"Yes, Captain!!!"
When Zhou Huairou heard Zhang Ping'an's words, he stood up immediately and said: "Comrades, I am Zhou Huairou, the former captain and company commander of the 97th Division. I graduated from the St. Cyr Military Academy in Gaul in 1936. After that, he served as an intern in the Gallic Army. After the outbreak of the all-out Anti-Japanese War, he returned to China to participate in the Anti-Japanese War and served successively as lieutenant, deputy company commander and captain company commander."
With the template of Thunder Dragon, Zhou Huairou also followed the same process as Thunder Dragon when talking. After introducing himself, he started to talk about the situation of his army.
"The 63 brothers who stayed with me include 2 squad leaders, 1 platoon leader, and the rest are soldiers. Those who left are all veterans and some officers." At this point , Zhou Huairou looked at Zhang Pingan.
"Captain, I am 27 years old this year. My father once fought with General Songpa. After General Songpa passed away, he followed him into seclusion. I have grown up listening to General Songpa's stories since I was a child, and I have inspired myself to be like him. Like General Songpa, he became a soldier who served the country and the people."
Speaking of this, Zhou Huairou, who had a serious look on his face, was a little helpless and said: "Originally, I thought that I would use what I had learned to protect my family and the country after the outbreak of the all-out war of resistance. However, in the past few months of the 97th Division, Over time, although my position was promoted from lieutenant and deputy company commander to captain and company commander, I can't see any vitality in them, but there is an air of sluggishness everywhere."
"This is just like the Gallic chicken army I saw when I was an intern in the Gallic chicken country. Of course, I may be a little subjective in saying this, but I have seen the Hans army, and what I saw there is It’s thriving, and while there’s something old-fashioned, there’s also something new.”
"So I was very troubled and confused until one time I saw the New Army of Jin Province. In the New Army of Jin Province, I saw the decayed and stale air of the old army, but there was also a fresh air that made me feel comfortable. , This made my eyes light up, and I felt like I was finding my direction in confusion."
When he said this, Zhou Huairou looked at Thunder Dragon with a somewhat apologetic expression. After all, Thunder Dragon was also from the new army of Shanxi Province.
"hehe!!!"
Feeling Zhou Huairou's expression, Thunder Dragon chuckled and shook his head to show that he didn't care.
"So, I subconsciously got to know the New Army of Jin Province, and then I cooperated with the Eighth Route Army. After I saw the Eighth Route Army and had several contacts with the Eighth Route Army, I suddenly realized that I found the New Army of Jin Province. What is it about that fresh air that attracts me?”
"That is "our party". The New Army of Shanxi Province has the party organization of "our party" and a political committee system. It is a force jointly established by "our party" and Shanxi Province. "Our Party" has given this force And added, a unique style and temperament that belongs to "our party", which is what the New Army of Shanxi Province has in common with the Eighth Route Army."
"After discovering the truth of the matter, I wondered if I could join the army of "our party", but I never had the chance. Plus, I couldn't just leave. What would I do with the more than 100 brothers under me? Then Didn’t I become a deserter?”
"This time, I was rescued by the brigade captain, and I was hesitant in my heart. On the one hand, I hesitated, brigade captain, you are an Eighth Route Army unit, but you are only a county brigade and a local unit. I came to fight against the Japanese in the war, but if I were in a local unit, Naturally, it would be better to go to the main force of the Eighth Route Army. Until Thunder Dragon came over, asked me what I thought, and said something that had a profound impact on me."
"Fighting the Japanese is the responsibility and obligation of us Chinese people. Whether it is the main force or the local troops, the ultimate goal is to resist Japan, and there is no distinction between high and low in work. How about the main force? How about the local troops? ? Captain Zhang Ping’an is also a county brigade, can you say that his unit’s combat effectiveness is weak?”
Speaking of this, Zhou Huairou smiled and said to Thunder Dragon, who was somewhat embarrassed, "It is precisely because of Thunder Dragon's words that I completely woke up. If I am still entangled with the main force and local troops, then In fact, I have not corrected my mentality. If I treat the fight against the Japanese as a matter that can be bargained, compared and calculated with each other, then I am putting the cart before the horse."
"Snap, snap, snap!!!"
Hearing Zhou Huairou's words, Zhang Ping'an was the first to applaud him, as did everyone else. Although it sounded a bit nagging, and it was not in line with the Chinese people's belief that "it is a taboo to talk superficially and talk deeply", but It was these words that let everyone know that Zhou Huairou had an innocent heart.
After the applause fell, Zhang Pingan looked at Zhou Huairou seriously and said: "Comrade Zhou Huairou, I won't say anything else. I will give you one sentence, that is, you will not regret this decision in the future." At this point , he pointed at Luo Qiming and Wang Feilong and said: "If you want to know more about our Eighth Route Army and "our party", you can go to them. Of course, you can also come to me, or wait." Instructor Zhao is back and looking for him."
When Luo Qiming and Wang Feilong heard Zhang Pingan call their names, they both understood what was going on. They immediately looked at each other, smiled at Zhou Huairou, and said together: "Comrade Zhou Huairou, the captain is right. , you can come to us if you don’t understand anything in the future, we will definitely explain everything you know. If one day, you can recognize the concept of "our party", we are willing to be your introducer."
"Thank you, thank you captain! Thank you both!!!"
Zhou Huairou listened to the sincere words of Zhang Pingan, Luo Qiming, and Wang Feilong, and he happily expressed his gratitude again and again.
"hehe!"
After Zhou Huairou finished speaking, Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "First there is Comrade Lei Long, a top student from Whampoa Military Academy, and now there is Comrade Zhou Huairou, a top student from St. Cyr Military Academy. It seems that God knows, I, Zhang Pingan, just made a statement I made a small fortune!"
As soon as Zhang Pingan said these words, everyone's curiosity was attracted. It was obvious that everyone did not understand what he meant.
Looking at everyone's confused eyes, Zhang Ping'an smiled and began to explain, saying: "In order to allow our county brigade to develop better, I also made an application to the superior leaders, and the application has been approved, that is me The military school of the 386th Brigade is coming. In the next period of time, the military school will stay in our Quanyang County and the county brigade. At that time, we who are close to the water can send all the comrades who want to learn to improve themselves. "
As soon as Zhang Pingan said these words, whether it was the old man Mao Fugui, the old revolutionaries Luo Qiming and Wang Feilong, or the four people who had just joined, they all showed expressions of surprise and disbelief at this time.
There is a tradition of establishing teaching teams in the military forces across the country. Even Lei Long, Zhou Huairou, Lu Dingguo, and Qin Mingkun, who do not understand the specific situation, understand what this means.
"Captain, is it true?!!!" Mao Fugui was the first to ask.
"Captain, are you sure?" Luo Qiming also asked.
"Captain, it's true!!!" Wang Feilong! ! !
The remaining four people did not speak, but all looked at Zhang Ping'an. Lei Long and Zhou Huairou were okay, but Lu Dingguo and Qin Mingkun were really moved, because they were not from academic backgrounds, but really relied on military merit, little by little. Climbing up from the dead.
Before, they had not thought about going to the military academy to study. On the one hand, they would broaden their horizons and abilities. On the other hand, they would naturally have a free ride on the community of interests of the military academy. But the reality made them understand how difficult this path is. It’s hard to walk!
Either they give up everything they have now and apply for the military academy and start from scratch, or they wait for their superiors to appreciate it and recommend them to go to the military academy for further study, but such an opportunity is obviously not theirs.
But now, the captain said that in the future we will have a military academy around us. Although it is not as valuable as Whampoa Military Academy in terms of value and scale, it is also a military academy and can learn things that could not be learned before. This makes the two people who have been looking forward to all this, It was a surprise in my heart.
"I didn't expect that just after I chose to join the Eighth Route Army, I got such good news!!!" Such words appeared in the minds of Lu Dingguo and Qin Mingkun involuntarily.
As for Lei Long and Zhou Huairou, who had experienced military school education, they unconsciously expressed emotion: "Sure enough, we have a good vision. Our captain is the person who does big things. The military school has made trouble, and the military school has made a fuss. Now, can we still do better in the future?"
For a time, Lei Long and Zhou Huairou also doubled their trust in Zhang Pingan.
As for their own people, Wang Feilong and Luo Qiming, they admired their captain's skills and abilities. Especially Luo Qiming, he knows that the military school of the 386th Brigade is not ordinary. Being able to be temporarily retained by Zhang Pingan shows that Zhang Pingan's status in the 386th Brigade is extraordinary. At least he can talk to the brigade leaders.
With this relationship, the development of the county brigade will definitely not be bad.
Wang Feilong was okay. After all, he was just a company-level instructor. He didn't have many contacts and his understanding was limited. But Luo Qiming was different. He was a real deputy regiment-level cadre, but he knew very well how valuable Zhang Ping'an's words were. high.
Originally, he was a little dissatisfied with his demotion and staying in the county team, but now, the trace of dissatisfaction in his heart has disappeared, and instead he has a sense of expectation.
"With such a capable team leader and so many capable people, the foundation is not bad. Except for having fewer people, the county team has a bright future!"
Zhang Pingan saw that everyone's expressions suddenly became clear because of his words. He chuckled and said: "Isn't it a surprise? Haha, I said, if you follow me, Zhang Pingan, you will definitely not go wrong!"
"So, from now on, you will train your troops well, perform your mission well, and let's fight the Japanese together. I, Zhang Ping'an, can't guarantee you anything else, but I can guarantee you one thing, and that is to fight against the Japanese, enough is enough!!!"
"Hahaha!!"
Everyone looked at their captain, showing the boldness of a bandit master. They didn't think it was indecent or abrupt. Instead, they felt that Zhang Pingan was more three-dimensional and clear. Everyone couldn't help but laugh along with him. The atmosphere in the room was so harmonious.
After talking and laughing, Zhang Ping'an turned to look at Lei Long and Zhou Huairou, and said: "Comrade Lei Long, Comrade Zhou Huairou, one of you is a top student of our Whampoa Military Academy. The other is a graduate of St. Cyr Military Academy in Gaul. When our military academy is established, will you also go to the military academy to serve as instructors part-time?"
Hearing Zhang Pingan's words, Lei Long and Zhou Huairou looked at each other and said in unison without rejection: "Yes, captain!" They have not experienced the job of being an instructor, and now that they have the opportunity, they are willing to give it a try.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the two agreeing, Zhang Ping'an smiled happily and said to everyone: "Our brigade's military school has training for junior officers and intermediate command classes for training regiment and battalion cadres, so you don't have to worry. If you really If you have ideas, you can definitely listen and learn.”
Qin Mingkun, who had been itching to ask for a long time, hurriedly asked after hearing this: "Captain, is it true? Can I go too?" Qin Mingkun's question was also of concern to Lu Dingguo and Mao Fugui. At this time, he looked at Zhang Pingan closely.
"That's natural!"
Hearing Qin Mingkun's inquiry and feeling everyone's expectant looks, he nodded without hesitation and said, "I still say the same thing, as long as you have an idea, it's absolutely fine." At this point, Zhang Pingan paused slightly. He paused, and then warned: "However, school is not a place for joking. Since you are going, you have to show an attitude. You can't fish for three days and dry the net for two days. If I fail the assessment or are called out by the instructor, then I will Not only will they be disqualified, but they will also be punished.”
"Don't worry, captain, we finally have this opportunity, how can we waste it!" Qin Mingkun shook his head without hesitation after getting the result he wanted most.
"Yes, Captain, I didn't have the chance before, so why would I miss it now that I have the opportunity?" Lu Dingguo also expressed his stance solemnly!
"We will never embarrass our team leader!" Mao Fugui was as stubborn as ever and directly raised this matter to the collective honor of the county team.
This made Qin Mingkun and Lu Dingguo's expressions tighten again. Although the military school has not been established yet and everyone has not yet entered the school, the pressure and the power called "Juan" have begun to oppress them a little.
Next up!
Lu Dingguo, Qin Mingkun, Wang Feilong, Mao Fugui and Luo Qiming all introduced themselves so that they had a basic understanding of each other.
After the introduction, Zhang Pingan looked at everyone and said: "Now, we have not returned to the county brigade. When we get home, I will arrange specific duties for everyone." At this point, Zhang Pingan glanced at the slightly nervous couple. As a newcomer, he said with a smile: "Don't worry, our Eighth Route Army does not pay attention to qualifications, everything is based on ability, so your new position will definitely satisfy you."
Zhang Ping'an's words were just right. Everyone who was a little nervous at first smiled sheepishly after being exposed. But because of these words, everyone was obviously relieved.
In terms of character, even though it was the first time we worked together, everyone still believed in Zhang Pingan.
A speechless night!
Early on the next morning, Zhang Pingan went to the brigade headquarters. Here, he saw an unexpected person, Luo Qiming, who had just joined the county brigade.
"Safety!"
Seeing Zhang Pingan coming, Political Commissar Wang waved to Zhang Pingan and said, "Are you a little surprised? Haha, originally Comrade Luo Qiming would not stay in your county brigade, but the superiors thought that your county brigade suddenly had some new people. This is not conducive to the development of the army, so the comrades from the Special Agent Group and Taikoo Brigade are allowed to stay." Speaking of this, Political Commissar Wang couldn't help but envy Zhang Pingan's good luck. This was decided by the head of the headquarters.
"ha?!!"
Sure enough, upon hearing these words from Political Commissar Wang, Zhang Ping'an was stunned for a moment, and then grinned. Last night, he was still wondering. It was normal for Lei Long and the four of them to stay, but it was somewhat wrong for Luo Qiming and Wang Feilong to stay. But now when he heard what Political Commissar Wang said, he finally understood what was going on. It turned out to be the superior. The leader should add fuel to the flames!
Looking at Zhang Ping'an with a surprised look on his face, Political Commissar Wang smiled and said: "Okay, Comrade Luo Qiming will tell you the specific reasons when we go back. Now let me read out this letter from the Eighth Route Army Headquarters to your county brigade. Give me a reward!"
