Section XIII

After dinner, at about three o'clock in the morning, Shi took the energetic old Meng Xiaoshan and others to report to the main account of the regiment headquarters next door, and the sentry at the door was already very familiar with these new "regiment commander guards", so he put them in. A cacophony peculiar to Command suddenly flooded into their ears.

Zhang Lingfu didn't seem to have much rest, at the moment he was standing in front of the huge sand table in that straight military uniform, frowning and thinking about something, the oil lamps lit around him were shining with sparks, and the figure of the head of Zhang was extremely tall.

Shi knew that Zhang Tuan Chang had a habit of contemplation, so he didn't keep silent, and with a wave of his hand, he let Lao Meng and Xiao Shandong disperse with three or four brothers from the third company, and faintly protected Zhang Lingfu in it.

Zhang Lingfu's body didn't move, and he didn't even move his eyes, but it seemed that he knew it since the stone came in, and at this moment he said as if talking to himself: "The left flank defense line of the 15th Army is about to collapse, how long can we hold on to Xiaoliuhe with only one regiment?" ”

The stone now has no sense of restraint from before, and when he heard it, he said: "As long as you still have strength, you can have a better position to block the enemy." ”

Zhang Lingfu also raised his head when he heard this, looked at the stone with bloodshot eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What if there is no other location?" ”

Shi listened to the pillar talk about what happened during the day, although he didn't know the specific situation of the delay now, but listening to Commander Zhang's tone, as if something had happened, thinking of what Commander Zhang had taught him before, "Put on this military uniform, you have to fight for the party and the country, for the people", he said calmly: "Then fight to the death with the devil in Xiaoliuhe, if the devil wants to cross the river, he must first step on our body." ”

Zhang Lingfu looked at the stone, looked at the young company commander, in the past few days, it seemed that he had more pride, and he also laughed, looking at the stone, he smiled and praised: "Yes, a soldier should have such a murderous spirit and an unyielding heroic spirit, it seems that I transferred you to the 305th regiment, but it was not in vain that I thought about it." ”

"However, it is not enough to have murderous and heroic spirit, it is not yet the time for a decisive battle, and I will never do this kind of thing if I take the lives of my brothers to die in vain." The smile on Zhang Lingfu's face disappeared, and in an instant, he returned to his previous calm and coldness, and from a distance, it gave people a huge pressure, almost a feeling that people didn't dare to look at directly.

Listening to these words, Shi also kept them in his heart, and thought carefully, he found that following people like Captain Zhang, every word and deed is an example to learn, which is really a rare opportunity.

They suddenly fell into silence again, the stone led people to guard the surroundings, Zhang Lingfu looked at the sand table again in contemplation, as if thinking about the next battle situation.

At this time, a second lieutenant walked in from outside the tent, looked at the place where Regiment Commander Zhang was, and walked over. This person Shi knows, is the platoon commander of the regiment's special service platoon, surnamed Li, who is responsible for some intelligence reconnaissance and regimental headquarters vigilance, and in terms of duties, it can be regarded as a place where they have a junction with Shishi, and because of this, for this person who has dealt with several times before, Shi nodded head-on and signaled, that is, he let him over.

Immediately, I saw the second lieutenant salute and said with a full of anger: "Tuanza, the adjutant of the detention has not eaten for a day, and he has been clamoring to see you." ”

"Oh? It's a bit backbone, and it seems that I was negligent. Zhang Lingfu responded, thought for a while and said: "Since this is the case, then go and see each other, if it is really a bloody man, then let it go, now that the situation is in danger, one more person is also one more strength." ”

After speaking, Zhang Lingfu took the lead in walking outside, and the stone naturally followed Zhang Lingfu inch by inch, and Platoon Commander Li also walked on the other side, out of the tent door, and then walked in the direction of the original three companies and two platoons of positions, and walked about 20 steps, and the group stopped at the door of a small tent, this tent is not big, much smaller than the stone where they live, but there are two soldiers of the special service platoon at the door faintly guarded, like a wooden stake, but an angry voice came from inside the tent, "Zhang Lingfu." , call Zhang Lingfu to me, a top student of the Huangpu Military Academy, the colonel of the dignified 305 Regiment, don't you even understand party discipline and state law? I, Zhao Xingyu, were sent by the brigade to convey military orders, what right do you have to detain me? Could it be that Zhang Lingfu is arrogant and domineering, lawless, and still wants to defect to the enemy and commit treason? ”

"Password!" When Zhang Lingfu and the others approached, there was a vain shout in the dark, the stone was startled, but he didn't expect that in addition to the sentry at the door, there was a secret sentry in the dark, such a tight guard, but it was really unexpected, thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Platoon Commander Li on the other side of Commander Zhang, the second lieutenant with a plain face, had already answered the password at this moment and revealed his identity again, and there was no sound in the four places.

Zhang Lingfu walked into this small tent without stopping, and the stone followed closely behind, and at that moment he felt that his eyes were bright, and a kerosene lamp illuminated this small space clearly. Look closely, there are two other soldiers in the tent, they are holding guns in their hands, staring at the person tied to the central stake, at this moment this man in military uniform, hanging the rank of captain is quite embarrassed, several thick ropes tie him firmly, the military hat does not know where it fell, revealing a short hair of inch length, if it looks quite energetic in normal times, it is chaotic at the moment, it can be seen that he has gone through a violent struggle before.

After Zhang Lingfu came in, the previous rough scolding disappeared suddenly, raised his head, and stared at Zhang Lingfu seriously for a moment, and the silence in vain suddenly made the atmosphere look extraordinarily serious, as if it was ready to go before the rainstorm.

"Zhang Lingfu, is this how you are the head of the regiment? Do you still have the upper peak in your eyes, and is there still party discipline and state law? "Silence is only a few breaths of time, and when this voice erupts again, its momentum is not known how many times more violent than before, obviously after seeing the person who is coming, this captain and adjutant who has been imprisoned for a day is also almost crazy.

Zhang Lingfu looked around, and said to Platoon Commander Li: "Untie the rope and get some food." ”

"Zhang Lingfu, you are bold and reckless, detaining the officers of the brigade headquarters first without authorization, and disobeying the military orders of Shangfeng later, do you think that you can clear your name by putting on this kind of hypocritical behavior? If you use such things as the War of Resistance to Save the Country as capital for negotiations, and put your personal interests above national interests, are you still worthy of being a Chinese? Worthy of being an officer? Zhao Xingyu kept scolding for a moment, and almost pointed at Zhang Lingfu's nose. This look also made the stone next to Zhang Lingfu frown, in his opinion, Regiment Commander Zhang is also a fierce man, and he doesn't even care about the commander's military orders, this is good, this adjutant from the brigade headquarters is even more fierce, if he is not still tied, it is estimated that he will directly point to the nose of a colonel and scold, which is a kind of lawless practice in the subconscious of the stone heart must obey the commander's orders, but looking at the appearance of this captain being tied, his heart is quite sympathetic.

Zhang Lingfu didn't have the slightest reaction to the scolding, his face was calm as if the things in front of him had nothing to do with him, but he said indifferently: "Adjutant Zhao, don't be in a hurry to button me with such a big hat, I don't dare to say anything else, but to say that I, Zhang Lingfu, used anti-Japanese resistance as capital and a means of coercion, it would be too much to underestimate me." ”

Zhao Xingyu's body had regained its freedom at this time, and Platoon Commander Li's movements were still very fast, and with a move of his wrist, Zhao Xingyu sneered: "Look down? Commander Zhang, I'm afraid I think highly of you, in the entire Songhu battlefield, can you still find a second officer who is as arrogant and domineering as you and ignores the orders of the commander? When all Chinese men sacrifice themselves for the country, what will you do besides doing it to your own people? ”

Zhang Lingfu listened to the scolding, but nodded and said: "Look at you are also a man, let's go, go back to the brigade headquarters and tell Li Tianxia that it is right that he has qualifications in the 51st Division, but old qualifications do not mean that he can fight, especially now that he is fighting with devils, don't use the same set of fighting bandits and rogues in the past, in the military academy, did he only learn the ability to talk on paper?" ”

"Zhang Lingfu, do you still understand the dignity of the elders and the young? On the public, Xia Gong is your chief, on private, he is a graduate of the third phase of Huangpu, you are the fourth phase of Huangpu, how to say that you are also your senior brother and elder, you are too pampered and arrogant. Zhao Xingyu said angrily.

"Really? Sir? Brother? First wanted to transfer Zhang out, and then made such a suicidal counterattack, what are the thoughts and thoughts of our brigade? Could it be that I, Zhang, am really a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh? Adjutant Zhao, you are just a captain, you are going to forcibly break into the headquarters of my 305th Regiment without notification, and now you are committing a crime and deducting your hat in front of me, this kind of courage and style can be regarded as presumptuous. Zhang Lingfu still said unhurriedly.

Just when Zhao Xingyu wanted to ridicule him, a dense burst of gunfire came from a distance in vain, this was Xiaoliuhe's first abnormal movement since the 305th Regiment defeated the Japanese army, and the change came so suddenly, and without the slightest warning.

Zhang Lingfu's brows furrowed, he glanced at Zhao Xingyu, and ordered in an unquestionable tone: "You rush back to the brigade headquarters immediately, since the devil has made a move, he must not stop until he achieves his goal, and tell the division seat, for the sake of safety, the division headquarters will be retreated ten miles, and as long as there is still one person in the 305th regiment, it will definitely not let a Japanese soldier cross the river." ”

Immediately, he looked back at the stone and said calmly: "Let's go, follow me to meet the little devil, it seems that these guests from the East are not satisfied with the previous hospitality." ”
