Three days ago, Liu Chang, in the name of the Longkou Anti-Japanese Democratic Government, issued a document asking the squires and tyrants to provide some farm tools and cattle to help the poor farmers in their townships and towns complete spring ploughing.

Liu Chang convened a meeting of the chairmen and women's directors of the township peasant associations this time to solve this problem.

In the middle of the meeting, Liu Changzheng was talking about it, and Liu Dagu slammed open the door and broke in.

Hearing that Xu Shijiu was looking for him, Liu Chang could only interrupt the meeting, and after simply assigning tasks to the chairmen and women directors of the township peasant associations, he left the compound where the county government was located and went straight to the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the headquarters, Liu Chang saw Hu Renjie hurrying from the other side of the gate.

"County Magistrate Liu?"

"County Magistrate Hu?"

Seeing each other, Liu Chang and Hu Renjie were a little surprised, but the two big county magistrates were smart people, and they soon realized that Xu Shijiu was probably looking for the two of them, and the two walked outside the gate almost at the same time, and then stopped their feet at the same time, and then shook each other's hands at the same time, and said in unison: "Liu (Hu) County Magistrate, please."

The two of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

Seeing this scene, those who don't know will definitely think that the two are the closest friends.

The two excused themselves, but Zuihou walked into the door at the same time, and entered Xu Shijiu's office at the same time.

Seeing Liu Chang and Hu Renjie walking in, talking and laughing, Xu Shijiu couldn't help but be a little surprised, thinking that these two really deserve to be county magistrates, and secretly I am afraid that they already hate each other to the core, but on the surface, they can still be so intimate, in this regard, Xu Shijiu really has to bow down to himself, if he Xu Shijiu hates someone, he will definitely not be able to smile at each other.

"Two big county magistrates, please be seated." Xu Shijiu got up and solemnized.

After Liu Chang and Hu Renjie sat down, Xu Shijiu said: "Originally, I was worried that the two of you might not be able to get along, but now it seems that my worries are a little redundant, hehe, but, since this is the case, things will be easy to do, yes, I now need a batch of military supplies, a total of 2,000 sets of cotton military uniforms, 2,000 pairs of cloth shoes, 500 quilts, plus 60,000 catties of food, two people are responsible for half, and the five days are complete, how about it?" ”

Liu Chang calculated in his heart and responded: "No problem, 1,000 sets of cotton military uniforms, 1,000 pairs of cloth shoes, 250 quilts and 30,000 catties of food, and the purchase will be complete within five days, but the money for these materials ......."

"This, of course, is provided by the Quartermaster Department." Xu Nineteen said.

After finishing speaking, Xu Shijiu asked Hu Renjie again: "County Magistrate Hu, what about you?" ”

Hu Renjie smiled, stood up and said: "Commander Xu, 1,000 sets of cotton military uniforms, 1,000 pairs of cloth shoes, 250 quilts plus 30,000 catties of food, I personally add 500 catties of bacon, and I will purchase it within three days

"That's great." Xu Shijiu squinted, and deliberately glanced back at Liu Chang.

Liu Chang gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "Commander Xu, I will also mobilize donations from various townships and towns to give this money out." ”

"Yes, thank you so much to County Magistrate Liu." Xu Shijiu smiled on his face, thinking that these two big county magistrates were riveting, but this was a good thing for him and the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, without a big son, he could raise 2,000 sets of cotton uniforms, 2,000 pairs of cloth shoes and 500 quilts, if it weren't for the two of them, where would they find such a good thing?

(Dividing Line)

On the mountain road at the junction of Yixian County and Longkou County, a team of Sichuan troops came over.

It was the cold time of spring, but these Sichuan soldiers were all wearing straw sandals and wrapped in single clothes, and what was particularly sad was that the single clothes on the soldiers were also torn and dirty, and they were all dirty, and they were simply beggars.

As he walked, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child soldier sat down on the road with his legs limp.

The leading company commander turned back, glared at him and asked, "Gua Wazi, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Company commander, I can't walk." The baby soldier rubbed his stomach and said with a bitter face, "I haven't had anything to eat for two days, so I really don't have the strength." ”

As soon as the child soldiers complained, the rest of the officers and soldiers also complained one after another, this one said the company commander, when will our rations be delivered, and the other said, what kind of clam can our military uniform be solved? After talking and talking, the company commander became angry and said, "What are you yelling, what are you yelling about?" If you are hungry, am you not hungry? Lao Tzu didn't have to eat an extra grain of rice than you, and Lao Tzu was just as hungry as his chest and back? ”

The baby soldier said: "Company commander, didn't Commander-in-Chief Gu say that he would give us a batch of rations?" ”

"You melon baby knows a fart." The company commander didn't have a good breath, "Are people's rations so easy to get?" Commander-in-Chief Gu said, when we solve the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Longkou County, we will solve 100 catties of rations and meat for each of our Xinpei, so you can insist on Lao Tzu, and after fighting the Southern Anhui Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army on dog days, you will have food. ”

A veteran shouted: "Company commander, I heard that the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui is not easy to mess with." ”

The company commander was unhappy: "The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in Southern Anhui is not easy to mess with, is it easy for our Sichuan Army to be provoked?" ”

The child soldier said: "But company commander, I really don't have the strength, I really can't walk." ”

The company commander had no choice but to call a big Sichuan soldier to him and tell him: "Gu Niu, you pick up the little baby and leave." ”

The big Sichuan army sighed, squatted down honestly, and carried the baby soldier on his back.

Not long after walking forward, a veteran of the Sichuan army turned back from the front and shouted: "Company commander, there is a situation"

"Hide, hide." As soon as he heard that there was a situation ahead, the company commander of the Sichuan army hurriedly ordered all the officers and men of the company to hide on the spot.

When the veteran of the Sichuan Army who turned back from the front ran to him, the company commander of the Sichuan Army asked, "Sao Jigong, what's the situation ahead?" ”

The veteran of the Sichuan Army, nicknamed Saoji Gong, gasped twice and said: "Company commander, there are a lot of national troops in front, it seems that they should be the people of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui, but there is a situation that is very strange." ”

"What's going on? Say it. "The commander of the Sichuan army company is on fire.

Sao Jigong continued: "They didn't bring weapons, but they brought a lot of supplies. ”

"You didn't bring weapons, but you brought a lot of supplies?" The company commander of the Sichuan army was also stunned when he heard this.

Sao Jigong asked: "Company commander, do you think this will be the transport team of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui?" ”

"You're a melon baby, and you have eggs on your head?" The company commander of the Sichuan army slapped the sao chicken on the head and scolded, "When did you see a transport team without weapons?" Also, it is really the transport team of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army in southern Anhui, did they rush to transport the supplies all the way here? Could it be that they came running here just to deliver us supplies? ”

"Yes." Sao Jigong suddenly realized, "Company commander, they must have sent us supplies."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." The company commander of the Sichuan Army said angrily, "We fought the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui in the past, and now we are enemies with them, have you ever seen anyone who sent supplies to the enemy?" Go, you immediately go and report to the regiment, just say that we have encountered the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui in Xiaofang Mountain at the junction of Yixian and Longkou, and let him quickly bring the main force over for reinforcements. ”

(Dividing Line)

About ten miles away from the Elite Company, a large Sichuan army was slowly marching along the mountain road.

This Sichuan army is the main force of Xinpei, the new L regiment, and the regiment commander Tian Guzi is the younger brother of Xinpei Changtian Zhongyi.

Seeing the division commander Tian Zhongyi riding a horse to catch up from behind, Tian Guzi hurriedly took the adjutant to greet him and said, "Master, are you here to ask?" ”

Tian Zhongyi turned over and dismounted, frowned and asked Tian Guzi: "Guzi, it's almost noon, why did your regiment advance less than ten miles?" This is too slow, at this speed, when will it be able to enter the dragon's mouth?

"Master, I'm angry when I talk about this." Tian Guzi said, "Gu Zhutong is too much of a thing, there is a way that the emperor is not a hungry soldier, he wants us to fight the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, but he refuses to give us food, so he drew a cake in front of Tang Erwen, is it too much?" The brothers had not eaten properly for several days, and they had no strength to ask. ”
