Soon, when the pocket watch in Zhao Shixun's hand finished the last second, more than seventy disheveled soldiers were already standing crookedly in front of Zhao Shixun.

At the same time, not long after the gunshots rang out, the soldiers of the third company on duty in the barracks, under the leadership of Zhang Dapeng, hurriedly rushed over dozens of people, and then surrounded the courtyard of the fourth company.

Because the independent detachment was located under the noses of the Japanese puppet army, Zhao Shixun would take turns to arrange a platoon from the first company and the third company every day to be responsible for the defense patrol inside and outside Shenquan Village. And now the guns are fired in the camp for no reason, which is obviously a very serious matter.

After hearing the first gunshot, Dapeng, who was organizing troop training near the camp, immediately took a platoon of soldiers and rushed over in the direction where the gunshots rang out.

Seeing this scene, while Zhao Shixun was satisfied with the reaction speed of the third company, he immediately signaled Heiwa to go out and tell Dapeng about the situation here, and then asked him to arrange the soldiers he brought to rest outside the courtyard first.

……

After Heiwa went out, Zhao Shixun looked at these people with a gun, and his eyes slowly skimmed over their faces one by one.

"Where's your deputy company commander?"

Finding that Ma Sanshun, the deputy commander of the Fourth Company, did not appear from beginning to end, Zhao Shixun frowned and asked lightly.

Hearing this, the second platoon leader and the third fat man hurriedly saluted and walked out of the team, and replied in a low voice.

"Report sir, we're in charge...... No, our company commander, haven't we been recuperating from our injuries in the health team? Deputy Ma Lian and the third platoon commander said not long ago that the health team was looking at our company commander, so this will not be here. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun nodded thoughtfully.

Lu Baichuan's injury is also a problem that has been giving him a headache recently. Although Shao Mengru operated on the other party a few years ago, for various reasons, only half a bullet was removed.

According to Shao Mengru's explanation, the bullet that was shot into Lu Baichuan's body broke for some reason, and it was actually divided into two sections.

Although Shao Mengru took out half of it, the other half was finally left in Lu Baichuan's body because of her own skills and the constraints of the surgical environment.

As a result, although Lu Baichuan picked up a life, he has not been able to recover.

Especially recently, due to the shortage of medicines in the health team, Lu Baichuan's condition, which had been under control, quickly deteriorated due to the lack of medicines. A few days ago, Lu Baichuan, who led the team to train, fell ill again and was admitted to the health team.

In the past two days, Zhao Shixun has begun to send telegrams to the column asking for medicine, but there has been no reliable news so far.

With questions, Zhao Shixun turned to look at Li Chunfeng and asked in a low voice:

"How is Lu Baichuan's injury?"

Hearing Zhao Shixun's inquiry, Li Chunfeng, who is a political work officer, hurriedly replied:

"Detachment leader, Dr. Shao told me in the morning that Comrade Lu Baichuan's injuries had just been controlled, but because there was not enough medicine, he had been repeatedly suffering from high fever ...... past two days."

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun's face became even more solemn. Holding the 38 big cover in his hand tightly, he couldn't help but think of Zhou Yu's instructions before leaving.

Zhou Yu told him that although Lu Baichuan brought these to join the Eighth Route Army, these soldiers have been mentally unstable.

As the saying goes, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change. What's more, these bandits are old bandits who have accumulated for many years after all, and they have long been accustomed to an unfettered life. And they are not like Lu Baichuan, who used to be from a scholarly family, who can have lofty revenge and ideals.

Moreover, before leaving, Zhou Yu also told Zhao Shixun that after Lu Baichuan turned around from his injury, he had vaguely proposed that he could lead troops alone to continue fighting guerrillas in Wolong Mountain. It's just that Zhou Yu was resolute at the beginning, so Lu Baichuan didn't say anything, and this matter was over.

According to Zhou Yu's analysis, this Wolongshan man is obviously afraid of the strict military discipline and hard life after joining the Eighth Route Army, and Lu Baichuan also seems to know this.

Regarding Zhou Yu's instructions, Zhao Shixun didn't care about him before. In his opinion, as long as Lu Baichuan's thinking is resolute, sooner or later, these soldiers of the Fourth Company will be integrated into the independent detachment and become qualified soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

However, the so-called plan could not catch up with the changes, and Lu Baichuan's injury suddenly deteriorated, which suddenly disrupted the overall training plan of the Fourth Company, and also made the Fourth Company lose a leader who could subdue everyone. And now it seems that Ma Sanshun and Lao Bangzi, who are outsiders in Wolong Mountain, obviously do not have the prestige of Lu Baichuan to intimidate these bandits.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun also understood what went wrong.

Obviously, after losing the leadership of Lu Baichuan, these Wolong Mountain bandits who had just joined the Eighth Route Army had shown signs of upheaval in the face of the hard life in recent days.

Zhao Shixun had a hunch that these people should not only start to evade training, but even some of them should have the idea of becoming deserters.

You must know that a considerable number of these bandits are former deserters of the national army, so the probability of having this idea is definitely not low.

……

Thinking of this, looking at the crooked soldiers who were standing, Zhao Shixun couldn't help but fall into deep thought. It seems that he did think too much about the issue of co-opting the people of Wolongshan.

At this moment, Zhao Shixun even began to regret letting Zhou Yu go to the rear to study.

Obviously, although Li Chunfeng is also a political work officer, he obviously can't suppress these old fritters under Lu Baichuan in terms of work ability.

Seeing that Zhao Shixun's face was ugly and silent, Li Chunfeng, who was on the side, glanced at the soldiers in the courtyard who were trembling slightly in the cold wind, and suddenly gritted his teeth and stepped forward to ask for instructions:

"Detachment leader, I see that the comrades' faces are not very good, or I will ask Xiaohe to check their bodies again."

"Check what! They are all very good. My Officer Li, did you let these Qiu Ba tricks? ”

Suddenly, Zhao Shixun pointed to the soldiers of the fourth company who were staring at each other with big eyes, and said sharply in front of Li Chunfeng.

This time, Li Chunfeng, who wanted to make this matter a big thing a small thing, couldn't say a word, and finally had to lower his head and sound like a mosquito.

"I'm sorry...... it's my dereliction of duty, it's my dereliction of ......."

Looking at his feet, Li Chunfeng, who was already aggrieved, was already with tears in his eyes at this time.

During the time that Zhou Yu was gone, she had been trying hard to share the work of the independent detachment for Zhao Shixun. But in the face of these difficult soldiers of the Fourth Company, she really had the heart to do anything, and she could only watch the Fourth Company develop step by step from passive training to direct refusal to exercise.

And just when Li Chunfeng lowered his head with a pale face, Zhao Shixun actually regretted it.

Almost as soon as his words landed, he realized that he was talking too much.

Although Li Chunfeng is the new political work officer of the independent detachment, after all, she is only a woman in her early twenties. In the face of this group of bandit soldiers who had the cheekiness to race over the bend of the city wall, it was reasonable for her to be fooled.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shixun raised his left hand slightly embarrassed, and after hesitating for a moment, he gently placed it on Li Chunfeng's shoulder.

"Alright...... You go back to your room and rest first, I'll take care of the things here. ”

Feeling the shaking of his shoulder, Zhao Shixun, who knew that he had done something wrong, just wanted to explain again, but the other party suddenly broke free from himself and ran directly out of the courtyard of the fourth company.

Seeing this scene, a group of soldiers from the fourth company also stared at Officer Li who covered his mouth and ran out with his mouth covered and Zhao Shixun who was embarrassed, looking gloating.

"What are you seeing?! Stand up straight for Lao Tzu! ”

Discovering these Qiu Ba's actions, Zhao Shixun immediately burst into an evil fire in his heart.

Since he joined the Eighth Route Army, he has never met a soldier who dares to ignore military discipline and his superiors. For a while, the criminal laws that were originally used to punish soldiers and ruffians in the warlord's army began to echo in Zhao Shixun's mind. Originally, Zhao Shixun didn't want to use these methods to treat the soldiers under his command, but now it seems that these soldiers are obviously not something that can be subdued by a few strict military disciplines.

Carrying a gun in front of these people, just as he was ready to clean up these soldiers who did not know the height of the sky, a heart-rending cough also came from outside the courtyard.

cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ......

Hearing the voice, Zhao Shixun and a group of soldiers turned around in unison, just in time to see a pale man walking in with Ma Sanshun and Lao Bangzi in their arms.

"Brother Lu."

"The ...... of the big bosses."

Seeing that Lu Baichuan actually came over, Zhao Shixun was surprised, and after throwing the weapon to the black baby next to him, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother Lu, didn't you get off the ground easily. Quick, you two hurry up and send the people back to the health team! ”

While speaking, Zhao Shixun looked at Ma Sanshun and Lao Bangzi sternly, and signaled the two to hurry up and send the weak Lu Baichuan back to the health team to continue recuperation.

……

"Detachment leader, don't care about their business...... It was I who insisted on coming back. ”

Raising his hand to signal that Zhao Shixun was none of their business, Lu Baichuan took a few deep breaths and struggled to stand up straight.

Because the bullets in his body could not be removed, Lu Baichuan had been suffering from the recurrence of old injuries for more than two months. The seven-foot man who used to be beaten with iron back then is now haggard and haggard from illness, and the whole person has lost dozens of pounds, not to mention, and even walking alone has become extremely difficult.

Seeing that the other party seemed to have something to say, Zhao Shixun didn't say anything.

And the soldiers of the fourth company saw that their eldest brother had become like this, and they were heartbroken and surrounded one after another. Obviously, these men's feelings for Lu Baichuan are sincere and extremely deep. It can be said that after the reorganization of Wolong Mountain, a large part of those who took the initiative to stay and participate in the Eighth Road were left because they swore to follow Lu Baichuan's oath at the beginning.

Under the sun, Lu Baichuan looked at these former brothers in front of him and sighed softly.

"Brothers, I heard Brother Ma say that you don't want to go out for training, is it true?"

…… To be continued, thank you for your support!!
