Chapter Twenty-Six: Cover the Lid
Murati is missing? Director Chen was dumbfounded when he heard this.
"What are you two eating? Let you look at people, and you actually lose people? Dereliction of duty, huh! You are dereliction of duty, you are committing a crime! Wait for court-martial! After being stunned for a moment, Director Chen was furious!
"We didn't, we didn't neglect our duties!" The two guards were frightened by this, and their hair stood on end, and one of them was bold enough to defend them. If they are convicted of dereliction of duty, maybe their lives will be gone, can the two of them not be afraid?
"Dare you say that you are not negligent in your duties? The man was not seen in the middle of the night last night, and you said, what were you two doing last night? ”
"At night? Of course we were sleeping at night. However, the two of us slept next to the confinement room, and we didn't hear any movement in the middle of the night. When he got up at dawn in the morning, he saw that Murat was gone. ”
"Sleep, sleep, who made you sleep? Why don't you watch it 24 hours a day? Let you guard the confinement room, and you two actually go to sleep? What do you have to quibble about? Now I'm going to take you to the interrogation room! ”
"Director Chen!" Seeing Director Chen's face, these two people were really anxious, and the articulate man quickly stretched out his hand to stop the field section chief who was about to go out, "You just brought that battalion commander Cheng to visit the confinement room yesterday, and the person disappeared that night." We suspect that Murat's disappearance is related to Camp Commander Cheng who came yesterday, maybe he rescued him! ”
"You, you ......" Director Chen suddenly stammered. After being stunned for a moment, Director Chen took a deep breath, he had to stay calm at this point.
Now that the two guys in front of him have made everything clear, they are ready to rely on him, and the first thing he has to do now is to find a way to stabilize these two people first. "Well, it's understandable that you both have this suspicion. Well, let's go to the scene and have a look. ”
After saying it for so long, I remembered to go to the scene, which shows how much shock this incident caused to Director Chen's psychology. The three of them hurried to the confinement room, where the copper padlock hung untouched on the door. Looking through the window, there was only a bare bed left in the room, and Murati, who had been sitting on the bed yesterday, was gone.
Open the padlock and go into the room to check one by one, behind the door, under the bed, on the roof, everywhere, no one! There is only one bed in the confinement room, where can one hide? Come in and take a look, it's just a clean heart.
After checking the room, I came out and looked at the door, and the wooden door was intact, and the padlock did not have the slightest trace of being pried. The two guards said that the padlock was locked on the door when they came to see it in the morning, and if they hadn't accidentally seen no one inside through the window, they probably wouldn't have known they had run away!
The reconnaissance company commander of the 88th Column knows how to shrink bones? Piercing the wall? Or is there a master who first stunned the sleeping guard with incense, and then silently unlocked the door of the confinement room, released the person, and then locked the door as it was? At this time, Director Chen was so confused, he didn't have the heart to figure out what the reason was, in short, the person was gone!
"You two, from now on, you will be guarding the door of the confinement every day, and no one will be allowed to approach the door of the confinement chamber. This matter must be kept secret first, and I will try my best to find a solution. ”
The solution? What's the solution? Thirty-six plans to go up! Director Chen was a little hesitant at first, but now he has already decided, today he will go through the transfer procedures and be transferred to the 12th Division!
Regardless of whether the commander of the inch division and the battalion commander Cheng can take care of themselves, anyway, the farther away from the military justice department, the better! The Twelfth Division is fighting with devils, even if Commander Tang knows about it after a while, he can't send someone to capture him from the front line because of this, right?
As for the danger of going to the 12th Division, Director Chen couldn't care about it. Even if you die on the battlefield, it is better than being sent to a military court and sentenced! Soldiers in this era generally regard face as more important than life, and Director Chen is no exception.
After Director Chen's cover-up behavior, Murati's disappearance was temporarily shelved.
After Hu Fei withdrew from the battlefield, he led the people all the way to the mountains east of Wenxi County. The old devil Anda 23rd led the 37th Division of the Japanese Army to attack Wenxi County, where our Third Army was located, and the commander of Tang Huaiyuan's command post was facing the enemy head-on, and had a-for-tat bloody battle with the invading Japanese invaders!
The soldiers of the Third Army were brave and needless, and fought bloody battles against the Japanese invaders. However, the devils had advanced guns and planes to help them fight, and while the vast number of officers and men of our army withstood the frantic attack of the Japanese invaders with rudimentary weapons, countless soldiers and men shed their blood on the battlefield and died under the planes and artillery of the Japanese invaders.
The 88th Column sought an opportunity to attack in the mountainous areas and harassed the Japanese invaders, doing everything possible to delay the attack speed of the Japanese invaders and reduce the intensity of the Japanese invaders' attacks. In this way, in fact, it became the 88th Column cooperating with the Third Army to fight against the Japanese invaders. The two armies became essentially allies.
Since it is a friendly army, it should be normal for generals to negotiate and cooperate with each other in combat matters, and it is abnormal if there is no communication.
On the first day, a deputy chief of staff of the Third Army came to talk about the coordination of the operation. Hu Fei sent Liu Dong, chief of staff of the 88th Column, out to receive him. You have a deputy chief of staff, and I will send the chief of staff to receive you to give you face, right?
The deputy chief of staff of the Third Army also came to make contact in the early stage to see what kind of unit the 88th Column was supporting. As for discussing the details of the coordinated operations of the two armies, it is of course best to be able to discuss a few items, and it is nothing if they cannot be decided. Liu Dong is also not the one who makes the final decision in the 88th Column, so the result of the meeting between the two people is obvious.
The meeting was very warm, the conversation was harmonious, and there were many topics, but in the end, there was only one thing: there was something important to greet each other. Even if there is no high-level meeting between the two sides, the two national army units on the same battlefield will not greet each other if there is a major event? Therefore, this meeting became the most meaningless meeting in the history of the 88th Column.
Commander Tang Huaiyuan was obviously not satisfied with such an innocuous exchange, and the day after the deputy chief of staff returned, the chief of staff of the Third Army came to the door with a large group of servants. It is a pity that this time Hu Fei went to the front line, and the person in charge of receiving it was Liu Dong, chief of staff of the 88th Column.
In order to show the importance attached to this high-level meeting, Chief of Staff Liu was accompanied by President Zhang Zhonglin of the Column Hospital, Director Xu Yajun of the Confidential Department, and Regiment Commander Xiong Wei of the Baggage Regiment.
