The sun is like fire, and the heat is unbearable.
A carriage appeared on Panshan Road, and a coffin was placed on the carriage. All four people in a party were dressed in plain clothes and looked sad.
Zhang Fengshan took the reins and walked at the forefront of the team. They slowly came to a checkpoint set up by the Japanese puppet army.
Four or five puppet soldiers in yellow uniforms stood under the sun, wiping sweat and scolding their mother.
"Grandma's, this horrible weather is so hot!"
"If only there was a watermelon to quench your thirst."
"You want to be beautiful, even if there is a watermelon, it's not our turn."
"There is a carriage coming, maybe there is a watermelon on it, we have to check it carefully, if there is, we will detain it, brothers, relieve the greed."
The leader of the puppet army waited for Zhang Fengshan and others to approach and shouted: "Stop! What's the matter?"
Zhang Fengshan said: "Boss, we are funeral."
The little boss glanced at the coffin on the car and muttered: "Unlucky, open it and check it."
Shui Sheng hugged a big watermelon and said, "Sir, it's convenient. It's not lucky to open the coffin."
The little boss saw that there was a watermelon, smiled, took the watermelon, raised his hand, and said, "Let it go!"
The two puppet troops were about to move away from the wooden fence and let them go. Two Japanese soldiers came out of the carved fort, chuckled and pulled the bolt, and aimed their guns at Zhang Fengshan and his party.
The small leader of the puppet army kindly handed the watermelon up and said: "Taijun, they are funerals."
The Japanese soldier raised his hand and knocked the watermelon to the ground, smashed it to pieces, and cursed: "Bigga!"
The little boss took a pity at the rotten watermelon and said, "Open the coffin for inspection!"
Shui Sheng blinked at Zhang Fengshan, indicating whether to do it? Zhang Fengshan understood what he meant, shook his head, and said, "Open the coffin!"
At this time, several devils came out of the Diaobao and surrounded Zhang Fengshan and others.
Shui Sheng and Hu Sheng untied the rope, pried open the cover of the coffin, revealing a corner, and then knelt on the ground, muttering in their mouths, meaning that the dead should forgive and don't bring disaster. Zhang Fengshan also knelt on the ground, pretending to wipe his tears.
The small leader of the pseudo-army led two of his men over. As soon as he approached the coffin, he covered his nose and ran away, yelling as he ran, "It smells! It's so smelly!"
Zhang Fengshan burst into tears and griefed: "Father, you have died so miserably."
The little leader of the pseudo army asked: "How did your father die?"
Zhang Fengshan replied: "He died of smallpox."
The little leader of the pseudo-army jumped three feet tall in terror. He went over to gesture to the devil. The two devil walked suspiciously to the coffin. They just approached the coffin and covered their noses, screaming, a devil nauseated and ran to the side and vomited. stand up.
Seeing this, the little leader of the puppet army hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, do you want to kill us?"
Upon hearing this, Shuisheng and Husheng quickly stepped forward to close the cover of the coffin and nailed it to death.
Zhang Fengshan stopped his grief and asked, "Boss, can we go now?"
The small leader of the pseudo army said: "Let's go, it's really bad luck!"
Zhang Fengshan and his party crossed the cordon and came to Longwan Street. When people saw them pulling a coffin, they all came to watch the excitement.
Upon hearing the news, Song Tiejun brought the county standing team and surrounded Zhang Fengshan and others.
Zhang Fengshan asked in surprise: "Chairman, what are you doing?"
Song Tiejun said: "Captain Zhang, Shixian County Chief ran away. I am under the order of the Provincial Party Headquarters and Wencheng Division Management District to conduct isolation review on you now."
Shui Sheng pulled out his pistol to protect Zhang Fengshan, and shouted: "Who dares to move, the guy in my hand doesn't have eyes."
Zhang Fengshan said: "Shuisheng, you must not be rude in front of the secretary general."
Shui Sheng put the gun away reluctantly.
Zhang Fengshan handed his gun to Song Tiejun and said, "Let's go."
In the temporary prison of the county party headquarters, Song Tiejun personally interrogated and asked: "Do you know that Shi Yong is a Communist Party?"
Zhang Fengshan pretended to be surprised, and said, "There is no label on his face, and even the secretary general can't tell it. Where do I know?"
This hit Song Tiejun’s sore spot, and he said angrily: "You two are singing the duo, and you are the leader of the Communist Party, codenamed'Captain', am I right?"
Zhang Fengshan knew that Shi Yong had escaped, and said with a sneer: "I don't know what'captain' and'crew' are. I only know that I am your person, codenamed'Flying Eagle'."
At this moment, Song Zhibao came in, pointed a gun at Zhang Fengshan's head, and said sharply: "The surname is Zhang, murder pays for his life, I want you to pay for it now."
Zhang Fengshan didn't change his face, and said, "You have been wronged and the debtor is the owner. When will I owe you my life? If you are convinced, if you shoot, I won't be a good guy if I blink.
Song Zhibao said: "Your corps killed my grandfather. You are the captain, so you should die."
Zhang Fengshan smiled and said: "According to your logic, I, Zhang Fengshan, have killed a lot of people, including the Communist Party and Japanese. As for my team members, the number of people killed is even more numerous. If you let me die, it seems that my life is not enough. It's divided." He specially emphasized the three words "Communist Party".
Song Tiejun shouted: "Get down, it's not your turn to speak here."
Song Zhibao put away the gun awkwardly and withdrew.
Song Tiejun continued to ask: "Shi Yong killed Guang Xiangjiu and Zhou Songru, do you know?"
Zhang Fengshan nodded and said, "I saw it in the newspaper."
"Don't you know his plan?"
"If I knew, I would definitely report to you as soon as possible."
"Why didn't you go out early and not late? Why go out to buy food at this time?"
"If I knew that County Mayor Shi would kill Xiangjiu and Zhou Songru and open a warehouse to release grain, why should I risk going to the Devil's site to buy grain? Besides, I'm going out to buy grain with your consent."
Song Tiejun was speechless. After a while, he changed the subject and asked: "How did you cross the devil's blockade?"
Zhang Fengshan talked about the experience of this trip. He put the purchased grain and salt on the bottom of the coffin, and wrapped the corpses of two dead dogs with red cloth on it, posing as dead people. Since it was summer, the dead dog's body was rotten and smelly. The puppet army and devils asked them to open the coffin and let them go as soon as they smelled the smell.
Song Tiejun admired Zhang Fengshan's wit and bravery, and said: "This kind of concealment can only be used once, and it won't work next time."
Zhang Fengshan said: "Our ancestors have a lot of tactics. I call it a little devil tossingly."
Song Tiejun sighed and said, "Your Xuebing team is now well-known, not only in the fifth theater, but also in Chongqing. I can't protect you this time."
Zhang Fengshan deliberately urged the general and said: "If the secretary can't trust me, I'll resign."
This trick really worked, Song Tiejun said: "Don't worry, wait a minute."
Before Shi Yong left Longwan, he asked Li Chunsuo and Huang Yubing to go with him to the fourth detachment of the New Fourth Army. The two said that they would bring the team out, but after a half step, they were stopped by the security team led by Ma Biao on the way back to Longwan. At the moment, he is locked in Liu Chenglong’s barracks with heavy guards outside.
Liu Chenglong was appointed as the commander of the Wencheng Division by the Fifth Theater, and the security regiment, standing brigade, and academic corps were unified under his command. He took the limelight to the academic team, and at this moment, seeing the arrest of two Communist Party members, he was as excited as a chicken blood, and interrogated him personally.
Li Chunsuo's hands were tied and hung from the roof beam.
Liu Chenglong waved his horse whip and said, "Li Chunsuo, I think you are young and talented, so I will show you a way to survive. As long as you provide the list of your organization, not only will you forget the past, but I also recommend that you become a member of the academy. team leader."
Li Chunsuo said coldly: "Thank you Commander Liu for your kind intentions! I just don't understand what the organization you are talking about? If you want a list of players, I can provide it."
Unlike Song Tiejun, Liu Chenglong couldn't stand his temper and cursed, "What sloppy do you fight with Lao Tzu? What I want is the list of Communist Party members in the Academy, not your list of players."
"I'm sorry, Commander, I let you down. I really don't know who the Communist Party is?"
"Dare you say you are not?"
"Of course I am not."
Liu Chenglong was furious. He drew his pistol from his waist "swipely" and pressed it to Li Chunsuo's chest. He said viciously, "Believe it or not, I shot you?"
Li Chunsuo had already made up his mind to sacrifice, and the radical general said: "If there is a kind, you will shoot!"
Liu Chenglong is a fierce temper, let alone being so humiliated by his subordinates. He opened the pistol insurance, pulled the trigger, and suddenly rushed up to a person next to him, holding up his gun arm, and the bullets were "beat". Hit the roof tiles and several pieces fell.
This person is Ma Biao. He said, "Commander, calm down! The chief secretary quickly sent a letter, saying that the two men would be sent to the provincial party headquarters for trial."
Liu Chenglong's boss was reluctant, knowing that Song Tiejun was robbing him of merit, and muttered: "What the hell did you do? It's better to kill them directly according to military law."
Ma Biao said: "Commander, Song Tiejun can't afford to offend him. I heard that he will soon be promoted to the province. At this time, if anyone blocks his way, he will turn his face and deny him."
Liu Chenglong said: "I am afraid of him."
Ma Biao said: "If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing wrong with it. Don't forget about Cui Shuqiang's surrender to the enemy. If he writes you on it, it will be enough for you to drink a pot."
Liu Chenglong was speechless, and Cui Shuqiang’s surrender to the enemy was his heart disease. At that time, he asked Song Tiejun to collect grain. Song Tiejun was always short of two pounds. He also said in a strange way that grain should be fed by useful people and cannot be fed to a bunch of waste. Do nothing. Liu Chenglong knew that he looked down on his patchwork local army, and reasoned with him that all the elite soldiers in the division had supported Taierzhuang in the war, and no one came back after hundreds of people went there. They were heroes, they were Guangxi. Human pride. Song Tiejun had to admit that what he said was the truth. The Taierzhuang battle was fought by the Gui family, and it was also the Kuomintang’s first big victory in the anti-Japanese war. In this bloody battle, the Gui family suffered a big loss and exhausted their talents, so now They began to conserve their strength, and the battle of Anton gave away large tracts of land to the Japanese. Song Tiejun had no choice but to say that the locality was very difficult. When the Japanese did not come, the rations levied by the county used to feed four to five thousand people. Now there are not too many people, but a large area of land is occupied by the Japanese, and the county offices and troops are shrunk. The projectile land in Longwan was sealed off by the Japanese like a copper wall and an iron wall. Even a god, he couldn't get the food rationed in the past. Liu Chenglong asked the troops what to do? Deserters have begun to appear now, can't you catch one back and kill one, right? Song Tiejun was dissatisfied with the provincial government controlled by the Gui family. At the beginning, Director Xu arranged him to the Provincial Government Investigation and Statistics Department. Chairman Liao thought he was in the way and sent him here for five or six years. I don’t know when he will be the head. . That is to say, the provincial government keeps saying that it will support us immediately, so you can just go to them and ask for it. Liu Chenglong knew that the province was writing a bad check, and even if he could get food, he would not be able to bring it in. But he couldn't just watch the soldiers flee and die from starvation, and finally finished playing together. At that time, he couldn't confess to the confrontation, and it was very likely that his head would also move. Liu Chenglong thought hard and could do nothing. In the end, his confidant Cui Shuqiang came up with a trick, and expressed his willingness to take a group of people to the Guizi’s place to have a meal, and bring them back when the difficulties here are over. Liu Chenglong knew that this was a surrender to the enemy, and asked what would happen if he was held accountable from above? Cui Shuqiang said that this is not a precedent, and no one else has heard of anyone to be held accountable. The above is really to blame, and he alone will bear the responsibility. Liu Chenglong thought that it was not as simple as Cui Shuqiang said, but that was the end of the matter, and there was only this, so he nodded in acquiescence. After Cui Shuqiang fell to the enemy, Song Tiejun came to the door and blamed Liu Chenglong for not ruling the army strictly. If Cui Shuqiang turned his gun and cooperated with the Japanese attack, Longwan would not be protected, and the county government would have nowhere to settle. Liu Chenglong said they were all hungry, and you don’t have enough food. Would you let my people drink northwest wind? Don’t forget that they have guns in their hands. If there is a mutiny or robbing the people, thenWhen you and I can't eat and walk around. Song Tiejun knew that Liu Chenglong was threatening him, because the people didn't have any food in their hands. Those who really had food in their hands were the big households of Guangxiangjiu. When they were in a hurry, the dogs would jump over the wall, let alone those with guys in their hands? Just say who and whom are we two? Don't worry, I have prevaricated on it for you, saying that in order to preserve your strength, you sent some incompetent wounded and sick home, but these people surrendered to the enemy on the way. Knowing that he was lying, Liu Chenglong wanted to find the stairs, so he went down the donkey and thanked him.
"Head Ma, you take the people away." Liu Chenglong knew that Song Tiejun was insidious and cunning, Guang Xiangjiu and Zhou Song had no evidence of death. He kept everything clean, and all the responsibilities were transferred to the head of Shi County. He grabbed the braid in his hands, and he had a backstage in Chongqing, so it is better not to sin against his plague god.
Ma Biao took a group of people, escorted Li Chunsuo and Huang Yubing on the road, and arrived at Longwan Primary School. The school has been on holiday and there is no one inside.
In the evening, Song Tiejun came, wearing a black cloak, floating in like a ghost, silently.
Ma Biao has been waiting here for two or three hours. He is a little impatient. He wants to stay out of the way during the day, and walk the dark road at night. Not to mention his own danger, what if the prisoner runs away or seeks death? But Song Tiejun told him unambiguously to bring people here, and he had to wait until he came. Ma Biao didn't know what medicine he sold in the gourd, so he obeyed the order and waited here.
"Where are the people?" Song Tiejun's voice was gloomy, uttering in the dark, making people get goose bumps all over.
"Closed in the back classroom." Ma Biao increased his spirit when he saw him show up.
"Liu Chenglong, the old guy didn't embarrass you, right?"
"That idiot, if I hadn't arrived in time, they would have killed these two people."
Song Tiejun snorted, "What's this?"
Ma Biao nodded and said, "He only knows how to use rough words. If he can't ask three sentences, he will kill people. Who knows that the Communist Party doesn't follow this practice."
When Song Tiejun saw Ma Biao following him and growing up quite a bit, he deliberately tested him: "In your opinion, are these two people the Communist Party?"
Ma Biao said: "It's a bit like, at least they have one thing in common with the Communist Party, that is, their bones are hard."
Song Tiejun nodded and said, "Then we have work tonight, and you immediately send someone back to move the guy here."
Ma Biao was a little surprised, didn't Song Tiejun find it troublesome, so he asked, "Why didn't he bring it back to the county party office for trial?"
Song Tiejun scolded, "Why is there so much nonsense? Do whatever you tell you to do, I have my own arrangements."
When the "eighteen martial arts" were displayed in front of Li Chunsuo one by one, Song Tiejun came in and looked at him tied to the pillar and beaten to blood by a whip, and his opponent cursed: "Who let you beat him?"
Ma Biao said: "The chief secretary of the report, it was not us, but Liu Chenglong."
"This old bastard is so cruel. It's just a beast." Song Tiejun cursed, and he untied Li Chunsuo's rope himself. "Brother Li, you have suffered. It's all because I was delayed in the province and didn't catch up in time Come back and save you."
Li Chunsuo knew that Song Tiejun was acting. If he saved himself, why didn't he take him back to the academy, instead he was locked in such an empty school. He thought that since you are acting, I will accompany you to the end. When will your fox tail show up? "Chairman, it doesn't matter if my subordinates are wronged. I was born as a member of the party-state, and death is the ghost of the party-state. But what makes me feel chill is that I didn't die on the battlefield of killing the enemy. I almost died at my own gun. ."
Song Tiejun moved over a chair, let Li Chunsuo sit down, and then sat opposite him. "Brother Li, you probably know a little bit about the party's affairs. The reason why the central government's decree fails is that the local governments are in their own hands. The current cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is the trend, and the ancients said that'brothers are of one heart, and the benefits are cut off.' Tongde, we can definitely defeat the Japanese invaders and realize the unity of the country and the nation. However, some local factions are narrow-minded, engage in small groupism, and preserve their strength. They cannot tolerate the Communist Party to grab territory with them, and regard the Communist Party as a scourge. This kind of thinking is harmful to the current war of resistance, but not beneficial. I wonder if you agree with me?"
