Li Fulin ordered others to quickly collect the loot, and then expressed his intention to Changchun, "Let's go and find out what kind of background this young man has!".
The two were in tandem, Li Fulin was in front with his rifle on his back, and Changchun was standing a few feet away from the squad leader with his rifle in his hands, looking warily at Xu Gaoxiang who walked out from behind the boulder.
As for Xu Gaoxiang, as soon as he relaxed, he felt pain all over his body, "Hiss... Ugh! It hurts me so much!".
He grinned because of the pain, especially on his legs, but Xu Gaoxiang was also lucky, "Fortunately, it was on the lighter! Otherwise this time it would have been really useless!".
At this time, he really wanted to drink a bottle of happy water first to calm down his shock, but seeing the people coming over, he could only endure the pain first, as he could take this opportunity to find out information.
Insert the shell gun back into the gun case, Xu Gaoxiang limped out while holding on to the boulder, "You have to think of a rhetoric first!" Taking advantage of a few steps, Xu Gaoxiang used his brain to organize his words.
"Thank you to the officers for helping me. I can never repay you for your life-saving grace!"
Of course, Xu Gaoxiang was truly grateful for the life-saving grace, and he sincerely expressed his gratitude at the moment.
Li Fulin smiled kindly and said, "You're welcome, it's natural to fight the Japanese." He said there was no need to thank him. Then, he changed his words and started asking questions.
"Little brother, where do you live from? Why did the little devil bite you?"
Hearing the other party ask about his origin, Xu Gaoxiang subconsciously licked his lips, and then started to answer according to the words he had thought of.
"My surname is Xu and my first name is Gao Xiang. I have lived in Nanyang for a long time. I heard that the country is in crisis. My family happens to be dealing in arms, so I want to do my best. Unfortunately, the national army... Oh! It's okay not to say anything!"
Changchun almost laughed out loud when he heard Xu Gaoxiang's tone when he mentioned that he was preparing to do business with the National Army.
Li Fulin also knew it well, but there were some words that were not suitable to be said openly, "Changchun! Pay attention to discipline!".
"It's also my fault. I accidentally exposed my wealth, and that's why I got targeted by the little devil. I panicked and got separated from my companions!"
Listening to Xu Gaoxiang's shameful talk about what happened, Li Fulin's attention was focused on what Xu Gaoxiang said about running arms at home, especially the fact that he hadn't found a new home yet, which made him immediately interested.
Their Eighth Route Army is in trouble! Especially the source of guns and ammunition, not to mention the nearly non-existent supplies from the national army, and the local rich man Yan Laoxi from Shanxi, who had to dig and search for the Taiyuan defensive battle.
As for the ones we made in the border area, we really can’t count on them for the time being. If we want to buy them, no one can sell them, so we can only rely on seizures. To put it well, “There are no guns or cannons, the enemy makes them for us!”
This is how their group built up their fortune bit by bit, and it was all due to the leader of his family that the group grew from a basic group to a major group.
But this is their regiment, because the leader of his regiment never engages in loss-making business, and if he switches to other troops, the capture will mean a lot of sacrifices!
"Mr. Xu, we are from the New Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. We are nearby Cangyun Ridge. The little Japs have been moving around in this area recently and it is no longer safe!"
At first, Xu Gaoxiang didn't react, "Oh, Xinyi Tuan, Cangyun Ridge...".
Then, his eyes widened, and Xu Gaoxiang opened his mouth in surprise, "Xinyi Tuan?! Cangyun Ridge?! Isn't this just a bright sword? Isn't that...!"
This is really... what do you think? Isn’t the protagonist coming now?
Unexpectedly, he came to the world of bright swords. Xu Gaoxiang's heart was pounding, "Although Lao Li is a poor man, he is also very capable. It is okay to maintain a minimum survival time, right?"
Besides, maybe with his arms deal, Li Yunlong would be stunned!
Just do it when you think of it, Xu Gaoxiang pretended to be surprised and asked: "Oh? But that new regiment of the 386th Brigade of your 129th Division? Is the regiment leader Li Yunlong Li?!"
Hearing that Xu Gaoxiang actually said the name of his regiment leader, Li Fulin was confused at first, thinking, is his regiment leader so famous? Have everyone in Nanyang heard of it? Then came the suspicion, does this young man really have ulterior motives? !
But before he could express his question, Changchun behind him couldn't hold back his words, "Our leader is Li Yunlong, you've heard about it too! Uh..."
Li Fulin immediately glared at Changchun with a stern look, "Pay attention to discipline!"
Seeing Changchun's proud look and Li Fulin's look of recognition, Xu Gaoxiang couldn't help but sigh, these are Li Yunlong's soldiers. Obviously in their minds, their leader is so powerful and famous.
"It's not this comrade's fault. It's just that I was rude. However, I have heard about Captain Li. We have been close friends for a long time. I wonder if we can meet him."
Xu Gaoxiang lowered his posture and praised Li Yunlong. His words were full of admiration.
When he heard Xu Gaoxiang's greeting, Changchun couldn't help but said, "Squad leader!" He was so anxious that he almost broke out in sweat.
Li Fulin was also anxious, but he still had to stand firm. He glared at Changchun and said, "Why are you anxious!".
Turning his head, Li Fulin's dark face burst into laughter, and Xu Gaoxiang almost trembled when he saw it.
"Ahem, Mr. Xu, you see it's not safe here. We have a temporary station not far away. Why don't you go back with us? I'll go find the group leader for you right away!"
"Why are you still standing there! Haven't you seen Mr. Xu's legs and feet are inconvenient? Why don't you come over and help him!"
This change in Li Fulin's attitude made other soldiers look dumbfounded, and they all said, "What's going on?"
However, when they learned that Xu Gaoxiang's greeting gift was a mortar, everyone rushed to surround him and hurriedly asked about his well-being.
Xu Gaoxiang was really shocked, "I can walk by myself, no need, no, alas, this comrade doesn't need a stretcher!" When he saw some people trying to chop branches to make stretchers, he really realized that The importance of door cannons to these warriors has become clear.
After a lot of work, at Xu Gaoxiang's repeated request, with the help of only one soldier, the group finally set out on their way home.
Along the way, seeing the uncontrollable excitement of these soldiers, who wished they could just pick themselves up and run back to the station, Xu Gaoxiang's pain at having to spend a full one hundred points to buy a mortar suddenly disappeared.
The mountain road has eighteen bends and is difficult to walk. Xu Gaoxiang's shell gun is already on Li Fulin's body.
The sun moved westward, crossing a mountain ridge, and a village came into view, and patrolling soldiers could be vaguely seen disappearing and appearing.
Not long after, as the distance got closer, they encountered the first sentry post. After handover and confirmation, Xu Gaoxiang curiously followed the team and came to the village along a specific route.
"Master Xu, please take a rest here first. If you need anything, call Changchun. I'll keep him here."
Coming to a yard, Li Fulin arranged Xu Gaoxiang and told Changchun to take good care of him.
Seeing Li Fulin walking away quickly with the shell gun, Xu Gaoxiang couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't expect that I really got it right! I hope everything goes well next! This day is really exciting!"
Sitting on the bed, the exhausted Xu Gaoxiang slowly fell asleep.
