Chapter 3 Three catties and three notoginseng powder

"The Japanese robbed all the pharmacies in Zhengzhou City?" Although he had confirmed this matter in his heart, Ren Laifeng still asked unwillingly.

"At least seventy percent of them were snatched. The rest were also bought by Chief Sun two days ago. Sir, I'm really gone here. I don't know if other families have private collections, anyway, we don't have Jishitang. ”

Was it acquired by Chief Sun? Could it be Sun Tongxuan? Ren Laifeng secretly made up his mind in his heart, "Did the gang that bought Sanqi say that they were some of Chief Sun's subordinates?" ”

"How many other Chiefs are there in this city? Of course, it's Sun Tongxuan, Chief Sun. The shopkeeper of Jishitang looked at Ren Laifeng in surprise. Today's Zhengzhou City dares to add the surname Sun in front of the chief, who else can there be besides Sun Tongxuan? Who else is so bold?

Since there was no Sanqi in the pharmacy, Ren Laifeng would not be here to delay time, he left Jishitang with his subordinates and rushed directly to the group army headquarters in Longhai Garden, Ren Laifeng wanted to go to Sun Tongxuan to ask for Sanqi who could save his life.

In front of him was the gate of the group army headquarters, but Ren Laifeng was startled by the scene he saw. I saw that there was chaos at the gate of the headquarters that was solemn and solemn in the past, and groups of soldiers ran in and out in a panic.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A group of people pushed the water truck used to extinguish the fire and crowded into the gate, followed by a group of people carrying various boxes and bags to the door and put them in a pile. What are these people doing? Could it be that there was a fire in the headquarters?

Ren Laifeng inquired about the situation like a soldier sitting on his burden and panting, and the news he got turned out to be that the headquarters had been bombed by enemy planes an hour earlier! It turned out that the devil plane had already patronized Sun Tongxuan's headquarters before bombing the compound of the Flying Tiger Battalion! Is Mr. Sun okay? Knowing that Commander-in-Chief Sun was safe and sound, Ren Laifeng couldn't help but secretly recite Amitabha Buddha in his heart.

It is said that in this case, Ren Laifeng should come back to visit another day, but he can wait, but the wounded can't! The door is too chaotic, even if you want to report, Ren Laifeng doesn't know who to report, come on, just go in by yourself! Ren Laifeng swaggered into the headquarters of the Third Army with a few of his subordinates.

Things are slightly better inside the headquarters than they are outside. There are a few black smoke explosion points that are already being rescued, and the others are also busy with their own people, and there are really few people like Ren Laifeng who are hanging around.

After inquiring all the way, Ren Laifeng met Sun Tongxuan in an underground conference room. Commander-in-Chief Sun's spirit is still so abundant, and his attitude is still as amiable as the uncle next door.

"Xiao Ren, I heard that your Flying Tiger Battalion was also bombed by the Japanese army? What about casualties? Is the loss big? ”

"The casualties are close to a hundred, and the losses are not too great. But Commander-in-Chief, there are no anti-inflammatory drugs in our Flying Tiger Battalion. I went to the pharmacy to buy notoginseng, and the shopkeeper of the pharmacy said that you let people buy all the notoginseng. Commander-in-Chief, can you give me some? Dozens of my brothers have now stopped taking their medication. ”

Ren Laifeng said pitifully, Sun Tongxuan was as responsive as ever. I don't know what kind of attitude he has towards others, anyway, when he treats Ren Laifeng, Sun Tongxuan almost gives what he wants, and basically rarely discounts it. Do you want medicine? I'll give! You can count how many three or seven portions you want, if you don't count, take three catties back first, and then take it if it's not enough!

Ren Laifeng happily thanked him, saluted Commander-in-Chief Sun and was about to find a place to get medicine, but Sun Tongxuan stopped him. "Xiao Ren, why are you still so reckless? What are you anxious about? I'm not done yet. ”

You have to leave halfway through the leader's words, and it's no wonder that the leader's impression of you is so good. Fortunately, Sun Tongxuan has always been accommodating to Ren Laifeng, and this time it was the same, and he didn't mention it anymore after saying a few words, and Commander-in-Chief Sun actually came up with conditions to exchange with Ren Laifeng!

"Sanqi, I can give it to you, if it's not enough, I can also help you transfer it from somewhere else. But you'll have to do me a favor, too. Sun Tongxuan looked at Ren Laifeng, and Ren Laifeng was also looking at him. The two watched silently for a few seconds, and in the end, it was Commander-in-Chief Sun who first revealed the mystery.

"It's not been a day or two since Japanese planes came to bomb my headquarters. Zhengzhou was like this before it was lost, and now we have just regained the city, and they are here again before even ten days have passed! This situation cannot be left to develop any longer! Xiao Ren, I'll give you a mission, you took the troops to bomb the airfield of the Japanese! The airport is in Hezhuang. I don't see an airport, how can the devils bomb? ”

"Yes! I'll be there early tomorrow morning! This three-seven? ”

"I'll give it to you now! Hmph, look at your stinginess, you don't have the demeanor of a general at all. Wei Dayong, you take Commander Ren to the pharmacy of the General Hospital, just say what I said, and weigh him three catties and three sevens. ”

Hospital pharmacies are all about the money of medicinal materials, the more valuable the medicine weighs more carefully, which is like this, come up directly to three catties! Of course, with Sun Tongxuan's order, let alone three catties of traditional Chinese medicine, even if he wants thirty catties or three hundred catties, he has to give it!

Ren Laifeng returned to the Flying Tiger Camp with three catties and three sevens. Although there are not many notoginseng powders, with these and other medicines, Niu Guanglin can ensure that the wounds of the wounded officers and soldiers will not become infected.

Now that you've got your hands on something, it's time for Ren Laifeng to make good on his promises. Go to the airport in Kaifeng to bomb the devil, don't look at Ren Laifeng's promise, but he has to be 100,000 careful when he really does it.

First of all, starting from Zhengzhou to Kaifeng, it was necessary to cross the New Yellow River, and the artillery company could not follow it. It is difficult to move with a cannon, and how to cross the Yellow River is a big problem. If you don't have an artillery company, you have to rush to the infantry and blow it up with grenades, not to mention the high risk factor, it is much more difficult.

Ren Laifeng picked and picked and chosen. A platoon was selected from the first company, two platoons from the second company, one platoon from the third company, one platoon from the new company, one platoon from the new second company, and a machine gun squad, a small artillery squad, and a baggage platoon, with a total of more than 300 sturdy soldiers to carry out this extremely high-risk mission.

He brought Feng Wenying and Fu Erchong with the company-level officers, and the rest of the elite platoon commanders. After the team was assembled, Ren Laifeng made a brief pre-war mobilization speech. In order to keep his actions secret, he didn't tell the soldiers what he was doing this time, anyway, he was crossing the Yellow River to fight.

The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion have long been accustomed to this situation, as long as there is a battalion commander with him, it is to fight, there is nothing to say, just fight!

On November 12, 1941, 12 days after the recovery of Zhengzhou, Ren Laifeng led the troops of the Flying Tiger Battalion to cross the Yellow River east again and enter the occupied area.
