Section 40: The Dilemma

The woods were gloomy and oppressive, and there was no light leaking from the sky above the black whirring head, making the night of Minshan look extraordinarily dark.

Shi and the others have been in the mountains and forests for several months, and they are no strangers to such nights, but because of the bursts of insects around him, he feels a rare peace, which is a feeling from the heart from the inside out, so that he can lie there flat, and almost make a sound out of comfort.

A rough voice broke the silence here, and it seemed a little out of place with the atmosphere here, "I don't know how Ruichang is now." ”

This protruding sound seemed to frighten the cheerful and light "singers" around them, and made the beautiful music that resounded all around abruptly stop.

Shi heard the unwillingness in Liu Wenfeng's tone on the side, and immediately chuckled: "Crazy, why are you still thinking about Ruichang, if they move quickly, maybe the fight will be over at this time." ”

Liu Wenfeng sat up, stretched out his hand and waved it to drive away the mosquitoes flying in the night, and sighed: "Stone, that's an opportunity for us to fight, just withdraw it and give it to others, who can stand it?" I can't figure it out, aren't Hu Liqun and Qu Yu dead? Why do you have to do so much? Our 302nd Regiment is under his command no matter what it says, what is the purpose of such deliberate suppression? Why did the 301 regiment take all the benefits, and we didn't even have a drink of soup? ”

"Power" Stone seems to have thought about this for a long time, and blurted out without thinking about it.

"What power? If you are the head of the regiment, he will have no power? Could it be that if Hu Liqun is the head of the regiment, he will have power? That kind of arrogant guy can't even fight this kind of defensive battle, and can still be the head of the regiment? Liu Wenfeng said disdainfully, obviously the previous grievances did not disappear because of the death of the two battalion commanders.

Shi restrained his smile, looked at the pitch black above his head and sighed, and then said slowly: "You're right, as long as I am the head of the regiment, his power will be affected." ”

Liu Wenfeng has been unable to figure this out recently, and then he can't help but ask eagerly: "Why?" Aren't we from the 151st Brigade? We're not his men? ”

"Do you remember Captain Zhang?" Stone suddenly said unexpectedly.

"What's wrong with Captain Zhang? What does this have to do with Head Zhang? Liu Wenfeng was even more confused and asked.

Shi smiled bitterly: "Because we stayed by Commander Zhang's side for a while, we fought side by side with Commander Zhang in the area of Xiaoliuhe, and then I was promoted to the position of Commander of the 302nd Regiment, in the eyes of others, it is the reason why Commander Zhang recommends it with all his might, what do you think others think of me?" Who would think that I am not from the head of Zhang's family? ”

Liu Wenfeng was dumbfounded, even in the dark night, the stone could feel his surprised expression at the moment, but he didn't care about these, all he thought about was the future of the 302 regiment, he looked at the sky, he couldn't see any light, just like their 302 regiment, he didn't know where the road was, although he escaped by luck this time, but what about the next time? And next time?

"Stone, how can this be? We have today, don't we rely on us to fight one battle after another, and what does it have to do with Commander Zhang? We killed devils and made meritorious contributions to promotions, who did we provoke? Liu Wenfeng didn't expect that there was such a complicated relationship, and he suddenly had a big headache, a year ago, he was just a big-headed soldier, and now he is suddenly promoted to the position of battalion commander, the angle is different, and the way of thinking about problems is also different, just like now, the mystery hidden behind the promotion and fortune makes him feel at a loss.

"We don't have a backing, we don't have a foundation, that's why." Shi shook his head helplessly, and then said in a low voice: "We are the chess pieces on the chessboard, fate is in the hands of others, whether we advance or retreat, no matter what the final result of this game of chess is, as soon as the chess game is over, we will lose the value of use." ”

Liu Wenfeng didn't expect the stone to be so pessimistic, he didn't expect their future to be so dark, and the glimmer of hope that he had because of the victory finally disappeared completely, he asked in horror: "Don't we have any other way to go?" Stone, can't we go to the brigade commander like Hu Liqun and them to gain the brigade commander's trust? ”

"I'm not Hu Liqun, I have already been marked by Commander Zhang, no one will believe us, let alone get the trust of the brigade, in such an important position, it can only be his cronies, and it can only be the person he trusts the most, this is the root cause of the problem." The stone said calmly, as if he had already thought about such a question.

"Do we have to be in such a stalemate with the brigade? Can't we go to Captain Zhang? Liu Wenfeng said with a bitter sigh.

"Crazy, no one cares about our life or death, the person who plays chess cares about the outcome of the entire chess game, and he doesn't care about the life or death of the chess piece, if he wants to live, unless he becomes a chess player on the edge of the chessboard, unless he becomes the person who controls the entire chessboard." Stone said.

Liu Wenfeng was silent, the road in front of him made him feel that there was no hope, fighting with the brigade commander? What to fight? An order came down, let you go to the east, you can't go west, let you fight the devil, you have to go up, just like this time, obviously Ruichang has a brigade of devils, they still have to rush up, if it weren't for the stone resourcefulness and two wins in a row, I'm afraid they would have finished the fight at this time. Even so, they did not reap any benefits, a simple offset of merit and demerits wiped out all their efforts, and the fruits of victory were successfully plucked.

While thinking helplessly, Liu Wenfeng looked at the sky helplessly, as if he wanted to find a way out from the layers of black fog, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he immediately stopped thinking and looked at the stone with a surprised face.

Even though the surroundings were as dark as ink, in such a relatively static situation, the stone clearly felt Liu Wenfeng's abnormality, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, madman?" ”

"Stone, you...... How do you know this? Is your head good? Otherwise, how do you know everything about such a complicated matter? There is also the battle between Jiangjiashan and Gaoling Village, this is not something that ordinary people dare to fight, to be honest, until now I can't believe that we can defeat two or three brigades of devils with such a few people, which is thousands of people. Liu Wenfeng said in shock.

Shi smiled bitterly again, facing Liu Wenfeng's series of questions, he just said helplessly: "I don't know, I can't remember anything from the past." ”

"How is this possible?" Liu Wenfeng couldn't believe it.

Shi said helplessly: "That's the case, I don't know why this is happening, but as soon as I think of the devil's situation, I naturally think of a way to deal with the devil, just like as soon as I get the sword, I know how to kill the devil, everything is so natural." ”

Liu Wenfeng's excited mood just now immediately fell down in an instant as if he had been poured a plate of cold water, and under the heavy black fog, he fell into confusion again.

The quiet surroundings allowed Shi to rethink the future of the 302nd regiment, he could feel Liu Wenfeng's depressed mood, but he didn't know how to persuade him, because everything in his mind was just fantasy, he didn't know whether his idea was right or wrong, whether it was really feasible, once he said it, he might mislead others.

He felt that since Luodian, there was a big hand in control of his fate, that tall body, handsome face and warm smile, once made him feel the warmth of his heart, however, until he sat in the position of the head of the regiment, until he saw his situation clearly, he had a feeling of chilling all over his body.

Zhang Lingfu Zhang, head of Zhang, almost when they met for the first time, he could no longer control his fate, and he came to the point where he is today according to the other party's plan again and again, whether it is Luodian or Xiaoliuhe, including Liuzhuang's gift of books, this series of seemingly simple operations made him unconsciously change his fate and put him on the pressure that others can't imagine.

This kind of pressure can't be seen in ordinary times, and it can't be seen when he is a company commander and a battalion commander, until he inexplicably sits in the position of regiment commander, and everything suddenly bursts out and is all displayed in front of everyone overnight.

Because of his identity as an idiot, because of his incredible promotion speed, his body was labeled as Zhang Lingfu, and he couldn't tear it off if he wanted to, because no one believed that an idiot would become the head of the regiment so easily, unless that person was an idiot. However, Shi knew that there was no relationship between him and Head Zhang at all, and if anything, it was nothing more than the friendship of the book gift, but he knew it, and others didn't know.

The 51st Division has a total of 4 main regiments, Zhang Lingfu has won the trust of the division, and he is a close confidant of the commander of Zhang, and his strength has been faintly above others, so he has become the target of public criticism, not only Brigade Commander Zhou, almost everyone in the Shangfeng commanders wants to knock him down, because if they are not knocked down today, Zhang Lingfu's pioneer will not be discounted, and tomorrow they will be knocked out of position, especially Li Tianxia, the commander of the 153rd Brigade, has a feeling of being overhead at any time, and this time he was transferred to the commander of the 40th Division of the 29th Army, Holding on to Lushan, on the surface, it is possible for him to go further, but in fact it shows that he has gradually lost his position in the 51st Division.

Brigade Commander Zhou's situation is generally the same, if Zhang Lingfu rises up, then he will undoubtedly lose room to rise, so there is no possibility of reconciliation between him and the stone.

And what about Zhang Lingfu? Before the stone was beaten down, he was very safe, and after the stone was beaten down, as long as the division seat fully supported, he was fine, after all, the 51st Division was still in charge of Master Wang, and no one dared to do anything to him, this is a thing that will not suffer any loss.

The most tragic thing is the stone, he is inexplicably in the cracks, in danger of dying at any time, even if he saves his life, he is also a stepping stone for others to rise, and there is no hope of turning over in a short time.

Their 302nd regiment is a knife, the handle of the knife is in the hands of others, they can only kill passively, never know where the end is.
