Chapter 15: Heading North
Liu Kehao and Wang Yingxiang were discharged from the hospital almost front and back.
Liu Kehao was discharged from the hospital two days earlier, and at this time he had been appointed as the head of the anti-bandit group, and the task was to return to the northeast to do the final anti-bandit work. When he received the new appointment, he was not surprised at all, because after many of his wounded comrades-in-arms were discharged from the hospital, almost none of them were arranged to return to their original units, and they either went to their places or were integrated into the new units. After the People's Liberation Army took Nanjing, it marched all the way to the south, and then to the south, and now the team has already reached Hainan Island, even if they want to return to the team, it is very difficult to catch up with the advancing team. As a result, the troops were reassigned to work according to each person's different situation.
Before Liu Kehao was discharged from the hospital, a director of the left-behind office approached him for a conversation. When he knew that he would let him go to the northeast to suppress bandits, his heart suddenly opened up. When he withdrew from the Northeast with the Kuomintang troops, he knew that there were many remnants of the Kuomintang who were defeated, and Ma Tiancheng and Shangpin of the Northeast Station of the Military Unification Bureau were ordered to stay in the Northeast, and then led a small but very capable execution team out of Shenyang City.
In that year, after he left Shenyang, he immediately reported this information to the organization in a timely manner. After such a long time, he has not forgotten the team led by Monk Ma Tiancheng. Although the Northeast was liberated, the situation there remained chaotic, with the remnants of the Kuomintang constantly harassing the new regime.
Liu Kehao can be said to have accepted the task of suppressing bandits very happily, and he is determined to capture Ma Tiancheng and Shangpin with his own hands, otherwise it will become a piece of his heart. Although at present, he does not know whether Ma Tiancheng and Shangpin are dead or alive.
Before being discharged from the hospital, he went to say goodbye to Wang Yingxiang. At present, the relationship between the two people is relatively unclear, not only can others not be clear, but even they themselves can't figure it out. It stands to reason that they have worked and lived together for so long, it should be said that they know each other well, but they have never applied for marriage; As ordinary comrades-in-arms, they cherish each other so much. This also makes the relationship between the two seem very delicate.
When Liu Kehao appeared in front of Wang Yingxiang, Wang Yingxiang had already lost her crutches and leaned against a tree at the door with her arms crossed, and she seemed to have known that he was coming.
Liu Kehao stood three or two steps away from her and said: This time we are really separated. I accepted a new assignment to return to the Northeast.
When she heard his words, she was not surprised at all, but said: Comrade Commander of the Suppression of Bandits, I congratulate you.
He didn't expect that she already knew about his mission, so he smiled at her. Ever since he learned that Li Zhi, whom she had a crush on, was married, he looked very weak in front of her, and he didn't know how he felt. In short, the feelings are complicated. For a moment, he didn't know how to say goodbye to her.
She looked at him stupidly and said, "You finally left me behind this time." Without baggage, you should be happy, right?
He scratched his head and muttered: How is that possible? In fact, we are working together, and the general direction is still good.
She tilted her face up, trying not to look at him: then you can say goodbye. When you're done saying goodbye, I'll go back to the ward to change my dressing.
He seemed to have something to say to her, but he didn't know where to start for a while, so he only said for a long time: What, take care of yourself in the future, we will definitely have a chance to meet.
After saying that, he turned around and left, not daring to look back.
She smiled contentiously at his back.
After reporting to the left-behind office, the director asked Liu Kehao to wait two days before leaving, saying that he would be given an assistant and that he would arrive in two days. He didn't ask much, for over the years, the professional habits of the military had familiarized him with obedience.
Two days later, the director of the left-behind office brought Wang Yingxiang to him and introduced with a smile: Assign her to you as an assistant, you don't object, right?
He looked at Wang Yingxiang in disbelief, and then at the director, feeling that all this seemed to be in a dream.
In fact, as early as a few days ago, Wang Yingxiang already knew about her work arrangements after being discharged from the hospital. Before the people in the detention center talked to her, she had already talked to the people in the detention center. It can be said that she went to suppress the work of bandits, which she won by herself. According to the opinion of the left-behind office, after she recovered from her injuries this time, she should stay in the local area to work. The army has already moved south, most of China has been liberated, and there is no longer a need for so many people to charge into battle, so batch after batch of outstanding cadres of the army have been transferred to local areas to participate in the construction of new China. And Wang Yingxiang is a lesbian, and the people in the detention center first considered her. When she learned of the organization's decision, she shook her head and said firmly: I don't agree!
The director looked at her in amazement.
Soon, she asked again: Has Liu Kehao also changed jobs?
The director told her that Liu Kehao had a task to suppress bandits, and he was very familiar with the situation in the northeast.
Wang Yingxiang smiled, and then said unhurriedly: Comrade Director, don't forget, I also worked in the Northeast, and I am familiar with it, why did you send him and not send me?
The director stretched out his hand and explained: The organization considers that you are a lesbian, and it is inconvenient for you to work in the army, and local work is more suitable for you.
She took off her military hat, clenched it vigorously in her hand, stared at the director of the left-behind office and said: I will definitely not change jobs. I'm not interested in local work, I'm going to stay in the army, I started fighting guerrilla warfare at the age of 14, it's been a whole ten years, and now if I leave the army, I can't live!
The director was very embarrassed. There are some things that he can't do, and he has to ask his superiors for instructions. So, he rubbed his hands in embarrassment and persuaded him stubbornly: Comrade Yingxiang, the organization of such an arrangement takes into account your personal situation.
What's the situation? Why didn't I know? Wang Yingxiang's eyes widened.
Look at you, the boss is not small, and it is time to become a family when you transfer to a local area. Going back and forth in the army is not a long-term solution, don't you say?
When Wang Yingxiang heard this, she became angry. She stood up suddenly, crossed her hands on her waist and said, "I said Comrade Director, are you afraid that I won't be able to get married?" Tell you, four-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged people are not everywhere. If I want to get married, I can get married tomorrow, believe it or not? She stared aggressively at the director.
The director hurriedly explained: I didn't mean that, your situation is really complicated, or I will report to the organization again to see if I can rearrange your work.
After that, she threw off her crutches, shook her body and went to the left-behind office every day to grind the director, so that the director was afraid to see her. In the end, the organization decided to let her be Liu Kehao's assistant and serve as the deputy head of the bandit suppression group. This arrangement also takes into account that she has worked in the Northeast and has partnered with Liu Kehao at the same time. To be exact, she got the news before Liu Kehao.
When she appeared in front of Liu Kehao, looking at him with a look of confusion and incomprehension, she said proudly: What's wrong? I didn't expect it, I wanted to dump me, it's not that easy! Dude, upset aren't you?
This result was so sudden for Liu Kehao, he never dreamed that the assistant assigned to him by the organization was Wang Yingxiang again. He really stammered.
The director smiled and said: Comrade Kehao, are you still satisfied?
Liu Kehao stammered: I, I obey the decision of the organization.
Wang Yingxiang looked at Liu Kehao and smiled, it was a victorious expression.
In fact, after Liu Kehao said goodbye to Wang Yingxiang, he was always sad in his heart, a little empty, and a little empty. He couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Wang Yingxiang, from the northeast to Jinan and Xuzhou, the two of them had almost never separated, quarreled and quarreled, as if this kind of dispute had become a part of their lives. When working within the enemy, they appear as husband and wife, but when they return home, they are comrades again, maintaining the distance between the opposite sex. But after all, on such days, they are also in one place for two or three years, and the changes and interlacing of roles and emotions often make the two people in a trance. Suddenly, the separation of the two made them feel a little awkward for a while, because so far, they have not been completely separated, and they have not experienced the taste of parting.
When he realized that Wang Yingxiang was in love with Li Zhi, he was in turmoil; And after he knew that Li Zhi had a lover Liu Yang, his heart was calm again, like the water in the afternoon, not alarmed. In short, he was feeling her and observing her with an extremely complex emotion. He did not have the energy to experience all this while working inside the enemy; On the battlefield, he didn't have time to figure it out, and sorting out his emotions should be said to be during the period of recuperation. It's not realistic to say that it's been sorted out, but during this time, he thinks about her a little more often.
The political commissar of the bandit suppression group, named Xie Zhong, is in his early thirties. Xie Zhong looked like he was knowledgeable, wearing glasses and a small flat head. He should be the oldest leader in the bandit suppression group, and he has the most experience, when the Red Army marched to Lazikou, Xie Zhong joined the army.
Before joining the army, he was a teacher in Lazikou. After the Red Army's Long March arrived in northern Shaanxi, he was sent to the Anti-Japanese Military and Political University to study, and then went deep behind enemy lines to open up base areas, serving as a platoon commander and instructor. Later, the civil war broke out, and in these eight years, he had grown into a qualified regimental commissar.
Political Commissar Xie Zhong is a very kind person on the surface, and no matter how urgent it is to him, he will sort it out in an orderly manner. You're a leopard with a temper, and you can't be in a hurry if you want to.
After the bandit group left for the northeast, they realized that this would be another battlefield. The mountains in the northeast are high and densely forested, and most of the bandits are hidden in the mountains. One in the light, the other in the dark, it takes some effort to destroy these remnants.
As the first region to be liberated, most of the northeast is already a peaceful scene, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and a brand-new political power is slowly being erected on the land of the northeast.
In this case, the bandits are not willing to be lonely and want to take advantage of this peaceful and prosperous world. In the early days of liberation, the composition of bandits in Northeast China was very complicated, and there were local bandits, and they had already pulled their flags and reported before the Japanese came; There are also some people who have been puppet soldiers or traitors for the Japanese, and after the Japanese surrender, they understand that they will not end well, so they pull up their men and horses and hide in the ravine. And the most important force here was the remnants of the Kuomintang that had been scattered, which were preserved in an organized way and hid in the mountains to fight guerrillas. The Kuomintang has not yet been completely defeated, and naturally they will not admit such a reality, and even intend to rely on these stragglers, vowing to regain the lost ground in the future. These remnants of the Kuomintang were well-armed, some of them had light artillery and radio stations, and they kept in touch with the Chongqing side at all times, and the Chongqing side also promised many empty promises to these defenders and appointed many lieutenant generals and commissioners.
In order to cheer up the lieutenant generals and commissioners, the Kuomintang also sent planes and airdropped a large amount of supplies and weapons and equipment. As a result, these defeated generals seemed to see the dawn of victory, and for a while their emotions were high, waiting for an opportunity in the mountains and forests. They constantly harassed local **, kidnapped and assassinated Communist Party cadres and masses. Even in order to gain a foothold in the Northeast for a long time, they spared no effort to co-opt mountain bandits, most of whom had murders, and they knew very well in their hearts that no matter who was in power, they would not have their good fruits to eat. In this way, under the inspiration of these defeated Kuomintang generals with deep pockets and well-armed weapons, most of them surrendered. For a time, bandits in the northeast were endless, and there was a miasma of black smoke everywhere, which made the new regime restless.
The work of suppressing bandits in the northeast is imminent. In the southward march, more than a dozen regiments of troops were transferred back to the northeast to carry out the arduous work of suppressing bandits.
Liu Kehao's anti-bandit group is a member of the anti-bandit army. They were ordered to be stationed at the foot of Mao'er Mountain, where bandits were rampant, and a few days earlier they had kidnapped District Chief Li and his guards to the mountain for a meeting in the province. Three days later, Mayor Li's head was hung from a tree outside the city.
The local armed forces once entered the mountains to encircle and suppress them, and fought fiercely in the mountains for three days, but finally retreated because they were outnumbered, and dozens of people were killed or wounded.
Wang Yingxiang heard these things as soon as she arrived at Mao'er Mountain, she jumped down from her horse, carried her gun upside down, crossed her waist with one hand, and pointed at Mao'er Mountain with the other hand and shouted: You wait, in less than three days, I will let you all climb out one by one.
Political Commissar Xie did not look in a hurry, he asked the staff officer to unfold the map, and marked every village and road one by one. He called Liu Kehao and Wang Yingxiang together to discuss the plan for deploying the battle.
Wang Yingxiang didn't like Political Commissar Xie's practice of talking on paper, she waved her hand: I don't have time to talk about this idle day, you give an order, I will take the lead, if you don't catch a few alive and come back, you will remove me!
The result of the deliberations of several people was that in order to be foolproof, it was first necessary to find out the enemy's strength and garrison. In this way, it is necessary to catch the tongue. At this time, Liu Kehao asked the political commissar to fight, and he had to go out in person to catch the tongue, because he was once in the reconnaissance company and had a full grasp of catching the tongue.
Wang Yingxiang disagrees with Liu Kehao's opinion, because she has fought guerrillas, carried over Japanese turrets, and has sufficient experience behind enemy lines, so she has to go if she wants to go.
The two argued, and the ball was kicked to Commissar Xie. Political Commissar Xie is the secretary of the party committee of the anti-bandit group, and Liu Kehao and Wang Yingxiang are both party members.
Political Commissar Xie lifted the glasses on his face and analyzed: Commander Liu is the chief officer of the regiment, and he will go in person, if there is a mistake, who will be responsible for leading the troops to fight?
His proposal was immediately responded to by Wang Yingxiang enthusiastically, and she echoed: How can there be a reason for the chief official to appear in such a trivial matter? If you want to go, you have to be me.
At this time, Political Commissar Xie turned his head to Wang Yingxiang and said: Although Deputy Head Wang is not the chief officer, he is a lesbian. When a female comrade enters the mountain, the enemy will be suspicious, what if she can't catch her tongue and is caught by the enemy?
Speaking of this, Political Commissar Xie straightened up, looked at the two of them and said: I don't think it's appropriate for any of you to go, or I'll go!
As soon as Political Commissar Xie finished speaking, he was strongly opposed by two people, and their reasons were very sufficient, after all, this was a military operation, and it was not a big move, but there was no reason to let a political cadre go out. For a while, the three of them had their own opinions, and they never came up with a result.
Political Commissar Xie finally slapped the table and said: Then think about it again and see if there is a more suitable way?
When the two of them walked out of Political Commissar Xie's dormitory and office, the sky was already full of stars. Wang Yingxiang stretched out her arm and said with a grin: What else do you want to study this little thing, let me take a few people to go to the mountain at dawn, and ensure that before the sun sets, I will catch a few alive and come back.
Liu Kehao also felt that it was a matter of no further ado, in order to fight a sure battle, grab a few tongues and come back, and it was imperative to make some situations. He didn't want to hesitate any longer, so he had a plan, pulled Wang Yingxiang into a corner, and whispered: Do you really want to go?
Wang Yingxiang said inexplicably: Of course. This is my own action.
Liu Kehao pretended to think for a while and said: It's okay, then I won't fight with you. You take three people and set off in an hour.
Wang Yingxiang looked at him and asked with a little worry: Can the political commissar pass there?
Liu Kehao said briskly: I am the political commissar there. You go and prepare, go to the third camp and choose a few people.
Wang Yingxiang was suddenly moved by Liu Kehao's decision, she stretched out her hand, grabbed his arm and shook it and said: Kehao, I didn't cooperate with you in vain, or you know me best.
After saying that, he ran away without looking back.
Liu Kehao smiled mysteriously, and also turned around and disappeared into the night.
Wang Yingxiang went to the third battalion to transfer troops, and Liu Kehao turned around and went to the first battalion. An hour later, Wang Yingxiang quietly led three soldiers out of the village and advanced towards Mao'er Mountain. As soon as he walked out of the entrance of the village, a few black shadows came out of the shadows not far away, and he couldn't help but say something, so he took down several people, including Wang Yingxiang, tied them to a few trees at the entrance of the village, and gagged them with towels.
Only then did Wang Yingxiang see that it was Liu Kehao who stuffed a towel in her mouth, and she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say it, so she could only kick him with her foot to vent the anger in her heart.
When Liu Kehao finished doing this, he ordered the two soldiers around him: The two of you are responsible for standing guard for Deputy Regiment Commander Wang and others, and you can't release people before dawn. Break the discipline, and see me punish you.
The two warriors said in unison: Be sure to obey orders.
Liu Kehao came to Wang Yingxiang again, patted her on the shoulder and said: Deputy Head Wang, I have wronged you. Goodbye –
After speaking, he waved his hand into the shadows, and the three soldiers, dressed as civilians, took advantage of the night to touch Mao'er Mountain unconsciously and unnoticed.
The two native soldiers did as they obeyed the commander's order, and the rooster crowed three times, and when the sun was half a face emerging from behind Mao'er Mountain, they loosened the ropes from several people. The first thing Wang Yingxiang did when she loosened the tie was to pull the towel stuffed in her mouth, and while spitting fiercely on the ground, she pointed in the direction of Mao'er Mountain and scolded: Liu Kehao, you liar, you dare to play me! See how I clean you up, unless you don't come back.
A few other soldiers who had loosened their ties cautiously gathered around and asked pitifully, "Deputy Regiment Commander Wang, are we still going to scratch our tongues?"
Catch a ghost! Wang Yingxiang dropped a sentence and walked towards the regiment headquarters without looking back.
When Wang Yingxiang broke into Political Commissar Xie's dormitory, Political Commissar Xie was washing his face and brushing his teeth, he was startled by her anger, and hurriedly asked: What's wrong?
Wang Yingxiang said in a sigh: Liu Kehao violated discipline, you have to punish him!
After Political Commissar Xie understood the situation, he walked around the house a few times with his hands behind his back, and he was really angry: This Liu Kehao is indeed not like words!
Wang Yingxiang stood aside, stared at Political Commissar Xie's expression and said: Then do you punish him or not?
If you don't punish him, you have to wait for him to come back! Now the top priority is to take over the head of Liu, he only brought a few people, he is not familiar with the place, and if there is an accident, you and I can't explain it to the organization.
Political Commissar Xie's words reminded Wang Yingxiang, and she immediately got up and said: I will go to assemble the team immediately.
The team marched towards Mao'er Mountain in several ways. In order to meet Liu Kehao, the team took the squad as a unit, spread a net, and headed head-on towards the mountain.
Liu Kehao appeared in the sight of the receiving team in the afternoon. Several people dressed up as ordinary people, and the one at the front was a strangely dressed person, with a Kuomintang military uniform on his upper body, but his trousers were cloth pants worn by ordinary people, and his hair and beard grew wildly, as if he had been pulled out of the soil.
Wang Yingxiang was the first to appear in front of Liu Kehao, and she looked at him coldly: Head Liu, you are quite calculating!
Liu Kehao smiled apologetically: I'm sorry to offend.
Wang Yingxiang snorted, didn't speak again, turned around and beat the horse and left.
She returned to the station and went straight to Commissar Xie. She put on a posture of preparing for a protracted battle, took off her shoes, and sat cross-legged on the kang. Political Commissar Xie on the side rubbed his hands in a hurry.
Wang Yingxiang said with an iron mouth and a steel tooth: Comrade Political Commissar, Liu Kehao has violated discipline, don't you say?
Political Commissar Xie replied with a wry expression: That's for sure, but his starting point is still good.
Is he still right? She asked, puzzled.
There are definitely mistakes, and he must be allowed to review them at the party meeting.
Just the review is over? I can't see enough, I should punish him. It is also necessary to report this matter to his superiors, such a serious mistake, he should be dismissed. She looked unrelenting.
Political Commissar Xie calmed down and said: He has violated the principles of the organization while doing things well, and I think it is enough to help within the organization.
Wang Yingxiang leaned on the kang head, kept rubbing her wrists, she was tied up for half a night last night, and now she is angry when she thinks about it, she said angrily: Comrade Political Commissar, I have an opinion on how to deal with Liu Kehao. He went and went, and tied up his comrades-in-arms, what kind of class feelings do you say he is?
Political Commissar Xie put his hands behind his back and began to pace in the room again, pacing and saying: It's too unusual, how can he treat his comrades like this. Speaking of this, he stopped pacing, raised his head, and said offensively: Comrade Wang Yingxiang, you are also wrong in this matter.
Wang Yingxiang's eyes widened: What was wrong with me?
Political Commissar Xie said slowly: Didn't you take people and want to scratch your tongue? If Liu Kehao doesn't go, it means that you go, from the starting point, it's all good intentions; Judging by the process, both of you have mistakes.
Hearing what Political Commissar Xie said, Wang Yingxiang lowered his head and said in a low voice: I take my responsibility, and he bears his responsibility.
That's right! Political Commissar Xie clapped his hands and said.
Liu Kehao was personally interrogating the captured tongues, not only examining the enemy's strength and garrison, but also getting a shocking piece of news - the bandits in the area of Maoershan were an armed force composed of Ma Tiancheng and Shangpin, the Northeast Station of the Military Command.
He ran out of the regiment headquarters and shouted Wang Yingxiang's name loudly. At this time, Wang Yingxiang still hated him, with a thick frost on his face, and walked over in the slanted thorns, pretending to be surprised and said: Head Liu, what's the matter, can you still think of me?
Liu Kehao's face was excited: Yingxiang, do you know who the bandit leader of Maoershan is?
Wang Yingxiang said nonchalantly: How do I know? I didn't scratch the tongue.
Liu Kehao said word by word: Tell you, it is Ma Tiancheng and Shangpin.
Hearing this, Wang Yingxiang's eyes widened in shock. I thought that the two of them had been wiped out a long time ago, but they didn't admit it and became bandits and fled here. According to the information provided by the tongue, the bandit group must immediately enter the mountain, otherwise, the enemy will find out that something has happened, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
A team of nearly 1,000 bandits marched into Mao'er Mountain at dawn.
The battle was fought around noon. towards.
After all, it is a regular army, and in the face of these bandits who are panicked all day long, it can be said that it did not make them spend too much effort, and in just one hour, the bandits on the mountain collapsed. Soon, part of it was wiped out, and the other obediently surrendered.
Liu Kehao's biggest interest was to catch Ma Tiancheng and Shangpin, but he didn't see the shadow of the two people in the end. He asked the soldiers to take a small leader of the team to a tree for interrogation, only to learn that Ma Tiancheng and Shangpin had disappeared yesterday afternoon, and no one knew where they had gone. He interrogated several captives in a row, and the results were very different.
It seems that the cunning monk Ma Tiancheng expected that the overall situation had been decided, and quietly slipped away before the bandit group attacked the mountain. Liu Kehao felt regretful, Wang Yingxiang also sighed, she decided to take the team to search the mountain, but was persuaded by Liu Kehao. Now the bandits are scattered, and it is not easy to find two people in this reckless forest.
The work of suppressing bandits lasted for more than half a year, and the bandits around Shenyang disappeared.
The bandit group was ordered to enter the city.
When the troops first entered the city, they seemed to have nothing to do, and they were only responsible for social security on a daily basis, or they were doing some training. In the days when there was no war, Wang Yingxiang felt very sad, and when she was lonely, she easily thought of Li Zhi. Now that the whole country has been basically liberated, Li Zhi must have lived a happy life at this time, right?
During that time, there were people in the army who got married in three days. The pigs were killed, the sheep were slaughtered, and it was as lively as a festival. The previous troops have been fighting, fighting in the south and the north, fighting in the east and killing in the west, and people rarely have the opportunity to fall in love, and even if they do, there is no suitable partner. Now, the troops have entered the city, and although the city in peacetime is in ruins, it is also full of flowers and willows, and it is lively, so a group of older army cadres ushered in love and marriage. Wave after wave of people, under a simple ceremony, got married one after another.
After entering the city, Political Commissar Xie and Liu Kehao and Wang Yingxiang inevitably went to drink other people's happy wine. Today's comrades-in-arms of this regiment are married, and tomorrow's comrades-in-arms of that division are married again, and at weddings, wine is indispensable, all of them are people who have fought battles, and they are not afraid of death, are they still afraid of drinking? The three of them often go around the banquet non-stop, and the wine is drunk proudly and happily.
Political Commissar Xie's lover also came from Tianjin, they were the family of Tianjin when Tianjin was liberated, and his lover's name was Li Fen, who used to be a female worker in a textile factory in Tianjin. When Li Fen came, he also brought his son who had just been born, and his son's name was Chief Xie Fu, which was the name given by Political Commissar Xie.
When he was free, Wang Yingxiang went to Political Commissar Xie's house to tease Xie Fu. The child laughed as soon as he teased, smiling with joy and eyes, which was very popular with Wang Yingxiang. After a long time, Wang Yingxiang became familiar with Li Fen, and when asked about the ages of the two people, she knew that she was two years older than Li Fen. Li Fen sighed: Sister Wang, you are not young anymore, those male officers have all got married, you should also pay attention. It's late, and the good ones are picked up.
As soon as Li Fen said this, she thought of Li Zhi again, and somewhere in her heart actually hurt faintly. But she still smiled and said: It's okay, let's wait two years.
When Li Fen saw Wang Yingxiang say this, she didn't want to say more.
When Political Commissar Xie returned home, Li Fen told him what he thought. Political Commissar Xie is also worried about this matter these days. When he first came to the bandit group, he knew something about the personal situation of Liu Kehao and Wang Yingxiang, and he always thought that after all, the two of them had such a special experience, and it was only a matter of time before they finally came together. But after later observation, he found that the two people really didn't mean that way, and when they got together, they still quarreled at every turn, often blushing and thick-necked. Now that the troops have entered the city, his wife and children have also come to him from Tianjin, from participating in the revolution to the present, this period can be said to be the happiest time for Political Commissar Xie. Political Commissar Xie was in happiness, and he couldn't help but think of the two unhappy men and women in front of him, so he felt uneasy; And the unsettling result is that he has to think about lifelong events for the two of them.
Political Commissar Xie was a man with a heart, and whenever he had time, he carried a small book with him in his pocket, and went from regiment to regiment to inquire about the situation of those unmarried officers. One day, he found Wang Yingxiang, flipped through the small notebook and said: Comrade Yingxiang, look at this, this is Comrade Liu Yong, the head of the Third Regiment, who is Chinese New Year's Eve six today, has participated in the Long March and the Anti-Japanese War, and there is no problem with people.
He said again: Why don't you look at this, this is the political commissar of the Fifth Regiment, his lover died during the Long March, and he is still alone......
Wang Yingxiang stared at Political Commissar Xie and asked solemnly: Political Commissar, is this also a task?
Political Commissar Xie scratched his head and said: I dare not say the task, in short, this is also a job. It's not a small boss, start a family early, and start a business early.
Political Commissar Xie also said: If we don't solve the personal problems between you and Regiment Leader Liu, I, the political commissar, will not be able to do a good job. The higher-level leaders have criticized me, Comrade Yingxiang, please support the work of the political commissar.
Wang Yingxiang could only say lukewarmly: Anyway, I don't know these people, I can see anyone.
Okay, then I'll call the shots for you, this one doesn't work, let's see the next one.
Since then, Wang Yingxiang has started a vigorous love action.
The way of meeting was very militaristic, with both sides carrying guns and riding horses, either on the mountain bag or on the playground of the barracks. She rode up from the side of the mountain, and the other side copied up from the side of the mountain, as if she had seized the mountain. Then the two men reined in their horses, and looked up and down at a glance as if they were three or five paces apart. They are all military styles, they all like to go straight, and they are not romantic at all.
Are you Liu Yong of the Third Regiment? She asked.
I am Liu Yong, the commander of the third regiment, and I have been in the army Chinese New Year's Eve for 15 years since I joined the army today. His answer was simpler and more straightforward.
Then the two men jumped off their horses and walked down the hillside. Two horses faithfully followed behind.
For some reason, as soon as she saw a man, she would compare him with Li Zhi and Liu Kehao. Before seeing these men, she had already sworn in her heart that if she wanted to find a man who was more perfect than Li Zhi and Liu Kehao, otherwise she would not look for it. She also didn't understand why she was using these two men as a yardstick, maybe it was a subconscious.
She looked up and down at the man named Liu Yong. From the outside, the man in front of her was a little shorter than Li Zhi and Liu Kehao, and she sighed heavily in her heart. The other party still said enthusiastically: What, you Xie Political Commissar told you all about your situation, you have done underground work, it is not simple! I've heard that working underground is more dangerous than being on the battlefield, right?
She said lightly: It's nothing, isn't it just work.
Liu Yong said again: You are doing underground work with Liu Kehao, right? I am familiar with Liu Kehao, he was born as a reconnaissance company commander, and he is quite good. The two of you have been together for so long, and you don't have any feelings?
She couldn't listen anymore, stared at the other party and said solemnly: Comrade Liu Yong, what do you mean by this? Liu Kehao and I are revolutionary comrades, and it is not as complicated as you think.
Liu Yong explained embarrassedly: I didn't mean that, I heard from others that many comrades who do underground work are together in the name of husband and wife, and later they all got married.
She immediately pulled her face down, led the horse, and said: Comrade Liu Yong, we don't have a common language, you go find someone else.
After speaking, he flew on his horse and disappeared on the other side of the mountain bag with a puff of smoke.
Leaving Liu Yong, who looked dazed, to stay there.
After losing the first battle, Wang Yingxiang, who was holding back her anger, thought: Just such a grinding man, still want to marry me? To hell with it.
She had no place to vent the evil breath in her heart, so she hit the horse's ass hard, and the horse galloped all the way.
Political Commissar Xie, who was waiting for news in the barracks, saw Wang Yingxiang coming back with a whip, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked: What is the matter? Captain Liu is a good person.
She replied coldly: Not bad? Yes, his heart and eyes are about to keep up with women. I doubt him, how did he lead the troops to fight for so many years?
Political Commissar Xie didn't need to ask again, he understood, this time it was Wang Yingxiang who didn't take a fancy to others. He took out the notebook from his bosom and read it to her one after another. Wang Yingxiang was too lazy to listen, waved his hand and said: It's the same when you see everyone, if you don't marry me, it seems that you are unwilling. Okay, I'll listen to you, see—
Wang Yingxiang put on a broken and broken look, and Political Commissar Xie immediately came to her spirit again, and soon helped her make an appointment with the next man.
This time I saw the deputy head of the Sixth Regiment, who was in his early thirties and surnamed Cao. The place where the two men met was about to be in the playground of the barracks.
On this day, the weather was nice and cloudless. Occasionally, a line of soldiers walked by on the playground.
Deputy Head Cao had a modest attitude, he had never dealt with a woman at first glance, and he looked very restrained, rubbing his hands for a while and scratching his head for a while. Deputy Head Cao finally rubbed his hands and said: Comrade Wang Yingxiang, you have made such rapid progress, and your position at such a young age is the same as mine.
Wang Yingxiang still had a lukewarm expression: I'm not young, I'm twenty-five, and we, Political Commissar Xie, are afraid that I won't be able to get married.
Deputy Head Cao said: How come? Your conditions are so good.
Just as Deputy Head Cao was rubbing her hands and scratching her head, she had already compared him with Li Zhi and Liu Kehao in her heart. From the outside, he was compared, his body was thin, he spoke and acted like a woman, and he hesitated. She knew that she would not have any story with him, so she looked up at the white sun.
Deputy Head Cao said to himself: I heard that you and Liu Kehao have done underground work together, why are you two ......
Before he finished speaking, Wang Yingxiang interrupted him and said: Do you think it is more appropriate for me to be with Liu Kehao?
Deputy Head Cao immediately said: That's not what it meant. I think this is quite strange, you have been working and living together for so long, you should be walking together?
She didn't want to stay any longer, so she turned around and walked two steps, turned her back to Deputy Head Cao and said, "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, so I'll go first."
As soon as she returned to the dormitory, she threw herself into bed. She was so depressed that she was dying, thinking: What's the matter, how can I see a man who is not as good as one?
Just when Wang Yingxiang was on a vigorous blind date, Liu Kehao was not idle under the arrangement of Political Commissar Xie.
Political Commissar Xie first asked Liu Kehao to do work, and he said: Kehao, you are not too small, the army has now entered the city, and the whole country has been liberated, you should think about personal matters.
Liu Kehao said half-truthfully: How old am I?
Political Commissar Xie looked at him seriously: It's not too small.
Then it's time for me to start a family?
Political Commissar Xie nodded: It's time. Deputy Head Wang, I've done a lot for her, and it's time for you to take action.
Liu Kehao looked at the ceiling and thought about it, as if he remembered something: You mean Wang Yingxiang is on a blind date, right?
Political Commissar Xie was very pleased with Liu Kehao's change of attitude: Yes! Deputy Head Wang has a very good attitude, and every time I arrange for her to meet, she can actively cooperate.
Liu Kehao's gaze finally fell on Political Commissar Xie's face: Political Commissar, I listen to you. You arrange it, I'll see.
Before that, he had never thought about starting a family, even though he was twenty-nine. In the past few years, I have been fighting, either working inside the enemy, and time has slipped by in the blink of an eye, but the memory is still stuck in the younger days, and I always feel that I am still young, and it is still early to start a family! What's more, he has never experienced the feeling of home, although he is acting when he works with Wang Yingxiang, but the content of life is the same. In his subconscious, family is nothing more than that, so the idea of starting a family is not urgent in his heart at all.
After the troops entered the city, he would often and constantly attend the weddings of his comrades. When the newcomer toasted everyone with a red face, he always had an illusion, and stabbed the political commissar Xie next to him with his hand and said: They are real, right?
Political Commissar Xie was watching the excitement and was fascinated, so he said without thinking: This marriage can still be fake, what do you Liu Kehao think?
Under the careful arrangement of Political Commissar Xie, Liu Kehao met with a female soldier surnamed Yang of the Shiwen Art Troupe.
Yang Nubing looks like she is twenty-one or twelve years old, her eyes are big and bright, and she still has a thick black braid, and she looks very playful. Maybe it was the first time that Yang Nubing experienced such a scene, she looked very shy, she didn't know where to put her hands and feet, her face was red, and her head hung down.
Liu Kehao felt that Yang Nubing was very interesting, and very interesting. Although he didn't have such an experience, looking at Yang Nubing's appearance, the advantages in his heart were immediately manifested. He stared at other people's braids and asked: Your braids are so long, they don't get in the way of war?
Yang Nubing kicked a stone under her feet and said: This is what our regiment commander asked us to keep, and he said that acting is useful.
Tell me what kind of plays you've played?
"Brother and Sister Wasteland" and "White-Haired Girl", haven't you seen me act?
After listening to the words of the female soldier, he felt that she was really interesting.
He still wanted to say something to her, but he couldn't find a topic for a while, so he casually said: There will be no war in the future, what are you going to do?
She shook the braid on her chest, tilted her head and said: Listen to the organization's arrangement.
Then you see that I am also organized, right? He stifled a smile and looked at her earnestly.
It was our regimental commander who asked me to come. He said you're a hero, let me come and meet you. Her head was still bowed, and she never dared to look at him.
He felt that the game was over, so he said, "Then you can go back." When you tell your regimental commander, you say that you are done.
Then I'm leaving! Only then did the female soldier take a serious look at him, then turned around and jumped away.
He let out a long sigh of relief and walked back to the station.
Liu Kehao and Wang Yingxiang, under the careful arrangement of Political Commissar Xie, launched round after round of charges towards their respective loves, and the result was to return home. Compared to two people, it doesn't matter who they see or don't see, the important thing is that they both put on a posture of deep love for love, as if every time they go out to meet someone, it is not for themselves, but to let the other party see that they are also in love. Therefore, before the two of them went out on a date, they looked very exaggerated.
Before Liu Kehao went out, he would ask the guards to bring washing water, wash in the yard, and then call the guards for a while to hand over the pancreas, and take a towel for a while. The guards ran in and out again and again, and when many subordinates saw it, they stopped and asked with concern: "Commander, what are you doing here?"
Liu Kehao said in a loud voice: Political Commissar Xie introduced me to a target, it is from the Third Division Art Troupe, I heard that he is beautiful and not bad, let me go and meet him.
The subordinates smiled, and then sincerely wished: Head Liu, I hope this success is true.
Liu Kehao slurped the water in the basin and said with a smile: That's nature, when did I, Liu Kehao, fail?
The subordinates greeted with a grin: That's it, I wish the head of the regiment success!
When Liu Kehao said this in a loud voice, his eyes glanced at Wang Yingxiang's dormitory from time to time. The door was closed most of the time, and Liu Kehao was a little wilted, but he knew that Wang Yingxiang must have heard it.
Sometimes just as he was about to go out, Wang Yingxiang's door suddenly opened. She hugged her shoulders, leaned against the door frame, and tilted her head to look at Liu Kehao.
When Liu Kehao saw Wang Yingxiang, he said matter-of-factly: What, Deputy Commander Wang, I'll go out for a while, and you can take care of the work in the regiment.
Wang Yingxiang pursed her lips and said: Head Liu, when will you invite us to drink the wedding wine? Lao Xie and I were so hungry that our saliva flowed out.
Liu Kehao scratched his scalp and said: It's not easy to drink wedding wine, maybe I see you this time, and you can drink it in a few days. Well, you can save your stomach and wait at home.
The guard Xiao Li had been waiting for a long time, and then he trotted over and led the horse. Liu Kehao turned over and ran away with the guards like a gust of wind.
When it was Wang Yingxiang's turn to go on a blind date, it was also restless.
She left the dorm door open and went in and out over and over again. Before leaving, she also deliberately knocked on the door of Political Commissar Xie, let go of her throat and said: Political Commissar, then I will go!
Political Commissar Xie was reading the information, and when he heard Wang Yingxiang's words, he raised his wrist and looked at his watch and said: Go quickly, or it will be late, Commander Wu is an impatient, and he doesn't like people who are late.
Wang Yingxiang smiled and said: It's too late, my horse is running fast.
Seeing that she was not in a hurry, Political Commissar Xie was a little anxious: Let's go, let's go. Have a good chat with Captain Wu, that's a good man in a hundred.
She was still not in a hurry, and calmly knocked on Liu Kehao's door, and said with a grin: Head Liu, ask for a leave of absence from you, I will solve lifelong matters this time, and you will take care of more at home. What's the matter, let's come back and discuss it again.
Liu Kehao squinted his eyes and looked at her and said: Okay, I wish you success. The commissar and I are waiting to drink your wedding wine.
She waved her hand: Wine is indispensable to you. Then I'll go.
Then, beckoning for the guard to lead the horse, he rode up with a slightly exaggerated movement.
The two of them went on a blind date again and again, but every time they came back, they returned in vain. First, Wang Yingxiang said to Liu Kehao without words: Did you see it today? When will you drink your favorite wine?
Liu Kehao coped impatiently: Soon, I'm not in a hurry, what are you in a hurry?
Wang Yingxiang laughed, hugged her arms, and looked like she didn't care about herself.
When it was Wang Yingxiang's turn to come back with a slumped head, Liu Kehao came up again, and didn't say much, first whistled a few times, and then smiled: What's the matter? Look at the way you look, people don't take a fancy to you.
Wang Yingxiang was on fire, and she held back the anger in her stomach and had nowhere to sprinkle it, so she said with a face that was not a face and a nose that was not a nose: Liu Kehao, you don't tremble, what does it matter to you if I fall in love or not?
It doesn't matter, of course it doesn't matter. I care about you, don't forget, we've been partners for so long, but we're comrades in arms who are born and die.
It's good that Liu Kehao doesn't mention his partner, but the mention of these two words makes her angry - every time she meets the man, Liu Kehao is mentioned like a shadow. And as soon as people asked this, her nameless fire jumped up, thinking: I am in love and married, what does it have to do with Liu Kehao? Why are people always so interested in him?
This time, she seemed to have found a breakthrough all of a sudden, and when she saw Liu Kehao asking, she threw away the reins, chased him into the house, pointed to his nose and said: Liu Kehao, do you know why I can't meet a partner?
Liu Kehao nodded: Is that because your vision is high, you can't look down on others?
Wang Yingxiang said angrily; It's not all because of you.
Liu Kehao said innocently: You can't talk about what it has to do with me, and I don't object to you. Political Commissar Xie and I support your relationship.
Wang Yingxiang sat down and looked at him with slanted eyes: You ruined my name; Sound.
Liu Kehao was confused, he looked at Wang Yingxiang in a daze, and opened his mouth to say: How can you say this, I have never said anything bad about you.
Wang Yingxiang slapped the table: Because I have been a fake husband and wife with you, everyone thinks I am your person.
When Liu Kehao heard this, he suddenly realized that the problem was serious, he stood up abruptly and said: How is this possible, the organization will prove it to you, and I can also prove it to you, we are comrades-in-arms and have no other relationship.
Wang Yingxiang looked at him with tears in her eyes. As soon as he saw her tears, his heart softened, and at first he gloated over her failure to fall in love again and again, and as long as she couldn't talk, he was happy. At this time, seeing her like this, he was a little embarrassed.
Wang Yingxiang's attitude suddenly hardened, and even said a little unreasonably: Tell you Liu Kehao, you are responsible for my happiness.
Liu Kehao couldn't sit still any longer, and he immediately found Political Commissar Xie to make a report. Political Commissar Xie also looked very serious, but he couldn't think of a good way for a while.
Liu Kehao said without hesitation: If you don't let the organization give a proof, I will also write an explanation to Comrade Wang Yingxiang to prove that the relationship between the two of us is innocent.
Political Commissar Xie was amused by his words, he pointed at Liu Kehao and said: Commander Liu, you are really smart, and you are confused for a while. How to open this certificate, you let Wang Yingxiang take the certificate to fall in love, you can figure it out.
Liu Kehao ran out of ideas for a while. Looking at Political Commissar Xie walking around the house, his eyes were dizzy: Old Xie, don't go. You're making me dizzy, think of a way!
Political Commissar Xie patted his head, and sure enough, he had a way, he said to himself: Look at my brain, it's just dark under the lamp, things only see the surface, but don't see their essence.
Liu Kehao didn't understand: Lao Xie, what are you talking about?
Political Commissar Xie pulled a chair and sat opposite Liu Kehao, and asked with bright eyes: Head Liu, you and Comrade Wang Yingxiang have cooperated for the longest time, what do you think of her?
Liu Kehao said without hesitation: Needless to say, she has a firm position, fights bravely, and is a good comrade.
Where else? Political Commissar Xie stared at him and asked.
He is enthusiastic, cares about his comrades, and is not afraid of sacrifice. In short, she has a lot of advantages, people don't say. Lao Xie, I don't understand, why don't those people look down on her?
Political Commissar Xie said thoughtfully: Those people don't look down on her, they don't understand her!
After a pause, Political Commissar Xie continued: Comrade Kehao, what is your criteria for choosing a lover?
Liu Kehao was confused for a while, and said casually: Of course you have to be a good comrade.
Do you think Wang Yingxiang is not a good comrade? Political Commissar Xie threw down a sentence while the iron was hot.
Of course it's a good comrade, I didn't say it.
At this time, Political Commissar Xie patted his thigh and said: If you want to fall in love with Wang Yingxiang, are you willing? You have to tell the truth, don't be sloppy.
Liu Kehao was a little dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.
Political Commissar Xie asked again: Do you think Wang Yingxiang is enough for your standards?
Liu Kehao's face flushed, and the thick fog in his heart was suddenly dispelled by Political Commissar Xie, and his eyes suddenly became much brighter. It turned out that he had seen so many female comrades, and the reason why he was never tempted was found at once, and he kept comparing those female comrades with Wang Yingxiang. It's not that they're bad, it's that they're not Wang Yingxiang.
Political Commissar Xie suddenly realized: I think you and Wang Yingxiang are the most suitable. You see, I've been working all these days! Kehao, give me a happy word, do you think Wang Yingxiang is suitable for you?
Liu Kehao was hesitant, and his heart was clear, but it was still difficult to say it from his mouth.
Political Commissar Xie said: Look at you, why did you become like a lesbian. Happily speaking, will it work?
Liu Kehao lowered his head: People don't look down on it, what's the use of us being interesting?
As soon as Liu Kehao's words were finished, Political Commissar Xie slapped his thigh: Okay, don't shoot across the mountain from me, just have your words.
Political Commissar Xie then went to do Wang Yingxiang's work in a hurry.
When he found Wang Yingxiang, Wang Yingxiang was sitting in front of the window, holding her cheeks in a daze. Political Commissar Xie laughed loudly: Comrade Wang Yingxiang, your current ideological burden is very heavy! It's all my fault as a political commissar, I didn't do a good job, and I apologize to you first.
Wang Yingxiang said: Political commissar, this matter has nothing to do with you, it is Liu Kehao who has ruined my reputation.
Comrade Wang Yingxiang, this is a problem with your understanding. You and Comrade Liu Kehao have made great sacrifices in working together, and the only way to blame is that the organization's work has not been done well.
Listening to the words of the political commissar, Wang Yingxiang's tears were about to flow out.
Political Commissar Xie struck while the iron was hot and said: Comrade Yingxiang, you tell me something from the heart, how is Liu Kehao?
He was, of course, a good comrade. Wang Yingxiang blurted out.
Then what mistakes and shortcomings he has, you can also tell them.
Wang Yingxiang thought about it carefully: I really haven't found any mistakes and shortcomings in him.
Political Commissar Xie sighed with relief and said: That's right, then why can't you two be together?
Wang Yingxiang understood Political Commissar Xie's intentions, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she muttered: Political Commissar, do you want me to fall in love with him?
Political Commissar Xie laughed and said: Who is he? You two couldn't be more suitable.
Wang Yingxiang immediately stood up, shook her head firmly and said: No, no, definitely not.
Why? Political Commissar Xie looked puzzled.
Wang Yingxiang said disappointedly: Look at him like that, when did he look at me. If he had that meaning, would he have to wait until today?
Political Commissar Xie looked at Wang Yingxiang and smiled uncontrollably, not only smiled and bent his face, but also laughed out of tears. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said, "You guys, you guys, let me say something?"
The rest of the year went smoothly.
