With Shi Ziyu's order, dozens of soldiers of the Jin Sui Army immediately ran over with a smile, and began to march towards Dingjiawa with a big car.

Seeing that Shi Ziyu didn't mean to treat himself as an outsider at all, Zhao Shixun was so happy that he didn't say anything. Anyway, these grains are also to be given to the 70th Division, and it is the same thing to be early or late.

After the team set off, Zhao Shixun saw that Shi Ziyu was in a good mood, so he planned to tell the other party about Qi Baoshan.

In Zhao Shixun's opinion, maybe Shi Ziyu has long forgotten that there is a person like Qi Baoshan, but after all, he was a member of the Seventy Division, and Zhao Shixun wants to justifiably keep him in the Seventh Company, so it is still necessary to mention it to Shi Ziyu.

"Shi Shizuo, Zhao wants to borrow someone from you, I don't know if Shi Shizuo is willing to cut love."

"Oh? Who can still get Brother Zhao's favor in my seventy division? ”

"Well...... it's a company commander of the original artillery battalion of your 70th Division, his name is Qi Baoshan."

"Qi ......, Qi Baoshan? So ...... he is still alive? ”

Frowning, Shi Ziyu muttered a few words.

For Qi Baoshan, Shi Ziyu can be said to have a fresh memory, this soldier was angry enough at that time, if it wasn't for the army's heart, he would have wanted to collapse him at that time. After the last battle, Shi Ziyu thought that the commando team was completely wiped out, but he didn't expect him to be alive.

"What? Is there anything difficult about the Stone Master? ”

Seeing that Shi Ziyu fell into deep thought, Zhao Shixun said lightly on the side.

"Oh...... no. Since Brother Zhao can afford him, then just use it. It's just that this Qi Baoshan has a weird temper, I'm afraid it will provoke Brother Zhao to lose his temper. ”

For this Qi Baoshan, Shi Ziyu didn't pay attention to it at all. After the artillery battalion existed in name only, Qi Baoshan became a useless chicken rib for Shi Ziyu, and his role was even inferior to that of an ordinary infantry officer. Rather than letting him continue to stay here and make himself blocked, it is better to send a favor to the Eighth Route Army officer in front of him.

"Hehe, then I'll thank Shi Shizuo in advance.

By the way, I don't know how your army has been in contact with the commander of our column recently. ”

Zhao Shixun has been in contact with the 70th Division for a few days, and as the situation becomes more and more dangerous, he wants to know more and more about the attitude of the 70th Division.

I don't have a radio station, so it is impossible to get in touch with the commander who hid in the mountains in time, so I can only hope to figure out some ways from Shi Ziyu's words.

"Oh...... we've been in contact a few times, and your army has provided us with some information, but we still need to stay here for a while."

Without the slightest emotional fluctuation, Shi Ziyu replied lightly with a few innocuous words.

Looking at the other party's back, Zhao Shixun unconsciously slowed down, and completely lost patience with the cooperation with the 70th Division in his heart.

From Shi Ziyu's words, Zhao Shixun could clearly feel the dispensable attitude in the other party's heart.

Zhao Shixun knew in his heart that letting the 70th Division disperse and retreat to the mountains like a column to fight guerrillas was obviously difficult for Shi Ziyu to accept. With his temperament, he felt that the Eighth Route Army should go out of the mountains and then cooperate with the 70th Division to fight the Japanese army.

As for scattering into the mountains to fight guerrilla attacks against the Japanese army, Shi Ziyu didn't forget to think about that direction at all. Maybe in his heart, even if he can't stand in Jinnan, he can break through and go to Henan to continue to resist the Japanese, and there is no need to disperse to the mountains to fight guerrillas.

Regarding Shi Ziyu's thoughts, Zhao Shixun can already guess eight or nine. Since this is the case, Zhao Shixun does not plan to stay in Dingjiawa any longer.

However, although he had an idea in his heart, Zhao Shixun did not plan to say it today. His own troops were very tired after two days of continuous marching operations. Although Ding Jiawa is not a place to stay for a long time, at least he can let his people sleep peacefully and rest well.

……

After returning to Dingjiawa, everyone in the Seventh Company finally slept beautifully. As soon as many soldiers touched the kang, they fell directly on it, and then slept until dawn the next day.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, a few walking snow lotus flowers occasionally drifted through the clear sky, hiding the sun and sprinkling a burst of shade.

Zhao Shixun held a cigarette in his mouth and leaned leisurely against the small tree in the yard. looked at the busy Qi Baoshan in the yard with interest.

At this time, he was carefully drawing a plan of the bullet road line on a homemade blackboard with chalk made of lime.

From the beginning of the morning to the present, Qi Baoshan has been busy by himself except for eating for a while.

At first, the soldiers in the courtyard didn't know what he was doing, and they all looked around with a smile.

In the end, Zhou Yu saw some eyebrows and asked a few soldiers to hurry up to help Qi Baoshan.

said that it was a blackboard, but in fact, Qi Baoshan mixed a little pulverized coal with plant ash, and then painted a boxy place on one of the walls of the yard. Zhou Yu had seen this thing before at the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and many of the Eighth Route Army's literacy classes were organized.

After a while, seeing that Qi Baoshan had almost finished painting, Zhao Shixun raised his hand and called the herald Shao Fei over.

"Go, call all the fighters over, let the soldiers of the second platoon sit in the front, and the others sit in the back."

"Yes!"

Not long after, the remaining 70 or so soldiers of the 7th Company were all sitting on the ground in front of the improvised blackboard.

Seeing that the soldiers were almost seated, Zhao Shixun found an opportunity to step forward and whispered in Qi Baoshan's ear:

"Well...... brother. Ninety out of ten of my soldiers are illiterate people who can't read a lot of big characters, and when you talk for a while, you can be simpler, and if you can write less, you can write less. ”

Hearing this, Qi Baoshan paused for a moment, then lowered his head and pondered for a while.

"Don't worry, Company Commander Zhao, I have my own way."

Seeing that the other party looked confident, Zhao Shixun didn't say more, and instead prepared to go down and lean on the small tree to continue to be his audience.

At this moment, Zhao Shixun heard the whispers of several fighters.

"Alas...... What's the black painting on this wall? ”

"I don't know, I said that the new acting platoon commander of the second platoon drew it. I don't understand what kind of ballistics or something like that. ”

"You don't understand, and I don't understand. At least you can write your own name, but I can't read a single big character, but I have heard that cannon shooting is a technical job, and you have to be literate to learn it. ”

"No, if I want to talk about this, let the second platoon learn it by myself, and I might as well practice shooting and bayonets when I have this time."

"That's it, it's ......."

Hearing this, Zhao Shixun's face darkened, and then he strode to the front.

"What are you twittering for! Isn't it full and holding on! ”

With Zhao Shixun's drinking, the audience was silent for an instant.

Looking at the soldiers sitting on the ground below, Zhao Shixun pointed to the blackboard behind him and said:

"Brother Qi is an engineer in the arsenal, and it is our honor that he can put down his body and give lectures to us big soldiers!

Do you think that's the only thing that artillerymen need to learn?

Yes! ”

The tiger glanced at everyone, and Zhao Shixun casually picked up a grenadier and looked at the people on the field.

"You can recall how many of our good brothers have died at the hands of the little devils' shells. Can any of you tell me how the shells fly and how to hide them? Can anyone explain?! ”

Zhao Shixun's words echoed in the courtyard, and the soldiers in the field lowered their heads in shame.

"You remember, even if you are not an artillery soldier and you don't need to open fire, then you have to listen to Lao Tzu and learn hard! At the very least, you have to learn how to dodge the cannon and how to save your life, understand! ”

"Understood......."

"Be louder, haven't you eaten breakfast?!"

"Understood!!"

……。

Looking at the back of Zhao Shixun walking down, Qi Baoshan relieved himself from the shock after a while. Qi Baoshan has seen too many soldiers, and Zhao Shixun always gives him a little different, as for what is different, Qi Baoshan can't figure it out for a while.

Looking at the dozens of immature and serious faces in the audience, Qi Baoshan coughed lightly, then picked up a prepared hay ball with a straw fork, took out a match and lit it.

As the grass burned, a thick smoke began to emit out.

In the puzzled eyes of everyone in the audience, Qi Baoshan threw out the burning grass ball vigorously, leaving a clear arc in the sky.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you see that smoke in the sky, this is ballistic ......."

……

Two days later, at noon.

On a mountain ridge outside Dingjiawa Village, Qi Baoshan was explaining the method of freehand ranging to the soldiers of the second platoon at this time.

Near them, the Great Pillar led the rest of the warriors to train in mountain ambush warfare.

In the woods not far away, Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu were looking at the information they had just gotten from the Jiangxian underground party.

Just this morning, the underground party in Jiangxian County found Ding Jiawa's 70th Division, and finally contacted Zhao Shixun and them directly.

During this time, due to the lack of a radio station, the Seventh Company completely lost contact with its superiors. In addition, Shi Ziyu's attitude towards the joint operations of the Eighth Route Army not only made it difficult to implement the original plan to borrow the radio of the 70th Division to contact the column, but also made the Seventh Company blind and deaf.

Just when Zhao Shixun and Zhou Yu were worried, the commander of the column finally contacted the Seventh Company stationed in Dingjiawa through the liaison of the underground party.

According to the information forwarded by the underground party, the Japanese Kurosawa Wing on the northern front has moved south from Jinzhong, and about two infantry brigades, one field artillery squadron, and two battalions of the puppet army have been dispatched.

On the Eastern Front, the Takeuchi Wing, the stronghold of the 69th Division of the Japanese Army, dispatched two infantry brigades, a field artillery squadron, a transport squadron and a regiment of the new 33rd Brigade of the puppet army. Among them, the vanguard of the Hasegawa Infantry Brigade of the Takeuchi Wing had already arrived in Jiangxian yesterday.

…… To be continued.
