saw Liu Baosheng and Shi Mingfei suddenly walk into the office together.

Li Mingnan was stunned, how could these two people come here together, could something big happen? I couldn't help but feel nervous in my heart, and Lu Chunming was the same.

"Why are you here? What happened? Li Mingnan beckoned the two to sit down, and without waiting for them to catch their breath, he asked.

"A great thing!" Shi Mingfei stood up and said with a happy face.

"Chief, Comrade Wild Goose has purchased a batch of heavy weapons for our military region." Liu Baosheng also stood up and said excitedly, "I informed Comrade Shi Mingfei of this news, he felt that the matter was too big and had to be reported to the chief, so we rushed back together." ”

"Heavy weapons? What's in it? Li Mingnan asked casually.

"Chief, there's a cannon! Twenty eighty-two mortars, thirty heavy machine guns, and matching 2,000 rounds of artillery shells and 20,000 rounds of ammunition. Liu Baosheng said excitedly, his eyebrows fluttering.

"What?" Li Mingnan exclaimed, at the beginning, when Liu Baosheng and Shi Mingfei said that Feng Tiandong had purchased some heavy weapons for the military region, Li Mingnan really didn't care too much, thinking that it was just a matter of a few light machine guns, and felt that the two of them were making a fuss, but when he heard the type and quantity reported by Liu Baosheng, Li Mingnan began to be uncalm and stood up unconsciously.

"Are you telling the truth? , are there really so many mortars and shells? Li Mingnan stared at Liu Baosheng and asked urgently.

"Yes! That's what Comrade Wild Goose said. Liu Baosheng replied affirmatively.

"Good! Good! That's great! Li Mingnan was also excited, slapped his thigh, and shouted. Can he not be excited, now the entire military region does not have so many mortars, it is just a limited number of guns, and there are often no shells used.

If these heavy weapons purchased by Feng Tiandong are equipped with the troops, the combat effectiveness of the entire military region will be raised to a higher level.

Li Mingnan was walking back and forth in the house excitedly, and suddenly remembered something, stopped suddenly, and asked Liu Baosheng solemnly: "What did Comrade Wild Goose say, is the channel for purchasing these weapons safe, and will it affect his safety?" ”

"Please rest assured, I also asked Comrade Wild Goose about this matter, and he said that there is no problem with the channel, he will arrange everything properly, and there will be no impact on his safety." Liu Baosheng replied.

"That's good! That's it! How exactly should this batch of weapons and ammunition be handed over? Li Mingnan asked again, this is the most realistic problem.

"The handover of weapons this time is more complicated, Comrade Wild Goose said, this batch of weapons and ammunition was obtained from the Osaka Division of the Japanese Army, and it was the devil who drove a military vehicle to deliver the goods, because this time the things are more important, the Osaka Division should send troops to escort it, and when we go to pick up the goods, we must also send protection troops, so we must choose a good place and arrange a good way to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Liu Baosheng said.

"We came this time to listen to the chief's instructions and discuss a place for handover." Shi Mingfei added.

"What do you suggest Comrade Wild Goose?" Li Mingnan asked again.

Liu Baosheng thought for a while and said: "Comrade Wild Goose didn't say the specific location, he hoped that it would be arranged by the military region, and the rest was simply to tell me a plan for the military region's reference." ”

Then, Liu Baosheng told Li Mingnan about Feng Tiandong's thoughts.

"The wild goose idea is good, the specific plan, and the handover location will be decided after I report to the commander, you don't want to stay here, it's not good to delay too long, go back first, wait for the notice." Li Mingnan thought for a while and said.

Seeing that the two of them turned around to leave, Li Mingnan chased after him: "Comrade Liu Baosheng, tell Comrade Wild Goose for me that you must pay attention to safety." ”

Lu Chunming also greeted Liu Baosheng, took out a copy of "On Protracted War" written by the commander-in-chief, handed it over, and asked him to hand it over to Comrade Wild Goose.

Liu Baosheng and Shi Mingfei came and went in a hurry.

Looking at the back of the two of them leaving, Li Mingnan walked around the room a few more times, stopped and said, "Old Lu, have you noticed something?" ”

"Director, is there anything to pay attention to?" Lu Chunming asked puzzled.

"Lao Lu, this batch of heavy weapons is not a trophy, it was purchased by Comrade Wild Goose for our Jinchaji Military Region, and it costs money, but did he mention money? That's not a small amount. Li Mingnan said slowly.

"Yes, every time he raises materials for the base area, he does it regardless of the cost, and he never thinks about the return, which is rare!" Lu Chunming continued.

Li Mingnan shook his head and said, "But have you ever thought about it, he has so much money from there, hum!" Surely something has been risked again. ”

Then, Li Mingnan sighed: "Alas! Sometimes I'm really worried about him, and he's too adventurous. ”

He also said: "Lao Lu, in fact, I know very well in my heart that his adventures again and again are completely for the sake of the military region." Comrade Wild Goose is thinking about the base area, thinking about the troops, the last batch of sulfonamides, how many of our wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were saved, and that was also bought by him with the money he used to risk looting the Japanese merchants, alas! Sometimes, I can't bear to criticize him. ”

There was silence in the office.

After a while, Li Mingnan seemed to remember something, and asked strangely: "Old Lu, why did you think of giving him a copy of "On Protracted War"? ”

"He's the one who asked me for it!"

Hearing this answer, Li Mingnan nodded thoughtfully, with a relieved smile on his face.

……

Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region Headquarters.

After listening to Li Mingnan's report, Commander Nie's face agreed to be full of joy, and at the same time, there was a trace of worry: "Mingnan, this arms transaction is of such a scale, will it pose a danger to Comrade Wild Goose." ”

"yes, Mingnan." Chief of Staff Tang also interjected.

"Report to the two leaders, I also asked Comrade Liu Baosheng this question, according to him, Comrade Wild Goose will arrange everything, there is no danger." Li Mingnan replied.

"I hope so!" Commander Nie was not as optimistic as Li Mingnan, but this batch of weapons and ammunition was something urgently needed by the military region, and it was impossible for him to give it up.

After pondering for a while, Commander Nie asked again: "Comrade Mingnan, how are you going to complete the handover?" ”

"We discussed it, and in order to get rid of Comrade Wild Goose and show that this transaction has nothing to do with the Eighth Route Army outside, our enemy engineering department decided to choose a handover place in the area occupied by the devils." Li Mingnan said.

"Good! I agree, we must plan well, we must not afford to lose, this batch of weapons is too important for us. Commander Nie admonished.

"Yes!"

"I will order the special battalion of the military region to assist you, the handover site must be well chosen, the plan must be thorough, and no mistakes will be allowed; The comrades who receive the goods must all be dressed as ordinary people, and the devils who deliver the goods must not be suspicious in the slightest. Chief of Staff Don added.

"Yes!"
