Chapter 863: The World Is Too Small! (Ask for a subscription!) )
"Old man, don't the troops count the casualties after every battle, isn't that okay?"
"Hehe, those reports are fools. At that time, I was a staff officer at the regiment headquarters, and the casualties reported below were relatively accurate. But when it comes to the top, it is different, perhaps out of positive considerations, or out of some kind of military motives, anyway, the casualty figures that come out in the end are much worse than the actual figures. ”
Then the old man continued: "The troops are okay, after all, the total strength is there, although the casualty statistics are not very accurate, but there is still a figure as a reference. But the most people who die in war are not soldiers, but civilians. ”
"Civilians? Didn't civilians hide at home when they were fighting, how could there be such a large number of casualties? Xu Yinglong asked in surprise.
"Doll, you don't know this! At the time of the national war, many of our cities did not have fortifications such as city walls, so let's take this Luodian as an example! It has been six or seven hundred years since the old Luo family opened a shop here, but it has not built a decent city wall, and the little devils came in a hurry, and our Chinese troops did not have time to build fortifications at that time, so they could only rely on a large number of houses in Luodian to defend it. ”
Then the old man sighed, and said in a sad tone: "That's a miserable one! Cannonballs rained down from the sky like dumplings, and most of the people in the town collapsed before they could react. Although Luodian was a town before the war, due to its proximity to Tianhai and endless business travel, there were no less than 1,000 people coming and going every day, and the permanent population was tens of thousands, which was more than the old man's hometown. But after a war, ten rooms are empty! ”
"It's miserable enough. Was the little devil really so powerful at that time? Xu Yinglong asked again.
"Amazing, of course it's amazing, you dolls don't watch those nonsense on TV, if the little devils are really that weak, it will take eight years for us in Huaxia to defeat them. In fact, the little devils are much stronger than our Huaxia both militarily and economically, don't look at the fact that there were only more than 200,000 troops at the beginning of the war. But in terms of firepower, it's no worse than our two million. ”
"Fortunately, it was raining heavily in Daluodian, and Jiangnan was in the rainy season in August and September. Due to the heavy rain, the little devil's heavy artillery did not all reach this line, and we could only rely on grenadiers and mortars to deal with us, but they still caused huge casualties to the uncovered Chinese army. The most hateful thing is the iron king eight of the little devils, we didn't have a flat-fire gun at that time, and we couldn't destroy it. At one time, it was suppressed by armored vehicles and could not raise its head"
Seeing what the old man said with relish, although Xu Yinglong and the others didn't hear much useful information from this, they still didn't interrupt the old man.
The old man kept talking for half an hour before stopping, and during this time, Xu Yinglong had been listening carefully.
"Old man, I want to ask, has the little devil driven a large-scale project in this area after the war?" Xu Yinglong asked again.
The old man thought for a while and said, "I have moved, it seems that I have been working for more than half a year, and I happened to be injured at that time." The thigh was broken, so he stayed nearby to recuperate. ”
Xu Yinglong and the others were dazzled. He immediately asked, "Do you know what they built at that time and where the construction is now?" ”
The old man shook his head and said: "I don't know about this, didn't I have a broken leg at the time, and then I was hidden in a cellar by my wife, this is more than half a year, and I often hear my wife say that little devils often catch people crazy in this area." A lot of people are gone! ”
Xu Yinglong and the others glanced at each other, they were all disappointed, and it was easy to find a clue, but they didn't expect it to be broken like this.
"Think about it, old man. Let's see if we can think of something, we urgently need to know where the little devil built the big project back then. Xu Yinglong said.
The old man frowned and thought about it carefully, and suddenly said, "Maybe someone knows the answer you are looking for!" ”
"Who?" Xu Yinglong hurriedly asked.
His name was Huang Guangying, and he was the only son of Huang Yu, the largest cloth merchant in Luodian at that time, and the Huang family was a very powerful family in the entire Tianhai at that time. But that kid was unlucky, he was arrested by the little devil as soon as he married his daughter-in-law, and it was said that he went to repair the project. However, the Huang family is rich, and they also have a relationship, and in the end, that kid was released back and has lived until now! The old man provided a clue for Xu Yinglong and others.
"Then do you always know where this Huang Lao lives now?" Xu Yinglong hurriedly asked.
"To know is to know, but what you don't know is. That old boy doesn't know what stimulation he was under, he has been nervous since he was put back, and he spends most of his time getting sick every day, only a short time is normal, and I don't know if I can help you! The old man said.
"It's okay, let's go over and visit this Huang Lao later!" Xu Yinglong said.
"Okay, I'll read the address and you can remember it, my old man is now old and dizzy, and he can't write anymore!"
"Hehehe, whoever is old is also like this, you say we can remember!" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
The old man quickly read out a block and house number, and Xu Yinglong and the mayor Zhang beside him hurriedly wrote down the disciple.
Due to the hurry, Xu Yinglong decided to leave first, and immediately smiled and said: "Elder Wang, we came here with a mission this time, so we won't stay here longer, thank you very much for talking to us so much!" ”
"Thank you, you don't know, this person likes to chat with you young people when he is old. Let's talk about the events of the year and be nostalgic. But you young people don't want to listen to what my old man says. Take that precious grandson of my family, he is willing to listen to the affairs of officialdom and shopping malls when you tell him, and he does not object to the affairs of the children, but as soon as you tell him about these things about the war, he will be impatient. The old man complained with a smile, but from the corners of the old man's eyebrows, he could still see that he was satisfied with his grandson.
"Oh, what is your old grandson doing?" Xu Yinglong asked casually.
"Hahaha, if you want to say that my grandson is not bad, he works as a cadre in a winery in the city, it seems that he produces that health wine, what is it called Da Zhou" The old man replied.
"Da Zhou Liquor!" Xu Yinglong said.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's this Da Zhou Liquor Industry, not to mention that the kind of wine they produce is really good, my good grandson brought me a few bottles, and after drinking it, my body is getting better and better day by day, I doubt that I will have a day of rejuvenation!" The old man said with a smile.
Xu Yinglong's heart moved, the one who could bring wine home directly from the winery was definitely not an ordinary leader, it must be the senior management of the winery, plus the surname Wang, a familiar name suddenly appeared in Xu Yinglong's mind.
Immediately, Xu Yinglong asked again: "Old man, is your grandson's name Wang Hansen?" ”
"Hey! Do you know him, this doll? The old man was also surprised that Xu Yinglong could directly say his grandson's name!
"Hahaha, what a coincidence, your grandson and I are also old acquaintances, wait, I'll give him a call!" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
At this time, Wang Hansen was in a meeting, because Xu Yinglong sent five batches of puree spirit wine in a week, the raw materials of the distillery suddenly became sufficient, so Wang Hansen decided to hold an impromptu meeting to arrange the next stage of production tasks.
As soon as the meeting started, the phone rang, and he didn't plan to answer it, but the secretary told him that he was called by Xu Yinglong, and Wang Hansen had no choice but to pick it up.
"Xu Shao, I'm Wang Hansen!"
Xu Yinglong smiled and said, "What are you doing, are you in a meeting again?" ”
"Hehe, really, just opened! What are your instructions? Wang Hansen said with a smile.
"No instructions, do you know where I am now?" Xu Yinglong pretended to be mysterious and said.
"How could I have guessed that you wouldn't be in the factory, would you?" Wang Hansen said.
"No, I visited an old comrade of the Anti-Japanese War in Luodian today, I should have guessed it this time!" Xu Yinglong said with a smile.
"You're not going to be at my house, are you?" Wang Hansen said in surprise.
"Okay, I'll give the phone to your old man, you can talk to him!" After speaking, Xu Yinglong handed the phone to Mr. Wang, and at the same time, Xu Yinglong also sighed that this world is too small. (To be continued......)
