Zhang Platoon Commander said: "In broad daylight, you have beaten and insulted the masses, affecting social order, please stop this evil deed immediately." ”
Relying on the large number of them, the hooligans not only did not listen to the advice of Zhang Platoon Leader, but instead rushed up and beat up the three people of Zhang Platoon Commander, and Zhang Platoon Commander was not afraid, leading two fighters to engage in hand-to-hand combat with these dozen local hooligans, and finally because they were outnumbered, they were injured by a gang of hooligans.
After Commander Liu Maogong heard that Commander Zhang Platoon had been injured and hospitalized, he was extremely angry; he called the head of the security department and hurried to the hospital to visit Commander Zhang and his party, and after asking the reason for the matter, Commander Liu was very angry, and he considered for a while and said: "Which of the three of you can still move your arms and legs?" ”
The warrior Xiao Li stood up and said, "Chief, my injuries are a little lighter, my arms and legs are fine, I can act." ”
Commander Liu said, "Well, you immediately bring a team of guard fighters to the scene to find these gangsters, escort them back to the military region, and hand them over to the security department for handling." ”
Soldier Xiao Li jumped off the hospital bed excitedly and said, "Commander, guarantee to complete the task." ”
Zhang Platoon Commander also said to Xiao Li: "I hope it's all on your side, you must catch these bad guys, our blood can't flow in vain." ”
Xiao Li said to Zhang Platoon Leader: "Rest assured, Platoon Leader, I will definitely satisfy you." ”
Xiao Li set out with a team of guards and warriors, who came to the Confucius Temple to search carefully, and finally, at a remote bend in the Confucius Temple, they found the gang of hooligans.
It turned out that after beating the PLA fighters in the morning, these hooligans ran home and hid for a few hours, and in the afternoon, they could not resist provoking the aggressive character, and came out again to stir up trouble, and when they were extorting and extorting their shopkeepers in a shop, they were caught by xiao Li's guards and fighters.
Xiao Li sneered and said, "You scum, think it will be all right to beat us up, you think it is beautiful, now you have to seek justice from you." ”
These guys were caught and beaten up by the soldiers, and the hooligans who beat them screamed and screamed, and kept begging Xiao Li for his life, and Xiao Li saw that the beating was almost over, ordered the fighters to stop their hands, and escorted them back to the military region security department.
