Suddenly there was a gunshot outside the division department, and the commander who was holding a military meeting, Huo stood up, stretched out his hand to take out the matching gun on his body, and when he touched it, it was an empty holster, and they looked at the angry division seat, waiting for instructions one by one.

Division Commander He ordered angrily: "Staff Officer Liu, you go outside immediately to see which bastard wiped his gun and arrested him." ”

Staff Officer Liu stood up and rushed out of the conference room, and when he saw that it was Yan Ruofei, a bastard, and Director Yuan of the Supervision Department were fighting for a pistol, he yelled sternly: "There is an order from the division, arrest the shooter and wait for interrogation." ”

Yan Ruofei saw Staff Officer Liu standing there, thinking that as long as there was an order from the division, Director Yuan would not dare to shoot him.

He let go of the pistol he was fighting for, and gave Staff Officer Liu a military salute in a formal manner: "Report to Staff Officer Liu, I have urgent military affairs to report to the division seat, but I didn't expect to be blocked outside the division department, this, it was this guard platoon commander who suddenly pointed a gun at my head and wanted to arrest me." ”

Staff Officer Liu glared at the guard platoon commander fiercely, and the second lieutenant platoon commander was so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back.

Yan Ruofei continued: "It didn't take long, this guard platoon commander called his cousin Director Yuan out, hmph, this Director Yuan took a gun from behind and put it on the back of my head, and ordered the two soldiers beside him to take me to the interrogation room of the Inspectorate, I was afraid of accidents, so I competed with Director Yuan for the gun on my head, who knew that Director Yuan actually shot and murdered me, I want to meet the master seat and ask for justice." ”

Staff Officer Liu is embarrassed, simply Yan Ruofei, he can settle it, but with the addition of Director Yuan, a colonel of the Inspectorate, it is not something that he can deal with as a lieutenant colonel and staff officer.

He said calmly: "Please don't be impulsive for the time being, I will report to the division seat immediately, and wait for the teacher's reply order, but please don't be impatient, in this extraordinary period, it is best not to get into trouble." ”

When Division Commander He heard the gunshots coming from outside the division department, it was Director Yuan of the Supervision Department and Yan Ruofei of the independent company of the division headquarters who were making a fuss, and he scolded angrily: "Bastard, the current Kuomintang Third Division, the division commander is still me, He Guangzhao, they dare to shoot outside the division department, don't they all want to live?" ”

At this time, the head of the 368th regiment, who was already sitting in the conference room, glanced at Chief of Staff Sun beside him, and scolded in a low voice: "This bastard can cause trouble anywhere, you said that he didn't ask the master to help him, and he made such a big move, I am convinced." ”

Division Commander He ordered to Staff Officer Liu: "You immediately escort Yan Rufei (Yan Ruofei), this bastard, to the guard platoon, I will go over in a while, and then call Director Yuan in and continue the meeting." ”

Director Yuan of the Supervision Department walked into the conference room, seemed to look at Master He very aggrieved and said: "Shizao, I went out to pee and pee just now, just in time for Yan Rufei (Yan Ruofei), the bastard to make trouble outside the division department, I wanted to stop it, but I didn't expect this bastard to suddenly snatch the gun in my hand, just when the two of us were fighting, the gun suddenly went off and alarmed the division, which I didn't expect." ”

Master He asked without mercy: "Director Yuan, you pee and pee, and you still have a gun?" Before each commander entered the conference room, he had to hand over his guns, which was a measure that had to be taken for the safety of this military meeting. But when you suddenly find out about the situation, you immediately have a gun in your hand, so let me ask you, where did you get the gun? ”

Director Yuan said: "I, as soon as I saw that someone outside the division department was moving with the guard platoon commander, I grabbed it from a junior officer and rushed over, but I didn't expect this to happen. ”

Division Commander He didn't want to make trouble at this critical moment when the Kuomintang Third Division was retreating, so he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "You sit down, let's continue the meeting." ”

He glanced at the governors at all levels present, and said in a bad mood: "Just now I read out the order issued by the Provincial Appeasement Administration to retreat to Wencheng County, at the southern foot of Kunyu Mountain, and each of the governors simply expressed their own views. ”

The sparse applause, like a broken boom, is low and depressing.

A tall, lean man, with a slightly pale face that was not much red, and a pair of deep glasses, coughed lightly before speaking.

He stood up and waved his hand: "Everyone, everyone, on the orders of the provincial chairman, I am here to visit the third division of the Kuomintang. ”

Commissioner Lin coughed lightly as he spoke, and then said: "Let me first explain one point, Shangfeng ordered the third division to leave the northern foot of Kunyu Mountain and march to the southern foothills, not a retreat, it is a major strategic transfer, it is the upper peak of Shangfeng, and a major decision has been made, which is related to the battle situation in Jiaodong, the war situation in Shandong Province, and even the entire war situation in North China. “

He coughed and paused for a moment and continued: "The contemptible people came to the territory of the third division and brother He, not to urge the order, nor to point fingers and take the command, but to cooperate with the division of the third division, to do a good job and do a solid job in the strategic transfer of the third division, and to make the Japanese impeccable, only in this way can we avoid the war and protect this place from the massacre and plunder of the Japanese, this is the highest level required by the provincial chairman." I hope that all my colleagues will work with one heart and one mind, make their own responsibilities for this major strategic transfer, and successfully complete the orders and tasks issued by the upper peak. ”

Commander Cui couldn't sit still anymore and stood up, and said sharply: "Lin Gaoshen, I want to ask, the third division of the Kuomintang occupies as much as half of the north foot of Kunyu Mountain, relying on Kunyu Mountain, and a regiment of the friendly Eighth Route Army occupies it in the middle. ”

He glanced at his colleagues in the room, and saw that some of them looked at each other with support, some with suspicious expressions, and some with disdainful expressions.

Commander Cui continued without hesitation: "Lin Gaoshen, once the Kuomintang Third Division retreats to the southern foot of Kunyu Mountain, it will inevitably cause the enemy to occupy it frantically, and the entire Xinmu City, except for the base established by the friendly Eighth Route Army, will almost become an occupation area for little devils. The Eighth Route Army will be attacked from many sides, once it can't be supported, the entire northern foot of Kunyu Mountain will become an enemy-occupied area for little devils, and we will want to take it back in the future, hmph, I don't know how much price we have to pay, I think. ”

Commissioner Lin stood up suddenly, pointed at Commander Cui and said sternly: "Alarmist, nonsense, the strategic deployment of the peak is not something that you can understand as a small regiment leader. Don't demagogue, I can no longer pursue your remarks, please sit down and reflect on your position, I think your statement is very similar to red propaganda, and you are responsible for your remarks. ”

Commander Cui said with a smile: "Our government and army, because of the current situation, have a kind of fear psychology, are frightened by the arrogance of the enemy, suppress different opinions, expand friction with friendly troops, can not brothers join hands against the enemy, defeat and retreat, to create opportunities for the enemy, so that a large area of the country and . ”

Division Commander He saw that the more Commander Cui spoke, the more he spoke, the more passionate he became, and he was afraid that if he was dismissed from his post and questioned by the upper peak for inappropriate remarks, the third division would lose an iron-clad tiger general, and at that time it would be a big loss.

He said: "Commander Cui can have the heart of worrying about the country and the army, he should be greatly appreciated, but Shangfeng has issued an order for strategic transfer, and our third division can submit a detailed report to Shangfeng according to the diversification of the battle situation at the northern foot of Kunyu Mountain, please consider the layout as appropriate, today's military meeting, come to an end first, and wait for me to discuss the specific plan with Lin Gaoshen, and then issue an order and dismiss the meeting." ”

The commanders of the conference room of the division headquarters all withdrew, and Division Commander He sat in his seat, his hands were in his hair, and he frowned and sighed: "The danger of the country, the suffering of the people, the rivers and mountains are broken, the great enemy is current, and the retreat is being defeated and retreating, the men have the ambition to not charge and kill the enemy, and the revenge of the soldiers is hindered. ”

He sighed and shed tears, because he could not lead 5,000 soldiers into battle to kill the enemy, blindly retreated and endured, and felt in his heart that this was a great sorrow and shame.

"Master, teacher? Yan Rufei (Yan Ruofei) is still waiting for your summons in the guard platoon, see if it is. Staff Officer Liu cautiously walked into the conference room of the division headquarters and asked in a low voice.

Master He didn't react for a while, and shouted: "This little bastard, every time I see him, I will make this bastard uneasy, you blow him away for me, tell him to get out, I don't want to see him again." ”

Staff Officer Liu said tentatively again: "Master, he said that there is urgent information to report to you, you see, do you want to ask him to come here, if what he says is not as good as you want, how about telling him to leave?" ”

"No, I don't want to see him, I want to kill someone now, you tell him, if he wants to die, send his head over, I'm going to kill him." Like an angry lion, Senior Commander He suddenly jumped up and grabbed Staff Officer Liu's collar, almost roaring and shouting. (To be continued.) )
