Chapter 212: Brothers and Sisters of Soldiers and Bandits
Wei Xin, the commander of the Eighth Route Army, as a person who has practiced martial arts with his family since he was a child, has always paid attention to not bullying the weak and not fighting with women, etc., even if he meets a fellow martial artist, if the other party is a woman, he is usually ashamed to fight with him. This time, he led the 7th Company to retreat into Guanmen Mountain, and in desperation, he happened to catch the bandits of the Black Stone Cliff, so he naturally came up with a trick to take them hostage and force them to borrow food. However, when the big boss of the Black Stone Cliff appeared in front of Wei Xin in the face of a woman, it made the commander of the Eighth Route Army, who was brave and good at fighting, suddenly feel uncomfortable-
I am a company commander of the regular army of the national army, and I have no choice but to trade people and goods with bandits, and I have already lost my identity, and now the other party is still a young woman who looks twisted and pinched.
Wei Xin's psychological fluctuations naturally did not escape the eyes of the scheming master of Heishi Cliff, who realized that since the arrival of the big boss to confess, this tall and arrogant commander of the Eighth Route Army, whether it was his expression or actions, showed a little cramped and even embarrassed.
"Sir Wei, we have lived in the mountains and forests for a long time, and we have always neglected to take care of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, if the brothers in the cottage offend your army, I hope that Chief Wei will look at the face of the big boss is a woman, and raise his noble hand!"
The old master, who seemed to be kind and sincere, squeezed on the side again, which of course made the company commander of the Eighth Route Army more and more overwhelmed.
"Well, well, offending is indeed offending, but, you-" Wei Xin said a little incoherently.
Liu Wumei, the female bandit leader, didn't see the clue from it, but she did come forward in person with the original intention of turning enemies into friends, and seeing that the commander of the Eighth Route Army was not as aggressive as she imagined, she hurriedly gave the other party a step:
"The little woman sincerely invited Chief Wei and the brothers of the Eighth Route Army to the cottage to rest their horses, and there is no disagreement," she said, while pulling out her shell gun from her waist and handing it to Wei Xin: "Out of respect for the anti-Japanese heroes, the people and horses of the Black Stone Cliff Cottage, starting from myself, all the swords and guns of everyone will be temporarily handed over to your army for safekeeping." ”
Liu Wumei's move not only greatly surprised the commander of the Eighth Route Army, but also tarnished the face of the master who was standing aside to watch the show. If you really give them all the guns, wouldn't it be equivalent to giving away the entire cottage!
Liu Wumei deliberately didn't look at her master, but just held the shell gun with both hands and handed it to the company commander of the Eighth Route Army. The female bandit leader knew that this was a dangerous move, and if the other party was still polite, of course she would not be embarrassed to accept her and her guns; But if the other party pushes the boat down the river and takes advantage of the situation, I am afraid that the Black Stone Cliff Cottage will be returned to the Eighth Route Army today.
At this moment, Wei Xin was no longer so cramped and embarrassed, and the gesture of the female bandit leader in front of him also made him put away a little guarded. However, he thought that it was absolutely impossible for all 7 faces to enter the cottage, and once an accident happened, there would not even be room for maneuver.
"It's rare to have a piece of sincerity in the big boss," Wei Xin quickly made up his mind, and gave up his hand to Liu Wumei as a party in the rivers and lakes: "But we still have military affairs to do, so we shouldn't delay; In this way, I have dozens of lightly and seriously wounded here, all of whom were hung during the fierce battle with the Japanese the night before, so I ask the big boss to leave them in the cottage to recuperate, and after the injuries are healed, I will send someone to pick them up. ”
Liu Wumei was overjoyed, knowing that the Eighth Route Army was not here to seize the cottage, so she immediately bowed her hand and saluted: "Chief Wei ordered, the little girl should do it herself, the brothers of your army were injured for the anti-Japanese resistance, and we did our best for the heroes, it is really a great honor!" ”
Wei Xin pondered for a while, and then said: "As for the grain and grass, please do what you can, allocate some to us, I will give you an IOU on the spot, and the Eighth Route Army will be faithful and will be returned in the future." ”
Liu Wumei's face had already turned into a flower at this time, and while she inserted the shell gun back into her waist, she waved her hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Sir Wei, I will give all the grain and grass, but please be sure to go to the cottage and sit down, so that I and the brothers in the Black Stone Cliff can do our best to be the landlord." ”
Wei Xin looked back at his team, and thought to himself, the matter has come to this point, it doesn't hurt to follow this female bandit leader into the cottage to take a look, now that the second battalion of the forest division is newly defeated, it is the time to employ people, if you can establish some kind of relationship with the Black Stone Cliff bandits, it will also be a force that can be relied on in the future.
He promised Liu Wumei, and then gathered his team to give an order, first releasing the captured bandits in the Black Stone Cliff Cottage; The minor and serious wounded were immediately counted, a total of thirty-seven; Wei Xin allocated another squad of troops to enter the cottage with these light and serious wounded; The remaining sixty-five fighters remained in place, waiting for the grain and grass to be accepted and continued to pull.
From the words and deeds of the female bandit leader, the company commander of the Eighth Route Army had expected that the other party would not dare to annex him, and the reason why he dared to make the decision to leave the lightly and seriously wounded at the Black Rock Cliff to recuperate was also based on the rules of the rivers and lakes: no action should be taken against the wounded and sick.
Liu Wumei ordered the cottage kitchen to hold a banquet, in addition to entertaining the Eighth Route Army who had already entered the mountain, and also sent the wine and rice dishes to the commanders and fighters who stayed under the Black Stone Cliff.
Wei Xin was accompanied by only two fighters. At the banquet, Liu Wumei repeatedly persuaded the commander of the Eighth Route Army to drink, but Wei Xin, who was originally a large number of people, of course refused to drink more, and only drank two bowls of wine and did not continue to drink. The female bandit leader asked about the battle of the Eighth Route Army in Xiping Village outside the mountain, and Wei Xin did not hide it, and told the story 1510.
The master who accompanied the banquet listened to the story of the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, and couldn't help but regret it in his heart: he knew that this Eighth Route Army was beaten by the Japanese and lost its armor and fled, so he should not show weakness like this; Even if you don't attack and drive them away, at least you will strictly guard the cottage and confront them, which is better than accepting so many wounded soldiers at once! The cost of healing, making offerings, and allocating a batch of grain and grass to send is huge. The Eighth Route Army said that the IOU would be returned in full, but most of it was meat buns beating dogs - there was no return!
The big boss obviously didn't see it that way, and she not only sincerely agreed to the conditions of the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, but also repeatedly emphasized that Heishi Cliff would form an ally with the Eighth Route Army and advance and retreat together in the future. Gradually, the master tasted Liu Wumei's thoughts, she was going to make a set first, Xu tied up this Wei Xin chief with heavy profits, and then he came forward to resolve the last time Black Stone Cliff and another Eighth Route Army.
"Your army lost a vicious battle with the Japanese, mostly because of the opportunity to eat the other party's sneak attack at night, but the so-called gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late, Chief Wei led people to recuperate, and then find these devils to fight to the death in the future." Liu Wumei kept persuading Wei Xin to drink, and she kept talking.
Wei Xin took the opportunity to inquire about the location of the "Red Star Gorge" from the female bandit leader, saying that the second battalion of the Eighth Route Army Forest Division had a garrison there; Liu Wumei was still a little dazed at first, but suddenly from the eyes of the master, she realized that the "Red Star Gorge" that Chief Wei Xin said seemed to be the place where the little leader of the cottage captured the female soldiers of the Eighth Route Army last time! It's a no-brainer! And from the words of the company commander of the Eighth Route Army, it can be further confirmed that he still does not know that the Black Rock Cliff people have had a firefight with the Eighth Route Army there.
But the scheming female bandit leader first said that she had not heard of the "Red Star Gorge" - this is actually a fact - but she could send a guide to the cottage and lead the Eighth Route Army to find it. Immediately, she changed her words and talked about martial arts with Wei Xin; The soft whip of the iron rope that was played with by Wei Xin at the bottom of the mountain became the reason for the conversation. Speaking of martial arts, the company commander of the Eighth Route Army is naturally like a few family treasures, and his eyebrows are flying, and Liu Wumei has been kidnapped into the cottage by the former bandit leader of Guanmen Mountain and lost herself, and later sat on the top spot, and she has not dealt with people who practice martial arts during this period. The two talked more and more into the alley, and they had the meaning of seeing each other late, until Liu Wumei asked Wei Xin's age, and then suddenly got up during the banquet and said:
"The little girl is two years younger than Chief Wei, she has no relatives and no support after falling into the grass, today and Chief Wei hit it off at first sight, if you don't dislike it, the little woman is willing to worship Chief Wei as the eldest brother, I don't know if Chief Wei will give the little woman this face?"
Although Wei Xin is a revolutionary soldier, after all, he was born in martial arts, and before joining the army, he once roamed the rivers and lakes with his family, and he attached great importance to the word righteousness. This time, he raised his troops to hit the Black Rock Cliff, but the other party not only did not fight, but accepted the wounded soldiers of the 7th Company to recuperate, and promised to provide a large amount of grain and grass supplies. It can be said that this female bandit leader, who is well-known inside and outside Guanmen Mountain, has given herself enough face. Thinking of this, Wei Xin also got up and said:
"Since the big boss values Wei so much, then I recognize you as a sister! However, I have said it first, once you recognize me as the eldest brother, it means that the people of Black Stone Cliff have a relationship with the Eighth Route Army. In the future, cottages are no longer allowed to rob homes and rob houses and harm the people; Now that the national crisis is at the head, the Japanese occupy our rivers and mountains, your cottage soldiers are strong and strong, it is a good time to fight for the country, I hope that the big boss can form an alliance with the second battalion of the Eighth Route Army Forest Division to fight against the Japanese together! ”
Liu Wumei couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The eldest brother is on top, please accept the three bows of the younger sister!" As he spoke, he left the table and bowed down.
Wei Xin followed the rules of the rivers and lakes and returned the salute to Liu Wumei. Up and down the banquet, there was a sudden uproar.
Liu Wumei took the opportunity to propose that Wei Xin pull the team that remained under the Black Rock Cliff into the cottage for rest. Although Wei Xin, who was sleepy and lacking horses, was very moved, he thought that the headquarters and main force of the second battalion had not yet been found, the life and death of the battalion commander after being seriously injured were unknown, and the night battle in Hekou Village presided over by Wu Zijian, deputy battalion commander, had not been heard from so far. Worried, he still insisted on opening immediately and looking for the main force.
Liu Wumei saw that she couldn't keep it, so she was no longer reluctant, and after eating the banquet, she personally took Wei Xin to look around the cottage, and demarcated the residence for the wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, and moved out the dry food, fruits, vegetables and cooked meat for the Eighth Route Army outside the cottage for a few days. Wei Xin couldn't be more satisfied, and repeatedly emphasized that all today's expenses, including the cost of recuperating from the wounded soldiers, were temporarily borrowed from the Eighth Route Army from Heishi Cliff and must be returned in the future. also asked Liu Wumei to take out a pen and paper and make a note.
At this time, the female bandit leader affectionately held one of Wei Xin's arms and said:
"Big brother, what kind of documents do you have for this expense? Even if it's a meeting gift from the little sister to the eldest brother and the Eighth Route Army. From now on, we will be a family, and we don't have to be like this. However, the little sister has one thing here, I want to ask the eldest brother to help say a few words! ”
The company commander of the Eighth Route Army, who was smiling from ear to ear, blurted out without thinking: "No problem, what do you want me to help say?" ”
Liu Wumei glanced at the master who had been patrolling around the left and right, and pulled Wei Xin's arm tighter: "Don't hide it from the eldest brother, a few brothers under the younger sister, I accidentally offended a team of your army a while ago and formed a beam, and I hope that the eldest brother will see the commander of that team in the future, and say a few kind words for the younger sister. ”
Wei Xin was taken aback, and subconsciously asked in a loud voice: "How big a beam has you formed?" Did you use force? Were there any casualties? ”
Liu Wumei raised her face, looked at the eldest brother in the crook of her arm closely, and said carefully: "There was fire on both sides, and there were some casualties. ”
The company commander of the Eighth Route Army, who was still complacent just now, was dumbfounded.
