Episode 64 Lonely Brigade (4) Resident Ancient Temple
Y country boundary river county, located in the north of Y country, the population of the eighties of the last century, about two or three hundred thousand people, Jiehe County is mainly agriculture, all walks of life are very underdeveloped, can choose to rest here, Zhang Wenzhi's biggest consideration is to directly enter the northern inland area of Y country, jump out of the enemy's heavy garrison, because the roads around Jiehe County extend in all directions, in order to carry out the next movement, the most important thing is also for the sake of Seventh Brother, because only by entering the regular county town, can you find a good doctor to treat his back injury.
In order not to reveal their identity as foreign soldiers, everyone pretended to be dumb, although they could hear something in their ears, but they would not respond.
A 'gold bar', changed to the 'Jiehe County' outside the city of the broken temple to live, there was a Taoist priest in the temple, after taking the "gold bar", immediately slipped away, I don't know where to go.
"Obediently, I said second brother, did you say that the old man just now saw something about us, will he go to ventilate and report the news?" The deputy platoon commander did not believe in any of the people of country Y, he himself was a person who had gone through the 'Mi-Vietnam War', and his vigilance was quite high.
"I can also see that this Taoist priest seems to be a Chinese-national-person, I think he can't cause us any trouble, just don't want to burden himself," Guo Kaiqing walked into the temple, and found that there were traces of Chinese everywhere in the temple, some of which were still freshly scraped, but there were also places that had not had time to be removed.
"The old way, two sentinels. Two secret sentinels, there are two sets of Taoist uniforms in that broken house, I'll wear one, you can find someone else to wear such a one," Zhang Wenzhi seemed to be pretending to be a Taoist priest himself, and he said to Guo Kaiqing with confidence.
"Okay, then call the pillar your junior brother."
The people of Y are very influenced by Chinese culture and have almost always used Chinese to record history, that is, in recent decades. They replaced the original Chinese characters with letters, but this ancient temple has not changed, and the center is still dedicated to "Guan Gongye", and there is no Guan Ping on the left and right, accompanied by Zhou Cang, which seems to be very 'lonely'. ’
"Big brother, second brother, I want to go to the city and buy some food to come back. By the way, inquire if there is the whereabouts of that 'fat man', "whose 'life' it is, who knows." The deputy platoon commander didn't need to be ordered, so he took the initiative to change into civilian clothes of country Y and prepared to go to the street.
"It's fine, but be careful. I heard Brother Qi say that when you took him to the doctor, the doctor looked at you inattentively. It shouldn't be found out, right?" Zhang Wenzhi's worries are not unreasonable, the people of country Y now are the same as they were when our country was first liberated, and everyone is a 'spy'. ’
The deputy platoon commander triumphantly opened his 'talisman', "I'm different from you, I'm an authentic Y countryman, who do you think will doubt me." ”
"It's better to be careful, or I'll go with you," Guo Kaiqing was still worried about the safety of the deputy platoon commander's trip, he knew that the deputy platoon commander's kung fu was really average, but the troops couldn't lose him, if there was no him, everyone would be blind, deaf, and their eyes would be dark, and they wouldn't know anything.
"That's fine, the second brother is still dressed as a soldier, it's convenient to carry a weapon, you two stay a little distance, just take care of each other," Zhang Wenzhi thinks it's okay, this 'central-central-military academy' is a high-achieving student, born to be a reading material, and now he speaks the best Y dialect in the army, sometimes even the deputy platoon commander admires him, he commands everyone to fight in the temple alone, and there can be no problems.
The deputy platoon commander was dressed as an ordinary peasant from country Y, and it was difficult for people to see that he had been a soldier, but he was carrying a bamboo basket on his arm to go to the city to buy things.
About thirty or forty meters away from the deputy platoon commander, Guo Kaiqing's majestic dress made people look like a commander of the army, only to see him swaying step by step, walking proudly on the dirt road leading to the county seat, and from time to time following the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law to 'smell', like a 'second slipper' who has just mixed from a guerrilla army to a miscellaneous army. ’
Sent away Guo Kaiqing and the deputy platoon commander, Zhang Wenzhi led the soldiers, the ancient temple was renovated in a complex way, in the backyard of the main hall, everyone moved away a large piece of green bricks, and excavated the fortifications, and soon several wide underground passages were dug up, the 'pillar' at the door was responsible for putting a sentry in front of the mountain gate, and there were two sentries inside the mountain gate listening to the command, as long as there were living people coming in, most of them would stop acting and hide everywhere, fortunately, there were not many people, and they disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Maybe it was far away from the county seat, and the nearby villages were not very close, and within a day, no pilgrims came to visit, so Zhang Wenzhi ordered someone to make a meal of the rice grain left by the Taoist priest, and everyone ate together.
The deputy platoon commander and Guo Kaiqing walked into the city of 'Jiehe County' one after another, and the slogans and banners on the streets made them find the feeling of the turbulent period again, and when the deputy platoon commander bought food and was about to leave, the sharp-eyed Guo Kaiqing suddenly found a few 'old hairs' drinking in a tavern.
"Second brother, what are you looking at?" The deputy platoon commander walked up to Guo Kaiqing and asked.
Guo Kaiqing snorted at him, "What do you want to find, look over there." ”
"Is there that fat man?"
"Nope."
"There are a lot of old hairy people like this country Y, and we don't understand the Su dialect, so it's useless to listen to it."
"We don't understand, some people understand, big brother he understands."
"You mean to scratch your tongue and go back?"
Guo Kaiqing nodded affirmatively.
As for tongue grabbing, the deputy platoon commander and Guo Kaiqing are not novices, let's just say that Guo Kaiqing, the reconnaissance squad leader, is from dozens of people, but it is really not a good thing to transport these tall 'old Maozi' to the broken temple, but the problem is still overcome, the deputy platoon commander borrowed a carriage in a shop, and the deposit was the coins of country Y that had captured the enemy, which was worth considerable, enough to buy two such dilapidated carriages.
The next 'stealing people' action was started by Guo Kaiqing, and under the public in the hall, Guo Kaiqing was very light, and he put a convenient 'old Maozi'. He knocked it down with his palm, threw it on the carriage, covered it with a few broken sacks, and drove out of the city from the streets of the county town at a rapid pace.
After leaving the county seat, Guo Kaiqing took over the deputy platoon commander's horsewhip, shouted for a while, and soon came to the ancient temple.
Looking at the 'old Maozi' who had not yet woken up, Zhang Wenzhi laughed. "The harvest is quite big, what's the matter, it's not tied up, and I haven't woken up yet."
Guo Kaiqing stepped forward and kicked the 'old maozi' on the ground, "It may be that the cat has been filled with too much urine and has fallen asleep." ”
"Okay then, pillar, give the second brother and the deputy platoon commander some noodles to eat, it looks like they must not have had lunch." Zhang Wenzhi invited the 'pillars' outside the mountain gate, and ordered the soldiers to drag the 'old Maozi' to the pit at the bottom of the apse courtyard.
"And the noodles to eat, are they really fake?" Since Guo Kaiqing entered country Y, he has eaten white rice almost as soon as he rests. This 'thread rice' doesn't like digestion very much, and it makes his stomach sour.
"Of course there's flour, and this old way is really good at enjoying it, just like you say. This Taoist priest is a Chinese-national, and I have seen his diary, ""Cleaning up the battlefield" is the strength of being a soldier. It turned out that this Taoist priest was a native of the Central Plains, who came to country Y during the turmoil, and the Central Plains people did not like to eat rice, so they would naturally prepare more flour for their own use.
"Brother Seventh is better, we bought him a lot of cooked food for him to make up," the food bought by the deputy platoon commander turned out to be for Brother Seven.
"Much better, much better, lying in the house."
Seventh brother's back injury, although the doctor did it, but the doctor said that this disease has to be recuperated, especially in the first half a month, just lie down, as soon as he saw the cooked food that he hadn't eaten for a long time, Seventh Brother wanted to sit up, but asked Guo Kaiqing to press it back.
"We won't be able to leave for a while, I heard from passers-by, the militia and guerrillas around us are scattered, they are coming to look for us, I think you have to stay here for a while, you have a disease on your waist, just take care of more, you don't care about the outside affairs for now, there are us."
"I lie down every day, I can't lie down, why don't you give me the whole chatterbox?"
"This is really not easy to do, when we entered the city just now, we didn't see anything for sale."
"Brother Seven, I've got this to do, I'll go to the city tomorrow to help you get it," the deputy platoon commander started the ticket.
Zhang Wenzhi's father, the head of the Ministry of Security had gone to work in the Soviet Union in the early years, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, my country and the Soviet Union have had nearly ten years of brotherly contacts, not only usually or at work, it is inevitable to interact with the Soviet people, which also gave the little Zhang Wenzhi a good opportunity to learn the Soviet language, at that time Zhang's father also wanted his son to learn the Soviet language well, and when he grew up, he went to study in the Soviet Union.
At first, the captured 'old Maozi' wanted to punch him a few times, and he kept talking to the soldiers who interrogated him in English, but when Zhang Wenzhi questioned him in fluent English, he immediately switched to the Soviet Chinese dialect.
"Comrade, we didn't want to hurt you, we just wanted to ask you a few questions," what 'Lao Maozi' didn't expect was that Zhang Wenzhi's pure Su Guo dialect was more authentic than what he said, and his tongue was very similar, and in desperation, he had to confess what he knew.
It is close to the mid-to-late eighties of the last century, the social contradictions in the Soviet Union are gradually complicated, in order to divert the vision of the domestic people, the Soviet government agreed to support country Y to oppose China, in the eyes of the current Soviet soldiers, there is no longer the shadow of World War II, and now they also have a new understanding of being captured, that is, being captured is also glorious, and it is not shameful to say.
In the mouth of this 'old Maozi', Zhang Wenzhi knew that he was also a member of the 'Soviet Military Advisory Group', he only knew a Chinese named Liu Hong, but he didn't know who the 'fat man' was, when asked where Liu Sheng was at this time, 'Lao Maozi' shook his head back and forth, obviously he didn't know.
Fortunately, on the garrison map of 'Jiehe County', this 'old Maozi adviser' still understands it, and on the local map obtained by the deputy platoon commander, he clearly delineated the troops of Country Y and the deployment of troops in Jiehe County.
"Comrade Su Guo, I'm glad that you are my guest today, I can assure you that we will not hurt you, but we are going to wronged you now," Zhang Wenzhi glanced left and right, and several soldiers escorted 'Lao Maozi' away.
The place where 'Lao Maozi' was imprisoned was a more secluded location, and it turned out that under the house where the Taoist priest lived, this Taoist priest from the Central Plains also dug a deep tunnel for himself, which was a dead end, but it was also very spacious, and after a slight improvement by the soldiers, a wooden fence and barbed wire were installed in a corner, which was regarded as a temporary 'cell'.
