Section XII

Li Ling said: "We agree with Comrade Jiansheng's opinion. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

Chen Lanwei said clearly: "Comrade Li Ling, you agree with Bai Jiansheng's opinion, are you a little assertive?" Head Wang is your husband, right? We haven't seen you listen to him? Is his words that good? Really! ”

When Li Ling heard this, this Chen Lanwei was "sick" again, and retorted: "What's wrong? What's wrong with us? Let's admit that under certain circumstances, we won't listen to Wang Shusheng's words, but when it comes to fighting, Comrade Bai Jiansheng and Comrade Wang Shusheng are both veteran comrades with rich combat experience, how many times have they fought? How much blood has been shed? You don't know, do you? Comrade Jiansheng's opinion is reasonable, why don't we listen? ”

"What's the point? We think we're messing around and wasting precious time! ”

"What's the truth? Okay, didn't you say that we only know how to agree with Jiansheng's opinion? Let's give you a reason, Guo Lian, a big bandit, is he fifty years old? The comrades nodded, "Has he been chased by us all the time, is he unable to run, and has to be carried by the guards along the way?" The comrades nodded, "Has he been hungry for a few days?" Even if he wasn't in the mountains, was he hungry? The comrades nodded, "Is Guo Lian an immortal?" He had never been to the old mountain, and he was not familiar with the terrain here, so he could fly out of this mountain at once? Since Guo Lian is an old, disabled, hungry, and blind person, where else can he run? ”

The comrades responded with warm applause and expressed their agreement with Bai Jiansheng's opinion, the reason is obvious, who else can come up with a better proposal?

Chen Lanwei was still unwilling: "Don't think that Comrade Bai Jiansheng has fought a war, we also have rich combat experience, we don't care what reason you have, our opinion is that if you are given another day, if you don't find any movement, you must move to other places to search." ”

Bai Jiansheng finally said: "Okay, let's do this first, if we still don't find the situation, let's ask our superiors and then make a decision." ”

The meeting broke up unhappily, but Bai Jiansheng's decision to continue to search in place was maintained.

However, on the night of the meeting, an incident occurred, which aroused Bai Jiansheng's great attention and strengthened Guo Lian's belief on the neem mountain. What the hell is going on? It turned out that that night, when Chen Lanwei took Zheng Lei, Li Shiyan, Yumei, Jiang Shanxiu and other comrades on patrol, when she passed near the only cottage at the foot of the mountain, Kanbei Old Village, she found that there was a figure shaking at the foot of the mountain, and Chen Lanwei chased after her with the patrol.

The man was very panicked, and took advantage of the night to flee desperately to the mountain. Chen Lanwei quickly pointed the pistol at the man, and the submachine guns of the other comrades were also aimed at the front, if he fired at this time, this person would definitely be beaten into a hornet's nest.

However, at the critical moment, Chen Lanwei gave an order not to shoot, and the man quickly disappeared into the night and hid in the vast mountains.

Why not shoot? Missing the opportunity to seize the enemy, the people participating in the patrol were puzzled and questioned, and Chen Lanwei's explanation was: "The people's army loves the people. This place is so close to the cottage, we can't conclude that this person is a bandit, what if it is Yaomin? It's not okay to kill the wrong person, I'd rather miss this opportunity! ”

The comrades asked: "Since he is Yaomin, why did he run up the mountain when he saw us?"

Chen Lanwei replied: "You can't be sure that person is a bandit, and naturally that person can't see clearly that we are a bandit army, where do you run when that person is nervous?" Where is the safest and most convenient to get out, you will naturally run there! ”

The comrades were really not sure that it was Guo Lian, and they couldn't come up with evidence to refute her, so they had to give up on this matter.

However, after Bai Jiansheng knew about this, he didn't treat it as a trivial matter. He vaguely felt that they were not far from capturing Guo Lian, because the enemy finally couldn't bear it anymore and began to make a final fight. From the mouth of the team members, this is also confirmed, although everyone sees a vague figure, but judging from the scene of wearing a coat, there is no doubt about it, which is very similar to Guo Lian's outfit.

However, frightened by this, there was no movement on the mountain, and the day passed quickly, according to the previous meeting, the Flying Tigers could only report to their superiors that they had not found Guo Lian's whereabouts, and asked their superiors for instructions. The reply from the superiors was very simple, just a few words: the original plan cannot be changed, the pocket cannot be loosened, the search cannot be stopped, the patrol cannot be broken, the squatting cannot be wasted, the fighting spirit cannot be reduced, and whoever persists to the end will have the last laugh!

It seems that the superior leaders are also convinced: follow the right direction, stick to it, and there will be gains! This gave great confidence and encouragement to the troops who participated in the encirclement and suppression of Guo Lian.

On the third day of discovering the suspected figure of Guo Lian, it finally ushered in the dawn. On this day, the weather is very good, the weather is very cool in the morning, but at noon it is sunny, the spring flowers are blooming, the air is very fresh, and the sight is clear everywhere. The fighters of the first company and the Flying Tigers opened a large net as usual, searching, patrolling......

When the smoke curls up again, the sweet smell of the food in the stockade and the bandit suppression troops has already filled the fields, mountains and forests with the smoke of cooking, attracting bursts of birds and quarreling birds.

Guo Lian's hunger had reached the extreme, and he could no longer resist the smell of a little food. You don't know how he's spent the last few days? It doesn't matter if my stomach is confused, I finally touched the mountain, planning to steal some clothes in the village to keep out the cold, get something to fill my stomach, even a little bit, but I was bumped into by Chen Lanwei's patrol, if it weren't for Chen Lanwei's mercy and the night as a cover, Guo Lian would have died in Huangquan at this time.

Guo Lian also thought about not running and going down the mountain to surrender, but he was unwilling! What about surrender? Isn't it a death in the end? The crime is so heinous, will the Communist Party let him go? Will the common people let him go?

Guo Lian thought, to die worthy of his "heroic name" in his life, like a man? Like a warrior? Like a soldier of the Dang Country? He wants to grit his teeth and persevere! As a result, in the end, the whole body was weak, the eyes were dizzy, and the hunger was exhausted, and it was the temptation of food and the desire to survive that overcame him.

Guo Lian can't care so much, even if he dies, he doesn't want to be a hungry ghost, but also a full ghost. He decided to risk his life to steal the sweet potatoes planted by Yao Min in the field, and while the People's Liberation Army was eating, maybe he could succeed? He quietly went into the sweet potato field on the side of the road, dug out a few sweet potatoes with his hands and branches, rubbed the soil on the sweet potatoes with both hands, rubbed them on his coat, put them in his mouth and chewed them heavily.

It's better to say that it's a chew than a gobbling, the cold sweet potato still has a little mud and sand, chewing and smacking in the mouth, and the dry throat makes Guo Lian burst into tears, and he coughed uncontrollably a few times. Guo Lian completely ignored it, and the appearance of being hungry in it had already been seen by a patrol team in the third platoon of the third company.

The patrol did not alarm Guo Lian, but stood quietly behind him......

Guo Lian was finally full, he was not reconciled, and continued to shave a few sweet potatoes, wrapped them in his coat, and planned to take them back to the mountain to enjoy them slowly, however, when he got up from the ground and turned to leave, a voice seemed to make him hear the call of death.

"This brother! I've eaten what I should eat, I've taken what I should have taken, where are you going? We've been here for a long time! ”

Of course, Guo Lian doesn't need to look up, he already knows what he has encountered? As soon as his hand was released, the sweet potato in his arms was scattered all over the ground, his feet were weak, and he fell to the ground all of a sudden, pulling his head, like a living dead, and he completely collapsed.

"Mangmang Yao Mountain, lofty mountains, meeting is a kind of fate, don't you plan to introduce yourself?" The platoon leader said sarcastically.
