Chapter 99 My Third Brother Is Invincible!
Although the two of them seemed to be in harmony on the surface, in fact, Li Wenjie and Xie Baoqing had fallen into a dilemma, and neither of them wanted to really fight.
After all, both sides were unsure, and the result of a head-on confrontation could only be a loss for both sides.
As the head of the Black Cloud Village, Xie Baoqing really didn't want to provoke the independent regiment that was in its heyday.
Unlike the transport team of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, even if they bullied those people, they would not necessarily be cleared out, not to mention that they still had the mountain village as a backing.
But the young man in front of him was a political commissar. Although he didn't know much about the internal situation of the Eighth Route Army, even a fool knew what the status of the political commissar was.
Once the sword and the knife were used, if the other party was killed, it would be a fight to the death.
But he had just scolded his second brother Shanmaozi. If he didn't stand up at this time, he would definitely lose his prestige in the hearts of his brothers, which was a taboo for being a boss.
Li Wenjie's current thoughts were similar to Xie Baoqing. Originally, he was in high spirits and wanted to make some achievements before taking office to prove that he was not inferior to anyone.
He knew that the original political commissar of the independent regiment was his brother, and he didn't want to live under the care of others.
But because of his eagerness for quick success, he committed a taboo in military strategy. If he returns to the school in the rear area now, he will definitely be scolded by the instructor.
However, Li Wenjie didn't have time to think so much. He had already drawn his sword and drawn his crossbow. It would be too much of a blow to show his weakness.
The other party was pulling for a while in the process of mutual probing, and finally Xie Baoqing spoke first. He pretended to be calm and glanced at the cavalry in front.
"Is there anything wrong with Political Commissar Li? The brothers are going back to drink, why don't we go to the mountain village together?"
This sentence contains a lot of information. Xie Baoqing mainly wanted to remind the Eighth Route Army on the opposite side that he was the king of the mountain, and hoped that they could retreat when they knew the difficulties.
And it also indirectly expressed that he just didn't want to cause trouble, but he was not afraid of it.
"It's no big deal. The boss robbed our friendly army's supplies. I, Li Wenjie, am here to ask for them back on behalf of the friendly army."
"After all, these are the things of the anti-Japanese army. The boss doesn't want to offend all the anti-Japanese armed forces in Shanxi Province at once."
This is also the art of language. Li Wenjie heard the threat in Xie Baoqing's words.
Although his side was temporarily at a disadvantage, Li Wenjie's IQ regained the high ground after calming down. He found that the bandit leader on the opposite side didn't want to really fight.
So he used his own way to fight back. Compared with a large-scale mountain stronghold, the weight of the anti-Japanese armed forces in the province is obviously much greater.
As a ruthless person who can still thrive among many forces, Xie Baoqing naturally understood the deep meaning of this.
But Shanmaozi on the side didn't think so.
As a scumbag who doesn't like to use his brain, these supplies are meat to eat in his mind. Now someone dares to force them to spit it out, he is a hundred times unwilling.
"What a joke, what are you Eighth Route Army soldiers? We brothers are doing this business."
"You give it just like that. How will our colleagues view our Black Cloud Village? Are you going to let my brothers starve?"
In Shanmaozi's opinion, the eldest brother had just expressed his position that they would definitely not hand over this batch of supplies. The other side only had one cavalry company, and the brothers in the mountain village occupied the advantageous terrain.
As long as the three of them could retreat back to the team, they would not suffer any loss. The other side dared to be so arrogant, they really couldn't figure it out.
Since Gao Jianwu came, Shanmaozi has a strong sense of crisis. The eldest brother who used to be tolerant of him is now getting more and more impatient with him, and sometimes even scolds him in front of his brothers.
This scoundrel thinks that this scene is a good opportunity to show his bravery, so he just interrupted and took the lead.
But this action made Xie Baoqing very uncomfortable, and his face turned red and purple. If there were no outsiders present, he would definitely teach his useless brother a lesson.
"How dare you! You dare to talk to our political commissar like that? Who the hell are you? I think you are tired of living! Machine guns ready!"
As a guard personally arranged by the brigade commander, this company commander is not only experienced in combat, but also has good emotional intelligence.
He understood the conversation just now, and it is definitely impossible to fight now. Momentum is very important during negotiations, and he cannot remain indifferent to the other party's rude words.
After hearing the order from their company commander, the three soldiers in the team picked up the FM-24/29 in their arms and stared at the three bandit leaders of Heiyun Village.
Just when Xie Baoqing felt that he was in a stalemate and there was a high probability that there would be a battle today, Gao Jianwu, who was beside him, rode his horse and stepped forward slightly, clasped his fists and said:
"Political Commissar Li, in the troubled times, my brothers and I are helpless to become bandits. This robbery is the livelihood of poor people like us."
Speaking of this, Gao Jianwu tore off his clothes, revealing his upper body covered with scars. He pointed at the wounds and said to Li Wenjie and others:
"This scar was left when I assassinated the Japanese major general in Shang H. These gunshot wounds were caused by the Japanese when I was delivering telephone lines during the Battle of Sihang Warehouse."
"We are also people who are well aware of the national justice, and I dare to say with confidence that Heiyun Village has never taken advantage of the Eighth Route Army's supplies in these years."
"If there is no other way, who would want to be a bandit!"
Xie Baoqing looked at Gao Jianwu who was seriously changing the concept in front of him, and he silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart.
Although no one knows what the scars on the other party are, how could Heiyun Village not have robbed the Eighth Route Army.
However, one thing must be admitted, that is, even this old gangster in his forties was a little excited when he heard Gao Jianwu's words. And because of this speech, the atmosphere between the two sides has indeed eased.
If the current conditions did not allow it, Xie Baoqing really wanted to shout, my third brother is invincible!
For Li Wenjie, he did not know Gao Jianwu, nor did he know the specific situation of Heiyun Village. As a rookie who had just entered the world of martial arts, he even felt that this group of bandits had some advantages.
"Boss, since you are all loyal and righteous men, why don't you put down your weapons and have a good talk."
"Although you have made mistakes in the past, as long as you sincerely change your ways, you still have a chance to start a new life."
"If it is true as the third boss said, you are all helpless to become bandits, then why not fight the devils openly."
When Xie Baoqing heard this, he immediately felt that today's events had taken a turn for the better. Moreover, with this excuse, it was not impossible for him to hand over the supplies. Gao Jianwu and Li Wenjie had already given him a way out.
It was a pity that he could not see the hint of mockery on Gao Jianwu's lips.
Xie Baoqing pretended to hesitate and thought for a moment. He said to Li Wenjie and others: "So what does Political Commissar Li mean is that we can let bygones be bygones today and let the brothers go?"
Seeing that the matter was finally settled, Li Wenjie also breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the bandits opposite him seriously.
"As long as you return the supplies to the 358th Regiment, you can leave here. Now is the Anti-Japanese War, and the people of the whole country, regardless of region, must point their guns at the enemy."
"As long as you don't do anything that harms the heaven and earth, as long as you fight the devils, you are also our friendly army."
Xie Baoqing was very satisfied with being able to solve the problem in this way. He decided to stop while he was ahead to avoid more trouble: "Since you have spoken, my Black Cloud Village must give the Eighth Route Army a face."
"Brothers, leave the things! Withdraw the troops and return to the mountain village! Political Commissar Li, we will meet again later."
Li Wenjie had a lack of information about Black Cloud Village, and coupled with Gao Jianwu's passionate speech, he mistakenly believed that the bandits on the opposite side had not caused much bloodshed to the people.
The young political commissar felt that the other party was not a hopeless person. Although he had robbed the weapons, equipment and supplies of the Shanxi Suiyuan Army, he could still be successfully reformed after strict ideological education.
So before Xie Baoqing left, he stopped these bandit leaders and spoke his heartfelt words.
"Since you have the heart to serve the country and have ambushed the devils before, you know the national justice. Why don't you join the Eighth Route Army to fight against Japan together?"
"The boss should think about the future of the mountain stronghold. After all, occupying the mountain is not a long-term solution."
"This is just a suggestion. You go back and think about it. I am waiting for your good news at any time in the independent regiment."
Xie Baoqing looked at the serious expression of the young man in front of him, and he nodded hesitantly: "Thank you, Political Commissar Li, I will think about it seriously."
The bandits in Heiyun Village put down the looted supplies and put the weapons and equipment that originally belonged to the Shanxi Suiyuan Army Transport Team on the ground, and then left with their tails between their legs.
After waiting for a while, after confirming that these people really left and were not playing tricks, Li Wenjie assigned some soldiers to be on guard, and then continued to move towards the direction of the independent regiment with supplies.
The young man felt that he had done two great things. Not only did he help the friendly army recover the supplies, but he also taught a group of bandits.
Ten minutes later, Kong Jie appeared on the mountain road ahead with the soldiers of the independent regiment.
Seeing Li Wenjie and others carrying a lot of baggage, he immediately realized that something must have happened just now. Kong Jie, with a forehead full of question marks, galloped to the other side.
Looking at the boy in front of him who looked 70% like his old partner, this strong man had already burst into tears.
Here we come, there is more tonight
