Chapter 197: Punishment
After burying these more than 10,000 little devils alive, Zhang Dongbei left Huaxian with thousands of people, and not long after they left Huaxian, Mitsui Shou and several other people who had been hiding in the Jiyuan finally came out of the Jiyuan, because the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade did not carry out a thorough search for Huaxian, so they made these six or seven people become the fish that slipped through the net in this clean-up operation, and it is precisely because of these people that some information about Huaxian will be seen in major newspapers and periodicals a few days later. For a time, the focus of the whole of China and even the world was focused on the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade. There is reprimand, there is tolerance, there is reasonableness, there is support. However, among these voices, there are more voices of reprimand than others, and this voice of reprimand has invisibly formed a kind of pressure on China, and in order to set the record straight, the Party Central Committee finally punished Zhang Dongbei and his wolf-tooth special combat brigade after verifying the battle situation in Huaxian County at that time.
Holding the notice sent by the Party Central Committee on the punishment of Zhang Dongbei and the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Brigade, Liu Bocheng glanced at it and said to Deng Xiaoping: "Old Deng, do you see it?" I'm right, I'll just say that the chairman is a person who cherishes talents, so he won't severely punish Zhang Dongbei because of those public opinions in the outside world. Zhang Dongbei and the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade are now a strange army, a powerful force, although they are not many in number, but they are real elite soldiers and strong generals who can make the little devils fearful. ”
Deng Xiaoping smiled and said, "Actually, when I made this bet with you, I knew that I would lose." It seems that the central government also hates the little devils, and wants to get rid of them quickly. Since the invasion of the little devils into China, the central government has always taken the elimination of the living forces of the little devils as the main purpose, and the auxiliary means of deterring the enemy, and although the battle of Zhangdonghua County has brought a lot of negative impacts, it has also played an indelible role in the positive impact. What Zhang Dongbei did this time was something that the central government had always wanted to do but did not dare to do, because they had too many scruples to consider. But now that Zhang Dongbei has invisibly helped them do this, they must be happy in their hearts at this time, and this punishment is just a show made to block the mouths of Youyou. In fact, the whole world knows that it is not us who is wrong, but Xiao Yueben, but now our country has been weak for a long time, even if it is not your fault, it will be your fault in the end, but now Xiao Yueben has suffered setbacks in China, and recently it has been fatally hit by the wolf's tooth special operations brigade, and all of this is to explain a problem to the world, that is, our China is not such a poor and weak country in their eyes, and our people are not the objects of enslavement. All countries in the world now see a China with tenacious vitality, and our country is becoming stronger step by step. Therefore, although there are still many people in the world who have a repatriatory attitude towards this Huaxian massacre, the result they want is not to let us treat Zhang Dongbei as well, but just to see our attitude, so of course the central government will not really punish Zhang Dongbei and his wolf-tooth special combat brigade because of those boring voices. ”
Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "Old Deng, your analysis is good, but this punishment seems to be too light, I am afraid that those ill-intentioned people will attack our Eighth Route Army again because of this." ”
Deng Xiaoping said with a smile: "I think the notice issued by the central government to the outside world and the notice in your hands should not be the same document." ”
Liu Bocheng was stunned for a moment and said: "Old Deng, you mean that the central government will announce more severe punishments to the public. But if this is the case, then it means that the chairman has no intention of punishing Zhang Dongbei at all, so why did the central government send another document to me? ”
Deng Xiaoping smiled and said: "Lao Liu, you are really a revolutionary, and the longer you work for a revolutionary, the more confused your brain becomes." Why can't I even understand this, what Zhang Dongbei did this time is indeed in the hands of those people in the central government, they may have drunk and celebrated in private, but it is undeniable that Zhang Dongbei did not do a beautiful thing this time, and it brought a lot of trouble to our Eighth Route Army, so about Zhang Dongbei's punishment this time, I think the central government means that they want them to remember their surnames for a long time, and if they want to do this kind of happy thing in the future, then they must do it beautifully. Otherwise, the punishment next time, I think, will be much heavier than this one. ”
Liu Bocheng smiled and said, "Old Deng, my brain is really inferior to yours." You said that you have thought of everything, so what are you betting with me, doesn't this make me win? Now, I'll give you back this pen, I didn't win you this bet. But you've got to keep it for me, I'm going to win it next time. ”
Deng Xiaoping took the pen and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for you to win this pen from me next time." ”
Liu Bocheng glanced at the notice again, and said with a smile: "Old Deng, why don't we two go to the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade, since Hua County came back, this kid Zhang Dongbei is bored in his room all day and night and doesn't know what he's doing." ”
Deng Xiaoping said with a smile: "I guess this kid must be engaged in some research and invention again, maybe there will be some new weapons in our 129th Division at that time." ”
Liu Bocheng said with a smile: "Don't say that Zhang Dongbei, this kid is indeed a ghost, he has nothing to say about leading troops to fight, and he can still come up with those strange weapons in his mind all day long, but I have never seen those things." But those things are very powerful. Looking at the combat effectiveness of our 129th Division now, it is definitely no less than the entire group army of the Kuomintang. ”
The two of them talked and laughed all the way to Zhang Dongbei's compound, and after coming back these days, the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade have been observing the faces of the bosses every day, because they all know in their hearts that they will definitely be punished this time, but they have not moved at all after coming back for so many days, and it is precisely because they are too calm that their hearts are not calm. Such a big incident happened in Huaxian, not to mention the headquarters of the 129th Division, even the central government may already know about it. And all the fighters can sit now is to wait for the punishment order from above. All the officers and men of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade have a general idea in their hearts, this punishment must not be borne by the brigade commander alone, and if the central government wants to severely punish and discipline, then it is not good, everyone can only do their best to protect Zhang Dongbei from the Eighth Route Army. Therefore, all the people in the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade did not train every day as before, but got up early in the morning and gathered in Zhang Dongbei's compound, and Zhang Dongbei has been staying in the house since he came back and has not gone out for several days. The usual meals are sent in by Zhao Ruzhi, and every time he sends in the food, he only eats a few bites, and sometimes he doesn't touch it at all. This made the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade even more worried, they thought that Zhang Dongbei was worried about the punishment he was going to receive, and asked Zhao Ruzhi, Zhao Ruzhi told everyone that it was okay, saying that the brigade commander was just doing research in the house, but no one believed it, everyone wanted to rush into the house, but Zhao Ruzhi told them that Zhang Dongbei didn't want anyone to disturb him now, so they only had to be in the yard every day to do a hurry, and every day after coming to the yard, they would routinely ask, how is the brigade commander today, And each time I got the answer that the brigade commander was fine.
Until today, it was the seventh day, and the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade were worried about Zhang Dongbei in the courtyard, when they suddenly saw Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping coming to the courtyard together, and the sharp-eyed soldiers saw the telegram in Liu Bocheng's hand at a glance, and they knew that what they were worried about was finally coming today.
"What are you all doing here, what about your brigade commander?" Liu Bocheng asked the soldiers.
Fang Zhenyu said: "Report to the chief, our brigade commander is doing research in the house, and I haven't seen him come out for several days." ”
Liu Bocheng nodded and said to Deng Xiaoping: "We really guessed correctly, this kid really locked himself in the room to do his research." Let's go inside. ”
The two were about to walk towards the house, when Fang Zhenyu suddenly stopped in front of them and said, "Chief, are you here this time to announce the punishment of our brigade commander?" ”
Liu Bocheng smiled: "Hey, you kid is very smart, and you guessed it." ”
Fang Zhenyu said: "Chief, in fact, we can't blame our brigade commander for what happened in Huaxian this time, it's just that the little devil is too hateful, so the brigade commander will have such a decision." And chief, these Sichuan army brothers who came back with us this time and those [***] brothers can testify to how bad the situation in Teng County was at that time, after experiencing something like that, no one will keep a cool head, so chief, I ask you not to punish our brigade commander, if it can't be changed, then all the soldiers of our wolf's tooth special operations brigade are willing to be punished with our brigade commander. I only hope that the above will reduce the punishment of our brigade commander. As soon as Fang Zhenyu's words fell, the soldiers of the Wolf Tooth Special Operations Brigade who gathered together in the courtyard all shouted in unison: "We are willing to be punished together with the brigade commander." ”
Liu Bocheng nodded and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's a group of good soldiers." Don't worry, none of you in the Wolf Tooth Special Combat Brigade will be punished this time, and all of them will have a share. ”
When everyone heard this, their expressions were dark, and sure enough, they were extremely angry at this incident, and it seemed that this time there was a lot of bad luck, and they had no choice but to protect the brigade commander and leave the 129th Division safely. Everyone has a general idea in their hearts, they have already discussed, if they don't give them any chance, then there is only one way left to break away from the Eighth Route Army, although Zhang Dongbei once warned them not to betray [***], but the current situation is also * uncontrollable, and leaving the Eighth Route Army does not mean betraying the Eighth Route Army, as long as they are not enemies of the Eighth Route Army.
Everyone was thinking wildly in their hearts, and the door that had been closed squeaked open at this time, and Zhang Dongbei, who looked a little sang, walked out of the house, and shouted directly into the courtyard as soon as he went out: "What are you doing, making noise in my yard is very calm." ”
Liu Bocheng smiled in the crowd: "Northeast, stuff yourself in the house for a few days, and you will be so angry as soon as you come out." ”
Zhang Dongbei fixed his eyes and saw that it was Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping, so he immediately restrained himself, straightened up and saluted the two of them and said, "Hello two bosses, I didn't think you were here, I don't know what the two bosses are looking for me?" ”
Liu Bocheng smiled and said: "Zhang Dongbei, you kid, these soldiers under your command know what we are here for, but you don't know anything, I think you don't take the affairs of Huaxian to heart at all." ”
Zhang Dongbei was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized, and said: "It turned out to be for that matter, it seems that the notice above has come down?" Boss, let's say, what is the punishment for me? ”
Deng Xiaoping smiled: "Lao Liu, do you see it, this kid doesn't seem to take this punishment to heart at all." ”
Liu Bocheng nodded and said: "That is, when other soldiers are punished, they all pull their heads up, but this kid holds his head high, looking righteous and awe-inspiring." Zhang Dongbei, do you think that being punished is a very honorable thing, so justifiable. ”
Zhang Dongbei thought that this punishment would definitely not be light, he would be punished heavily anyway, and he was doing something like a little daughter-in-law, so he straightened his chest and said: "Report to the boss, I am a soldier, so even if I am punished, I must straighten my chest and be punished." And I'm going to keep going, even if it's going to die. ”
Liu Bocheng frowned and said with a smile: "Hey, Zhang Dongbei, I said that you kid is quite tough." Okay, then you can hold on to me, I'll see how long you can last. The people of the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade have all listened to me, because the Wolf's Tooth Special Combat Brigade slaughtered the captives of the surrendered army on the battlefield of Huaxian County during the defense of Teng County, which caused extremely serious consequences, and the Party Central Committee had to make the following punishments to set an example, the cadres and officers at all levels of the Wolf's Tooth Special Combat Brigade were demoted by three levels, and the Wolf's Tooth Special Operations Brigade was directly demoted to the Wolf's Tooth Special Combat Team. ”
Feed the horses?
The people in the whole courtyard were stupid, they thought that this time the matter of Huaxian County was so big, and Zhang Dongbei would definitely be severely punished above, and they would lose their heads if they didn't do it, but they didn't expect that in the end, it would just depreciate to Bi Ma Wen. While taking a long breath, everyone was also depressed in their hearts, it seemed that there was no hope of killing the devil himself during this time, but this feeding of the horse was also a little too much, and thousands of people in the dignified wolf's tooth special combat brigade actually went to feed the horse, if this reached the ears of the little devil, wouldn't it make them happy and couldn't find the edge.
Zhang Dongbei looked bitter, although at this moment he also thought that this punishment was light enough, but he also saw one thing from the punishment notice issued by the central government, that is, he did the right thing in this matter, in line with the above intentions, and the above punishment for himself was just a formality, thinking about this, Zhang Dongbei said confidently: "Boss, is the punishment for feeding horses too heavy?" Do you think you can make it lighter? For example, after thinking about it behind closed doors, what will happen to kill more little devils in the future and make up for it? ”
Liu Bocheng raised his eyebrows and said: "You kid is still bargaining here, I can tell you that your trouble this time is not small, and it is already very gracious to you to give such an order, and you kid is not satisfied." If you kid don't want to feed the horses in the future, then learn to be smart next time, it's okay to kill the little devil, but if you want to kill it, others can't find the handle, you say that you are so flamboyant to bury those prisoners alive, isn't that typical to make trouble for the central government? Since you have caused a blow to the central government, then the central government has settled it for you, of course, you have to suffer a little before you can do it. ”
Zhang Dongbei said with a smile: "So the central government supports our behavior of killing all the little devils?" I'll just say, long live the chairman, [***] long live. ”
Liu Bocheng scolded with a smile: "Zhang Dongbei, take care of your kid's broken mouth, what are you calling blindly." Remember, go to the stable from tomorrow to feed the horses, and keep it upright, that's what you kid said. ”
Zhang Dongbei jumped up and said, "Boss, no." Aren't you kidding me? ”
"Playing with your hammer, it's all your own words, if you want to survive until death, you deserve your own bad luck." Liu Bocheng learned from Zhang Dongbei's words and scolded with a smile.
