Carrying two buckets of porridge into the mountains, Wang Banshang's face drooped as he deliberately carried the three-eight-pound lid on his back.
Wang Banshang walked a few steps, knocked on the gong hanging on the pole, and shouted feebly: "The assessment is over. The fragrant corn stubble, sweet potato porridge is still hot. If you want to eat, come out quickly."
After shouting a few words, Wang Banshang looked at Xie Tian who was walking in front with an MP40 on his back and asked: "Captain, is that what you shouted?"
Xie Tian turned around and smiled: "That's a good shout, continue."
Wang Banshang sighed: "The assessment is over, come out and drink porridge, you bastards."
Originally, Wang Banshang thought he was following Xie Tian out to stretch his muscles, and he even deliberately carried the gun he was given on his back. But it turned out that he was just here to deliver food.
After walking on the mountain road for several miles, a head finally poked out from a clump of withered grass on the side of the road. He glanced behind Xie Tianwang and Banshang, jumped up, whistled loudly, and ran towards Xie Tianwang with a laugh. The two Banshang shouted: "Come out, brothers, the leader has brought us food."
Following the shouting, the snow piles in several grass pits nearby were raised. Li Changshun patted the mud on his body and wiped the mud off his face with his sleeves. He ran over with a smile and asked Xie Tian: "Why is the regiment leader over?" , isn’t there still a few hours left?”
Xie Tian smiled and nodded with his finger, and asked: "Why are there only twelve people? Where is Xie Jin?"
Li Changshun curled his lips and looked at Xie Tian and said: "Comrade Xie Jin disobeyed the command and acted alone. Commander, I have been worried about him. If anything happens to Comrade Xie Jin, I ask the regiment to punish me."
Xie Tian chuckled and patted Li Changshun on the shoulder: "It has nothing to do with you, I know that kid, hurry up and drink the porridge while it's hot."
"Hey," Li Changshun responded and ran over, picked up a bowl, filled himself a large bowl of porridge and drank it.
I hid in a snow pit all night on this cold day, and I was really freezing.
Wang Banshang threw the pole to the side of the hillside depressedly, sat on the pole with his gun in his arms, took out his tobacco bag, dug a pot of tobacco leaves, lit them, and sighed secretly.
It seems that the regiment commander has no intention of putting me in the combat unit. Forget it, I am getting older, so it would be good to do some logistical work for the soldiers.
Xie Tian leaned on the stone with a smile and looked at the twelve soldiers who were squatting or sitting around the porridge bucket. He picked up the MP40 in his hand and uttered a rhythmic dubbing: "Da da da da, da da da da... …”
The twelve soldiers were instantly confused. They looked at Xie Tian in surprise. Li Changshun looked at Xie Tian with a confused expression while holding the porridge bowl: "Captain, what do you mean?"
Xie Tian smiled slightly and said: "I never said the assessment was over from the beginning to the end. It was Squad Leader Wang who called for it, right? Now you have all been wiped out by me."
"Captain, you are cheating! I don't accept it." Several soldiers started making a fuss, especially those soldiers who had been judged dead twice by Xie Tian.
Xie Tian looked at the soldiers and said, "It's pretty good that you have three lives now. On a real battlefield, you are not so lucky. You only have one life, and it's gone when you die."
Although the soldiers were still dissatisfied, they could not refute Xie Tian's words.
Xie Tian glanced at the twelve soldiers with a straight face: "So, you must keep a clear head at all times and be more cautious in any situation. Just like now, before you confirm from me whether the assessment has ended, Can you arrange for two people to keep an eye on me? That way, if I make any slight move, you at least have a chance to give it a try."
Li Changshun stood up and looked at Xie Tian and said: "Captain, I asked them to come out. The responsibility lies with me. You deal with me. Please give them another chance, Commander."
"Platoon leader, I will go with you. Anyway, I have died three times. Although I am not convinced, I have nothing to say." Several soldiers stood next to Li Changshun, assuming a posture of sharing the same hatred with the enemy.
Xie Tian looked at the twelve warriors in front of him with a smile, and he saw everyone's reaction in his eyes.
Wang Banshang, who was smoking a dry cigarette on the side, was dumbfounded. He finally saw that these stupid roe deer were tricked by the group leader, and he was also tricked by the group leader, and was used as bait.
Xie Tian straightened his back and stood up straight, walked to the twelve soldiers, glanced at each of them, walked to Wang Banshang, turned around and shouted at the twelve soldiers: "Line up."
Some of the twelve soldiers who were still holding bowls hurriedly put down their bowls and lined up. Xie Tian announced loudly and solemnly: "I announce that the assessment exercise is over. All twelve of you have passed the assessment. Comrade Li Changshun is now officially appointed as The mobile platoon leader, Comrade Ge Dazhuang, is the deputy platoon leader, and all soldiers in the mobile platoon are equivalent to the squad leaders of combat units. They can take over the duties of squad leaders of other units if necessary during wartime."
The twelve soldiers of the mobile platoon were stunned for a moment, then suddenly screamed. They swarmed up, lifted Li Changshun, and threw him into the sky.
Xie Tian laughed: "Now hurry up and give me some porridge, then go down the mountain and take a shower. I'll give you a day off today. You can do whatever you like. You can drink. You can also fight with the guys who chased you yesterday. I'll see. Not even."
After that, Xie Tian carried the gun on his back and went down the mountain.
A responsible platoon leader led a group of screaming soldiers, and his mobile formation was formed.
Before reaching the bottom of the mountain, a majestic military song came from behind.
"Forward! Forward! Forward! Our team faces the sun and steps on the land of the motherland."
"Carrying the hope of the nation, we are an invincible force."
"We are the children of the people, and we are the armed forces resisting Japan."
"Never fear, never give in, fight bravely until the Japanese are wiped out."
…
Hearing this song, Xie Tian smiled.
Xie Tian did not go back to the regiment headquarters but went directly back to the silk and satin shop. In the silk and satin shop, a group of women were talking and laughing, sewing military uniforms and making military shoes.
Tang Haoer was a little surprised to see Xie Tian come back and asked, "Why are you back at this hour?"
Xie Tian picked up the teapot on the table, poured himself a glass of water, and said, "I just went up the mountain to bring back the boys from the mobile platoon."
"Where is Tiedan? Not with them?" Tang Haoer asked.
Xie Tian glanced at Li Chunxiang from the corner of his eye and replied: "No, I don't know where this little brat is hiding."
Li Chunxiang pursed her lips and smiled, subconsciously avoiding Xie Tian's gaze.
Xie Tian smiled and said to Li Chunxiang: "President Li, how is your family's business recently?"
Li Chunxiang said with a smile: "It's still like that. It's either dead or alive."
Xie Tianyi smiled and asked: "How is the digging of your tunnels going? Now many people's tunnels have been connected to the main passage, and your tunnels are holding back. What if the devils come today? Hide in that Waiting in half the tunnel for the Japanese to catch turtles in a jar?"
Li Chunxiang chuckled: "Why do I think Captain Xie is scolding me? Okay, I know. In the past two days, I have been urging our old Cui to dig the tunnel, otherwise I will not let him get on the kang."
A woman who was picking up the soles of her shoes said with a giggle: "Who can believe it? If your old Cui is not allowed to get on the kang, you have to worry about it yourself? If you don't let Lao Cui get on the kang, then let Captain Xie get on the kang. Thank you. Leader, the big Kang at President Li’s house is so cozy and warm, you will regret it if you don’t try it.”
A group of women laughed in unison. Li Chunxiang didn't catch the woman and simply put her waist on her waist and said with a smile: "I really want to thank the leader for joining our big kang. If he wants to thank the leader, I will make two beds for him." Be envious of me."
Xie Tian chuckled and put down the water glass, looked at Li Chunxiang and said: "No kidding, we just taught the Imperial Alliance Army a lesson two days ago. The devils will come when they say it. Well, if your old Cui doesn't have time, I will arrange for two soldiers to go there." Help dig a tunnel for your house. You guys should be busy first, I will go over now to see how far the tunnel has been dug for your house."
Li Chunxiang's expression suddenly changed. She hurriedly ran forward to block the door and said to Xie Tian, "No need to trouble Commander Xie. I guarantee that the tunnel to my house will be dug tonight at the latest."
Xie Tian smiled and squeezed past Li Chunxiang: "Okay, then I won't arrange for the soldiers to go over. I'll go over and take a look first so I can have an idea."
Li Chunxiang hurriedly chased out to stop him: "No, no, no, really no."
Xie Tian smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, it's not troublesome."
Seeing the two of them walking towards Xiangmanlou, Tang Haoer was stunned for a while and suddenly smiled and said: "You guys are busy first, I will go over and take a look."
The same woman laughed and said: "Hao'er is worried, go ahead, go ahead, but don't let Captain Xie get on the wrong bed."
Tang Haoer smiled slightly and followed without any rebuttal.
There were no guests in Xiangmanlou at this time, and Lao Cui was busy making Bazhen Roast Chicken in the kitchen. Xie Tian walked into the kitchen with a curtain, took a look and greeted Lao Cui with a smile: "Old Cui is busy, how is the business recently? "
Lao Cui turned around and saw that the person who came in was Xie Tian. He hurriedly put down his work and wiped his hands on his apron and laughed: "Commander Xie is here. This business is in chaos. Now everyone has no money in their pockets. A good day and a bad day.”
Li Chunxiang, who walked in right behind Xie Tian, winked at Lao Cui and said with a smile: "Captain Xie, please sit in front, it's messy and smelly in here. I'll make you a pot of good tea at the front. "
Xie Tian sat down on an abandoned stove with a smile and said with a smile: "It's good just here. By the way, Lao Cui, do you have chili noodles in the kitchen?"
"Yes, yes," Lao Cui hurriedly brought over a pot of chili noodles.
Xie Tian laughed: "You don't need so much, just a handful is enough."
Lao Cui asked inexplicably: "Captain Xie, what do you want the chili noodles for? How about I help you fry them?"
Xie Tian smiled and took out a handful of burning firewood from the stove nearby, and said with a smile: "No, no, I'll use it to smoke the mice."
Lao Cui was confused: "Smoking rats with chili powder? I've never heard of it."
Xie Tian smiled at Li Chunxiang, turned around and lifted up the broken pot on the stove, threw the burning firewood in, grabbed a handful of chili noodles from the chili basin held by Lao Cui and threw them in together.
Li Chunxiang's expression changed instantly.
