Chapter 40: Private Zhang Fugui
Shangguan Yusi came back from Linmeng, he brought back a lot of medicines that we urgently needed, and he also brought in a person: "I met at the gate of the barracks of the position, saying that you were recruiting soldiers in Linmeng, so I brought them in by the way." ”
I looked at this person, about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, although he didn't look very strong, but he was definitely not weak.
I couldn't remember, "What's your name?" ”
The man said, "Sir, my name is Zhang Fugui, and I am on the outer wall of the Judge Advocate General's Office, and you forgot, you also gave us a silver dollar......
As soon as he mentioned the exterior wall of the Judge Advocate General's Office, I immediately remembered: "Yes, yes, I remember...... Is your family arranged? ”
Zhang Fugui lowered his head: "Now I live in an inn, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to last a few days, so I ......"
I said very understandingly, "So you want to advance your salary?" ”
He nodded, and hurriedly said, "Sir, don't worry, I won't run away after I get my military salary, and I will come back." ”
I thought about it, took out seven silver dollars from my pocket, and handed them to Zhang Fugui: "There is no advance for the army, this can only be regarded as the military salary I advanced to you in advance." ”
Zhang Defu didn't reach out to take the seven silver dollars, he muttered: "I heard that the least number of soldiers is ...... It's ten silver dollars......"
Obviously, Zhang Fugui came to the army more for the survival of his family, so he was more willing to pay for every silver dollar.
But what he didn't know was that because of financial difficulties, the Nationalist Government set up a national disaster salary during the war, and the so-called national disaster salary was actually a discounted military salary.
A private-class soldier like Zhang Fugui who has just joined the army usually receives ten silver dollars, but what we are now paying is a national disaster salary, so he can only get seven silver dollars a month.
I patiently explained to him why the promise of ten yuan at the time of conscription became seven yuan when I arrived in the army, lest he treat me like a bastard who deducted the soldier's salary.
Seven silver dollars may still not be able to guarantee the food and clothing of his wife and children, so Zhang Fugui was a little disappointed, but he still took the silver dollar, but his face was still gloomy.
Shangguan Yusi saw it in his eyes, and he said: "At the beginning of the settlement in Linmeng, I always had to buy some daily necessities, and seven silver dollars were indeed a little unsustainable...... Since I've caught up with this, I'm going to round it up for you......"
He took out three silver dollars and patted them in Zhang Fugui's hand: "This money doesn't need to be repaid." ”
Zhang Fugui was overjoyed, and said again and again: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." ”
Me: "You go back and settle down at home, and then come back tomorrow to report." ”
Zhang Fugui withdrew with great gratitude.
Shangguan Yusi glanced at Ani: "Battalion Commander An, I heard all the way that there was a goddess gunner in the new 200th regiment who knocked out the flag of the Japanese army with one shot, presumably this person is in front of me." ”
I laughed, "That's right. The sharpshooter you're talking about is this Miss Ani. Ani, this is the military medical officer of our regiment, Shangguan Yusi. ”
Ani has finally learned a little bit of the rules of the army in the past few days, and stood up: "It's good to go to the doctor." ”
Shangguan Yusi returned a military salute: "The sharpshooter is hard. ”
Shangguan Yusi still had to inspect the wounded and sick, so he exchanged a few words with me and left.
Ani praised: "Brother An, this doctor is really a good person, he gave three silver dollars without blinking an eye, what is Rhonda saying that such a person is called...... Timely rain calls for righteousness! ”
"Ani, the surname is Shangguan, not the surname, don't call it wrong next time."
"Huh? You didn't say it earlier! ……”
At noon the next day, Zhang Fugui rushed back, took the clothing and firearms register, and an hour later, he became a new Qiu Ba of the new 200 regiment.
Soon after, the new Qiu Bazhang Fugui became the most slashing and fearful representative of the new 200 regiment. He didn't have any additional expenses, all the military pay was given to his family, and he only mixed two meals a day in the regiment. In the forward position, he never showed his head to look at the Japanese troops on the other side, and he was worried that he would be targeted by the Japanese army.
Others ridiculed him for being a coward and afraid of death, so he blushed and defended: "My grandson is afraid of death, if I die, the two in the family will not survive......"
With Zhang Fugui, a notoriously death-fearing ghost, another Yingshun who always shrunk behind is not so noticeable, this guy feels that he has something to do with me, and even hinted that he is a person with a background in Qiu Bazhong, and after a long time, it naturally reached my ears, which really made me very depressed.
When Huang Wenlie came in, I was reading my father's letter on the bed, which I was about to memorize, but every time I was flustered and lonely, I couldn't help but take it out and take a look, I wanted to write a reply several times, but I couldn't make up my mind.
Huang Wenlie's sudden visit caught me off guard, but fortunately he didn't pay attention to what I was doing. He motioned for me not to be polite, and he sat down at the table himself, and very relaxed picked up my cigarette, took out one, lit one, and exaggerated and pleasantly spit out the smoke ring.
I found that our regimental commander is becoming more and more approachable, before this, if there was any military affairs, he always sent a herald to call me to the regimental headquarters command post, he has never been to any of his subordinates' anti-artillery holes, casually chatting about family life or something, today this is a puzzling exception.
Me: "Why did the regimental seat deign to come to my mouse hole today, what is the matter with your words, how good it is for me to go to you, the copper wall built by the regimental headquarters is both safe and spacious." ”
Huang Wenlie's good mood seemed to disappear all of a sudden: "If I treat you for the crime of disrespecting Shangguan because of your yin and yang weirdness, will you feel wronged?" ”
"Yes. I don't feel disrespectful to you, I'm just stating one thing - you are indeed spacious and airy, and comfortable to stay in. ”
Huang Wenlie: "It is Commissioner Wang's intention to repair the command post of the regiment headquarters, not my intention, why are you entangled in such a thing?" ”
Me: "Tuanzao, you have misunderstood me again, how can I be entangled, the command post of a regiment should be decent, you are preconceived and have some prejudice against me......"
"I don't have any prejudice against the biggest thorn in my regiment, but this thorn has a lot of opinions about me! …… Never mind! I'm not here to talk to you about these boring trivia! Huang Wenlie waved his hand vigorously with some irritability.
This is what Huang Wenlie should look like, when he just came in, he was like Wang Tingyue possessed, and I slandered in my heart.
"I have just returned from a meeting at the military headquarters, and at the military headquarters meeting, the military seat revisited our previous offensive plan, although we failed once, but the experience gained from this is invaluable......
Huang Wenlie paced in my rat hole, and I could see that he was in a very good mood today, and the pride brought by the praise and praise of the peak was full of people to talk to, and the most suitable for his audience, whether it was level or otherwise, I was the most qualified one.
