet!"
Fan Hanjie was happy and directly transferred a large number of civilians from Changzhi, and the military police escorted them to Pingshun with military pay and supplies.
Outside Pingshun City, Zhou Weihan looked at the supply list in his hand and grinned: "Oh, Director Wen, since the military pay was stopped, our Eighth Route Army has to raise everything by itself. We are so poor, how have we ever seen such a big scene?
!”
"Master, this is three months of military pay and supplies. Shangfeng still supports our Ninety-Fourth Division!" Wen Hao deliberately emphasized the word "Ninety-Fourth Division", obviously to remind Zhou Weihan.
.
The list clearly states that military pay and rice support have been increased to 400,000 yuan (including regular expenses of 300,000 yuan, combat expenses of 60,000 yuan, medical subsidies of 10,000 yuan, and rice support and depot subsidies of 30,000 yuan). There are seven ammunition.
There are 300,000 rounds of nine-step ammunition, 100,000 rounds of 79-type machine ammunition, 60,000 rounds of shelled rifle ammunition, 15,000 rounds of hand grenades, and 600 rounds of mortar shells.
1,600 bags of rice and white flour, and provide almost all military blankets, military uniforms, cotton-padded clothes, steel helmets, dry food bags, gas masks, etc., as well as military equipment, explosive equipment, communication equipment, and sanitary equipment.
In order to win over Zhou Weihan, Jiang was very generous this time and allocated three months of military pay and supplies at once.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, military pay was issued in the name of national calamity, and officers' pay was reduced by about half.
Zhou Weihan's military salary was 160 yuan, and the salary of ordinary soldiers was reduced by three yuan, and now it is about 7 yuan.
"Xu Dali, here we are, don't be stunned, hurry up and accept it!" Zhou Weihan winked at Xu Dali.
"Yes!" Xu Dali responded.
The soldiers of the Second Regiment had been notified long ago, and then the soldiers greeted the civilians in charge of transportation.
When Wen Yu saw this situation, he suddenly became anxious: "Master, this is the salary and supplies of the 94th Division!"
"Director Wen, you are the director of the Political Training Department. You must be careful with your words and not chill the hearts of the soldiers!"
"Look at the soldiers present who are not soldiers of the 94th Division. I also want to make it clear that the 94th Division belongs to the 18th Group Army's battle order and is also the Eighth Route Army!" Zhou Weihan said one after another.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wen Yu was considered a scholar and a soldier at this time. He couldn't explain clearly. How dare he make trouble in Zhou Weihan's territory?
Watching the transportation team of the Second Regiment gradually enter the city, he couldn't help but said: "Master, it's true that the 94th Division belongs to the Eighth Route Army, but this batch of military pay and materials must be used for all the officers and soldiers of the 94th Division!"
"Director Wen, don't worry, this batch of materials will be stored in a separate warehouse. By the way, I will assign you a task. You must do a good job in supervision. There must be no deprivation of military pay or personal enrichment in the ranks of our 94th Division.
Then Zhou Weihan's face straightened: "This is the responsibility of your Political Training Office, do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand!" Wen Yu said through gritted teeth, secretly cursing Zhou Weihan for being a smiling tiger.
When everything is fine, you are good to me and I still remember the friendship from the past, but if there is any movement, I will not be soft at all.
Originally Wen Ji wanted to use the opportunity of distributing military pay to win over a group of officers and soldiers, but now the power of disbursement was suddenly in the hands of Zhou Weihan, and it was impossible to get it back.
