Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Second Straight Talk
The Liantai Militia Group is stationed in a small town called Qiufeng, more than 20 miles away from Zhuanbi Village. However, the small town simply cannot accommodate so many troops. In the end, they had to let the Guard Battalion and the First Battalion go first.
, the second battalion, the medical brigade and the supply battalion settled in the town, and the third, fourth, and fifth battalions, the air defense battalion, the automobile battalion, and the armored battalion were stationed around it.
Old people say that if you have more than 10,000 soldiers, you will have no borders. Although the number of the Liantai Militia Group is not that large, they have a lot of equipment and supplies. One group covers dozens of miles of land, and the appearance alone looks quite scary.
As for why he wasn't stationed directly around Zhuanbi Village, please... Gao Hongming isn't that stupid yet.
Where is Zhuanbi Village? It is the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army. The surrounding area must be heavily guarded. For an outside force to settle down more than 20 miles away from the headquarters is already a sign of respect. It is impossible for me to allow others to do so.
Troops are stationed in front of your home, no matter how close the relationship between the other party and yourself is.
The people in Qiufeng Town were also frightened at first by the soldiers who poured into the town like a tide. Many shops were closed one after another, and the people went home one after another. What they were afraid of was that these soldiers would go wild and they, the ordinary people, could
It was a disaster.
But then they discovered that these officers and soldiers, who were wearing different uniforms from the Central Army, Shanxi-Sui Army and even the Japanese Army that they were used to, were kind-hearted. Even when buying things, they paid for it in a proper manner and used the money.
It's not legal tender, but the buzzing silver dollar. This is hard currency.
Furthermore, the accents of these soldiers sounded like outsiders. Most of them were from Shanxi. The worries of the people and merchants were all gone. In addition, these soldiers were generous when buying things and never cared about it. The merchants were as happy as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Usually, doors that were originally closed are reopened.
When Gao Hongming came back, he saw soldiers in twos and threes shopping on the street. Gao Hongming did not prohibit this. The soldiers naturally had the need to shop when they had money. It was a normal behavior when buying things.
Moreover, this place is still far away from the front line, so there is no need to be so nervous. It doesn't matter if the soldiers who have been traveling for many days can relax.
Before Gao Hongming came back, people from the logistics office had rented a yard as his temporary residence. When he returned to the yard, he happened to see a slim figure in an apron busy in the kitchen.
He quietly walked over and patted the figure's perky buttocks, "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Hey..."
Xie Wenqian, who was patted on her sensitive area, turned her head in fright. When she saw Gao Hongming, she was so angry that she patted him on the arm several times, "Why are you so annoying? I was so scared that I almost spilled the food."
Gao Hongming quickly yelled: "I didn't want to scare you. We are an old married couple, why are you reacting like this?"
"You and I are an old married couple." Xie Wenqian gave him a sideways look. This guy was too thick-skinned, otherwise she wouldn't have agreed to be his concubine even though she knew he had a wife. What a sin.
Of course Gao Hongming didn't know that in just a short moment, so many things flashed through his wife's mind, but he was also a discerning man. When he saw that his wife's expression was wrong, he quickly found an excuse and ran away. He must not
Before eating, let your wife take it out on herself.
As for after eating, that's another matter. At that time, as long as you use the Gao family's marksmanship that you have practiced for many years, there will be no problem that cannot be solved.
Facing Gao Hongming, who has a skin as thick as a city wall, Xie Wenqian has long understood that if she is serious, she will lose, and the best way is to ignore him. Naturally, there is nothing this guy can do.
Sure enough, seeing that his wife didn't curse anymore, Gao Hongming could only go back to the house and wait for dinner.
Although Xie Wenqian is a medical student and looks a bit cold, she has good cooking skills. Even Qin Xiulian is ashamed of this. Gao Hongming only learned about it after getting married.
Soon, with waves of aroma wafting over, the four dishes and one soup were ready. Xie Wenqian took off her apron and put it aside, and the two began to eat.
Xie Wenqian's cooking skills are not outstanding. Although it is just an ordinary home-cooked dish bought in a small town, Gao Hongming tastes it particularly delicious.
Halfway through a bowl of rice, Gao Hongming asked: "Daughter-in-law, is your medical team still short of manpower?"
Xie Wenqian shook her head, "Our medical brigade has never had enough manpower. Even though our medical brigade now has more than ten doctors and more than fifty nurses, plus the nursing staff, there are more than a hundred people.
Compared to such a large militia, our number of people is still far from enough.
Take the last battle of Qixiaguan as an example. Do you know how busy our medical team was in those days? It can be said that from the day the war started, I never slept for six hours on any day. There was a steady stream of sleep.
The wounded were sent off the battlefield in disobedience. Our few manpower was so busy that some nurses even fainted from overwork.
Fortunately, we have enough medical supplies, whether it is hemostatic powder, plasma protein powder, sulfonamide powder, penicillin, bandages, disinfectant alcohol, all are available as needed.
Sometimes I really wonder if you are a god and why you can get so many in-demand items."
Looking at his wife's longing and curious eyes, Gao Hongming felt secretly happy but also a little frightened. He quickly said, "Because I can do magic. If I weren't so good, you wouldn't marry me."
Give it to me, wife, don’t you think so?”
"Death phase!" Xie Wenqian chuckled, glanced at him, and stopped asking the question.
Gao Hongming quickly cleaned the remaining rice and patted his belly: "Okay, wife, I'm full, how about you."
"I'm fine too."
"Then you clean up quickly and let's take a rest early."
"good!"
Just when Xie Wenqian stood up and was about to clear away the dishes, a guard came to report, and there were several Eighth Route Army officers outside asking to see her.
Gao Hongming was slightly startled. He had just returned from the Eighth Route Army headquarters, so why did someone come to see him again?
He asked: "Did you ask who they were?"
"They claim to be Li Yunlong of the Independent Regiment."
"Li Yunlong...why is he here?"
Gao Hongming was secretly surprised and hurried out to greet him.
As soon as he walked to the door, he saw several people looking at him with smiles under the light of the door. The leader was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses. Among the four people standing next to him, he knew a few of them.
It's Li Yunlong, Kong Jie and Zhao Gang.
Seeing Li Yunlong's arrival, Gao Hongming laughed and greeted him, "Brother Li, Commander Kong, and Political Commissar Zhao, which gust of wind brought you here?"
Li Yunlong smiled so hard that his face wrinkled, and he strode towards him and gave him a bear hug: "Hahaha... Brother Gao, it's been a long time no see, brother, I miss you so much.
"
Seeing the arrival of Li Yunlong and others, Gao Hongming also smiled. They were all comrades who had fought in the same trench. Although they were separated for a short time, they were extremely happy to meet again.
"Come on... Brother Gao, let me introduce you. This is the commander of our 386th Brigade. This is my old comrade, Ding Wei, the commander of the new regiment."
Gao Hongming was shocked. No wonder this man looked so familiar. He was also a big shot, the founding general of the country in the future. And this Ding Wei was not simple either. Maybe he was not as brave as Li Yunlong in fighting, but if
In terms of strategic vision and ability to be prepared for danger in times of peace, even Li Yunlong and Kong Jie cannot compare to him.
Gao Hongming clearly remembered that after "Bright Sword", Ding Wei's graduation thesis was "On the Key Points of my country's Homeland Defense".
In this paper, Ding Wei pointedly pointed out that after the Korean War ended, China's biggest threat had changed from the United States to the Soviet Union, so the focus of national defense must also change in time.
It can be said that this insight is unique to Scorpion among so many graduation thesis, and history has also proved how unique and accurate his vision is.
He previously extended his hand and said with a smile: "Captain Ding, I have long admired your name. I have heard Old Li and the commander mention you a long time ago. When I saw you today, you are indeed worthy of being called the Iron Triangle of Northwestern Shanxi. Everyone is an outstanding person."
"
Ding Wei also smiled and held his hand: "I have admired Captain Gao for a long time. I have always heard Lao Li mention you, but I have never met you. It is a blessing to meet you today."
After the two shook hands, Gao Hongming's expression became serious and he solemnly saluted Brigadier Chen: "Gao Hongming, leader of the Liantai County Militia League, has met Brigadier Chen. Hello, sir!"
"Hello, Captain Gao!"
Brigadier Chen returned the salute and said with a smile: "I have heard Li Yunlong and Kong Jie mention you for a long time. In the past six months since I have known you, you have sent a lot of good things to our Eighth Route Army.
Gas masks have saved the lives of countless Eighth Route Army soldiers. On behalf of the more than 10,000 soldiers of the 386 Brigade, I would like to thank you."
"Thank you, sir." Gao Hongming shook his head, "We are all Chinese. At the time when the Japanese invaders are invading our country, we should naturally join hands to resist foreign humiliation. A few supplies are nothing, it is worth your while
Come and say thank you in person."
"It's not... it's worth our coming." Brigadier Chen said seriously, "Our Eighth Route Army has always treated our friends sincerely. You don't have to care, but we can't pretend not to know.
In addition to thanking you, I came here today specifically to make friends with you, and I hope you won’t dislike me as a poor guy.”
Seeing Brigadier Chen's boldness and humor, Gao Hongming was secretly moved in his heart. There is no simple person who can leave a name in history. Brigadier Chen is first-class in both his conduct and his treatment of others.
He quickly waved his hand and made an invitation gesture, "In that case, please invite sir and a few of you... By the way... It looks like some of you haven't eaten yet. I'll ask my wife to cook some dishes quickly."
, let’s eat something together.”
"Then we're not welcome. To be honest, we haven't eaten yet."
While talking, the group came to the inner courtyard, and Gao Hongming also introduced Xie Wenqian to the group.
"Everyone, this is my wife Xie Wenqian, she is also the captain of our Liantai Militia Medical Brigade Xie Wenqian, this is Brigadier Chen of the 386th Brigade, this is Li Yunlong, the leader of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, political commissar Zhao Gang, this is Xinyi
The leader of the regiment..."
"Hello, Chief Chen, hello Commander Li, hello Political Commissar Zhao..."
At this time, Xie Wenqian had already changed into military uniform, wearing a boat-shaped cap on her head, and carrying silver twisted silk epaulettes representing the rank of major on her shoulders. When she saw Brigadier Chen and his party, she took the lead in giving everyone a military salute.
Seeing this, he quickly returned the gift.
Seeing the heroic and beautiful Xie Wenqian, Brigadier Chen couldn't help but praise: "Mrs. Gao is really a woman, she is in charge of a medical brigade at such a young age, treating illnesses and saving lives, it is really admirable."
"Thank you, sir." Faced with Chief Chen's compliment, Xie Wenqian just pursed her lips and smiled.
Zhao Gang asked curiously: "Mrs. Gao, I have heard that you are not only superb in art, but also established the medical brigade on your own, which shows your ability. May I venture to ask, you
Which school did you graduate from?"
Xie Wenqian smiled slightly: "I graduated from the Medical School of Heidelberg University in Germany. After graduation, I worked as an intern for two years before returning to Liantai County. I originally just opened a small clinic to treat diseases and save people, but I never thought that I would end up in the Gao family's thief ship.
Already."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone burst out laughing, and Li Yunlong even laughed so hard.
Gao Hongming didn't take it too seriously. They were all his own people anyway, and he wouldn't lose a piece of meat if she laughed at him.
Fortunately, Xie Wenqian only ordered until everyone finished laughing. She said, "I just heard what you were talking about. You haven't eaten yet. I'll go over and cook some dishes for you. You drink tea first. Soon
That’s good!”
After saying that, Xie Wenqian said goodbye to everyone and walked towards the kitchen...
After Xie Wenqian left, everyone went to the room in the backyard and sat down.
Gao Hongming personally made a cup of coffee for everyone. Li Yunlong took the coffee and took a sip, "Brother Gao, don't tell me, when you first gave me the coffee, I couldn't drink it at all. I didn't think it was bitter.
, why do so many people like to drink it?
But after drinking it for a long time, I felt that this stuff is really fragrant and refreshing. Over time, I actually fell in love with it. But now that I drink it, it is out of stock. You can get it when I leave.
Get me some more."
"No problem." Gao Hongming agreed without hesitation. The coffee was only worth a few dollars.
While Gao Hongming and Li Yunlong were talking, Brigadier Chen and Ding Wei were also secretly observing. They saw that Gao Hongming did not behave like a playboy at all. Instead, he behaved generously and amiably. They also nodded secretly in their hearts. Li Yunlong
Being able to make friends with him is indeed no accident, and his personality is also a big reason.
After chatting for a few more words, Gao Hongming said to Brigadier Chen: "Sir, Brother Li, Commander Kong, and Political Commissar Zhao and I are all old acquaintances. The first phase of the Hundred Regiment War initiated by your army has ended.
Can any of you tell me the cause and course of this war?"
