The command of the ninth squad was temporarily given to Su Qing, but this did not make her feel better. She was a party member and an excellent intelligence worker, but she was completely an outsider in commanding battles and making plans. She also knew that she was no match for Hu Yi in this regard. Through her experience in Jiangnan, she also knew that Hu Yi had a fearless side and was not completely a coward, but Su Qing could also see that Hu Yi's fearlessness was not based on national beliefs. He was a selfish person who only cared about himself or what he cared about. In Su Qing's eyes, Hu Yi, this scum, was a soulless person.
The enemy might not be able to get rid of it. Su Qing could sacrifice herself for the independent regiment, but could Hu Yi? Su Qing absolutely did not believe that Hu Yi had this awareness. In addition, she had a subjective hatred for Hu Yi, so she knew that she was an outsider but still wanted to control the situation. She wanted to lead the 9th squad to change direction and get away from the scope of the independent regiment. She would rather starve to death in this desolate mountain than to ensure the concealment and safety of the independent regiment.
At this moment, several people in Class 9 were watching her quietly, waiting for her, the new commander, to make a decision. Su Qing had no idea about the details of the plan, and she only knew that she had to change direction. The independent regiment was in the west, so she raised her hand and pointed to the north: "North, set off now!"
On the way here, Ma Liang was the vanguard when marching and the sentry when stopping, just like a popular commodity. Liu Jianqiang was very dissatisfied with Hu Yi's arrangement and asked Hu Yi to let him be the vanguard, but Hu Yi refused. Now that Secretary Su is the leader, it is his turn to show his ability, so Liu Jianqiang quickly asked: "Secretary Su, I want to be the vanguard."
Su Qing was stunned. Scout? What does that mean? How could Su Qing know that
Liu Jianqiang noticed that Su Qing didn't seem to understand, so he added, "I'll lead the way."
Su Qing had a good opinion of Liu Jianqiang, who was both conscious and the person who most firmly supported him, and he agreed to Liu Jianqiang's request without hesitation.
Hu Yi looked at the confused Su Qing, feeling both amused and helpless. This stupid woman, for her organization, for the independent regiment, seemed to be willing to sacrifice herself and the Ninth Squad. In the wooden-headed Liu Jianqiang's concept, a vanguard is someone who leads the way, which is very impressive. He had no idea that being a vanguard is not only about leading the way, but also about keeping an eye on all directions, choosing routes, keeping a safe distance, identifying dangerous areas, having a sense of crisis, and being able to respond to emergencies. Generally, there are only two types of people who can become vanguards. One is a smart guy or a veteran who is deeply trusted by the commander, and the other is a cannon fodder who deserves to die!
Hu Yi had taught Ma Liang these details carefully. Ma Liang was a man of good understanding, quick reaction and long legs, a natural talent for this job. Therefore, the work of scouts and sentinels was basically done alternately by Hu Yi and Ma Liang. Unless it was confirmed that there was a minefield ahead or a rare situation with many crises, Hu Yi would consider letting a "talent" like Runny Nose become a scout and wade ahead.
The team set out again. Liu Jianqiang became the vanguard as he wished. He imitated Ma Liang and ran far ahead to lead the team. Hu Yi was the last one to set out and followed at the end of the team.
Agreeing with Su Qing to command the Ninth Squad, Hu Yi had his own ideas. In the current situation, it doesn't matter which direction to go, or whether to fight the plainclothes team behind him, as long as the key to the problem is found, it can be solved. What is the key to the current dilemma? It's the dog! So Hu Yi plans to find a suitable place to stop and solve the dog behind, and all problems will be solved. This task is not complicated, and it is enough for one person to do it, so Su Qing is willing to command the Ninth Squad to move around, so let this stupid woman lead it first, it's no big deal.
Ma Liang, who led the way, liked to walk as high as possible, so that he could maximize his vision and react easily. If there was danger on the left, he could immediately flip to the right, and if there was a problem on the right, he would immediately flip to the left, which was also convenient for escape. Liu Jianqiang's leading was another matter. He just walked in the easy-to-walk places, wherever it was convenient to walk, wherever it was sheltered from the wind. As a result, he walked lower and lower, and finally he ended up going through a ravine, leading the team to the bottom of the valley, which was comfortable and smooth.
The group of people walked to the bottom of a flat canyon. When they were about to turn the corner, Hu Yi, who was the last one, stopped and looked around. This place was 20 to 30 meters wide and flat. Although the mountains on both sides were not steep, the slopes were also very steep. It was not easy to climb up, so it was a good place to beat the dog.
No one noticed that Hu Yi, who was far at the end of the team, stopped. Ma Liang was in the second to last position. When he turned the corner, he noticed that Hu Yi stopped, but he didn't care, because that was Hu Yi, and Hu Yi was not someone who needed care. Ma Liang just thought that Hu Yi might have to go to the bathroom, so he followed the team without stopping and disappeared around the corner.
Having made up his mind, Hu Yi hid behind the slope at the corner of the valley and began to build a simple shelter as a camouflage.
Ten minutes later, Su Qing was stopped by Ma Liang who caught up with him. "Secretary Su, stop for a moment. The squad leader hasn't caught up yet."
Su Qing looked back at the empty road and felt angry: "Where is he? What is he doing?"
"Just now when he turned the corner, the monitor might have gone to the bathroom, but I didn't notice. Let's wait."
Going to the bathroom? He disappeared without even saying hello. Is this deserter going back to his old ways? Now the plainclothes team is chasing him, and he still has the guts to go to the bathroom? If he really ran away, with his ability to escape, it would be impossible to find him now.
Su Qing frowned and remained silent. She didn't care about Hu Yi's life or death. She was wondering if Hu Yi might be captured by the enemy, and if he was captured, would he betray the independent regiment and defect to the enemy. Finally, Su Qing gave herself a reason not to think about this issue anymore: judging from the experience on the way back from Jiangnan, the plainclothes team did not have the ability to capture Hu Yi. So she said casually: "Who cares if he lives or dies, it's best to let him be eaten by dogs! Keep moving forward!"
Ma Liang was stunned by these words. He didn't know the problem between Hu Yi and Su Qing. He just thought that Secretary Su was too inhumane. How did our squad leader offend you? Why did he say such harsh words? He wanted to stop and wait, but seeing Su Qing staring at him with a dark face, he sighed in his heart and thought to himself, squad leader, you'd better finish your shit quickly. He picked up two inconspicuous stones and placed them at his feet according to the method taught by Hu Yi, and then continued to set off.
