Chapter 41: Reconnaissance of the New Fifth Army
Sun Dianying left his adjutant Guo Yusheng to wait to receive the support materials of the 500 Army, and he himself left the 500 Army with the rest of his entourage at least on horseback.
Gao Quan sent two guards to lead Guo Yusheng to Zheng Guotai. The equipment replaced by the 500 army is all under the overall management of Deputy Division Commander Zheng, since Gao Quan has promised Sun Dianying, the things given to others must not be too shabby, at least the guns sent out must be able to fight, and the military uniform must also be able to wear, even if there is a hole on the top, it has also been patched, and Sun Dianying cannot be left to blame!
For this reason, Commander Gao specially hung up the phone to Deputy Division Commander Zheng to explain the matter. Sun Dianying is going to take these guns to the battlefield to fight with the devils, if half of the guns given by Zheng Guotai can't fire, wouldn't it be a big mistake? When the time comes, not only Sun Dianying will scold his mother, but Gao Quan himself may not be able to forgive himself.
sent Sun Dianying away, and also sent away Adjutant Guo of the New Fifth Army, Gao Quan called Shi Lei.
"Shi, you give me a good investigation of the New Fifth Army, especially Sun Dianying! I suspect that this Sun Laodian has some kind of behind-the-scenes entanglement with the devil! This tomb robber is the commander of the New Fifth Army, which is also a regular unit in the national army sequence. If this army surrenders to the Japanese invaders, it will be extremely unfavorable not only to us, to the Ninth Theater, but also to the situation of the whole country in the War of Resistance, and even a heavy blow! It will have an extremely bad impact at home and abroad! We must be on guard! ”
"Yes!" After listening to what the military seat said, Shi Lei's face also became serious.
"Or remember to keep it secret, whether it is before or after the investigation, you don't disclose this matter to anyone except to report to me!" Everyone is a military-level unit, and the 500 Army has no authority to investigate the New Fifth Army at all. If it is verified, it is fine, but once the truth is not verified, it will be a big trouble to leak out! After all, this matter is just a faint feeling of Gao Quan. "If you find the slightest clue, you must report it to me in time!"
"Yes!" From beginning to end, Shi Lei only said this one word. Until Gao Quan finished speaking, Head Shi saluted and left without saying a second word. The order of the military seat has been made very clear, he does not need to ask any questions at all, just follow the order and carry it out.
Sun Laodian, don't you think about surrendering to me now! To surrender you surrender alone! If you dare to pull an army of more than 10,000 people to surrender under the noses of the 500 army, I will not agree!
After Gao Quan grabbed the golden knife for a while, he asked for the three bead chains from Biaozi's hand and hugged them in his arms, turned around and went to the back to find Hong Yingying's treasure. Even if this thing is eventually going to be exchanged for money to buy guns and guns, it's never too much to let your women wear them and admire them now.
This is an open-air restaurant not far from the city, and the restaurant's main dishes include roasted cakes, chaos, steamed buns, porridge, tea and eggs, and also sells tea.
Although there are not many varieties of food, because the small restaurant is economical, and it is located on the edge of the traffic artery out of the city and into the city, the boss and his family have survived, and the business has been good, even better than some restaurants in the city. No, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, a group of passers-by came to eat and drink tea.
These people didn't look like they were from the nearby villages, but they looked like they had come from a long distance, and their shoes and trouser legs were covered with dust. However, for the boss and his wife, this situation is also seen a lot, the restaurant is open to the roadside outside the city, when must you meet a few visitors from other places? In the middle of the morning, there were two merchants from Shaanxi who ate a few baked cakes and eggs at their restaurant.
"Boss, my brother is hungry for walking, hurry up and serve us food! Take ten buns, baked cakes, tea and eggs from your store, and Chaos will serve five bowls first! The little man in the hat at the head shouted loudly before he could enter the door.
"Hey, here we are! Brothers, please sit down first, chaos will be in the pot, I will serve the baked cakes, tea and eggs to a few now, the buns will be cooked in two minutes, please sit down and wait! "The boss enthusiastically let the five guests into the greenhouse, five guests, and the small table was divided into two tables.
"Two pots of tea, five bowls!"
"Hey, it's coming." The proprietress ran out with an apron, and the boss turned around and went to the stove to start working, boiling water, cutting chaos, cutting coriander and chopped green onions.
A bowl of tea has just been drunk halfway, and the buns are cooked. The steaming big meat buns are served, and the fragrance is tempting. Several out-of-town guests here swallowed their saliva vigorously, and with a few big hands, the two plates of steamed buns went down half in an instant.
"Hey, boss, your buns are good, white and big, take a bite of DC oil! When it smells, it tastes even better! A short-haired young junior grabbed a bun in his hand, deliberately inhaled sharply when the proprietress walked by, made a "whoop" sound, and then smiled at the proprietress and showed a mouthful of white teeth.
"If it's delicious, you can eat a few more, let's have enough buns here!" The proprietress grinned and made half-vegetarian jokes with the young junior.
The leader sat down and stopped talking, drinking the tea without a sip, and slowly biting a sesame biscuit in his hand.
There was a black-faced man sitting next to him, his face was already black, and with the short beard stubble on half of his face, he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. The black-faced man put his head close to the leader and whispered: "The front is the county seat, do you need to ask if the military headquarters of the New Fifth Army is in the city?" ”
The leader nodded slightly, raised his hand and took off the wide-brimmed top hat on his head, revealing a white face, it turned out that this was Shi Lei, the commander of the reconnaissance regiment of the 500th Army! Shi Lei personally led his troops to reconnoiter this time.
The black-faced scout next to him just wanted to speak, Shi Lei shook his head slightly, and the scout grabbed the bun and gagged it.
"Boss, I heard that we have a new Fifth Army here, how is this unit? A few brothers want to walk around the county town and find some work, so they won't cause any trouble, right? Don't let the scouts ask, Shi Lei asked the boss for information by himself.
"Trouble? I don't think so. I saw it when the New Fifth Army came, and there weren't many people in the troops, and I hadn't heard anyone talk about the New Fifth Army causing trouble in the city these days. A few of you are in the city, as long as you are careful, you should be fine, right? Hey, there's one thing to note! The proprietress stretched her head to Shi Lei's side, "I heard that this new Fifth Army commander is a bald head and a pockmarked face, and has two nicknames called Sun Laodian and Sun Hemp." You don't dare to call these two names in the city, and if you don't let the soldiers hear them, something will happen! ”
"Sun Laodian, Sun Hemp. Okay, I made a note of it. Thank you hostess! Bring us five more buns! ”
"Shopkeeper, let's have ten more." A few grinning voices immediately sounded next to him.
"Okay, ten more buns!" Shi Lei agreed with a smile, picked up an egg and began to peel it.
