It is precisely because of the experience of being a squad leader that Li Ziyuan believes that the squad leader is actually a unit and a very important part. At the same time, the squad is also the smallest combat structure in the army, and it is also the smallest link in the composition of the army, but it is the most important link. As a squad leader who has the most time to contact fighters, it is important whether you have a lot of experience.

On the contrary, as the instructor of the most basic political work officer, it is impossible to stay with the fighters all day, and the squad leader can be said to be the most intimate person for the soldiers. Any unit is composed of countless squads, and the quality of the squad leader also means that the combat effectiveness of the unit is affected.

Some veterans have even been soldiers for several years, but they may not be able to be a good squad leader. Although the old squad leader said that he had led the soldiers on hand over the years, he did not have more than one squad at most in the organization. But the number of soldiers who have experienced under him is quite a lot. It's an exaggeration to say hundreds, if not thousands, but hundreds of people are no problem.

Some of the soldiers he led sacrificed, some took up the post of senior commander, and some were wounded and could not carry them on the way to war, so they could only leave a few oceans and settle on the spot and became separated. More fighters who remain in the unit if they have not yet died constitute the most basic position of the grassroots commander of this unit.

But Li Ziyuan carefully recalled that whether he had personally contacted it or heard the old chief mention it, the soldiers led by the old squad leader were not deserters. That's pretty remarkable. In any army in China in this era, there were basically no deserters.

And who said that in the Red Army, there were no deserters? Faced with a difficult and difficult environment, not many people can endure it. Soon after he joined the Red Army, the younger brother of one of his brothers became a deserter. The elder brother followed the team all the way to the Hexi Corridor, and after the defeat of the Western Route Army, he returned to northern Shaanxi alone.

His younger brother found an excuse to desert before flipping through the Jiajin Mountain. Of course, most of these deserters are new recruits. Some have only joined the army for a few days, just because they can't endure hardship. And starving all day long to drill bullets and bullets is not acceptable to ordinary people. The Red Army at that time was enough to be called the most dangerous profession in the world.

And definitely the most, and not one of them. No matter how profound your political education is, it can't compare to whether you can eat enough. Such deserters, as long as they do not drag their guns and run away, the troops will generally not look back. So it was not that there were no deserters in the Red Army, but there were not so many of them.

In fact, the reason for not catching them back is also because the troops are on the march all day long, and they don't have much energy to find those deserters. Even Li Ziyuan himself, if he hadn't known now that the old squad leader was staring, he wouldn't have been able to become a deserter. Therefore, the old squad leader has been a squad leader for so many years, and there has not been a single deserter under his command, which is very remarkable.

Of course, the old squad leader was also a deserter. It has also become a great shame for Dong Pingqi, who has never deserted in a team of warlords who are often underpaid. But this is not just as simple as some means, and the understanding of the psychological state of the soldiers under him is also a very important factor.

Maybe the old squad leader doesn't understand the psychological state at all, what it is. I don't even know that in this world, there is another discipline called psychology. However, the experience of leading soldiers for many years, mainly at the grassroots level, has given him a considerable understanding of the psychological state of the soldiers under his command, whether they are recruits or veterans.

The old squad leader has led so many soldiers, and he should also be the one who sees the soldiers' minds the most. Let the old squad leader solve this problem, Li Ziyuan thinks that he is definitely not looking for the wrong person. Therefore, Li Ziyuan decided to solve this problem, with the old squad leader as the mainstay, and the political work cadres of each company cooperated with him in turn.

However, although Li Ziyuan did not say anything else, his insistence on letting the old squad leader participate in the reorganization and training of the troops still aroused the suspicion of the old squad leader. It is said that people are old spirits, ghosts and spirits, and after going through so many old squad leaders, many things can be understood when you think about it.

Sometimes, there are some things that need not be said too thoroughly for a discerning person. Li Ziyuan's voice fell, and the old squad leader looked at Li Ziyuan carefully for a while before he said, "You kid can really bring the dead to life with this mouth." I can try and I can do my best. ”

"But I don't know exactly how much it will do. I have been in the army for so many years, except for being a combat squad leader for more than a year, I am a gang leader. We have never engaged in political work, and we are not born to do that kind of thing. So I can do as much as I can, but I can't guarantee whether it will work or not. ”

After listening to the old squad leader's words, Li Ziyuan wanted to say something more and encourage the old squad leader. But the old squad leader stood up, patted his ass and walked out. When he was about to go out, the old squad leader ignored Li Ziyuan, but looked at Da Li outside, and suddenly said: "You are very smart and can see things quite accurately." ”

"You'd better play less with your little cleverness, though, or sooner or later, you'll be stuck in this problem. People who are too smart are not suitable for playing politics. You kid stay in the army honestly from now on, no matter what others say, don't go down. ”

"Commissar Ma is a sincere person, although he is a little clever, but he doesn't have too many fancy eyes. He is not like you, he does not have much talent in military affairs, and the road will not go too far. If he is in trouble in the future, you kid can pull a handful. Chief of Staff He, don't worry, there are some things he can see better than you. ”

"As for Dong Ping, if you want to keep him, don't let him out of your sight. You kid will go far in the future, and what I'm telling you today is for your mother's sake. I won't say these words a second time, and don't spread them to you, kid. The meaning of the words, you can taste it yourself. ”

"Also, when your second sister comes back, let her come to me. This girl is a mother, and she is so capable of producing moths. Wang Cheng's kid doesn't know how to take care of her. However, this girl is much more reliable than you. At this time, it's really not a good thing to be over there. Some things can be seen through, but not through and this is where she is smarter than you. ”

"It's a bit dangerous to get to the front, but there's a lot of right and wrong on the frontline. Don't ask me when they'll arrive, it's only two days. Also, I look good at Chang Juan's girl, so let's settle down. Don't be picky, there will be no way to end up then. ”

"That Yang Jing, if you can avoid it, it's better to avoid some. Her personality is too strong to be a good fit for you kid. Chang Juan's girl is steel on the outside and soft on the inside, and she knows the general situation. You are a good hand in military struggle, but in other aspects, it is still reassuring to have her by your side. ”

After saying this, the old squad leader didn't pay attention to Li Ziyuan, who was stunned after listening to his words. Directly stepped out of Li Ziyuan's regimental headquarters, waved his sleeves and walked away without a trace of clouds. After leaving behind, Li Ziyuan, who was dumbfounded by his words, was stunned.

Waiting for the back of the old squad leader, he completely disappeared outside the door, and Li Ziyuan sat on the stool. The old squad leader's words undoubtedly confirmed his previous judgment, and the identity of the old squad leader was really unusual. Although some things were not directly explained, he understood the reminders outside the words.

The old chief and Li Ziyun are going to be transferred back, and they don't know about it. The old squad leader was very clear, and asked Li Ziyun to come back to him, indicating that he already knew Li Ziyun's identity. If it's just an ordinary person, who can master these things?

The old squad leader's words when he was leaving, although he said something cloudy and foggy, Li Ziyuan knew that this was reminding himself. It's just that Li Ziyuan didn't understand how the old squad leader could remind himself at this time. Could something have happened? Or is there some movement on it?

Li Ziyuan, who was confused, although he was very grateful to the old squad leader for his reminder, he still didn't understand why the old squad leader said this. There are some things in his words that are very taboo, and Li Ziyuan is not unincomprehensible. And even though the old squad leader didn't bring it up, Li Ziyuan didn't think that there would be anything between himself and Yang Jing.

But today, the old squad leader clearly objected, but Li Ziyuan was a little puzzled. It's just that when Li Ziyuan was confused and didn't know what was going on above. He suddenly remembered that decades later, the political movement that lasted for a whole decade, could it be that the old squad leader would have seen so far?

Li Ziyuan, who has not yet received the document from his superiors, does not know that at this time, a movement is being launched on the side of the Yellow River, and with the advancement of the movement, there is a tendency to go overboard. I thought the old squad leader was reminding himself of what would happen decades later. Thinking of this, Li Ziyuan touched the cold sweat that came out of his startled head.

In addition to secretly lucking himself to choose the right one, a layer of white sweat also appeared on his back. Shaking his head, Li Ziyuan didn't want to think about it. There are some things that I still don't know much about. However, today's reminder from the old squad leader also made Li Ziyuan even more unable to see through him in his heart. He always felt that the old squad leader seemed to be covered with a layer of fog.

However, although the adjustment of the internal relations of the troops was handed over to the old squad leader to deal with. But Li Ziyuan was not idle, and during the period when Ma Yongcheng went to the sub-district meeting and did not come back, Li Ziyuan was busy. While constantly sending scouts to the enemy-occupied areas for detailed reconnaissance, they also had to go company by company and talk to cadres and soldiers separately.

All day long, it seems to be busy. Fortunately, during this time, Yang Jing didn't come to disturb him. At the same time, Chang Juan, who was organizing Hubei to resume production to save herself, didn't know if she was really busy, or deliberately avoided him, and didn't come to disturb him. This made Li Ziyuan a lot easier.

In addition to talking to cadres and soldiers, cooperate with the work of the old squad leader. Li Ziyuan focused his main energy on the rescue operation he was preparing for the next step. Before the internal problems of the army were completely resolved, Li Ziyuan decided to focus on small units in this operation.

And the military sub-district has also called Li Ziyuan back, agreeing that he will organize a rescue operation as appropriate. However, the military sub-district also asked Li Ziyuan not only to rescue the young and middle-aged men who were arrested in Hubei, but also to pay attention to preserving his strength. Actions in enemy-occupied areas should be carried out in accordance with the unified arrangements of military divisions and should be based on the infiltration of the situation of the armed engineering units.

The military sub-district told Li Ziyuan on a telegram that it would send special personnel to send the information collected by the military sub-district as soon as possible. Preparations are also under way in this area, and some progress has been made in intelligence work. The overall deployment of the military sub-district will be sent along with the intelligence.
