There are more than 1,200 tables, so the Japanese headquarters is big enough to accommodate them.
However, the Japanese headquarters did not have so many Eight Immortals tables. The officers and soldiers of the Independence Regiment, the puppet army and the New Fourth Army found many wooden boards to build tables on their own. If there were not enough stools, they simply squatted and ate.
I was busy until two o'clock in the afternoon, and the noodles were prepared one after another, and then the next brother brought them.
The soldiers, who had been fighting hard all night and hungry all night, immediately started to eat. One by one, they ate like a starving ghost reincarnated. Often a large basin of pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew was served as soon as they were served. , I saw the bottom immediately. A large basin of pork stuffed buns was just brought up, and they were all eaten in two times.
Xiao Yanyue hired dozens of chefs and hired hundreds of temporary workers to help, but he was still very busy, but he saw people shouting about adding more food here, and shouting about the empty basin on the other side. , some soldiers couldn't wait any longer, so they impatiently banged the basin with chopsticks, and the whole headquarters was in full swing.
Xu Rui likes this kind of atmosphere very much. Since it is a dinner party, it should be as lively as a dinner party. If everyone is sitting there eating lifelessly, then what else is it called a dinner party? It's a pity that there is no wine, otherwise the atmosphere would be better, but then again, Xiao Yanyue would never agree to let the officers and soldiers of the independent regiment drink alcohol. This is a matter of principle.
Xu Rui was not in a hurry to serve the food, but went from yard to yard.
If he doesn't take this opportunity to build a good relationship with the brothers of the Fourth Detachment and the remnants of the 88th Division, then Xu Rui's three years of psychology at Jinling Military Academy will be in vain. Let's not mention that the Four Detachments are friendly forces, just talk about the 88th Division. Who dares to say that these remnant soldiers will never have to deal with them again in the future
Although Luo Feng declined his recruitment this time, in the future, might there be a chance to recruit these remnant soldiers under his command? These are all veterans who have crawled out from the dead. They are all elites! Xu Rui would exchange equipment from one platoon for another, and he would rush to do so without any hesitation.
"Brothers from the fourth team have worked hard. Eat well. You must eat well."
"Brothers of the 88th Division, your performance in last night's battle is obvious to all. I have not said that you are all good. Today's meal is just to reward you. The brothers of the Independent Regiment are just taking advantage of you. You’re welcome, open it and eat it, there’s still some left after you’ve finished eating, it’s enough, haha!”
"Brothers from the Independent Regiment, don't be polite. Open up and eat."
Xu Rui turned around and turned to the front door of the Japanese headquarters. When he looked up, he saw Gao Hanting, the commander of the fourth detachment, and Xiao Huadong, the political commissar, walking in hand in hand.
Gao Hanting and Xiao Huadong had just gone to the arsenal to take inventory, so they arrived late.
Although everyone was a friendly army, Gao Hanting still had an extra thought. As soon as he entered the city, he sent his guard battalion to the arsenal. In name, it was to strengthen security. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just to be wary of Xu Rui's small tricks. Sneaking arms from the arsenal.
But to be honest, Gao Hanting was really shocked by the weapons and ammunition stored in the arsenal.
My dear, with so many weapons and ammunition, if all of them belong to the four detachments, his four detachments can immediately expand from three regiments to five regiments, and there will be no need to worry about running out of ammunition for more than half a year. Feicheng Arms The ammunition stored in the warehouse is enough for the entire four detachments to fight for most of half a year, but it is a pity that these arms have to be shared between two families.
"Hey, it seems we came at the right time, just in time for lunch." Gao Hanting laughed and said, "Captain Xu, don't tell me you didn't prepare lunch for us?"
"No way, I just forgot and no one dares to forget you, Commander Gao." Xu Rui laughed and said, "It has been prepared for you a long time ago. The banquet is prepared by the chef of Wushuanglou, but the dishes are... They're all the same, a big pot of pork and cabbage stewed with vermicelli, a big pot of fried noodles with oil, and a big pot of steamed buns stuffed with pork. If it's not enough, you'll have to add more. We don't want to be special, right?"
"Nonsense." Gao Hanting said angrily, "Do you think I am a Kuomintang officer and I have to eat something small? Let's go and lead the way. I'm really hungry."
Xu Rui chuckled and led Gao Hanting and Xiao Huadong into the headquarters' concierge.
Really, the commanders of the four detachments, the political commissar, and the leader of the independent regiment were eating in a concierge, and there were no stools. Three senior cadres and three guards each served a bowl of oily noodles. , and used a spoon to scoop a big spoonful of braised pork into the bowl, and then ate the fried noodles with pork and cabbage stewed in vermicelli.
Good guy, the six of us were squatting on the ground with bowls of noodles, just like three old farmers.
Gao Hanting ate three large bowls in a row, clasped the noodle bowl, took out a tobacco pipe from his waist, filled himself with a full pot of old cigarettes, and started smoking happily.
A pot of cigarettes after a meal is better than a living god.
Today is a really beautiful day.
However, Xu Rui ate five large bowls in a row before finally stopping his chopsticks.
Mo Zichen and Gao Hanting's guard Shi Biao were still there eating happily.
Gao Hanting couldn't bear to eat. He knocked Shi Biao with his tobacco pipe and said, "Eat, eat, eat, keep eating, as if you haven't eaten in ten thousand years. How many bowls have you eaten?"
Shi Biao replied blankly: "I only ate six bowls."
"You've only eaten six bowls, right?" Gao Hanting said, "How many more bowls do you want to eat."
Shi Biao scratched his head and said, "I can eat six more bowls of such a big bowl."
"You?!" Gao Hanting was immediately furious, "Why don't you stew yourself?"
Xu Rui smiled and said, "Commander Gao, let brother Shi Biao eat. If there is not enough food, let the people in the cooking class give you more."
"Hey, thank you, Captain Xu." Shi Biao thanked him and ate the fried noodles.
Gao Hanting shook his head and said to Xu Rui: "Since you have finished eating, we should talk about business."
Xu Rui already knew what Gao Hanting was referring to, but he deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "I don't know, what business does Commander Gao want to talk to me about?"
"You kid, don't pretend to be confused while trying to understand me." Gao Hanting said angrily, "Before the war started, we made a gentleman's agreement. Now Feicheng has been captured. Although the situation is slightly different from the previous agreement, the basic situation is still the same. There are no big changes, so naturally these benefits should be distributed according to the agreement before the war, don’t you think?”
Xu Rui smiled and said: "So Commander Gao wants to share the spoils. Yes, it's time to sit on the ground and share the spoils."
"What you say about dividing the spoils is really ugly." Gao Hanting said with a snort, "Captain Xu, we are a revolutionary team, not mountain king bandits, so this is not called dividing the spoils, it is called distribution. But before dividing the spoils, we must first Looking at the spoils of this Feicheng battle, I went around just now and found that there are three major spoils in total, the grain depot, the oil depot and the arsenal. Oh, yes, I heard that you also captured the Feicheng Power Plant, that counts as one. Sect, four major sects in total.”
"Commander Gao, isn't this right?" Xu Rui corrected, "It should be the five major sects."
"Five major sects?" Gao Hanting pretended to be stupid and asked blankly, "What is the other sect?"
Xu Rui rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Seized, the weapons and equipment seized on the battlefield count as one. This time we almost wiped out seven infantry brigades of the little devils. Seven brigades, even if half of the weapons and equipment were destroyed, There are still three and a half brigades of weapons and equipment left, which is not a small amount."
Gao Hanting began to smoke cigarettes, but secretly gave Xiao Huadong a wink.
Xiao Huadong understood and said with a smile: "Captain Xu, look at what you said, how can we share the captured weapons and equipment on the battlefield? Of course, it belongs to whoever captures it. Besides, our commander has already distributed the captured weapons and equipment to Since all the troops have joined the battle, you are too embarrassed to force our commander to take them back, right?"
In the Battle of Feicheng, the Independent Regiment and the puppet army were half-battled, but in the end, the Fourth Detachment got a big advantage. The Four Detachments were basically responsible for cleaning the battlefield. Naturally, most of the captured weapons and equipment fell into the hands of the Fourth Detachment. The detachment's pocket, these are the benefits of losing the pocket, and Gao Hanting will certainly not give it away again.
Xu Rui said: "Political Commissar, let me tell you, since whoever seized it belongs to whom, the arsenal, oil depot and grain depot were also seized by our independent regiment, and I have also taken these arms , fuel and food have been distributed to each battalion and company participating in the war, Commander Gao is too embarrassed to force me to take them back, right?"
"You want to eat alone?" Gao Hanting immediately became anxious and shouted, "There is no way."
"In this case, why don't we simply hand over all the captured items to the military headquarters, and then distribute them among the military headquarters? Commander Gao, what do you think of this method?" Xu Rui smiled slightly, and then captured Gao Hanting's army. He was sure Gao Hanting could not and did not dare to hand over these seizures to the military headquarters. If he handed them over to the military headquarters, the four detachments would be equally divided, and he would suffer a big loss.
"Okay, okay, okay, the weapons and equipment seized can be considered one, five major ones, okay?" As expected by Xu Rui, Gao Hanting finally gave in.
"Okay, then the spoils of this Feicheng battle are mainly the five major sects." Xu Ruiyi said sternly, but he was secretly laughing in his heart, because the spoils of the Feicheng battle were not the five major sects, but the six major sects. Among the five sects above, there is another big income, which is the royalties of wealthy merchants and gentry in the city.
However, Xu Rui will not share this income with others, not even the friendly forces of the four teams.
After a short pause, Xu Rui continued: "Now let's talk about how to distribute these five major trophies."
Gao Hanting immediately said: "According to the agreement before the war, you and I will be divided according to the number of troops sent and the casualty ratio. Needless to say the number of troops sent, I don't want to bully you on this, just according to the organizational structure, our four detachments have three regiments You only have one independent regiment to participate in the war. Taking into account the casualties of your independent regiment, our four detachments will get 70% and your independent regiment will get 30%. What do you think, Captain Xu? Is it interesting enough?" (To be continued.)
