Chapter 84 Armed Escort

The war zone obviously didn't expect Gao Quanneng to catch the commander of the Peasant National Salvation Army so quickly, Li Zongren was overjoyed, and immediately awarded Gao Quan 5,000 yuan! Chief Li can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of Gao Quan, and knows that this Gao Jun Commander is a greedy man, and it is better to give any praise and medals to Dayang directly than to fulfill his wishes!

Sure enough, as Commander Li expected, Gao Quan was so happy after receiving this commendation telegram that he ordered Kong Xuan, the commander of the cavalry regiment, to take a cavalry battalion to the war zone to receive the bonus on the same day. The cavalry ran fast, and the time to go back and forth was much shorter than that of the infantry. Three days later, Regiment Commander Kong entered the commander's office with five wooden boxes, and the silver dollars were returned!

Open the box, and it was full of brand-new Yuan Datou! Gao Quan bent down and grabbed a handful from the box, a cold silk and heavy straight hand, it was really a good baby!

"Wow, now we can have a good meal at noon! Give the kitchen an order to eat braised pork at noon! Order Zheng Guotai to send a pig to every company in the whole army! Let the brethren follow along! "A bonus was given to all the soldiers of the whole army to eat meat, which seems to have become the practice of the 500 army.

"Report to the military seat, Zheng Guotai is now the commander of the independent division, and he is leading the independent division to train with the secretary at the foot of the mountain."

"Well, I forgot. Zheng Guotai is not there, and the General Affairs Office is always not disbanded, right? Pigs are procured by the General Affairs Office. Seeing Yin Yuan's joy, Gao Quan even forgot that Director Zheng had been promoted to division commander. Fortunately, there are no outsiders in the house, Hong Yingying, Biao Zi, Liu Qi, Kong Xuan, plus Gao Quan himself, these five people are not afraid of being laughed at by outsiders.

"I'm afraid the general affairs office is not easy to buy, right? Now at this time, the people below the mountain are broken, who will still raise pigs? Otherwise, why don't you go to Master Zheng to find a way? He has been dealing with the local government all these years, so it may be more reliable to let Master Zheng buy pigs, right? Liu Qi interjected a little hesitantly.

Today's people are indeed living a difficult life, and there are probably very few people who can still raise pigs at home. There are more than 100 companies in the 500 Army, and if you want to have one company and one pig according to Gao Quan, you need more than 100 pigs, and it is really a problem to find so many pigs!

"Let me go!" Kong Xuan suddenly interjected, which made everyone in the room stunned.

"You? This is buying pigs, not horses. I believe you know the horse seller, and you can also know the pig seller? In addition to eating pork, pigs, have you ever seen it? Brigade Commander Liu obviously expressed serious doubts about the cavalry commander's ability, "Don't let you buy pigs, when the time comes, you will come back with a bunch of cats, and that thing will not have as much meat as pigs." ”。

"Of course I've seen pigs!" The cavalry commander's face turned red, and there was a famous saying: I have never eaten pork and seen a pig run. But he was suspected of having never seen a pig, and he would confuse a pig with a cat, which really hurt people's self-esteem! Fortunately, it was Liu Qi who said this, and if he wanted to be replaced by someone else, Regiment Commander Kong would have already pulled out his gun and come out to duel with that person! "I know that man is a pig dealer, and when I saw him last month, he had more than 20 pigs in his yard. At that time, I joked that I wanted to buy pigs from him, and he knew that I was an officer of the national army, and he said that he would give me a cheap price. ”

"Where did you meet the pig dealer?" Seeing the details of Kong Xuan's words, Gao Quan couldn't help but ask carefully.

"Toad ditch."

"Toad ditch?" Why haven't you heard of this name? "Go and point it out to me on the map!" Gao Quan pointed to the huge battle map hanging on the wall.

"Here!" Kong Xuan's indicator stop at a place on the map.

"Here?" Gao Quan was a little surprised, "This place is much closer to Queshan than to Tongbai, right?" The place pointed by the cavalry commander was not far from the enemy-occupied area, no wonder Gao Quan was surprised, "How did you get so far away?" ”

"Didn't Brigade Commander Liu say just now that I would buy a horse? I went there to buy horses. I reported last month that I was going to buy twenty horses, but you forgot? Kong Xuan looked at Gao Quan in surprise, if the military seat forgot about this, he really couldn't tell at this moment!

"I haven't forgotten!" Gao Quan glared at Kong Xuan angrily, "You have a lot of problems this trip, whether that person has more than a hundred pigs in his hand is one of them; Even if he had, it would still be a question how to safely transport the more than 100 pigs back! You can't take a hundred or so horsemen, each with a pig tied to the back of the horse's buttocks, and run all the way back, right? ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Qixian laughed, followed by the whole room full of laughter, everyone was laughing at Kong Xuan, mainly because the scene described by Gao Quan was too ridiculous. Just imagine, more than a hundred mighty and majestic cavalry rode tall horses, walking arrogantly, and each horse led a big round fat pig behind its buttocks.

Kong Xuan first looked angrily at the laughing people in the room, and couldn't help laughing when he looked at him. Laughter is contagious, even if it is the object of laughter, he will involuntarily be infected by laughter. In fact, Gao Quan didn't mean to laugh at the cavalry commander, he just described an uncommon and discordant picture for everyone.

Finally, people laughed enough, wiping their eyes and panting, to alleviate the sequelae of sore necks and stomachaches caused by laughter.

"Since the cavalry regiment can't bring the pig back," Seeing that everyone in the room still had a tendency to continue laughing, Gao Quan hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and if he laughed again, it would affect the right thing! "We're going to have to send a car! Send a cart to bring those pigs back. At the same time, you can also order the troops under the mountain to send people to respond, and the pigs that should be distributed to them will be distributed directly at the bottom of the mountain, and there is no need to pull them up the mountain. Gao Quan looked around, everyone in the room nodded in unison, and the military seat was reasonable.

"The Peasant National Salvation Army, we just caught the leader Niu Da stick, as for the situation of the rest of the large army, the reconnaissance team has not yet heard accurate information, and the convoy pulling the pig has to guard against this gang to intercept it halfway. In addition, now the devil is attacking the first war zone on a large scale, and the battle of Henan and Central China has not completely ended, and it is possible to encounter the defeat of any national army on such a long road from Tongbai to Toad Gully. ”

"Those defeated soldiers probably haven't tasted meat for a while, and we have to guard against them! Then there are devils, guerrillas, and all kinds of weapons, as long as someone has a gun, they may rob our pigs halfway! Therefore, this pig purchase is no longer a simple commercial transaction, this is an armed escort, and it is a dangerous military operation! ”

Hearing Gao Quan say this, the faces of the people present all became serious, military action, that is to say, there is another battle to be fought!

"The commander-in-chief of this long-distance armed escort is personally served by the commander of this army! They were accompanied by a battalion of the cavalry regiment led by Kong Xuan, Hong Yingying, Hu Biao, and the entire expedition team I brought up from the bottom of the mountain. Inform Jin Feilong later, and ask him to gather his troops and prepare for action immediately! ”
