On the third day, Liu She, who had returned from inspecting the surrounding regiments, held a four-person summary meeting and asked his adjutant to call the engineer battalion commander Kuang Shimin.
After a while, Kuang Shimin's report came in. Liu She asked An Yi how his third company was doing now. Kuang Shimin blushed and said apologetically that he had not been there since the fight that night.
Liu Zie calmly waved away Kuang Shimin and sighed slightly to Xu Tingyao, Hu Shusen and Jiang Dingwen:
"Kuang Shimin is good at everything else, but he is a little too timid. No wonder, now the whole division is talking about An Yi and the other three beating up more than 20 soldiers and ruffians. Maybe this matter has been spread to the commander. Now
We just have time to go and take a look, so as not to have to go up to the peak and ask questions without knowing anything."
The three officers stood up and followed Liu Zhi downstairs. Xu Tingyao asked Jiang Dingwen: "Brother Ming is more familiar with An Yi. Do you think An Yi's actions were premeditated?"
"No, I don't think so! I know An Yi quite well. He treats people with sincerity, is generous and open-minded, and can talk to almost everyone in Huangpu. Although he likes to play some pranks, he always tries to
Important matters are never ambiguous. Another thing is, before he came to report, he had no idea how many soldiers he had and what kind of soldiers they were. So I judged that the twenty or so veterans bullied him because he was young and wanted to give him a showdown, but it turned out that
Being punished is really funny when you think about it." Jiang Dingwen said with a smile on his face.
Liu She added a sentence: "At that time, I paid attention to the signs of chaos at the scene and concluded that they were fighting in groups. When I came back, I thought about it carefully. What was the reason for the complete defeat of these ruffians, who were not afraid of anything? No.
After a while, I remembered that everyone might not have noticed Hu Jialin next to An Yi. No one had ever mentioned Hu Jialin, who was an equestrian instructor in Huangpu. This time An Yi called Shusen and strongly recommended him. Shusen and Shusen
After some discussion, I thought it was feasible, because our engineering battalion was indeed short of men, and packhorses would soon be assigned to various engineering units, so I agreed. Now I deeply doubt that this Hu Jialin is a hidden master, otherwise I would
The abilities of An Yi and Yin Jinan are definitely no match for those old ruffian soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles, so I have been thinking for the past two days, maybe we have found a treasure. If they are really masters, it means that An Yi is a wise man.
"Ming."
"That makes sense."
Hu Shusen echoed: "When we get there later, we will call one or two soldiers to ask and we will find out. I hope there will be no resentment between the officers and soldiers because of this, otherwise it will be difficult to handle!"
As soon as the four officers arrived at the gate of the camp, a veteran standing guard immediately raised his hand to salute and said hello loudly. Liu She and others looked at the veteran's smoothly shaved face and neat military uniforms, and looked very surprised. Although the number of personnel was not full, no rifles were issued.
, but this veteran's armed belt was tied up meticulously and he appeared to be in high spirits. Except for his two eyes that kept rolling around, his whole body was almost flawless. The contrast with the previous sloppy image was quite obvious.
Chief of Staff Hu Shusen stepped forward and asked kindly: "You have never stood guard since you moved in. When did you start standing guard?"
"Sir, starting from the day before yesterday, we all have to stand guard according to the order of the shift." The veteran's voice was loud, obviously informing the people inside that a senior officer was coming to inspect.
Liu She and others have been in the army for many years, so how could they still not know the tricks of the ruffian soldiers in front of them? After saying "take a break", they walked inside and saw the clean, tidy and brand-new barracks. They were all shocked.
Sharp-eyed Jiang Dingwen pointed to the seven veterans with their backs to him under the longan tree, and laughed:
"You didn't expect it, didn't you? Seven old ruffians squatted in a neat row, each with at least seven or eight bricks on their heads, motionless, but they didn't see a company platoon commander beside them, haha! Obviously An Yi
We have subdued these old gangsters... Let's go over and ask them what kind of tricks they are playing?"
Liu Zhi and others became more interested. They walked under the longan tree and looked at the seven old ruffians with interest, who were squatting with eight or nine bricks on their heads and their uniforms were soaked with sweat. Liu Zhi's adjutant saw seven soldiers.
There was no response, so he hurriedly stepped forward and ordered loudly:
"stand at attention--"
Unexpectedly, a few veterans with their backs to a group of officers not only squatted still, but started to talk and curse in obscene words: "Are you messing around with me again? Wait until you get through these last few minutes, let's see if I don't tear myself apart."
your mouth……"
"Don't fucking think that if you were a sissy, I wouldn't know it was your grandson who was causing trouble..."
"Brother, don't be fooled! Several unscrupulous scoundrels are taking turns to make fun of our brothers. They just want to see us make mistakes and be punished with extra time. Stay calm, you must stay calm! If the time comes, go and find this wicked person.
Grandson, I don’t believe he can escape to grandma’s house..."
"Yes, even if he digs three feet into the ground, he will be dragged out and beaten. It's his uncle's fault..."
Hearing these vulgar words, the adjutant flushed with anger but did not dare to step forward and kick out his anger. Liu She and others looked at each other, then burst into laughter.
An Yi and the other three heard the familiar laughter and rushed out of the barracks to report loudly. Yin Jinan secretly signaled the seven veterans who were being punished to get up. The veterans dropped the bricks on their heads one after another and made a series of noisy sounds. They stood up and turned around.
They were so frightened that their faces turned green. They all stood there at a loss and didn't know what to do. After all, according to military regulations, insulting an officer would result in a three-day detention at the very least.
After returning the gift, Liu She walked towards the seven sweating veterans and issued a series of commands. The veterans were also lined up neatly, but every one of them had pain and nervousness on their faces.
Liu She looked at the nameplate on the chest of the veteran in the platoon and loudly ordered: "Private Li Shunping, come out!"
"yes!"
The short and stocky Li Shunping strode forward and stood upright.
Liu She asked without emotion: "Tell me, what are you doing?"
Li Shunping hesitated slightly and answered truthfully, but his voice had no strength:
"Sir, the seven of us ran away first in the fight that day and were punished by the company commander. Company Commander An said... He said that the seven of us were unloyal and left our brothers behind to escape first. From today on, we will be punished by five
Squat with bricks for half an hour. If you stand up or drop a brick, add an extra brick. If you drop two bricks, add an extra ten minutes... I didn't know the commander was coming just now, so we can't talk without being virtuous... Please forgive me, sir."
