    September 20th, two and a half days have passed since the end of the Battle of Southern Hebei. In the past few days, Li Guoyao has also compiled the results of this battle.

    According to statistics, Li Guoyao's troops dispatched a total of 210,680 regular troops in this battle, 8,200 regular troops of the Eighth Route Army and 20,768 militiamen were cooperating in the battle. From September 6  The war started on the 17th and ended on the evening of the 17th, a total of 12 days.

    During these 12 days of fighting, the two armies captured a total of 21 county seats and 1 important city. Except for Ningjin and Xinhe, which were re-controlled by the Japanese army, the remaining 19 county seats and the important town of Handan were all controlled by Li Guoyao.  Under the control of the Eighth Route Army.

    Among them, the counties controlled by Li Guoyao include Daming, Wei County, Cheng'an, Cixian, Wu'an, Yongnian, Feixiang, Guangping, Linzhang and Handan City. The rest are all controlled by the Eighth Route Army Jinan Administrative Office.

    In this battle, more than 3,600 Japanese soldiers were annihilated and more than 360 people were captured. More than 3,800 puppet soldiers were killed and more than 4,500 people were captured, for a total of more than 12,000 people.

    In addition to annihilating the number of enemies, the Japanese army was caught off guard in this battle. Especially in the later period, the Japanese army retreated in a panic and had no time to destroy or transfer supplies. Therefore, the seizures in this battle were also very rich.

    According to statistics, a total of 15,882 long guns, 387 pistols, 212 light machine guns, 172 heavy machine guns, 76 grenades, 44 mortars, 18 infantry guns, 12 mountain artillery and other large-caliber artillery were seized in this battle.  Gate, with more than one million bullets and more than 6,000 artillery shells.

    In addition, more than 2,000 war horses, more than 800 sets of lances and sabers, more than 60 cars, 8 tanks, and more than 300 carriages were seized.  There are more than 500 tons of grain, more than 4,000 sets of Japanese military uniforms, and more than 200 tons of oil!

    Of course, in addition to these, there are three things that make Li Guoyao most happy. The first is that a small field hospital of the Japanese army was captured in this battle, including all the doctors, nurses and equipment, which became the trophies of Li Guoyao's troops.

    At present, the troops are fighting too frequently, so there are many wounded. The original medical conditions alone are indeed not enough to cope with the frequent fighting. The field hospital captured this time is really a timely help!

    Secondly, a small arsenal was seized. This arsenal is located in Handan City. Although it cannot produce heavy weapons, it can produce 38-guns and crooked light machine guns.

    Although the output is not very high, according to the seized documents, it can only produce 1,000 long guns and 30 light machine guns at full capacity in a month. This is assuming that the raw materials are sufficient and the workers are skilled in operation.

    ¡°However, this output is enough for the national army in southern Hebei. What¡¯s more, what Li Guoyao values ????is not the ability of this arsenal to produce equipment. What he values ????is the ammunition production capacity.

    In fact, for the Japanese army in southern Hebei, the role of this arsenal is not to produce equipment. It can only arm one brigade of troops in a month, which is really not enough!

    ¡°But this arsenal has two production lines for 6.5mm Sakamoto bullets, and a large gunpowder production factory. If the production is at full capacity, it can produce hundreds of thousands of bullets every day.

    Since this arsenal began to be put into operation, the ammunition consumption of more than 20,000 Japanese and puppet troops in the entire southern Hebei region has been entirely supported by this arsenal!

    Since Li Guoyao's troops arrived in southern Hebei, everything else has been fine, except for the ammunition supply, which is far behind.

    After the last time the troops fought in Handan, the ammunition was basically used up, so when they came back, the whole army started to reload bullets, which was not a good life.

    The most important thing is that the performance of the reloaded bullets is too poor, especially after the lead bullets are replaced, which causes the bullets to be heavier in the front and lighter in the back, and the bullets fired will float, which seriously affects the combat capabilities of the troops.

    With this arsenal, Li Guoyao believes that the situation of the Third Column in southern Hebei and Luxi will be better.

    The third thing that made Li Guoyao happy was a printing factory. Although Li Guoyao would also like it if it was an ordinary printing factory, it would never make him forgetful about it.

    But this printing plant is different. This printing plant is not used to print general information newspapers and periodicals, but to print military stamps!

    ??Military notes are the illegal currency used by the Japanese in China, and their full name is Japanese military notes.

    For the Chinese, military coupons have little credibility, but they have to be used in the Japanese-occupied areas, because this is the currency used by the Japanese government to issue Japanese military pay. Do you dare not recognize it?

    Military coupons were used as early as the Russo-Japanese War in the early 20th century. Since then, Japan has used military coupons every time it deployed troops abroad.  Especially during the Pacific War, when Japan went crazyMilitary stamps were issued crazily, and all public and private economic income and expenditures of the Japanese military and civilians were made entirely of "military hand stamps", and residents in the occupied areas were forced to exchange military stamps as currency.

    Since there is no deposit as exchange support when military tickets are issued, and there is no specific issuing office, military tickets cannot be exchanged for Japanese yen.  For this reason, the Japanese government used this as a means to dominate the economy of the occupied territories.

    The Japanese army has a long history of using military stamps in China. Since the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, the Japanese army has forcibly issued various military stamps in every war of aggression.  For example, military tickets for the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, military tickets for the Russo-Japanese War, military tickets for the invasion and occupation of Qingdao, etc.

    Since Japan has received unimaginable economic benefits after the war, most of the previous types of military coupons have been cashed. For example, the Sino-Japanese War military coupons were issued in the 27th year of Meiji. The Japanese troops were in Lushun, Weihai, and Tianjin.  It was brought into China when it landed in other places and was mainly circulated in parts of Hebei Province, Liaodong Peninsula and Jiaodong Peninsula.

    When the war began, the planned circulation was 2.7 million taels, equivalent to approximately 3.8 million Japanese silver dollars.  Due to the premature end of the war, the actual circulation was approximately 1 million Japanese silver dollars.  The Sino-Japanese War ended with the Qing government's defeat. The Japanese government forced the Qing government to pay 231.5 million taels of silver as compensation. After receiving this compensation, the Japanese government recovered all military invoices issued.

    But for Japan now, the war is far from over, and there is no end in sight. Therefore, military tickets are still the most important currency in the occupied areas.

    The printing factory captured by the troops in Handan City this time is the largest military stamp printing organization set up by the Japanese army in southern Hebei. It can print new military stamps with dragon and phoenix as the main face patterns - D-number stamps.

    There are a total of 7 denominations of this type of military ticket. The face of the ticket is printed with "Military Hand Ticket of the Imperial Japanese Government", and the back of the ticket has the same explanation and warning text as the No. A ticket.  All D-number tickets have no print quantity number and must be circulated in North and Central China.

    Li Guoyao hated things like military tickets extremely. This was completely a despicable method used by the Japanese government to plunder the economy of the occupied areas.

    If the Japanese win this war, these military tickets may still have a certain value, but it is obvious that the Japanese cannot win the war. Once Japan is defeated, this kind of thing will be worthless.  Paper.

    More importantly, since the Japanese army occupied North and Central China, they have forcibly promoted this worthless military ticket and forced the people in the occupied areas to exchange all their legal tender for military tickets. It is illegal for ordinary people to hide legal tender.

    ¡°As for the Japanese, they handed over the recovered legal currency to the secret service and went to the Kuomintang-controlled areas to purchase strategic materials and poach the National Government.

    In order to undermine the National Government as much as possible, the Japanese army not only forcibly confiscated the legal currency in the hands of ordinary people in the occupied areas of North and Central China, but also forged it themselves and printed a large number of legal currency.

    Some time ago, when Li Guoyao's troops attacked Zaozhuang, they destroyed a secret mint of the Japanese army. That mint was used by the Japanese army to print legal currency!

    Li Guoyao has always wanted to fight back against this behavior of the Japanese army, but his strength did not allow it. It is different now. Not only does he have printing equipment for legal currency, he now also has printing equipment for Japanese military stamps, as well as part of the inventory.  Special paper, if used properly, is no less powerful than an infantry division.

    Having military stamps means having money, having an arsenal means having weapons, equipment and ammunition, plus doctors and medicines in the hospital. As long as there are enough people, a strong team can be built in a short time.  , so Li Guoyao can be said to have made a lot of money in this battle!
