Luo Fugui likes to stay in the bunker, not only because it is safe and quiet, but also because most of the bunker is dug underground and is under the dense shade of trees, so it is much cooler than the houses on the open space of the wine station. Except for the more mosquitoes, it is really a good place to escape the summer heat.
At this moment, the bear was lying on a tattered straw mat on the floor of the bunker, watching with boredom as the spider was weaving a new web on the roof beam.
The machine gun was tilted on the shooting platform. Zhao Liang sat on a wooden stool specially made according to the height. He looked out from the shooting holes in three directions from time to time, holding a broken cattail leaf fan made from a mat in his hand, waving it from time to time.
"Sergeant, why do I always feel that the platoon leader is so, so, so cold? It's never warm when I'm with him." Zhao Liang said as he looked out.
The bored bear thought about it and suddenly whispered, "Since you are my brother, I will tell you a secret today."
The stuttering Zhao Liang perked up after hearing this, turned his head and stared with his eyes wide open and his ears pricked up.
"In fact, Boss Hu is not a human being at all!"
"… "
"He's a dead man. He's a ghoul."
"What?"
"Shh—Grandma, keep your voice down!"
"he… "
"Why don't you think about it? Why do you feel cold when you see him in such a hot summer? Why do you feel cold? Who is so cold? Hmm? You are so stubborn. What's the point of having a brain?"
"I..." The bear's seriousness made Zhao Liang feel a chill down his spine. He couldn't help but recall something and shuddered again.
"Back then... Secretary Su got a Taishang Laojun Talisman from somewhere... Later, in the middle of the rainy night, the desolate grave in the mass grave was opened, and with a loud thunderclap, a hand stretched out... "
With a thud, the stuttering Zhao Liang fell off the stool, his mouth wide open, not feeling any pain.
Seeing that the audience was engrossed, Luo Fugui simply stood up from his seat, preparing to add body language to make his lies more dramatic, but suddenly he stopped and stared at the shooting hole without blinking.
"Yes, yes, then what? Tell me quickly." Zhao Liang was extremely anxious.
"This kid is back!" Luo Fugui murmured while staring at the shooting hole.
Zhao Liang quickly got up and lay down on the shooting position to watch.
Across the open space, a thin Eighth Route Army soldier was standing there. His dirty, baggy uniform made him look dusty and sweaty, and he was looking over here stupidly.
"Who is this?"
Luo Fugui did not answer, but turned around and left the bunker, walked out of the dense forest and appeared on the open ground. He shouted to the other side: "What are you standing there for, you little loser? Are you waiting for me to kill you? Come here quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the young Eighth Route Army soldier trotted across the open space and came to the tall Luo Fugui. He raised his wide sleeves, which were rolled up several times but still too long, to wipe the sweat off his dirty face, which ended up becoming even dirtier. "Squad leader."
The big, sturdy bear looked down at the young, dirty face in front of him that was filled with happiness. He was silent for a long time before he managed to speak: "Go ask Li Xiang to get you some food. Ask for more. And bring some snacks back for me, the squad leader."
…
Some soldiers stood in the shade of the tree, whispering to each other, looking at the big tree in the middle of the open space from afar. The platoon leader sat at the table under the tree, listening to what Xu Xiaoli, who had just returned to the team, was saying in front of him.
“… Later, I brought Dr. Zhou to the group and came back.”
"She's going to set up a hospital in Dabei Village?"
"Well, she said that. The regiment commander and the political commissar were very happy."
"Then why did she come alone?"
"It seems... the division said that things are difficult right now and we need to wait a little longer, so she got angry and came here on her own. Platoon leader, is Doctor Zhou more powerful than the division commander? I think the division commander was choked by her and couldn't speak!"
"She... How could she be better than the division commander? The division commander was just giving her a break." Hu Yi then placed his eyes on Xu Xiao's waist, looked at the worn-out military bugle and asked, "Where did this come from?"
"Doctor Zhou asked me to learn from the buglers every day. I have only learned five bugle calls now."
Doctor Zhou was really influential. To be eligible, one had to be at least a company-level signalman to apply to learn to use a bugle. She relied on her reputation to get a bugle for Xu Xiao, a young soldier in the hospital.
"Show me the bugle."
Xu Xiao took off the bugle, then carefully took out a beautiful copper-yellow mouthpiece from his arms, carefully connected it to the bugle and handed it over.
Looking at the military bugle, Hu Yi thought of the bugler he met in the ward and the dream he had. There were still obvious bullet marks on this worn-out copper bugle. I wonder how many brave owners who dared to face the wind it had lost.
He sighed and asked Xu Xiao: "Why do you like this?"
"I like to listen to it. When it sounds, I don't feel small anymore."
After thinking for a while, Hu Yi smiled faintly and handed the bugle back to Xu Xiao carefully: "You will become a giant like a mountain, and you will not be blown down by the wind."
Xu Xiao didn't know what the platoon leader meant and smiled shyly.
At this time, the girl came out of her room holding a set of belts, weapon belts, bullet boxes and other things, and carrying a Type 38 rifle on her back. She came clumsily under the tree, threw the things on the table, and then took off the Type 38 rifle and handed it to Xu Xiao: "These are yours."
Xu Xiao's dirty face was full of surprise. He looked at the rifle in his hand, then at the table. The sheathed bayonet, the bulging bullet box, and the sturdy and majestic belt dazzled him.
"Can you carry it?" the little girl asked with a smile.
Xu Xiao nodded vigorously.
"Then I'll give you a few more grenades!" The little girl turned around and prepared to go back to her room.
At this time, Hu Yi, with a frown on his face, spoke up: "Girl, let's forget about the hand grenade. Now, go get the two Mauser pistols I left at home."
This time when he went into the city to kill someone, Hu Yi got a brand new blued M1932, which he couldn't let go of, so he decided to distribute the two original Mauser pistols. Now that Xu Xiao is back, one of them will be given to him, and the other one, Hu Yi decided to give to Chen Chong.
The little girl blinked her eyes and understood what Hu Yi meant. So she walked towards Hu Yi's residence while saying to Xu Xiao: "I'll give you another three feet of red cloth to hang the bugle call later. You'll be exhausted! Hehehe..."
The new recruits not far away were drooling, their eyes were green with envy, and they were muttering to each other.
"Aren't they saying that there is a shortage of weapons? Let alone guns, we don't even have uniforms. How come all these uniforms are piled on this skinny boy? This is unfair! Where is justice? It's a blatant waste!"
A few soldiers who happened to be passing by heard this, and one of them said, "Those are from Squad Nine, do you understand?"
Another person followed up, "People have died before, that's what they got in exchange for their lives."
The third person who passed by said, "Don't underestimate me. I was the first to achieve great success in the battle of Yamaguchi. Alas, it's a pity that I didn't get to be a laborer at that time."
The last soldier made a final statement as he passed by the new recruits: "Behave yourself, new recruits! You have no say in the ninth platoon now!"
The recruits shut up and were speechless. The 9th Platoon was indeed a backward and unscrupulous unit. Should freedom of speech be taken away too? So sad!
…
The ninth platoon held another meeting. The meeting place was still the long wooden table under the big tree. There were still six participants, but the platoon leader Hongying was replaced by Hu Yi. The seating arrangement was also a little different from the last time. Last time, they sat in pairs of three, but this time, they sat in pairs of five. Hu Yi sat alone on one side, and none of the five squad leaders came to sit next to him.
Liu Jianqiang didn't want to sit next to Hu Yi, because he didn't want others to think that he was a bootlicker; Shi Cheng didn't want to sit next to Hu Yi, because he was traditional and thought that seats should be arranged according to rank, the platoon leader is the platoon leader, and the squad leader is the squad leader; Chen Chong was a guest, so Chen Chong was embarrassed to sit next to Hu Yi as it was not her turn; Luo Fugui's reason was the simplest, because it was safer to stay away from Boss Hu and avoid being kicked; Ma Liang originally didn't care, but when he saw that everyone was here, he thought it would be awkward for him to go to Hu Yi alone, so he had to follow the crowd.
Chen Chong found that the atmosphere was also different. When the meeting started, no one spoke. Everyone waited quietly. It made it seem like they were waiting for an order rather than a meeting.
He held a towel in his hand and carefully wiped the pocket watch. The little girl had played with it a lot during the days when he was away from home, and the dial and case were full of her handprints. He wiped it until it was shiny, then threw the towel on the table, closed the pocket watch and put it in his pocket.
Hu Yi scanned the five faces opposite him, and finally stopped at Liu Jianqiang's face, and said lightly: "Runny Nose, since you asked for a meeting, then you speak first."
Liu Jianqiang then stood up and talked about the ten prisoners sent by the second company. He then expressed his opinion and hoped that Platoon Leader Hu Yi would make the decision.
Hu Yi tilted his head, looked at the shadows of the trees for a while, and then said, "I don't have any idea either. Let's send them to the other side and let the militia watch them while I think about it."
Several squad leaders looked at each other, but there was still no answer, so Liu Jianqiang sat down helplessly.
Ma Liang stood up and said, "Even if we don't count the ten prisoners, there are now ten new recruits assigned to the regiment. Chen Chong's squad also has ten soldiers. We have to find a way to get weapons and uniforms for these twenty people."
Hu Yi looked at Chen Chong's tattered clothes, and Chen Chong blushed and lowered her head.
"That's a problem. Weapons... It seems there are two rifles, but there are definitely no uniforms. The regiment doesn't have any, so how can we get them?" Hu Yi turned his gaze back to Ma Liang. Since this kid raised this question, there must be something behind it.
Seeing that Hu Yi stopped talking, Ma Liang continued, "I was wondering... can we take down the artillery tower in front of us? If we can take it down, we will have guns and uniforms."
"Do you plan to let the new recruits wear Japanese clothes or puppet army clothes?" Luo Fugui asked with a squint.
Ma Liang smiled and said, "No need for the hat. Sister Sun and the others made some dyes. It will be almost the same after dyeing. As for the fabrics for the hat, there is not much. We can always find a way."
At this time, Liu Jianqiang also stood up and said, "I support Ma Liang's idea! If we can destroy the artillery tower, it will be equivalent to breaking the blockade, and the Japanese will not be able to rebuild it so quickly."
"As long as I say I'll beat you, I won't disagree!" Luo Fugui turned his neck and stopped talking. Boss Hu was not a democratic platoon leader, so Luo Fugui was not interested in expressing his objection.
Hu Yi looked at Ma Liang and Liu Jianqiang expressionlessly for a while, feeling a little puzzled. Before, the two of them were just talking to each other, and then Liu Jianqiang proposed a meeting. When did they learn to cooperate? Want to attack the artillery tower
"If it's exchanging human lives for clothes, I'm not interested. If it's exchanging human lives for human lives, I have to see if it's worth it. So... you two should come up with a plan for me first. Meeting adjourned!"
Liu Jianqiang and Ma Liang couldn't help but look at each other. It seemed that what the platoon leader said was true...
