Chapter 11: Suspicion
"What do you say? What Manchurian soldiers? I think you found out that your identity has been revealed, so you want to run away under the pretext, right? Before Ma Changhe took the diary handed over by Zhuo Fei, Political Commissar Xu had already snatched the diary and grabbed it in his hand. After turning the pages one after another, Political Commissar Xu said with a cold face, "I also said that you are not a spy, this article is full of Japanese, I don't believe you can understand Japanese." Old Ma, ask your people to arrest him, and when he goes back, he will have a good trial. ”
The skeptical Ma Changhe took the diary handed by Political Commissar Xu and opened it for a few looks, and Captain Zhao couldn't help but lean over and stretch out his head to look at the diary, and sure enough, he turned a few pages one after another, and it was full of unintelligible characters. Zhuo Fei's origin is indeed suspicious, and whether it is his shooting of prisoners or disassembling firearms, it also seems suspicious, so Ma Changhe did not disobey the order of Political Commissar Xu, and beckoned the two guerrillas under him to look at Zhuo Fei, and Zhuo Fei's rifle and cowhide satchel naturally belonged to Political Commissar Xu.
Zhuo Fei's ankle sprain has not yet recovered, and even if he resists, he may not be able to take advantage of it, so Zhuo Fei did not resist, but just glared angrily at Ma Changhe and Political Commissar Xu, if his eyes can kill people, I am afraid that Ma Changhe and Political Commissar Xu have been killed by Zhuo Fei several times. Captain Zhao has worked underground, although he is not a good hand at fighting, but his vigilance is excellent, after listening to Zhuo Fei's words, he couldn't help but take out one of the few remaining captives and ask carefully for a while.
"Lao Ma, we were afraid that we wronged that kid just now, what they said is right, these are not serious Japanese soldiers at all, they are all fucking Manchurian soldiers who do not recognize their ancestors, and the real Japanese soldiers are a few miles away." Ignoring the political commissar Xu who was playing with the southern pistol, Captain Zhao, who had a gloomy face, just pulled Ma Changhe aside and whispered, informing Ma Changhe of the situation of the Chinese Lai he had just passed from the captive.
The Manchurian Soldiers are an army composed of citizens of Northeast China in the Puppet Manchurian Era, and the Manchurian Soldiers are composed of five major ethnic groups: Han, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, and Manchu who joined the Manchurian nationality, and the main soldiers are Han Chinese. Although most of the Manchurian troops were Han, they received the same training as the Japanese native troops, used the same equipment, and used Japanese to converse in their daily lives, and the soldiers in the Manchurian troops did not admit that they were still Chinese at all, they all claimed to be Manchurians.
Where had Captain Zhao and Ma Changhe heard of the Manchurian troops, if it hadn't happened to be Zhuo Fei's reminder, they wouldn't have known that these guys wearing Japanese military uniforms and Japanese soldiers would be a group of Chinese. "We have to move immediately, our side was shooting and grenades just now, maybe the real Japanese squad has already rushed over here, and we can't stop the Japanese army from besieging again." Ma Changhe was also taken aback in his heart, he was not worried that he would be surrounded by the Japanese army again, but he was surprised that Zhuo Fei's words were confirmed.
After a busy time, only a few dozen corpses of Manchurian soldiers remained on the hillside filled with the smoke and smell of blood, and the students and prisoners were caught in the middle by the guerrillas and evacuated all the way to the northwest. After walking for several more hours, the group finally arrived at a guerrilla fortress village and stopped to rest.
When the troops entered the village, Ma Changhe did not detain Zhuo Fei as explained by Political Commissar Xu, but only settled Zhuo Fei alone in a room, saying that he wanted him to rest first, while the other students were immediately escorted to another village more than ten miles away. Of course, Zhuo Fei would not be unaware of Ma Changhe's arrangement, but he was open in his heart and calm, so he didn't say anything.
Captain Zhao, who had crossed paths on the road, came to see Zhuo Fei once, and the two chatted casually for a while, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but be curious, and began to ask Captain Zhao about the various situations in the base. As soon as he heard Zhuo Fei's question, Captain Zhao's face changed, and after coughing a few times, Captain Zhao either didn't know anything about these questions, or he talked about him left and right. Soon, Zhuo Fei realized that his question was too presumptuous, so he stopped talking after laughing, and Captain Zhao didn't speak either. Both of them sat silently, and after a few minutes, Captain Zhao finally couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and said goodbye.
When Captain Zhao left, he didn't close the door, so Zhuo Fei in the room easily saw the two guerrillas with guns standing at the door, but after Captain Zhao left, the two guerrillas did not leave. Zhuo Fei couldn't help but glance at the two guerrillas, and after a look, he found that these two people were somewhat familiar, and after a closer look, he finally recognized these two people as Shi and Iron Bull, who had escorted them all the way.
Seeing that it was an acquaintance, Zhuo Fei immediately walked over, he was really a little depressed after sitting in the house for so long, he wanted to say hello to them and go out to walk around the village by the way. As soon as Zhuo Fei walked to the door, he was stopped by the vigilant stone and iron bull, and the two of them also euphemistically "persuaded" Zhuo Fei to go back to the house. Seeing that when Shi and Tie Niu "persuaded" themselves to go back to the house, they not only looked at themselves with the same eyes as "bad guys" but also had an expression of "look at how you can escape this time", Zhuo Fei had no choice but to dispel the idea of reasoning with them and returned to the house depressed.
After sitting for a while, Zhuo Fei couldn't help but smile bitterly, his performance in today's encounter was indeed outstanding, and the guerrillas couldn't help but doubt his true identity. Besides, the questions about the base area that I just asked Captain Zhao are indeed quite sensitive, and they are really suspected of spying, and it is not unjust to be suspected of being a bad person. What's more, the guerrillas are only under house arrest now, which is already very face-saving, thinking of this, Zhuo Fei is relieved.
However, even if you suspect that you are a bad person, it seems that you don't need to go to Shuanggang and open the door to monitor such an exaggeration, right? Are you really afraid that you will run away? At ten o'clock in the evening, the hungry Zhuo Fei finally waited for his dinner, which was two nests and a piece of old pickles. Waiting for the stone to deliver the meal to leave the house, Zhuo Fei, who had a bitter mouth at the corner of his mouth, looked at the nest and the old pickles in front of him and couldn't help but secretly worry, if this kind of meal is only eaten two or three times, it is okay to say, but if you let yourself eat these things, it will be a little unbearable.
However, Zhuo Fei was really hungry at this time, after all, he only ate some dry food on the way to retreat today, so after worrying for a while, Zhuo Fei still picked up the nest head and the old pickles. After eating a few bites, Zhuo Fei found that this nest head with old pickles was not so unpalatable, and after a few bites, he filled the two nest heads into his stomach, and after pouring them together, Zhuo Fei, who had filled his stomach, lay on his back on the kang and began to close his eyes and recuperate.
Zhuo Fei was full of water and food to close his eyes and recuperate, but Captain Zhao went straight to Ma Changhe and Political Commissar Xu to discuss how to deal with Zhuo Fei's affairs, Captain Zhao never thought that Zhuo Fei would be a spy sent by the enemy. Seeing that Captain Zhao repeatedly insisted on treating Zhuo Fei with caution, Political Commissar Xu, who was born as a political work cadre, couldn't help but be anxious, and then asked, "Then tell me, if he has no problem, why is he not in the list of students given to us by the superiors?" ”
It was Captain Zhao who escorted these students out of Beiping, and he was the last to speak on this matter, and when he heard that Political Commissar Xu had such questions, he immediately said: "Of course he will not appear on the list, I have already explained to Lao Ma, after we escorted the students out of Beiping, we met some people who ran against him." At that time, we encountered a group of Japanese soldiers chasing after us, and the people who ran away broke up, and a few of them followed us all the way, and this kid was the one who would follow us, so naturally he was not on the list! ”
Captain Zhao's rhetoric was not strict, but it was reasonable, and Political Commissar Xu had to change the question, "Okay, even if these are all right, then let me ask you, how can a guy who looks younger than those students be so good at fighting?" Political Commissar Xu's question made Captain Zhao and Ma Changhe groan, in fact, this was also where the two of them were suspicious of Zhuo Fei.
After pondering for a while, Ma Changhe came up with a fairly safe method: "I don't understand why that kid is so capable of fighting, but I think we should trust the comrades in the base area, in my opinion, it is better to simply send that kid to the base area, I believe that if that kid is a spy, he will definitely not be able to escape the scrutiny of the comrades in the base area." ”
After listening to Ma Changhe's opinion, Political Commissar Xu couldn't help shaking his head, and answered very disapprovingly: "That kid can still understand Japanese, can you guarantee that he is not a spy sent by a little devil?" ”
Ma Changhe shook his head and replied: "I think this is even more impossible, that kid's hatred for devils is real!" I can see that! Otherwise, he wouldn't be so ruthless to the devil! ”
Political Commissar Xu groaned and said, "Maybe he is so ruthless to the devil in order to infiltrate our base area?" If you don't, there's no way to get our approval. Such a ruthless and accurate marksman has entered the base area, and once he has bad intentions for the leaders of the base area, I am afraid that there will be a big mess at that time, and we will have to guard against it. ”
Captain Zhao was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to explain it, but he didn't know why, deep down in his heart, there was an idea, that is, Zhuo Fei was definitely not a bad person, but what Political Commissar Xu just said didn't seem to be completely unreasonable, so now he was also a little confused.
"Otherwise, let's leave that kid behind, and we'll observe for a while. If that kid really has no problem, just stay in our detachment, and if we find out that he has other intentions, we can just clean him up. Since Political Commissar Xu mentioned the safety of the head of the base area, in line with the principle of being cautious, Ma Changhe proposed to leave Zhuo Fei in the guerrillas first, which was also unanimously agreed by Captain Zhao and Political Commissar Xu.
