"Report!"
"Enter!"
A soldier walked up to Zhao Zulin holding a list and said, "This is the seized materials."
He reached out and took the list. After unfolding it, he read it for a while and began to mutter softly, "Two Type 92 70mm infantry guns (all destroyed), two 81mm mortars (one damaged), grenade launchers 10 (1 damaged), 3 heavy machine guns (3 damaged), 10 light machine guns (4 damaged)"
Listening to Zhao Zulin reciting the list of seizures, political commissar Xiao Feng's mouth twitched all the time. After Zhao Zulin stopped mumbling, he said, "The kid is really rich. This firepower is enough to arm a regiment."
Zhao Zulin put down the list with a pained expression on his face, "It's a pity that the heavy machine gun and the 92nd artillery were all blown up. Otherwise, if our regiment is equipped, the firepower will be improved to another level."
After listening to Zhao Zulin's nagging, Xiao Feng unhooked the walkie-talkie from his waist and put it on the table, then switched the channel, "The headquarters has left a public channel for us. We can communicate about things other than combat missions, but we are not allowed to chat."
Zhao Zulin lit a cigarette and said, "I know this. We can't talk about fighting or making small talk, so what else can we talk about? I thought about it for a long time and still didn't understand what the boss meant by reserving this channel for us."
"We can exchange supplies. Just now I heard that the Sixth Regiment traded a few cannonballs with the Thirteenth Regiment for a horse."
Zhao Zulin took a puff of cigarette, and an expression of surprise immediately appeared on his face, "Can it still be done like this? Cannonballs are exchanged for horses, isn't this a business?"
"It should be possible. Not only can we do business, but I think we can also exchange tactics on this public channel."
"Can't we talk about combat missions?" Zhao Zulin was a little confused.
"Exchanging experiences with each other should be allowed outside of missions. However, we only have one walkie-talkie, so we can't waste too much time on the public channel."
"Old Xiao, just tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I want to use the broken equipment to exchange for some food with other groups."
When he heard about the food, Zhao Zulin took a puff of his cigarette and spit it out, "Isn't the food enough?"
He actually said this knowingly. Although the regiment leader is responsible for fighting and the political commissar is responsible for life, as the regiment leader, he still has a general understanding of the regiment's supplies.
"If you insist on it for another ten or eight days at most, save some food and it will only last a month and a half."
Zhao Zulin took two puffs of cigarette in succession without spitting out the smoke. He frowned and said, "Broken equipment can be repaired. Besides, other troops probably don't have enough food." After finishing speaking, he took out a puff of smoke and annihilated the remaining cigarette butts in the ashes. In the tank, "Let's wait until the beating is over. Maybe there is food in the lady's palace?"
"Okay!" Xiao Feng stopped talking and switched the original channel of the walkie-talkie again.
"Report!"
A clear female voice came from outside the temporary command department.
Hearing this female voice, Zhao Zulin raised his eyebrows, looked at Xiao Feng and asked, "Is this the patriotic female student? Why didn't she go with the Sixth Regiment?"
"She is also a comrade of ours. She is very familiar with Dong Jinbao. She refused to leave and wanted to join the battle." Xiao Feng said and shrugged, "She is a lesbian, and we don't want to be violent, so we left her here." It’s in the back.”
"What is she doing here at this time? She's not going to participate in the battle at Niangziguan, is she?" Zhao Zulin said and turned to stare at Xiao Feng, "I can tell you, Lao Xiao, the battle behind is more dangerous than at the station, you can't let him A girl’s family is getting involved again!”
"What do you think I'm doing? Aren't you responsible for fighting?"
Xiao Feng turned around and pushed the trouble to Zhao Zulin because he didn't want to deal with Ji Wushuang. Although he was a political commissar and ideological work was his specialty, she couldn't handle Ji Wushuang's persistent stalking and intrusion.
This was the first time Zhao Zulin saw his old partner like this. He was a little confused, but he still shouted: "Come in!"
The door was opened, and two people came in.
One is Dong Jinbao!
One is Ji Wushuang!
Upon seeing the two of them, Zhao Zulin and Xiao Feng immediately walked up, saluted and shook hands.
After greetings, Zhao Zulin said to Dong Jinbao, "Comrade Dong Jinbao, on behalf of the Fifth Regiment, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."
Dong Jinbao smiled honestly and said, "It's nothing! It's within my ability, it's just a matter of convenience."
"How can it be said that it was an easy thing? Without the shells you modified, the casualties in the attack on the station would have increased a lot."
"That's political commissar Zhao's artillery accuracy. It has nothing to do with my artillery shells."
"Yes! And political commissar Zhao, you two can definitely be counted as the first contributors to this battle. If the war had not been urgent, I would have left you two to have a drink." Zhao Zulin said politely.
"Then thank you Captain Zhao for your kindness! However, I won't be able to drink your wine today. I still have to go to Jingxing Coal Mine with Political Commissar Zhao." Dong Jinbao said.
"I know this. I told the commander to me." Zhao Zulin said, thinking for a while, "You came to me for more than just saying goodbye, right? Is there something wrong?"
"That...that" Dong Jinbao hesitated and looked at Ji Wushuang with a bit of fear.
Ji Wushuang sighed lightly and said with a sweet smile, "Captain Zhao, I came here to ask you to borrow a walkie-talkie."
When he heard the walkie-talkie, Zhao Zulin immediately became wary, "Walkie-talkie? How do you know? Who told you?"
"Political Commissar Zhao Gang? I've been at the artillery position. Why did he make me see everything? However, he said his was broken and asked me to come to you?"
"It's broken?" Xiao Feng pressed the PTT button of the walkie-talkie, "Call Master, please answer when you receive it."
Within five seconds, Zhao Gang's voice came from the intercom, "Master, I received it."
"The eldest lady came to borrow something, saying it was your wish?" Xiao Feng asked cryptically.
Zhao Gang: "She wants to follow us. I don't want to take her with me and then say something is broken. You can also find an excuse to shirk it. It's really inconvenient for us, a group of old men, to take her with a girl."
After Zhao Gang's words came through, Ji Wushuang looked at Xiao Feng with a bad smile, "Commissar Xiao, how are you going to shirk me?"
Facing Ji Wushuang, Xiao Feng returned the smile, "We can't use walkie-talkies casually. Even if we use them, we must strictly abide by the regulations?"
"Really? Not shirk?"
"No, if you don't believe it, I can show you the documents."
"I won't read the document! But there is one thing I want to ask the commander for instructions."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Zulin asked.
"Didn't Political Commissar Zhao Gang just say that? I want to go with him to dig the Jingxing Coal Mine." Ji Wushuang said his purpose. (End of chapter)
