Chapter 282 Emergency Departure

In the middle of the night, Gao Hongming, who was soundly sleeping with his wife in his arms, was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.

"Who is it, you don't sleep in the middle of the night!" Qin Xiulian asked angrily after waking up from her sleep. Pregnant women usually have bad tempers, and it's considered very self-restraint not to curse.

Ziying's voice sounded outside the door: "Ma'am... Dabao came over in a hurry just now, saying that it was an urgent call just sent, indicating that it will be sent to the young master immediately."

"Is there an urgent call?"

Gao Hongming, who had just woken up, was sensitive to his profession. As soon as he heard the word "urgent telegram", he immediately woke up, turned on the light and got out of bed, opened the door, took the telegram from Ziying's hand, and read it by the light.

Qin Xiulian also put on her clothes, and got out of bed clumsily with her big belly. Seeing that Gao Hongming was concentrating on reading the telegram, she frowned and said, "Hong Ming, who sent this telegram? Dabao really is." , can’t I give it to you tomorrow?”

"This is really not good." Gao Hongming, who had read the telegram at a glance while speaking, let out a long breath, and put the telegram in his pocket casually, "This is a telegram from Chief He of the First War Zone, saying that he agreed to our request and let We will immediately send troops to break the siege of Zhongtiao Mountain."

"Are you going to Zhongtiao Mountain?" Qin Xiulian's voice rose several degrees in an instant.

Although she is not interested in the military, it does not mean that she knows nothing about Zhongtiao Mountain. These days, she also occasionally heard Gao Hongming talk about Zhongtiao Mountain, and she also knows a little about the situation there , Now when I heard that a war zone asked my husband to send troops to Zhongtiaoshan, I immediately became anxious.

"Hong Ming... the critical situation in Zhongtiao Mountain is none of your business. You are just the head of a small militia regiment, and you are not under the jurisdiction of the First War Zone. Why should he want you to work for them? What should I do with my unborn child?" Qin Xiulian was really anxious, and as the due date approached, her mood became more and more unstable, and the circles of her eyes immediately turned red as she spoke.

Gao Hongming quickly put his arms around her and comforted her: "Daughter-in-law, listen to me telling you slowly. Ziying, go and heat up a bowl of calming tea for Madam first."

Ziying hurried out to get busy without mentioning it, Gao Hongming helped Qin Xiulian sit on the bed, and softly narrated the events of the past few days, and finally said: "Xiulian, you also know that as the size of our militia is getting bigger and bigger, the expenses There are also more and more.

As the head of the militia, how can I not need money for the training, food, military pay, weapons and ammunition of the troops?Officer He sent a telegram yesterday, wanting me to send troops to Zhongtiao Mountain. I offered him a price of 20 yuan per day, and no credit for the settlement every day. I thought it would scare them away, but I never thought that Officer He actually agreed. . "

"20 yuan per day?" Rao Qin Xiulian has been in charge of the Gao family's money for more than a year, and has partnered with Yan Xishan to start a business of penicillin and other western medicines. Dayang's numbers couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Yes...that's 20 oceans." Gao Hongming replied affirmatively, "Now Zhongtiao Mountain is in danger. Nearly half of the troops in the First War Zone are in Zhongtiao Mountain. The other troops are scattered all over the country. There is no way to deploy troops to rescue Zhongtiao Mountain." Tiaoshan.

Didn't he hear that we formed a flying brigade, so he focused his attention on us, which is why he was willing to fire such a high price. "

"That's it."

Qin Xiulian fell into contemplation for a moment. Although the scale of the Liantai militia is getting bigger and bigger, the daily expenses are definitely astronomical.

Among other things, nearly [-] people have to eat a small mountain every day just to eat, not to mention that Gao Hongming's meals are full of meat, and such meals are not so good even for ordinary small landlords in this era.There are also a series of expenses such as military pay, ammunition needed for training, and purchasing weapons.

So don’t look at the fact that Gao’s family makes a lot of money selling western medicine with Yan Laoxi every month, but after deducting the expenses, there is basically nothing left. Now I heard that the war zone is willing to spend 20 yuan a day to hire the Liantai militia Going to war, even if she is not willing to part with her husband, she dare not say that she is indifferent.

Seeing that Qin Xiulian was silent, Gao Hongming continued on the sidelines: "Xiulian, this is 20 yuan per day. If we call for ten days, it will be 200 million yuan. With this money, our militia group will spend a year. , and can save a lot of surplus, isn’t that good?”

Qin Xiulian sighed faintly: "But on the battlefield, bullets don't have eyes. If you have something good or bad, what will you let me, sister Wenqian, and Ziying do?"

Gao Hongming was silent for a while, "Xiulian, do you still remember why I formed the Liantai militia in the first place?"

Qin Xiulian nodded: "Of course I know. When you came back from the provincial capital and learned that your father-in-law was killed by the Japanese, you took Dabao out the next day and begged grandpa to sue grandma for buying more than 20 broken guns without telling me. Withdrawing more than 3000 yuan from the family, a team of more than 300 people was formed to form this militia.

Although you were still angry with your father-in-law at that time, you married me into the house without discussing with you, and you didn't enter my room for two consecutive months because of this. "

Gao Hongming blushed when he heard that Qin Xiulian had brought up the old account again. Although this was a good thing done by his predecessor, it would be impossible for him not to take the blame.

"Yeah, my original intention of forming the militia was to fight devils. Now that the militia has finally grown to this point, I won't talk about the hard work involved. Now that I have this opportunity to fight devils and make money, why don't I do it? ?
As for the danger, you don't have to worry about it. I won't run away if I can't beat it. Don't forget, we have planes. "

Gao Hongming talked and talked, and finally calmed Qin Xiulian down. After a while, Ziying brought the soothing soup, and Qin Xiulian finally fell asleep again after drinking it.

After Qin Xiulian finished drinking, Gao Hongming immediately finished dressing, called Dabao and drove to the regiment headquarters.

When Gao Hongming came to the regiment headquarters, all the officers who had already been notified had gathered in the office and waited.

When Gao Hongming in military uniform walked into the office, everyone saluted him with the sound of clattering.

Gao Hongming returned the salute casually, scanned the crowd with sharp eyes, and asked loudly, "Brothers, are you all ready?"

Wu Chengfeng, who was standing on the lower left, said loudly: "Don't worry, the group members, the brothers in the group are ready and ready to go at any time."

"Okay... Now everyone returns to their respective troops, and proceed immediately according to the plan."

"Yes!"

Soon... In the barracks one after another, bugles for urgent assembly began to sound.

On the outskirts of Liantai, the originally pitch-black airport was suddenly brightly lit, and the sleeping ground crew and pilots were all lucky. Ammunition trucks drove out of the arsenal, roaring towards the bomber parked on the runway...
