Chapter 12: The Aftermath of War (23)

"What? Took down Caizi Lake! After listening to Shi Chong's report, Mo Di was surprised, and looked up to the sky and smiled, which was really a bit unexpected to him.

Jin Tongxuan also looked at Shi Zhong with incredible eyes, as the chief of staff, as a native of Anhui, he knew the significance of Caizi Lake to Dabie Mountain, and after taking Caizi Lake, he mastered a water passage from Anqing to Dabie Mountain. After the upper reaches of the Dasha River enter the Dabie Mountain, although the water is shallow and rapid, through dredging and erecting a winch, small boats can be pulled up to the beachhead, and some small cargo ships can even reach Longguan or even the Peng River. Although the road from the Penghe River to Shiguan is not wide and rugged, it can pass through pack horses. When you arrive at Shiguan, there is a highway leading directly to the soup pond and the heaven. Opening a transportation line to the east is Jin Tongxuan's dream.

Not only was the field supplement regiment overjoyed, but the 176th Division also smelled fishy like a hunting dog. As soon as they heard the news, Jiang Chunyang, director of the Political Department of the 176th Division, and Qin Jishi, director of the Logistics Department, immediately rushed to Tiandi, found Mo Di as soon as possible, and solemnly told Mo Di a decision of the division headquarters, Huang Guilin, commander of the guard company of the 176 th Division, was responsible for widening the mountain road from Shiguan to Penghe, and it must meet the standard of carriage traffic. Mo Di laughed and said that the division headquarters wanted a piece of the pie. Qin Jishi said, you can't eat meat, and the division didn't even drink the soup. Jiang Chunyang said: We also know that it is impossible to gain benefits without making efforts, so we are willing to undertake the work of widening land and dredging waterways. Mo Di knows Tan Heyi very well, the general who was born as the chief of affairs of the Nanning Military Academy has his own unique understanding of logistics, and he is even more obsessed with transportation channels. The headquarters of the 176th Division came to Yuexi, and it was indeed a bit of a bully to the field supplement regiment, directly occupying the achievements of the field supplement regiment, there was only one road leading to Meicheng, which was opened by the field supplement regiment, and the road to the west of Huoshan Mountain in the north was opened, although it could only be carried by people, but there were soldiers set up by the field supplement regiment to play a vital role, although the 176th Division was a superior department, it was also a little blushing to use. If a passage to Tongcheng can be opened, the 176th Division will be alive and will have the qualifications to speak on its own. You must know that several beach winches on the Dasha River are all set up by the field supplement regiment, and if the division headquarters does not contribute any more efforts, I am afraid that it will be difficult to insert into this channel.

"This Sun Da Scara is good, knows current affairs, and is a character." Mo Di turned his head and said to Shi Chong. He doesn't want to talk nonsense with Jiang Chunyang and Qin Jishi anymore, the interests are equally shared, he has no opinion, as long as he works hard, there will be a reward. In his opinion, this Sun Da Scara can resolve the situation of death, can afford to put it down, and if it can be included in his account, he is an assistant.

Shi Zhong shook his head and said: "This person is not very good, he is just a treacherous and slippery, he can be counted as good as he is good, otherwise, he would have been cleaned up with one shot." Relatively speaking, I admire Liu Renkai more, this is the real talent. I want to hand over Caizi Lake to him, and it is best to find a way to get him an independent number and let him call the wind and rain in Caizi Lake. ”

Mo Di nodded, he and Jin Tongxuan had analyzed this kind of guy who had defected to the Red Army, and agreed that the people of the Red Party had been brainwashed, and it was difficult to ascend to the sky if they wanted to change them, rather than letting him stay in his own team, it was better to let him have a relatively independent area, he would be red if he wanted to be popular, and he would be white if he wanted to be white.

pulled Jiang Chunyang, who was sitting on the side and smirked, and said, "My field supplement regiment is too big, can the division give some independent units numbers?" ”

"No problem, as long as you don't ask the division headquarters for salary." Jiang Chunyang said very happily: "The subsidiary organs of the 176th Division are relatively few, and other divisions, miscellaneous subordinate institutions, are not clear. Who do you want to give a number? ”

"Liu Renkai of Caizi Lake." Mo Di said: "The Caizi Lake area, near Anqing, is very chicken, it is difficult to manage, and it is even more difficult not to manage, I thought about it, it is best to hand it over to Liu Renkai, and we will be a backstage boss." ”

Jiang Chunyang nodded and said: "I will deal with this matter immediately, and give Liu Ren the number of the Anqing Guerrilla Independent Brigade, battalion level, directly under the 176th Division, Liu Renkai is the captain of the major, has personnel rights, and raises his own expenses." ”

Shi Chongle is very good, this is completely beyond his promise to Liu Renkai. This time, Liu Renkai performed well, and it only took one day to complete the rectification of the Caizihu bandits, and after that, the guard battalion gave a lot of ammunition and exchanged a lot of materials with the Caizihu bandits, many of which were daily necessities in demand in Yuexi, such as Tang porcelain and ironware. With these items, the New Year's goods market of He Degui suddenly became much higher-end.

When Shi Zhong left Caizi Lake, he left Chief of Staff Huang Yingyi to assist Liu Renkai in rectifying the Caizi Lake bandits, and left Zhang Shenghu and all of his companies behind, and most importantly, left a radio station for Liu Renkai, so that Caizi Lake bid farewell to the previous isolation and became synchronized with the outside world in one fell swoop.

When Liu Renkai received the telegram and knew that he had been promoted to major captain, he smiled and threw the telegram aside. On one side, there was also a telegram, which was sent from Huaibei, and the sender was Guo Taiqing, Guo Taiqing told Liu Renkai that he had reported Liu Renkai to the Henan-Anhui Soviet Prefecture as the left-behind person in charge of the Red Party in the Anqing area, and his superiors ordered him to nail it like a nail in the Caizihu area. The content of this telegram is known only to Liu Renkai and Huang Yingyi, because the telegram was received by Huang Yingyi. When Huang Yingyi handed the telegram to Liu Renkai, he jokingly patted Liu Renkai on the shoulder, but it was not like jokingly telling him that it was not for nothing that one set of people and two sets of signboards was not unprecedented, as long as the left and right sides changed, the political opinions of the brothers in his family were different, some were red and some were white, but it did not affect the brotherhood in the family. The most important thing at the moment is to let Liu Renkai find a telegraph operator he can trust, and it is really embarrassing to convey such a confidential matter through himself.

When Huang Yingyi and Zhang Shenghu finished solving the various problems of Caizi Lake and said goodbye to Liu Renkai and returned to Yuexi Paradise, it was already the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve, and they were pulled to their respective positions when they entered the barracks. The reconnaissance company waited for twelve empty tables, the large pieces of meat in the pot were fragrant, and the large bowls of wine on the table were crystal clear, and the brethren of the regimental headquarters waited only for their arrival to open the table.

Luo Wei and Qin Guosheng went to Wuhe to spend the festival with the three main battalions, and Mo Di was forced to stay in Paradise to entertain the upcoming New Year's greetings, entertain the Yuexi County Government and the county party department, and go to the Tangchi Division to express his heart, these jobs can only be performed by him, and no one can replace them. Although the regimental headquarters of the field supplement regiment in Paradise was absent from the three main battalions, there were still a lot of personnel, only the baggage brigade and the guard battalion, there were more than 2,000 people, fortunately, the baggage team was able to be divided into pieces and distributed to each military station for the festival, otherwise, the regimental headquarters could not be accommodated, just like that, it was still full of 100 tables, all of which were hot pots, and the lively atmosphere raised the temperature of the entire military camp by a few degrees.

Mo Di, Jin Tongxuan, He Degui, Shi Zhong and others sat at a table, leaving a place for Huang Yingyi, and when Huang Yingyi sat down, He Degui gave an order: "Open the table." ”

"Yingyi has worked hard!" The first glass of wine was given to Huang Yingyi, who was in the dust.

Huang Yingyi was not tired, stood up, picked up the wine glass, thanked Mo Invincible for the toast, and said: "These days I have lived a good life by Caizi Lake, and every day the lake is fresh and eats in different ways. ”

He Degui said: "The fish in Caizi Lake is good, the meat is thick and fat, I asked the kitchen to make some fish pieces temporarily, and they will be raw for a while, and they will be eaten directly in hot pot." All the rest are put into the oil pot and fried, and some will be sent to Director Li, the county magistrate of Jiang County, and some will be sent to the division headquarters tomorrow. ”

Jin Tongxuan's wife, Zhang Xiaohui, looked at a pot of fat and was disgusted, heard that there was fish, and said, "I'll wait until there is fish before eating." When he heard that there was fried fish again, he quickly stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen myself and make a sweet and sour fish to eat." If there is fried fish, as long as you boil some sweet and sour in the pot and put the fried fish in it, it is a good dish. ”

Huang Yingyi looked at Jin Tongxuan, who was sitting still, and asked in surprise: "Why don't you go with your sister-in-law?" ”

Jin Tongxuan said: "I don't know how to cook, what are I going to do?" ”

Huang Yingyi said: "Today is the Chinese New Year, and with the ginseng seat following, the fish made by my sister-in-law must be more delicious." ”

Jin Tongxuan shook his head and said, "Ying Yi will definitely love his wife in the future!" Okay, I'll go and make a mess for Xiaohui. ”

He Degui said with a smile: "Yingyi is good, he is beautiful and likable, next time let Mrs. Senza get you a princess." ”

Everyone laughed, the day before yesterday, received a telegram from Wei Yongcheng, they held a very Western-style wedding in Xi'an, and they actually did it in the church, Madame Jiang personally presided over the marriage, and all the party, government and military figures in Xi'an were present, and the local celebrities were like carp crossing the river. The princess's wedding is really different from mortals.

After a while, Jin Tongxuan and his family brought a big bowl of sweet and sour fish up, and Huang Yingyi ate a piece and praised it, thinking that it was full of color, flavor and flavor. Mo Di ate a small piece, he didn't feel very good, he thought it was not as good as a large piece of meat in the hot pot, and glanced at Huang Yingyi, I don't know if this guy is inherently hypocritical or insincere. He Degui ate a piece, nodded, and said, this taste is similar to the taste of southern Guinan, and it is estimated that people in Nanning can accept it, but people in northern Guizhou may not be able to accept this sweet and sour taste. Zhang Xiaohui opened her eyes wide and asked curiously, is there such a big difference between you and the north and south in Guangxi? Mo Di smiled, it was really so big, and after glancing at Huang Yingyi, the trace of hypocrisy in his heart before was gone, but he felt a kind of sincerity, Huang Tianhua, this little brother, is a lover!

After a while, the raw fish pieces were brought up, and just as the big meat in the pot was empty, it made room, poured the fish into the pot, and boiled it over high heat, and after a while, it turned white. Mo Di took a piece, rolled it in the sauce, took a bite gently, and praised it: "Fresh!" Pretty fresh! ”

"It's been a few years since I came out, and this year's Chinese New Year is the most abundant!" Shi Zhong sighed: "Thank you, Director He, all of this is your credit." ”

Mo Di also raised his glass and said, "Lao He has worked behalf of the whole group, I would like to give you a glass." ”

He Degui hurriedly raised his glass and said, "The brothers are working hard in the front, if I can't even do the logistics, I'll be so sorry!" If you want to say thank you, you have to thank the group, if it weren't for the group seat in the chest, I wouldn't be able to do this. ”

Jin Tongxuan said with a smile: "The group seat is meritorious, Lao He also has meritorious, and everyone here is a meritorious person." ”

"Except for me." followed by Zhang Xiaohui's weak voice.

"You also have merit!" Mo Di said: "I got a princess over and made Wei Yongcheng an attached horse, so that we know what the royal relatives are." ”

Everyone raised their glasses and drank it all.

"Everyone says a good word and borrows some auspiciousness." Mo Di proposed, and all agreed.

"I wish us another victory next year." Shi Zhong said.

"I wish us another new achievement next year." Jin Tongxuan said.

"I wish you both the best of luck next year." Huang Yingyi said with a smile.

Another burst of laughter.

Mo Di said: "I hope we will have more supplies next year." ”

"I'm afraid it's a little difficult!" He Degui looked at Mo Di, his face was full of bitterness, and said: "Don't say anything else, it's just that the gasoline of the convoy has been used up so far." ”

"Nothing left?" Mo Di asked

"There's nothing left!" He Degui replied affirmatively: "From the first day to the fifth day of the new year, the shuttle bus to Meicheng is suspended, which is easy to do." After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, you can't get gasoline, which will affect the people's travel, and it will be troublesome. ”

Mo Di knows that this matter is not trivial, it is a major matter related to the people's livelihood, the shuttle bus from Heaven to Meicheng is the most decent thing to do after the Ye Bu Group enters Yuexi, once it is suspended, the impact will be very bad.

After thinking about it for a while, Mo Di couldn't think of a countermeasure, and said: "Brothers, I will drink a meal tonight, and I will go to the headquarters early tomorrow morning to discuss how to get gasoline back." ”

Jin Tongxuan and Huang Yingyi glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, this Spring Festival, I'm afraid that I will be busy again!
