Chapter 758: The Day of Marriage Is Approaching
July 20, 1939, 8 a.m.
Guantao County.
At this moment, Guantao County is particularly lively, and the people in the city are even more colorful, and the faces of the people are filled with happy joy.
The eighteen-bay alley in the east of the city is the old street of Guantao County, and it is also a residential area, although the houses in the residential area here are not a rich and noble family, but the people in the alley live very comfortably.
All this is thanks to the fact that the Longtou Detachment drove away the Japanese army and provided them with peace, and now in the entire city, as long as the Longtou Detachment is mentioned, it is everyone who gives a thumbs up and says that the Lord Qingtian, the people's army.
No. 26, Shibawan Hutong, is a courtyard house with a single entrance, the main family surname is Wang, named Wang Gui, 62 years old this year, and his wife died early. There were 4 sons under his knees, but when the devils entered North China, they were plagued one after another, none of them survived, and all of them were slaughtered to death by the Japanese army.
Now there is a little granddaughter who is about sixteen years old, and she depends on each other.
At this moment, the little granddaughter was hanging a red lantern at the door, while the old man Wang Gui was standing on the side, smoking a dry cigarette.
"Grandpa, what do you think of the lantern I hung? Is it crooked? ”
The little granddaughter's words of invitation to merit.
"Huh!"
Wang Gui took two puffs of cigarette and said with a smile: "Very good, very good, when the 24th commander gets married, let's light up all these red lanterns and celebrate the commander's good life." ”
After a pause, he said, "Girl, have you prepared the wedding gift I asked you to prepare?" ”
Hearing this, the little granddaughter Xiumei tightened slightly, and complained: "Grandpa, aren't you still worried about my errands?" But the commander won't ask for our congratulatory gifts, this is a rule in the army, even if you send it over, the commander will definitely not ask for it. ”
"Hmph, little girl, what do you know?"
The old man Wang Gui muttered angrily, and then he was patient, and said: "We are not a bribe, it is a wedding gift, and his commander can't help but accept it, and then if there is no commander to lead the team to drive away the little devil, where can we survive?" Now that the commander is married, if I don't do something, how can I be at ease? ”
The little granddaughter saw that her grandfather was really angry, and she pouted at the moment, "Okay, okay, I listen to you, what grandpa said is the most reasonable." ”
At this moment, situations similar to those of the old man Wang Gui abound.
The people of the entire Guantao County, and even the people of the surrounding counties of Guantao County, are very excited, not to mention that every household hangs up red lanterns, and they are also carefully preparing wedding gifts.
Although Ouyang has repeatedly stated that he will never accept gifts, and it is enough to have everyone's heart, but what Ouyang says, the big guy does not listen, in the words of the common people: We also know about Entu.

In the south of the county seat of Guantao County, Jiuqu Hutong.
"You little rabbit cub, I asked you to prepare two big black pigs for the team, why did you prepare white pigs? Don't you know that black pork tastes better? Usually you kid is so-so, but on the commander's happy day, you still give me the whole leak, you want to anger me! ”

In the north of Guantao County, Fenghua Old Street.
One by one, the vendors opened their doors to do business, selling their wares.
And the quality of the goods is very good, but the prices are very cheap, which can't help but pass through the county to rest the merchants, feel very surprised.
"Shop, your clothes, this workmanship, this material, are all the best products, but you sell them too cheaply, to put it mildly, you are not afraid of losing money!" A merchant couldn't help but ask.
"Huh!"
The shopkeeper smiled: "At first glance, you are a foreigner, let me tell you, this whole street, not only is my family's things sold cheaply, you will know if you inquire, which household is not selling goods at a reduced price now?" Our family is only sold at cost price, but if you look at the first few merchants, they are all selling at a loss! ”
Hearing this, the merchant became more and more puzzled.
Selling at a loss?
Isn't this a full meal!
"Stranger, let me tell you, in a few days it will be the day of our commander's wedding, there are rules in the team, you can't take a stitch from the people, we wanted to send a congratulatory gift, but the commander refused, and finally our big guy summed up, since the commander does not accept gifts, then we are united to sell goods at a lower price, pray for the commander, pray for our leading detachment."
The shopkeeper said proudly, and there was no reluctance in his expression, but he was full of pride.
Suddenly, the merchant was shocked!
"Uncle, are you talking about the commander of the leading detachment, General Ouyang?"
"That's right, it's our commander."
"No wonder, General Ouyang is overjoyed, this thing is well done, shopkeeper, you have also sold a few clothes I picked up just now, I will pay double, even if I congratulate the commander!"
"Don't don't, one yard is one yard, you have a heart and you have a heart, if others know that I hacked this money, maybe I will be poked in the backbone by others!"
Similar to this kind of situation, these days in Fenghua Old Street, it is constantly staged.
Ouyang's wedding, the people were happy in their hearts.
Even some ordinary people shouted angrily: "If my family also has a daughter, I will also let her marry the commander!" ”

The first battalion of the leading detachment, Yang Liqing's department.
At this moment, Yang Liqing was in his room, changing into a brand-new tunic suit, constantly looking at the palm-sized mirror, back and forth.
"Battalion commander, is the sun coming out of the west today? How can I put on new clothes today, I usually let you wear them, you are very precious! ”
The guard Xiao Li quipped on the side.
"Go, go!"
Yang Liqing scolded with a smile: "Our commander is about to get married, so I can't wear it beautifully." Uh, by the way, not only me, but you kid also have to dress me like a human, but don't embarrass me then, you know? ”
"Huh!" The guard Xiao Li smiled: "Battalion commander, you still need to say this, I have been reluctant to wear the new clothes that my mother made for me, so I will wait for the commander's wedding day to wear them." ”
Hearing this, Yang Liqing immediately laughed, "You kid, you can, this enlightenment!" ”
At the same time, Yang Liqing of the first battalion was preparing for Ouyang's marriage, Rui Nian, the commander of the second battalion, was also carefully preparing, and the commanders and fighters of the first, second, third, and fourth brigades of the Longtou detachment were also looking forward to the arrival of Ouyang's wedding day.
The dragon head detachment is preparing for a big happy event here, which is bitter for the Japanese army.
The Japanese troops in the entire Handan area were extremely nervous.
"Your Excellency, you said that Ouyang of the Eighth Route Army got married, could it be a cover?"
"I also think it might be a trap!"
"They are deliberately paralyzing us, and they will attack us when we are unprepared!"
"Your Excellency Captain, this matter must be guarded against!"
"The leading detachment of the Eighth Route Army, that's a big cunning!"
Hearing the words of the audience, the captain Fujita Yuki was also in a cold sweat, his face was pale, and he immediately ordered urgently: "During the wedding of Ouyang of the Eighth Route Army, our army must be strictly guarded, and we must not fall for them!" ”
"Hey!"
~~~~~
Handan City.
Headquarters of the 5th Garrison Brigade of the Japanese Army.
At this moment, in the huge conference room, all the Japanese officers were extremely nervous and sweating coldly.
They reached a unanimous judgment: the marriage of the Eighth Route Army is fake, and the conspiracy is true!
It's not that they're timid, it's that they're really scared!
At present, although the important cities and county towns in the entire Handan area are still in the hands of the Japanese army, they have no way to do anything in the face of the growing leading detachments of the Eighth Route Army entrenched in the countryside and in various towns and towns, but instead their strongholds and sentry posts have been taken by the Eighth Route Army again and again.
They were really scared by the dragon detachment!
Brigade commander Matsushita Incheon gritted his teeth and said: "Pass my order, order all departments of my 5th garrison brigade and all departments of the Imperial Allied Army, and all departments of the Imperial Association Army must do a good job of strict precautions in the near future, and absolutely not give the Eighth Route Army any opportunity to take advantage of, absolutely ~~~~!" ”
