The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 1906: Spirit in the details

In order to prevent Xu Lang and Wang Chuan from finding out, Cheng Peng, Qian Chuaner and others would naturally not mention to the soldiers that they had traveled hundreds of miles back and forth just to fool these two people.

When the soldiers heard that the battalion commander's wife had been kidnapped, they became extremely anxious, so they did not slack off during the march.

The spirit is reflected in the details; the style of an army can be reflected in the details, this is true for the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and the Eighth Route Army as well.

Seeing that the soldiers under Shang Zhen were running and roaring like calves, Wang Chuan really looked up to him.

But Wang Chuan was also curious. After running for a while, he asked Qian Chuan'er, "Brother, there is something I don't understand. I would like to ask you."

"Comrade of the Eighth Route Army, you don't have to be so polite. You can just call me Qian Chuan'er, which means a string of money." Qian Chuan'er's main feature is that he is casual. As long as he doesn't meet the enemy, he will be like this with anyone.

"Then I'll ask." Wang Dan said as he followed the soldiers.

"Ask, ask." Qian Chuaner responded.

"Since we are going to rescue Comrade Leng Xiaozhi, your battalion commander's wife, why do we have to walk?

I saw quite a few carriages in your camp." Wang Chuan asked.

Qian Chuan'er didn't expect that Wang Chuan would ask this question, but he still had a smile on his face.

Qian Chuan'er has been in charge of the intelligence of Shang Zhen's camp, so he can be considered a half-intelligence officer. When faced with emergencies, he keeps his face unchanged and his heart doesn't beat. That's something he's trained to do. Even though he's also thinking, "Oh my God!" in his heart, there is still some loopholes!

  Just think about it, they were just using the excuse of coming to find Leng Xiaozhi to pull the company out for training. What they were training was the ability to march, just like long-distance running. How could they train long-distance running while riding in a horse-drawn carriage?

"The horse-drawn carriages in our camp are still useful. They are used to transport supplies to the division headquarters." Qian Chuan'er made up an excuse.

Wang Chuan said "Oh" and didn't ask any more questions.

  Although he did not believe Qian Chuan'er's reason, "Is your battalion commander's wife more important, or is the division's supplies more important?"

Besides, there's no need for you to come with a team of ten or eight horses, right? What if two or three people come first?

Wang Chuan didn't know what to ask, so he could only keep this question in his mind for the time being.

The team continued to move forward. When the people along the way saw such a team, they all hid far away. Only the children who were ignorant of the world watched with curiosity. Being afraid of soldiers like a tiger was the real reaction of the common people at that time.

At noon, Cheng Peng's company arrived at the town they were going to.

Qian Chuan'er said, "I'm going to find the insider," and then ran away with one of his soldiers, leaving nearly a hundred soldiers there gasping for breath.

Some soldiers took this opportunity to drink some water, while others drank all their water on the way. Just when they were about to say "I'll go get some water", someone next to them said, "Why look for water? When Qian Chuan comes back, we have to go rescue people!" All the soldiers could only wait.

About five or six minutes later, Qian Chuaner and his soldier came back dejected.

"What's going on?" Xu Lang and Wang Chuan saw the company commander Cheng Peng running forward a few steps and asked anxiously.

"The information is wrong." Qian Chuan'er lowered his head and answered with a slightly red face like a mosquito.

But even though his answer was as soft as a mosquito, the soldiers could still hear it clearly, and so everyone in the team sighed in unison.

  The sigh of one person may not be loud, but when the sighs of a hundred people gathered together, the sound was quite loud and it scared the people passing by!

What? The intelligence was wrong? Xu Lang and Wang Chuan were also dumbfounded.

A large number of people, over a hundred, traveled dozens of miles to get here. After making a fuss for quite some time, they found out that the information was wrong. It was just that the old couple had never had any children in their lifetime - wasn't it all in vain?

"How could you get it wrong?" Xu Lang couldn't help but blurt out.

Although Xu Lang came here specifically to find fault with Shang Zhen, he definitely didn't want anything to happen to Leng Xiaozhi.

After he said that, Qian Chuan'er lowered his head even more, almost like there was a crack in the ground.

When Xu Lang wanted to ask about Qian Chuan again, Wang Chuan next to him gently nudged him with his elbow, so Xu Lang stopped talking.

"What the hell do we need an intelligence officer like you for? What else can you do?" Cheng Peng said to Qian Chuaner with dissatisfaction.

Just when Qian Chuan'er was feeling more and more embarrassed, Cheng Peng shouted, "Drink some water, and come back in ten minutes!" Cheng Peng's order was as heavy as a mountain, and the soldiers naturally moved.

If the water you bring is gone, you naturally have to go to the homes of ordinary people to find water.

Xu Lang moved closer to Qian Chuan'er. He wanted to hear Qian Chuan'er explain why the information was inaccurate.

However, Wang Chuan followed a few ordinary soldiers and ran to a civilian house nearby.

"Man, let's go to your house and drink some water." Wang Chuan heard a soldier say to an old man standing in the yard.

Wang Chuan also knew how people in Northeast China addressed their elders. All men were called "yemen", which was a normal way of addressing them.

How dare the old man mess with the soldiers? If they tell him to drink water, then just drink it as long as he doesn't harm himself.

But there happened to be no water in his broken water tank, so several soldiers went to the well in the yard and used the water wheel to pump up water to drink.

To put it simply, the so-called water-wheel is a turntable with a rope on it, and a bucket is connected to the rope.

When the first bucket of water was pumped up, the soldiers rushed to scoop water with their own kettles or other water-holding tools to drink.

The soldier who drank the water exclaimed: "This well water is really good, it's cool!"

As he shouted, more soldiers rushed in from outside the yard, and Xu Lang followed them in.

"How is it?" Wang Chuan asked Xu Lang.

"What the hell can you do?" Xu Lang actually repeated what Cheng Peng had just said to scold Qian Chuan'er.

It was obvious that Xu Lang had listened to what Qian Chuan'er said. Judging from his expression, the information must be wrong. Their trip was in vain, so Wang Chuan did not ask any more questions.

But what the two of them didn't know was that right outside the yard, Cheng Peng also lowered his head like Qian Chuan did.

  If you don’t know, you would think that two people are bowing to each other face to face!

But at this moment, both of them were trying to hold back their smiles.

The two were originally acting for the two men from the Eighth Route Army. How could they have done this before? So when Xu Lang entered the courtyard, Cheng Peng couldn't hold it back!

After a while, the two men stopped laughing. At this time, Cheng Peng's messenger handed them the kettle, and the two men began to drink water.

After drinking the water, the smiles on their faces disappeared.

It was difficult for both of them. Qian Chuan'er still had that embarrassed look on his face with a slightly red face, and Cheng Peng became angry again.

After a while, Cheng Peng shouted again: "Drink quickly, we're leaving soon!"

  As soon as he finished shouting, a dull "plop" sound was heard from the yard where most of the soldiers went in to drink water. It turned out that the bucket for fetching water had fallen into the well!

Everyone would be thirsty after running for dozens of miles, but dozens of soldiers poured into the same yard.

How could the soldiers drink just one bucket of water? When the bucket of water was gone, the bucket was thrown back into the well to draw more water.

But just when the second and third buckets of water were finished and they started to shake up the fourth bucket of water, the bucket fell into the well, which was the sound that Cheng Peng and Qian Chuaner heard in the yard.

On the well, several soldiers simultaneously leaned their heads over the mouth of the well and looked down. It turned out that the rope for drawing water had broken, and a section of the rope was attached to the bucket, floating on the water.

At this time, the soldiers who had finished drinking water heard Cheng Peng say that they were about to set off, and they all came out of the yard to gather.

The remaining soldiers looked at each other, and one of them said, "Go back and tell the company commander that no matter whether they drink the water or not, they have to connect the rope anyway!"

Hmm? Just this sentence of the soldier really made Wang Chuan look at him with a higher opinion, thinking that the soldiers under Shang Zhen were pretty good!

As I said, the spirit is reflected in the details. This army not only does not harm the common people, but also considers the common people at any time and anywhere. This is truly the first army he has seen besides their Eighth Route Army!
