After hearing this, Company Commander Zhong quickly explained: "Sir, it may be our regiment commander Cai who is here. I sent someone to report to the regiment headquarters before I came."
This Captain Zhong is still a thoughtful person. He is afraid that he is not dignified enough and will cause trouble if he doesn't come back. After all, he is known as the Central Army and his temper may not be bad, so he sent someone to report it before he came.
Head of the group.
When Zhou Wen heard that the commander of the 19th Route Army was coming, he did not dare to neglect and led everyone out to greet him.
This is not to say that Zhou Wen values a regiment commander very much, but for a regiment commander who dares to fire the first shot at the Japanese and leads his men to fight against the Japanese, Zhou Wen not only values but also respects him very much.
When I arrived at the school gate, I saw a colonel officer in his thirties, with a medium-to-thin build, a fair and lean face, wearing a pair of glasses, and a neat military uniform. He stood quietly with his legs apart, his hands behind his back, showing his bravery.
Without losing his elegant temperament, there were several guards standing behind him carrying shell guns.
Zhou Wen rushed forward and saluted before the colonel. Then he stretched out his hand and said in Cantonese with a smile: "This must be Commander Cai. I, Zhou Wen, the commander-in-chief of the Shanxi Anti-Japanese Volunteer Army of the Central Party Headquarters, have made Cai Tuan wait for a long time. It is a mistake."
Welcome."
Before he finished speaking, he had already held Commander Cai's hand tightly.
Captain Cai was a little confused all of a sudden. This was too enthusiastic. He originally thought that his soldiers would be detained in someone else's barracks. As the party who was wronged, he was prepared to face the other party's inability to bear it.
He was prepared to reprimand and reprimand tamely. After all, he had already seen what kind of urinal officers in the Central Army who considered themselves disciples of the emperor were, but the attitude of the young colonel in front of him really made him confused.
It's said that there is a knife hidden in the smile, and then he grabs his pigtails and hits him hard? It doesn't look like it. I can see clearly whether this person's smile and attitude are fake.
At that moment, he didn't dare to make excuses, but he took out his hand and gave a solemn salute and said in Mandarin: "I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it. Cai is not strict in disciplining his subordinates, which has caused trouble to Commander Zhou. I don't dare to disturb him anymore. I will lead you now."
When people go back, they should be disciplined strictly."
Zhou Wen said with a smile: "Don't rush, don't rush. When the famous anti-Japanese hero arrives at my door, I feel uneasy if he doesn't invite him to come in and sit down."
After saying that, he took Captain Cai's hand and walked inside.
Captain Cai quickly said humbly: "Cai does not dare to be an anti-Japanese hero. The enemy invaders are all coming to the doorstep. Our soldiers resisted bravely. That is natural and unshirkable."
"What a duty-bound person. Since September 18th, those who dare to fire the first shot at the Japanese invaders in the Chinese regular army, who dare to fight against the Japanese soldiers who are known as the most powerful army in Asia, who dares to say that they are not heroes?
Not only are you a hero, Captain Cai, but also the soldiers under your command, as well as the martyrs who have fought bravely against the Japanese invaders and sacrificed their lives for the country these days, are all well-deserved heroes. They are all the soldiers of our generation.
Role model.”
When Captain Cai heard Zhou Wen talk about this, he knew that this man was also a soldier with national spirit and national justice, and a man of good temperament. The previous words were from the heart, and they were not just compliments.
I felt a little more relieved.
At that moment, I thought of the brothers who died in the battle a few days ago, and I couldn't help but sigh: "Commander Zhou has given me too much praise. We didn't think about it that much, but we just want to be honest."
Zhou Wen took Captain Cai's hand and went directly to the ammunition dump without entering the house. Looking at Captain Cai's puzzled expression, he smiled and said, "Don't punish this monkey boy after he goes back.
Although stealing bullets is not advisable, his starting point is good. He hopes that the army will have more bullets to use to fight the Japanese. Besides, he is still young and has not been in the army for a long time. The rules in the army can be taught slowly.
"
Only now did Commander Cai realize that his soldiers had not only broken into someone else's barracks, but also stolen their bullets. His fair and thin face suddenly turned red. He glared at Company Commander Zhong and the other three people, and was about to
He apologized to Zhou Wen, but Zhou Wen stretched out his hand to stop him.
Zhou Wen asked seriously: "Captain Cai, you are going to the front line tomorrow. If you respect your brothers, tell the truth. Are you running out of ammunition?"
As soon as Captain Cai saw this posture, he knew that he wanted to lend a hand, and the other party was also a senior official in the same camp. He did not worry about leaking military secrets, so he nodded and said: "Yes, in two hours, it will be necessary."
We set off to replace the 3rd Regiment, which has been fighting for several days, to rest. The ammunition has only been replenished to one-third of the wartime level, alas! I heard that the military warehouse is almost empty."
"Didn't Nanjing provide any supplement?"
"It's only been a few days. The military has told us to bite the bullet and the support supplies from Nanjing will be arriving soon."
Zhou Wen turned to Chen Wanli and said: "Wanli, go and invite old Uncle Wu to see how much we can help. We can't let the heroic and friendly troops go to the battlefield without guns and ammunition."
Watching Chen Wanli walk away quickly, Zhou Wen said to Captain Cai: "Some of our weapons are not the same as yours. We don't have round-nosed bullets made in Hanyang, but we can support you with 50,000 sharp-nosed bullets made in Czech machine guns.
There are 20,000 rounds of 9mm bullets for shell guns and flower-machine guns, and a thousand Jin-made hand grenades, what do you think?"
"How's it going?"
Captain Cai couldn't believe his ears. He looked into Zhou Wen's eyes again for consultation. Seeing Zhou Wen nod solemnly, Captain Cai's eye circles turned red. He was not moved for himself, but for his brothers who were about to go to the front line.
, with these bullets and grenades, how many fewer people can our brothers die? How many more Japanese soldiers can we kill?
Captain Cai couldn't say a word of thanks. He could only hold Zhou Wen's hand tightly and hold it hard...
At this time, Old Uncle Wu also hurried over with people from the logistics team. After hearing Zhou Wen explain the matter, he began to instruct his soldiers to carry the boxes without hesitation, and soon he finished counting the donated ammunition.
Finally, Zhou Wen added the two boxes of 11.4mm bullets that Li Xiaohou had stolen before, and said: "This is a thank you gift for Houzai. He is the one who reminded us of the loopholes in the security of the military camp. We can't do it again."
Isn’t it a waste of time for Monkey Boy to run away? As the saying goes, thieves don’t escape empty-handed.”
Everyone couldn't help but smile after hearing this, and Li Xiaohou was even blushing with shame and at a loss.
Zhou Wen chuckled and patted his shoulder and said, "I'm kidding you. Remember, you must learn from your brother and be a true warrior in the future."
"Yes! Sir, I promise you that I will become a warrior and avenge my brother."
Li Xiaohou stood at attention and promised. Although his military posture was not very standard, he was very serious...and firm.
