Not long after cleaning the battlefield, they received the order to retreat.

"It's only been more than two hours, why did you retreat?" Han Laoliu asked in confusion.

"Stop talking nonsense and just follow the orders."Zhao Jianguo didn't want to explain more.

He had read this historical data before and vaguely remembered that Laiyuan County was a very important strategic location.

The Japanese from Zhangjiakou to Laiyuan County had always been eyeing the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border area.

Laiyuan County became the If our army takes control of Laiyuan County, we can send troops northward through Chanan and approach Zhangjiakou, the hometown of the Japanese. The enemy is trying to use the strongholds from Zhangjiakou to Laiyuan to separate the base area and prevent the Eighth Route Army from advancing towards Chanan and Yanyuan. North Mobile, and then consolidate its occupied area.

Since the enemy invaded Western Hebei, they have disposed of many bunkers and deep ditches in Laiyuan and sent heavy troops to guard them. They used this as a stronghold to continuously raid the base area. The

1,000 Japanese soldiers in the vanguard were divided into three groups, the 715th Regiment. The ones resisting were the Japs on the West Road. It is said that there were more than 500 Japs.

The 715th Regiment must have been fighting hard, but I don’t know if Li Kaishan and his men were covering the flanks. The casualties were serious.

The troops withdrew to their base, and Zhao Jianguo also saw the injured. Li Kaishan

"Although the little Japs fell into our ambush, the firepower was still very fierce and they destroyed the Japs nearby. The Japs withdrew and we won."Li Kaishan briefly and plainly told the battle situation.

He defeated the Japanese strategic goals and eliminated more than 200 Japanese. It was indeed considered a victory.

However, looking at the endless stream of people transporting corpses in the camp and the wounded soldiers everywhere, I knew that this victory was not easy to come by.

Zhao Jianguo didn’t ask any more questions and briefly talked about the situation on his side.

"You kid can do it. You can kill a Japanese detachment without any damage. It’s another great achievement. I’ll report it back to you later!"This news also made Li Kaishan smile,

"It was all luck, and the Japanese were caught off guard."Zhao Jianguo said modestly.

"Don't talk about luck, it's because of your good command. This time I told the boss that your platoon leader position has been vacant for some time, so I want you to take over."As he said this, he stretched out his hand to pat his shoulder, but the wound was pulled, and he grimaced in pain.

"Let’s recover from our injuries first. Zhao Jianguo poured a glass of water and handed it to him and asked,"I asked you to apply for support at Huangtuling. How's that going?""

"I've already reported it, just waiting for the news."

Huaguo, Hengcheng.

Zhao Dezhu spent most of his belongings on his last shopping trip.

He took away the original painting of Guo Moruo and put a watch just given by his grandfather in his pocket and went out. The antique market in Hengcheng is in the city. The old street in the center is next to the Trade City. The government planned to carry out antique renovation a few years ago. The street on the left sells antiques, and the street on the right sells some souvenirs and local products.

Of course, it is not easy to buy antiques. Some of them are modern handicrafts.

The authenticity depends on your own eyesight. Zhao Dezhu has never been exposed to this area before.

His only contact was when he accompanied his classmates to buy mahogany bracelets when he was in school.

Today is the weekend, and there are many people in the market. , there is a street stall after entering the door.

A piece of cloth is spread on the ground, which is filled with real and fake trinkets, large and small, and then there are stores one after another.

Zhao Dezhu bypassed the street stall area and went directly to the online store. Qingya Zhai has a good reputation.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be greeted by a cultural atmosphere, which makes people feel that they have been sublimated.

"Little brother, what do you need?"The owner Wang Xingfa greeted him with a smile.

Wang Xingfa was in his forties and weighed more than 160 pounds. He was sitting there smiling and making tea, giving people a very reliable feeling.

Zhao Dezhu didn't talk nonsense, sat down opposite and got straight to the point. Said:"Does the boss collect things?"

As he said that, he took out his watch and the"Man Jiang Hong".

Wang Xingfa didn't say anything. He put on his gloves, picked up the watch and looked at it for a few times before putting it aside.

He was quite interested in"Man Jiang Hong" and read it five times. It took six minutes to put it down.

He did not rush to comment, but asked:"I wonder where these two things come from, little friend?

Zhao Dezhu said without thinking much:"My grandfather gave it to me.""

The boss nodded, thinking that it was left to him by his grandfather, and the time was right.

Looking at the big words"layman" on this kid's forehead, he felt that there should be no problem with the origin of the things, so he said:

"This watch should have been produced by Kinzler in Germany during World War II. It is in good condition and was considered a good watch at the time. However, after Germany was defeated, his watches were not well-known and it was difficult to find buyers."

The boss said it very tactfully, but Zhao Dezhu also understood that this watch is not valuable.

He didn't say anything and waited for Wang Xingfa's next words.

"As for this calligraphy, it should undoubtedly be Guo Moruo's original work, but it is a pity that it is regular script."

"Does this make any difference?"

"Master Guo is known for his cursive writing, which is vigorous, free and easy, and his movements are smooth. However, not many of his regular script works have survived, but his skill can be seen."

"What about the price?"Zhao Dezhu asked anxiously. What he was most concerned about was how much it was worth.

Wang Xingfa touched his chin, rolled his eyes and said:"If it's cursive, one hundred thousand yuan is not a problem, but regular script is.……"

"Just tell me how much you can afford."Zhao Dezhu said impatiently

"Twenty thousand."

Looking at the two chubby fingers in front of him, Zhao Dezhu put away the things and turned around to leave.

Although he doesn't understand antiques, he can bargain. No matter how much the boss pays, just cut it in half, and vice versa. He counted silently in his heart. one two three……

"Little brother, don't leave in a hurry. If you are not satisfied with the price, we can discuss it again." Pulling Zhao Dezhu back to his seat, he quickly explained:

"The emphasis in the antique business is that if you have a good heart, and you meet a collector who likes you, you will be willing to pay one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, but this word is considered a niche after all, and it is difficult to pay high prices. You have to leave some profit for me.."

After hearing these words, Zhao Dezhu understood in his heart that this profiteer didn't even pay half of the price, so he directly made a gesture:"80,000, I'll sell it to you. Wang

Xingfa rolled his eyes cryptically:"Thirty thousand, this will take a long time. It's too stressful on funds.""

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Dezhu stood up again, and was pushed back before he could stand upright.

"Why are you young man like this? Just talk carefully about the price and just leave at any time. What's going on?"Wang Xingfa said dissatisfied.

Zhao Dezhu knew that he was acting. If he was really angry, he would not be able to keep himself. After thinking about it, he might really be cumming, so he took a step back and said:

"Antiques will only be promoted and will not deteriorate. If you put them away, you might even make a fortune. I don't do ink. I'll give you a fixed price of 70,000. That's fine. If not, I'll ask someone else."

The two bickered for a long time, and finally sold all the calligraphy and watches for 70,000 yuan.

Wang Xingfa sent Zhao Dezhu away with a look of pain on his face, and immediately put on a smile and dialed the phone:

"Mr. Zhao, I found the regular script of Guo Moruo you wanted. It's"Man Jiang Hong". It's in very good condition. Yes, I paid for 150,000 yuan. Just give me some extra. Yes, I'll wait for you in the store."

"Mr. Wang? I just received a German watch. From what you said, it’s not from World War II. Can I give you a call? It’s in very good condition. It cost 50,000 yuan.……"

Zhao Dezhu didn't know that he had been cheated so badly. He was so happy to have a huge sum of 70,000 yuan in his heart.

He had never had so much money at once since he was a child. It felt like a dream. A piece of paper, a piece of paper A broken watch is so valuable.

My dear grandpa, you have to work hard. Your grandson’s wealth depends entirely on you.

However, for the sake of grandpa's safety, he had to get more supplies for him.

Once he had money, he had to spend a lot of money first. This time, in addition to food, he contacted a kindergarten classmate who worked in a pharmaceutical company and bought him 20,000 yuan. Blocks of anti-inflammatory drugs, etc., the Japanese are raiding, and the troops must be short of these.

It's a pity that we can't get weapons in China. Otherwise, it would be safer to buy dozens of AKs for grandpa.

Should we go abroad?

After looking at my balance of more than 30,000 yuan, I decided not to think about it for the time being.

When he got home, he took out his phone and tried to call back, but no one answered for a long time. He couldn't help but worry that something might have happened to his grandfather.
