Chapter 159: No War in the Nu River
The food delivered by the food delivery death squad in Linmeng could only barely guarantee that we would not starve to death, because the road conditions for transporting food were bad, and they could not bring much food each time.
For thousands of of us, this grain can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket, and with this bit of grain, mixed with a high proportion of brown rice and wild vegetables, we continue to eat our multigrain rice.
We are now an animal, an animal that is responsible for stuffing its appetite with wild vegetables and brown rice and just trying to live one more day.
"If this rain falls like this again, one Nu River will become two Nu Rivers." Tan Weimin held the binoculars and looked at the waves of the angry river, and sighed.
My management of the army is the same as our current country, which seems to be orderly but is actually loose, and I can tolerate it as long as my subordinates are not too qualified, compared with those commanders who are often called "iron handsome" by the stars.
Because I think that such a brutal war, for these Qiuba, a reasonable looseness can also be regarded as a reward. Otherwise, what can I give them? Just like now, it seems that I can't give them anything but multigrain rice.
It was pouring rain outside, and I was scratching my ears and cheeks in the camp headquarters, I was not distressed by the multigrain rice, I had been used to the bitterness and unpalatable taste of the multigrain rice that I had eaten for several years, and I was because I had cut off my cigarettes.
"Adjutant Liu, go to each company and get me a pack of cigarettes." I asked my lieutenant to brave the rain to look for cigarettes.
The original adjutant Hou Yong followed Zhou Dalei to the independent battalion, and my adjutant had just been promoted from below, and he was promoted to adjutant for nothing else, just because he was diligent, diligent in his mouth and legs.
That's why my motto is: those who are diligent don't suffer in the end, it's the lazy who suffer!
Tan Weimin was still holding a telescope to explain to him, and said: "The equipment for crossing the river given by the Americans will capsize immediately if it hits the Nu River. ”
Ani, who was wiping the gun on the table, said impatiently: "Zhai Weimin, even Xiao Tao knows what you said, so you don't need to say cool things there, okay?" Besides, inside your telescope, all you see is heavy rain, and you can see the Nu River? ”
Zhai Weimin promised and said: "When I was studying, the teacher taught me, saying that repeating and repeating is conducive to impressing......"
Zhai Weimin suddenly stopped talking, looked back at Ani, and said, "Ani, what did you just call me?" ”
Ani ignored the gun and said, "Tan Weimin, why don't you call you Platoon Commander Tan?" ”
Tan Weimin was secretly happy, because Ani suddenly stopped calling him a fake foreign devil, which made him very happy. He has always disliked this nickname, the foreign devil is ugly enough, and the fake foreign devil is a hundred times more ugly.
That is, Ani can jokingly call him this nickname, and if he was replaced by someone else, Tan Weimin would have already turned his face.
People are so easy to be satisfied, and sometimes the effect is just as obvious when you praise others more than you disparage others.
In such bad weather, our daily drills are saved, as long as each shift is lined up every day, there is no shortage of people who report it, even if it is the beginning and end of the day.
I don't know how the Japanese troops on the West Bank crossed the border, but I guess it's about the same as us.
The US planes reconnoitred and braved the heavy rain to bring back intelligence that the Japanese army's supplies might be even worse than ours on the east coast, and that their rear transportation roads were also in a vast ocean.
We still have the common people of Linmeng from time to time to carry forward the spirit of the national war of resistance and bring us some food to sustain themselves, but they can only find their own way.
Even if they wanted to go to the villages and villages to apportion, it became a luxury, because the Japanese troops in the villages and mountains were almost the same situation as us and Linmeng, looking at each other from a distance across the swamp puddles.
Adjutant Liu ran in and out, shaking off the rain on his head, Ani sneered: "Adjutant Liu, you are like the rhubarb that my family used to raise was drenched in the rain." ”
Adjutant Liu said very embarrassedly: "Ani, it's not good for you to compare a dog to me." ”
Tan Weimin helped Ani explain and said, "Adjutant Liu, don't be angry, Ani This is a kind metaphor." ”
I asked, "Did you find the cigarette?" ”
Adjutant Liu hurriedly took out three cigarettes that were already a little wet from his coat pocket.
I glared at him and said, "Just a few?" ”
Adjutant Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Battalion commander, you can be content, this is still what I turned out of Ma Shun's pocket, we have been trapped by heavy rain for more than half a month, how can there be smoke." ”
I looked at the three cigarettes in my hand and said with a smile: "Ma Shun, this cigarette holder, you bring all his cigarettes, he doesn't play with you?" ”
Adjutant Liu also smiled: "Ma Shun, this turtle grandson, didn't let me turn over his pocket at first, and I told him that this was the battalion commander's order, so he didn't dare to do it again." ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "Okay, thinking of Ma Shun's meritorious contribution to offering cigarettes, the officer will be promoted to one level, and he will be promoted to second lieutenant platoon commander from now on." ”
Tan Weimin said: "Battalion Commander An, the reason for your official seal is really peculiar, give you a few cigarettes and you will change from warrant officer to second lieutenant." If Ma Shun accidentally has a pack of cigarettes, do you even give it to the battalion commander? ”
I put on a straight face and said, "Platoon Commander Tan, how can you talk to the chief!" Platoon against battalion, no respect at all! Don't think that because you are related, you can be so presumptuous. Punish you...... Don't eat at noon! ”
Tan Weimin arched his hand at me and said, "I thank Chief An, thank you for sparing me a meal of banana bark." These days, I've been wondering if I'm a banana tree. ”
Ani covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Then do you want to call you a plantain tree spirit?" ”
A few cigarettes will be sealed, of course, a joke. Ma Shun returned from the West Bank and was promoted from sergeant to warrant officer. With Ma Shun's ability and qualifications, he should have been promoted to platoon commander a long time ago.
But because there are too many lieutenants in the first battalion, this is like filling the vacancy, there must be one less to be ranked, and the second lieutenant Zhai Meng has no news on the west bank, so I will fill in Ma Shun.
I lit my cigarette and took a beautiful puff, spitting out the smoke rings and enveloping myself in smoke. Ani looked at my pretended intoxicated expression and said, "Brother An, you look like those people who smoke big cigarettes in those big smoke houses." ”
"Ani, have you been to the Big Smoke House? What have you seen people who smoke big cigarettes? The adjutant seized the opportunity to take revenge on Ani and said sarcastically.
Ani said: "I haven't been, can't I hear anyone talk about it?" ”
Tan Weimin continued to follow the gang and said: "That's right, I've never eaten pork, I've always seen pigs run." ”
I choked on a puff of cigarette into my trachea, choking on me and coughing, and said with a smile while coughing: "Platoon Commander Tan, you went to the UK to study for four years, is this the level of expression?" Can you tell us more about it in foreign language? ”
Tan Weimin was unequivocal, thought for a moment, and said: "Haven't eaten pork haven't seen a pig run!" ”
Adjutant Liu said: "Whatever you say, we can't understand it anyway." ”
There is no war in the Nu River, and for us Qiuba, there is no difference from ordinary people, gathering together to talk about gossip and talk about boring topics that don't matter.
I listened, watched, and participated in their boredom. I thought to myself that if there was no war, I would probably be a hutong skewer looking for people everywhere.
