There is a saying that goes, a poor man has little ambition, and a thin horse has long hair.
The Ninth Company was destined to be a difficult child since the day it was born in a poor independent regiment. It did not understand the rules like the eldest brother, did not have the strong physique like the second brother, and was not as idealistic as the third brother. Captain Lu was an unruly father. Fortunately, thanks to the tolerant mother, Political Commissar Ding, the Ninth Company has survived to this day and did not die young.
It seems that in ordinary families, the most willful one among brothers is always the youngest. However, no matter how bad the Ninth Company is, it is still the biological son of the Independent Regiment. Why did Captain Lu inexplicably order Wu Yan to be carried away? Only two people in the entire Independent Regiment could guess it, one was Political Commissar Ding, and the other was Xiao Hongying.
He doesn't want to be the knife of the investigation team again and again!
…
The investigation team consists of five people, including a team leader, two clerks and two guards. At present, Su Qing is isolated, and a clerk is guarding the door; Hu Yi is imprisoned, and a guard is guarding the door. Now Xiao Hongying has surrendered herself, and she has to be imprisoned even if she doesn't want to, and she can't be locked up with the previous people, so they have to requisition a third confinement place, and the guard who was originally standing guard at the company entrance is changed to guard Xiao Hongying.
But the problem is that this investigation cannot be completed in one or two days. Even if Team Leader Zheng works two shifts, there are not enough people to change shifts. How can we investigate then
It was almost noon, and Team Leader Zheng was just thinking about the shortage of manpower. When he was in Dabei Village, he had a bad time with Captain Lu and Political Commissar Ding and failed to get their cooperation. Of course, Team Leader Zheng had quite a bit of experience in investigative work, and he was used to being unwelcome everywhere. He had the imperial sword in his hand, and he had to rely on himself to solve all problems.
After walking out of the company's wooden house, he saw a soldier covered in dust walking past the door. So Team Leader Zheng raised his hand and said, "Please go find your instructor."
The soldier stopped like a zombie, his neck twisted to the side like a machine, his eyes were dull and made Team Leader Zheng feel uncomfortable: "Why don't you open the window?"
"What?"
"Why don't you open the window for the girl?"
"I told you to go find your instructor!"
“You need to take the window down.”
"I said I want to find your instructor, what kind of window do you want to remove?"
“I can’t deliver food.”
"… "
If it weren't for the silly potato look of the soldier, Team Leader Zheng would definitely think he was talking to a foreigner, and he was so upset that he couldn't communicate! He was so upset that he didn't know how to respond to the second line. Then he saw another soldier walking towards him. His uniform was cleaner than the potato in front of him, but he looked cowardly from all angles. His hat was crooked, and he looked like a gangster. He was carrying an eye-catching horse four-ring, and I don't know why his eyes were black!
He didn't care about being annoyed or trying to teach him a lesson, so he quickly turned to the silly potato and asked, "Is this also a soldier from your company?"
"Ah? Oh! Sir, it's not... that chief. He's a fool. Stay away from him. He really bites!"
"What the hell? Forget it, um... Go and get your instructor to come over for me."
"Are you talking about Lao Qin? He returned to the regiment and left with the first company."
"Gone? Then... go find your company deputy."
"The Ninth Company has no deputy."
"No deputy company commander? Then who is in charge here now?"
"No one cares. That's why I came to find you!"
"You're looking for me? What do you want from me?"
"Complain!"
He had just detained a girl who surrendered herself, and now when he heard these two words, he couldn't help but feel confused. How could he do his job if he continued like this? But the soldier had already opened his mouth, and he couldn't pretend not to hear: "Wait a minute, okay?"
"I can't wait! It's already noon and I'm so hungry. I'm going to complain to the kitchen staff that Wang Xiaosan didn't cook!"
It has nothing to do with the sheep's head! Team leader Zheng let out a sigh of relief, and finally felt like putting his hands behind his back. Suddenly, he thought, isn't it true? I'm hungry too, why don't we have dinner yet? He raised his head to signal for the lead, and headed straight to the shabby kitchen of the wine station.
But there was no one in the kitchen, not even a grain of rice. There was no fire, no smoke, and the pot was cold. It was a wasted trip.
Team leader Zheng was unhappy: "Where is your cook?"
A soldier passing by stopped and said, "He... is injured and has gone to the wounded area."
"Injured? How did you get injured?"
The soldier raised his hand and pointed at the crooked hat following behind Team Leader Zheng: "He hit me."
"… "
The man with the crooked hat and crackling eyes suddenly pointed at his own black eye and cried out, "Impossible! My injury is much worse than his!"
What does this mean? Team leader Zheng was serious. This was not a question of whether they were hungry or not, nor was it a question of whether they could cook or not. This meant that the Ninth Company was in disarray and was completely useless! If the investigation was to continue smoothly, the Ninth Company must be managed first.
After returning to the company's wooden house, Team Leader Zheng drank a large jar of boiled water in one breath. His hunger disappeared and he regained his spirit. He sat up straight. The company commander was locked up, the instructor had returned to the regiment, and the deputy company commander was gone. Well, I will set up the stage myself and ask the platoon leader of the 9th Company to come and see him!
Soon, a general entered the tent. He had a neat and handsome appearance, a handsome face with a few light scars, and a calm and composed manner. He was neither humble nor overbearing. "First Platoon Leader of the Ninth Company, Ma Liang."
Team leader Zheng was pleased with the result and praised him secretly: "What a great guy! So handsome! This is the one!"
"From now on, you will temporarily take over as the commander of the Ninth Company. Collect this mess of loose sand for me. Do you understand?"
"clear."
The answer was also straightforward and beautiful, with the voice and tone being just right, neither too loud nor too soft.
However, less than five minutes after the new acting company commander left the tent, a gunshot was heard in the wine station, shocking Team Leader Zheng so much that he rushed out.
Ma Liang was shot! His own gun went off accidentally, and the bullet pierced the outside of his thigh on the side where the gun was hung. He was put on a stretcher covered in blood, but his mission was unsuccessful!
Back at the company's wooden house, Team Leader Zheng drank another large jar of boiled water. The first platoon leader could not be relied upon. Was it really an accident? Very disappointed, Xuan, the second platoon leader of the ninth company!
Soon, a general entered the tent. He had a red face, frowned eyebrows, and a tough military posture. He had a gloomy look by nature, but his firmness revealed a bit of blood and his chest was held high. "Second Platoon Leader of the Ninth Company, Tian Sanqi."
Team leader Zheng was very happy to see this and secretly praised: This guy! He has great courage! He will definitely be able to scare off the wolves!
"From now on, you will temporarily take over as the commander of the Ninth Company. Collect this mess of loose sand for me. Do you understand?"
"I refuse."
"Hmm. So what do you say next?"
"I refuse to take over as the commander of the Ninth Company. I am unqualified."
"What if I say this is an order?"
"I am willing to accept military punishment."
"you… "
The previous one dared to shoot at him, this one was so righteous, and they all looked like heroes, so why did they all act so perversely? Team leader Zheng's face turned pale, and he hesitated again and again, and didn't say anything more. Would he lock up Tian Sanqi again? There is no manpower yet! He couldn't help but secretly hate the previous shot, which was simply a flag of rebellion! Team leader Zheng didn't know that the real flag of rebellion should have been raised from the moment Xiao Hongying surrendered.
He picked up another large jar of boiled water, but put it down after just two sips. He couldn't drink it anymore. Xuan, the third platoon leader of the ninth company!
Soon, the clerk came in to report: The third platoon leader of the ninth company is named Luo Fugui. He is currently unable to get out of bed. It is said that he has caught a cold, and it looks like his condition is worse than a cold. He is as thin as a bear and looks very ill. He looks so dispirited that it is doubtful whether he can live to see tomorrow!
With a bang, the unlucky big teacup became Team Leader Zheng's punching bag, and the water left in it spilled over half of the table: "I still don't believe this! There's no platoon leader anymore, right? It doesn't matter. If there's no platoon leader, then appoint a deputy platoon leader!"
Soon, a general came into the tent. He walked slowly, stood unsteadily, and had burn marks on his face. After entering the room, he just stared at the ground like an idle person.
"You are the deputy of the third platoon, Li Xiang?"
"I am."
"Listen carefully. I will not accept any excuses, nor will I ask for your opinion. I now order you to temporarily take over as the commander of the Ninth Company. Gather this mess of loose sand for me, and then select trustworthy soldiers to assist the investigation team in completing the investigation."
"I quit."
"What do you mean you're not doing it anymore?"
"I don't want to be a soldier anymore... I've always been a coward... Every day, every night, every moment, I live in pain... I... shouldn't be alive... That kind of suffering is like fingernails scratching on iron plates, scratching non-stop..."
"Stop, stop, stop... Stop right there, do you hear me? Don't catch him!" Team leader Zheng thought to himself that this guy must be mentally ill. What kind of person is this? How can he be a deputy platoon leader like this? "You can go back now!" Then he said to the clerk beside him, "Call the next one."
The clerk scratched the back of his head: "There is no next one."
"What's the meaning?"
"There is only one deputy platoon leader in the Ninth Company."
"… "
