Chapter 178: The Problem of Eating
Shhh Gao Quan gasped, obediently, so many people! At least more than 5,000 people raised their hands! Five thousand! How can he take care of so many people? It's too late to take it back! As a dignified lieutenant general, it is one thing to go back on his word and not believe in his words, which will greatly lose his prestige, but the most important thing is that there are so many people, if you don't let them eat enough, they can't go out with them! From here to the west of Quzhou, or even to Shangrao and Yingtan, it is not a short circuit, and he can't even eat a full meal, how can he take so many people out?
Gao Quan was thinking about the question of where to let so many miners have a full meal, but suddenly a team of people came from among the miners. There were a lot of miners, but when they saw this group of people, they immediately automatically gave way to the side, and in front of this group of people were two puppet army officers, followed by a group of puppet soldiers, and there were about 100 people. The miners are usually accustomed to being managed by the puppet army, and they are also used to fighting, but now when they see the puppet army, they naturally hide on both sides.
Gao Quan recognized at a glance that the two people who walked at the front of the team were Shi Lei and Xu Laogen. The reconnaissance regiment commander and Lao Xu changed into puppet army uniforms, which seemed to be Xu Gensheng's masterpiece.
"Report!" The two pseudo-officers stood side by side in front of Gao Quan and raised their hands in salute, "The mission has been accomplished!" ”
"Oh?" Gao Quan's eyes swept over the faces of the two of them, and he jumped down from the stone, "Tell me, how many puppet troops are there in the uprising?" Lao Xu, where is your son? ”
"More than half of the puppet army in the mine has agreed to the uprising, numbering nearly 800 people, and Gen Sheng is with the rebel troops. In addition, there are more than 500 people who are Zhang Sheng's people, and Commander Shi and his troops have already solved these 500 people! Xu Laogen was very excited to report the good news to Gao Quan.
The people brought by the head of the stone regiment? That's his scout, of course! When Gao Quan came out, he brought 2,000 scouts, and there were less than 200 people who entered the mining area with him, and the rest of the scouts were on guard around the mining area. There are close enemies, and the scouts are responsible for killing them, and Gao Quan has to rely on these scouts to solve any problems they encounter in the mining area. Five hundred puppet troops, it sounds like a lot, but in fact, that's it, Shi Lei can easily solve it by casually transferring a few hundred scouts.
"More than 500 people slaughtered?" Gao Quan's question was Shi Lei.
"All the prisoners were captured." Shi Lei smiled, "Hehe, the chief didn't give an order, where would I dare to kill so many people?" Less than twenty people died. The rest is closed, waiting for the commander to decide. "The situation on the site is too complicated, there are so many miners, who knows who is inside? The commander of the reconnaissance regiment didn't dare to reveal the identity of Commander Gao Quan now, "In addition, we also rescued a few miners who were imprisoned, and I heard that they are all members of the Red Regime. ”
"Let it go! Immediately give those people food and let them go, overnight! Gao Quan now heard that the people over there had a headache, and waved his hand at Shi Lei again and again.
"I've had the fighters escort those guys out of the country." As the confidant general of the military seat, Shi Lei certainly knew Gao Quan's attitude towards such issues, and before he came to report, Commander Shi had already finished his work. "These people were brought by Xu Gensheng to me, they are all his trusted cronies, what does the chief have to tell these people to do."
Hehe, yes, this Xu Gensheng still has a bit of brains! Gao Quan looked at the No. 10 puppet army and smiled with satisfaction, "I'll give you the first task first," as soon as Gao Quan said this, the eyes of the No. 100 puppet army were all fixed on him, "Take these miners to dinner." Remember, keep each of them fed! ”
The puppet soldiers opened their mouths and were dumbfounded, what kind of order is this? You look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what to do for a while.
"The chief's order has come down, why don't you go quickly?" Shi Lei glared and yelled at the puppet soldiers.
Shi Lei's majesty was still relatively great, and when he shouted out, someone in the puppet army immediately agreed, and the puppet army quickly went to the miners to discuss the matter of eating under the leadership of an officer. The puppet army has been managing the miners in this mine for a few days, and they have been doing things like arranging for the miners to eat every day, and this time it is just to feed the miners, and in fact, the difference from ordinary work is not too big. Gao Quan personally watched the miners under the leadership of the puppet army, walking towards a certain lighted place in the valley, and called Shi Dahai, who was closest to him, to ask, it turned out that it was the "canteen" where the miners usually ate.
"Shi Dahai, you will have dinner later, and first take two people to call Yu Lao Liu and his fellow countrymen. Wait for someone to come up and you will eat again. Gao Quan looked at the strong man in front of him, and a little anticipation flashed in his eyes.
"Yes!" Shi Dahai agreed loudly, and even raised his hand to salute the military, turned back to the team and took out two strong men who were one size younger than him, and the three of them waved to Gao Quanyi and strode into the mine.
Gao Quan looked in the direction of the mine gate and smiled. Shi Dahai's casual salute is not something that a villager who has only seen a few puppet army salutes can imitate, with his way of saluting, he will definitely not be able to do it without more than ten years of practice, this big guy is very likely to participate in a certain warlord army in this nearby province, and the time is not short!
There are too many miners, and there is no canteen where everyone can eat at one time, only to eat separately and eat in batches and times in the canteen. Fortunately, with these puppet troops to lead the way and maintain order, although there are many miners, they also seem noisy and not chaotic; although there are many people who talk to each other and make small movements, there are still relatively few people who run around indiscriminately. As for the order of meals randomly assigned by the puppet army, the miners did not raise any objections. Such a large group of people, although the meal was carried out slowly, was carried out in an orderly manner, slowly but firmly.
Gao Quan stood where he was, watching the miners go to eat. Anyway, it's still early, and it's not time to go to bed. Since he is coming to rescue these miners, the first thing he must do is to give them a full meal, so that these miners can have confidence and persevere in the arduous march in the future, and only then can they survive!
The miners went to a batch, came back again, went again, came back again, and just like that, in batches, in teams, they took turns to go to the miners' canteen for dinner, and Gao Quan was always standing in place and waiting. Not bad, but the canteen has never been out of food, and no matter how many miners go, there is always enough food to be served. From this point of view, Gao Quan is still quite satisfied with Xu Gensheng, the son of Xu Laogen who became a puppet army, and this job is not something that anyone can do.
After eating, the miners continued to stay where they had just stood, whether they were sitting or standing or lying down, at least a large group of people were together. Halfway through the miners' meal, Shi Dahai led the people back.
