Chapter 519: Braised Chicken from Texas!
Seeing Wei Heshang and his men rushing over, the Japanese soldiers and puppet army guards immediately squatted or lay on the ground and fired at them fiercely.
Fortunately, the second battalion commander and his men rushed forward quickly, using grenades and bullets to bring Wei Heshang and others to within a distance of 20 meters.
At this time, the train also whizzed past.
"bomb!"
Forty grenades were thrown everywhere, and half of them hit the front of the Japanese army's train, making crackling sounds.
The Japanese driver in the front of the car covered his head with his hands, and the soldiers who had thrown the grenades also lay on the ground, waiting for the explosion.
But after a few seconds, the imagined explosion did not come. Instead, in the dark night, the locomotive turned into "fireworks"!
Monk Wei was laughing so hard, this thing was a treasure he specially asked Minister Zhang Wanhe of the Logistics Department to airdrop to him.
Due to limited production, these treasures are only supplied to the Mandrill Special Forces, Liangshan Special Forces and two airborne regiments.
Moreover, in order to achieve better results, it is kept highly confidential!
"Captain Wei, are you going to set off fireworks for the Japanese after all this fuss? Oh, I thought it was a heavy grenade, but it let the Japanese train pass. How are we going to explain this to the Chief of Staff and Commander Peng?"
The third battalion commander, who was lying on the side, looked at the Japanese army column going farther and farther away, and actually felt a trace of nostalgia and regret.
"Don't worry, Third Battalion Commander! In one minute, the Japanese train will automatically stop! If you don't believe me, what's our bet?"
The third battalion commander sneered, wondering if they were going to rely on the beautiful fireworks to dazzle the Japanese, make them intoxicated and forget everything else, and then stop the car.
"Okay, Captain Wei, let's bet on ten bottles of Lao Baigan and ten roast chickens! But when you give me Lao Baigan and roast chicken, don't say that we don't have the concept of superiors and subordinates!"
Monk Wei raised his hand and looked at his watch in the faint moonlight.
"I like the confident attitude. Thirty seconds have just passed. Wait a minute. 5-4-3-2-1!"
Monk Wei's countdown was like magic. The Japanese train really stopped slowly, and finally made a creaking sound and completely collapsed on the rails!
Monk Wei raised his chin proudly towards the third battalion commander.
"Second Battalion Commander, send a small part of your forces to stop the Japs, and the rest of the soldiers will work with the Third Battalion to clear out the Japs' train!"
The second battalion commander ordered the first company to guard the north of Hanzhuang, the second company to guard the south of Hanzhuang, and the rest of the troops to prepare to transport supplies together with the third battalion.
After confirming that it was safe, Monk Wei opened the sealed wagon and climbed up to take a look. He found that it was full of flour and rice.
"Damn the Japs, they are definitely sending our Northeast rice and North China flour to the Japs in the South, so that they can eat and drink their fill and then attack us!
Empty it immediately, don’t leave a single grain of rice behind!”
These ordinary people, who had just put down their hoes, felt a natural liking and sense of security when they saw the grain. They trotted and carried bags of grain to Gaozhuang, and then joined the people waiting there with wheelbarrows.
Wei Heshang and the third battalion commander walked to the front of the locomotive and turned on their flashlights.
"Oh my god, this locomotive is as tattered as my underwear!"
The third battalion commander looked at the half-solidified molten iron and the front of the train full of holes, and couldn't help but sigh. He stretched out his hand and prepared to touch it.
"Captain, if you don't want your hands to get burned, don't touch it!"
The third battalion commander withdrew his hand angrily and walked around the locomotive.
"Hey, where's the Japanese driver here?"
Monk Wei shone the flashlight at the two black, twisted objects that had shrunk to about 1.5 meters in height.
"Hey, these two are it!"
After Monk Wei finished speaking, he ignored the Third Battalion Commander who was feeling nauseous and joined the group carrying rice and flour.
Twenty minutes later, all the sealed tank cars in the Japanese army's train were emptied.
News came almost simultaneously from the north and south that the Japanese began to gather towards Hanzhuang.
"Blow up the Japanese army train and retreat!"
After Monk Wei finished speaking, the second battalion commander gathered his troops, left a large number of booby traps on the military train, and retreated into Hanzhuang.
By dawn the next day, all the food had been distributed to various units of the independent division.
One carriage carried twenty tons of food, and twenty carriages in total, totaling more than four hundred tons, were enough for the soldiers of the Weishanhu Independent Division to eat until the New Year.
Monk Wei returned to the regiment's base, which was still the small, dilapidated temple. Just as he was about to lie down, there was a hurried knock on the door.
Monk Wei jumped up, grabbed his pistol and rushed out.
"What's wrong? Is there any enemy?"
Monk Wei instinctively thought that it was the Japanese who were coming to attack, which was why he knocked on the door so anxiously.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be the third battalion commander with three soldiers, each of them had his hands full.
"Hey, Captain Wei, are you sleeping? I'll admit defeat. These are Lao Baigan and Braised Chicken!"
Upon hearing this, Monk Wei put his pistol on his waist and opened the door.
"If you say so, then I'm not sleepy anymore! Come in!"
Three soldiers came in and put ten roast chickens and ten bottles of Laobaigan on Monk Wei's table.
The third battalion commander asked the soldiers to withdraw first, then looked at Monk Wei with a smile:
"Captain Wei, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied! Quite satisfied!"
There is wine and meat here, how can I not be satisfied?
"Since Captain Wei is satisfied, can you tell us what the sparking and lightning grenade is all about?"
One who eats someone's food should be grateful, and one who takes someone's money should be grateful. Seeing that the third battalion commander was so "sincere", Monk Wei decided to tell him the secret weapon, as these weapons would be equipped to the entire army soon anyway.
Just when Monk Wei was getting ready to start talking nonstop.
Another voice came.
"Captain Wei, look what I brought you?"
The second battalion commander came over leisurely, carrying a few bottles of wine and roast chicken in his hands.
"Second Battalion Commander, I remember I didn't make a bet with you yesterday?"
The second battalion commander was completely confused. When Wei Heshang made a bet with the third battalion commander yesterday, he was fighting the Japanese devils. How could he have the time to make a bet?
"What bet? I just came to give you some of our local specialties, to show my hospitality!"
The third battalion commander walked over with disdain and pointed at two large bags of things.
"Specialties? Braised chicken from Dezhou! Lao Baigan from Hengshui! Tsk!"
The second battalion commander rolled his eyes at the third battalion commander.
"That's better than coming here empty-handed!"
When the third battalion commander heard this, he thought, isn’t this an insult?
Shandong is a hospitable province, so it's unreasonable to visit someone empty-handed!
The third battalion commander took the second battalion commander's arm and walked into Monk Wei's room, pointing at the table that was piled high with things.
"See? These are all sent by me!"
"Tsk, that's a big deal!"
The second battalion commander ignored the third battalion commander, put the things on the table, and then moved closer to Monk Wei who was watching the fun.
"Captain Wei, what on earth were those grenades you threw yesterday?"
