After all, the creditor still found the door, the station of the 227th Regiment of the Jin Sui Army is near Qinshui, not close to Taiyue Village, it is impossible for the regiment commander Bao Song to come in person, this time it is Staff Officer Liu of the 227th Regiment who is responsible for collecting debts, and I don't know how to inquire about the location of the headquarters of the new third regiment, and rushed over with five or six people.

Anyway, they are also friendly troops, and the soldiers in charge of receiving them are very enthusiastic.

It's a pity that neither Han Feng, the head of the New Third Regiment, nor Xu Zilin, the political commissar, did not see this Staff Officer Liu, and I heard the soldiers of the New Third Regiment say that the regiment commander and political commissar went to the headquarters to study, and it would take a while to come back.

This Staff Officer Liu should also be a talent, at least a talent in debt collection, otherwise Bao Song would not have entrusted him with a heavy task.

Staff Officer Liu probably understands the means of debt collection since ancient times, and he is not arrogant or impatient, "Since Commander Han and Political Commissar Xu are not there, then I have to harass your army for a few days and wait for the two commanders to return."

Saying that, Staff Officer Liu really stayed in Taiyue Village.

However, time flickered, and it was only a day, and Staff Officer Liu couldn't sit still.

Originally, he was also a thoughtful character, and he originally wanted to stay at the headquarters of the New Third Regiment, even if he didn't want to return equipment and food, at least he could take a look at the training of the New Third Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the situation of the troops on weekdays.

But early in the morning, Staff Officer Liu and the others couldn't see the shadow of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and even the soldier Xiao Chen, who entertained them, just hurriedly chatted with Staff Officer Liu and the others and left.

Staff Officer Liu was puzzled and took his subordinates down to see what the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were doing on weekdays.

It turns out that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are doing farm work in their spare time!

What kind of intelligence is this?

Staff Officer Liu was a little helpless, judging from the battles in the Linfen area, the new third regiment of the Eighth Route Army should be a team with strong combat effectiveness.

In his mind, shouldn't such a team be derived from constant military training on weekdays? Could it be that the combat effectiveness of the Eighth Route Army was all due to farm work?

This...... Maybe that's really the case, Staff Officer Liu kept this matter in his heart.

Of course, this is not the reason why Staff Officer Liu couldn't survive just one day in Taiyue Village.

Staff Officer Liu originally told his subordinates when he was on the road that this time he went to the headquarters of the New Third Regiment to collect debts, and most of them would not be smooth sailing.

So what to do? It's easy to say, just eat their Eighth Route Army, drink their Eighth Route Army's, and when they are impatient, they have no choice but to pay back the equipment and food they owe.

But if breakfast didn't land, it didn't matter, Staff Officer Liu and the others were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they waited for lunch for a long time, but they couldn't wait.

Staff Officer Liu wanted to ask for food directly, but he also noticed that the other soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were the same, they didn't eat breakfast, and they still worked in the field all morning under the sun.

At this moment, Staff Officer Liu had nothing to say, he had long heard that the Eighth Route Army was having a hard time, but he didn't expect that it had been so hard.

Not long after, an old man came to the regiment headquarters, and everyone called him Lao Song, and Staff Officer Liu heard that this was the head of the logistics department of the New Third Regiment, who was specially responsible for the supply of food, weapons and equipment for the New Third Regiment.

Staff Officer Liu couldn't help but be hungry, so he asked, "Comrade Song, you are the head of the logistics department of the New Third Regiment, right?" ”

Lao Song nodded, looking at Staff Officer Liu and his entourage dressed up in Guojun, there was some displeasure between his eyebrows, but he just remembered Political Commissar Xu's explanation, and still responded quietly.

Staff Officer Liu said: "I heard that the food and equipment problems of the new Third Regiment are all in charge of Lao Song, I see that these Eighth Route Army brothers didn't eat breakfast, so they went to work in the field, and they haven't eaten dinner until now, so how can the brothers' bodies stand it for a long time?" ”

Lao Song also heard about Staff Officer Liu and his entourage coming to collect debts, and he said with a dark face: "Staff Officer Liu, when you say this, do you think that my logistics department is not good?" ”

Staff Officer Liu said with a smile: "Liu doesn't mean this, I'm just a little strange, the new third regiment of the Eighth Route Army was so high-spirited when it captured the Linfen area, why can't even eat breakfast, and lunch has been delayed until now." ”

"Are you hungry?"

“……”

Staff Officer Liu nodded a little embarrassedly, and his belly rang very appropriately, "I'm used to eating breakfast, and if I don't eat this meal, I'll be hungry." ”

Lao Song sighed and said, "If you don't say that your army is rich, breakfast is a luxury for our Eighth Route Army."

Staff Officer Liu, you see, all our soldiers are farming in the fields, why? It's because there is no food to eat in the group, and these days, even the wild vegetables are not easy to dig! ”

Staff Officer Liu was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Minister Song, I heard Political Commissar Xu say that when the county towns around Linfen were breached, there was a lot of grain in the granary, why couldn't the brothers of the New Third Regiment even eat breakfast?" ”

When he said these words, Staff Officer Liu muttered in his heart: His soldiers can't even eat breakfast, where will they get the food to pay off their debts!

Sure enough, Lao Song was helpless: "You also know what kind of team our Eighth Route Army is, there is a lot of grain in the granary in the county, but we have to hand over the public first, and secondly, there are so many poor people in the county, and the people in the surrounding villages are digging wild vegetables and gnawing bark all the year round, and they haven't even eaten rice.

But don't worry, when the soldiers plant this crop, as soon as the harvest is harvested, the regiment will have plenty of food.

It's just that I always hear Political Commissar Xu talking these days, saying that he still owes people 700 stone of grain! Just wait for this stubble to ripen. ”

Staff Officer Liu: ......

He seemed to understand a little, seeing what this meant by the new third regiment, which was to prepare for the harvest of this stubble crop, and then return the grain to the 227th regiment.

Oh my God, when do you have to wait?

But the hardships of the life of the Eighth Route Army in front of him Staff Officer Liu are also very clear, these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who kill devils without blinking an eye during the battle, when they are farming in the field at this moment, they look like authentic peasants!

The back of the hot earth is steaming, and the back is scorching in the sky, and the reclaimed wasteland and the swarthy skin of the whole body cannot be faked at all.

When the lunch was finally delivered to the table of Staff Officer Liu and his party by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

Staff Officer Liu and the others were even more dumbfounded, there were no four dishes and one soup, not even a little hard staple food, a bowl of gruel that could almost shine their own shadow, plus half a bowl of vegetables, looking green, but not vegetables, all wild vegetables dug from the mountains, I don't know if I can eat them, anyway, in the words of the Eighth Route Army, as long as there is no poison, it can be swallowed in the stomach, plus a little oil star, it will kill people if they eat bitter in their mouths.

Several subordinates frowned when they ate, and some even wanted to scold their mothers.

Even when the 227th Regiment was the hardest, it was not so exaggerated! At least one full meal a day, there is still a military pay.

I heard that the Eighth Route Army still does not pay military salaries, and even military uniforms and military shoes are not issued, if such a situation is really changed to the 227th Regiment of the Jinsui Army, it is estimated that the entire regiment will not be paid for three days, and all the people will run away.

Staff Officer Liu took his subordinates to the compound of the regiment headquarters to take a look, where they were like old peasants who were taking refuge under the eaves in the corner of the courtyard, and the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army who were sucking the gruel in the bowls were eating happily one by one.

Staff Officer Liu took a look and realized that these soldiers were just drinking a bowl of gruel, and even wild vegetables were only seen in three or two pieces of porridge that could shine on people's shadows.

At this moment, Staff Officer Liu and his entourage have nothing to say, and the food they eat is obviously much better than that of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army!

Honestly returned to the regiment headquarters and chewed on the unpalatable meal.

Staff Officer Liu, who was originally full of confidence to collect debts, was a little unbearable for a while.

finally got into the evening, and it was gruel as usual, and the two meals a day were all gruel, who could stand it?

Staff Officer Liu and his entourage were still ready to rely on the new three regiments, eating and drinking them, until Political Commissar Xu paid back all the equipment and food owed, but now it seems that this plan will not work.

When he was sleeping, Staff Officer Liu and his entourage were even more eager to cry without tears.

It's just a little straw on top of the hardboard bed, why don't you even have a little covering?

A subordinate angrily rushed to the bunk of other soldiers to take a look, good guy, the bed board paved with bluestone slabs, there were some straws scattered on it, and the soldiers took off their tattered clothes and spread them on it, resting Zhengxiang.

This time, Staff Officer Liu saw the truth, the strength of the new three regiments had doubled, and the problem of bedding could not be solved for a while, so it could only be settled temporarily, but fortunately, the weather warmed up, and it was not too cold, and it was okay to survive for a few days.

So there was a scene that Staff Officer Liu and others saw.

Survive the night!

The next day, Staff Officer Xu kept silent about equipment and food, and directly took his team to say goodbye.

And just after Staff Officer Xu and his entourage left with their front feet, smoke rose from the back feet of Taiyue Village, and Lao Song Le said to the soldiers of the cooking class: "Everyone is gone, add breakfast today, cook dozens of catties of millet, and add some wild vegetables to make the porridge a little fragrant." ”

"Gotcha!"

At breakfast, the soldiers crackled their own dishes and chopsticks, and Staff Officer Liu and his entourage also became the talking point of the soldiers at breakfast, and they couldn't stop laughing when they talked about it.

Han Feng and Xu Zilin also returned from Xiaoyue Village immediately afterward.

What went to the headquarters to study, it was all bluffing, but it was just to deceive the creditor Staff Officer Liu and his party.

Sitting down in the regiment headquarters again, feeling the feeling of not paying off the debt, Han Fengle said: "Lao Xu, don't say it, the feeling of not paying the debt is really good." ”

Xu Zilin rolled her eyes, "With such a batch of equipment, plus seven hundred stone of grain, the commander wants to knock you on the bamboo pole, I don't think this Bao Song will stop." ”

Han Feng said with a smile: "It's over, the so-called "drag" word trick if the debt is not repaid, anyway, our debt is the uncle, if it drags on for a long time, any change may happen, Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou and borrowed it but did not pay it back, this is the reason, between us and Guojun, maybe there will be a falling out at some point."

Besides, this matter is your own master, with a red mouth and white teeth, why should that kid Bao Song let me admit it? ”

Xu Zilin: ......

She looked at Han Feng's proud "villain face", and her teeth itched with hatred.
