Zheng Guotai and Wang Hua haven't come back yet, so it's likely that they met the peasant self-defense army? Hearing this, Gao Quan straightened his eyes on the spot. How could it be such a coincidence? The more he learned about the historical truth, the deeper Gao Quan's awe of the peasant uprising, from the first time he got the news, he strictly ordered all units of the 500 Army to guard the garrison, no one was allowed to contact the uprising peasant army, but it was difficult to guard against thieves day and night, and the 500 Army finally inevitably had contact with the peasant rebel army!

What to do? It's impossible to ignore it now! Whether it was Zheng Guotai, Wang Hua, or the soldiers of the platoon that went with them, they were all members of the 500 Army, and it was very difficult for Gao Quan to give up any of them. Especially Zheng Guotai, not to mention his own importance to the 500 Army, just with the major general badge on Zheng Guotai's collar, Gao Quan can't ignore it! No commander would let the life or death of a major general or officer be spared.

"Stone, you immediately send scouts to get close to the reconnaissance, you must find the traces of Zheng Guotai and Wang Hua, you must see people alive, and corpses when you die! Even if they are killed by the rebellious peasants, you must find the corpses for me and bring them back! ”

"Yes!" Shi Lei agreed with a solemn face.

"Biaozi prepares the car, follow me to the new 501st Division!" Gao Quan shouted out of the door, got up and walked out of the office, and the reconnaissance regiment commander and several staff officers behind him hurriedly followed. "Don't go with me, you can start arranging reconnaissance missions now, and strive to get news from Zheng Guotai as soon as possible. Report to me as soon as you have any information! ”

Shi Lei agreed and saluted, turned around and left. However, this matter could not be slowed down, and the peasant self-defense army was advancing rapidly, often in this town today, and tomorrow it would be in another village more than a hundred miles away. These people move irregularly, no one knows where they will go next, they are like a torch, burning wherever they go. Wherever the self-defense forces passed, government offices were smashed, warehouses were looted, and local villagers cheered and flocked to join in, so that the peasant self-defense forces led by Wang Chuan continued to grow and develop at an alarming speed every day.

A small, abandoned courtyard was surrounded by dozens of men, all dressed as peasants, and some of them had thin belts hanging from their shoulders, and at the end of the belt was a holster, which was obviously bulging with guys. Among them, the one in the gray robe was carrying a box cannon cross-body, although it looked a little nondescript, but it was also a majestic body.

"Damn, I didn't expect this guerrilla command to be quite difficult to deal with!" A stout farmer in the crowd scolded indignantly.

"What's so hard to deal with? We've got people! As long as the commander gives an order, tens of thousands of people will be sent to rush forward with their lives, not to mention the guerrilla headquarters, even the Emperor Laozi's Jinluan Palace, we can also beat him down! Another peasant in a placket and a fleshy face said nonchalantly. If you don't look at the clothes on your body, just look at your face, how does this person look like a bandit on a mountain!

"What do you think, Brother Cathay?" Among them, Wang Chuan, who was wearing a robe, looked around, only Zheng Guotai did not express his opinion, and the others advocated rushing up by relying on the number of people. Although the rebel army has not fought a few battles since its establishment, Zheng Guotai has already established his prestige in these few battles that have not been fought much! Those who have served as officers and led troops are immediately visible compared with those peasants who only know how to farm all day long! Wang Chuan has now paid more and more attention to Zheng Guotai's opinions, and seeing that Zheng Guotai did not speak, Wang Chuan has no bottom in his heart.

"Commander, brothers. Relying on the large number of people, the big guys rushing up in a swarm are of course a move, but this is gambling with the lives of the villagers! The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, what if those national soldiers are really anxious and shoot and shoot cannons? ”

Zheng Guotai has always refused to call the people who participated in the rebel army soldiers, he just called these people villagers. Some of the rebel generals present had raised their opinions on this, believing that Zheng Guotai was deliberately belittling the rebels and making them sound more like a rabble! Do you think, what army led a group of villagers to war?

In the end, it was Wang Chuan who said good things for Zheng Guotai, how to call it is a matter of personal habit, this has nothing to do with political position, and the rebel army did not tie up the leader of Guotai, if he looks down on the peasant self-defense army, he can leave by himself! The people didn't leave, which means that Leader Zheng still values this rebel army very much! With Wang Chuan guarding, who else would dare to talk nonsense? As a result, calling soldiers and villagers has become Zheng Guotai's patent.

"I want to ask you, what are we doing here?" Zheng Guotai's eyes sparkled and looked around, and the people he saw were all at a loss, only Wang Chuan's eyes were flashing, "Isn't it because the people of southern Henan are too hard, and the villagers can't survive?" We started the incident in order to find a way for the villagers to live, so that everyone can have food, and so that everyone can live! But what did you just say? Thousands of villagers should be sent to the front line to see if the national army would shoot? What if they're going to shoot, what if they're going to be a**? How many people would have to be killed or wounded? Are we right for the folks who follow us to make a living? ”

In the end, he is worthy of being the director of the general affairs department who has led the soldiers to read, and if he doesn't speak, he will say that most of the people present will immediately bow their heads with red faces. Of course, there are a few people who still have a stalk on their necks to express their dissatisfaction, such as the one with a sideways face just now, but there are very few such people, and the only one who is not convinced is Zheng Guotai didn't take him seriously at all. Compared with Jin Feilong and Huang Sanpao, this one is at most the level of a little minion. If Biaozi were here at this time, he would be able to scare him to death!

"Don't talk about the good or bad of the leaders, don't talk about the bosses, you better hurry up and talk about what to do now!" Wang Chuan looked at Zheng Guotai's eyes and obviously had a trace of jealousy, these words of love for the people should obviously come out of his mouth, how could Zheng Guotai say it first?

"Sneak attack! I can't think of any other way than a sneak attack! Zheng Guotai spread his hands and said that he had no other way.

"How do you sneak attack? Our tens of thousands of troops are blocking the door. The machine guns of the national army in the guerrilla headquarters are also on the ground, how can they sneak attack? Isn't Leader Zheng drunk and talking nonsense? The one with a meaty face pouted with disdain.

"Bastard!" Zheng Guotai was furious! "Huazi, drag that barking dog out and slaughter it!" Not to mention now, even in the military headquarters of the Five Hundred Army, Gao Quan has never said such a thing to him in person! A small leader of the peasant rebel army, looking at him, is also a boy from an improper background, and he dares to speak disrespectful to the dignified major general and the chief of general affairs? How could Director Zheng tolerate him!
