In fact, the money spent by Duanwu to buy two trucks and weapons and equipment was not much. Because at that time, one truck was worth at least 3,000 to 4,000 yuan. Two trucks were worth nearly 8,000 yuan.
In addition to two mortars, fifty rounds of artillery shells, plus one machine gun, twenty rifles, and one hundred grenades, etc., the total adds up to at least fifteen to sixteen thousand yuan.
During the Dragon Boat Festival, he took out four gold bars. But what he took out were small yellow croakers. The price of each piece of small yellow croaker could be equivalent to more than 70 ocean dollars at that time. Four gold bars were only less than 300 ocean dollars.
And the only thing that seemed to be able to pay for the goods was the Japanese military tickets.
But first, the military tickets of these Japanese were all stolen from the Japanese by the Dragon Boat Festival. Returning them to the Japanese is equivalent to buying the Japanese weapons and equipment for free. In other words, Duanwu bought the Japanese weapons and equipment with the Japanese money.
, This wave of Dragon Boat Festival does not suffer at all.
And secondly, the Japanese military ticket was originally a piece of waste paper.
The so-called military ticket is the abbreviation of Japanese military ticket. In vernacular, it is the white note issued by the soldiers.
This kind of military stamps can be traced back to 1904 during the Russo-Japanese War. It is a currency issued by the military as wages to army and navy soldiers.
The difference between it and the Japanese yen, which was on the gold standard at that time, was that the Japanese military hand note could not be exchanged for gold, nor for ordinary yen. It was basically a piece of paper with no credit guarantee and no gold or silver endorsement.
So it is essentially a piece of waste paper and can only be used in the areas occupied by the Japanese.
Of course, it cannot be said that it has no value at all. After all, it can still be used in occupied areas.
That's why Igarashi wasn't tempted when the military coupons were placed on the table. Instead, the gold bars of relatively low value made his eyes shine.
He could only use the military tickets in the occupied territories, but he could take the gold bars back home.
But in other words, Dragon Boat Festival only spent a few hundred yuan to buy a Japanese truck, weapons and equipment, including Japanese military cans presented by Igarashi, brand-new military uniforms, and several medical kits.
However, is Igarashi stupid? Isn't he a businessman? Why does he do business at a loss?
No, he didn't lose at all, because what he sold was only public goods. Neither the truck nor the weapons and equipment belonged to him, they all belonged to the military. As long as he reported the battle damage, there would be no problem at all.
Moreover, he earned more than 13,000 yuan in military coupons and four small yellow croakers for nothing, without any conflict with the Chinese soldiers.
In other words, Igarashi felt that not only had he made money, but he had also earned a life. Otherwise, in his military tent, the other party would have killed him with just one strike.
When watching the truck of Danwu and others leaving, Igarashi sighed: "Yohe, if only Chinese people were so honest, our business would be easier."
But at this time, his fellow villager Ogawara came close and said: "Igarashi-kun, many people know about this matter. If you don't shut their mouths, it will be very troublesome."
Igarashi nodded and said, "Go and tell them that the people from the 21st Brigade left before the telegram was sent. Everyone will share in the benefits."
"Hi!"
Okawara agreed, and then secretly went to each junior officer to explain the matter. They all came from the big boss, and the entire brigade were basically fellow villagers, so when they heard it was beneficial, everyone naturally kept silent.
After more than half an hour, Jun Takeshita led two infantry squadrons and finally arrived at Igarashi's post.
He felt strange when he saw that everyone was in high spirits and there was no trace of fighting in the whole post. He saw the Japanese soldiers on the river bank. He asked them if there was a group of people wearing imperial army uniforms walking by. The other party said they had seen them.
.
Takeshita Shun asked them why they did not stop them, and the other party said: We did not receive an order to intercept the imperial army.
Takeshita Shun's nose almost went out of breath and crooked at that time. The gunshots on the south bank were so loud, are you all deaf?
But the other party said that he didn't hear it, and Takeshita Jun couldn't do anything.
He could only lead his men to continue the pursuit, and the result when they arrived at the outpost was the same as what he saw on the river bank. Every soldier of the empire was very serious, but the Dragon Boat Festival special forces team disappeared.
The guard captain of the division commander Ban Heng asked: "Didn't you see a Chinese special force disguised as the imperial army passing by here?"
The sentry replied: "We didn't see any of the Chinese special forces. We only saw Major Yoshida of the 21st Brigade, pursuing with more than 20 soldiers."
"Baga, that's China's special forces, are you all pigs?"
The guard captain was angry, but what else could he do except get angry at the imperial soldiers who were strict with themselves and meticulous?
Takeshita Jun was also a little angry, and he ordered the sentry to call their commander.
Igarashi and Ogawara appeared at this time, and the two of them ran all the way to Takeshita Shun, and bowed and saluted with a very good attitude.
Takeshita Jun asked: "Didn't you receive the telegram from the headquarters? Why not intercept those Chinese special forces disguised as the imperial army?"
Igarashi bowed again and saluted: "Your Excellency, the telegram arrived a little late. When the telegram arrived, those people had already left."
"Baga, why don't you pursue me?"
The guard captain asked angrily. But Igarashi did not panic, but bowed again and said: "We originally wanted to pursue, but then we thought, we can't catch up, because that Major Yoshida took our truck
Requisitioned."
"Baga, you mean that not only did you not stop anyone, but you also gave the truck to your enemy?"
The captain of the guard was shocked and his eyes were bigger than the eyes of a cow.
But at this time, Igarashi still did not panic and said slowly: "At that time, we didn't know that the other party was the Chinese pretending to be an imperial army. Moreover, the other party was a major. Look, he brought all his documents to me.
Yes, he also said that there are imperial troops behind him, and he asked me to get back the things he borrowed from you. Here is the list."
"puff!"
After the guard captain saw the list, he was so angry that he vomited blood.
Takeshita Jun has always had a good temper, but at this moment he was so angry that he pulled out the list.
He scolded: "Baga, are you all pigs? Not only did you not intercept the enemy, but you also sent the enemy equipment? You can ask for these battle losses from the headquarters. Pigs, a bunch of stupid pigs."
"Hi!"
Igarashi still has a good attitude.
At this time, the guard captain said: "Sir, let's continue the pursuit? We have wasted too much time here."
Takeshita Jun was furious and turned around and asked: "Baga, are you a pig too? The other party drove away in a car, how can we chase him with two legs?"
After scolding the guard captain, Takeshita Jun saw Igarashi standing there poking him, and he walked over angrily.
Igarashi thought to himself: This time, I'm afraid a big mouth will be necessary.
And indeed, Takeshita Shun wanted to slap him. But when he got in front of Igarashi, he stopped again, patted Igarashi on the shoulder and said: "I shouldn't blame you, because you are all the same (
Takeshita Shun refers to the pig). Go get us something to eat."
Igarashi took a long breath and quickly said with a smile: "Sir, please wait a moment, I will ask the cooking team to do it right away."
Takeshita Jun was about to collapse. He held his head with both hands. After a moment, he put his hands down and calmed down again. Then he said slowly: "I need to calm down. You are all the same (still referring to pigs). We don't have time to waste on
As for eating, where’s the instant food? Where’s the instant food used by the empire’s march?”
Igarashi said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Sir, the instant food has been taken away by Major Yoshida."
"Baga Ya Road. I'm really lucky that the Chinese didn't integrate you and then blocked us on the river bank. I thank you, get out! Get out!"
Takeshita Shun completely collapsed. He claimed to be the elite of the empire, but he met a group of pig teammates. Otherwise, that Dragon Boat Festival would not have been able to escape his pursuit! ...
