Fang Zheng's movements did not escape Mo Zhengmin's eyes.
Mo Zhengmin put down his cigarette, leaned up from the bed, stared at Fang Zheng, and said bitterly: "My team has been reorganized by you, why, do you still want to shoot me?"
Fang Zheng was an old Red Army cadre who had joined the Red Army since the Pingjiang Uprising. After crossing the Xiangjiang River, he was one of the first batch to be transferred from the Third Red Army Corps to the Eighteenth Red Army Regiment. He has learned a lot from Liu Yimin in the past few years. Just now, at first glance
Seeing Mo Zhengmin smoking, he couldn't bear it, so he reached for the pistol in desperation. Now seeing that Mo Zhengmin saw through his actions just now, he knew that he was reckless, which made Mo Zhengmin suspicious.
Fang Zheng simply sat down on the bed, took off his military cap, scratched his hair, and said sheepishly: "Old Mo, to be honest, when I saw you smoking a cigarette just now, I immediately remembered the discipline of our Eighth Route Army.
, I couldn't help but touch the gun. Of course it's my fault, but you are also responsible. Our army does not allow smoking. You are now the deputy chief of staff of our fifth teaching brigade. As my superior, you should take the lead.
Observe the disciplines of our army and set an example for your comrades. I think you need to stop talking. If you don't, you may not be able to pass the test when you meet the division commander in the future!"
If Fang Zheng had used his sweet words to cover it up, Mo Zhengmin would have been even more disgusted. He might have thought that the Eighth Route Army was just like other armies, and that they were all masters who ate meat but did not spit out their bones. When Fang Zheng told the truth, Mo Zhengmin became even more disgusted.
I felt that this man was quite a man and he was brave enough to take action, so he said: "I got addicted to cigarettes in Zhang Zongchang's army. I was young at the time. When I saw those officials smoking, I thought it was a symbol of power.
, I got infected by going back and forth.”
Guo Zihua saw that although Mo Zhengmin was angry, he was speaking the truth. Knowing that this conversation would be easy to handle, he asked Fang Zheng to introduce the instructor's situation to Mo Zhengmin in detail.
Mo Zhengmin can be regarded as a figure because he can pull up a team. During this time, I also heard that there is a unit of the Eighth Route Army that is particularly good at fighting, and its number is the Instructor. But that was just a hearsay, and now he knows that he has become the most famous person in China.
The subordinates of Liu Yimin, the God of War, once again witnessed the power of the fifth teaching brigade when they wiped out the Japanese army and Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun. Even if they were angry, they did not dare to say anything and could only smoke heavily. After listening to Fang Zheng's comprehensive introduction to the teachings, they did not dare to say anything.
Mo Zhengmin's thoughts gradually changed regarding his mentor's situation, and he began to yearn for his mentor's legendary struggle.
After Fang Zheng introduced the situation of the instructor, he said to Mo Zhengmin: "Old Mo, let me tell you the truth, you may still feel that the troops have been incorporated by us, which is equivalent to pulling your monkey. You think our army
What you are doing is not genuine, it is annexing friendly forces. But I want to tell you, our army has incorporated your troops, it is for the sake of friendly forces who are also fighting the Japanese, and to help you. With your equipment and training level, in our
Among the instructors, not to mention compared with our main force, it is our army responsible for logistics and transportation. It is no problem for one to defeat three of you. Let me say something arrogant again, let alone your current 2,200 people, it is your 5,000 people.
They are all here. If you really pull them out to fight, the regiments and battalions of the first-class teaching brigade of our army can defeat you in half an hour. A unit like yours is a new regiment at best, and it has not yet passed.
A newly trained regiment. You also saw the collapse the day before yesterday. If this situation were left to our main team, it would be unbelievable. Even if our army fights to the last man, it will not give up its position and collapse. Look again
Look at our soldiers, they are basically there for the sound of gunshots, but your soldiers can't stand up to the Japanese even after ten shots. Tell me, why do we want to annex troops like yours?"
Mo Zhengmin thought about the same truth, but he still turned his head and muttered: "You said it so beautifully, didn't you just reorganize my troops?"
Fang Zheng laughed: "Old Mo, is this the truth? I tell you, the purpose of reorganizing your troops is to train you into a first-class main force so that you can fight the Japanese. Do you think I am willing to do this?
Political commissar of the Second Independent Regiment? The 13th Regiment is the main force of the entire brigade. In battles, one always attacks in front and retreats from behind. That battle was so enjoyable! Now it’s better. I have become the political commissar of the Lunan Second Independent Regiment.
, but they have to stay here to train the troops. It’s hard to say when they can go to the battlefield. Don’t talk about me, look at Commander Qi Fengnian, he almost fainted. His first battalion went to fight, but he stayed here
I'm here with a bunch of new recruits doing recruit training, do you think it's irritating or not?"
Mo Zhengmin retorted: "It's pointless to say that. You don't want to be the regiment commander. The political commissar is easy to handle. Just leave. This army is mine. It's not impossible to reorganize it into the Eighth Route Army. If you don't let me be the brigade commander, why don't you let me be the brigade commander?"
You can always be the commander of the regiment, right? Then you asked me to be the deputy chief of staff. Do you think this is not taking away my military power? "
When Fang Zheng heard this, he said: "Old Mo, I have to talk to you about this. I just told you about the instructor's situation. You should know what kind of army our Eighth Route Army is. The principle of our army is that the party commands the gun, no matter what
Cadres of all levels must obey organizational arrangements. You are a new comrade who has just joined the army. It is normal to have this idea. If you still have this idea in the future, then I tell you that it is not okay! Don't talk about the Eighth Route Army. Look at the Central Army.
Who dares to say that the army commander, corps commander, division commander, or brigade commander is his own? Who dares to say that he will not obey Chiang Kai-shek's dispatch? Only those warlords who regard the army as their own private armed forces will have such an idea as you
Whether it is the Communist Party or the Kuomintang, they all want to defeat the warlords. Don’t think that you should be appointed as the Deputy Chief of Staff of the Fifth Brigade, Qu Cai. Do you know that our Chief of Staff, Comrade Zhang Yicheng, is our old Chief of Staff?
Since the beginning of the Red 18th Regiment, he has been the specific planner of each battle plan. You don’t know how much you can learn from following him! Besides, you turned out to be Zhang Buyun’s special agent company commander. Look at how you commanded the battle in Xiazhuang Town.
Your level is simply too bad. You are not qualified to be a regiment commander or brigade commander. Now that you join our army and become the brigade deputy chief of staff of the regular army, isn’t it more honorable than your guerrilla commander? You
Look at the cadres above the battalion commander level in our army. Which one did not fight all the way from Jinggang Mountain? Even those company commanders, platoon leaders and even some old squad leaders and old combat team leaders are all the backbones who participated in the Long March.
I can't tell you about your qualifications in other armies. In the instructor's department, you are definitely promoted too high. If others don't say it, just compare me with you. Are you more literate than me or can you fight better than me? But
Now you are my leader, at least you are on the same level as me. Think about it, what were you doing when I was fighting for the poor? Aren't you just following Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Buyun to harm the common people? I'll make it clear again
One point, if it weren’t for the active efforts of our underground party, could your small army of 30 people have grown into a force of 5,000 people so quickly? In this sense, we are not adapting your army, we are developing it through training and training of our party
Local armed forces. Do you agree with what I said?"
Although Fang Zheng's words are unpleasant, they are absolutely true. Historically, Mo Zhengmin's army only had five or six people at first, and later a small army of 30 people was formed. At this time, Wang Naizheng and Wang Dongnian reported to the Rizhao County Party Committee, demanding that they and Mo Zhengmin
After receiving the approval, the party organization in Rizhao County mobilized party members, activists and young students to join Mo's army to expand it in a short period of time. Later, Mo Zhengmin's army joined Gao Shuxun's army with the approval of the party organization.
After arriving in northwest Shandong, another party purge took place, and the army was really controlled by Mo Zhengmin. Now that Mo Zhengmin's army has been reorganized by the Eighth Route Army, it is impossible for him to join Gao Shuxun's department, and it is impossible for him to surrender again. However, what Fang Zheng said
The facts are always good.
Mo Zhengmin was slapped on the head and face by Fang Zheng, and he was scolded. He said every word that hurt him, his face was white and he was speechless.
When Fang Zheng saw Mo Zhengmin talking, he knew that what he just said was on point, so he continued to give strong medicine: "I heard that during the battle at Maojiayan, before our army arrived, you ordered the white flag to be surrendered. I said Lao Mo,
Your head is filled with water, isn't it? Don't you even understand the saying "It's better to be broken than to be whole?" That surrender is a traitor. You have also seen the fate of traitors. Look at our attitude towards Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun.
? Let me tell you, our army not only saved lives, but also saved the reputation of the older generations of your family. You have to think carefully, should you get up and follow us to train the troops to fight the Japanese, or should you just hide in the house and smoke a big cigarette?
, it’s good to be in a good mood!”
Guo Zihua stood there and said nothing at all. He watched how Fang Zheng was doing Mo Zhengmin's ideological work. After listening for a long time, he saw that Fang Zheng adopted the method of going straight to the point and explaining the problem thoroughly. Considering that they were both soldiers, this method might still work.
Very useful.
Sure enough, Mo Zhengmin, who had been taught a lesson, finally figured it out. Neither the Eighth Route Army of the Communist Party nor Chiang Kai-shek's Central Army were allowed to support their own troops. I am afraid that Marshal Zhang's tactics will not work now. Besides,
The Eighth Route Army can be regarded as benevolent and righteous. Although the words are ugly, they are said in the open. That's enough! I left Zhang Buyun because I didn't want to be a traitor. The purpose of joining the team was to fight the Japanese. It's okay to follow the Eighth Route Army. These people look like they are causing big trouble.
, maybe we can really defeat the Japs! But I’m afraid I can’t smoke the big cigarettes, and I can’t play with the money. I can’t imagine treating the troops as my own as before. The troops have been reorganized, and the remaining
What can I do as a mere commander? If I annoy the Eighth Route Army, I might be held responsible for ordering the white flag to be raised! Forget it, let’s just follow the Eighth Route Army’s arrangements! After all, they saved me, if they had come a little later
, his troops will either surrender and become traitors, or they will be completely wiped out by the Japanese and puppet troops and fall into the hands of Liu Heiqi and Zhang Buyun. I am afraid that no one will talk to me so seriously for so long.
Thinking of this, Mo Zhengmin put the smoke gun in his hand on the Kang table and looked at the smoke lamp again with some nostalgia.
When Guo Zihua saw Mo Zhengmin's eyes looking at the cigarette lantern, he knew what he was thinking. He walked over and picked up Mo Zhengmin's cigarette gun, looked at it, and then glanced at his cigarette lantern before saying, "Lin Zexu is in Humen."
When cigarettes were banned, the Chinese people already knew that cigarettes were a drug that weakened the will and depleted the body. Anyone with any ambition would not smoke it. Now not only our Eighth Route Army does not want people who smoke cigarettes, but also none of Chiang Kai-shek’s Huangpu clique officers
No one in the Japanese army smoked, and no one in the armies of the world's major powers smoked. I say Comrade Mo Zhengmin, to join the Eighth Route Army, you must first join the army mentally. I think you should start by quitting smoking!"
Mo Zhengmin sighed and said, "Let's go, I'll organize training with you. I won't smoke this cigarette anymore. Anyone who smokes again will be a bastard!"
Fang Zheng immediately took a step forward, held Mo Zhengmin's hand and said, "Old Mo, you are welcome to join the Eighth Route Army!"
Mo Zhengmin grinned: "You can kill any living person! I joined the team just to fight the Japanese. I also saw how the Eighth Route Army fought the Japanese. From now on, I will follow the Eighth Route Army to fight the Japanese, and I promise to obey orders and obey the command."
!”
Both Guo Zihua and Fang Zheng knew that there was still a lot of work to be done in order for Mo Zhengmin to truly become the Eighth Route Army. However, this was a good start. I believe that Mo Zhengmin would truly understand our army and truly integrate into our army in the future.
The conversation that followed was very pleasant. Guo Zihua, Fang Zheng and Mo Zhengmin talked about Zhang Zongchang and Zhang Buyun. As soon as the topic changed, Mo Zhengmin's chat box opened up and he told many anecdotes about Zhang Zongchang.
Knowing how many concubines he has, not knowing how many guns he has, not knowing how much money he has, the "three ignorances" problem, and the shameless problem of calling Guo Songling daddy, Sun Chuanfang hired all the brothels, casinos, and wine markets in Shanghai to please him
Questions about those clients who went to brothels and shouted, "Let's go sleep with Zhang Zongchang's wife" and so on. Those who said this were salivating, and those who listened were also interested. Finally, Guo Zihua remembered what Zhang Zongchang did back then.
I recited the poem on the spot: "Looking at Mount Tai from a distance, it's dark, thin at the top and thick at the bottom. It's like turning Mount Tai upside down, thin at the bottom and thick at the top." Fang Zheng laughed with tears streaming down his face.
Seeing Fang Zheng laughing so hard, Guo Zihua recited Zhang Zongchang's "Visiting Penglai Pavilion": "What a Penglai Pavilion, it's really good. If gods can come, I'll take a seat. I'll put some wine by the window.
Sing loudly to the sea. Come and guess a few punches, my brother-in-law is afraid of drinking too much!"
This time, not to mention Founder, even Mo Zhengmin couldn't stop laughing.
After they had finished laughing, Guo Zihua said: "In short, Zhang Zongchang is a bastard. He still owes us a blood debt. He is responsible for the Qingdao tragedy. How can such a bastard be able to run rampant in China for so long?
It’s really China’s tragedy!”
Mo Zhengmin's problem is temporarily solved, and the problem of the surviving officers of the Mo Department will be easier to handle. Guo Zihua plans to let them participate in the army's grievance campaign in Ju County, and after initially reforming their minds, they will be sent to Yimeng Center
Go to the base area and participate in the study class of the first branch of the Anti-Japanese University to comprehensively improve your political and military qualities.
While the fifth teaching brigade was engaged in the Xiazhuang battle, Zeng Zhongsheng and Cai Zhong led the Tai'an detachment and the troops directly under the teaching division also moved to between Dawenkou and Beijipo, hiding and waiting.
