Chapter 114: The right time, the right place, and the right people
After dealing with the Yang family's case, Gao Quan took Hong Yingying, Tang Wenjuan and others back to the headquarters. Along the way, reporter Tang still held Gao Quan's arm tightly and didn't let go, putting on a pitiful look that I was frightened and needed someone to take care of me. Gao Quan couldn't get angry if he wanted to, who let the family have problems in Quzhou City under his control? To put it simply, the 500 Army's control of the city was not strict enough.
Gao Quan has always been accustomed to leading troops deep behind enemy lines to cause sabotage, and today he actually let the devil touch his hinterland! Looking at this whole thing, the more he thought about it on the way back, the more depressed he became, and the fragrant words next to him couldn't solve the depression in his heart.
As soon as he entered the gate of the headquarters, Shi Lei greeted him, "The military seat and Director Hong are back, come in and rest." Reporter Tang has worked hard, how is it, everything is okay? ”
"Okay, kill a few Japanese spies, shoot a traitor. Stones, how's it going, did you find the old man over sixty years old you were looking for? "If you don't find Shi Lei, you won't come back, Gao Quan is a question that knows the answer.
"Found it. According to the instructions of the military seat, I found six from six different directions in Quzhou City. ”
"Good! I'm going to see them now! Gao Quan clapped his hands and swept away the depressed look just now, and his two eyes regained their brilliance.
Tang Wenjuan opened her hand lightly, took two steps back, and stood with Hong Yingying. The beautiful reporter is not obsessed with ignorant little women, they were showing their identities to outsiders just now, and now that the military seat has something to do, of course a smart woman knows when to retreat into the background. Tang Wenjuan and Hong Yingying held hands, and watched with a smile as Gao Quan followed Shi Lei around the corner in the corridor and disappeared, the two looked at each other and smiled, and entered the room hand in hand.
There were six people sitting in the reception room, almost all of them in their sixties and seventies, and an officer was talking to these six people, and there were soldiers next to them making tea for these six people. As soon as Gao Quan came in, all the soldiers in the room immediately stood upright and raised their hands to salute: "Good military seat!" The old men knew that it was the chief who was coming, and quickly stood up, they couldn't salute, and it was inappropriate to raise their hands to say hello, and it seemed wrong to bow, and a few people stood there, looking at Gao Quan at a loss, and they didn't know what the chief had called them for.
"Uncles, please take a seat." Gao Quan came in and first waved at everyone, and then pointed to the stool and asked the old people to sit down. The big guy was sitting very comfortably just now, but as soon as Gao Quan came in, why was it awkward to sit? The six of them sat there and twisted their bodies, their eyes looking at Gao Quan in unison, waiting for the chief's next words.
"I am Gao Quan, the commander of the 500th Army. Our army was ordered by the Commander's Department of the Third Theater to enter Quzhou to resist the Japanese invaders under the city of Quzhou! Although our army has the determination to resist and serve the country, it is not familiar with the geographical environment of the Quzhou area. Today's torrential rain caused the Japanese secret service team to sneak into the city, and took advantage of the rainy night when our army was negligent in guarding against it, killing eight of our loyal and brave soldiers one after another! You are all old Quzhou, Gao Quan is here just to ask you, how heavy can this rain be, and how long can it rain? This matter is very important to whether our army can hold Quzhou, please tell the truth to a few uncles! ”
Six people, you look at me, I see you look at each other, hesitated for a while, and an old gentleman who looked more bookish first stood up and spoke, "General Gao," the old man's hair was gray, and he hugged Gao Quan before speaking, and Gao Quan hurriedly returned the military salute.
"General Gao, as far as the old man knows, fighting a war pays attention to the right time, place and people. The general's fight against the Japanese invaders in Quzhou is to ensure the safety of Quzhou. The people of Quzhou are the tiger army that welcomes the general, which is to occupy the people; Now that the heavy rain has arrived, it is inconvenient for the Japanese to march, and our army is refusing to defend the city, and the general occupies the sky; This geographical advantage, the Japanese invaded our country, and the general is my Chinese general, of course, he has the geographical advantage! The time and place are favorable, and our army is invincible? The old and the old are old, they can't go into battle, they can't take it, and today they can give advice to the general, and it is not in vain that I am waiting for my old age. Hehe, are we also contributing to the country? ”
"Of course, the old gentleman's patriotic ambition can be seen by the sun and the moon, and the younger generation admires it."
"Hehe, General Gao is polite." said that the other party was polite, but these old men squinted their eyes and smiled one by one, obviously Gao Quan's flattering words were very comfortable. "Quzhou City belongs to Zhejiang, has always been one of the cities with a lot of rain, every summer and autumn there must be heavy rain, rivers rising water is commonplace. If the general asks about today's rain, according to the old man's estimate, it will rain for at least two days, and the rain may increase in the second half of the night! ”
"No, it's raining for at least three days, no, at least four days! It will get bigger and bigger day by day! Another old man retorted.
"What do you mean by four days? Five days for sure! Today's rain is a model of rain in the past five days, and it will continue to rain with such a large amount of rain every day that it will not stop until the fifth day! I'm sure of that! ”
"Are you sure? Why are you sure? Who are you to affirm such a militaristic event? General Gao, don't listen to them, if it rains today, it will rain today, and if it doesn't rain tomorrow, it won't rain tomorrow. There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. This is handed down by the Chinese ancestors, so it must not be wrong! How can manpower be good at measuring Tianwei? "This old man is a man who doubts everything and negates it together.
Several old men were chattering and noisy, and Gao Quan was next to him with a smile and a smile, listening carefully to the old men's speeches. The old man has only one meaning, today's rain is definitely not today's day, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, in short, this rain will rain for at least two days, if it is more, it may be five days. As for the amount of rain, it's basically small today anyway, and it may intensify tomorrow during the day and night. The water in the Qujiang and Wuxi rivers is bound to skyrocket, and in short, there is no need to think about wading or swimming across the river in the next week.
All right! That's what Gao Quan wants! The old man's words further confirmed the authenticity of Qu Jiang's words, and the vague plan in Gao Quan's heart immediately became clear.
"Thank you uncles, your words can be regarded as a great help to our army, and after the victory of the Battle of Quzhou, you will definitely ask the government for your credit! Guys, please go down and have some snacks. "I brought people here so late, and I couldn't say that I didn't care about food for a long time, so Gao Quan beckoned the orderly to take a few old people down to eat.
Meeting! Inform the commander of the engineer regiment, the commander of the cavalry regiment, the commander of the artillery regiment, the commander of the special service regiment, and the commander of the reconnaissance regiment to immediately go to the military headquarters for a meeting! Gao Quan doesn't care that it's close to midnight now, there is no concept of time in the middle of the battle with the devil, the devil has not stopped attacking since the morning, the devil does not stop, our army does not stop, the big guy is here to consume!
