Chapter 11 Battlefield Exchange 2
The exchange site with the Japanese was arranged next to the main road at the entrance of the village. Chen Dalong, Su Rui, Xia Changfu, Peng Min and other military officers stood by the woods not far from the road in strict appearance. Next to them stood the Hotan couple. The uniforms of the troops on guard were clean and tidy, their guns were polished and their bayonets were shining. The entrance to the village was crowded with villagers, vying to see what the Japanese imperial concubine looked like and to witness the scene of exchanges with the Japanese.
Chen Dalong tidied up more deliberately today than usual. He cut his hair short last night. His white-washed military uniform was spotless. He had a shell gun on his left and right, making him look fresh, capable and majestic. Suri is also in military uniform, carrying two rifles, and his majesty is not bad at all. The two glanced at each other. Chen Dalong shrugged and said nothing. Su Rui rubbed his neck and said, "According to the plan we studied, four platoons were arranged on the high ground on both sides to hide and standby. One squad would go out ten miles in front and head towards A warning was issued in the direction of the Xu family. After the exchange was completed, the troops took turns to cover the transfer of supplies to Ranzhuang. It can be said to be foolproof!"
He said with satisfaction: "Be prepared! Even Otsuka Takeo would not dare to bet on this imperial aunt. ." A little dust fell on the military uniform, and he carefully flicked it off with his hands. This detail was noticed by Peng Min, and she smiled.
In the woods, apart from a few horse-drawn carts, there were also Shandong's unique one-wheeled carts. Chen Dalong looked at these carts and sighed: "Old Xia, you still have a way to solve this big problem!"
"I'll follow you. The village party secretary told us about our difficulties, and the village party secretary said, this is easy to handle! So he mobilized the masses!"
"What did Chairman Mao say? Mobilizing the people will lead to the disaster of annihilation of the enemy. In the vast ocean! The people in Shandong are so kind! Including your father." He glanced at Peng Min.
Xia Changfu poked him and made a funny face at him, and he pulled Xia Changfu's hand away.
Peng Min smiled sweetly and said nothing.
Chen Dalong walked up to Shinsuke Wada and his wife: "Please bear with me if you have not taken good care of me these days! Your life here is much better than that of us Eighth Route Army soldiers!"
The Wada and his wife said in unison: "Thank you for your care! Thank you for your care!"
Shinsuke Wada said with emotion: "In the past few days, we have personally felt the generosity of the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party, and we can never forget it!"
Mihoko Wada, wearing a Japanese kimono: "Although we are members of the Japanese royal family, you Not only did he not kill us, he also took good care of us. I really don’t know what to say!" He bowed deeply.
Su Rui said: "What we want to eliminate are the Japanese warlords who launched the war of aggression! The Emperor of Japan has an unshirkable responsibility for this war! One day, he will also be judged by history and conscience!"
"After going back, , if you have the opportunity to meet the emperor, please convey a message for me, the Chinese are not to be messed with!" Chen Dalong said proudly.
The Hotan couple nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! Definitely! Definitely!"
Peng Min smiled: "If there was no war, I believe we would have become friends." She had often been with the Japanese imperial aunt in the past two days, and they interacted with each other. We got along very well with each other.
Four trucks drove in from a distance, rolling up smoke and dust. The first three trucks carried supplies, and the last one carried dozens of Japanese and puppet troops.
The truck stopped, and the commander of the puppet army, Qiu Fucai, got out of the car, followed by a Japanese major and two puppet soldiers, all of whom were wearing brand-new military uniforms and shiny guns. According to the agreement in advance, the Japanese and puppet soldiers in the car were not allowed to get off before people were exchanged. Dozens of Japanese and puppet troops stood obediently on the car.
walked up to Chen Dalong and others. After the two sides saluted, Qiu Fucai said: "Company Commander Chen, I've brought the things! Here is the list. Let's go through it!" He still couldn't let go and couldn't say the word "please" casually. After handing over the list, he took a heavy paper bag from the guard and handed it to Chen Dalong: "This is 250 yuan."
Chen Dalong didn't even look at the list, handed it to Lin Xiaochong, and took the 250 yuan. Weighed it and handed it to the correspondent for counting. Then he waved his hand. Lin Xiaochong ran towards the road with three soldiers, Peng Min and the health worker. They got into a car in pairs to check ammunition and medicines. Lin Xiaochong opened a box, which contained Japanese-style grenades, and then opened another box, which contained a box full of Type 38 bullets. While counting, he was so happy that he could not close his mouth.
Peng Min checked the list, as excited as a child, and his eyes seemed to be exhausted: "Purple tincture, tetracycline , streptomycin , quinine! Ah, penicillin !"
Here, both sides The people stood silently, not looking at each other. After the correspondent finished ordering the ocean, he reported: "Company commander, the ocean is 250 yuan, a lot is a lot!"
"Company commander, no problem!" Lin Xiaochong and others ran back to report, and Peng Min also nodded to Chen Dalong.
After Chen Dalong exchanged glances with Su Rui and Xia Changfu, he waved his hand. Several large vehicles and dozens of wheelbarrows came out of the woods and rushed to the road. Under the command of the troops, they hurriedly got off the vehicles. Moving supplies.
Seeing that the materials were almost moved, Qiu Fucai opened his mouth: "Company Commander Chen, will you hand it over?"
Chen Dalong said to the Hotan couple next to him: "It's intact!"
Qiu Fucai bowed to the Hotan couple: "Kunijiwa ! (Hello) I am here to welcome Wada and his wife back on the orders of Lieutenant Colonel Takeo Otsuka! You two are frightened!" The Japanese Major also bowed: "Kunijiwa!" in Japanese.
The Hotan couple said in unison: "I've made you tired!"
Qiu Fucai turned to one side and stretched out his hand respectfully, indicating that the Hotan couple should go first.
"Wait!" Peng Min stopped them, walked up and handed a box of medicine to Mihoko Wada: "This is theophylline for treating asthma. I found it in the car just now. Remember to be on time. Take the medicine!"
Mihoko Wada bowed deeply to Peng Min gratefully: "Dr. Peng, thank you for your trouble! Thank you! I will always remember you!"
Both Chen Dalong and Su Rui were impressed by Peng Min's carefulness and thoughtfulness. Moved, the two couldn't help but look at each other, and then turned their heads away as if nothing had happened.
After walking a few steps, the Hotan couple stopped in unison and turned around slowly, bowing deeply as if to Chen, Xia, Su, Peng and others, as well as to the Eighth Route Army and the common people. , then slowly turned around and walked towards the truck with some reluctance, turning back step by step.
Dozens of Japanese and puppet troops on the bus jumped out of the car and lined up on both sides of the road with guns in hand.
Qiu Fucai said: "Company Commander Chen, sign for it! I'll go back and explain to the Japanese!" and handed over another copy. Checklist.
He glanced at the list, which was the same as before, then looked at Qiu Fucai, took the brush handed over by the correspondent, and neatly wrote on it "Accept all as ordered. Eighth Route Army Special Agent Company Chen Dalong May 1945."
Peng Min saw the words he wrote for the first time, with a look of surprise on his face.
Qiu Fucai collected the list and said: "Company Commander Chen, see you later!" He saluted and turned around to leave.
Chen Dalong looked at the background of Qiu Fucai's departure and said: "Captain Qiu, do you want to continue to be a traitor? Little Japan's days are not long?"
Qiu Fucai stopped for a moment, and left without looking back or answering. Four trucks Gone away in the dust.
Our large and small vehicles also evacuated in an orderly manner.
After Peng Min gave instructions to the cart transporting medicines, he walked over and said with a happy smile: "Great! These medicines are so precious! I will definitely ask the division chief when I get back and give you credit for being a special agent!"
Chen Dalong: "Then thank you Dr. Peng!"
"You can't tell, Company Commander Chen's calligraphy is so good!"
Xia Changfu rushed to say: "Chen Company Commander's calligraphy is good, and the battle is better! Fighting with the bayonet, picking the pick in one breath He killed seven Japanese and taught the traitors and big landlords a lesson, so majestic!"
"Big landowner?" Peng Min asked doubtfully.
Chen Dalong tugged hard on Xia Changfu's clothes and almost knocked him down: "Don't listen to the instructor! He is saying that big traitors like Qiu Fucai and Wu Shanren should all be taught a lesson and killed!"
Peng Min saluted them with a smile: "Company Commander Chen, Instructor Xia, it's time for me to leave. Thank you for taking care of me these days. Thank you! Goodbye!" He took the initiative to extend his hand. Chen Dalong quickly reached out and shook her hand.
Xia Changfu held her hand and said deliberately: "If you want to thank me, thank Company Commander Chen. Company Commander Chen has put a lot of... thought into it!"
Peng Min smiled and said nothing, looking at Chen Dalong. He hurriedly explained: "Don't listen to the instructor's nonsense! There are so many people and so many things, so you have to think carefully. Doctor Peng, please bear with me if there is any lack of care?"
Peng Min smiled: " Goodbye!" He turned around and walked away, then turned back and waved to them.
"Goodbye!" They also waved to each other and walked out of sight. Chen Dalong hadn't put down his hand yet and stared blankly at the direction she was walking. Xia Changfu pushed him: "You've gone far, don't be reluctant to leave her? "
"Fuck you!"
Su Rui arranged the cover and transfer of the troops and came over: "Dalong, everything is arranged, my mission is completed, I'm leaving!"
"Company Commander Su, take care!"
"Company Commander Chen, take care!"
Wenjiagou Village.
Lin Xiaochong entered the room panting: "Company Commander, I'm back!"
"Has all the money been delivered?"
"A lot of money!"
"Did you get that IOU back?"
"No!"
Chen Dalong Puzzled: "Why?"
"Mr. Peng said that he wanted to keep that IOU as a souvenir."
"Keep it as a souvenir? What do you mean? For this old money man, even an IOU is a good thing! That's all, we I'm not afraid that he will come after me in the future!"
"That's not the case! He gave us another receipt back!" He took out a note from his pocket.
Chen unfolded the note, which read: "Today I received 470 yuan from the Eighth Route Army's special agent company for food. Hereby. Ancestor Peng, started on May 18, 1945"
"Haha, interesting! Keep it, instructor!"
