What a beautiful white lotus

Standing outside the house, the black dog could vaguely hear the conversation between Gu Xiuge and Zonghao.He originally thought that Gu Xiuge would show Zong Hao the righteousness of the nation, just like he did when he regained himself and Ye Rongqiu, but Gu Xiuge didn't.

Zonghao said: "Master Jun, who among us Chinese people is willing to sacrifice their lives for the Japanese? They are all forced to do so! The Baochang ran away with money early on. We poor people, how many ancestors Ten generations are here, and it is not easy to leave their wives and children. I really can’t escape. There is no way, the Japanese said that as long as we are obedient citizens, they will not kill us. I am alone. I want to take up arms to defend my family and country, but my family still has a wife and children, so I really have to worry about them!"

In fact, the reason why these landlords and rich landowners don’t run away as early as ordinary people is because they have many family members and treasures such as antique mahogany and porcelain that are difficult to take away. The second is that their main property is large fields. The world is chaotic and prices are unstable. Even if the landlord is willing to sell the land cheaply, no one is willing to buy it.They were reluctant to part with these family businesses, so they had to wait until the Japanese entered the city and were recruited into the puppet army obediently.

Gu Xiuge didn't expose it, and asked: "I know, I understand, as a person, you have to think of yourself first. If my old mother was still alive, I would definitely not join the army to fight devils. Dare I ask, what is Zongye's plan in the future?" what to do?"

Zong Hao was stunned for a moment, sighed and said: "The situation cannot be controlled by others, so we have to take one step at a time."

Gu Xiuge asked him: "Zongye, I'm telling you the truth. I came here to beat the devil back."

Zong Hao laughed twice, and complimented a few words, "Master Jun is great, Master Jun is hardworking", the black dog couldn't see his expression outside the door, and he could hear his disdain just by listening to his tone.With the war like this, the national government has already lost the support of the people.

Gu Xiuge said: "Our division is the 98th division. I wonder if Zongye has heard of our team's number?"

"Oh?" Zong Hao said: "I haven't heard of it. I don't know how your teacher's record is?"

Gu Xiuge regained his energy, and the black dog stood outside, only to hear their group members impassionedly publicizing their achievements, saying how they used [-] troops to defeat [-] Japanese soldiers and Several tanks were built into Wangjiang, and they talked about how they guarded the bunkers and blocked the enemy's strength ten times that of the enemy... In addition to exaggerating his own achievements, Gu Xiuge also quoted from others or made a lot of mistakes, and recorded the victories fought by his allies. On my own head, I changed how the Japanese army beat me to the ground into how I beat the Japanese army to the ground...

Heigou and Guo Wu who were standing outside the house almost laughed out loud when they heard Gu Xiuge's spare no effort to fool him, but because there were puppet soldiers watching, they put on a straight face and pretended to be nonchalant.

Zong Hao didn't speak for a while, and it took a long time before he laughed dryly again: "Master Jun is really powerful." His tone was dubious, and the disdain just now was gone.

Zong Hao asked Gu Xiu Ge: "Then what does the military master come to me to teach you?"

Gu Xiuge laughed and said: "I want to ask the Zongye to borrow food and a gun."

Zong Hao pretended to be embarrassing and said: "Hey, what are you saying, what is borrowing! Military Lord, you are serving the country and protecting the common people. I will definitely risk my life to support you! What I have, I will give it to you if I lose everything But the gun, if we had it in our hands, we would have followed it to fight the devils. It’s not that I’m stingy and refused to give it to the military master, there really isn’t one!”

Gu Xiuge asked with a smile: "Does Zongye know how the current domestic situation is?"

Zong Hao said: "Oh? I also ask the military master to enlighten me."

Gu Xiuge lowered his voice and said: "The battle ahead is tight. The Northeast, Shanghai, and Nanjing have fallen one by one. Our army's combat power is insufficient. This is a certainty. The reason why Shanghai, Nanjing, and other places fell so quickly is that Jiang Gong The strategy of abandoning the car to save the commander. The government gave up Nanjing and moved the capital to Chongqing, but most of the government agencies and the military command are in Wuhan, Zongye should know, right?"

Zong Hao didn't make a sound.

Gu Xiuge said: "Chongqing is named as the capital, but the real heart of the national army is in Wuhan. The order from above is to defend Wuhan no matter what, and the devils must not be allowed to enter the city of Wuhan. And Ruichang is an important town in Wuhan. No matter what, keep it up."

Zong Hao was silent for a long time, and said: "But..."

Gu Xiuge interrupted: "Now the Japanese army has the upper hand in the battle, but their troops are limited, the battle line is too long, and their ambitions are too high. They want to swallow Wuhan in one go. How is it possible? The Japanese army only knows how to attack blindly. The rear was neglected to defend, and Shangfeng laid out a battle plan, let us take this opportunity to recapture the towns around Wuhan, and let the Japanese invaders’ backyard catch fire. Ruichang is an important military town, and Ruichang is the first place to be recaptured.”

Zong Hao smiled and said: "Master Jun must be highly valued by the government for taking on this important task. If so, why is there a shortage of food and ammunition?"

Gu Xiuge said: "To tell you the truth, our lord, we went first with light cavalry, and we didn't bring much luggage. We had fought the Japanese army once before, and consumed too many bullets. It's not that I'm trying to shirk, the battle is really difficult. We expected much more time, so after holding on for a while, the food and grass are already in short supply. Shangfeng asked us to hold on for another half month, and the reinforcements will arrive soon. But for this half month, our brothers in the army still have to live , That's why I had the cheek to ask Zongye to borrow it. There is no ammunition, food and grass, and it is not impossible for us to hide in the mountains and forests, not to fight the devils, or even go directly to the military headquarters. But we soldiers, we hide, What should the common people do? We want to defend our home and country. As long as the lord is willing to lend us weapons and food, once the reinforcements arrive, I will report to the peak, half a month, and return two cents, what does the lord think?"

Zong Hao seemed to be thinking about it, and it took a long time before he said: "Master Jun, it's really not that I don't want to borrow, it's really that there is nothing to borrow."

Gu Xiuge said: "We people don't speak dark words, and I understand Zongye's worries. Our army has lost the trust of the common people. It's not the common people's fault, it's our fault. With my blue mouth and white teeth Zong Ye is willing to believe me, it is Zong Ye who is a good person; Zong Ye refuses to believe, it is also common sense. I will say the best plan first, we can beat the devils away, of course it is the best, Zong Ye is now with me Cooperate, when the army arrives, I promise to be the master. Not only will I ignore the past, but I will also give you a great credit. Of course, whether the battle can be won or not is not something I can count on today. I will say it again This is the worst plan - if we really can't beat the Japanese invaders, the Zongye will lend us food and guns, it will be nothing more than a loss of property. But if the battle is really lost - I mean we are all in China, we will fight But the Japanese lost their country, and from now on the Republic of China will be ruled by Japanese devils, how will you deal with yourself then, Zongye?"

Zong Hao remained silent.

Gu Xiuge said: "I heard that the Japanese army named Zongye as the chief security officer of this place, in charge of all the obedient people. But now it is wartime, and the Japanese army is not enough, so they use Chinese to guard the land they have laid down. After the battle is over , Zongye, you better be Wu Sangui—what will happen to Wu Sangui? In the end, the Qing soldiers will kill us. The Japanese call us Chinese pigs, and we are inferior people and pigs in their eyes Animals that are not as good as dogs. Can they treat us sincerely? If they can, there is no need to fight this battle. What does another emperor have to do with us ordinary people? But the Japanese will not treat us as ordinary people. Once China really loses Well, we are not as good as the slaves of the landlord’s house. We will let them tear their bones and drain their blood. The Japanese devils killed 10,000+ people in Nanjing. Not to mention, who made them not obedient citizens? But in the occupied areas , the Japanese devils raped the surrendered women and killed the surrendered men, has the Zongye never heard of such things?"

Zong Hao sighed after a while: "Master Jun said, why don't I know? But after all, I still have a wife and children in my family, so a day is considered a day."

Until the end, Gu Xiuge did not borrow the gun from Zong Hao.After all, the guns were too expensive, and Zonghao was reluctant to give them, but he gave Gu Xiuge [-] rounds of ammunition and a few loads of food.

On the way back carrying the food, the black dog asked Gu Xiuge: "Tuan Zuo, didn't you say you want to cooperate with them and ask them to help fight devils together? Why is it borrowing something?"

Gu Xiuge played with the earthen pistol, and smiled confidently: "There is no turning back when you shoot the bow. If they lend me bullets today, they will have to borrow me tomorrow, and they will have to lend me their lives to fight devils the day after tomorrow. I will give them If you drag them into the water, they can't help them."
