In a room in the southern Hunan base area, Lao Lang was drinking with a middle-aged man who was the director of the logistics department of the base area, and the director's surname was Zheng. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He and Lao Lang were both comrades-in-arms of the Hangzhou Military Region, and Lao Zheng was Lao Lang's soldier, and because he was injured on the battlefield, Commander Wang asked Lao Zheng to be the director of the logistics department of the Southern Hunan.

When Lao Zheng and Lao Lang were chatting happily, a soldier came to the two of them and saluted and said, "Report to Director Zheng, Commander Wang has something to look for you." ”

Lao Zheng nodded and followed Lao Lang to the headquarters, Commander Wang was waiting for Lao Zheng at the headquarters, and he asked Lao Zheng to sit down after seeing Lao Zheng.

Lao Zheng sat down and said to Commander Wang, "Commander, do you have anything to do with me?" Commander Wang said: "Xiao Zheng, I read the document you sent yesterday, and I decided to ask you to send soldiers down the mountain to collect grain." ”

After listening to this, Lao Zheng said, "I promise to complete the task." After finishing speaking, Lao Zheng saluted Commander Wang and went out. Lao Zheng returned to his office and thought about it, so he called the guard over and said, "Xiao Li, you take a few people down the mountain to collect grain." ”

After listening to this, Xiao Li nodded and led these soldiers down the mountain, Xiao Li took the soldiers into several villages, but there was no food. A kind-hearted villager told Xiao Li: "If you go to a mile of land, there is a village, and there is a landlord in the village, and the landlord's family has food." ”

After listening to this, Xiao Li said thank you to the villager and took the soldier to the village that the villager said, and after Xiao Li entered the village, he was surrounded by some ordinary people with guns.

A young man came out of this group of ordinary people and came to Xiao Li and said, "Who are you, you are not welcome in this village. ”

Xiao Li said with a smile: "We are a team from the attached anti-Japanese base area, and we are here because our military region has no food, so we want to ask for food in your village." ”

When the man heard this, he sneered and said: "You are talking nonsense, the New Fourth Army Military Region has already been scattered by the Japanese army, who are you?" ”

Xiao Li said: "We are really fighters in the anti-Japanese base area, and our military region has just been rebuilt. When the man heard this, he said, "It seems that you don't want to go, so stay here." After finishing speaking, the man asked a few people to lock up Xiao Li and them.

The man came to a large mansion that was the home of the landlord of the village. The man came to the hall and said to an old man: "Dad, a group of people claiming to be from the anti-Japanese base area have come to our village, and I have people arrest them. ”

That old man was the landlord of this village, the landlord of Jia. And that young man was Xiao Jia, the son of the landlord, who graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy, and because he couldn't get used to seeing the commander, he retired from the army and returned to his hometown to become the captain of the guard.

After hearing his son's words, Landlord Jia said: "I heard that there is an Eighth Route Army that has established an anti-Japanese base near us, and it will not be them who you arrest." ”

Xiao Jia thought about it after hearing it and said, "Dad, it's them, Dad, let's do it." The landlord Jia said: "What else can I do, you quickly release the people and invite them over." ”

Xiao Jia nodded and came to the room where Xiao Li was held, and the guard at the door saw Xiao Jia and said, "Captain, you are here." Xiao Jia nodded and asked the guard to open the door.

Xiao Jia entered the house and came to Xiao Li and said, "I'm sorry brother, I only know you now." Xiao Li said: "It's okay, fellow, can I see the landlord here?" ”

After listening to this, Xiao Jia took Xiao Li and them to the big mansion, Xiao Jia asked the housekeeper to arrange a place for the soldiers to live, and he took this Xiao Li to the hall.

Xiao Jia came to the landlord Jia and pointed at Xiao Li and said, "Dad, this is a soldier from the military region." Xiao Li only knew that Xiao Jia was the son of the landlord.

Landlord Jia looked Xiao Li up and down and said, "Who is your commander?" Xiao Li said: "Our commander is Commander Wang. Xiao Jia said: "It's Senior Wang." Xiao Li said, "You know our commander." Xiao Jia nodded.

Xiao Jia nodded and turned around and said to Landlord Jia: "This Senior Wang, he took care of me very much when he was in the military school. Landlord Jia nodded and asked Xiao Li, "What are you doing here?" ”

Xiao Li said: "There is no food in our military region now, and my superiors ordered us to go down the mountain to collect food. But there was no food in the nearby villages, so we had to come here to see if there was any food here. ”

After hearing this, Landlord Jia asked the housekeeper to come over and asked the housekeeper: "Lao Li, how much grain do we still have in our family?" Steward Li said: "Our grain has been given to the villagers, and there are more than 40 bags left at home." ”

Landlord Jia thought about it and said to Steward Li: "Let's take out ten bags of grain and give it to the base area." Steward Li was about to speak but was stopped by Landlord Jia, so Steward Li had to ask a few family members to carry ten bags of grain to the hall.

After Xiao Li saw the grain, he said to Landlord Jia: "Thank you, Master Jia." On behalf of the Military District, I thank you for your help. Landlord Jia nodded and asked Xiao Li to return to the military region with the grain.

After Xiao Li returned to the military region, he told Lao Zheng about the matter under the mountain, and after listening to it, Lao Zheng thought about it and took Xiao Li to Commander Wang, and Xiao Li told Commander Wang about the situation in the village.

After hearing this, Commander Wang smiled and said, "Senior Brother Jia, it turns out that he is from here, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I will meet him when I have time." ”

A week later, a seriously wounded civilian came to the mountains of the military region and was seen by the soldiers patrolling the mountains. The soldier hurriedly helped the man to the infirmary of the military district.

After a while, the man slowly woke up, and the health guard saw the man wake up and said, "Fellow, you woke up." ”

The man said, "Where is this?" The health soldier said: "This is the anti-Japanese base in southern Hunan. The man hurriedly sat up and said, "I want to see your commander, I have something important to tell him." ”

The health soldier nodded and helped the man to Commander Wang, and the health soldier said to Commander Wang, "Commander, this fellow wants to see you." ”

Commander Wang nodded and let the health soldier go out, came to the man and said, "Fellow, do you have anything to do with me?" The man said, "I am the escort of Jia Village, we were attacked by bandits, and our captain asked me to come to you,"

As soon as Commander Wang heard this, "What have you been attacked, okay, I will send someone to support you, you can rest first." Commander Wang called Lao Lang and Xiao Li over.

Commander Wang said to Lao Lang: "Jia Village is attacked by bandits, you take the team to Jia Village to support." The old man saluted and said, "I promise to complete the task." Commander Wang nodded and said to Xiao Li: "Xiao Li, you have been to Jia Village, and you are a guide for Lao Lang." Xiao Li saluted and said, "Guarantee to complete the task." ”
