Facts have proved that the target of the Japanese is indeed Wang Xuexin.
That night Wang Xuexin ate a pancake and drank some water, then leaned against a tree trunk and slept for a while.
Perhaps because he was too tired, Wang Xuexin felt that he was awakened by the sound of horns in the distance just as he closed his eyes.
The voice came from another hilltop. It was in pure Chinese. It should be a traitor led by the Japanese.
Wang Xuexin originally thought he was persuading the Independent Regiment to surrender... The Japanese often did this on the battlefield. They would often offer huge sums of money, glory, wealth, promotion and fortune to tempt the Eighth Route Army to surrender. Sometimes some people actually fell for it.
Wang Xuexin didn't even know what these people were thinking.
In times of war, what kind of officials or wealth are of little use?
Officials are officials under the devils, and wealth is under the noses of the devils.
The Japanese will kill you whenever they want, and slap you with a big slap in the face if they make him unhappy... Then aren't all the officials and wealthy people just like the moon in the mirror?
Wang Xuexin hugged the cotton-padded jacket on his body and turned sideways to continue sleeping.
Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Seventh Company were happy, and they shouted to Wang Xuexin one by one:
"Company Commander, you are famous!"
"The Japanese actually know about our company commander?"
"What's all the fuss about? The Japanese offered a bounty of 100,000 yuan to our company commander, twice as much as the regimental commander!"
…
Wang Xuexin felt a little strange. He sat up straight and listened carefully. The words on his mother's loudspeaker were actually shouted at him:
"Xiao Dongbei, the Imperial Army respects you as a human being. Come out and surrender. The Imperial Army will guarantee your safety!"
"Following the Eighth Route Army, I am just a company commander, fighting for my life and still being hungry and wearing rags. Why bother?"
"The Imperial Army has said that as long as you are willing to surrender, you will be given the command of the regiment immediately and will be in charge of more than 3,000 people! You will get whatever you want, if you want something popular or spicy!"
…
The soldiers laughed when they heard the "coax" sound.
Xie Baoqing came to Wang Xuexin and joked: "Company Commander, the conditions are good? Think about it!"
"Go, go!" Wang Xuexin kicked him away: "How about I recommend you go?"
"I do!" Xie Baoqing replied: "But I'm afraid that if people don't want me, then not only will I not be given to the group leader, but I will also be rewarded with two peanuts... That would be a big loss!"
The soldiers all laughed when they heard this.
Instructor Liu Yinian hurriedly came up and lectured: "Hey, stop joking, don't talk nonsense about this!"
The soldiers quickly shut up.
Other troops are quite serious about this, but Xie Baoqing, who came from Heiyun Village, would make fun of it.
Wang Xuexin thought it was harmless.
But if you think about it more carefully, it seems right. What if you talk too much and some comrades who are not determined will waver?
After all, the conditions of the Eighth Route Army were difficult, and it really took extraordinary willpower to persevere.
Moreover, Wang Xuexin still knew that the Eighth Route Army would eventually win. At this time, a large number of Chinese people still believed that "saving the country through curves" was right and believed that China could not compete with the Japanese.
It is really not easy for the Eighth Route Army to persist in the war of resistance without wavering under such backward, difficult and extremely oppressive adversity.
At this time, the correspondent came up again in the dark: "Company Commander Wang, the political commissar is calling you!"
No need to think about it, Wang Xuexin knew what it was for, it was still the previous order.
Sure enough, when Wang Xuexin found Zhao Gang, Zhao Gang persuaded him with sincerity: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, we were not sure before that the Japs were targeting you, but now we are sure. We estimate that for talents like you, the Japs will first surrender.
If the surrender is unsuccessful, we will not let you escape. Considering this, we think it is necessary for you to break out first!"
Wang Xuexin glanced in the direction of Li Yunlong. Li Yunlong was sitting beside him and was silent. It was obvious that Zhao Gang had done his ideological work before.
Wang Xuexin's guess was correct. Zhao Gang had already had a quarrel with Li Yunlong before calling Wang Xuexin.
"Do you know how big of a mistake this is?" Although Zhao Gang was angry, he could only lower his voice and said: "Think about what Xiaodongbei has invented, 50 small artillery, land mines, jumping mines, directional mines... these are all
Even if it is small, there are also rocket launchers and rocket launchers...which of them can not inflict heavy casualties on the Japanese? If he falls into the hands of the Japanese, or has something wrong with him, do you know how much damage it will cause to our army?"
"That's because he doesn't want to leave!" Li Yunlong glared without giving in: "You have the ability to get angry at him, why are you yelling at me? What's more, what they said is right, Xiao Dongbei was injured.
The smell of blood, what kind of man are you really going to let the Japanese wolves and dogs catch up with? Then it was you, Zhao Gang, who made the mistake, not me, Li Yunlong!"
This is irrefutable to Zhao Gang, because no one knows what will happen in the future.
Zhao Gang was so angry that he said "You..." and pointed his finger in the void for a long time without knowing what to say.
After a while, Zhao just came over and softened his tone: "Lao Li, we have agreed that we will listen to you about the war, and mine for other matters. This is not a war, right?"
When Zhao Gang said this, Li Yunlong fell silent, and then replied: "You can tell Xiao Dongbei yourself. As long as he agrees, I have no problem!"
So Zhao Gang found Wang Xuexin.
Seeing that Wang Xuexin was hesitant, Zhao Gang added another handful of firewood and said righteously:
"Comrade Wang Xuexin, I hope you won't be influenced by the regiment leader. When we think about problems, we must consider the overall situation!"
"This is not a matter of greed for life and fear of death, but a matter of preserving talents for the army and retaining the strength of the war of resistance. We should choose the greater righteousness and sacrifice the smaller righteousness."
"What is righteousness? It is to preserve one's usefulness and make more contributions to the army."
"What is Xiaoyi? It's what you are doing now, saying you can't leave your soldiers behind..."
"And don't worry! I promise to do a good job in their ideological work and ensure that they will not have any thoughts or emotions. Whenever you come back, you can be your company commander!"
…
Zhao Gang is worthy of being an ideological worker, and he talks in one way that people cannot refuse.
This made Wang Xuexin consider a question:
If you really want to leave, can you ask Zhu Ziming to protect you?
Zhao Gang is anxious to let him go, so he should agree to this condition, right?
In this way, Zhu Ziming will not be able to harm the independent group!
Then, on the way, you can find an opportunity to give Zhu Ziming... and it will be over!
Thinking about Wang Xuexin, I made up my mind.
But just when Wang Xuexin was about to say something, Zhu Ziming rushed out of the darkness panting and reported: "Regiment leader, political commissar, we caught a puppet soldier when we went to conduct reconnaissance, and asked for some information!"
"What information?" Li Yunlong asked.
"One of the Japanese troops outflanking us got lost!" Zhu Ziming said, "So, there is a gap in the northwest corner of the Japanese army's encirclement behind us!"
Zhao Gang and Li Yunlong couldn't help but be overjoyed. This was a good opportunity to break out!
