Chapter XVIII Intelligence for Weapons

"Who the hell are you? When I entered the city, I saw that those foreign soldiers had armbands with blue sky and white sun on their arms, could it be that you are the national army? Seeing that Tang Lei had been silent, Zhang Lan's stubbornness came up, so she simply made her words clear. Zhang Lan's question is not limited to this, but before asking other questions, Zhang Lan must figure out who this group of people who suddenly broke through the county are sacred, and see that their weapons and equipment section does not look like the national army.

"We?" Tang Lei smiled and put the tea cup that had been in his hand on the table, and said slowly, "Before answering your question, I need to know who you are?" ”

"Didn't I say it when I was outside the city gate, we are the Luoyanshan guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, and I am the instructor Zhang Lan" Zhang Lan looked like she had been scratched by a cat, and replied a little angrily, this annoying guy, he had said it several times outside the city, and he didn't even listen to a word.

"How can you prove that what you said is true, there are a lot of Japanese spies these days, we have caught Japanese spies more than once, and we have also caught Japanese female spies twice" Tang Lei lit a cigarette and held it in his hand, staring at Zhang Lan without blinking through the curling green smoke. In fact, Tang Lei already believed that Zhang Lan and these people were guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army, when Tang Lei was having dinner with Zhang Lan, the guerrilla leader Sun Jinren and his group were also taken to the canteen for dinner.

Tang Lei teased Zhang Lan with words for what reason, even he didn't know, he just subconsciously wanted to do this, maybe he just wanted to see Zhang Lan's angry expression. "Pop" Zhang Lan took out something from her pocket and slapped it on the long table, and moved her palm away, revealing a road slip from the base area of the Eighth Route Army, which had the seal of the government of the base area. "This is the road strip in the base area outside, there is a government seal on it, you should always read it, if you don't believe it, you can take it and see it clearly" Zhang Lan grabbed the road strip with her slender fingers and handed it to Tang Lei.

"Hiss" Tang Lei just stretched out his hand to catch the road, but Zhang Lan suddenly retracted it, these two people were working their side, and the thin road was torn in half, not only Tang Lei, but even Zhang Lan was dumbfounded. Tang Leimu was stunned and returned half of the road strip between his fingers to Zhang Lan, Zhang Lan, who was also stupid, looked at Tang Lei angrily with the road strip that was divided into two halves, except that this man had saved himself, as long as he was with this man, he would suffer a loss, first he was misunderstood as his woman, and then the road strip was also torn in half, Zhang Lan now hates to strangle this nasty guy.

"What do you say? You broke my road, and I can't go back to the base" Zhang Lan's mind turned fast, and put the two halves of the road neatly in front of Tang Lei, and said in her heart that if this man can't give himself a satisfactory answer today, then he won't leave here, anyway, there is good food and drink here to recuperate.

"You can stay here to recuperate" Tang Lei is also a sperm, he tore the road just now and didn't squeak, but he didn't turn his muscles for a while, but the trace of cunning that flashed in Zhang Lan's eyes just now was seen by him, so he followed Zhang Lan's words and went down, he wanted to see what this woman wanted to do. "I really don't know if you are bold and careful or stupid and bold, you dare to stay without even knowing who we are, I really admire your Eighth Route Army" Zhang Lan was also surprised by Tang Lei's good words, but Tang Lei's next words made her dumbfounded, the co-author was mocking her, she didn't hear it.

Tang Lei smiled, Zhang Lan, who had half opened her mouth, looked silly and very funny, "We are people from Thunder Defense, your Eighth Route Army headquarters has our contact information, I used the radio to contact your Eighth Route Army Headquarters to report the matter of the road strip, I don't think they will blame you" Tang Lei pushed the two halves of the road back in front of Zhang Lan, he suddenly felt that he was teasing such an injured woman, as if he was not doing it very authentically.

"Thunder Defense?" Zhang Lan woke up from her dumbfounded state, she had heard of this Thunder Defense when she was studying in Yan'an, and the Zhangwu County she was staying in now, if she counted this time, she would have won it three times in a row. "Didn't you evacuate Shanxi a long time ago? Why is this coming back? When Zhao Zhi evacuated Shanxi for the second time, he called back to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, saying that he was returning to Sichuan with his troops, and then there was no news about Zhao Zhi from the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army.

In fact, the Eighth Route Army is not without news of Zhao Zhi, since Zhao Zhi returned from Europe and landed in Myanmar to deliver supplies to the country, there has been news of Zhao Zhi on the side, but they don't know what Zhao Zhi has done in Europe. Zhang Lan is just a political cadre studying in Yan'an, her rank is too low, and she has no access to information about Zhao Zhi at all, so it is natural to think that Zhao Zhi has severed contact with the Eighth Route Army.

"We are evacuating Shanxi, but here is coming again, this is the third time we have entered Shanxi to fight with the Japanese army, but this time this Zhangwu County will not be handed over to others to garrison, this will become a forward base for our thunder" It has been confirmed that Zhang Lan is a member of the Eighth Route Army, Tang Lei has no scruples when he speaks, and he also told Zhang Lan, who is eager to build a new airport, inside and out.

Zhang Lan is actually a very chatty person, before following her classmates from Beiping to Yan'an, she was a second-year student at Peking University, and her knowledge and exposure to things are incomparable to ordinary women, and unconsciously, Tang Lei actually chatted with Zhang Lan in the headquarters for a whole afternoon. Zhang Lan's impression of Tang Lei is also much better, originally she thought that Tang Lei was a cold and hard guy, but she would find that this man not only knew how to fight, but also knew a lot of things.

Dinner continued to be sent to the headquarters, but it was not the two mothers-in-law who were helping in the kitchen, Zhang Dongkui, who was dressed as a husband, walked in with a big dinner plate. Dongpo elbows, stewed chicken, and braised hare were put in a big bowl and placed on the long table hotly, Zhang Dongkui, who was smiling, squeezed his eyes at Tang Lei, and moved in a large pot of rice, and then slowly walked out of the headquarters. The atmosphere at dinner was much better than at noon, Zhang Lan also picked a few chopsticks and hare meat for Tang Lei, the hot meal coupled with the atmosphere at this time, Tang Lei felt like he was back home.

It wasn't until it got dark that Zhang Lan, who had eaten and drunk enough, was sent by the two mothers-in-law to a room specially prepared for the guerrillas in the backyard to rest. When they entered the barracks, they only tossed around in the backyard and the canteen, and they couldn't go to the other places at all, and the Jewish soldiers with guns on their backs couldn't understand what they were saying. "Okay, let's go back to sleep, let's talk about it tomorrow" Seeing that the time was not early, Zhang Lan blasted out all the guerrillas gathered in his room.

As soon as Zhang Lan left, Zhang Dongkui, who had taken off his costume, touched the command center, and he was followed by a circle of heads, and the mercenaries who were familiar with Tang Lei followed, nominally to discuss the next move, but in fact, they came here to find out what Tang Lei and the woman had been doing in the command all afternoon. "Don't guess, that woman is the instructor of the Luoyan Mountain guerrillas, I just showed her our identity, I think they came for the batch of weapons we seized, otherwise they wouldn't have come so many people" Seeing Zhang Dongkui's strange expression, Tang Lei immediately changed the topic.

"Ball" Zhang Dongkui immediately glared, "Why should we give them the things we seized, the first two times we fought here, how many things did Mr. give them, unless it was an order from Mr. himself, otherwise a bullet Lao Tzu would not give them" Zhang Dongkui left angrily, the last time Zhao Zhi was injured in Ping'an Town and almost died, these old mercenaries who followed Zhao Zhi to attack Zhangwu County twice still remember it vividly. Zhang Dongkui also knew that Zhao Zhi had ordered not to clash with other anti-Japanese forces in Shanxi, but he asked him to give the captured weapons to others, but Zhang Dongkui just couldn't figure it out.

"Dongkui, this is what Mr. means, besides, the most we give them is rifles, those machine guns, grenadiers and mortars are to be left for Adam's First Army, but if they spend money to buy them, then it will be another matter" Tang Lei took out the original telegram sent by Zhao Zhi and handed it over, which clearly stated Zhao Zhi's order, when many forces were seeking spoils, Zhao Zhi asked Tang Lei to give priority to the armament of the Eighth Route Army, and the premise was that the troops who received the gift of weapons must exchange the intelligence around Zhangwu County.

"This method is good" Zhang Dongkui read the telegram, and secretly sighed that his husband's brain was turning fast, Adam's Jewish Legion was only suitable for large-scale dispatches, and it was not all necessary for mercenaries to listen to the news and terrain reconnaissance, but Tang Lei and they only had 150 people, and it was not enough to use one of them as ten people. The guerrillas want weapons, they can, but they must exchange information, and many of the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army who are active in this generation are natives, and they are very familiar with the surrounding terrain, so it is best to listen to the news and reconnoiter the terrain.

The plan to exchange intelligence for weapons, Tang Lei had already told Zhang Lan before dinner, and when Zhang Dongkui asked for details at the headquarters, Zhang Lan in the backyard room was lying on the bed calculating how many weapons and equipment he could get from Tang Lei. With her back to the big tree and the shade, Zhang Lan has the Eighth Route Army behind her, and she doesn't have any kind of information she wants, but the premise is that the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army agrees to the exchange plan that Tang Lei told her today, otherwise she won't get a gun from Tang Lei.
