At first glance, I heard that I was going to defect to the New Fourth Army, although the officers under Captain Bao had been vaccinated by Lao Bao in advance, but they were still shocked, and there was silence in the venue, and there was an unbearable silence, which lasted for nearly a few minutes, and then one of his cronies broke the silence: "Captain, we have fought with **** before, aren't you afraid that they will settle accounts with us about this matter?" ”

These words came out of the worries of the officers under Captain Bao, these worries do exist, thinking that the Jiang Defense Corps had fought several battles with the Red Army as the Kuomintang army attacking the Soviet area, and there were casualties on both sides, and the Jiang Defense Corps suffered more casualties, coupled with the long-term instillation of the demonization theory of the Red Army, these officers all thought that Captain Bao was now suddenly proposing to defect to the ****, which was too abrupt and incredible, and they were afraid that the **** old accounts would be re-mentioned and liquidate the bad things they had done in the Soviet area. That's not easy to do, so when they heard that Captain Bao was going to take them to ****, they had an idea.

It's no problem to have an idea, of course Captain Bao expected it, so he said to his subordinate brothers according to what Han Fei taught him: "Brothers, let's not talk about it from afar, just about the battle against the Fujii Brigade that just ended, how do you say the performance of the New Fourth Army?" ”

"Okay, good fight, I didn't expect them to have such a good record with such poor weapons and equipment, to be honest, our Jiang Defense Corps is ashamed of itself." The officers under his command sincerely sighed that the performance of the New Fourth Army in the battle was too eye-catching, their equipment was outdated, and the military uniforms they wore were like those called Huazi, and some people even held primitive weapons such as red tassel guns and broadswords, but they were defeated and lost in the northwest direction of Songjiaao.

"Then do you know why they were able to defeat the Fujii Brigade with such poor equipment?" Captain Bao threw out the question.

"They're tough, aren't they? They were already very strong when they were in Jiangxi, we admit that. The officers under his command still did not say the key point, but only saw the strength of the Red Army's combat effectiveness on the surface, but did not know the meaning of it.

Captain Bao shook his head and said, "If you want to say that the combat power is strong, is the Fujii Brigade devil who is armed to the teeth worse?" But why did they finally die at the hands of the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army, no matter how the devils attacked, they could never break through the Jiangbank defense line, and why is this? ”

"We don't know."

"They rely on mingling with the people, never disturb the people, let alone bully the people, their recruits are all volunteers of the people to join the team, unlike some of our troops who actually rely on catching strong men to replenish the soldiers, so they can find the whereabouts of the devils before they act, the wounded can be treated, the grain and grass can also be effectively supplied, and it is logical to win the war. Most of Captain Bao's words were taught to him by Han Fei, he didn't have such a high consciousness, but he felt that this was very reasonable, and he could get along with the people, that is, he won the hearts of most of the people, so it didn't make sense for such a team not to win the battle?

"So that's the case, we understand a little, captain, as long as we don't pursue our previous affairs over there, we have no opinion, listen to your arrangement!" The positions of the officers under Captain Bao changed, and it just so happened that at this time, the sentry outside reported: "The people of the Jiangnan detachment ask to see the captain!" ”

As soon as Lao Bao heard that he had come just in time, he ordered the sentry: "Hurry up, please!" ”

Two young people came in outside, dressed in gray and white New Fourth Army uniforms, although they were a little old, but they were still quite neat, especially the two young people were in good spirits, and when they came in and saw Captain Bao, they saluted: "We are from the Jiangnan Detachment of the New Fourth Army, and we were ordered to come to your place to deliver our letter from Commander Zhang, please check!" ”

After speaking, the two young men handed Captain Bao a letter, and Captain Bao took it and took a look, it was such a beautiful book, and it could be seen that Commander Zhang must be educated, otherwise he would not be able to write such a good word.

Opening the envelope and taking a look, Captain Bao's face slowly relaxed, and finally he took the letter and let his officers circulate it, and said: "There are two Lao, please wait for a while, we will discuss it, and there will be a reply immediately!" ”

"It's okay, we can wait slowly." The two young men were neither arrogant nor humble, and their bodies were motionless.

Lao Bao said to his brothers: "After reading this letter, everyone is relieved, right?" Everyone is Chinese, what grievances can't be let go? Now it is important to fight devils, and it is most important to fight foreign enemies together, since Lao Jiang wants to abandon us, then we have to do this, this is not to take refuge in the Japanese as traitors, but to go to the light, better fight devils! ”

This time, the officers under Lao Bao have nothing to say, since the boss has made up his mind like this, then as a subordinate, he naturally has to listen to the boss's arrangement, and they all expressed their obedience to the arrangement of the captain and are willing to follow him!

Captain Bao asked for a pen and paper, wrote a reply letter with a "brush", handed it to the two young men, and shouted to the adjutant beside him: "Take out a squad in the independent battalion to escort these two brothers back!" ”

The two young men hurriedly waved their hands and declined: "Thank you, Captain Bao!" We don't need the protection of the soldiers, we can get back without a hitch. ”

"This can't work, the letter you are holding in your hands at this moment is a big matter related to the heads of Bao and thousands of brothers in the River Defense Corps, there must be no mistakes, send troops to escort you back, this is our most basic requirement, if you don't even want to do this, then I don't think we need to talk about other things, right?" Captain Bao naturally understands that this letter must not fall into the hands of the devil and other Kuomintang troops, once there is any leakage, then the lives of himself and his thousands of brothers will be in danger, the Kuomintang military spies are everywhere, and they know about this, then Captain Bao is a dead end, once Captain Bao is finished, then the Jiangfang Corps can be good? Therefore, for the sake of absolute safety, he must send troops to protect the absolute safety of these two messengers of the New Fourth Army, which is equivalent to protecting themselves!

The two young men thought about it, exchanged their heads and exchanged ears, then nodded and agreed with Captain Bao's opinion, Captain Bao saw this, and ordered the adjutant to send another squad to escort them back, the strength of the two squads is safe now, right?
