Chapter 4: Turning to War (14)

On the fifteenth day of the lunar month, the moon is still so round, just shining on the ground, it is even colder, but it can also illuminate the shadows of the trees on the side of the road. Entering Lin'an City, there is more popularity, the windows of the houses, reflecting a faint light, in the quiet night, there will occasionally be a firecracker, as if to tell the world that the New Year is coming. The Japanese in the north arrived in Anji, and the Japanese in the east arrived in Hangzhou, where there is still a taste of Guotai and Min'an, Lin'an, and it is really Lin'an.

In this clear moonlight, Mo Dou's car drove to the yamen of Lin'an County. As soon as he got out of the car, Mo Di smiled.

The lights outside the yamen were bright, and at the gate, there were still people standing guard, and the people standing guard did not wear military uniforms, felt hats, cloth gowns, and trousers, and under their feet were Japanese soldiers' big leather shoes, with a Japanese army's armed belt tied around their waists, and a 38 rifle on their shoulders. This feeling is quite familiar, and Mo Di seems to have returned to Pingle a few years ago and seen the demeanor of the militia.

Several men dressed in various colors stood in the doorway against the cold wind, obviously to welcome his arrival.

Among them, three Mo Enemy knew each other, one was Li Benyi, one was Qin Jishi, the logistics director of his regiment, and the other was Jiang Chunyang, director of the Political Department. It seems that these two belong to the vanguard of the 1056th regiment, and the rest should still be on the way.

"Lao Qin and Lao Jiang, hard work!" Mo Di jumped out of the car and immediately walked towards Qin Jishi and Jiang Chunyang.

"Hello group!" The two did not dare to be ambiguous and saluted Mo Di.

"How long has it been?" Mo Di asked.

"Just arrived." Qin Jishi said: "All our vehicles went to support the military headquarters Xianxia all the way, and our own supplies could not be pulled, and the troops had to stay in the half-side pavilion and did not dare to move. It wasn't until the car finished pulling the people from Xianxia's side and returned to the Banbian Pavilion that the first batch of supplies was pulled over, and Lao Jiang and I also followed. As soon as you arrive in Lin'an, let Captain Li call here, and before you can stand firmly, your car has also arrived. ”

"We arrived a little early, and we got to know these people first, Commander, I'll introduce you first." Jiang Chunyang pulled Mo Di to a few strangers, and said with a smile: "Everyone, this is our regiment leader, Mo Di Colonel Mo Tianzong." ”

Several people were also very interested, and immediately applauded, and immediately burst into quite warm applause.

"This is the magistrate of Lin'an County, Lord Lu Xianda." Pointing to a middle-aged man in a long robe, Jiang Chunyang said. The county magistrate immediately pressed his top hat to his chest, bowed deeply, and said, "Xiaguan Lu Yan, I have seen the general." ”

is obviously a colonel, but he wants to be called a general, this is a face-to-face shot.

Mo Di stretched out his hand, shook hands with County Magistrate Lu, and said, "We have thousands of uninvited guests, uninvited, and have caused trouble for your county." ”

"Where, where the general can come to the small county, it has already flourished, how can there be any trouble." County Magistrate Lu said with a smile: "The general fought for the country, and his merits are in the thousands of years, and his name will be passed down from generation to generation. ”

Hearing the sycophants, I have never heard of the slapping to this extent, Mo Di couldn't help laughing, everyone loves to listen to good words.

"This is the local Commander Xie Yousheng of the Loyal National Salvation Army, Commander Xie is bold and hospitable, and tonight he is trying his best to catch the wind for the regiment commander, so he called us to accompany us." Jiang Chunyang said: "Commander Xie's wife, Ms. Huang Bamei, is a heroine, who has joined forces with us to resist Japan in Tianhuangping in the past few days, mobilized the people to carry materials, and made great contributions. ”

Mo Di smiled, stretched out his hand to Xie Yousheng, and said, "Commander Xie is polite!" ”

Xie Yousheng is dressed in casual clothes, let alone unarmed, in his forties, his head is bald, his body is thin, his eyes are protruding, and he looks like a big smoker. First bowed deeply, then stretched out his hands, and held the invincible hand in a holding way, he, the commander, only about 300 people, saw the regiment commander with more than 1,000 troops in his hand, respect is a must. As a veteran who has been on the rivers and lakes for decades, Xie Yousheng said happily: "This is as it should be, Commander Mo, I already know that this time our family followed Xu Lian Chang to Anji in the north, which can be described as a full return. This is all thanks to the care of Tuanzuo, I am a salt merchant, nothing else, only a few spare money, here, I put down the words first, as long as I am in Anji, I will eat and live in your department. ”

Mo Di said: "Now that the Japanese army is pressing the border and expanding the strength of the local troops, it is the responsibility of our regular troops, and I hope that Commander Xie can further expand the troops, increase the number of men, and after we leave, he can play the important task of defending the land and defending the people." ”

"Are you leaving?" The last person asked in surprise.

Mo Di nodded and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Jiang Chunyang hurriedly said: "This is Mr. Zhu Jinkui, the director of the Political Department of the Investigation and Statistics Bureau of the Military Commission of the National Government who sent Commander Xie to the Loyal National Salvation Army. ”

The Military Command Bureau was only announced on New Year's Day in 1938, and Mo Di didn't know what kind of organization it was, let alone the rank of this Mr. Zhu, and didn't know how to socialize, but Li Benyi replied truthfully: "The area of western Zhejiang and southern Anhui has been divided into the third theater, with General Gu Zhutong as the commander, and the specific person in charge of the military in western Zhejiang should be General Wu Qiwei's Fourth Army." Our Guangxi troops will all go to the Xuzhou area and enter the Fifth War Zone. ”

Hearing this, County Magistrate Lu's face changed greatly, and he said with a little horror: "As soon as you leave, Lin'an will suddenly become a vacuum, and Commander Xie will be weak, how can you stop the Japanese army from driving straight in." ”

Mo Di said: "Don't panic, the county magistrate, even if we want to leave, we have to fight a battle in Lin'an and then leave, first, to hurt the Japanese army, so that they will not dare to extend their tentacles into the northwest of Zhejiang in a short period of time, and second, to give Commander Xie a strong force and help Commander Xie to form an army as soon as possible." The third came to attract the attention of the Third Theater of Operations, so that Commander Wu of the Fourth Army turned his attention to the local area. ”

"And fourth, let's really learn how to beat the Japanese out of nowhere." Xie Yousheng took over and said: "The brothers who came back from Tianhuangping are full of praise for the tactics of the 1056th Regiment in Tianhuangping, and they are all well guided by the Mo regiment. Being able to learn two tricks in Mo Tuanza's hands is enough for us to use in the Lin'an area. ”

At this time, Qin Jishi couldn't help but say: "We won't just chat in this cold wind tonight!" ”

Everyone laughed, and under the leadership of Xie Yousheng, they walked towards the Zhiwei Building not far away.

The first batch of supplies has been pulled to Lin'an, and the brothers who were wounded in the battle have also returned, and the people left behind by the 1056 regiment have not left, and they are still guarding the remaining supplies. At the foot of the sheltered mountain, dozens of fires were lit, and the whole pine tree, dripping with clear pine oil, emitted thick black smoke, burning the whole valley with a breath of warmth. On the way to transfer, the beasts hunted by the warriors came out of the enticing fragrance around the campfire, and some people began to sing, singing the mountain song of the Yishan area: The weather is cold and the New Year is frozen, and the fire can only roast the chest, so I want to have a bed to sleep on, and there is no woman egg and idle.

In the camp, there was an earth-shattering cheer.

"In the barracks, it's really not suitable for women." Huang Bamei said to Xu Ping with a smile.

Xu Ping shook his head and said, "These guys with excess energy, unless they have something to do, otherwise, when they stop, they will either talk about women or sing women." ”

Huang Bamei smiled and said, "How old is Brother Xu this year?" ”

"Twenty-four." Xu Ping said.

"Are you married?" Huang Bamei asked.

Xu Ping shook his head and said: "My parents died in my early years, and only two brothers depended on each other, and then followed the regiment commander to live in the militia, and then followed the regiment commander to the army. There is no house in the house, and there is no land, who is willing to marry me. ”

"Brother Xu is wrong, a talent like you, where can you not find a house, where can you not find a piece of land, if you are willing to stay here to help me, in my loyal and righteous national salvation army, except for the position of commander, you can choose at will. I know a lot of girls, spicy, virtuous, gentle, everything, marry as many as you want. The two of you brothers, both follow Captain Mo, this is not appropriate, just follow one, the two are together, it's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens, it's a big deal. I don't know how many times this is, Huang Bamei has been persistently persuading Xu Ping, every time he was rejected by Xu Ping, this time it is estimated that the result is the same.

"Brother, I think Sister Huang's words make sense." Xu Ping didn't speak, but another voice came in.

Huang Bamei looked up and saw that it was Xu Le, in comparison, she was not very familiar with Xu Le, but her subordinate Liu Keji told herself more than once that Xu Ping's younger brother Xu Le's combat level was not below Xu Ping, and if he couldn't persuade Xu Ping to stay, it would be good to be able to keep Xu Le.

"I was a brother since I was a child, and I grew up in the township. I also thought before, no matter what, the two of us brothers should be together, have a care, and take care of it. Later, I felt more and more that this was not good. Xu Le said: "We fought from Shanghai to Zhejiang, fought a lot of battles, and encountered many dangers. It is our great fortune to follow the head of the regiment, if we follow Xie Dingxin, the two of us brothers would have been finished long ago. Brother, I think the two of us should take two different paths, even if one of them goes wrong, at least one of them can be saved. ”

"Yes! The so-called eggs can't be put in the same basket, that's the truth. Huang Bamei said: "Xu Ping, your brother is right. She quickly found that this Xu Le is more accessible, if she can't keep Xu Ping, it is also a good thing to keep Xu Le.

Xu Ping looked up at Xu Le and said, "I understand this truth, but I just followed the head of the regiment and didn't want to leave him." If Xu Le is willing, I have no objection to you staying. ”

Xu Le scratched his head and said, "What reason is there to stay?" ”

Xu Ping smiled and said: "This matter can't be hidden from the regiment commander, to be honest, let the regiment commander report to the above, just say that in Tianhuangping, you are seriously injured, just stay in the local area to heal." ”

Huang Bamei thought to herself, it's still her brother who is a step ahead!

At this moment, the lights of the cars were heard in the distance, and the convoy returned, and with the help of the light of the campfire, the soldiers filled the car with supplies again, and the convoy sped away again.

This time, Huang Bamei followed one of the cars out of Banbianting and went to Lin'an first. She wanted to return to Lin'an first, and asked Mo Di for someone first, so she used the reason that her eggs could not be put in the same basket before, and asked Mo Di to give her one of the Xu family brothers.

Mo Enemy, who was still talking and laughing in the Zhiwei Building, didn't know that at this moment, the foot of his wall was dug up by the boss.
