Captain Zhuang was in a particularly good mood today. He switched on the phonograph his precious daughter bought from Shanghai and listened to the play. As he sat on the rattan chair and swayed, he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
He had a report in his desk drawer and was waiting for today's results.
Wu Anguo, that disobedient kid, must have been sent to heaven by now. Even if he had a fatal injury, after running back, his underlings were already pretty much dead.
That report would let him die very clearly. He would rob military assets that passed by and destroy Shanxi's military alliance and camaraderie.
Squadron Leader Liu had always been a conservative person and had always avoided the arrogant Commander Yan. This time, his side was the one who was in the wrong for robbing the military. It was likely that Squadron Leader Liu would not stand up for the sake of a Battalion Commander.
The phonograph showed Beijing Opera's "The Air City Strategy"... I am neither ambushed nor armed, so don't let your imagination run wild. Come, come, come, come to the city to listen to me play the zither …
"Reporting Team, Battalion Commander Wu requests an audience!" The guard's announcement interrupted the cannon, which was listening to the play.
However, he was not the least bit displeased. He stood up happily. Is he really coming now? He was going to greet them, put on his clothes, and open the door to exit. His expression had changed from a pleasant expression to one of seriousness.
As expected, when he saw Wu Anguo coming over alone with a face full of blood and tattered clothes, the captain personally went out to welcome him. He held Wu Anguo with both hands as if he was very concerned about his subordinates.
"What's the matter, An Guo?" Zhuang Yao asked worriedly.
Wu Anguo thought of his brothers who had died, his eyes turning red. He saluted the captain without saying a word, but choked with sobs.
Indeed, it was just as Shiqing had said. When the Guild Leader saw him like this, he heard him say that many of his brothers had died. He didn't try to comfort them and instead began to curse them for being reckless and brainless!
"An Guo, you said you're someone I personally groomed, how can you be so foolish! He even dared to have the idea of plotting against Commander Yan's army? You are going against the heavens! " Zhuang Niao cursed angrily, as if he didn't know about this beforehand.
Wu Anguo originally had some illusions about sitting in the group. After all, he was his first boss. But now, it was as Shiqing had expected, even his expression wasn't bad.
"Team member, didn't you give the order to intercept this batch of military assets?" Wu Anguo asked with an expression of disbelief.
"Bastard, why would I give such an order? Not mentioning that it's the military power of the Yan City Commander, just with the enemy's military strength, how could I let you go with a single battalion? Someone bring Xi Bian and Li Jiu over! " Zhuang Niao's face was filled with rage as he paced back and forth. He was so angry that he knocked down a porcelain cup on the table. Listening to him, the soldiers outside were trembling with fear.
Very quickly, the First and Third Battalion Commanders arrived. Both of them wore brand-new military uniforms and came over with smiles on their faces. As soon as they entered, they saluted and reported on their work.
"Reporting to the captain, the internal drill of the 1st battalion is complete. Everything is normal." The First Battalion Commander Yang Xi Bian had a serious look on his face, not even sparing Wu An Guo a glance.
Third Battalion Commander Li Jiu repeated the same thing.
Zhuang Gun nodded in satisfaction, then turned around to look at Wu Anguo and said coldly, "Little Wu, today is the day of our training for the various battalions. I didn't expect that you would use the exercise as an excuse to kidnap someone else's military resources, which is a grave breach of discipline. You disappoint me too much, I will report this to my superior.
Wu Anguo still wanted to speak. "But …"
Captain Zhuang waved his hand and interrupted him, "But no, your mistake was too serious. Go back and await punishment."
One of the Battalion Commanders Yang Xi also jeered: "Brother An Guo, how could you be so reckless? Is Commander Yan's military capital really that good? You actually thought of using the exercise as an excuse to snatch the military assets. You must be lucky to think of that. Right now, you are losing both your husband and your soldiers …"
This had been a scheme, a ploy to gain fame. It was a matter of minutes for a captain to take care of his men, but he had also taken the trouble to make a full circle and set a trap for Wu Anguo. On the one hand, he was proud of his reputation, and on the other hand, he was a little apprehensive about the relationship between Wu Anguo's wife and his teacher's wife.
Even though he had sent his wife and daughter out last time, those two idiots didn't usually lose money. They were waiting anxiously for that girl from the countryside to lose the money … However, from the looks of it, he was not familiar with her beforehand and did not have any special relationships with her. She was just a country girl who did not understand how to move forward or retreat.
When Wu Anguo saw their dignified faces, he was thoroughly disappointed and couldn't help but sneer.
Yes, if not for the presence of the division's guard, Wu Anguo might have been decapitated by now.
At that time, their Battalion was already clearly in a vulnerable position, seriously lacking firearms and ammunition, and was in a situation of being beaten passively. At that time, Wu Anguo was extremely regretful in his heart, if he could do it again, even if he had to go against the orders, he would not have let his brothers go.
He had been with his brothers for so long, and finally established the camp with great difficulty. Finally, everyone had a bit of wealth, and they just disappeared like that. He was not willing to accept this. Even though he knew that Team Seat was just digging a hole for him to jump in, he was still daydreaming.
Yes, at that moment, Wu Anguo silently said to himself in his heart that if he could make it back alive, he would change his current situation. He would break free from control, he would strengthen his army, and he would no longer be at the mercy of others.
When Xu Bao and his wife's car arrived at the scene, the captain and his wife didn't mind if they shot their guns in front of them. The army often conducted exercises, and since this was their territory, no one dared to do anything about it.
Xu Bao happily got off the car. She was looking at her husband's figure. Grandmother, she wanted to ask him if he gave her some food to eat in the morning. Why was she so uneasy all day? Her face was burning.
"Thank you, Big Sis Qiu. Wait for me, I'll be right back!" Xu Bao jumped out of the car.
After that, she also became narrow-minded, afraid that her husband would scold her for not being sensible and bring all the soldiers in the division with her. Thinking about how there would be too many people and how her husband would give her face, she felt too embarrassed to talk about herself in front of everyone.
A few years later, the most popular singing girl in Shanghai, Yuan Mingyu, put her legs together and put her enchanting qipao around her body, almost coiling herself around Wu Anguo. The soft flesh was close to her body and the hair on her head was worn out, but the image that surfaced in his mind was of the girl in his most desperate moment.
"Nonsense!" "Why are you here?" Wu Anguo was surprised and happy at the same time. He fiercely hugged Xu Bao and hastily pushed her away.
Xu Bao saw that his big brother was so fierce and had not seen him marry for a long time, so his eyes immediately filled with tears.
Looking at the fierce expression on his big brother's face, he said with a wronged expression, "I miss you big brother."
Song Yi Han was very excited to see Xu Bao at such a time, only to see her throw herself into his Battalion Commander's embrace, and he turned his head with great difficulty.
They did not have any external help, and the people who came were all armed soldiers, looking even fiercer than the group that just beat him up. Looking at his appearance, since he was in someone else's territory, since he could not beat them, it was not worth it to throw his life away, so he might as well go back and report it to the governor.
At this time, the army of Shanxi was under the command of the warlords, and there were factions of all sorts that were using the name of revolution to develop their forces. Everyone came out to fight for money.
The escorts had wanted to kill Wu Anguo's group just now, so they could receive rewards when they got back, and bullying the weak was the nature of these people. Now that they saw that some help had arrived, and it wasn't just one or two people, but even the car, with its insignia, they could tell that it was someone at the level of a teacher.
Wu Anguo didn't know what to do, but when the other party was so arrogant as to want to destroy them, they quickly retreated … It wasn't that they couldn't beat the team of guards, but if they had already alerted the division commander, then the battle shouldn't be fought.
Xu Bao saw that his big brother was still angry at him for disturbing his work, so he rolled his eyes and tried to divert his attention, "Big brother, quickly look, there are four big black pipes in front, and there are still a lot of people racing!"
When Wu Anguo heard her words, he turned his head to look. That's right, the group of people who had been aggressively trying to exterminate him had now formed a team in a hurry. They had retreated, leaving behind all of their military assets and those four cannons …
For a moment, his face was filled with astonishment! What was going on?
Second Company Commander Zhang Shiqing, seeing the situation, laughed, "Brother, sister-in-law is our lucky star!"
Xu Bao saw that they were happily laughing, but he didn't know why. Could it be that they were laughing at him? However, her husband had seen it too, and it was nothing serious. It was just that his body was very dirty, and his face was also dirty.
She happily went back to the car and continued chatting with the teachers and wives. "Big Sis Qiu's jaw is full. My father said, 'Enjoy the Feng and the Xing Family!'"
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing that Xu Bao had also dropped his school bag, Qiu Lingzhu forgot to ask how her husband was and was concerned about his chin. After all, it was more important to have a long face. Furthermore, the aesthetic beauty of this era had already started becoming more and more urbanized, and was popular among women with sharp chins. Qiu Zhu might be the wife of a teacher, but no matter how distinguished she was, she had to guard against fox spirits. She had always felt dissatisfied with her round chin and looked fat.
"Thank you for your blessings, Senior. Big Sis Qiu looks like a good lady who has helped her husband. Furthermore, Big Sis Qiu is bright, generous, and gentle. She's practically a good wife helping him …" Xu Bao seriously looked at his wife's fat chin as he spoke, his eyes unblinking.
Qiu Lingzhu was overjoyed to hear this. So her husband was so obedient because of her. With a happy smile, she threw the question of whether he was practicing or not to the back of her mind.
Wu Anguo retracted his dejected expression and resigned himself to his fate, "Since you didn't give the order to intercept the military, then let me do the exercise this time. Whether it's death or injury, I, Wu Anguo, am willing to take responsibility."
These words fell right into the hands of Zhuang Niao, he was willing to take responsibility himself. If they didn't involve him, then it would be easy, and the report would be even better.
As he watched Wu Anguo's back, Zhuang Niao happily continued to sing … You come, come, come, come to the city, listen to my fiddle...
On the other hand, ass-kissing Li Jiu made a mental note, "Captain, if he really does receive military assets, then we won't be able to split it."
Without waiting for the captain to speak, Yang Xi cursed, "What do you know? The other side still has cannons. Both battalions are of the Saber Battalions, so they didn't even send a message from Little Six. Look at Wu Anguo's destitute appearance, he's probably already dead.
Li Jiu was furious. We are both Battalion Commanders, why are you teaching me a lesson? Isn't it just your brother-in-law? He is just pretending to be powerful, but on the surface he is calling me 'yes'. I am overthinking things …
