Siheyuan: Shazhu's Brother Shadan

After understanding the situation, he first calmed the emotions of both sides, and then said: "This batch of equipment is the common property of the anti-Japanese war and should not belong to any party. We should unite and fight against foreign enemies together!"

After hearing this, Shadan and the deputy commander of the 42nd Division both thought it made sense.

"But someone actually wanted to shoot the commander of the independent brigade. This is absolutely not allowed. Someone come!"

At this time, many Eighth Route Army soldiers came from the periphery. "Tie them up for me. They want to harm our heroes who fight against the Japanese. That would be a slap in the face of our 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army. No one from the Second War Zone will come forward this time. These people must be shot. Quick, tie them up for me."

Now the people of the 42nd Division were completely blinded, and all the people who came to ask for equipment, including the deputy division commander, were detained.

"Commander, is this really okay?" Shadan asked with a worried look on his face.

"You should be clear about your identity and status. You are not an ordinary person. You are the commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Brigade! You are not only an admired anti-Japanese hero, but also the glorious banner of our Eighth Route Army! Anyone who attempts to murder you is against the entire Eighth Route Army! Can you understand this?" The commander of the 115th Division explained earnestly, patiently and sincerely.

"I understand!" Shadan suddenly realized. He straightened up, looked solemn, and without hesitation saluted the division commander with a standard and solemn military salute, expressing his firm obedience to orders.

"This time I came here specifically to support you and encourage you, to see if there is any other bastard who dares to bully you!" The commander said, patting his chest, his tone firm and powerful.

"Hearing you say that, even though the words are a bit vulgar, the logic is not crude at all, it really makes me feel very warm and reassured!" Shadan responded excitedly, tears glistening in his eyes.

"You just need to remember one thing. Within the jurisdiction of our Eighth Route Army, no one can bully you. I'm here!" The division commander emphasized solemnly, and the majesty in his words was unquestionable.

Hearing this, a warm feeling surged in my heart, making me feel very warm.

Shadan couldn't help but give the division commander a standard military salute again to express his deep respect and gratitude.

This feeling of emotion was like an endless tide, surging in his heart.

The division commander turned to look at the people of the 42nd Division and said sternly: "You are also Chinese soldiers. You should take it as your responsibility to defend your country instead of engaging in infighting here! Now that we are facing a powerful enemy, you should work together to fight the Japanese invaders!" The deputy commander of the 42nd Division lowered his head in shame.

The situation was stronger than the people, and the 42nd Division could not be right no matter what. After all, the matter of shooting from behind was not a big deal, and the other party had also found a way to counter them, so they could only leave in shame.

This time the commander came to see Shadan because he had heard other rumors, so he did not come to support him.

The division commander glanced at Lin Yu and said to Shadan, "Tell them to retreat first. We can talk alone."

In fact, this platform activity not only demonstrated a fact to everyone - Shadan is now a member of the Eighth Route Army, but also will be loyal to the Communist Party in the future and even for the rest of his life.

When there was no one around, the commander took out a letter of introduction without hesitation and handed it to Shadan, saying, "Take this and copy it. Can you do it?"

Shadan stared at the application for joining the party handed to him by the teacher, his face full of confusion, and hesitantly asked: "What does this mean? I want to join the party? Are you the introducer?"

The division commander nodded and scolded with a smile: "That's about right. Don't you understand? You are now the brigade commander, but you haven't joined the party organization yet. Is this reasonable?"

After hearing this, Shadan became even more confused and asked, "Could it be that someone has complaints about this?"

The division commander nodded slightly, indicating his agreement, and then explained: "That's basically the way it should be understood. After all, everyone knows your outstanding military achievements and the size of the army you command. Is there any need to explain it?"

Shadan nodded, honestly rewrote an application to join the party, and handed it to the teacher.

"This is so true."

I thought the commander would leave after doing this, but I didn't expect him to stay.

In a simple farmyard, the teacher and Shadan sat at an old wooden table, their figures looking particularly solemn in the afterglow of the setting sun.

The commander was gently playing with a chess piece in his hand, while Shadan was looking intently at the distant sky, as if he was thinking about some profound question.

The division commander said gently: "Silly, you know I have always admired your talent and bravery. But war is always cruel, and we are all fighting for the same goal."

Shadan turned his head and said firmly: "Commander, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I will only follow the Communist Party, but I will not change my style of doing things."

The commander smiled and put down the chess piece: "I don't want to change you, I just hope that we can find common ground. You see, the people of this land, no matter which camp they belong to, they all desire peace."

Shadan was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Commander, I understand your concerns. But I believe that as long as we uphold justice, there will be true peace one day."

The commander nodded, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone: "Yes, justice. This word is easier said than done. I hope you can stick to your original intention and continue to move forward courageously. I will support you."

These words really touched the fool's heart.

Especially recently, there has been some talk in the Eighth Route Army that Shadan may have become too famous and they may want to change their flag. Although the news came from the Kuomintang, there are also some complaints within the Eighth Route Army.

This time, the teacher came not only to chat and play chess, but also to comfort him.

After the game was over, the commander said with concern, "Silly boy, I heard there are some rumors out there. Are they making you feel bad?"

Shadan took the tea and smiled bitterly: "Commander, these rumors are just trivial matters. But they do distract me a little."

The division commander encouraged: "As soldiers, we should have a firm will. Rumors stop at wise men, so don't take them too seriously."

Shadan sighed: "I know, but people are panicking, and I'm also worried that it will affect morale."

The commander patted him on the shoulder and said, "Everyone has seen your efforts and achievements. Those rumors are just temporary fog. You have to believe in yourself, and even more so, believe in your comrades."

Shadan looked up at the commander, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you, commander. I will cheer up and continue to fight for our cause."

The commander smiled and nodded: "That's right. We are all fighting for a common ideal. Don't let the outside voices shake your determination."

The conversation between the two lasted for a long time until the night darkened. Shadan gradually calmed down, and he knew that at such a moment, the support of his comrades was more important than anything else.

In fact, he couldn't talk about this matter now, but with the understanding and comfort of his teacher, he felt much better.

But there was still one thing that had to be done, so Shadan called Lin Yu directly to the command room, just the two of them.

They just sat there silently, no one said a word.

"Don't you have anything to say to me?" Shadan stared at Lin Yu and asked expressionlessly.

"What?" Lin Yu asked back with a confused look on his face.

A hint of coldness flashed in Shadan's eyes. He just looked at Lin Yu straight, expecting the other party to take the initiative to admit his mistake, but he never expected that what he was waiting for was such a speechless rhetorical question.

"It was you who leaked the news of our base to the 42nd Division, right? Didn't the Eighth Route Army treat you well? Didn't the Independent Brigade treat you unfairly? Did we all treat you badly? Or... was it me who didn't treat you well enough?" Shadan became more and more excited as he spoke, and his tone became more and more severe.

This series of questions like a string of cannonballs made Lin Yu's face turn extremely ugly in an instant, and his face turned blue and white, changing constantly.

She opened her mouth, wanting to explain something, but didn't know where to start.

"We have been through wind and rain, mountains of swords and seas of fire together in the past two years. Even a piece of cold and hard iron should be warmed up by now! Could it be that you have never considered us as your own people from the beginning to the end?" Shadan frowned and asked the other party with a puzzled look on his face.

"Brigade Commander, I belong to the Kuomintang after all, and you are a famous general of the Eighth Route Army. How do you want me to make a choice?" Lin Yu was full of pain and his face was full of struggle.

Yes, in fact, it is not objectionable for everyone to stick to his or her own beliefs, but what is regrettable is that they chose to say such naive words at such an inappropriate time.

"Things have come to this. From today on, you only need to focus on handling the internal affairs of the Military Academy. You don't need to interfere in other matters in the army." The brigade commander said in a firm tone.

"Why? I need a reason! Please tell me why?" Lin Yu stood up from his seat suddenly, extremely excited.

At this time, Shadan also stood up slowly, looking at Lin Yu with firm and sincere eyes: "If I tell you that everything I do is for your own good, are you willing to believe me?"

For a moment, the whole room fell into silence. The two of them just stared at each other quietly, and no one said another word.

Finally, it was Lin Yu who broke the deadlock first: "I believe it!" His answer was brief and powerful, and his attitude was very firm.

From then on, Lin Yu really did as he said and devoted all his energy to the work related to the Military Academy.

Mingyue was shocked after seeing this scene, and murmured to herself in confusion: "What on earth is going on...?"

Shadan began to focus on his own independent brigade.

Since our troops are called independent brigades, we naturally have our own way of doing things.
