Chapter 54: Pretending to be stupid
"How did Political Commissar Liu tell that I was not the commander?" Huang Changsheng-for-tat, "Am I not worthy of leading troops?" Although Huang Changsheng had fought with the Red Army in the Kuomintang army before, he really had no contact with the Communists, so he had a grudge.
"I'm afraid this brother misunderstood what I meant, although you have the style of a general, but you can arrange the headquarters in such an orderly manner, this person must be rough and detailed, and there are outstanding points." Political Commissar Liu said.
When Liao Fan heard this, he stood up and said, "Oh? Please also ask Political Commissar Liu to tell me what is so special about the arrangement of this headquarters? ”
"I'm afraid the person I'm looking for is you, you are very different from what I imagined, I didn't expect to be so young." After seeing Liao Fan, Political Commissar Liu took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Liao Fan.
After Liao Fan shook hands with Political Commissar Liu, he said: "My name is Liao Fan, and my brothers raised me and asked me to take them to fight devils." ”
"Brother Liao is humble, it is not an exaggeration to command thousands of troops and horses according to your talents." Political Commissar Liu said.
"Don't you dare to be Brother Liao, General Zhu Yaohua used to be my division commander, and I was only a regiment commander under him." Liao Fan said.
"Master Zhu sacrificed his life for the country, and his blood was impassioned." Political Commissar Liu felt sorry when he heard that Zhu Yaohua had already spread the news of General Zhu's death in the Battle of Songhu throughout the country, "I don't know what Commander Liao plans now?" ”
Liao Fan smiled: "Hahaha, worthy of being the division political commissar of the Eighth Route Army, he wants to get to the bottom of us so soon, it doesn't hurt to tell you, my brothers and I just want to fight devils wholeheartedly." ”
"As long as we are sincere in fighting devils, our Eighth Route Army will absolutely support them sincerely." Political Commissar Liu knew that the person in front of him didn't look very old, but he was definitely very hidden, making it impossible to understand his thoughts.
"Since Political Commissar Liu has come to our camp, it's not just to be so polite to me." Liao Fan knew that Political Commissar Liu must have come with an order, otherwise the Eighth Route Army would not have come to the door so quickly.
"Captain Liao is really sharp-eyed, I did come with a mission, but Captain Liao won't let us stand here and talk." Political Commissar Liu said.
Liao Fan smiled awkwardly and realized that he didn't find a place for Political Commissar Liu and them to sit now: "I'm sorry Political Commissar Liu, we people are usually used to this, and it is rude for a while, you must be tired when you come from afar, Changsheng took the brothers of the Eighth Route Army to find a camp to rest well, let the cooking class stew, and entertain the brothers of the Eighth Route Army." ”
Huang Changsheng heard Liao Fan's order and was about to take a platoon of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army to find a place to rest, but the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army looked at Political Commissar Liu, and he did not move because they did not receive an order.
"Since Commander Liao has good intentions, we might as well obey our orders if we are respectful, and Platoon Leader Ding will take the brothers to have a good rest." Political Commissar Liu said.
After hearing Political Commissar Liu's order, the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army said: "Chief, we have been ordered to protect your safety, and now we cannot leave our posts without permission. ”
"I'm in Commander Liao's headquarters, I believe that Commander Liao will definitely protect my safety, so let's take the troops down to rest." Political Commissar Liu said.
Platoon Commander Ding hesitated for a moment, but left with his troops, but when he left, he ordered two soldiers to stay.
"It seems that the brothers of the Eighth Route Army are really conscientious," Liao Fan took a step back sideways and said, "Political Commissar Liu, please take a seat." ”
After Political Commissar Liu sat down, Liao Fan continued: "Now let's talk about the purpose of your visit. ”
"There are two things this time, don't you guess Captain Liao?" Political Commissar Liu also wanted to test whether the young man in front of him really had such great ability.
"Haha," Liao Fan said with a smile, "Political Commissar Liu is trying to test me." Then I'll guess randomly, and if there is anything wrong, I hope that Political Commissar Liu will correct it. ”
Political Commissar Liu made a gesture of please, and asked Liao Fan to continue.
"Political Commissar Liu wants to come to contact us, but it's definitely not now, it's your superiors who gave you an order this time, since it's an order from your superiors, Political Commissar Liu must finish it as soon as possible, so this time Political Commissar Liu didn't take the initiative to come, but came passively."
"Now that Political Commissar Liu is here, I plan to get things done all at once, and if it's a small matter, I don't need a Buddha as big as you to come to our small temple." Liao Fan looked at Political Commissar Liu and analyzed.
"But you still haven't told me why I'm here." Political Commissar Liu was already shocked that Liao Fan was able to say these things.
"Political Commissar Liu, don't worry, as for the first purpose of your visit, it should be to thank our army for helping you in Taihang, your army's reputation for gratitude, is like thunder." Liao Fan said.
"Thank you really for your help, otherwise more than 100 people from our Eighth Route Army might have been buried in the mountains inexplicably." Political Commissar Liu took advantage of Liao Fan's first thing to say it, and hurriedly thanked Liao Fan.
"Political Commissar Liu also said just now, we are all a team of devils, and it is appropriate to help, so you don't need to thank me for this." Liao Fan wanted to continue to talk about the second thing, "As for the second thing, since it was arranged by your superiors, of course the matter will not be too simple, I also said just now, your army will repay the kindness, since you are here to thank you, of course you have to bring gifts." ”
"Oh, it seems that Captain Liao's ability to fight devils is really not a false name of Lang." Political Commissar Liu said.
"Political Commissar Liu's fear of sycophants is not your strong point." Liao Fan said to Political Commissar Liu with a smile.
"Haha, Captain Liao is humble." Political Commissar Liu knew that Liao Fan was joking, "Is Regiment Leader Liao interested in guessing what gift I brought?" ”
"Haha, I'm afraid that Political Commissar Liu will be disappointed this time, I really haven't paid attention to the more than 10,000 little devils in Yangquan." Liao Fan directly stated the true purpose of Political Commissar Liu's visit this time.
Political Commissar Liu was very surprised, the young man in front of him really shouldn't have the wisdom that he should have at his age, and he could know the exact purpose of his coming, but Political Commissar Liu still behaved very calmly.
"Are you so sure I didn't take the pilot with me this time?" Political Commissar Liu was also puzzled from beginning to end, Liao Fan didn't seem to mention the matter of Soviet pilots.
"Pilots? What pilots? Liao Fan pretended to be stupid, this is his strong point, "Could it be that Political Commissar Liu came to us for another purpose?" ”
Political Commissar Liu frowned, about the Soviet pilot being saved by Liao Fan's troops, it was just their speculation, there was no actual evidence that the pilot was here with Liao Fan, and Political Commissar Liu realized that the question he asked was a bit abrupt.
"Commander Liao, I am indeed here on the order of our chief, we received an intelligence little devil to call a brigade and a division of puppet troops, less than 30,000 people, to surround you, our chief telegraphed us that if your department has any trouble, just ask, as long as our Eighth Route Army can help, we will definitely help." Political Commissar Liu knew that he shouldn't have asked the pilot just now, so he quickly changed the topic.
"Since Political Commissar Liu is so sincere, I, Liao Fan, don't hide it, to be honest, I'm not bragging about the little devil's manpower, I will kill as many as they come," Liao Fan said confidently, "But there is one thing that I really need your army's help." ”
"Captain Liao just spoke." Political Commissar Liu said.
