Chapter 20: Earning Sympathy with the Truth (Part 2)

In Commander Cui's room, there was another angry scolding: "You shitty calves, bastards and bastards, you are bold, you are bold, you are bold, I will tie up all thirteen of you and hand them over to a military court to judge you and judge you." ”

Commander Cui was already furious, and in a fit of rage, he pulled out his pistol, aimed it at Yan Ruofei's head, gritted his teeth and scolded: "You bastard, I'll kill you now." ”

Liu Cheng, who was standing outside, just started to hear the laughter in the house, and his heart was relieved. With the insults coming out of the head of the regiment's house again and again, he was so frightened that he kept it again, and after several repeated tosses, his little heart was about to be crushed, but he didn't dare to come over, this kind of heart-pounding feeling was really bad.

Commander Cui listened to Yan Ruofei talk about this adventure calmly, and he was excited at first, and the more he listened, the more angry he became, and when he heard Yan Ruofei say those things in the base of the Eighth Route Army, he couldn't bear to be angry and insulted again and again, and finally put the gun on Yan Ruofei's head.

Tingting heard her father shouting to shoot Yan Ruofei in the back room, she rushed out without caring about anything, and went up to snatch the gun in his father's hand: "Dad, what's wrong with you?" I've heard it all, what's wrong with what Yan Rufei did? He has his own troubles, do you want him to speak well? ”

Captain Cui scolded hatefully: "Little bastard, you give me a reason, if there is half a lie, I will really shoot you." ”

Yan Ruofei didn't expect that his actions in the base area of the Eighth Route Army this time would make Regiment Commander Cui angry to such an extent, he underestimated the friction between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the complicated internal situation was not so profound that he could understand as a modern soldier just by reading a few books.

He had to readjust his thinking, in order to protect himself and the brothers of the 'Thirteen Blood Alliance', Yan Ruofei stared at the bright eyes, looked at the angry head of the regiment, and said sincerely: "Commander, I ask the regiment commander to listen to what I have said, and then determine whether I should be dealt with by military law, if so."

Head Cui raised his hand and was about to speak, when the phone on the table rang suddenly, he walked over and grabbed the phone, suppressed his anger and asked, "Where?" What the? What are you doing? Pour it out and feed it to the dogs. "The 'snap' call was deducted.

"Dad, sit down to extinguish the fire, listen patiently to Yan Rufei's words, if what he says makes sense, you can spare him." Tingting comforted and explained.

Mrs. Cui also persuaded: "Yongqiang, you are a big temper, Rufei has not finished speaking, you have been angry and scolded again and again, are you too warlord?" You can't lose anything by telling people to finish talking. ”

"There's nothing to do with your mother and daughter here, hurry up to the back room, I can tell you two, Yan Rufei's crime this time is not to get by by being sloppy, he is in the Communist Party, does the Communist Party know? Once he doesn't get it right, he will lose his head, and even the thirteen people who come back will be severely dealt with by military law. ”

"Dad, don't scare Rufei, he's timid, it's not so serious, right?" Tingting was also frightened when she heard this, and quickly asked again.

"Then it depends on what this kid says, say it, stinky boy, if there is no sufficient reason, your kid's crime is conclusive, I just want to protect you, I can't speak, say it."

"Regiment Commander, in order to clear you up from this matter, I wonder if you should also invite Chief of Staff Sun over?" Yan Ruofei reminded.

Commander Cui looked at Yan Ruofei with a pout: "Hmph, you kid went out, I didn't expect to be heart-warming this time, okay, I'll call Chief of Staff Sun over." ”

"Hey, hey, Chief of Staff Sun? You come to my house, yes, right now. ”

Yan Ruofei faced the two commanders, in addition to concealing his identity, he did not add any branches and leaves to the battles he experienced and what happened on the way back, nor did he show off himself too much, and reported truthfully according to the truth of the facts.

The two chiefs listened and couldn't help but nod their heads in approval.

When Yan Ruofei said that when he passed through the checkpoint set up by the enemy puppet army, he said with a little emotion: "We led seven horse-drawn carts full of weapons, ammunition and food, and were first pursued by the enemy puppet army at the checkpoint, and after a short time, five enemy armed motorcycle teams with machine guns caught up, and after desperate and fierce fighting, we still couldn't shake off the enemy's pursuit. ”

He paused for a moment and then said: "We can't even parry the enemy in front of us, who knows that a small group of reinforcements of the little devil came up, the reconnaissance company is left with these thirteen people and ten puppet army prisoners, no matter how sufficient the weapons and ammunition are, it is not ten times that of my enemy opponent, our people are constantly wounded, and we are about to be surrounded by the enemy puppet army, we have no hope of escaping, the only belief is to fight with the little devil, killing one is enough, killing one more is earning." ”

When the regiment commander and the chief of staff heard this, they all sweated for their subordinate brothers. For a while, the room was tense and quiet, staring and waiting for Yan Ruofei to continue.

Yan Ruofei swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and the chief of staff hurriedly picked up the teacup and gave it to him, he took two sips in a hurry, and put the teacup on the coffee table.

"Y-What are you going to say? Do you want to be anxious to die? Cui Tingting ran out of the back room and asked anxiously.

"It's none of your business here, go back." Head Cui said with a wave of his hand.

Tingting slowly retreated with her mouth pursed, stood by the door and stood still, looking at Yan Ruofei with blank eyes, waiting for him to continue.

Yan Ruofei cleared his throat: "I ordered the machine gun to be filled with bullets and stay, and I covered their retreat, but none of the brothers listened, and shouted loudly, if you want to die together, we will all live, so no one flinched, and we began to fight to the death with the enemy again." ”

He shook his head and continued: "A good tiger is afraid of a pack of wolves, and we have already held the determination to fight the enemy to the death. I saw at that time that once the enemy rushed into the green gauze tent and used the cover of crops to encircle us, our lives would be completely accounted for this time. ”

Yan Ruofei was suddenly shocked: "At this critical juncture of fighting to the death in isolation, a dense number of bullets were fired from the green gauze tent, and the enemy was caught off guard, lying on the ground and firing back, and the temporarily suppressed enemy couldn't raise his head." ”

When he said this, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Do the two commanders know which army came to reinforce them?" It was a company of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, and the company commander urged us several times to escort the carriage back to the base area of the Eighth Route Army first, bandage the wounds, and do a temporary rest. ”

Yan Ruofei said sincerely; "I didn't expect it to be the Eighth Route Army who saved us, if they didn't come to reinforce us, how could we come back alive to see the commander, let alone bring back a few wagons of supplies. People can't be without conscience, they cover our retreat, and I order to leave the wagons loaded with ammunition and support two more machine guns. ”

He said here and smiled: "It's not that our hearts are bad, if the Eight Roads have weapons and ammunition, they can beat the little devils back, and we can be saved, it should be such a reason, right, two chiefs?" ”

Commander Cui and Chief of Staff Sun looked at each other and smiled, and the chief of staff said: "What this kid said also makes some sense, so what about later?" ”

"Later, later, our thirteen brothers escorted the carriage and withdrew to Longshan Town, the base of the Eighth Route Army, and those ordinary people, seeing that we still had a few brothers who didn't have time to change into the military uniforms of the little devils, thought that they were captured by the devils, and this guy rushed up and beat them to death." When Yan Ruofei said this, he wiped the sweat on his face, and he was still a little scared at this time.

"So, then no one cares?" Head Cui asked anxiously.

Yan Ruofei glanced at Tingting who was standing at the door of the inner room, and saw that she was trembling nervously.

He said: "Yes, thanks to a platoon of the Eighth Route Army, this can stop the anger of the people. I boarded the carriage to explain to the villagers, who knew that my arm was wounded and bleeding profusely, and after another day of fighting, I was physically and mentally exhausted from the long evacuation, and I fainted and was about to fall off the carriage."

"Ah, what happened later?" Tingting couldn't help but shout and asked.

"Later, I heard that a girl rushed out of the crowd, picked me up and ran, and when I woke up, I found myself lying on the hospital bed of the Eighth Route Army health team. The bullet was taken out, and I slowly woke up to see the commander of the Eighth Route Army, the political commissar, standing next to my bedside. Yan Ruofei took a breath, and seeing that the two chiefs frowned, he didn't say anything.

There was a dullness in the room, and no one spoke.

Tingting couldn't help but ask: "Later, quickly say what happened, who is that girl?" ”

Yan Ruofei ignored Tingting's question, looked at the two chiefs, and waited with an inquiring expression.

"Say it, it's already said, don't hide it, it's useless to hide it, it's better for you kid to tell the truth." Head Cui said solemnly.

Yan Ruofei couldn't wait for the two commanders to tell him to continue: "The regiment commander and political commissar of the Eighth Route are greeting me, and the Eighth Route Army has returned with a company and reported that it has repelled the enemy and suffered seven casualties. Regiment commander and chief of staff, you said that the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army caused casualties in order to cover our retreat, and in exchange for the lives of the thirteen brothers of the 368th Regiment of our Kuomintang, are they kind to us? ”

The two chiefs sighed deeply, and Commander Cui motioned to continue.

Yan Ruofei's face sank, and he said unhappily: "We were talking, and suddenly someone reported that the first company of the Eighth Route Army and our brothers had done it, and the two sides confronted each other with guns, and they were going to shoot if they didn't agree." ”

He shook his head and grunted to himself: "It's all for something, it's not that people are poor, and they are red when they see weapons, ammunition and food." ”

Head Cui asked impatiently, "What are you muttering about?" Tell me what happened? If you don't make it clear, you are still a communist, and the end result is shooting. ”
