Chapter Twenty-Six: The Tight Ferry

The lieutenant colonel of the Fifth Independent Brigade was directly stunned there. Gao Quan's words were full of promises, but his words were really no different from not saying anything. The Fifth Independent Brigade wanted to cross the river with Gao Quan's 256th Regiment, that is, it wanted to share a boat. Gao Quan is good, and directly said that he would wait until he crossed the river before giving the boat. Can you not give it, can you still carry the boat away if you don't give it to you? Especially the word transfer, his meaning could not be clearer, these two ships could not be given in vain, the independent Fifth Brigade must pay the price, as for what the price is, it will have to be discussed again.

Minister Wu looked at Gao Quan, and didn't mention this awkwardness in his heart. He is the quartermaster of the Fifth Independent Brigade, and he usually deals with all kinds of businessmen, so he naturally knows the meaning of the word transfer. It's just that the person who is talking to him now is not a businessman, but the head of a dignified group, and what he wants to discuss is the ferry boat that the army is eager to use to cross the river, and it will be replaced by an ordinary person, or an ordinary businessman, he has already led the troops to forcibly requisition, how can he be accompanied by a smiling face like this? But now the ferry is really nervous, their own family is asking for others, everyone is a system, and they can't solve it by force, so in desperation, they have to be patient and discuss with Gao Quan.

"Commander Gao, since your group wants to cross the river first, of course this Wu can understand. But after crossing the river, isn't the ferry useless, where does the word transfer come from? "You don't need it, what else do you want to transfer?" Why don't you send the ship to my independent Fifth Brigade, Wu will definitely remember the favor of Regiment Commander Gao. ”

"Minister Wu misunderstood," Gao Quan was still smiling, "I also bought these two boats at a high price." There are quite a few troops who want to use the ships now. Gao handed over the ship to Minister Wu, and he would definitely offend other friendly forces! If others asked, why didn't Gao hand over the boat to them, Gao would have replied, saying that Minister Wu of the Fifth Independent Brigade had bought it at a great price, so it would be easy to explain to all aspects, right? Gao also explained, and Minister Wu also saved the embarrassment, isn't this the best of both worlds? Listening to the meaning of his words, it seems that he is still thinking about Minister Wu.

Minister Wu was completely speechless for this statement. Anyway, he had to get his hands on this ship today, so he simply said it thoroughly, "Then ask Head Gao to explain how much the transfer fee is, so that Wu can know in his heart, and after he turns around and sees the brigade, he can reply." ”

"Minister Wu is really cheerful, then I will have something to say. Since everyone is Commander-in-Chief Wei's subordinates, it will be outside the money to be withdrawn. They are all soldiers, of course, let's talk about military matters. I don't want much, these two boats, each press two Makqin heavy machine guns, 2,000 rounds of ammunition, two boats are four machine guns, 4,000 rounds of ammunition. What do you think? Gao Quan's eyes narrowed with laughter, a fat sheep was sent to the door for slaughter, how could he not be happy?

Minister Wu closed his eyes for five seconds, his cheeks puffed up, as if he had calculated in his heart, and as if he had made some kind of determination, after his eyes opened, he reached out and shook Gao Quan, "Okay, a word is a deal!" On the last trip of Commander Gao's troops across the river, I asked my subordinates to come with machine guns. After Captain Gao rowed the boat to the other side of the river, he asked my people to row the boat over. In addition, I also ask Commander Gao to ensure the safety of the ship during this period, and I hope that there will be no accidents on the way! When he said the last two words, Minister Wu deliberately accentuated his tone, he was a little unsure whether Gao Quan would meet a higher bid from another family and resell the ship to other troops.

"Gao is a good man, this ship is the Fifth Independent Brigade!" Gao Quan is actually quite honest in business, and he also knows the principle of first come, first come. In addition, he really didn't want to offend the Fifth Independent Brigade, as he said, everyone is the elite of the Central Army, and they are all from the 14th Group Army.

As soon as Minister Wu left, there was another wave of tricksters. From the embankment over there, a group of guys with box guns, light machine guns, and crooked hats ran over, and shouted from a long distance: "There is a boat here, hey, lend us the boat first, don't drive the boat yet!" As he spoke, he was about to rush over, and it looked like a bunch of ruffians, and behind these fellows, there was a large group of people approaching this way.

"Stop! Don't go any further, if you dare to get closer, you'll shoot! "Since the regiment is organizing the crossing of the river, of course there is a guard force here at the mouth of the river, and when the soldiers saw that someone wanted to smash the field, the muzzle of the gun was immediately aimed at this gang of ruffians, and the direction of these guys seemed to be towards Gao Quan, if they didn't stop them, these guys might come over and collide with the regiment commander.

"Hehe, Lao Tzu has never been afraid of fighting with the Japanese, and he will be afraid of you hairy children? Come on, there's a kind of land to fight here! "The first one is a bit like a big cigarette, a lean guy patting his chest and a face full of indifference.

Gao Quan reached out and grabbed a Czech-style, "Wow!" "Da Da!" A string of bullets struck the foot of the ruffian who had taken the opportunity to make trouble, knocking a hole in the ground and kicking up a little dust.

"Oh, Mom!"

This kid is not really afraid of death, who wouldn't pretend to be arrogant? But if you really shoot him with a gun, there will be fewer people who are not afraid.

"Xiao Cai, put up a machine gun, who dares to approach our army to cross the river without authorization, in a vain attempt to interfere with our army's military operations, and correct the law on the spot!"

Gao Quan's murderous words, Cai Feng immediately set up two machine guns around on behalf of others, these machine gun shooters all picked up a life from the front line of fighting with devils, and they were already extremely indifferent to life, looking at their eyes, and the posture of holding machine guns, things were slightly wrong, these people really dared to shoot.

The soldiers were scared. The more veteran ruffians are, the more they can distinguish the priorities of things. At a glance, the people of this army looked wrong, obviously not taking the lives of friendly soldiers seriously, and the soldiers and ruffians immediately stood still and did not dare to move forward. The reason why these people became ruffians is that they have seen more life and death on the battlefield, and they have survived by relying on their own experience and slipperyness. didn't die on the battlefield like Xinkou, and of course he didn't want to die here in a daze.

The soldiers and ruffians did not move forward, and the soldiers of the 256th Regiment certainly could not deliberately shoot and kill friendly soldiers. The two sides were at a stalemate, and the two ferries went back and forth on both sides of the Fen River, sending the soldiers of the 256th Regiment across the river without stopping.

Halfway through the troops, Gao Quan got on board. Originally, according to his meaning, he wanted to cross the river on the last boat, but Qian Sixi said something and put him on the boat. "Tuanza, there are so many brothers on the other side of the river, you are the head of the group, you are not in the river, who will take care of the brothers on the other side of the river? Wang Dazhu? He can't! Look at his clumsy and clumsy appearance, you're going to be too late, don't let our troops be absorbed by other troops. This side of the river? Don't worry, with my old money guarding, I will never lose a brother in the end. I still have to watch the machine guns and bullets of the Fifth Independent Brigade, but I can't let them give them less. ”

On the night of November 5, Gao Quan crossed the Fen River.
