Chapter 212 Heading North to Xuzhou
Sure enough, only business could make this person change the subject.
Zhou Weiguo glanced at Xiao Ye and said, "I went to the military headquarters as soon as I came back. The military headquarters went to ask for orders. I guess there will be news tomorrow. Our independent regiment should prepare first. Once we set out, we will leave immediately. We should get more money before his Fourth Division arrives."
"Actually, there is a prominent regiment in the south, we can also..." Fang Shengli suggested.
Zhou Weiguo chuckled, "Most of them here are central troops. We can't take away the looted items, and we have to sell them at a low price. This kind of deal is not cost-effective. Most of them in the Fifth War Zone are local troops. The price will be reasonable by then, which is beneficial to us."
"That's right, we can't do this kind of loss-making business." Xiao Ye nodded repeatedly; "Then I'll go pick up the things quickly so that we can be on the road later.
"Sister, are my brother-in-law and the others talking about stealing something?" Fan Xiaoyu was a little confused.
Was she hallucinating just now, or did she hear it wrongly?
My brother-in-law and the others were talking about robbing the Japanese army.
Xiao Ya looked at her innocent sister for a long time, then raised her hand and touched her head; "Listen more and watch more, you will get used to it in the future."
The independent regiment has several thousand people, and it is impossible for them to be so rich without looting. What do the rest of the Central Army wear? Cloth shoes. What do these people wear? All of them are leather shoes, and everyone has two pairs.
If you don't rob, it's impossible to do this.
At noon the next day, an order came from the military headquarters, and the 74th Army was ordered to move north to support Xuzhou.
In the Battle of Nanjing, the 74th Army, which did not suffer much loss, moved northward in a mighty manner after a day of reorganization. As the best-equipped and strongest independent regiment, it followed the military headquarters.
Ben Yu Huo Huo was planning to send the independent regiment to the front line to show off and let the people in the Fifth War Zone see that his equipment was extraordinary, but when he thought of Zhou Weiguo's ability to cause trouble, he immediately interrupted this idea and let Zhou Weiguo's independent regiment follow him.
Even though they were following the military, the Independent Regiment's powerful military equipment still surprised the defending troops and civilians along the way.
Tanks, armored vehicles, countless trucks and motorcycles, and infantry advancing in an orderly manner are a beautiful landscape no matter where they are.
Moreover, the Air Force also mobilized two squadrons to control the 74th Army in the air to prevent the Japanese from bombing this elite force.
It took nearly ten days for the 74th Army to arrive at the outskirts of Xuzhou after starting from Chuzhou. The Fifth War Zone commander's headquarters allowed the 74th Army to rest and recuperate, while also choosing a suitable place for them to defend.
The town is thirty miles away from Xuzhou. The people who could leave have already left. Those who did not leave were mostly people who were attached to their own three-acre land, and most of them were elderly people.
The independent regiment is now stationed in this town, because the war has spread to the north of Xuzhou. The school and some ancestral halls in the town have long been empty. The independent regiment's medical company, tank company, special agent company and the first battalion are stationed in the town, and the remaining battalions are scattered in the surrounding villages.
Without receiving any combat orders, Zhou Weiguo leisurely put his hands into his sleeves and walked on the street in his cape. After walking around, he sighed and said to Zhao Shoutian beside him, "Hey, Shoutian, where is Xu Hu?"
Damn, I have been here for a few days now, but Xu Hu, my bodyguard, is missing every day. Is he going to die?
Zhao Shoutian has a Mauser pistol hanging on both sides of his waist. He is now also Zhou Weiguo's bodyguard. This is his promise to the boss to take good care of the second in command.
"Second in command, don't you know?" Zhao Shoutian put his hands into his sleeves and said, "Hey." His name is Zhou Weiguo, and he has always been the "Second in Command." Everyone in the regiment knows it.
Zhou Weiguo stopped and asked in confusion, "What do I know?"
Zhao Shoutian slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "Xu Hu wants to be your brother-in-law."
What?
Zhou Weiguo pointed in the direction of the medical company with a buzzing mind; "What did you say? Xu Hu wants to be my brother-in-law."
"That's not good. He keeps going to Fan Xiaoyu every other day. Do you think he's a good guy? When he sees Fan Xiaoyu, he's like an old cat sniffing rotten meat, drooling all over the floor."
Zhou Weiguo really didn't know this. He had to inspect the camps every day. Plus, Zhao Shoutian had just arrived here and was feeling a little lonely, so Zhou Weiguo was the one taking him around. As for Xu Hu, he didn't pay much attention to her.
"I was like this on the way to Xuzhou, you bastard, you wanted to send all the delicious food to Fan Xiaoyu, bah... shame on me."
Zhao Shoutian was still shouting there, and Zhou Weiguo was a little unconvinced. He felt that he had to go and find out what was going on.
Xu Hu had no objection to pursuing Fan Xiaoyu. According to the course of his previous life, Fan Xiaoyu would easily become dependent on him and develop feelings for him in the later period. He thought it would be better to deal with this peach blossom quickly to avoid any trouble.
The medical company is less than fifty meters away from the regiment headquarters. After all, they are a technical branch of the army and need protection. The special forces company and the headquarters of the first battalion are nearby and can arrive at the first time if something happens.
There is no fighting and no casualties, so the medical company does not manage it very strictly.
Before Zhou Weiguo entered the regiment headquarters, he saw Shen Xin who had returned from selling cigarettes at a store outside.
Shen Xin has always smoked, or rather, there are few female soldiers in the medical company who don't smoke. They don't go to the battlefield, but they do face more difficult situations than those who go to the battlefield.
If some seriously injured soldiers cannot be saved, in order to alleviate their pain, the medical company will have to kill them quickly. This is not killing the enemy, this is killing our own people.
It's impossible without some psychological pressure. Besides, on the battlefield, you don't see much blood except for the unlucky ones who get stained with blood and the people around them who are unlucky. But the medical company, as soon as the gunshots are heard, the medical company will immediately enter the treatment state.
They have to deal with blood, screams, and curses all day long. It's a living hell and it's really uncomfortable.
Don't listen to TV dramas where the injured don't say a word and encourage them. That's bullshit.
This is not a knife wound, it is a gunshot wound. Who would not cry out when being shot? Of course, there are exceptions. He was so angry that I don't know if he was injured or not. When you are risking your life, who has time to care about those things?
So the ones who suffered were the medical company, and Zhou Weiguo had separate expenses for the medical company, or the female soldiers had separate meals, a few days a month, with half a pound of brown sugar, as for cigarettes, he had no objection. What qualifications did he have to object to something that relieved stress?
"Hey, Shen Xin." Zhou Weiguo, with a cigarette in his mouth, called Shen Xin who was coming over with two sisters from the medical company.
Shen Xin was currently a lieutenant platoon leader. She glanced at Zhou Weiguo, then spoke to her two sisters. After the two left, she came up to Zhou Weiguo and asked, "What do you want me to do?"
Zhou Weiguo pointed to the medical company; "During Xiaoyu's time..."
"Busy, quite busy. I just went out to eat with Xu Hu." Shen Xin took out two candies and threw one to Zhao Shoutian, then hummed. "Why are you asking this?"
