Zhou Weihan returned to the headquarters of the New Second Regiment that day, and it was already evening.
Zhou Weihan entered the room aggressively, took off his armed belt, and placed it on the table with a "snap". He picked up Zhao Gang's tea jar on the table and drank happily.
"Hey, why are you like this, using other people's things casually?" Zhao Gang glanced at Zhou Weihan and said dissatisfied.
"What's the matter, is your name written on the teapot? If you say it's yours, it's yours?" Zhou Weihan felt aggrieved when he thought about what happened today, and he vented his anger on Zhao Gang.
"Then look at the bottom of the teapot and see if my name is written on it!" Zhao Gang said in a nonchalant manner.
Zhou Weihan raised the teapot and took a look, hey, it really has Zhao Gang's name written on it. He turned to face Zhao Gang's smiling face that seemed to be there, and he became even more angry.
Zhou Weihan's face darkened, and he opened his mouth to say goodbye to Zhao Gang.
"Old Zhou, who is provoking you? What problems did you find when you went down to inspect today?" Zhao Gang also noticed something was wrong with Zhou Weihan at this time, so he spoke first and asked with concern.
"Who provoked me? No one provoked me. I just don't like you. Last time..." Zhou Weihan opened up old scores and kept talking.
Zhao Gang glanced at the guard at the door. Although guard Xiao Li was not old, he was very smart and understood Zhao Gang's meaning instantly. He was already used to the small quarrels between the regiment leader and the political commissar.
Security guard Xiao Li immediately went to the security squad to learn about the situation.
"Don't worry about this matter. The leader gave us a hush-hush order on his way back and we are not allowed to reveal this matter." Yang Bo said cautiously.
"Why should I take care of it? This matter was ordered by the political commissar. He saw the regiment leader getting angry and asked me to come over and understand the situation so that I could prescribe the right medicine and enlighten the regiment leader." Xiao Li, the guard, said matter-of-factly.
"Well... okay, I'll tell you, don't spread this matter outside..." Yang Bo said in a low voice.
After hearing this, Xiao Li's expression was extremely exciting: "Is this true?"
"How can we still have a lie? Okay, go back and tell the political commissar."
At this time in the room, Zhao Gang was sitting facing the door, while Zhou Weihan was sitting with his back to the door, still chattering.
Xiao Li stood at the door, and Zhao Gang picked up the teapot on the table and said kindly: "Old Zhou, after talking for so long, you must be thirsty. I'll pour you some water. You can continue talking after a while,
I accept criticism."
As he spoke, he walked to the table at the door, picked up the kettle, and filled the teapot with water.
Xiao Li took this opportunity to briefly report to Zhao Gang what he had just learned. When he heard that Zhou Weihan was tied up, his hands shook involuntarily, and hot water was poured directly on the back of Zhao Gang's hands.
"Hey!" Zhao Gang let out a scream, and Zhou Weihan immediately turned around and said, "What's wrong?"
"I accidentally let the hot water burn me. It's okay." Zhao Gang said nonchalantly.
"Look at you, you can't even pour water." Zhou Weihan was concerned in his heart, but reproached him in his mouth.
"Xiao Li, go to the medical clinic and get some badger seed oil for the political commissar. Apply it and it will stop the pain." Zhou Weihan ordered.
"No need, just perm it and it will be fine in two days."
"Come on, don't burn our political commissar Zhao. It will be bad if it delays the work." Zhou Weihan said.
Security guard Xiao Li turned around and ran away.
"Hey, you are just like a landlord, thinking about exploiting my labor force all day long." Zhao Gang laughed and scolded.
"You're not sulky anymore?" Zhao Gang saw Zhou Weihan's expression softening slightly and stepped forward to ask.
"Who is sulking? Are we the kind of people who hold it in? I will vent my anger on you." Zhou Weihantian said shamelessly.
Zhao Gang laughed angrily at Zhou Weihan's expression: "You are so fucking shameless. You are the leader of a regiment, and you do such a thing."
"Hey, aren't you, Lao Zhao, a political commissar? He's the best at ideological work. Who else would he be looking for if not you?" Zhou Weihan was in a good mood and said with a smile.
"You also said that you, the leader of the regiment, would not be embarrassed if you were kidnapped by one of your own." Zhao Gang and Zhou Weihan have been together for a long time, and they have learned to expose others' shortcomings.
"Hey, are you interesting? Do you have to talk about this? It's a good thing that the guerrilla fighters are more vigilant." Zhou Weihan said dissatisfied.
"You are okay, and you are still sitting here and being angry with me. If something happens to you, what will happen to the thousands of people in our group? Are there not many who will be accidentally injured by our own people?" Zhao Gang asked.
"Okay, Lao Zhao, you have said this so many times that my ears are scratched." Zhou Weihan quickly stopped Zhao Gang.
"After all, you are wearing the uniform of the Eighth Route Army this time, and no one will attack you. If you were wearing the clothes of a puppet army or a Japs, you would have met the King of Hell long ago," Zhao Gang said.
In this era, many local comrades held important positions undercover for the Japs and puppet troops, raising food, weapons and equipment for the Eighth Route Army or carrying out troop transportation work.
Some are insiders developed by local comrades themselves, and some are developed by the enemy's Ministry of Industry.
In order to protect these comrades, only a few people often know about it. In addition, the local government and the army are two separate lines, so misunderstandings are inevitable.
"Let me tell you something else. The Fourth Company of the Second Battalion in Yongping, southern Hebei Province. Some time ago, they failed to capture a stronghold and kidnapped a family member of a puppet army officer. It turned out that the puppet army officer was a local comrade.
Fortunately, the local comrades responded promptly and no casualties were caused." Zhao Gang said with lingering fear.
"This matter must be resolved, otherwise it will be bad for my comrades." Zhou Weihan said anxiously.
"I have asked Comrade Wang Ying to send someone to southern Hebei to be responsible for contacting local comrades," Zhao Gang said.
The two companies of the New Second Regiment in southern Hebei were to take the lead and lay the foundation for the future large forces to march into southern Hebei. However, they were not familiar with the place, so there was such a misunderstanding.
"This time I went to inspect each company and found problems. Each company has grown too fast. On the surface, there are too many people. It's hard to say whether the combat effectiveness can be maintained." Zhou Weihan said with a solemn expression.
"Another point is the issue of the recruits' ideological work. I suggest that each company return to the regiment headquarters in batches for rotation training, and conduct an in-depth inspection to see if each company's military training and ideological work are in place, so as to avoid ideological decline at the root." Zhao Gang
said.
Zhou Weihan nodded, deeply convinced. After all, the companies of the Second and Third Battalions had not been with the regiment for a long time. They were used to the life of a local emperor, so it was time to teach them a lesson.
The golden signboard of the New Second Regiment works too well in Wuyi and Wu'an. Sometimes it is not a good thing to go too smoothly. It is inevitable that it will suffer big losses in the future.
"This afternoon, the brigade headquarters sent a message that during the competition between the three regiments, the deputy chief of staff and the chief of the training section of the headquarters will come to make you ready," Zhao Gang said.
"Really? This incident alarmed the headquarters?" Zhou Weihan said in surprise.
It was mainly Zhou Weihan, Li Yunlong and the others who caused quite a stir. First, vigorous selections were held within each regiment. When the passing brother troops asked, they found out that the three regiments had engaged in a big competition.
