Chapter 315

Since the Japanese invaded North China, the production and transactions of the masses have been seriously affected. The puppet army traitors and the Japanese army jointly exploited the working people in the lowest class of society, causing the lives of the people in central Hebei, which is known as the granary in North China, to be in a difficult situation. Life such as salt, sugar, sauce, vinegar, medicine, cloth, etc. must be affected by the Japanese army's cage policy and commercial exchanges are blocked, which has brought a serious blow to Hebei, which is mainly self-sufficient small peasant economy.

The establishment of the 11th Division in Hebei Central saved the unfavorable situation of the base being swallowed by the Japanese army after the May Day sweep. It opened up a new base in the already compressed cage policy control area. The tough fighting style of the 12th District Team quietly robbed a stronghold in one night, and even fought against enemies several times more than themselves, which made the Japanese and puppet troops, who were strong outside and worked in the middle, frightened. In addition, the amphibious battle between the Yanling Team of Baiyangdian, the base area centered on Shijing Village has become a forbidden area for the Japanese and puppet troops. The troops with less than two brigades dare not approach the vicinity of Shijing Village, making the trade market in Shijing Village a material exchange place that is dependent on by the surrounding villages.

On February 15th, the 11th day of the lunar year, the large market for February was welcomed on the gravel drying yard outside Shijing Village. In order to ensure the exchange of spring farming materials in central Hebei and improve the production efficiency of spring farming, the 12th District Team issued a mobilization order two days ago. The reconnaissance and intelligence network once again pushed the surrounding area for fifty miles, controlling all Japanese and puppet military strongholds in the area, unobediently, and first gave a warning, and then suppressed a few hard-core old traitors to ensure the completion of normal material trade in the market.

Since the May Day sweep in 1942, the anti-Japanese armed forces in various base areas have become increasingly sloppy and have more and more methods. After the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops retreated, the Japanese and puppet troops in the strongholds in various places have become much more honest.

At the end of 1942, the entire base area spread that Renqiu County was almost defeated by the Eighth Route Army, and there were rumors that the dragon roar appeared in Baiyangdian. The Japanese and puppet troops in central Hebei were scared to death and their faces were green. The combat effectiveness of the Japanese and puppet troops stationed in various strongholds was mostly mixed brigades that could not even be taken by the B division. They bullied the common people and had to struggle with militia and bandits. However, if they encountered a large number of regular Eighth Route Army main force or the legendary peerless evil spirit who knocked down three thousand elite Japanese troops with a roar, 80% of them would not even be left.

Wang Bao, who had held several market experiences, prepared sufficient work for the market before the spring plowing. Through early deterrence, the Japanese and puppet troops near Shijing Village were all calmly and huddled in the stronghold.

The head of the third platoon is responsible for leading the militia to set up checkpoints on various traffic roads near the base area of ​​the 12th District Team, and carefully check the entry-level personnel to prevent enemy personnel from entering and interfering with market transactions.

Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year in February, rows of temporary row houses, warehouses and trading shops have been set up next to the guji field. The affiliated militia team of the 12th District Team maintained order. Vendors who arrived in advance from more than 200 miles away entered the market trading area early, randomly selected the shop numbers, and moved into the temporary row house to wait for the three-day market trade.

On February 14th, the surrounding area of ​​Shijing Village began to become a crowded gathering place. Both local and Eighth Route Army attached great importance to this market material exchange.

The neighing of cattle, horses, chickens and animals, the buzzing voices, various small department stores, rice, flour, grain, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, etc., fill the entire market. A fair scale is set up at the end of each row of shops to prevent vendors from being short of weight. There are personal stalls scattered outside the regular market trading area, and ordinary people exchange their own goods for other things to supplement their household expenses. Although the 12th District Team is good at leading troops to fight, there are reference experiences provided by Li Wei in modern times that he has almost been familiar with the small commodity trading market, and coordinated management.

The condolence propaganda team members from the Kuomintang-controlled area took this opportunity to observe a rare large-scale spontaneous trading activity in central Hebei, which is no less inferior to the big rear. However, during the transaction process, there are very few transactions with silver dollars and money, mostly bartering, and grain has become a hard currency in the market, and the loss and profit are only based on the degree of demand of both parties.

Taking advantage of the slack season of the farming period, the hoes, sickles, iron pots, shovels and other daily necessities organized by Shijing Village Arsenal have become popular in the market. Military-grade products are lightweight and durable steel, with good quality and low price. Whether wholesale or retail, the saved inventory is almost sold out, making the 12th District Team make a big profit.

In addition to the products produced and sold by itself in the base area, there are also a considerable number of foreign goods, such as ginseng from Changbai Mountain, which swept away the Japanese officer certificates, combat souvenirs, canned meats of various colors seized by the Japanese, and even several boxes of cigarettes from the Pegasus Cigarette Factory of the New Fourth Army in Huainan Base (the CCP first produced high-end brand cigarettes: Pegasus Cigarettes, and they are still here). These high-end goods still exist in the market for consumers to enjoy meat and taste freshness.

In the shops owned by the 12 district teams in the market, there are also positions where district team cadres and soldiers commissioned sales. After many battles, in addition to sending valuables to the public, each cadre and soldier accumulated a lot of spoils in his hands. If he didn't deal with it, some of them would accumulate until there was no place to put them in.

The members of the condolences and condolences of the propaganda team also became quite interested in this kind of barter transaction, and they took out their own things to trade on site, just to join in the fun. Small mirrors, small combs, hairpins, hair oil and so on are also very popular. Village girls and sisters-in-law often hold on to them when they see them, and the old men with dry tobacco rods also inserted a cigarette into the pot.

Taking advantage of the lively trades between everyone in the market, Zhang Cai, the leader of the condolence propaganda team, took advantage of Li Wei's sack of his spoils into the basket marked with his name on the shop, and suddenly spoke: "Planer Li! Can this weapon be given up on you?!"

Li Wei was stunned, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Haha, how could Mr. Zhang be interested in my cold weapon?" He said that, and pulled out the fighting thorn from behind and put it in his hand, looking as if he was waiting for a price.

"I have rarely seen a weapon like the one in Platoon Commander Li. It is easy to kill people and kill people on the battlefield. I want to take it back and imitate a group of soldiers so that the soldiers of the national army can have such a powerful weapon for close combat." Zhang Cai stared at the fighting sting in Li Wei's hand with emotion. In recent times of actual combat observation, Li Wei insisted that this Qimen weapon, which was different from a sword, almost showed its limelight on the battlefield. The slashing and slashing are all murderous. The trauma caused is extremely difficult to treat, which made Zhang Cai feel willing to learn from the scriptures.

"One hundred thousand yuan has appeared! No bargaining!" Li Wei laughed. This fighting sting that had been with Li Wei for nearly three years had harvested many lives. It was Li Wei's heart. It was quite historical and commemorative. Leader Zhang Cai asked for a purchase, and Li Wei asked for a price without hesitation.

"If Platoon Commander Li is not willing to sell, don't make such a joke." Zhang Cai spoke very dismissive to Li Wei's lion, thinking that Li Wei was an excuse.

"This is not a joke. I say that the selling price of 100,000 yuan is absolutely true." Li Wei's eyes turned and began to use his eloquence that turned black and white. He continued: "I asked a famous craftsman to make it purely by hand for a month. I can say that I can't find a weapon with better material than it in the base area. The alloy structure used is very special, with high temperature resistance, excellent toughness, sharp and wear-resistant, heavy and never stainless. Even the Japanese armored vehicles can penetrate it. It has followed me for many years and drank countless Japanese invaders' blood. The value of it can not be measured by money. Of course, this fighting sting is also spiritual. It has saved my life on the battlefield. The squad leader under my command can testify for me." A light shook his hand, and the fighting sled immediately made a light and long tremolo, as if confirming the spirituality that Li Wei said.

Li Wei blew his fighting sting like a peerless magic weapon. He heard the soldiers around him rolling their eyes. Those who knew Li Wei knew that Li Wei's fighting sting was extremely sharp and strong, but it was also too outrageous and almost became a magic weapon. This was completely contrary to the communist materialist idea. What kind of spirituality is just a skill of high-frequency shock and exerting force. However, seeing Li Wei's spitting on the starry sky, no one dared to expose him.

Hearing the tremolo of the fighting sting, Zhang Cai's eyes lit up in no way, staring at the fighting sting in Li Wei's hand with a fiery look. He was obviously moved by Li Wei's words. He reached out and stroked the fighting sting blade, feeling the cold and heavy sac, and exclaimed: "What a weapon! It's a pity that the price is too expensive!" With a little regret, a hundred thousand oceans are not a small amount, and he couldn't make up such a huge sum of money for a while.

"It's rare to be valuable! You need to have skills to use this weapon, otherwise it will easily hurt yourself and be difficult to practice. Otherwise, my team would have used this weapon long ago!" Li Wei continued to blew the Biaobing record of this fighting spear. If the Stardust Shuttle had not been exhausted in the battle and had not been supplemented, he might have shown it.

Li Wei was not completely reluctant to give up this fighting sting. If someone really could give up 100,000 oceans, he would really be able to give up the land. 100,000 oceans was enough to increase the base's military level by several levels.

"Does it have a name?!" Zhang Cai, who obviously had lost the desire to buy, turned his attention to the historical story of this fighting sting. Even if he returned to the rear, it was a topic of discussion among his friends.

"Well! Ah!~" Li Wei scratched his forehead and began to hesitate. His comrades almost laughed out loud. The platoon leader was good at everything, but he had never given his exclusive weapon a serious name. For example, the big swords in the Big Sword Team were all named Demon-Slaying Sword.

"Call the Demon-killing Thorn!" Li Wei opened his eyes and said a lie, and then turned his head to the soldiers of the 12th District Team and said, "It's very famous!"

The soldiers around him nodded in condescending to Li Wei's tyranny.
