Chapter 4 People and things belong to Lao Tzu
Gao Han did not pass by and walked towards those prisoners of war.
The prisoners of war had already got out of the car and helped each other unzip the ropes. They were all ragged, pale and thin, but their expressions were extremely excited. The commander of the Sichuan Army, who was about 30 years old, had a strong figure and a thick beard, looked very majestic. He walked up and was about to salute him. Looking at Gao Han wearing the costume of the people, he bowed his fists and said, "This hero has a great name for Gao, thank you for your life-saving grace."
Gao Han had already seen the identity sign on his chest clearly. He was the captain and company commander of the 104th Division of the Sichuan Army, named Guo Hengming. He said: "Company Commander Guo, please call me Gao Jiu. This is not the place to speak. The Japanese reinforcements will arrive immediately. Those who greet you clean the battlefield and evacuate here quickly."
Then, he reminded him: "The military uniforms on the Japanese and puppet troops are good, and they are useful."
Guo Hengming nodded and called on his prisoners to get busy. While cleaning the battlefield, the prisoners of war saw that the Japanese and puppet troops were all shot and killed with one shot. They were extremely shocked and admired.
The sunset is full of sunset, as gorgeous as fire.
The team that was far away from the battlefield stopped and rested by a stream.
The prisoners of war were originally weak in constitution and were hungry. With their enthusiasm for surviving the disaster, they insisted on walking for more than 20 miles, exhausted and limping on the ground.
Gao Han saw the situation of the prisoners of war and said to Jia Liu: "Take out the dry food and bacon, and give them some."
The dry food that Jia Liu brought was oily scallion cakes and fragrant bacon. This treatment can only be obtained by those who came out to perform the mission. The dry food was for three people for three days. They ate some of them this morning and noon, and a lot of them were left. Jia Liu also planned to take it back and keep it for later enjoyment.
He said reluctantly: "Master Jiu, what are you doing for them? It would be great if we saved their lives. We also have to give them food. It's too cheap for them."
Gao Han whispered: "Can we only carry so many things?"
Jia Liu said unconvincedly: "Just pile up the things here, I will go back to the mountain to report the news first, so that our people can come here."
When Gao Han saw that he couldn't understand, he reached out and bounced his head and cursed: "Stupid brat, don't be so petty. Go back and reward you with two Japanese canned foods, go quickly!"
"That's OK." Jia Liu said happily.
Jia Liu took out the dry food bag from the horse's back, hid the largest piece of bacon in his arms, and then handed the rest to Company Commander Guo.
Seeing that all the prisoners of war had eaten, Gao Han walked over.
There were 22 prisoners of war rescued, some from the 104th Division of the 47th Army of the 22nd Army of the Sichuan Army, and some from the direct regiment of the 69th Army of the Jinsui Army. They were all captured in the Xinkou Battle and were always working hard for the Japanese.
Among these people, in addition to Guo Hengming, there was also a platoon leader of the Sichuan Army, a platoon deputy, a company deputy of the Jinsui Army and a platoon leader.
Seeing Gao Han coming, the officers knew that he had something to say, so they surrounded him.
Gao Han asked, "What are your plans next?"
On the way, Guo Hengming and others already knew the identities of Gao Han and others. They did not want to get involved with bandit-like armed forces like Taohua Mountain. The officers had already discussed it and made a decision.
He said: "We want to return to the original troops."
Gao Han wanted to keep these people. These people had participated in the battle against the Japanese army, and were much stronger than the crooked scattered jujubes under his command. However, he knew that these people looked down on the bandits and forced them to stay. It was not a good thing to be with him.
The forced melon is not sweet, Gao Han must try to keep them voluntarily.
He said, "Okay, if you want to leave, just leave. However, there are enemy-occupied areas within hundreds of miles here, so be careful."
Since the officers were captured, they knew almost nothing about the situation outside. Guo Hengming asked: "Do you know where the 22nd Army went after the Xinkou Battle?"
The officers of the Jinsui Army did not inquire, and they had a way to go as long as they returned to Shanxi.
Gao Han said: "After the Xinkou Battle, the Japanese army occupied most of Shanxi, and most of Shandong was lost. The areas east of Taiyuan and north of Xuzhou are basically Japanese-occupied areas. The 22nd Army has already headed to the Xuzhou area. I don't know the specific location. The 122nd Division of the 41st Army should be stationed in Tengxian."
After receiving the news from the old army, Guo Hengming and others were very happy. He said: "Boss, thank you for your life-saving grace. We have nothing to do now, and this kindness will only be rewarded in the future."
Gao Han nodded and said, "You should leave, it's best to change into casual clothes." After that, he introduced the surrounding terrain to the officers.
The officers were very grateful to see Gao Han so enthusiastic. Guo Hengming said embarrassedly: "The boss, we have nothing. Can we lend us some money and weapons?"
Gao Han did not refuse, and promised to give them five o'clock, and the two old sleeves that had smoothed the gun line, gave them all the remaining bullets, and also gave them two Japanese melon grenades. The officers were very happy and said that after finding the old army, they would definitely find opportunities to repay Gao Han in the future.
As night fell, the mountains were still a little cold. Zhang Quan and Jia Liu were cooking fires. When they saw Gao Han coming, they said dissatisfied: "Jiu Master, these people are all ungrateful wolves. We saved their lives and they are unwilling to stay. Besides, we are not rich, just let them leave, why give them something?"
Gao Han smiled and said, "I ask you, would you like to stay?"
Zhang Quan said: "They want to stay, of course. No matter how hard these people are, they are soldiers, and they will definitely be able to fight than those in our village."
Gao Han whispered: "Don't worry, these people can't leave, people and things belong to us."
Zhang Quan asked in confusion: "Why? Aren't they leaving?"
Gao Han smiled and said, "Don't worry, just wait and see."
Zhang Quan didn't believe it in his heart, and turned his head to look at the prisoners of war around the fire. They were discussing something. He turned around and said nothing, and used the wooden stick in his hand to fiddle with the fire.
About half an hour later, Guo Hengming and others walked towards this place.
Gao Han smiled and said, "Zhang Quan, do you dare to bet with me? They will definitely come and ask us to take them in."
Zhang Quan was disbelief and said, "Impossible?"
Guo Hengming and others came over and said, "We have discussed it and decided to stay in Taohua Mountain and ask the boss to take it in."
Gao Han smiled and said, "Welcome, you are all heroes who fight the Japanese. With your joining, we can fight the Japanese together happily."
