At this time, although Wang Qingfeng's brother-in-law had met Mr. Wang before, he had long forgotten about it. He thought about the war every day, so how could he think of Shang Zhen and this small group of defeated soldiers.
At this time, he saw that his brother-in-law was very embarrassed and could only change the topic.
When Shang Zhen saw that the question was on his head, he looked at Wang Qingfeng. After a moment, he said, "Did we hit him?"
This time, before his brother-in-law could speak, Wang Qingfeng had already shouted: "Why weren't you the ones who beat me? You even scolded me!"
"What did we scold you for?" Shang Zhen asked deliberately in surprise.
"You called me fat, and you said you would let us raise pigs!" Wang Qingfeng shouted again.
Wang Qingfeng's words immediately confused the brother-in-law above him. After a while, he asked: "From what you said, do you know them before?"
"Brigadier, not only do I know him, but you also know him. Do you remember when we were in Suizhong -" Fatty Wang started to talk.
After he said this, the people above realized that Shang Zhen and his group actually belonged to a bad team in Wang Qingfeng's eyes. They also realized that Wang Qingfeng and Shang Zhen actually knew each other. It seemed that Wang Qingfeng and Shang Zhen had a good relationship. What a feud!
"They are just a group of deserters. Brigadier, we must take them back!" Wang Qingfeng said later.
"Then what evidence do you have that you were beaten by them?" Brigadier Zhao finally asked.
"When they were kicking me, they were talking to me. They said, 'You damn fat man asked you to let us raise pigs, and asked you to call us broom stars'!
This is when we retreated here a few days ago, I saw that they were the group of people who were driven out by the Japanese.
I just wanted to catch these deserters but I didn't. I didn't expect them to come and beat me secretly! "Wang Qingfeng continued to state.
"Tell me, which one of you beat him?" Seeing that Wang Qingfeng was telling the story so clearly, it would be a big deal, Brigadier Zhao asked again.
At this time, Shang Zhen, who was standing at the front of his group, took a step forward.
When Shang Zhen walked forward, he undoubtedly admitted that he had done it.
But how could those people behind him let him take the responsibility alone, so everyone took another step forward.
"This -" Brigadier Zhao, who was always decisive whether in daily life or in commanding battles, pondered.
He suddenly found himself in an awkward position.
From what Wang Qingfeng said, Shang Zhen and the others originally belonged to Wang Qingfeng's Northeast Army.
Now don't worry about whether it was the original officers of the Northeast Army who found Shang Zhen and the other soldiers, or whether Shang Zhen and the others took the initiative to find the Northeast Army, but they were all in the same group, and he seemed to be an outsider, so it was hard to say anything!
So in the end, Brigadier Zhao turned to look at Wang Qingfeng's brother-in-law and said: "Brother Liu, although this incident happened in my brigade, it is your own business after all.
Logically speaking, I shouldn't be involved in your affairs and it's not my turn to do so.
However, I still hope that I will think twice about what I said. "
Brigadier Zhao said this, Wang Qingfeng's brother-in-law naturally listened and said hurriedly: "Brother Cheng Yu, please speak, I am all ears."
Only when they arrived at Shang Zhen did they know that the brigade commander's full name was Zhao Chengyu.
Zhao Chengyu glanced at Shang Zhen and the others again before saying slowly, "They are not deserters."
Just these words from Zhao Chengyu directly made everyone present's expressions become more exciting.
Wang Qingfeng's expression was angry.
In his opinion, Shang Zhen and his group were deserters, a handful of defeated soldiers from the Northeast Army, and they were only allowed to raise pigs for themselves.
Wang Qingfeng's brother-in-law looked thoughtful at Shang Zhen and the others.
Shang Zhen and others already looked grateful to Zhao Chengyu.
Previously, Wang Qingfeng said that they were deserters.
The deserter's hat is definitely not small!
In today's army, the label of deserting is even heavier than the label of raping civilian women and taking away people's property!
Why? At this time, it is because the current Chinese army is in disarray.
The discipline of some armies is extremely bad. If the officers are like that, they will naturally not restrain their subordinates.
As an official, you don't care how your subordinates treat the people, as long as you work hard for me.
In other words, military discipline almost doesn't matter, but if you don't work for me but become a deserter, it will definitely not work. All armies will definitely kill deserters if they catch them!
Now, Zhao Chengyu said that Shang Zhen and the others were not deserters, so how could Shang Zhen and the others not be grateful?
Both Shang Zhen and Wang Lao Mao understood that without the label of deserter, they could return to the Northeastern Army openly and honestly!
At this time, when Shang Zhen heard Zhao Chengyu's words, he didn't dare to look at Zhao Chengyu's eyes. He was afraid that he would blurt out when he got excited: "Captain Zhao, we, the dozen or so people, will go with you!"
If he said this, Zhao Chengyu would probably accept them.
Now looking at Zhao Chengyu's reputation, as long as he looses his voice, how could he not accept it? And how could the officers above not give Zhao Chengyu some face?
But do I really want to team up with these people to join the Northwest Army? Then if he really joined the Northwest Army, wouldn't his previous plan with Mr. Wang be in vain?
Suddenly, Shang Zhen became confused.
At this time, it was as if there were two little people arguing in his mind.
One said, don't go back to the Northeast Army. Look, the people in the Northwest Army are real men! If officers and soldiers are united, how can soldiers be afraid of death? Even in such an army, one would be willing to die!
But the other one is saying, how old are you before you join the Northwest Army? Although it would be honorable for you to go up and fight the Japanese with a bayonet to death, but according to your original fighting method, you could have killed more Japanese. The battle is not fought by aunts like them!
What finally interrupted Shang Zhen's thoughts was the sound of footsteps. At this time, a person standing below stepped forward, that was Han Liancai.
When everyone saw Han Hong, they walked directly to Brigadier Zhao Chengyu's ear and whispered a few words.
As for what they were talking about, they spoke so quietly that Shang Zhen and the others couldn't hear clearly.
But at this time, Mr. Wang, who was standing behind Shang Zhen, secretly tapped Shang Zhen's heel with his toe.
Shang Zhen didn't react at all. This was not the time for their soldiers to make small moves below.
But what Mr. Wang can think of, can’t Shang Zhen think of it?
At this moment, Shang Zhen saw Zhao Chengyu and Han Liancai looking towards him under the bright candlelight, and Han Liancai even winked at him.
As for what Han Liancai meant, Shang Zhen didn't need to ask, and he didn't need to guess. Even most of them, Shang Zhen and others, understood.
What does Han Liancai look like? Those are the seductive little eyes!
Just yesterday Han Liancai went to their place, and said that they would work together from now on, and let's kill the Japanese as fast as we can, but Shang Zhen and Mr. Wang used delaying tactics to drag him away.
It's just that they didn't speak clearly to each other, but then someone wanted to openly pick it out.
"Those people are just that." Wang Qingfeng spoke again.
Of course Wang Qingfeng will make his own decisions.
I didn't deal with this group of scoundrels before, but now I finally caught them again, and labeled them as deserters. Then when Shang Zhen and the others really returned to the Northeast Army, I wouldn't let myself. Can you control it?
It's just that Wang Qingfeng was thinking about saying that Shang Zhen and the others were deserters, but as he spoke, he remembered that Brigadier Zhao of the Northwest Army had just said that these broomsticks were not deserters, so he had better not do it first. He was bored, so he said "that".
Just "that thing" doesn't work either!
"Shut your mouth, you have no right to speak here!" His brother-in-law scolded loudly.
So Wang Qingfeng shut up.
And his brother-in-law also looked at Shang Zhen and the others and said, "Which one of you is the leader?"
At this point, Shang Zhen naturally wouldn't push Old Wang's hat out, so he raised his chest again.
"It's not easy for you to run all the way from Beida camp here. If you want to stay here, I won't force you." Wang Qingfeng's brother-in-law, the brigade commander, said in a very open-minded tone.
Can he be unenlightened? What Han Liancai said just now while lying in Zhao Chengyu's ear could not be heard by the people below, but he could hear it.
Wasn't it because his brother-in-law was kicked and "kei"ed? Of course he knew what this was. If his brother-in-law hadn't been protected by him, he would have died several times!
At this moment, when Wang Qingfeng's brother-in-law said these words, Han Liancai was already happy.
There are many people serving as soldiers in China, but when it comes to a company or even a regiment and battalion, there are not many key elements who are both wise and brave.
Han Liancai was in contact with Shang Zhen and the others. At least he recognized Shang Zhen's combat effectiveness.
From Han Liancai's point of view, Shang Zhen and the others were happy to cooperate with him, so wouldn't it be natural for them to stay?
However, Shang Zhen's answer after a moment of silence completely disappointed him.
Shang Zhen didn't look at him. He just stared at the bright candlelight and said slowly: "Since Brigadier Zhao has proved that we are not deserters, we are willing to return to the army."
Han Liancai's expression changed immediately, and that of Brigadier Zhao Chengyu also changed slightly.
But Shang Zhen didn't look at Han Liancai. Of course, he could imagine what Han Liancai looked like now.
But at the same time, Shang Zhen seemed to hear the silent sigh in the heart of Zhao Chengyu.
