"Ah, how is that possible?"

After listening to the words of the assistant instructor, I was far more shocked by the news of Xia Zhongbing's defection than the news of his misfortune. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Because I saw him inexplicably in the bathroom in the morning, I had a foreboding feeling at that time, and I called Lian Lian to prove whether he really had an accident.

What I didn't expect was that although he didn't die, he ran away to the Soviet Union with a gun, and for the troops, this was definitely a major political incident, which had a bearing on the ideological education of the entire army.

Seeing him blurt out in astonishment, the deputy instructor asked, "Why are you so sure that he won't run to Su Xiu?"

"He was born in a poor peasant, has a high ideological consciousness of political moles, has a firm revolutionary will, and is still an activist who studies the chairman's quotations, how can he defect to Su Xiu?"

The deputy instructor said in a deep voice: "You can't just look at the superficial phenomena, some counter-revolutionaries are good at disguising themselves, just now the battalion commander has rushed to the first company and is investigating the soldiers of the first company, I just want to hear it, during the recruit company, did you hear any reactionary remarks from him?"

"No, absolutely not!" I replied with great certainty: "He often goes to the fact that he was born a few years late, and he didn't catch up with the defense of Zhenbao Island, otherwise he would have to teach Su Xiu's gang of dogs a good lesson!"

"Then did any of his relatives and friends at home use the time he wrote the letter to say anything reactionary?"

"This ...... I haven't heard of it, so I don't think so, right?"

"In the recruit company, who do you think he had the best relationship with?"

During the training of recruits, since everyone has just arrived in the army and is not very familiar with each other, unless they are from the same place and are classmates when they are studying, of course, they have the best relationship with their classmates, that is, their comrades in the same dormitory.

Of course, among the eight comrades-in-arms in a class, there will also be intimacy and alienation because of their personalities and hobbies, as well as the relationship between the upper and lower bunks. In our class, the best relationship should be me, Fu Xiaojun, Chen Xiong, Long Guoqing and Xia Zhongbing.

Hearing the deputy instructor say that Xia Zhongbing was a traitor, I panicked, and said insincerely: "He has the best relationship with Chen Xiong, Long Guoqing and Fu Xiaojun. ”

There is no way, it is a major political problem, and I can only clear myself up first.

"Okay," the deputy instructor said, "Don't talk nonsense about Xia Zhongbing. You go out first and call Chen Xiong. ”

"Yes!"

I hurriedly ran to the cooking class and saw Chen Xiong cutting vegetables, so I immediately said hello to the cooking squad leader, saying that the deputy instructor asked Chen Xiong to go to the camp headquarters.

After Chen Xiong followed me out of the cooking class, I warned him softly: "Hey, I heard that Xia Zhongbing defected to Su Xiu......

"Ah, how is this ......"

"Shhhh

Chen Xiong stared at a pair of stunned eyes, but kept the volume to the lowest: "How is this possible? I heard that his father is the deputy director of the county sports committee, and his mother is also the national women's 38 red flag bearer. By the way, he also has an uncle who works in the county armed forces department, and he is absolutely well-rooted, how can he defect?"

"I don't know. You go up quickly, and when the deputy instructor asks questions, be careful, and don't talk nonsense. ”

"Oh. Chen Xiong asked with some concern: "Lao Zhang, if he really defected, wouldn't we be implicated?"

"You are the head of the army as a laborer, and I have the final say on whether you are implicated or not?" I pushed him: "Go quickly! Remember, if you can say you don't know, you can say you don't know, don't talk like a river, like running water turning on a faucet without stopping." ”

"yes, I see. Chen Xiong just took two steps and then turned back to me and asked, "Do you want to ...... You're going with me?"

"The assistant instructor is looking for you to talk alone, and I will accompany you to die?"

Chen Xiong scratched the back of his head, sighed deeply, and walked towards the camp headquarters nervously.

When he walked into the camp, I crept back to my dormitory, and quickly put my ear against the wall, hoping to hear what he and the assistant instructor were saying next door, but unfortunately I couldn't hear anything.

Just as I was scratching my ears and cheeks as if I was sitting on pins and needles, I suddenly heard the sound of a car's motor outside the window, and it seemed that there was more than one car.

In the more than half a year that I have been a soldier, the most vehicles that have entered the camp at one time in my memory are that after Fu Xiaojun disappeared, the local public security and regiment headquarters drove several jeeps at the same time.

I immediately ran to the window and was stunned.

The first to enter the gate of the camp were two jeeps, followed by two Jiefang trucks loaded with loaded guns and ammunition of other soldiers, all of whom had grim expressions, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Soon I heard the sound of the assistant instructor running downstairs from the battalion headquarters in the next room, and as a clerk, I immediately turned around and followed.

When I followed him to the playground, I saw the regimental commissar get out of the jeep in front of me, and our instructor, who is now the deputy director of the political mole department, followed from the jeep behind.

"Political commissar," the deputy director walked up to the political commissar and gestured with his hand to the barracks where the battalion headquarters was located: "Please go to the battalion headquarters and sit for a while, and I will arrange it." ”

The commissar looked gloomy and walked forward without saying a word.

The deputy director immediately glanced at the assistant instructor, who immediately turned around and led the way, and I quickly flashed to the side.

The deputy director waved to the fighters in the first truck, and more than thirty fighters jumped out of the compartments. He went to the gate again and said to the soldiers standing guard: "Go back to your class, stand by and no one is allowed to leave the dormitory." ”

"Yes. ”

He turned to the two cadres who got out of the car, and from their equipment, they looked like company-level cadres, and said: "You go and take over the No. 2 and No. 3 posts, and at the same time set up guards at the gates of the three barracks, and no one is allowed to enter or leave." ”

"Yes. ”

He didn't pay attention to the soldiers in the truck behind him, and when he saw me standing on the playground, he frowned and asked, "Where are you standing and what are you doing, and you won't go back to the dormitory?"

"Yes. ”

I quickly turned around and ran back to my dormitory, and as I passed by the entrance of the camp department, I heard the political commissar talking on the phone.

I didn't dare to linger at the door, so I hurried back to my dormitory, thinking: Don't look at Chen Xiong's usual swagger, he really let him say it today, not only the people in our class will be implicated, it seems that the entire battalion will be controlled.

Not long ago, Lin Biao defected out of the country, and the plane crashed and died in Öndörkhan, and this is the Sino-Soviet border, and at this juncture there was a time for soldiers to defect, not to mention the regimental headquarters, I estimate that the division headquarters, the military headquarters and even the entire military region are very nervous.

It is estimated that the regiment commander, chief of staff, and director of the political mole department have already rushed to the first company with their people, and even the battalion headquarters, which is more than 200 kilometers away from the border, has been replaced, and I am afraid that the entire company will be replaced.

There were not many people in the battalion headquarters, and now they were ordered to stay in the dormitory and not be able to come out, and there were no people from our battalion in the entire camp, but the people brought by the political commissar and the deputy director from the regiment kept patrolling the entire camp, and that scene really made me feel a little uneasy.

If Xia Zhongbing really defected, and the whole battalion would be implicated for this, we, the fellow countrymen, would undoubtedly become the target of key scrutiny, isn't this Nima a thing that fell from the sky?

It was already lunchtime, but no one in the entire camp, including the two truckloads of soldiers who came to the commissar, said anything about eating.

This time, without sticking to the wall, I could hear the political commissar being furious next door, and I couldn't hear the specific content clearly, and he must have reprimanded the deputy director and deputy instructor for not strictly managing the troops and not doing enough ideological work.

I suddenly became worried in my heart, our instructor has just been promoted to deputy director, and he won't be demoted to the camp to be an instructor because of this, right?

Just when I was thinking nonsense, I suddenly heard the voice of the political commissar next door that was almost angry: "Go, call Zhang Zichen to me!"

Because he called out my name, he heard it very clearly, and I was immediately confused: How could the political commissar still know my name?

After a while, the deputy instructor rushed to the door of my dormitory, and shouted to me with a blue face: "Zhang Zichen." ”

"Here!"

"Hurry up to the battalion headquarters!"

"Yes!"

Seeing the face of the deputy instructor, my heart panicked, even if I wanted to break my head, I couldn't think of what Xia Zhongbing's defection had to do with me, what did the political commissar call me to the battalion headquarters to do at this time.

When I walked into the battalion headquarters, I just raised my hand to salute the political commissar, and before I could open my mouth to report, the political commissar stared at a pair of big eyes and asked, "You are Zhang Zichen?"

"Yes, Chief. ”

"What did you call to the First Company to find Xia Zhongbing this morning?"

After Xia Zhongbing defected, the troops would definitely carry out a full investigation, and the first company was on the front line, and the company's telephone was a combat readiness phone, and every communication was recorded.

"Report to the chief, because I haven't seen him for a long time, so I made a phone call to ask about his company. ”

The commissar's eyes stared at me like lightning, and my heart went straight to the hair.

"It's been three months since he left the company, and there has never been any correspondence or telephone exchange between you, so why did you call him just when he defected?"

This Nima really drank cold water and stuffed his teeth, I was also afraid that something would happen to him, so I called Yilian to find him, now it's okay, just like Fu Xiaojun's incident at the beginning, it is inevitable that I will be involved.

The commissar's words left me speechless, and I had to reply: "Report to the chief, I ...... I didn't know he was going to defect. ”

The political commissar said coldly: "After your group of recruits separated, you never contacted other comrades-in-arms, nor did you contact Xia Zhongbing, but at the same time as he was a traitor, you called him alone, I'm afraid it's not as simple as you just want to ask him about the situation in the company, right?"

I can't wash it away by jumping into the Yellow River.

The words have already been spoken, and I can't change them, let alone tell the political commissar about meeting Xia Zhongbing in the bathroom, otherwise, he will definitely think that I am talking nonsense, and at the same time, he will suspect that I have a direct relationship with Xia Zhongbing's defection.

Although I had saved the daughter and lover of the assistant instructor, his sinister appearance made me feel untrusted, and I could only look at the deputy director with pleading eyes.

The deputy director didn't react at first, but after a while, he sensed something in my gaze, and he said to the political commissar: "Political commissar, he has been with me for a long time, or I will take him to the next door and ask alone." ”
