"Yes, battalion commander, they are from the 500th Army, I have checked their documents. No problem with the documents. Did you come in person? Good! "This is the artillery battalion position of the 99th Division, and now the friendly troops of the 500th Army are coming, and the company commander in charge of guarding will of course report to the battalion commander.

Although the 99th Army is also the main force of Minister Chen's civil engineering department, it is not the backbone of the 18th Army, which is a side branch. The commander of the artillery battalion of the 99th Division, the main trunk of the army, was also not equipped with a jeep, and the major came on horseback.

Seeing that a major had come, Zhang Erxiao, who knew in his heart that this was probably the commander of this artillery unit, quietly glanced at the brigade staff officer beside him. As soon as the major gave the command, the soldiers who were drinking water immediately put down their water bowls and stood in line.

"You're allies of the 500 Army?" The battalion commander rode his horse to a place less than ten meters away from Zhang Erxiao and them before turning over and dismounting, holding a horse whip and tilting his head to look at the ranks of the 500 Army, a little domineering.

"Major, we are the training team of the 500th Army, I am the leader, this is my ID." The staff officer of the brigade headquarters went over and saluted, took out his ID card and handed it over with both hands. This is someone's territory, rashly come to the door, as a guest army, it is appropriate to lower your posture.

The major carrying the horsewhip took the document with one hand and opened it and was stunned, Qin Baoshan, a staff officer at the brigade headquarters, with the rank of major? How could a brigade headquarters staff officer lead a team out to conduct training? The battalion commander was also confused like the company commander. However, there is no doubt about the authenticity of this document, and the battalion commander can still distinguish this.

He is also a major, and he is also a senior staff member of the brigade headquarters. Although it was not an army, the battalion commander did not dare to lose respect, so he hurriedly threw the horse whip to the ground, handed back the officer ID with both hands, and raised his right hand to return the salute, "Li Weixian, commander of the artillery battalion of the 99th Division." "There is no need to show up the officer's card, and there is an entire position and artillery battalion officers and soldiers to testify to themselves, and they can't fake it." Staff Officer Qin, you are a senior staff member of the brigade headquarters, how could you personally lead the troops down to practice? "The topics that are inconvenient for the company commander to ask, as a battalion commander of the same rank, are much more casual to ask.

"Alas, it's not our brigade commander yet! What is required of all officers to be able to lead troops, regardless of civilian and military positions, they must be able to lead troops to fight! Do you think I've figured it out? Those who can't eat well and can't sleep in this treacherous mountain and water are sin of old age! I've been nibbling on hard dough cakes for two days now! Actually, I'm not afraid of hardship, it's just that I had a stomach ulcer in my early years, and I couldn't eat cold and hard things. People can stand it, but my stomach can't stand it! After two days of nibbling on hard dough cakes, my stomach started hurting this morning! Hearing the artillery battalion commander ask himself, Staff Officer Qin was like an old friend he had met for many years, and he pulled Li Weixian to turn his back and began to complain.

"Stomach ulcers? Then won't you tell your brigade commander that you are not in good physical condition and can't lead the team out? The artillery battalion commander was quite sympathetic, and when he heard about this person's miserable experience, he immediately gave the other party an idea.

"Don't mention it! Our brigade commander is a big man! Where do I dare to talk to him about this? Last time, it was the turn of a section chief in charge of logistics at the brigade headquarters to lead the team out for training, and he had arthritis. When he asked him to lead the team down, he went to the brigade commander to ask for leave, and guess what? ”

"What's wrong?" The artillery battalion commander cooperated really tacitly, and he also knew how to add connecting particles at critical moments.

"Our brigade commander directly asked the section chief to do a ten-kilometer armed cross-country run! Run 10 kilometers with a 40-pound weight on your back! It's all mountain roads! As a result, Section Chief Zhang retired directly after running, and his leg was lame! I probably can't live without crutches in my life. Staff Officer Qin sighed, with indescribable pathos on his face.

"Shhhh Levi gasped first! It turned out that the commander of the 99th Division was strict enough, but how do you know that compared to the brigade commander of other people, it is simply a small thing! Is this still the National Revolutionary Army? The whole one warlord! It's still happier to live in the Ninety-Nine Division! "Then Brother Qin, is there anything wrong with coming back to me?" The fate of people is very wonderful, and after a few words, Li Weixian felt that the relationship with this Qin staff officer seemed to be much closer all of a sudden, and even the title was changed.

"Brother is here to take refuge in my brother!" Since Staff Officer Qin was able to be pushed to the front by Brigade Commander Zhang, of course he was a clever person, and following Battalion Commander Li's words, he directly addressed him as a brother. "Brother thinks of your brother's begging for a bowl of hot rice, rest for half a day, and you can go back early tomorrow morning to resume your life. I just don't know if the guy is willing to take him in? ”

This is hypocritical enough, you are all here, and you still ask if they are willing to take them in? If you don't take it in, you guys will have to be kicked out, but looking at Li Weixian's affectionate appearance towards Qin Baoshan, he probably won't refuse.

"Well, eating, drinking, and resting are not a problem. It is not uncommon for friendly forces to take care of each other and provide some convenience. If I get to your 500 army and look for something to eat, your brother Qin won't refuse, right? ”

"Of course! One day, Brother Li will go to my 500 Army Independent Brigade, and I will have all the food, accommodation, and play brothers! Qin Baoshan went up as he spoke, whether it was true or not, anyway, it made people feel comfortable listening to it.

"Good! Just say this to you, brother, today you and your troops eat and stay, and my brother is all covered! Qin Baoshan's words made Li Weixian's heart hot, and he blurted out that he agreed to all of Section Chief Qin's requests! However, Baoshan, let's fall in love, and I won't hide it from you. The brothers of the 500 Army are friendly troops, so there is no problem with eating and drinking, and there is no problem with staying for a night or two, and we can find a place here. It's just that I have to say hello to our senior teacher about this. "The artillery battalion is a unit directly under the division, and Li Weixian, the battalion commander's direct superior, is the division commander Gao Zhiyuan.

"Don't!" Staff Officer Qin hurriedly pulled Battalion Commander Li, "Brother, if you want to drive your brother away, you can say it clearly!" How dare you know about this? Who knows if Senior Commander Gao and our Brigade Commander Zhang have any contacts, and whether they know each other or not? Who can tell the governors about it? What do they have to do with each other, we as subordinates don't know at all! In case Senior Division Commander asks our brigade commander again, my brother's retirement is a trivial matter, and he will go to half his life with a military stick! If you want to stay, I'll stay, if you don't keep my brother, you will leave, and you should make Brother Li a friend! As he spoke, Staff Officer Qin stood up and was about to gather his troops.

"Alright! When you are a brother, you will do your brother a favor! Li Wei fought from the Battle of Guinan to the Second Battle of Changsha, and the residual warmth of the blood tempered on the battlefield did not drop, and at this moment, Qin Baoshan took the words and agreed. In his mind, they are all friendly forces, so what's the big deal if they stay for one night?

Qin Baoshan followed Li Weixian and the two of them to talk and laugh and went to the barracks, Zhang Erxiao followed the soldiers of the army in a line and followed behind, and this time he was finally able to eat a hot meal.
