"Did you hear it? Did you hear it? It won't work for three days!" Wang Husheng said to Xu Rui excitedly, "Did you hear it, Old Xu? It won't work for three days! It won't work!"
Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "What if we add the Wolf Fang Team?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "Even if we add the Wolf Fang Team, we can only delay it for three days at most!"
"Did you hear that?" Wang Husheng echoed loudly, "With the addition of the wolf fangs, we can hold him back for three days."
"What if we add a tunnel battle?" Xu Rui said, "Veteran, how many days do you think it can be delayed?"
"Tunnel warfare?" Leng Tiefeng frowned when he heard this and said, "It depends on what kind of tunnel it is. If there is a tunnel network like the Meihe Plain, the militiamen are familiar with the terrain and the help of Langya
, it is still possible to hold off the enemy from Huainan and Pukou for ten days."
"But..." Wang Husheng said, "Pucheng and Guanxian do not have such complete tunnels!"
"If there is no tunnel, can't we dig it?" Xu Rui said, "Is it difficult to dig a tunnel?"
Leng Tiefeng said: "It is certainly not difficult to dig a tunnel, but it takes time. Where does the time come from?"
"That's right, where does the time come from?" Wang Husheng followed up and said, "The little Japs in Pukou, Feicheng and Huainan are already hoarding supplies. I think it won't be too far away to send out troops. Maybe they will send out troops in a few days.
The Japs are about to send out troops, how can we have time to dig tunnels?"
Xu Rui said: "If you don't have time, then fight for time!"
"Buying time?" Wang Husheng said blankly, "How to gain time?"
Xu Rui said in a deep voice: "If the Japanese want to send troops, they must first hoard enough military supplies, such as food, ammunition, mules, horses and trucks. They cannot send troops until these supplies are in place. After all,
It’s an army of 70,000 to 80,000 and nearly 100,000 people. People eat what horses chew, and the daily consumption is an astronomical figure.”
Leng Tiefeng said: "You mean to delay time by destroying the Japanese war supplies?"
"Yes, delaying time by destroying the Japanese war supplies." Xu Rui nodded, then turned to Wang Husheng and said, "Old Wang, if you are asked to urgently mobilize civilians to dig out statues in Pu County and Guan County,
How long will it take to build a tunnel network like the Meihe Basin?”
This is Wang Husheng's job.
Wang Husheng calculated in his mind and said: "Almost a month!"
"One month?" When Xu Rui heard this, his thick eyebrows immediately frowned.
Wang Husheng said quickly: "Of course, if all the strong laborers from Meixian and Shanxian counties are mobilized, the time should be shortened by ten days! I think that about twenty days should be enough."
"I'll give you twenty days to dig the tunnel!" After Xu Rui finished speaking, he said to Leng Tiefeng, "Veteran, I'm afraid the Wolf Fang team will have to split up this time and form three combat teams.
, you, I and Leopard will each lead a detachment and go to Nanjing, Feicheng and Huainan respectively to carry out sabotage operations, destroy as much of the Japs’ war preparation materials as possible, and delay the Japs’ dispatch of troops as long as possible!”
Leng Tiefeng frowned and said: "As the captain of Langya, it is my unshirkable responsibility to lead the team. Lao Xu, you don't have to lead the team yourself, right? It's also okay to let leopards and tigers lead the team."
"No." Xu Rui shook his head decisively and said, "The focus of this attack is Nanjing, because the materials transferred by the Japanese from China must be transferred through Nanjing, but Nanjing is the headquarters of the Japanese Condemnation Army in Central China after all, and,
There may be constraints from the Oluhara Brigade, so I have to lead the team in person to feel at ease."
Leng Tiefeng stopped saying anything. What else could he say?
No. 58 of the Wolf Fang Team, including him as the captain, all had their special warfare skills taught by Xu Rui. They did not have the confidence to say, "Old Xu, you can't do it, so you can stay here to look after me."
We just go and do our job.
Wang Husheng didn't say much, because the two of them had already divided the work. Xu Rui had the final say on all military matters, and other matters were under the control of him as the political commissar.
Xu Rui added: "Old Wang, I'll leave the real thing to you. If there is a shortage of manpower, the main regiments and directly affiliated battalions stationed in Pu County and Guan County can also be requisitioned! Anyway, they are very free now."
Wang Husheng said: "Don't worry, Old Xu, leave the underground work to me. I promise to dig out an underground Great Wall in Pu County and Guan County within twenty days!"
Xu Rui turned to Leng Tiefeng and said, "Veteran, go home and get ready. We'll set off tonight."
Leng Tiefeng said: "Our Yanzi is fine, so there is no need to prepare, but you, Lao Xu, hehehehe."
After finishing speaking, Leng Tiefeng gave Xu Rui a thoughtful look. Leng Tiefeng knew that Xu Rui would definitely not bring Sai Hongfu with him to Nanjing this time, so he had to bear with it.
"Hey hey hey what?" Xu Rui immediately guessed what Leng Tiefeng was thinking and said, "You think I don't dare to take Xiaobai to Nanjing? You are wrong."
Leng Tiefeng said suddenly: "Do you really dare?"
"Why don't you dare?" Xu Rui snorted, but he was obviously feeling guilty.
The two of them went home respectively, but Xu Rui did not go back to his own home immediately, but first went to Han Feng's house next door.
In recent days, Team Langya had a rare holiday. Han Feng was chopping firewood in the yard. Winter was about to come, but the family didn’t prepare much firewood for winter preparation. Han Feng naturally had to take advantage of the time he still had.
I quickly prepared enough firewood for my family.
Han Feng was chopping firewood in the courtyard, and Erya was sitting under the eaves basking in the sun while doing handicrafts. Erya was embroidering a tiger head hat, which was prepared for the child who was about to be born. Erya's belly was now turned up.
As high as the sky, she was about to give birth before her eyes.
"Fengzi, where are you working?" Xu Rui walked in and asked with a smile.
"Captain, why are you here?" Han Feng quickly put down the ax in his hand and was busy moving a chair for Xu Rui. Erya, who was embroidering a tiger head hat, also struggled to get up and pour water for Xu Rui.
Xu Rui quickly stepped forward to stop him and said repeatedly: "Sit down, Erya. I don't want to drink water. Just say a few words and leave."
A look of sadness immediately appeared on Erya's face, and she asked in a low voice: "Captain, are you going on another mission so soon?"
With the birth coming soon, Erya naturally hopes that the man can stay by her side.
However, Han Feng reprimanded Erya: "Why are you talking to the group leader?"
Erya immediately turned away and started sobbing silently.
Han Feng was a little upset. On the one hand, he felt sorry for his wife, but on the other hand, he had responsibilities and obligations as a soldier, and it was difficult to let go of both sides.
Fortunately, Xu Rui brought good news this time.
Xu Rui said: "Fengzi, don't be cruel to Erya. She is about to give birth. You should stay at home with her at this time. I heard that the first thing the child saw after he was born was that man.
In your heart, you will recognize that man as your father and you will only be close to him. Don’t let your son see someone else for the first time.”
Hearing what Xu Rui said, Erya immediately felt relieved, because Xu Rui always said what he said, and no one, not even the political commissar, could change the decisions he made.
Then Erya said with a smile: "The leader is joking, there is no such thing."
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Erya, just smile. If you smile more, the children you will give birth to will be beautiful."
"The baby I want to give birth to is a boy." Erya glanced at Han Feng, and then said cautiously, "The boy only needs to be strong. If he wants to be beautiful, he will do whatever he wants."
"Erya, you are wrong." Xu Rui said with a smile, "Boys also need to be more beautiful. Look at Doudou, you should be more popular with the little girls in school. When this boy grows up in the future,
Finding a wife must not be difficult, wouldn’t you say?”
Erya burst into laughter after hearing this.
Han Feng said: "Captain, don't listen to her. What is the mission this time?"
"This time, your mission is really to stay at home!" Xu Rui said in a deep voice, "However, it doesn't mean that you will be at home with your wife all day long. You still have business. It happens to be a break between battles, and there are no major military operations for the time being.
, so you have to take over the task of selecting new members of Langya."
Han Feng said anxiously: "Captain, leave this matter to others, but I will still go on a mission with you!"
"What, you dare to disobey me?" Xu Rui pulled his face down, and Han Feng stopped saying anything.
Xu Rui added: "Don't think that this job is easy. If the quality of the new team members selected this time is not high, I will only ask you."
"Yes!" Han Feng stood at attention and responded, "Promise to complete the mission."
Xu Rui returned the gift, said goodbye to Erya, and then went out to go back to his home.
Before entering the house, Xu Rui heard Sai Hongfu and Xiao Taohong chatting in the yard.
Xiao Taohong said: "Sister, do you want to have a daughter or a boy?"
Sai Hongfu said: "Of course I hope to have a daughter who will be well-behaved and sensible. If I give birth to a boy who is very like his father, he will be extremely naughty and I will be annoyed to death."
Xiao Taohong smiled softly and said: "I think it would be good to have a boy. He will be like my uncle, with a tiger-like head and a tough brain, which is very rare."
"That's right." Sai Hongfu said with a smile, "It's rare for him to be a tiger-headed man. When he grows up, he will definitely be like his father, always messing around with flowers."
Xiao Taohong immediately retorted in a low voice: "Sister, actually you really wronged my uncle. He didn't go around messing around with women."
"Are you still covering for him?" Sai Hongfu snorted, and then said, "Don't say it anymore. We are sisters. We have made this agreement since we were children, but I didn't wrong him in Jiangnan, right?"
There’s Junko Okahara from the hospital, Dr. Junko, don’t you think the way Dr. Junko looks at your uncle is a little weird?”
Xiao Taohong thought about it for a moment and then said: "It seems to be true."
Sai Hongfu said: "Look, how many are there? I didn't accuse him unjustly, did I?"
Xiao Taohong said: "Dr. Junko may like my uncle, but my uncle may not like her. Sister, are you overthinking it?"
Sai Hongfu said: "You don't know much about men. This man doesn't have any good things. He likes the new and hates the old. The less you can get, the better."
