Chapter Forty-Eight: Return, Response.
"Someone! Give me a careful inspection, and don't let go of any suspicious details......! ”
The second lieutenant of the puppet army obviously didn't intend to buy the Shao family's account, and directly called the soldiers around him to go up and check.
Seeing a few puppet soldiers walking leisurely towards him with figure-eight steps, Lao Wu's brows furrowed, and his right hand was quietly put into the placket .......
"Brother Li, come to me."
At this moment, a gentle female voice came from one of the elaborately decorated carriages in the convoy.
When Li Jingang heard this, he immediately trotted over.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, the satin curtain on the carriage was gently pulled open, and Li Jingang hurriedly listened to it when he saw this.
……
After a while, Li Jingang ran to the second lieutenant of the puppet army again with a smile on his face, leaned over slightly and said:
"Boss! The car was full of some mountain goods, most of which were the private goods of Miss Shao and the master. Some things can't be opened easily, so make it easier for you. ”
While speaking, Li Jingang secretly stuffed a large stack of military tickets into the pocket of the second lieutenant of the puppet army.
Military stamps were a compulsory currency issued by the Japanese in the occupied territories, and restricted goods such as kerosene, western medicines, and industrial goods could be purchased from Japanese-owned trading houses. Most of these things cannot be produced in China itself, and they can be sold for a lot of money on the black market.
Sure enough, this stack of military tickets immediately played a big role, and the second lieutenant of the puppet army glanced at it, and his cold face immediately changed to a smile.
"Oops...... Brother is polite, since it is the carriage of Shao Mansion, it is a friend of the imperial army, how can we not give face. ”
"Alas...... the bunnies are done! Don't rummage around! A bunch of things that don't have long eyes, get back to me! ”
Touching the military ticket in his pocket, the second lieutenant of the puppet army smiled with his big yellow teeth, and shouted to his subordinates to finish the inspection.
Just when the puppet soldiers were slowly withdrawing, a ghost soldier suddenly walked out of the outpost, and happened to see a convoy parked in front of the city gate but no one checked it, and immediately walked over with a cold face.
"Hey! What do you do? Why haven't you checked yet!? ”
Seeing the sudden appearance of the Japanese, Li Jingang's face changed, and Lao Wu in the back even held the handle of the gun in his clothes.
"Taijun is good...... this convoy is all from the Shao family, there will be no contraband, you can not check it."
The second lieutenant of the puppet army saw that the devil soldier was angry, and hurriedly ran over to explain.
"Yaga...... Bastard! Everyone who goes out of town has to be checked! This is the order of the Wing Commander! Do you want to disobey the co-captain's orders?! ”
Hearing the roar of the devil soldiers, the devils in the machine gun bunker behind set up their machine guns one after another, and the muzzles of the guns were pointed at the convoy.
"Hey...... little one doesn't dare, don't dare...... But this ....... ”
Seeing that the Japanese disagreed, the second lieutenant of the puppet army wiped the sweat on his head and smiled helplessly at Li Jingang.
Seeing that the situation had reversed, Lao Wu's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, his fingers had already moved the trigger of the box cannon, and his eyes were staring at the machine gun bunker not far away, estimating the probability of a surprise attack out of the city.
Just as the puppet army was about to check with a black face, a coachman took a small wooden box from the carriage and walked up quickly.
In a tense atmosphere, Li Jingang took the box in the coachman's hand and walked directly forward and handed it to the ghost soldier.
"Taijun, please smile, these things are all gifts from Minkang Clinic to Taijun."
When talking about Minkang Clinic, Li Jingang deliberately said in jerky Japanese.
The angry devil soldier was startled when he saw someone coming with a box, but when he was about to get angry, he saw the contents of the box.
I saw that in the exquisite wooden box, there were six bottles of Japanese sake, as well as many of Japan's most famous toffee, canned fish, and more than a dozen boxes of Japanese cigarettes.
"Roar! Is this for me? ”
"Yes, Taijun! Please laugh! ”
"Yo Xi ......! Thou great good people! Minkang Clinic ......, and it was ...... to search and beat him to death. Friends of the Imperial Army! ”
After receiving the box full of Japanese goods, the devil soldier had a smile on his face.
As the saying goes, eating people's mouths is short and taking people's hands short, as is the case at home and abroad. The Devil Soldier is no exception.
Squinting at the goods in the box, the ghost soldier nodded with satisfaction. turned around and glared at the puppet lieutenant who was still in a daze.
"Baga......, what are you still looking at! Hurry up and open the barricade and let you go! ”
"Yes, it's Taijun, I'll let ...... go."
……
As the roadblocks were quickly removed by the puppet army, the Shao family's convoy set off again and slowly drove out of the east gate of Yuncheng. When the convoy passed through the deep city gate, Lao Wu's nervous heart finally relaxed, and unconsciously, Lao Wu felt that he was almost a little tired and collapsed.
……
In the mountains and forests east of Xia County, in the afterglow of the setting sun, a team of 22 people walked quickly through the mountains and forests.
At the head of the line was a tall man dressed in civilian clothes, carrying a 38 cover on his back, and actually carrying a crooked machine gun on his shoulder.
Under such a load, the man did not leak any fatigue, and the steps under his feet still walked to the tiger and the wind. Behind him, twenty young militiamen gritted their teeth, not daring to relax their steps at all, for fear of falling behind in the mountains and forests.
At the end of the procession, a stout man dressed in the costume of a soldier of the Eighth Route Army also ran at the rear with a crooked machine gun, and from time to time took care of the militia who were in a hurry to march.
In the vast mountains, when the last rays of light were swallowed by the mountains, the team finally saw the farmland beyond the mountains in the distance.
"Everyone rest for twenty minutes, and everyone must not use open flames or make loud noises."
With an order, the militiamen let out a long breath, and all of them fell to the ground with a poof, and they were all dressed heavily.
Although the team was small, everyone was heavily armed and even carried two machine guns! They were none other than the Shenquanzhai militia brigade that had come on a rapid march.
……
In the early morning three days ago, three soldiers of the Eighth Route Army suddenly came to Shenquan Village. They were found by the secret sentry of the militia brigade five miles away from the periphery of Shenquan Village, and after some arguing, they were taken to the Zhou family compound.
When Zhao Shixun heard the news and came out of the house, a dark shadow immediately rushed up and gave Zhao Shixun a strong bear hug.
"Sir! I want to kill you! ”
Looking at the big pillar in front of him wearing the gray cloth uniform of the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Shixun almost thought that he had recognized the wrong person.
"Big Pillar...... have you joined the Eighth Path?"
"Yes! I was fine after ten days in the rear hospital of the Eighth Route Army. Sir! The Eighth Route is a unit that really fights devils, and the officers and soldiers are equal, and the people love it. The five-body body that I admired by the big pillar threw himself to the ground, and he simply threw himself into the eight ways. Not only me, but also the Eighth Route Army! You see! ”
Hearing this, he glanced back, and Zhao Shixun saw that there were still two people in the courtyard who were looking at him with a smile, one was thin and tall with fast legs, and the other was actually Zhou Yu!
Seeing Zhao Shixun looking at him, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, stepped forward in a few steps, snapped on the spot and saluted on the spot.
"Report to the captain, Zhou Yu, a soldier of the Eighth Route Army, the big pillar is ordered to report with fast legs! Here is a handwritten letter from your superiors. ”
Slightly stunned, Zhao Shixun immediately returned a military salute and stretched out his hand to take the envelope.
The big pillar on the side saw Zhou Yu saluting Zhao Shixun, and he was also stunned for a moment, and then looked at Zhao Shixun with a look of ecstasy.
"Sir! You...... You are the captain of the Shenquanzhai Militia Brigade! My goodness, you even joined the Eight Paths?! ”
Zhao Shixun smiled slightly when he heard this, but quickly opened the envelope.
The slightly yellowed letter was opened, and Zhao Shixun found that it was actually a red-headed letter, and the signature at the bottom turned out to be the headquarters of the Jinnan Column of the Eighth Route Army.
The content of the letter is simple and clear, first of all, to commend Zhao Shixun for actively fighting during the period of leading the Shenquanzhai Militia Brigade of Hengqu County of the Eighth Route Army, inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese puppet army in Hengqu County, achieving remarkable results, and protecting the safety of the masses.
Secondly, in view of the repeated recommendations of Comrade Lao Wu of the enemy's Ministry of Labor, as well as Comrade Zhao Shixun's outstanding performance. Comrade Zhao Shixun is now officially appointed as the captain of the Eighth Route Army County Brigade in Hengqu County, Jinnan. It was placed under the jurisdiction of the guerrilla zone of the Eighth Regiment of the Jinnan Column. Comrade Zhou Yu was appointed as the deputy captain of the Hengqu County Brigade and concurrently the leader of the party group. At the same time, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, the big pillar and fast legs, were assigned to the Hengqu County Brigade.
At the end of the content is an urgent order, requiring the captain Zhao Shixun to immediately organize personnel to wait outside Wenxiao Village in Xia County after receiving the order, and the driver will pick up the intelligence officer Lao Wu and important goods, and transport the goods back to the rear hospital at all costs.
Zhao Shixun didn't care much about the previous appointment, anyway, as long as he can fight devils, the rest doesn't matter. But the urgent order behind made Zhao Shixun frown. For Zhao Shixun, Lao Wu is not only his life-saving benefactor, but also introduces himself into the road of resistance against Japan, and he respects him very much in his heart. From the content of the letter, it can be seen that Lao Wu seems to have encountered a very difficult problem.
After reading it again from beginning to end, Zhao Shixun immediately called a militiaman after putting away the envelope and asked him to ring the broken gong in the courtyard.
After a piercing gong, forty-eight militiamen quickly assembled.
Seeing that these militiamen in tattered clothes in the courtyard quickly finished forming a team, the big pillar on the side sighed in surprise.
As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. As a veteran who has fought for several years, Da Zhu can't believe his eyes!
Although the dozens of militiamen in front of him were dressed in tatters, they were dressed in a variety of ways, and they could be described as beggars. But they actually exude a murderous aura!
That's right, it's the kind of murderous aura that only veterans who have been on the battlefield with bayonets can have. Although they are still very rusty with queue training, the murderous aura is real!
To be continued, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
