Chapter Ninety-Six: Temptation, The Ballad of the Great Wall

If you want to talk about the first few items, you can take more care of them in the army. After all, she is a lesbian, even if she doesn't have the ability of Shen Chen, she will be treated more or less.

But when he was given full freedom during the war, Company Commander Jiang couldn't figure it out, or he didn't understand what it meant.

Shen Chen's words, others also heard them. Instructor Yang and Company Commander Jiang had similar thoughts, so he asked with a smile: "Obey orders and listen to commands, this is a soldier's must abide by." What do you mean by freedom? ”

Shen Chen pondered for a moment and explained: "A good gunner can't be trained in a day or two, and his value is higher than that of an ordinary soldier. If you use him as an ordinary soldier and waste it on the battlefield of charging and fighting, I think it is a bit of a waste. ”

Lian Commander Jiang seemed to understand whether he understood or not, blinking his eyes slowly, pondering, and thinking.

Instructor Yang thought for a moment and asked Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou, "What do you think?" How is the freedom granted to Comrade Damei stipulated? ”

Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie glanced at each other, and Lao Zhou replied first: "According to Comrade Damei's specialties and characteristics, we really don't have too rigid rules, that is, we are relatively broad and flexible in the battle plan, and we don't set too strict rules and regulations. ”

Zhao Tie then added: "Also, when formulating the battle plan, try to give full play to Comrade Damei's strengths. To tell the truth, the guerrillas still lacked training, and their overall fighting qualities were not high. Therefore, we will also try to formulate a tactical style of play based on Damei. ”

Company Commander Jiang and Instructor Yang glanced at each other, revealing similar meanings.

For the guerrillas, this kind of pulling style of play is okay. Because they have fewer people, the scale of operations is smaller, and they are more flexible, and they have fewer hard tasks.

In the regular army, on the other hand, there are often orders given and tasks that must be completed.

For example, when attacking such and such a stronghold, when it is time to attack, you must go all out and move forward bravely; When it is time to defend, it is necessary to fight to the death and not retreat, and the people are in the position.

Therefore, even if Shen Chen is pulled into the regular army, the freedom given is limited, and he can't make a battle plan around one person.

Of course, apart from these, there are no combat women in the regular army. There are female medical staff and telegraph operators, but Shen Chen is obviously not the material to do this.

Therefore, Company Commander Jiang and Instructor Yang wanted to have such a marksman with accurate marksmanship, but they also felt that it was not in accordance with the regulations, and they could not meet Shen Chen's requirements.

"Judging from the results of the battle so far, the guerrillas' tactics centered on Comrade Damei have been very successful." Instructor Yang bowed his head and said, "Don't tell lies, look at your equipment, even we are red!" ”

"If you need it, can you swap some guns?" Shen Chen finished speaking uncertainly, and turned his head to look at Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie.

Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie didn't want to say this, they could all be regular troops supporting local troops in the past, but now they are suddenly reversed, will it make the regular troops feel embarrassed?

Company Commander Jiang laughed and said, "If we need to, of course we will speak." This is not a matter of face, Captain Zhao and Instructor Zhou are thinking too much at first glance, and they are embarrassed to say. ”

Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie laughed a little embarrassedly, as soon as they said this, they seemed to be open-minded, and they were a little stingy.

Company Commander Jiang's words were not polite, but he really had such thoughts.

As much as possible, the weapons of the Eighth Route Army were also relatively complicated, but for the convenience of combat and supply, they also tried to unify the system as much as possible.

For example, a battalion may have a 38 Gai Company, a Hanyang Company, a Mauser Company, and so on, to achieve the unity of guns and ammunition on a relatively small scale.

And Jiang Lian's three platoons, if they concentrate their weapons now, can at least ensure that nearly two platoons are 38 big covers. If some more is transferred from the guerrillas, the weapons of the whole company can be unified.

Although it may seem a bit humiliating to do so, as Company Commander Jiang said, the most important thing is to win the battle and reduce casualties compared to face.

When Liu Biao invited Shen Chen to come to the front of the team, the soldiers hugged warm applause. Their ideas are very simple, and whoever has the ability admires them.

In the army, this is the case, being able to speak well is far better than being able to fight.

Shen Chen smiled and beckoned to everyone, but he didn't say much. At length, that's the cadres' business, he doesn't want to do it, and he doesn't like it.

Everyone returned to the company headquarters, and Company Commander Jiang and Instructor Yang entertained Lao Zhou and Zhao Tie. Shen Chen refused to eat at the same table, and ate in the next room with Yu Baogen.

After listening to the guerrillas' care for Shen Chen, Instructor Yang asked the gang to add a dish to Shen Chen, and originally made a chicken, and almost half of it was given to Shen Chen and Yu Baogen.

Shen Chen was not humble or polite, and ate and drank with Yu Baogen, and there was not even soup left.

Company Commander Jiang, Instructor Yang and Zhao Tie and Lao Peripheral ate and chatted, and finalized some things. It's not just about tomorrow's celebration, it's about adjusting weapons, and how to fight next.

After Shen Chen and Yu Baogen finished eating, they had to wait for Zhao Tie and Lao Zhou. If you are idle, you will just go out and hang out.

In winter, there is no work, and the common people do not wear much, so they are not very willing to go out and move around.

Most of the doors of the houses in the village are still closed, and there are not many people on the streets, except for a few children playing and jumping.

On the threshing floor in the village, some soldiers are setting up sheds to prepare for tomorrow's event. On the other side, they are organizing singing and preparing for the show.

As soon as the east row of people finished singing, the middle team stood up and the second platoon leader led everyone to cheer: "One row, one come, who should sing, one row." ”

The second platoon leader stretched out his arms and preemptively shouted, "Welcome: one-two." ”

There was a loud clapping of hands like a voice, and after a burst of laughter, a female comrade stood in front of a row to the west, and after scribbling her hands down, she led the singing.

"The mother told her son to fight the East, and the wife sent her husband to the battlefield. We are on Taihang Mountain, we are on Taihang Mountain, the mountains are high and dense, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong......"

Before the singing was all over, a platoon on the east side cheered more energetically: "Okay?" "Good! "Isn't it wonderful? "Wonderful! Do you want one in the second row? "Yes!".

The second platoon commander smiled and waved his arm, and the whole platoon made a neat voice: "It's here." ”

"We are all sharpshooters, every bullet destroys an enemy, we are all flying troops, no matter how high and deep ...... he is"

Shen Chen thought it was strange and interesting, so he stood not far away and watched. He had never seen such an event.

Yu Baogen explained on the side that during the Spring Festival, the guerrillas and Jiang Lian celebrated the New Year together, and he still saw some of them.

"Ha, Comrade Damei!" Liu Biao, the leader of the third platoon, appeared out of nowhere and greeted Shen Chen warmly.

Shen Chen smiled and said, "Platoon Commander Liu, hello." ”

Liu Biao shook his head and said, "It's not good, I'm not good, and neither is the third row." In this battle, all three rows were almost exhausted. There were only a dozen or so left, and they didn't have any momentum in singing, so they simply didn't participate. The remaining two female nurses, whoa, were also snatched away by a row. ”

The three platoons of emergency guerrillas fought hard with the devils, and suffered the greatest casualties. In this respect, the guerrillas should indeed be grateful to them.

Shen Chen said: "It will be better tomorrow, I heard that there are many young people who have newly joined the army in the district, and you should supplement your platoon first." ”

Liu Biao said with a wry smile: "It should be no problem to supplement." But if recruits don't train, how can they go to the battlefield? Without a few battles, how can the eggs of recruits mature? ”

Shen Chen shrugged his shoulders, there was nothing he could do about it.

However, local forces have already been established, like militias, and there is some simple training on a regular basis, and if they are mobilized to join the army, they may have less time to adapt and grow up faster.

"Comrade Damei, your marksmanship is really incomprehensible." Liu Biao praised sincerely: "Don't talk about our company, even in the battalion and in the regiment, I'm afraid it's one of the best." How about it, is there any idea of participating in the main forces? If you want to talk about care, then there must be. As long as conditions allow, it is no problem to be more preferential. ”

Liu Biao was indeed fighting Shen Chen's idea, but he also knew that it was not easy. The company commander and the instructor didn't dare to make a decision easily, he was just trying to change his bad first impression with Shen Chen by the way.

In fact, due to the shortage of heavy weapons and the lack of guns and ammunition, the Eighth Route Army also attached great importance to sharpshooters and took care of them, because they could often play a key role in battle.

For example, Pei Tianlai, a sharpshooter from Orion, was already fifty-three years old when he joined the Eighth Route Army and was a special soldier. In order to take care of him, he was not only equipped with a donkey, but also sent a little warrior to carry a gun for him.

In every battle, Pei Tianlai will also be arranged in an important position, focusing on the enemy's machine gunners and gunners to destroy the enemy's firepower, which plays a very important role in winning the battle and reducing casualties.

Moreover, in order to motivate the people and deter the enemy, there is a lot of propaganda about sharpshooters, which is the same reason as setting a heroic example in wartime.

Like Liu Ertang, the "hero who killed the enemy", the militia team he led was not only named the "Ertang Combat Team" by the Taihang Military Region, but his personal deeds were continuously reported by the "Taihang Militia Daily", becoming a famous militia hero and "sharpshooter" in Taihang.

Therefore, the biggest obstacle to Shen Chen joining the regular army is not the preferential treatment and care, but his current gender.

Although there were many female soldiers in the Eighth Route Army, and some carried guns, they were basically engaged in auxiliary work, such as medical care, literary and artistic propaganda, communications, and so on.

Of course, most of these female soldiers are also trained to fight with guns in critical situations. However, there were no formed female combat soldiers in the Eighth Route Army, and there was no precedent for mixing with male soldiers as combat soldiers.

The main reason for this is inconvenience. Secondly, there is really no outstanding female soldier like Shen Chen.

The marksmanship is better than that of the top shooter in the company, and the record is also quite brilliant, and it proves to be true.

Liu Biao patted his head and thought about it, if Shen Chen was there, the three platoons that had been re-replenished would be able to recover their combat effectiveness relatively quickly.

Of course, how well the work is done depends on Shen Chen's attitude in the end. Even if the target of recruitment is mainly local troops, it must be done on a voluntary basis.

Regarding Liu Biao's temptation and disguised invitation, Shen Chen thought about it, and did not make a decision immediately, but said euphemistically: "This, let's talk about it later." I haven't figured it out yet, let's stay in the guerrillas first! ”

Liu Biao didn't have any disappointed looks, anyway, he just said it casually, the meaning of temptation was strong, Shen Chen didn't refuse, there was such a glimmer of hope.

Stretching out his hand and pointing to the troops who were singing, Liu Biao said with a smile: "This is the case in the army, there are still a lot of recreational activities, but it is not so boring as just marching and fighting. ”

Shen Chen nodded and said, "It's good to combine work and rest, it can also enliven the atmosphere and lift your spirits." ”

Liu Biao looked at Shen Chen strangely and said, "I didn't expect Comrade Damei to be so knowledgeable, I can't talk about these ways." ”

Shen Chen hurriedly waved his hand and said, "What kind of knowledge, I listen to what others say." ”

"It's amazing that you can remember it when you hear it." Liu Biao did not pay any less respect to Shen Chen's modesty, he was an old man, and when he heard the words and phrases of comparative culture, he felt that he was knowledgeable.

Shen Chen smiled and didn't answer further. Although he is indeed literate and even knows foreign languages, his identity does not dare to show off.

As he was talking, two female comrades ran over, greeted Shen Chen affectionately, and invited him over to sit and watch.

"It doesn't affect you, I'm going to leave in a moment." Shen Chen hurriedly excused himself.

Mu Xiaowei and Chen Mengyao pulled Shen Chen from left to right, giggled, and forced Shen Chen to the front of the team, and the soldiers hugged warm applause.

"Alright, alright, I'll just sit here." Shen Chen waved to the soldiers helplessly, and wanted to find a random place to sit down.

"That's not going to work." Mu Xiaowei smiled and grabbed Shen Chen's arm and shouted to the soldiers, "How about welcoming Comrade Damei to give us a show?" ”

"Yes, yes!"

"Welcome, welcome!"

More applause rang out, and the soldiers laughed and clapped their hands, eagerly looking at this handsome girl with good marksmanship.

Shen Chen waved his hand vigorously and said, "I won't!" Except for carrying guns and fighting, I don't know anything about singing and dancing. I'm sorry everyone, but I'll come back later, okay? ”

Liu Biao laughed, making fun of himself, and seemed to enjoy watching Shen Chen being embarrassed, "If Comrade Da Mei doesn't even know how to tune in his hometown, do you believe it?" ”

"Don't believe it, don't believe it." The fighters laughed and shouted in unison.

Hometown Minor?! Shen Chen felt that if one wouldn't, it was indeed a bit unreasonable. can search for Damei's memory, and I really can't sing the folk slang songs.

After scratching his ears and cheeks for a while, Shen Chen finally remembered a song, which was still sung by the young people who resisted Japan and saved the country when he was in Shanghai.

In the spring of 1937, Shanghai Yihua Film Company began filming "Guanshan Wanli" written by Pan Xinong, and Pan Xiaonong invited Liu Xue'an to score the film.

Due to the August 13 Incident in Shanghai, the film was not completed, but Liu Xue'an published the completed film episode "The Ballad of the Great Wall" in his own publication "War Song", and was soon sung by some youth anti-Japanese propaganda teams.
