The War of Resistance

Wang Chuan and Xu Lang were very depressed. They followed Cheng Peng's company and ran for dozens of miles. They drank enough water, but they didn't eat a single bite of food. Instead, they ran back again!

Wang Chuan was born a soldier, so his physical strength was quite good.

But Xu Lang was already tired like a dog on the way back!

Fortunately, Shang Zhen's soldiers were not all elite soldiers. He and a few of the soldiers who were not physically strong were in the last group.

It was just that because the incident happened suddenly, he and Wang Chuan did not change their clothes, and their clothes of the Eighth Route Army looked a bit different.

Just when they thought that this run, which was panting and actually made them extremely depressed, would end after returning to the 113th Division's base, an unexpected situation occurred.

Just when their team was about to step onto the main road from the fork road, another army appeared on another fork road.

The road here is in the shape of a "Y". They and the newly appeared army are at the two forks of the "Y", and the middle one leads to the 113th Division's base.

Due to the obstruction of obstacles on the roadside, the two armies were less than a mile away from each other when they appeared.

With the new situation, the team naturally stopped, and when Cheng Peng took a telescope to observe the opposite side carefully for a while, he couldn't help but frowned.

"Who?" Qian Chuan'er asked.

"Zhao Tieying." Cheng Peng answered in a deep voice.

Qian Chuan'er became thoughtful.

It's just that the people of their Northeast Army know who Zhao Tieying is, but Wang Chuanzhong and Xu Lang don't know.

"A regiment commander of our division." Qian Chuan'er introduced them to the two in a low voice.

"Oh." When Xu Lang heard that the team was also from the Northeast Army, he couldn't help but respond.

Although he came to Shang Zhen to find fault this time, he didn't want any accidents.

Since the army that was heading in the opposite direction and would eventually converge on the main road was also from the Northeast Army, at least there would be no fighting.

"Is your battalion under their regiment's control?" Wang Chuan noticed that Qian Chuan'er and Cheng Peng had different expressions and asked.

"We are directly under the division headquarters, and they can't control us." Qian Chuan'er replied.

"Let's go, don't walk too fast, you always have to say hello to others." Cheng Peng said at this time.

So their team started moving again.

The same was true for Zhao Tieying's people opposite them. After discovering Cheng Peng's team, they also paused and must have used telescopes to observe. When they found that they were also from their own division, they also started marching.

Zhao Tieying's people are much more than Chen Peng's people. According to their current position, Zhao Tieying brought at least a battalion of people, and there were more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages behind the team, probably carrying supplies.

As for why Zhao Tieying appeared here, Qian Chuan'er and Cheng Peng didn't say it at all, because they could guess it without saying it.

It should be that the division commander Liu Chengyi felt that the force to protect the division headquarters was still insufficient, so it was normal to transfer Zhao Tieying's regiment here.

The two armies marched on their respective forks, and naturally the distance between them was getting closer and closer, until finally, the two armies met on the main road.

Cheng Peng ran forward, saluted Zhao Tieying, who was wearing an officer's uniform, and then respectfully called out: "Captain Zhao."

A division has three regiments, and a regiment has only a few company commanders? Zhao Tieying and Cheng Peng knew each other.

Zhao Tieying still looked like he didn't show his emotions, but because of his unique hooked nose, he gave people a feeling that he was not easy to get close to.

"Cheng Peng, what are you doing over there?" Zhao Tieying asked curiously.

"Report to Captain Zhao, our team is practicing marching!" Cheng Peng replied quickly.

Zhao Tieying's eyes swept over the sweaty faces of the soldiers in Cheng Peng's company, but finally his eyes fell on Wang Chuan and Xu Lang.

There is really no way to do this. Although the uniforms of the Eighth Route Army and the Northeast Army are both standard uniforms of the National Revolutionary Army, why are the colors of the Eighth Route Army uniforms different from those of the Northeast Army?

"Are these our people?" Zhao Tieying asked.

"Report to Captain Zhao, they are from the Eighth Route Army. The division commander ordered us to take them to the division headquarters!" Cheng Peng answered loudly

When he said this, Wang Chuan and Xu Lang on their side did not change their expressions, but they had their own ideas in their hearts.

Now Cheng Peng answered two questions from Captain Zhao Tieying, whom they did not know, and there were lies in both answers.

In the first sentence, he did not say that Leng Xiaozhi was missing, but said that he was out for training.

In the second sentence, the reason why the two of them were in the Northeast Army was directly pushed to the division headquarters by Qian Chuan.

This answer is very clever. If Captain Zhao wants to know the specific situation, then go and ask the division commander, at least it will save a lot of words.

From Cheng Peng's answer, they can also feel that Shang Zhenying does not seem to have a harmonious relationship with Captain Zhao.

Zhao Tie frowned as he listened to Cheng Peng's report. Obviously, he also found Cheng Peng's answer impeccable. No matter what he thought in his heart, he could only wave his hand and said, "Then go to the division headquarters!"

"How can we rush to the front of Captain Zhao? You go first!" Cheng Peng said hurriedly, and then signaled his soldiers to wait in place.

Zhao Tieying snorted without comment, and said nothing else. He waved his hand, and the soldiers he led went to the main road.

However, just as Zhao Tieying was about to run, he saw Qian Chuan'er in the team and said, "You little squinty-eyed guy, you look so attractive!"

"Thank you, Captain Zhao, for your compliment!" Qian Chuan'er put his feet together in the team, stood at attention and answered with his chest held high.

"One day I will transfer you to our regiment!" Zhao Tieying joked.

"Thank you, Captain Zhao, for your support!" Qian Chuan'er answered flawlessly.

After that, Zhao Tieying stopped talking and moved forward with the team, while Qian Chuan'er stood at attention and saluted.

Qian Chuan'er was an active member of Shang Zhen's camp. Many people from top to bottom in the division knew him, and Zhao Tieying also knew that Qian Chuan'er was collecting intelligence for Shang Zhen.

As for Zhao Tieying's transfer of Qian Chuan'er to their regiment, both parties, whether Zhao Tieying or Qian Chuan'er, knew that it was impossible.

Same in front of people, same behind people, hypocritical, this is the Chinese officialdom!

Qian Chuan'er watched the people from Zhao Tieying's regiment walk past him. It was only a moment before he saw Zhao Mingxuan. The two nodded to each other as a greeting.

But then, Qian Chuan'er saw a platoon leader under Zhao Tieying also walk past him.

He knew that platoon leader as Ren Hai. He had also had a drink with Ren Hai before, and they had a good relationship.

Seeing Zhao Tieying and Zhao Mingxuan walk past. Qian Chuan'er smiled and made a gesture of raising his glass to Ren Hai.

But to his surprise, Ren Hai certainly saw him, but pretended not to see him, as if he didn't know him, and walked past him with a serious expression.

Hmm? Qian Chuan's face was still smiling, but he had already drawn a question mark in his heart.

Because he knew that people with a personality like Ren Hai always put their worries on their faces. If you asked him to act according to the situation, he would not do it at all. He was a very true person.

Why did this kid treat him like this? Qian Chuan'er was lost in thought.

This reminded him of the mystery of Mo Jianchen's sacrifice. Shang Zhen had told him to pay more attention to Zhao Tieying's regiment. You should know that at that time, the only Northeast Army in Shuiquan Town besides our battalion was Zhao Mingxuan under Zhao Tiejun.

Then what does the attitude of someone like Hai who can't hide his thoughts mean? At least he shouldn't be their enemy, right?
