Episode 81 Lonely Brigade (21) Gold bars for weapons
Although the location of Zhang Wenzhi's 'base camp' is also in the territory of country Y, this area is full of mountains and mountains, and even if there are roads connecting east and west, there is no farmland for farmers to cultivate, so it is good to see one or two hunters occasionally.
The only way to deal with the people who come to hunt in the mountains is to pretend to be soldiers of country Y training in the mountains, and the deputy platoon commander will always tell them in the tone of an officer of country Y, "This is a military place, and it is inconvenient for people to visit," and the hunting people will no longer come.
With the set goal of action, the first thing to do is naturally explosives and other objects, and the location of the communication terminal is located in 'Aoshan', which belongs to the highest mountain on the border of country Y, and if you want to blow it up, you can't do it without a large amount of explosives.
The arsenal in the border area has always been heavily guarded, and the deputy platoon commander went to inquire about the news several times, but got only one result: "It is impossible to get some explosives from there, unless you sacrifice yourself to blow up the arsenal, then the explosives will be gone, and it is not impossible to get them." β
"Our hometown has recently been in Kaishan, and I heard that some people use explosives to blow up stones, do we have to think of a way from this direction," Qi Ge's mention is to turn to civilian use, often in the border area to build strategic facilities, all of which have to use a large amount of stone, and the explosives of Kaishan should be easy to get.
"No, no, even if you can get it, but if you transport it to the 'Aoshan' mountain, how much do you have to get, if you get less, I'm afraid it's not enough, how can you transport it up if you get more, it's better to get TNT, that thing is powerful and easy to carry," the deputy platoon commander is now in opposition to Brother Qi, he does not advocate engaging in civilian black explosives for blasting.
"This won't work, that won't work, then just use the radio to tell them forget it, and say that we can't complete this task." Just give us another one," Seventh Brother said impatiently.
"Aren't we discussing the problem, if the obvious work is so easy to do, why do you still need to do it, I have an idea, should we go and get some Soviet-style individual rockets and bazookas, this thing is very easy to use, and it is also powerful, it should be feasible to use them to destroy the enemy's communication equipment." Guo Kaiqing has seen the power of the enemy's field artillery with his own eyes, and the one that is one size smaller than this huge field artillery is naturally a 'single soldier' rocket and a bazooka.
"I think it's a good idea, we still have a few gold bars, I recently met a quartermaster of country Y, do you want to get some from him?" The deputy platoon commander's investigation over the past few days has not been in vain, and with a large number of colorful and green Y country banknotes, he has already made friends with several officers of Y country, and this regular army quartermaster can be regarded as his fellow countryman. When he was in secondary school in country Y, they were alumni, but they didn't value country Y banknotes, they valued hard currency 'gold bars'.
"Can he get a single rocket?" Zhang Wenzhi was very interested in Soviet-style individual rockets. Originally, there were a few 'Zhang Wenzhilian', but later the rockets of this thing were not very easy to handle, so they gave up and didn't use them, and now these guys are all in Sun Wang's hands.
"That can't be done. Everyone has said that this thing is determined by people, and each unit is distributed to individuals. However, the bazooka is some, but it is more expensive, almost a gold bar and two rockets, "The price of weapons is not set by this quartermaster, between the regular army and the miscellaneous army of country Y, it is this price, he sells things, he can only get a small part of the money, and the big head has to be handed over to their commander, and all the equipment sold is some excess equipment."
"That's too expensive, if it's in China, there are," Seventh Brother stood up angrily, this bazooka will cost a gold bar, if you buy a few more, the iron box of gold bars you got before, won't you give them all of them.
"Isn't it in a hurry to use it now, I see that this business is done, but if you negotiate the price with him again, even if it is one, you can't talk about it, just let him add two more bullets," Guo Kaiqing believes that the weapon in his hand is far safer than using explosives.
"Then let's do it, you take a few gold bars first, we are born once, twice cooked, a small number of times, see what his attitude is, so that the risk is smaller, second, tomorrow you go with the deputy platoon commander, I can rest assured that you go," Zhang Wenzhi also saw that the relationship between the seventh brother and the deputy platoon commander was not as good as before, let the seventh brother follow, for fear that something would go wrong.
"That's okay, let's have a small number of times," Guo Kaiqing then took four gold bars from the hands of the soldiers with gold bars, and waited for tomorrow to set off together.
The quartermaster of country Y is also a young man of Chinese descent, but his elders all work in the army of Y and belong to a family of generations of soldiers, and he saw the deputy platoon commander come to him with a person who looks like an officer, so he happily shook hands with Guo Kaiqing.
The deputy platoon commander hurriedly introduced, "This is our battalion commander that I often talk about with you, we want to strengthen the troops this time, didn't you say that there were bazookas last time, we also brought goods, you can take a look." β
opened the handkerchief, four gold bars marked with foreign characters, and put them in the hands of the quartermaster of country Y, and the quartermaster immediately came out with a smile, only to see him put the four gold bars in his hand, "It's a little less, and it's only enough to arrange two shifts, but it's the first time we're doing business, you guys wait here." β
Seeing that the quartermaster got up to leave, the deputy platoon commander pulled him, "Can you add two more rockets to us, this two are too few, not enough for soldiers to train." β
The quartermaster of country Y looked at him, "That's it, one more bullet for you, don't bargain with me, a few days ago I bought a new batch of Soviet-style grenades, I'll get you a box out." β
The deputy platoon commander didn't dare to agree, he kept looking at Guo Kaiqing, Guo Kaiqing nodded at him, stepped forward and took out a stack of Y country coins, and put them in the hands of the quartermaster of Y country, "This is what has been issued recently, brother, you can help a lot." β
Originally, the deputy platoon commander was not going to let Guo Kaiqing speak about today's transaction, but when he heard what Guo Kaiqing said just now, he was also very puzzled, in order to prevent Guo Kaiqing from talking away, he hurriedly said, "Our battalion commander has said, you can help, the equipment of our troops is too poor." β
Although these Y currencies are worthless, they are better than nothing, and the Y Quartermaster drove away in his own car.
"Second brother, it's okay, how did you practice these words just now, why don't you have a domestic accent?" The deputy platoon commander was still very puzzled by the standard Y Mandarin spoken by Guo Kaiqing.
"Let's be honest with you, it's all taught by the eldest brother."
"Big brother taught? What he said himself is not quite accurate, "The deputy platoon commander doesn't understand it even more." Zhang Wenzhi's spoken language is even more like the words of the capital, and when he hears it, something goes wrong, how can he teach Guo Kaiqing well.
"Hehe, you don't understand this, although the eldest brother said it badly, he will listen, I just follow what I said and let him correct it," It turns out that for many days, it is boring to stay in the 'base camp'. Zhang Wenzhi and Guo Kaiqing studied Y Mandarin together, and in a few days, their level has improved by leaps and bounds.
After almost an hour, Guo Kaiqing really couldn't sit still in the jeep, "Could it be that this kid cheated the gold bars and didn't give us the goods?" β
"No," the deputy platoon commander is from a merchant family, and his family has always done this. It's all about the letter first, and in today's matter, he still thinks that the quartermaster of country Y can't lie to himself.
After a few more hours of waiting, it was about to get dark. Guo Kaiqing was much more relaxed, he smoked more than a box of cigarette butts, this time he simply stopped smoking, he opened the lid of the kettle. Take a big gulp of cold water.
The deputy platoon commander said depressedly, "It seems that this kid has really been bluffed, and he will have to pay it back sooner or later." If I had seen him the next time, I'd have killed him. β
"I'm not in a hurry, why are you in a hurry, don't you say it, once you are born, and you are twice ripe, if you can see the nature of this kid clearly, these four gold bars are not in vain," Guo Kaiqing thought that the quartermaster of country Y did not bring troops to arrest them, which proved that he did not suspect their miscellaneous military identity, and business was still done.
As Guo Kaiqing said, until eight o'clock in the evening, I saw a military truck driving in the distance, and it was the quartermaster of Country Y sitting on the car.
"It's not convenient to transport goods out at dawn, but it's dark, and everything you want is in the car," opened the truck's large compartment, and the boxes containing weapons were all exposed.
"Okay, talk about righteousness!" Guo Kaiqing only gestured with his hands a few times this time, and he hadn't learned all the other Y dialects, so it was inconvenient to say them.
The quartermaster of Country Y smiled at Guo Kaiqing, and the two shook hands again.
Four bazookas, twelve rockets, and a box of grenades were piled up on the military jeep, Guo Kaiqing squeezed the wooden boxes into a small corner, and then ordered the deputy platoon commander to drive.
In the dark night, the two of them couldn't take care of the fast driving, and the deputy platoon commander didn't forget to chat with Guo Kaiqing while walking, but the wind had already blown away the words of the deputy platoon commander, no matter what he said, Guo Kaiqing just nodded in accord, in fact, he couldn't hear what the deputy platoon commander was saying at all, just a polite response.
After returning to the 'base camp', Brother Qi was much happier this time, looking at the Soviet-style grenade that was distributed to everyone, he praised the deputy platoon commander for the first time, "It's still you kid, it works if you can speak bird words, better than me, much better than me." β
When the deputy platoon commander heard this, he also became modest, "It's all the second brother who acted well, if he wasn't there, he wouldn't have been so smooth, I waited for hours in a row, I thought I had deceived that dog." β
Zhang Wenzhi picked up the bazooka and tried its 'firing pin', "These are not brand new, they are all used." β
"Ah, if that's the case, I'll kill this B tomorrow," Zhang Wenzhi belongs to half of the arms expert, and his opinion, the deputy platoon commander is undoubtedly convinced.
"But it's still available, if we trade again, you just pretend not to know, this time you still bring four gold bars, this time we don't need him to add more ammunition and grenades, ask him if he can get some TNT for us, it's best to order the fuse and black gold," Zhang Wenzhi has his thoughts, the person who sells the goods naturally knows the new and old Cheng dΓΉ of this thing, and he will not pursue it, which can't make the quartermaster of country Y suspicious, let him add something else, and he can also help.
"What if he doesn't give us TNT?"
"It's okay to give something else, remember, you can't force it."
"I'm tired."
"I'll go with you tomorrow, let the second brother rest for a day," the seventh brother volunteered.
"Can he do it," the deputy platoon commander still has doubts about Brother Qi, he is not like Guo Kaiqing, Brother Qi's behavior is too rude, if he starts a fire, it will definitely cause a big deal.
"If Lao Qi wants to go, let him go, but tomorrow you have to be under the command of the deputy platoon commander, and you are not allowed to be strong," in order to ease the relationship between the two, Guo Kaiqing thought that this was a good opportunity.
"It's okay for Brother Qi to go, but you have to change your clothes, you go and change into a soldier's clothes, be my driver, and I'll take you there," the deputy platoon commander saw that Guo Kaiqing said this, and he couldn't refuse, so he put forward his request.
"Okay, it's all up to you, do you think I love to wear this officer skin of country Y, it's better to be a soldier, and it's good to fight with the soldiers," there are several sets of topless clothes for the soldiers of country Y, and Brother Qi quickly found a suitable set and put it on.
