Chapter 257 Drinking
Gu Wenxuan said to Chen Haotian:
“Since we are going to build an airport, we have to build batteries around the airport.
If Japanese planes come to bomb the airport, we will fight back.
I happen to have a batch of artillery that can be used to build our anti-aircraft artillery positions in the mountainous areas near Taihang Mountain, especially around the airport."
When Chen Haotian heard that Gu Wenxuan also had anti-aircraft guns, he was so greedy that his mouth was watering.
Gu Wenxuan knew that Chen Haotian had ideas about his cannons, so he generously allocated a batch of anti-aircraft guns to Chen Haotian, which were specially designed to shoot down planes in the sky.
In the past, Chen Haotian and his military factory had long been attacked by the Japanese army, but they had no way to fight back.
Now Gu Wenxuan had 50 anti-aircraft guns at once. Chen Haotian was so happy that he held Gu Wenxuan's hand tightly:
"Oh, Mr. Hu, I won't say much to thank you. If you come to our Taihang Mountain Military Region one day, I will get drunk with you!"
Gu Wenxuan laughed out loud:
"That's no problem. You can take the Sichuan Army's light weapons back with you today. You didn't bring any guns with you anyway.
I'll have the Sichuan Army brothers take all the guns for you to take back! As for the anti-aircraft gun, there are still two days left, you can bring people over to get it!"
So Gu Wenxuan ordered the Sichuan Army to hand over all their weapons and let the Red Party use the horse-drawn carriages to transport food to pull all the weapons back.
Zhao Zhenhai was so happy looking at those American weapons that his mouth was so big that an egg could be stuffed into it.
Chen Haotian looked at Zhao Zhenhai and said unhappily, "Look at how stupid you are! It's really ugly!"
Zhao Zhenhai said, "Then, Brigade Commander, don't you like these American weapons?"
Chen Haotian: "I like it, of course I don't like it.
These weapons are light and accurate, but we have to be cautious no matter how happy we are, right? "
Zhao Zhenhai rarely said to the brigade commander: "You scholars are just fake. If you are happy, just be happy. Why hide it?"
Chen Haotian burst into laughter.
Two days later, Gu Wenxuan transferred out another 50 anti-aircraft guns and some anti-aircraft machine guns from the space.
This time he did not ask the Red Party to transport it, but directly asked the Sichuan Army to send 50 trucks to deliver it to them. After all, it was difficult for the Red Party's horse-drawn carriages to pull these cannons over.
Chen Haotian was so happy that Gu Wenxuan personally delivered the anti-aircraft guns to the Taihang Mountains. He immediately pulled Gu Wenxuan to have a drink with him in their simple command center.
Gu Wenxuan also came prepared. He ordered his Sichuan Army brothers to carry up two baskets of Luzhou Laojiao Daqu liquor with him.
"General Chen, this is a specialty of our Sichuan brothers' hometown, you have to try it!"
"Oh, this is Luzhou Daqu Liquor. I heard it is very famous in your southwest region. You will have the pleasure of drinking it today.
But since Brother Hu is drinking, I'm afraid I'll get drunk, so I have to go arrange other tasks and ask my deputy to help me keep an eye on him!"
Gu Wenxuan nodded and said, "General Chen is indeed a careful person. Okay, go and arrange your work. After the work is arranged, we will have a good drink!"
Chen Haotian is a serious soldier. He knows that things change rapidly on the battlefield. Now it seems that their place is very peaceful and the Japanese army has not come to harass them.
But who knows what will happen in the next minute or second, so he went out and assigned his work to his deputy, and then took Zhao Zhenhai to his command center to drink with Gu Wenxuan.
Why did he bring Zhao Zhenhai with him? Because Zhao Zhenhai was familiar with Gu Wenxuan. Although he had heard of Gu Wenxuan's name for a long time, he had never met him many times.
So there is a little bit of strangeness, and with Zhao Zhenghai making jokes, the atmosphere becomes a little better.
When he brought Zhao Zhenhai into his command center, he saw that the table was already filled with various dishes.
Of course, these dishes were taken out by Gu Wenxuan from the space.
But in front of him were various empty food boxes, which were used to conceal his identity.
Zhao Zhenhai was a very outgoing person. Besides, he and Gu Wenxuan were old acquaintances. When he saw so many delicious dishes on the table, he couldn't help but whet his appetite:
"Mr. Hu, you are really the God of Wealth. You came to our Taihang Mountains, shouldn't we entertain you? But you brought such delicious dishes, how can we accept it?"
After saying that, Zhao Zhenhai grabbed the chopsticks next to him, picked up two pieces of food, put them in his mouth and started chewing.
Chen Haotian said angrily: "You are still embarrassed, you have already started eating, what do you have to be embarrassed about!"
Zhao Zhenhai then remembered that this was the brigade commander's headquarters. He thought that doing so was a bit disrespectful to General Chen. He quickly put down his chopsticks and said, "Brigade Commander! I'm sorry, I forgot this is your office!"
Gu Wenxuan took three bowls and poured half a bowl of wine.
Of course, he brought the wine, Luzhou Laojiao Daqu wine. He did not use the Erguotou wine that Chen Haotian’s command headquarters had.
Zhao Zhenhai had never drunk this Laojiao Daqu wine. After taking a sip, he touched his mouth and praised: "You know what, this wine that Brother Gu brought is really strong. I feel it is much better than Erguotou."
Chen Haotian has traveled extensively and has tasted Luzhou Laojiao Daqu Liquor:
"Lao Zhao, you only know that this wine tastes good. You know that its price is several times that of Erguotou. Also, the winemaking method in the southwest is completely different from that in the north. They focus on the old cellars. The older the cellars, the more fragrant the wine will be, and the more expensive it will be!"
Zhao Zhenhai: "The brigade commander is well-informed, unlike Lao Zhao, who has only visited several counties near us. But this wine is delicious and precious. Today, Lao Zhao will drink it to his heart's content!"
The three of them laughed.
After drinking for a while, Chen Haotian asked Gu Wenxuan:
"Mr. Hu, your army has now expanded to the size of an army. Aren't you afraid that your superiors will have a problem with you?"
Although Chen Haotian also knew Gu Wenxuan's real name, he still habitually called him by his pseudonym Hu Kaiwen.
Gu Wenxuan smiled and said: "I don't care whether his superiors are happy or not. If they are unhappy, I will order my army to completely break away from the control of the White Party and become an independent army.
Anyway, we are fighting the Japanese invaders, I don’t need them to give me supplies! If you make me angry, I will make myself king! "
Chen Haotian smiled and said, "Do you want to learn from Chen Sheng and Wu Guang? Start an uprising!"
Gu Wenxuan: "Actually, I am not interested in who wins or loses. My main goal is to drive the Japanese invaders out of China!
If we drive the Japanese invaders out, maybe I will retire and return to farming or doing business!"
Chen Haotian rolled his eyes and said, "Even if Mr. Hu drives the Japanese out of China, if you want to retire alone, there is no problem with that.
But you have so many troops. It's impossible to teach them what to do and have them all disarm and farm with you, right?"
Gu Wenxuan knew what General Chen was planning at first glance.
"General Chen, I know what you mean. If you don't want to go back to your hometown to farm by then, I'll leave everything to you, okay?"
General Chen was very pleased when he heard this. He immediately said with a smile: "That's great. Your army is my army. I will definitely treat them well!"
