Got it!

……

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Yoshio Shinozuka, the commander of the 1st Army of the Japanese Army stationed in Shanxi, issued a notice to invite all senior generals of the 1st Army above the head of the major general brigade to a banquet at the Taiyuan Headquarters.

It is said that only senior generals above the major general will be entertained.

But there are exceptions, two senior officers also received dinner invitations.

One chief is Kazuki Yamamoto, and the other is Kuroshima Morita.

Kazuki Yamamoto was able to receive the invitation because Yoshio Shinozuka attached great importance to Kazuki Yamamoto's special operations theory, while Morita Kuroshima was purely in the honor of members of the royal family.

Kuroshima Morita originally didn't want to go,

But he couldn't hold back Maeda Hideo's kind invitation, so he could only go with him.

But before leaving, Kuroshima Morita called Nishitakeichi to him.

"Mr. Xizhu, during the two days I'm not here, you must restrain the entire alliance."

"Until I come back, no one is allowed to step out of the stronghold easily."

"Especially Jiro, you must watch him for me, and you must not let him do anything reckless."

"Hayi!" Nishitake said after a pause, "Don't worry, Captain, I will definitely take good care of Jiro and the entire alliance during the two days you are away."

"Yo Xi."

Only then did Kuroshima Morita leave in peace.

For safety on the road, Kuroshima Morita took away the armored vehicle squadron in addition to the guard squad.

But Kuroshima Jiro, who was the captain of the security team, did not follow, saying that he had a bad stomach from eating last night, and Nishitake could probably guess what Kuroshima Jiro was thinking.

It was nothing more than wanting to sneak out to burn, kill and loot while the captain was away.

But he didn't worry much about it, because he could stop it.

The military discipline of the Japanese army is still very strict. When the regiment leader is absent, he is the deputy of the regiment.

However, the morale of the Black Island United team does have some problems now.

So Xizhu wanted to boost morale through the New Year.

In order to have a good year as much as possible, Xizhuyi also spent a lot of thought.

First, I contacted the maintenance chairman of Baijia Village and bought 10,000+ catties of wheat straw from the surrounding villages.

These straws were then piled up outside the Huting stronghold, and a bunch of bonfires were lit every 50 meters.

The puppet army was also asked to keep adding wheat straw to ensure that these dozens of piles of bonfires could continue to burn all night, so that the Japanese army in the stronghold could find Tubalu coming from afar.

Doing so requires the consumption of large amounts of straw.

But the Japanese army in the stronghold can live a peaceful year.

By the way, since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the Spring Festival has been changed to January [-]st of the Gregorian calendar, which is New Year’s Day, and the first day of the first month of the lunar calendar has become the old Spring Festival, but until now, most Japanese people are still used to celebrating the original. The old Spring Festival, the Japanese really got used to the new Spring Festival until after the defeat and surrender.

After it got dark, Xi Zhuyi invited all the officers to the cafeteria of the stronghold.

Li Yunlong plans to let the independent team celebrate the New Year ahead of schedule, while Xizhuyi plans to let the Black Island United team celebrate for two days.

He is even planning to contact the comfort station in Yangquan County at noon tomorrow and send a group of comfort women to Huting stronghold.

In the cafeteria, a banquet has been set up, and the food and drink are extremely rich, and there are even traditional Japanese delicacies such as sashimi and sushi, and of course Japanese sake is indispensable.

"Gentlemen, today is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month,"

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the day after tomorrow is the old Spring Festival."

"Here, I would like to wish everyone a happy new year in advance."

After finishing speaking, Xizhu raised the wine cup, and the officers also raised their wine glasses one after another.

Only Jiro Kuroshima sat still, and this little devil also dragged his "sick body" to the dinner.

Nishitake glanced at Jiro Kuroshima, and then said: "While wishing everyone a happy New Year, I also want to make three chapters with you. In the two days when the captain is away, I hope you can restrain your troops and don't fight. Don't make trouble, especially don't go out privately, it's a violation of military law!"

"Hayi." Dozens of officers stood up and nodded.

Xi Zhuyi said again: "However, as a New Year's gift, the kitchen will provide you with delicious food and wine for the past two days, and tomorrow at noon there will be comfort women coming to work in the army. Let's enjoy it to the fullest."

"On board!" The officers cheered after hearing the words.

Kuroshima Jiro finally followed suit and nodded his head.

But this little devil's heart has already flown out of the stronghold.

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

For the Chinese, it is also the most important festival of the year.

If there is no accident, the Eighth Route Army will also celebrate the New Year. In other words, these three days should be the time when the Eighth Route Army's guard is the most lax, and perhaps this opportunity can be used to teach them a lesson.

It's just that instructor Xizhu is an obstacle, and he will definitely stop him.

Thinking of this, Jiro Kuroshima picked up his wine glass and walked towards Nishitakeichi.

"Instructor." Jiro Kuroshima said, holding a glass of wine, "I respect you."

Before Nishitakeichi was transferred to the Kuroshima United Team as the deputy captain, like Kei Tojo, he had served as the equestrian instructor of Kuroshima Jiro and his group of non-commissioned officers, so Kuroshima Jiro was more used to calling him an instructor.

"Jiro." Saijo said after a slight pause, "Is your health better?"

"It's not completely healed yet." Jiro Kuroshima said, "But a few drinks should be fine."

"Try to drink as little as possible." Saijo Kaichi warned, "Alcohol can irritate the stomach and aggravate the condition."

"Hai." Jiro Kuroshima said, "After toasting the instructor's glass of wine, I will return to the dormitory to rest."

"Yo Xi." Saijo Kazu readily accepted, and then got out of hand.

After Kuroshima Jiro, officers one after another stepped forward to toast.

Xi Zhuyi originally only wanted to drink a few cups, but he forgot all about it as soon as he got up.

In the end, he got drunk.

……

In Yangcun.

The sky gradually darkened.

The backyard of the regiment headquarters of the independent regiment was rarely brightly lit.

Not only the hatchback of the upper room, but even the yard is full of tables, with a total of more than a dozen tables.

Although it is simpler, there are still a few hard dishes, which can be regarded as high-quality noodles for the Eighth Route Army, and it is rare to eat them once a year.

Guan Dashan, Zhang Dabiao, Sun Desheng and more than a hundred cadres walked into the backyard talking and laughing, and they were immediately happy when they saw the dozen or so tables of banquets.

Good guy, so rich?

Hearing the chatter and laughter outside, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, and Wang Ye also came out from the upper room.

"Brothers, come, come and sit." Li Yunlong greeted, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."

While talking, Lao Wang, the head of the cooking squad, brought over a dozen pots of hot dumplings with a dozen cooks.

"Hey, there are still dumplings to eat?" Wei Dayong took a steamed dumpling from the basin in Old Wang's hand and said with a smile, "What day is it today?"

"Monk, have you become dizzy from practicing horsemanship?" Sun Desheng joked, "Today is New Year's Eve."

"You're just out of your mind." Wei Dayong fought back while chewing the dumplings, "New Year's Eve is tomorrow."

While the two were bickering, nearly a hundred battalion, company and platoon cadres had already been seated, and a dozen tables were almost full. The independent regiment is really strong now.

Li Yunlong laughed and said: "The monk is right, tomorrow is New Year's Eve."

"But our independent group's New Year's Eve dinner doesn't have to wait until tomorrow, it's tonight."

Zhang Dabiao said casually: "Commander, why should the New Year's Eve dinner be brought forward? Is there something particular about it?"

"Hey, I'll keep it a secret for now, and I'll tell you guys later." Li Yunlong smiled and said, "This year is a rare and fat year for our independent group."

"So we must have a good meal and celebrate!"

"By the way, I also wish that our independent group will have a fatter and fatter year next year!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and said to Zhao Gang: "Old Zhao, why didn't I see wine? How can the New Year's Eve dinner be done without wine? Such a good dish must have wine, take out the wine quickly."

"No." Zhao Gang flatly refused, "You can't drink."

Li Yunlong was not happy when he heard it, and said angrily: "Eat a New Year's Eve dinner without wine."

Zhao Gang also refused, and said in a deep voice, "If you don't want to eat, no one will force you."

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel again, Wang Ye hurriedly got up to smooth things over: "Political commissar, they say that drunkenness is a mistake, so you have to be drunk to make mistakes, right? Drinking in moderation is still okay."

Kong Jie also said: "Political commissar, the brothers have been busy for a whole year. Let's have a big fight at the New Year's Eve dinner tonight. This is the only way to think about it all year round."

At this time, Zhao Gang actually felt a little regretful.

It's just that I said too fast just now, and I can't take it back.

But now Wang Ye and Kong Jie gave him a step and went down.

At that moment Zhao Gang nodded and said, "Then everyone has one bowl, and only one bowl is allowed."

When Li Yunlong wanted to fight again, he was stopped by Wang Ye, and he turned his back to Zhao Gang and said with his lips: "Big bowl!"

Li Yunlong understood, turned around and shouted: "Old Wang, change to a big bowl, you must have a big bowl when drinking! Today we will learn from Liangshan heroes, drink big bowls and eat meat with big pieces, haha."

Chapter 81

"Okay." Old Wang agreed, and immediately took the cook to replace it with a large bowl.

Zhao Gang pointed at Li Yunlong, and said, dumbfounded: "Old Li, you really know how to take advantage of loopholes?"

Li Yunlong laughed, watched Kong Jie fill his bowl with wine, then looked around and asked loudly, "Brothers, I can tell you now."

"Why is the New Year's Eve dinner changed to tonight?"

"Why?" Wei Dayong asked vaguely.

Monk Hua hasn't stopped talking since he sat down.

"Because our regiment has a combat mission tomorrow night!"

"You must have guessed it, so we will fight the Black Isle United."

"The Black Isle United team is a hard bone, and it's not easy to chew on."

"If this messes up badly, it could break a few of our front teeth."

Li Yunlong's face straightened, and he said again: "So tonight's dinner is not only a New Year's Eve dinner, but also a Zhuangxing wine! Everyone eats and drinks well tonight, and then sleep well, so that you can get enough energy and wait for tomorrow night. Black Isle United!"

Nearly a hundred battalion, company and platoon-level cadres present here burst into applause.

Looking at the warm atmosphere, Zhao Gang was thoughtful.

It seems that the wine is not useless.

The key depends on how to drink?

In the commotion, Wang Ye sneaked into the kitchen.

"Xiao Wang?" Old Wang asked in surprise, "Why don't you drink outside?"

Wang Ye said: "Ham, old Wang, it's not like you don't know that I don't drink."

Old Wang said: "You can eat dumplings, rice cakes and meat without drinking alcohol. Tonight is a New Year's Eve dinner. It only happens once a year. Don't dare to miss it."

"Don't talk about that." Wang Ye said, "Old Wang, do you have chili noodles here?"

"Chili noodles? There's really no such thing." Lao Wang said, "But there are about five hundred catties of dried chili."

Wang Ye said: "Old Wang, then I would like to trouble your cooking team to grind these 500 catties of dried chili into chili noodles overnight."

"Xiao Wang, are you planning to use chili powder to smoke and beat the Black Island United team? I understand." Lao Wang nodded and said, "I will lead people to grind them all into chili powder later."
