I carry a space ring: Travel back to 1939

Chapter 140 Sichuan Anti-Japanese Independent Regiment

Gu Wenxuan took a deep puff of the dry tobacco, but they had never smoked this kind of dry tobacco before. He took too much force and swallowed the tobacco. His throat felt burning and he started coughing.

The old soldier laughed heartily: "Brother, you haven't learned how to smoke yet, you still need to practice!"

Gu Wenxuan smiled awkwardly and said, "I have never eaten this kind of dry tobacco. I usually smoke paper cigarettes!"

The old soldier smiled and said, "You young people are just imitating the foreigners. What's the point of smoking cigarettes? They are so light in taste!"

Gu Wenxuan asked the old soldier: "Which unit are you from? Why are you here? Look at your clothes. It's so cold and you're wearing so little!"

The old soldier sighed:

"We are Commander Li's troops. We were originally going to Shanxi, but we failed to reach an agreement with Yan Laoxi in Shanxi.

He also didn't equip us, and we were defeated in a battle with the Japanese army.

We followed this road and somehow ended up in Henan.

We were originally organized into a regiment, but now we have less than two battalions.

Our regimental commander was also killed, and now our two battalions are without a leader.

But we supported each other, and there were no conflicts even though we were independent. "

Gu Wenxuan asked: "Who is the battalion commander of your battalion?"

The old soldier smiled with his black teeth, "Of course, the commander of this battalion is me!"

Gu Wen first looked up and down the short old soldier, and he really couldn't tell that he was a battalion commander.

The old soldier said with a smile: "What do you think, brother? I can't believe I'm still the battalion commander!"

Wenxuan smiled in his heart and said: You really don’t look like a battalion commander. If you said you were a cook, I would believe it.

Because this old soldier was wearing greasy clothes and had no official authority at all, it was understandable because they probably had no time to wash their clothes in the few months since they left Sichuan and moved to Shanxi and Henan, as they were chased all over the mountains by the Japanese.

"You are the battalion commander, so what's your name? I'm not asking for information about you. My name is Gu Wenxuan!"

"My name is Luo Depei, I'm the battalion commander of the third battalion of the new first regiment! The other battalion commander is Yao Xinghua! He's the battalion commander of the second battalion!"

"Then why are you running to this turret so late at night?"

Rodpey smiled and said:

"There are about 700 to 800 people in our two camps. We need some food every day to eat, drink, defecate and urinate.

We haven't had a complete meal for two days. We just ate some wild vegetables and made soup. Now it's cold and we can't pick wild vegetables!

Originally, when we saw the artillery tower, we knew that they were storing food there, so we wanted to attack it. However, their artillery fire was so fierce and they had so many people, so we didn't dare to attack actively.

When we were wandering around here, we heard gunshots from the artillery tower. I guess other troops were attacking the artillery tower.

We just wanted to see if there was any chance to share some leftovers.”

"Later, we watched for a long time and found that many imperial soldiers had escaped from the artillery tower. We caught a deserter and asked him about it. He said that someone, who was not sure whether it was a god or a ghost, had come from the artillery tower from nowhere and had defeated them. If they didn't run away, they would probably be killed inexplicably.

We were also surprised to hear this. Why would there be any ghosts coming to kill the Japanese at this time? Could it be that the Japanese had done too many immoral things and had provoked the wrath of heaven?

So we quietly approached the artillery tower, and then we saw you pulling out food. So we didn't care whether you were monsters or ghosts, we just took some food back for a big meal first. But we didn't expect these kids to start a fight with us.

Gu Wenxuan took a look and found that this army indeed had three or four hundred people.

"Your army doesn't have 700 or 800 people. You have 300 or 400 at most, right?"

"Dear brother, don't you know that there is another battalion behind us? We are not all going to run into this artillery tower.

If we were surrounded and we were all trapped without anyone to rescue us, that would be terrible.

So the people from the second battalion stayed behind to rescue, so that at least they could conserve some strength!"

"Yeah, Captain Luo, I didn't realize you're so shrewd!"

Luo Depei said with a smile: "It's just so-so. I just listened to some storytellers telling three novels and learned a few tricks!"

They both laughed happily.

"Ah, brother, since we are all from the same hometown, please give us some food. Our people are really starving!"

"It's not a big deal. Just take all the food! And you're all wearing so thin. I saw there are a lot of military coats in the warehouse in this artillery tower. Go and get them all. Everyone can change into a new set. There are also a lot of leather shoes with fur inside, which are very warm!"

When Rodpey heard this, he immediately burst into laughter.

He waved his hand and shouted, "Brothers, take the food back. Some people follow me in. There are still many military coats in this turret. Let's take all the military coats and take off our old clothes!"

The Sichuan soldiers behind him, who were wearing thin clothes, immediately ran into the warehouse of the artillery tower after hearing the words of the battalion commander.

Everyone changed their thin clothes and put on military coats.

The remaining clothes were loaded onto a wagon and prepared to be taken back to their camp.

Because there was another battalion behind them, wearing the same short-sleeved shirts and shorts as them.

Seeing that he had food and clothes, Rodpey finally felt relieved.

At least he would get through this cold weather safely.

At this time his curiosity was aroused again.

"Hey, brother, how did you defeat this cannonball by yourself? Are you really a god?"

Gu Wenxuan said to him proudly: "Brother, although I am not a god, I can perform magic!"

After saying this, he wiped his face with his hands and immediately turned into an old man with wrinkles all over his face.

Seeing Rodpey's surprised expression, he wiped his face with his hand again, and immediately his face turned into that of a fair-skinned and beautiful young girl.

Gu Wenxuan used his Xiuxian?, plus the ability to move his face, to change several faces in succession for Rodpe to see.

Luo Depei laughed and pointed at Gu Wenxuan, saying, "I see, your son of a bitch can do Sichuan opera face-changing, no wonder you scared the shit out of those Japanese!"

Gu Wenxuan did not deny it either.

Luo Depei asked Gu Wenxuan with a drooling face: "Brother, can you teach me your face-changing technique?"

Gu Wenxuan thought to himself, how could I have changed my attitude? However, he didn't know how to say it clearly, so he had to ask Luo Depei.

"My face-changing technique requires many innate conditions. I wonder if you can meet them?"

Luo Depei asked hurriedly: "What innate conditions?"

"I told you that my face-changing technique requires a virgin body. Are you still a virgin?"

Rodpei was stunned for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "My grandson is already running around the streets, and I'm still a virgin. How can you come up with such an idea? Forget it, I won't learn it anymore, okay!"

Gu Wenxuan breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Luo Depei would pester him to learn the face-changing technique.

At this time, the second battalion commander Yao Xinghua also brought his men to the warehouse of the artillery tower.

The equipment of their Sichuan Army is really damn poor, they are all equipped with Hanyang-made rifles.

But today they were lucky enough to get rich. They all put on Japanese military coats. Those who were shivering from the cold were now all wearing warm clothes, and holding the Japanese army's brand new Type 38 rifles in their hands.

There are a total of more than a dozen light machine guns, although these machine guns are just Japanese Type 99 rifles, which are not well-known among the world's machine guns.

But for the Sichuan Army, it is a huge treasure.

And there are three mortars.

The two battalion commanders' faces were flushed with excitement.

Luo Depei still doesn't move forward, Yao Xinhua is bragging.

"You know what? These artillery towers were captured by my brother Gu Wenxuan! Come here, Captain Yao, let me introduce my brothers to you!"

Yao Xinghua glanced at him and said: You just met this fellow Sichuanese half an hour earlier than me, so you are my brother.

I really regret not coming here first, letting you take the first place.

However, Yao Xinghua still shook hands with Gu Wenxuan with a smile.

"My fellow countryman, thank you so much this time, otherwise we hundreds of people would have been left with nothing!"
