On that day, Wang Xuexin received a notice to go to the headquarters with Li Yunlong for a meeting.

The meeting was scheduled for the evening.

The reason is that during this difficult period, in addition to the command center, even the government agencies have to go to the ground to farm. In other words, in response to the call of "production and work", he took the daytime to open up the land with a hoe, and returned to his residence at night and lit a kerosene lamp to complete his work.

At this time, in the border area, the soldiers and civilians were carrying hoes up the mountain as soon as they were dawn. Looking around, there were land reclamators everywhere. On the hillside and in the ditches, red flags were waving, and hoes were flying. Singing, laughter, slogans, and cheering came one after another.

At night, oil lamps lit up again, and thousands of families were brightly spinning, spinning, weaving, and various tasks overnight.

Therefore, when Li Yunlong and Wang Xuexin walked into the conference room, in addition to the smell of soot released from the kerosene lamp, there was also a strong smell of sweat... Many leaders and cadres came to the meeting immediately after they came back from the field.

Soon, the chief of staff and the chief of staff hurried in.

The leader excitedly raised the cadres with a stack of things in his hand, saying, "Tell everyone good news, our border area has its own money!"

The conference room was quiet for a while, and suddenly there were warm applause and cheers.

The chief and chief of staff sent down the stacks of brand new border coins on both sides, and quipped, "These border coins and Guanghua coupons are exchanged one by one. Please take a look, don't hide them secretly!"

These words immediately made the cadres laugh.

What Wang Xuexin received was a denomination for the wuyuan.

Its sides are stroked with patterns and written with "Wu Yuan".

The pattern in the middle is a city gate building, with several fellow villagers wearing cotton coats walking in front of them, as if they were busy and talking.

The above pattern is written from right to left in traditional Chinese, "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Bank", and the lower part is written "Thirty Years of the Republic of China".

Wang Xuexin was a little moved. During this period, the base area was plundered by stubborn soldiers and the Japanese using French currency and had no power to fight back. The military and civilians in the base area were all holding their anger. As soon as the border area was out, they finally exhaled their anger!

The other cadres' ideas are similar to those of Wang Xuexin. Most of them know what the issuance of regional coins here means.

Only Li Yunlong had a different idea. He took a round border coin and took a photo under the kerosene lamp. He squinted his eyes and looked for a while, and asked, "Chief, can this money be exchanged for a jar of wine?"

"You think of wine in your head!" The leader cursed with a fierce look: "The dozens of jars of wine that you fed from Chu Yunfei a few days ago aren't enough for you to drink?"

Li Yunlong replied awkwardly as if he was caught stealing candy: "Then... how can it be called "Ever"? It was obviously given to him by someone!"

Zhang Wanhe continued: "You Li Yunlong, you can pull out a few hairs even if you fly by the geese. Is it also sent by the geese?"

A burst of laughter broke out in the conference room again.

Li Yunlong's personality of "not taking advantage enough, but suffering from suffering from losses" is well known in the Eighth Route Army, and of course everyone understands what the so-called "giving" is.

The chief waited for the venue to be quieter, and then continued, "This time I asked comrades to come. One of them was about the border currency. There are six coupons and four denominations in our area. Comrades should remember clearly. They are one cent, one of two cents, one of two cents, two rounds, and two rounds. When they go back, they will promote it with the soldiers. In the future, the circulation of legal currency will be prohibited!"

The Chief of Staff interrupted: "When it comes to this, we have to thank comrades Li Yunlong and Wang Xuexin! Everyone has heard that they sold three rocket launchers for 6 million kilograms of grain, which is 6 million kilograms... This has laid a solid foundation for the issuance of border coins! Thank them!"

The applause suddenly rang out.

Wang Xuexin hurriedly stood up and saluted.

He understood what the Chief of Staff meant by "laying the foundation".

As mentioned before, with food, especially in this difficult period, there is the right to decide.

For example, if the six million kilograms of grain are placed in various places, it is stipulated that the border currency can only be used to exchange grain, so the villagers can only think of ways to earn border currency.

Over time, the purpose of using border coins to drive out fiat currency was achieved.

Li Yunlong was a little confused when he heard this. He didn't know what the connection between grain and the issuance of border coins, but he still stood up in the applause and bowed to the surroundings while laughing, "You're welcome!"

Then the leader changed the subject and said with a serious expression:

"Comrades, although our army has achieved great results in this battle, it has also exposed many problems in the battle."

"The most serious thing is that our army is accustomed to going forward together and charging in a dense formation."

"It's too big to hit the target like this. I was shot by the enemy's cannons and machine guns. A few rounds of shells and a few rounds of bullets came down and the loss was too big!"

"So, it's time for us to think about tactics. I think we should fight in a dispersed formation to minimize casualties and losses on the battlefield of our army! This way we can fight as much as possible!"

The cadres nodded in agreement, and what the leader said was actually a common problem of the Eighth Route Army at this time.

Because the Eighth Route Army expanded its troops quickly and the vast majority of the troops were workers and peasants without military training, they often rushed to war, just like fighting in groups.

Wang Xuexin is deeply touched in this regard.

As a soldier, he noticed problems in the tactics and quality of the Eighth Route Army since he came to this world.

Sometimes he felt a little strange. He said that the battlefield was the best school and training ground. For example, when the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, many new recruits became veterans after fighting a few battles on the battlefield, and then fought well. Why did the Eighth Route Army still behave the same after fighting a few battles?

After a little thought, Wang Xuexin understood.

The period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea was a period of relatively mature tactics. What new recruits learned from fighting with veterans were standard and proved useful on the battlefield, so they grew very quickly.

But the Eighth Route Army...their tactics are still in the initial stage of immatureness, and what the veterans said may not be correct, and some of them are even contradictory, so the new recruits also learned to fight randomly and continued to fight randomly after fighting several battles.

Therefore, Wang Xuexin believes that first of all, we need to have a correct tactical guidance, and then practice in the right direction to be useful.

So can modern tactics be used for the Eighth Route Army?

Wang Xuexin soon discovered that this seemed out of place.

For example, modern times focus on the coordination of infantry and artillery, and infantry plays more the role of "artillery observer", that is, they act as the eyes and ears of artillery. They report the target position to the artillery through radio to the artillery to eliminate the target with artillery, and follow the combat principle of using artillery without infantry charge.

But this obviously doesn't work in the Eighth Route Army. Not to mention that there are no such advanced communication equipment, even if there are, there are not so many artillery soldiers to cooperate.

For example, in modern times, the use of scattered formation charges... This is also not suitable for the Eighth Route Army.

The reason why scattered troops can be promoted is that they have sufficient firepower per unit area to impact the enemy's defense line.

If the Eighth Route Army uses scattered troops, its weak firepower will form a weak tactic, that is, it is not enough to pose a threat to the enemy but will be added to death.
