"I am Wang Dong, a member of the political committee of the Yanmen Pass District Armed Forces of the Eighth Route Army. This is the head of the Guan section of the enemy engineering department. Across from him stood two soldiers in coarse cloth shirts and military caps. The thin and tall one opened his mouth and introduced himself as the two members of the Eighth Route Army.

Hu Fei knew about the Eighth Route Army, but he had never been in contact with that side. Tomorrow the troops will go to the front line, and he doesn't know what is the matter with these two Eighth Route Army cadres coming to him now.

"Welcome, welcome, welcome both. You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll call the kitchen for you. Plugs, go to inform the kitchen, make two dishes, make two bowls of noodles, there are distinguished guests! "The Eighth Route Army is also an anti-Japanese force, and Hu Fei's cavalry brigade is not the Central Army, so there is no gap between him and the Eighth Route Army.

"Captain Hu is so polite, we've eaten." Section Chief Guan hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"If you come, you're a guest. We are all friendly troops, and the two of us have come to my territory, and if we still tell the guests to leave hungry, won't we let those who know laugh at me for snubbing the guests? I've just finished eating here, and you two have come all the way, how can you possibly eat? You two don't have to be polite, what's the matter, let's talk while eating. ”

Without saying anything, Hu Fei put the two cadres of the Eighth Route Army in the chair. There was not much time, so the orderly brought a few plates of cold dishes from the kitchen, boiled peanuts, tea eggs, mixed dried tofu, and beef in sauce. Hu Fei took out another bottle of Fenjiu, and a table of simple wine and dishes was all right.

The cadres of the Eighth Route Army said that they would not drink, but under Hu Fei's kind persuasion, each person had to pour a small bowl.

"To meet is to be fateful. Although we met for the first time, we were both soldiers who fought against Japan and fought devils. In order to cooperate with each other on the battlefield and better eliminate the Japanese devils, let's have a toast! Hu Fei raised his wine bowl. Political Commissar Wang and Section Chief Guan glanced at each other, and had no choice but to reluctantly clink glasses with Hu Fei.

Hu Fei's amount of alcohol was practiced on Wanghai Mountain, it can't be said that a thousand cups are not drunk, anyway, drinking a pound or two of liquor is not a big deal. These are all secondary, mainly because he drinks too much. A small bowl of nearly two taels of liquor, Hu Fei dried it as soon as he raised his neck! After drinking, he also lit up the bottom of the bowl, and the two cadres of the Eighth Route Army looked at it, yes, let's do it too!

"Good amount of alcohol! Come on, come on, eat the vegetables and eat the vegetables. ”

Hu Fei picked up the chopsticks and held on. Before the two of them could swallow two slices of beef, the wine bowl that was full of wine over there was served again.

"Cheers. Li Baidou has 100 poems about wine, and Guan Yu has beheaded Huaxiong with warm wine. We can't compare with the ancients, so let's drink Fenjiu and kill devils! Two, I'm a rough person, I don't pay attention to my words, don't blame you, come, let's have another drink! ”

This person talks about the past and the present, but humbs himself as a rough man, and the two cadres of the Eighth Route Army simply don't know what to say. The three of them pushed the cup and drank it. After drinking it for a while, the noodles were ready. Hand-rolled noodles, smelling fragrant. After Hu Fei had eaten, the two bowls of noodles were directly served to the political commissar and section chief of the Eighth Route Army.

Those two were indeed hungry, and they couldn't care about being polite when the food was served. The two of them picked up chopsticks and devoured a fierce meal, and the two bowls of noodles were eaten in an instant. As soon as the rice bowl was put down, the wine bowl that had just wiped his mouth and Hu Fei was raised again, and it seemed that he was going to have a full meal and drink today!

Political Commissar Wang saw that it was not a matter to go on like this, so he quickly picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Hu Fei, and after taking a sip, he hurried to get down to business. If you don't talk about it, if you don't talk about it for a while, you can't talk about it when you're drunk!

"Captain Hu, thank you for your hospitality, but we still have to make some things clear today. During this time, you have been busy expanding your troops and integrating local armed forces, and you may not have noticed that several of the local armed forces you have incorporated are actually in contact with our Eighth Route Army. ”

"We've already set their numbers, and we're waiting for the final date to pull them over, but you've taken all those local armed forces in the middle of the day today. You are a little suspicious of undermining the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, right? As soon as Wang Dong said this, the section chief of the enemy engineering department also put down the wine bowl, and the two of them stared at Hu Fei with their eyes.

"Is there such a thing?" Hu Fei put down the wine bowl and made a surprised expression, "Could this be a misunderstanding?" Don't worry, I'll let someone check it. Chief of staff! Liu Dong! ”

The orderly ran over, "Brother Fei, the chief of staff has gone to the headquarters to get the baggage." ”

"The chief of staff went to the headquarters? What about Gou Tianxiao? Go and call Gou Tianxiao to me! ”

"Yes!" The orderly turned around and went out to find someone.

"Come, let's continue."

Seeing that Hu Fei was very drunk, the two political commissars Wang accompanied them for two more bowls, and then said that they would not drink anything. Tens of thousands of troops on both sides of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party set up a battlefield at Pingxingguan, and at the critical juncture of a decisive battle with the devils, how could the two of them, as revolutionary soldiers, drink too much before the war? Hu Fei can't control them, they are the national army, but as middle-level officers of the Eighth Route Army, they must be strict with themselves.

When Hu Fei saw that people were not drinking, he put down the wine bowl and announced that dinner was over. The orderly came up and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and the servants sat down there and began to drink tea.

This wait was more than half an hour, Hu Fei sent someone to urge twice, and Gou Tianxiao was late. As soon as Hu Fei met, he asked: "Tianxiao Company Commander, I sent someone to call you for more than an hour now, what do you have to do with your old man, why did you come now?" ”

"Brother Fei, there are a lot of recruits in the army, and I've been busy arranging the recruits and issuing military uniforms and firearms. When you called me, two recruits were arguing over a rifle. One said that the new gun was issued to him, and the other said that whoever got it was theirs. The two of them quarreled until the end and almost fought! ”

"I was educating two recruits at the time. I'm afraid that as soon as I leave, the two of them will fight again, and they will not rush over until I have dealt with this matter. ”

"Alright, okay, don't talk to me about your trivial things. Let me ask you, are there any recruits you have received in the past few days from the Eighth Route Army? Have you ever heard someone say that they were ready to join the Eighth Route Army beforehand? ”

"The Eighth Route Army? No! I dare to vouch for my head, absolutely not! Gou Tianxiao concluded that there were absolutely no people from the Eighth Route Army in his troops!

Hu Fei then called Ji Jinbiao, Xiong Wei, and Yang Jinsheng one by one to ask, and these three also said they didn't know about the matter.

The faces of Political Commissar Wang and Section Chief Guan were a little ugly. It's been more than two hours since they came, but there are no clues, are they coming in vain today?

It's nothing to run for nothing, at least the two of them ate Hu Fei for nothing today. However, if there is no result of today's matter, will some people say that they are unreasonable and deliberately create friction before the war? If that happens, it's not going to be easy!

Just when the two cadres of the Eighth Route Army were a little embarrassed, the arrival of Li San, the commander of the supplementary company, made things turn around.
