Located at the junction of Henan and Shaanxi, Zouma Town is also a thousand-year-old town.

The independent division finally came to Zouma Town after a long journey.

Chen Fei didn't understand why he didn't let the Independent Division return to Chongqing and wanted to come here, but when he arrived in Zouma Town, he learned that there were 3,000 new veterans for the Independent Division, and there was a local militia to supplement the Independent Division. The independent division fought resolutely and bravely in Shahe Town, so that Commander Li of the 5th Theater, the Military Commission, and even American observers thought that Chen Fei's independent division was more powerful than any other army, which was truly reflected in Shahe Town.

On the way to Zoumazhen of the independent division, the Military Commission sent a telegram saying that all officers and men would be promoted to one level and rewarded with 10,000 yuan.

Chen Fei smiled bitterly when he saw the telegram, he was a lieutenant general so soon, and He Wenbin and Zhu Guowen were excited, and finally became generals.

Chen Fei saw that the two of them looked happy, and immediately scolded: "! Look at you as if you were seeing a bitch, and think of the sacrificed brothers. The two who scolded did not stay, and because Chen Fei was in a bad mood along the way, the independent division seemed to be like frost, and he had no spirit.

Liu Meng's sacrifice made Chen Fei feel very guilty, after all, who to stay behind to fight the attack, Chen Fei had the final say.

Liu Meng's body was dug up in the corner of the position. Chen Fei asked everyone to hold a simple funeral for Liu Meng, Liu Meng also had a brother who said at that time that he would come to pick up the independent division, and now the number of the unit has also changed, I don't know if he can find it.

Chen Fei was lying on the soft bed of the town office, tossing and turning, not sleepy at all, and the sacrificed brothers flashed in his mind one by one like a movie.

Chen Fang heard that Chen Fei was not asleep, so he came in with a glass of water: "Master, drink some water" Chen Fang said.

"yes, okay." Chen Fei got up and said.

Chen Fang looked at Chen Fei and drank water and said: "Commander, don't be sad, you will die in battle, you are bitter in your heart, I understand, but this devil hasn't run away yet, Commander, don't fall!" ”

Chen Fei looked up at Chen Fang and smiled bitterly and said, "I know, thank you, by the way, is there any news from the Military Commission?" ”

"No, it's just a notice for our division to repair and wait, but the 5th War Zone has sent a batch of food, and Chief Li sent someone to say if he can give them some loot, in exchange." Chen Fang said.

Chen Fei was stunned for a moment and said, "If you don't change it, how much loot do we have this time?" ”

"Oh, there are more than 2,200 38 large covers, 78 grenadiers, 14 mortars, countless bullet materials, Brigade Commander Tang stripped off the devil's shoes, by the way, but more than a dozen abandoned tanks were dismantled by the 5 theater of operations. Chen Fang said.

"Aren't there still six trucks?" Chen Fei said.

"Thanks to these six trucks, otherwise so many supplies would not have been delivered." Chen Fang said.

Chen Fei handed the empty cup to Chen Fang, and Chen Fang took it and said: "The Battle of Southern Henan is over, and the newspapers have published that more than 30,000 devils have been annihilated and countless have been captured. ”

Chen Fei smiled bitterly and said, "It's all, it's good to be able to annihilate more than 10,000 people, okay, Chen Fang, you can go back to sleep too." ”

Chen Fang nodded and left.

Chen Fei lay down, thinking that such a big battle still failed to destroy the devil's vital force, the devil is really difficult to fight, like this time the devil is fierce and ruthless enough, the reaction is fast enough, the commander is really not simple, such an excellent devil commander, there are many devils. No matter how meticulous the game is, it is always difficult to fight, Chen Fei thought about it and finally fell asleep.

At noon the next day, Chen Fei had just gotten up and was eating lunch, but he didn't expect that no one from the 5th Theater Commander's Department came, and when Tang Enbo of the Central Army came, Chen Fei hurriedly got up to greet him.

"Chief Tang, please, Wang Liang quickly asked Lao Zhangtou to prepare wine and food." Chen Fei said as he turned back to explain to Wang Liang.

"Haha, Brother Chen is polite, brother, I'm also passing by, come and see my brother, haha!" Tang Sibo laughed.

Chen Fei had no choice but to smile and say, "Thank you, Chief Tang!" ”

Tang Sibo can also be regarded as a caring general, after all, everyone belongs to the same camp, and Chen Fei certainly greeted him with a smile.

And Tang Sienbo didn't dare to underestimate Chen Fei, Chen Fei's family has a backer and can attack and defend well, maybe one day he will rise higher than him, after all, Chen Fei is young.

"Chief Tang, sit!" Chen Fei invited Tang Enbo to sit down, "The chief won't come to see Chen." ”

"It's really worthy of being a commissioned student, haha, brother, I'm really passing by, but by the way, there is still something to talk about." Tang Enbo laughed.

"Sir, please." Chen Fei replied, he looked at Tang Enbo from the side with a serious expression.

"The committee said, the Gui family is not a good bird, this battle is like such a grandmother, he Li Delin is responsible, and thanks to your brother's ability to attack and defend, most of these devils are eliminated by you, such a carefully arranged battle situation, I will be ashamed of him when I say it." Townenberg said.

"I can't say that, Chief Li is still the same," Chen Fei said embarrassedly.

"Brother, don't speak for Li Delin, there are some things you know, I understand, he understands, even the commission understands, but he doesn't say it, the commission means, your brother is here to repair for the time being, replenish the source of troops, and wait for the order of the Military Commission." Townenberg said.

"Oh, I see." Chen Fei said.

"Brother is not very interested, how about I brought you a reinforcement group when I passed by this time, although we haven't met, brother, my meeting gift is okay." Townenberg said.

"Ah, haha, didn't you say it earlier, haha, Wang Liang urged, why hasn't Lao Zhangtou's dishes been served yet, haha" Chen Fei suddenly said happily.

"Brother, I see that you are happy, but you have to give me some loot, I can't give it for nothing, let me also go to Chongqing to show my face, haha." Tang Enbo laughed.

"No problem, how about seven hundred three or eight big covers, Chief Li also wants it, I won't give it." Chen Fei said.

"It's right if you don't give it, if you want to give it, you have to give it to our Central Army, he Li Delin is a fart, haha!" Tang Enbo laughed.

"Report!" This is Wang Liang taking Lao Zhangtou to serve the food together.

"Come, come, Chief Tang, taste the food of our independent division, come, come." Chen Fei hurriedly said.

With a strengthened group and the addition of 3,300 people, Chen Fei was very happy, although it was an ordinary banquet, but it made the guests and hosts very happy.

In the evening, Chen Fei called several commanders to his division headquarters, and the topic of discussion was the reconstruction of the Second Regiment.

"Listen, this time the Second Regiment has made great contributions, and each regiment has added the best squad, platoon, and company commander to the Second Regiment, as for the commander of the Second Regiment, I think Guo Liang can serve as the commander." Chen Fei said, after he finished speaking, he took out his cigarette and smoked it himself.

"Commander, can I say a few words." Zhu Guowen said.

"Say." Chen Fei said.

"After this battle, I feel that I can't win the position of deputy division commander, division commander, if I can, let me try to be the second regiment commander first." Zhu Guowen said.

"Are you full of food and support, a good deputy division commander wants to be the head of the regiment if you don't do it, get out!" Chen Fei scolded, everyone felt a lot more pleasant when they heard Chen Fei scolding Zhu Guowen, looking at this, the division commander regarded Zhu Guowen as his own. Zhu Guowen was stunned for a moment, he didn't know what to say, or the old steamed bun said: "It's all your own brothers, what kind of anger are you, can you talk well." ”

Chen Fei took a few puffs of smoke and said: "Deputy Division Commander Zhu, just by virtue of your actions to cover for the independent regiment and the first regiment, it is enough for the qualifications of this deputy division commander." ”

"Deputy Division Commander Zhu, the division commander scolded you for treating you as his own brother, and in the future, we will share difficulties and blessings." Zhao Liudao.

Zhu Guowen was so excited that he immediately said: "Commander, don't say it, let's see the action." ”

Chen Fei nodded.

"I think, let the teaching team let Zhang Ning be the captain, he is brave and strategic." Old steamed bun said.

"Okay, that's it, Chief of Staff He, tomorrow you will divide the replenished troops, Deputy Division Commander Zhu, the troops will start to exercise normally tomorrow, by the way, except for the purchase of materials, no one is allowed to leave the camp. Chen Fei said.

"Yes!" Everyone shouted, not for anything else, looking at the teacher's mood and face today, everyone is relieved, there are brothers who sacrifice, the division commander will always be sad and sad for a few days, in fact, everyone is just as sad and sad, but what can be done.

Everyone left, and Chen Fei left Lao Zhangtou to ask about the supplies.

It's still very cold, and the costumes of the local replenishment groups are varied. However, the supplementary regiment brought by Tang Enbo was neatly dressed and each of them had a neutral rifle and five rounds of ammunition, and at a glance he knew that he had been trained.

"Division commander, there are some clothes, but they are not enough, I will find a way, there is no shortage of other materials, this time there are hundreds of boxes of canned food from many devils." Lao Zhangtou said, if it weren't for the sacrifice too much, especially if Liu Meng was gone, Lao Zhangtou would definitely be happy for a long time.

"Well, you look for seven hundred three or eight big covers, as well as damaged sabers and utensils to send to the soup department, and it is not for nothing that people have so many supplementary soldiers." Chen Fei said.

"Oh, okay, I see." Lao Zhangtou said simply, this is probably the first time he has been so generous.

Chen Fei nodded, and Lao Zhangtou saw that Chen Fei was fine, and immediately got up and went back.

Chen Fei took another cigarette, thinking to himself, Tang Enbo should have been ordered by the principal to be so generous, and he didn't even mean to beat today's words, maybe he was a wake-up, maybe he would turn his face with Chief Li in the future.

Chen Fei also understands that now it is a national disaster, and if the devil is driven away in the future, I don't know what the situation in China will be.

Chen Fei shook his head, thinking to himself, how can he be a small general, it would be good to manage his own one-third of an acre of land.

At night, as soon as Chen Fei fell asleep, he heard Wang Liang knocking on the door outside.

Chen Fei got up and opened the door to take a look, and was overjoyed, and closed the door to show up. "Why are you here, hurry, hurry, come in" Chen Fei said happily.

Guan Lu entered the door, Wang Liang closed the door, Chen Fei hugged Guan Lu, Chen Fei whispered in Guan Lu's ear excitedly: "I miss you so much." ”

When Guan Lu heard this, she felt like she was about to melt.

This night, Guan Lu's arrival was destined to fill Chen Fei's cold division bedroom with boundless spring colors.

Unlike He Wenjuan's reserved, the enthusiastic Guan Lu served Chen Fei comfortably, and Chen Fei didn't want to get up the next day.

"How did you know I was here to fix up?" Chen Fei hugged Guan Lu and said.

"I telegraphed with Lao Mantou, I came from Xi'an, and there I subdued three knife escorts, mainly to transport goods from the northwest." Guan Lu said.

"It can't be opium." Chen Fei immediately said that the only thing that could make Guan Lu appear in person was a hugely profitable business.

"There are some, mainly arms." Guan Lu said.

Chen Fei thought for a while and said, "We don't lack this money, just forget about opium, I don't care about anything else." “

"I know that you will object, I just opened a few roads through opium, and communicated with some local Taoist figures, mainly arms, food, and medicine." Guan Lu said.

"Well, that's the best, by the way, didn't I tell you to go to Hong Kong or Chongqing? Why are you still running around? Chen Fei said.

"Hehe, I like the feeling that everyone respects me, and I like to do business. I don't want to be a lady at home. Guan Lu looked at Chen Fei and smiled.

"Also, everyone's thoughts are different, but this is chaotic, there are too many people who are more ruthless than you, be careful." Chen Fei said.

Guan Lu smiled and nodded, only in Chen Fei's arms did she reveal the true colors of a little woman.

"By the way, sell me some weapons." Guan Lu said.

"Okay, this time there are a lot of seizures, except for heavy weapons, you can give the money to the old steamed bun, and his intelligence department has a lot of money." Chen Fei said.

"Well, I only need rifles and pistols, and heavy weapons will be discussed later, as for the price, I will discuss it with Lao Mantou." Guan Lu said.

"Okay, get up, it's not good to sleep again, I'll take you around Zouma Town, I heard that the ten bowls of water mats here are good, even Cixi Lafayette praised them personally, ten bowls of water mats, perfect." Chen Fei said as he got up and got dressed.

"Okay," Guan Lu also got up happily.

The two washed up and walked out of the barracks.

"You're also powerful, and you have more guards than me." Chen Fei saw a large group of people in the vicinity, both bright and dark.

"It's not easy for me to be a woman and a Taoist family, so you can take care of it." Guan Lu said.

"Well, it's good to bring more people, but be loyal." Chen Fei looked at Guan Ludao.

"Hmm." Guan Lu replied softly.

Although Zouma Town is a thousand-year-old town, when it is different from the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River, the dense wooden tile houses, the streets and alleys have an indescribable sense of vicissitudes, and you can see stone tablets and stone plaques from time to time.

Chen Fei is a native of Jiangnan, so he is not very interested in this kind of ancient town, so he took a look at it.

"Wang Liang, find a restaurant, let's have something to eat." Chen Fei said.

"Commander, I heard that the old Zhou's restaurant over there is good." Wang Liang pointed with his finger as he spoke.

"Okay, let's go get some food." Chen Fei looked at Guan Lu as he spoke, and Guan Lu nodded slightly.

Hu Yi really pulled the banner of the tiger this time, and drove out all the diners of Lao Zhou's restaurant, so scared that the boss didn't dare to squeak.

"What are you doing here, you paid for the people you drove away." Chen Fei was a tiger together.

The tiger was stunned one by one, scratched his scalp and smiled: "Master, you are, this is"

"I'm kidding you." Guan Lu said with a smile.

"Hu Yi, others are ruthless, you have to be more ruthless than him, but the wife of the other family is doing business peacefully, you are playing hooligan." Chen Fei smiled.

"Master, remember." Tiger replied immediately.

"Remember? You still have to pay for it, haha" Chen Fei laughed.

The crowd entered a box facing the street. Chen Fei was in a good mood today, and made a few jokes from time to time, Wang Liang lit several tables of ten bowls of water mats, and after a while, the boss and his men came up one by one.

Ten bowls of water mat serving side dishes are particular, first serve hot dishes and then serve cold dishes, large and small dishes in the middle, and perpendicular to the table pattern, and opposite to the main entrance. Chen Fei took chopsticks and ate a few bites, fragrant but not unwilling, sweet but not greasy, refreshing but not hard, refreshing and sharp, what kind of frying, cooking, frying, and burning, there are everything, and the shape, the pattern is rich, silk, slices, strips, blocks, dices, it is very good-looking.

"Yes, yes, it's very unexpected, our country is a big country, and every place has its own characteristics." Chen Fei said while eating.

"If you like it, eat more," Guan Lu looked at Chen Fei and smiled

Due to the arrival of Guan Lu, Chen Fei's depressed and depressed mood in the past few days was finally released
