A small kiln ditch thirty miles north of Baili. Zhao Laosan's infantry company and the seventh infantry company, Zhang Blind was the only remaining people stationed here. Zhang Zhen hadn't eaten properly for several days. The death of the company commander made it difficult for him to adapt, but their infantry company had to survive.

Their mission here is to help build up the local militia, train them, and organize them.

"Company commander, this may be grapevine. Captain. Xiaohu said anxiously. He had just joined the Republican Army. They are from a nearby village. Same as ordinary people. They ran as fast as they could, but they robbed the house of food. Fortunately, everyone is there, there is no food, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, there are as many as seven people, several brothers are married, it is impossible to come out to join the army, in order to save the expenses in the family, there is no way, the sisters-in-law are also difficult to speak, the brother can't leave, there are children in the house, Xiaohu and a few companions ran out. Joined the army. Because there is food to be given to join the army. The IRA changed a certain policy, no longer giving out land, but giving salaries, or food, you know, now food is much more valuable than land.

Xiaohu was only sixteen years old, but he lied about his age of eighteen. Fortunately, I can't see it. The body is relatively strong and flexible. followed Zhang Zhen, a young company commander, and became his orderly. As for the grain, the trustee brought it back. It wasn't until the food arrived home that the family knew that Xiaohu had joined the army. The old mother fainted from crying on the spot, and several brothers and sisters were not comfortable after learning the news. Because they heard that the IRA side was fighting fiercely. The people sent to collect the corpses did not have a few complete corpses at all. For the fate of the little tiger. The family was worried.

Xiaohu doesn't care about this, he thinks that the army is very good, he can eat enough, he heard that in the ranks of the officers and soldiers, the food is picked by veterans, and it is good to be full. But after coming here, he learned that the republican army did not have that at all, and officers and soldiers were equal. Officers and soldiers eat the same food, no matter what the meal is, they can eat to their heart's content. Xiaohu can finally let go and eat. He actually ate three bowls of rice. A lot of people don't eat anymore.

But Xiaohu also found out. The Republican Army, the most basic combat unit, the company. There are some special cases. For example, he saw Zhao Laosan and their six companies. There were more than 200 of them, but their company, when it was full, was less than 60 people, and the difference in numbers was very large.

Not only these, for example, there is no one in the three rows. Xiaohu gave full play to his flexibility and inquired about some news. Their company had just gone through a bloody battle, killing more than 2,000 Huns. The third platoon may have been completely wiped out in that battle. And the officers are all young. This also shows a truth. The younger the officer, the faster the unit will be defeated. But Xiaohu is not afraid, because he can't fight to death. He's dead. The IRA will also give money to the family. Send the old lady to the end.

Look at the little tiger mixed up. He asked around about their company's previous combat experiences. For example, what he knew was that the company was made up of bandits before. This once made Xiaohu feel a little annoyed. He felt like he had joined a den of bandits, and then he realized he was wrong. Because this bandit formed the big brother company, they are all heroes, and what heroes are is because they know their mistakes and can change them, because they can stand up and fight at the most critical time. In the words of those veterans, that is, a man dies and a bird rises to the sky, and he becomes a man with eggs.

But a bad news made him inquire about it. The messenger in charge of delivering the message told him that their company might not exist. Xiaohu told their company commander about the news, and the company commander was very excited on the spot.

The company commander is a very silent person, he doesn't say a word, it's very scary, it is said that he didn't do this before, he was a white-faced scholar. It's a shy person, but now, you can feel that murderous aura.

"Company commander. Captain. Probably a fake message. Xiaohu looked at the menacing company and shouted loudly.

"Fake news." Zhang Zhen turned around suddenly. Xiaohu accidentally bumped into it.

"What do you kid know? Lao Tzu's company commander fought a bloody battle on it for a day and night, killing more than 2,000 Huns, more than 2,000 people. Zhang Zhen shouted loudly. They were surrounded by Republican soldiers and civilians, and it was the first time they had seen such a young man so excited.

"How about the Huns? Lao Tzu has never been afraid of them, they dare to come again, Lao Tzu is biting with his teeth, and he will bite them to death. Zhang Zhen shouted loudly.

"Damn it. It even said that the seven companies were gone. Nope. Do you know that the company commander died in front of Lao Tzu's eyes. Speaking of this, Zhang Zhen cried. Red eyes, tears fell. The company was re-established, and he was not afraid. The terrible thing is that the company is gone.

"Seven, seven can't do without. There are still people in the Seventh Company, as long as there are half a person, the Seventh Company cannot be without. Otherwise, Lao Tzu is sorry for the company commander, and the seventh company can't be left alone. No. Zhang Zhen wiped his tears and said. He's sorry for his company commander, he can't let the Seventh Company be gone. This is his home, this is the root guarded by his company commander. Root.

"Little scholar, stop. Where are you going? Zhao Laosan rushed over when he heard the news. Stop him with a loud shout.

"Lao Tzu wants to go to the battalion headquarters, but if the battalion headquarters can't go to the regiment headquarters, go and ask the brigade commander, but it's really not possible, Lao Tzu will go and ask the commander, and ask the commander of the headquarters why he withdrew the seventh company." Zhang Zhen shouted loudly. He was just a scholar, and he had never shouted so loudly.

"Ahh Zhao Laosan kicked Zhang Zhen excitedly, he really hadn't seen such a scholar, a scholar was so crazy. For the sake of Qilian, he turned out to be crazy.

"Why kick Lao Tzu." Zhang Zhen stood up loudly and asked.

"You're crazy. Won't look at commands. Doesn't the commander above know the merits of the Seventh Company? Zhao Laosan shouted loudly.

"Bring it." Zhao Laosan shouted loudly. The orderly immediately took an order out of his backpack.

"Look, see what is written on it?" Zhao Laosan threw the order to Zhang Zhen.

"You think the seven companies are gone. Tell you, boy, don't give it to Lao Tzu. When Lao Tzu was fighting, you kid didn't know where it was. Zhao Laosan said.

"Aren't you a scholar? Look at what is written above? Do you know words? Lao Tzu, this old man will miss you. Zhao Laosan said.

"Seven in a row. It's a wolf camp. The battalion is composed of three infantry companies. A special artillery squad. Two platoons of artillery. Zhao Laosan said loudly. Zhang Zhen was still annoyed. He felt sorry for his company commander and lost all seven companies.

"What?" Zhang Zhen looked at Zhao Laosan and asked.

"See for yourself. It is said that you scholars have a tendon. I think it's just a tendon. Zhao Laosan scolded. Then he turned around and left. But the news spread among the troops at once. Zhao Laosan's infantry company was also merged into the wolf battalion, they belonged to the reinforced battalion establishment, there was originally an artillery company, and there were too few artillery at the higher level. Only two artillery platoons were given to them. In addition to this, there is a reconnaissance company. Together with the rest of the troops, there were five companies of combatants. This is a sudden increase in strength.

"Company commander. Company commander. Zhang Zhen shouted loudly. At this moment, he was very happy.

Collective cemetery of the 7th Company. It is said that many coffins are empty, and they are carried out according to the names of the people on the roster, because some of them are killed with ** bags, and the bodies are very incomplete, I don't know if it is the enemy's, or their own people, and the only way is to concentrate under the cemetery. Then set up a cloak mound. There is no way. They can't be without roots.

"Company commander. Our company has expanded into a battalion. That's good news. Zhang Zhen knelt in front of the graveyard of the blind man and poured a small bowl of wine, which he changed with a small mirror. That kind of thing, ordinary people don't have. There are also a few vegetable dumplings. It's their best food.

"Company commander, I must do a good job and bring this battalion up. The roots of our connection are here. I can't guarantee how well this battalion will be led, but I will definitely carry forward the spirit of our Seventh Company. Zhang Zhen said.

"Company Commander Zhao." Xiaohu stood outside and looked at Zhao Laosan's back and said.

Zhao Laosan knew that this little scholar was not an ordinary person. His bones are already connected with the seven. Although he was angry at himself, he was not angry at all, and the seventh company met a good person.

"Company Commander Zhao, don't be like our company commander, our company commander just has some tendons, straight. More stubborn than a cow. "Little Tiger said good things.

"Alright. Come on. Lao Tzu just came to take a look. Look at what you can. Zhao Laosan looked at Xiaohuzi and said dissatisfiedly.

"Lao Tzu has been a company commander for such a long time. I know more things than you, I don't know that the people of the Seventh Company are stubborn, if they are not stubborn, they can withstand such a thing? Zhao Laosan said to Xiaohuzi.

"Huh." Xiaohuzi laughed embarrassedly.

"Look at what you can. Bird-like. Zhao Laosan scolded. Then he left the place, and he felt aggrieved. They didn't fight much. and became a member of the wolf camp. Who are they looking for? He himself still feels aggrieved for such a thing. Their company is still there, but the seventh company has become a battalion instead. Instead, I listened to others.

However, Zhao Laosan has to serve as the battalion commander. Zhang Zhen is not qualified enough, and he can't be the main beam in many things. Just as an instructor. He didn't know exactly what kind of work it was doing, but he knew that this battalion had to do a good job and couldn't lose this spirit.

Zhang Zhen is still talking to his company commander, this may be the only way to sustenance. What will happen in the future? He didn't know either.
