After dinner, it became dark. The brothers, led by their respective class platoon leaders, left the camped school in twos and threes and wandered towards the brightly lit town.
Liu Yidao also followed Yang Ling's instructions and hired two carriages to pull boxes of seized 38 rifles covered with raincloths to sell on the nearby black market.
Generally speaking, these 38-type rifles are easy to use and have high shooting accuracy. They are all good guns, but after all, they are the guns of the Japanese, and the caliber of bullets used is different from that of Yang Ling and others.
Although the gun is a good gun, the logistics of the Chinese Communist Party cannot supply bullets for the 38-type rifle. A good gun without bullets is no different from a fire stick, so it can only be sold.
Anyway, these guns were captured on the battlefield. If they are sold, they can be used to improve food for the brothers or buy daily necessities, which can be considered as a good use.
The brothers were all busy, some were going out for a stroll, and some were wrapped in ragged military blankets and starting to rest. After all, they had just come off the battlefield and were very tired.
After arranging the sentry posts, Yang Ling returned to his house and took out a map to look at tomorrow's marching route. The heavy rain made the roads muddy, and many places were even washed away by the swollen rivers, making it impossible to pass through, so everything had to be prepared and prepared in advance.
When you were not a leader, you didn't know how expensive Chai Mi was. Now that you are the leader of a regiment, you have to take care of the food, drink, and toilets of so many brothers under your command. Being a regiment leader is not as easy as imagined.
"Come on, my sister-in-law is here!" Just as Yang Ling was lying under the oil lamp looking at the map, Hu Zi rushed in excitedly to report.
Yang Ling was also stunned and didn't react. His eyes moved to the door. When he saw Zhang Hongying at the door, he came back to his senses.
"Hongying, are you here like this?"
Yang Ling hurriedly dropped the map in his hand and saw Zhang Hongying covered in mud and water. He welcomed her into the house and sat down, asking with surprise on his face.
"You can be here, why can't I be here?" Zhang Hongying stared at Yang Ling and asked with her big bright eyes.
When Yang Ling saw Zhang Hongying who was a little angry, she didn't say anything. He knew why she was angry, so he turned to Hu Zi and ordered: "Go to the cooking class to get your sister-in-law some food."
"Okay!" Huzi turned around and left.
When Huzi went out, Zhang Hongying blushed and said coquettishly: "Humph, I didn't say I wanted to marry a bad guy like you."
"Since you won't marry me, then I will marry you reluctantly." Seeing Zhang Hongying here, Yang Ling felt inexplicably better and joked.
"Glib tongue——" Zhang Hongying was also stunned, and then started laughing and scolding, and the atmosphere in the room became cheerful.
Zhang Hongying walked up to Yang Ling, looked at Yang Ling's arm hanging around her neck, and said distressedly: "Why don't you go to the hospital if you are injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, it doesn't matter." Yang Ling pretended to be relaxed and said.
"You know how to lie to me. I heard a wounded soldier from your regiment say in the hospital a few days ago that you were shot, but you never came to the hospital. You know how worried I have been these past few days, I'm afraid...
....”
As Zhang Hongying spoke, she hugged her and burst into tears, leaving Yang Ling at a loss for a moment and filled with emotion.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine." Yang Ling didn't expect such a big reaction from Zhang Hongying, so she hurriedly spoke to comfort her.
"Every time you go to the battlefield, I am always on tenterhooks. I am afraid that if something happens to you, what will I do? Promise me not to rush forward like that in the future, okay? You have to think about me too." Zhang Hongying
He looked at Yang Ling with tears in his eyes and begged.
Looking at Zhang Hongying's crying face, Yang Ling stretched out his hand to wipe her tears and solemnly promised: "I promise you, I won't rush so forward in the future."
"You swear." Zhang Hongying refused.
"Okay, I swear that I will never marry anyone other than Zhang Hongying in this life..."
"You bastard." Zhang Hongying laughed through her tears, stretched out her fist and punched Yang Ling's chest.
"Ouch, ouch it hurts..."
After the fight, Zhang Hongying wiped away her tears, but her eyes were still red. She saw that Yang Ling was indeed fine, and she finally felt relieved.
"Why didn't you take the train to Changsha?" Yang Ling asked curiously.
"There were too many wounded, and some were transported back in cars, so I followed the convoy and camped here tonight. I just saw people from your group wandering around the town, so I came over after asking about them."
Seeing Zhang Hongying thinking about him all the time, Yang Ling felt warm in her heart, and felt that the chill brought by the autumn rain outside had dissipated a lot.
Huzi also quickly brought over two roasted sweet potatoes from the cooking class. The two of them ate and talked, enjoying the rare alone time in these war-torn years.
"Tuan, Tuanzuo, it's not good——"
Just as Yang Ling and Zhang Hongying were talking intimately in the room, the wooden door was knocked open with a bang, and a brother covered in mud rushed in shouting, but he couldn't stop and fell to the ground.
Seeing the embarrassed brother, Yang Ling recognized Liu Changsheng, who almost beat up the cigarette vendor, and immediately stood up and stepped forward to help him up.
"What's going on? Tell me slowly." Seeing Liu Changsheng's panic, Yang Ling was also frightened and felt that something had happened.
Only then did Liu Changsheng have time to take a breath: "Tuan, Tuan, our battalion commander has been detained."
Liu Yidao was detained? Yang Ling frowned, did someone want to swallow their batch of guns? How brave!
When Yang Ling heard that Liu Yidao had been detained, although Yang Ling was very worried about their safety, his face remained calm and did not change at all.
"Do you know who the other party is?" Yang Ling suppressed the anger in his heart and continued to ask.
"I don't know who they were. They said they wanted to buy a gun, but the money was in the village, so we walked over with the gun drawn. The battalion commander asked me to stay far behind to prevent any accidents. Unexpectedly, the battalion commander and the others had just passed a forest.
, a large group of people emerged from the woods and captured the battalion commander and others with guns." Liu Changsheng spoke very quickly, but Yang Ling still heard the whole story.
It seems that my guess is correct. There are people who really dare to disturb Tai Sui. They even dare to intercept the guns sold by the army.
However, Liu Yidao often interacts with people in the black market, and he knows that there are monsters and monsters, so he keeps a cautious eye and usually leaves a brother in the dark to report back in case of any unexpected events. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy today.
.
"Can you see how many people there are on the other side?"
"There are at least a hundred people, and they have guns in their hands!"
It seems that he is either a bandit or a gangster. Since the business is not done and his brother is detained, Yang Ling has no reason to be polite.
"Huzi!" Yang Ling shouted towards the door.
"Yes!" Huzi hurried in.
Yang Ling ordered with a murderous look on his face: "Assemble the first battalion! Call Deputy Battalion Commander Qin over. I have something to explain."
"Yes!" Huzi turned around quickly.
Zhang Hongying saw Yang Ling turning around to get the armed belt. She walked up to Yang Ling with a worried look on her face and said, "Will Battalion Commander Liu and the others be okay?"
Yang Ling squeezed out a smile and comforted him: "It's okay, they're just a bunch of stupid thieves who just want to rob the gun. They don't dare to kill anyone."
Zhang Hongying helped Yang Ling put on the armed belt and took the military boots over, still looking worried.
Although Zhang Hongying didn't want Yang Ling to take risks when he went out at night, he also knew Yang Ling's temper and had to save his brother.
"How about I go too? I'm a doctor. I can help if someone gets hurt." Zhang Hongying said.
Thinking that if he went to a battalion, there shouldn't be much danger. After thinking for a few seconds, Yang Ling nodded and said, "That's fine. The medical team in our regiment has a medical kit. I'll ask them to send it over."
