"Chief of Staff Li, it's not good for you to steal business like this!"
Just as Chief of Staff Li and Sun Boan were telling their prices, Commander Liao of the 48th Army had already arrived with his men.
When he heard that the Dragon Boat Festival was intercepted by the 39th Army, he realized something was wrong. With so many weapons and equipment and such low prices, no one will be tempted.
So Commander Liao directly led his men and money to kill them.
And Commander Liao was a little lucky that he arrived in time, otherwise the 39th Army would have taken advantage of the arms.
Chief of Staff Li said slightly embarrassed: "Where, where. Commander Liao Xu has misunderstood. Brigadier Sun and I are friends!"
Sun Boan echoed: "Yes, yes, we are all friends."
"snort!"
Commander Liao didn't believe it at all, but asked: "Is the special commissioner inside?"
Chief of Staff Li could only nod when he saw that Commander Liao had come prepared.
But in his heart, he was cursing his subordinates for being a bunch of idiots. Don’t you know that the whereabouts of the special commissioner must be kept secret?
But when it comes to this matter, the subordinates of the 39th Army cannot be entirely blamed.
First, he and Liu He Ding had no explanation at all. Secondly, no one thought that Commander Liao would come so quickly.
It was not yet twelve o'clock when they invited the Dragon Boat Festival for dinner, and Commander Liao came to kill them at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Therefore, since this matter cannot be done behind the scenes, it can only be done openly.
The same goes for Liu Heding. When he saw Commander Liao entering the door, he made this idea.
After he exchanged pleasantries with Liu Heding, he immediately revealed his cards.
"Hehehe, Brother Liao, although this batch of weapons and equipment was ordered by you, you can't let the special commissioner suffer, right? I, Mr. Liu, are willing to pay 160,000 yuan to buy this batch of weapons. Of course, I also Brother Liao, I won’t let your trip go in vain. In this way, among this batch of weapons, I will select a hundred quick guns and give them to you. What do you think?"
"snort!"
Commander Liao snorted coldly and thought to himself: You are really good at planning.
Commander Liao said: "I, Mr. Liao, appreciate Brother Liu's kindness. I have brought the gold bars, Dayang."
Although our 48th Army has no assets, it still has a mere 200,000 yuan. "
After that, Commander Liao waved his hand, and his men came forward carrying two large wooden boxes, and two guards held two half-meter-long red boxes in their hands.
The red box is full of gold bars, and the big box is full of white flowers.
Liu Heding frowned when he saw this, and was about to wink at Staff Li and ask him to get the money. However, Commander Liao didn't want to give him this opportunity at all. Instead, he said to Duanwu: "Special Commissioner, these are two hundred large yellow croakers, three hundred small yellow croakers, and an additional 40,000 yuan. Please click on it."
Duanwu said in a difficult way: "Commander Liao, don't we agree? Eighty thousand oceans is enough."
Commander Liao said boldly: "Haha, what Commander Liu just said is right, we cannot let the special commissioner suffer. Otherwise, if this word gets out, how can I, Mr. Liao, have the face to see others? Hahaha!"
Duanwu said helplessly: "Since brother said so, it would be hypocritical for me to refuse. In this way, I will give you a broken knife."
After saying this, Duanwu waved his hand, and the knife that had been standing behind him handed Yamada Keiji's sword into Duanwu's hand.
At this time, Danwu said: "This is the enemy's 103rd Brigade, Yamada Kaoriji's sword, and I gave it to my brother."
Duan Wu handed over the knife with both hands. Commander Liao's face straightened and he stood at attention before taking over the battle-hardened sword.
"Thank you to the special commissioner for the gift of the sword. I will treasure this sword because it is the honor of my Chinese soldier. I will also hold this sword to tell my soldiers that the Japanese are not invincible!"
"Very good, we in China need excellent soldiers like you. I wish you to be invincible on the battlefield and make new achievements again."
Say goodbye to the Dragon Boat Festival and salute.
Commander Liao returned the salute, then nodded, took the Dragon Boat Festival sword and left with Xie Jinyuan to receive weapons and ammunition.
Liu Heding sighed with regret, because in the end, these weapons still did not fall into his hands.
Seeing this, Duanwu patted Liu Heding on the shoulder and said, "Old Liu, don't sigh. There are so many little devils. Killing them and seizing their weapons is not more cost-effective than what you bought."
Liu Heding shook his head and said: "Commissioner, not everyone has the ability like you. That little devil's shooting skills are surprisingly good. On the frontal battlefield, it is difficult for us to take advantage. They also have aircraft and cannons. So in Songhu Our army suffered heavy casualties in the first battle.
But now that we have retreated to the Wufu line, to put it bluntly, I really have no confidence that I can hold it? "
Duanwu whispered in Liu Heding's ear: "If you investigate more, there will be opportunities at night."
"Huh?"
Liu Heding was surprised for a moment, but then he suddenly realized. Because the commissioner was right. During the day, the Japanese army has aircraft and artillery, and they have superb tactics and shooting techniques, and even their fighting skills are far superior to ours.
In this case, they fought during the day. First, they suffered heavy casualties, and second, it was difficult to win.
But it's different at night, this gap will be infinitely shortened. And if their large group succeeds in the surprise attack, they can bite off a piece of meat from the little devil in one bite.
"The special commissioner is indeed a military wizard, and I, Liu, admire him. How about you rest in our 39 defense zone for a few more days, so that I can discuss tactics with you?"
Liu Heding begged Duanwu to stay. In fact, to put it bluntly, he just wanted Duanwu to help him fight the war. Night raids are easier said than done, but like pulling teeth from a tiger's mouth. Once the raid fails, I'm afraid they will fall into great passivity.
Therefore, Liu Heding sincerely begged Duanwu to stay.
But at this time, Dragon Boat Festival had a reason to leave. Secretary-General Yang told him that Changshu was very difficult now and he, a wise and powerful monkey boy, needed to deal with it.
Of course, Dragon Boat Festival is not so easy to obey. He asked Secretary-General Yang for weapons and equipment, and they were the most advanced German equipment.
Secretary-General Yang thought about it and agreed, because first, there was an army of Japanese soldiers in Changshu. Secondly, countless people will flock to Changshu City to escape the war and look for food to satisfy their hunger.
Just imagine, since the Battle of Songhu began, how many people have been homeless and how many people have left their homes.
These people initially had the mentality that the Chinese army would defeat the Japanese and return home.
But now it seems that the Chinese army is retreating again and again, with no end in sight.
So some people have spent all their savings and have nowhere to go. Some people were driven to the vicinity of Changshu by the Japanese army.
It was freezing outside the city and there was no food, so these people had no choice but to rush into Changshu City in search of a chance of survival! ...
