Chapter 50: Tangled
readx;? The commissar heard it right, it was indeed the sound of gunfire. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In this small mountain village, not only the political commissar heard the faint sound of gunfire, but at least Captain Wang and Team Leader Guan also heard it.
Captain Wang was thinking about writing a report on the battle of "robbing the devil's prisoner car to rescue the monkeys" to his superiors in the war room, he held a lit paper cigarette in one hand and a pen in the other, and kept pacing back and forth in the room, sometimes putting the cigarette to his mouth, sometimes putting the pen to his mouth, just as he was putting all his thoughts on the report, the sound of gunfire interrupted his thoughts.
Captain Wang ran into the courtyard without thinking, and while looking around, he hurriedly shouted: "Someone, someone, where is the sound of gunfire?"
The soldiers who were on guard ran towards Captain Wang one after another, but the answer was invariably --- "I don't know", and even their expressions and movements were the same.
Captain Wang stood in the courtyard, as if looking for the faintly twinkling star, looking at the sky around him, and the soldiers around him followed him, looking up at the somewhat dim sky, but unfortunately, there was no difference.
Team Leader Guan has a pair of sensitive ears, although she is still lying on the bed in the infirmary with super thick walls, although she is chatting with Cuiyu, telling Cuiyu the story of her past through the rain of bullets, but the sound of gunfire rang out, even if the sound was so weak that it could hardly touch the eardrum, she still heard it, looked at Cuiyu in surprise and said, "There are gunshots, there are gunshots!"
"Did you hear me wrong, why didn't I hear it at all?" asked Jade in surprise.
"Absolutely not wrong, there is definitely the sound of gunfire, I'm sure!" said Team Leader Guan as he motioned for Jade to go out and take a look.
Cuiyu was still stunned, standing in front of the door of the infirmary, she looked around, listened carefully, but unfortunately only heard the "rustle" sound of weeds and fallen leaves in the wind, and nothing else, she muttered to herself: "Where did the gunfire come from? It must be that the injury has not yet healed, it must be tinnitus......"
Jade muttered, back to the infirmary.
Despite this, Team Leader Guan still firmly believed in his ears, and firmly believed that he heard the sound of gunfire that Jade did not believe at all.
However, Team Leader Guan did not defend Cuiyu again, because she knew that the voice was far away from the small mountain village, or rather, she was sure that the small mountain village was safe for the time being.
The person who had the same idea as Team Leader Guan was the political commissar, who did not shout in the courtyard, but went straight to Captain Wang's side, just as Captain Wang and five or six guerrillas were looking up at the sky.
"Did the commissar hear the gunshots too?" Captain Wang saw the commissar coming, and cast his anxious gaze on the distant sky.
"Gunshots? Where did the gunshots come from? I didn't hear it. The commissar's answer was calm.
"I obviously heard the gunshots, and it wasn't all at once, it lasted for a few seconds, you couldn't have heard it?"
"I really didn't hear it. The political commissar still looked unhurried, and asked with a smile at the few team members looking up at the sky, "Did any of you hear the gunfire that Captain Wang said?"
The word of the crowd: "No!"
The commissar sent the guerrillas away and went into the war room with Captain Wang.
Closing the door of the war room, the political commissar took the initiative to admit that he had lied in front of the team members and expressed his apologies, and at the same time he also explained his reasons--- the sound of gunfire is far away, and the specific situation has yet to be implemented......
Captain Wang obviously agreed with the political commissar's statement, nodded, and before the political commissar finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and said, "Then --- us, we can't be indifferent, right?"
The commissar said: "We will put the sentinels farther away and let them go to investigate the situation until the situation is clarified." ”
"Okay, you can bother with it!" Captain Wang pointed to the battle report that was only opened on the table, and said with a difficult face, "And this --- is really hard to say, although the monkey was rescued, it involved the huge mother who supported the army, this ......"
"Yes!" the political commissar nodded with a solemn expression, "This matter can't be known to Da Da Niang no matter what, she is seriously ill now, how did she receive such a cruel blow......"
"Every day, we send someone to take care of Da Da Niang, no matter how big or small, no matter what difficulties we encounter, we must find ways to solve them, and we must treat Da Da Niang as the mother of our guerrillas to be honored. Captain Wang's eyebrows were furrowed, and his heart was heavy.
"It's natural, I'm going to arrange these things now. As soon as the words fell, the political commissar left the war room.
The next day, the sky was slightly bright, and the "dark whistle" in the back mountain returned.
After learning that the gunfire last night was a precautionary plan made in advance by the devils to escort a special train loaded with important strategic materials, the devils carried out artillery bombardment and strafing along the railway line at a distance of 40 to 50 meters on both sides, and the purpose of this was to frighten the anti-Japanese and anti-war elements along the line, and they did not want to repeat the mistake of the past when materials were looted at every turn.
When Captain Wang heard that a special train transporting important strategic materials was going to pass through in the near future, Captain Wang lit a cigarette and said "important strategic materials ......" with a smile
After a while, he turned to look at the map on the wall, and compared it with a pencil, the political commissar and the sentry stared at his back, although neither of them said a word, but they both understood in their hearts that Captain Wang was worried about the devil's supplies, and was thinking about how to swallow this big fat meat in one bite.
"Can we promote democracy, I would like to express my own views. The sentry knew Captain Wang's idea of fighting devil supplies, and he was a little worried, but he was afraid of attracting the reprimand of Captain Wang and the political commissar.
"What's the matter, when are we not talking about democracy?" the political commissar glanced at the sentry with a smile and added, "If you have any ideas, you can say whatever you want, and it doesn't hurt to say anything wrong." ”
Captain Wang was still facing the map, and the pencil in his hand was still swimming on the railway line.
"I don't think we can rob the devil's train carrying supplies. The sentry spoke timidly.
"Why?" Captain Wang suddenly turned around, with a straight face, glaring angrily, and asked puzzledly, "Let the enemy's strategic materials slip away from under your nose, don't you be greedy?
"I, I, I'm ......" The sentry trembled with fear when he saw Captain Wang's face.
"Comrade Captain, you listen to him finish his words first, it may or may not be reasonable. The political commissar hurriedly persuaded Captain Wang.
"If you have something to say, there is a fart, Lao Tzu listens to it, see what you can say. Captain Wang crossed Erlang's legs and sat in front of this sentry.
"Say, don't be afraid, it's okay to be right or wrong. The sentry's face was flushed, his waist was hunched, his legs trembled, like an angry little daughter-in-law, and the commissar patted him on the shoulder in order to dispel his scruples and timidity.
"Since it is a special train for the devil to transport strategic materials, we must dispatch heavy troops to defend it strictly, with our current strength, a car can still deal with it, and the special train is not capable of competing with it...... "The sentinel only said what he thought in his heart.
"In your opinion, I robbed the devil's car just to find death, right?" Captain Wang glared at the sentry with his eyes like brass bells.
"It's a little overwhelming...... "As soon as the sentry said the words, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly lowered his head.
"Rabbit cub, you dare to say that I don't measure myself, I think you want to rebel. Captain Wang picked up his hat, but the political commissar hurriedly blocked it, and persuaded, "I think he said it very well and has a lot of ideas, which is helpful for our work!"
"Why do you still say good things for him?" Captain Wang lit a cigarette and sat crooked.
"Okay, you go back first, and report any new trends to the team headquarters in time. The political commissar sent the sentry away, and when the sentry left, he said to Captain Wang, "You want to be a devil, that's right, but so are our soldiers." Before the war, it is beneficial for our actions to fully understand the relevant information, and we should not put on the hat of rebellion just because the words are unpleasant!"
Captain Wang held back for a long time, and laughed "poof", and the political commissar also laughed.
"I have an idea, why don't we discuss this matter with the commanders of the various groups, see what opinions they have, and then summarize them after listening to them, wouldn't this be more conducive to unifying the thinking of the troops?"
"Is this necessary?" Captain Wang looked at the political commissar with strange eyes.
"Yes, it's necessary. The commissar grinned.
After lunch, the team leaders gathered in the war room to discuss the course of action.
The atmosphere of the venue was very lively, and the views were also very clear, and the robbery and non-robbery formed two irreconcilable forces, and there was a fierce quarrel for a time, and there was almost a big fight, but fortunately, there was Captain Wang and the political commissar to mediate.
In the end, the whole discussion broke up unhappily, and there was no compromise between the two different views.
After the group leaders left, Captain Wang began to complain about the political commissar, saying that the practice of soliciting opinions not only did not achieve the goal of unifying thinking, but on the contrary, it also hurt everyone's harmony.
The political commissar was also unhappy, glared at Captain Wang, turned around and left the war room.
The political commissar knew that Captain Wang would go to him, and for such a major matter, it was obvious that "robbery or non-robbery" could not make a simple decision, and the pointer of inner contradictions kept wandering around these two extremes, and he really didn't know what to do.
Coming out of the war room, the political commissar walked around the courtyard and came to the infirmary, nominally to see Team Leader Guan and Qiao Xiaojing, but in fact, to calm down and ponder, weighing the pros and cons.
The guerrillas had limited space, and Captain Wang quickly found the infirmary.
At this time, Team Leader Guan had recovered day by day, while Qiao Xiaojing was still in a coma.
After a pleasant greeting, everyone quickly talked about the topic of "robbing the devil's strategic materials", and Captain Wang and the political commissar suddenly showed endless embarrassment, and the two of them sighed for a long time.
Team Leader Guan initially thought that he could fight, but soon changed his mind, and then he was deeply conflicted.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Cuiyu felt sad and indignant.
"What's wrong with you, sighing here, can you let the devil die? I'm not a warrior, but I have listened to books since I was a child, and I also know the truth of sacrificing my life for righteousness. Jade said with a straight face.
Everyone was stunned.
