Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

Brigadier Chen paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, and walked to the door to look out from time to time, but every time he came back with a disappointed face.

Cavalry company, why haven't you come back yet?

According to the scheduled itinerary, the cavalry company should return to the brigade headquarters before dark, but now several hours have passed, and the cavalry company has not been seen yet.

Where did Jolin and the others go?

Brigadier Chen was anxious about this matter.

Qiaolin and the cavalry company are disciplined no matter what they do, especially punctual.

They usually arrive earlier than the agreed time, and there has never been a delay. Like today, there is no news for a few hours late, which is the first time in history.

Something must have happened on the way, after all, there is a section of the road that belongs to the enemy-occupied area.

Brigadier Chen made a sharp judgment, and then began to worry.

According to the original plan, the deputy commander-in-chief of the cavalry company will return after arriving in Xin County to meet with the working group of the headquarters.

So the question now is whether something happened on the way to Xin County or on the way back.

If the former, is the Deputy Commander safe?

More and more speculations are mixed together, and I can't make out the slightest clue.

Do you want to contact the headquarters and ask?

Brigadier Chen was a little confused, because he didn't know whether the headquarters had understood the relevant situation. It's good that the deputy commander-in-chief was fine, but if anything happened, it would definitely cause a shock to the Eighth Route Army.

The identity of the deputy commander-in-chief is sensitive, and right now it is a key node for the Eighth Route Army to consolidate its base areas and seek expansion. As the saying goes, it affects the whole body, and any accident may affect the overall layout.

But if you don't ask, can you just wait like this?

"Jingle Bell!"

While Brigadier Chen was still hesitating, the phone on the desk rang suddenly.

"Hey, this is the [-]th Brigade, deputy commander-in-chief? It's me, what? I was ambushed by the enemy? Where's the cavalry company? Where's Qiao Lin? What..."

Brigadier Chen picked up the phone, and the expression on his face changed again and again.

"What happened?"

Political Commissar Wang noticed the abnormality, and after hanging up the phone, he hurriedly asked.

"The deputy commander and the headquarters working group were ambushed by enemy forces on their way back."

Brigadier Chen sighed, his expression very ugly.

Chapter 720 Forward Thinking

"Ambush? Is there a traitor in the team?"

Commissar Wang tensed up instantly.

In fact, the reason is not difficult to infer. Whether it is the deputy commander-in-chief or the working group at the headquarters, the itinerary is absolutely confidential.

If you encounter a little devil by chance, it can also be understood as bad luck.

But this ambush showed that the little devil had ambushed there in advance. If there were no traitors in the team and the enemy was informed in advance, how would they know the itinerary.

"It was the people from the security department of the headquarters who reported to the enemy. They were ambushed shortly after leaving Xin County. If it wasn't for the cavalry company this time, they would have been in big trouble, alas!"

Brigadier Chen knocked on the table annoyed.

The deputy commander-in-chief told him on the phone that the cavalry company had sacrificed 33 soldiers to protect the head of the headquarters this time, and all the others were injured and hospitalized. The cavalry company estimated that it would take a few days to return.

33 people were sacrificed. This number is very small in any battle.

But when the cavalry company was involved, Brigadier Chen's heart ached as if he had been pulled.

It's not that he values ​​the cavalry company and despises other soldiers. All Eighth Route Army soldiers are equally important to him.

It's just that with the powerful combat effectiveness of the cavalry company, 33 people were sacrificed, and the rest were seriously injured. One can imagine how dangerous the ambush encountered this time.

The deputy commander-in-chief did not describe the specific situation in detail on the phone, but only said that he had encountered an ambush, the number of casualties of the cavalry company, etc., so Brigadier Chen did not understand it very carefully.

"Cavalry company? This is a bit strange."

Commissar Wang frowned, as if he had caught something.

"You mean the cavalry company shouldn't have been involved in this incident?"

Brigadier Chen and Political Commissar Wang are old partners for many years, and they can guess what the other is thinking with just a glance.

"That's right, look, according to the original plan, the deputy commander of the cavalry company should return after escorting the deputy commander to Xin County to join the work group. Why did you follow outside Xin County? Did you notice something in advance? If so , why don’t you think of a way to avoid it?”

Political Commissar Wang found it very strange that the cavalry company shouldn't have followed the deputy commander after he left Xin County. The only explanation was that he had foreseen an accident in advance.

But since it is predicted that something will happen, why not think of a way to avoid it?Two contradictory.

"I really can't figure it out. I can only wait for Qiao Lin to come back and ask him."

Brigadier Chen frowned and thought about it, but he didn't come to a conclusion.

"There is a traitor in the team this time, and it is bound to be rectified again. I am busy during this time."

Political Commissar Wang shook his head and stood up. He is a political commissar, and his duty is political work. It is estimated that the headquarters will issue internal documents on the rectification soon, and he will be responsible for these.

"It's okay to say that the base area, the headquarters may be relocated this time, and we have to be prepared to change the defense zone at any time."

Brigadier Chen believed that nothing happened to the deputy commander in chief and the comrades in the working group of the headquarters.

"Chief, it's getting late, you've been on the road for a few days, should you rest earlier?"

The ambush encountered on the way really made the atmosphere at the Eighth Route Army headquarters a lot tense. After discussing the incident in detail with the commander-in-chief, the guards saw that it was late at night and reminded the deputy commander-in-chief that it was time to rest.

"Now..."

The deputy commander raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "Don't rush to sleep, go to the headquarters hospital first."

At this time, the headquarters hospital has not turned off the lights, so there should be time to visit the wounded.

The guard knew that the chief was concerned about the wounded, so he quickly called a few people and accompanied the deputy commander to the headquarters hospital.

"Deputy Commander, are you still awake?"

Qiao Lin's bed was in the innermost part of the ward, near the window, and he couldn't sleep. He kept staring out the window in a daze, and didn't turn his head until he noticed someone coming in. He didn't expect it to be the deputy commander.

"You haven't slept, what are you thinking?"

The deputy commander looked at the wounded who were already asleep on the other beds, and walked to Qiao Lin's bed and asked softly.

"I'm thinking about the failure of the little devil's ambush plan, what action will be taken next."

Qiao Lin retracted his legs to make room for the deputy commander to sit down.

"You have a strategic vision, you have even thought of this? How about it, does the wound still hurt?"

The deputy commander-in-chief smiled in relief and asked with concern.

When a battle is over, usually people think about what happened during the battle.

Those with simple thinking mostly think about how many enemies they have killed and how many comrades have died.

Those with more complicated thinking will summarize the mistakes in this battle and provide experience for the improvement of the troops.

Those with forward-looking thinking will consider what changes this battle will cause and what will happen in the future.

The questions Qiao Lin and the deputy commander had in mind coincided.

"It's nothing. I don't think I need to be hospitalized. I have a strong recovery ability. This injury will be fine in two days."

Jolin moved his shoulders and said.

This is the truth. His physical fitness and recovery ability are different from ordinary people. He has suffered more severe injuries. He was still alive and kicking after lying on the bed for two days.

"You have to listen to the doctor, you can't let your own temper do it. I heard from Doctor Wang that the three stab wounds on your abdomen and lower back almost hurt your internal organs. You need to take good care of it."

When he heard that Qiao Lin wanted to be discharged from the hospital, the deputy commander immediately put on a straight face. He was acting like a hero when he was so injured. That's not being strong, that's being stupid.

"Yes, I listen to the doctor."

Seeing that the deputy commander was going to be angry, Qiao Lin quickly changed his words.

"Well, I am also responsible for this incident. So many comrades have sacrificed. If I had discovered Lin Heyi's problem earlier, maybe I could have avoided it."

The deputy commander in chief sighed, his eyes flushed.

This time in an ambush, nearly [-] soldiers died from the guard company and the cavalry company, and all of this was caused by a traitor.

The deputy commander-in-chief is also human, and he also has feelings. When he thought of those soldiers who were alive and kicking yesterday, they died because of a traitor, he felt sad for a while.

"Deputy Commander, you don't have to blame yourself. This kind of thing is inevitable. Even if we predicted it in advance, there is nothing we can do about it. After all, we have to go that way."

Qiao Lin softly comforted the deputy commander.

In fact, his heart is no better than that of the deputy commander. The cavalry company sacrificed 33 people at once, and he is familiar with each of them. He can recite their names, ages, hometowns, and even hobbies.

But after a battle, the yin and yang are separated, and when I think about it, it's as if the flesh on my body has been cut off.

There was also the guard company. Although he didn't like the arrogant attitude of the guard company, he didn't dislike them. None of them deserted on the battlefield.

Those sacrificed soldiers, although they had shortcomings, were all iron-blooded soldiers, and they were worthy of their uniforms.

"By the way, I've been thinking all this way. How did you find out that Lin Heyi is abnormal? After all, it's the first time you've met. I've worked with him for many years, but I didn't find anything wrong with him."

The deputy commander-in-chief has a puzzling question.

Not only himself, but also those comrades in the working group did not suspect Lin Heyi.

Chapter 720 How did you find out

But Qiao Lin, why did he find out that Lin Heyi had a problem after just one glance? Could it be that his eyes can see through people's hearts?

The deputy commander naturally wouldn't believe in the so-called psychic theory, so he felt that Qiao Lin must have discovered some flaws that others hadn't noticed, and thus became suspicious of Lin Heyi.

"Actually, at the beginning, I didn't doubt Lin Heyi. This person is so ordinary that people can easily ignore him. I only paid special attention to him because he caught up halfway and yelled."

Qiao Lin recalled the scene when he first met Lin Heyi, and talked about his process from doubt to certainty about this person.

In fact, Lin Heyi's appearance is very deceptive.

He is not the kind of upright person who looks upright, nor does he have the appearance of a refined scholar.
