Hearing this, the head of the regiment asked with his arms crossed in confusion.

The incident happened suddenly, and after they returned, Staff Officer Xue couldn't explain why Zhao Shixun insisted on staying to attack the stronghold, so it was just that the regiment commander and political commissar had always been puzzled.

"Oh, that's not it. This matter is also coincidental, we were indeed targeted by Zhu Dagui as soon as we entered the village. But the reason is not that he found out my true identity or Staff Officer Xue, but something else. “

"Another thing? That thing?! “

Not only the regiment commander, but even the political commissar was confused by Zhao Shixun's words.

"I guess the head of the regiment and the political commissar already know half of this, and he has something to do with a group of bandits we met on the road."

"Oh, you mean the bandits from Flying Tiger Mountain you met?"

"Well, that's them. On the night before we arrived in Zhengjiapo Village, not far from the village, the Japanese attacked a cottage called Feihushan.

Not long ago, this cottage had gone down the mountain to besiege the Zhengjiapo stronghold, but suffered a heavy defeat, and it is said that nearly 100 people were killed. ”

"Really!? The puppet army in this stronghold is actually so strong? ”

Hearing that nearly 100 bandits had been killed, Regiment Leader Lei was stunned and immediately sat up straight.

Commander Lei is very concerned about any combat-effective enemy that appears in his guerrilla zone, after all, it is related to the life and death of the vanguard regiment.

"It's one thing that the defenders are strong, but I think the bandits must have leaked the news beforehand. However, the defenders of that stronghold had been transferred to the county seat by the Japanese, and now they are all ordinary eaters with little combat effectiveness. ”

Seeing that the head of the regiment nodded thoughtfully, Zhao Shixun continued: "According to Lao He, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Feihu Mountain should have changed its bad habit of robbing homes and houses, and instead attacked devils and traitors everywhere. Moreover, they have been secretly exchanging news with many villagers in Zhengjiapo Village. After the Japanese puppet army took Feihu Mountain, Zhu Dagui planned to kidnap some villagers in the village who had been close to Feihu Mountain to the Japanese, so as to gain the trust of the Japanese.

Zhu Dagui probably suspected that Lao He had dealings with the bandits in Feihu Mountain, so after learning the news that the Japanese were besieging Feihu Mountain, he sent people to monitor Lao He's family all the time. And as soon as we arrived at Lao He's house in casual clothes that day, Zhu Dagui had already discovered us.

As we carried Staff Officer Xue out of the village, two of his men followed us all the way. ”

"After discovering that we were being followed, we took out the two tails and captured one of them. After interrogation, I learned that Zhu Dagui had mistakenly mistaken a few of us for the remnants of Feihu Mountain who had entered the village to investigate, and wanted to follow us and find out where we were hiding, so that he could send the news to the puppet army and the devils. The most important thing is that the platoon commander of the puppet army in that stronghold happened to be having a banquet at Zhu's house. ”

"Oh! What a traitorous landlord who is determined to work for the devil. It would be a pity for such people to let it go easily. ”

Hearing this, political commissar Jiang Hongfei lit a cigarette, looked at Zhao Shixun and said.

Looking at the political commissar, Zhao Shixun nodded slightly and continued:

"The political commissar said yes, I learned from the captives that this maintenance president dared to be such an arrogant traitor, so I decided to teach him a deep lesson."

"After arranging for Heiwa and Brother Zhuzi to send Staff Officer Xue back, I escorted the prisoners back to Zhu Dagui's house, and then found an opportunity to rush in and control Zhu Dagui, the platoon commander of the puppet army, and a group of guards who were eating and drinking."

"What? You control them yourself? How many people are there and what kind of weapons? ”

Captain Lei, who had been holding his arms and listening quietly, heard this, stared at the table with wide eyes and asked incredulously. Not only Captain Lei, but everyone present except Zhou Yu looked at Zhao Shixun with suspicion. And Xue Liqun, who had been making a face on the side, directly laughed and sneered.

"Cut ....... Still alone, are you singing for you, Guan Yun is thousands of miles away and riding alone? ”

When Xue Liqun said this, everyone's faces were extremely embarrassed for a while, and Yang Chenghu laughed even more.

"Uh-huh......! Give me a quiet ......! Company Commander Zhao, you continued. ”

With the head of the regiment coughing heavily, everyone hurriedly put away their laughter. Zhao Shixun glanced meaningfully at Xue Liqun, who was holding back a smile, raised his voice and continued:

"There are fourteen people on the other side, of which eleven are the Zhu family's guards, and two are puppet soldiers, with a total of fourteen short guns!"

"Fourteen!? …… Impossible, didn't they resist? ”

Glancing at Han Weimin, the commander of the first battalion who raised the question, Zhao Shixun suddenly left the table, walked to the guard soldier at the door in a few steps, and pulled out a grenade from the opponent's waist and held it in his hand.

"Quite simply, because I tied this thing to the captives I had subdued, and the lead was in my hands. As long as they don't want to die with me, they have to listen to me! ”

Looking at the grenade in Zhao Shixun's hand, except for the questioning of the guards and soldiers in the conference room, it was almost audible that the needle fell!

"Good ......! What a fucking kind! This trick Lao Tzu gives you a good shout! ”

With a bang, Captain Lei slapped the table and gave Zhao Shixun a thumbs up.

"Be brave and resourceful, Comrade Zhao Shixun, you have done a good job, but we still have to be cautious and cautious in this kind of lonely action. After all, you have to save yourself to destroy your enemies. ”

Hearing this, the political commissar looked at Zhao Shixun and nodded appreciatively. However, political commissar Jiang still expressed his worries.

"Hey......, Lao Jiang, you're too worried. We and the devils are fundamentally unequal in strength, inferior in weapons, inferior in training, and without some tricks in tactics, then this battle will not be fought. ”

"Hehe, that's true."

……

With Zhao Shixun's meticulous battle report, everyone seemed to be in it. When Zhao Shixun finished his report, Captain Lei took the lead in applauding.

In the warm applause of everyone, Zhao Shixun saluted a standard military salute before sitting down at the signal of the political commissar.

Seeing Zhao Shixun sit down amid applause, Xue Liqun, who had been silent, stood up with a crutch and struggled.

"Commander, commissar, I want to say a few words."

"Yes, if Staff Officer Xue has anything to say, just say it. It doesn't matter what you hurt, does it? , or do you want to sit and say? ”

The political commissar saw that Xue Liqun, whose face was pale, suddenly stood up, nodded and asked with concern.

"Thank you for the political commissar's concern, my injuries are not in the way, but I am bleeding too much and weak."

After thanking him, Xue Liqun glanced at the officers of the Pioneer Regiment present, and his eyes finally fixed on Zhao Shixun.

Seeing that this Staff Officer Xue, who had prejudices against himself, stood up, Zhao Shixun's eyes narrowed, and he said in his heart that what should have come is still coming.

"For the outstanding results achieved by the Seventh Company, I, like my comrades, am also happy for the comrades of the Seventh Company. Comrade Zhao Shixun was born in a professional class and also studied in Japan, so he is indeed excellent in terms of combat quality. Whether it is arranging troops to organize training, or individual skills and tactics, I am afraid that we are among the best in our vanguard regiment. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun smiled slightly in his heart. It seems that I really underestimated this one. This kid actually wants to kill himself!

Sure enough, when he said this, Xue Liqun immediately changed his words.

"But there is a way that is good for good deeds, and good medicine is good for disease. The more we win the battle, the more we have to see when the problem is exposed.

As a soldier of the Eighth Route Army and a responsible operational staff officer, I have the responsibility and obligation to raise some of the problems of Comrade Zhao Shixun's work style exposed during the battle. I don't mean anything else, I just want to promote the progress of comrades. ”

Seeing that the regiment commander and political commissar did not stop him, Xue Liqun paused slightly, and continued to say in a deep voice:

"As a revolutionary fighter, there is nothing wrong with being brave and fearless. But bravery is not blind individual heroism! Still less should this be used as a fig leaf to cover up one's disregard for military discipline and private actions.

I naturally remember Comrade Zhao Shixun's rescue of me. However, our Eighth Route Army is an organized and disciplined glorious revolutionary contingent, and it is the iron discipline of our Eighth Route Army to obey orders in all actions.

Comrade Zhao Shixun's combat report was very comprehensive and detailed, but I don't think it's good to keep silent about his disregard for discipline and private actions. We are a revolutionary contingent, and we must be good at self-examination and self-criticism. The Chair also said that people can make rapid progress through self-criticism. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Liqun looked at Zhao Shixun, who had a cold face, and smiled fakely.

"Of course, Comrade Zhao Shixun has served in the old army all the year round, and he has just joined our Eighth Route Army, and he has some habits of the old army that cannot be changed for a while, and I also express my understanding. In the future, as long as we strengthen our own study, I believe that Comrade Zhao Shixun will naturally be able to complete the reborn change. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun didn't do anything, and still looked calm. But Zhou Yu, who was sitting next to him, had an ugly face, he was the instructor of the Seventh Company and the leader of the party group. Xue Liqun's provocation in this regard can be said to be a direct slap in the face of Zhou Yu, who is responsible for the construction of the army's political consciousness and organizational discipline.

How can you say that Zhou Yu is also an old eight-way person, let Xue Liqun talk about his partner like this, he immediately felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Staff Officer Xue, it's too one-sided for you to say this. As the saying goes, plans don't keep up with change. You were seriously injured at the time, and it was Company Commander Zhao who made a stretcher and carried you out of the village. Being tracked by the enemy shows that our whereabouts have been exposed, and Company Commander Zhao, as the military commander of the Seventh Company, has the right to make a decision on the spot. Moreover, we were nearly four days away from the regiment headquarters, and there was no radio station, so it was impossible to ask for instructions in advance. ”

…… To be continued, thank you for your support, I will stick to it.
