Chapter 9: Sending Your Child to the Battlefield
After Gou Si and Huangpi Yang Erleng left, Gao Quan also left the Fugui Grain Station with his people. The work of poisoning the rice has been almost completed, and the rest is Liu Fugui's business. Liu Fugui also packed up all the valuable things at home, and after waiting for the devils to transport this batch of grain, he left the county with his family and went to the southern Guotong region to continue to run his grain station.
Liu Qi and Gao Quan also took it away, since Liu Fugui is ready to leave the county, it is not safe for Liu Qi to stay in the city, Gao Quan likes this clever young man very much, brings it to his side, and cultivates it in the future.
Although the action at night was more urgent, when Gao Quan was leaving, he still went to the Rejuvenation Hall to thank Li Qingshan. People have helped him a lot in the past few days, sent so many medicinal materials, and did not receive a penny, people are supporting the Anti-Japanese War, Gao Quan's personal gratitude, but he can't help but express it.
Mr. Li was very happy with Gao Quan's visit, and heard that Gao Quan and they were about to leave the city, so he specially asked his son Li Qi to come out to meet him, and told Gao Quan that Li Qi would follow Gao Quan in the future. Gao Quan was shocked, Li Qi is Li Qingshan's only son, and he will inherit his Rejuvenation Hall Pharmacy in the future, and follow himself to the barracks, this year is not very peaceful, the army must be ready to fight with devils at any time, if Li Qi has a good one, the old Li family will be extinct in the future!
"Mr. Li, this is absolutely unacceptable. Li Qi is the future young owner of Mr. Huichun Hall, how can he follow Gao to the army? Our army may start a war with the Japanese at any time, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, Gao is afraid that when the war is urgent, he will not be able to protect Li Qi's thoughtfulness! ”
"Company Commander Gao's words are wrong! Li learned medicine at an early age, and also studied physiognomy. Li Mouguan Gao Company Commander is by no means a person with a short life and a thin fortune, and his life has his own great wealth. The dog has been studying medicine with me for nearly 20 years, and has made small achievements in both medicine and surgery. On the front line of the Anti-Japanese War, the soldiers fought bloodily against the Japanese invaders, how could there be no shortage of military doctors on the battlefield? Li has passed the sixtieth year of the year, and his physical strength is not good, and he can't fight on the battlefield with the soldiers, so let my son serve the country on my behalf. As for the danger of the battlefield, Li naturally knew it. Which of our soldiers was not born and raised by their parents? They can all go to the battlefield and sacrifice for the country, how can my son Li Qingshan spare his own life! can treat more soldiers of the Anti-Japanese War, let more warriors return to the battlefield, even if my son sacrifices his life for the country, Li Mou will be able to smile Jiuquan in the future. The old gentleman's words were deep and meaningful, and his righteous and awe-inspiring words almost didn't put down Gao Quan's tears.
"Son, as soon as you leave the house today, you will be considered to be serving the country. In the future, don't think about your family, just do your duty as a doctor for my anti-Japanese soldiers. But if the Japanese invaders are on my Chinese land for a day, my son will not be allowed to go home! If my son is sacrificed, the old man will build a grave and burn paper for my son. ”
Before his son went out, the father first said such unlucky words to his face, Gao Quan's tears rolled twice in his eyes, and he couldn't bear it.
Li Qi burst into tears and crawled to the ground to kowtow to his father four times. The old lady had already cried into tears, and under Li Qingshan's stern eyes, she forced herself to sit on the chair and did not go over to hug her son. Li Qi kowtowed to his mother four times in a regular manner, walked over and hugged the old lady, then stood up, and resolutely went out without looking back!
Gao Quan bowed to the two venerable old men, and then walked out, and the suppressed cry of the old lady of the Li family sounded behind him.
Gao Quan's heart felt as if he had knocked over a vinegar bottle, not to mention the uncomfortable energy. I acted like a bandit bully today, and when I came, I took away my only son, if I didn't come this time!
"Li Qi, if I don't come to your house today, you don't have to follow me to the army, do you complain about me in your heart?"
"Nothing to complain about. The Japanese invaded my China, and every Chinese man should go to the front line to fight! If you don't come today, I will go to the Fugui Grain Station tomorrow to find you, but I don't know that you will leave tonight. My father said that when you leave, you will definitely come to the house to say goodbye, and he said that in just these two days, you will leave, and I have been staying at home for the past few days and have not gone anywhere, just waiting for you to come. ”
Sure enough, it's a martyr!
Although it was getting late, with Li Qi following, it didn't take much trouble to get out of the city gate. Huichun Hall is the most famous pharmacy in the city, and Li Qi, as the young owner of the pharmacy, has good medical skills, and it is common for people to visit their homes. Ten miles and eight towns, not necessarily which family has an acute illness, need to be seen by the young owner, it is not unprecedented, although the puppet army likes to make things difficult, but it will not be difficult for famous doctors like Li's father and son. The group went out of the city smoothly.
Since Gou Si only said that it was the second half of the night, he didn't know what time it was, where the devil came from, and which way he went. Gao Quan could only order the troops to go out and try their luck. Fortunately, the devil is from the north, and this cannot be wrong. Yutian County is not a particularly big city, although the transportation is convenient, there are only two roads to the north.
The road to the west passes through a small dirt hill, and the terrain is not too complicated, but it can be an ambush. There is a bridge across the river on the east side of the road, and the head of the bridge is connected to a large woods, which is also a place where ambushes can be placed. It's just that Gao Quan has only one company in his hands, and two ambushes are set up, so the manpower is definitely not enough. There is no time to think about it, so you can only arrange people on one road. The road to the west was close to the barracks, so Gao Quan ambushed his troops on the small dirt hill, and then scattered all the reconnaissance platoons, half of each of the two roads, and searched along the road.
Zhang Erxiao led ten soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon to search along the road to the east, and the platoon commander Qian Sixi led the team to the west. Before leaving, Liu Qi from the Fugui Grain Station proposed to the company commander and asked to come out with the reconnaissance and platoon to carry out the task. Gao Quan thought that this kid had a more flexible mind, so he agreed to follow him to exercise. Anyway, the task of the reconnaissance platoon is not to exchange fire with the enemy, as long as the enemy situation is discovered, it is enough to come back and report it in time, so Zhang Erxiao's team has another recruit.
At night, the shadows of the trees, the cool breeze gusts, and the cold moonlight shines on the earth, and the road surface is faintly visible. The soldiers of the reconnaissance platoon walked forward quickly, stopping from time to time to observe the movements around them. When they arrived at a place with narrow roads and uneven potholes, Zhang Erxiao asked the soldiers to dig a few pits in the ground and bury a few infantry mines.
"Platoon deputy, bury mines here, how can we come back?" Liu Qi, who joined the army for the first time, was very serious, carefully observing the every move of his comrades-in-arms around him, striving to become a qualified soldier as soon as possible.
"The mines we planted are marked, so be careful when you walk at home." Zhang Erxiao said easily, but Liu Qi didn't dare to be careless, and carefully remembered the characteristics of the places where the mines were laid, he didn't want to be blown up by the mines he planted.
After walking forward for another half an hour or so, Zhang Erxiao suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture to stop advancing. Ten people immediately squatted down in place.
