The fat man's words were loud, for some reason, the fat man, who was not very eloquent, said this time, and he actually talked endlessly, like a river, which made Zhou Wu and Lao Xu and Niu Political Commissar speechless, and they couldn't come up with any reason to refute him, and the surroundings suddenly fell into a very embarrassing silence, and everyone was silent.
Zhou Wu's heart is fighting fiercely at the moment, why don't he want to execute those devil war criminals with his own hands, in order to comfort the relatives who died tragically under the devil bomb eight years ago, if his son Xiao Wuzi does not die, he has now grown into a big guy, maybe there are rifles so high, and what makes Zhou Wu rush to worry is his old parents, he has been in the army all the year round, and he failed to fulfill his filial piety, but even the second old man died tragically under the devil bomb, he is most sorry for his wife Xiuying, since marrying him, Never enjoyed a day of happiness, all day long housework, help the old and the young, and finally ended up under a tragic death devil bomb, today the enemy is in the hands, but to pretend to be tolerant and generous to let go of a batch of them, which is unacceptable to any one for a while.
But at this moment, Zhou Wu is not the brigade commander of the former Kuomintang army, but the brigade commander of the New Fourth Army in Jiangbei under the leadership of the Communist Party, of course he knows the iron-like discipline of the New Fourth Army, the orders issued by the superiors must be carried out unconditionally, and obedience to the organization is a necessary condition for a revolutionary soldier.
Compared with those who suffered from the slaughter of devils in Nanjing City and those who have been repeatedly swept and mutilated by devils in the Jiangbei base area, these family feuds of mine are not big, or the division commander and political commissar are right, it is easy to kill all these little devils, but it is not easy to convince those devils and the descendants of devils, what should I do I do is to execute all of them according to my own wishes while I have the power to dispose of devil prisoners of war, or to punish a group of devil prisoners of war who have committed heinous crimes in accordance with the principle of prisoners of war designated by the superiors, Transform the minds of the remaining devils Lao Niu saw that Zhou Wu was undecided, knowing his hardships, Lao Niu is also a person in temperament, he has worked and fought with Zhou Wu for so many years, how could he not know what Zhou Wu was entangled in at this moment He walked over, patted Zhou Wu's shoulder gently, and said to him: "Lao Zhou, this matter is up to you to decide, you really can't make a decision, then hold a meeting and listen to the opinions of comrades."
When Zhou Wu heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement, and soon all the cadres above the battalion commander level of the independent brigade rushed to the brigade headquarters, and the political commissar Niu told everyone about the spirit of the instructions and the principles of handling the devil war criminals, and let the cadres discuss and discuss.
As soon as Commissar Niu's words fell, the fat man was the first to stand up and speak: "Brothers, we finally rushed to Yancheng to snatch these little devil war criminals in the hands of the Kuomintang recalcitrant army, but now the superiors have asked us to let go of most of the devil war criminals.
The fat man's opinion was supported by Huang Shuisheng and some other battalion commanders, most of these brothers were former officers who had been following Zhou Wu, had experienced the defense of Shanghai and Nanjing, and had witnessed the atrocities of the little devils in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places, and resolutely supported the fat man's attitude, believing that those devil war criminals among them could not be let go, and all of them should be severely punished But Ge Sanmin and Xiao Zheng were silent, and the fat man looked at it, and hurriedly shouted to Ge Sanmin: "Ge Sanmin, why can't you forget it, how can we let those little devils go" Ge Sanmin looked at the fat man, and then at Zhou Wu, and felt that this issue was not good to express his position, so he still shut up and remained silent, and saw what Zhou Wu meant, so Ge Sanmin said to the fat man: "Lao Liu, let's listen to what the brigade says, I listen to the brigade." ” The fat man and they all looked at Zhou Wu, and Zhou Wu said to everyone: "Brothers, since everyone has different opinions, then let's have a show of hands to vote, the minority obeys the majority, what do you think?"
"Okay, that's it, if everyone thinks that the orders of the superiors should be carried out, I reserve my opinion, but I will definitely carry out the orders."
The fat man was confident that his opinion still accounted for the majority in the independent brigade, so he confidently agreed.
But what happened next surprised the fat man, the comrades who supported and opposed the fat man's opinion of punishing all the devil war criminals were just half, no more, no less, half a pound and eight taels, and then the fat man scratched his head, and the votes on both sides were the same, how to get this Later, after taking a closer look, he found that Zhou Wu did not vote, and Lao Niu looked at Zhou Wu and said to him: "Old Zhou, it's up to you now." ” Zhou Wu's head suddenly became a lot bigger, it was originally his own decision to his subordinates, so he asked his officers to vote and discuss, but now he still made a half-to-half, and in the end he still had to make his own decision, this joke can be a big joke, but he must make this decision, and others can't replace it.
Zhou Wu said to everyone: "Everyone, wait for a while, let me think about it again" The fat man saw that the current situation could only be reversed by Zhou Wu, and the situation stood up and shouted to him: "You have to avenge your sister-in-law and them."
Lao Niu hurriedly stood up and scolded the fat man: "Lao Liu, don't speak, none of you should speak, don't interfere with the brigade commander's decision" There was silence in the brigade headquarters, so quiet that even the "buzzing" sound of those flies flying over was so clear, the fat man couldn't control his inner emotions, suddenly jumped up, slammed a fly flying on the table to death, and scolded fiercely: "Damn it, shoot you to death" Zhou Wu's contemplation was awakened by the fat man's slap, and he slowly stood up and said to his brothers: "Brothers, I decided to follow the orders of my superiors."
The fat man's face immediately darkened, and he wanted to stand up and scold to vent his emotions, but when he saw Zhou Wu's eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head and shut up, the fat man thought to himself: "Anyway, you Zhou Wu doesn't even want to take revenge on your own blood and family feud, and I want my old Liu to shout a few words alone to have a fart, hey, the brigade seat has changed, and it has become submissive, or it was good at that time before, when this kind of thing happens, maybe the entire independent brigade will be pulled out and chopped up those devils, now it's good, this rule, That discipline, it's still hard to live, it's really boring."
Zhou Wu looked at the officers under him, and said to Lao Niu's political commissar: "Political commissar, I have a request, I don't know if my superiors can agree."
Lao Niu saw that Zhou Wu had made concessions on the issue of principle, and felt that it should be convenient in the details, so he hurriedly nodded and said: "Old Zhou, you said, as long as it does not violate the principle, I don't think there is any need to ask the master to ask them." ” "Okay, my request is to put forward a few of the most heinous devils among these devils and war criminals, and execute them with my own hands, and I want to execute them in front of my family's small cemetery on the outskirts of Nanjing, political commissar, can I do this request" Zhou Wu stared at Lao Niu with his eyes firmly and said.
Lao Niu's body shook slightly, but it quickly returned to its original state, he knew that Zhou Wu made this request in order to personally comfort his relatives who died under the Japanese devil bomb, but this practice is obviously against the consistent practice of the New Fourth Army, this practice is similar to the bandit mountain king and the like, but Lao Niu political commissar thought about it carefully, and felt that since Zhou Wu had made concessions on the principle of executing devil war criminals, he should be treated in special circumstances and allow his request, If Zhou Wu really stubbornly messed up, with his current power, he could execute those captured devil war criminals on the spot without having a meeting to discuss, so be it.
Lao Niu nodded: "Okay, Lao Zhou, your request is reasonable, that's it, I agree, what about the opinions of other comrades" Lao Niu looked at the other brothers, in fact, this result is already clear, since the political commissar has agreed, you let Ge Sanmin and Huang Shuisheng and Xiao Zheng and their old subordinates of Zhou Wu oppose it, it is simply impossible.
As soon as the fat man heard Zhou Wu's suggestion to personally escort a few devil war criminals to the outskirts of Nanjing for execution, his depressed mood immediately came up, and he grinned and said: "I agree with this suggestion of the brigade, yes, yes, let these little devils kneel in front of their sister-in-law's cemetery to accept punishment, let those little devils see, and we will pay the price for bullying."
Zhou Wu's proposal was unanimously passed, and after the meeting was dismissed, Lao Niu said to Zhou Wu: "Lao Zhou, this situation of you going to Nanjing, I think it is better not to report to the division commander, it should be done in secret, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and do not act in the name of the New Fourth Army, Lao Zhou, I support you, but for the sake of safety, I think it is better to keep a low profile, which is good for you and me and the independent brigade, you see."
When Zhou Wu heard this, he nodded again and again, he understood that Lao Niu was able to agree to his request to go to Nanjing to execute the devil war criminals, and he had already taken on a lot of responsibility, knowing his difficulties as the political commissar of the Independent Brigade, and thought that he could stab the enemy and comfort his relatives anyway, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "Lao Niu, you are right, I promise to do this, and I will never cause trouble to you and my comrades, thank you for understanding my mood at the moment, thank you for letting me slash the enemy and avenge the shame of my relatives."
Lao Niu patted Zhou Wu's shoulder: "Lao Zhou, don't say anything, brother, I will always support you behind your back, hurry up and do this thing, here I will bear it for you, in case something happens, I will take responsibility with you" t1706231537:
