Chapter 72 Comrade, the Chief Wants to See You
After Xu Qing yelled these words, there was silence in the forest in front of him. An Pengcheng stayed where he was and didn't dare to move. He couldn't understand what Xu Qing said, but he also felt nervous.

Xu Qing didn't hear the answer, but the sense of crisis that the gun was pointing at him was gradually dispelled.

Obviously, the opponent has put down his gun.

Xu Qing then shouted again: "I came from the 38th Army station and was ordered to escort the confidential documents and materials to Zhisi!"

As he called out the word "Zhisi", there was movement on the mountain soon, there was a clatter of branches and snow, and Xu Qing and An Pengcheng saw the bare faces on both sides. Several "snowmen" stood up on the mountain, holding a gun at them one after another.

A warrior in white cloth shouted from afar:
"You are not allowed to come and go here casually, who are you?"

These soldiers were obviously secret sentries guarding various places, and Xu Qing immediately saw several figures appearing on the higher mountain, all of them holding Burbosa submachine guns.But there is not so much camouflage, and about 20 heavily armed soldiers on both sides are all staring at them.

Xu Qing laughed, and replied: "I am from the 38th Interlude Company of the [-]st Regiment of the Ninth Army Regiment. I was ordered by Commander Zhu of the [-]th Regiment of the [-]th Army to send the corresponding information. This is the relevant letter of introduction, comrade, Please check!"

"You wait."

A soldier carefully slid down the mountain path and took the letter.

He was illiterate, so he sent it back and showed it to the people behind him.

The letter of introduction has his name, background, history and corresponding signature and seal on it, and there is also a mark to distinguish the authenticity, so as to prevent spies or enemies from mixing in.

The literate soldier read the letter twice, and then several people communicated with each other. Some soldiers asked, but the tone was much gentler:

"Who is this man you tied up?"

"This is the southern spy I caught nearby. They have important information on them. I suspected that they were plotting something wrong, so I caught them together."

Then they asked a few simple questions, mainly about the American military uniform that Xu Qing took off, and the situation of the spy in his hand.

The other fighters also searched around, and after making sure that there was nothing else, they all heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

A few soldiers covered in white towels and wearing snow camouflage felt relieved. They came down from the mountain path one after another, stood still in front of him, looked at him carefully, and saluted him:

"Comrade Wu Wanli? Hello! I offended you just now."

"it's me."

Xu Qing quickly laughed, waved his hands and said, "Nothing, this is your duty. You are protecting the safety of the chiefs, I understand very well."

"Then, leave this spy to us?"

"Okay, but watch them carefully, they have been specially trained."

"Okay, Comrade Wu Wanli, did your letter say you want to see the chief? Please follow me."

"it is good."

Xu Qing gave the soldier in front of him the rope that was holding secret agent An Pengcheng, and then followed them up the mountain.

An Pengcheng was a little panicked. He didn't know why the US military officer in his eyes suddenly peeled off and became a member of these Chinese natives.

But he didn't dare to move around, and the muzzles of each gun were aimed at him tightly. He could only be followed obediently by the soldiers covered with black cloth.

Soon, under their leadership, Xu Qing went through several bends and turned a few small roads between the rather complicated mountains, and finally came to a hidden ravine.

The ravine was surrounded by mountains, and there were some deserted mines on the hillsides on both sides. Xu Qing saw it was pitch black at a glance, and there were some guards and soldiers on duty standing hidden under the surrounding stones and at the mouth of the ravine.

Below the ravine, there are several rows of scattered dilapidated sheds and small houses, all of which are made of wooden boards. Each one is not large in size, covering an area of ​​more than 50 square meters.

The soldier took Xu Qing to a work shed, communicated with the guard at the door, then turned around and said:

"Comrade! Please also temporarily unload your firearms and ammunition."

"it is good."

Xu Qing cooperated with all his strength, handed him the gun in his hand, and then put down the large amount of grenade ammunition on his back, as well as a super bazooka.

The guard standing guard in front of the shed was also quite surprised when he saw the American-style firepower equipment enough to equip a squad, not knowing what the man in front of him was doing.

"...Anything else?"

"Gone."

Xu Qing pulled out the last bayonet on his body and handed it to him.

"Well, please wait a moment."

The soldier babbled to himself, one of them didn't pick him up, so he had to call another guard to carry him to the side room, then knocked on the door and went in to report.

Xu Qing was standing outside, looking at the surrounding situation, quite sighing.

The few scattered work sheds near and far are shabby and ugly. I am afraid it is hard for Americans to imagine that the headquarters that command and decide the mobilization of hundreds of thousands of Chinese volunteers is hidden in such a small dilapidated ravine.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, the wooden door of the shed opened, and the soldier came out following two middle-aged officers in military coats.

"Chief, it's him..."

"Hello, Chief!"

Xu Qing immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"You are Wu Wanli?"

The leading middle-aged chief let out a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Qing in surprise.

Seeing that he didn't recognize him, the soldier next to him said, "Comrade, this is our Commander Hong."

Xu Qing's heart trembled.

Commander, surnamed Hong, who else could it be?

That is our Deputy Commander Hong!
He was an important leader who assisted General Peng in commanding the volunteer army to enter North Korea, and participated in leading the first to fifth battles.

Xu Qing immediately replied loudly: "Yes, Chief! I am Wu Wanli!"

"Weiguo, the commander is Boss Peng, you can't talk nonsense!" Deputy Commander Hong immediately explained, "I mainly do ideological and political work in the army, either in construction or logistics, how can I call it that?" What commander?"

The soldier looked embarrassed: "Yes! Chief... I violated discipline, and I am willing to be punished!"

"Okay, okay, these are trivial things, come on, Comrade Wanli, I've heard your name for the past two days, and I can recognize the cocoon..."

Deputy Commander Hong was quite happy and obviously wanted to say something, but he restrained himself after looking around and patted him on the shoulder.

"Come on, come in with me."

"Yes!"

Heard my name?

Xu Qing was a little confused, so he was just a nobody.

However, he didn't hesitate too much, and immediately followed the chief's instructions and entered the wooden house.

Unexpectedly, Deputy Commander Hong stopped suddenly, turned around and looked at him: "Where's your cotton padded coat, why are you wearing such a thin garment?"

Xu Qing replied: "Report to the chief! The military uniform I sent to the army has been completely damaged. Later, I mainly wore clothes ripped off from Americans, which happened to be suitable for camouflage."

"Where are the clothes? Song Weiguo, get them for him and put them on, it's such a cold day!"

"Yes!" The soldier called Song Weiguo immediately went to the nearby place to get his cloak and military uniform.

"Chief, it's inappropriate to wear American clothes here..."

Deputy Commander Hong waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll just say hello to everyone later, hey - we really don't have many cotton clothes here."

Xu Qing took the military uniform handed over by Song Weiguo, put it on, and followed Deputy Commander Hong into the work shed.

"Come on, sit down."

"Chief, sit down!"

Xu Qing was a little cautious, and he felt a rare gaffe in his heart. This is a famous figure in history in front of him!

"I told you to sit down, you beat so many Americans, how did I behave like a little lady?"

Hearing what he said, Xu Qing raised her head suddenly: "Chief, how do you know..."

Deputy Commander Hong chuckled: "You didn't make trouble yourself? Liang Xingchu, the commander of the 38th Army, specially sent a telegram asking for a commendation. At first, President Peng thought he lied about the military situation again, and almost killed him! Unexpectedly, yesterday A lot of the news is full of news about you, so let's just let it go..."

Xu Qing listened, and then understood.

It turned out that he did these things quietly, and it had been spread along with the soldiers who escaped from the mountain before he fought in Ye Songling.

It seems that we need to be more careful and serious about the surrounding investigation in the future!
At that time, it was true that some soldiers had sneaked down the mountain before he ambush, and never came back. He tracked them down later, but did not find anyone.

Xu Qing sorted out her thoughts and said, "Chief, I didn't think about it so much at the time, so there won't be any bad influence?"

"Hehe, put your heart into your guts and put it away! How can our soldiers be willing to blame you for their achievements in battle?" General Peng poured him a glass of boiled water while talking, put it in a porcelain jar and handed it to him. give him.

"Thank you, Chief!" Xu Qing quickly took it.

Deputy Commander Hong nodded, and then pointed to a cabin not far from the right outside the door:

"It's not a coincidence that you came here. Mr. Peng is talking with an old friend, and we have to wait a while to finish the conversation. If he knows that you, our volunteer hero, are here, he will be very happy!"

When he mentioned it, Xu Qing remembered his mission, and said quickly: "Chief, I am here this time because of the mission of Commander Zhu Yueqing of the 38th Regiment of the [-]th Army. Documents and maps. Please have a look!"

He then tore open the interlayer from his close-fitting clothes, took out the document, and handed it over.

Deputy Commander Hong flipped through the pages, and his expression was quite serious. After finally seeing the strength of the Seventh Division of the Army Infantry, he even patted the table:
"Okay, very good! Little comrade, you have done a very good job, these things are very useful!"

He looked at the clock on the wall: "Well, it's almost morning now, I'll hand over these documents to the combat staff room for sorting out, and you follow Song Weiguo first... that's the soldier just now, let's go have some breakfast together, After dinner, I'll take you to see Mr. Peng, and remember to have a good chat with us about all these things about you."

"Yes!" Xu Qing stood up and saluted.

Deputy Commander Hong got the documents and left first.

"Comrade Wanli, this way."

Xu Qing then followed Song Weiguo to a nearby work shed, where a group of soldiers were eating breakfast in shifts.

The so-called breakfast is fried noodles with some boiled water, a small dish of boiled soybeans, and a little bit of thick black steamed bun. Each soldier breaks a small piece and eats it with water.

This is already very rich.

The soldiers were quite curious when they saw this man in American military uniform eating here.

After asking Song Weiguo, he found out that he was also a volunteer soldier, so he happily surrounded him and asked curiously:

"Comrade, what part do you belong to?"

"Yeah, why haven't we seen you before?"

Xu Qing replied with a smile: "I just came here today."

"Then your clothes?"

"Picked off of the Americans."

"Is it warm?"

"It was very warm, and I had no clothes to wear, so I had to take off their clothes."

"It's a luxury in the American devils! I'll pick up one of those things later on, tell me, okay?"

"Tch, you kill an American before you talk about it!"

Xu Qing chatted with the soldiers for a while, but they all had their own responsibilities, some belonged to the engineering company, some belonged to the guard regiment, and they still had a lot of work and tasks on them.

Xu Qing saw them off, and Song Weiguo would continue to patrol.

He had no choice but to wait in the wooden shed. After waiting for more than an hour, Mr. Peng's matter was not finished.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Qing was sitting upright in the wooden shed when a guard knocked on the door and came in and said:
"Comrade, the chief said he wanted to see you."
