The Japanese invaders around Pingcheng have not been resolved yet, and the division headquarters ordered Zhao Zhiguo and his regiment to make all battle preparations. Zhao Zhiguo did not want this incident to affect the morale of the troops.

In fact, after so long, many people no longer care about what Zhu Hongsi has done before. In their subconscious, they have regarded Zhu Hongsi as a very reliable comrade-in-arms.

But Zhao Zhiguo could not care less about Zhu Hongsi's former identity. Even if Zhu Hongsi was not a red officer, as a regiment leader, he could not act on impulse and must always be aware of the potential threats to his troops.

Originally, he wanted to learn about Zhu Hongsi's past through Niu Feiyuan's investigation team, but the timing of Niu Feiyuan's action did not meet Zhao Zhiguo's psychological expectations.

"Captain Zhao!" Niu Feiyuan was quite polite when he saw Zhao Zhiguo coming.

After all, Niu Feiyuan also noticed the combat effectiveness shown by Zhao Zhiguo and his group in the past two days. When faced with real strength, people like Niu Feiyuan are still wary.

"I heard you found a problem? I'll come over and take a look!"

"Captain Zhao is really well-informed. We have indeed found out some problems, but we still need to continue to interrogate the specific situation. I won't bother Commander Zhao to worry about the matters of our Special Investigation Section's investigation team."

Of course Niu Feiyuan knew what Zhao Zhiguo was here for. Once an officer in Zhao Zhiguo's regiment was determined to be a red personnel, the regiment would definitely be subject to extensive scrutiny.

And if anything is really found out, Niu Feiyuan has made great contributions to the Central Army, and he can be transferred away from the front line and stay away from this damn battle.

"Team Leader Niu, our unit still has combat missions. Platoon Leader Zhu is a very important officer in our regiment. He is also needed to lead the soldiers in charge. You have also seen how many casualties our regiment has suffered in these two days of fighting. You guys

I am also an officer, and I also know how much impact the lack of officers on the soldiers has on the army." Zhao Zhiguo said calmly.

"Captain Zhao, I am also helping our troops. If Zhu Hongsi honestly explains his past affairs, we will definitely not embarrass him. But if Zhu Hongsi is really a red man and lurks in our troops, it will definitely affect him.

To our troops, as long as we find them out, we can ensure a purer combat effectiveness of our troops!"

When Zhao Zhiguo heard Niu Feiyuan's remarks, he really wanted to kick his ass. What kind of bullshit theory is this? It's all nonsense. Don't I understand the combat effectiveness of our regiment? How dare you, a person who doesn't even dare to fire a gun, bring this up here?

With pure fighting power, do you think Huskies need a more pure breed to break up the family?

But Zhao Zhiguo couldn't say what was in his heart in front of Niu Feiyuan. If he did, he would hurt Zhu Hongsi even more.

Zhao Zhiguo agreed with Niu Feiyuan: "The truth is this. However, in the first Pingcheng defense battle, our entire regiment only had more than a hundred people left. We needed officers but no officers, and we needed soldiers but no soldiers. I am still the platoon leader."

Pulled out of the short ones, I really can’t pick an officer to fill the spot.”

"Captain Zhao, I know you are very good at leading troops in war, but how can you be so embarrassed by being a platoon leader?" Niu Feiyuan naturally did not believe Zhao Zhiguo's words.

"Of course this can't help me. Team Leader Niu is also an officer, so he has naturally learned how to lead troops in battles. Now more than half of our regiment's troops have suffered casualties. We will continue to replenish our troops. I have already reported to our division commander Chu and your direct commander.

If necessary, you will be directly added to the combat company."

Of course, Zhao Zhiguo never made a report. Such an officer with no combat experience would only shrink back on the battlefield. He might as well be a veteran leading the troops in a charge. Zhao Zhiguo was not willing to give an officer like Niu Feiyuan to him.

.

But Niu Feiyuan frowned as soon as he heard Zhao Zhiguo's words. He was very clear about his ability to lead troops in war. Even if he said he was just talking on paper, he thought highly of him. Moreover, he had seen the casualties on the battlefield in the past two days.

, one of the two people may not be able to survive, and if he is asked to lead the troops in a charge, isn't that asking him to die?

"This... Captain Zhao... actually... there is no room for relaxation in this matter. As long as Zhu Hongsi tells the truth about the past and has nothing to do with red personnel, I can release him now." Niu Feiyuan didn't want to.

On the battlefield, Zhao Zhiguo was immediately reminded tactfully.

"Okay, how about I go and persuade him? As long as he is willing to say it, no matter what he says, Team Leader Niu is doing his business and I will never protect him." Zhao Zhiguo also looked upright and awe-inspiring.

"Captain Zhao, you'd better give me some advice. I'm waiting for your good news."

Zhu Hongsi had already been tied up by the members of the investigation team. If Zhao Zhiguo had arrived half an hour later, Niu Feiyuan would have sent him to Pingcheng.

Zhao Zhiguo untied the rope from Zhu Hongsi and kept it aside. Zhu Hongsi did not expect that Zhao Zhiguo would come so soon.

After untying the rope, Zhao Zhiguo sat on the ground and looked at Zhu Hongsi! Zhu Hongsi felt guilty and did not dare to look into Zhao Zhiguo's eyes.

"I can't take you away!" Zhao Zhiguo said slowly, "The investigation team is sent from above and has absolute power over the people they suspect, including me."

Even though Niu Feiyuan and Xiao Gaoyi were just lieutenants, they exercised very great power. If they were sure that Zhao Zhiguo was a red officer, they could even arrest him directly.

Zhu Hongsi didn't speak, he didn't know how to speak.

"I told you that you are too honest. Whenever I find any files about you in Pingcheng Prison, won't you make them up and tell them?"

When Zhao Zhiguo saw Zhu Hongsi looking bored, he stood up anxiously and stamped his feet.

"Captain, I'm sorry for you!" Zhu Hongsi lowered his head, "I asked you to worry about me."

"Nonsense! Is this my own business? If you knew, the people in the investigation team are just bookworms. Even if you are innocent, as long as you are suspected by them, they will keep watching you, and you will be fine in the end.

It’s become troublesome.”

"Captain, can I explain this matter to you later?" Zhu Hongsi said.

"Hey~" Zhao Zhiguo let out a long sigh, "No matter whether you explain it clearly or not this time, Niu Feiyuan will definitely keep an eye on you in the future. If anything happens, he will definitely ask you for questioning. I can only guarantee that

You can't protect your life for a while, not to mention that we are now at a critical juncture when the Central Army and the Shanxi-Sui Army cooperate to fight against Japan. When the Central Army gives an order, even the commander-in-chief must obey their orders."
