Liu Tianshu couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, and walked in and asked, "Comrade Li Shu, what the hell is going on?" ”

"Captain, you said that who has the audacity to torture and kill a prisoner, this is a serious violation of discipline, you must find out about it." Li Shu said with an annoyed expression.

Yesterday, the captain took Shi Qiang and Hao Mengxuan in the mountains and forests to mend the knives for the surviving captives, and he was very angry in his heart. You know, in the ranks of the Red Army, the killing of prisoners was an extremely serious disciplinary offense, and it was punishable severely. Our party's policy has always been to lay down arms and surrender guns without killing.

Shi Qiang, who followed in after hearing the sound, saw Li Shu's angry eyes, as if he was going to eat people, and immediately took a step back, shook his hand again and again and said, "I didn't do this, I don't know, I was with the captain last night." ”

"It's not me, I've never been in this room at all." Hao Mengxuan also said on the side.

Hearing both of them say that he didn't do this, Liu Tianshu breathed a sigh of relief.

He has never had a good impression of Japanese devils, even if he is injured and has no weapons, in his eyes, he is still a devil and a robber. However, since he joined the Communist guerrillas, he had to abide by the guerrilla discipline.

Although some discipline, in his opinion, is not necessarily reasonable.

"Well, since Comrade Li Shu insists on investigating this matter thoroughly, let's gather a team to investigate. Comrade Li Shu, this matter is entrusted to you and Comrade Siyuan. Hao Mengxuan, assemble the team. Liu Tianshu waved his hand and directly asked Hao Mengxuan to gather the team.

The fourth squad of the Shiquan anti-Japanese guerrillas had only fourteen people in total, and it was not long after. They all lined up in the courtyard of the ruined temple.

Liu Tianshu's eyes swept over the faces of the players in front of him one by one, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that the eyes of these team members were calm. He walked slowly to the front. Turning his head, he looked at these team members and said: "Comrades, last night there was an extremely serious incident of violation of discipline in our broken temple, and a devil captive that we had finally caught was actually killed, and the impact of this incident was extremely serious. I will hand over this matter to Comrade Li Shu and Comrade Si Yuan to be responsible for handling, and I hope that comrades who have made mistakes will take the initiative to admit their mistakes to Comrade Li Shu and Comrade Si Yuan. ”

Although joining the team for a short time. But Liu Tianshu was still accustomed to being called in the army, and he was called comrade to these subordinates.

His words were always concise, after he had finished speaking. He left the group and walked back to his lodgings.

As soon as he sat down on a stool, the merchant and he pushed the door in.

"Second Brother Shang is here, sit down." Liu Tianshu didn't expect to borrow the merchant who lived in the ruined temple and. Will come in at this time. Hurriedly got up to give up his seat, and at the same time took out the seized tea cup, poured a cup of warm boiled water for the merchant and put it on the table.

Shang He quietly watched Liu Tianshu's movements, and when Liu Tianshu sat down and looked at him, he said slowly: "Captain Liu, I heard from my brothers just now that you are investigating the killing of the wounded soldiers of the devils, so don't investigate this matter again." I did it. ”

Hearing this, Liu Tianshu's movements stopped. After a while, he raised his head, looked at the merchant and said in a calm tone, "Tell me the reason." ”

"Revenge, revenge for my eldest brother, these damn devils, killed my eldest brother, and so many brothers, this revenge I can't swallow anyway. I did it, it has nothing to do with my brothers, and I will never frown if I want to kill or rip off my business. "There is incomparable firmness in the business and in the eyes.

"That's right." Liu Tianshu nodded.

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Second Brother Shang, let one of your brothers go and tell Comrade Li Shu to say it, just say what I said, and ask him to stop the investigation immediately." ”

When Shang He heard Liu Tianshu's words, he knew that he still had something to say to himself, so he nodded immediately, turned his head and shouted Jia Wei.

A sturdy offspring ran in.

"You are Brother Jiawei, in this way, you go over and talk to Comrade Li Shu, just say what I said, the devil was killed, let him not investigate, and order the team to disband."

After listening to Liu Tianshu's words, Shang Wei nodded, turned around and ran out.

"Second Brother Shang, a devil is just a wounded soldier, kill it, it's not a big deal, this matter is over, I will deal with it, by the way, I don't know what your next plan is." Liu Tianshu said in a slow tone.

Seeing that Liu Tianshu was not ready to investigate the matter of killing the devil's wounded soldiers, the merchant and the unprovoked breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing Liu Tianshu's inquiry, his expression immediately fell, and after a while, as if he had made a decision, he looked at Liu Tianshu and said expectantly: "Captain Liu, I can see that you are a capable person, and although you guerrillas are few, you are unambiguous in fighting devils, I want to join your team and fight devils with you, I wonder if Captain Liu can accept me?" ”

Although the merchants had no contact with the Communist Party, the guerrillas led by Tang Qing had also been to Qingyan Town in the past, so he still had some understanding of the Communist Party's idea of fighting the world for the poor.

Most of the people who knew about the guerrillas were poor people, and the merchants and the people who were in the merchant fort were still from very good families. He was worried that Liu Tianshu was unwilling to take him in.

"Hehe, all Chinese who really fight devils, we are very welcome. Second Brother Shang, but there is a situation I want to make clear first, our anti-Japanese guerrillas have difficult conditions and strict discipline, so I am afraid that Second Brother Shang will not be able to endure the hardships of our team. Liu Tianshu smiled and said.

"Captain Liu, I heard Second Brother Hao say last night, you are a college student in Beiping, and the conditions at home are better than mine, you can endure the hardships of the army, I believe I will be able to do it. Captain Liu, I'm willing to follow you to fight devils. The merchant looked at Liu Tianshu with admiration.

Seeing the businessman and his resolute attitude, Liu Tianshu stood up, stretched out his hand, shook hands with the excited businessman and said: "Second brother Shang, welcome you to join our team, we will be comrades and brothers in the future, everyone will share the blessings and difficulties, and have a good fight with the devil." ”

"Okay, share the blessings, share the difficulties, and fight the devil." The merchant and the eyes shone brightly.

Li Shu was very depressed when he learned that it was the merchant who entered the room where the devil's wounded soldier was held last night and quietly killed the devil's wounded soldier. However, the merchant was a friendly army, not a guerrilla force of the Eighth Route Army, and he could not use the discipline of the Eighth Route Army to deal with him except for condemnation.

However, later, when he heard Liu Tianshu say that the merchants asked to join the guerrillas, he immediately stood up and objected, saying that judging from the fact that the merchants and the merchants ignored the discipline of the Eighth Route Army and killed the devils and wounded soldiers without authorization, he would not abide by the discipline of the Eighth Route Army at all, and such people joining our team would bring instability to our team.

Liu Tianshu sat at the table, quietly watching Li Shu speak excitedly, and after he finally finished speaking, his eyes swept to the rest of the team members, Shi Qiang and Hao Mengxuan naturally did not express their position, anyway, Liu Tianshu's opinion was their opinion.

Liu Siyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Captain Liu, I personally think that we should agree to the request of the merchant and join our team, didn't the organization say that we want to unite all the forces that can be united to fight the enemy together?" Merchants and those who have a strong determination to resist Japan belong to the forces that can be united. ”

"Comrade Liu Siyuan, the party's policy is to unite all forces that can be united, and it is only about unity, not that anyone can enter our ranks." Li Shu immediately objected.

Liu Tianshu didn't expect that Li Shu, a person who hadn't read the book for a few days, would learn to drill words, and he couldn't help but be happy, but his face was very calm, and after the two stopped talking, he said with a serious look: "Comrade Li Shu, Comrade Liu Siyuan, your two opinions are very reasonable." I have decided on this matter, and I agree to the request of the merchant and all those who are willing to join our team, we will welcome them. At the same time, I would like to emphasize that as long as they join our ranks, they are our comrades, our brothers and sisters, and we must be sincerely united, and there must be no discrimination or prejudice against them. Meeting. ”

Seeing Liu Tianshu's tough decision to let the merchant and his people join the fourth team, Li Shu was immediately disgusted.

You're the captain, and now that you've decided to agree to let him join in, why are you pretending to ask for someone's opinion?

Subsequently, the eleven people who volunteered to follow him to join the fourth squad were organized by Liu Tianshu into the second squad of the fourth squad, with the squad leader Shang He and the deputy squad leader Shang Wei.

At the same time, the original fourth squad was organized into a squad of the fourth squad, with squad leader Li Shu and deputy squad leader Shi Qiang.

As for Liu Siyuan, Geng Tianlong, and Pang Ning, they were organized into the Fourth Squad Political Propaganda Group. Team leader Liu Siyuan.

Just when Liu Tianshu and others were busy with the simple organization of the troops, Pang Ning, who went to report to the team headquarters, came back, and at the same time, he brought back Tang Qing's letter.

Looking at the letter in his hand, Liu Tianshu's face became more and more solemn, and the merchants who were sitting on the side, Li Shu, and Liu Siyuan looked at Liu Tianshu nervously.

After a long while, Liu Tianshu finished reading the letter.

"Captain, what do they say, instructor?" Liu Siyuan hurriedly asked.

Liu Tianshu adjusted his mood for a moment, and then said: "The instructor said in the letter that the Jin Sui army has abandoned Huyangkou, and Jiang Jiawu's troops have also withdrawn from Wuyang County. At present, the county seat is guarded by the Wuyang County Security Corps, which has withdrawn to the county seat. At the same time, according to reliable intelligence, the troops defending Niangzi Pass also began to retreat to Shanxi. The instructor instructed us to mobilize the masses in the vicinity of Qingyan Town to carry out an independent anti-Japanese guerrilla war. While speaking, Liu Tianshu pushed the letter in front of Liu Siyuan.

"Huyangkou lost?" When the merchant heard Liu Tianshu's words, he couldn't help but scream.

"Yes, the Jin Sui army in Huyangkou has withdrawn, and at present, the main force of the devils is attacking in the direction of Shanxi along Zhengtai Road, and at the same time it has begun to occupy the surrounding counties. By the way, is the Merchant Captain's family still in Fort Merchant? Will the devils notice them? Liu Tianshu suddenly thought of this.

As for Shang Bao's body, this morning when he promised Shang and joined the fourth team, he was buried in the mountains and forests behind Huangshi Village. (To be continued.) )
