"The brave soldiers of the Eighth Route Army set the city on fire!"》
This news quickly spread across the country and became the topic of conversation among the common people. Many people were asking about what kind of scene it was at that time.
" Did you see that? Old Hu, you did a good job as a student. You have once again ignited the enthusiasm of the people of the country to resist the Japanese pirates," Head Zhang said as he waved the newspaper in his hand.
Premier Hu sighed and said,"This Zhang Duo is like a child who can't grow up. The moment the devils bombed him, he wanted to bomb them."
"Soldiers have to have the courage to do things! "I think Zhang Duo did a good job this time. I like it very much," said the commander-in-chief.
"But such heroes are rare." The commander-in-chief shook his head and said,"I'm not sure.""Old Zhang, Old Hu, I think we should find a time to call Zhang Duo back. I have a lot of things to ask him."
"Let's wait. It's almost the new year, and it's not easy to mobilize the officers in each station. Speaking of which, boss, Zhang Duo is your subordinate. Do you know how many people he has now?”
"It's just over a thousand points."
"More than a thousand points? Boss, did you not read the report sent by your subordinates recently? Old Hu, this good student, is now a battalion commander in name, and he already has nearly 5,000 subordinates!”Leader Zhang stretched out a hand and said.
" I'm afraid that the people in Yu City have already known about it, but they haven't said anything. It's all because of Zhang Duo's meritorious service," Premier Hu said.
" It's not necessarily because of his meritorious service. I think there might be other considerations in Yu City," Head Zhang said as he lit a cigarette.
"Other considerations?"
"Mm, we'll see. I reckon that in a few days, Zhang Duo will have to receive guests."
Just as Leader Zhang had guessed, before Zhang Duo woke up, he was woken up by Du Wei with a telegram in his hand.
"Old Du, what's wrong? What's the matter?"
" I just received a telegram. It's from Yu City. They're sending an observation group to our independent battalion," Du Wei said as he waved the telegram in his hand.
"Observation group? Why did they send an observation group over for no reason?”Zhang Duo said with a frown. He hated dealing with high-ranking officials and nobles the most. If he had the time, he would rather fight with the soldiers for the fat pork slices in the pot.
" Fine, let them come. Don't be like Wei Changsheng. If they are, I'll teach them a lesson," Zhang Duo said.
Du Wei sat by the bed and said,""Battalion Commander, um…can I have a word with you?”
"If you have something to say, say it. I'm not blocking your mouth."
"Battalion Commander, you see, you're young, it's normal to be a little angry. You have Premier Hu backing you up. Although Brigade Commander Cheng scolds you every day, I can see that he really likes you. But Battalion Commander, we can't be arrogant because of your favor. We still have to do our best on the surface. Otherwise, if we make enemies everywhere, it will bring us trouble one day."
Hearing Du Wei's words, Zhang Duo was silent for a moment before he chuckled and said,""Alright, Old Du, I got it."
Zhang Duo sat up and patted Du Wei's shoulder, saying,""Alright, Old Du, don't worry, I have my limits."
"That's good. One more thing, Battalion Commander. Since the National Army's observation group is here, we can't do what we did to Wei Changsheng last time. At the very least, we have to treat them well in terms of food and accommodation. This concerns the face of the Eighth Route Army."
"Alright, got it."
Zhang Duo called over Li Yunfei and a dozen others and said,""Change into the clothes of the common people. Let's go to Ning County and Lin County to buy things."
"Yes, sir!"
After changing their clothes, they first went to Ning County. Before the Japanese bombing, the population of Ning County had skyrocketed, and all kinds of shops were opened in an endless stream. At that time, it was prosperous. Unfortunately, after the last Japanese bombing, Ning County had not recovered yet. Many shops were not open yet. Zhang Duo could only buy some basic things here.
The rest still had to go to Lin County to buy. The group of people dressed up as porters and swaggered towards Lin County. As soon as they arrived at the provincial capital gate, before Zhang Duo could say anything, the puppet soldier guarding the gate walked over and said,"Hey! Stop! I'm talking to you! What do you do?"
"Boss, we are from Ning County. We came to Ning County to buy something."
"What are you doing? Don't do it again. I'm telling you, you can't blame anyone. You can only blame yourselves for being born in the bandit area. Do you know that it's all that independent battalion of yours, that Zhang Duo guy? Alright, where should I go to register? The city gates will close at five in the afternoon!”
After entering the city, Zhang Duo handed over the matter of purchasing to Li Yunfei and the others, while he found a teahouse to sit down and rest.
"Your conscience! This is really bad! Hand over your money and work!”Just as he was about to drink tea, he saw two Japanese devils and an old man selling yellow rice arguing.
"This person is really bad. I want yellow rice, but he charges me money!”The ghost soldier said loudly, and the surrounding commoners heard it but dared not speak.
"I forgot to bring money, so I don't have any money!”The soldier raised his chin and said.
"Hey, Taijun, you're being unreasonable. Come with me to the security team. Let's have a good chat about this matter."
"Bastard! Who the hell are you! What the hell is the security team!"
