Twenty-two: Friendship cultivated by artillery fire

When the commander of the first battalion of the third regiment heard that the commander of the first regiment had asked him to go for a visit, he said to the people around him: "The troops have passed through the defense area of other people's houses, and there is no greeting in advance. He dismounted and followed the crowd into the house in the alley. When he entered the door, he was pressed to the ground by the soldiers of the house, and was bound.

He was pulled up and sat on a chair. He looked at the soldiers who tied him up one by one, and their battalion commander proudly picked up the hat on the ground and put it on him. There can be no doubt that he was tied up at the behest of their battalion commander. He figured they wouldn't tie themselves up for no reason. It was the three regiments that mutinied that was exposed. He thought that the three regiments went to the brigade headquarters to participate in the mutiny, which was carried out in secret, and the first regiment would not know. Thinking of this, he had a bottom in his heart, and he said, "What are you going to do?" It's all their own people who have something to say. ”

The commander of the first battalion of the first regiment asked him: "Say! Where are you going? He said: "I have just told you that we are going to the brigade headquarters to accept the mission. The people of the first regiment asked: "Since you are going to the brigade headquarters to accept the mission, why haven't we received an order from the brigade headquarters to let you pass through the defense area?" ”

He was relieved to hear this. The men of the first regiment did not know anything about the mutiny at the brigade headquarters, and even less about the purpose of the actions of the third regiment. He said confidently: "If you ask me about this, who will I ask." Whoever dares to disobey the order of the brigade headquarters, please let it go quickly. "The people of the regiment and battalion couldn't ask about the situation, so they were in a hurry.

A regimental leader entered the house. He saw that the head of the regiment was coming and knew that the matter was serious, he was a little afraid, and lowered his head in fear, he saw that the commander of the regiment did not speak and strengthened his courage and said: "Sir, I don't understand why your people tied me up." The head of the regiment did not look at him and said sharply, "You know in your heart." You know very well what happened to the brigade headquarters, the whole regiment of the three regiments dispatched you to lead the team to walk in front, you went to the brigade headquarters to accept the task, you know what the task is. ”

He paused for a moment and said, "I have invited you to come and bind you up for your own good." I remember we had a drink together, and we had a good conversation. I know who you are. I'm asking you to say it now to give you a chance to be a human being. ”

He looked at the regiment commander in surprise, he thought that this time was over, the regiment commander already knew what was happening at the brigade headquarters. He also knew the purpose of our three regiments. Mutiny is a matter of life, and if I say it, it will be death, and if I don't say it, it will be death. I was tied up by them.

The first regiment commander said: "I advise you a few words, it is not up to me to decide whether you can come back again after you go to the brigade headquarters." It's the guns that have the final say. Now you tell me what you are going to do at the brigade headquarters, and you say that you can afford me as a regiment commander, and you can have a way to live. I'm up to the rest of the story. Think about which way to go. ”

He lowered his head and pondered, there were two paths in front of him, one was to follow the three regiment commanders to participate in the mutiny, and if the mutiny was successful, he would have a bowl of rice to eat. The mutiny failed, and his surname was not guaranteed. The other way is to leave yourself a back path. This back road is here with the head of the regiment, but can the head of the regiment quell the mutiny? He was silent.

The head of the regiment did not force him, he walked slowly back and forth in front of him with his hands behind his back. He suddenly said, "Someone." The crowd replied, "Yes." The commander of the first battalion of the third regiment looked at the commander of the first regiment in surprise. He thought that a regimental commander was going to kill him. He said, "Sir, what are you going to do?" I have not committed a capital crime. You can't kill me. ”

The head of the regiment said, "Give him a loose gang." Let him go. The crowd replied, "Yes." ”

The commander of the first battalion of the third regiment did not believe that the commander of the first regiment would let him go, this was to let the tiger return to the mountain, and no one could do anything to him when he returned to his own troops. He also knew that the commander of the regiment would not surrender to the mutinous troops, and he would definitely lead the troops to attack the brigade headquarters. If he fights three regiments first, the people of the three regiments are on the way. Undefeated.

He feared that the commander of the first regiment would kill him before he could walk out of this room, and then go to disarm the third regiment. I'm afraid my life will be lost here. He had to go again, he was a soldier, he was not afraid of death, but he was not willing to die here in vain. He walked slowly to the door, and he stepped out of it and stopped. He didn't hear the gunshots, he didn't hear the whirring of daggers. He realized that the head of the regiment had no intention of killing him.

He turned around and saw a regimental leader raise his chin at him, telling him to go. He knew that since the commander of the first regiment had captured him, he was ready for battle. The first regiment commander asked him to go to see how he went, and the first regiment commander left him a back road, this was an opportunity, and he should not give up this opportunity.

He suddenly felt that the first regiment commander had done his duty, and he was not responsible for himself to go like this, and the first regiment commander knew that someone had mutinied at the brigade headquarters, but he did not necessarily know that the acting brigade commander had been killed. If he knew, there would be no need to scratch himself and ask himself.

He said, "Commander, thank you for not killing. I know your relationship with the acting brigade commander. You are not only cousins, but you also have a life-and-death friendship when you fought against the Japanese army. The deputy brigade commander and the deputy from Yucheng said that the acting brigade commander secretly colluded with the Yue army to surrender himself. They killed him and mutinied. Our regiment was transferred to the brigade headquarters for the defense. That's all I know. ”

When the commander of the regiment heard that the acting brigade commander had been killed, his heart sank and he scolded these bastards for being too vicious. He immediately stabilized his emotions and said, "You already know a lot. You said it, and I'll take what I said. If you go back, they will kill you. For your safety. We'll let you go. You passed, which means you didn't say it. Go ahead. The commander of the third regiment and the first battalion was very grateful, and he saluted the commander of the first regiment and said: "I don't believe that the acting brigade commander collaborated with the enemy, and I don't want to mutiny, but the military order is difficult." He turned and walked away.

The actions of the three regiments made the commander of the regiment feel the seriousness of the problem. The brigade headquarters is currently guarded by only direct battalions. If the third regiment passes, the strength of the brigade headquarters will not be ordinary. He couldn't let the three regiments pass. He was going to act immediately to take the brigade headquarters. Take control of the big picture.

The deputy brigade commander mutinied the first regiment commander couldn't figure it out, he was the son of the brigade commander's wife and cousin, and he was born in the army martial arts hall. When the old man was there, he was the head of the second regiment. After the old man retired, he gave the position of brigade commander to his son. At that time, the warlords were in a melee, and in one battle, he used his body to block enemy bullets for the brigade commander. He was wounded and almost died. In order to thank him for saving his life, the brigade commander gave him the position of his former deputy brigade commander. He had no reason to mutiny.

Now that the acting brigade commander is dead, who killed him? Is it the deputy brigade commander? He was the supreme commander of the mutiny, and he would not kill the acting brigade commander for whatever reason he mutinied. He'll take the power of the acting brigade commander, but he won't take his life. It's the representative from Yucheng! That man has always been unpopular with the officers and soldiers of the troops. He was his representative, and there was no need for him to meddle in the mutiny. But he intervened. In the past, I heard that the relationship between the battalion directly under him was not ordinary, was he the acting brigade commander who killed him?

The death of the acting brigade commander made the regiment commander angry. He grew up in front of the old man with the acting brigade commander. He called the old man and grandfather, and the acting brigade commander called the old man and grandfather, and the old man often happily hugged one in one hand. He remembered that when the old man went out on the expedition, he rode a horse and stood in front of the troops. Grandma gave him wine. He waved behind his grandmother and said, "Bring my grandson and grandson." I'm going to hug them. The nurse carried them to the old man's horse. Their mothers followed. The old man rode on his horse and picked one up in one hand, and he laughed and said, "These two children have brought me good luck. Ever since having these two children, I've been winning battles. My troops grew all at once. They are the victory, they are the hope, they are the future. The old man said laughing. He laughed and said, "Go out and win!" The warriors behind him shouted in unison: "Victory, victory!" ”

When he was in middle school, his mother took him to his grandfather's house in Nanjing. When the old man died, he returned to Peking with his mother, and he met with the acting brigade commander who was in middle school. They joined the army together in the 77 Incident, and they trained together in the new barracks. Let's go to the front line together to fight the devils. (To be continued.) )
