Five days later.

Nanyang Village, a small mountain village located at the intersection of Hengqu County, Qin County and Yangcheng County.

With the sound of roosters crowing in the dawn, the village of more than 100 families began to become lively in the sparse smoke.

When the sun's rays crossed the top of the mountain in the east, in the open space outside the village, groups of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army also began their morning exercises.

This is the temporary camp of a column of special agents.

……

With a yawn, Zhao Shixun rubbed his sleepy eyes, and then pushed open the door and walked out.

Stretching comfortably, looking at the peaceful village in the morning mist, Zhao Shixun took a deep breath of air with the smell of firewood and grass, and then slowly walked to the well in the courtyard.

Untying the rope and lowering the bucket into the well, he skillfully shook the rope a few times, and then shook the roller vigorously to lift the heavy bucket up.

Untied the bucket and set it aside, Zhao Shixun washed his face with the ice ballast well water inside.

For a moment, a bone-piercing coldness entered his limbs, sweeping away the last trace of tiredness.

After washing his face briefly, he wiped the water droplets from his neck, and then began to play Xingyi boxing, which he was best at, in the courtyard.

Opening and closing, moving his fists at will, and with regular breathing and breathing, Zhao Shixun didn't practice for a while and became feverish.

Just as he was practicing up, a few abrupt coughs suddenly came from outside the hospital.

"I didn't see it, your boxing skills are not bad for people who have drunk foreign ink, I thought you could only dance with knives and guns."

Leaning against the chest-high stone wall, Yang Chenghu raised his eyebrows and looked at each other, as if he had discovered a new continent.

"It's just a matter of physical fitness, and there's nothing good or bad about it."

After taking a few deep breaths to adjust his heartbeat, Zhao Shixun slowly sank into the dantian and put away his movements.

Quickly untied the towel around his neck, Zhao Shixun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and then walked quickly to the other party.

After watching Yang Chenghu salute a standard military salute, Zhao Shixun enthusiastically reached out and shook the other party.

"It turns out that Brother Yang is back, I haven't seen you for many days, your body is recovering, right?"

Hearing this, Yang Chenghu suddenly coughed in embarrassment. Remembering that he still owed the other party a big favor, Yang Chenghu raised his hand and patted the thigh that was already intact, and then looked at the other party and said with a big grin:

"It's just a small injury...... It's already much better. Last time, I would like to thank Captain Zhao for drawing his sword and helping ....... ”

"Alas......! Brother Yang is polite, everyone is a brother in Paoze, and he will see him when he says thank you. ”

……

The words were closed, and seeing that Yang Chenghu seemed to have something on his mind, Zhao Shixun took the initiative to ask:

"Brother Yang came here so early, not just to say thank you to Zhao, is there something wrong?"

was asked by Zhao Shixun, Yang Chenghu's old face was slightly hot, and he suddenly coughed a few times unconsciously.

"Ahem...... it's nothing, just stop by to see how the brothers of the independent detachment are settled, and if there is any need."

"Huh...... Thank you Brother Yang for your trouble. Dozens of us are very satisfied to have a place to rest and rest here. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Shixun suddenly sounded something.

"By the way, I heard that Chief of Staff Xue led a team to look for you the day before yesterday, did you meet him?"

Hearing this, Yang Chenghu nodded.

Looking around, Yang Chenghu suddenly whispered to Zhao Shixun and Yile:

"I heard you got a ninety-two rifle?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun immediately glanced at Yang Chenghu.

Secretly thinking about the other party's thoughts, Zhao Shixun nodded lightly.

"That's right, when we broke through from Lishan Town, we snatched a cannon and a few shells from ......the devil when we broke through."

"Oh...... so there must be some of you who use this thing, right?"

Just as Yang Chenghu was asking tentatively again, Zhao Shixun's expression suddenly took a 180-degree turn.

"Excuse me, excuse me, ....... We're not going to use this stuff either, so we're going to do some research when we get back. ”

"Forehead ......"

Looking at Yang Chenghu with an embarrassed face, Zhao Shixun felt a little unhappy in his heart.

Since the independent detachment got this 92 infantry gun, in just a few days, this is already the second wave of people to come to attack their own gun.

Three days ago, when the independent detachment had just come to Nanyang Village, Xue Liqun learned that Yang Chenghu led the team to besiege a nearby stronghold, and actually came to ask him for artillery directly in the name of a column, and also said that all the seizures should be returned to the public is the military discipline of the Eighth Route Army, so that he should not engage in small hills, but be broad-minded, and the angry Zhao Shixun almost scolded his mother on the spot.

You must know that in the face of the Japanese puppet army artillery tower that is almost built on the kang head of his base, this small cannon is a life-saving thing. In the absence of artillery, strongholds can often only be filled by human lives.

Besides, when the first column left itself in Shenquan Village to fight guerrillas, in the face of the wolf-like enemies around them, they wanted nothing, and the whole thing was called every day and the earth.

The first column gave nothing except for a useless number.

Now that I finally grabbed a guy thing that I can take advantage of, I have to hand it over for public use if I don't have a hot hand in my hand, why!

As a result, after some arguing, Zhao Shixun refused Xue Liqun's request on the grounds that the artillery lacked parts.

……

However, although he was very unhappy at this time, Zhao Shixun did not say too much about the veteran in front of him who had fought side by side. After all, the food, drink and Lazar he have eaten and drunk here in the past two days have been provided by Yang Chenghu, and he is not too bad to give face to others.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun hesitated for a moment, then changed his attitude and said slowly:

"Brother, it's not that I'm reluctant to give it to you, but we just grabbed this thing, and I'm afraid we have to wait to use it proficiently."

Sure enough, Zhao Shixun's move choked Yang Chenghu, who originally planned to go straight to the topic. After a while, Yang Chenghu swallowed back the words that came to his lips in a daze.

With his mouth open and a few embarrassed laughs, Yang Chenghu could only nod with understanding.

"That's, that'...... This thing really has to be practiced well, after all, cannonballs are very expensive...... ”

……

Ten minutes later, seeing his battalion commander approaching the courtyard of the battalion headquarters with a cold face, Xie Gouzi instantly realized something, and hurriedly followed the other party into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, Yang Chenghu angrily took off the box cannon and threw it on the table.

"Damn ......, a stinky Kuomintang who eats Lao Tzu doesn't count, and he still puts it on the score!"

Hearing this, looking at Yang Chenghu, who was unhappy, Xie Gouzi hurriedly poured a glass of water for the other party.

"I said battalion commander, this Captain Zhao directly rejected you?!"

……

Seeing that the other party had a dark face and didn't speak, Xie Gouzi hurriedly asked again:

"Is that the other party's asking price is too high?"

……

Seeing that Yang Chenghu still didn't speak, Xie Gouzi was also a little blindsided.

Looking at each other, Xie Gouzi suddenly asked in a low voice.

"I said battalion commander, you won't mention anything about ......."

Just as he was about to ask a few words, Yang Chenghu suddenly slapped the table.

"That's it......, I can't bear the child to catch the wolf, and I don't believe it! ……。 ”

"Dog!"

"Alas!"

"Let the cooking team make a few dishes with meat, and then open a few canned devils we have captured, and give me a good order at noon."

Speaking of this, Yang Chenghu got up and walked to a dilapidated cabinet, opened it and took out two jars of mud-sealed Fenjiu.

"Battalion commander, are you going to marry a daughter-in-law?"

Seeing that Yang Chenghu took out the two jars of baby Fenjiu given to him by the commander, Xie Gouzi licked his lips, and his eyes were worth it for a while.

"Marry a ....... You go to the station of the independent detachment now, tell their captain and instructor, and say that I, Yang Chenghu, will invite them to dinner at noon!

In addition, you tell the cooking team to let him make some fine grain noodles and serve them with the dishes! ”

Hearing this, he was stunned, and then the dog immediately understood everything with a smile.

"Okay...... battalion commander, don't worry, I will arrange it properly."

Just when Xie Gouzi was about to turn around and go out, he suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly trotted in front of Yang Chenghu and whispered:

"Battalion commander, I forgot to tell you something. As soon as it was dawn this morning, Chief of Staff Xue returned to the headquarters of the first column with a few soldiers. ”

"What? Chief of Staff Xue is gone? ”

"Yes...... his face was ugly when he left, and I didn't dare to stop him."

……

Hearing that Yan realized something, Yang Chenghu's brows furrowed.

"Did he leave anything behind when he left?"

"I left ......, saying that I asked you to inform the people of the independent detachment, and said that the column would send a telegraph soldier back in a few days, so that they should not be in a hurry to return to the base area first, and stay in this place and wait for the telegraph soldier sent by the column."

Hearing this, Yang Chenghu was not surprised, and he also knew the news that the independent detachment had captured a Japanese military radio station.

As for this advanced communications equipment, including the independent detachment and the special service battalion, although everyone looked at it one by one, no one would use it.

Therefore, after discussing with Zhou Yu, Zhao Shixun planned to ask a column to send a telegraph soldier to the independent detachment.

……

"Oh...... then you can bring Chief of Staff Xue's words to Captain Zhao and them. Remember, get it word for word. ”

"Yes!"

……

At about nine o'clock in the morning, it was located in a side room in the courtyard of the temporary station of the independent detachment.

Sitting on the chair with his legs crossed, Zhao Shixun looked at Shao Mengru's busy back, slightly distracted.

After this crisis, Shao Mengru's attitude towards Zhao Shixun has finally changed a lot.

Perhaps because the other party rescued himself from the brink of death several times, Shao Mengru's hatred for Zhao Shixun has weakened a lot. Although the two sides have not taken the initiative to communicate, at least Shao Mengru's face when she looks at Zhao Shixun is no longer frosty in the past, and she is not refusing Zhao Shixun's concern for her.
