Faced with Brigadier Chen's invitation, Lu Fangyuan did not refuse and took two officers, Brigadier Chen and others to the 386 Brigade Headquarters.
After arriving at the headquarters, Brigadier Chen personally poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. He said with a smile: "Batalion Commander Lu, our Eighth Route Army are all poor. We don't have anything good to entertain you. I can only treat you to boiled water."
Please don’t be offended.”
Lu Fangyuan took the rough porcelain teapot with both hands, took a sip of water and said seriously: "Sir, you are serious. I heard our regiment leader say before that although your army is poor, it is currently the most dynamic force in China.
The most combat-effective team, the one who will be the leader of China in the future must be your army."
"Um……"
As soon as Lu Fangyuan said these words, everyone around him was stunned. You must know that these words are already a very high praise, and they actually came from the mouth of a local vigilante group leader.
Brigadier Chen and Political Commissar Wang looked at each other, and Political Commissar Wang smiled and asked: "Commander Lu, are you exaggerating? Our Eighth Route Army cannot afford such high praise."
"Never go overboard."
Lu Fangyuan said sternly: "Both officers, please don't think that I am trying to flatter you just because I came to your army. This is what our regiment said, and our regiment also admires your army very much."
He did what he did, otherwise he would not have supported your army again and again."
These words are in line with the truth. Brigadier Chen and others nodded slowly. Today's Eighth Route Army is very poor and has nothing. If a young man like Gao Hongming, who comes from a big landowner class, is not sincere, there is really no need to flatter him.
Political Commissar Wang asked angrily: "From your tone, Commander Gao knows our army quite well."
Lu Fangyuan shook his head, "This department doesn't know. If the commander wants to know, just ask him personally when he meets our group in the future."
After finishing speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued: "Sir Chen, our regiment has said that this time we fought with the Japanese 41st Division at Qixia Pass and suffered relatively heavy losses. Now our regiment is withdrawing."
The lotus platform is resting, so I can't bring you too many supplies this time. Our team will come over in person next time to make up for it. I hope you don't blame me, sirs."
When Commander Lu said this, even a person like Li Yunlong, who regards wealth as his life, felt a little embarrassed.
For example, Li Yunlong and Kong Jie went to Qixia Pass, but they just helped fight in the battle, and brought back a lot of things in large and small bags. Not only did they not say anything, but they still remembered the Eighth Route Army, even though
He had just fought a tough battle with the Japanese army and suffered heavy losses, but he still sent people to deliver supplies to them. What kind of style was this?
Brigadier Chen was moved and held Lu Fangyuan's hand, and said emotionally: "Battle Commander Lu, please tell your regiment commander that our Eighth Route Army will never forget his friendship to our Eighth Route Army, and we welcome him at any time."
We are guests, and I, Chen*, will step aside to welcome you."
"Thank you, sir. I will definitely convey your words to our group."
Lu Fangyuan laughed, then seemed to remember something, and said: "Sir Chen, before we came here, our group asked me to bring you some gifts, saying that I would hand them to you personally."
Brigadier Chen laughed and asked curiously: "Oh... I would like to know what Commander Gao gave me."
Lu Fangyuan winked at the two officers beside him, and the two officers went out. Soon the two officers came in carrying a heavy wooden box and placed it on the ground.
Lu Fangyuan pointed at the wooden box on the ground and smiled: "Our group heard that you like to smoke and you are quite addicted to cigarettes, so we specially asked me to bring you thirty cartons of American cigarettes, thirty cans of coffee and three
Ten pounds of brown sugar.”
"Hey, thank you so much, Commander Gao. This is a timely help for us." Brigadier Chen and Political Commissar Wang looked at each other, and both looked a little moved.
The cigarettes and coffee are just that, but the brown sugar is really good.
Although brown sugar only cost a few dollars per pound in later generations and could be seen everywhere, it seemed inconspicuous at all, but in this era of scarce materials, it is an out-and-out tonic.
It not only benefits the spleen and slows the liver, nourishes blood, removes congestion and detoxifies, but also has great nutritional value. For most mothers in this era, drinking a bowl of brown sugar water during confinement is a very happy thing.
.
What...diabetes?
Sorry, this disease has no room to survive in this era.
In troubled times, the Eighth Route Army often had to fight against Japanese invaders, so naturally there were inevitably wounded soldiers. Coupled with the weak people, the effect of these dozens of kilograms of brown sugar would be too great.
Brigadier Chen held Lu Fangyuan's hand and remained silent for a long time. This was a huge favor.
At this time, a staff officer came in and reported that the inventory of supplies had been completed and was consistent with the data in the inventory, and asked Brigadier Chen to sign.
Brigadier Chen signed the list and handed it to Lu Fangyuan, "Battle Commander Lu, when you go back, you must thank Captain Gao for me. Please tell him that the next time he comes, I, Chen*, will do it myself."
Treat him to nothing but wild game!”
"Sir, I will definitely convey your good intentions to the group." Lu Fangyuan saluted, "Sir, the matter has been completed and the staff department has to go back... Farewell!"
Brigadier Chen did not try to persuade him to stay and sent Lu Fangyuan to the roadside before returning.
But when he returned to the headquarters, he found that it was still crowded with people.
He couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you still here? Have you got nothing to do, or do you want to stay for lunch?"
Being scolded by Brigadier Chen, all the regiment leaders were a little embarrassed. Li Yunlong was the first to come over and said with a smile: "Brigade Commander... Brother Gao has sent you so many good things this time, can you share them with me?"
a little?"
Brigadier Chen looked at him funny, "Li Yunlong, what do you want?"
Li Yunlong chuckled and said: "Brigadier, I don't dare to ask for anything else. Can you give me some of those cigarettes? I've been out of business for several days."
"How many do you want?" Brigadier Chen looked at him with a half-smile, "Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, I didn't expect your face to be quite big. Aren't you and Captain Gao good friends and brothers? Just ask if you need anything.
If he wants it, why does he come to me to beat the autumn wind?"
Li Yunlong scratched his head: "Brigadier, although I have a good relationship with Brother Gao, I can't always open my mouth to him. Aren't I embarrassed?"
Brigadier Chen was infuriated by this guy's shamelessness, "Li Yunlong, Li Yunlong, you are too embarrassed to open your mouth to Commander Gao, but you have the nerve to ask for it from me? I tell you, no way... this belongs to me and the political commissar!"
"
Li Yunlong was a little anxious, "Commander, you want to eat alone. Isn't this too kind?"
Brigadier Chen and Political Commissar Wang laughed and looked at each other. They had a tacit understanding after working together for many years.
Political Commissar Wang smiled and said: "Well, let me make the decision... Of the thirty kilograms of brown sugar here, we will keep five kilograms at the brigade headquarters to replenish the bodies of injured soldiers and mothers, and the remaining twenty-five kilograms will be sent to the division headquarters.
If you take away five kilograms, the headquarters will send you twenty kilograms.
As for these coffee and cigarettes, the brigade commander and I left ten cartons of cigarettes and five cans of coffee. The division headquarters sent ten cartons of cigarettes and five cans of coffee. The remaining ten cartons of cigarettes and twenty cans of coffee were all sent to the headquarters. What do you think?
Sample?"
After hearing the political commissar's distribution plan, everyone nodded in approval. Only Li Yunlong whispered, "Brother Gao, how come you only care about sending things to the brigade commander, but forget about me?"
Zhao Gang listened attentively and quickly poked his waist with his hand, "Old Li, don't talk nonsense in front of the chief."
"Well……"
After being reminded by Zhao Gang, Li Yunlong realized that if such complaints reached Gao Hongming, it would inevitably give people the impression of being greedy, which would not be good.
Soon, 2,000 rifles, 400,000 rounds of ammunition and 50,000 gas masks were delivered to the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters.
After research, the head of the Eighth Route Army headquarters decided to distribute all 50,000 helmets to various participating troops. Each of the 115 and 120 divisions received 15,000 helmets and 200,000 rounds of ammunition, leaving 20,000 gas masks.
Two thousand rifles and two hundred thousand rounds of ammunition were allocated to the 129th Division.
Regarding this distribution result, some people initially said that the head of the headquarters was not able to fill a bowl of water evenly. After the deputy commander learned about it, he said on the spot that if anyone could get so many supplies, he would also give special attention to them.
As soon as he said this, all the noise immediately disappeared without a trace.
However, after this incident, the name Gao Hongming also registered in the hearts of many commanders of the Eighth Route Army. Many people knew that there was such a generous and generous leader.
At this time, the much-talked-about Captain Gao had returned to Liantai County and was preparing for the wedding.
As the saying goes, a break is better than a new marriage. When Gao Hongming returned home, he saw Qin Xiulian. The two couples had not seen each other for more than half a month, so naturally they had endless love stories. After learning that his man had eaten Xie Wenqian's piglet, his mouth
Although I didn't say it, I would be lying if I said in my heart that I wasn't jealous.
In the following days, our tall regimental commander had to be busy with the army during the day, and had to work overtime at night.
Qin Xiulian not only went into battle herself, but also brought her dowry maid Ziying with her.
Under the joint attack of the two masters and servants, Captain Gao was in pain and happiness. For several days in a row, our tall captain could not walk without a trace.
However, Qin Xiulian is also a smart person. She knows that going too far is not equal. Seeing that she has taught her men a lesson, she stopped this extreme squeeze. This made Gao Hongming breathe a sigh of relief. If he continued like this for ten and a half days,
months, he would have to consider moving to the regiment headquarters again.
On August 28, Gao Hongming officially married Xie Wenqian and carried her into the gate of the Gao family's old house. From today on, Xie Wenqian officially became Gao Hongming's second concubine.
That night, after sending away the guests who came to congratulate him, Gao Hongming, who was already sixty or seventy percent drunk, came to Xie Wenqian's new house. He lifted the red cloth on Xie Wenqian's head, revealing a pretty face that was both happy and angry.
A pair of big eyes.
Gao Hongming smiled, sat down next to Xie Wenqian, hugged her, kissed her hard on her pretty face and made a "bah" sound, and said with great satisfaction: "Daughter-in-law, you are finally mine."
People."
Xie Wenqian snorted softly and raised her snow-white neck proudly, "That's not necessarily the case. If you don't treat me well, I can go back to my parents' home at any time."
"you dare!"
Gao Hongming was not happy when he heard this. This woman wanted to go back to her parents' house as soon as she entered the house. This was the rhythm of rebellion.
In order to cheer up his husband, Gao Hongming threw him on the bed without saying a word. Accompanied by coquettish laughter and slapstick, a fierce battle began.
To say that our Captain Gao is not a vegetarian, especially after being tempered by Qin Xiulian's master and servant these days, his combat effectiveness has skyrocketed. Our Dr. Xie is no match at all. He quickly raised the white flag and surrendered. Only then did Gao Hongming
The proud Ming Jin withdrew his troops, hugged his wife and whispered.
Xie Wenqian put her pretty face against her husband's chest, listened to the strong and steady heartbeat and asked: "Hong Ming, are you going to lead the militia to assist the Eighth Route Army in fighting in a few days?"
"Yes."
Gao Hongming didn't hide anything from this person on his pillow either.
"The Eighth Route Army is now launching a large-scale counterattack against the Japanese army. However, although they have a strong will, their equipment is really poor. They lack weapons and ammunition, food, doctors and medicines. It can be said that they lack almost everything except people.
So I went over this time and planned to help them."
Xie Wenqian hesitated and asked: "Hong Ming, do you think so highly of them that it's worth your efforts to help them?"
"Of course it's worth it."
Gao Hongming nodded: "I'm sure that as long as the Japanese are defeated, they will definitely be the ones who dominate the world in the future. If I don't help them, who will I help?"
"Okay, now that you have decided, I won't say anything, but you must be careful when you go to the battlefield. Bullets don't have eyes, so you have to be more careful. And don't leave me behind when you go.
Going."
"What...you want to go too?"
Gao Hongming asked in surprise.
Xie Wenqian rolled her eyes at him: "Why...are you like those people who are too stupid to study? Do you think that after marriage, a woman should stay at home to support her husband and raise children, and never leave the house without leaving the door?"
"That's not true. I didn't think so."
Gao Hongming didn't dare to wear this hat of discriminating against women. He shook his head like a rattle and thought for a while before speaking.
"Since you want to go, then go, but you have to be careful in the medical brigade. After all, the little devils are very sneaky. They will even disguise themselves as the Eighth Route Army and go deep into our rear areas to destroy places such as hospitals and arsenals.
They are all their first choice targets.”
Having said this, Gao Hongming thought of Yamamoto Kazuki's special agent team and couldn't help but feel a headache. This Yamamoto Kazuki was a big trouble. It would be great if he could find a way to eliminate him and his special agent team.
