In his own home, there were no outsiders present, Wang Haitao was completely relaxed, he teased his son Xiao Zhansheng while drinking with Donald, and from time to time he also said a few words to Aunt Feng. But after a while, Wang Haitao saw that Tang Lao and Feng Gu seemed to have something on their minds, and the laughter on their faces was always a little unnatural. After Wang Haitao toasted Donald with another glass of wine, he couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law, Haitao seems to have something on his mind when he sees his father-in-law, and there are no outsiders here, so his father-in-law might as well say it to Haitao." ”

Donald took a sip of the wine glass and drank it dry, and said, "Virtuous son-in-law, it is said that you have just come back, and the old man should not ask you about these troubles, but since the virtuous son-in-law has seen it, the old man will say it directly." I heard that this time the little Japan was ruthless, and sent more than 100,000 troops to deal with the virtuous son-in-law and our Longzhou City, the old man and the Feng girl are worried about the virtuous son-in-law and Longzhou City, the virtuous son-in-law, you tell the old man the truth, can this Longzhou City be defended?"

Wang Haitao smiled when he heard it and said, "Father-in-law, you are too nervous. At most, the little Japanese can come to attack Longzhou City, and the 100,000 troops under my command are not vegetarians, and I haven't gone to trouble the little Japanese, but they have come to the door. Father-in-law, Aunt Feng, you just have to rest assured, I guarantee that Longzhou City will be fine. ”

Tang Lao nodded, a little relaxed, but then said: "Virtuous son-in-law, little Japan is fierce, and virtuous son-in-law doesn't have to fight with them, it's a big deal to get out of this Longzhou City, let's go into the mountains to take refuge for a while, and let go in the future, stay in the green mountains, how can there be no firewood." Wang Haitao smiled again and said: "Father-in-law, you are too worried, how can Haitao be afraid of little Japan with 100,000 tigers in his hands, and retreating without a fight is not something Haitao can do!"

Donald said again: "Also, the virtuous son-in-law is a famous anti-Japanese general, how can he retreat without a fight? But the virtuous son-in-law must remember that when you can't be defeated, you must not fight hard, and you must take care of yourself." Wang Haitao replied: "Uncle Yue's relaxation is that Haitao and Little Japan have been fighting for many years, and he knows it. Tang Lao knew that Wang Haitao had always been steady, and he could hear that Wang Haitao was extremely confident in his words, so he didn't say more, changed the topic, and the atmosphere at the banquet relaxed again.

Full of wine and food, Tang Laoji was a little drunk, and went back to the bedroom to rest with the support of the servant, Wang Haitao's family of three also returned to their bedrooms, Wang Haitao teased for a while, and talked to Aunt Feng, but he didn't realize that it was quite late, and Xiao Zhansheng also fell asleep. Xiao Biesheng is newly married, Wang Haitao has not been intimate with Fenggu for several months, at this time it is naturally dry firewood, and there is no need to elaborate on the spring in a house.

The next morning, when Wang Haitao got up, Feng Gu and Xiao Zhansheng were asleep and did not wake up, Wang Haitao did not alarm them, and quietly went out of the bedroom. After washing, I had a simple breakfast, exchanged services with the servants, and went out to the military headquarters. The home is not too far from the military headquarters, and it is only a few streets away, Wang Haitao simply stopped taking the car and walked to the military headquarters.

In addition to the shops selling food on the street have been opened, there are few other shops that are open, at this time the people who go out are either going to work or working, or there is something, and the pedestrians are in a hurry, and occasionally someone recognizes Wang Haitao, that is, to say hello. Wang Haitao also likes this ordinary feeling, looking at these people, he has a sense of responsibility in his heart.

As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the military department, I heard the sound of soldiers in the military department, and the guard at the door saw Wang Haitao walking over, stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stood up and saluted. Wang Haitao returned the military salute and walked into the gate of the military headquarters. The military headquarters of the 90th Army was rebuilt from the original garrison of the security regiment, and now the military headquarters is garrisoned by the 1st Guard Regiment. Wang Haitao quietly came to the playground behind, but found that Tang Fu, the head of the first guard regiment, was also here, watching his subordinates practice.

When the guard brigade was a guard company, it was trained by Wang Haitao, and the soldiers of the guard company are at least a company commander until now. This Tang Fu was Tang Lao's personal guard back then, and because of his good marksmanship, he was selected into the guard company. When Wang Haitao approached Tang Fu, Tang Fu found that there was someone behind him, turned around and saw that it was Wang Haitao, and immediately stood up and saluted and shouted: "Good military seat!"

Wang Haitao returned the military salute and said with a smile: "What's the matter, you don't feel at ease with your subordinates? Tang Fu replied: "Isn't there a war coming soon?" I asked the battalion commanders below to intensify their training, and if they can't sleep in the morning, they will come over and take a look. In the past, Tang Fu shouted "uncle" when he saw Wang Haitao, and Wang Haitao corrected it many times before changing his words, but his attitude towards Wang Haitao was still the attitude towards the head of the family.

Wang Haitao knew that Tang Fu always regarded the army as the private army of the Wang family, and he was very strict with his subordinates. Wang Haitao observed the training of the fighters while chatting with Tang Fu. When Wang Haitao asked how the soldiers were in mood when the war was about to start, Tang Fu replied: "Junzao, you spend a lot of money every month, and you have good food and drink for them, and if anyone is strained when it comes to desperate time, I will kill him first without using Junzao!" However, Junzao, our regiment does not have a single such coward, and I heard that there is a war to be fought, and the strength is more than anything else!"

This is what Wang Haitao expected, the guard brigade and the reconnaissance brigade are the elite of the elite, after so many years of fighting, the big waves have washed the sand, and the bad ones have been eliminated, and there is nothing to say about those who remain. Tang Renxin also attached importance to Longzhou City and the protection of the guard brigade to put the guard brigade in Longzhou City to watch his family. However, what Wang Haitao thought was that good steel should be used on the blade, and if there was a chance, he would still have to pull the guard brigade up to fight a dozen.

After watching it for a while, Wang Haitao was very satisfied with the training of the first guard regiment, and seeing that it was not too early, Wang Haitao said hello to Tang Fu and walked to the office. Today, Wang Haitao wanted to go to the Independent Division and the 93rd Division to have a look, but as soon as he entered the office, Zhao Zhongwu came to the office and asked Wang Haitao to report on the recruitment of soldiers in Longzhou City.

In such a big war, it is certain that the troops will suffer losses, and the losses of the troops cannot always be replenished by the independent division, otherwise the independent division will never be able to raise its combat effectiveness. Zhao Zhongwu means to recruit several militia groups, maintain law and order in peacetime, conduct military training, and after the war, they can be used as supplementary regiments to supplement various troops.

Guangxi Province and the whole province are to vigorously develop the militia group, and Guangxi has many mountains, and the mountain people are fierce and strong, and they are the best source of soldiers. However, the Ninety Army has conscripted many times, and the people who are suitable for being soldiers near Longzhou have almost been recruited, and if they want to recruit soldiers again, they must go to other places to recruit and recruit soldiers from other places, one is that the cost will increase, and the other is afraid that it will cause contradictions in the Gui department, so Zhao Zhongwu specially came to ask Wang Haitao for instructions.

Wang Haitao thought for a while and said: "The scale of the Ninety Army is too large, and one Longzhou County is no longer enough to use. Your conscription can also be carried out within the Chongzuo region, and I will deal with them on the Gui side. As for spending money, you go and discuss it with Renli, and tell Renli that you don't need to be afraid of spending money, the main thing is that you can't treat conscripted families and conscripted recruits badly. ”

With Wang Haitao's instructions, Zhao Zhongwu had a bottom in his heart, and immediately wanted to discuss the matter with Tang Li, Wang Haitao stopped Zhao Zhongwu, who was leaving, and said: "Zhongwu, I'm going to go out for a few days soon, and I'm going to go to the Ninety-third Division and the Independent Division in the south to have a look." At home, you and Renli are still in charge of the overall situation. Zhao Zhongwu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Junzao, you still have to pay more attention to safety, you are the backbone of our Ninety Army, and there must be no mistakes." ”

Wang Haitao smiled and said: "It's okay, I'll pay attention, I'll take a guard company away, you have to worry more here in Longzhou." Zhao Zhongwu knew that he couldn't stop Wang Haitao, so he should go to Tang Renli immediately and tell Wang Haitao that he was going to the south to inspect. Wang Haitao originally thought that it would be enough to bring only one guard company, but after everyone insisted repeatedly, Wang Haitao still took a guard battalion on the road.

This time, Wang Haitao did not bring the Tangshan leopard, so that the Tangshan leopard was ready for battle at home. Wang Haitao went with the first battalion of the third guard regiment, and the battalion commander Zhou Sheng led the team. Before leaving, Tangshan Leopard called Zhou Sheng over, and told Zhou Sheng to protect the military seat. After Zhou Sheng made countless promises, Tangshan Leopard let him go.

Wang Haitao asked Tangshan Leopard to talk to Tang Lao and them, and after lunch, he led the team to set off. Wang Haitao sat in a jeep, the guard battalion rode in a truck, and the group left Longzhou City and headed south. Soon after leaving Longzhou City, the convoy entered the mountainous area, in the mountains and mountains, the mountain road was winding, sometimes up the mountain, sometimes down the mountain. Fortunately, when the 93rd Division passed, the road surface was repaired, and now there is no problem for the convoy to pass.

The convoy traveled for an afternoon and encountered a guard post of the Independent Division outside a small town. There was a squad of soldiers in the outpost, and after the squad leader heard that it was the military seat who came to inspect it, he still checked Wang Haitao's ID before reporting to the division headquarters by telephone. Wang Haitao was not in a hurry, just waiting in the car for the squad leader to report to the peak. Soon the squad leader ran over, first stood up and saluted, and then said: "Report to the military seat, our division headquarters is in the town in front, and the division seat is already waiting for the military seat." ”

Wang Haitao nodded, and led the convoy to the town, the squad leader behind him wiped the cold sweat on his head, and said to the people around him: "Mother, alas! I actually stopped the military seat today, and the military seat has not punished me, so his grandmother is lucky!" The convoy slowly approached the town, Wang Haitao saw in the car, this is in a valley in the mountains, there are dozens of families, it is almost the same as a village, but the stone at the gate of the town is clearly engraved with the words "Nalong Town".

At the gate of the town, Wei Hai, the commander of the independent division, was waiting for Wang Haitao with a few people. The town was too small for the truck to drive in, so after Wang Haitao and the others parked the truck in the open space outside the town, Wang Haitao, who got out of the car, walked towards Wei Hai and the others. Wei Hai and the others also greeted them, and when they arrived in front of Wang Haitao, several people stood up and saluted at the same time, shouting: "Good military seat!"
