Standing at attention: "Yes!"

"Call the sentinel who was on watch last night!"

"Yes!"

Shi Wei said to Sheng Yutong: "I can only ask who went in and out last night?" Sheng Yutong nodded in agreement.At this moment, a heavily armed sentry opened the door and walked in. She shouted: "Sentinel 543 reports to you!"

"Sentinel 543, what time were you on duty last night?"

"Report, from the arrival of the Third Army at [-] o'clock last night to the death of the prisoners at [-] o'clock in the morning, I was on duty all the time."

Shi Wei nodded with satisfaction: "Very good! Which members of the Third Army entered the prison last night?"

"At 06:30, the cooking team delivered meals to the prisoners once, and no one entered the prison after that. At four o'clock in the morning, the health team came to take the prisoners' temperature, and the prisoners were dead by then."

"Very well, let's go back, I will call you again if something happens," Shi Wei looked at Sheng Yutong, "Fortunately, I was there to capture the prisoners this time. If the truth of this matter cannot be found out, I'm afraid the responsibility will fall on you gone."

"Why?" Sheng Yutong was puzzled.

"According to the testimonies of the sentries and yourself, only you and the cooking squad had close contact with the prisoners. The tableware sent by the cooking squad did not detect cyanide. You tied the knots on the towels," said Shi Weiduan. He took a sip of tea, "I think this prisoner is not here to deliver information, but to disturb the morale of the army."

Sheng Yutong broke out in a cold sweat.Originally, she went into battle to capture the prisoners herself because she was worried about the ineffectiveness of her men, but she never expected that there would be a series of tricks behind her.Shi Wei took a look at Sheng Yutong and said with a smile: "Don't worry, with me here, this matter will definitely come to light."

"How can you find out the truth?" Sheng Yutong asked, "The prisoner is dead. All the testimony and evidence point to my negligence. I..."

"Don't worry," Shi Wei said with a smile, "Let's go to the health team to take a look, just treat it as a digestion."

The health team is located in the northwest corner of the Skeleton Corps. The roof is covered with a huge white cloth with the logo of international humanitarian rescue embroidered on it.Shi Wei took Sheng Yutong into the health team, and a health worker greeted them: "Hi, Major General!"

"Is that body still there?"

"Yes! Does the major general want to see the corpse?"

"No, no need, I trust your test results, show me his belongings." The hygienist led the two of them to a remote small room, where the captive's belongings were displayed in a small display room.Shi Wei saw a photo at a glance. In the photo, a three or four-year-old girl was riding on the man's shoulders, smiling brightly.

Turn over the photo, and there are four words written on the back, "My Baby".

"...It's still the father of a girl," Shi Wei said softly, "I'll take a look at his belongings, winter uniform, field rations, liquid grenade... eh? Aircraft antifreeze?"

Shi Wei frowned, she took off the hanging winter marching uniform, looked through the pockets of the clothes, and was surprised to find that the pockets had all been cut off.She tried to check the underwear, but was told by the sentinel that the underwear hadn't been sent in the first place.

In order to clarify their identities, sentinel guides on the battlefield will leave their names and family contact information on personal items to ensure that the remains can be sent back to their hometown one day.

"That's interesting," Shi Wei slowly picked up the aircraft antifreeze and handed it to Sheng Yutong.Shi Wei looked at her and said, "Maybe he's still a paratrooper."

97. Negotiation

In the basement of the Skeleton Legion's garrison, Shi Wei's subordinates entered this hidden meeting room through the secret door one by one.When they saw a stranger besides Shi Wei waiting for them in the meeting room, they were all stunned.

"This is a colleague from the Third Legion, Sheng Yutong."

Swi stood up to meet them.

"Don't be stunned, just sit down."

The twenty battalion commanders took their seats one by one, and the position near Shi Wei's right hand was naturally reserved for Sheng Yutong.Sheng Yutong pulled out the chair and sat down, watching Shi Wei easily hang up a topographic map.On the topographic map, a big red circle was drawn on the center line of the Skeleton Army and the Third Army.

"I have some news to tell you about the corpse I brought back from the Third Army this morning," Sylvia tapped heavily in the circle with a pen, "he is an airborne soldier."

"Airborne?" The battalion commanders looked at each other.Someone raised his hand: "Report!"

"please say."

"Our reconnaissance battalion has not found any signal of approaching aircraft from the radar in the past few days."

Shi Wei changed a black pen, and she drew three black circles near the Third Army Corps: "Here, here, and here are all blind spots for our radar detection, and they fit within the landing range of the airborne troops."

Someone raised his hand again: "Report!"

"speak!"

"Head Shi means that the Third Army may have concealed its military situation?"

"It's hard for me to say. Maybe the Third Army just missed such important information because of its lazy style. All in all, combined with the clear weather, no snow and little wind these days, an airborne force may have arrived near the Third Army. Shi Wei drew two more arrows on the map, "From here, as long as you cross the Mamarif River without telling the Third Army, you can go straight to the Alliance Headquarters. Going to the other side is the Mamarif Plain, Here are the two battalions of the Third Army Corps who are recuperating and are the most severely damaged battalions, and the enemy can easily swallow these two battalions, and then threaten the headquarters of the Third Army Corps."

Someone said: "Commander, shall we report this important news to the Third Army?"

"That's what I'm thinking about too," Shi Wei closed her pen cap with a serious expression on her face, "But I don't trust the Third Army Corps... Fifth Battalion Commander!"

The Fifth Battalion Commander raised his hand: "Yes!"

"You picked someone to go to the Third Army last night, right?" Shi Wei propped up the table with both hands, "How exactly is the Third Army deployed?"

"Reporting to the head of the regiment, since the Third Army resolutely refuses us to intervene in matters related to the captives, we are only allowed to deploy control on the periphery! But we can guarantee that people from last night, except for the cooking squad, can neither enter nor leave. Eight o'clock that night At my strong request, I went in with the Second Battalion Commander of the Third Army to see the prisoner, who was still alive at that time, and asked us, when can he be replaced?"

"That's it..." Shi Wei murmured, she lost her mind for a while, and found that the Fifth Battalion Commander was still standing, so she hurriedly said, please sit down.The fifth battalion commander just sat down.

Someone spoke up again: "Chief Shi, from hearing this, it seems that the portrait was lost by the Third Legion."

Everyone joined in one after another.Shi Wei stopped it aloud: "Don't talk nonsense, there is no evidence for this matter, if we make a mistake, we will all be punished."

The Fifth Battalion Commander spoke again at this moment.He stood up: "Chief Shi, I think it's right to be on guard against the Third Army. When I went to the Third Army, the people there didn't treat us as their own at all. They were so cruel to us. Water They don’t give any food or drink. To those captives, hehe, they are quite humanitarian.”

After hearing this, Shi Wei glanced at Sheng Yutong and said, "Commander Sheng, you have been with the Third Army, do you think there is anything strange about the Third Army?"

Sheng Yutong thought for a long time before slowly saying: "I hardly participate in the internal affairs of the Third Army. Something messed up and we couldn't take care of ourselves."

Shi Wei chewed Sheng Yutong's words carefully, she frowned, and sat down slowly.The first battalion commander on the left looked at Shi Wei's face and said, "Commander Shi, in my opinion, we'd better send some troops to garrison the Mamarif River first, just in case."

Shi Wei nodded: "You are right, who shall we send?"

The commander of the first battalion stood up and saluted: "We are a heavy firepower reinforced battalion, and we are the most lethal to the team that forcibly crosses the river. I would like to take the initiative to ask for my life!"

Shi Wei shook her head, she said: "No..." At this moment, the fourth battalion commander stood up: "Commander Shi, why don't I go, we have two mobile companies, and we can reach the Mamarif River in the fastest time."

"Okay, you go."

The fourth battalion commander saluted with a smile: "Yes, Commander Shi, I will definitely eat the big gift package sent by the enemy."

Shi Wei walked behind him, patted him on the back, and told him, "Don't become a fat man with one bite, and ask the alliance headquarters for help when necessary."

"Yes!" The commander of the fourth battalion smiled, and the commander of the fifth battalion said sourly: "The credit was stolen by the fourth again. Commander, our heavy firepower reinforcement battalion spends the most funds in the regiment, and works the least in the regiment." Things, brothers and sisters are not convinced!"

Shi Wei smiled: "Don't worry, there is a time when you show your supernatural powers."

In the evening, someone from the third army came to ask about the situation of the prisoners and Sheng Yutong.Orders blocked them at the door.The people from the Third Army shouted: "You can just detain the prisoners, but why did you detain our battalion commander Sheng!"

"The person our major general wants to keep, even if you spread your wings, don't try to take her away," said the orderly. "Guards, see off the guests!"

"How could you do this!" The members of the Third Legion were violently pushed out by the guards.The orderly breathed a sigh of relief, he glanced at the sky, it was still early, Major General Shi specifically told him to come to her after dark.

The guard came back: "Little orderly, why haven't you gone back to report to Major General Shi?"

The orderly smiled and said, "Oh, Major General Shi asked me to go after dark."

"Then where are you staying? Why don't you go into our duty room and enjoy the fire."

"Really? Thank you, thank you." The orderly happily entered the duty room.He was actually very young, only 16 years old, but he deliberately reported two years more when he was drafted, so he joined the army as a third-class soldier.Once this winter is over, he will be ten years old.
