Wang Cheng, who was very satisfied with Li Ziyuan's honest and teachable expression, eased his face a little. While entering the village, he said to Li Ziyuan: "I came to Hubei this time, mainly for two things. One is to look at your troops, the actual situation right now. The second point is to study the next tactical application with you according to the requirements of the superiors in this battle. ”

"How the second point needs to be adjusted depends on how well you do the first point, so I can make up my mind. You have to be prepared that this time your troops are at a critical point and are likely to encounter some tough battles that are not suitable for you. ”

"The division commander asked me to go on this trip at this time, in addition to seeing with my own eyes the real combat effectiveness of your troops, I want to come up with a detailed plan with you. Li Ziyuan, I'm here today to ask you a question, can your troops give Lao Tzu a top at the critical moment? If not, I'll transfer a reinforced company from the Divisional Cadre Regiment to replace you. ”

Wang Cheng's words made Li Ziyuan's face flush. Although he knew that the old chief's words were 'exciting', for Li Ziyuan, the doubts in the old chief's tone were undoubtedly unacceptable. As long as a soldier still has some blood, the most difficult thing for a soldier to accept is the doubts of his superiors about his combat effectiveness.

And for a commander, no matter how high or low his rank, for his superiors or brother troops, the distrust of the combat effectiveness of his own troops is also the greatest shame. Especially for a person like Li Ziyuan, who looks very plain on the surface, but actually has very strong self-esteem.

Li Ziyuan, whose face was flushed, looked at Wang Cheng in front of him, and said almost word by word: "Old chief, I have fought hard and hard battles under your command. From the Red Army to the present, I have basically fought without fail. You know best who this person is Li Ziyuan. Since joining the Red Army as a teenager, when have I ever been afraid of Li Ziyuan? ”

"As for what happens to my troops, you can see for yourself. Some time ago, the Japanese puppet army swept the mountainous areas in the eastern part of Hubei, and my troops fought quite beautifully without the support of the main force? It also completely annihilated a field observation group composed entirely of officers organized by the regimental headquarters of the 36th Division. ”

"Old chief, whether a unit's combat effectiveness is strong or weak is not blown out by being a commander, but by the actual results achieved on the battlefield. Whether an army is a pack of wolves or a pack of dogs will not be known until it is seen on the battlefield. ”

"Old chief, give the order. I, Li Ziyuan, went up the knife mountain and went down to the sea of fire, if I frowned, I would not be your old subordinate. If my troops have a little slack on the battlefield, you will directly withdraw me from you to be a groom, and I, Li Ziyuan, have absolutely no complaints. ”

Li Ziyuan's categorical words, Wang Cheng only smiled faintly after hearing it: "It's not enough to go to Dao Mountain, but it's still possible to go to the sea of fire." In this battle, although our division only serves as a guard and mobile reserve, who can fully control the progress of the battle? ”

"It's not been a day or two since we 'deal' with devils. Have you ever seen a friendly army in trouble, and you can't save it when you see it? Once this battle began, the 36th Division of the Japanese Army in the southeast of Shanxi Province was bound to reinforce Zhengtai Road. And your troops will bear the brunt of the situation because of the location. ”

"You have to remember that behind you is the heart of the military district. The organs of the military region and the Northern Bureau, as well as a large number of local organs, local cadres of the armed forces, banks and even arsenals are all behind you. If the 36th Division adopts the method of encircling Wei to save Zhao and besiege the hinterland of our Taihang, you will be the first line of defense here. ”

"Of course, your troops only have a company-level structure, and it is still somewhat difficult for you to undertake all the blocking tasks. But whether this outpost can be done well, and whether it can entangle the devil's reinforcements all the way when needed, this is what I, and the head of the division, are most worried about. ”

"The last anti-sweeping, you did a really good job. It is quite rare to be able to preserve the main living forces under such difficult circumstances and achieve certain results. But you, Li Ziyuan, are you not wrong at all in command? ”

"The local organization in Hubei County, although it has not had time to rebuild since it was destroyed last time, has a great impact on your intelligence work. But you, the captain, are just angry with the hole under your eyes? If you weren't too careless, would you let people block the 'door' of the house? There are subjective reasons, but objective reasons should be found. ”

"The level of combat effectiveness of your troops now, I don't want to give any opinion until I have seen it. But to be honest, when you kid was 'shrewd', your 'shrewdness' was a bit too much. When it's a big grin, it's also a big grin. It is precisely for this reason that the commander, political commissar and I discussed it, and then decided that I should run this time. ”

"Now there are two days to prepare before the battle begins. My troops are now under the temporary control of the political commissar, and I will leave you a day in the next two days to accompany you to come up with a battle plan. Remember, neither overkill nor repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

When Wang Cheng finished saying this, the two of them had already walked into Li Jiawa. Regarding Wang Cheng's words, Li Ziyuan has not had time to answer. Chang Juan and Guan Li, who were over there, had already come out to greet them with a few cadres. Seeing Chang Juan bring a few cadres to welcome him, Wang Bin frowned but didn't say anything.

Just when Wang Bin and Li Ziyuan were about to enter the house that was temporarily used as the team headquarters, a familiar voice from Li Ziyuan came from there: "Hey, old five, why did you come back so soon, didn't you go out for a meeting?" Why do you look like you're grizzled, you can't be scolded, right? ”

"Haha, I have long guessed that your chief is in such a hurry to find you back, there will definitely be nothing good. Hey, who's this guy next to you, he looks so handsome. Ah, there are horses, or authentic 'Meng' ancient horses, first of all, you have to borrow me to ride. ”

"From the fall of Peking to the present, I haven't ridden a horse for a long time. When I escaped from Beiping City, I rode a 'wool' donkey for half a day, and I had a lot of fun riding a donkey. Besides, our Sichuan horses in Sichuan are too small, and there is no difference between riding and riding donkeys, or this tall 'Mongolian' ancient horse is majestic to ride. ”

This Li Ziyuan's unusually familiar voice directly messed up the original very serious atmosphere. Listening to this familiar voice, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but cover his head in some pain. looked at Chang Juan who was standing opposite him with some dissatisfaction, and complained very much about Chang Juan in his eyes, why didn't he branch this aunt's 'milk' and 'milk' first.

And Chang Juan, who was opposite him, shook his head helplessly after receiving Li Ziyuan's reproachful gaze. Chang Juan's meaning is obvious, your own 'female' demon is like a sister, and you don't know your 'sex' personality. You can't do it yourself, what else can we do.

It's just that at this time, it's a little late to blame anyone. Li Ziyuan could only be a little embarrassed, pointing to the side, and was first attracted by Wang Cheng. But after only a few seconds, his eyes were quickly attracted by Wang Cheng and the three 'Meng' ancient horses behind him, and Li Ziyun said: "Old chief, this is my second sister who was studying in Beiping when I jumped out of the outside line this time and inadvertently met. ”

"After graduating from Peking Union Medical College, she fled from Beiping to the southeast of Shanxi Province in order to escape being 'forced' to work in a pseudo hospital by the Japanese puppet, and was ready to transfer here to the rear. Our troops met by chance while they were looking for a doctor. ”

After introducing Li Ziyun to Wang Cheng, he turned his head to Li Ziyun and said: "Second sister, this is the head of the basic regiment of our Ludong Army Division, and also my old leader from the beginning of the Red Army to the present, and also the famous combat heroes of our entire 18th Group Army, Wang Cheng and Commander Wang. ”

Listening to Li Ziyuan's introduction, Li Ziyun, who reluctantly turned his eyes away from the three horses behind Li Ziyuan, faced Wang Cheng who looked like he was crazy before he put it away, stretched out his little hand, and said with a very charming smile: "Hello, Head Wang, I am Li Ziyun, the second sister of this bear boy." ”

"Originally, I thought that you, the old chief in his mouth, must not be a middle-aged uncle with a full beard. When I met today, I realized that I, the old chief of Brother Xiong, would be so young and handsome, he was simply a beautiful man. It's a real pleasure to meet you. Thank you for taking care of my younger brother for so many years. ”

After Li Ziyun's words, Li Ziyuan was embarrassed. He really couldn't figure out whether his second sister had a problem with her aesthetic vision or was too different. The old chief of his own is not short among the Chinese of this era. But the appearance is ordinary people at most, and it is far from being handsome.

And not only can it not be said to be handsome, if you add a scar on the left cheek that was hit by a bullet, almost the size of a wine cup, it even makes people feel a little ugly. It's just that after many years of military career, the military momentum of the old chief is still very strong, and he looks like a 'lean' soldier.

The appearance of being a little frightened by the old chief of his own is mainly the 'woman' who was frightened by the scar on his face. There are a lot of 'women' who think that they are old chiefs and ordinary people. can say that his old chief is handsome, and there is only one second sister who is a little off-line 'sexual'.

After recognizing each other, according to Li Ziyuan's understanding of his second sister, Li Ziyun wants to say who is handsome, either she has a request for others, or she feels like this. And Li Ziyun, who only met on the first day, could not have asked Wang Cheng for anything at all. In other words, Li Ziyun really thinks that she is an old chief from the bottom of her heart, and she is a big handsome guy in her eyes.

However, although Wang Cheng is his old chief, Li Ziyuan couldn't help but feel a chill at Li Ziyun's comment, and some suspected that there was something wrong with his sister's aesthetic vision. Of course, in front of his old chief and Li Ziyun, even if he gave Li Ziyuan eight guts, he didn't dare to say what he said in his heart.

Compared with Li Ziyuan, who was cold, Wang Cheng, who heard someone say that he was handsome for the first time, was also a little embarrassed by Li Ziyun's alternative-sounding evaluation. But in the face of such a beautiful 'girl', Wang Cheng, who is not easy to get angry, can only look at Li Ziyuan beside him with a wry smile.
