On May 11, the 24th year of the Republic of China, that is, on May 11, 1935, almost a week before the Battle of Jinsha River, the Red Army reorganized in Huili City and its vicinity for five days, and after repairing and expanding the Red Army, the Red Army's strength was replenished to a certain extent.

In particular, a contingent like the Ninth Division and the Third Regiment, which had undertaken heavy responsibilities and suffered heavy losses, was the main target of the army expansion.

The Battle of Gufeng Town, the Battle of Huang Yunfu, the Luquan City soldiers went down to the three cities without blood, the outwitted retreat of enemy planes, and the battle after the Jinsha River was broken, along the way, the soldiers of the Ninth Division and the Third Regiment threw their heads and spilled their blood, and their prestige went freely, even in this era when there were battles every day, they were also extremely prominent.

After the propaganda of the Propaganda Department of the Red Army, on the day when the local people signed up to join the army, a large number of enthusiastic young people poured towards the Third Regiment, not for anything else, but to hear that the Third Regiment of the Ninth Division was a well-known team capable of fighting.

The young people always worship the strong, and it is not surprising that there is this phenomenon, but Lin Dashan couldn't sit still, looking at the seven out of ten newcomers who were not many to join the army, and their heads suddenly grew bigger.

It's not that he's not happy, who is not happy? However, the other friendly and neighboring troops also suffered a lot of losses, if he really absorbed these recruits alone, those old brothers were not in a hurry with him, plus the old chief personally electrified, in desperation, Lin Dashan coaxed away the redundant hot-blooded young people with coaxing.

For this reason, Lin Dashan earned enough face, and when he met other old comrades-in-arms who had become the head of the regiment again, he consciously stood tall, and even spoke like a big-tailed wolf, which made the old comrades-in-arms look at each other angrily and cry and laugh.

Originally, there were seventeen or eighteen people in the third class, but the battle of Jinshajiang was broken in half, leaving only seven recruits such as Han Xin plus three veterans such as Xu Bao, a total of ten people.

This time, the three regiments naturally took into account the three squads in recruiting new soldiers, and eight new recruits were added to the three squads alone, which can be regarded as restoring the strength of the three regiments.

If the three regiments are famous, then the most famous of the three regiments is this small third squad with the squad as the unit, and further down, if the third squad is famous, the most well-known is the recruit soldier of the third squad - Han Xin, the so-called mountain is not high and there are immortals, which is probably what it means.

Join the army and join the third regiment, and join the regiment to find the third class.

Most of the young people who joined the army were willing to come to the third regiment of the Ninth Division, and the young men who came to the third regiment of the ninth division were always willing to squeeze into the third class, why, I don't know if it was because Han Xin, a big think tank, was in the third class, and I heard that the frequency of the soldiers in the third class has always been the highest.

Therefore, there was little consideration, these recruits who joined the third regiment all applied to be transferred to the third class, and in the end it was Lin Dashan's idea, the original words were like this, "If anyone of you has the ability to gag other people's mouths, and no one objects, then you can go to the third class."

There is only one article, and the number of additional troops in the third class is only eight. ”

Lin Dashan's admonition was issued, the scene was imaginable, very exciting, all of them rolled up their sleeves, and almost got into a fight, because you don't expect these children, who are mostly born in poor peasant families, to have other means of handling affairs, they have only one principle, "Fight, beat until you serve." ”

In the end, a group of people came out, good guys, just eight of them, and the amazing thing is that as soon as these eight guys came out, the scene suddenly quieted down, and no other recruits jumped out to oppose the competition for places.

Some veterans wondered, and only after inquiring did they know that those eight boys were actually eight local ruffians, who relied on their physical strength on weekdays and formed gangs, no one dared to provoke them, in the words of a recruit who was a little cowering in the face of eight people, if we dared to go up, they would definitely beat me, but they knew the current affairs.

Therefore, when Lin Dashan knew about this situation, he also frowned, the third squad leader Xu Bao knew that he was a brave veteran who could fight, but there was only one thing, honestly tight, I am afraid that I may not be able to clean up those eight boys, don't ask those eight little ghosts to clean up.

But after thinking about it, Han Xin's kid is not in the third class, I heard that the kid and the third squad leader are very compatible, and he will definitely not let the third squad leader suffer, thinking about Lin Dashan to put his mind at ease, and at the same time want to continue these eight thorns to hone Han Xin, he always feels that Han Xin's bookish anger is too heavy.

Men, just to be domineering, how can they be soft and weak, Lin Dashan thought.

In the afternoon, the assembly whistle of the soldiers of the third class sounded for a long time, and the original three classes of men and horses had already arrived, although they volunteered to join the Red Army, but obviously failed to adapt to the strict military discipline of the Red Army, but the eight thorns were belated.

"Ah, why are you standing so neatly? Welcome us? No, no, it's so enthusiastic! The frowning Erniu Zhuzi and the others had not yet spoken, and a young man who was obviously the leader of the eight people had spoken, as if he didn't realize that he and the others were late, and his calm aura had a sense of dominance.

Xu Bao's honest face was expressionless, but don't expect anything to be intimidating, his brows furrowed deeper, but he didn't want to hurt his feelings, after all, he would be a brother in the trenches in the future, so he said patiently: "Well, welcome, new comrade, then please introduce yourself first!"

Oh, let me introduce myself first, I'm your squad leader, my name is Xu Bao. ”

"Xu Bao, squad leader." The leader smiled even more, and did not show any respect, and took the lead: "Boss"

Then the others shouted.

"Dick"

"The Third Child"

……

"Old Eight"

A black line appeared from his forehead, and Xu Bao said helplessly: "I'm talking about your name, not your internal ranking." ”

"Oh, you said it earlier! Stone laughs"

"Shi Wen", "Shi Cheng", "Shi Tian", ...... "Shi Xiao", the eight people stood lazily and reported their real names.

This time, Han Xin and the others who were standing aside were surprised, could it be the eight brothers? Actually surnamed "Shi", the curious stone stood up, although he also saw that these were thorns, but he thought that he was also the surname "Shi", and he might still be his own family hundreds of years ago! Immediately, he smiled kindly and said, "Are the comrades of the recruits brothers?" ”

"Which one are you?" Shi Wen, the second eldest of the eight, stood up, with a rough voice and a stout body, which was the tallest among the eight.

"Oh, my name is Stone, but I have the same surname as you." Although he was a little uncomfortable, Shi Wen spoke in a contemptuous tone, but Shi Wen replied politely.

"Stones! I know you, you're just a rookie egg, what's the matter? Laugh at us, I'm afraid you're not qualified enough! Shi Zhong, the eldest of the eight, joked that the fifth was the relative Sven of the eight, with a medium stature, bright eyes, and a rare wisdom among the peasants all the time.

As for Shi Zhong's words, they are a little hurtful, perhaps the so-called "scolding without dirty words is more hurtful and invisible!" ”

Shi Zhong's words fell, the third class fell into a short silence, the atmosphere was very embarrassing, the squad leader Xu Bao was a little at a loss, it was not that he had not met recruits before, but they were all very easy to get along with, a group of like-minded comrades! Why make a fuss.

However, the honest Xu Bao obviously sees the complexity of human nature too simply, and some people can't use common sense to judge the nature.

At this time, another voice sounded, very calm and calm, without showing weakness or strength, as if it was objectively expounding a simple matter, "In front of you, on the left side of the queue are three veterans, who enlisted in the army in 29 years, and when our party established a revolutionary base in Ruijin, it already had 5 years of military experience, during which it participated in countless battles, and its contributions were undoubted, and the blood shed was much more than the water that we recruits had drunk.

And the seven on the right side of the queue are the same recruits as you in your eyes, who joined the army in January of this year, and have only been in the military for four months now, which is indeed very short, but the battles experienced and the fierceness witnessed during this period are by no means beyond your imagination.

The battle of Gufeng Town, sacrificed two, Huang Yunfu was lucky in the battle, sacrificed one, and then in the battle of Jinshajiang, two recruits died, I remember that they have always been a little weak, but they trembled with a grenade, and then extremely unskillfully opened the pull ring, and the enemy's jade was burned, and was blown to pieces.

I vaguely remember that just four months ago, there were twelve recruits in our third class, and this was sacrificed under the special care of the veterans.

I don't say this to prove anything, but I just want to tell you that without mentioning the veteran comrades, I will say that the group of recruits standing in front of you are all brave soldiers who can charge with explosives bags, and in just four months, they have not discovered their degeneration.

I don't know if you have the courage to do this, and if you have experienced these battles, if you have, congratulations, you can proudly pat your chest and say, I am also a veteran, an old revolutionary soldier. ”

The implication is self-evident.

Peaceful voice, simple truth, Shi Xiao and others were collectively stunned, the previous arrogant arrogance couldn't help but stagnate, although Bashi is a little stubborn, but it is the rebellious psychology of young people, the heart is actually not bad, otherwise they would not come to participate in the Red Army to make a revolution, it is really the dictatorship of the White Army (National Army) that has affected everyone's life, and the villagers in the village are often harassed, and life is very hard, so they want to join the revolution.

In the final analysis, in Yachishi's heart, righteousness still exists.

And these words, which can be said to be deafening, also completely alerted them, and Bashi's attitude was a little restrained, and they all turned their heads to look at the master who said this.
