"Here, here, here!" Chief of Staff Zhou held a pencil and gestured on the map, and there were words in his mouth. Zheng Weiguo pasted the red flag representing the 63rd Army on the side. Around the flag were several murderous blue arrows, which represented the encirclement and interception of the Japanese army.

"How's it going, is there any danger?" Political Commissar Cheng asked nervously on the side.

Chief of Staff Zhou shook his head and said with a smile: "Judging from our round of deduction, the problem should not be big. However, there are delays and omissions in our information, so this conclusion can only be used as a reference. ”

Since the 63rd Army's northern expedition, Zheng Weiguo and his team have always paid attention to the movements of this army, and every time they receive new information, they will deduce it on the map in time, for fear of any mistakes. Just like in a football game, the one who watches the ball is more nervous than the one who plays it.

Political Commissar Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Hehe, this makes the emperor not anxious and the eunuch anxious." Alas, I finally understand what this means now, and I just can't do it when I look at it! Zheng Weiguo and Chief of Staff Zhou couldn't help but laugh when they heard this.

While he was laughing, a confidential officer from the telecommunications office suddenly sent an encrypted telegram. Zheng Weiguo reached out to take it and asked, "Where did you send it?" ”

The confidential officer replied: "Report to the commander, it was sent by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army." He handed Zheng Weiguo another pen and reminded: "Commander, according to the latest confidentiality regulations, you must sign first. ”

It turned out that Zheng Weiguo felt that the national army was like a sieve secrecy system, and specially asked Political Commissar Cheng and Dean Xiong to draw on the strengths of all families to formulate a new secrecy system. This system is very tight, and the signature is just one of the measures.

Zheng Weiguo finished signing, opened the telegram draft, and read it. A look of surprise gradually appeared on his face. After reading it, it didn't seem to be enjoyable, so I watched it again from beginning to end.

Political Commissar Cheng smiled: "I didn't read it to know that the road is good news." Commander, is that the German batch of munitions almost there? ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "No, do you remember the ICCD I mentioned to you before?" When they learned about the situation in the base, they decided to help us build a few factories. At present, the equipment has been transported to Wuhan, but due to the impact of the war, it may take some time before it can be transported to the base area. ”

The ICCD was established by patriotic intellectuals and overseas sympathetic and supportive international friends during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, with the aim of organizing unemployed workers and refugees to produce and save themselves, and to provide China with military and civilian materials to support China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

This organization has trained a large number of skilled workers in the rear areas and behind enemy lines, and has established many military and civilian factories. At the same time, a large amount of funds and materials have been raised internationally. He made great contributions to the cause of China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. His idea of resolving conflicts through cooperation is also very constructive, and it has almost become a consensus in today's society.

Chief of Staff Zhou curiously took the telegram and read it, and found that the telegram also said that some Americans were going to visit the Jizhong base area, and asked suspiciously: "Why are there still Americans?" Could it be that this organization has an American background? ”

Zheng Weiguo shook his head and said, "There shouldn't be." The American may have gathered intelligence for Roosevelt. After all, how the war develops. The interests of the United States are at stake. They sent people to take a look, which is also the proper meaning of the question. ”

Chief of Staff Zhou snorted, and then had a whim. He said: "Commander-in-chief, can we take this opportunity to catch up with the Americans?" If the Americans can help, then we don't have to worry about supplies, haluha! ”

Political Commissar Cheng was also a little moved, and said excitedly: "Yes, the chief of staff has a point!" Even if the Americans are not willing to provide free assistance, as long as they can do business with us! ”

Because of the Chinese Exclusion Act, China's relations with the United States at that time were average, and they were far less close to Britain, France, Germany, and even Japan. However, the strength of the United States is obvious to all, so the Chinese intellectuals at that time very much hoped to get assistance from the United States, believing that as soon as the Yankees made a move, the little devils would immediately admit it. This realization even affected Yan'an's judgment of the current situation.

Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "Okay, then it's up to the two of you to catch big fish." In fact, he didn't feel much hope, but he didn't want to spoil everyone's interest. Because at this time the Americans were pursuing a policy of "glorious isolationism", and they did not even care about the life or death of their British cousins, let alone the Chinese who could not be beaten with eight poles?

After joking for a while, Political Commissar Cheng wanted to inspect the ideological and political work of the troops, while Chief of Staff Zhou went to the General Staff Headquarters to examine the defense development plan of the base areas, and then they dispersed.

Now that there are special personnel in charge of the four major tasks of the military, politics, rear, and equipment, Zheng Weiguo is rarely idle, so he lies on the bamboo chair and squints for a while. It's not that he's lazy, it's summer, and he's sweating profusely when he sits still, but he's still lying down comfortably.

"Commander!" A crisp voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Zheng Weiguo opened his eyes and saw that it was Zhang Zhilan, holding an enamel jar in his hand. She now works as a clerk in the military department, where she is responsible for general copywriting. Sometimes I come to take care of Zheng Weiguo's personal life, but Zheng Weiguo has nothing for her to take care of. Eating is a big pot of rice, laundry has logistics unified processing, warm the bed, uh, the organization is not allowed. Zheng Weiguo also didn't want the organization and his subordinates to feel that they were engaging in specialization.

"It's hot, I, I'll make you a bowl of sour plum soup." Zhang Zhilan handed over the enamel jar with both hands, her face flushed, probably because she was in a hurry, and there were still a few drops of sweat on her forehead.

Zheng Weiguo hurriedly reached out to pick it up, but accidentally grabbed the back of Zhilan's hand, and the tentacles were slippery. Zhilan screamed in fright, hurriedly withdrew her hand, and almost threw the jar to the ground. Fortunately, Zheng Huzi was in a hurry, caught it, and only spilled a little.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Zhilan patted her chest and said timidly, looking a little depressed.

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Hehe, I didn't pick it up." You've helped me so much, and I haven't thanked you yet! ”

Zhilan snorted, her eyes flashing, and she didn't speak.

Zheng Weiguo had no choice but to drink the soup with his head down and taste it first. To be honest, the taste is very ordinary, and it is estimated that Zhilan rarely cooked at home before. At that time, large families were particular about raising their daughters. Ten fingers do not touch the spring water. Well, it seems to be pretty much the same now.

"Commander, is it good?" Zhang Zhilan asked a little nervously and expectantly.

Zheng Weiguo smiled and said, "Well, it tastes very good!" How often did you do it when you used to be at home? ”

Zhilan lowered her head shyly, shook her head and said, "No, this is my first time cooking soup." ”

Zheng Weiguo praised: "Well, that means you are very talented in cooking!" ”

Zhilan was very happy when she heard this, and said innocently: "That, or not." I'll cook it for you every day in the future? ”

Zheng Weiguo was taken aback. Hurriedly said: "Don't! Seeing Zhilan looking at herself, she hurriedly explained: "Well, I mean that the soldiers haven't drunk it, how can I, the commander-in-chief, enjoy it alone!" ”

Zhilan sighed. "Commander." You're good at everything. I just don't know how to think about myself. As soon as the words fell, she suddenly realized that these words were a little abrupt, and her face turned red. Hurriedly twisted to the side.

At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside the hospital, as if a lot of people were coming. There seemed to be female soldiers on Twitter. Zhang Zhilan looked a little cramped and uneasy, and hurriedly urged in a low voice: "Commander, drink quickly, I'm going back." ”

Zheng Weiguo looked at it and found that there was still more than half of the tank, and said with a bitter face: "Ah, so much, how can I drink it in one go?" ”

Zhang Zhilan couldn't help but laugh when she saw Zheng Weiguo's embarrassed appearance. At this time, the voice of the guard was heard at the gate of the courtyard, and it was obvious that someone was about to come in. Zhilan didn't seem to want to be seen, so she hurriedly said, "Commander, why don't I come back tomorrow to get the porcelain jar?" As he spoke, he hurried to the gate of the courtyard.

Zheng Weiguo shouted from behind: "Hey, you wait a minute, I'll just let the pillar come out with a big bowl." ”

Zhang Zhilan waved her hand, and she was already gone.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a large group of soldiers walked in carrying boxes. The leader was two female soldiers, one of whom was an old acquaintance, Chen Wanchun, the captain of the Field Service Team. The other is her guard, Momo.

"Hey, Zhilan, you're here too!" Chen Wanchun said hello with some surprise.

It was too late for Zhilan to dodge, her face flushed slightly, and she called "Sister Wanchun" and hurriedly ran away.

"Hmph, vixen, stinky and shameless!" Xiao Tao looked at her back and scolded angrily.

Wanchun raised her eyebrows and said angrily: "Xiao Tao, Zhilan hasn't offended you, why are you scolding?" After going back, I found Deputy Captain Li to lead the army. ”

"Ahh Xiao Tao hurriedly said pitifully: "Sister Wanchun, you can spare me this time!" As he spoke, he grabbed Chen Wanchun's arm and shook it vigorously.

Wanchun's heart softened, and she advised: "Hmph, if you do it again next time, you will be locked up for two days!" ”

Xiao Tao jumped up happily, and said with a smile: "I just know that Sister Wanchun feels sorry for me!" He pulled Chen Wanchun aside and muttered, "Sister Wanchun, let me tell you, that Zhang Zhilan ran to the commander-in-chief every day just now, obviously trying to seduce the commander-in-chief." You have to be careful! ”

Wanchun was stunned for a moment and said, "Zhilan works in the military department, isn't it normal for her to come to the commander-in-chief?" Besides, even if she likes the Commander-in-Chief, what will she do to me? ”

Xiao Tao squeezed her eyebrows and chuckled: "Sister Wanchun, hehe, don't hide it from me, you like the commander-in-chief." ”

Wan Chunqiao's face flushed, and she scolded: "Nonsense! ”

Xiao Tao said unconvinced: "I didn't talk nonsense!" Last time you talked in your sleep at night......"

Wanchun snorted and said angrily: "Two days of confinement!" ”

"Ah, Sister Wanchun!" Xiao Tao made a long drag, causing the male soldiers to look over here.

"Three days!" Wanchun didn't relented this time, and made Xiao Tao's usual trick fail.

Xiao Tao sniffed and said unhappily: "Hmph, two days is two days, what's the big deal!" Then he scolded the male soldiers: "What do you see? Look again, gouge out your eyes. After speaking, he walked in after Chen Wanchun.

"Commander-in-Chief!" Chen Wanchun saluted Zheng Weiguo, remembering what Xiao Tao had just said, her face suddenly became like fire, and she glanced at Xiao Tao fiercely, so frightened that she stuck out her tongue.

Zheng Weiguo was counting boxes in the yard, and said strangely: "Wanchun, why are you carrying so many boxes?" ”

Xiao Tao couldn't help but interject: "Report to the commander-in-chief, these are all captured by our female soldiers." The captain said, I have to let you see! ”

Wanchun saw her interjecting indiscriminately, and glared at her angrily.

Zheng Weiguo didn't care, and said with a smile: "Oh? So many seizures, what are they? Pillars, open them up and take a look! ”

The pillar hurriedly brought a few soldiers over, and as soon as he opened the first box, everyone gasped. It turned out that these chests were either gold or silver, and when the sun shone on them, they were so brilliant that people couldn't open their eyes.

One of the warriors couldn't help but exclaim, "My God, how much is this worth, no wonder it's so heavy when it is lifted!" ”

Xiao Tao hid behind Wanchun and snorted proudly, her little face raised high, as if to say: How is it, our female soldiers are amazing, right?

At this time, Political Commissar Cheng happened to come in from outside, and when he saw so many boxes in the courtyard, he exclaimed, "Oh my God! Where did this come from? ”

Zheng Weiguo smiled: "Surprised, right? Lao Cheng. This is Wanchun's seizure! Wanchun, you report to Deputy Commander Cheng, otherwise he, a money fan, will definitely not be able to sleep tonight. (To be continued......)
