The old squad leader's words made Dong Ping a little helpless: "Can you not participate, I'm talking to your superior, isn't it a little bad for you to interject?" Just because of your attitude towards the chief, I don't want to stay. Have you ever seen that unit as a subordinate, and anyone who dares to speak to the commander like this? Still a bastard, I look like the military stick of the year, you still suffer less.

Dong Ping was a little dissatisfied with his answer, but the old squad leader didn't give any face and said: "You are our troops, just like over there." What we pay attention to is that the officers and men are unanimous, and the relationship between the superior and the lower ranks is equal when they get off the battlefield. Don't talk about him, it's his superior, and he is also a soldier brought out by Lao Tzu. In the army, he is Lao Tzu's superior, but in the party organization, Lao Tzu is his superior. ”

"It is true that I am the secretary of the regiment headquarters, but in terms of organizational relations, I am also the secretary of the party branch of his regiment headquarters. What does the secretary understand, but he has to listen to me in terms of organizational relations. went to the battlefield, Lao Tzu naturally listened to him. Normally, I don't want to call him a bastard, even if I call him a bastard, he will suffer it. ”

However, since he is the head of Lao Tzu, his face is damaged, that is, Lao Tzu's face is damaged. You kid doesn't know how to lift again, don't say that Lao Tzu will clean you up. I've been hungry for you, I see you're honest. I don't fucking know what your team is so worried about. It's just a ragtag army, and you really think you are a popular and spicy descendant of the Central Army. ”

"No matter how good he was, now he is also a traitor. If you kid vote for him, you will naturally become a traitor. Lao Tzu will chop you up now, and after you become a second dog, you will scourge the Chinese with the devil. Grandma's, why did Commander Sun hand over the team to such a soft bone back then? ”

Seeing that the old squad leader was a little unreasonable, Dong Ping could only shake his head and smile bitterly. But maybe it was the words of the old squad leader that played a certain role in the end. After being silent for a long time, Dong Ping finally opened his mouth and said, "Commander, I can stay." But I have two requests, and I hope you will grant them to me. ”

"One is to wait until the Anti-Japanese War is won, if I am still alive, I hope you can approve my discharge from the army and return home. From joining the army at the age of 17 in the 12th year of the Republic of China, it has been 20 years since he was a soldier and has been eating food. After so many years of fighting, I'm really tired. Now I am also forty years younger, and I can't compare with Lao He Zheng's age, and I am really a little powerless. ”

"The second is, I hope that one day if we play against my old chief, can you not let me go to the front? Although he is now a traitor, I really can't do anything in the face of those old brothers back then. I can help with some persuasion, but I hope you don't let me go to the front line. ”

For Dong Ping's two requests, Li Ziyuan pondered for a while, and finally nodded. However, Li Ziyuan also spoke: "I mean, you will be a staff officer here with me first to assist me in training." I still like your Northwest Army's training methods. However, you also have to pay attention to our discipline. ”

"I heard that in the training of the Northwest Army that year, corporal punishment was still quite severe. But with us, corporal punishment of fighters is not allowed. Of course, if you want to lead troops, it's not impossible. You can go down and become a deputy battalion commander first, but I think it's more suitable for you to stay at the regiment headquarters. ”

Seeing Li Ziyuan nodding, several people present breathed a sigh of relief. And when the old squad leader saw that the matter had finally landed, he didn't say anything more. just told Dong Ping to invite him to drink at night, and then walked away. Looking at the back of the old squad leader, Li Ziyuan, He Sanliang, and Dong Ping could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.

However, regarding Li Ziyuan's idea of wanting to stay in the regiment headquarters, Dong Ping thought about it and decided to stay in the regiment headquarters. In his own words, the years are unforgiving, and he is now a young forty, and he really can't run anymore, so it is more suitable to stay in the regiment headquarters and cooperate with He Sanliang.

As for the soldiers he brought, Dong Ping still hoped that Li Ziyuan would not force them to stay. If someone wants to leave, they will be sent away with a fare. If there are all left, I also hope that Li Ziyuan will arrange it. For Dong Ping's request, Li Ziyuan agreed. Those who are willing to stay are welcomed, and those who are not willing to stay will be given sufficient travel expenses.

After determining the general arrangement, Li Ziyuan, who was a little curious, remembered to inquire about the relationship between the two people. There is obviously a big holiday between the two people, but it is not like an enemy. Dong Ping's stubbornness he saw with his own eyes, but the old squad leader's few scolding words played a bigger role than his own bitter words.

Seeing Li Ziyuan, who looked like a curious baby, and He Sanliang, who was extremely rare over there with the same expression, Dong Ping could only smile bitterly and tell the grievances between the two people. If you talk about this matter, it will be involved a long time ago, and it can even be pushed back to the time of the Zhibong War.

The old squad leader, who was a long-term worker in a pharmacy, escorted the eldest young master of his family to study in Beiping. As a result, after sending the eldest young master to Beiping, the eldest young master resolutely disagreed that when he was in college, he was still accompanied by a family member to take care of him, as if he couldn't do without someone to serve him.

gave the old squad leader a sum of money for the journey and let him return to his hometown alone. However, when the old squad leader returned to his hometown with the money, he was just in time for Dong Ping's national army to recruit. Dong Ping, who was a platoon commander in the Nationalist Third Army at that time, was in urgent need of expanding his troops because he participated in the anti-Feng war, and he was recruiting troops everywhere.

No matter how many armies the national army has, it is a poor word. If there is no money, it will naturally be difficult to recruit troops. In addition, the area where the Nationalist Army was stationed at that time was also the main area for the recruitment of various warlords in North China. Shangfeng was in a hurry, but he couldn't recruit soldiers without money, and in desperation, Dong Ping could only sacrifice a trick, that is, to capture soldiers.

Of course, not everyone catches it. Locals, Dong Ping is a little unprovoked. The land of Yan Zhao has always been heroic, and there have been many tragic singers since ancient times. In other words, the people here are also not easy to mess with. If you're in a hurry, you don't care who beats you. In addition, there are many local gentry, and the chief does not want to anger these powerful people.

Dong Ping, who couldn't afford to provoke the local people, could only focus on the outsiders in arresting soldiers. Fortunately, his station at that time was located on the Pinghan Line, which was also a traffic artery. There are still quite a few peddlers and pawns who come and go. The focus on outsiders can also barely meet the needs.

At that time, the train was interrupted due to the war, and the old squad leader who could only stay in Hebei was unfortunately caught as a soldier in Dong Ping's department and became a recruit under Dong Ping. The old squad leader who was not willing to be this soldier escaped several times and was arrested, and he also suffered a lot of military sticks.

After completing the recruit training, the old squad leader first followed the Nationalist Third Army to the west to Shaanxi, and then to the east to Henan. Then, because of the defeat of the Nationalist Army, the main force retreated westward and was cut off in Hebei. The troops who could only surrender to Beiyang, and when they went south to resist the Northern Expeditionary Army, they took advantage of the chaotic situation after the defeat of the troops against the fields and ran away.

The old squad leader who became a deserter had no money on his body, and he was a deserter, so he could only walk south, and finally ended up in Xinyang as a long-term worker. Later, he joined the Red Army and followed the Red Army all the way to the war. He became one of the few Sichuan people who joined the Red Army during the period of the Hubei-Henan-Anhui Soviet Region.

Although Dong Ping was extremely strict with his troops when he was there, he usually treated his soldiers as brothers according to the rules of that boss Pang. Regardless of whether they were captured in the army or voluntarily enlisted in the army. There are many soldiers under him, as long as they enter his troops, they basically accept their fate.

After so many years of leading soldiers, there has never been a single soldier who escaped. was able to be an old squad leader of a deserter under his nose, which can be regarded as a deserter record. Fortunately, when the old squad leader ran away, he didn't take the gun with him. It's much better than the deserters of all kinds of warlords back then, who usually disappeared with guns when they ran.

For the old squad leader, a deserter with great magical powers and a broken record, Dong Ping also suffered forty military sticks. At the same time, it is believed that he abused his subordinates, so that his subordinates deserted. If it weren't for his subordinates kneeling down to intercede for him, Dong Ping would have been more than forty military sticks at that time.

It's just that he didn't expect that the old squad leader, who originally thought he had fled back to Sichuan, joined the Red Army in Hubei, Henan and Anhui. As a result, by mistake, the two met again in the ranks of the Eighth Route Army. The old squad leader who was captured back then had to carry a gun later. But in my heart, I have always looked down on Dong Ping, who was arrested and entered the army.

What's more, in the national army, which is dominated by northerners, the old squad leader, a Sichuan native, is not used to it at all, and he has suffered a lot because of his accent. Coupled with the chili-like personality of the Sichuan people, the whole person is out of place in that unit. When they were in that army, the two of them couldn't see each other.

And the old squad leader has been trying to escape all day long since he was caught in the recruit barracks. For this reason, he didn't rub sand in his eyes back then, because Dong Ping, who was young and as hot as fire, suffered a lot. From the boot barracks, the two of them worked against each other until the old squad leader escaped.

After the old squad leader ran away, his position has been changing with the continuous expansion and downsizing of the troops. From platoon commander to company commander to battalion commander, he has been serving as a company commander since the Central Plains War because of the repeated downsizing of the troops. It was not until the end of the Battle of Linyi that he was promoted to deputy battalion commander because of the heavy casualties among the officers of the unit.

There is no way, the 40th Army, where he was originally located, has only had one division commander under his command for many years. As an unwelcome motley card, no matter which camp you throw into, it is a drawdown. Their boss Pang once had the rank of general, and the corps commander was also the army commander and the division commander. An officer at the brigade and regimental level has not been promoted to a higher rank for many years, let alone a company commander.

There are many monks and few porridges, and the commanders above have not been touched for many years, so he, a junior officer, will naturally not be promoted. In addition, he was born in the army, even if he jumps to other troops, it is estimated that he will not be able to mix. Moreover, the officers of their army who took the initiative to leave, it cannot be said that there is not a single one, but it is also very few.

Although after the Battle of Linyi, their army was added to a division, but everyone took care of their own personnel. So for so many years, he has always been an officer at the battalion and company level. During this period, he was also transferred to the staff of the military department, but in the end, because of his age, his enterprising spirit became weaker and weaker, and he was always in the same position as the deputy battalion commander.

After listening to Dong Ping's story about his own experience and the grievances with the old squad leader. Li Ziyuan could only shake his head and smile bitterly. The two of them have come to this day, which can be regarded as a different kind of mistake. However, from the performance of the old squad leader and Dong Ping meeting again, Li Ziyuan felt that the old squad leader probably didn't seem to be so resentful of himself, the platoon commander back then.
