Chapter Seventy-Three: Good News
At the end of January 1938.
The headquarters of the 120th Division, the core personnel of the 120th Division, such as He Long, Zhou Shidi, Guan Xiangying, Xiao Ke, and the brigade commanders and regiment commanders of the 120th Division, were all there. It can be said that the senior commanders of the combat units of the 120 Division were present.
"Comrades, time flies, and more than two months have passed since the fall of Taiyuan, during which the main forces of the Kuomintang retreated south and our Eighth Route Army disappeared. This little devil can be said to have lived quite a nourishing life. I think it's time for our 120th Division to make some movement for the little devils, so that the little devils also know that there are still anti-Japanese teams on the northwest border of Shanxi, as long as we have us in the little devils, don't think about being steadfast. This can be regarded as He Long's opening remarks. At that time, the general background was that the Japanese army had shifted the focus of its strategic offensive to Xuzhou, and the Kuomintang stationed in southern Jinnan took the opportunity to counterattack Taiyuan. Therefore, the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army instructed the 120th Division to make some moves to cooperate with friendly forces.
As soon as He Long finished speaking, a regiment commander immediately asked: "Division commander, that means we can fight the little devils again??" The regimental commander's eyes were full of anticipation.
"Yes, that's right. Today, we have summoned all of you to the division headquarters mainly for two things: the first thing is to inform you that there will be a combat mission soon, so that you can make pre-battle preparations and mobilization work, and the second is to distribute some ammunition to your regiments."
As soon as He Long finished speaking, all the regiment leaders below had a green light in their eyes, and their eyes were like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman with a graceful figure, and a gambler seeing himself shake out three sixes.
"Division commander, when exactly will the battle begin??" The regiment commander was already a little impatient, and he couldn't wait to send troops to attack the devil right now.
"Ten days. You all go back and prepare for it these days. The exact time will be notified in advance. This time, let's also let the devils in the northwest of Jin have a good New Year. ”
As soon as everyone below heard that they could fight devils again, their emotions were high, including Feng Yipeng, the head of the 735th Regiment.
The most important thing of this meeting was finished by division commander He Long, and then the commanders of each regiment began to report one by one on the current situation of each regiment and the summary of the work of each regiment at the present stage.
The meeting lasted more than two hours.
At the end of the meeting, the regimental commanders went to collect their regimental ammunition. It is true that only the commanders of each regiment held this meeting, but these regiment commanders did not come to the division headquarters alone, they were accompanied by security personnel, and the division headquarters only distributed ammunition this time, and the quantity was not too much, not as much as everyone imagined. Basically, the people who came with the regiment commander were able to get all the ammunition away.
"Feng Yipeng, you stay for a while"
Feng Yipeng just got up and prepared to go with the other regiment commanders to collect ammunition. When He Long first called Feng Yipeng, Feng Yipeng was full of doubts, pointed at himself and asked He Long, "Commander, are you calling me?" ”
He Long nodded at Feng Yipeng, "That's right, you stay for a while, I have other things to talk to you about." ”
Feng Yipeng, who had just stood up, sat down again.
Just now, the room was full of people, and now there are only He Long, Zhou Shidi, and Feng Yipeng left.
He Long saw Feng Yipeng, who was sitting opposite him, with a nervous expression: "Why are you so nervous, is it possible that I and the chief of staff will eat you?" ”
Can Feng Yipeng not be nervous? His current situation is exactly the same as Shen Yunjie when Qin Ping talked to Shen Yunjie about things. Feng Yipeng told He Long that he was not nervous, but in fact, he was still nervous in his heart. The reason why Feng Yipeng was nervous was only because Feng Yipeng didn't know why He Long wanted to leave him alone.
"We're keeping you here mainly to ask you how well your recruits are training. There is no certain combat ability. If it really doesn't work, your regiment won't have to participate in this operation. The 735th Regiment is now in a special situation, and we will not hold it accountable if it does not participate in the operation. The reason why He Long said this was because He Long also knew that more than half of the soldiers in the 735th Regiment were recruits who had just joined the army for more than a month, and He Long was afraid that the 735th Regiment had no combat effectiveness now, and on the other hand, he was more worried about the soldiers of the 735th Regiment. Fighting is not child's play, He Long doesn't want these recruits to go up to die in vain.
Feng Yipeng became even more nervous than just now after hearing this, and Feng Yipeng's first reaction in his heart was: "If this combat mission really doesn't allow the 735th Regiment to participate, it is better to let me die now, no, I must win this opportunity."
"Teacher, don't worry. The recruits of our regiment have already been trained, and there is absolutely no problem at all. You just have to rest assured that we can arrange tasks for our regiment, and the 735th regiment will guarantee the completion of every task! Feng Yipeng swore to He Long as promised.
I'm afraid that only a fool would believe what Feng Yipeng said just now, but it's a pity that He Long is not that fool. "Let me tell you, Feng Yipeng, now is not the time to slap a swollen face and become fat."
"Teacher, look at what you said, how can I slap a swollen face and become fat? You don't know the combat effectiveness of our regiment, when did the 735th Regiment disappoint you, the division commander?? "Feng Yipeng doesn't care if he is a fat man or not, or if he can't slap his face. The most important thing for Feng Yipeng now is to win this opportunity, and nothing else matters.
Seeing that Feng Yipeng was so persistent, He Long couldn't say anything, "Okay, in this case, the 735th Regiment is normally engaged in battle, but I said ugly that in the front, if you dare to drop the chain for me at a critical moment, don't blame me, and then turn my face and don't recognize people." At this moment, He Long still had doubts about the combat effectiveness of the 735th Regiment.
"Division Commander, don't worry, if it is true that the 735th Regiment has caused heavy losses, I, Feng Yipeng, are willing to let the division commander fall." Feng Yipeng was full of confidence on the surface at this time, but he was flustered inside. To tell the truth, what is the combat effectiveness of the 735th Regiment now, Feng Yipeng has no bottom in his heart, and in order to fight for this combat opportunity, Feng Yipeng can't take care of so much.
"In this way, Feng Yipeng, if you have any difficulties in the 735th Regiment now, you can raise them in front of me and the chief of staff, and we will see if we can help you solve these difficulties." It is not difficult to see that He Long still cares about his warriors.
"Really? Can the division commander add some more machine guns and rifles to our regiment?? ”
"No," as soon as Feng Yipeng finished saying his needs, He Long immediately replied to Feng Yipeng with two words.
"Division commander, didn't you just say that you would help our regiment solve difficulties? ? How did you refuse so decisively?? Teacher, your face has become faster than turning a book??? ”
"I really blame me for this, how do I know that your kid kicked his nose in the face?? How dare you open your mouth?? It's really not good, you see how many guns I'm worth, why don't you just take me and sell it for a few guns?? ”
"Commander, why do you think you keep joking with me??"
"You're kidding me first, okay???"
Even so, Feng Yipeng didn't give up this opportunity, and began to retreat, "If you don't have guns, can you give us more ammunition for the 735th Regiment??" "In the division commander's place, only if the skin is thick enough can there be meat to eat, otherwise let alone meat, you can't even drink soup, Feng Yipeng has a deep understanding of this. Feng Yipeng, who is so shameless, is like two people in normal times.
"I'm really convinced of you kid, I really regret that I shouldn't have opened this mouth just now, and the word self-inflicted is probably me." Hey, don't say it, He Long really eats Feng Yipeng's set. Who called He Long's soft-heartedness?
"Then division commander, did you promise me more ammunition??"
He Long had no choice but to nod helplessly.
"Thank you, teacher, the living bodhisattva of great compassion and compassion for saving the suffering and saving the suffering, that is what you are talking about, teacher."
"Alright, don't put a high hat on me in this stinking poverty. I'll give you more boxes of bullets, but don't you go around yelling at me, do you hear?? ”
"Division commander, please rest assured, I, Feng Yipeng, am notoriously strict."
"Pull it down! I think you're notoriously thick-skinned. ”
"Then if the division commander has nothing else to do, I'll leave first."
He Long said to Feng Yipeng in a joking tone, "Hurry up and get out, I just left you redundantly"
Feng Yipeng took He Long's approval slip and came to the quartermaster department of the division headquarters with the guards who came with him.
At this time, there were only eight boxes of bullets left at the door of the quartermaster department, and the chief of the quartermaster department was standing in front of the ammunition box waiting for Feng Yipeng, leaving only Feng Yipeng who did not receive the ammunition, and Feng Yipeng was considered to have completed the task after receiving his ammunition quartermaster.
After Feng Yipeng saw the ammunition on the place, the first thing he said asked the head of the quartermaster department: "I said, Lao Zhang, why are there only eight boxes of ammunition left here??" ”
"What do you say?? Each regiment is eight boxes, and now you are left with one regiment that has not been collected, and I have eight boxes left here, right?? ”
"No, the division commander promised me to give me two more boxes, and our regiment should give ten boxes."
"You can pull it quickly, right, you are handsome?? Why did the division commander give you two more boxes?? ”
"You don't believe it??" Feng Yipeng handed his approval slip to the head of the quartermaster department.
The director of the quartermaster department took the approval slip and carefully read it, and looked at it carefully, and it was really as Feng Yipeng said, and it was indeed written on the approval slip of ten boxes.
Feng Yipeng was smug on the side, "How is it??" What do you think?? I said, the division commander promised to give us two more boxes, but you still don't believe it. It's clearly written on the approval slip. Don't tell me you can't tell the difference between these eight characters and the cross. ”
The quartermaster was so strange, "It's really evil, I said Lao Feng, you shouldn't have made some shady deal with the division commander, right??" Did you promise the division commander to catch a Japanese girl for the division commander to come back?? Of course, the last sentence is that the chief of the quartermaster department is joking, don't take it seriously, how can He Long be interested in Japanese girls, people are just chatting and farting.
"Don't ask so much, it's not good to know too much," the head of the quartermaster department joked first, and Feng Yipeng had no choice but to accompany him to joke.
Just kidding, since Feng Yipeng's approval slip was clearly written, the head of the quartermaster department had to issue ammunition to Feng Yipeng according to the amount on the approval slip. The head of the quartermaster department ordered his soldiers to take out two more boxes of ammunition from the warehouse and make up ten boxes for Feng Yipeng.
Feng Yipeng looked at the warehouse in the courtyard with his feet.
"Don't look at it, you won't be able to pull out your eyes if you look at it for a while," said the chief of the quartermaster department while deliberately blocking Feng Yipeng's view.
Feng Yipeng glanced at the head of the quartermaster department, "Look at your stingy appearance." Let's see if there is any less. ”
By this time, the other two boxes had already been moved out. The head of the quartermaster pointed to the ten boxes of bullets and said to Feng Yipeng, "Ten boxes, all of them are here." After saying that, he quickly ordered his soldiers to close the gate of the courtyard quickly, and he quickly left this place. The Chief of the Quartermaster was also forced to do so, and you must know that these regimental commanders see ammunition like a weasel sees a chicken. Have you ever seen a weasel in the world that doesn't care about chickens?
In an instant, Feng Yipeng and his own guards were left at the gate of the compound of the Quartermaster Department, as well as these ten boxes of ammunition.
Feng Yipeng said to himself, "Hey, this old Zhang didn't give me a chance at all." "Feng Yipeng can only return to the 735th Regiment with these ten boxes of ammunition now.
