Wang Xuexin didn't know if he had convinced Lao Hei, but he didn't have any hope that he could convince Lao Hei in one go.
There is a saying that "it takes less than a day to freeze three feet of ice."
This old black man has been locked up in the mine for several years, how can he just say it once or twice?
But when Wang Xuexin stood up, Lao Hei called out: "Comrade, that cigarette of yours...can I try it?"
"It must be possible!" Wang Xuexin said, and he immediately took out the whole box of cigarettes and handed them over.
Lao Hei was stunned again, and then he stretched out his hand tremblingly and carefully followed it. After a long time, he sighed and said: "In the mines, the traitors smoked like this. If anyone really can't do the job, just give it to him."
Hand out one of these cigarettes, and when you finish smoking..."
Before he finished speaking, Lao Hei was already in tears.
Wang Xuexin was stunned and said quickly: "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang, I didn't know about this...I'll go get you a new pack right now!"
Lao Hei wiped his tears and shook his head: "It's okay, I want this cigarette! What the traitors gave is different from what my comrades gave me. When I think that this cigarette was collected from the Japanese, I feel comfortable.
There’s still the blood of the Japanese on it!”
Wang Xuexin took a quick look and saw that indeed, the back of the cigarette box was stained red with blood, but Wang Xuexin didn't even notice.
Then Lao Hei said: "I'm thinking, the tunnels we dug are different from the Japs' mines. The Japs' mines cost our lives, and our tunnels...that means the Japs' lives!"
"Yes, yes, that's what it means!" Wang Xuexin gave a thumbs up: "Uncle Zhang, your summary is much better than mine. I didn't even expect it!"
This surprised Wang Xuexin. He originally thought that he would have to invite an instructor to do Lao Hei's ideological work, but he didn't expect that he figured it out on his own.
"Comrade, don't worry!" Lao Hei said: "I really don't know how to do other jobs, but I am good at digging tunnels. I will definitely do it for you!"
"Thank you, thank you Uncle Zhang!"
"Don't say thank you!" Lao Hei replied: "I did it to fight the Japanese, not to dig for you!"
Then Lao Hei stared at the cigarette, knocked the cigarette stem against the foot of the stool, knocked off the cigarette ashes, pinned it to his waistband, slowly opened the cigarette case, raised his head and asked Wang Xuexin: "Come on."
root?"
"Here's one!" Wang Xuexin took one and put it in his mouth, then lit it with a match struck by Lao Hei.
Lao Hei was very careful when ordering it for himself. After finishing it, he took a deep breath, exhaled a long smoke, and said with emotion: "It turns out that this smells like this, I can live to take a puff!"
For some reason, Wang Xuexin's nose felt sore after hearing these words, and he almost shed tears.
The security company to cooperate with the tunnel warfare was quickly arranged.
To be precise, it was not an "arrangement", but something Chen Fujun fought for.
Chen Fujun had long known that Xiao Dongbei had come to the headquarters, and even knew that Xiao Dongbei had borrowed the tunnel from the headquarters.
The first company led by Chen Fujun is the main force of the guard battalion. It protects the headquarters all year round. The first one who is closest to the water and the tower gets the better. If there is any trouble, he, as the company commander, will know it immediately.
But it was precisely knowing this that made Chen Fujun worried.
He was still hoping to get Xiao Dongbei to come over and say a few words, but they were constructing tunnels and strengthening them in the arsenal, so how could they have time to take care of his security company?
If you force him to come here and let the chief know about it, he will definitely scold him with a straight face: "Nonsense! Xiao Dongbei is busy with other things, why don't you think he doesn't have enough family affairs? Xiao Dongbei needs to do such small things as security work."
Come on! If you, Chen Fujun, don’t have the skills, just go away and don’t cause trouble here!”
This is my business!
Protecting the safety of the chief and the headquarters, plus an arsenal, is that not a serious matter?
Originally, Chen Fujun didn't have any worries about this. Who in the Eighth Route Army didn't know that Chen Fujun had his nose in the air and didn't take people seriously? Otherwise, could the commander let him be the company commander?
But last time, the Japanese really beat Chen Fujun out of temper after such a sneak attack.
That battle was fought...the guard company was almost made up of dough in front of that team of Japanese soldiers. Although Chen Fujun didn't want to admit it, Chen Fujun had to admit it when the battle was fought like this.
But Wang Xuexin was able to pick a few of them one by one, and even commanded a squad to stage a beautiful ambush. But this squad was Chen Fujun's soldiers... Do you think it's irritating or not?
If this was an ordinary combat unit, Chen Fujun would have turned a blind eye.
That's not enough, but it's still better than the bottom. It's normal to fight with the Japanese elite, and in the worst case, the head will be removed.
But the security company he led was to protect the safety of the leader and even the entire headquarters. If something went wrong, Chen Fujun's ten heads would not be enough to pay for it.
Thinking of this, Chen Fujun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking around the company headquarters.
No, we have to find a time to call Xiao Dongbei over. The idea he mentioned last time of blocking the village with bullet mines is a good one. The security company has been doing this all this time.
But what excuse is there for this?
At this time, Qiangzi shouted a report at the door.
Chen Fujun responded impatiently, "Come in," and then yelled at Qiangzi who hurried in: "Didn't you keep saying that you have a friendship with Xiao Dongbei? You have blown the lie, but you gave me the person.
Please come!"
"Company Commander!" Qiangzi replied: "Opportunity, the opportunity has come..."
Chen Fujun's eyes lit up and he asked, "Is Xiaobei Dong free?"
"No, Xiao Dongbei is busy..."
"What a chance!" Chen Fujun interrupted Qiangzi angrily.
Qiangzi smiled "hehe" and said: "Company commander, I was just on duty with the commander, and I heard from the commander that the entire tunnel in Xiaodongbei requires a company of troops to cooperate. You see..."
"Is this true?" Chen Fujun, who was walking back and forth, stopped and looked at Qiangzi.
"Of course it's true!" Qiangzi puffed up his chest: "How dare I tell you, company commander..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Fujun had already rushed out of the door, cursing as he ran: "Damn it, why don't you respond first? If other companies get the upper hand, I won't be done with you!"
Qiangzi looked confused at the company headquarters. How could I, a squad leader, accept this job for the company commander?
Chen Fujun ran to the chief out of breath, and immediately stood up and reported: "Chief... Chief, let us connect!"
"What are you doing?" The chief sounded a little strange: "I haven't had any tasks recently!"
Chen Fujun accompanied Xiao Xin and said: "Chief, the tunnel construction side... doesn't it require the cooperation of the troops? Look, can we even make it? Don't worry, I promise to complete the task!"
Only then did the chief understand what Chen Fujun was talking about, and he laughed: "I think you are not going to the tunnel, but to this small northeastern part of the country. You are as anxious as a cart to fetch water! I tell you.
, you can’t cause trouble to Xiao Dongbei, do you understand?”
"Understood!" Chen Fujun stood up and responded excitedly.
