Chapter 56: The Security Team Delivers Meat
The troops marched all the way, not to mention the lack of people and horses, the key is that the car is almost out of gas! When people are hungry, they can buy something to eat from the local villagers, and horses can also fight hunger by eating some grass when they are hungry. It's not easy to run out of gas.
These days are not like later generations, there are gas stations everywhere, as long as you have money on you, you can go to any town to refuel. In the 40s, China did not produce oil, and all the fuel used in the country was imported from abroad. Not to mention the high price, the quantity is also small, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money!
In the past, when he was in Henan, Ren Laifeng could let Lin Xincheng get fuel through the military command. Kuatu didn't even go out to fight many times, so the Flying Tiger Battalion basically didn't worry about fuel. It's good now, it's only been a few days since I went out, and the problem of lack of fuel in the car has almost made Ren Laifeng unbearable. Fortunately, the reconnaissance platoon played a role at the critical moment.
According to the exact news that came from the stunned side: There is a Japanese army oil warehouse in Huailai County, 20 miles north of Sangyuan Town, and 100,000 catties of high-quality fuel are stored in the warehouse! If all the 100,000 catties of fuel are brought over and taken away, it is estimated that the entire fleet will not have to worry about fuel in the next two or three months.
There is only one security brigade in Sangyuan Town, and the devil did not send anyone to garrison here. There are more than 100 devils stationed in Huailai County. Judging by the size of the numbers, it was probably a squadron.
The Japanese army was hierarchical. The main function of field divisions and regiments and their subordinate wings and brigades is to conduct operations, and they are the strongest in terms of weaponry and personnel organization. However, the main function of the troops stationed in counties and towns is to maintain local law and order, and their combat capability is much worse under the same establishment.
Ren Laifeng estimates that the function of this devil squadron in Huailai County is probably to guard the fuel warehouse, right? Anyway, the fuel in this warehouse is bound to be obtained at any time!
The troops were already sleepy after such a long journey, so Ren Laifeng ordered the troops to camp on the spot outside the town, light a fire and cook. He planned to let the soldiers have enough to eat and nourish their spirits, and then go to Huailai County to grab fuel. This is called sharpening the knife and not cutting wood.
The stove has been put on here, the pot has been made into water, the guards have come to report, and the captain of the security brigade of Sangyuan Town has brought people!
Security Captain? What is he here for? Do you want to come to war? Ren Laifeng stood up and told the herald: Order the third company to take the guys and take a look with me! The company commander of the third company is still in charge of the wind, and it is not convenient for anyone to call his own troops. As soon as the assembly horn was blown, the soldiers of the third company immediately stood in line with their guns, and followed the battalion commander to meet the so-called security brigade.
The clothes worn by the security brigade are different from Yang Hongbiao's puppet second division. The clothes of the puppet second division are the old-fashioned military uniforms of the Northwest Army that they used to wear, and the military uniforms of the security brigade are gray-black standard pseudo-military uniforms. The forty or fifty black dog stood in front of him, and Ren Laifeng looked cold and felt uncomfortable. What the hell is this?
"May I ask who is the commander of the national army? I am Zeng Baoquan, the captain of the security brigade of Sangyuan Town, and I have something to meet with the commander of the national army! In front of the crowd, a strong man with a short neck and a thick neck clasped his fists at the soldiers of the Third Company and shouted loudly.
None of the soldiers of the three companies who were shouted paid attention to him, and as soon as the soldiers came out, they formed a battle formation. More than 100 people were divided into multiple firing points in squads, and more than 100 black hole guns were aimed at the dozens of security guards of the Sangyuan Town Security Brigade.
The face of the security captain Zeng Bao turned white at that time, and the security guards who came with him were all dumbfounded. They also had guns in their hands, but they didn't even have the courage to raise their guns and confront the soldiers of the Flying Tiger Battalion. They just shrunk their necks and opened their frightened eyes, like chickens waiting to be slaughtered.
Ren Laifeng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh when he looked at it, is this also an army? Looking at them like this, I'm afraid they are not even as good as a group of croppers!
"You're the security captain of Mulberry Garden? Can I help you? Ren Laifeng stood in front of the team with his hands behind his back and looked at the so-called security captain in front of him with scrutinizing eyes.
"Yes, yes, my brother is Zeng Bao, the security captain of Sangyuan Town. What do you call the sir? Zeng Bao had a smile on his face.
"My surname is Ren. I don't know what Captain Zeng is here for? Do you want to meet and compete with our army? With Ren Laifeng's words, the soldiers of the third company pulled the bolt of the gun with a "bang", and the sound was neat and loud.
"No, I'm not! Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong! I don't dare to fight with your army, don't misunderstand, Commander! I'm just here to ask, do you need anything for the chiefs and the brethren? Have you eaten, sir? If you don't eat, there is a restaurant in the town, and I will set a table for the chief to drink. ”
In fact, he wanted to ask what this national army unit was doing in Sangyuan Town, whether it was here to attack Sangyuan Town. It's just that he was intimidated by Ren Laifeng's momentum, and he didn't dare to ask again.
"Ren Mou has always shared the joys and sorrows with his brothers, and Ren Mou's kindness of Captain Zeng has been understood!" Ren Laifeng paused, and just when Zeng Baoquan breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced back and suddenly said, "Since Captain Zeng is so gracious, please prepare some meat for our officers and soldiers." The brothers had a hard time traveling and needed some meat to replenish their nutrition. ”
Eat some meat for nutrition? The security captain was full of bitter water, and his face was deformed. Sangyuan is a small town, and there are not many families in the town, so it's no problem to invite Ren Laifeng or a dozen more officers to have a good meal, but if you want to invite these hundreds or thousands of people to eat meat, it will cost a lot of money!
But today he took the initiative to send it to the door, and Chief Ren put all his words out, did he dare to agree to protect it? Gritted his teeth and tried to squeeze out a smile. Obviously I want to cry and have to pretend to laugh, Captain Zeng feels that it is more difficult to deal with the commander of this national army than to deal with Taijun!
"It should be, it should be. Wait, sir, wait, and I'll go back and prepare meat for the brethren. Zeng Baoquan didn't dare to stay longer after agreeing, so he excused himself to go back and prepare to run back to the town with people.
Looking at the embarrassed back of the security team, Ren Laifeng looked up to the sky and laughed happily, because he was forced to transfer the depressed aura that had accumulated in his heart and swept away.
I don't know where the security captain came from, but an hour later, he led the security team to drive two big cars. Two carts, one each for pork and mutton. Ren Laifeng asked the cooking team to accept the car meat, and he didn't give money. Le Hehe shook hands with Zeng Baoquan and said thank you, and the security captain was as happy as if he was something.
Because they had to cook and eat meat, the troops delayed in Sangyuan Town for half a day, and waited until three o'clock in the afternoon after this nutritious lunch. Look down at the watch, look up at the sky, let the wind give orders, and the troops will be pulled out!
