It was still a scorching sun at noon and the sky was clear, but the weather suddenly changed around three o'clock in the afternoon. Dark clouds gathered in the sky and covered the sky with strong winds and rain, drenching Han Baihang's troops until they were soaked in water. At this time, the official road was mostly gravel and dirt.
, when heavy rain washed away, the road immediately became muddy, which made the march more difficult and made the soldiers complain.
Marching hard all the way, it was already evening when we arrived at Liulician Station, which the lieutenant colonel officer said. The troops were soaked in clothes, cold and hungry. When they entered the station, they were stopped by the garrison, who said: "The station is under martial law, and no idlers are allowed to wait."
If you come too close, anyone who disobeys the order will be subject to military law!"
The soldiers got into a commotion and walked all night just to get shelter from the wind and rain at the station. At this time, the heavy rain was still pouring down. No one could bear it if they walked any further. Han Baihang calmed down the soldiers' emotions first and stepped forward to talk to the guards.
Team of people negotiate.
"Sir, our unit is the Fifteenth Division..." Han Baihang first introduced himself, but before he could finish speaking, a captain officer in the garrison waved his hand and said, "I know who you are, the cavalry of the First Division this afternoon.
The deputy commander of the regiment came here and asked us to take care of you at the station. Unfortunately, a commander came to the station and the station has entered martial law. You can only go elsewhere, but I can replenish your supplies."
Han Baihang didn't expect that the lieutenant colonel officer had actually given instructions to the station, which saved him from being interrogated by the garrison. When he heard the lieutenant colonel officer talking about the arrival of some officers at the station, his heart suddenly moved. What officer could make the station do this?
When faced with the warning of a powerful enemy, the first thing he thought of was Duan Zhigui, but he was not sure in his heart, so he complained loudly: "Sir, he is here to have food and clothing, and doesn't care whether we soldiers live or die. Brothers have been walking for a day, and their legs are all gone."
We are about to stop walking. Look at the rain. There is no village or shop in front of you. Where else can you find shelter from the wind and rain except at the station?"
"What's the fuss about?"
The captain's expression changed slightly, and he angrily yelled, "You can't afford the punishment for disturbing the commander, so you can leave immediately."
At this time, a bolt of lightning snaked and exploded in the dark clouds, and the thunder rumbled, making people's eardrums tremble. Han Baihang curled his lips and said shamelessly: "Sir, the thunder is so loud, how can the officers inside hear what we say?"
, Besides, we don’t want to enter the station, so we just need to find a shelter from the wind and rain. When the rain subsides, we will leave immediately. Just be okay. We are all brothers Paoze. Whoever has not encountered some difficulties, please help.
"
The captain's attitude was firm: "No, there is an order from above. You must leave as soon as possible. If you don't leave, I will send someone to drive them away."
Han Baihang begged for a while, but when he saw that he wouldn't let go and wanted to drive people away, he couldn't help but said angrily: "We won't leave today. Brothers, let's just sit here. There are bullets and bullets coming at us. We're afraid of a ball!"
He sat down in the muddy water, stood up straight and let the rain hit him. The other five rows of soldiers followed suit and also sat down in the muddy water. This move immediately stunned the guards at the sentry post.
The captain officer was frightened and angry, and shouted: "Get up, people, come on, drive them away!"
The soldiers of the garrison rushed out from the sentry post, waving their rifles to chase away the people. However, they were not really cruel. They also looked at the pitiful people in the fifth row. Not to mention their ragged clothes, their bodies looked like they had rolled through muddy water, and they shouted.
After a while, the people in the fifth platoon were not driven away, but Han Baihang started to act, screaming in pain: "If your own people beat your own people, you are still not brothers. I will go to the commander-in-chief to sue you."
The other people in the fifth platoon followed suit and screamed one after another, making the soldiers in the garrison dumbfounded. They had no choice but to stop and said to the captain: "Company commander, these brothers look so pitiful, why don't we just let them go?"
They were looking for a place to take shelter from the rain under the eaves of the station. If we drive them away, it will be very ugly for them to meet the people of the 15th Division in the future."
The captain officer frowned and thought for a long time before nodding and said: "Okay, we are all brothers Pao Ze, I will let you take shelter from the rain, but the ugly talk is ahead, there is no need to wander around, if the officer asks, you have to leave immediately
."
"become!"
When Han Baihang heard this, he immediately stood up from the muddy water and shouted: "Get up, why don't you thank the officer for your kindness."
"Thank you, sir..."
The soldiers in the fifth row stood up in a hurry, saying words of gratitude.
The captain's expression softened slightly and he ordered his subordinates: "Take them to shelter from the rain under the hangar, let the cooking team work hard and cook some ginger soup for them."
"Thank you!" Han Baihang stepped forward and saluted solemnly, and followed the two soldiers from the garrison towards the hangar. This hangar is located on the north side of the station and has been semi-abandoned. There is a rusty hangar inside.
The locomotive, according to the people in the garrison, is an old thing from the pre-Qing Dynasty.
He was brought to the garage by Han Baihang. The people from the garrison did not leave. They seemed to be monitoring and were standing guard at the door. Han Baihang remained calm and gave a cautious look to several shed leaders. He took out two pieces from his pocket.
Dayang walked towards the two soldiers in the garrison. One of them was tall and thin, the other was hunchbacked. He shivered and said, "Brothers, thank you for bringing us here in the rain. It's so cold here."
The soldier in the garrison glanced at Han Baihang and said, "Sir, there is oil in it. You can make a fire."
Han Baihang thanked him, secretly stuffed Dayang Dayang into their hands, and said with a smile: "Brother, help me, get me some cigarettes and wine."
The two soldiers looked at each other and discussed in a low voice. The tall and lanky man accepted Dayang and said, "Okay, I'll go get some. Don't tell our company commander."
"How can I, am I that kind of person?" Han Baihang vowed.
After the tall and thin man left, Han Baihang chatted with the hunchbacked soldier, mostly asking about the origin of the garrison and the situation of today's battle. After they got familiar with the conversation, he casually said: "Brother, you heard that
Well, when Duan Xiangshuai marched and fought, we also brought Xiao Cuiyun, a famous prostitute from the Bada Hutong, who was so romantic and happy. It's a pity that we are in a humble position and don't have much money in our hands. Otherwise, we would go to the Bada Hutong and find a Datong girl.
My mother-in-law is waiting for her, not to mention how beautiful she is, maybe she can be the same as Xiangshuai!"
After saying that, he touched his crotch in a daze, moved it towards his nose, and frowned. All the soldiers were rough men, and they could not talk without women. When Han Baihang's behavior was seen in the eyes of the hunchbacked soldier, he was shocked.
Feeling that he was in the same camp, he grinned and said: "Originally, there was a widow in front of the station who was engaged in skin and flesh business. Now that the war has started, we don't know where to escape. Otherwise, the commander can go and feel comfortable."
Han Baihang was disgusted by what he heard. No matter how bad he was, he would not go to a prostitute with thousands of people riding on his back. He winked and smiled and said: "Okay, brother, I usually spend a lot of money on widows. You have to say that thirty is like this."
A wolf is as strong as a tiger at forty, so this widow is serving you a group of soldiers, so it will be peaceful!"
The hunchback said happily: "That's not good. Once, this widow was serving two brothers and was tortured so much that she couldn't get out of bed for three days. We thought it would be useless, but unexpectedly the house opened again on the fourth day.
."
Han Baihang gave a thumbs up: "How else can people say that there is no damaged land, only exhausted cows?"
After chatting for a while, Han Baihang deliberately followed his words, which made the hunchbacked soldier feel that Han Baihang was a good commander and did not put on airs, which made him feel as if he had met him late.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Han Baihang pretended to be casual and asked, "Brother, what kind of big shot is coming to our station? I've seen teachers travel, but they don't look like this."
The hunchbacked soldier glanced at Han Baihang warily, thought for a while and then whispered: "Don't even think about it. Marshal Duan's car is parked at our station."
Han Baihang was excited in his heart and pretended to be surprised on his face: "My dear, luckily I didn't continue to cause trouble just now. If I had disturbed Marshal Duan, I would have shed my skin even if I didn't die."
The hunchbacked soldier said: "That's right. Sir, you have to thank our company commander. He is doing it for your own good and is not unkind."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely go over and apologize to him right away."
Han Baihang laughed, took the time to return to the army, and whispered to the three shed leaders: "Duan Zhigui is at the station. Zhou Qing, go and conduct a secret investigation and report back to me."
Zhou Qing nodded and slowly retreated into the darkness of the garage. With his skills, he could climb out of the roof.
"I'm pretty good at it, I'll go too," Hou Zhao said eagerly.
"Just calm down." Han Baihang glared at him and said, "You will follow me later. If you dare to do anything wrong, I will kill you first."
Hou Zhao shrank his neck and said awkwardly: "Platoon leader, we are all our own people, so don't be so alienated."
Han Baihang ignored him. Just then the tall soldier came back from getting cigarettes and wine. He hurriedly walked over, followed by Hou Zhao.
