Chapter 414 Who is the good guy? Who is the bad guy?
Meng Fanle had already changed into ordinary people's clothes, but he was still reluctant to let go of the camouflage green clothes.
This camouflage green brought him dignity, love and honor, and he was extremely reluctant to take it off.
"Political Commissar, I don't want to take off this dress, but I really have no choice!"
"Don't worry, wait until Chief of Staff Wang comes, and then tell him! He recruited you, and he will decide whether you stay or go!"
As he spoke, Wang Meng stepped into the Sichuan Army's conference room.
"What's going on? The Tiger Regiment is training hard, and you, a battalion commander, want to leave the army? Come on, give me a reason! If this is bullshit, you have to run two five-kilometer cross-country races!"
Ever since Meng Fanle saw Wang Meng show off his skills on the training ground, his admiration and faith in him has reached its peak.
"Reporting to the Chief of Staff, my father is in Dahengshan Town! Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety cannot be achieved at the same time. If I can bring them back alive, I will wear this military uniform again!"
Wang Meng slapped his head and realized that was the case.
Dahengshan Town was indeed under the control of the Japanese, and was even further away than the village where the Dahengshan guerrillas were last time. It was directly behind the Japanese Nujiang defense line, only three miles away. The Japanese along the Nujiang River often went to Dahengshan Town to get supplies and eat and drink.
The Japanese also used Dahengshan Town as their logistics supply base, stationing about a squadron of Japanese soldiers there, plus a battalion of puppet troops to maintain local security.
I really don’t know how Mr. Meng was able to find that damn place.
"You're leaving the army just for this?"
"Yes, Chief of Staff! According to the regulations, we cannot leave the base without the order of our superiors. Moreover, I am going to the enemy-occupied area for personal matters this time, which may be even more dangerous, so..."
Wang Meng touched his face. Did he give them such a cold and heartless impression? It seems that he needs to reflect on himself!
"Meng Fan, let me ask you, what will you do after you take off your military uniform? Single-handedly, a lone hero, to rescue your parents? Do you want to be Rambo?"
"Uh, Chief of Staff, excuse me, what is Rambo?"
"Uh, don't interrupt! I just want to ask you how you plan to bring people back from the other side of the Nujiang River? Riding alone for thousands of miles?"
Meng Fanle thought he was very good at arguing with people, but after Wang Meng's attack, he really didn't know how to respond.
However, he was determined to go to the other side of the Nujiang River because the Chinese army would attack sooner or later, and Daheng Mountain would definitely be caught in the war. If his parents stayed there, they would be in great danger.
"Chief of Staff, I haven't thought about any of this yet!"
"You haven't thought it through? You made the decision without thinking it through? Which instructor taught you that? Can you tell me?"
Seeing that Meng was annoyed and kept his head down without saying anything, Wang Meng gave up and summoned all the officers at the company level and above in the regiment to hold a meeting.
When Long Wenjian saw that Wang Meng was preparing to hold a meeting to criticize Meng Fan, he hurriedly pulled the communicator who was about to go down to notify him.
"Chief of Staff, Meng Fanle is a veteran of the Sichuan Army after all, and he is also going through the formal procedures, so it shouldn't be considered desertion. We can just criticize and educate him internally, there's no need to make such a big fuss, right?"
Wang Meng ignored Long Wenjian's plea and asked the signalman to issue an order. In less than half an hour, the Sichuan Army's conference room was full.
"Everyone is here. Let our filial son Meng Fanle tell you his story and see what he thinks."
In fact, there is no need for Meng Fan to come forward to tell his story. These things have already been spread on the way here.
Seeing that Meng Fanle and the other officers were silent, Wang Meng continued:
"There is no other purpose for holding this meeting today except to criticize Comrade Meng Fanle. He is simple-minded and strong-limbed. He wants to go in and out of Dahengshan Town seven times by himself? You are dreaming!"
Wang Meng looked around and saw that everyone was lowering their heads and keeping silent.
"I'm ordering all battalions and companies to send their best troops across the Nujiang River to investigate the enemy's deployment. One battalion will be responsible for investigating Dahengshan Town. The other two infantry battalions and the reconnaissance company will be assigned tasks by Regiment Commander Long Wenjian!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he went to the weapons room and got a Type 95 rifle, four magazines, and a hundred rounds of bullets.
Meng Fanle and the officers looked at each other, and then Long Wenjian showed a happy expression and punched Meng Fan.
"Meng Quezi, what are you still standing there for? Organize the team and cross the river immediately!"
Two hours later, when the sun was shining brightly, all the members of the Laochuan Army, plus carefully selected combat backbones, gathered at one end of the suspension bridge, totaling more than 300 people.
At the bridgehead, Long Wenjian gave tasks to the Second Battalion, the Third Battalion and the reconnaissance company, asking them to find out the Japanese's firepower deployment, depth and strength of fortifications on the other side of the Nujiang River.
"It is now exactly 12 noon. Meet at the opposite bridge at 6 pm! No delay!"
The Second Battalion, the Third Battalion and the reconnaissance company quickly crossed the river and disappeared into the mountains.
Meng Fanle, with about 80 of his men, still surrounded Long Wenjian and Wang Meng.
"Thank you, Chief of Staff, Commander!"
"What are you thanking me for? This is a military operation. I have to remind you that the command of the scene is in the hands of Captain Long and I. You are the person involved, so don't get involved in the command. Do you understand?"
"Yes!"
At Wang Meng's command, the more than 80 people went up the suspension bridge again and then disappeared into the lush forest.
After crossing the Nujiang River, following the guide sent by the Dahengshan guerrillas, the troops continued to head south along the original road, passing the village they visited last time and finally arriving at Dahengshan Town.
"It's 15:10 pm now. Captain Long, Captain Meng, and I will disguise ourselves and go into Dahengshan Town. You stay here on guard and be ready to pick us up at any time!"
After Wang Meng finished speaking, he changed into ordinary people's clothes, hid a pistol in the cloth bag he carried with him, and followed the guide to the town.
The remaining soldiers immediately occupied advantageous terrain, deployed light mortars and light machine guns, and sent out guard posts all around.
When they arrived at the sentry post at the entrance of Dahengshan Town, a few puppet soldiers with cigarettes in their mouths looked at the short-haired men of Wang Meng and his two companions with sidelong glances.
One of the puppet soldiers winked at a puppet officer carrying a box gun.
"Captain, Captain, I don't think these guys are good people."
"Fuck, can you tell who is a good guy and who is a bad guy these days?"
The company commander followed the puppet soldier's gaze and saw the three short-haired guys with eye-popping hair. They really didn't look like good people, so he quickly turned his head away.
"Captain, do you want to go up and ask?"
