Speaking of this, Ye Chao smiled and said: "Political Commissar, to be honest, I really envy the brotherly troops in the Northeast. Before setting off from Yunling, I once talked with Li Mingbo about some specific situations in the Northeast. You see, we The Anhui Army has an average of two to three light machine guns in a company and a few heavy machine guns in a regiment. In a battle, bullets have to be counted, so this can be said to be the main force."
"But in the Northeast, a squad has two submachine guns, one light machine gun, and one grenade launcher. Your company has heavy machine guns, the battalion has mortars and large-caliber machine guns, and the regiment has light and heavy mortar companies, and infantry artillery. The company, the battle defense artillery company, and the brigade have mountain artillery and anti-aircraft artillery. If the Southern Anhui army is still the millet plus rifle you mentioned, your army has basically integrated it."
"The firepower configuration of a regiment is almost as high as the six regiments of our southern Anhui army. The firepower configuration of a brigade is much stronger than the entire New Fourth Army. Good guy, you fired nearly 100,000 artillery shells in one day during the summer battle last year. This is Our entire army would not even dare to think about it.
"Our New Fourth Army, let alone mountain and field artillery, only has a few infantry guns and mortars. Before you came, when the whole army only had one team marching eastward, the few mortars we picked up were only a few rounds. Cannonballs are like eyeballs. They are not willing to use them until it is critical."
"I'm afraid that none of my previous combat experience will be of use to you. There is such a big gap. If you don't learn how to do it, if you don't say anything else, you won't be able to use a few mountain cannons, and you may not be able to use the shells. If you hit one of your own people on the head, if you have an empty weapon and you don't know how to use it, then it's better to have nothing at all. It's not a problem if you don't understand, but if you don't learn if you don't understand, that's a problem."
Regarding Ye Chao's statement, Yang Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said: "It's good if you have this mentality. When you get to the Northeast, I will arrange for you to study in the military region's intermediate cadre training team, but there is one thing I can do with you. Please make it clear that you are not done just after studying, there is a test."
"If you fail the exam at our place, then you may only be a company platoon leader and will never be promoted. Combat merit is one aspect, but military literacy is another. No matter how great your merits are, If the corresponding abilities do not meet the requirements of your new position, you will not be promoted."
"The life of each of our soldiers is precious. I cannot be irresponsible for the lives of our soldiers just because I take care of a certain person. If you are not capable, you are not good. This is not negotiable. Regarding this issue, you must have Be mentally prepared, but don't say that I will transfer you to the Northeast and not care about you when the time comes."
Ye Chao just wanted to answer Yang Zhen's words, but his words were interrupted by Zhang Zixiong who came over with a lunch box. Zhang Zixiong carried four Japanese pig kidney lunch boxes and said: "No. 1, the rice is already cooked, I will bring it to you. Yes, I just heard from Li Mingbo that Section Chief Ye is here, so I brought him the food. Also, I have already delivered the food from Sister Li’s place to her.”
After Yang Zhen and Ye Chao took the lunch boxes, Yang Zhen looked at the noodles and animal meat in his own lunch box and said: "Where did these noodles come from? The field rations your kid brought from the Northeast, how come there are still leftovers? Look. Get up, you kid has been laying ambush a lot, so if you have anything else, please contribute it."
Hearing this, Zhang Zixiong said with a smile: "No. 1, I brought these two bags of instant noodles from the Northeast. I have never been willing to use them. I thought I would keep them for you. Now we have no uncooked rice except fried rice and noodles. I wanted to make some porridge for you, but there was nothing I could do, so I took out these two bags of instant noodles."
Yang Zhen thought for a while, picked up his lunch box, and walked to Li Huilan. He looked at Li Huilan, who had been awakened, washed her hands hastily, and was about to eat the fried rice in her lunch box. Yang Zhen handed over his lunch box filled with noodles. He went over and exchanged her fried rice for it.
Li Huilan, who was about to eat, took the lunch box that Yang Zhen pushed over and couldn't help but was stunned. After looking at Yang Zhen, she was about to take her lunch box back. Yang Zhen refused her and said with a smile: "Xiao Li, this kind of noodles is We developed it ourselves when we were in the Northeast, and I'm tired of eating it, so let's change it, give me the fried rice, and give you the noodles."
After saying that, Yang Zhen picked up the lunch box and sat aside. He poured the stewed meat and soup into the lunch box. After soaking the fried rice until it was slightly soft, he ate the stewed meat in large gulps and took a few mouthfuls. , Yang Zhen turned his head and said to Zhang Zixiong next to him: "Did you kid set an ambush for me? Those little things I caught, you kid, don't think I haven't eaten deer meat."
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Zhang Zixiong said with some embarrassment: "No. 1, those things you made are really delicious, but Commander Feng Dafei insisted on giving you the deer meat, saying that the meat is nutritious. You haven't had a good rest. I'll give you some supplements." , I’m afraid you won’t be able to eat those things.”
"He is the chief, and I can't control him, so I'll give you deer deer meat. No. 1, even though this deer is about the same size as a roe deer, it's not as delicious as the roe deer in the northeast, but we don't have this kind of thing over there. , Just treat it as something fresh. No. 1, don’t tell me, there are really a lot of good things here in southern Anhui. I thought that only in the deep mountains and old forests of our northeast could there be so much game. I didn’t expect that there were so many in southern Anhui. of good stuff.”
Zhang Zixiong's answer made Yang Zhen shake his head in confusion, pointing at Zhang Zixiong and saying: "I'm afraid it's not that simple. If it's like you said, why is your face so red? Let me see your expression, No matter how you look at it, it looks like you ate my share. Otherwise, how do you know that this food is delicious? You are my guard. The deer meat that Lao Feng beat for me can get you something else. "
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Zhang Zixiong quickly waved his hands and said: "No. 1, how dare I do that? It was really Commander Feng who insisted on leaving you a small amount of deer meat. If you don't believe me, ask him. You also know, The deer looks quite big, and it can't pick out much meat. With a few deer, the meat that can be picked off is not much, less than a hundred kilograms."
"Among the things we get, deer meat is the thinnest, so Commander Feng and the others insist on giving you deer meat. He also wants to give me deer meat. However, I didn't ask for deer meat, and I don't have any." I want wild boar, that’s the meat I hunt myself, and you said it’s delicious, so there’s absolutely no problem.”
"But No. 1, you are really right. This thing is so delicious. It's just a pity that we only have salt, so the meat is a bit ruined. I feel that if I add some soy sauce when stewing the meat, add some onions, ginger and garlic to season it." If you eat it for a while, it will definitely taste better than now."
Looking at Zhang Zixiong's unfinished expression, Yang Zhen shook his head helplessly and said: "I'm really right, you kid is really a gluttonous animal. I can tell you, this food is delicious. After all, it is meat. You can't eat too much. If you become bloated, there is no medicine for you now. Also, don't eat all the good things yourself, but share them with other comrades. If you eat them all at once Now, what will others do?"
Hearing Yang Zhen's words, Zhang Zixiong smiled and said: "No. 1, it depends on what you said, am I the kind of person who eats alone? Don't worry, I will only eat one, or use the rabbit I caught in exchange for the cooking team, you Look, this is the kind of meat I gave to Sister Li, how about No. 1, I know who I should focus on taking care of."
Speaking of this, this guy said to Li Huilan on the side in a somewhat naughty manner: "Sister Li, can you tell what kind of meat is in your piece of meat? It tastes very special. Let me tell you, your piece of meat is But the one I left especially for you was caught by No. 1 myself. How does it taste?"
This guy thought that women in general don't like small animals like mice. If he guessed that the thing in her lunch box was a bamboo rat, he would be vomiting. But to his disappointment, Li Huilan turned over the meat in her lunch box. , thought for a while: "This is not rabbit meat, hare meat does not taste like this."
"Neither is the meat of wild boar. The meat of wild boar is too thick. It doesn't look like this at all. It's not like deer meat. Deer meat is thicker than this, but the taste is quite fragrant. It always feels very familiar. It seems like it is somewhere. I’ve eaten it before, but the taste is a little different from what I’ve eaten before.”
Having said this, she looked at the surrounding bamboo forest and suddenly laughed and said: "It can't be a bamboo rat. If so, it would really be a blessing. This is a rare mountain treasure, especially this kind of pure wild one. It’s rare. I wonder why it’s different from what I ate in the past. It’s hard to find this thing in the city.”
"I have been in Wannan to join the army for a few years. Although there are bamboo forests everywhere here, it is so difficult to catch this thing. This is the first time I have eaten this kind of thing. It is so delicious. Xiao Zhang, thank you for still thinking of you, Li Sister, keep such delicious food for you, Sister Li."
"To be honest, I really didn't expect that the political commissar actually had such skills. You must know that although this thing is delicious, it is very difficult to catch. Generally, only old hunters in the mountains can catch it. The political commissar is from the north and has never been to the south. It’s really rare to know how to catch this thing.”
After saying that, she was so excited that she grabbed a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. It seemed that Li Huilan was really hungry and encountered a rare delicacy. She even ignored her image and grabbed the bamboo rat meat in the lunch box to eat. He was gobbling it down, and he didn't feel sick at all because it was a rat.
Looking at Li Huilan who was devouring the food, he originally thought that after guessing what this thing was, she would be like an ordinary girl who would vomit after knowing that she was eating rat meat. Zhang Zixiong was dumbfounded at the time. He did not expect that Li Huilan This woman actually knows this delicious little animal that few people have heard of, and she also has the same tone as the political commissar,
Zhang Zixiong was just dumbfounded by the behavior of Li Huilan and other women after hearing what he was eating, but Yang Zhen on the side heard some different flavors from her words and looked at the delicious food in front of him. Li Huilan and Yang Zhen didn't say anything.
After gently placing the reply message he had prepared in his hand next to her, he simply said: "After dinner, send this telegram to the military commander as soon as possible. We are about to leave." After saying this. After saying this, Yang Zhen said nothing more. Without waiting for Li Huilan's reply, he turned around and left quietly without saying another word.
