Panting, Ma Liang stopped by holding onto a small tree and shouted, "That's enough, stop running!"
"Why?" Luo Fugui was running so excitedly that he didn't even notice that two people were missing from Class 9.
"Why do you think so? Look behind you. The squad leader and the girl have been arrested!"
Because the second company stopped, the distance had widened to more than a hundred meters. Luo Fugui, Liu Jianqiang and Wu Shitou looked back carefully, and finally fell to the ground gasping for breath.
"What's wrong with Boss Hu? He's usually very efficient. Sigh..." Luo Fugui looked dejected and very unhappy.
Ma Liang was not like the other three who ran blindly. He usually led the way and made it a habit to observe while running. He saw the process of Hu Yi and the girl being captured. Now, when he heard Luo Fugui complaining, he couldn't help but say to Luo Fugui: "The squad leader is carrying the girl. Can he outrun that crazy guy Gao Yidao?"
From the beginning when Hu Yi said he wanted to run away, Liu Jianqiang had some disagreements in his heart. They were all comrades in the same regiment, and Liu Jianqiang's relationship with the second company was not too bad. It was reasonable to share the chickens after sharing the hardships. Why did it have to be like this? With the squad leader around, he reserved his opinion and followed the order. Now that the squad leader was captured, he felt that he needed to say a few words.
"I think it's wrong for the squad leader to do this! We are all comrades, and we are all brothers in arms. When we are in trouble, you are reluctant to share even a bite of food with us. Are we still the Eighth Route Army?"
Whenever Liu Jianqiang spoke, Luo Fugui got a headache: "Runny Nose, stop talking nonsense! Who is that behind? It's the Second Company, do you understand? Are they being polite to us? Hmm? Do they treat us as comrades? Hmm? You are a traitor, and you still have the nerve to talk?"
Liu Jianqiang was so angry: "Sharing weal and woe is the duty of the Eighth Route Army! Who do you think is betraying his own people?"
"I'm talking about you. What's the matter? I caught this chicken. I don't care who I give it to. It's none of my business if his second company starves to death!"
"You..." Liu Jianqiang's face turned red and his neck became thick. He stood up suddenly when he looked at Luo Fugui, who was selfish and had no sense of public morality.
"Alright, alright, stop talking nonsense!" Ma Liang saw the signs of infighting and quickly stopped them. Then he said to Liu Jianqiang, "Snotty, don't be too extreme. Think about it, when we first came out, we only had two days' rations, but our squad leader distributed them all to Lao Luo and his men. We also gave away a large cart of food and an ox cart to our friendly forces. So today's incident cannot be blamed entirely on the squad leader. We can only blame them on the Second Company. I know you have a friendship with the Second Company, but we have a special relationship with them. If you really can't accept it, then you should be transferred to the Second Company, or you can go now."
Ma Liang has an active mind and looks at problems relatively comprehensively. Captain Wang begged for half a cart of food on his knees, but Hu Yi even gave him the cart. In terms of value, the value of the cow exceeded that of a cart of food. To be honest, Ma Liang felt very distressed at the time and almost tried to dissuade Hu Yi. The independent regiment was also short of food and on the brink of crisis. No matter who it was, they would have just unloaded half a cart of food. Ma Liang couldn't understand Hu Yi's behavior at first, but after thinking about it all the way, he finally understood that squad leader Hu Yi might not be a compassionate person, but he had a soldier's heart! The value of a soldier's dignity exceeds that cart of food, even if an ox cart was added. Therefore, Ma Liang was very proud that Hu Yi was his squad leader!
Ma Liang's words were well-reasoned, soft yet firm, and made Liu Jianqiang sigh and bow his head in silence. In the final analysis, it was still the hatred between Class 9 and Company 2, an internal conflict. Liu Jianqiang could only helplessly reposition his position in his heart. Who made him destined to be a member of Class 9? He was worried.
…
The people in the second company sat on the hillside to rest and recover the energy they had just consumed.
Kuaitui came up to Gao Yidao and asked, "Captain, what should we do now?"
"What can I do? Just wait. If I, your captain, was tied up by Squad Nine, would you be able to leave me alone? Hmm?"
Kuaitui immediately put on a fearless look and said, "I'll take my brothers to fight him to the death!"
Gao Yidao spread his hands towards Kuaitui'er and said, "That's it. Just wait for those losers from Class 9 to bring chickens to exchange for people."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came over: "Hey - is there anyone breathing on the hillside? Answer me!"
The person who shouted was Luo Fugui. He returned to a place several dozen meters away from the second company and negotiated with the top of his voice. The chicken coop was left to Ma Liang and his men in the distance. Liu Jianqiang was too embarrassed to do such a thing, and Ma Liang was unwilling to do it. Wu Shitou was just a still life and had no qualifications. Luo Fugui was the deputy squad leader of the ninth squad. If he didn't come out to embarrass this person, who else could he let come out to embarrass him
Gao Yidao thought they were coming pretty fast, and took a few steps towards Luo Fugui at a leisurely pace: "Why, aren't you good at running? Why are you coming back now?"
The setting sun and the sunset glowed a bright red in the mountains. Luo Fugui, riding alone with his sword in hand, faced the soldiers of the Second Company on the hillside. He suddenly felt that this job was quite glorious. He could not afford to miss this opportunity and must not deal with it hastily. He had to show off a bit before he was satisfied. So he said, "Gao Yidao, stop talking nonsense and push the man out for me to see first. Otherwise, who knows if he has been killed by you!"
This sentence made the soldiers of the Second Company frown and roll their eyes. Has this bear listened to too many books or watched too many plays
Gao Yidao couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, "You guys in Class 9 are not embarrassed enough, so I'll make the guy named Hu look bad again." He turned around and told the fast runner, "Bring the guy over here, and make it a big deal!"
A dozen soldiers from the second company grabbed Hu Yi and Xiao Hongying, who were tied up, and pointed their bayonets left and right. The people behind them pushed and shoved, shouting and shoving the two hostages to Gao Yidao's side.
Seeing the swords flashing around him and the soldiers of the Second Company looking smug, the dusty Hu Yi felt upset. Too upset. He thought to himself, you mule, either just leave me and the girl to the Second Company and run as far as you can; or just hand over the chicken for the people and end it quickly. What's the point of this? What's the glory
The same thing, the same scene, different people will have different feelings after watching it. The shameless Luo Fugui felt that he was very glorious and powerful, and he didn't care what others thought; Gao Yidao felt relieved, the soldiers of the second company felt proud, Hu Yi felt upset, but the impulsive Xiao Hongying was into the play.
On the hillside, in the wind and sand, under the bayonet, the petite body stood proudly. Although her hands were tied behind her back, she held her head high, letting the blood-red glow of the sunset shine on her unyielding little face, which was glowing red. A pair of pigtails fluttered stubbornly in the wind, and her beautiful big eyes were filled with determination and perseverance.
"Mule, listen to me carefully. I am a Red Army soldier! I am still a Red Army soldier now! I will be a Red Army soldier all my life! My parents said that no one in the Red Army will bow their heads! Today, if you dare to abandon the people of the Ninth Squad, if you dare to let the Second Company get what they want, I will die on the spot to show you!"
Her voice was childish, but it was full of sorrow. The soldiers from the second company surrounding her were a little confused, and they all put away their bayonets with a loud noise. They were not afraid of the little girl, but were in awe of the word "Red Army".
The Red Army is an immortal monument, the Red Army is a heroic legend. In the minds of the soldiers, the Red Army is a bloody totem that cannot be tarnished and will never fall.
Hu Yi quietly looked at the pair of pigtails beside him, forgetting for a moment that he was in an absurd scene. Hu Yi did not know the Red Army, but had heard about it, so his feelings were different from those of the soldiers. He could not explain what this feeling was, but he suddenly remembered the book "On the Basic Tactics of Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Warfare - Attack" given to him by the political commissar. On the blank page of the last page of the book, there was a handwritten poem...
The sky is high and the clouds are light, and I can see the geese flying south.
He who has not been to the Great Wall is not a true man, a journey of 20,000 meters.
On the top of Liupan Mountain, red flags are fluttering in the west wind.
Today I have a long rope in my hand, when will I be able to tie up the blue dragon
