The 22nd Army had another purpose during the Dragon Boat Festival, which was to update its tactics.
The strategies and tactics of this period were very rigid, and most generals and commanders were only exposed to positional warfare.
But in positional warfare with the Japs, the Chinese army suffered a great deal, especially the Sichuan Army, which lacked weapons and equipment.
Therefore, the detailed decoration of the Dragon Boat Festival was discussed with Commander Deng, but in fact, it was to instill advanced combat ideas into him.
Commander Deng was very curious and thought: No wonder this special commissioner is victorious in every battle. It turns out that this is how he fights.
Thinking of this, Commander Deng shook his head and said, why are so many Sichuan Army brothers trying their best to defeat the Japanese? It turns out that their methods are wrong.
So Commander Deng talked with Duanwu at length all night, fearing that every minute and every second would be wasted.
·············
The next day, Commander Deng wanted to stay with Duanwu for a day, but Duanwu shook his head because he had to rush to Shandong to clean up the mess! Moreover, he also wanted to find Han Fuju's guards who ambushed his convoy.
It's impossible to just let this matter go. With Dragon Boat Festival's temper, when has he ever suffered such a big loss?
So this matter has been put on the agenda by Duanwu, and if the 22nd Army hadn't needed to make such a trip, I'm afraid he would have returned to Bengbu long ago.
And just when the Dragon Boat Festival was about to leave, Commander Song's first batch of cotton-padded clothes and quilts had been delivered. There were more than thirty large trucks in total, pulling thousands of sets of cotton-padded clothes and quilts.
Commander Deng was ecstatic because with these things, his soldiers no longer had to suffer from the cold.
Commander Deng burst into tears of gratitude and sent him off for more than ten miles during the Dragon Boat Festival. Finally, the Dragon Boat Festival persuaded him to go back, and Commander Deng took his people back.
The old abacus who was driving said with a smile: "This Commander Deng is so enthusiastic."
Duanwu said: "If you give me two hundred thousand oceans, I will be so enthusiastic to you."
The old abacus smiled and said: "Tuanzuo, who do you blame for this? You gave the money yourself! By the way, Tuanzu, why don't we keep this money and spend it ourselves? Why should we give it to the 22nd Army? ah?"
Duanwu looked out of the car and said nonchalantly: "Just think of me as a good boy."
"···········"
The old abacus was speechless and thought to himself: Tuanzu, if you want to spread your wealth, it would be great if you give it to me. Throw it into the pit of the 22nd Army and it won't even make a splash.
It’s just that the old abacus doesn’t know that although money is very valuable to the Dragon Boat Festival, it is far less important than funding an army to fight the Japanese.
The 22nd Army is a force that dares to fight tough battles, but its weapons and equipment are a bit inferior.
Weapons, the Dragon Boat Festival does not have any extra for the 22nd Army, but it is still capable of keeping them well fed and warmly clothed.
What's more, two hundred thousand oceans is an astronomical figure in the Twenty-Two Group, but for Dragon Boat Festival, it is only a drop in the bucket.
Of course, this seems to be an exaggeration, but it is undeniable. Duanwu still had money at this time, and he still had a lot of money. At least half a year's military expenses for his independent regiment, he didn't worry about it. Moreover, two hundred thousand oceans will be given to the 51st Army, so that Commander Yu can pay the soldiers.
The 51st Army was no better than the 22nd Army. Commander Yu’s wife and the wives of the officers under his command pawned their jewelry to collect the money to give the soldiers cotton-padded clothes and uniforms. Otherwise, the 51st Army The Army is no different from the 22nd Army.
Therefore, if the Dragon Boat Festival took the money, as long as the 51st Army defeated the Japanese again in Huainan, the money spent by the Dragon Boat Festival would be worthwhile.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the Dragon Boat Festival returned to Bengbu. Tang Jiujiu, Shangguan Zhibiao and others were waiting at the West City Gate early.
Dragon Boat Festival has always been in contact with Bengbu, and he was afraid that they would worry, so when he was in the 22nd Army, he sent a message to Tang Jiujiu about his itinerary.
But it was about an hour later than expected. This was all because Commander Deng was too enthusiastic and sent him more than ten miles away.
"Duanwu, what's wrong with you?"
Tang Jiujiu asked worriedly when he saw Lao Baanpan taking out his wheelchair from the back of the car as Duanwu got out of the car.
Duanwu smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just a minor injury. You don't know, I'm so powerful now. Even the knife-style master of that little devil is no match for me. I slashed at him and scared him so much that he almost peed."
By the way, you didn’t watch the news? Chinese lunatic versus Japanese one-sword master? "
Tang Jiujiu was surprised and murmured: "Didn't the newspaper say that the person who killed the leader of the Yidao style was Ksitigarbha, the martial arts master?"
But compared with newspapers, she believed in the Dragon Boat Festival more. He was only concerned about Duanwu's injury, and directly ignored Duanwu's awesomeness.
Of course, the Dragon Boat Festival was not to show off his heroic deeds in front of Tang Jiujiu, but to change the subject so that Tang Jiujiu would not worry too much.
And sure enough, most of Tang Jiujiu's attention was diverted. Although he was still concerned about Duanwu's injury, he was no longer so nervous.
Dragon Boat Festival returned to the headquarters, and the food was ready. In order to welcome the Dragon Boat Festival, Tang Jiujiu cooked a table of dishes.
Of course, these dishes are definitely not made by Tang Jiujiu.
In fact, Tang Jiujiu also wanted to cook it for Dragon Boat Festival, but after Arou tasted the food cooked by Tang Jiujiu, she swallowed it with tears.
Because it was too unpalatable, but Ah Rou didn’t like to waste food, so she had no choice but to eat it all.
Then, Arou stopped letting Tang Jiujiu enter the kitchen. Instead, she cooked a table of dishes with a gunshot wound, which was a combination of Chinese and Western dishes.
When Arou followed Reporter Fang, she was well-informed. Reporter Fang took her to many places and learned a lot. For example, Arou can master martial arts, marksmanship, cooking, tea art, flower arrangement, Western etiquette, including some simple foreign languages, etc.
So preparing such a table of dishes is nothing to Arou.
Dragon Boat Festival looked at the dishes on the table and started to eat. As for other things, they waited until after the meal.
During the dinner, Duanwu and Tang Jiujiu talked about the experience of Kaifeng. Of course, they are all processed stories during the Dragon Boat Festival.
The content of the story is how brave he was, how many spies he captured, etc. As for his injury, it was just an understatement.
Including when Chen Shusheng and others were attacked by Han Fuju's guards when they came back, he didn't say anything, just because he was afraid that Tang Jiujiu would be worried.
After three drinks and five dishes, Duanwu finally remembered and said, "Auntie asked me to bring you a lot of things!"
Tang Jiujiu said happily: "I knew my aunt would never forget me."
Duanwu echoed: "That's right, our aunt has nothing to say. If she were not here, the old man would be detained. In this case, why don't you take some time to go back and see your aunt. As for me, go A trip to Shandong taught them some advanced combat experience. Let me tell you, when I was in the 22nd Army, Old Deng was reluctant to leave me. He had never heard of the tactics I told him. Hahaha!."
