march to victory

"Old Hu, tell me something, my busy ass is going to be on fire."

Zhang Qingshan ran back to the headquarters in one breath, without saying anything, after drinking the water in the cup, he wiped his mouth and asked out of breath.

More than half a month has passed since the Battle of Gezikou. In view of the unprecedented loss of the assault group due to this battle, more than 600 people died in the battle alone. The distressed Zhang Qingshan did not sleep for three days and three nights, not because he was busy with the burial Martyrs are busy recruiting soldiers.

To be honest, the benefits of unifying the three counties were immediately apparent. As soon as the conscription order for the assault regiment was issued, the common people flocked forward, almost breaking the threshold.It is very easy to make up the soldiers, and the top ones are all young men of Yishui.

Moreover, the common people's enthusiasm for the assault regiment was greatly aroused, and food, cloth, salt and other daily necessities were continuously sent to Qinglong Mountain like ants moving house.The party, government and military regulations clearly stipulate that ordinary people should not be treated with needles and stitches, but looking at the enthusiasm of the people, both Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze felt that if they refused all of them, if they did not accept anything, it would dampen the enthusiasm of the people. unfavorable.The Youth League Party Committee was convened urgently, and it was unanimously decided that whatever the poor people sent, no matter how much they sent, nothing else would be accepted, and all food would be collected at market prices. Explain our three disciplines and eight points of attention.

However, there is nothing to say about those rich and powerful big households, just treat them as donations, anyway, they are not bad for these... And those big households also know that the sky has changed, and if they don't please the assault group, who can guarantee The commando group won't settle accounts with them after autumn?Besides, under the rule of the little devil, they are all big families, how many clean ones are there?

Therefore, these guys not only sent money and food, but some also gave weapons and ammunition.

And with Zhang Qingshan's temperament, he usually has to be the shopkeeper when he has nothing to do, not to mention these things that he thinks he is not good at, so it is naturally impossible to do everything himself.Therefore, he grasped one point: train those recruits severely, and let them adapt to everything in the army as soon as possible.At the same time, don't forget to supervise the training situation of each company-this was stimulated by the Battle of Gezikou.Summing up the experience afterwards, I discovered that many seemingly insignificant small details determine life and death at critical moments, such as the artillery company, their formation, or the division of troops to assist the infantry, which is not flexible enough.Otherwise, if they can change a place with one cannon, it is absolutely impossible to lose six small steel cannons.This is the result of insufficient training in this area and only knowing how to act according to rigid teaching materials.

There are still many such things, so even after being tied for more than a month, Zhang Qingshan did not relax, but trained even harder.

"Old Zhang, you have been punished by the organization." Hu Yingze frowned and passed the telegram to Zhang Qingshan with a sullen face: "Take a look."

Zhang Qingshan was stunned at the moment, and then he remembered that he was still wearing a sinful body.He smiled a little awkwardly, and while receiving the telegram, he jokingly said, "Calculating the time, Deputy Director Li should have returned to the division headquarters long ago, and the punishment should come down."

But looking down at the contents of the telegram, Zhang Qingshan was delighted.

The matter of Zhang Qingshan was clearly stated in the telegram - being able to describe the situation in such detail in the telegram definitely shows how much the division attaches importance to Zhang Qingshan's punishment, and there is even a sense of propaganda in it.

However, the result was: Zhang Qingshan's regiment leader couldn't do it anymore, and directly became the instructor of the assault company.

This is what made Zhang Qingshan go back to his old job, no wonder Zhang Qingshan grinned.

"You still have the face to smile?" Zhang Qingshan, the person involved, smiled cheerfully, but Hu Yingze's face was so dark that it was almost as dark as pot ashes: "Do you know that our battle at Pigeonkou not only defeated our assault The prestige of the regiment made our entire Eighth Route Army feel proud, and even the theater headquarters sent a telegram of rewards..."

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Qingshan jumped up, looked at Hu Yingze with bright eyes, and asked eagerly: "Even the theater command knows?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Qingshan asked further: "Then how much material rewards are they going to give us?"

Hu Yingze, who was getting angry, suddenly froze, as if someone was choking his neck, and suffocated.

After a short while, he said angrily: "The material rewards of bullshit are verbal awards, not even a certificate of merit."

"I...I..." Zhang Qingshan instinctively opened his mouth to scold, but swallowed it back forcefully.

After looking at each other with Hu Yingze, he slapped his thigh and scolded: "These guys are too stingy! It's okay to hide behind and enjoy the blessings, but they don't even give any basic weapons and ammunition. It's outrageous."

Hu Yingze pursed his lips, thinking to himself: I haven't finished what I said later, otherwise, let you know that they call us a militia organization (assault regiment is not Lao Jiang's registered army), and I don't know what you will do It's over.

In order to prevent Zhang Qingshan from continuing to ask questions and revealing these annoying questions that are slowing down, Hu Yingze coughed twice, saw Zhang Qingshan looking over, and said seriously: "Stop making jokes with me, and continue the topic just now... By the way, where did I say it?"

"Your Political Commissar Hu criticized me just now, and all the comrades are working hard, but I'm holding everyone back..." Zhang Qingshan waved his hands, sat on the chair, poured himself a glass of water, and said with a smile.

He didn't have any hope for the material rewards that Lao Jiang would give them. Just now, he just had a little hope. Now, his hope is shattered, and he doesn't mind it.After all, everyone knew that Lao Jiang only recognized the establishment of three divisions for the Eighth Route Army, and refused to recognize anything else.Even these so-called militia organizations in their mouths, no matter how many victories they have won, they will never admit that it was the work of the Eighth Route Army.Because in this way, not only can you avoid giving material rewards, etc., but the greater advantage is that you can confuse the public, fool the people of the country, and make people who don't know the truth think that this is really a militia organization that responds to Chiang Kai-shek. The call, the achievements made under the leadership of Lao Jiang.

"Oh~! That's right." Lao Hu took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Zhang Qingshan, looked at Zhang Qingshan, and said with a straight face: "Look, the headquarters and the division headquarters have given us a lot of rewards and affirmations. It's being named and commended by the whole teacher... But you see, when everyone is happy to accept the congratulations, but you are the only guy who is named and criticized, which is also the treatment of the whole teacher."

"Just report it, I don't care." Zhang Qingshan yelled disdainfully, assuming a hob meat posture that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.

"Get the hell out of me!"

"Yes!" Zhang Qingshan immediately jumped up, saluted with a smile, and fled away quickly.Hu Yingze was stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Come back!"

Zhang Qingshan turned around with a hippie smile and walked back, sat back on the chair with a grin, and smiled at Hu Yingze: "Old Hu, calm down?"

Asked by Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze sighed dumbfoundedly, shook his head, and said, "Being so angry with you, I almost fell for your tricks, and let you fool me so easily."

Zhang Qingshan chuckled, picked up the cigarette on the table, offered it to Hu Yingze courteously, lit it, and then lit one for himself.

"The teacher personally sent a telegram, scolding you a lot, and I will bear it for you... The old regiment leader also sent a telegram, and I also suffered a lot of scolding. Why, now I say something to you, You're getting angry again, aren't you?"

Seeing that Hu Yingze became more and more angry, it was obvious that he really took a lot of anger for himself, so Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to bow to Hu Yingze, and was about to thank him, but remembered something, widened his eyes, and asked angrily: " Lao Hu, you are my partner, you feel wronged by kicking me, what's wrong?"

Hu Yingze pointed at him angrily, and didn't put it down for a long time.

But Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I admit my mistake, can I thank you?"

Hu Yingze really had no choice but to sigh and smoke.

But before Zhang Qingshan apologized further, Hu Yingze said: "Old Zhang, let me tell you the truth, I think your punishment is light. Of course, this is inseparable from the current situation of our assault group. But, You know, what I'm most troubled with now is that no matter what I say, the division headquarters just don't agree to let you be the deputy commander, not even a staff officer..."

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Qingshan with a frown, and said: "You also know that I am good at handling political work, and you forced me to be a proficient in logistics, but I really don't know how to lead troops to fight! Not to mention an excellent commander like you... Originally, I was thinking, even if you are reduced to an ordinary soldier, as long as you are not directly shot, we will have a chance. Then, I will beg for mercy and let you If you are a deputy head or a staff officer, then you can still make suggestions or take command, at worst I will be a name. But now... hey~! What do you want me to do?"

I don't know what the division is thinking, anyway, the distance is far away, it is probably impossible to send a regiment leader directly, but it is still very easy to be promoted from the assault regiment, but the division did not move, but let Hu Yingze continue The regiment's political commissar and acting head, shoulder to shoulder!

Zhang Qingshan suddenly puffed out a puff of smoke, although he was about to burst into tears, he still looked at Hu Yingze in disbelief.

After a while, he asked, "Old Hu, when did you become like this? You don't even understand such a simple truth?"

Like a good baby, Hu Yingze looked at Zhang Qingshan seriously and shook his head seriously.

"Isn't that obvious! The division headquarter just left this seat for me, but it's hard to say it clearly..." He pondered for a while before saying, "Of course, it's also possible that the division headquarter is inspecting the new head of the regiment... ...However, no matter what, as long as I am still in the assault regiment, no matter whether the division headquarters will allow me to be the deputy commander or a staff officer, as long as the division headquarters does not send people, we can have policies and countermeasures! If you don’t say it, everyone doesn’t say it, I am clearly the instructor of the assault company, but I am actually hiding behind your back to give you advice, who would dare to make trouble?”

"Well! Makes sense."

Seeing Hu Yingze nodding suddenly with a smile, Zhang Qingshan suddenly thought of something. After thinking about it carefully, he immediately patted the table, pointed at Hu Yingze and cursed: "Okay! Old Hu, you are really afraid that I will pick you up, so you deliberately dig a hole!" The pit is waiting for me to jump by myself, right?"

"This is what you want to dance~! Ha! Ha..."

It's very simple. With Hu Yingze's experience, how could he not even understand this point?The reason why he pretended to be confused was that Zhang Qingshan sent him to his door on his own initiative and acted as his military advisor.

Seeing Hu Yingze's smug smile, Zhang Qingshan immediately blew his beard and stared, looking like he was going to run away, but he couldn't do anything about Hu Yingze...
