District 9

On the light rail train bound for Jiangzhou, Qin Yu was sitting in the carriage dedicated to the brigade commander, sending messages to Lin Nianlei.

At the door of the carriage, Ou Xiaobin, wearing a military uniform, whispered to the guard: "The brigade commander asked me to come over."

"Come in, Captain Ou." After the guard saluted, he stepped aside to open the main door and let Ou Xiaobin into the carriage.

In the long and narrow carriage, Qin Yu looked up at Ou Xiaobin, smiled and waved, "Sit down!"

Ou Xiaobin took off his military cap and sat opposite Qin Yu with a calm expression: "Haha, brigade commander, why did you call me here?"

"Yes." Qin Yu nodded: "Li Zhan and I have studied it. This time we move to the capital, we are going to let you and Daya's regiment take the main attack, firing in one direction from the south and one from the north."

When Ou Xiaobin heard this, he was slightly startled.

"The situation in Chongdu is different from that of Yuanshan and Nanmu. Their self-defense forces are said to have more than 10,000 people, and the defensive fortifications are relatively strong. If you fight hard, there will definitely be battle damage. You have to be mentally prepared for this. "

Ou Xiaobin looked at Qin Yu, stood up and responded: "My 115th Regiment promises to complete this mission, either the capital city will be defeated, or we will fight to the last man."

Qin Yu looked at his expression, smiled and waved his hand: "There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so formal. You sit down, you sit down."

Ou Xiaobin heard the sound and sat down again.

"Xiao Bin, you've been here at Huncheng Brigade for a long time. How do you feel?" Qin Yu reached out and handed him a cigarette.

When Ou Xiaobin heard this, he scratched his head unnaturally: "What's wrong, brigade commander, why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Let's chat casually!" Qin Yu replied.

"It's nice for me to be here, and you're nice to me too." Ou Xiaobin took the cigarette and responded after a pause.

"Snapped!"

Qin Yu personally took the lighter and lit it in front of Ou Xiaobin, still smiling and asked: "Are you telling the truth...?"

Ou Xiaobin held a cigarette between his arms and his eyes became a little worried: "Brigade... Brigadier, I didn't quite understand what you said."

"Smoke, smoke." Qin Yu greeted with a lighter.

Ou Xiaobin turned his head and lit the cigarette with Qin Yu's lighter.

"After Tan Zhongshu's 27th Division rebelled, Commander Gu once said something." Qin Yu looked at Ou Xiaobin with a relaxed posture, and said as if he was chatting at home: "He said that war is the most test of human nature, because it concerns the lives of many people. Life and death. In the face of life and death, it is human nature to make another choice."

When Ou Xiaobin heard this, his face instantly turned pale.

"Xiao Bin, our mixed brigade has grown rapidly in recent years. In order to seek development and gain a foothold in Sichuan, we have annexed many family-style private armed forces." Qin Yu said with a slight frown: "This has caused , within the Huncheng Brigade, the family power is relatively strong, and the Ruan family, Wang family, Xu family, and Qi family all have their own place. Normally, this situation will not affect anyone, but once an internal conflict occurs, then Officers without family influence may suffer a little loss."

When Ou Xiaobin heard this, his palm holding the cigarette started to tremble.

"You and Wang Tianhui had a conflict before. He punched you and I saw it." Qin Yu looked at Ou Xiaobin and asked, "Tell me the truth. Are you not convinced?"

"No...no." Ou Xiaobin shook his head.

"I want to hear the truth." Qin Yu stepped in, looked at him, and repeated again.

Ou Xiaobin was silent for a long time, then immediately threw away the cigarette, stood up suddenly and said: "Brigadier, I, I was wrong, you...!"

"Snapped!"

Qin Yu stood up, put his right hand on Ou Xiaobin's shoulder, and said with a faint smile: "Xiaobin, it's me who should say I'm sorry."

Ou Xiaobin was stunned.

"If you, a group of practical senior officers, are to feel unfair within the mixed brigade, it must be a mistake in my work." Qin Yu said with a serious face: "There was too much external pressure before, and I really didn't have the energy to do it. Adjust the internal structure. After this matter in the capital comes to light, I will take some actions so that you, the practical officers, will no longer feel that you have no sense of belonging."

Ou Xiaobin looked at Qin Yu and didn't know how to reply for a moment.

"On the northwest line, in Sichuan, and in the Eighth District, we fought side by side. Over the past few years, we fought more than a dozen battles, large and small. Whenever there were difficulties, I sat in the headquarters of the mixed brigade. , when I looked up and saw you, I immediately felt reassured. Why is this? Because I know that everyone on every chair around the conference table will follow me to the end." Qin Yu pressed Ou Xiaobin's shoulder and said, He paused and said, "I will not let this friendship go down, and neither will you, right?"

Listening to Qin Yu's words, Ou Xiaobin instinctively recalled all the past events.

Campaigned in the northwest, stationed in Sichuan, and followed the dragon in the eighth district.

He and Huncheng Brigade have experienced too many things together and have too many profound memories.

Ou Xiaobin looked at Qin Yu with red eyes, feeling grateful in his heart: "...Brother Yu, you...you are the most exquisite person I have ever met. I owe you my life for what happened in the past. I swear to God, as long as we Your troops are still there, and I will always be your commander."

Qin Yu released his hand on Ou Xiaobin's shoulder and nodded with a smile: "Go back to your carriage and take good care of your soldiers. This is a tough battle."

"yes!"

Ou Xiaobin stood at attention and saluted.

…

That's right, the person that Chief Huang wanted to instigate rebellion was Ou Xiaobin, and he had already sent someone to make first contact with him. Judging from the reports made by Chief Huang later, Ou Xiaobin did not refuse at that time. He even wavered and may have wanted to lead his troops to leave the mixed brigade.

But after Qin Yu found out about this, he did not choose to yell at Ou Xiaobin.

The mixed brigade has relatively large internal family forces and complex factions. Although Qin Yu is currently in good control, these forces cannot be avoided and may inadvertently conflict with those officers who have no factions.

Once a conflict breaks out, those officers who do not have family support behind them will definitely be at a disadvantage.

Is this fair?

It's certainly not fair. From Ou Xiaobin's point of view, I am a dignified officer who graduated from the Army. He has repeatedly made military exploits within the mixed brigade, and has served as a very important military offensive task several times. At the end of his career, he was punched by Wang Tianhui in front of all the officers. Can he be convinced?

Ou Xiaobin is not the kind of veteran officer in his thirties or forties. He is as big as a big tooth, and he is in his youthful and vigorous years. It is perfectly normal for someone to act impulsively and act excessively.

Qin Yu knew this very well, because he had also grown up at this age. I still remember that when he chose to harden the party and government in the ninth district, wasn't it just for the sake of fairness?

Because Chief Huang took the initiative to instigate rebellion, it would be too small a pattern to shoot an officer who had experienced military exploits for him and had a certain future.

Qin Yu sat on the chair, reached out and threw Ou Xiaobin's rebellion materials to Cha Meng that Ma Laoer had handed over to him, and said calmly: "Burn it."

"Well, after this, Xiao Binbin has completely sold the rest of his life to you." Cha Meng sighed.

Qin Yu took a sip of tea: "After the matter in Chongdu is settled, we have to take a rest. I have to take the time to tidy up the interior."

…

Just as the three regiments of the mixed brigade quietly returned to Sichuan, a massacre suddenly began in Chongdu.
