506 Old Age

It seems that there is a sentence that Xu Zilin said correctly, this deputy head Chen Baoliang is an old fox, old and good.

It only took two weeks, this guy got along with the soldiers around him, don't look at his age of more than thirty, I don't know how he did it, he can actually talk and laugh with the young little soldier on his shoulder, there is no generation gap at all, it's like a year-old friend.

"I'll see when this old guy's fox tail will show out."

Every time Chen Baoliang is mentioned, Xu Zilin always likes to talk about this sentence, she always insists that Chen Baoliang's purpose of coming to the New Third Regiment is not pure, most of them have some tasks on their minds.

Han Feng didn't care, "Since he was sent by his superiors, and the task was assigned to him by his superiors, what we have to do is to cooperate with others." ”

Han Feng didn't care about these things, he continued to pay attention to the formation of the commando team and the sharp knife company.

After another two weeks, Xu Zilin felt that she had caught some flaws, and she called several company commanders who had recently been close to the deputy regiment commander Chen Baoliang to the regiment headquarters for questioning.

"What? Do you mean that the deputy head of the regiment intends to inquire about the past affairs of our new third regiment with intention or not? ”

A company commander said: "Political commissar, that's the case, Deputy Regiment Commander Chen asks a lot about what we eat, how we train, what battles we have fought, what do we think of the regiment commander, he often asks us these questions." ”

Xu Zilin frowned, "Then how did you answer?" ”

The company commander said: "Report to the political commissar, I will answer according to the actual situation." ”

"What do you think of the Captain?"

"Hehe, this doesn't need to be said, when Deputy Regiment Commander Chen asked this question, not only me, but all the company commanders patted their chests, with a look of admiration and pride, our regiment commander is too powerful in battle, how powerful is it, we have never seen such a regiment commander who can fight since we have been soldiers for so long.

Also, the head of the regiment is very good to us, like his own brother.

The food at the regiment headquarters is the same as everyone's, or even worse than everyone's.

The regiment commander has a habit of sleeping, he does not sleep in the regiment headquarters or in a fixed bunk, he always changes places to sleep every day, many soldiers have slept in the same room with the regiment commander, every time at this time, the regiment commander will tell us some deeds of combat heroes, and also said that as long as we insist that victory is not far away, the War of Resistance will end one day, and the people of the whole China will be better at that time. ”

Xu Zilin nodded and let the company commander leave the regiment headquarters.

She thought about it, there was indeed nothing wrong with these words, but she was afraid that someone would pick a bone in the egg and deliberately find trouble.

Xu Zilin was a little annoyed because of this, Han Feng didn't seem to care about this kind of precautionary matter, and she had to worry about everything for Han Feng.

In the evening of that day, Deputy Regiment Commander Chen had nothing to do, the crops in the recently reclaimed land had been planted, and the soldiers had a temporary free time, so he went alone and talked with the soldiers again.

Xu Zilin became a scout this time and quietly followed all the way.

She didn't expect that Chen Baoliang was still dealing with a few battalion commanders at the beginning, followed by some company commanders, and now even ordinary soldiers have become his targets.

This time, Chen Baoliang went to the third platoon of the guard company.

The guard company is responsible for the guards of the regiment headquarters, and it is considered the closest to the regiment headquarters in all the companies, Xu Zilin feels that Chen Baoliang's move must have a deep meaning.

…… Chen Baoliang, the deputy head of the regiment, entered the third class of Tongpu, and he was also on the bar with himself during this time.

The superiors sent him Chen Baoliang to the New Third Regiment as the deputy head of the regiment, in addition to assisting the regiment commander, if he said that there was no other special task, let alone someone else, even he Chen Baoliang himself would not believe it.

That's right, in addition to assisting the regiment commander, taking charge of part of the regiment's internal work, and sharing worries for the regiment commander, Chen Baoliang also came with another task: to inspect the new third regiment and inspect the regiment commander Comrade Han Feng.

It's just that this mission greatly surprised Chen Baoliang.

I won't mention what Chen Baoliang did in the past, but he is a veteran in the army, and he has worked in many regiment-level units, and even divisional and brigade-level units.

With regard to the investigation of the top military commander of a unit, Chen Baoliang has his own set of independent theories, and he reads, listens, and asks more questions.

He has been in the army for so many years, has experienced many troops, inspected many military commanders, and through this method, he can always learn about a military commander's past, personality, temperament, psychology, etc., in a very short period of time.

Judging from the results of these investigations, Chen Baoliang came to a conclusion that the middle and low-level cadres of the Eighth Route Army had some problems in the process of leading troops to fight due to their own quality and cultural reasons.

For example, although some regiment commanders fought well, they liked to engage in one-tongue speech and scold others; There are also some regiment commanders who do not scold people and are willing to discuss military operations with everyone, but the troops brought out are like dough, and basically have no combat effectiveness; There are even some regiment commanders who are good at everything, but they have too little communication with the fighters at the grassroots level, and they are not sympathetic to the soldiers, and some soldiers have never even said a word to the regiment commanders, but it seems that these regiment commanders are high above and out of reach.

But only in this new third regiment gave Chen Baoliang a great surprise.

For more than half a month, he knocked on the side, from the battalion commander and company commander to the ordinary soldiers, everyone mentioned the regiment commander Han Feng and was full of praise.

The words of praise can be said for a long time, but as for the words of slander, there is no one at all.

This made Chen Baoliang feel a little incredible, he understood that no one is perfect, no gold is barefoot, and there is no fish when the water is clear, how can there be such an almost perfect regiment commander in the Eighth Route Army?

It's incredible!

The incredulous Chen Baoliang became more and more emotional, and the more he inquired, the more frightened he became, and this evening, he finally aimed at the ordinary soldiers of the third squad of the guards.

Pushing open the door of the bunk, the soldiers of the third squad seemed to be resting.

The group was stunned, and the soldiers hurriedly got up and saluted, "Deputy Commander Chen!" ”

Chen Baoliang nodded, he looked at the situation of the shop, some straw was spread on the wooden board, and a little thin cloth sheet with large and small puddings was put on the mat, connected to a row, and more than a dozen soldiers squeezed it, and then fell asleep.

Sure enough, as some soldiers said, this guard company is a unit under the nose of the regiment commander Han Feng, but Tongpu is the same as other squads, and there is no difference.

Chen Baoliang didn't see the outside and disliked, smiled at the soldiers, and was approachable, he moved his butt on a bed board and sat down.

"Comrades, don't see outside, sit down! Now is not the time to discuss work, then I will not be the deputy head of the regiment, I am older than you, everyone will treat me as a big brother! Oh, I came here this big night, that is, I want to chat with my comrades, after all, I just came to our new third regiment, and most of the soldiers don't know each other, as a deputy regiment commander, I can't even remember the least of the soldiers' faces, so what kind of cadre should I be, the big guy said yes! ”

Chen Baoliang's kindness made the soldiers have a very good impression of this deputy regiment commander.

Everyone is a veteran who survived the war, so naturally there is no need for cowardice, so they sat down one by one and laughed with Deputy Head Chen.

The squad leader smiled: "Deputy Head Chen, if you want to remember the face of every comrade, it is not easy!" ”

Chen Baoliang said: "Why is it not easy? As long as you memorize it with your heart, not to mention each of your faces, but the name of each of you, maybe I can remember it.

I don't want more, for example, if I come to your third class today, I will write down the faces of everyone in your third class. ”

One soldier said, "But there are more than 10,000 people in our whole regiment now!" ”

Chen Baoliang: ......

He suddenly felt that his cowhide was blowing a little too big, coughed twice, and hurriedly snorted to confuse the topic.

Another soldier said: "But if you really want to talk about it, our regiment commander is the best, once when there was a meeting, there were more than 3,000 people in the regiment at that time, and as soon as a small comrade stood up, the regiment commander could call out his name!" ”

Just when he talked about the topic he wanted to ask, Chen Baoliang smiled and said, "Listen to what you mean, the regiment commander has memorized the faces and names of those three or four thousand soldiers?" ”

"Can that be fake? Every time the regiment recruits new recruits, no matter how many people there are, the regiment commander will meet with everyone in person, and will also ask everyone to introduce themselves, that is, what their names are, their nicknames, and what other interesting things, the regiment commander has a good memory, and can always write down everyone's names. ”

Chen Baoliang was amazed when he heard it, if this was the case, the head of the regiment, Han Feng's amazing memory, was almost unforgettable.

"Haha, then our head of the regiment doesn't have anything bad?"

The squad leader glared at him and said categorically: "If anyone dares to say half a bad word about our regiment leader, my third class will definitely not let him go." ”

The soldiers of the third squad also made a fuss and agreed with the squad leader's point of view.

Chen Baoliang sighed with emotion, and asked the squad leader with a smile: "Comrade squad leader, you love our head very much!" ”

"Hmph, of course."

The squad leader recalled: "Deputy Head Chen, do you know what I used to do? ”

"Peasantry?"

"It's not."

"Workers?"

"It's not."

"What's that?"

"I used to be a bandit."

“……”

"Although I haven't killed anyone, I have done no less bad things, I didn't know what was good and what was bad, anyway, I could fill my stomach.

Later, Heiyunzhai was burned by the head of the regiment, I was thinking, this is over, the home is gone, and I still hate the head of the regiment a little in my heart, but I am more afraid, the head of the regiment glared, even our big boss was scared and trembled, we little minions, who is not afraid!

But then we did the Eighth Road and joined the New Third Regiment, and under the explanation of the regiment commander, no one among the comrades cared about our past, and no one treated us as bandits.

My sixth child's favorite is the whole group story conference, and when everyone tells the story, I can shed tears when I listen to it.

Here I feel like the regiment commander said, our whole regiment is a big family, all the soldiers are our brothers and sisters, this feeling is very stable, even if none of us know when we will die when we fight with devils, but this feeling is something I have never felt when I was a bandit.

I still remember that it was an attack on Heyuan County! A bullet came at me and hit me in the right leg, and I felt a chill in my heart, thinking, this is the end of the game, I'm going to die here.

But guess what, many soldiers rushed past me without noticing me, and in the end, the regiment commander was sharp-eyed and hurriedly rushed over, and without saying a word, I left on my back.

The regiment commander sent me to the medical platoon all the time, and then roared, bandaged this kid, and after speaking, led everyone to continue to charge.

You don't know that the tears of gratitude that I had were about to fall were pouring down.

Regiment commander, this is really taking the lives of our soldiers! When I robbed Heiyun Village back then, several minions fell to the ground, and several masters didn't even look at it, and some were afraid of revealing the location of Heiyun Village, so they simply made up two shots.

Have you ever seen someone like our regiment commander who didn't forget to carry a wounded ordinary soldier on his back when he killed the enemy on the battlefield?

Anyway, since then, Lao Tzu has made up his mind, and he has followed the head of the regiment in this life, and I am the head of the regiment in this life, even if our head of the regiment has never thought about it like this. ”

The shop of the third class was quiet all of a sudden, and it was the first time that the third squad leader had told everyone about it.

Not only the soldiers of the third class, but even Chen Baoliang was also shocked.

He suddenly asked himself, such a combat hero, do you still have to persevere and self-righteous to investigate?

The more he investigated, the less room there was for his old face.

For most of the month, he asked how many people, from the battalion commander to the soldiers, there were all kinds of identities, some were puppet soldiers before joining the army, some were fruit soldiers before joining the army, and some were even bandits before joining the army, but everyone's answer was the same, and they were full of praise for the regiment commander Comrade Han Feng.

Chen Baoliang realized that he no longer needed to ask deeply.

At the same time, he realized that coming to the new Third Regiment as the deputy commander was a very unique task for him, and before the task was completely completed, he, the executor, had been completely impressed by the goal.

He had even figured out how to hand the paperwork to the organization.

And next, he felt that what he should do was to be honest and do his job as the deputy head of the regiment.

Pushing open the wooden door, walking out of the house, looking up at the starry sky was already a black curtain, an abrupt black shadow startled Chen Baoliang, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be political commissar Xu Zilin.

"Ahem, Lao Chen, why did you come to the soldiers' shops to have a look if you didn't sleep so late?"

Chen Baoliang smiled: "Lao Xu, didn't you sleep either!" ”

"I see that you went to the shop and chatted with the soldiers quite happily, and from time to time there was laughter, what did you say?" Xu Zilin was suspicious.

Chen Baoliang shook his head, "It's just that I can't sleep, so I came to talk to the soldiers." ”

"Then ask what kind of person Lao Han is?"

Chen Baoliang was stunned for a while, and laughed loudly: "Lao Xu, I really admire Comrade Lao Han more and more now, up to the battalion commander, down to the junior comrades, now it seems that even you, the political commissar, are dedicated to our regiment commander!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Don't worry, since I, Chen Baoliang, have become the deputy head of the new third regiment, I will wholeheartedly assist the regiment commander in the future, and one day you will find that I am the same as your Lao Xu."

Chen Baoliang said inexplicable words, and after chatting with Xu Zilin casually, he left directly.

Looking at the back of Chen Baoliang leaving, Xu Zilin was thoughtful and finally put her mind at ease.

He suddenly remembered the old saying quoted by Han Feng:

The road knows the horsepower, and the people will see it for a long time.
