Chapter 13: 'Tail'
Li Qingming put down the fast son and said, "It's quite calm, how can you say this?" ”
Zhang Wangcai put down the chicken leg in his hand, picked up a handkerchief next to him and wiped his greasy hand, and said: "Recently, there has been a disturbance again, I heard that it is a team called the Red Army, specializing in landlords like you and me who control all the land in the village. ”
Li Qingming paused, his eyes were a little frozen, and he pretended to be calm and asked, "Red Army?" How come I haven't heard of it? ”
"These are all gossip to hear, last year the most fierce trouble, and then the White Army came, it seems to have calmed down, some time ago we went to the county seat, met an old acquaintance, this person is powerful in the White Army, told us that there is a Red Army in West Hankou, specializing in fighting landlords, two village landlords suffered and were killed by the Red Army, the same method as last year."
Li Qingming could see that when Zhang Wangcai said this again, his expression was obviously nervous, and his heart was also slightly relieved, and asked: "Xihankou, it's one hundred and eighty miles away from here, you can't beat it, don't worry." ”
Zhang Wangcai said: "Brother, you can't say that, this Red Army is very tenacious, the national army has been suppressed for two years, just calmed down for a few months, and it started to make trouble again, first on the Ningcheng side, and now it has run to West Hankou, maybe when it will run to our side." ”
Seeing Li Qingming's thoughtful appearance, Zhang Wangcai said: "When the time comes, it will be on our side, and it will be a shot to our head when it rushes into the village, who is crying." ”
The other party mentioned this matter to him intentionally or unintentionally, Li Qingming thought for a while and asked, "Is there anything that can be done by my brother?" ”
Zhang Wangcai said: "Of course there is, let's unite to fight against this emerging team, our acquaintance told us that this team depends on the peasants, we only need to unite to suppress the restless peasants, so that they understand who is the sky in the countryside, so that even if the Red Army comes, they are not afraid, the peasants are afraid of us, and they dare not resist at all!" ”
"My brother told you that this person is like a livestock, if you don't care about it, it will think that you have no majesty, dare to do anything, you have to beat, you have to scold, you have to whip them with the whip in your hand, and when it hurts, they will know that they are afraid!"
"I'll tell you the truth, my brother has united the two villages, let's join forces, plus with the help of the brothers of the national army, I want to see who dares to move us!"
Li Qingming was furious in his heart, this guy actually tried to unite all the landlords against the peasants, he knew in his heart that the Red Army had brought a good life to the peasants, and those who opposed the Red Army were basically enemies.
Considering his identity, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and said: "Brother, your method is really good, but I'm not interested, I'm going back after the transaction, there are still many things waiting for me to get in the village, I'm sorry." ”
After that, he got up, and when he left, he said: "Brother advises my brother, treat the peasants well, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, Xiao Wu, let's go with things." ”
Seeing Li Qingming leave like this, Zhang Wangcai angrily picked up the wine glass on the table and slammed it on the ground, with a somewhat hideous expression and scolded: "What kind of thing is he, let's respect him and call him a brother, disrespect him, the landlord of a small village, let's kill him directly and rob him of his things!" ”
Zhang Wangcai was angry in his heart, sat on the stool, and waved his hand to the housekeeper next to him, "Go, ask two people to follow them, let's see where his village is, find the location, take the guy directly tonight, dare to treat us like this, tell him that the only person in the world who has this attitude towards us is our father, what kind of thing is he, tonight he will pick up his family, let's clean him up fiercely!" ”
Li Qingming walked in the village in a hurry, and a group of soldiers beside him asked him what had happened, Li Qingming said: "Zhang Wangcai tried to unite with the landlords to deal with us peasants, exploited us, and even tried to make us feel afraid, so that we would not resist, wishful thinking." ”
"What, unite the landlords to deal with us!"
"It's so damnable!"
"Deputy company commander, we can't let him succeed!"
"When you go back, tell the company commander that you must punish him severely!"
"Yes!"
The soldiers were furious, they never imagined that this hateful landlords would not only only want to exploit them, but even unite to suppress them, which would never happen.
"Don't worry, I will never let go of this landlord easily, and tell the company commander when I go back!"
Li Qingming took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked again: "By the way, has the comrade in charge of the investigation completed the task?" ”
"It's done, the crimes committed by the landlord in the village have caused irreparable damage to the villagers of Laohe Village, they are full of hatred for the landlord, as long as we come, they will definitely respond positively."
A fighter responded.
"That's fine, how do we discuss how to deal with them when we go back!" Li Qingming looked at the lamb and calf, and asked, "How are the lambs and calves, are there any sick?" ”
"No, even if the landlord has a conscience, these lambs are working well, and the ewes are pregnant with four, and they will be born after a while."
A soldier asked with some curiosity: "Deputy company commander, what are we doing with so many lambs and calves?" ”
Li Qingming said: "Of course, it is raised for the villagers, and when these lambs and calves grow up, they can give birth to lambs, in the words of our company commander, what is it called sustainable breeding." ”
"So that's the case, our company commander is really smart, and there are many things that we can't even think of."
A soldier asked again: "By the way, deputy company commander, do you know what happened to our company commander before?" I only heard my mother say that the company commander's father was beaten to death by the landlord, and my mother disappeared after going crazy, and the company commander was sold to the county seat. ”
Li Qingming said: "I don't know much, I heard the company commander mention it, saying that he joined the Red Army, but soon encountered the encirclement and suppression of the White Army, the team was scattered, he also lost contact with the large army, and returned to our village, I guess the company commander was inspired by the Red Army team, and he thought of returning to our village to fight the landlord." ”
"I see."
Guys kind of get it.
A group of soldiers under the leadership of Li Qingming, carrying lambs and calves ready to go home, in the village, two sneaky figures quietly followed, and on the other side, the soldiers of the second squad that had been investigated, under the leadership of the second squad leader, were ready to continue along the mountains and forests, hanging behind the ass of the first squad and being responsible for the broken back.
A soldier ran over quickly, "Squad leader, there are two tails behind the ass of the squad!" ”
The daily training has improved the soldiers' military literacy a lot, after all, they are all farmers, and if they want to quickly improve their military literacy, they only have to keep training, Xia Yuan has worked hard in this regard, in addition to eating, it is for their training, after all, there is no task in their bodies, so they have made great efforts to improve their military skills.
Although they are not up to a qualified soldier, they already have a lot of military literacy.
In the face of emergencies, first of all, we must report to the cadres, this is the core, resolutely resist unauthorized actions, in this regard, Xia Yuan is a strong attitude to ask the squad leaders of each platoon to inform them in place, soldiers should obey orders as their duty, it is also Xia Yuan uphold a tough attitude, in this area of promotion is very rapid.
The forward scouts found the enemy's tail and did not act on their own, but informed the squad leader at the first time.
The second squad leader asked, "Are you sure there are only two people!?" No one else? ”
The fighter in charge of reconnaissance said: "It is certain that the enemy was not found in the rear. ”
The second squad leader asked again: "Can they carry weapons?" ”
The scouting fighter said: "Two guns were carried. ”
The second squad leader frowned and said, "Don't act, continue to observe, and let Wu Xiaoliu inform the deputy company commander so that they can take precautions." ”
"Yes!"
The scout quickly left, delivering the order.
The leader of the second squad ordered the team to stop near the road to observe whether there were any enemy troops in Laohe Village, and after careful observation, after making sure that there were only two tails behind the buttocks of the first squad and no other tails, he thought about how to catch these two tails.
"You can't let them follow you to the village, you have to act in advance!"
The second squad leader is not stupid, when the whole village meeting was held before, the company commander specially mentioned at the meeting that everything has just started, and the developed armed forces are not enough to deal with all kinds of emergencies, and once the situation in Nianping Village is exposed, the previous efforts will be in vain.
These two followed a group of ass as tails, not knowing what to do again, but definitely not a good thing.
"Go, tell the deputy company commander, let's get ready to act, catch the tail!"
The second squad leader asked a soldier to run to the front of the group to inform the deputy company commander, but the deputy company commander sent three soldiers over and told the second squad leader that he would cooperate with them to act together and catch the two tails.
After following the information brought by the three fighters, the second squad leader immediately assigned the task.
"Six fighters are surrounded in front and the others are intercepted behind them, be sure to get off their guns as quickly as possible, and ask them for their purpose!"
"Yes!"
The second squad quickly launched an action and quickly chased after the first shift.
The forward speed of a class is not fast, even a relatively slow forward speed, the two tails can not go too fast, can only hang far away, the distance between the two sides is maintained a distance of one or two hundred meters, when encountering a detour, the tail will speed up, and when encountering a straight road, the tail will slow down.
The purpose is obvious, that is, to make sure that you follow the ass of a class and not get too far behind a class.
"Bucktooth, hurry up, hurry up, they're all far away."
One of the two tails looks chubby, with a beard on either side of the mouth, and the other has a particularly prominent tooth, which raises the upper lip to the top of the age.
"Mustache, can you slow down, I'm tired, grandma's, aren't those guys tired? I've been walking for so long, and I don't even take a break. ”
Bucktooth tightened the gun behind him, and said breathlessly.
"You're walking slowly now, if you go back with you and see how the master cleans you up, I guess I'll hang you up and beat you."
The beard scolded and scolded, and secretly scolded the buckteeth in his heart for being a waste, if they lost it, they couldn't explain it when they went back, but this bucktooth was too much of a drag, gritting his teeth, he said: "Buckteeth, I'll follow first, you rest and rest and hurry up, don't ink behind your buttocks, you know?" ”
Bucktooth sat on the side of the road, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Okay, okay, I know, you go first, and I'll follow." ”
Seeing that the beard was gone, Bucktooth gasped, thinking that he could finally rest.
Seeing that the beard disappeared around the bend in front of him, Bucktooth quickly got up and chased after him.
"Just around the corner ahead, get ready to move, and control the one behind you first."
The second squad leader gave the battle order, and the soldiers around him got out of the dense grass and rushed quickly to the road, and there were also soldiers on the mountains on both sides of the front who rushed to the road down the mountain.
I don't know why the buckteeth wiped the sweat, was walking forward, suddenly heard the movement from the mountain, turned his head to look, almost frightened to the soul, five or six figures in front of him were rushing down from the mountain quickly, everyone was carrying a gun, seeing the wrong bucktooth turned his head to run, I don't know when I rushed down five or six behind him, rushed to the road and directly put the gun on his head.
As soon as Bucktooth held the gun in his arms, the other party's cold voice floated to his ears: "Don't move!" Hands up, or we'll shoot! ”
Hearing the voice, the buckteeth trembled, and quickly raised his hands: "Spare your life, spare your life, all heroes, spare your life, I am Zhang Wangcai's subordinate in Laohe Village, you must know my master, you are wrong, you are wrong." ”
Bucktooth obviously regarded this group of people as bandits in the mountains, most of the bandits were related to the landlords in the village, and even many of the bandits themselves were local owners, with guns and land in their hands, and they might know Zhang Wangcai and let themselves go.
The second squad leader frowned, as a farmer, he naturally knew that the landlord and the mountain bandits colluded, and even the landlord of Nianping Village colluded with a mountain bandit, and every year they had to send some grain to each other, otherwise the landlord would let the mountain bandits go down the mountain to rob property, food and women.
But now Nianping Village is not what it used to be, the Red Army came, had its own armed forces, and defeated the landlords, even if the mountain bandits came, they had to weigh it.
"Be honest." The second squad leader kicked his buckteeth, and said, "Tie it up, catch the other one, and take it back to the company commander for interrogation!" ”
"Yes!"
The warrior quickly stepped forward and handed over the bucktooth's gun, threw it to the warrior beside him, took out the rope he carried with him from his arms, tied the bucktooth's hands, and escorted him by two warriors, while the other warriors chased after him and tied the mustache as well.
After walking a short distance, Li Qingming was waiting in front with someone, and when he saw someone coming, a smile appeared on his face.
The second squad leader walked over and said, "Deputy company commander, everything is going well, both tails have been caught." ”
Li Qingming opened his mouth and said, "Take it back and hand it over to the company commander for interrogation!" ”
"Yes!"
