Commander Wei looked at Lei Yunfeng's face with an uneasy expression, but he still continued: "Yunfeng, as a commander's appointment to his subordinates, the first thing to consider is whether this kind of appointment will bring harm to them, once it backfires, it will harm them. ”

Lei Yunfeng listened to Commander Wei's more pertinent opinion on his appointment of officers of the 54th Regiment, and not only immediately realized that the officers who had been reused by him, but I was afraid that Commander Wei would be greatly discounted here.

Originally, he wanted to argue on the basis of reason, but Lei Yunfeng, who was steady, said with a smile: "Commander, let's take a look in the village first, and I will report to you in detail on the actual situation of the 54th Regiment and the performance of the officers who have been reused, is it good?" ”

Commander Wei stood at the entrance of the village and felt that the entire Shangzhuang Village was very quiet, not only did a terrible thought swell up in his heart, that is, even if there were only two or three hundred people in a regiment, it should not be so quiet to live in the village, could it be that the 54th regiment was tossed ...... by Lei Yunfeng.

Chief of Staff Xu also felt that a regiment lived in this Shangzhuang Village, and it was not a good thing that the village was so quiet, he stared at Lei Yunfeng with a pair of angry eyes, and asked in a bad tone: "Lei Yunfeng, are you sure that Shangzhuang Village lives in the 54th Regiment?" ”

"Report to Chief of Staff Xu, there will be nothing wrong with this, the 54th Regiment lives in Shangzhuang Village."

"You bastard, can such a small Shangzhuang Village live in a 54th regiment? You tell me, how many people are left in the 54th Regiment now, won't it be enough for a company? ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, shall we go to the village and take a look?"

Commander Wei looked at the main generals of the Western Route Army who were following him, and looked at the quiet Shangzhuang Village, and they all thought that it was impossible to accommodate the strength of a single regiment, and I was afraid that even a battalion would not be able to accommodate it, and the expressions on their faces were different.

Huang Jianuo, the acting commander of the 54th Regiment, saw that these Shangfeng had repeatedly questioned Lei Yunfeng with bad words, and not only said with grievances: "Ladies and gentlemen, our Commander Lei is an excellent commander with wit and courage and far-reaching strategic vision, and is the most trusted and loved commander of the officers and men of the 54th Regiment. ”

Commander Wei heard that Huang Jianuo had the audacity to excuse Lei Yunfeng in front of so many generals, and thought to himself what kind of means this Lei Yunfeng used, which would make these people take the initiative to defend him, so he couldn't help but shake his head and wave his hand and said, "Let's go into the village and have a look." ”

Shangzhuang Village is located in the key position of the strategic defense line of six or seven kilometers of Yongji and Fenglingdu, and is the only way to pass through the two places, the village has more than 120 households, and the villages are relatively scattered, and the large and small streets are quite spacious.

Lei Yunfeng ordered the 54th Regiment to be stationed here, first, the soldiers of the army continued to fight bloody battles with the enemy in Qinshui and Dongyuan, and they had reached the limit of fatigue and fatigue, and wanted to tell the soldiers to stay away from the first line of defense of the Yongji defense battle and rest in the village.

The second is to stay away from the headquarters of the Zhongtiao Mountain West Route Army, so as not to be discovered by the surrounding troops how good the equipment of the 54th Regiment is, and in jealousy, he asked the commander to adjust some weapons and ammunition from the 54th Regiment to support the brother troops.

The most crucial point is that the transport convoy is hidden in the forests of the eastern mountain of Shangzhuang Village so that it will not be locked on from the air by the Japanese reconnaissance planes and become a victim of the bombing by the Japanese fighters.

Lei Yunfeng accompanied the commanders of the Western Route Army to the entrance of Shangzhuang Village, jumped off his horse and asked the commander to walk into the village so as not to disturb the rest of the soldiers.

Commander Wei was the first to enter the village, and when he walked into the village, he found that the streets and alleys were full of heavily armed soldiers, one by one, holding their guns, although they were sleeping on their knees, they slept in an unconventional manner, and none of them staggered.

They want to fall down and sleep well at will, but Shangzhuang Village is so big, and there are more than 1,500 soldiers of the 54th Regiment sleeping in the streets and alleys.

The streets and alleys were jammed with camping warriors, and in order to make it easier to pass, each street was flanked by camping warriors, leaving only a narrow path for one person to pass through.

Lei Yunfeng saw that the soldiers were camping in the streets and alleys regardless of their hard work, not only did he have reverence for the soldiers in his heart, but he said in a choked voice: "Commander Wei, the soldiers have not been rested for three days in the battles of Qinshui and Dongyuan, in order not to disturb the rest of the soldiers, are we temporarily leaving the village?" ”

Huang Jianuo, the acting head of the 54th regiment, was afraid that these high-ranking commanders would just leave, so he not only said quickly: "Ladies and gentlemen, if we go a short distance further, we will be able to board the platform of the largest family in Shangzhuang Village, and we can have an unobstructed view of the village. ”

"Then go over and have a look." Commander Wei saw that the streets and alleys of Shangzhuang Village were full of sleeping soldiers, they were extremely sleepy and slept very deadly, and they didn't know that the highest commander of the Western Route Army had come here to see them.

Commander Wei watched that although the 54th Regiment lived in the village, it was sleeping in the streets and alleys, and did not break into every house to harass the people, and Qiu obeyed military discipline without committing any crimes, which shocked him a lot.

He didn't know why Lei Yunfeng would bring out such a good style of troops, which was rare in the Western Route Army.

Seeing so many soldiers living in Shangzhuang Village, it is roughly estimated that the strength of at least one battalion is not less than that of one battalion, which is just the first impression in the eyes of walking into the village.

Huang Jianuo led the way in front, carefully passing through the narrow path left by the sleeping soldiers at this time, and reminded the people behind from time to time: "Please pay attention to your steps, and don't touch the soldiers who have finally rested." ”

This was the first time that Chief of Staff Xu had seen such a scene, but this commander of the army, who had always paid attention to military style and discipline and the conduct of his superiors and subordinates, did not expect that when he came to the 54th Regiment, not only did he not receive a warm welcome from the soldiers of the unit, but he was asked not to disturb the sleeping soldiers.

This made him feel more angry the more he thought about it, and not only shouted to Lei Yunfeng: "Lei Yunfeng, the 54th Regiment is a very good military style and discipline, and now Commander Wei has personally come to the troop station, not only do you not organize troops to line up to welcome, but instead ask the commander to carefully walk on the narrow path among the soldiers, and don't even let him say, you are a no-eye commander, what do you mean?" ”

"Chief of Staff Xu, can you be quiet? The soldiers fought bloody battles with the enemy for three days and three nights, and finally returned to the base camp alive, we give the soldiers a little rest, temporarily wronged the commanders, and ask for compassion for the intentions of the soldiers. ”

Commander Wei heard Lei Yunfeng say this, not only did he say in a serious whisper to the generals who followed behind him: "You all listen well, Lei Yunfeng loves his troops and brothers so much, not only is it not wrong to do so, but also requires all units of the Western Route Army to learn from the 54th Regiment and learn from the consistent style of their officers and soldiers. ”

"Commander, we are a troop, not a production team, what the troop requires is strict discipline and there is a difference between the top and the bottom, so mixed up regardless of rank, what prestige does the commander have? This kind of practice is the style of the Tubalu, and we are regular troops, so we ....... ”

"Do you think this style was pioneered by the Eighth Route Army, Chief of Staff Xu? If such a force can fight a big battle and win a war, what's so bad? Our senior officers should learn more from friendly forces and fine work styles, and I think the current 54th Regiment is doing this well, and it is worth promoting it to all units of the Western Route Army. ”

Lei Yunfeng didn't want to see the friction between the upper peaks because he had brought the 54th Regiment for nearly a month, and now he returned to Daben, not only said: "Commander Wei, let's go to that family's platform first and have a look at the whole village, okay?" ”
