Chapter 113: My War (Part II)

Even if the same story is told by different people, the taste is different! This is the charm of language and the subtlety of emotion.

Li Siwei is naturally not an orator, but before speaking, he will think as much as possible, what should he say? What can't you say? What do you say?

So, he tossed and turned for most of the night, and did not fall asleep until the early hours of the morning.

The melodious wake-up call sounded, Li Siwei woke up from his dream, got up in a hurry, and sorted out his clothes...... A new day has begun.

The routine morning meeting ended with loud singing, and the song "Defending Wuhan" made the soldiers enthusiastic.

The armed cross-country was moved to before breakfast, and the soldiers were all in good spirits, and finally they didn't have to run sweaty against the sun.

In the morning, there was queue training, fighting training, and assassination training.

After lunch, the sun was poisoning, and the companies pulled back to their barracks, and Li Siwei took a battalion commander directly to the engineer company.

The engineer company of the old third regiment was almost completely wiped out, and there were only more than a dozen survivors, and the rest were all recruits who had just been replenished in Luohe.

Luo Ping'an had already been notified, and after the queue was completed, he waited at the door of the barracks, and saw Li Siwei and his party coming over, and saluted with a "snap", "Salute!" ”

The officers and men of the whole company hurriedly saluted, and their movements were neat and uniform, which was quite imposing.

"Smack", Li Siwei replied, his eyes swept over the officers and soldiers, and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it's a bit elite." ”

When Luo Ping'an heard this, he smiled, "Commander, please come in...... This one...... What is going to happen? ”

Li Siwei strode in, "Hehe, other companies are taking firearms classes, and your speech is a pilot...... You can take your time. ”

The barracks were not spacious, several roads and shops occupied most of the house, and the soldiers crowded the aisles one by one, and Li Siwei and his party of more than ten people went in, and the barracks became even more crowded.

Li Siwei frowned, "That's it, the brothers all sit on the bed...... Let's take it easy, and let's do it. ”

Everyone was stunned and looked hesitant...... Pull homely?

Luo Ping'an glanced at Li Siwei, gritted his teeth, and yelled at the brothers: "Listen to the head of the regiment, let Lao Tzu sit on the bed, pay attention to discipline!" ”

All the soldiers sat down on the edge of the bed, and the barracks suddenly became less crowded.

Li Siwei nodded with satisfaction, walked inside with a battalion company commander, and sat down at the head of a bed in the middle.

Everyone sat down one after another and looked at Li Siwei.

Li Siwei looked around at everyone, "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, so from today onwards, there will be no armed off-road in the afternoon." ”

"Yes!" Everyone was in high spirits and their faces were full of joy.

Li Siwei smiled slightly, "However, brothers can't be idle, take this time, let's make a speech, that is, tell stories, let the veterans talk about the things on the battlefield, talk about their own affairs......"

As he spoke, Li Siwei looked at the recruits, "Many brothers haven't been on the battlefield yet, right?" ”

"Yes," many of the recruits nodded repeatedly.

Li Siwei smiled, "As for me, I was born in the Sichuan army, and before the war, I was similar to you, belonging to the local garrison, and I was in Jiangcheng...... At that time, there were occasional wars, but they were just grabbing some territory and fighting bandits...... Some of you must have fought bandits, right? ”

"Hit?" A recruit shouted.

Li Siwei looked at them with a smile on his face, "How do you feel?" Isn't it hard? ”

"It's not hard," some of the recruits grinned, "and we're chasing them." ”

Li Siwei nodded, "Yes, since ancient times, officers and soldiers have chased bandits!" To be honest, when I was in Jiangcheng, Lao Tzu also felt that it was very easy to fight, and when the Anti-Japanese War broke out, my brothers and I were filled with righteous indignation, and we ran to Shanghai with high spirits to fight the national war...... From Jiangcheng, through Guizhou, walked for a few days and nights, and then came to Hunan and got on the train, when it arrived in Shanghai, it was already a pot of porridge, and hurriedly went to the battlefield, but when I saw the situation, Lao Tzu was stupid at that time, guess why? ”

Everyone was stunned, "Why?" ”

Liao Heiniu pursed his lips at this time, his face was strange, in his memory, this turtle did not look a little surprised at that time.

Li Siwei sighed, "Brothers, when I arrived at the battlefield, I felt that I had fought those battles before, and it was simply playing at home!" ”

Everyone looked at Li Siwei with doubts on their faces.

Li Siwei shook his head, "Turtle's, the sky is densely packed with airplanes, and the shells are like rain, Lao Tzu has seen this formation in Jiangcheng...... At that time, I was stunned, and before I could come back to my senses, the cannonball fell, the sky shook, and my head was blank...... When Lao Tzu came back to his senses, the shells had stopped, and Lao Tzu felt weak. ”

"Hehe," the crowd burst into laughter.

Li Siwei glared, "Laugh hammer, you turtles go up, maybe you have to pee your pants." ”

"No," everyone shook their heads, unconvinced.

Li Siwei sighed, "Don't believe it, when the smoke clears, Lao Tzu looked around and almost urinated...... The brothers around them were gone, the trenches were already scorched, many of them had been blown into pieces, the broken arms and legs were flying everywhere, some were still smoking, and the smell was like roasted meat...... That's a miserable one. ”

At this moment, all the soldiers were silent, only Li Siwei's deep voice was still slowly ringing, "At that time, Lao Tzu felt that hell on earth was like this, the whole person was stupid, and his body didn't obey the call...... It was still your battalion commander Liao who pushed Lao Tzu and woke him up. ”

Everyone was silent, many of them had heard the veterans talk about Li Siwei's heroic past, but few people knew about this past.

Li Siwei continued: "When Lao Tzu came back to his senses, he realized that it was the old squad leader who was calling me...... I even ran over with a rolling belt, only to see clearly, the old squad leader's two thighs were gone, lying in the arms of the yellow cat, and the person was dying, he looked at me and said, cannon...... Don't be afraid...... Don't be afraid...... Take the brothers to fight the devil well......"

Li Siwei said, his voice was a little choked, "The old squad leader finished speaking...... It's gone......"

Li Siwei stopped and was silent for a long time.

A brother asked softly, "What happened later?" ”

Li Siwei shook his head, "Lao Tzu was stupid at the time, and at this time, the little devil began to charge...... Your battalion commander Liao saw that I was stupid, and when I came up, I kicked Lao Tzu to the ground, and he said, don't pretend to be cowardly, the 26th Division didn't cowardly it...... Lao Tzu was kicked and scolded by him, but he was not so afraid, afraid of a hammer! Little devils are also human beings, so I don't believe that I can't kill them! At that time, there were only six people left in our class, but the old men simply repelled the charge of the little devils...... Hehe, no matter how powerful the little devils' artillery fire is, they are also human, and they will die! I'm afraid of a hammer......"

"Yes, yes, I'm afraid of a hammer!" The brothers echoed and looked excited.

Li Siwei nodded, "Later, ......"

Li Siwei narrated the subsequent events, sometimes thrilling, sometimes turning danger into relief, sometimes tragic and desolate, and sometimes happy...... The soldiers listened with relish, sometimes looking nervous, sometimes with tears in their eyes, sometimes full of righteous indignation, and sometimes shouting with joy.

After Li Siwei finished speaking, he looked at his watch, "Brothers, this is the war we are about to face, our enemy is far more ferocious and cunning than imagined, in the face of such an enemy, first of all, we must not be afraid of ......"

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! The eyes of the soldiers were blazing.

Li Siwei nodded, "It's not enough to be afraid, you can't panic or mess up, they are cunning, and Lao Tzu will be more cunning than them; They are fierce, and Lao Tzu will be more fierce than them...... Why do Lao Tzu's land let them run rampant? Why should the compatriots of Lao Tzu let them bully? Get them out and go back to their island! ”

"Get them out! Hurry back to their island! The soldiers were outraged.

Li Siwei nodded, "Today, that's all, starting tomorrow, every day from one to three o'clock in the afternoon, each company will hold such a meeting, and all veterans can volunteer to come up and talk about your experience on the battlefield and your experience......"

Li Siwei came out of the engineer company and went straight to the conference room with a group of battalion and company commanders.

Everyone sat down, Li Siwei looked around at everyone, "In the future, all the speeches can be done like this, let the veterans go up and talk about their experience on the battlefield, they can talk about the dangers they encountered on the battlefield, and they can also talk about the heroic deeds they have seen...... As long as it's true, you can tell it! ”

"Yes!" The crowd agreed.

Li Siwei nodded, "Okay, the future training will be arranged like this, from one to three o'clock, it will be the appearance of the veteran, followed by the firearms class and tactics class, and then the shooting assessment ......."

Liao Heiniu hesitated and interrupted Li Siwei, "Cannon...... If veterans don't want to go up and talk about it, you must know that not all veterans are as good as you! ”

Everyone was stunned and burst into laughter.

Li Siwei touched his nose, "Then you will take the lead in speaking to Lao Tzu, if no one still speaks, then sing ......"

"Singing?" Everyone was stunned, "Brothers will have two ......"

One song "China Will Not Die", and one song "Defending Wuhan".

Li Siwei frowned, "Then learn new songs, as long as they are patriotic songs, you can sing them......"

Everyone looks at each other, they won't, who to learn from?

Lu Yongnian smiled, "Leave this to me." ”

Li Siwei perked up, "Yes, Deputy Lu Tuan is from the military academy, he can teach you." ”

Since then, the three regiments have had a new training arrangement, and every day as soon as the bugle sounds, the brothers will be in high spirits.

Regarding the appearance of veterans, the implementation did not go smoothly at first, as Liao Heiniu said, not everyone is good at telling stories.

However, under the leadership of the officers, more and more veterans joined in, and some things, held back for too long, need to be confided.

People who are not good at storytelling, their inner emotions are often the strongest, and some veterans speak plainly, but when it comes to emotion, they often burst into tears.

Someone howled and cried, "Two dogs...... It's gone, that's me...... The best brother! ”

Someone beat his chest and paused, "It's all to blame...... Blame me, if it weren't for me...... Soft-hearted, little devil...... I can't live, old squad leader...... It's not going to die, it's all my ......."

Someone couldn't cry, "Brothers...... And he took the big sword...... Go and cut the devil's tank...... That's it......"

The recruits were touched by a lot of feelings, and at the same time, they also learned a lot.

They learned more about the dangers of the anti-Japanese battlefield, and heard from the veterans about many weapons they had never encountered before, such as reconnaissance balloons, explosive balloons, airplanes, tanks, ...... I also know how to deal with these weapons, and I also know some of the tactics commonly used by little devils, detours, infiltration......

On the morning of that day, as soon as the assembly horn sounded, the sound of horses' hooves sounded outside the garrison of the 66th Regiment.

Li Siwei got the report and hurriedly greeted him.

Brigade Commander Luo dismounted at the gate, with a smile on his face, "Commander Li, I heard that your training was very loud, so I brought my brothers to learn from the experience." ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "Where is it...... I also ask the brigade commander and all of you to give me a lot of advice. ”

Brigade Commander Luo waved his hand, "Don't be polite, take everyone around first." ”

"Yes!" Li Siwei hurriedly agreed and led everyone to the school.

The newly formed 16th Brigade, although called a brigade, has the establishment of three reinforced regiments, which is no less than one division of the local troops.

Brigade Commander Luo came here with more than a dozen officials, in addition to the commanders and deputy commanders of the other two regiments, as well as staff officers of the brigade headquarters, and everyone shuttled through the school field under the leadership of Li Siwei.

The group nodded again and again, and a young colonel officer praised: "The soldiers are vigorous and energetic, and Commander Li is really well trained!" ”

Another colonel officer nodded again and again, "Regiment Commander Zhang is right, at the same time, it is reorganized, Lao Tzu's regiment does not have this meteorological ......."

Li Siwei was about to be polite, but he heard Brigade Commander Luo say "huh" in surprise, "Commander Li, that company is good...... One by one, you can still fly the eaves and walk the wall. ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, "Report to the brigade commander, that's the special service company ......"

The brothers of the special service company were training under the eaves, and the three of them stood in a row, kicked their feet, rose up, put their hands on the eaves, and jumped onto the roof...... It is naturally an exaggeration to say that the eaves walk on the wall, but the vigorous skills are not comparable to ordinary people.

Brigade Commander Luo was stunned, "Is it the special service company that got the two company commanders?" ”

Li Siwei nodded, "Because the special service company often needs to disperse operations, a company commander is really too busy......

Brigade Commander Luo smiled, "You've already talked about this...... It's still a bit interesting to do special wars. ”

"Special operations?" The others hadn't heard Li Siwei speak, so they all looked over with some curiosity.

Li Siwei smiled, "It's not a real special operation, it's just to carry out some reconnaissance and infiltration tasks, but it's a little more demanding than ordinary scouts." ”

Head Zhang was stunned, "Taller?" Let's talk about it carefully! ”

Li Siwei hesitated, "We have captured some of the devil's equipment, in wartime, the special service company will bring two sets of preparations, if they can penetrate the rear of the devil, they will change into the same equipment as the little devil, waiting for the opportunity to destroy the important stronghold or headquarters of the little devil." ”

Head Zhang's eyes lit up, "This trick is quite practical." ”

Li Siwei shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's a pity that we are all rough people and can't speak Japanese, and we are exposed as soon as we open our mouths, and we often fail to achieve the desired effect." ”

Brigade Commander Luo was stunned for a moment, and laughed, "You said earlier, there are people in the brigade headquarters who can speak Japanese, and I will find one for you when I go back." ”

Li Siwei was overjoyed in his heart, "Thank you, brigade commander!" ”

Regiment Commander Zhang hurriedly smiled and said: "Brigade commander, you can't be partial, our regiment also has to ask for a ......."

After another regiment commander was unwilling, "There is still our regimental ......"

Brigade Commander Luo nodded happily, "Cheng, but you also have to get such a company for Lao Tzu." ”

The two company commanders nodded again and again, "No problem, the reconnaissance company will be trained as soon as it is done, but the equipment of this devil is ......"

As he spoke, the two looked at Li Siwei.

Li Siwei smiled slightly, "Cheng, I can get out the equipment of two companies, it's just ...... Ammunition is not very much. ”

The two were overjoyed, "If you have the capital, you can do it, and you want to get the ammunition yourself." ”

Brigade Commander Luo nodded, full of spirits, "That's right, as long as the brothers can unite as one, they won't have to worry about winning the battle!" ”

It wasn't until sunset that Brigade Commander Luo and his entourage returned satisfied.

Before leaving, Brigade Commander Luo looked at Li Siwei and sighed softly, "At the beginning, I thought that you were too young to be the commander of this regiment, but now, I think that you should be the commander of this regiment...... It's a gift. ”

Li Siwei hurriedly shook his head, "If you can do your part for the Anti-Japanese War, you will be satisfied with your humble position!" ”

Brigade Commander Luo glanced at him deeply, turned on his horse, and walked away.
