6 Company Commander Wang Shuanglong's question, which immediately touched the hearts of Wei Xin and Lu Dajiang. On the issue of sending troops to the Black Stone Cliff bandits' nest, the commanders of the 7th and 8th companies had already expressed their attitudes in front of the instructors, but Liu Shu's attitude was even tougher, which of course made several company-level commanders, including Wang Shuanglong, feel embarrassed and worried.

Wei Xin cut out two pieces of beef from the canned food with a short knife and handed them to Wang Shuanglong and Lu Dajiang, explaining with embarrassment that if it weren't for the sinister situation after the defeat of Hekou Village, he would never take the initiative to knock on the bandits' bamboo poles, even if he accidentally ran into the minions of the Black Stone Cliff and broke them up. However, at that time, the 7th Company, which was responsible for the broken rear, had many wounded soldiers, ran out of food and grass, and lost its way and was separated from the main force of the battalion; At this time, the bandit minions of the Black Stone Cliff were sent to him, and he couldn't help but think about it.

Lu Dajiang blew his nose and said angrily: "Old Wei, you did a good job; These bandits, last time, made Lao Tzu's people suffer a loss, causing me and the instructor to be stinked by Deputy Battalion Commander Wu and Li Tianlin; I'm calculating when I'll get revenge on this arrow. If you go to the Black Rock Cliff to make such a fuss, it can be regarded as giving 8 Lian a bad breath. ”

Wang Shuanglong looked at Wei Xin meaningfully and asked, "Are you really sure that you weren't deceived by your sister?" Can your people stay in the bandits' den to recuperate, and really ensure that they are safe? ”

Wei Xin is now most afraid that others will mention that he has done the eldest brother to the female bandit leader Liu Wumei, seeing the sly light flashing in the eyes of the 6th company commander, his heart instantly weakened, and he replied somewhat stammeringly: "What sister, it's just a joke...... My people stay at Blackstone Cliffs, I think...... It's still safe. ”

"You dare to guarantee the ticket?" Wang Shuanglong asked, his expression becoming serious.

Wei Xin hesitated for a moment, and then nodded vigorously: "Liu Wumei, I'm sure, this woman is not simple, she can be a big boss in the men's pile, she must not rely on the pit to be abducted; The Jianghu bandits value a righteous word the most, and she personally promised me in front of so many subordinates that if she dared to break her word, I was afraid that her subordinates would not spare her. ”

The other two company commanders listened to Wei Xin's analysis and felt that it made sense.

"However, Liu Wumei has a three-master under him, which doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp," Wei Xin said here, and suddenly pointed at Lu Dajiang: "By the way, his small leader is named Tie Shou, and this Tie Shou arrested your 8th female hygienist last time; I wanted to bring him this time, but he was hidden in advance by the three-master. ”

"Three-in-command? It doesn't matter, the big thing about the cottage should still be your sister's decision; We-"

Before Wang Shuanglong finished his sentence, Lu Dajiang suddenly interjected: "Then what is the attitude of their second master?" ”

Wei Xin couldn't help but be stunned, and then he remembered that at the banquet in the Black Stone Cliff Cottage, he really hadn't seen the second master of the bandit's nest: "Yes, if there is a big boss and a third master, there should be a second master?" ”

Wang Shuanglong interrupted the continuation of the conversation between the two on this topic, he put the piece of canned beef into his mouth, and said as he chewed:

"Since Lao Wei is sure of the female boss of the Black Stone Cliff, then I suggest that when the instructor convenes us for a meeting tomorrow and arranges for the troops, the three of us will jointly propose it and postpone the action!"

It wasn't until this moment that Wei Xin and Lu Dajiang understood the true intentions of the 6th Company Commander. But at the same time, they also felt uneasy about this proposal - since they had been defeated all the way back to Red Star Gorge, the instructor's temper had obviously deteriorated, and he would often scold the people around him and what he saw. It is said that after losing the battle, losing the base area, and even sacrificing a large number of comrades-in-arms, including the battalion commander, everyone was in a bad mood, but the temper of the instructor was obviously not only against this.

"If we do this, will we be reprimanded by the instructor again?" Lu Dajiang asked cautiously, and at the same time glanced at Wei Xin, as if hoping that the commander of the 7th company could express the same concerns as him.

But Wang Shuanglong waved his hand decisively, indicating that he couldn't take into account his personal feelings at the moment! The remnants of the second battalion in the Red Star Gorge, excluding the wounded, had less than 500 people left to fight, and most of them were sleepy and lacking; The artillery squad ran out of shells, and the heavy machine guns were all in the village of Hekou. In such a state, if you really want to start a war with the Black Stone Cliff bandits who are guarding against danger, you will simply not be able to measure yourself and ask for hardship!

The more the 6th company commander spoke, the more emotional he became. In the battle of Xiping Village to resist the night attack of the Japanese army, his 6th Company was the most seriously damaged, because the long frontal defense line of the entire Xiping Village was almost supported by the 6th Company alone, and it was obviously the elite troops of the Japanese army in the face; It was only at the moment of the final evacuation that the 7th Company came to support from the head of the village. After counting the battle losses tonight, Wang Shuanglong, the main company commander, only had more than 50 soldiers left at hand.

According to the understanding of the commander of the 6th company on the way to Guanmen Mountain after retreating, the reason why his company had to die on the long defensive line west of the village for so long was because the instructor insisted on transporting a large number of supplies and baggage! This made him secretly doubt the instructor's decision-making ability.

Wei Xin also made up his mind, he had another reason: before it was confirmed that the bandits would harm his comrades-in-arms and wounded, it was somewhat unreasonable to rashly send troops to Black Stone Cliff to ask for people.

"Shall we secretly report to the deputy battalion commander? See what he has to say? Lu Dajiang was still worried, he didn't believe that with the three company commanders, he could make the instructor who had lost his temper change his mind. Lu Dajiang admired Wu Zijian so much, and when he was still in the Red Army in the Jiangxi Soviet District, he personally participated in many battles commanded by Wu Zijian. What's more, after the last exchange of fire between the 8th Company and the Black Rock Cliff bandits, the deputy battalion commander transferred a Czech light machine gun from the 5th Company to the 8th Company on the spot out of sympathy for the fact that the 8th Company's equipment was the most outdated; This makes all the 8 people, including Lu Dajiang, grateful to this day.

Wang Shuanglong's eyes immediately rolled, and he thought that this might be a good move. Wei Xin also nodded slowly, although he didn't speak, but obviously agreed.

In Wang Shuanglong himself, the most admired in his heart is actually the battalion commander Feng Changzhi, although the battalion commander seems to be inferior to the deputy battalion commander in terms of operational command, but he pays attention to a bowl of water. On the other hand, Wu Zijian, because he was born in the 5th Company and is the old company commander of the 5th Company, is inevitably blind to the 5th Company, and has always attached more importance to the 5th Company in terms of weapon distribution and combat deployment; This, of course, makes the 6th Company, which is almost equal to the 5th Company in combat effectiveness, feel unfair. However, now that the battalion commander has died, between the deputy battalion commander and the instructor, Wang Shuanglong, the commander of the 6th company, still feels that Wu Zijian has a more measured grasp of military operations.

For example, the instructor's decision to send troops to Heishi Cliff tomorrow was hastily made by the instructor earlier today, and he was replaced by Wu Zijian, the deputy battalion commander, I am afraid that he would not be so brutal; Even if he chooses to use force, he will convene at least one military meeting, conduct a sand table deduction for the Black Rock Cliff, and only after the deployment is thorough, will he order the dispatch of troops.

"What are you going to do?" Wang Shuanglong simply asked the commander of the 8th company who put forward the motion: "Hide from the instructor to report to Hekou Village?" ”

Wei Xin interjected first: "Of course you have to hide it, otherwise how could the instructor agree to send someone to Hekou Village?" ”

Lu Dajiang lowered his voice and told the two people the details of the instructor of the 8th Company who had gone to Hekou Village to deliver the letter on the order of the instructor. The commander of the 8th Company held that Deputy Battalion Commander Wu Zijian had repeatedly disagreed with the instructors on military propositions in the past, but now that the battalion commander had died, theoretically speaking, the military command of the 2nd Battalion of the Lin Division should now fall on the deputy battalion commander. Perhaps, Deputy Battalion Commander Wu himself thought so, so he was simply indifferent to the instructor's order to take the 5th Company to retreat, and asked the instructor of the 8th Company to bring back a soft nail to Liu Shu.

"But in this way, I am afraid that we will be caught between the deputy battalion commander and the instructor, and we will be in a dilemma!" Wang Shuanglong did not hide his tendency: "If you want me to say, it is better for us to directly ask Deputy Battalion Commander Wu himself to rush back to Hongxingxia immediately to preside over the military, otherwise, once the instructor gives a military order to us, can we still resist and disobey the order?" ”

The words "disobey the order" hit the hearts of the other two company commanders heavily, making them realize the seriousness of the problem.

During the Long March, when the Red Army was forced to retreat from the Soviet area, there were several major purges and purges within the army. At that time, many outstanding Red Army commanders tried to refuse the order to examine them on the grounds of military urgency and other reasons, and as a result, they were labeled as disobeying the order, and were directly arrested and shot by the censors before they even began to be examined. In this regard, Wang Shuanglong and Lu Dajiang, who participated in the Long March, still remember it vividly and have palpitations; Although Wei Xin is a Red Army in northern Shaanxi, he has also heard of it.

"Okay, Dalong, it's up to you!" Wei Xin said to the commander of the 6th company: "We sent someone to set off to Hekou Village overnight, explained the benefits and disadvantages to the deputy battalion commander, and asked him to come back as soon as possible - on the side of Hekou Village, it is enough for Li Tianlin to command for the time being - tomorrow a few of us, we will get up in the morning and start sorting out our troops separately, try to delay the time, and do not give the instructor the opportunity to assemble the team too early." ”

"We ...... Whose people were sent to the village of Kawaguchi? ”

Lu Dajiang asked with some embarrassment. After all, this kind of behavior of going to the deputy battalion commander without telling the instructor seems to have a "coup d'état" connotation.

The three company commanders were silent for a while: if it goes well, it is good to say, once there is an accident, then the company from which company the person who reported the news came from, and the company commander of which company is undoubtedly the biggest offender.

Wang Shuanglong gritted his teeth, stared at Lu Dajiang and said, "Old Lu, I don't mean anything else!" Your people are the most familiar with the mountain road from Hongxing Gorge to Hekou Village, and they must be the most effective way to go back and forth. I think send two of your warriors. But Lao Wei and I both declare first, and the three of us share this responsibility! ”

Wei Xin immediately raised a hand to the sky, expressing complete agreement.

Lu Dajiang didn't say anything, picked up the enamel jar as a wine glass from the ground, Wang Shuanglong and Wei Xin did the same when they saw this, and the jars of the three of them touched together again, but this time, they didn't drink it to their mouths immediately, but looked at each other over and over again, until they saw determination and trust in each other's eyes, and then drank it all again.

"I thought about it for a moment, the stakes are high, you can't send ordinary fighters there, it's better to send two platoon commanders or squad leaders;" Wei Xin suggested to the commander of the 8th company: "Moreover, we had better not let them send a message, in case of misinformation." ”

Wang Shuanglong slapped his thigh: "Yes! We will write a letter, seal it, and give it to the person who sent it. Also, Lao Lu, you must find a reliable subordinate, and you must not leak the news, if you let the instructor know, it will be troublesome. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wang Shuanglong's words fell, he heard a loud noise from the door of the cabin, and a voice immediately roared outside the door that had been kicked open:

"What's the unsightly thing that will make me know it's trouble?!"
