Brigade Commander Zhang was a resolute soldier, and as soon as he returned, he sent people to the 66th Regiment.

The man with a guard, on horseback and with luggage, hurried to the station of the 66th Regiment, and it was already nightfall.

Li Siwei got the report and hurriedly greeted him, his face full of enthusiasm, "Welcome, welcome." ”

The person who came was dressed in military uniform, with the rank of major, in his thirties, with a thin figure, but his waist was very straight, and his face was full of determination.

"Smack", he saluted Li Siwei with a serious face, "Zheng Sanyang, the staff officer of the new 16th Brigade, is ordered to report to you." ”

As he spoke, he took out a letter of appointment and handed it over.

Li Siwei was stunned, took the letter of appointment and looked at it, "snap", and returned the salute, "Staff Officer Zheng, the 66th Regiment welcomes your arrival, and you have worked hard all the way...... Gan Fei, take Staff Officer Zheng to the room first. ”

The letter of appointment was signed by Brigade Commander Luo, and it was said that Zheng Sanyang would be the chief of staff of the 66th Regiment in the future.

"Yes," Gan Fei hurriedly agreed.

Li Siwei's room added a small bed, which was a little crowded, Zheng Sanyang showed no signs of dislike, and as soon as he settled down, he took the initiative to find Li Siwei, "Leader, when will the Japanese class start?" ”

Li Siwei smiled, "No hurry...... It's a little late today, so let's eat first. ”

Zheng Sanyang hesitated, "Look...... Let's start after eating, okay? ”

Li Siwei was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Then it's hard for you." ”

Zheng Sanyang shook his head, "What should be done in a humble position." ”

Li Siwei smiled, "Since you have arrived in the third regiment, you are my brother Li Dacang, don't be humble in the future, it sounds awkward." ”

Zheng Sanyang was stunned for a moment and nodded slowly.

"That's right," Li Siwei smiled with satisfaction, "Let's go to the conference room first and get to know everyone." ”

Because of Zheng Sanyang's arrival, the regular meeting in the evening was held in advance, and dinner was delivered to the conference room.

Li Siwei gave a brief introduction to everyone and got to the point, "Staff Officer Zheng is going to start teaching everyone Japanese tonight, the brothers of the special service company will come to class, and the other brothers will adopt the principle of voluntariness." ”

As soon as Li Siwei's words fell, Liao Heiniu smiled, "Count me as Lao Tzu." ”

Shi Meng was unwilling, "I also want to learn." ”

"And my ......" everyone echoed, enthusiastic.

Zheng Sanyang was a little surprised, "To be honest, on the battlefield, Japanese is not very useful......"

At this time, the greatest use is nothing more than intelligence work and persuasion of prisoners.

Li Siwei smiled, "Staff Officer Zheng, as the saying goes, art is not pressing, if you have time, you should study more...... Learning makes people progress! ”

Zheng Sanyang was stunned for a moment and nodded, learning makes people progress, but there are very few people who really insist on learning, especially the soldiers who are precarious!

Li Siwei looked around at everyone with a whole expression, "It's a good thing that everyone is enthusiastic, but learning a language is not a simple matter...... If any turtle retreats halfway, Lao Tzu will not spare him. ”

"How?" Everyone laughed, they all knew the battle mode of the old third regiment, if others learned Japanese and didn't learn it themselves, then they would definitely lose a lot of fighting opportunities in future battles.

After dinner, the first Japanese class began in the conference room, where the battalion company commander and the squad leader of the special service company filled the conference room.

In such an era, the soldiers certainly did not have the conditions to hold a pen and paper to listen to the class, but fortunately, this was a speaking class, and more attention was paid to practice.

In class, Zheng Sanyang's face lost his previous seriousness, and he spoke more colloquially, "Brothers, to speak Japanese well, we must not only be able to speak Japanese words, but also imitate the Japanese way of speaking...... For example, if you meet a Japanese man named Yoshio Yamaguchi, how do you say hello? ”

"Just call it brother, right?"

"It's called a righteous man, right?"

"It's called Yamaguchi ......"

The soldiers said with a smile, Li Siwei knew a little bit, but he was silent.

Zheng Sanyang shook his head, "They usually call, Yamaguchi-kun...... For another example, when they meet their own commanders, they will not call them positions, but military ranks......"

In class, Zheng Sanyang talked eloquently, his words were simple and vivid, and the soldiers learned a lot of things.

Before I knew it, the lights out horn sounded.

Zheng Sanyang looked around at everyone, "That's all for today......"

"Staff Officer Zheng," Liao Heiniu smiled, "What did your ancestors say in Japanese?" ”

Zheng Sanyang's face suddenly froze.

"Hei Niu," Li Siwei hurriedly got up and glared at Liao Hei Niu, "What are you doing with this?" ”

Liao Heiniu was stunned, "Of course it's scolding the little devil......"

Li Siwei smiled bitterly, "Isn't it different for you to scold in Sichuan?" ”

Liao Heiniu shook his head, "How can it be the same?" Lao Tzu scolded in Sichuan dialect, and the little devil couldn't understand it, there was a ball? ”

"Yes, yes," the other brothers echoed, "scolding is meant to let the little devils listen, if they don't understand, won't they scold in vain?" ”

Li Siwei was stunned and turned his head to look at Zheng Sanyang.

Zheng Sanyang had already understood, and smiled, "Yes, if you scold them, you have to make them understand!" That's how it should be said......"

So, since then, every time a Japanese class ends, a crooked Japanese call sign rings in the conference room.

Back in the small room, Li Siwei took out half a box of cigarettes from under the pillow, took out two and handed them to Lu Yongnian and Zheng Sanyang.

Lu Yongnian took the cigarette and smiled, "It turned out to be hidden here, I knew that Lao Tzu took it himself." ”

Zheng Sanyang waved his hand, "I won't." ”

Li Siwei and Lu Yongnian were both stunned, "Good thing, really won't it?" ”

Zheng Sanyang smiled slightly, "I really won't." ”

With that, he sat on the edge of the bed and picked up a book, "It's okay to turn off the lights later, right?" ”

"No problem," Li Siwei nodded with a smile and glanced at his bedside, "There are a lot of books." ”

Zheng Sanyang smiled, "Personal hobby." ”

Lu Yongnian also came over, "Staff Officer Zheng, why didn't I see you when I was at the brigade headquarters?" ”

Zheng Sanyang shook his head, "I just transferred it not long ago. ”

Lu Yongnian nodded, picked up a book casually, "Lend me a look." ”

Zheng Sanyang nodded, "Please." ”

Li Siwei also leaned over, flipped through it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Infantry drill code? ”

Zheng Sanyang glanced at Li Siwei, "The head of the regiment hasn't read it before?" ”

Li Siwei smiled, "I've heard of such a book for a long time, but I haven't had a chance to read it. ”

Lu Yongnian smiled, "Commander, I think it's not very useful...... The training in the regiment was already very good, and a lot of experience was more practical than in the book. ”

Zheng Sanyang was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Indeed, the experience of many front-line troops is exchanged for blood and lives by soldiers, which is more practical than the books. ”

Li Siwei shook his head, "The experience of the soldiers is valuable, but in terms of systematization, this book is a little stronger, and there is still a lot to learn." ”

Li Siwei also read a lot of books in his previous life, and he felt that "it is better to believe in books than to have no books" There is some truth, but each book embodies the author's hard work and wisdom, no matter how redundant, no matter how boring, there is always something to be desired, and "taking its essence and removing its dross" is the way to read.

So, the three of them sat on the bed and read silently, and the room was quiet.

As Li Siwei said, in terms of the systematization of knowledge, the "Infantry Drill Code" is much stronger than their own experience, but there are still many deficiencies in it...... At this time, with the experience on the battlefield, it is much easier to read again, and it is not small to gain a lot from the false and the true.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Yongnian closed the book, "I have to sleep, and I have to get up early tomorrow." ”

Li Siwei raised his head and smiled, "In the future, you don't have to get up so early, don't you have a trumpeter." ”

Lu Yongnian shook his head, "Get used to it." ”

Li Siwei smiled, "Is it that Qiulu is not in the bed, so you can't sleep?" ”

Lu Yongnian smiled, "Young man, ......"

Zheng Sanyang also closed the book, looking puzzled, "Qiu Lu? ”

Li Siwei smiled: "It's Yongnian's newly married daughter-in-law." ”

Zheng Sanyang smiled, "I was like this when I was young...... It's not easy to abandon your family and children to go to the front line. ”

Lu Yongnian sighed, "I just hope this damn war will end soon." ”

The lights went out, and the three of them lay on the bed tossing and turning, but each had their own thoughts and couldn't fall asleep.

The melodious wake-up call sounded, and the garrison of the 66th Regiment awoke from its slumber and began to make noise.

The first time he participated in the morning meeting, Zheng Sanyang was deeply shocked, he has been in the army for almost ten years, the first time he participated in such a morning meeting, he couldn't help but be enthusiastic, and when he looked at Li Siwei again, there was more inexplicable look in his eyes.

On the new day, Li Siwei put forward some new training requirements, some of which he learned from the "Infantry Drill Code", and some of which he was inspired by the "Infantry Drill Code" and figured it out by himself.

Different people can read different things in the same book!

The same book, the same person can read different things at different stages of life!

As the new chief of staff of the 66th Regiment, Zheng Sanyang learned about the training situation in the regiment throughout the whole process, and said to Li Siwei in private: "I can't make any suggestions about training. ”

Li Siwei just smiled, "Don't worry, the problem is slowly exposed in the continuous battle, and in the future, there will be many places where you need to make suggestions." ”

Zheng Sanyang sighed, "Let the veteran show up and say the ...... Only our regiment dares to do such a thing? ”

Li Siwei was stunned, "Why?" ”

Zheng Sanyang shook his head and smiled wryly, "Many of the recruits in the army are strong men who have been temporarily recruited, and they don't have the same morale as those soldiers in our regiment......

Li Siwei was silent, in his previous life, he had heard about the arrest of Zhuang Ding...... Indeed, thousands of troops are easy to find, but morale is difficult to gather!

No matter how much training is perfected, time goes by.

At noon that day, the radio in Luohe Town rang out, and a news spread throughout the town: Wuhan was bombed by the Japanese army!

Wuhan is composed of three towns, Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang, located at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Hanjiang River, connecting the Pinghan and Guangdong-Hanzhou railways, and is the heart hinterland of China and the east-west-north-south water and land transportation hub, which has always had an extremely important strategic position.

In 1938, Wuhan became the focus of world public opinion, the center of the national War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the spiritual fortress of the people of the whole country.

On 29 April, in celebration of Emperor Hirohito's birthday, the Japanese army carried out a large-scale bombing of Wuhan, focusing on the Hanyang Arsenal. Suddenly, the air raid sirens sounded in the sky, the city was full of flames, and the national air force and the Japanese invaders launched a fierce battle, and finally drove away the enemy planes, but the fierce bombing still caused incalculable losses to the soldiers and civilians in the city.

After the broadcast, the officers and men of the 66th Regiment were already indignant.

Liao Heiniu walked straight in front of Li Siwei, "Cannon, I can't wait any longer...... Let's go to the love war! ”

"Yes," everyone agreed, "Commander, go and ask for battle!" ”

Li Siwei's gaze slowly swept over everyone, and his voice sank, "Okay!" ”

Let's fight! Let's fight!

How can you be bullied! How can a dignified and hot-blooded soldier enjoy peace in the rear!
