Chapter 59: Family Affection in Troubled Times
The Red Army and the Dian Army saw the red flare together, and they knew that Shao Fei had succeeded in his hand, so they ordered their troops to march to the target position, keeping an eye out for bandits along the way.
An hour later, the two teams arrived at the bandits' lair together. I saw the traces of fierce battles everywhere, and I was full of devastation.
The bodies of the bandits had long since been moved elsewhere by Shao Fei and them, leaving only a few captives.
"Brother Shao Fei, you played beautifully. We have a stronghold that a battalion can't take down, and you only use 12 people, admire, admire. Wang Fusheng praised Shao Fei as he walked, and then walked to Shao Fei and saluted.
After Shao Fei returned a military salute, he replied modestly: "It's a good cooperation from everyone." ”
Zhao Fei also walked over and patted Shao Fei's arm: "Good job." ”
Shao Fei smiled, looked around, and said, "Now there is a big problem, what do we do with their equipment, money, prisoners, and those women. ”
"It's all your Red Army." Zhang Fusheng said boldly.
"How can this be done, the biggest contribution is still your special combat team of the Dian Army, and I am just the commander." Shao Fei pretended to shirk and said.
"I'm too humble, brother. Otherwise, what else do you say? Zhang Fusheng asked.
Shao Fei glanced at Zhao Fei, Zhao Fei smiled and said to Zhang Fusheng: "That's the case, we want to make a deal with your Yunnan army, the heavy equipment here belongs to you, we will give you another 120 Type 79 rifles, I just want you to send us 2,000 oceans." As for the money here, we can't touch it, and when we find out the source, we will return it to the villagers. Battalion Commander Zhang, what do you think? ”
"2000 oceans!" Zhang Fusheng's eyes widened, and he said to Zhao Fei: "Isn't it too much." ”
Zhang Fusheng's expression was strange, as if he had been robbed. Looking at Shao Fei and them, they directly said the conditions without discussion, which seemed to be premeditated in advance. A few heavy machine guns were killed for 500 oceans, and those rifles were captured by the security regiment, to put it bluntly, they belonged to the Yunnan army.
Speaking of the rifles of those security regiments, Zhang Fusheng was angry in his heart. After Shao Fei exterminated the security group, his head was called to Kunming by Shangfeng to be investigated, but fortunately, in the end it was a warning and criticism.
Shao Fei saw that Zhang Fusheng was very embarrassed, so he went up to the one-handed building to assert Fusheng's shoulder, and said foolishly: "Battalion Chief Zhang, you earned this account." Not to mention whether the equipment is worth it or not, your Yunnan army has gained a reputation for exterminating the mountain bandits, and the credit for this time is all on your head. I'll be more generous, these captives are sent to you, I have obtained very important information, and your Commander Yang must be very interested. ”
"What information?" Zhang Fusheng asked.
"They were pretending to be the Red Army at the behest of men. It should be the Central Army, I just want to know the answer to their impersonation, nothing else. If you bring it back and torture it slowly, you will have unexpected gains. ”
Shao Fei's words shocked Zhang Fusheng. In order to slander the reputation of the Red Army, the Central Army dared to instruct mountain bandits to persecute the people of Yunnan, which made Zhang Fusheng very angry. If this is true, when the people above know about it, the whole of Yunnan will be shaken.
After thinking about it for three years, Zhang Fusheng replied: "2000 oceans is too much, I can't be the master, I have to ask the regiment headquarters to answer you tomorrow." ”
Shao Fei and Zhao Fei looked at each other and agreed.
Subsequently, Zhao Fei ordered a platoon to take the captives to count the sources of the property looted by the mountain bandits, and record them and return them to the villagers one by one tomorrow. Order the second platoon to collect equipment and supplies.
This battle was fought by Shao Fei and the special combat team of the Yunnan Army, and half of the credit was accounted for. Zhao Fei felt a bit of a robbery when he did this, but who called the Red Army poor. The poor are short-sighted, and Zhao Fei can't help it.
Taking 10,000 steps back, this special combat team was formed by Shao Fei himself, and thinking of this, Zhao Fei felt a little more comfortable.
After that, Shao Fei took Zhang Fusheng and Zhao Fei to visit the women who had been arrested. As soon as they entered the house, all the women saw the three of them kneeling together.
"Hurry up."
Shao Fei and the three of them hurriedly squatted down to help them up. After everyone stood up, Zhang Fusheng saluted and said to everyone: "We, the Dian Army, are sorry for everyone, but we are incompetent and cannot eliminate this group of mountain bandits pretending to be the Red Army. If you want to thank them, these real Red Army, it was this Shao Fei brother who brought these twelve soldiers of the Dian Army to save you. ”
In the dim light, these women turned their eyes to Shao Fei together. Seeing that he was camouflaged, he couldn't see his face clearly at all. But the sound of thanks kept ringing among them.
Shao Fei gestured and said: "This is what our Red Army should do, we are originally the ranks of the common people, we cannot tolerate their bad reputation of the Red Army, let alone their oppression of the people." Let's rest for the night and send you home tomorrow. ”
"We're not going back!"
"We don't have a home."
"yes, I can't go back."
“……”
The voices of reluctance to go home kept ringing among them. Shao Fei: They know the plight of these women. Although they didn't say it explicitly, Shao Fei knew that they didn't have the face to go back. Because their bodies have been violated by bandits, honor is more important than life for women.
"Rest well, everyone, I'll figure it out." Zhao Fei opened his mouth to reassure. It's getting late now, so I can only calm down first, and this matter can only be solved tomorrow.
The next day, so after everything was arranged. Zhang Fusheng and the special combat team escorted the prisoners back to their temporary station. And Zhao Fei and Shao Fei took these women who were unwilling to go home and marched towards Daping Village.
The troops came to the entrance of the village, and the villagers already knew the whole truth of the incident and were waiting for them at the entrance of the village.
Early in the morning, Zhang Fusheng sent someone over to tell the villagers what happened.
At the entrance to the village, the women, unwilling to see their families, retreated one by one, and some even hid behind the Red Army soldiers, each with their heads bowed.
"Grandma~" The little girl found her mother before, rushed over despite her father's pull, ran to her mother, and cried.
The child's mother was ashamed to see her daughter, covering her face and crying.
"Grandma, grandma, why don't you ignore Xiaohua, don't you want Xiaohua?" The little girl cried even harder.
Liu Ying walked over, picked up Xiaohua, wiped her tears, and comforted: "No, your grandma is just a little tired, she won't want Xiaohua." ”
The villagers have been watching the reunion of the mother and daughter, but their hearts are very complicated. Xiaohua's father didn't step forward either, so he just looked at this. He didn't know what attitude to use towards his wife.
At this time, Zhao Fei walked up to the villagers and said with this emotion: "Folks, listen to me. We are in troubled times, and we don't want to see this kind of encounter. But it has happened, and we can't change it, we can only face it strongly. It is precisely because we are in troubled times that we should cherish the rare family affection. A child cannot live without a mother, a husband cannot live without a wife, and an elderly person cannot live without a daughter. The pain, physical and mental torture they went through is unimaginable. We should care for them and tolerate them with family affection. Because we're all family. ”
Zhao Fei's heartfelt words touched these villagers, and Shao Fei had to admire the contagiousness of Zhao Fei's words. It's so affectionate and touching that even I feel a little homesick.
At this time, Xiaohua's father walked over, took the child's mother's hand, and said sincerely: "The child's aunt, let's go home." ”
Xiaohua's mother put down her hand, her eyes were already red from crying, she lowered her head, and pinched softly: "Hmm"
Xiaohua's father took Xiaohua from Liu Ying's hand, thanked her, and then took Xiaohua's mother back to the village.
After that, the rest of the village also stepped forward, comforted the women, and took them back to their homes. The matter was resolved satisfactorily.
