Gu Zhenghai said: "Our leader's cigarette addiction is not younger than you. Every time our scouts go out to investigate, they will help him buy some back. So now there is still some stock left. I'll call the shots, and I'll take you some away when you're gone! ”

"That's great!" As he spoke, Xiang Ying lit a cigarette. After a while, Xiang Ying said, "It's the first time I've come here. Take me to see the warriors! ”

"Good!" Gu Zhenghai responded and asked, "Old Xiang, are you going to see that army first?!" ”

Xiang Ying thought for a while and said, "You can first introduce me to the situation of your independent group!" ”

"Good! No problem with this! Saying that, Gu Zhenghai opened a plan of the station, pointed to the map and said: "We have a total of three regiments, one teaching team, and four regiments directly under the regiment. At present, the second battalion, the teaching team, and the first health team are not here. The commander of the first battalion followed the regiment commander to Huzhou with the battalion police platoon and the third battalion and one company. At present, only one battalion and three companies and three battalions and two companies are trained at the station. There is also a female soldier company, an artillery company and a health team. ”

"Wait!" Without waiting for Gu Zhenghai to finish speaking, Xiang Ying interrupted: "Your regiment still has a female soldier company. What's going on with this female soldier company?! ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "The female soldier company was established when we were in Wuning. Most of them are girls who have been ruined by devils, and some are orphan girls whose whole family has been killed by devils and are helpless. Immediately, Gu Zhenghai told Xiang Ying the original intention of establishing a female soldier company.

After listening to Gu Zhenghai's narration, Xiang Ying laughed and said, "It seems that I have come to your independent group this time. This is a good idea, and it can help the comrades working in the local area to solve great troubles. ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "Old Xiang, don't underestimate these female soldiers. They train harder than our male soldiers. When it comes to fighting now, our regiment commander uses this female soldier company as the main battalion. But then again, in order to make these female soldiers survive on the battlefield, Comrade Hong Yu gave them the best equipment. ”

Xiang Ying said: "When you say this, I feel a little itchy!" Walk! Take me to see it! With that, Xiang Ying snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

Just when Gu Zhenghai took Xiang Ying to the station of the women's soldier company, Tang Xingshang came to the warehouse with the convoy. After getting out of the car, Tang Xingshang ran in front of Hong Yu, saluted Hong Yu, and asked softly, "Commander, why are you here?!" ”

Hong Yu said: "Now except for the barracks of the devils and the puppet army, all other places have been taken over by us. Hurry up and load the truck! First load food and medicine, then clothing, and finally weapons and ammunition! ”

"Yes!" Tang Xingshang responded and gave the order to load the truck. Bags of grain and boxes of medicine were all carried out by the soldiers and loaded onto trucks. After more than two hours of work, near 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Xingshang left Huzhou with a truck full of grain and supplies.

Soon after Tang Xingshang left, Hong Yu found ink on the wall in order to keep the devil from troublesome to the people in the city: "Nothing to do, the wolf is here!" See you next time in Nanjing! And at the end, a piece of paper with the Howling Moon Wolf printed on it was pinned to the bottom of the word.

After doing this, Hong Yu took the soldiers of three battalions and one company, each carrying a box of bullets or grenades, and left Huzhou according to the way they came. ……

"Old Gu, you female soldiers even look red at me!" Leaving the station of the female soldier company, Xiang Ying looked at Gu Zhenghai seriously and said. Gu Zhenghai said lightly: "Old Xiang, I know your eyes are red. But I can't help it. Our regiment commander said that these female soldiers of the female soldier company are digested within the regiment alone. can't solve it, and the son-in-law is allowed to enter the door, but it is absolutely not allowed to marry. ”

Xiang Ying glared at Gu Zhenghai without curiosity, and said, "I didn't say anything!" I'm talking about equipment. Although they did not have heavy firepower, they had three guns per man. I can equip at least one regiment with these weapons! I really don't know what your head of the regiment thinks?! ”

Gu Zhenghai said with a smile: "Old Xiang, I have already reminded you just now. Our company of female soldiers is overly well equipped. What did you just say?! ”

"I have not forgotten what I just said. But there is no such equipment either?! Xiang Ying found a stone and sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it and smoked it. After three or four minutes, Xiang Ying couldn't help but ask, "Many troops are short of weapons now. Since you have so many weapons, why don't you support the other fraternal troops?! ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "Old Xiang, I admit that we have a lot of equipment. But our troops are developing. In **, now there are half of the fighters, and there are no guns yet. If we support other troops with weapons, then what about our troops in **?! Do you want them to take big swords and spears and go to hand-to-hand combat with devils?! If that's the case, then we're committing a crime! ”

Xiang Ying sighed, took another cigarette, took two puffs, stood up, and asked, "Where are we going next?!" ”

Gu Zhenghai asked, "Where do you want to go?!" ”

Xiang Ying thought for a while and said, "Go and have a look at your artillery company." I heard Zhao Hannian say that the artillery company of your independent regiment has a lot of good things! ”

Gu Zhenghai looked at his watch and said, "Old Xiang, it's time to eat." It's not far from the 3rd Battalion, we went there for lunch and then went to the artillery battery, what do you think?! ”

"Alright! Then go to the third camp first! With that, Xiang Ying followed Gu Zhenghai to the camp not far away.

After lunch, Xiang Ying followed Gu Zhenghai around the third battalion, and then went to the artillery company. When Xiang Ying saw the heavy mortars with their heads held high in the artillery company, just like a wolf seeing its prey, his eyes glowed with golden light, and he couldn't help but walk to the side of the mortar, touch the mortar and say, "This is a good thing that money can't buy." Compared to your independent regiment, the other troops are simply called Hanako. ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "Old Xiang, you can't say that. These are what we captured from the enemy. It was all taken back by the warriors with their lives. We have pursued the policy of nourishing war with war. No matter what kind of battle is fought, there must be capture. According to the words of our regimental commander, every unit is a merchant, and the highest commander of the unit is the owner of the merchant. Fighting a war is like doing business. Fighters, weapons and ammunition are all capital. Before going to war, you have to make an assessment. If this battle is a big drain on ammunition and soldiers. Then this battle cannot be fought. Since you can't fight, then you can't make money, so you have to find a way to make up for these losses. ……”

Xiang Ying listened to Gu Zhenghai's business theory, and was thoughtful. After about ten minutes, Xiang Ying came back to his senses and said, "No wonder you can win so many battles alone. It turned out that there was a head of the regiment who would be the boss. Saying that, Xiang Ying looked at Gu Zhenghai, and then said: "I heard that there is a cadre training class in the teaching team of your independent regiment, and a group of cadres will soon complete their studies. I'm here to tell you, I want two-thirds. ”

Gu Zhenghai said: "There is no problem in giving you two-thirds. There are a total of 300 cadres at the company and platoon levels. One for two, I'll give you two hundred. You give me four hundred veterans! ”

"Four hundred veterans?!" Xiang Ying suddenly jumped up and yelled at Gu Zhenghai: "Why don't you grab it?!" I'll give you two hundred and fifty veterans at most. ”

"No, not one of the four hundred veterans is missing! Otherwise, you won't even think about those platoon-level cadres! Saying that, Gu Zhenghai lit a cigarette with a leisurely face and smoked it. Seeing this scene, Xiang Ying said: "Now not only your independent regiment is developing, but other units of the New Fourth Army are also developing. And every place asks you about me like this. Where can I find it for you?! ”

Gu Zhenghai threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "Calculating the landing counteroffer, you are too ruthless, right?!" As soon as I opened my mouth, I was one hundred and fifty men. Who would like to change?! Let me tell you, when our regiment commander comes back and knows that you want those company and platoon level cadres, he will definitely not be as easy to talk as I am. ”

Xiang Ying said: "Okay! You give a bottom line. I'm not going to bargain either! But four hundred, don't even think about it. ”

Gu Zhenghai hesitated for a while and said, "Three hundred and fifty people, this is the bottom line. ”

Xiang Ying said: "Okay! I will give you three hundred and fifty. But you must also give me five hundred guns, each with a hundred rounds of ammunition. ”

Gu Zhenghai was stunned for a moment and said, "Five hundred guns, fifty thousand bullets?!" How dare you speak?! Saying that, Gu Zhenghai pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered those Zhongzheng and Hanyang in the warehouse, and said, "Okay! I'll give you five hundred guns and fifty thousand rounds of ammunition. But I said ugly things in the front, there are no new guns, they are all sixty percent new old guns. If you want it, don't pull it down. ”

When Xiang Ying heard Gu Zhenghai's words, he immediately jumped up, stared at Gu Zhenghai for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and popped out of his mouth: "good".

Just after five o'clock in the afternoon, when Gu Zhenghai returned to the regiment headquarters with Xiang Ying, Gao Tie ran to Gu Zhenghai in a hurry and said, "Political commissar, the first battalion commander is back!" The convoy is about to drive to the gate of the station! ”

"What?!" When Gu Zhenghai heard the news, he immediately ran out of the regiment headquarters. Xiang Ying asked, "What's going on?!" ”

The high-speed rail replied: "Report to the chief, our transport team to Huzhou is back!" ”

"Let's go! Let's check it out! After saying that, Xiang Ying threw away the cigarette in his hand and walked outside the regiment headquarters with the guards.

When Gu Zhenghai came to the playground of the station, the convoy had already driven in. After parking the car, Tang Xingshang jumped out of the car and said, "Political commissar, we have moved back with food and medicine." ”

Gu Zhenghai looked at the supplies on the truck and asked, "What about the regiment commander?!" ”

Tang Xingshang replied: "The head of the regiment still has some things to do to deal with the aftermath. But in terms of time, he is now on his way back. If nothing else, he will be able to return to his station tomorrow at noon. ”
