Chapter 3: Heaven and Earth (Part 8)

"What,." Although Fang Guoqiang has tried his best to be euphemistic, Zhang Songling listened to it in his ears, it was still thundering, you must know that it is 1940 now, not 1998 or 2014, even in Shanghai, Guangzhou, these big cities known for their openness, it is not a very honorable thing to get pregnant before marriage, and Zhang Songling himself is from Shandong, the hometown of Master Confucius, in his limited memory, if there are young men and women in his hometown who do not get married, they will have a big belly. Seven or eight times out of ten, the woman will be stoned by her family and sunk into a pond, and the man, if he is beaten alive with hundreds of sticks, will also be kicked out of the house and never return home.

"Be quiet, don't you think this matter is not big enough?" Fang Guoqiang's thinking mode was completely different from Zhang Songling's belonging to the same world, and he quickly blocked the other party's mouth with his hand, and scolded in a very low voice, "I have already given a gag order to the old scar, except for him, Lao Zheng, Lao Ma, Xiao Zheng and me, no one else in the entire guerrilla team knows that Si Qin was pregnant, you don't have to ask about it again, let's suppress this matter together, and after the turmoil subsides, we will find a way to let Brother Long marry Si Qin, so that even if it is known by the military division in the future, There is no point in pursuing this matter. ”

"Okay, I know the weight." Zhang Songling hesitated for a moment, and then nodded vigorously, the Eighth Route Army is a disciplined team, as the deputy captain Zhao Tianlong "took the lead" to live with his girlfriend, whether the other party is a Mongolian prince or an ordinary person, after this matter is known by the higher authorities, they can't choose to turn a blind eye, so Fang Guoqiang's plan to "hide from the sky and cross the sea" is probably the safest way, although after the truth is exposed, their two masterminds will definitely be implicated.

With Zhao Tianlong, the two are fateful friendships, Zhang Songling of course doesn't care about being criticized by the superior leaders in order to help the other party, but the most troublesome problem at the moment is not how to explain to the superior leaders, but how to let Zhao Tianlong successfully marry Si Qin home, after returning from Chongqing, Si Qin has gained absolute control over the Right Banner Palace, and some of the obstacles that existed between her and Zhao Tianlong before, of course, also ceased to exist, but the "258th Regiment" regulations within the Eighth Route Army are not easy to bypass, at least, Zhao Tianlong, the deputy captain, is still a very long way from the "regiment" level.

Seeing that Zhang Songling was scratching his head in worry, he took out a document from a certain layer of the bookcase and said in a low voice: "The scale of our guerrilla force was too small before, it can only be regarded as a second-level brigade, you and I are both battalion level, and Captain Zhao is the deputy battalion, but after the establishment of the Blackstone base area for more than a year, we can report to the superiors and upgrade the Blackstone guerrilla brigade to a guerrilla detachment, even if the number of people is still not as large as a guerrilla brigade in the pass, referring to the special situation of the vast land and sparsely populated grassland It can barely be designated as a regiment-level combat unit, and Brother Long has made a few more meritorious achievements during this period, or rated the advanced of the last military division, even if the guerrilla promotion report is not approved, with his status as a battalion-level cadre and those combat hero medals, it is enough to give special treatment under special circumstances, and I have sent out a report asking for merit for him, this is the relevant material, you can refer to it, and then make some specific additions. ”

"Well, I'll look at it now." Zhang Songling didn't expect that Fang Guoqiang, who had always been old-fashioned, would still have such an accommodating side, he was stunned, and quickly grabbed the materials in his hand, and said with a little gratitude, "Brother Long, do you know that you have nothing to do with Si Qin, if you have a relationship with Si Qin, she will not hate you like this." ”

"Before Brother Long went to Liaoxi for a meeting, he already knew that I was asking for credit for him, but Si Qin's side" Fang Guoqiang shook his head, his face full of helplessness, "I haven't had time to tell her, and she won't give me a chance to explain. ”

"You, let me say anything about you." Zhang Songling was moved and amused, and shook his head at Fang Guoqiang again and again, obviously with good intentions to help, but because he was afraid of destroying his image of "sticking to principles" in front of his brothers, he was regarded as a big villain who beat mandarin ducks, but this big villain was still very proud in his heart, so proud that he didn't bother to defend himself at all, or thought that he didn't need to defend himself at all.

"You can say whatever you want, as long as we don't have conflicts and affect the stability of the team." Seeing that Zhang Songling finally understood that he was not without hardship, Fang Guoqiang also laughed and shook his head, "You probably haven't realized how much influence you, the captain, have in our base area, to be honest, if you don't support my work, I, the political commissar, can't do anything." ”

Although it was just a joke, Zhang Songling didn't dare to really take it, so he quickly waved his hand a few times and responded in a low voice, "Okay, okay, my big political commissar, don't make fun of me, I've been at home for more than a year, aren't you doing a good job." ”

"That's because Brother Long and they got your orders and took the lead in cooperating with me." Fang Guoqiang glanced at Zhang Songling, put away his smile, and continued to add, "I'm not complaining about you, but stating a fact, if there are no two of you, Brother Long, our Blackstone guerrillas will be completely empty, this situation, in the long run, is not a good thing for you, for the Blackstone guerrillas and the Blackstone base area." ”

"Hmm." Although he may not be very comfortable in his heart, Zhang Songling has to admit that Fang Guoqiang's words are reasonable, this is not to say that some people will suspect him for supporting the army and respecting himself, even the cooks and breeders are added to the team of only a few hundred people, and if he wants to support the army and respect himself, he can't set off any storms, but if he and Zhao Tianlong are unfortunately martyred one day, or they are ordered to be transferred to other places, it will have very serious consequences for the Blackstone base area, after all, the above two situations are very likely to happen, especially the first one, Judging from the probability of losses of the grassroots cadres of the Eighth Route Army in the last two years, there is almost a 78 out of 10 percent.

Since he carried the gun, Zhang Songling never thought about his future children and grandchildren around his knees, and finally died of old age in bed, he was not afraid of martyrdom, as a soldier, that was his choice, and it was also his glory, but he was afraid that if he really had that day, the foundation left by the red beard would collapse instantly, and he glanced at Fang Guoqiang lightly, he also put away his smile, and said very solemnly: "Have you already come up with a solution, say, don't underestimate my belly." ”

"I've never underestimated it." Fang Guoqiang laughed again, with a bit of appreciation in his eyes, "In such a complex struggle environment, how can a person who makes the Blackstone guerrillas stronger and stronger, how can he be a guy with a rat's belly, I just don't want to cause any unnecessary misunderstandings, delaying the development of the next step, with the development and growth of the base area and our guerrillas, the regularization of the team is bound to be mentioned on the agenda, the training and training of grassroots commanders, the tactical cooperation of various arms, and the specific implementation of combat missions. The position of the cadres at all levels and the specific role they should play must come up with a plan as soon as possible, and it is not possible to lead the charge of Brother Long every time they fight, and you, who are the captain of the brigade, will finish operating the mortar, and then go to get the heavy machine gun, and the squadron leaders and squad leaders will only hang around the two of you like ordinary soldiers, and they will not have a chance to play their due role at all. ”

This is a well-intentioned persuasion, but also a kind of protest in disguise, Zhang Songling has no reason to refute, and he can't find a suitable excuse to refute, especially after the professional training of Kang Da, he can better understand Fang Guoqiang's thoughts, the original fighting method of the Blackstone guerrillas, although it looks hearty, but from the perspective of regularization, there is indeed a very fatal flaw, that is, it relies too much on the existence of Zhao Tianlong and him, in addition to their two absolute cores, other cadres at all levels are foils and decorations in the battle, In case Zhao Tianlong and one of the two of him played abnormally, or unfortunately died in the battle, the situation would immediately take a turn for the worse, and there was even a possibility that they would collapse on the spot and be directly wiped out by the enemy.

So even if Fang Guoqiang doesn't bring it up, after officially returning to the position of captain, Zhang Songling himself will start the regularization of the team, so that he and Zhao Tianlong, as well as all the cadres and fighters, will become a screw on the machine, no matter which one is missing, there is a possibility of replacement, and it will not bring a devastating impact to the entire Blackstone guerrillas, which is the only way from the guerrillas to the regular army, although in the initial stage, there will be some unexpected troubles, and even cause the entire team to be uncomfortable, However, after the transformation is completed, the entire guerrilla force will inevitably be reborn, and no matter how great the difficulties may be encountered in the future, even if they are surrounded and intercepted by Japanese devils with several times or even dozens of times the number of troops, as long as one or two fires can be left in the end, in time, the entire Dongmeng grassland will be re-lit.

"Okay." Thinking of this, Zhang Songling nodded solemnly again, "In the past two days, you first come up with a rough plan, and by the way, help me entertain those students, and when I come back from the palace, we will sit together to discuss the specific details, and after I send the students back, let's gather Brother Long and Lao Zheng and them together and have a Zhuge Liang meeting, as long as everyone's thinking is straightened out, there is no worry about not being able to build an iron army." ”

"You really know how to find leisure, go and please the little girl yourself, and push all the work to me first." Unexpectedly, Zhang Songling agreed so happily, and completely made a big, Fang Guoqiang was stunned at first, and then complained in a somewhat joking tone.

"Those who can work harder, right, my big political commissar." Zhang Songling put on a posture of I trust you very much, and patted the other party on the shoulder hard, "Besides, you also know that I went this time, not only to ease the relationship between our guerrillas and the Right Banner Palace, I have to explain to Si Qin what you did for the two of them, otherwise, you will be scolded every day for being a square coffin, aren't you unlucky?" ”

"Anyway, you have a point." Fang Guoqiang was moved in his heart, but he was still unconvinced.

"Of course, I'm the captain." Zhang Songling raised his head proudly, and his face was full of happiness that took advantage of you and made you grateful.

Fang Guoqiang glanced at him, smiled helplessly, the two smiled at each other, and then laughed, the little estrangement in his heart disappeared with the laughter, and the scenery outside the window also became vibrant in an instant.
