Li Mancang knew it was a militia patrolling at night, so he said, "Hello, comrade. I'm Li Mancang from Sandaliang Village. I have an emergency to report to the village president. Could you please let me know?"
A man walked out of the darkness and shone a flashlight towards Li Mancang.
The glaring flashlight light made it impossible for Li Mancang to open his eyes, but he did not cover them with his hands.
When he saw that it was really Li Mancang, the man put down his flashlight and said, "Captain Li? It's really you! What happened?"
When Li Mancang saw that the person coming was Zheng Hongjun, a militiaman from the commune, he said, "Hongjun, this is urgent and there's no time to explain in detail. Please take me to see President Zhao."
Seeing that Li Mancang was full of anxiety, Zheng Hongjun did not dare to delay and took him inside.
The two came to a row of bungalows, which were housing provided by the commune for cadres, similar to dormitories.
Zheng Hongjun walked to a house and saw a light inside. He went up to it and knocked on the door, saying, "Boss, Li Mancang, the captain of Sandaliang Village, is here. He said there's an emergency to report."
"Here they come!" There was a noise in the house, and a moment later, Zhao Weiguo, the president of Shengli Commune, opened the door and walked out.
"Mancang, it's so late, what's the rush?" Zhao Weiguo asked Li Mancang with a smile.
"President, it's not convenient to talk here. Can we go to your office?" Li Mancang said seriously.
Seeing Li Mancang's expression, Zhao Weiguo unconsciously put away his smile and said, "Red Army, continue patrolling! Mancang, follow me!"
"Yes!" Li Mancang and Zheng Hongjun answered.
Arriving at the office, Zhao Weiguo asked, "Tell me, what happened?"
Li Mancang reported everything that happened tonight to Zhao Weiguo.
"Boss, Jianguo said those two devils seemed to be waiting for someone. Do you think they have accomplices?"
After saying this, Li Mancang walked to the side without waiting for Zhao Weiguo to speak, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp.
After drinking the water, he walked back and sat on the stool opposite the president.
After listening to Li Mancang's report, Zhao Weiguo was stunned for a long time. He frowned and didn't know what he was thinking.
A moment later, Zhao Weiguo suddenly slammed his hand on the table and said, "Whether we have accomplices or not, we must be prepared in advance!"
Without waiting for Li Mancang to speak, he picked up the phone on the table and started contacting.
"Hello! Connect me to the County Party Committee duty room!"
"Hello, I'm Zhao Weiguo from Shengli Commune. I have an emergency report. The situation is as follows..."
"Hello! Connect me to the county armed forces department!"
"Hello, I'm Zhao Weiguo from Shengli Commune. May I ask who's on duty tonight? I have an emergency to report..."
After finishing the call, Zhao Weiguo opened the door and walked into the yard, shouting, "Red Army, call your captain to come to me immediately!"
"Yes!" Zheng Hongjun in the yard agreed.
After waiting for a while, Gong Liang, the captain of the commune militia, ran in.
"President, what's the matter? Mancang, are you here too?" Gong Liang asked.
Li Mancang nodded at him without saying anything.
"In case of emergency, let the militia gather and stand by!" Zhao Weiguo said with a serious expression.
"Yes!" Gong Liang saw that something was wrong, quickly agreed, and then ran out.
"Mancang, if this is true, then Xu Jianguo on your team has done a great job!"
"President, this cannot be faked. Although he is young, he is very calm and steady in his work. He also knows martial arts. He knocked down two Japanese soldiers with guns in just a few moves. Who among the militiamen in our commune can do that? In addition, he rescued a 3-year-old girl yesterday. You also know the situation in our village. It is difficult for us to eat enough, but he insisted on raising the child... and he also agreed to lend 20 kilograms of food to our team..." Li Mancang reported to Zhao Weiguo everything Xu Jianguo had done in the past two days.
"Is it really as good as you say?" Zhao Weiguo asked.
"President, what good will it be for me to lie to you? Why don't you trust me?" Li Mancang said a little impatiently when he saw that Zhao Weiguo didn't believe what he said.
"It's not that I don't believe him, it's that I don't believe you. What do you mean by telling me all this? Don't I know you? Just look at you, Li Mancang. I can tell how much shit you poop just by looking at your butt! Just say it directly if you have something to say. Don't beat around the bush!" Zhao Weiguo said angrily.
"Hehe, President, you are wise. Look, our villagers have made such great contributions, are there any rewards?" Li Mancang said with a smile.
"There will definitely be a reward, but not now. We need to hold a meeting to discuss this matter later. Besides, the one who made the contribution was Xu Jianguo, what does it have to do with you?" Zhao Weiguo glared at Li Mancang.
"I..." Li Mancang was about to speak when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Knock, knock, knock, report!"
"Come in!"
"Report to Comrade President, the militia has assembled, please give instructions." Gong Liang said.
"Stay where you are!"
"yes!"
Gong Liang walked out and closed the door.
"President..." Li Mancang was about to continue the previous topic when he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone on the table. He was so angry that he rolled his eyes.
"Hello! This is Zhao Weiguo! Yes, the situation is true, okay..." After Zhao Weiguo finished speaking, he hung up the phone, walked outside and called Gong Liang in.
"Gong Liang, you take the militia and set off first. Leave a few people along the way to welcome the comrades from the county. After entering the village, first find Li Erniu, the militia captain of Sandaliang, and then let him take you to find Comrade Xu Jianguo to understand the situation. Find out the terrain as soon as possible and act quietly. Be careful not to alert the enemy. After understanding the situation, stay on standby." Zhao Weiguo said.
