Chapter Seventy-Nine: Chinese Taijiquan
"A lot of foreign soldiers......"
The people in the miscellaneous barracks and Lu Feizhang's subordinates were all quietly watching the newcomers outside the door, and of course they also saw a large number of gendarmes.
Unlike ordinary soldiers, these soldiers wore a dark armband with a yellow square outward, decorated with a red box and the words "gendarmerie" on it.
"Brother Tobacco Bag, are those gendarmes reinforcing us?"
Luo Mingyang, deputy commander of the miscellaneous battalion, quietly touched the old cigarette pouch Li Youtian with his elbow, and asked in a low voice.
"Who knows...... No matter what they want to do, let's listen to Chief Zhang. You give me those old Bali who are leading me, as well as Company Commander Tao and Guan Shijie, all call Lao Tzu to nag. ”
They are all commanded by Zhang Sixing, and if they really want something, it is better for them to be ventilated.
At this time Zhang Sixing and Hansen. Ying'er was in the tank, busy guarding the lantern. They tried to manipulate their weapons, and figured it out so they could teach the improvised gunners outside.
"There are three people in a tank, one machine gunner and two gunners, remember that the personnel should arrange for their brains to be smart, but there is no time for them to learn more, don't drop the chain when they use it tomorrow."
Hansen in the tank is like being bullied,
"Sir, originally they didn't have a few gunners, but now they have two more tanks and four guns, sir, no one of us will use ......"
Zhang Sixing, who was trying to manipulate the artillery to aim, did not reply without replying,
"You don't have a person who is only responsible for one position, the light of aiming is responsible for aiming, the gunner is only responsible for firing the bolt and the gun, and the ammunition man is only responsible for loading the shells."
After a pause, Zhang Sixing looked back at him,
"Look for the lightly wounded, especially the lightly wounded in the miscellaneous barracks, and don't let them go to ...... again"
Speaking of this, Zhang Sixing sat down and stretched out his hand,
"Smoke"
Hansen. Raul pulled a crumpled cigarette out of his jacket pocket and handed it to him, just as he was about to find a lighter.
At this moment, a Guizhou baby stuck out his head on the tank,
"Sir, Uncle Tobacco Bag said that there is a team of gendarmes and a lot of foreigners, and they are talking to Xie Tuanzuo."
Foreigner...... Zhang Sixing and Hansen. Raul looked at each other, and the latter muttered impatiently,
"The British come to make trouble, they have too long hands, and I don't like them, sir...... I'll take a look. ”
At the same time, at the gate of the Sixing warehouse facing Suzhou Creek, people were arguing with the sentinels.
"It's not safe outside, Camp Commander Cao told them, let's go in first."
Two companies of gendarmes hid under stone railings on the other side of the river, and the only people who crossed the bridge to negotiate were Lieutenant Colonel Marcus, an adviser to the German officer corps, and Second Lieutenant Morrison, a British platoon commander.
"I'm sorry, but I can't pass here without the order of our regiment."
"We are British troops."
But the sentries of the 88th Division obviously didn't like the foreigners who were rampant in China.
"So what, this is China, I can't let you in without a chief."
It was at this time that Hansen, who did not like the Englishman. Raul appeared and said strangely on the side,
"Why, do the British want to cooperate with the Japanese, and have you notified the Chinese government of this behavior, this is an invasion."
Hansen. Raul weirdly shrunk his neck as the British second lieutenant said.
Indeed, without the approval of the Chinese government, this is indeed an invasion.
"Hansen, can't I bring someone here?"
As he spoke, Zhang Sixing had been worried about seeing his Lieutenant Colonel Marcus standing in the light from the shadows.
"Smack" on the heel, Hansen. Raul immediately straightened up, but his head still asked,
"Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, the officer corps is not not allowed to appear on the front, you ...... It was very unsafe here, and the Japanese could attack at any time. ”
The expression on his face turned gloomy, and Marcus gave an order with a cold face,
"Go, call Zhang Sixing."
Hansen. Raul's head was not stupid at all, and when he saw Lieutenant Colonel Marcus's face, he knew that he was looking for trouble, and he had an idea to report loudly,
"Sir, according to Wehrmacht rules, we cannot harass a single German civilian, and I refuse to carry out your orders."
In a word, Lieutenant Colonel Marcus almost choked and rolled his eyes, but Hansen. Raul's reasons are valid.
No matter how bad the German army was abroad in the future, the discipline of the German army was still very strict before the start of World War II.
The corners of his mouth moved, but Cao Zijin, who was in charge of the gendarme, did not speak.
He understood what Lieutenant Colonel Marcus and Second Lieutenant Morrison had said, they had come to catch a German thief who was running rampant in Europe. But he never understood why the Chinese military police had come forward.
This kind of thing should be the police or even the police in the public concession, and he didn't understand why he was allowed to bring the gendarme.
At this moment, Xie Jinyuan's voice suddenly came,
"Oh, why are you here, rare guest, rare guest, what kind of wind is Lieutenant Colonel Marcus blowing you here?"
As he arrived, there were people nearby who shouted,
"Salute"
Except for Lieutenant Colonel Marcus, who has a high rank, everyone else saluted, but Second Lieutenant Morrison couldn't understand Chinese and stood there stupidly without moving.
Hansen, who has always had a bad impression of the British. Raul Dao,
"Second Lieutenant, don't you know that salutes are based on rank, and it seems that many people are right to say that the British are too arrogant and uneducated. Even if you don't look at the ranks, don't you understand that they are the masters of this country, and we are guests. ”
Hearing being ridiculed in oily American language, Second Lieutenant Morrison's round face was blue and white for a while, and then he remembered to salute.
"Polite, polite, what is the name of this ensign, Mr. Hansen, please ask him."
As a Chinese Hansen who understands German, English, and Chinese. Raul, said to Morrison, who was a supplementary officer,
"Hey, British, this officer is the lieutenant colonel in charge here, and he asked you what your name is."
Morrison became nervous when he heard that it was a lieutenant colonel officer who asked him his name. Although he was a British soldier, he did not want to lose the face of the British Imperial Army.
took two steps forward, raised his leg and fell, and walked again, officer,
"Report sir, I'm a second lieutenant in the Royal 6th Infantry Brigade, and my name is Morrison."
Hear Hansen. Raul's translator, Xie Jinyuan smiled unhurriedly, with an enthusiastic look,
"Hello Second Lieutenant Morrison, I don't know what advice you have for entering our territory."
When he said this, Xie Jinyuan glanced at Han Sen with a smile. Raul.
No need to ask this is thanks to him, just for the reminder.
Yes, remind, but there are a lot of people in the concession, but this side of Suzhou Creek is not a concession, this is clear Chinese territory, so foreign countries enter ......
The weakness of the national government is well known at home and abroad, but the officers on the battlefield do not have to be taken seriously.
After all, this is a battlefield, and anything can happen.
Seeing Xie Jinyuan's appearance, Marcus "chuckled" in his heart.
He was very sure that at this moment, Xie Jinyuan was playing the "Chinese-style Taijiquan" that was ridiculed by the officer corps.
