Chapter 27: Parting Ways

"Are they gone?" Zhao Zhi leaned back in the chair as if he had no bones, and it was Tang Lei who was standing by the window when he was questioned. Looking at his husband's appearance, Tang Lei, who turned his head to look out of the window, smiled a little excitedly, he knew that his husband was deliberately avoiding those Eighth Route Army cadres outside, but the boss of the dignified Thunder Defense made this appearance, which was somewhat unbearable.

To Zhao Zhi's surprise, Zuo Quan and Guan Xiangying under the big tree didn't seem to be affected by Zhao Zhi's departure, and several people were still sitting under the big tree outside the courtyard and didn't know what they were talking about. Zhao Zhi had no choice but to call the old hedgehog over, "Old hedgehog, let's give them some medicines, anyway, we have a lot of medicines this time, we are not bad at this point, we don't have to underestimate our thunder" Looking at Zhao Zhi's embarrassed face, Tang Lei, who had been standing, opened his mouth first, the old hedgehog is the same as his nickname, he is a donkey who eats soft and does not eat hard, so Tang Lei's tone of speech is quite discussable.

"Stay, you are a person who doesn't know you're hungry after just a few full meals, you forgot the last time we withdrew from Shanxi, our brothers were short of medical treatment" Sure enough, the old hedgehog first pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and then suddenly erupted. The old hedgehog is usually an easy-going guy, but this guy is also a miser-like guy, and if you want him to take out the medicines and equipment in his pocket, it is almost impossible, especially now that you still have to take out the medicine and send it to the Eighth Route Army to treat the captured Japanese soldiers, the old hedgehog will never agree to such a death-conscious guy.

"Old hedgehog, do you think our wounded soldiers can move freely now? If we can, let's take them back to Zhangwu County now, then, according to your judgment, how many of the wounded soldiers will make it to Zhangwu County? Zhao Zhi asked two questions in a row to make the old hedgehog dumbfounded, indeed, some of the wounded Jewish soldiers were seriously wounded, and a few of them were operated on by the old hedgehog himself, according to their current condition, it is indeed not suitable to move, let alone travel a long distance to withdraw to Zhangwu County.

"Let's give them the medicine, it's a big deal, let's not deal with them, after lunch, let our people seal this courtyard, and don't let the people of the Eighth Route Army come in" Seeing that the old hedgehog's expression was a little loose, in the end, Zhao Zhi finally slapped the board, and coaxed the old hedgehog to take out the medicine that the Eighth Route Army needed.

"Chief of Staff Zuo, this is the old hedgehog's share squeezed out of the medicine outside, it's not much, but it's enough for you to heal those two Japanese prisoners of war, it's our fault for the shooting, for my sake, it's over, okay?" Zuo Quan and the others sat outside the courtyard and didn't leave, and Zhao Zhi was really embarrassed to cool them there, so he had to take the medicine out of the yard in the end. Zhao Zhi didn't say much, but he had already given the meaning in the words, and the Eighth Route Army had taken these medicines, so don't think about the idea of taking medicines from Zhao Zhi in the future.

Zuo Quan's face was a little gloomy, Guan Xiangying opened his mouth a few times but didn't say anything, but Wang Mancang, who was turning around with his waist crossed, honestly and unceremoniously took the medicine in Tang Lei's hand. The realm of individuals is different, and the level of consideration is also different, Wang Mancang is now full of orders from his superiors asking him to save the lives of those two Japanese prisoners, so the person who saw the thunder was finally willing to take the medicine out, his first reaction was to get the medicine in his hand first, and the people of the thunder in the province turned their faces after a while, and as for other things, they would talk about it later.

Zuo Quan glared at Wang Mancang without leaving a trace, this short-sighted guy is really a brainless reckless man, if he really fell out with Thunder for the sake of medicine, wouldn't those weapons and ammunition that hadn't arrived yet be blind? With this batch of weapons and ammunition, the strength of the base area will be raised to a higher level, and the two seriously wounded Japanese prisoners of war and the hundreds of rifles will be more important than the others, and a discerning person will know at a glance.

Sending Zuo Quan and others away, Zhao Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, almost all of the senior commanders of these *** units have experienced the bloody Red Army era, and they are the elite elements who have been fighting with the Kuomintang for many years.

"Tang Lei, send a team of brothers out to go around at night, we need to change places to station" There was a conflict between the two sides in just one day, and those Jewish soldiers were okay to say, but those mercenaries under Zhao Zhi were all arrogant soldiers, and they had never been defeated with Zhao Zhi, so they naturally had a high spirit. There was a conflict with the Eighth Route Army, and even the good-tempered old hedgehog dared to draw a gun and shoot at him, if this was spread on the heads of the mercenaries, maybe what would happen. The power of the Eighth Route Army in this area is not stable, and there are always Japanese puppet troops to sweep away, and it is not safe to stay in the base area, so after Zhao Zhi thought about it repeatedly, he decided to find another place to station.

Zhao Zhi arranged for the mercenaries to go out at night, not to avoid the attention of the Eighth Route Army, this is the base of the people, and any wind and grass can't escape the eyes of the Eighth Route Army, Zhao Zhi just wants to give the mercenaries a little more time to rest, after all, they are also tired during this time. "Chief of Staff, someone from Thunder's camp has gone up the mountain, our number has passed, there are about 30 people, but it is too dark, and the dark sentry arranged does not see whether Zhao Zhi is also inside" As soon as the mercenary team sent out by Tang Lei went up the mountain, Zuo Quan's side received a report.

As Zhao Zhi thought, the Eighth Route Army did set up a lot of secret posts around Thunder's camp, but Zuo Quan's original intention was not to monitor Thunder, and the only task of those secret posts was to stop the personnel of the Eighth Route Army who were harassing Thunder. What happened in the ambulance station in the morning has already been rumored, and the fact that Wang Mancang got the medicine from Thunder is also well known, the Eighth Route Army only has a regiment of troops stationed in this base area, but there are many anti-Japanese armed forces under the command of the Eighth Route Army around them, and the commanders who lead the team are all old people like Wang Mancang who just want to eat chickens and don't want to get bloody, why is Wang Mancang allowed to do it alone, so there are more guys who secretly fight the idea of thunder.

Zuo Quan knew that his side did a little too much in the morning, and did not give Zhao Zhi a reasonable explanation after getting the medicine, Zhao Zhi is Chinese, but after all, Thunder is different from the domestic anti-Japanese armed forces, the Eighth Route Army has its own policy, and people Thunder also have Thunder regulations, in the face of the problem of resisting the Japanese army, the Eighth Route Army and Thunder should be the same way, Zuo Quan does not want to be strangers to Thunder because of some small things. Thunder is not sending people up the mountain now It is not a small move, Zuo Quan knows that it was the daytime incident that hurt Zhao Zhi's heart, and the people are looking for the camp by themselves.

Zuo Quan is not a talkative person, and Zhao Zhi is the same, but Zuo Quan has a feeling of sympathy for Zhao Zhi, at this moment, Zuo Quan suddenly had the idea of wanting to talk to Zhao Zhi at night, but Zuo Quan had already walked to the door, but his footsteps stopped. Yan'an's attitude towards Zhao Zhi has always been ambiguous, the people who support Zhao Zhi are looking at the great exploits made by the Thunder against the Japanese army, and the people who disdain Zhao Zhi are very concerned about Zhao Zhi's personal relationship with Chiang Kai-shek, if Zhao Zhi is a literati, forget it, but unfortunately Zhao Zhi is now a powerful man with heavy troops, so Yan'an has to be cautious.

Zuo Quan is not a pure martial artist, Yan'an's attitude towards Zhao Zhi and Thunder, Zuo Quan has repeatedly pondered in private, Zhao Zhi can enter the South Bank villa at will and Chiang Kai-shek sit at a table to eat, help the Nationalist Government formulate and participate in the Spark Plan, help the military commander train the team, and also provide some of the weapons and materials that the United States aided to Thunder to the Nationalist Government free of charge. You have to be cautious when dealing with such a person, if you go to Thunder's camp late at night at this time, I'm afraid you won't be able to help Zhao Zhi but will put yourself in.

Zuo Quan stood at the door and hesitated, then dispelled the idea that he wanted to talk to Zhao Zhichang, and the guards waiting outside the door saw that Zuo Quan ignored the report from the sentry, in order to ensure Zuo Quan's rest, the sentry that came back in the middle of the night to report the movement of the Thunder Camp was stopped by Zuo Quan's guards, as long as it was not for the Japanese puppet army to sneak attack the base area, all the things reported to Zuo Quan were shelved, so it didn't matter if it was delayed, even the news that the scouts who went up the mountain returned to the camp in the middle of the night was also shelved.

"Sir, the scouts sent out walked only 30 miles north, and then found a suitable place for us to camp" Tang Lei took out a map of the captured Japanese army and compared the valley that the scouts found on the map to Zhao Zhi. "It's too dark, and the brothers who went out didn't dare to search too much, but Lao Man found a few mountain streams, as long as there is water, we won't worry" Tang Lei didn't want to stay in the territory of the Eighth Route Army in his heart, and it was easy for his husband to loosen his mouth and move out of this place, Tang Lei hated to leave now.

"Inform me, those brothers who asked to sleep in the afternoon will go over and camp now, and the rest of the people will set off for the new camp at dawn tomorrow" Zhao Zhi was not verbose, and gave Tang Lei the answer he wanted. In the afternoon, when Zhao Zhi instructed Tang Lei, those mercenaries who did not have a vigilance task were arranged by Tang Lei to go to sleep and rest, and it was only past zero hour, which was when they came in handy. Thunder sent mercenaries up the mountain again, and was also seen clearly by the sentries of the Eighth Route Army lurking in the shadows, but the sentries they rushed to report to Zuo Quan were stopped by Zuo Quan's guards, and when Zuo Quan learned about it after dawn, Zhao Zhi's people had already packed their things and were ready to go to the new camp.
