Chapter 263 Noodle House
After reading Yu Zhiqian's introduction, Yu Chengwan looked at the distance on the map, paced back and forth, pointed to Chongqing with his finger, and finally shook his head: "In Chongqing, it is unlikely, there is still a long distance, they are alone and helpless, Don’t dare to venture in! But!”

Speaking of this, Yu Chengwan paused, and pointed to Changsha: "The little devils failed to attack Changsha three times. They have never given up. This time they used smoke bombs to confuse us. It seems that they are attacking Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. The target is still here! Changsha!"

"Taking Changde is equivalent to giving the Japanese an active point on the way to attack Changsha. If they advance, they can continue to harass Wuzhou and other areas around Changsha, and if they retreat, they can resist the defense of Yuanjiang!" Yu Chengwan's eyes burst out with amazing light. Looking at his staff officer: "Now you immediately send power to the headquarters. The Japanese invaders are actually attacking Changde under the pretext of attacking Henan, Hunan and Guangxi. If Changde is lost, Changsha will be lost. I hope to support quickly!"

After finishing speaking, You looked at another staff officer: "Order the 169th regiment, 170th regiment, 171st regiment, and 172th regiment to be ready for battle at any time, beware of sneak attacks by little devils!"

"Yes!"

Soon, the entire 57th Division began to get busy. After Yu Zhiqian saw this scene, he breathed a sigh of relief. In the historical battle of Changde, Yu Chengwan didn't react until the Japanese began to attack Changde on a large scale. .

The Japanese soldiers suppressed the border, and several important city gates of Changde were quickly lost one after another, which caused subsequent disadvantages. If they can hold on to the city gates for a while and build a few more fortifications in the city, perhaps Changde can hold more time.

"You guys are worthy of intelligence, you can see the crux of the problem at a glance!" Yu Chengwan took out a cigarette and passed it to Yu Zhiqian. Although there was a worried expression on his face, he relaxed a little.

"It should be, this is our duty!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Zhiqian took out his camera: "General, can I take a photo of you?"

"Take pictures? Yes! Come, come, come here if you have nothing to do, our Captain Yu will take a group photo for everyone!"

Several staff officers who were on standby immediately ran over. Yu Zhiqian took out his camera, and Yu Chengwan looked around: "The light is so dark now? Can you take pictures?"

"It's okay. New camera, don't worry!" After speaking, he turned on the flash, signaled everyone to get ready, and pressed the shutter.

After taking pictures of some people alone, Yu Zhiqian was placed in a separate room next to the headquarters. After Wang Youcai sent Yu Zhigan back to the room, he hurried back to his barracks.

On the first day I came here, I fought a low-intensity battle, met General Yu Chengwan, a group of lovely people, and what the country looked like during the Republic of China.

When Changde was in the Republic of China, it was considered a land of fish and rice. This is an important grain-producing area, but here I saw some people who hadn’t had time to run out, and they were all a little pale and emaciated. There were also soldiers, the 57th Division, who were considered elite soldiers, but many soldiers They are all thin and thin, and there is no elite shadow.

This is a time of suffering, and a great nation is slowly awakening.

At night, at twelve o'clock, around the city wall of Changde, a group of soldiers walked along the hanging baskets lowered on the city wall, and transported the bullets and weapons from the Japanese corpses on the ground to the city wall. Although the battle had not yet started, the 57th Division Ammunition is relatively sufficient, but these soldiers who have experienced countless battlefields know what it means to plan for a rainy day.

Yu Zhiqian couldn't sleep, put on his clothes, took his weapon, and hid his backpack, before going to walk around the streets. Now Changde is basically empty, and at night, except for the patrolling soldiers, no one can be seen. shadow.

After walking about 200 meters from the headquarters, Yu Zhiqian saw a faint light coming out, and immediately walked over curiously, and saw a noodle figure hanging in front of an old-fashioned building, which should be a family. Noodle House.

"welcome!"

Pushing open the door, I saw a traditional tavern with several square tables and benches, and a small stove in the middle. An old man with gray hair was standing in front of the counter, smoking an old-fashioned When he saw someone coming in, he immediately put down the cigarette load and looked at Yu Zhiqian.

"Boss, what can I eat?"

The boss turned around and pointed to the sign hanging behind: "Master Jun, the food shortage in the city recently, there are only Yangchun noodles and egg noodles, nothing else, and some drinks!"

"No need, just a serving of egg noodles!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he was about to pay the bill, but he was embarrassed to find that he didn't seem to have the currency of the Republic of China, and coughed softly: "Well, boss, no more, I didn't bring any money!"

"You don't need money, the little devils will call, what money do you want!"

After finishing speaking, he walked slowly towards the back kitchen. Yu Zhiqian looked at this noodle restaurant. It must have been old, and he might have sent away a few old men.

More than ten minutes later, the boss came over with the noodles and put them beside Yu Zhiqian. Yu Zhiqian looked at them: "Does the boss have any garlic?"

"No, but do you want chili?"

"Come on!"

"Okay, wait!"

Noodles in this era are very generous. A big porcelain bowl is full. Yu Zhiqian picked up a big mouthful with chopsticks and felt comfortable all over.

"Boss, everyone in the city has moved, why don't you leave?"

The boss knocked on the cigarette stick lightly: "Sir, where are you going? I originally lived in BJ, but then the little devil came and ran to Changsha. There was a fight in Changsha two years ago, and I came here again. This store used to be able to walk, but now it’s old, I can’t walk anymore, and I don’t want to leave, if the little devil dares to come, I will try my best to change this old bone!” After finishing speaking, he moved the counter An old-fashioned rifle was taken out from behind.

"Boss, what about your family?"

When Yu Zhiqian heard the boss telling a story, he immediately slowed down the speed of eating noodles and listened carefully.

"My wife was bombed to death by the Japanese on the way to escape. Both sons were sent to serve in the army. The eldest son died in Changsha a few years ago. He was already a deputy platoon leader when he died. He wrote to me saying that Killed two little devils, avenged his mother, and the younger son was sent to serve as a soldier last year, no, it’s been almost a year since he left, and there has been no news!"

After Yu Zhiqian heard it, he stood up in awe and saluted the boss. The boss grinned and said, "Sir, don't be like this. I can't bear it, old man. I'm useless when I'm old. I just hope Get rid of the little devils who have received a thousand knives as soon as possible, and let us live a good life as soon as possible!"

"Don't worry, I will!"

The boss nodded, sat on the rocking chair, closed his eyes, and began to hum a BJ ditty, which was very charming, maybe he was homesick.
