Xu Hu's departure caused the two people in the room to fall into silence again.
Zhou Weiguo looked Ding Wei up and down, not knowing what he wanted to see.
Ding Wei saw this and asked with a smile: "Brother Zhou, what are you looking at? I'm not a girl. Is there anything wrong with my face?"
Zhou Weiguo was not embarrassed, he cupped his fists and said, "Brother Ding is joking, Captain Ding is famous in northwest Shanxi, so of course I want to take a good look.
We had a quick farewell last time and didn't have much chance to have a good talk with Brother Ding."
"Brother Zhou is serious. I wonder what you want to talk about?" Ding Wei asked.
Zhou Weiguo thought for a moment and asked: "Seeing that Brother Ding is so young, I wonder what grade you were born in Huangpu. I left in a hurry last time and didn't have time to ask you."
Ding Wei's outstanding talent made Zhou Weiguo subconsciously think that Ding Wei, like him, was a graduate of Huangpu several times earlier than him.
But Ding Wei's next answer was far beyond Zhou Weiguo's expectations.
"Brother Zhou is joking. I, Ding Wei, am an old man and have never been to Huangpu." Ding Wei said with a smile.
"To be honest, don't laugh at me. I don't even know which way the Huangpu gate opens."
"What?" Zhou Weiguo's tone changed drastically: "How is this possible!"
After finishing speaking, Zhou Weiguo realized that his tone was somewhat inappropriate and explained: "Brother Ding, I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything else, just..."
Zhou Weiguo didn't know how to explain it for a while.
"Does it feel a little incredible?" Ding Wei didn't care and said with a smile: "How can a rustic old hat still fight?"
Zhou Weiguo blushed and said, "It doesn't matter where a hero comes from. Brother Ding is indeed extraordinary."
In fact, Ding Wei's outstanding military talents did surprise the proud Zhou Weiguo.
After all, I was one of the best graduates of Huangpu Ninth Class, and after completing my studies at the military academy, I did not join the army. Instead, I went to Germany for further study, and later became a battalion commander directly.
"A good hero doesn't ask where he comes from." Ding Weiwei said with a smile: "If it weren't for the fact that I still have a mission, I would really like to have a good drink with Brother Zhou."
"Brother Ding was joking. When the war is won, we will have plenty of opportunities to drink together!" Zhou Weiguo said with a smile.
In the end, the two talked about domestic matters and foreign countries, from situation analysis to battlefield deployment. The more they talked, the more they felt like each other.
Some of Ding Wei's advanced tactical thinking inspired Zhou Weiguo a lot.
"Brother Ding, I heard that you commanded the battle at Rencheng?" Zhou Weiguo asked tentatively.
"That's right, it's me. It's just a small thing, not worth mentioning." Ding Wei waved his hand and said indifferently.
Just a trivial matter?
Zhou Weiguo twitched the corner of his mouth twice and asked: "I heard from the division commander that the tactics you used in Rencheng were street fighting. Brother Ding doesn't know it yet. Your theory of street fighting and urban warfare caused quite a stir in the army.
Your battle report has been used as a study material, and cadres at regiment level and above are studying it, and there are even rumors that it will become a study course in military academies."
Ding Wei smiled and did not answer.
Zhou Weiguo asked again: "Brother Ding, from whom did you learn your street fighting tactics and urban combat theory?"
Zhou Weiguo had studied the theory of street fighting in Germany and used it when defending Nanjing, but it was just a small test and could not be compared with Ding Wei, who had made a name for himself on the battlefield.
"I have nothing to do but figure it out." Ding Wei said casually: "When I have nothing to do, I will do offensive and defensive training in the base area. Over time, I figured out something."
"Guessing..." Zhou Weiguo looked at Ding Wei suspiciously, but saw that Ding Wei's face was sincere and did not look like he was talking nonsense at all.
Zhou Weiguo asked unwillingly: "Brother Ding, you really have never attended a military academy. Where is Baoding Military Academy or Yunnan Military Academy?"
Immediately, without waiting for Ding Wei to answer, Zhou Weiguo rejected the answer. His age did not match, and only the older ones were famous.
If he really graduated from this place, it would be impossible for Zhou Weiguo not to know Ding Wei.
It seems that there are really such talented people in the world who are born to fight.
Seeing the expression on Zhou Weiguo's face constantly changing, Ding Wei secretly thought it was funny.
"Brother Ding, if we have a chance in the future, we must have a good exchange." Zhou Weiguo said solemnly, cupping his fists.
"It's easy to talk about." Ding Wei said with a smile.
Just as he was talking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. It was Xu Hu who was back.
It wasn't until Xu Hu came back that Zhou Weiguo discovered that several hours had passed unknowingly while talking to Ding Wei.
"Huzi, what did the teacher say?" Zhou Weiguo asked hurriedly.
Xu Hu spread his hands and said helplessly: "The teacher said that this possibility cannot be ruled out and let us decide what to do."
"What is it that we are left to do on our own?" Zhou Weiguo asked subconsciously.
He never expected that the teacher would reply like this.
"The teacher said that he doesn't ask about the process, only the results." Xu Hu replied.
Then, Xu Hu imitated the teacher's tone and said: "Xu Hu, go and tell Zhou Weiguo not to ask me about such trivial matters."
After a pause, Xu Hu said helplessly: "Time is urgent, there is no time to identify the authenticity of the intelligence..."
Hearing this, Zhou Weiguo's expression froze. According to the information provided by Ding Wei, the little devil was preparing to transport him the day after tomorrow.
Excluding the time for tactical deployment, they only had a little more than one day.
Their spy has already risked his life to pass on this information, and any further contact will definitely put him in danger.
Zhou Weiguo looked at Ding Wei and fell into deep thought.
Teacher, what this means is that you can trust Ding Wei's words?
But when I went back to the hotel to sleep and overheard this information, the process was a bit ridiculous.
But if this information is true, then he has just watched his treasures being smuggled away by the Japanese.
Zhou Weiguo cannot afford to lose this face.
"Huzi." Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Xu Hu stood up and said.
"Go back to Hutou Mountain immediately and order the Third Battalion and Ninth Company to lead the troops to the Jiaoji Railway Line to investigate the situation near the railway line." Zhou Weiguo said solemnly.
"Remember, you must reconnoiter carefully and don't miss a single stone. If you find something is wrong, evacuate immediately and don't waste time there!"
"Understood!" Xu Hu stood up to accept the order and ran away quickly.
"Wait a minute, there is one more thing." Ding Wei called to Xu Hu.
"What else is there?" Zhou Weiguo frowned slightly and asked.
"Brother Zhou, if I guess correctly, do you want to mobilize an independent group to ambush the Japanese train halfway?" Ding Wei asked.
"Otherwise?" Zhou Weiguo said matter-of-factly: "What do you think, brother Ding?"
"I just think this is inappropriate." Ding Wei said directly.
"Isn't it appropriate?" Zhou Weiguo said in a bad tone: "Brother Ding, although I know that you have good combat ability, but you are gesticulating here as soon as you come here. Isn't it unreasonable?
If you have any idea, just say it directly. If you can convince me, I will believe you. If you don't, then stop talking nonsense here."
Ding Weidao: "The Japs' transportation route this time is in southern Shandong. I remember there is a guerrilla group in southern Shandong. The current captain is Liu Jinhai and the political commissar is Du Hong?"
"That's right."
Zhou Weiguo nodded: "There is indeed a railway guerrilla group in Lunan. I have cooperated with them several times. Their capabilities are indeed not weak."
"Since that's the case, it's easy. Let's contact them and cooperate with them again."
Ding Wei said with a smile: "As far as I know, the railway guerrillas are very good at railway operations. If they help, our operations will be much smoother."
Although the Zhou Weiguo Independent Regiment is not bad in combat effectiveness, because it has been in Hutou Mountain all year round, it mostly fights positional warfare and mobile warfare.
Moreover, the independent group's goal is too big. Once they start taking action, once the little devils notice it, they will definitely be more alert, and they may change their plans urgently.
The reason is very simple. The independent regiment rarely takes care of things on the railway. At most, it just ambush the Japanese transport convoy.
"Brother Ding, there is no need to trouble the friendly forces, just let our independent group take action." Zhou Weiguo said.
Ding Wei shook his head, refused, and expressed his concerns.
"The Hutoushan Independent Regiment's goal is too big. Once they notice that you are taking action and are marching towards the railway, they may change their plans," Ding Weidao said.
"But the railway guerrillas are different. They fight near the railway all year round. They usually appear and disappear. Their team size is small and they have rich combat experience."
"Besides, the supplies on the train are very important this time and there can't be any mistakes." Seeing Zhou Weiguo's silence, Ding Wei continued.
After saying that, Ding Wei said half-jokingly: "Brother Zhou may have forgotten what the train is transporting. If it is ordinary supplies, we will just take action.
But this time they are all antique calligraphy and paintings, and the division commander personally ordered that no damage be allowed. Your independent regiment has strong combat capabilities and sufficient equipment.
This battle needs to be fought quickly. If you don't stop during the fight, I don't need to say more about how the division commander will deal with you.
If you want to fight this battle, your hands and feet will definitely be tied up, and the fight will be very awkward. In this case, why not cooperate with friendly forces.
And even if you get in, it will be inconvenient for us to retreat later. Once the enemy sends a distress message, a large number of Japanese soldiers will definitely come to surround us.
It will be very difficult to break out of the encirclement at that time, let alone bring these antiques with you. I don’t need to explain how complicated the situation near the railway is."
Zhou Weiguo was speechless for a long time after hearing this. He really had no way to refute this point.
"In that case, let's ask our brothers from the railway guerrillas to help us fight together!" Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and said.
With that said, Zhou Weiguo looked at Xu Hu and said: "Huzi, you go back to Hutoushan immediately and arrange for the Third Battalion and Ninth Company to lead troops to the Jiaoji Railway Line as soon as possible to scout the situation near the railway line."
"Captain, what about you?" Xu Hu scratched his head and asked.
Zhou Weiguo said in a deep voice: "Brother Ding is not familiar with this. I want to get in touch with Captain Liu and the others as soon as possible and agree on a meeting place. Stop talking so much nonsense."
With that said, Zhou Weiguo waved his hand, and the two of them were about to get up.
"Brother Zhou, wait a minute!" Ding Wei suddenly called out to Zhou Weiguo.
"What's wrong, Brother Ding, is there anything else?" Zhou Weiguo asked.
Ding Wei looked at Xu Hu and said with a smile: "There is indeed one thing, Brother Zhou, I think you, Brother Xu Hu, are pretty good.
I don’t know if Brother Zhou can bear the pain and leave Brother Xu Hu with me, I’m willing to trade a company’s equipment for him.”
"Ah?" Xu Hu was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Ding Wei, who had only met him three times, would actually make plans for him.
Among Snow Leopards, Xu Hu is a real god of war and very loyal. He was originally Fang Shengli's bodyguard, and later he always followed Zhou Weiguo.
He was extremely capable in individual combat, and later became a member of the Snow Leopard Commando, following Zhou Weiguo in his expeditions to the north and south.
Hearing that Ding Wei was targeting Xu Hu, Zhou Weiguo's expression tightened and he said seriously: "Brother Ding is joking, Xu Hu is my brother from birth to death.
Let alone a company, even if you give me the equipment of a battalion, I will not exchange Xu Hu for you. Brother Ding, it is better not to take advantage of my brother."
Xu Hu also shook his head hurriedly and said: "Captain Ding, I am Commander Zhou's soldier, and I will be Commander Zhou's soldier all my life. Xu Hu thanked Captain Ding here for giving me face, but I will not leave Commander Zhou."
.”
Ding Wei smiled nonchalantly and stopped worrying about Xu Hu. He just casually mentioned that since Zhou Weiguo didn't want to, forget it.
The two left one after another.
Qiu Chan waited for the two people to leave, then walked out and said with a smile: "Old Ding, you are really poaching his people as soon as you come up. You do it in front of others. Aren't you afraid that he will fall out?"
"Isn't it inappropriate to poach people behind their backs?" Ding Wei said with a smile.
"There is also movement among the Japanese troops in Shanxi. The brigade commander said to resolve the matter here as soon as possible and then report back to Shanxi." Qiu Chan said.
Ding Wei nodded and said: "Call back to the brigade commander and tell him that we will return to the team as soon as possible after rescuing these cultural relics."
"Okay!" Qiu Chan nodded and asked: "What about this pharmacy? You don't want to build an intelligence network, we have just started.
Moreover, the first batch of medicines has not been delivered, so what if we just leave like this, what if the enemy notices us?"
"Forget it, let the Independent Group take advantage of the contact point and give it to Zhou Weiguo and the others to take care of it. This place itself is their contact point.
Because we retreated in time, we were not attacked, not to mention that we are now wearing the Japanese's skin, so as long as we are more cautious in the future, there will be no problems."
Ding Wei thought carefully for a while and then said: "As for accepting the goods, let's leave one person here to be responsible for contacting that Japanese guy in Tanaka."
Qiu Chan said: "Old Ding, why don't I just stay here."
"No!" Ding Wei looked serious and refused directly: "You have been exposed to the Japanese army. If we meet a kid who has seen you, we will have to reveal the secret after a little investigation.
Whether it is for your safety or the safety of the site, you cannot take this risk.
Besides, if you stay here for a long time, who will you belong to in the future? What if I transfer you back and they are unwilling to let you go?
I am not willing to hand over such a good intelligence officer to anyone else."
"Fuck you." Qiu Chan said coquettishly and lightly patted Ding Wei on the shoulder.
Time passed minute by minute, and soon it was evening, and Zhou Weiguo also returned again.
The first thing Zhou Weiguo said when he saw Ding Wei was: "You are right, there are indeed Japanese troops ambushing them near the Jiaoji Railway. I have already asked the soldiers to retreat."
Ding Wei nodded slightly, he had long expected this result.
With Zhou Weiguo's temperament, he would definitely not do this. He knew that there was a trap in front of him, but he still had to try the real Chun Si.
Zhou Weiguo's second sentence lifted Ding Wei's spirit even more.
"The guerrillas have been contacted, and they made an appointment near Tugou to discuss the matter."
