Chapter 681 Imagination and reality are so far apart
The spring wind was very strong, and the dust was flying everywhere. Tongtong covered his nose and walked a few steps, opened the car door and got in.
The threshing floor was not far from the village office. In order to accommodate Tong Tong, Tao Jianming said: "Xinyu, let's go by car. The countryside is not as dusty as the city."
"Okay." Jiang Xinyu got into the car.
Tao Jianming then got into Jiang Xinyu's car and pointed, "Follow the village road to the west. After passing the ancestral hall, you will find the military camp."
Tong Tong coughed for a while and complained: "I ate a mouthful of dirt... Deputy Commander Tao, where is your car?"
"The group went to the city for business and drove away," Tao Jianming said.
Tong Tong said in surprise: "Your group only has one car?"
Tao Jianming said: "There is no way, materials are in short supply."
Jiang Xinyu said while driving: "Brother Jianming, are you kidding me? Whose is missing? How can we still be missing the gendarmerie?"
Tao Jianming laughed and seemed not to want to discuss this issue anymore, saying: "With frequent rain this year, the harvest will definitely be good..."
The 4th Gendarmerie Regiment is a law enforcement branch. Even the battalion commander should be equipped with at least one jeep. It is a bit strange that the commander and deputy commander actually share the same vehicle.
The military camp arrived in a blink of an eye. In fact, the threshing floor was enclosed and guard posts were set up around it to strictly prohibit stray people from approaching.
There is also no sign hanging at the entrance of the military camp. There are two machine gun nests on the left and right, equipped with Browning heavy machine guns. There are two security posts, each with a carbine on their shoulders.
Seeing a car approaching, the sentry immediately took a few steps forward, picked up his carbine, and shouted loudly: "Don't approach this important military area, stay back!"
Tao Jianming got out of the car and walked over. The machine gunners and assistant shooters at the sentry post and the machine gun nest all stood at attention and saluted.
Tao Jianming returned the military salute and ordered: "Open the door!"
"yes!"
The two sentries worked together to open the door.
Tao Jianming got in the car again and the car slowly drove into the military camp.
Facing the empty station, Tong Tong was disappointed.
The queue drill and tense and busy scene she was looking forward to did not exist. This did not seem to be a military camp, but more like a school where classes were taking place.
"Where are your soldiers?" Tong Tong asked Tao Jianming.
Tao Jianming said: "It's a bad time for you to come. It's rest time now and they are all in the barracks."
"Do soldiers still need to rest?"
As soon as the words came out, Tong Tong felt something was wrong and quickly explained: "I mean, why don't they come out for training?"
Tao Jianming smiled and said: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to use it. We are raising an army now."
"Oh..." Tong Tong nodded in understanding.
A gendarmerie unit came to Yanjin quietly and hid in the village. Even daily drills were canceled. This must be to deceive others!
Jiang Xinyu drove around the threshing floor and counted the number of barracks in his mind. According to the organization of a regiment, they were basically full.
In front of one of the barracks, two soldiers stood guard, and four large characters were written in paint on the door: Munitions Warehouse.
One regiment has only one warehouse, which is in line with the information disclosed by Tao Jianming. The 4th Military Police Regiment will be stationed in Yanjin for a month at most, so they do not need more supplies.
Not a single truck or armored vehicle was seen. In a sense, this was a true "infantry regiment" without any baggage materials!
The barracks are built using fireproof boards with the same specifications and dimensions. Not only can they be assembled at will, but they can also be disassembled and taken away, making them very suitable for marching.
The wooden boards are spray-painted with English letters, the most eye-catching being the two letters "uk". Obviously, these are supplies from the British army!
If used in frontline combat, this kind of thing is useless. A bullet can penetrate it, and a cannonball can blow up the entire barracks.
"Tong Tong, you have seen the military camp, how do you feel?" Jiang Xinyu said pretending to be relaxed.
"I don't feel it." Tong Tong had a very depressed look on his face and said discouraged: "If I had known this was the case, I wouldn't have come..."
Jiang Xinyu said lightly: "Do you feel that there is such a big distance between imagination and reality?"
"Hmm... Xinyu, how about we go back?" Tong Tong said in a low voice.
She has no interest at all now and just wants to leave here as soon as possible.
Jiang Xinyu said helplessly: "You are the one who is coming, and you are also the one who is leaving! Deputy Commander Tao and I haven't even exchanged a few words, and we just come and go in such a hurry. It's so rude!"
Tao Jianming said: "Xinyu, don't think so. It doesn't matter. I'm going to Yanjin in a few days. There are many opportunities for us to meet."
Jiang Xinyu raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was now two o'clock in the afternoon and said, "Well, in that case, I won't bother you. Let's meet up another day!"
As the car left the military camp and passed the village office and regiment headquarters, Tao Jianming got out of the car, stood on the roadside, waved, and said, "Go slowly, you two!"
Jiang Xinyu honked the car horn, and the car drove along the village road toward Yanjin, dragging dust.
"Rongrong must be asleep now." Tongtong said.
Jiang Xinyu looked forward and said casually: "How do you know?"
"At this time every day, Rongrong takes a nap and can't even wake up!"
"Children sleep well..."
After a trip to Yangcun, Jiang Xinyu was secretly worried because he didn't find any valuable clues.
The 4th Military Police Regiment was secretly transferred to Yanjin. What was the purpose?
"Hey, I found a problem!"
"What?"
"Rongrong looks like you, not like Mina."
"It's more or less like..."
"No! I observed her for more than an hour while she was sleeping!"
Hearing what she said and imagining the scene at that time, Jiang Xinyu couldn't help but be moved by it.
Rongrong fell asleep soundly, and Tongtong watched intently. How much love did he have to do this?
The car entered the city and did not return the same way.
Tong Tong looked out the car window and said, "Xinyu, are you going the wrong way?"
"No. Let's go around the east station." Jiang Xinyu said.
"Why the detour?"
"Have you never been to the East Railway Station? It's still early, so I'll take you to have a look."
Jiang Xinyu said this just to make an excuse. Since he found nothing in Yangcun, he could only hope that East Station would find something!
What he didn't expect was that this excuse would make Tong Tong think wildly.
Jiang Xinyu remembered everything he said unintentionally. What does this mean?
Of course it means that Jiang Xinyu still has feelings for him!
Otherwise, who would care about an irrelevant person?
Tongtong's heart was pounding because she suddenly discovered that the person she cared about also cared about herself!
She secretly stared at Jiang Xinyu, and the more she looked at him, the more pleasing she became to her eyes.
I remember what my father said: Is it possible? Can a girl from my Tong family still be a concubine for others?
