Chapter Twenty: The Waves Rise Again

  The next day, Liao Kefan received his subordinates in the office who were going to various brigades. They all reported one after another that the troops here had gone out for training and all thought meetings had been suspended. What could Liao Kefan say? He could only tell his subordinates to continue the meeting at night!

  Liao Kefan is also a compromise. Since you've trained, that's okay, it saves others from saying that they delayed the team training. It can be done at night anyway!

  Unfortunately, injustice is beautiful, reality is cruel! The warriors who trained fiercely during the day were exhausted after dinner and only wanted to sleep. Who would still want to hold a meeting or accuse others? Even if a few classes held meetings, that's okay! On the second day, before dawn, the whistle blew again, and it continued like this for several days. Those who attended the meetings couldn't take it anymore and hurriedly rested and slept. They're not made of iron, after all. If they can't complete their training tasks tomorrow, the punishment will be deadly!

  After a week, Liao Kefan was about to explode with anger, and the momentum that had just emerged was suddenly extinguished by Chen Feidu's combination of punches! He couldn't even find an excuse to refute him!

  It's come to this, Liao Kefan had no choice but to report the work to his superiors. The director of the 18th Division Political Department was a veteran Red Army soldier and he himself was quite opposed to the expansion of the rectification campaign. Originally, the spearhead was aimed at those spies who had infiltrated the troops, but as time went on, cases of wrongful arrest and killing would often appear!

  As a result, the outcome was obvious! Liao Kefan originally thought that his superiors would give him some support, but after receiving a phone call from Xiao Fei, he was almost scolded to tears! Xiao Fei started with a severe reprimand on the phone, saying that he did not unite with comrades and disobeyed the orders of his superiors. Xiao Fei's intention was clear: rectification must be carried out, but it must be done under the leadership of Captain Chen Feicheng!

  Well, a hat without a leader has been pulled down, and if this gets out, the first one to be reviewed and investigated will probably be himself. Liao Kefan can only temporarily bow his head for now, but in his heart, he thoroughly hates Chen Feichen. People are like this, often hating someone because of their own reasons, and there's no reason to find such things, maybe everyone's aura is different!

  Chen Feichen also received Xiao Fei's phone call, and he was also criticized by Xiao Fei. On the phone, Xiao Fei repeatedly emphasized unity. If you can't even unite with your comrades around you, if you can't even control your own troops, then what are you doing as a team leader? You might as well just be a regular soldier!

  Chen Feichen wanted to explain a couple more sentences, but Xiao Fei didn't give him the chance. As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately hung up the phone. It can be imagined that Xiao Fei was furious! Chen Feichen thought it over and felt that at this time, it's better to complain less. Otherwise, he would have been uncomfortable with himself.

  But Chen Feichen won't change his plan because of this, what's to be done will still be done. Nor will he openly obstruct Liao Kefan and the others from doing their job, let everyone show off their skills and see who's capable!

  Chen Feichen thought so and did so, but in fact things often need to depend on the will of heaven.

  Liu Chaoxi, an ordinary cadre of the Security Bureau of the Political Department of the Third Regiment, took three comrades to the First Battalion of the First Regiment to inquire about the situation. Based on some analysis of the situation, it was suspected that the battalion commander Xue Fei had major suspicions! Xue Fei had experience working in the political training department of the former Nationalist Army. What kind of department is this political training department? Everyone knows that the people inside are all die-hard Kuomintang opposition personnel.

  Liu Chaoxi had already made up his mind on the way, he thought that this time he was not shooting randomly, and this time was more planned than before! With the principle of being careful and making no big mistakes, this sly work must be done in such a way.

  He arrived at the camp and found the instructor Tian Gang. He quickly informed Tian Gang of his intention and asked for his support. Tian Gang was shocked upon hearing this, which was completely beyond his expectation. Was Xue Fei a spy? How could he not know?

  Tian Gang still raised his own doubts and asked in confusion: "Is this a mistake? Comrade Liu Chaoxi?"

  Liu Chaoxi solemnly said: "Judging from the current situation, Xue Fei is now suspected of being a spy, and even if he is not, there are still major suspicions about him! With a serious and responsible attitude, we must take necessary measures! You know, it's not that I'm afraid of ten thousand, but that one in ten thousand!"

  Tian Gang was carefully considering, pacing back and forth in his office. He had to think it through - Xue Fei's prestige in the First Regiment was very high, although it was a newly formed unit, but Xue Fei's charisma quickly won him the support of everyone in the regiment! If it turned out later that Comrade Xue Fei was wrongly accused, the consequences would be fatal, and no one could bear such consequences!

  Seeing Tian Gang's hesitation, Liu Chaoxi urged: "Comrade Tian Gang, this is Director Liao's personal order. This is our job, please cooperate!"

  Tian Gang said cautiously: "Cooperation is no problem, but I have to remind you that if Comrade Xue Fei is not a spy, who will bear the consequences? You? If it's you, then your revolutionary career can be said to end here! Have you thought about this?"

  Liu Chaixi's heart skipped a beat, and he really hadn't thought of this possibility. The more Liu Chaixi thought about it, the less confident he became. Tian Gang saw that Liu Chaixi was also wavering, so he continued: "I suggest that we must have sufficient evidence, otherwise we can't take any measures, or else it must be ironclad evidence. This is also for everyone's responsibility! As revolutionaries, we must have a responsible attitude towards every matter, and cannot make rash decisions. This kind of thing must be handled with caution, as it concerns the life of a comrade!"

  Li Chaoxi misunderstood, he misunderstood Tian Gang's meaning, he thought this was Tian Gang * himself, this is to give himself a warning, he immediately said: "This point does not need Comrade Tian Gang to remind and educate me, I am very clear about my own work!"

  Tian Gang listened and looked at Liu Chaoxi deeply, saying: "Have you thought through the consequences?"

  "Of course!"

  "So does the squad leader know?"

  "I don't know if the squad leader knows or not, but I'm just carrying out the task assigned to me by my superior!"

  Tian Gang picked up the phone and said: "I report this matter to the captain. If the captain agrees, then I will execute it!"

  Liu Chaixi knew something was wrong, and the result was obvious. After Tian Gang hung up the phone, he seriously said to Liu Chaixi: "The captain ordered you, Comrade Liu Chaixi, to report to the captain immediately and make a personal work report in front of the captain!"

  After finishing speaking, Tian Gang stretched out his hand and said: "Please, Comrade Liu Chaoxi!"

  Liu Chaoxi's face turned ugly and he was stunned for a moment, then he reluctantly turned around and left. Tian Gang didn't see him out the door, instead he called the guard in and told him to immediately call the camp commander over, there was something to discuss!
