"Captain Ma, tell me if it's okay, please tell me. If it's not okay, we'll leave. We don't have much time to pick mushrooms with you." Yu Dazhi looked impatiently at Ma, who lowered his head and said nothing.
Datong, these Eighth Route guerrillas are too tough. If my husband hadn't forced me to persuade these guys, I wouldn't have rushed more than 10 miles to come to Houjiaji to ask for help. Today is already the third day.
It's noon. If it still doesn't work, I will go back with my mercenaries, otherwise I won't be able to catch up with the action in a few days.
"Brother Yu, don't be anxious. Didn't I send people to ask for instructions from my superiors? Wait, wait." Ma Datong brought another bowl of water to Yu Dazhi with a smile. The intelligence agent sent had already left.
It's been all morning, and according to the intelligence agent's schedule, he should be back now. If the man in front of him hadn't brought people to help him last time, the entire guerrilla team might have died on that Horseshoe Ridge.
Besides, although it is a bit far to go to help this time, people said that if one person goes there, he will be given a gun and 100 rounds of ammunition, and if there are more than 100 people, a machine gun will be added. How can such a good thing be done now?
"Captain, captain, the superior is here." The intelligence officer who was sent by Ma Datong to ask for instructions from his superior ran in, followed closely by Tang Tianming, secretary of the district party committee. Ma Datong stood up to greet him, but Yu Dazhi remained seated.
They didn't move on the kang. The middle-aged man dressed as a farmer who suddenly came in was an officer of their guerrilla army, but he couldn't control himself, so Yu Dazhi, who had been waiting anxiously, didn't show a good face.
"Brother Yu, this is Secretary Tang Tianming of our district committee. Now, for your sake, our Secretary Tang is here." Yu Dazhi has been sitting still. The worldly Ma Datong naturally knows that Yu
What was Dazhi thinking in his mind? He immediately stretched out his hand to pull Yu Dazhi off the kang, and sat down to introduce Yu Dazhi and Tang Tianming. After ambushing the Japanese army with Yu Dazhi at Matiling, Ma Datong had always been concerned about Dazhi's group.
He never forgot that compared with others, his guerrillas were worse than others in carrying people's shoes, so Ma Datong became much more enthusiastic about his ambition in words.
Tang Tianming, the district party secretary who was born in the underground party, has not been in charge of the Houjiaji guerrillas for a long time. He has not really experienced a confrontation with the Japanese army, and he is not aware of the desperate battle between the guerrillas on Matiling Ridge a few days ago.
Fighting, as soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Dazhi, who was also dressed as a farmer and sitting cross-legged on the kang. To be honest, his first impression of Dazhi was not very good. In his subconscious, he felt that this appearance
It seems that this man with a charlatan attitude is not an easy person to get along with.
"Secretary Tang, I'm here to borrow troops." Yu Dazhi patiently told Tang Tianming the conditions for borrowing troops that Zhao Zhi had ordered. Although he was extremely reluctant, he still tactfully suggested that he wanted more this time.
Borrow some people, but the prerequisite is that the people borrowed must be people who have fought in wars and seen blood. If you get back a bunch of useless people and have to spare people to take care of them, then your trip will be considered
Come for nothing.
"Borrowing troops, are you the Kuomintang or the Jinsui Army?" Tang Tianming was shocked after hearing Yu Dazhi's narration. His first reaction was that the man in front of him was joking. Although the Kuomintang and the Communist Party were now cooperating in the war of resistance, but
To a large extent, the Eighth Route Army is self-reliant in terms of territory and equipment. Even if the Eighth Route Army cooperates with the Shanxi-Sui Army or the Kuomintang once or twice, it is done amid mutual suspicion and wariness. Like
It was the first time that Tang Tianming saw Yu Dazhi opening his mouth like this to borrow troops.
"Don't ask us what we do. We are not the Communist Party or the Jinsui Army. Anyway, we have killed as many Japanese and Imperial Army troops as you. Since you are the leader of Captain Ma and the others, then just say, this soldier
Can I borrow it?" Tang Tianming's carelessness made Yu Dazhi a little unhappy, and while he was talking, he was already packing his things and getting ready to leave.
There are many people in Zhao Zhi's mercenary team who are literate like Tang Tianming. Ye Kong came back from a German university and was still a brother to Yu Dazhi. Therefore, Yu Dazhi did not treat him as well as Ma Datong and the others.
Tang Tianming, a scholar, should have respect for Yu Dazhi, but this problem that seemed to be no problem made Tang Tianming feel grudge in his heart, and even the last good impression he had towards Dazhi was gone.
Seeing that Tang Tianming kept a straight face and said nothing, Yu Dazhi also became angry. He turned to look at Ma Datong who looked embarrassed and said with a smile, "If it doesn't work, forget it, Old Ma, don't say that we didn't think about you guerrillas this time.
The spoils of war have nothing to do with you." Yu Dazhi whistled, and several strong men jumped out from the trees and roofs outside the yard, each of them holding a gun in his hand. The sudden appearance of the men made him
Tang Tianming felt even more unhappy. Looking at the expressions of Ma Datong and others, it seemed that the guerrillas didn't even know when these people climbed up the tree.
"Mr. Yu, what are you doing? You brought a gun into the area controlled by our guerrillas, but you didn't tell us in advance what to do if there was a fire and someone was injured." Tang Tianming had never seen the weapons in the hands of Yu Dazhi and the others.
Guns, but this does not prevent him from knowing that those guns are good things.
"Fuck you, uncle. I've been putting up with you for a long time. You've been complaining since I walked in. If you don't want to borrow troops, just say so. Why are you making so many excuses?" Yu Dazhi was thorough this time.
Angry, he ignored Ma Datong's pull and scolded Tang Tianming directly, "It was a waste of half an hour. In this half hour, we have walked out for several miles. Damn it, let's waste all the damn time."
"What happened?" Yu Dazhi spat fiercely on the ground, greeted the Chinese mercenaries who came with him, and left without looking back.
"Don't even look at it. We don't even know who the other party is. How can we lend people to them? What if they are bandits? I don't believe that your guerrillas can't get guns. The ambush at Matiling last time
Wasn't it a good fight?" Tang Tianming called back Ma Datong and the guerrillas who were looking at the backs of Yu Dazhi and the others.
"Secretary Tang, what a good opportunity has been wasted like this. Our guerrillas and the nearby militia can gather at least more than 100 people. That is more than 100 guns with tens of thousands of rounds of bullets, and a machine gun. Well, this
There's not even a hair on my lower body." Ma Datong looked at Yu Dazhi and the others leaving with some frustration, and said to himself, if you, Secretary Tang, knew that the last ambush at Matiling was someone else's fault, you would still have to jump in.
