The camp in the west of the city was busy, and groups of Yunnan officers and soldiers holding torches came and went in the camp, shuttling non-stop. The entire city of Canton was plunged into darkness as the power plant workers, who supported the Nationalist axe, cut off the power supply and refused to supply the warlords any longer.

In the middle of the night, the rumbling sound of artillery bombardment in the direction of the lower reaches of the Pearl River, An Yi thought it was the explosion of the zha medicine bag at first, and listened carefully, although the explosion sound was deafening, but it seemed to have a little order, so he thought that it might be the explosion of large-caliber shells, and the ordinary 75 mountain artillery and field artillery would not be so loud, and the scene of the test launch of the corrected artillery in the position of the Yunnan army An Yi had seen it many times, and was very familiar with the explosion of the 75 shells, far from such an earth-shattering momentum.

Sure enough, in less than 10 minutes, a man who looked like an officer ran in front of the car of the commander of Qu Company and loudly reported the battle situation: The attempt of the Third Army and the Ninth Division to cross the river to occupy the Generalissimo's Mansion and the Whampoa Military Academy on the other side of the river had failed, and the 12 large and small warships of the Navy opened fire on the troops crossing the river in unison, and the Third Army and the Ninth Division suffered heavy losses, and Commander Yang was very angry and had to give an order to stop crossing the river.

An Yi secretly applauded in his heart, got into the cab again and lit a cigarette, waiting for the soldier to load the truck, and sneered at the special military resources mentioned by the company commander Qu with a pig's brain: When the first box was loaded, the peculiar and somewhat greasy smell of opium smoke had already made An Yi know what kind of goods it was, and also knew that the Yunnan army had always had the habit of smoking opium, and more than 80 percent of the officers and soldiers in Yunnan from top to bottom could not do without opium smoke, and almost everyone carried two guns - one of them was a smoking gun. An Yi also often saw smokers lying on the ground in various positions, and groups of officers and soldiers were as soft as invertebrates when they smoked tobacco, and once they smoked tobacco, they were immediately refreshed, and at this time, they would never be ambiguous when they went up the knife mountain and down the sea of fire.

The right car door opened silently, and the pig's head of the company commander Qu stretched into the car: "Boy, for a homeless rabbit cub, are you worth fighting with Lao Tzu?" Take it! ”

Two packs of "Old Knife Brand" cigarettes were thrown to An Yi's buttocks, An Yi had returned to normal at this time, and he picked them up and stuffed them into his pocket: "Do you want me to help you hide things privately?" ”

"Shhh

Company Commander Qu took a private look, quickly climbed into the car, and whispered to An Yi: "This time, Commander Yang made a bloody investment, and took out the high-grade 'cloud soil' to reward each brother in the whole army with four taels, plus five Yuan Datou per person, and one pound of Indian-made best tobacco paste per person above the battalion commander, this is a good product that has no place to buy if you have money!" My eldest brother Yang just asked me to immediately hide sixty catties of Indian cigarette paste, as well as the 1,500 yuan of Yuan Datou from the 'surplus', and ordered me to take it out of the western camp as quickly as possible, so as to save a lot of dreams at night. Brother, it's up to you this time, I'll move up with Bangzi and I later, you are responsible for finding a place to hide in the car and take it out, and after the matter is completed, Lao Tzu will reward you with ten oceans, how about it? ”

An Yi hesitated for a moment, and saw that Qu Fatzi was about to get angry before he whispered: "That's it, you haven't taken care of your little brother for so long, just now the little brother was stimulated by the death of someone and angered the eldest brother, but you didn't blame the little brother for smoking cigarettes, the little brother felt uncomfortable, so let's just give the little brother five oceans, and the little brother is embarrassed to take it." ”

Qu Lian was overjoyed, slapped An Yi on the thigh, and didn't care about An Yi's grinning teeth in pain: "Good brother!" Lao Tzu didn't mistake you, okay! Since you are so righteous, when the war is over, Lao Tzu will quietly let you go back, and Lao Tzu will stand up to it when the sky falls! ”

"Thank you, Brother Qu! Thank you, little brother! An Yi bowed sincerely, took out the cigarette in his pocket, tore open the wrapping paper and pulled out a stick to honor Qu Fatman, but Qu Fatman quickly opened the door and got out of the car, and there was no shadow in a blink of an eye.

In less than three minutes, Qu Fatzi and his friend hurriedly came to the car, An Yi had already lifted the stool and waited for a long time, three pieces of cigarette paste with beautiful packaging printed red and black English letters were quickly stuffed into the small space under the stool, Qu Fatzi disappeared again and soon reappeared, holding a heavy fine canvas bag to An Yi, An Yi took it and stacked it neatly in the last bit of space, covered the stool in front of Qu Fatty, tightened the four screws, and pulled hard a few times without moving, Qu Fatman then let out a heavy sigh, wiped the sweat off his fat face, nodded appreciatively to An Yi, glanced at the carriage hurriedly, then got into the car, closed the door, and urged An Yi to drive out of the camp.

The gate of the chaotic camp had long been out of accordance with the procedures to check the release slip, and a man who looked like an officer led a platoon of troops to guard both sides of the gate, saw the familiar Chevrolet truck impatiently waving his arms to let the car go quickly. Turning onto the road and crossing two narrow side streets, Xidaying had been left far behind, and Qu Fatzi let out a heavy sigh, and the whole person relaxed.

"Damn, it makes me sweat...... Boy, go to the left, drive to the house of my eldest brother Yang's fourth aunt at the small north gate, we have to unload the things, and then rush to the Longyan Cave position in the eastern suburbs. ”

Qu Fatty's head stretched out to the front to carefully identify the road, but fortunately, the brightness of the headlights was good, so he didn't have too much trouble looking at it.

An Yi nodded, turned left at the intersection, and as soon as he entered the straight, he immediately heard a long scream of cannonballs crossing the sky, and then bursts of explosions sounded continuously in the direction of the small north gate, and the raging fire mixed with billowing smoke rose into the air, frightening Qu Fat Man to stop.

Qu Fatzi opened the car door and quickly climbed onto the roof of the car, stomped his feet heavily and quickly returned to the cab: "It's over, the whole alley is over!" It must have been a naval gun fired from across the river, which collapsed Liu Zhenhuan's Guijun headquarters building, and the alley suffered, and the fourth aunt was afraid that she would also die...... Go back, boy, go back! Hurry up and get out of this place, you won't even find a bone if you hit it with a shot. ”

An Yi reversed quickly, turned east at the intersection, and just drove more than 40 meters, a heavy shell exploded at the intersection behind him, and the stone shrapnel hit the body with a "pop" sound, which frightened An Yi's face pale, and he ran desperately.

Driving out of Dongcheng into a secluded suburban dirt road, An Yi, who was a little frightened, slowed down, glanced at the panicked Qu fat man in the passenger seat and asked: "Brother Qu, I have so many valuables under my ass, you have to find a place to move over, and I am not sure in the car." ”

Qu Fatzi shook his head painfully: "Do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to find a safe place to hide?" For the sake of these sixty catties of tobacco paste and a bag of ocean, Lao Tzu deliberately sent away the brothers who escorted the car. Damn, no wonder your old Taoist said that I should be careful not to be greedy for money these days...... Boy, let me tell you, don't open too far forward when you get to the Longyan Cave later, it's getting dark, maybe you may fight at any time, our car has a big target, if a few more shells fly, there is no place to hide, and the little life is gone, and the smoke paste is useless in the ocean? Remember? ”

"Remember, I can't ask for it."

Half an hour later, An Yi drove the car to a stop in front of the command post behind the small hill more than 500 meters away from the forward position, Qu Fatzi jumped out of the car and loudly reported to the army commander Hu Sishun that the tobacco had been pulled over, Hu Sishun, who was expressionless and bearded, nodded and waved his hand back, dozens of officers and soldiers rushed to the carriage, and in a blink of an eye, a car full of nearly two tons of Yunnan tobacco was unloaded.

Qu Fatzi saluted and said goodbye, and before he turned around, he was stopped by Hu Sishun: "You, drive the car to the mountain sawmill one kilometer behind and stand by, this car is useful, waiting for my order at any time." ”

"This, this...... Subordinates obey ......"

Under the gaze of Hu Sishun's knife-like gaze, Qu Fatty's back was cold, so he could only obey the order, got into the car and angrily shouted at An Yi to drive the car to the sawmill, and scolded and scolded all the way to greet Hu Sishun's family name.

An Yi also secretly complained, he really didn't want to stay in such a dangerous place and wait for death, the heavy artillery bomb near the small north gate just now still made his ears buzz, and a kind of happiness of escaping death was immediately replaced by another unpredictable fear, but now, he can't choose, he can only resign himself to his fate and pray that God will have long eyes.

As soon as the car stopped, bursts of deafening cannon sounds rang out one after another, frightened Qu Fatzi yelled, commanded An Yi to quickly reverse the car into the depression against the mountain, An Yi did as he said and parked the car on the edge of the almost vertical mountain, and before he had time to catch his breath, he was shocked by the tongues of fire flying overhead: the artillery position of the Dian army opened fire, and a whistling shell flew over the hill and smashed into the revolutionary army position in the east.

After about ten minutes, the shelling stopped, and the fierce sound of machine guns and grenade explosions rang out, and bursts of shouts were heard from time to time.

Qu Fatzi pulled An Yi out of the car, and the two secretly climbed the hill, crouched on the side of a big stone and looked eastward, only to see the smoke billowing and shouting all over the field, the revolutionary army and the Yunnan army had been desperate for a long time.

"Brother Qu, the position in front is well chosen, the town of Longyan Cave is surrounded by stone mountains and hills on both sides, this must road is just between the two mountains, the entire width seems to be less than one and a half kilometers, the position occupied by your Dian army is too good. I have walked this road, it is the main highway to Dongguan and Kowloon, and it is not far from the railway that can be seen over there, it is the only land passage for the counties and towns in the east and south to enter Guangzhou City, and you can basically see Guangzhou City through here, and there seems to be a small river in front of the position, right? An Yi asked curiously.

Qu Fatzi nodded: "That's right, it's a small river, only four or five meters wide, the stone bridge was blown up by us, I went there once a few days ago and had an impression." This year, the drought and the small river have dried up, and both sides of the river are steep riverbeds more than two meters high, and the dry bottom of the river is full of mud, even if he jumps off with his Whampoa army, few can climb the bank here, not to mention that there are so many machine guns beckoning. ”

"Wait! You said that it was the Whampoa Army that was attacking in front? An Yi asked anxiously.

Qu Fatzi kept looking at the front of the fierce battle: "You don't have fucking long eyes?" Didn't you see the school flag of the Whampoa Military Academy and the unique military flags of their regiments? It is estimated that they will have to kill and wound hundreds of people in this hour, you see, retreat, haha...... Okay, let's go down, Lao Tzu hasn't eaten a meal until last night, his legs and stomach are trembling, there is a cooking class in the south of the sawmill cooking, specially receiving temporary passers of our army, let's go eat a fucking front-line meal, even if you drink a bowl of porridge, it will last for a long time. ”

An Yi looked at the position where the smoke of gunpowder dissipated and gradually calmed down, shook his head sadly, followed Qu Fatzi down the mountain, walked around the piles of wood and walked to the cooking class with a heavy heart, picked up a large bowl, scooped up the gruel in the wooden barrel and drank it with his head up, drank three bowls in a row before putting down the bowl, looking up at the gloomy sky and waiting for the fat man Qu.

Qu Fat Man ate and drank to his heart's content, picked up the opium gun in the corner of the wall and leaned on the grass, and an old veteran went up to light a lamp and burn the cigarette bubbles for him, and the opium was smoked until noon.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the Whampoa army launched another fierce attack, and after an hour and twenty minutes of fierce fighting, it was once again repulsed by the Dian army. An Yi lay on the hill and kept staring at the corpses on the battlefield in front of him, feeling distressed, but there was nothing he could do, but he found that Hu Sishun of the Yunnan army was indeed well commanded and brave, he dared to set up his command post only 500 meters away from the forward position, and cleverly chose to be under a hill with his back to the front line, neither the artillery nor machine guns of the Whampoa Army could hit him, but he could use the flag soldiers who climbed to deliver orders at any time.

When night fell, the fat man Qu, who was so anxious that he stomped his feet, wanted to leave but didn't dare to go, his temper became very irritable, and scolded An Yi to go to the temporary transfer warehouse next to the cooking class to bring back the pile of rags, and he wanted to smoke opium and sleep under the car.

An Yi was worried that Qu Fatzi was addicted to cigarettes and emotionally unstable, and he really shot himself wronged, so he could only follow his words and deeds, and did not dare to disobey a little, so he took back a large ball of colorful rags and returned to the side of the car to spread them out one by one, and spread them on the bottom of the car for Qu Fatzi. What made An Yi feel extremely ironic was that there were two Kuomintang flags and one national flag in this rag, all of which were pressed by the stinky body of Qu Fat Man at the moment.

After a night of worry, the sky gradually turned gray, and Hu Sishun did not issue any orders to let An Yi get out of the car, and Qu Fatman, who woke up three times in one night and smoked opium twice, slept more soundly than a pig. An Yi, who had a croaking stomach, had no choice but to walk to the cooking class by himself, and saw that everyone except the old man had not woken up, so he could only find a clean thick bowl and put some leftovers left by the ammunition handling team last night to deal with it.

A few bowls of gruel went down, the bladder bulged, An Yi walked to the ditch in the west while burping, unbuttoned his pants and took out the second child to release water comfortably, only to feel that this urine bubble was so unprecedentedly pleasant.

The grass in the ditch suddenly moved, and An Yi, who was startled, didn't have time to react, a swarthy and cold shell gun was already on top of his little brother's head: "Don't make a sound, otherwise I'll kill you!" ”
