The second regiment of the school military teaching was just formed in early December, Wang Bailing served as the regiment commander, the three battalion commanders and party representatives were all Huangpu instructors, the commander of the first battalion and the third battalion Wang Junyuan was an instructor of the military academy, the party representative was Zheng Dongguo, an old acquaintance, and the other two battalions were Gu Zhutong, the commander of the first battalion, Jin Fozhuang, the party representative, Lin Dingqi, the commander of the second battalion, and Ji Fang, the party representative;

The 3rd Battalion of the 2nd Regiment was one of the last units to be formed, and its garrison was the farthest away from the Military Academy, the battalion headquarters and the 2nd Company were in Xifang, and the 7th Company was stationed in Lanchaotai, east of Xifang. Lanchaotai was originally called the Iron Crown Temple, according to legend, the people of the Iron Crown Road in the early Ming Dynasty had been here to watch the tide for nine days and began to enlighten the Tao, and I don't know whether this legend is true or false, anyway, later the locals built the Iron Crown Temple here, but when the time came in a row, this temple has disappeared and only the foundation remains, and the Iron Crown Temple has become the Lanchao Platform.

When Zhuang Jihua came to the station of the Seventh Company, the company was training, and the sentry on duty stopped Zhuang Jihua and asked him what he was doing, Zhuang Jihua showed him the appointment letter in his pocket, and the sentry took a piece of paper and looked at it upside down for a while, and then said: "Sir, I can't read it, tell me what is written on it." Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but be happy when he heard it, and scolded with a smile: "If you don't understand it, you still see it, I'll tell you, I'm going to talk nonsense, do you believe it?" ”

The sentry is not big, only 1.6 or 7 meters, and he is ten years old, his skin is a little dark, he hesitated when he said this, and then looked him up and down for a while and said: "Your appearance is similar to when the platoon commander came, it shouldn't be a thin annihilation, you say, I want to think about it." ”

Zhuang Jihua laughed: "Okay, I came to you to be your company commander." ”

"If you don't believe it, bring it and I'll teach you." Zhuang Jihua saw that the sentry was suspicious, so he took the order and pointed to the words on it, and read it to him one by one: "What is written on it is: Order, Zhuang Jihua, a graduate of the first phase of the Whampoa Military Academy, served as the commander of the seventh company of the third battalion of the second regiment of the school army. ”

The sentry still didn't understand, but he understood that this happy-looking man was here to be the company commander, and after a few days as a soldier, he also knew that the company commander was bigger than the platoon commander. So he led Zhuang Jihua to the company.

Zhuang Jihua asked as he walked, "What's your name, little ghost." The word "little ghost" made Zhuang Jihua feel a little chief.

"Dog."

"I'm talking about big names, not small names." How is it like a screen name, Zhuang Jihua was a little speechless.

"I don't have a big name, and I'm called a dog when I'm young."

"And what's your last name? It's what is the surname of the hundred family names. Do you understand? Zhuang Jihua knew that he was illiterate, for fear that he would not understand what his surname was.

"I understand, my surname is Zhao, Zhao Dogan, and the platoon commander also calls me that." Zhao Goudan said to Zhuang Jihua a little aggrieved, feeling that this company commander looked down on people.

"Zhao dogan, this name is not good." Zhuang Jihua opened his mouth and said, he has been in this world for so long, and it is the first time that he does not need to ambush to talk to people.

"What's wrong, several of us in the village are called dogs." Soldier Zhao Goudan was a little dissatisfied with Zhuang Jihua's slander.

"A dog's egg is a dog's egg, have you ever seen a dog lay an egg?" Zhuang Jihua asked him. Zhao Goudan shook his head, how could dogs lay eggs, dogs give birth to puppies, and only chickens and ducks lay eggs.

"I'll give you a name." Zhuang Jihua said enthusiastically.

"Oh no, my parents call me a dog." Zhao Goudan felt that this person would change his name when he came up, as if he had bad intentions.

"Dogan is a nickname, I'll give you a big name." Zhuang Jihua began to tempt Comrade Goudan.

"Oh, tell me about it." Zhao Goudan was a little moved, it was not easy for the croppers to have a good name, and the third uncle asked Xiucai in the village to name his little grandson and sent ten eggs.

"Who are you?"

"Zhao Zhuang." Zhuang Jihua began to be depressed again.

"Which province am I talking about?" "Northern Jiangsu Zhaozhuang."

"Oh, there is," Zhuang Jihua took two steps and said, "How is Zhao Hanjie." ”

Comrade Goudan blinked and asked, "Company commander, is there anything particular?" ”

"The little ghost is quite smart, of course there is, you are from northern Jiangsu, you came to Guangzhou from northern Jiangsu to participate in the revolution, you are a hero, a hero. That's why it's called Hanjie. Well, buddy, that's a good name, isn't it? Seeing that his status as a company commander began to be accepted, Zhuang Jihua was a little encouraged.

"Okay, then I will be called Zhao Hanjie in the future." Dog, don't call Comrade Han Jie now After thinking about it for a while, I feel that heroes and heroes are all good words: "Company commander, what is buddy?" ”

"Oh, buddy means brother." Zhuang Jihua only thought about it now, this buddy should be fifty or sixty years later.

The two of them walked and chatted, and when they passed by a group of soldiers who were training in the queue, they suddenly heard someone call him: "*, *." ”

Zhuang Jihua looked up and saw that a short man was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and the sentry stood up when he saw the short man: "Report to the platoon commander, this commander said that he is our company commander, and I am leading him to the company headquarters." ”

"Got it, you go back to the sentry post, I'll lead him."

"Shoushan, why are you here? Aren't you in a ball. Zhuang Jihua was a little puzzled, Hu Zongnan was sent to the company by him.

"Originally, I did a good job in the first regiment, but when the second regiment was established, it said that the second regiment should form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, so a group of people were transferred from the first regiment to the second regiment, and I was drawn, and the platoon commanders of this company were all transferred from the first regiment, and you are also familiar with it, it is Guangting and Mengguo." Hu Zongnan said, but he didn't say everything, as soon as he came over, he was promoted by one level, from platoon commander to deputy company commander, the company commander never arrived, he thought that his superiors would straighten him out, but he didn't expect to send Zhuang Jihua to serve as the company commander.

"Guangting and Meng Guo," this is an unexpected surprise, Chiang Kai-shek is not bad to himself, and he sent all the party-state generals under his command, Zhuang Jihua was proud for a while.

"What about the party representatives?"

"Puquan may be in the company, it's all from our first phase." Hu Zongnan stretched out his hand to take the salute, but Zhuang Jihua hurriedly grabbed it and said, "I'll come by myself, there are not many steps." ”

"You're welcome, I didn't take a few steps to carry it." Hu Zongnan said without changing his face that these people had been trained by Zhuang Jihua.

"It's fake enough," Zhuang Jihua smiled, and stopped stopping it.

"How long have you been training?" After walking a few steps, Zhuang Jihua asked casually.

"How long, four days."

"Well, it looks a little bit like that." It's a complete casual compliment.

"These people are stupid, oh, you don't have to be official." Hu Zongnan felt that something was wrong, but he was very familiar with Zhuang Jihua, and he spoke casually, knowing Zhuang Jihua's habits.

"I hear you." Hu Zongnan glanced at him, obviously nonsense.

"Hey, then I won't fight anymore." Zhuang Jihua grinned.

When he came to the company headquarters, party representative Cao Yuan was carrying a bucket in one hand and a brush in the other, and was brushing a wooden board one by one, watching while brushing.

Zhuang Jihua made a silent gesture to Hu Zongnan, quietly walked behind Cao Yuan, and then quietly watched there.

When Cao Yuan stopped and was about to take two steps back to observe, there was a message from behind: "At first glance, it is amateurish, and there are two more strokes on the left." ”

He didn't look back and said, "When did you ever work as a lacquerer?" After saying that, add two brushes on the left.

Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "I haven't done it as a professional lacquer maker, but I have done it as an amateur wall painter." How do you know it's me. ”

"With this kind of oily and smooth voice, who else in the whole school but you?"

"Ahh Zhuang Jihua turned his head to look at Hu Zongnan, and said dissatisfiedly: "How is it oily and slippery, it should be witty and humorous." You said it wasn't Shoushan. ”

"Well, I agree with Pu Quan's point of view on this point. According to the regulations, I must tell the truth when asked by the chief. Hu Zongnan thought about it, and then said apologetically to Zhuang Jihua.

"Cut, it's not a lie. I look at the two of you, one is dull wood, the other is old in disguise, and two embarrassed guys. Zhuang Jihua retaliated.

"Whether it's dull wood or pretending to be old, you are welcome to come to the Seventh Company as a company commander." Cao Yuan put down the lacquer bucket, turned around and shook hands with Zhuang Jihua, Zhuang Jihua held his hand smoothly, and immediately found out that he was fooled, Cao Yuan's hands were covered with pitch-black lacquer, under this grip, Zhuang Jihua's hands naturally turned black, Hu Zongnan and Cao Yuan looked at Zhuang Jihua staring at the pitch-black hands and laughing at the same time. Zhuang Jihua couldn't help laughing when he looked at the two of them.

Then Zhuang Jihua asked where the gasoline was a little distressed, and Cao Yuan asked puzzled what he wanted the gasoline for?

Zhuang Jihua wondered: "How have you washed your hands these days?" The paint is washed off with gasoline. ”

Cao Yuan and Hu Zongnan looked at him sympathetically at the same time: "Alas, rich kids, where is this paint, we can't find the paint, this is the ash tone at the bottom of the pot, and it will be gone when washed with water." ”

After settling down, Cao Yuan asked the herald to call Du Yuming and Song Xilian to the company headquarters, and Zhuang Jihua read the order to everyone and officially assumed the position of company commander. However, Zhuang Jihua did not ask them to gather the whole company for an inauguration ceremony, but after asking for the training plan, he asked the three platoon commanders to continue to train the troops, and Cao Yuan also continued to brush the blackboard, while he sat there to watch the training plan and the recent work arrangement.

At dinner, the Seventh Company gathered in front of the cooking class, and Zhuang Jihua took this opportunity to deliver an inaugural speech.

"Brothers, my name is Zhuang Jihua, from now on, I will be your company commander, and we will eat in a pot from now on; Remember, I will train you, lead you to battle, and lead you out of battle alive. Finished. ”

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, and they don't make a sound.

There was not even a round of applause, Zhuang Jihua was depressed, although this passage was short, it was the result of his hard thinking since he received the order, and now he didn't react, and failed....
