Chapter 336: Gerhardt's Final Adventure (I)
When Major Spojou led the pilots to board the French river gunboat that greeted them from the Chaotianmen pier, she would not have thought that the second lieutenant Gerhardt, who had been thinking about her, was actually hiding less than a kilometer away from them at this moment.
"I wonder what these Germans are up to? Celebrate previous victories? Adjutant Liu cautiously observed the lively scene on the other side of the river from the gap in the bamboo curtain.
The place where he was hiding at this time was a two-story wooden building next to the bank of the Jialing River, which was originally a shipyard run by a certain Sichuan gentry, making wooden flat-bottomed cargo ships sailing along the Jialing River.
After the relocation of the government into Sichuan, the waterway transportation of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan became more and more important, and these waterways were generally impassable for large ships, so the government's demand for wooden transport ships increased sharply, and the shipyard business became extremely hot.
So the shipyard was forcibly requisitioned by the Military Commission in the name of the needs of the Anti-Japanese War, and the name of the righteousness of the Anti-Japanese War was really magnificent, and the gentry could not hold his arms and thighs after all, and he could only leave this sad place with a suitcase of anti-Japanese war bonds as compensation.
What is incomprehensible is that a full half a year has passed since the shipyard was requisitioned, and it has not resumed production until now.
"I don't know how many people are looking for us out there, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us, and sooner or later they will find here." Wu Dewei took a dagger and picked out a piece of beef from the can, then stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it.
"We'll leave tonight, I've arranged everything, brothers, endure it for a long time, and when we run out, I'll take care of all of you for the rest of your lives. If you want to continue to follow Lao Tzu as a soldier and eat food, all officers will be promoted to three levels, and a small lieutenant like Lao Liu will be directly promoted to major when the time comes. If you don't want to wear this leather again. Send 3,000 oceans, go back and buy more than a dozen acres of land and marry a wife, this day is humming. Wu Dewei put down the bayonet, then picked up the large porcelain bowl on the small table and drank it up, and burped a long wine with satisfaction.
"Battalion commander, no, I should call you division commander, can this Japanese really be trusted?" One of his men stepped forward and picked up a cigarette case from the small table.
"What's the matter, you can't trust the Japanese, can't you even believe Lao Tzu?" Wu Dewei's dagger had a piece of pig's head meat stuck in it. Wide-eyed as he looked at his lackey.
"How dare you, battalion commander, I'm just a little worried, you've been fooled by the Japanese, aren't you?" The man with a grinning face took out two cigarettes from the cigarette case and handed one to Wu Dewei.
"As long as you kid has a lot of flowers and intestines in his belly, okay, anyway, now that we've come to this point, even if someone wants to fight back, it won't end well, and I'm not afraid to give you a good foundation. Lao Tzu is now a person who is Chairman Wang, as long as he brings this Japanese officer back safely and adds these intelligence materials, these rewards in front are only trivial, and the good days in the future are still long. ”
"Big brother. I am back. Just as Wu was bragging about it, one of his subordinates hurriedly ran up the stairs and reported to him out of breath.
"I have inquired clearly, and now Miss Kong Er is looking for us everywhere like crazy. She also let people put a message on the rivers and lakes, and there were 500 rewards for telling us news, and 1,000 rewards for catching one of us. If you catch the eldest brother, you will be rewarded with 10,000 yuan in the ocean whether you live or die. ”
"Ten thousand?" Another subordinate on the side exclaimed.
"This Miss Kong Er is willing to pay the capital, but it's a pity that it's late, Lao Tzu will slap her ass and leave tonight. This stinky girl, in order to catch her line, Lao Tzu put down so much money and put his wife in, this time Lao Tzu asked her to spit out even the principal and interest, and see if her uncle-in-law can keep her when the time comes. Wu Dewei viciously stuck the dagger on the small table.
"I'm very sorry, Second Lieutenant Gerhardt, but as a soldier, I admire your courage and loyalty." Shirane spoke in a frightening Japanese accent to Gerhardt, who was tied together.
"It's a pity that you've seen too many things, and I can't risk releasing you back, so I beg your pardon." Shiraken sat on the chair and bowed slightly.
"Your country's aviation technology is indeed the most advanced in the world today, I read this manual, the data on it surprised me, I believe that this thing will definitely give some inspiration and help to the aviation experts of the Japanese Navy, for which I would like to express my gratitude to them. In addition, you stopped the villagers of China when they tried to commit violence against me, and in return, I ordered Wu Dewei and his men to treat you with courtesy, and we were evened out in this regard. However, I still want to thank you for your chivalry, and I am here to toast you. Bai Gen picked up the small teacup and took a sip proudly.
Gerhardt was now wearing only a shirt and breeches, leaning on a pile of sacks, with a handkerchief in his mouth, and glaring at the Japanese naval officer in front of him with anger on his face.
"Don't look at me like that, I know you're angry right now, but you know, Fourth Chair Nest, you're also a soldier, you know what that means. Okay, this may be the last time we meet, and it's a shame we had to kill you, but don't worry, as a samurai, I'll let them give you a decent ending and won't let your honor be tarnished. That's it, Sayonala, Ensign Gerhardt. Shirane stood up, gave Gelhardt a Japanese naval salute, and then turned and walked out the door.
"By the way, I think you must still be thinking about that Chinese girl, rest assured, she didn't get hurt in any way. Unfortunately, we can't keep her as a witness, so she will be executed with you, and perhaps you can have a companion on the way to heaven. Looking at Gerhardt, who was struggling and roaring on the floor, Shirane laughed and walked out of the house.
"Second Lieutenant Shirane, you're here, come on, let's have a drink together." Seeing Bai Gen go upstairs, Wu Dewei hurriedly stood up and greeted.
"Wu Sang, have you arranged everything?" At this time, Shirane had already changed into a gray cloth robe and wore a straw top hat, looking like an ordinary clerk.
"Don't worry, everything is arranged, we will get on the boat in the middle of the night, go down the Yangtze River, land at Guojiaba, and walk by land for another three days to reach the Japanese occupation area." Wu Dewei took a clean bowl and poured a bowl of white wine for Bai Gen.
"Can't you just take a boat to Yichang?" Shiragen picked up the bowl and sniffed it, then placed it on the table.
"The government sank a lot of ships in the river a while ago to block the waterway, and laid a lot of mines, if it weren't for the shallow draft of the wooden boats, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to cross Wushan. Don't worry, there is no danger in taking the land route, we just need to change to the country. With a military uniform and a warrant signed by Dean Kong himself, no one would dare to stop us on the road. Wu Dewei inserted another piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Wu Sang, won't they want us?" Shirakan asked curiously.
"Don't worry, you don't know the government, they won't be that fast. What's more, I have prepared new identity documents, all of them are real, the big seal of the Military Commission, as long as you are willing to spend money these days, you can get anything in your hands. Wu Dewei chewed the beef and showed off proudly.
"Then it's good, everything is up to Wu Sang, as long as I can successfully get out of danger this time, I will report the process of this incident to my superiors, and you will be rewarded and rewarded by the Japanese Navy, and you will find that for generals like you who are friendly to Japan, we Japanese are very generous." Lieutenant Shirane nodded, carefully picked up the bowl and took a sip.
"Hahaha, eat vegetables, eat some vegetables, this pork marinated is good, Second Lieutenant Shiragen can taste it." Wu Dewei saw Bai Gen, who was spicy with white wine and only stuck out his tongue, and pushed the pig's head meat in front of the other party with a smile.
I am still feeling a little unwell, I will write this today, I hope you understand, if the situation is better tomorrow, I will compensate appropriately.
Thank you all for your support. (To be continued.) )
