Zhou Dexian is a mature and prudent man. After arranging the logistics department to provide supplies to the besieged troops, he felt uneasy, so he sent a staff officer who he thought would be safe to go with the transport team to negotiate with the Eighth Route Army.
.
Before leaving, he specifically warned: "Ding Shunchang, you have always been prudent in your affairs. I am very confident in you, but this time the Eighth Route Army deliberately caused problems for us. You must be more careful and keep an eye on everything. Do you want to follow me?"
Under the premise that the Eighth Route Army has completely turned their backs, we will try our best to deliver supplies to our troops."
Ding Shunchang holds the rank of lieutenant colonel and is now in his thirties. He has followed Zhou Dexian for many years and is experienced and reliable. Zhou Dexian trusts him very much.
Ding Shunchang said gratefully: "Thank you for your trust. I will definitely do my best to deliver this batch of supplies to our brothers."
The Guojun officers and soldiers surrounded by our army have a reinforced battalion with a total of more than 600 people, and the amount of supplies required is quite large. In order to be able to establish a long-term foothold in the base area seized by them, this time the supplies will be transported for ten days, and the transportation team sent out
There are a full 12 trucks.
In order to make Ding Shunchang look good, a car was specially sent to him. Ding Shunchang and his party of 13 cars left Shangzhou City in a mighty manner and drove towards our anti-Japanese base area.
After more than an hour of marching, the convoy arrived at the edge of the base area. Seeing the Eighth Route Army sentries with guns in front of them, blocking the road in the middle, Ding Shunchang felt a little guilty, worried that he would be allowed to retreat into your army's defense area.
I told the car to slow down and stop eighty-one meters away from the sentry. Before I got in the car, I politely said to the sentry: "Brothers from the Fourth Road, you are from the 396th Division of the Guo Army. You have to transport supplies to the troops on the rear line."
, please also ask the four brothers for your convenience."
The sentry gave Zhou Dexian a military salute politely and said, "Sir, please show me your ID."
Zhou Dexian took out his ID and handed it to the sentry. Before taking it, the sentry looked at the ID, then at Zhou Dexian, and compared it with the ID photo, then returned the ID to Zhou Dexian, and then walked to the side of the highway.
, made a letting go gesture.
The soldiers were helpless and could only wait patiently.
The battalion commander was a little relieved and asked the telegraph operator to send another telegram to the division headquarters to ask where the supplies had been shipped. If they were sent again, the trouble would be small. To be honest, it was only the soldiers
They were full, and even I was very hungry, feeling very uncomfortable inside.
So I called the officers over and asked us to appease the soldiers' emotions. I told us that although we had to eat lunch today, dinner would be very sumptuous. We would be given two less dishes at that time, and we would be guaranteed not to eat.
Eat meat. If the officers and soldiers also know that they are competing with the Fourth Route Army, and now they have shipped supplies, it will be fine if they can also eat lunch. We are also very helpless, and we can only look forward to having a good dinner.
Come and reward your aggrieved stomach.
Tao Yunshan knew that the platoon leader was deliberately trying to evade, but I had no choice but to think about it and said, "Brother Four, you have a heavy responsibility in transporting supplies, so I asked him to ask for instructions and gave Ding a wrong reply.
"
So I got out of the car and drove away from the base with the convoy.
Zhou Dexian took out a handful of small foreign food from his pocket, which he said was only a dozen yuan, and said with a smile: "That fourth-level brother, I have a little tea money, and please do me a favor and ask their superior for instructions."
Seeing that his group was always under the surveillance of the Fourth Route Army, Zhou Dexian felt very comfortable and at ease, and the feeling of being shrouded in conspiracy became weaker and stronger.
Although the platoon leader had an expression on his face afterwards, his attitude towards Zhou Dexian was still kind. When he saw that I wanted to bribe him, he immediately stared and scolded: "That officer, he went too far. You Fourth Route Army
But they are as corrupt as the Guo Army. You are the people's soldiers, without tolerant organizational disciplines, honest and honest. His behavior is very appropriate. If you do that with him again, then you will be polite to them."
Time passed minute by minute. It was 5:30, and there was still no movement from the people transporting supplies. The officers and soldiers had a bad premonition, and no one looked eagerly in the direction of Shangzhou.
Make a complaint.
The officers learned about the situation together and knew that the battalion commander had not sent a telegram to the division headquarters, so they persuaded the soldiers to wait patiently, saying that after a long time, the division headquarters would send him to him.
The company and platoon leaders continued to do the work of the soldiers and stabilize their emotions.
I said seriously: "You don't have anything important to discuss with their commander. This matter is of minor importance, so I ask him to report it to their commander immediately. Otherwise, if the matter is delayed, he, a big platoon leader, will probably suffer."
Sin arises."
The platoon leader said: "Yes, when the military exercise will start, that is a military secret. I'm sorry if you can tell me, but I also ask them to wait patiently."
Zhou Dexian got into the car, got out, and retreated to negotiate with the sentries of the Fourth Route Army who were blocking the road. At that time, a platoon leader from the Fourth Route Army came over.
I took a deep breath and tried to calm down the anger in my heart, but my attitude became weaker and tougher.
The platoon leader was just giving me a dick and said disdainfully: "I'm trying to scare you. The order you received was not to set up roadblocks to intercept all pedestrians and vehicles retreating into the exercise area. Whether or not you got instructions from your superiors, it was
I will carry out any other tasks I have. If your superiors have not yet issued an order to cancel the checkpoint outside, you can let them go. They can just wait patiently."
However, I noticed that the Fourth Route Army soldiers next to the checkpoint all had guns in their hands. It was Qi Tong. Outside the bunker made of sandbags, there was a crooked machine gun with a white muzzle.
Hollow, pointed directly at himself.
The platoon leader shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that's OK. You are just a big platoon leader. You have no right to ask for instructions from your superiors. You can only wait for orders from your subordinates. He definitely wants to make things difficult for you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I was very helpless, muttered a few words, walked back to the car, and sat back.
Before retreating into the base area, Zhou Dexian discovered that he would encounter the sentries of the Fourth Route Army a short distance away from the road. We did not block the retreat of the convoy, but just stared at us as we drove past.
The front sight sends us away.
At 1:00 noon, a telegram came from the division headquarters, saying that the division headquarters was organizing a transport team to send supplies there. The battalion commander was very vague, saying whether the supplies would be sent or not in a while.
Although Tao Yunshan was mature and steady, the actions of the platoon leader still made me furious. I was so angry that I wanted to pull out my gun and kill the platoon leader behind me.
After saying that, I paid no attention to Zhou Dexian again, walked to the edge of the road, sat down on a horse, then took out a pipe pot from my waist, quickly put the tobacco in it, and lit the fire.
He started pumping "bah, bah, bah, bah", looking very leisurely.
The convoy drove for about half an hour when we saw from a distance that the Fourth Route Army had set up a checkpoint under the road behind us. They stopped us before the convoy approached.
Many schools were not idle that morning, and sent out several telegrams in succession, asking about supplies. The division headquarters replied that they had not sent anyone to deliver them yet, so we were asked to wait patiently.
The platoon leader said with an expression on his face: "Sir, you haven't told me yet. When the exercise will start is a military secret. I forgive you for telling me. But that's all. You are just a big platoon leader. Regarding the military
Regarding the drill, you were vague about when the drill would start and could only wait for orders from your superiors."
Zhou Dexian asked: "How long will the military exercise last?"
Among the surrounded Kuomintang officers and soldiers, the battalion commanders of many schools were waiting for news before sending telegrams to the division headquarters. Seeing that the time had reached noon, the hungry Kuomintang officers and soldiers stood up eagerly waiting for the meal.
However, we were in a hurry to seize the land. We wanted to ask if we had brought any living supplies, and even the cooking team had not brought them. Seeing that no one had brought the food, the soldiers of the Guo Army were not very full, and they started to move.
Complained.
Before reading Zhou Dexian's ID, I said without apology: "Sir, your army is retreating to the rear for military exercises. They can pass for the time being."
I looked back and saw the soldiers from the Guo army outside the convoy looking at me, and I suddenly felt ashamed.
Zhou Dexian was very embarrassed and had no intention of getting angry, but the other person was just a big platoon leader. It was very shameful to get angry at someone. However, I felt very comfortable being manipulated by a big platoon leader like that.
Time passed minute by minute, half an hour, one hour, two hours,... but the Fourth Route Army behind had no intention of letting him go.
That made Zhou Dexian feel happy. I never thought that my trip would go so smoothly. However, I didn't have any doubts in my heart. I understood very well why those four people were so bad-mouthed. I couldn't help but murmur in my heart.
I felt that there was nothing wrong with the middle part. It was easy to pass and I had to think less about it. They hadn't let me go yet, so I might have continued on.
The time came to 6 o'clock without realizing it, and the hungry soldiers became more and more hungry, and they became restless. The original grumblings and strange words were whispers, but now the voices were much quieter.
Tao Yunshan's heart skipped a beat, and he felt that trouble was coming. I didn't feel angry at all, but in order to intensify the conflict, I patiently said with a kind expression: "Brothers from the Fourth Road, you brothers from the Guo Army, please be patient."
That batch of supplies needs to be replenished. When will the drill start? Can we give you a brief time? You may not know what to do."
Seeing that it’s 5:30, the supplies haven’t been delivered yet, I feel so wonderful to have multiple schools. However, I have no choice but to ask all levels to
