Chapter 112: Teaching materials in the smoke of war - 'Eighth Route Army Soldiers Must Read'
"In the final analysis, you need to be tough to fight. As long as the team's combat effectiveness is improved, we are not allowed to be bullied by others. We can flex our muscles when necessary." Zhou Weihan said.
"That's right. It's what we want. Why are we always wronged? No matter who it is, if it dares to provoke us, let's beat him to pieces first, haha!" Li Yunlong said carelessly.
"Old Li, let's just talk about some things. The national army has caused friction not once or twice. Don't take the initiative to confront it. When the time comes, it will be a small thing to remove you because of this matter, but it will be a big loss." Kong Jie said again at the right time.
Li Yunlong poured a basin of cold water on him.
"Lao Kong, what the hell is going on with you? You're just trying to boost others' momentum and destroy your own prestige." Li Yunlong said dissatisfied.
Zhou Weihan looked at the two bickering people with some helplessness, and the three of them walked all the way to the threshing floor at the west end of the village.
"Everyone, wait and see how to write the word "people"!" A crisp voice came from the threshing floor.
On the threshing floor, Zhang Yuanlan stood on the millstone. Two soldiers were holding on to a simple blackboard made by a carpenter. Soldier No. 100 was sitting underneath. The villagers of Chenjiayu were also watching.
These soldiers were all transformed from the prisoners of the puppet army after the Battle of Hengling Town. Three or two soldiers were using a pamphlet and gesticulating on the ground with wooden sticks in their hands.
"Comrades, our Eighth Route Army is an army of the people. It is completely opposite to the armed forces of warlords. Officers in the army are equal." Zhang Yuanlan said passionately.
Zhang Yuanlan was a cultural teacher appointed by Zhou Weihan. He had several people under him who were dedicated to carrying out cultural studies in the newly established supplementary camp.
The cadres of the supplementary battalion were all selected by Zhou Weihan from each company of the first battalion. They all had some cultural background and excellent military quality. The soldiers were all newly transformed prisoners.
After the First Division of the New Second Regiment settled down in Chenjiayu, due to the rapid expansion of the troops, Zhou Weihan contacted Zhao Gang to send a group of political cadres and arranged them in each company of the reserve battalion.
At the same time, each company of the New Second Regiment began cultural studies during the rare rest time. Each cadre took the lead in learning. Through learning to read and write, they understood the thoughts and policies of the Eighth Route Army and molded themselves into a qualified soldier.
It’s a long way to go, but it’s very effective.
The booklet for soldiers to study is the famous educational book "Eighth Route Army Soldiers Must Read" compiled by the Eighth Route Army Headquarters in January 1937. This book clarifies the rules and regulations for the Eighth Route Army's cultural study, introduces various learning methods, and theoretically
Developed learning standards for the vast number of soldiers!
There are 24 lessons in the textbook "Eighth Route Army Soldiers Must Read", including: "Who are we, why do we love the Eighth Route Army, why do we insist on resisting Japan, the predecessor of the Eighth Route Army, the emergence of the Eighth Route Army, the leader of the Eighth Route Army - the Communist Party, during the Civil War
The Eighth Route Army, fighting for the anti-Japanese national united front, the Eighth Route Army in the Anti-Japanese War, the political commissar system, political organs, how to be a revolutionary, a model soldier, opposing corruption, eradicating feudal remnants, getting rid of superstition, where is the world going, communism
"wait.
During the Red Army period, our party attached great importance to cultural learning. In the war years of war, the troops were always ready to go to the front line to fight. In this turbulent environment, from the regiment commander, division commander to the cook, the groom still insisted on the political and military
Studying, the whole army is like a big wartime school.
"Lao Zhou, your New Second Regiment has done a good job in political work. It is much better than our Independent Regiment. After the death of the political commissar, our Independent Regiment fell far behind in this aspect." Kong Jie said enviously.
"What the hell is there to learn? Only by increasing your fighting power can you fight the Japanese." Li Yunlong said with eyes wide open.
"Old Li, you are wrong. Our Eighth Route Army soldiers should not only pay attention to daily military training, but also change them ideologically, let them understand the culture of our party from the bottom of their hearts, and shape them ideologically. Only in this way can we
To train a strong army, it is especially important to strengthen the army ideologically." Zhou Wei said in Chinese with seriousness.
"That's nonsense. I'm uneducated and I don't know a few words. Why don't I still fight the Japanese?" Li Yunlong said nonchalantly.
"Hmph, did you, Li Yunlong, join the Red Army just because of a mouthful of food?" Zhou Weihan said loudly, somewhat unhappy.
What Zhou Weihan said was somewhat biased. When the Red Army was expanding its popularity, many people joined the Red Army because they could not afford to eat. Li Yunlong only picked up a carrying pole and joined the Red Army when he heard that someone was attacking the local tycoons.
However, our party has always been good at ideological work. After many soldiers joined the Red Army, their thinking changed and they supported the party from the bottom of their hearts. This is also the fundamental difference from other warlord teams. Li Yunlong was just a fish that slipped through the net.
The conversation between the three people caught Zhang Yuanlan's attention, and the soldiers in the supplementary battalion also turned around. Zhang Yuanlan stopped teaching, walked through the crowd, and walked over.
"Reporting to the commander, the first company of the supplementary battalion of the new second regiment is conducting cultural studies. Please give your instructions." Zhang Yuanlan saluted with a military salute.
"We just happened to come here, you continue." Zhou Weihan said.
"Captain, you have affected the learning of the soldiers." Zhang Yuanlan said dissatisfied, even when facing Zhou Weihan, the regiment leader.
"Teacher Zhang, let's leave now, you continue." Seeing Zhang Yuanlan's unreasonable look, Zhou Weihan had a headache.
"Commander, you are here. Please say a few words to your comrades."
"Comrades, can you let the group leader say a few words?" Zhang Yuanlan said loudly to the crowd.
"Say a few words, say a few words." The crowd quickly opened a gap, and Zhang Yuanlan pulled Zhou Weihan forward.
The soldiers were so enthusiastic that Zhou Weihan had no choice but to stand in front and said: "Comrades, please don't be formal and sit down."
"I just happened to catch up today, so I will say a few words. Everyone is in good spirits, and everyone is grinning like a flower. It's very good.
On the one hand, your teacher Zhang has made great contributions, on the other hand, you yourself actively accepted the Eighth Route Army and supported the Eighth Route Army in your heart."
"Captain, when I was in the puppet army, I was always beaten and scolded by my superiors. After I joined the Eighth Route Army, I was not discriminated against. I was able to eat enough. The squad leader also gave me meat to eat. It's much better than before."
A soldier said with a smile.
"That's good. Our Eighth Route Army values equality between officers and soldiers. It is the squad leader's responsibility to take care of the soldiers. If he really dares to do something, then I should punish him." Zhou Weihan said loudly.
"Haha!" The soldiers sitting there laughed loudly.
"Let me ask you, who are we in the Eighth Route Army?" Zhou Weihan asked.
"Commander, our Eighth Route Army is the people's army, that's what the textbook says." said a soldier.
"You are right, the Eighth Route Army originated from the people. We are all children of the people. Many of your comrades were sent to the army by the villagers to fight the Japanese and defend the country. The villagers usually wear simple clothes.
Those who are shrinking from food, give us your own rations so that we can eat enough, then we will have to work harder to fight the Japanese."
