Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 956

Chapter 956 Tang Tuanzuo baked cakes! (Ask for monthly ticket)

In addition to the rewards required for winners of military exploits, the other is the pension for the officers and soldiers who died this time.

Nearly half of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Line Regiment who died this time were recruits recruited into the three infantry battalions. Their families all settled in small towns seven or eight miles away from the regiment headquarters.

Tomorrow is the enshrinement ceremony designated by Tang Dao for the fallen soldiers. Family members and representatives of the surrounding people are also invited to participate. If the family members cannot be given an explanation after the ceremony, it will not only disappoint the living people, but also make the dead soldiers unable to Don't worry, the people's hearts will also be cold.

No matter how loudly the slogan "Fight the Japanese with the Four Elements Regiment and regain our homeland and rivers" is shouted, the death will be in vain. There is no one to support the parents, wives and children. Who dares to follow you to do such a job that can easily lose your head?

The Eighty-Eighty Group Army can rely on describing the future to call for help, but the Fourth Army Group really does not dare to do so at the moment.

Money and food are the best protection for family members!

After all, you have to pay for it with your life.

"The way I see it, we still follow the standards set by the regiment in the past. Each soldier who died in battle is NT$200, and each officer is NT$300. The regiment's current financial reserves should be enough to support the families of these recruits and veterans, because the family members are still in their hometowns. If the money cannot be delivered at the moment, then write it down first and then entrust someone to deliver it when the time is right." Guo Shouzhi suggested.

This statement was recognized by most people present.

At this time, the Ministry of Military Affairs has established a Pensions Section. According to the current Army Pensions Regulations: Officers starting from warrant officers will receive a one-time pension of 300 Oceans and an annual pension of 120 Oceans. The standards are different for different levels; for soldiers, the most senior staff sergeant It is a one-time pension of 150 and an annual pension of 80. The lowest-ranking private has a one-time pension of 80 and an annual pension of 40.

If according to the pension regulations of the Ministry of Military Affairs, the recruits who died in the Four Lines Regiment this time will only need to pay 80 oceans first, and then give 40 oceans to their families every year, and the burden will be much smaller.

Guo Shouzhi's move more than tripled the soldiers' pensions in one fell swoop.

The amount of 200 oceans is indeed not that small in this era. It is enough to support a rural family of five for four to five years, and it is enough to support parents, wife and children.

This is also out of practical considerations. The Four Lines Group has now seized a lot of gold, but let alone the gold has not been exchanged for the ocean, even if all the gold has been exchanged for the ocean, the expenses will be high.

Because the Si Xing Regiment is now temporarily under the jurisdiction of the 22nd Army, but the 22nd Army itself is so poor that it is almost like pants. Who has the time to care about you, a foreigner, and you don't know when and how you got military pay and many other funds. moon.

That means that at least for a long period of time, the Si Xing Regiment must be self-sufficient, and Tang Tuan Zuo has already put the army expansion plan on the agenda. This does not count, the liberation of Licheng brought back the Six There are more than a thousand mouths to eat, and what's more terrible is that there is an arsenal and other supporting measures to be built.

These all require money, ready money!

Even Lei Xiong, who was most considerate of his brothers, originally wanted to try to gain more benefits for these soldiers who died in the battle, but now he glanced at the future expenditure plan of the regiment previously provided by Zhuang Shisan in his hand, and could only say it silently. Close it and acquiesce that Guo Shouzhi's suggestion is the most feasible.

"It seems that you all think that 200 oceans is enough to buy a life." Tang Dao stood up and walked to the window. No one could see his face.

But obviously, Tang Tuanzuo does not agree with this proposal, which is definitely reasonable at present.

"I know that you are also thinking about the group, and once the amount of pension is opened, it will not be easy to take it back in the future. It is a good thing that the group's financial resources can support it, but if it cannot support it, we who are in charge Damn it, you're about to be roasted on the fire." Tang Dao's somewhat cold voice continued.

"But that's all you think about from your own perspective, but does anyone really think about it from the perspective of those soldiers who have died, those who have lost their sons, husbands, and fathers? "

"Yes, when our group met them, their family lived in a homeless place, and there was more than a 50% chance that they would be tired and hungry on the road without knowing the direction. However, I ask you to understand something. This thing is not their fault. The fault lies with the government and us soldiers.

If it weren't for us as soldiers being defeated, they could have stayed in that small village, that small market town. Although they didn't have abundant supplies, at least they would have had food to fill their stomachs and the family could be reunited.

They fled their hometowns to escape the war and had no idea what their future would be like. In this state, the young men in the family were forced to join the army to earn a share of military pay to feed their families in order to survive.

But now, they have also died in the battle. Could it be that we just use 200 or 300 oceans to send them to others? Ignoring the price inflation in the future due to the war, with this little money, a family of old, weak, women and children can live for several years, and finally starve to death and be reunited with their relatives, right? "

　　A series of questions from Tang Dao, which was carried on his back, left the highest-ranking school officials of the Four Elements Regiment speechless.

As Tang Dao pointedly pointed out, they were indeed considering the position of the entire Si Xing Regiment and did not really take on the roles of these soldiers who had died in battle.

But this is because they are cold-blooded! It's not necessarily true that if they are in their position, they will have to shoulder their responsibilities.

Even Leng Feng, who had just been promoted to major, now had to learn to think about the hundreds of brothers under his command, and was unable to focus solely on his personal emotions.

"So, in order to tie our lives to our brethren who kill the Japanese with us, we as officers cannot let them down. If we don't have money, we will find ways to make money. We will find ways to rob the stubborn Japanese. How can we say that we have to sacrifice our lives for money?" No matter what, I have to give them enough." Tang Dao suddenly turned around. "If one day the group really can't come up with this money, then use my Tang family's money to fill it in. If it can't be filled, let the brothers scold me as the group leader!"

“Sir!”

“Tanzuo!”

Several school officials stood up in shock, with a bit of shame on their faces.

Even though they have various reasons, they are indeed far behind in taking responsibility.

Gong Shaoxun was even more excited at this moment. He originally thought that veteran soldiers such as Lei Xiong and Guo Shouzhi were obedient to the young man Tang Dao because Tang Dao was strong enough, but now it seems that it is not just this reason.

This soldier, who is only about 20 years old, not only has an iron will, but also a shoulder that everyone can trust. He can shoulder responsibilities heavier than mountains. Being able to become an army under his command will definitely give him an incomparable sense of security.

"In this way, what Battalion Commander Guo just said is not unreasonable. The one-time pension will be based on this amount. The regiment staff will prepare the list of personnel and the corresponding amount tonight. Anyone who has relatives here will be paid tomorrow. After the spiritual ceremony is completed, they will be distributed on the spot. If there are no relatives present, then put them away first.

In addition, in terms of annual pension, the Military and Political Department's pension is 80 for sergeants and 40 for privates! No matter how difficult the regiment is, this money cannot be saved. If the relatives live in Dakouzidong, grain will be used in exchange for money, and 100 kilograms of fine grain will be distributed to the relatives every month.

The remaining relatives who are not here and who have died in battle since the establishment of our independent battalion, regardless of officers or soldiers, will be paid at the rate of 10 oceans per month.

This amount may be a bit huge, and the statistical calculations by the staff department will also take time, but it doesn't matter. I will go to the theater headquarters for this money in the near future, and I will find a way to exchange this batch of gold into ocean or legal currency as much as possible.

When Boss Qian and the others come here, ask them if there is any way to mail this money back to the families of the fallen officers and soldiers. If possible, they can get both the one-time pension and the three-year annual pension. "Tang Dao decided decisively.

The school officials all took a deep breath.

This means that a dead officer and soldier costs at least 560 oceans. On average, 600 oceans are needed. The Fourth Army Regiment has fought countless battles since the earliest days of the 43rd Army Independent Battalion.

Especially the Shushan Blockade fought by Guangde was extremely brutal, with two Sichuan infantry companies completely wiped out.

In total, if not a thousand officers and soldiers were sacrificed, they would have to be 800.

This round of pensions alone is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars!

And, this is not over yet! All sacrifices in the future must be compensated accordingly, which is a huge bottomless pit.

The Ministry of Military Affairs issued these pension regulations because they are the highest command organization and are supported by a country's tax revenue. With the current foundation of the Four Lines Group, can it sustain it?

But they still underestimated Tang Dao.

“Not only the sacrificed officers and soldiers must be compensated, but also the soldiers who are seriously injured and disabled due to injuries must be given adequate subsidies. Regardless of the officers or soldiers, as long as they are disabled, they will receive a subsidy of 100 oceans.

It would be best if he can return from injury. If a person is unfit for front-line combat due to missing limbs but does not affect his ability to walk, he will be incorporated into a baggage company as a non-commissioned officer. If there is a vacancy for a squad leader, he will serve as a squad leader, and if there is no vacancy for a squad leader, he will serve as a deputy squad leader. "Tang Dao continued to release fierce materials. The idea of providing great compensation for the sacrificed officers and soldiers and making adequate arrangements for the future of the wounded soldiers was not actually Tang Dao's temporary whim, but came to him when he retreated from the Battle of Songhu. bud.

The reason was simply that he was deeply stimulated by the shocking corpses in blue, black, and yellow-green military uniforms that could be seen everywhere along the roadside.

He knew that these corpses could have been alive.

They are all wounded soldiers.

Due to the great retreat, they were all abandoned by their own troops. Otherwise, the Japanese army, which had achieved strategic success, would have made dumplings for hundreds of thousands of troops.

And this is the result of the 67th Army, the 43rd Army, and Tang Dao who defended Songjiang for four days and nights.

Otherwise, there will only be more abandoned wounded soldiers.

Because, in the past time and space, the total casualties recorded in the Battle of Songhu reached 300,000, but in fact most of the casualties came from abandoned wounded soldiers.

They fought for the country, but in the end they could only wailing in despair and waiting for death. How cruel is this?

Why the retreating elite troops, although they seemed to still retain their main strength, had no combat effectiveness in the Jinling Guard Battle, may have something to do with the fact that they abandoned their wounded soldiers.

No one wants to end up being abandoned, just like the comrades they once abandoned.

“Brother, don't leave me!” Those desperate calls are simply heartbreaking.

And in such a torrent of armies, what is the use of the small strength of one person or a few people?

From that moment on, the morale of the so-called elite troops has been weakened!

Tang Dao has long made a vow that he will not abandon any of his brothers, even if he is just a new recruit who wets his pants when he hears the sound of cannons.

Now that the Four Lines Group has begun to take shape, he doesn't know how to do it anymore.

No matter what the cost, he not only wanted the wounded soldiers to survive, but also wanted them to live with enough dignity.

The veterans who lost their arms in Xuzhou City looked like they were begging humbly. This was simply the greatest insult to a soldier!

Living without dignity is more cruel than death!

Perhaps there are too many lice at this time and they are not afraid of being bitten. Several school officials who were shocked and numb by Tang Dao's continuous generosity looked at each other.

In the end, Zhuang Shisan asked cautiously: "It's okay for the seriously injured soldiers this time, because the Japanese army lacked enough artillery, mostly due to gunshot wounds, and only a few were disabled due to injuries, but the disabled soldiers who came here with the regiment before It's quite a lot, but the baggage company can't accommodate it!”

"That's very simple. If the establishment is not enough, then increase the establishment of baggage troops. If there are no soldiers under the command, the squad leader and deputy squad leader will take care of it first. After the new soldiers are trained, they will be added to the baggage company.

If they cannot even walk normally, then arrange for them to serve as militia platoon leaders in each village. They will be given half of their original military rank in food or oceans every month. It is up to him to choose! "Tang Dao already had a plan in mind. He looked at his friends and smiled lightly.

“Don't you still think that after this battle, we should still maintain the current number of troops for the Japanese to gather forces to fight!”

"Expand the troops! That's good. Regiment leader, don't you go to the theater headquarters? Just apply to the commander to turn the regiment into a brigade. You can also free your hands and feet to fight the Japanese." Lei Xiong, a fighting maniac, probably didn't think too much and just opened his mouth and came out with a group transformation brigade.

However, the two mature and important-minded people beside him, Gong Shaoxun and Guo Shouzhi, looked extremely cautious.

As a regiment, the Military and Administrative Department will keep a close eye on it and put pressure on the 43rd Army Military Department. If it really turns into a brigade, it would be weird to have to parachute several deputy brigade commanders and regiment commanders.

That's not because you're making yourself uncomfortable!

"Brother Lei! Do you believe that no matter how many gifts we give to the commander of the theater, he still won't do anything?" Tang Dao, however, gave his old partner an angry look.

"Ahem! That's right, that old man is famously stingy. It's better that we don't have to deal with him as much as we can, and we should do our own thing." Lei Xiong finally realized what he was doing.

"Don't worry, since we have said that we will expand, each battalion and company will expand, but first we have to expand the supply company. Otherwise, the new recruits you come over will not be able to add those who have fired a few bullets on the shooting range and have not even seen the battlefield. Stuff all the new recruits' **** in there!

This baggage company, no, should be called the baggage battalion, which is the reserve soldiers of each battalion and company in the future. The number of the battalion will be maintained at about 2,000 people! Even in the future, it is not ruled out that infantry battalions will also set up baggage companies. "Tang Dao continued.

Just one baggage camp alone had a staff of 2,000 people. Several school officers looked at each other and probably understood Tang Dao's ambitions.

Si Xing Regiment is still a regiment, but it is no longer an infantry regiment in the ordinary sense.

But this also ignited a small fire in their hearts.

The larger the army, the safer it is and the better it can fight against the Japanese!

This future is even better than imagined!

The issue of establishment is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words. Tang Dao simply described the prospects and asked Zhuang Shisan to educate several school officials about the funds currently available in the regiment.

More than 20,000 taels of gold, if all can be successfully exchanged at the current market price, it will be a huge sum of more than 4 million oceans.

The school officials who had not yet figured out the situation all widened their eyes. No wonder Tang Tuanzuo dared to spend such a large amount of money. He was confident.

Even if he wastes more money, the money will be enough for the four-pronged group to waste money for a year.

That's because Tang Dao hasn't said yet whether he has the warrant given by Comrade Lao Song in his hand, and there are still over ten million silver in Jincheng that can be withdrawn.

But it was in enemy-occupied territory after all, so how to get it out was still difficult.

In addition, Tang Dao was afraid of irritating these friends who had never seen money before, so even the cold-faced Feng started to giggle unconsciously!

As soon as the regiment meeting ended, most of the decisions were spread throughout the four-line regiment.

From senior officers to ordinary soldiers, everyone's blood was boiling because of the meeting hosted by Tang Tuanzuo at the regiment headquarters.

Tang Tuanzuo never draws cakes, but no one can resist using money as firewood and the future as a pot to bake cakes!
