Early in the morning, Ma Liang appeared outside the window of the confinement room, woke up Hu Yi, and told him the message brought by Kuai Tui'er.
"Brother, you really can't spoil that girl anymore. She's always doing what she wants. The more she makes trouble, the more trouble she's causing. Now the second company has started to act like a rogue. The little girl and that fast-legged guy have been arguing at home until now. What should we do?"
Hu Yi bent over the washbasin, quickly swiped his hands and shook off the soap foam, then grabbed a towel and wiped his face while asking, "Did he say what the Second Company was going to do?"
"I told you they want to take over the turret."
Hu Yi wiped the water stains carefully, hung up the towel, put on his coat, buttoned it up and paced to the window: "It seems that Gao Yidao is here to borrow firepower. It's not a big deal."
"Brother, you don't agree to go, do you? But you are still in solitary confinement, how can you go? Leaving the solitary confinement room without permission is a serious crime."
Since he had a feud with the Second Company, Hu Yi looked down on Gao Yidao, but when it came to fighting, this guy was good at it. He sent someone to call the Ninth Squad after such a long journey, which meant that he had something in mind. In addition, from this point of view, helping the Second Company was also helping the Ninth Squad, so Hu Yi did not intend to refuse.
However, he was still in confinement, and he couldn't leave without permission unless it was absolutely necessary. Now Hu Yi finally understood why the confinement room didn't even bother to install a window? It was obvious that they wanted you to be "self-disciplined" and to grow "awareness". This would be more effective than closing the doors and windows. Looking at the entire independent regiment, so far, there was only one person who had the courage to climb out of this window, and that was the wicked girl. As for Hu Yi himself, it wasn't that he didn't have the courage, but that he couldn't afford to cause this trouble.
"Do you have any way to get me out of here?" Hu Yi couldn't think of a solution himself, so he just asked Ma Liang directly.
"How can I do this? Even if I go to the regiment commander and political commissar to plead for mercy, I don't have that much face, right?"
"Then don't just stand there, and think of a solution for me. If you really can't think of one, I'll just crawl out." With Ma Liang's cleverness, Hu Yi didn't believe that he couldn't find a solution, so he directly used the method of provoking him.
"Ah? My dear brother, can you..." Ma Liang wanted to complain, but found that Hu Yi acted as if nothing had happened. He turned back to the broken bed and closed his eyes to rest. He could only sigh helplessly, leave the window and walk back.
Before he had walked far, he ran into Xiao Bing who had come to take over his shift.
"Hey, Ma Liang, you're here to see your squad leader so early?" Ma Liang used to be a communications officer in the regiment headquarters and was already familiar with Xiao Bing, so when Xiao Bing met him, he greeted him with a smile.
Ma Liang was upset at the moment and didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Bing. He nodded and walked over. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped. Xiao Bing was the guard of the confinement room. If there was any way to leave the confinement room, he should be the most qualified to give advice, right
"Xiao Bing, wait a minute!"
"Um?"
Ma Liang turned around and walked back to Xiao Bing: "Let me ask you, is there any way to get our squad leader out of the confinement room?"
This question touched Xiao Bing's heart. He wished Hu Yi could go out quickly so that he could finish his boring guard duty and come in earlier next time. So he said without hesitation: "That's easy. There's no window at the back. Just climb out directly!"
"Do I need you to teach me this method? Stop talking nonsense. What I mean is to come out openly." Ma Liang said impatiently.
Xiao Bing chuckled, then fixed his eyes on Ma Liang's bulging bullet box: "I have a solution, but..."
Ma Liang understood everything immediately after seeing Xiao Bing's behavior: "Xiao Bing, that bullet on your shoulder is a Hanyang-made bullet. I have a 6.5mm bullet, which is useless even if you give it to me!"
Xiao Bing didn't care about that. Ever since Ma Liang joined Class 9, he has become very rich. If he didn't take the opportunity to stop him, he would be doing himself a disservice. "Then don't worry about it. I'll find someone to replace him later."
Ma Liang's head was full of black lines, but he was no longer vague. He immediately took out a bullet and put it in Xiao Bing's hand.
Xiao Bing happily held the bullet in his hand, looked around, and then whispered, "If you want to get out of the confinement room early, there are only two situations: one, when an emergency occurs; two, when the people need help. That's all I can say, you decide for yourself."
After hearing what Xiao Bing said, Ma Liang no longer paid attention to whether he had left to change shifts. He lowered his head and began to think. Emergency? This one is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and cannot be relied upon. Common people need help? This one is possible, but which common people can count on the help of the Ninth Class? After thinking hard for a long time, there is only one common people who have an intersection with the Ninth Class, the landlord, Widow Sun.
Widow Sun went back to her parents' home, which was in Xinghua Village, 30 miles west of Dabei Village. It was impossible to go to her to collude with her, so they had to make up a story. After a while, a reason was formed: the house of the landlord, Widow Sun's parents' house, collapsed, and someone sent a message to ask the 9th squad to help. Now, even the reason for the 9th squad to set out was lost.
When the morning glow once again covered the mountains, there were seven more people in the valley where the Second Company had been stationed for a day and two nights, including Fast Legs and Squad 9.
Everyone looked at each other coldly with their noses and eyes turned upside down. No one spoke, and no one felt awkward.
Xiao Hongying was the first to jump out: "Gao Yidao, you are a company commander, what did we say at the beginning? Have you forgotten the oath?"
Gao Yidao curled his lips and said, "You stupid girl, what are you yelling about? I swear I won't leak this matter. I didn't say I can't drag you into this."
"You are shameless, you are just making up excuses..." The little girl's braids stood up straight.
Gao Yidao snorted: "You got it the other way around, right? You are the ones who are shameless!"
Hu Yi shook his head helplessly. He was already here. If he continued to listen to these two guys talking about useless things, his food would be cold. So he spoke at the right time and said to Gao Yidao in a neutral tone: "Let's talk about business!"
When the little girl heard Hu Yi speak, she swallowed back the words she was about to retort and remained silent.
When Gao Yidao heard Hu Yi speak directly, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with Xiao Hongying anymore and looked directly at Hu Yi: "It's simple, take the artillery tower."
"What is the purpose of calling us here?"
"You guys be the fire team, suppress it."
"Who's in charge?"
"I!"
"I don't accept it!"
"I'm the company commander. Why don't you, a shitty squad leader, accept it?"
"Even if I'm a shitty squad leader, I'm directly under the regiment headquarters. It has nothing to do with me even if you're the battalion commander."
"You—" Gao Yidao was almost about to explode again because of Hu Yi's choking, but then he changed his mind and thought that they were already at loggerheads and hated each other. It was impossible to suppress him, and the most important thing was to quickly complete this shitty deal. So he paused and asked again in a bad mood: "What do you mean?"
"Squad 9 will participate in the battle as friendly forces!" Hu Yi's meaning was very clear. We should be friendly forces rather than subordinates. You take care of your Second Company and I take care of my Squad 9. You make the plan and we will cooperate and assist. You have to discuss the tactical details with me instead of giving orders.
Haha, Gao Yidao laughed contemptuously: "Friendly troops? I think you, a cowardly loser, are trying to leave yourself an excuse to escape? Why should I trust you?"
Haha, Hu Yi also smiled: "Do you and I need trust?"
Yes, two people who are destined not to pee in the same pot, talk about trust? Nonsense! Gao Yidao also decided not to waste time on this: "Okay! You are a friendly force! You are a friendly force! Now go and see the battlefield first, and then we will talk about the details." After saying that, he turned around and strode towards the top of the mountain.
Now that the issue of command authority had been established, Hu Yi was no longer vague and followed Gao Yidao to the top of the mountain to survey the battlefield, leaving the Second Company and the Ninth Squad where they were, continuing to look down on each other.
