In the brightly lit compound of the city bureau, two military vehicles drove in, all BJ212 jeeps. Among the members of this team, there are cadres from the garrison area and cadres from the military region.

Four or five people got out of the car, straightened their uniforms, and strode in.

At this time, the city bureau had just finished eating, and everyone was working overtime, working according to the orders of the task force. The crackdown on Qiu Deyuan's gang has begun, and the soldiers are very fast, and Deputy Director Liu asked Director Duan to personally command and deploy police forces to investigate and arrest Qiu Deyuan's gang.

Director Duan finally listened to Deputy Director Liu's words, and he withstood the pressure. He later learned that many of the leaders who called to plead for mercy did not receive a call from Gao Lao, and almost all of them had interests with Qiu Deyuan.

More than half an hour ago, after the provincial party committee working group was stationed in the municipal bureau, Director Duan realized that Deputy Director Liu had saved him. If he had let Qiu Deyuan go during the day, he would have been investigated by the working group at this moment, just like the directors and directors who called to plead.

"What about your leaders? I am from the Political Department of the Military Region. The loud voice of the middle-aged army cadre at the beginning directly spread throughout the office.

Soon someone went to report to Director Duan, and Director Duan and Deputy Director Liu hurriedly walked over.

Both sides saluted.

"Comrade of the troops, this is?" Director Duan shook hands with middle-aged troop cadres.

The middle-aged cadre said expressionlessly, "I am from the Political Department of the Military Region. We received a report from the investigation today, and after verification, Comrade Deng Liankun is a retired disabled soldier of our 55 th Army, a cadre of the main company, and a retired soldier who has been awarded the title of combat hero by the military region! ”

Compared with Li Lu's honorary title of combat hero, the gold content of Deng Liankun is slightly lower, of course, just looking at the unit that issued it. Li Lu is a combat hero awarded by the headquarters, and the military region is obviously slightly lower.

However, the officers and soldiers who were able to win the title of combat heroes, since 1979, have not added up to as many as two slaps!

It is not difficult to understand why the military region attaches so much importance to sending people over directly, rather than just passing through the garrison area.

Director Duan and Deputy Director Liu glanced at each other, and they both knew that the military region sent people over, and it was definitely not just to inform them of such a situation. This kind of thing can be done with a phone call.

"Thanks to the comrades in the army, Comrade Deng Liankun does not have anything on him that can prove his identity, so we can't check his personal situation, so we trouble the comrades in the army to verify." Director Duan said.

The middle-aged cadre of the army said, "Our chief ordered me to convey a few words to your unit, hoping that the local comrades can thoroughly investigate this matter, resolutely deal with the perpetrators, and give justice to the heroes of our troops!" In addition, our chief instructed that I must be asked to bring Comrade Deng Liankun back, and our troops will make proper arrangements for Comrade Deng Liankun's life. ”

"This comrade, I'm afraid we can't do this thing. It is like this, Comrade Deng Liankun is now at his old subordinates, and he met two young cadres who rescued Comrade Deng Liankun with violence, one of whom is the section chief of the security section of the Guangming Factory. You can talk to him about it directly. As for the case, we will definitely investigate it thoroughly, you see, we are working overtime overnight to arrest the violent gang! Director Duan said.

The middle-aged army cadre was just about to speak, but Deputy Director Liu pointed to the door and said, "Oh, that comrade is here, Comrade Li Lu, the section chief of the Security Section of the Guangming Factory, and Comrade Deng Liankun were arranged by him." ”

Li Lu came directly from the high mountain, raised his eyes and saw so many leaders here, and there were also people from the troops, he felt strange, and when he saw Deputy Director Liu greeting, he hurriedly walked a few steps over.

"Chief!" Li Lu stood and saluted.

Deputy Director Liu pointed at Li Lu and said to the middle-aged army cadres, "This is Comrade Li Lu." ”

Li Lu saluted the middle-aged army cadres, and the middle-aged army cadres returned the salute and came over and said, "Comrade Li Lu, is Comrade Deng Liankun there with you?" ”

"Yes, chief, what are you?" Li Lu looked at it, not understanding what was happening.

The middle-aged cadre said, "I am Zhang Chuming, director of the Cadre Placement Division of the Political Department of the Military Region, and the military region has learned about Comrade Deng Liankun's situation, and the leaders of the military region attach great importance to it and order us to properly resettle Comrade Deng Liankun. Now I want to invite Deng Liankun back to the military region's guest house for a temporary stay. ”

That's a good thing.

Neither Deputy Director Liu nor Director Duan thought that anyone would disagree, however, they saw Li Lu shake his head and said, "Chief, I understand the kindness of the military region, but in the current situation, Comrade Deng Liankun is not suitable to be put on the side of the military region." Military district guest houses are not a long-term solution. ”

Zhang Chuming didn't expect Li Lu to refuse, he was both surprised and dissatisfied in his heart, and immediately said, "Comrade Li Lu, this is a direct order from the head of the military region. ”

Li Lu was-for-tat, "Comrade Deng Liankun is no longer an active soldier. ”

The implication is that the troops can no longer control Deng Liankun.

At this time, Director Duan smiled and said, "In this way, Director Zhang, you talk, we still have a case over there, and our public security department will definitely handle this case well, and give Comrade Deng Liankun justice, then, I will be out of company first." ”

As he spoke, he gave Deputy Director Liu a look, and the two walked inside.

Li Lu glanced at it, pointed to the courtyard outside, and said, "Chief, please take a step to speak." ”

The two walked to one side and a secluded place, while the other cadres stood on the other side, paying attention to the situation here. They were all surprised, why did Li Lu refuse?

Zhang Chuming said, "Comrade Li Lu, I want to meet Deng Liankun himself and talk directly with him to convey the order of the head of the military region. You can't call the shots for him, even if he turns out to be your mentor. ”

"Director Zhang, I can now represent Comrade Deng Liankun with full powers." Li Lu said in a deep voice, "Excuse me, how much does the military region know about his situation?" The public security department asked the military region to verify Comrade Deng Liankun's situation, and then you know that he was a combat hero who returned from southern Xinjiang and was an honorary title conferred by the political department of the military region. Of course, you can also find out what happened to him during his service at any time. ”

Suddenly, Li Lu's words changed, "But, do you know his current situation?" Do you know what happened to him after he returned to his hometown? ”

Zhang Chuming reprimanded, "Comrade Li Lu, what kind of attitude do you have!" The head of the military region personally expressed his concern and ordered that Comrade Deng Liankun must be invited back to make proper arrangements, and that the combat heroes of the army shed blood for the country and the people, and they should no longer be allowed to shed tears. Let me remind you that the head of the military region is highly concerned about this matter, and since Comrade Deng Liankun is your instructor, you should think about him, do you understand? ”

"Of course I understand, but Comrade Deng Liankun is no longer an active soldier, so you can't control him. I appreciate the kindness of the head of the military district. Li Lu did not budge in the slightest.

Zhang Chuming frowned deeply and said, "Li Lu, you are the head of the security section of the military factory and a cadre of the army, you can't do this consciousness!" ”

"I'm sorry, strictly speaking, Guangming Factory is no longer a military factory, and I am not a cadre of the army, but an employee of a state-owned enterprise, not even an administrative cadre of a state-owned enterprise." Li Lu said hardly.

Zhang Chuming was furious, and he said, "No matter what you say, I have to bring people back, otherwise I can't explain to the head of the military region." ”

"It's your business. People, you can't take them away. Li Lu stared at Zhang Chuming and said, "Director Zhang, I also tell you that I am a combat hero awarded by the headquarters, and I served in the 101st Reconnaissance Company of the Southwest Frontier Regiment before retiring!" ”

"You're from the 101st Reconnaissance Company?" Zhang Chuming was stunned suddenly, and his anger disappeared a lot.

The name of this reconnaissance company is too big.

In the past few years of war, there are two companies that are extremely prestigious in the army. First of all, the hard-core 19th Company of the 164th Division, this company fought all the way to Liangshan, only a dozen people came back alive, and more than 1,000 enemies were annihilated, accounting for more than one-tenth of the total number of enemies destroyed by the 55th Army!

That's just a company!

How many companies are there in the whole army?

What's even more embarrassing is that the hard-headed 19th Company was not replenished, but was directly withdrawn!

You must know that the 164th Division is a third-rate force in the army, and in the eyes of some ace troops, it is the same as a reserve force. However, in the war in southern Xinjiang, it played a wonderful role.

This was the first unit in which Li Lu served, and Zhang Long, Jiang Chengjun and Deng Liankun were several of the dozen or so people who came back alive. It can be said that the dozen or so officers and men who have returned alive will definitely have a very good future as long as they remain in the army. One obvious example is Zhang Long, who is only two years older than Li Lu and is already a battalion commander.

The reason why the relationship between Li Lu and Deng Liankun is special is because when Li Lu was transferred to the Southwest Frontier Regiment, Deng Liankun was also transferred and teamed up with Zhang Pingshan. Deng Liankun was wounded at the same time as Zhang Pingshan while serving in the Southwest Frontier Regiment. And Li Lu's title of combat hero was won as early as the 19th Company of the hard bones.

The other company was the 101st Reconnaissance Company of the Southwest Frontier Regiment, which once penetrated deep into the rear of the enemy in one breath and destroyed the enemy's three heavy artillery positions and killed the enemy's abdomen three in and three out, causing great panic in the enemy's capital! And the most applaudable thing about this is that a team led by Li Lu actually sneaked into the inland river surrounded by more than 10,000 enemy troops as if they were taking a leisurely walk, and replaced people's national flags with five-star red flags!

Maybe Li Lu's retirement has an unclear relationship with this matter.

Therefore, as a cadre of the Political Department of the theater, it is impossible for Zhang Chuming not to be familiar with the legendary 101st Reconnaissance Company of the Southwest Frontier Defense.

Zhang Pingshan, Deng Liankun, and Li Lu are all from the 101st Reconnaissance Company of the Southwest Frontier Regiment, this is Zhang Pingshan's political capital, and it should also be Deng Liankun's political capital, and Deng Liankun's capital is not only the service experience of the 101st Reconnaissance Company, he was originally the platoon commander of the hard-headed 19th Company, and Zhang Long is at the same level!

But Deng Liankun has fallen to this point, what is the reason, this is exactly what Li Lu can't understand!

Zhang Chuming's tone softened a lot, the people of the 101st Company are not simple, they should be respected the highest, especially those who have the ability to be awarded battle heroes - there are few who are alive.

"Comrade Li Lu, I don't understand why you refuse the help of the military region. Comrade Deng Liankun was not only from the 19 th Company, but also served as an instructor of the 101 st Reconnaissance Company, to which the head of the military region attaches great importance. As for Comrade Deng Liankun's current situation, please rest assured that the head of the military region has paid close attention to it, and everything will be fine. Zhang Chuming said.

Li Lu sighed slightly and said, "Director Zhang, I understand the concern of the head of the military region, and if there are other circumstances, I am very willing for the instructor to be helped and taken care of by the troops." But ......"

He shook his head, "There are some problems with the instructor's spirit, I have to treat him, in the army, many things are not easy to do." ”

Zhang Chuming was silent all of a sudden, a deranged combat hero, maybe not what the head of the military region wanted to see. And he had to admit that Li Lu was right, he was not an active soldier, and the medical treatment was very troublesome.

"Director Zhang, I will go to the instructor's hometown later to investigate the relevant situation. Why he ended up like this, I'll definitely find out. If you want to get help from the troops at that time, I hope you can support you. Li Ludao.

Zhang Chuming nodded slowly, sighed helplessly, and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll report it truthfully." The situation at Deng Liankun's family will also be understood by the relevant local departments. ”

Li Lu shook hands with Zhang Chuming and watched them leave.

It was precisely because he was very familiar with the situation of the troops that he resolutely refused the help of the troops. There are many things that the troops do not come forward with, and there are not many restrictions on him being a free man. It's not that he doesn't trust the troops, but he doesn't want to cause trouble for them!
