Chapter 40: A toast or a forfeit
"Heh, looks like you came prepared. Alright, let's take a look together.”Hao Deshan stepped forward, grabbed Commander Liu by the back of his neck, and dragged him to the window.
"Gou Wanzi, what are you doing there? Be careful not to get caught in the fire.”Zhao Daquan shouted at Gou Wanzi.
Gou Wanzi replied indifferently,"Don't worry, Regiment Commander. My gun isn't aimed at you. Even if it goes off, you won't be hurt.”
The few people standing against the wall were about to cry. The gun was not pointed at them, but at us. Moreover, it was the kind that could fire at any time with the nose open.
Gou Wanzi didn't care about this. He continued to fiddle with the box cannon with great interest."Regiment commander, I have never played with this kind of gun before. Is it possible to fire continuously if I turn the switch to this side?”
Zhao Daquan ignored him because Hao Deshan shouted excitedly,""Guild Leader, come and see. There are so many people outside.”
Zhao Daquan came to the window and looked outside. He saw that there were about a hundred security guards standing around the restaurant with loaded guns, as if they were facing a great enemy. At the entrance of the restaurant, two people who looked like military officers were walking back and forth with box cannons.
Commander Liu smiled proudly and snorted.
Zhao Daquan returned to the table and sat down nonchalantly. He picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of red braised pork, and threw it into his mouth. As he chewed, he said,"Mm, it's delicious. Second Battalion Commander, tell him to look into the distance. Don't make him look like a rat, short-sighted.”
Hao Deshan shook Commander Liu." Did you hear that? Our commander wants you to look far away. Don't imitate those rats."”
Commander Liu raised his head and looked into the distance. Large beads of sweat immediately dripped down.
Fifty to a hundred meters away from the security guards, there were ten machine guns on the walls and roofs.
These machine guns formed a three-sided encirclement, trapping the soldiers within the fire net.
"Can we sit down and have a drink now?”Zhao Daquan said as he looked at Commander Liu mockingly.
Hao Deshan pushed Commander Liu to the table.""Did you hear that? Our regiment commander thinks highly of you and wants you to have a drink. Don't be so shameless.”
Commander Liu knew that he had completely lost. He sat down obediently.
"It seems like Commander Liu doesn't like to drink a toast and is good at drinking a forfeit?”Zhao Daquan looked at him and said.
"No, no, you can't blame Commander Liu for this. It's my fault.”The mayor quickly stepped forward to smooth things over.
"What's wrong? You like to drink the hard way? No wonder you didn't drink the toast just now." Hao Deshan glared at him, which scared the mayor so much that he shivered and stood there, not knowing what to do.
"Second Battalion Commander, he's still the Mayor, a civilized person. We should be more polite.”Zhao Daquan was still smiling as he spoke.
"Yes, Guild Leader." Hao Deshan replied and turned to the mayor.""Did you hear that? Our regiment commander said to be more polite, so you should f * cking sit down.”
Therefore, under Hao Deshan's " politeness ", the mayor hurriedly sat down at the table.
"Hey, and the few of you, whatever guild leader, please take a seat quickly.”Zhao Daquan said to the others.
Seeing this, the few of them hurriedly found a place to sit down.
"Look, this is so good. We're a family.”Zhao Daquan laughed and said," Oh right, Commander Liu, it's not good for your men to stand here, right? Should we let them go first? I'll leave those broken spears here for now. They can't be lost.”
Commander Liu waved his hand helplessly. They were about to leave when Hao Deshan stopped them,""Wait, after you guys go down, tell the people below to put their guns on the ground and line up for orders. Remember, otherwise, it would be no fun if those machine guns went off.”
Zhao Daquan quickly pretended to be enlightened."Right, right. How could I have forgotten about this? Our brothers were so angry at Taierzhuang two days ago that they were still firing in their dreams. Remember what the second battalion commander said.”
The few of them quickly nodded and bowed in agreement before running down.
"You came down from Taierzhuang?”The district head quickly asked.
"That's right." Zhao Daquan nodded.
" There's been a rumor going around that a suicide squad destroyed the Japanese's headquarters. They're the ones who contributed to the victory at Taierzhuang. Could it be…" The district head quickly speculated.
"There are more than two hundred brothers, and only these few are left. Moreover, most of them are injured.”Zhao Daquan said sorrowfully as he picked up his wine cup. He stood up and spilled the wine all over the floor."Brothers, please rest in peace. We have already avenged you.”
Everyone was stunned. Moments later, Commander Liu stood up and saluted Zhao Daquan."Regiment Commander Zhao, this Liu had eyes but failed to recognize Mount Tai. I didn't know that you were anti-Japanese heroes.”
Zhao Daquan returned the greeting." It's not too much to know. Commander Liu is too polite."”
Footsteps came from the stairs again. The two men with short guns barged in."Guild Leader, what's going on?"
Commander Liu turned around and pointed at the window.""Do as they say. Don't you see that there are more than ten machine guns aimed at you? Go and take a look yourself?"
The two of them looked out of the window and immediately broke out in cold sweat. Due to the terrain, they really couldn't see the machine guns below.
The two of them answered "yes" and were about to go downstairs when Commander Liu called them back."Leave your guns behind too. Don't cause trouble for me.”
The two of them put down their guns and walked downstairs. Immediately after, the sound of guns landing on the ground and the command of the entire team came from downstairs.
"Come, come. Let's forget about the past. Let's toast to our future friendly cooperation."”
This time, it was no longer a " punishment " but a " toast ". Thus, everyone raised their glasses and drank happily.
Next, both parties toasted each other, and the banquet continued in a friendly and pleasant atmosphere.
After three rounds of wine, Zhao Daquan said to Gou Wanzi,"Wan Zi, take out our official documents and show them to Commander Liu and the mayor.”
Gou Wanzi replied and took out the " notice " that Zhao Daquan had created from a satchel on his back. He then handed it over to Commander Liu.
Regiment Commander Liu quickly waved his hand." Regiment Commander Zhao, you don't have to be so polite. I have no doubt about your identity. Let's not talk about anything else. Just based on the skills of this second battalion commander, I admire him.”
Zhao Daquan smiled and said to him," Commander Liu, it's better for you to take a look. This matter not only concerns my identity as a junior, but also the mission that the higher-ups have given me.”
