Liu Lang slipped away very quickly and disappeared without even giving the two of them time to react.
But those two people stared at each other for a long time, and then tragically discovered that they were not here to be censored or to hold a meeting, but just had a quiet "accidental encounter" with Liu Shang. In the end, they only
I was able to carry back the two boxes of pistols and bullets given by Liu Lang.
As for why Liu Shang could appear in eastern Shanxi, why he could appear at the important front line of Jingxing, and how he was able to arrange for them to meet through Brigadier Chen Da of the 386th Brigade, these two people were not surprised at all.
In their eyes, Liu Shang, who had great powers, was able to bring the equipment of an infantry division and wait for the large red army in Hadapu, which he had no idea where to go next. He even had contact with the leader of the column. Now he is alone.
Is there anything strange about a man appearing in the red army with whom he has already established an excellent relationship? Not to mention only carrying a few small pistols, even carrying the equipment of an infantry battalion is normal.
That is, when Liu Lang left, he said that they would not be able to become the battalion commander, which made the two of them somewhat depressed and anxious.
Although I really want not to believe it, that person has been doing business with Northern Shaanxi in the past two years. Not to mention that he knows the brigade commander and division commander, there is nothing strange about the senior leaders of the group army. Since he dares to say so,
He must have heard some news from above.
Could it be that he came here specifically to give gifts because he felt that his two unlucky people were going to be unlucky, so he used gifts to appease them?
However, if you are not a battalion commander, what should you be? For the sake of the Anti-Japanese United Front, the entire army was reorganized into three infantry divisions. The officers of the entire 18th Army were downgraded. The original division commander became the regiment commander, and the regiment commander became the battalion commander.
It is almost common for commanders and battalion commanders to become company commanders or even platoon commanders. Except for the position under their own buttocks, after thinking for a while, the two of them could not find any battalion-level positions left for them in the 343rd Brigade or even the 129th Division.
Future Lieutenant General Daya was still clever. After returning to the 343rd Brigade station, he and the young version of Dahei, who were also a little worried, murmured for a while, took the pistol sent by Liu Shang and ran to "give it as a gift". Anyway, the gun was going to be given as a gift.
The brigade commander and the others would be well off if they could get some information.
Captain Yang couldn't put it down holding the Black Star pistol, but he didn't know anything about the two men's insinuations about moving their positions. He didn't say anything and even scolded these two people. It was such a big deal to touch two battalion-level cadres.
Can you talk about things casually? If you don't scold the two of them, who can you scold them? After scolding them, they confiscated the new pistols that they had not warmed up, and drove them out of the regiment headquarters.
Well, they lost four pistols in one fell swoop without asking for any information. The two men reluctantly wandered to the brigade headquarters again, only to be told that the brigade commander had gone to the joint headquarters for a meeting.
It seemed that they could only wait the whole night, hoping that Liu Shang just scared them on purpose. The two old revolutionaries could only comfort themselves by touching the knife given by Liu Shang. Fortunately, the knife was hidden tightly and was not blocked.
Long to see.
Liu Lang finally settled his worries and returned to the joint command headquarters.
He also had to accompany the big bosses to have a meal together, which was the celebration banquet agreed on in the morning.
It can be said that starting from the afternoon, the entire Snowflake Mountain and Jingxing were filled with the aroma of meat.
Since the announcement of the great victory in Shanxi Province, villagers from dozens of miles around have been carrying their own fat pigs and wild boar hunted in the mountains to work for the army since the day before yesterday. The Jindong headquarters also sent people to send
Five trucks of pork came as rewards for the troops on the Jingxing front line. The Logistics Department of the Independent Regiment and the 129th Division's Transport Battalion even drove carriages to various places in eastern Shanxi to buy meat, vegetables and liquor two days ago, and they all returned this morning.
Already.
Several generals who returned to Jingxing overnight last night discussed that today, after completing the distribution of all personnel and materials, the entire army will have a dinner to celebrate the victory of Shanxi Province.
The entire Jingxing County has an army of more than 25,000, including 15,000 new northern officers and soldiers and 4,000 new military recruits. Not counting the Jingxing people who attended the banquet and helped carry supplies, those who are only affiliated with the army are
More than 40,000 people. Including the people in Jingxing County, it is estimated to be more than 50,000 people.
Good guy, we slaughtered 500 fat pigs alone, plus the thousands of kilograms of fat meat sent from the Shandong Headquarters, the meat alone is more than 60,000 kilograms, which is average for each person.
Well over a pound of meat.
The banquets in the army are not so particular about the dishes. They just use the most popular way in the north. Big pot of stewed meat, cabbage and potatoes, plus fat and oily meat, which is the best dish.
Starting from the morning, the generals and officers were busy grabbing soldiers, while the cooking soldiers and baggage soldiers were busy dividing the meat and making meat. Each row had a large iron pot, fifty kilograms of meat and one hundred
A pound of vegetables, fifty pounds of white wine, and white flour steamed buns are enough. Except for the two infantry squads of each infantry company that must be on guard duty, and one infantry battalion of each regiment that is on combat duty, the infantry regiments of each division that are on combat duty are not allowed to drink alcohol.
Except for this, other officers and soldiers who are not on guard or combat duty can drink alcohol.
Originally, although the victory of Jindong had been announced, he was still on the battlefield after all. According to wartime regulations, he was not allowed to drink alcohol. However, Liu Lang still stubbornly purchased a huge amount of 50,000 kilograms of liquor and strongly suggested a dinner.
Officers and soldiers who are not on combat duty can drink it.
Because he knows what soldiers need most when they return from a bloody battle. They need to relieve their tense nerves.
The battlefield is very cruel. The blood of the enemy and the blood of comrades are sprinkled on the bodies of the soldiers. At the moment of life and death, they will deliberately ignore the cruelty, but that does not mean that the tragedies have not remained in their hearts and minds.
inside.
If things go on like this, they will not trust anyone. As long as they receive a little stimulation, they may regard it as a battlefield, and everyone will become their enemy.
Liu Lang is a human being, and he has experienced the same things. The year he first came to the arsenal from the special forces, he always had a knife under his pillow. A weapons expert laughed at him because he didn't understand the performance of weapons, and his murderous eyes almost disappeared.
I was so scared that people wet their pants.
This kind of habitual psychological behavior in the battlefield will be called war syndrome in the future.
And what can make these warriors who have fought for the rest of their lives relax, firstly, is the gentleness of women, and secondly, alcohol.
Liu Lang couldn't provide women. The only solution was alcohol. A drunken drink could not only relax the soldiers whose nerves and body functions had been tense after fighting for several days.
Moreover, Liu Lang didn't know how many of these soldiers could wait until the next time they got drunk. Many of them might not be able to wait in this lifetime.
By the afternoon, all the meat in the big pot had been stewed, and the ordinary soldiers had already been squatting aside, salivating and smelling the aroma of the meat, waiting for the officers to give the order to start the meal.
This time, large pieces of fat meat can be produced. On average, more than one kilogram of fat meat per person can definitely feed a grown man. If the farmers in eastern Shanxi were not really rich, almost all the pigs raised would be bought.
With only a few hundred heads, Liu Tuanzu dared to cook a hundred thousand catties in one meal.
To use what Liu Tuanzuo said at the meeting: Even if I don’t care about the lives of my soldiers, eating a few more pieces of meat is nothing. If you want to eat, you have to eat until you vomit.
In addition to the big pot of stew, everyone was also given four tin cans of beef captured by the Japanese army. Anyway, the standard for this celebration banquet was that there was enough meat and enough wine. If you can't finish it, the cans are yours.
Already.
Thousands of people in Jingxing who were about to evacuate to the rear of Shanxi Province were also divided into two parts according to the same standards as the army. One part was stationed with the Panshi Camp of the Independent Regiment, and the other part was stationed with the 772nd Regiment of the 129th Division. It was a true military-civilian celebration.
.
The soldiers were waiting around the big iron pot to smell the smell, and Liu Tuanzuo was not doing much better. He was just like a soldier, squatting not far from the big iron pot outside the joint headquarters, smelling the fragrant aroma.
I sighed at the smell of the broth: "It smells so delicious! I really want to have a big fat meal every day."
That look made several cooks couldn't help but laugh. If there wasn't a beautiful reporter standing ten meters away from him who covered her head several times in a certain group, the cooks would have served this man a bowl of fat meat.
It’s time to give it a try.
It's a pity that the beautiful reporter is too polite and thinks that it's outrageous for a fat man to just have a hearty meal while the generals haven't arrived yet and the whole army is still waiting.
Liu Tuanzuo could only squat down from a distance and continue to smell and sigh. Although the beautiful reporter also felt sorry for him and secretly stuffed him a roasted sweet potato when no one was paying attention, but how could that thing be as delicious as fat?
It wasn't until it was almost dark that a group of generals returned to the joint command headquarters with smiles on their faces. Apparently, they were all satisfied with the recruitment of soldiers.
"Sirs, we've finished our work. Come on, come on, let's have dinner." Liu Lang jumped up eagerly and waved his hand, "Sanchuan'er, tell the whole army, let's have dinner."
"Haha, Commander Liu, I, Old Tang, can't accompany you anymore. A telegram came from the army commander, ordering me to lead the 43rd Brigade to return to Niangziguan station immediately, and we will rush to Taiyuan tomorrow morning. Brigadier Cun and I are here specially
I came to say goodbye to you. You and I will meet again in Taiyuan." Tang Huaiyuan laughed and said.
After speaking, he clasped his fists at the other generals and said, "Brother Liu, Brother Zhao, Brother Li, and all my colleagues, see you in Taiyuan."
"Sir, the two Brigadier Chen, Commander Liu, take your leave." Cun Xingqi took the initiative to give a military salute.
Several people were busy returning the military salute.
The future military god advised: "Commander Tang, your department has been very tired from carrying supplies these two days. The food has already been prepared. It's better to eat first and then leave."
"No, I gave the order half an hour ago to let the 43rd Brigade and the new brothers have a meal in advance, and I also brought four tins of canned beef from the little devils. Thanks to them, they should be waiting in line for us now.
! Military orders are hard to disobey, please don’t blame me. No need to send me off, please stay." Tang Huaiyuan's attitude was very firm.
Chong Liu Lang nodded again, turned around and left.
It was said that they were not allowed to send it off, but that was because they were being polite. If you really didn’t send it off, it would be terrible. Several of you here are people with high emotional intelligence, so naturally they were sent away more than half a mile away. Only after Lieutenant General Tang’s repeated requests
Return next.
"Lao Tang and Lao Cun are nice people, but with the name of the Central Military Army, they always feel that they have to hide something in everything they say. Now this military order comes at the right time. We can have a good drink of this celebration wine." He has a straightforward personality.
The red general watched the two figures disappear at the mountain pass under the escort of a guard platoon, and couldn't help but sigh with relief.
"Hehe, it must be the right time! The field artillery was divided into two battalions, and they got 3,000 veterans for free. Anyone who replaces them has to run away quickly. What if we regret it after a meal of wine?" The future general is Weiwei.
Said with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Lao Tang and Lao Cun were scared away by us! I said why they didn't even eat! That's not right! Although we felt sorry for giving them things, we said it all and wanted to regret it.
I can't pull that face off! Who are they afraid of?" The red general was very surprised.
"If you were in their shoes, who would you be afraid of?"
The red general involuntarily turned his gaze to Liu Lang aside. It seemed that only this man could fool him so well that he could deceive more than 10,000 prisoners of war by himself. If it were him, he would have guessed what was his.
Something can run as far as it can.
He was really right. In the afternoon, the two men saw that the personnel were almost in place. Field artillery and a batch of light and heavy machine guns were also moved to the station. The remaining daily necessities, clothes and bedding were not lacking for the Central Army.
, simply don’t plan to take it anymore. What you get is yours. If after a drink that big liar comes up with an idea to get something from you, it will be too late to cry. In order to avoid long nights and dreams,
It's better to leave early.
"Hey, the two brigade commanders, Commander Tang and Brigadier Cun, have run away. What about you? Do you still want to eat this meal? Let's not talk about anything else. Let's see the real chapter at the wine table. Do you dare to pick one of the two?" Liu Langyi
He looked at the two big brothers who were making fun of him with a half-smiling face, and made up his mind to kill them.
Today, they must be poured with wine.
"I'm not afraid of one on one, why should I be afraid of two against one?" The red general bravely fought.
"Don't be impulsive, Old Chen." The future general was still smart. Seeing Liu Lang's face, he quickly stopped his companion from making an unwise decision. "You are young, and we are all older than you. It is impossible to bully you one against another.
"
"So what do you mean?"
"You can choose my 129th Division as your independent regiment!"
...
What about moral integrity? Not only did the future second-generation leader on the side laugh, but even the usually serious future military god looked at Liu Lang with a smile.
You should know that only Liu Lang is qualified to serve on the independent regiment table at the headquarters, while the 129th Division has as many as four people. Moreover, two Sichuanese and two Hunanese are both good drinkers.
"You don't mind if my 17th Division also joins in!" Zhao Shoushan also said with a smile.
"Brother Liu! I'm sorry, I think it's safer for me to stand on their side." Comrade Lao Li also joined in to add insult to injury to a certain wave.
A person from Shanxi and a person from Shaanxi are also very good at drinking.
6VS1, Liu Lang basically had no chance of winning. They were all waiting to see the little fat man beg for mercy. Maybe they were not as jealous as him, but with the power of the crowd, the little fat man had to give in!
"Okay! That's it." But Liu Lang smiled brightly.
"No! I've been fooled." Anyway, what was passing through the hearts of all the generals at this moment was an ominous shadow.

PS: Today is just one chapter, a big chapter of 4,000 words. Fengyue was too busy today, so there are 2,000 words missing. I will make up for it next month. Don’t blame me.
