Wang Xinmin was awakened from his dream and opened his eyes. The room was dark, and he could only see a pair of eyes staring at him, and a dagger with a cold light.
The visitor said again: "No shouting, do you understand?"
Wang Xinmin nodded vigorously, indicating that he understood what the visitor meant.
The visitor lit the lamp, and Wang Xinmin saw that they were two Japanese, but they spoke fluent Chinese, and he could not tell their identities for a while. He didn't say anything and waited for someone to ask questions.
The visitors were none other than Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong. They couldn't figure out what was going on in the Japanese clinic. This young man came from a Japanese clinic, so they wanted to find out from him.
Seeing Wang Xinmin being so calm, Xu Dalong felt slightly surprised.
He said: "Whatever I ask you, you answer. I think there must be something in your room that can prove your identity, so you'd better not lie to us."
Wang Xinmin still said calmly: "You can ask."
Xu Dalong asked: "What's your name? What are you doing in the clinic?"
Wang Xinmin said: "My name is Wang Xinmin, and I am a surgeon."
Xu Dalong said: "Why do you work for the Japanese?"
Wang Xinmin sighed and said: "The Japanese occupy most of China, and the people have to live. What can I do?"
When Wang Xinmin spoke, he looked lonely, but he didn't mean to be afraid.
Xu Dalong became interested in him and decided to scare him again to see how he would react.
Xu Dalong said: "We are members of the Anti-Japanese Army, specializing in killing Japanese soldiers and traitors. If you treat Japanese soldiers and puppet soldiers, you are a traitor. I will kill you."
Wang Xinmin was still not afraid. He sighed again, then closed his eyes and waited for death.
Xu Dalong asked curiously: "Aren't you afraid of death?"
Wang Xinmin said: "It is better to die in your hands than to die in the hands of the Japanese."
Hearing this, Xu Dalong put away his dagger and said, "What do you think of the Japanese?"
Wang Xinmin said: "The Japanese invaded our China. They are all hateful. Except for my teacher, all other Japanese are guilty."
While Xu Dalong was talking to Wang Xinmin, Zheng Xirong was writhing in the room.
Zheng Xirong held a diary and said, "He didn't lie. His name is Wang Xinmin and he is a surgeon."
Xu Dalong took the diary, glanced at it, and handed it to Zheng Xirong.
He said to Wang Xinmin: "We are fighting the Japanese. Are you willing to help us?"
Wang Xinmin asked: "Who are you?"
Xu Dalong didn't hide it either, he said: "We are the Eighth Route Army."
Wang Xinmin nodded and said: "I have heard that the Eighth Route Army is a very good team. How do you want me to help you?"
Xu Dalong said: "When we attack the Japanese, many people will be injured and need medicine to treat their injuries. Can you tell us the situation in the clinic?"
Wang Xinmin said: "Okay."
After speaking, he introduced the situation in the clinic in detail.
Xu Dalong said: "You are very good. Our Eighth Route Army is in short supply of doctors. Are you willing to join the Eighth Route Army?"
Wang Xinmin shook his head and said, "I can't leave here, I still have things to do."
Xu Dalong did not force him and said: "Okay, let's leave. Remember, no matter what happens in the clinic, you don't know. I have to wrong you a little."
After saying that, he reached out and slapped his neck with a palm knife, knocking him unconscious.
Xu Dalong carefully covered Wang Xinmin with a quilt to prevent him from catching cold, and then went out with Zheng Xirong towards the clinic.
The clinic is a two-story building, closed at night, and the door is locked from the inside. According to the situation introduced by Wang Xinmin, Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong went around to the back of the building.
It was winter at this time, and most of the windows in the building were closed, but there were some cracked windows, which were the toilets inside.
Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong entered the toilet through the window.
There are two staff on duty in the clinic, one of whom is a doctor and lives in the duty room on the second floor. There is also a Japanese military policeman who lives in the duty room on the first floor. The pharmacy is at the top of the corridor on the first floor.
Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong first came to the duty room on the first floor, went in and killed the Japanese military policeman, and then came to the door of the pharmacy.
There was a lock on the door of the pharmacy, the size of an egg. Xu Dalong brought pliers, but he wanted to test the strength of his fingers, so he held the door lock with his hand and twisted it hard, and he broke the lock head.
Xu Dalong's supernatural power made Zheng Xirong speechless.
Give him a thumbs up.
The two entered the pharmacy and put the needed medicines and medical equipment into two cloth bags using flashlights.
Since the pharmacy was on the first floor, they didn't need to go out from the toilet, so they just opened the window at the back.
Suddenly, Xu Dalong remembered something and said to Zheng Xirong: "Wait for me.
Xu Dalong came to the duty room, dipped a corner of the pillow towel on the bed with the blood of a Japanese military policeman and wrote on the wall: The murderer, Wang Jinke of the Erudite Bookstore.
Xu Dalong and Zheng Xirong came to the street. They passed through dark places and listened to the patrols as they walked.
Soon after, they came to the edge of the city wall and climbed out.
Xu Dalong and others put Wang Jinke on the horse, and the three of them quickly left Pingan County on horseback.
When they entered the base area, it was already dawn, and Xu Dalong and others dismounted and rested.
Xu Dalong came to Wang Jinke and took out the towel from his mouth.
Wang Jinke was jolted by the bumps along the way and sat there, gasping for air.
At this time, Xu Dalong had changed back into the uniform of the Eighth Route Army. Wang Jinke basically understood their identities. He said: "Master Eighth Route Army, I am just an ordinary citizen. Why are you arresting me?"
Xu Dalong said: "If you do things for the Japanese, you are a traitor. What I hate most are traitors. If I catch you, I will put you on trial and shoot you."
Wang Jinke was frightened and said quickly: "Master Balu, I really didn't help the Japanese. I'm not a traitor."
Xu Dalong said: "What is not a traitor? I asked you to help the Japanese go to Taiyuan to solve the case, and you agreed happily. Doesn't this mean you are willing to work for the Japanese? Since you are willing to work for the Japanese, isn't that a traitor?"
Wang Jinke didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that the Eighth Route Army in front of him was really unreasonable. He was obviously pretending to be a Japanese to force him to do something, so why did he become willing to do things for the Japanese?
He said: "I was really wronged. I thought you were Japanese. The Japanese are too cruel. They forced me. If I didn't agree, they would kill me. There was nothing I could do."
Xu Dalong said: "Anyway, if you are willing to help the Japanese, you are a traitor. I might as well not take you back, I will kill you now."
When Xu Dalong said this, Zhao Xiaoman loaded the bullet cooperatively and pointed it at Wang Jinke.
Wang Jinke was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and cried, "Master Balu, please spare me."
Xu Dalong asked: "Don't you want to die?"
Wang Jinke hurriedly said: "I don't want to die, please forgive me."
Xu Dalong said: "We specialize in killing traitors. You must prove that you are not a traitor, and we will not kill you."
Wang Jinke said: "I am not a traitor. I will do whatever you want me to do."
Xu Dalong said: "If you want to prove that you are not a traitor, then you will join the Eighth Route Army and follow us to fight the Japanese."
Wang Jinke knew that fighting the Japanese was dangerous and that marching and fighting was very hard. He hesitated and did not want to agree.
Zheng Xirong said: "Platoon leader, this guy has no sincerity at all. What nonsense are you talking to him? He can be shot."
When Zhao Xiaoman heard this, he immediately hit Wang Jinke with his gun.
Wang Jinke was so frightened that he lost his mind and said repeatedly: "Master Eighth Route Army, please spare me. I will listen to you and be the Eighth Route Army. Isn't that okay?"
Hearing this, Xu Dalong smiled happily, untied the rope for him with his own hands, patted the dirt on his body, and said, "You are welcome to voluntarily join the Eighth Route Army."
Wang Jinke had a bitter look on his face and thought to himself: "What's the point of being voluntary? I'm not forced by you guys. When I find a chance, I'll just run the ball."
Xu Dalong saw through his mind and said with a smile: "You kid, you'd better not make wrong ideas. Let me tell you the truth. We went to the Japs' clinic in the evening. The military policeman who killed the Japs left a signature on the wall. It’s: Wang Jinke from the Murderer’s Erudite Bookstore.”
When Wang Jinke heard this, he said angrily: "You guys are so deceptive."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Okay, if you really don't want to be the Eighth Route Army, you can go back to Ping'an County now."
Wang Jinke glared at Xu Dalong fiercely and said, "You have done such an immoral thing, can I still go back?"
Xu Dalong stepped forward and hugged his shoulders and said: "That's right. It is a very honorable thing to join the Eighth Route Army and fight the Japanese. Now that you have joined the Eighth Route Army, you are doing justice to the country and the people. What a good thing it is. Ah! Don't feel aggrieved. Don't worry, when you arrive in our special service platoon, you will become your own brother, and we will take good care of you."
At this point, Wang Jinke had no way out and had no choice but to accept his fate.
Xu Dalong and others rested for a while, ate some dry food, and then continued on their way.
Xu Dalong asked: "Xizi, what do you think of that surgeon?"
Zheng Xirong said: "It's okay. I think he's pretty good. He's better than this guy Wang Jinke."
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "Sooner or later our special service platoon will have to act alone in the future. It won't work without an army doctor. Find an opportunity to get him here too."
Zheng Xirong smiled and said: "Platoon leader, why do I feel that you are acting like a hero from Liangshan?
Xu Dalong smiled and said: "This is different. We invite some capable people to join our Eighth Route Army to contribute to the Anti-Japanese War. This level is much higher than that of the Liangshan heroes. Ha, ha!"
Independent regiment headquarters.
In Li Yunlong's room, Li Yunlong, Zhao Gang, Kong Jie, and the captain of the health team who came after hearing the news were looking at the trophies that Xu Dalong and others had brought back.
The health captain's face was full of joy as he took the medicines out of the bag. Every time he took out one, he would review it as if he couldn't put it down.
He fiddled with it for a bit long, and Li Yunlong became a little impatient and said, "Okay, take it back and look at it slowly. We have other things to do."
The health captain didn't care about Li Yunlong's attitude, and he and the doctors and nurses on the health team took the medicine and left happily.
Xu Dalong reported the situation in Ping'an County to the three regiment leaders.
He said: "In Ping'an County, there was originally only a military police unit of the Japanese army, but now an infantry brigade of the Japanese army is stationed. They came here just a month ago, and the details have not yet been found out. I don't know what their intentions are. "
Kong Jie said with some worry: "Ping'an County is only more than 110 kilometers away from us. This is a big threat and we should pay more attention to it."
Zhao Gang said: "Suddenly an infantry brigade came, which is unusual. I think it is necessary to report it to my superiors."
Li Yunlong said: "No problem, just report to the brigade commander."
Seeing that nothing happened to him, Xu Dalong said goodbye and left.
He did not go directly back to the special service platoon, but first came to the cavalry company barracks.
Xu Dalong saw Sun Desheng and said, "This time I went to Ping'an County to buy you Laodao brand cigarettes. Look, they are definitely authentic."
Xu Dalong took out a few packs of cigarettes and handed them to Sun Desheng.
Sun Desheng looked at the picture of a pirate holding a big knife printed on the cigarette box, took out another cigarette, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and said happily: "Yes, it is definitely a good product. Thank you, Brother Dalong." .”
Xu Dalong said: "Brother, you're welcome. Our special service platoon does not plan to arrange other training subjects these days. I want to take the special service platoon to train with you when your cavalry company is training, and train our special service platoon well. Platoon riding skills.”
Sun Desheng said: "No problem, brother Dalong, your business is my business. Don't worry, I will personally teach the members of your special service platoon to ride horses and ensure that they will all be good riders in the future."
Wang Jinke came to the special service platoon. Xu Dalong did not include him in the squad for the time being. He arranged his bed next to his. He talked to him when he had time and took good care of him in life.
Seeing that he was relatively weak, I only allowed him to participate in the simplest training at the beginning to give him a gradual adaptation process.
As time went by, Wang Jinke gradually began to adapt to the life of the special service platoon.
He found that Xu Dalong was very respected not only in the special service platoon, but also in the entire independent regiment. He was very sincere towards himself and took great care of himself in training and life. The resentment he felt toward Xu Dalong gradually dissipated, and he finally fell in love with the life of the special service platoon.
After breakfast that day, Xu Dalong was called to the regiment headquarters.
Zhao Gang told him a task. He said that after Xu Dalong's reconnaissance from Ping'an County was reported to the brigade, the brigade commander took it very seriously and sent the brigade's enemy engineering section chief to personally go to Ping'an County to reconnoiter the enemy's situation and asked Xu Dalong to cooperate. .
Xu Dalong accepted the mission and brought Zheng Xirong and Zhao Xiaoman to Ping'an County again.
In a guest room on the second floor of Dongsheng Inn in the county town, Xu Dalong met Li Changshui, chief of the enemy engineering section of the brigade.
