Chapter 625 Preparations for the New 4th Division
Chapter 625 Preparations for the New 4th Division
squeak! Zhizhi!
The sound of the tires rubbing against the shells was very harsh. When the plane slowed down and followed the guidance of the ground crew into the hangar, Shen Honglie opened the hatch and cursed.
"Huh, you bastard, you made me dizzy."
Howard wasn't angry either, he was a naturally happy and cheerful guy.
"Baosi, don't be angry. I just want you to feel that you got good value for money. After all, two yellow croakers are not cheap. I can't let you feel that the planes you fly are the same as those of the flight trainees."
Shen Honglie got off the plane speechlessly. His legs were obviously shaking. It took him a while to stand up straight. I wonder how many stunts Howard had done along the way. He must have been so shaken!
"Brother, don't look for this old guy next time. He almost made me vomit on the plane just now."
"Fuck, fuck, I was wrong. I promise to fly the plane properly next time."
Howard stayed at the airport on his own initiative, and Chen Feng drove here. However, Shen Honglie said that it would be more comfortable to ride a horse. He had already been airsick, and if he got carsick, it would be really easy to vomit.
Chen Feng had no plan to go back to Guimengding as it was too troublesome to go up and down, so he took Shen Honglie back to the military village in Dawa.
"What is this place?"
"The guerrillas' military village is also home to some disabled veterans. My father also lives here. He comes back to my house to have a meal and chat."
"Hey brother, why didn't you tell me earlier? No, no, I'll go next time, next time. I haven't prepared anything."
Chen Feng grabbed Shen Honglie's reins.
"Let's just have a simple meal. My dad may not be at home. What do you need to prepare? Don't be so polite to me."
Shen Honglie stopped worrying about it. He decided to prepare a generous gift when he returned and bring it with him next time.
When several veteran soldiers saw their captain coming in with a stranger, they automatically lowered their guard, said hello, and went about their business.
"Hey! Why are you back? Your father went to the mountain to dig Salvia miltiorrhiza."
The few people were stopped by Liu Minggui on the way. Seeing a stranger, Liu Minggui did not call Chen Feng or Xiao Feng.
"It's okay, he's busy with his own things. I brought a friend back to discuss some things."
Liu Minggui consciously did not follow Chen Weiping back to his home.
"Your family hasn't prepared anything, so I'll ask Caiyun to cook and send over. What's that little girl's name? Come home with me! I'll send it over when it's ready."
Song Zihan got off the horse obediently, picked up Xiaoguai, who was led by Liu Minggui, and put him on the horse, then led the horse and followed Liu Minggui.
"Come on, there's no need for me to cook. Let's go home first."
The horses were tied to the trees at the door. Two transplanted pear trees had produced some unripe fruits. The two horses found good food. They tilted their buckets to roll up the fruits from the trees and ate them with great pleasure.
The door was not locked, as if no one in this village locked their door. When I entered the room, I found it very clean. My father was a hardworking man. He usually only grew some vegetables. He had plenty of free time, so he kept the vegetable patch in the yard tidy.
After making some tea, Chen Feng sat comfortably on his father's recliner, and the two of them lit up cigarettes and puffed away.
"Brother, the war has started between the Russian bear and Hans, will it be over there soon?"
"It's hard to say! My guess is the end of this year, but we can't speculate too much on this matter. It depends on the courage of Chicken Foot Pencil. No one knows what plan Chicken Foot Pencil will make. It may only take a few days, or it may take several months. However, our brothers in the south have sent information that the Japanese have become even crazier in Jiaozhi and the Kuril Islands."
"Brother, I have a plan. Do you think it's suitable? I always feel that it's too far to bypass Shanhaiguan. From Penglai to Dalian, there are many islands of different sizes. Do you think it's okay for me to send people to occupy them now? If we occupy them all, we will have the opportunity to launch an attack on Dalian."
"It's very dangerous! We don't have even the slightest advantage in terms of air and sea control. Once we are surrounded by Japanese warships, it's okay for larger islands, but the small islands are all within the range of the ships' guns, and a tragedy can easily happen!"
Shen Honglie was silent. He had thought about it countless times. It was too dangerous. Besides, Dalian was not so easy to occupy. Even if it was captured, it would be difficult to withstand the encirclement of the Japanese.
Chen Feng was also smoking while thinking about the route that the New Fourth Division would take to penetrate into Guandong. It was difficult. It wouldn't work on the sea, and it seemed very difficult to go around the Bohai Sea and into Shanhaiguan.
There was a noise at the door. Chen Weiping had come back, and the two of them hurried out of the main room to greet him.
"Dad, are we going up the mountain to dig up Salvia miltiorrhiza?"
Chen Weiping didn't think about it so complicatedly. Although the child was a stranger, since he could bring the child back, he could trust him absolutely.
"I have nothing to do, so I dug some up, dried it, and soaked it in water to drink. Xiaofeng, who is this?"
"Dad, let me introduce you. This is Commander Shen Honglie of the New Fourth Division. He is my elder brother. Our guerrillas have received a lot of help from him."
"Oh! Brother, don't say that. It was your guerrillas who took care of our New Fourth Division. Uncle, did you dig up the Salvia miltiorrhiza and soak it in water because you feel uncomfortable in your heart?"
Chen Feng was shocked, he thought that Danshen could be soaked in water like tea.
"What's wrong, Dad? Are you feeling unwell?"
"It's okay, it's an old problem, I just have a little heart pain occasionally."
"Then let me take you to see Sister Caiyun?"
Chen Weiping evenly spread the salvia miltiorrhiza on the stone mill to dry it. He scraped off a lot of it, and it felt like there were about two or three pounds after drying.
"Don't make such a fuss. I asked a doctor to take my pulse and he said that I just need to drink water soaked with Salvia miltiorrhiza and I'll cook for you. You guys come in and have some tea. I'll cook for you."
Chen Feng felt a little uncomfortable because his father never mentioned any difficulties he had, for fear of disturbing him.
"Don't cook. Uncle Liu saw me bringing my friends back and has already prepared lunch. Xiao Zihan is also there."
"Okay, you guys continue chatting, I'll wash my hands and go over to take a look."
Chen Weiping didn't want to disturb the children, so he washed his hands and went next door. He could already smell the aroma of food and hear Liu Minggui's instructions.
Chen Feng and Shen Honglie returned to the house, lit a cigarette and continued:
"Brother Shen, my father and the others will go abroad with the next group of team members heading south."
Shen Honglie was shocked. He knew something about the plan to go south, but it was very vague. His brothers were going to send their loved ones over, and it seemed that they really didn't consider the disputes at home. They would probably run away after defeating the Japanese!
"Leave me a nest, it's also a way out. The New Fourth Division has too many military achievements. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being fat. I can't bear to let my brothers be harmed by others. Sooner or later, ~".
Chen Feng nodded and continued to think about the strategy of the New Fourth Division's march into the Northeast. The sea route was impassable, and the land route was also difficult. What about the air route? Chen Feng laughed at himself. Parachuting from a transport plane? That was too far-fetched.
"Xiaofeng, the food is served!"
Liu Minggui was holding a large basket and was afraid of hearing something he shouldn't hear, so he shouted loudly before he even entered the door.
Xiaoguai followed behind obediently, gnawing on a piece of pork liver in his hand, with a puppy wandering around at his feet. Chen Feng remembered this puppy, and it was obviously bigger than when he first saw it. Next time, Xiaoguai would also set out with his family, and he wondered if he would bring the little black dog with him.
