The observation and study group organized by the General Headquarters of the National Revolutionary Army returned to the city in the sunset. Before leaving, General Galen cordially received the officers and soldiers of the Third Company of the First Battalion of the Independent Regiment, and took a group photo with Lieutenant Chu Xianzhi, the demolition instructor of the Third Company, to commemorate the
He is fast and
He was full of praise for his accurate blasting technology. In his farewell speech, he said a compliment that made the military generals very jealous, but made Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek and the generals of the First Army extremely proud: "Model Battalion" is the most vital and creative in the revolutionary army.
The vanguard!
The next day, this precious photo was immediately published on the front page of "Nanchang Daily". The caption on the left side of the photo quoted General Gallen's praise and added the eye-catching slogan "Model in the Revolutionary Army - Model Camp"
headline, and published a wonderful narrative of the entire interview by a newspaper reporter. The reputation of the "Model Camp" spread across the country overnight and became a hot topic among countless soldiers and civilians. The new professional branch of engineers once again aroused the attention of all armies.
Pay attention to.
The only flaw is that General Gallen in the photo is too strong. Chu Xianzhi, who is only 1.59 meters tall, has straightened his spine as much as possible, still like a child leaning against an adult.
After lunch, An Yi, who was full of joy, also put down the newspaper and praised Chu Xianzhi's skills. He was very proud of having such a treasure.
Hearing the footsteps outside the door and seeing Huang Hanqian, the company deputy and instructor of the 3rd Battalion and 3rd Company, striding into the middle courtyard, An Yi quickly stopped him: "Hanqian, have you eaten?"
Upon hearing the sound, Huang Hanqian immediately strode into An Yi's door, saluted and replied in a low voice: "I'm not hungry yet, I have to ask instructor Yin for information on field construction management, and then rush back to start my company's twenty-day strong work."
training.”
"Let's sit down for a while. Ji Nan goes to the Second Battalion in the east of the city to do some work. He won't be back until later... Are you used to it when you are in the company? If you have any difficulties or ideas, please tell me. My brothers and sisters should not be so intrusive."
An Yi took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, handed half a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches to Huang Hanqian, and looked at this man with a smile who had just been allocated a few days with the eleven Huangpu fourth-term trainees and Chaozhou branch trainees.
A senior from Huangpu Phase 4 Political Science Department.
Twenty-three-year-old Huang Hanqian lit up his cigarette and took a deep puff, exhaling a large puff of smoke and sighing loudly: "Coming to the Independence Regiment is like returning to your own home. Compared with the days when I was a trainee in the Seventh Army a few months ago, it is like a different place."
The heavens and the earth are so different! Even I, a native of Guangxi Province, can't stand it, let alone those brothers and sisters from other provinces."
An Yi smiled helplessly, knowing that Huang Hanqian and one hundred and seventy-six fourth-term brothers entered the Seventh Army for internship. After fierce battles, only ninety-four people were left and they were all driven back in the end. He
I definitely feel bad.
Regarding the Seventh Army's xenophobia, An Yi had no choice but to comfort him kindly: "It doesn't matter if you come back, I am short of talents in the political, cavalry, and artillery departments. People like you can stay in General Li Zongren's army."
A person who has been beaten for four months can’t be found even by holding a lantern."
Huang Hanqian waved his hand: "Stop talking, I'm so angry when I talk about it! Xiao Yi, do you know what I do in the Seventh Army? Carrying machines... It's the kind of radio station assisted by the Russians. Now the radio stations outside are all
It has been miniaturized, but I and four brothers from the Political Section have to lead a platoon of soldiers to serve the huge broken machine that needs to be repaired several times a day.
It took sixteen people to lift it out, eight people to lift the main engine, and eight people to lift the generator. It was as heavy as a hill. A Russian technician in his thirties who had been drunk all day followed him, repairing and lifting it out as he went.
I had to change crews every few miles, and finally stopped to set up camp. The machine was broken again. Sometimes I could only receive reports but not send them. Sometimes I could only send reports but not receive them. I spent most of the time repairing them.
All the officers in the military department have hot tempers. I and a few of my brothers are scolded all day long like grandsons. What kind of life do people live there? I’m not afraid of your jokes. I didn’t even touch a gun in the Seventh Army. However, not to mention learning to lead troops at the grassroots level. The intern brothers in the infantry and artillery departments are better. They can go to the company for training, but they die miserably. The officers and soldiers of the Seven Seventh Army fight without risking their lives. They just come and go. Break through the center and outflank both sides. Otherwise, they will attack fiercely to see who can survive. Once the fighting begins, they will fight for a whole day without eating or drinking. When the enemy is tired, they suddenly send out a new force to attack from the flanks. Not many enemies can withstand this. This is the only experience I learned in the Seventh Army."
An Yi laughed loudly. After laughing, he saw Huang Hanqian's frowning face, and he felt a little apologetic: "Don't blame me, I just have this personality, I like to laugh, haha... Let me tell you, the Munitions Department of the headquarters originally left me a This kind of radio station aided by Russia, I was quietly told that it was brand new. Early that morning, I happily ran to the munitions warehouse in the city like a thief. I followed Director Yu and slipped into the warehouse. When I saw that the radio station was like a hill, The machine was so frightened that I couldn’t speak. Director Yu kept urging me to get rid of it quickly, lest others find out that there was still one left. I immediately turned around and ran away, shouting loudly that I didn’t want it. Now, I don’t care if Director Yu scolds me, haha... Is that thing for people? It’s as big as a truck with four wheels removed. Can I afford to serve it? I’d rather spend more money. I don’t want money to buy new ones, and I don’t want to buy anything from the Russians, so I just want to laugh when you say it, haha..."
Huang Hanqian also laughed: "Xiaoyi, I was listening to the principal's lecture in the city that day. Thousands of brothers and sisters were sitting there, and there were about 300 people returning from various armies. Everyone wanted to go to your model camp, and I didn't even think about it. The second person in the background has no skills. He studied political science, which is useless, and he doesn’t even dare to think about joining your group. How did you choose me?"
An Yi put away his smile and sighed: "To tell you the truth, how do I have the qualifications to choose someone? Besides, they are all my senior brothers in this term. How do you want me to choose? You are the same as the other eleven senior brothers. They are all recommended by our division chief, Director He of the military department, and Mr. Yu from the headquarters. I accept them all without hesitation.
In addition to the division commander, chief of staff, and several other formal officers transferred by Deputy Division Commander Jiang, all twelve division brothers are arranged to serve as company deputy and instructors, and you will be transferred to the formal officer establishment at once. Other regiments may not be so quick. .You were recommended to me personally by Chief Zhang Zhizhong, so I paid special attention to it, because Chief Zhang is also my mentor, and I can trust you in his eyes.
It will be good for you to work for a year and a half in Chen Zhibiao's Engineer Company of the Third Battalion. But don't underestimate the engineers. You will know after working for a few months. If you can be a company commander in our Engineer Company, you will definitely You are qualified to serve as the battalion commander of other regiments, because our engineer company is different from other armies, forcing you to calculate manpower and material resources all day long. When making overall plans, you also have to find ways to save the lives of yourself and your brothers.
Ji Nan, Hu Hu, Chen Zhibiao, Chen Kan, Xia Jian, Yang Fei, Mu Zhuiyi and I all came here in this way. You should have seen the engineers of the Third Battalion led by Chen Zhibiao in the past few days when you visited the Third Battalion. The company is capable of fighting, its professional skills are first-rate, and its military quality is higher than the other two infantry companies, and it can compete with the machine gun company composed of veterans.
Think about it, if you were asked to lead a company out to fight a battle, which of the companies in the third battalion would you choose?"
Huang Hanqian suddenly realized: "I understand. I started to see that the regiment headquarters did not have a combat, political and other staff team. I was surprised. It turns out that it is like this. No wonder you put us in the company... I know what I should do. ,Thank you, Xiaoyi!"
"What should I thank you for, brother? You will have a deeper understanding after fighting more battles, and I have a hunch that if a person like you who graduated from the Political Science Department does not transfer to an agency affiliated to the party or a local government, it will be difficult for him to have anything in the future. It’s a big breakthrough. Let’s work first, accumulate some military merit, and then go to study the military profession for a year and a half. When you come back, you will be able to do anything, and it’s justified." An Yi cleverly advised.
Huang Hanqian nodded: "This is a good idea, I will work hard in this direction."
An Yi smiled, turned to Yin Jinan who came in and said, "Han Gan came to see you, and he hasn't eaten yet."
Yin Jinan smiled and said hello, and then said: "I haven't eaten either. Lao Ye's Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine is too bland and I'm not used to it. Come on, Han Gan, let's go to the cooking class to see what's left. , let’s talk while eating.”
An Yi nodded to Huang Hanqian who was saluting. After smoking a cigarette, he stood up and walked to the next door. He saw the young doctor sitting beside Shen Xiangfeng's bed chatting lively. He coughed lightly and walked to the bedside. He smiled as usual and asked: "How are you feeling today?"
Chen Xiangfeng looked at An Yi quietly, with no emotion or joy on his face: "It's much better. I can hold on to the wall to go to the latrine in the early morning. Thank you!"
"You're welcome. I'm happy for you when I see you recovering so quickly... Little doctor, if there is no good medicine in the group, just ride into the city. There are several large pharmacies around Nanchang Youmin Temple that have a complete range of traditional Chinese medicine." An Yi After saying that, he nodded to Chen Xiangfeng and turned to leave.
Chen Xiangfeng sat up slowly and took a sip from the teacup handed to him by the young man: "Is your captain usually like this?"
"Our regiment leader is kind to everyone, but there are differences. He is unrestrained and even scolds his own brothers, but he is very polite and polite to outsiders. When fighting, it is completely different. He can use the best method to Victory was achieved with the lowest casualties. When encountering tough battles, he always rushed to the front and never left the hotel. In addition to socializing three meals a day, he was the same as Quanhe brothers. No one in the whole regiment disobeyed him. Even if it was not a formal occasion, the brothers would not care about our regiment. He is called Boss, and the officers assigned to him in the military academy call him by his name or Xiaoyi in private, and he is happy and has no objections and no airs."
The young man took the tea cup from Chen Xiangfeng's hand and put it on the table aside.
Chen Xiangfeng, whose head was completely swollen and regained his stern appearance, frowned slightly: "Mei Sheng, Hutou just came back last night, and he went out again before dawn today. What are you busy with?"
Li Meisheng smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Shen, I really don't know. Even if I know, I can't tell you. This is military discipline. Brother Shen, you can go home after a few more days. The regiment leader said we The independent regiment will soon go to Zhejiang, and my younger brother is still in the military, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help Brother Shen.
In fact, Brother Shen, your medical skills are a hundred times better than that of my younger brother. An ordinary myogenic extract, with just a few herbs added to adjust the compatibility, is a hundred times more sophisticated than the prescription passed down from my Li family. It will benefit my younger brother for life...Brother Shen , you should take a nap, I have to go to the east courtyard in front to change the dressings for the brothers."
Chen Xiangfeng watched the young man leave, slowly lay down and closed his eyes. The experience of the past half month, An Yi's smile, and even every word were lingering in his mind.
