The seven surviving wolves, led by Meng Xin'an, escorted Seiichi Aoki and appeared in front of Zhang Lingfu and You Ansheng, confirming their identities. Zhang Lingfu was excited and couldn't help but greeted them, and then looked at Meng Xin'an. With an indifferent eye, he stiffened slightly, stopped and asked, "You are back."
Meng Xin'an nodded, handed Seiichi Aoki and the military flag of the 40th Division to Tomo Ansheng, and said: "Director You, we have to go into the city to collect the bodies of our brothers, Seiichi Aoki will leave them to you."
Zhang Lingfu was very familiar with the names of senior Japanese generals. Hearing this, he looked at Seiichi Aoki, who was in dire straits with smelly socks stuffed in his mouth, and said in surprise: "You captured Seiichi Aoki alive."
There was no joy on Meng Xin'an's face. He glanced at him and turned around to leave. The other wolves remained silent and followed him away silently.
Watching them walk into the night, Zhang Lingfu opened and closed his mouth, then shook his head with a wry smile, and followed You Ansheng into the headquarters.
Unlike Meng Xing'an and others, the officers in the headquarters of the First Army heading north, including Rao Guohua, were inexplicably excited about being able to capture Seiichi Aoki and the flag of the 40th Division.
"The Anti-Japanese War has been going on for so long. This is the first time that our Chinese army has captured division-level military flags and military seats. This alone is enough for us to leave our names in the history books of the 11th Division." The person who said this is Xue Shi. Zhuang Xiaolin, deputy chief of staff of the First Division,
"Hurry up and report this good news to the headquarters and Mr. Jiang." Chief of Staff Li Xumeng said,
Rao Guohua behaved more low-key, but he couldn't hide the smile on his face. Successful reports from the front line came frequently, and a certain brigade and a certain regiment attacked somewhere. He finally calmed down and walked to Seiichi Aoki, who seemed to have been forgotten. , smiled and said to the two trainees standing behind Seiichi Aoki: "This is not the way to treat guests, loosen the restraints and take out the things in your mouth."
The undisguised ecstasy of the Chinese people was like one loud slap after another to Seiichi Aoki. The old devil's face had already turned red, his goldfish eyes were protruding, and he looked rebellious. After being freed, the smelly socks in his mouth were also taken out. He glared at Rao Guohua and hissed: "Don't think that if you catch me, my troops will stop resisting. We soldiers of the Empire of Japan will never accept threats. "
"What did he say?" Rao Guohua asked Zhuang Xiaolin with a look of interest.
Zhuang Xiaolin faithfully translated,
Rao Guohua burst out laughing, his laughter suddenly subsided, and a sarcastic look appeared on his face: "Ask him if his ears are deaf. I believe that by daybreak, he will be the only one of the 40th Division still alive here. of the world.”
Zhuang Xiaolin translated the words word for word. Aoki Chengyi's face was filled with anger at first, and gradually turned pale. Suddenly he bowed deeply to Rao Guohua and said: "Your Excellency, as a soldier, I hope to get a decent death. Can you give me some ribs?"
"Soldiers, what kind of soldiers do you deserve to be called? No, you are just a bunch of butchers, take them down."
Aoki Chengyi was taken away, and Zhang Lingfu asked his friend Ansheng: "Will the old Japanese be sent to Guangzhou for public trial?"
Rao Guohua became interested, looked at him and said: "Colonel Zhang, you know our Xuebing Army very well."
"I heard a lot about it."
"Then what do you think of our handling of the Japanese army?"
"It's very appropriate. We should treat the invaders with blood for blood and tooth for tooth."
"Your idea is exactly the same as that of our commander-in-chief." You Ansheng answered, turning to Rao Guohua: "Military officer, Colonel Zhang has a lot of opinions on our attack methods. I think you should listen to his opinion."
"It takes too long to prepare for the artillery fire. Of course, your student army has the capital to squander it, but other anti-Japanese forces in the country are very short of supplies. Please forgive me for being presumptuous. I am just discussing the matter." Zhang Lingfu said slowly,
"I heard that Colonel Zhang is a straightforward person. How come he is so aggressive? Just ask us to save some artillery shells for the Central Army." Rao Guohua said with a smile, and suddenly his face straightened: "I don't deny that, we The artillery fire preparations are relatively well prepared, but there is a reason for this. The guiding ideology of our commander-in-chief is that what can be exchanged for weapons and equipment must not be replaced with human lives. The life of every soldier is precious. As for supporting other anti-Japanese teams such as As a soldier, I am not qualified to comment on your Central Military Materials, but as far as I know, we have provided a lot of support, but what did we get in return? Colonel Zhang, why did you appear in Nanchang with Commander Yang? I guess you don’t need me to make it clear.”
Zhang Lingfu blushed at first when he heard this, but then he thought of when he participated in the Battle of Wuhan, the troops had to use their lives to fill the ammunition due to lack of ammunition. He felt that he must stick to his previous point of view, looked at Rao Guohua and said sincerely: "General Rao, You are right. As soldiers, we should avoid talking about politics, but you don’t know that the supplies in the rear area of Sichuan are really scarce now. The frontline troops are short of ammunition. Many wounded people can obviously survive, but because of the lack of medical treatment and medicine, As a result, the lightly wounded became seriously injured, and the seriously injured could only leave with hatred."
You Ansheng interrupted at this time, and he said doubtfully: "Colonel Zhang, did I hear you correctly? Although our army has strict control over weapons and ammunition, it has never set up a card in medicine. As far as I know, Last year alone, we supplied approximately two million penicillin preparations to Chongqing at cost price, and even one-third of the newly produced antibiotics were given priority to you, Military Officer, I remembered something."
You Ansheng is also the head of the logistics department of the 11th Academy Division, so he knows the direction of the Xuebing Army's strategic supplies. Everyone looked at him. Rao Guohua raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's talk about it."
"The Hutong Shanghai team once reported that they discovered the latest antibiotic preparations produced by our army in Shanghai. The Hutong headquarters conducted an investigation and finally found that these antibiotic preparations flowed out of Chongqing." You Ansheng said,
"You mean, someone in Chongqing is doing black market business with the medicines we supply to the rear area." Rao Guohua raised his eyebrows.
You Ansheng glanced at Zhang Lingfu and found that his face suddenly turned ugly. He nodded and said, "Director Mu has confirmed this. This matter is related to people from the four major families."
"It's the four major families again."
"The four major families are blood-sucking parasites that are parasitic on the Chongqing government."
The four major families joined forces with the military to plot and force Ouyang Yun out of office. This aroused the indignation of the Xuebing Army. The headquarters immediately became lively, and everyone attacked the four major families. Gradually, they began to criticize the corruption of the Chongqing government. Zhang Lingfu was immediately ordered to Sitting on pins and needles,
It has long been an open secret that the four major families control the financial lifeline of the Chongqing government. No matter how uninterested in politics Zhang Lingfu is, there is no way he would not know this. He suddenly regretted coming to Nanchang.
