022 Meet
Soon after Zhu Jingxing returned to the battalion headquarters, the battalion commander gave him the task of guarding around the church.
The battalion commander said; "The church's Rev. Sean is a nice guy, but a bit stubborn and pedantic. He saved many of our brothers and people, but we didn't allow people with weapons to enter the church, and we should have thanked them, so many brothers had opinions about him, but I still admired this man in my heart, at least they didn't run away. ”
"Don't talk about that. You also know that now that Burmese traitors and Japanese espionage activities are rampant, for the safety of the wounded brothers in the rear, you must shoulder the task of guarding, and you cannot relax for a moment, is it clear? ”
Zhu Jingxing leaned on his heel and said, "Yes!" I turned around and lined up the brothers in the platoon into three shifts, taking turns in three shifts, 24 hours a day, and never allowed any suspicious people to enter the church. ”
The battalion commander nodded: "Well, that's good. But this is not enough, you must know that the church is now providing food and medical assistance, not only our injured brothers, but also many ordinary people in Myanmar will also go inside to receive food or receive assistance. It is very likely that Burmese traitors and Japanese spies will be mixed in this way, and you will have to be very vigilant in this regard. ”
After listening to the battalion commander's words, Zhu Jingxing thought for a while and said, "Battalion commander, do you think this will work?" Otherwise, a few brothers and I would have entered the church without weapons and would have reacted to the situation while we were stationed in the church. ”
The battalion commander punched him and said, "You kid has a lot of ideas to read, so just do what you want." ”
As he spoke, the battalion commander handed over a pack of camel cigarettes and said, "Take it and smoke it, the Americans provided it." ”
Zhu Jingxing took it and took the pack of cigarettes, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Thank you, battalion commander!" ”
……
After contacting Pastor Sean, Zhu Jingxing found that he was really as the battalion commander said, not only pedantic but also stubborn.
After arranging the guards on the periphery, Zhu Jingxing was ready to discuss with Pastor Sean that he would take a few brothers to the church, not carrying long guns, but some weapons such as pistols and short blades, but Pastor Sean categorically refused.
He said angrily, "Sir, this is a church, this is a place of peace, and I cannot allow you to come in with a weapon, there is no room for negotiation at all. ”
"But, Reverend Sean, we're here to protect the wounded soldiers here, and as you know, there are a lot of Japanese spies working in the same ancient city right now. A few days ago, there was already an attack on our rear hospital. For God's sake, please be generous. Zhu Jingxing said in fluent English.
Pastor Sean was silent for a moment before shaking his head: "No, sir, I still can't agree to your request, please go back to your soldiers." ”
Zhu Jingxing continued to try to persuade, but Reverend Sean remained unmoved. Hu Liqun, who was standing on the side, saw that they had been arguing for a long time, and although he couldn't understand English, he probably guessed what it meant.
"Platoon Commander Zhu, why doesn't this foreigner want us to go in?" Hu Li was so angry that he wanted to be rough.
"Yes, Pastor Sean is adamant that we can't bring weapons into the church. Forget it, let's hand over the weapon. Zhu Jingxing said.
"If we don't bring a weapon, let's go in and protect a hammer? No, this old man is so fucked up, I'm going to talk to him. With that, Hu Liqun pulled out the shell gun from his waist and opened the nose of the machine, and walked towards Pastor Sean with powerful steps.
"What are you doing?" Zhu Jingxing stepped forward and stopped him. He snatched the gun from Hu Liqun's hand and said: "Pastor Sean is a good man, he has saved the lives of many of our brothers, and the wounded and people lying inside regard him as a life-saving benefactor, if you are rough with him here, not to mention that the superiors will blame, even the wounded soldiers inside will not spare you." ”
Hu Liqun listened and looked at it, and sure enough, the group of wounded soldiers and civilians all looked at him, and Pastor Sean in the crowd was talking and laughing with them. It can be seen that these people have great respect for Pastor Sean.
"If you don't let you bring it, you won't let you bring it, let's give the gun to the brothers patrolling outside. The five of us were stationed in this church in shifts, taking turns to guard and act immediately when there was anyone suspicious. After speaking, Zhu Jingxing took off the barge gun and short blade and other weapons from his waist, and only after disarming his body did he start to walk to Pastor Sean.
Reverend Sean looked at it and said, "Come in, kid." ”
……
When Zhu Jingxing and his entourage were on guard duty in Tonggu's church, at this time, Robert Pat and Su Hui, who arrived by plane, also rushed to Tonggu from Lashio.
Robert Pat felt that Tonggu was at the forefront of the battle, and that his professional sensibilities made him have to be here. For the sake of safety, the expeditionary force also sent a special escort team, but it was rejected by Su Hui and Robert Pat because they already had a competent defender by their side - Miao Aman.
I have to say that the Chinese army is very thoughtful, especially in the matter of Miao Aman. At first, neither Robert nor Su Hui thought that Miao Aman, a peasant soldier who was not good at words, was any different. However, on the way from Lashio to Tonggu, Su Hui and the others really realized the difference between this peasant soldier and his mortals.
On the way from Lashio to Tonggu, they were in a military truck sent by the Expeditionary Force Headquarters. In addition to the driver and guide, it was accompanied by five heavily armed soldiers.
Because the road was bombed by Japanese planes, there were more potholes on the road, which not only slowed down the driving speed, but also affected the life of the car. Sure enough, when halfway to a mountainous area on the road, the car did not see a single road stone, and it crashed into it and lay on its stomach.
When the driver got down, he found that the engine of the car had been hit with some problems, but fortunately there were technicians and parts that needed to be repaired, but the repair process would take at least a few hours, and it seemed that they were going to spend the night in this barren mountain.
Su Hui and the others also got out of the car, and the soldiers also helped the technician with his work. When everyone thought it was nothing, Miao Aman felt it, he felt that this place was too strange, why was there such a stone on the good road? The drivers are veterans, and if it weren't for the darkness of the road, I'm afraid they wouldn't have been able to see the stones.
Miao Aman felt strange, he was born as a hunter, so he naturally had to be cautious about any problem. While everyone else was still resting, he quickly got up and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
"You guys get up! Carrying all the guns, there's something wrong around here. Miss Su and Mr. Pat got into the car, and you continued to repair the car. Miao Aman began to give orders like a commander.
The officers and soldiers who escorted the five escorts were unimpressed, Miao Aman was just a mere high-ranking soldier, with a lower rank than them, and he didn't fight as many as them, how could he obey his orders?
Therefore, after these five soldiers heard Miao Aman's order, they were not moved at all, they should lie there and continue to rest, and no one paid attention to him.
"Damn! Let you get up and hurry up, this stone must have been deliberately placed here, and there is an ambush around here! Miao Aman was not good at communicating, so he walked over and scolded viciously.
One of the five who was a little younger stood up and scolded back, "Dog day! With whom are you playing prestige here? ”
"That's it! A small senior soldier also rushed over to pretend to be big, I don't know what his surname is? ”
The five soldiers quarreled with me word by word, but Miao Aman did not continue to quarrel with them, he knew that it was useless to quarrel. He had no choice but to walk up to Su Hui and Robert and say, "You guys go to the car, I still feel a little strange outside." ”
Su Hui nodded and followed Robert to the car, because they were the target of protection, and they had to follow Miao Aman's advice in safe work.
Just as Su Hui and Robert entered the carriage, a gunshot rang out, leaning on a soldier next to him to fall down, and then the gunfire came like a ray. The well-trained officers and soldiers immediately began to hide, and at this time, Miao Aman raised his gun to aim, and after a few gunshots, the sound on the other side was a little sparse.
The other soldiers also held their guns and fired in the direction of the gunfire on the opposite side, and the firepower of several soldiers was quite good, and they quickly suppressed the people on the opposite side, but because they didn't know how many people were on the opposite side, they didn't dare to rush in easily.
"You bring people to protect the reporters, don't leave easily, and use the car as the starting point. Master, you go ahead and repair the car, and after the repair is done, we will leave quickly. Miao Aman deployed the order again this time, but no one refuted him compared to the last time.
After speaking, Miao Aman tiptoed towards the forest with the modified Hanyang-style rifle on his own. In a few moments, he disappeared into the forest.
Then, a few crisp gunshots rang out in the dense forest, followed by a dense burst of gunfire, and after a few moments, calm returned to the jungle.
The people outside were worried, and they didn't know what happened to Miao Aman at this time. Su Hui was even more worried, the dense gunfire just now was probably more than lucky.
Just when everyone was worried, Miao Aman walked out from the depths of the dense forest. He continued to carry the Hanyang-style rifle with a scope, and applied for leisure, as if nothing had happened.
When he arrived in front of everyone, he said lightly: "It's just a few local rogues, they should have all been killed by me." But I don't know if there are any other comrades, so we have to repair the car and hurry up. ”
The car was quickly repaired, and after more than half an hour they began to set off again. This time, whether it was Su Hui, Robert, or the five officers and soldiers who accompanied him, they were all impressed by him.
