Hejian County, the headquarters of the Central Field Group, Ye Zhen looked at the two young people in front of him, laughed and walked towards the two, patted one of them on the shoulder and said: "Our little hero has finally come to report, good boy, this time you are really famous, do you know, the people of the entire Eastern Army talk about your plum blossoms, but they all give a thumbs up, praise a good man, enough friends!" ”

Mei Hua looked embarrassed, looked at Ye Zhen, and felt a faint pain in her buttocks, "Commander, can you stop mentioning this matter." He squirmed.

"How can you not mention it?" Ye Zhen said with a smile: "Although it is said that your behavior is not allowed by the law, and it is not allowed by the military law, but every soldier in the Eastern Army is proud of you, with a comrade-in-arms like you, the big guy goes to the battlefield to kill the enemy, so he really has no worries, otherwise you think that you have mixed up with the plan of the Supervision Yuan, how can the governor let you go?" ”

poked Mei Hua's head, Ye Zhen said: "Everything is divided into two sides, you have received a hundred military sticks for this, which can be regarded as a strict military discipline, but you did not pick up your military uniform, and you did not even remove your official position, it is because you relieved all the soldiers and made our army more cohesive, and the merits and demerits were offset!" ”

"Then, that stupid company commander also lost his official position because of my business!" Mei Hua was a little aggrieved.

Ye Zhen laughed, this Mei Hua is still younger after all, Yang Dasha was punished by the governor, there are many reasons here, Mei Hua's matter is just an excuse, but this is good, let this kid feel that he owes Yang Dasha a favor.

"You only have half a year." Turning around, Ye Zhen took out two bags of files from the big case behind him, "The materials of the third and fourth battalions of the Young Guards are all in it, and now they are officially handed over to the two of you, in half a year, what the governor wants to see is a strong army, can you do it?" ”

Mei Hua grinned, "Commander Ye." At the beginning, Wu Ya and I went from an ordinary big-headed soldier to a qualified red-clothed guard in less than two months, and now we have six months, which is enough. ”

Ye Zhen nodded, "Young people are motivated, I like it, by the way, I heard that the two of you are still Uncle Lang, Yi Bin came to me yesterday and talked about the two of you." Very interesting. ”

Mei Hua looked proud, "Yes, I just married Wu Ya's sister, and now I am his brother-in-law." ”

Wu Ya on the side looked unhappy, and said with a dark face: "I won't let you just because you are my brother-in-law, wait, my fourth battalion will make your third battalion disgraced." ”

"Really? Then we'll see. Mei Hua took the file of the third battalion with a smile and raised it at Wu Ya.

"Ten cadets from the Jishi Military University for each of your battalions arrived in the river yesterday. Later, you will go and take them with you to the barracks. These ten people were originally excellent people in various units, and with them helping you two, you should save a lot of effort. ”

"Yes. Commander, we take our leave. ”

"Go, go, go." Ye Zhen waved his hand, "As soon as the military needs are met, Wu Junshou and I have already arranged it." It will be delivered to your station on time. You don't need to be distracted by these things, just train your soldiers well in one thing. ”

"Thank you, Commander." The two saluted Ye Zhen and took two steps back. Turning around and walking towards the gate, when he walked to the door, Mei Hua suddenly turned around again, looked at Ye Zhen, and said very seriously: "Commander, thank you." ”

"You've already thanked you."

"No, it was a business before, but this time it was a private matter, if it wasn't for the commander's generous protection, I would really be unlucky." Mei Hua said seriously.

Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, this Mei Hua is a person who is in love, of course, if he is not a person who is in love, there will be no such thing as Dafang County's horse breaking Gong Dezhi's gate angrily.

The 3rd and 4th Battalions of the 1st Division of the Young Guards were stationed 50 miles away from Hejian County, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there was only one way out. All the soldiers were recruited in batches and sent to this place one after another, under closed management, and outsiders had no way of knowing the specific situation in this valley.

Standing at the entrance of the valley, Wu Ya looked at Mei Hua, "Meihua, in a month, let's have a competition." ”

"Call brother-in-law!" Mei Hua looked at each other proudly.

Wu Ya was furious, "This is in the barracks, do you want me to accuse you to the military judge?" ”

Mei Hua spread her hands, "It's really boring, okay, Camp Commander Wu, I promise you, in a month, let's have a game, what if you want to lose?" ”

"Am I going to lose?" Wu Ya raised his head.

Mei Hua smiled, "I only know that since I was a child, you have never won a bet with me, and the last time, you said that I would never marry your sister." ”

"You're not done!" Wu Ya's face turned red, "If I lose, I will lead all the officers of my fourth battalion, and in front of all the officers and soldiers of your third battalion, shout three times that I will obey." ”

"Beautiful!" Mei Hua laughed, "That's it. I'm going to lose, so do it. He turned to look at the ten officers standing tall behind him, and said, "You have all heard it, you can afford to lose this person, but I can't afford to lose it, I am his brother-in-law, how can I lose to my brother-in-law." ”

Wu Ya over there was so angry that he stomped his feet, made a gesture of middle finger down at Mei Hua, and strode away with his ten officers.

The two battalion heads, one stationed at the foot of the mountain on the left, the other under the foot of the mountain on the right, are separated by a distance of about four or five miles, between the two barracks, the originally undulating land has been bulldozed and compacted, as the training place of the two battalion heads, and the mountain they rely on is also an excellent training place.

Mei Hua stood in front of all the soldiers of the third battalion, a thousand soldiers recruited from all over the river were dressed in bright red guard robes, holding their breath and looking at their commander solemnly, before Mei Hua and they arrived, Ye Zhen had already sent instructors to conduct some of the most basic training for them, which made them stand now, they already had the appearance of some soldiers. But in the eyes of Mei Hua, a person who came out of the guard camp, it was far from enough, and behind him, the ten cadets who were standing straight there also showed a dissatisfied look in their eyes, this army was still too far from their requirements.

Where the soldiers stood, looking at their commander, in their opinion, the first day the commander took office, of course, there would be a long speech, or give them a dismissal, the new officer took office three fires, everyone did not dare to slack off in the slightest, if anyone became a bird today, it would definitely be very miserable.

These days, those instructors sent by Ye Zhen have made them suffer enough.

As the minutes ticked by, all the soldiers felt that something was wrong, where the new battalion commander was standing, not moving, and the ten officers behind him were like sculptures, eleven people, like eleven stones, not speaking or moving, just standing there like that, if it weren't for the fact that their eyes were still blinking, it really made people wonder if they were still alive.

Half an hour passed, and the phalanx of 1,000 people had begun to shake slightly, and sweat was dripping down everyone's faces.

An hour passed, and with a bang, someone fell. The fall of the first person seemed to be a signal, and the sound of porphyry was echoed.

Mei Hua shook his head, sighed, shook his head again, sighed again, and finally took a step forward, looked at the phalanx that was no longer neat, and shouted loudly: "Soldiers of the Young Guards, don't treat yourself as a person, you have to treat yourself as an animal, you have to be that kind of fierce animal, the first time we met, you disappointed me." ”

Turning around, Mei Hua looked at the ten officers behind him, "The whole battalion is temporarily divided into ten teams, each team has one hundred people, each of the ten of you will lead a team, half a month later, there will be a competition, at that time, four company commanders will be produced from among you, and the remaining six people can only be platoon commanders." Now you go and choose your 100 people, choose yourself, draw lots when there is a conflict, draw a fist to determine the belonging, remember, everyone is your own choice, if you lose at that time, don't find any other reason. ”

Dropping these words, Mei Hua turned around and left, leaving ten cadets and a thousand soldiers in the center of the field. Ten military cadets, look at me, I look at you, in the education they received, there is no such way at all, and besides, when they were in the army, they had never experienced this kind of thing, and the ten people stared at it for a long time, and they all turned around and rushed to the queue behind them.

At this time, the fourth battalion four or five miles away, but it was a completely different scene, more than 1,000 people sat on the ground, in the middle, stood their battalion commander Wu Ya, he was delivering a passionate speech, starting from his enlistment in the army, talking about the training he participated in, talking about how he was polished by the veterans, talking about the battles he had participated in, talking about the happy life of the people in Jishi City, talking about the rich land in Hetao, all the soldiers listened to it with relish, they were all from Hejian, And most of them come from poor families, and they have infinite yearning for the kind of life described by Wu Ya, joining the army, making military exploits, sharing land, living and working in peace and contentment, and the battalion commander standing in front of them is not such a typical example?

Two good brothers, good comrades-in-arms, but from different families, although they received the same training and served in the same army, but when the two of them began to lead different teams, there was a great contrast in philosophy. (To be continued......)
