Because of Zhao Gang's pressure, Li Yunlong and Wang Xuexin both persuaded each other and set the price of cloth at 1.8 cents.

This is still lifting up one minute at a time, and each minute requires repeated discussions.

Wang Xuexin understood what Zhao Gang was worried about, so he was worried that a higher price of the cloth would cause a chain reaction, which would lead to a rise in the price of coarse cloth.

It’s winter coming soon, and it’s time for the people to prepare winter clothes. If the people don’t have the money to buy cloth, would it pay?

Although Zhao Gang was a graduate of Yenching University, he knew nothing about the market and only thought that the price could be low so that the people could get benefits. However, he did not know the rules of the market's own market. If he violated this rule, it would not only not allow the people to get benefits but would be hurt by it. In short, it would be a good intention to do bad things.

Although Wang Xuexin is not very clear about the price of this era, he still feels that the price of 80 cents is still too low, and the problems mentioned before still exist.

However, because Zhao Gang's insistence could only be set at 80 cents, no more, otherwise he would have to report to the headquarters, so Wang Xuexin and Li Yunlong had to give up.

Li Yunlong also muttered and complained in a low voice: "I just said that the sour scholar is useless, right? I don't eat meat from my mouth. Is there anyone who does this kind of business? According to me, when we do business, we have to be like a businessman. Don't always think that we are still the Eighth Route Army!"

Wang Xuexin still agrees with Li Yunlong's view in this regard.

The reason is that doing business is actually very cruel. Some people say that shopping malls are like battlefields, which is true at all times.

If you don’t treat yourself as a businessman when doing business, then it’s no different from tied up your hands and going to the battlefield.

At this time, the Eighth Route Army had to try all kinds of ways to make money and survive because of the environment. If it could not gain a foothold in the business world or even lose money... Then how much significance would the "self-reliance" called by the superiors have?

However, Wang Xuexin believes that this matter is not urgent, and Zhao Gang will eventually raise the price.

Sure enough, when Wang Xuexin was giving lectures to Zhan’s tactical class that day... the so-called tactical class was sent by various divisions and regiments to Wang Xuexin to learn to command tank operations.

Because these commanders and soldiers came to learn command, they were organized into a separate class.

This class made Wang Xuexin feel ashamed. The highest position was a deputy commander named Tan Zhiming. He was thirty-seven years old. He was an old Red Army soldier who had been a soldier for seven years. His face was different from that of other people.

There are also five battalion commanders and two deputy battalion commanders. The 15-member team in the class has the lowest position. However, they all don’t seem to be “easy to mess with”... I can’t tell what’s different about these people, but standing one by one makes them different from other people. Whether it’s from their eyes or their posture, they can vaguely see some murderous aura.

But Wang Xuexin, the battalion commander, was actually a teacher who was teaching on the stage, and the pressure was not too great.

What made Wang Xuexin even more embarrassed was that, including Tan Zhiming, the deputy leader, all of them held their notebooks to listen carefully during class, and they also took notes while listening.

When he first arrived in Yuncheng, Tan Zhiming even said to Wang Xuexin: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, I will be your student after entering this class. Unless I graduate, we will not have a battalion commander. The title of deputy commander is comrade, classmate, you are the teacher!"

However, Wang Xuexin is still very sure to teach them. After all, he is a modern person and having modern tactics has proven to be the right tactics. There are many tactics in this era, especially tank tactics, which are not yet mature.

Wang Xuexin asked them a question during class on the first day: "Comrades, I want to ask you, if you have a tank company or a tank battalion in your hands, how would you command them to attack the enemy's defense line!"

The commanders and fighters discussed for a while, then Tan Zhiming stood up and spoke: "First I will look for the weaknesses of the enemy's defense line, find a terrain suitable for tank combat to determine the breakthrough, and then concentrate the tanks to implement breakthroughs from this point, and then go deep into the enemy's hinterland to expand the results!"

Tan Zhiming's words attracted applause from others, and most of them agreed with Tan Zhiming's combat plan.

This is not surprising. As the saying goes, "I have never eaten pork and seen pigs walking." This is how the Japanese fight when using tanks. If there is any difference, it is that Japanese often disdain to concentrate tanks... The reason is that the anti-tank capabilities of the Chinese army are too weak, and they will break through from several positions at the same time.

Wang Xuexin just nodded slightly, then picked up chalk and drew it on the blackboard while saying, "If this is the enemy's defense line, if our tank battalion concentrates its forces to break through this point... But what if the enemy implements artillery reinforcements at this point? Or will it send an aircraft to bomb? Even if the aircraft is not sent, the Japanese can use reconnaissance planes to track and send artillery and tanks to encircle and suppress it. How should our army deal with it?"

The commanders and soldiers were stunned when they heard this. What Wang Xuexin said was indeed something that was very likely to happen on the battlefield. Even if the Eighth Route Army chose to attack at night without worrying about the enemy's planes, the enemy's heavy artillery could not be avoided.

Wang Xuexin just wanted to tell them that tactics cannot be simply copied, because the equipment, training level, and even the battlefield environment of each unit are different, which determines that the tactics that the enemy can use may not be used, and the tactics that our army can use may not be used, just like the back slope tactics that Wang Xuexin said before.

Then Tan Zhiming asked: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, then how should we... attack?"

Wang Xuexin replied: "War, especially frontal war, emphasizes systematic confrontation. It requires the coordination of cannons, tanks, air and other troops. In this regard, we cannot compare with the Japanese. Even if we have T34 tanks that are advanced than the Japanese, the same is true. So, don't use tanks to attack the defense line prepared by the Japanese, that is to die!"

A battalion commander was dissatisfied and stood up and asked, "Comrade Wang Xuexin, I don't agree with your point of view. As you said, the systemization of the Japanese has always existed, but you can still use the tank troops in your hands to win several big victories..."

"Battery Commander Chen!" Wang Xuexin said: "The reason why I was able to win a battle was because the Japanese were not prepared. They didn't know that our army was equipped with tanks at first, so they did not use a complete combat system to fight our army. As for the second recovery of Yuncheng... it was a sneak attack, a dangerous army, and a use of some external conditions to make the systemization of the Japanese unable to play a role!"

Tan Zhiming nodded repeatedly and said, "So, good equipment is also difficult. Because of the tanks, for the minerals in Yuncheng, in order to build guns and bullets, our army forced to go out of the mountains to confront the Japanese head-on, so it changed from guerrilla warfare to a systematic combat that our army was not good at!"
