Chapter 60 Sudden News(1/2)
Wang Zhong called Long Wenwen aside with a solemn expression. In the commando team, a figure walked out from behind Bu La and Yao Ma, wearing the clothes of the national army, but Long Wenwen still recognized the person at a glance.
"Why are you here?" Long Wenwen stood up in confusion, looked at the little bookworm and asked.
The little bookworm's face no longer had the smile that he always wore in the past, nor did he have the joy of seeing old friends again. Instead, he explained to Long Wenwen with a solemn expression: "I'm here to ask for help."
"Asking for help? What kind of assistance are you asking for?" Long Wenwen didn't understand. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party are now cooperating in the fight against Japan, the color red has always been taboo among the national army.
The little bookworm said: "The towns and villages within a hundred miles of Nantianmen are basically empty. The common people have been captured by the Japanese army. Our guerrillas have also suffered heavy losses. Master Shihang has sacrificed his life to cover our retreat.
Our team members were either captured or sacrificed, and now only the three of us, the captain and Lao Baomian, are hiding in the mountains."
"The captain sent me across the river to tell you that if the Japs arrest so many people, there will definitely be big moves. The Captain and Lao Baomian have decided to sneak into the people captured by the Japs to see what the Japs are selling in their gourds.
Yao, before leaving, the captain specifically asked me to come over and find you."
The little bookworm was talking very fast and informed the two of them about the changes in the West Bank. Wang Zhong knew part of the plot and the next big move of the Japanese army, so he reminded Master Shihang early and asked Master Shihang to always pay attention to the movements of the Japanese army.
.
But Wang Zhong didn't expect that Takeuchi Lianshan would move so quickly. With the speed of killing a bandit, Takeuchi Lianshan's plan to hollow out the entire Nantianmen had actually begun.
Long Wenwen didn't believe his ears, so he confirmed to the little bookworm: "You mean, the Japanese army captured almost all the people within a hundred miles of Nantianmen?"
"That's right!" the little bookworm said decisively: "Several members of our guerrillas were arrested in this way, and now Heshun is basically empty."
The reason why the guerrillas were able to survive behind enemy lines was to integrate into the people, so that the Japanese army could not tell which were the people who surrendered to them and which were the guerrillas. At the critical moment, they could deal a painful blow to the Japanese army.
But now that the common people have been captured by the Japanese army, the guerrillas have no place to hide and can only hide in the mountains, which greatly reduces the role they can play.
Long Wenwen immediately frowned and looked at Wang Zhong doubtfully, with questioning eyes.
"What kind of trick is Takeuchi planning to do? Nantianmen's radius of a hundred miles is not small, and there are at least tens of thousands of people in total."
"If you want such a person, he must be working on some big project." Wang Zhong said: "If you really want to figure out what he wants to do, there is only one way."
Wang Zhong turned to look in the direction of Nantianmen on the other side, and Long Wenwen instantly understood what he meant.
"When do you plan to leave?" Long Wenwen looked at Wang Zhong and asked.
"It's better to leave sooner rather than later, tonight." Wang Zhong said.
"I'll go with you." Long Wenwen immediately expressed his stance.
Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "No, you have to stay on the east coast. Ah Yi is still too simple and naive. It's okay to let him be in charge of logistics. If he is allowed to manage the entire Sichuan Army, sooner or later, someone will sell him
I’m still there helping count money.”
"Are you worried about Yu Xiaoqing?" Long Wenwen frowned.
Wang Zhongdao: "What I'm worried about is not Yu Xiaoqing, but the Yu family behind him. That Tang Ji is a smiling tiger. There are some things that Yu Xiaoqing can't bear to do, but he has no scruples."
"I must ensure that the leadership of the Sichuan Army is always in our hands. Only in this way will we not fall into passivity."
Long Wenwen naturally understood what Wang Zhong meant. Long Wenwen could not know more clearly what the upper echelons of the national army were like.
Long Wenwen knew very well that in terms of exploration, he could not keep up with Wang Zhong even if he tried to flatter him, so he said: "Bring the commando over."
"If you don't tell me, I plan to take them there," Wang Zhong said.
"If you stay on the east coast, in addition to protecting our family fortune, you also need to pay more attention to our cooperation with Mr. He."
"Where is the provincial capital?" Long Wenwen asked curiously.
Wang Zhong said disdainfully: "Over there in the provincial capital? You don't really think that bullshit commander is some kind of Bole who has a keen eye for recognizing heroes, do you?"
Long Wenwen naturally knew how many gold bars Wang Zhong had sent to the provincial capital in this short year, in exchange for the Sichuan Army's weapons and equipment that could barely be considered 'sophisticated', and in exchange for their independence from Yu Division.
numbers other than.
"Furthermore, there are so many new recruits in our regiment, and now they have no chance to fight the Japanese. If they do not undergo rigorous training, one day in the future, when we actually fight the Japanese with real swords and guns, they may become ours."
Drag, although you stay on the east coast, the burden on your shoulders is not light at all."
"Those two Americans seem to me to be really capable. With their help, I think we should be able to get the team back on track soon," Long Wenwen said.
Wang Jian nodded and said: "You can make your own decisions about these things, but there is one thing you must be prepared for."
"What are you talking about?" Long Wenwen said.
Wang Zhong did not speak directly, but whispered a few words into Long Wenwen's ear.
I saw the expression on Long Wenwen's face constantly changing over time, first surprised, then confused, and then all turned serious. He frowned and looked at Wang Zhong: "Have you decided?"
Wang Zhong met Long Wenwen's inquiring eyes and said categorically: "You and I both know the virtues of our climbers. I can't control what others think, but I have never put my hope in them.
.”
Long Wenwen looked at Wang Zhong with complex eyes, looking at those firm eyes, looking at that resolute face, feeling Wang Zhong's determination that he had already made up, Long Wenwen sighed and said with great emotion: "Now again
Give me three months, and I promise to recruit a full strength regiment for you."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Long Wenwen almost said this through gritted teeth.
But Wang Zhong frowned and said: "Three months is too long. After the team is formed, if you want to form a combat force, you need at least half a year of training and running-in, which adds up to eight months. After eight months, Huang Hua
The dishes are cold."
"You don't know how difficult it is to recruit troops now. Almost all the defeated troops near Zenda have been recruited. Three months is already a conservative estimate. Where can I fill the gap of more than a thousand people for you?"
Long Wenwen was also helpless, as long as there were only more than a thousand people, the most important thing was more than a thousand young men. Needless to say, young men are scarce these days. They serve as soldiers, farm, and mine jade and jade.
There is no need to be young for transportation.
Wang Zhong naturally knew the difficulty of Long Wenwen, and saw his eyes flickering, staring in the direction of the west bank and saying: "I also know that this matter is a bit difficult for you, but time waits for no one, we want to accomplish that thing
, you must seize the time."
Long Wenwen sighed again: "I'll try my best."
Wang Zhong added: "Infantry is easy to talk about, but artillery is what we lack most right now. We can't build an artillery battalion, but we can build an artillery company. If we think about it, we should be able to do it."
"What can you do?" Long Wenwen looked at Wang Zhong in confusion.
Wang Zhongdao: "Don't we have two anti-aircraft guns? I'm gone, and no one can use those things. You can think of a way to see if you can use them to exchange for a few more mountain cannons from Yu Xiaoqing. It's really not possible. Large-caliber
A mortar will do, too.”
Long Wenwen's eyes lit up: "This method is feasible. I will try to think of a way later and see how to do it."
Naturally, Yu Xiaoqing, who was miles away, didn't know that two shrewd guys had already set their sights on him.
The two of them discussed in the woods for nearly half an hour before coming out.
The members of the commando team have already received Wang Zhong's order a long time ago. They will have a day off today and will meet again at ten o'clock in the evening.
Bu La and Yao Ma took the money that Wang Zhong had advanced to them, and also roped in Li Liansheng and others. A large group of people entered Zenda City.
After drinking and eating, and filling up the temple of the five internal organs, everyone laughed and formed a group to go for fun.
When the sun turned to the west and was covered by the distant mountains, night fell. Bu La and others who had been playing all day suddenly appeared on the streets of Zenda, talking to each other and exchanging their experiences along the way.
They rushed towards the position outside the city one after another.
At this time, Wang Zhong was at Xiao Zui's house in the east of the city. After having dinner with Xiao Zui, he checked the health of Meng Fanle's parents, prescribed some medicine, and gave Xiao Zui some precautions.
Back at the pharmacy, Xiao Zui suddenly said: "Brother, are you going on a mission again?"
Wang Zhong nodded and said: "Yes!"
"And this time I go, I don't know when I can come back."
"You want to cross the river?" Xiao Zui immediately guessed where Wang Zhong was going.
"The news came back from the West Bank that the Japanese have captured tens of thousands of people, but we haven't yet figured out what big moves they will make. We can't just sit back and wait for death. We must find out what the Japanese troops are doing."
Wang Zhong explained.
After hearing this, Xiao Zui lowered his head silently, and after a while he spoke again: "Brother, be careful, I'll wait for you in the house when you come back."
Wang Zhong smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't you know what your brother and I are capable of? I haven't taken any notice of the little devil's broken spears yet."
"By the way, it's still the same. If anything happens, just tell the veterinarian directly."
"Brother, you don't have to worry about me, Grandpa Hao is very kind to me." Xiaozui forced a smile and said sweetly.
Wang Zhong raised his hand and rubbed her head: "I have already agreed with Vet Hao that after those wounded soldiers recover, you will follow him to join the Sichuan Army and become a military doctor accompanying the army. Although you have learned medical skills
It’s not that good yet, but I’m pretty good at treating trauma and taking care of the wounded. I’ll give you a few assistants when the time comes.”
"Really?" Xiaozui's watery eyes lit up instantly, like the originally dim stars in the dark night, suddenly emitting a bright light. Although not dazzling, it was very beautiful and extremely eye-catching.
But then she became a little worried and said anxiously: "But my medical skills are still half-full. What if I join the army and become a military doctor and hold you back?"
"Silly girl! Your worries are completely unnecessary. Do you know how much shortage of doctors there is in frontline troops like ours? If a war breaks out, the wounded will not be one or two, but more than a dozen at once.
, dozens.”
"Not to mention one person, even a dozen doctors may not be able to do it together. Many of our soldiers were not beaten to death by the little devils, but were injured but did not receive timely treatment, and they bled to death.
Yes, some were even tortured to death."
"A nurse who knows a little basic medical knowledge, knows how to disinfect and stop bleeding, and bandage wounds, can he save the lives of many wounded people on the battlefield?"
"What's more, you have studied with me for so long and have rich practical experience in field hospitals. You are the medical staff most lacking in frontline troops like us."
