Chapter 7: Rivers and Mountains (4)

Zhao Guolong beckoned, the soldiers of the two squads lined up in two columns under the leadership of the squad leader, trotted to the end of the two columns of the Axe Gang and stood still, the Mauser M712 in his hand was connected to the wooden gun case, and hung diagonally on his chest, holding a long magazine in his left hand, and his right hand was stuck on the board machine. The Axe Gang was originally very powerful, and when they saw such twenty or so automatic Mausers, they didn't feel a little trembling, and when they swept out, there were twenty rings, and the Xuanhua axe in their hands couldn't be stopped.

From the gate, a group of people strode out, the first one, medium stature, sword eyebrows, a poplin Tang suit on his body, a pair of standard military trousers on the lower body, a pair of cloth shoes with mille-feuille soles under his feet, more than fifty years old, a neatly trimmed mustache, very majestic.

Looking at the person who came, Mo Di knew that it should be Yuan Doushu, so he stopped with Xu Ping, and the villager who followed Mo Di Xu Ping greeted him, and bowed his hand to Yuan Doushu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Dipper, the old man is fortunate not to be bed, and he has invited General Xu and Colonel Mo." ”

"If you're tired, you can't drink two more glasses in a while!" Yuan Doushu returned the salute.

Walking in front of the invincible Xu Ping, Yuan Doushu arched his hand and said: "I have heard for a long time that the 526 Brigade is invincible and the deputy brigade commander has a strange skeleton, is ingenious, and is known as the world's Pang Tong. ”

"The seniors have won the award, but Tianzong is the first time I heard that it is compared to Pang Fengxiao of the Three Kingdoms, and I am terrified." Mo Di said with a smile: "When I came to Guibao Land, I didn't ask my seniors for peace in time, and I also asked my seniors to forgive my sins." ”

"No sin, no sin! There is no reason to blame the meritorious service of resisting Japan. Yuan Doushu nodded to Xu Ping, he already knew that although this military rank was high, he was an invincible subordinate, and the position of the guest of honor was set as invincible.

Walking side by side with Mo Di and walking past Zhao Guolong's troops, Yuan Doushu nodded and said, "Sure enough, the lion of a hundred battles, no wonder it can easily clean up the Sakai detachment." ”

Then walked to the axe gang in front of the two lines of columns, only to hear a shout, the two columns of gangs in the hands of the long-handled Xuanhua axe raised at the same time, in the air two by two, to form an axe gate, the axe axe opposite, very good-looking, Mo Enemy knows that this is the highest etiquette to welcome guests in the rivers and lakes, and also bowed three times, which is regarded as worshipping the mountain gate. Walking in the axe gate with Yuan Doushu, Mo Dou said: "Sure enough, the Sakai detachment is a group of murderous demons, and they didn't kill the local people in Hefei in vain, thanks to the prestige of the Axe Gang." We are ashamed that our army can kill the enemy, but it cannot reassure the people. ”

Yuan Doushu nodded and said: "Xu Yuanquan guards Hefei, I have mobilized the people of Hefei to raise donations, if you want grain, meat and meat, and build fortifications, we will demolish the beams of the house." It's a pity that he didn't resist for a day, and he was driven west in panic by the Sakai detachment. After the Japanese army entered Hefei, I personally went to see Tokutaro Sakai and told him that he could be stationed in Hefei, and that our Axe Gang would not embarrass him, and that we would help him raise grain and trade it at market prices, and everyone would be safe. But there is one thing, no burning, killing and looting, as soon as this happens, our axe gang will go all out to fight to the death with the Japanese army in Hefei. Tokutaro Sakai agreed not to disturb the people and not to commit adultery, and these times, but he also did what he said. Some people say that I am doing this as a traitor, I don't care, I wait for the people, just to survive, even if it is to survive, it is also to survive. Let you see the smile! ”

"Don't dare to laugh, the sky admires it." Mo Di said: "The national army is incompetent and cannot protect the territory, so that the Japanese army will drive straight into the army and trap the people under the iron hooves. ”

The two walked to the flower hall in the garden and sat down, and someone had already brought tea.

"Brigade Commander Mo took Hefei this time, can he be stationed here to protect the territory and the people." Yuan Doushu asked.

Mo Di shook his head and said: "I have received a notice from Shangfeng that I will go to Lu'an early tomorrow morning to return to the building, how to deal with Hefei, and I want to ask my seniors for advice." ”

Yuan Doushu nodded, with an expression that was really like this, and said: "As far as I know, Sakai Tokutaro escaped by luck last night, joined the reinforcements in Chaohu Yicheng, and drove to Lujiang overnight. If your unit withdraws from Hefei, won't Hefei once again be handed over to the Japanese army? ”

"I'm gone, he's still there." Mo Di pointed at Xu Ping and said to Yuan Doushu: "Under the instructions of the Military Command Bureau, the Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army in Eastern Anhui will stay in the Chaohu River Basin, with Hefei as the center, and establish an anti-Japanese base behind enemy lines in Chaohu, Chuzhou, Bengbu, and Mingguang. ”

"Wandong Loyal Salvation Army!" Yuan Doushu glanced at Xu Ping, and swept the rank on Xu Ping's shoulder very carefully, Major General, the rank is not low, I don't know what the strength is.

Someone came to spread the word, saying that the dish has been served, please move to the restaurant, Yuan Doushu stood up first, this time, he did not walk with Mo Di, but walked side by side with Xu Ping, Mo Di was accompanied by the old villagers, and the old villagers introduced the scenery in the garden to Mo Di all the way, but they were also happy.

A table of good dishes, there are not too many characteristics, only a pot of old hen delicious, deeply praised by Mobin, because from the guest of honor to the second guest, and Yuan Doushu's communication has also been a lot, more is to talk with some townsmen about culture, talk about Fengyue, talk about the customs of Hefei, to Xu Ping and Yuan Doushu to talk about something, Mo Di said he was not interested.

Mo Di is not interested, but Jin Tongxuan can't help but be interested, Yuan Doushu knows Jin Tongxuan's uncle, and the friendship is not bad, for such a nephew of the old man serving in the Eastern Anhui Loyal Salvation Army, Yuan Doushu suddenly felt that this team was also much closer, thinking that this was not a subordinate of the Gui family, but a relatively independent local rebel army. With this ideological foundation, the next conversation was much easier, Yuan Doushu sold the old and introduced a lot of management skills of this place to Xu Ping, the green forest mountain bandits in various places, and several major forces in Chaohu, including Song Erhu in Bengbu, Zhang Changsheng in Chaohu and so on. A man in his fifties is the age when he likes to show off his knowledge, and it is rare for Xu Ping and Jin Tongxuan to listen respectfully to the two juniors, and they are even more interested in talking, which soon makes Xu Ping and Jin Tongxuan have a general impression of the entire Chaohu Lake. Under Jin Tongxuan's three sentences of flattery and two sentences of praise, Yuan Doushu happily accepted the invitation to serve as the captain of the Hefei Advance Brigade of the Eastern Anhui Loyal and Righteous National Salvation Army.

Back to the old barracks of Jiaoxutai, everything here has been very organized, the battlefield cleaning has become easier because of the help of the people of Hefei, nearly 2,000 corpses have been made into several large pits, guns and ammunition in the river have also been salvaged, leather shoes and steel helmets are all piled together, becoming a hill. The barracks of the old barracks have been renovated, and there is no longer a trace of the post-war state. As if to reward and affirm their work, the common people of Hefei came to the barracks with their own dishes and drank with the soldiers, until the Mo Enemy returned to the barracks, and they were still drunk.

Li Songde, chief of staff of the 526 Brigade, came to Hefei from Lu'an, and he brought a piece of news that everyone could not accept, so that Huang Tianhua and Gong Qingyuan did not drink a sip of wine and sulked in the headquarters. When Xu Ping walked into the gate of the headquarters, he heard Chen Zhengxin scolding his mother: "Lao Tzu is not going, Lao Tzu will go to Boss Xu." ”

"What are you mad about?" Mo Di asked.

Seeing Mo Di walking in, everyone stood up, Huang Tianhua pointed at Li Songde and said to Mo Di: "You ask him, the news brought back by Chief of Staff Li is really not happy." ”

Seeing Li Songde, Mo Di smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Chief of Staff Li is really elusive, and he will come as soon as he says it." ”

"I have long wanted to come, in Tianjia'an sent the medicine to Shou County, I wanted to come back, but was retained by the division, only to know, the above did not want to keep me, but wanted to leave my two cars, from Shou County to Lu'an, my car can play a big role, the driver basically did not look at the eyes, day and night dry car, I told the division commander, these cars are not the 526 brigade, it is the loyal and righteous salvation army in eastern Anhui, can not be used at such a cost, but was scolded by the chief of staff of the division Yun, saying that it only works, and he will negotiate with Xu Ping, Isn't it just two cars, what's wrong with borrowing and using it, it's just asking for it directly, Xu Ping doesn't dare to do anything, it's a big deal to give money, otherwise he will give the land, and it's not that he hasn't given it. ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "Then the final decision is to give money or land, won't it just be said, I want real money!" ”

"You also believe Yun Yinglin's words, although the staff officer is the leader, the fart still doesn't make a sound." Gong Qingyuan said with a smile: "Chief of Staff Li, your fart made us all stunned, let's talk about that." ”

Li Songde shook his head embarrassedly, as if he had done something wrong, and said to Mo Di apologetically: "I can't resist the pressure, and a new brigade commander has been appointed to our brigade from above." ”

When Mo Di heard this, he smiled easily, he never thought that he would be the brigade commander, regardless of qualifications and academic qualifications, the old brigade commander of the 526 brigade is Tan Heyi, which is the new brigade commander? When the new brigade commander arrives, what will the old brigade commander do, whether he will be promoted or transferred? Although he has not cooperated seriously with this Brigade Commander Tan, Brigade Commander Tan is a very good person, after his injury stabilized, he held the position of commander of the 526 Brigade, but he has never interfered in the management of the work of the 526 Brigade, and let himself toss.

Li Songde didn't expect Mo Di to be so detached, and he didn't care that the new brigade commander was someone else at all, not himself, it seemed that he really didn't think about this position, this is a very self-aware person. Mo Di was more relaxed, with a smile on his face, he said to Mo Di: "Brigade Commander Tan is Gao Chang, who is the deputy commander of the 176th Division and the director of the Political Department. The new brigade commander is also an acquaintance, Ma Weixin, the former commander of the 525th Regiment of the 1051st Brigade. ”

"Oh! It's him, he's quite old, and he's an old man of the Nineteenth Route Army, so it's time to be promoted to the next level! Mo Di said.

Li Songde looked at Mo Dou disappreciatively, the smile on his face turned into a wry smile, and said: "It's just that this one is a little funny, he also brought his 1051 regiment to the 526 brigade, and changed the 1055 regiment of Commander Qin to the 525 brigade, which can be regarded as careful!" ”

Mo Di was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, it seems that this person is also quite worried about his status in the 526 Brigade, and he, the deputy brigade commander, is already a bit of a master.
