Chapter 19: Rumor Spreaders
Hu Fei didn't report to anyone to say hello before the Einsatzgruppen team set off, and by the time Zheng Runcheng knew, the Einsatzgruppen had already gone to the camp. For a period of time, the patrol mission rangers have been the main force every night. With the lack of cavalry from the Einsatzgruppen tonight, Zheng Runcheng is afraid that he will have to add a lot of people to make up for this gap.
Liu Kuaileg was on duty yesterday, this kid is off tonight, let's send him over to fill the hole in the Einsatzgruppen!
Zheng Runcheng sent a herald to invite Liu Wankui, and he wandered around the barracks near the headquarters when he was idle.
Zheng Runcheng has a habit of wandering around the barracks whenever he has time, so that he can exercise his body and shorten the distance between officers and soldiers through guò. Sitting high in the command headquarters, who dares to come to him to report problems?
In this way, small problems can often be discovered by accident. By solving these inconspicuous problems in a timely manner, Brigade Commander Zheng not only greatly increased his popularity index, but he also gained great spiritual satisfaction because he helped others and purified his soul.
Just like the day before yesterday, a company commander beating a soldier was discovered by him while he was walking around. At that time, I rescued the beaten soldiers in the past, and learned that the company commander would whip the soldiers almost every two or three days for fun, this guy belongs to the kind of person who advocates violent psychopaths. Zheng Runcheng announced at the scene that he would push the company commander to the end! The company commander chose another capable person to take over.
That night's actions earned Mr. Jung a round of applause. This is the first time that Commander-in-Chief Zheng has been consciously applauded and praised by the masses, and Zheng Runcheng was so excited that he didn't sleep in the middle of the night.
It's the same today, he has nothing else to do except make an appointment with Liu Kuaileg. And according to the usual practice, Liu Kuai's legs will come at least an hour later, so use this hour to walk around and see what else can happen. Just pay attention, things are everywhere. Zheng Yuncheng plans to find another thing to manage. Applause or not, he plans to earn himself another round of mass support.
As soon as he walked to the gate of the headquarters, Zheng Runcheng found that a few soldiers had gathered in a group and were muttering something, and they seemed to be quite excited.
"Humph! We soldiers are starving and sinful when we live, and we have to cut our flesh when we die...... They're bastards! Those who are in office are still people, aren't they? ”
"They're not human, they're just a bunch of man-eating beasts! Damn, why haven't I seen an official be ...... after he died?"
Although the voice was not loud, the intermittent Zheng Runcheng also understood the general meaning. Before he finished speaking, Brigade Commander Zheng shivered a few times, and he actually felt that his vest was a little damp on a cold day, which scared him out of a cold sweat! There are officers eating corpses? My stomach was churning upward, and I opened my mouth to vomit but couldn't vomit anything. The bowl of porridge he drank at night had already been digested, and there was nothing in his stomach, what did he vomit?
Zheng Runcheng didn't dare to go forward, waved his hand and called the guards, "Pass my order, transfer a platoon from the brigade headquarters guard company, and arrest those gossiping first!" "This kind of gossip can't be passed on, and if it is passed on, it will break the morale of the army! It's also a sin to spread rumors! Zheng Yuncheng had to find the source of the rumors from the soldiers who spread the rumors!
After instructing the guards, Zheng Runcheng didn't wait for the result here, turned around and walked back! The guard platoon captured a few small soldiers, and he didn't need to watch the enemy here.
After returning to the headquarters, I washed my face and drank a cup of hot tea. The four soldiers who had spread the rumors had been recaptured. Zheng Runcheng instructed the guard platoon commander to interrogate them in detail, and he must ask where they heard this rumor!
At this time, Liu Kuaileg came, both of them were brigade commanders, Zheng Runcheng didn't dare to slack off and hurriedly invited people into his military tent. Seeing that the greetings were over, the two sat down separately. They are all soldiers, and Zheng Runcheng doesn't plan to go around in circles, so he told Liu Kuaileg bluntly: The Einsatzgruppen went out on business, and the patrol task in the second half of the night will be handed over to you Liu Kuaileg is in charge!
Liu Kuaileg was stunned, and quickly nodded in agreement. He was leaving, but Zheng Runcheng left him for tea. I can't afford to eat, he still has a few packs of tea here, please drink a cup of hot tea to warm up.
Liu Kuaijiao is born with a beard, where does he know how to drink tea? However, in the current situation that everyone is short of food, he has not eaten enough for dinner! Although the tea is not as good as gruel, it tastes good, and Liu Kuaileg stayed with the guest and waited to taste the fragrant tea of Chief Zheng.
The two of them were drinking tea when the guard platoon commander came in from outside. Seeing Liu Kuaileg sitting, the guard platoon commander showed a hesitant expression, obviously what he was going to say was not suitable for Liu Kuaileg to hear.
Zheng Runcheng looked at Liu Kuai's legs and then at the guard platoon commander with a difficult face, and waved his hand aggressively, "Brigade Commander Liu is not an outsider, you can say it to your face!" ”
"Yes!" What else did he have to worry about when the chief spoke? The guard platoon commander saluted the two commanders present and truthfully reported the results of his interrogation just now, "That kid confessed just now, and one of them heard the news from Brigade Commander Liu's soldiers. It is said that the incident happened in Brigade Commander Liu's troops. ”
The voice of the guard platoon commander's report was not loud, but it was louder than thunder in Zheng Runcheng's ears! Brigade Commander Zheng stood up with a pout, and took several steps diagonally inward to keep a safe distance from Liu's fast legs. The way he looked at Liu Kuai's legs again was no different from seeing a bear.
Looking at a big living person with the eyes of a bear is terrifying? Liu Kuai's legs felt that the hairs on his body stood on end, and he couldn't sit still and stand up. "Commander-in-Chief Zheng, what do you mean by that?" You called me over and just looked at me like this, what did I want to do? Are you trying to assassinate me? At the same time as the question, Liu's fast leg hand was on the holster in his waist.
Liu Kuai's legs are like a holster, what is the guard platoon commander standing next to him doing? This guy pulled out his gun in one fell swoop! Dare to touch the gun in the commander-in-chief's tent, don't you want to live? The guard platoon commander was still afraid that he would not be safe alone, so he said hello and rushed in from the door "Hula", and more than a dozen heavily armed guards rushed in, and more than a dozen guns pointed at Liu Kuai's legs!
Liu Kuaileg wanted to pull out the gun, but he didn't dare after trying a few times! In the end, I had to sigh and raise my hand above my head, "Okay, Commander Zheng, I admit it!" If you want to kill, you have to listen to it. But before I die, I want to know why, why are you doing this to me? I don't know what I can't do with you Commander Zheng, and I don't know what I can't do with our volunteers! ”
"Brigade Commander Liu, you don't have a place where you can't live with me Zheng. I, Zheng Runcheng, will not frame the main generals of the Volunteer Army for a little personal vendetta! The expression on Zheng Runcheng's face was very strict, which made Liu Kuaijiao feel a hint of business.
"When I was patrolling the camp just now, I noticed that a few soldiers were getting together to discuss something, saying that an officer was stealing corpses! I arrested them for interrogation, and Platoon Commander Zhang came to report this incident just now. I didn't believe this kind of rumor, but you also heard Platoon Commander Zhang's words just now, and those soldiers confessed that they heard it from Brigade Commander Liu, and said that these things happened in your Liu Wankui's troops! ”
"Brigade Commander Liu, how should you explain this?"
