Click—the case jumped up lightly, revealing the rhythmic dial through the crystal clearness, and faintly reflecting the narrow eyes.
Hu Yi fiddled with the pocket watch in his hand and listened quietly to the idiots in Class 9 recounting the battle.
“… I saw the Japanese were not far away, and I was worried about the girl’s safety, so I fired a burst of bullets at them and pinned them all down the mountain.”
As soon as Luo Fugui finished speaking, Ma Liang spoke up: "Mule, how far is this 'not far'? It's obviously only about 400 meters away, but you, a coward, fired your gun and exposed your target long ago. Not only did you not hit anyone, but you also lost the chance to kill people in the first wave of sneak attacks. How dare you say that?"
Luo Fugui said with a straight face, "There are so many little devils. If they get close, can we defeat them? I am thinking about everyone, do you understand? Besides, haven't those in the west been beaten by me all the time?"
Seeing Luo Fugui's shameless words, Ma Liang was both angry and amused: "You can make a lot of lies, Runny Nose and I heard it all, except for the shameless first shot, the rest were all hit by the maid." At this point, Ma Liang looked at Xiao Hongying and asked: "Girl, do you think it was you or not?"
The little girl sat on the bed, swinging her legs, looking up at the ceiling, thinking that even though the fox allowed her to use a gun later, she still had to be low-key, so she replied calmly: "What the mule said is right."
“What? You, you guys…” Ma Liang was a little dumbfounded.
At this time, Hu Yi spoke up: "I know the situation in the west. How did you fight with Runny Nose?"
"Brother, I was just about to tell you about this." Ma Liang turned his head back when he heard Hu Yi's question: "At that time, the Japanese wanted to climb the mountain from the south. Obviously, the low hill on the east side was the most suitable for blocking the Japanese. He was snotty but refused to listen to advice. He was stubborn and insisted on blocking the Japanese on the top of the mountain. With my single shot, I only killed one and held back two. If he had come down with me, those Japanese would have been held back for sure."
"Ma Liang, stop pretending to be smart!" Liu Jianqiang also spoke up when the conversation came to him: "A battle is a battle, there is no room for showmanship, and holding the position is our duty! Besides, you only killed one person, and I killed three. What qualifications do you have to criticize me?"
Ma Liang slammed the table and said, "I said you were a runny nose, you said you were a blockhead, but you didn't believe me. You're just talking without any pain in your waist! You were lucky to be able to hold on. If I hadn't been holding you back on the mountainside, you would have had more than three people in front of you!"
"That's enough!" Hu Yi poured a basin of water at the right time to put out the tense atmosphere. "Now tell me, what do you think of this battle? Mule, you go first."
When Luo Fugui heard Hu Yi pointed at him, he raised his big hand and scratched his head: "Ah, this, I think, this time I, Luo Fugui, fought really well! One machine gun blocked millions of soldiers. Uh, yes, the girl was by my side, influenced by me, and fought well too. As for Ma Liang and Runny Nose, they are too troublesome. One moment they are clamoring to elect a squad leader, and the next moment they are clamoring to retreat to Dabei Village. They are just two troublemakers. Oh, of course, if we want to talk about the first merit, it is still you, Boss Hu! Hehe."
Ma Liang and Liu Jianqiang stared at Luo Fugui, wishing they could burn this shameless man to death with their eyes.
Liu Jianqiang stood up with a dark face: "I think the biggest problem in this battle is the work style! The work style of Class 9 is problematic. They openly took bribes in democratic elections. There is no organization or discipline on the battlefield. Some people are afraid of death. These bad practices must be dealt with!"
Hu Yi listened to Liu Jianqiang's exaggeration, but his expression did not change. He continued to ask, "Ma Liang, what do you think?"
Ma Liang's answer was simple: "Brother, when you were away, Class 9 was in disarray. I think you should appoint a deputy monitor."
When the democratic meeting was held on the mountain, Ma Liang wanted to be the class monitor, but was disrupted by the little girl. Now, Ma Liang brought up this topic again. On the one hand, it was indeed a fundamental issue; on the other hand, Ma Liang needed Hu Yi to give him an imperial sword so that when the same situation occurred again in the future, he would be able to bring Class Nine together with good reason.
Hu Yi nodded: "Yes, you hit the nail on the head." He closed the pocket watch in his hand with a click, looked up at the few people who had quieted down, "This battle depends on luck. If the Japanese had only one grenade launcher, I would have to burn paper for you guys by this time next year! Ma Liang is right, we should have a deputy squad leader. All along, our squad nine has been just muddling through, but from today on, we have to prepare to do our duty as a soldier, so let's first talk about the issue of the deputy squad leader."
Luo Fugui knew that no matter whether it was a democratic election or any other method, he was just a spectator, so he said casually: "Boss Hu, let's stop wasting time. I'm tired of hearing you talk about democracy all day long. Just say something directly."
The only person who was unwilling to accept the position was naturally Liu Jianqiang, not because he wanted to be the deputy class leader, but because he had been secretly competing with Ma Liang without realizing it, and he always wanted to compete with him in everything. Now Hu Yi was going to decide on the candidate for the deputy class leader, and it was undoubtedly Ma Liang. Even if democratic voting was adopted, Liu Jianqiang felt that his chances were still slim. There were only a few people in Class 9, and he had no chance when the election was held on the mountain, not to mention that the class leader Hu Yi still had one vote.
However, Liu Jianqiang had a stubborn heart. He knew he had no chance, but he still wanted to fight for it. So he stood up and said, "Squad leader, I want to speak!"
"explain."
"In the past, I was a soldier in the Ninth Company, but the Ninth Company is gone, and I am the only one left; I couldn't bear to leave the Ninth Company, so I made a fuss, and then there was the Ninth Class. I know you all look down on me, and I look down on you too, but the Ninth Class is mine, and no matter what time it is, I, Liu Jianqiang, can't bear to harm the Ninth Class, because the Ninth Class is the shadow of the Ninth Company and the hope of the Ninth Company. Now you have to appoint a deputy monitor, whether it is through election or you appoint, I have no objection. I just want to say that I want to be the deputy monitor of the Ninth Class. I'm done."
Liu Jianqiang's biggest shortcoming is actually also his biggest advantage, which is that he is straightforward and doesn't beat around the bush. It was precisely because of this that Hu Yi had to beat him up and bring him back to Class Nine.
Only after Liu Jianqiang finished speaking and sat down again did Hu Yi stop looking at Liu Jianqiang, lowered his head again, and gently turned over the exquisite pocket watch in his hand. After a moment of silence, he raised his head again and glanced at everyone: "Now that I have said everything that needs to be said, there will be no more nonsense. Now I declare that Luo Fugui will be the deputy monitor of Class 9!"
Plop—someone fell down on the spot, and the house fell into silence.
Little Hongying blinked her big eyes, looking at Hu Yi's serious face, thinking, it seems the fox is not joking. Then she looked at Ma Liang who was dumbfounded, and finally couldn't help but cover her cute mouth with her hands.
Chuck…
Liu Jianqiang was stunned for a long time before he remembered who Luo Fugui was. He turned his head mechanically and looked at the selfish bear lying on the ground. Although this was not the expected result, was it better than expected? Or worse? Liu Jianqiang was confused again.
Ma Liang's mind was blank, and he stared blankly at the squad leader Hu Yi. He had no other thoughts, but he just didn't believe that all this was true. It was definitely not true!
As for Wu Shitou, of course, he is still Wu Shitou...
Hu Yi had been calm and expressionless until now: "From now on, whenever I'm not around or I die, Luo Fugui will be in full command of Class Nine. Anyone who wants to object, stand up now and let me see!" When saying the last sentence, Hu Yi deliberately emphasized his tone and began to show a hint of coldness.
Some people wanted to ask questions, but the chill suppressed their thoughts and the room became quiet again.
Click—the watch case jumped up briskly. Hu Yi lowered his head and watched quietly. Unconsciously, he seemed to see Wang Lao’s ugly face… Brother Wang, although you were my platoon leader for only one day, you saved my life. Meeting you is a blessing for me, Hu Yi…
