Early in the morning, the Eighth Route Army went south to the headquarters of the vanguard regiment of the column.

The conference room of the regiment headquarters is not large, and the configuration is very simple. On the west wall of the wall hangs a map of Shaanxi, and above it hangs a print of the chairman and the commander-in-chief. In the middle of the empty room was a long table with several clay pots and teacups being the only items, and on four sides of the table were several worn-out benches.

When the sun rose on the top of the hill outside the village, several commanders of the Eighth Route Army sat around and were discussing something.

On the west side of the dilapidated table sat Lei Wancheng, the commander of the regiment in his thirties, and Jiang Hongfei, a political commissar of a similar age, Zhou Yu and Han Weimin, instructors of the newly formed Seventh Company, to the north, and Shen Cunzhi and Yang Chenghu to the south.

After looking at the information in his hand and looking at everyone present, Commander Lei handed a piece of paper in his hand to Jiang Hongfei, the political commissar beside him, and habitually touched his tiger whiskers.

"The information sent by the headquarters is basically the same as Comrade Zhou Yu's description, it seems that although Comrade Zhao Shixun has participated in the Eighth Route Army for a very short time, he has a very high military quality and determination to resist the war, and I think it is correct to appoint this Zhao Shixun to lead a company alone, and the new supplementary seventh company will be changed to the seventh company directly under the regiment, and the troop establishment will continue to be retained."

Speaking of this, Lei Wancheng looked at everyone present and pointed to the information at hand.

"The organization and training level of the former Hengqu County Brigade is good, the officers and men are familiar with each other, and the combat methods are flexible; if they are split and integrated into other units, it will be detrimental to the display of combat effectiveness. My opinion remains the same, although he was a former Kuomintang officer, but this does not interfere with the overall situation. Now that the situation of the struggle is complex and severe, we should first believe in our comrades. ”

Lei Wancheng said his thoughts, and then crossed his arms and looked at the comrades beside him and smiled.

"Lao Lei is right, I think so too, our team has suffered a lot of losses recently, and the external struggle environment is very bad. The troops need to be joined by a new force that is capable of combat. Although the Hengqu County Brigade has not been established for a long time, its combat effectiveness is beyond doubt. Moreover, after the downsizing, everyone's establishment is basically full, and there is no shortage of personnel in each unit for the time being, so there is no need to split and supplement according to the original plan. ”

"If you have any opinions, you can speak democratically."

Political Commissar Jiang Hongfei glanced at the surprising qualifications on the piece of paper again, and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph...... I still say the same thing, I don't agree to let the person surnamed Zhao stay in our group. I don't agree even more with letting him lead a unit alone, I don't trust him! ”

Yang Chenghu, the commander of the spy company, stiffened his neck, snorted and was the first to stand up to express his objection. Since learning that Zhao Shixun was a former Kuomintang deserter, Yang Chenghu seems to be on the same page as Zhao Shixun.

"What is the origin of this kid? The reactionary warlord rich boy who ran away from the northeast is not counted. More than 200,000 people can't even defend Zhongtiao Mountain! And face as our comrades-in-arms? ”

Speaking of this, Yang Chenghu glanced at everyone present, deliberately raised his voice and said:

"Fight devils with him, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up if he runs too fast! I, Yang Chenghu, will not fight devils side by side with this kind of person. ”

"You talk nonsense! Captain Zhao is a man, he will never run away! I can guarantee it. ”

The more I listened to it, the more it was not a taste, and the more I listened to it, the more outrageous it became, Zhou Yu couldn't help it, and interrupted Yang Chenghu's words loudly.

"Yo he...... you promise? What do you know about the boy who hasn't grown his hair? How did he survive the Battle of Nakajo Mountain without escaping? The commanders of the Third Army are dead, and he has survived as a guard unit until now, what is he if he is not a deserter?! Our Eighth Route Army is a devil-fighting army, not a rag-fighting army. ”

Yang Chenghu said louder and louder, and finally even pointed at Zhou Yu's nose and dumbfounded Zhou Yuding.

"You ......, how can you say that? Captain Zhao saved our lives and desperately helped us escort the medicines urgently needed in the base area, how can you say that about him! ”

Zhou Yu was choked up, stood up suddenly, glared at Yang Chenghu and said.

"Lao Yang, how do you talk to Instructor Zhou? Sit down. Old Yang! ”

Han Weimin and Shen Cunzhi saw that the two were arguing very fiercely, and Yang Chenghu even pointed to someone else's nose. Seeing that the situation was not right, the two hurriedly came forward to convince them. Shen Cunzhi even grabbed Yang Chenghu's arm and pulled him hard to ask him to sit down.

Seeing that Yang Chenghu was talking more and more ugly, Lei Wancheng's face became darker and darker, and he finally couldn't help it.

Syllable.......

Slammed the table hard, jumped the teacup on the table, and Lei Wancheng stood up suddenly.

"Yang Chenghu! You're crazy, aren't you? How do you talk to the new comrades? ”

Pointing at Yang Chenghu's nose, Lei Wancheng was furious.

"People used to be the Kuomintang, what's wrong? What's in your way if people don't die on the battlefield? Comrade Zhao Shixun came all the way with the team to reinforce us without fear of hardships and dangers, and he wanted to fight the devils side by side with us, where was wrong? ”

"Tell me about you, what's wrong with you? Since yesterday, this is not right, it is not right, you have picked your nose and raised your eyes, you are so united with comrades? ”

"Company Commander Yang, how can you say that about the new comrades? Apologize to Comrade Zhou Yu! ”

Political Commissar Jiang Hongfei is a mild-tempered person, although he is not as temperamental as the regiment commander, but today Yang Chenghu is indeed excessive. Political Commissar Jiang pushed the eyes on the bridge of his nose and said with an unprecedentedly cold face.

Zhou Yu saw that the regiment commander and the political commissar had already supported themselves and spoke, although he was still extremely angry in his heart, he still sat down and said nothing. just glared at Yang Chenghu on the other side.

Just when everyone thought that Yang Chenghu was apologizing, Yang Chenghu, who was pulled down by Shen Cunzhi, broke free and sat up. Due to the violent movement, even the stool was knocked over, and it fell to the ground with a sway.

Glaring at everyone, Yang Chenghu tore off the clothes on his chest, leaked out his shirtless upper body, pointed to a hideous scar at the base of his neck and roared:

"Lao Tzu just doesn't trust the Kuomintang! This scar is the result of Lao Tzu's belief in them. When Lao Tzu was lying in the hospital bed, did they treat us as comrades?

They killed so many of our comrades in Jinxi back then, and I, Yang Chenghu, will never forget it! ”

Looking at the hideous scar on Yang Chenghu's body, everyone was collectively silent. Indeed, in the Jinxi Incident a year ago, the Shanxi anti-Japanese forces of the Eighth Route Army were attacked by the troops of the Shanxi Kuomintang Second War Zone, and many comrades did not die under the guns of the Japanese army, but fell under the butcher's knife of the Kuomintang army behind them.

Yang Chenghu was the company commander of the three main divisions of the Eighth Route Army, and after being seriously wounded in the war against Japan in the autumn of 1940, while being treated in the headquarters hospital of the Eighth Route Army located in the rear of western Shanxi at that time, the hospital was suddenly attacked by the Kuomintang troops in the second war zone. Since there were not many main forces of the Eighth Route Army near the hospital at that time, after the defensive line was breached, the Kuomintang troops quickly occupied the hospital. In the face of nearly 1,000 wounded soldiers of the Eighth Route Army, they not only did not give them treatment, but wantonly slaughtered the wounded, causing the Jinxi Incident that shocked China and the rest of the world.

At that time, Yang Chenghu was recuperating from his injuries in the hospital, and he was stabbed by a soldier of the Jin Suijun Army in his hospital bed and did not die, witnessing the whole process of the Kuomintang massacring his comrades. Stimulated by this, Yang Chenghu never believed in the Kuomintang again.

The regiment commander and political commissar, as well as many people in the vanguard regiment, knew what happened to Yang Chenghu, but in order to unite the overall situation of the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army of the Jinxi Incident finally chose to reconcile with the Kuomintang. So everyone hid this scar, gritted their teeth and continued to unite to resist the war.

may have been too stimulated, Yang Chenghu has been haunted by this matter. Now after learning that Zhao Shixun is a Kuomintang deserter in the Shanxi Second War Zone, Yang Chenghu feels that the scar on his body has been ruthlessly uncovered again, and he is once again heart......broken.

"Company Commander Yang...... Alas...... I know what happened to you. When we learned about the incident, who was not angry and hated that we couldn't immediately kill and take revenge. But now that the Japanese invaders are raging and the nation is in danger, we have to look forward, we can't dwell on those old things, unite to resist the war, and save the country is the overall situation. ”

Speaking of this, Political Commissar Jiang picked up a document and stood up, looked at everyone and said seriously:

"Do you have any objections to the order to appoint Comrade Zhao Shixun as the commander of the newly formed seventh company directly under the vanguard regiment of the southbound column in the southern Jinnan area?"

After waiting for a while, seeing that no one spoke, Jiang Hongfei glanced at the head of the regiment and continued:

"Since there are no objections, then the regimental commander and I will sign the appointment and report it to the brigade headquarters."

After saying this, Jiang Hongfei sat down, took out the pen he carried with him and began to sign.

"I disagree! I have an opinion. I....... ”

Yang Chenghu saw the political commissar signing, regardless of the pull of the people around him, and said stubbornly.

"The minority obeys the majority!"

The head of the regiment, Lei Wancheng, saw that Yang Chenghu still couldn't turn around, and interrupted Yang Chenghu with a black face.

"Humph!"

was blocked by the head of the regiment, Yang Chenghu was angry, and rushed out of the conference room with a flick of his hand.

"Old Yang, old Yang...... You're back! ”

Seeing this, Shen Cunzhi and Han Weimin hurriedly stood up and were about to chase after them.

"Ignore his ......, brainless thing...... We continue to meet. ”

Stopping the first battalion commander and the second company commander, Lei Wancheng sighed and sat down with a dark face. Although he was very angry with Yang Chenghu's behavior, Lei Wancheng couldn't bear to reprimand Yang Chenghu too much, after all, no matter who encountered that incident, he would leave an unsolvable knot in his heart.

After signing the letter of appointment, the commissar called a correspondent and asked for the order to be reported to the higher authorities and put on the record.

After solving the personnel problem, Captain Lei glanced at his watch.

"Guard!"

"Here!"

"You go to the station of the Seventh Company and call Company Commander Zhao Shixun over, and say that the meeting is in advance, and ask him to come over for a meeting in a hurry.

By the way, let Lao Li, who is in the cooking class, bring six breakfasts to the conference room, and we will eat here directly after the meeting. ”

…… To be continued, ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
