The War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression Begins in Songhu

Chapter 88 Yuan Datou and Medals (Subscription Request)

After taking a water bottle, Hu Biao raised his head like a camel that had not had water for several days in the desert and drank the full bottle of water.

Next to him was a bowl that was cleaner than if a dog had licked it.

Looking at the bowl that didn't need to be washed, Chaozi asked:
"Are you full? If not, I'll ask Zhu Cong to stew the old hen for you.

I didn’t know when you would finally figure it out; I was worried that you wouldn’t eat it after stewing it, so I kept it and didn’t kill it.”

Frankly speaking, Chaozi and the others didn't know how Hu Biao, this idiot, figured it out.

But this is not important, and they don't intend to ask. What is important is that Hu Biao finally agreed to eat and stopped pretending to be dead. After getting up from the bed, he ate a large bowl of brown rice and four fried eggs.

The entire meal time never exceeds two minutes.

After that, Hu Biao became completely normal, at least it seemed that way.

He shook his head to signal that the old hen should not be stewed in a hurry. At the same time, he quickly reached out and took out half a pack of cigarettes from AT's pocket.

He popped one into his mouth and stuffed the rest directly into his trouser pocket.

He didn't forget to curse, "Coughing, still smoking? You're coughing like this and still don't know what to do. I'll beat you to death, you consumptive bastard."

AT was about to curse back on the spot, but when he thought of Hu Biao, he calmed down and didn't want to be scolded by him again, so he forced himself to hold it back.

I turned my head away and decided not to look at this idiot, so as not to feel sorry for my half pack of cigarettes.

Hu Biao paid no attention to the young white-collar worker's excited expression. He struck a match, lit a cigarette, and started shouting at the top of his voice:
"Zhu Cong, Zhu Cong, where have you been?

Find me a clean military uniform. I need to take a shower and change into it right away. I stink all over. Hurry up, I have something important to do later."

After hearing this, Zhu Cong came out from a house dozens of meters away. Seeing Commander Hu finally recovering, he was so happy that he almost cried, and naturally agreed immediately.

Afterwards, Hu Biao, who had taken off all his clothes, took a towel and walked to a well not far away.

After fetching a bucket of ice-cold well water, he started washing up straight away; without any detergents, he just relied on brute force to scrub the mud off his body.

In the end, I lost at least two kilograms in weight.

He changed into the major's uniform that Yang Sen and his men brought with them.

When he was facing a mirror in the room, using a sharp dagger to shave his already messy beard on his chin, he looked at Chaozi and the others behind him, and only then did he truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Well, that booger-sized, smelly, and showy Commander Hu is back again.

What they didn't know was that Hu Biao was just forcibly suppressing his emotions; whenever he thought of the scene of Annie dying in his arms, his heart was filled with anger.

In this kind of mental state, this guy is like a volcano that could erupt at any time. Who knows what crazy things he might do...

******
After Hu Biao shaved his beard and regained his handsome face.

Together with six other travelers including Black Star, and the orderly Zhu Cong, a group of eight people set out again with all their equipment.

Where to go? Of course, to the village a few kilometers away where the 21st Sichuan Army was temporarily stationed. What was the big deal about a few of them wandering around outside?
However, the most important thing is to go to the headquarters of the 134th Division and find Hu Biao's cheap brother, Director Sun.

To be more precise, it is to find the real big man behind Director Sun.

After finding them, no matter whether it is endless promises or deception, ask them to introduce a big boss who has enough status and can have a say in the Battle of Shanghai.

Anyway, there is only one theme, which is to ruin the counterattack plan of the Gui army.

If we can urge the bald principal to end this battle as soon as possible, while it is not too late and the situation can still be controlled, and allow the army to evacuate Songhu in an orderly manner, it will naturally be the best result.

While walking, Zhu Cong was naturally sent to the front by them.

It is called exploring the way, but in fact it is to give them a safe space to talk about some sensitive content that the natives of this world are not comfortable hearing.

At the beginning, Huang A'di took out a few dollars from his trouser pocket and handed them to Hu Biao, saying with a smug look on his face: "You idiot, let me show you some good stuff." Hu Biao took it in his hand, flipped through it for a few times, and then complained in confusion:
"What's so special about this thing? It's just a Yuan Datou.

I heard that in the modern world, a good-quality one can only be sold for 1000 yuan. There are eight of them here, so that's only yuan."

When complaining about these contents, Hu Biao's tone was quite disdainful.

All we can say is that people's mentality often changes dramatically with different status and environment.

When he was still doing odd jobs in Majuqiao, eight thousand yuan was a huge sum of money, enough to keep him living comfortably for two or three months.

Once the business of oil-splashed noodles and roujiamo is established, the profit will only be for a few days.

This guy no longer cares much about such a sum of money.

After hearing this, Huang A'di looked at Hu Biao with disdain and shouted, "You idiot, your eyesight is only a little shallow, you need more practice.

Look carefully, this is the 'Gansu Province Yuan Datou with Characters' that I found among those thousand dollars; the price in the modern dimension is a bit lower recently, but I can definitely sell it for ten thousand yuan."

When Hu Biao heard the price of ten thousand, he immediately became excited.

After all, he had to earn so much money first. Even if the kitchen knife used to chop the roujiamo produced sparks, it would still take a long time.

But even though the Yuan Datou coins cost so much, Huang Adi was still quite dissatisfied:
"It's a pity that I haven't found other, rarer silver coins. This thing is still not very valuable.

You know, in a video I saw on Tingquan, I saw a 'Republic of China 2599th Year Zhang Da Huzi Army and Navy Grand Marshal Commemorative Coin,' and the reference price was million.

"That's easy. When we get to the 21st Army's base, you don't have to worry about other things. Just go find out if our friendly forces have any of these valuable things.

Not to mention one for one, they would definitely be happy to do two for one."

Black Star on the side suggested this, looking quite expectant.

While Hu Biao seconded the motion, he also gave one piece of the 'Gansu Province Yuan Datou with Characters' to each of his fellow time travelers, and kept two for himself.

As for the remaining 992 ordinary dollars, although they would be worth millions if he took them back, he had no intention of dividing them among several people.

The main reason is that he is not sure whether the Sichuan Army brothers who died in the third company can get the so-called pension in the future. He really has no confidence at all.

So they simply asked someone to bring these big dollars to their families.

Moreover, I was thinking that the amount was not enough. I would need to borrow some from my good brother Director Sun later. One hundred thousand was not too much, and ten thousand was not too few. Nine out of thirteen would be no problem. I would get it first and talk about it later.

At least we must make sure that the families of our brothers who died in battle can have a better life in the future.

After Huang A'di finished talking about Yuan Datou, Uncle Bo suddenly thought of an incident that almost cost him his life.

He actually took out a handful of medals from his trouser pocket, just like Hu Biao had just distributed Yuan Datou coins, and gave one to each person, and he finished distributing them all.

When Hu Biao took it in his hand and looked at it, he realized that it was not a medal at all, but a commemorative medal, the most common kind.

The content on both sides was the same, and it said: Commemorative Medal for the Anti-Japanese War and Bleeding for the Country in Shanghai in the 26th Year of the Republic of China.

While Hu Biao was looking at it, Huang A'di had already complained: "Why is it this thing? I was thinking that with our contribution, we should be awarded a 'Blue Sky and White Sun Medal' even if we don't.

It's not an exaggeration to award you a Medal of Independence and Freedom of one or two levels."

Complaints are complaints, but it doesn't affect this fat guy at all. I guess after he dies, even if you put his mouth in a pressure cooker for two hours, it won't be cooked.

He carefully put this medal, which represented his bloody battles in defending his country, into his pocket.

The action of putting away the commemorative medal was much more solemn than putting away the 'Gansu Province Yuan Datou with added characters' worth ten thousand yuan...
