"Haha, good advice, brother. It's a pity that I have a military life and I can't help myself. []" Xiang Tianhu could only say haha and quickly changed the subject, "Well, I don't know why I'm here. ? Could it be that you came here specifically to say thank you to me? Then brother, you are really out of touch."
Xiang Tianhu regards himself as his elder brother and deliberately wants to close the distance with Xu Rui.
Naturally, Xu Rui would not refuse. He already admired Xiang Tianhu. Historically, this man was a man of iron bones. Pang Bingxun, Sun Liangcheng, Shi Yousan and others also fought bloody battles with the Japanese in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War. However, in the later stages of the Anti-Japanese War, , but all of them surrendered to Japan and became traitors, but Xiang Tianhu always persisted in the war of resistance until the bloody battlefield.
Xu Rui smiled at that moment: "I really came here to express my gratitude this time, and I also prepared a small gift. I hope that I will accept it."
The cavalry battalion commander Tie Gang lost no time in waving, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion moved boxes of Japanese weapons and ammunition into the war room one after another, and piled them into piles in front of Xiang Tianhu and Yan Yuhui.
"This is?" Xiang Tianhu and Yan Yuhui looked at each other.
Xu Rui didn't say much. He stepped forward and pried open one of the boxes with a bayonet.
Xiang Tianhu and Yan Yuhui took a closer look and saw that the box was filled with yellow bullets. And looking at the specifications of the bullets, it was obviously not the 7.9mm 57mm Mauser rifle bullet, but the 6.5mm 50mm 38 cap. Rifle ammunition, that is, this big pile is all Japanese ammunition!
Xiang Tianhu and Yan Yuhui were thinking about changing into Japanese weapons, but Xu Rui sent Japanese weapons and ammunition. There was a saying, they were just dozing off, but they brought pillows. .
At that moment, Xiang Tianhu couldn't care less about being polite and said, "Brother, you have really helped me a lot."
Yan Yuhui also echoed: "Brother Xu doesn't know something. Our domestic ammunition has been exhausted and we are ready to replace it with Japanese weapons. We were worried that there was no Japanese ammunition available. Now it's better. Brother Xu has provided this Once we receive the ammunition, our 180th Division will be free to fight the Japanese again. Brother Xu, you are a great benefactor to our entire division."
Xu Rui scratched his head when he heard this, "Good guy, you are trying to block my mouth."
The domestically produced ammunition has been exhausted, I don’t believe there is any left.
Why don't you say goodbye? Xiang Tianhu and Yan Yuhui are both human beings. They are really blocking Xu Rui's mouth.
They could guess with their toes what the situation was like in the Dameishan Independent Brigade. Xu Rui sent such a large amount of Japanese weapons and ammunition. His intention was obvious. He just wanted to exchange them for domestically made ammunition. , but they also ran out of domestically made ammunition, which they couldn't give, so they simply installed Hutu.
"Brother, don't go back tonight." Xiang Tianhu came over and took Xu Rui's hand, saying loudly, "Stay and drink with me. Although it's not a good drink, it's enough."
Domestic ammunition must not be given to Xiang Tianhu, so Xiang Tianhu can only play the emotional card.
But is Xu Rui a master willing to suffer losses? He immediately smiled and said: "Brother, don't think too much. This batch of Japanese ammunition is really my thank you gift. However, in the future, if I send ammunition to my brother again, I can't give it away in vain. After all, Damei Mountain is not an independent kingdom now. You also have to be controlled, right?"
Xiang Tianhu squeaked and stood there stunned.
Yan Yuhui also scratched his head. There was something in Xu Rui's words.
What Xu Rui means is that if Lao Xiang you want to take this batch of ammunition, it is not impossible, but there will be no such good things in the future. But if Lao Xiang you are smart enough and come back, I can continue in the future. Sending Japanese weapons and ammunition to you, the price is good, we are all brothers, that’s good.
Yan Yuhui pulled Xiang Tianhu into a corner, and the two of them muttered for a long time.
Finally, Xiang Tianhu finally agreed and exchanged ammunition at a price of one to two.
"Brother, don't think that I'm a dirty player." Xiang Tianhu still felt a little guilty and said, "If I had more ammunition, I wouldn't hack your ammunition, but brother, I really don't have any It’s superfluous, but you don’t know that the Longhai Railway has been paralyzed, and I haven’t received military supplies for almost half a month.”
"Brother is serious, the price is already very fair." Xu Rui said it from his heart.
If the 180th Division does not exchange domestically-made ammunition for it, the Independence Brigade’s domestically-made weapons will become useless. Moreover, if the rifle is rotten in the pot, even if the Independence Brigade suffers a loss, even if the 180th Division takes advantage, it will Using these extra Japanese weapons and ammunition to fight the Japanese is actually the same in terms of the overall situation.
Even if all the independent brigade were to be equipped with Japanese weapons in the future, if there were surplus ammunition, Xu Rui would still be willing to use these Japanese weapons and ammunition to exchange them with the 180th Division for domestically made ammunition. If nothing else, he would rush towards Tianhu. A true anti-Japanese general, the 180th Division is a true anti-Japanese force.
Xiang Tianhu patted Xu Rui on the shoulder, and then asked Yan Yuhui to pour wine for the two of them.
After filling two tea jars with wine, Xiang Tianhu handed one of the jars to Xu Rui and said, "Brother, there's nothing left. Everything is in the wine. It's done!"
Xu Rui raised the teapot and collided heavily with Xiang Tianhu.
(Dividing line)
In the dead of night, there was silence in the labor camp on the pier of Shaqiao.
Although it was already April, it was still cold at night in Damei Mountain District. Huang Shouzhi gently pulled off the quilt. When he found that Huang Shouyi had no reaction, he pulled the entire quilt over and wrapped it around himself. With the entire quilt wrapped around his body, Huang Shouzhi was finally not so cold anymore and was in the mood to talk to Huang Shouyi.
"Second brother, are we really going to spend ten years in jail and do hard labor for ten years?"
"Ten years? You are thinking too much. In less than half a month, the imperial army will definitely counterattack Meizhen. By then, the **** will have to leave in despair, and we will continue to do whatever we should do."
"Second brother, is yours true?"
"Nonsense, why did second brother lie to you?"
"That's great. I really can't stay in this miserable labor camp for a moment."
While the brothers were talking, a soldier with a gun came over and shouted: "Shut up and go to sleep!"
Huang Shouyi and Huang Shouzhi snorted and shut up obediently. When they first entered this labor camp, the two brothers wanted to resist, but after being hungry for a long time, they immediately became obedient. There was no way. A good man will not suffer the consequences, but you Wait, when the imperial army counterattacks Meizhen, I want you to look good.
Seeing that Huang Shouyi and Huang Shouzhi stopped talking, the soldier turned back.
The labor camp is a temporary wooden fence house, similar to the Huang family's cattle shed. In addition to the Huang Shouyi brothers, there are also a dozen other stubborn local tyrants and evil gentry imprisoned in the shed. By now, those dozen local tyrants and evil gentry have already been detained. After falling asleep, brothers Huang Shouyi and Huang Shouzhi were already very tired. They closed their eyes and fell asleep soon after.
In a daze, Huang Shouyi was suddenly awakened by a slight sound.
When he opened his eyes anxiously, Huang Shouyi saw that the sentry with the gun on his back was already lying on the ground, and outside the door of the shack where they were detained, there were two ghost-like black figures. The shadow merged with the surrounding shadows, but Huang Shouyi could still see clearly that one of the dark figures was trying to open the lock.
Seeing Huang Shouyi awakened, another dark figure immediately put his finger in front of his lips and made a silent gesture.
Huang Shouyi suppressed his curiosity and waited patiently. In less than a moment, there was only a click, the iron lock was unlocked, and then the wooden fence door opened silently.
After opening the door, the dark figure gestured to Huang Shouyi, telling him to follow them.
Huang Shouyi wanted to wake up Huang Shouzhi next to him, but the black figure stopped him. Huang Shouyi had no choice but to give up. He climbed up quietly and followed the two black figures out the door, then blended into the surrounding shacks. In the shadow, we then reached the cliff edge of the sand bridge pier, and finally followed a rope down to the bottom of the valley.
These two black figures were obviously well prepared, so they did not take the heavily guarded Shangsha Bridge or Xiasha Bridge, but chose the relatively loosely guarded cliff.
After reaching the bottom, it was safe for the time being.
At this time, Huang Shouyi couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Dare I ask, are you sent by the imperial army?"
The two dark figures were immediately stunned because Huang Shouyi's speech was actually in Japanese. They obviously didn't expect that Huang Shouyi could speak fluent Japanese.
From the reactions of the two of them, Huang Shouyi knew that he had guessed correctly, and he said happily: "Hello, my name is Huang Shouyi. I once studied at Waseda University. Ura Prefecture Military Police Captain Kameda-san is my classmate and my best friend. It's just that It’s a pity that we were defeated and captured by the ***.”
"It turns out to be Huang Sang." One of the black figures said, "This is no place for talking. If anything happens, we will come back. The most important thing is to leave here as soon as possible."
"I'm afraid not yet." Huang Shouyi shook his head and said, "I have an important report."
"Important situation?" The dark figure frowned and said in a deep voice, "What's the situation?"
Huang Shouyi said: "In addition to the labor camp on Shaqiao Pier, there is also a prisoner of war camp. Many defeated and captured Imperial Army warriors were detained in the prisoner of war camp. Kameda-san was detained in that prisoner of war camp. Oh, by the way, there were also the previous ones. Major General Shigeto Chiaki, the brigade commander of the Taiwan garrison who was defeated and captured in Nantong, is also imprisoned there."
"Nani? Shigeto Chiaki?!" The two black figures finally moved.
These two dark figures are none other than Shunsi Shikahara and Tamanosuke Ito.
Kahara Junsi's face changed slightly, and he said solemnly: "Are you Chiaki Shigeto being imprisoned in the prisoner of war camp above?"
"Hai." Huang Shouyi paused heavily and said, "Yes, General Shigeto Chiaki is being held in the prisoner of war camp above. During the day, we also repaired fortifications together."
Kahara Junsi said to Ito Tamanosuke: "Ito-san, you take Huang Sang away first, I will come back as soon as I can."
"Kahara-san, you can't go alone." Tamanosuke Ito stopped him hastily, "This is too dangerous. It's not worth the risk just for a coward."
