Chapter 54: The Rumor Makers

"Platoon commander, those bandits want to harm us, you can't fall for it!" The corporal deputy squad leader tried to persuade his platoon commander in a cuckoo crying blood.

"Zhang Youfu, don't talk nonsense to me here! Commander Hu took over the command by the brigade commander himself, and now he is the supreme commander of our raiding force. You and I are his soldiers, why should he harm us? ”

The platoon commander of the 74th Army is not the kind of illiterate soldier who has survived from the big head soldier by his qualifications, he graduated from the Central Military Academy seriously, is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and Wang Yaowu and Zhang Lingfu are both alumni. At that time, Whampoa students had a significant characteristic, that is, they were handsome and heroic. It is the kind of social elite who shines at first glance.

Standing with the platoon leader, the deputy squad leader, who was more than a step behind in appearance and figure, still continued to nag, "Everyone has selfish intentions, and Hu Fei is no exception!" Platoon commander, think about it, what did Hu Fei do before? He is a bandit, a bandit, a bandit leader! We are officers and soldiers, and we are fighting bandits! Let him be in charge of the officers and soldiers, then he won't wear small shoes for the officers and soldiers, right? Let's just say ...... this time."

"Shut up!" The platoon commander's face sank at that time, "Zhang Youfu, I can warn you, now Commander Hu is the commander of our raid force, this is absolutely true." As a corporal and deputy squad leader of the raiding force, you should consciously maintain the dignity of your commander. This is the first and last time, and don't let me find out that you say anything like that that affects unity! Otherwise, don't blame me for not being emotional! ”

The platoon commander's sharp reprimand made Zhang Youfu swallow the next words into his stomach, and the upright platoon commander couldn't listen to his words at all! Zhang Youfu was a clever man, and seeing that the platoon commander did not agree with his statement, he quickly changed his words and said that he had also listened to others, and promised the platoon commander that he would never say anything bad about Commander Hu again in the future.

Because Zhang Youfu had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, the platoon commander did not punish him severely, and Zhang Youfu escaped. This is the cousin corporal Zhang Youfu of the sergeant Zhang Youlu who was mistakenly killed by Ji Jinbiao, and he had asked Zhang Lingfu to complain at that time. Not to mention that he didn't get support, Zhang Lingfu was also wary of him and sent two people to watch his every move in secret.

Now that Zhang Lingfu is seriously injured, the two who stared at him will be automatically disbanded. Zhang Youfu had just gotten rid of the surveillance, and he was planning to make some moves again.

It's not that the platoon commander doesn't listen to him, this one still has a way. He is the deputy squad leader, and he is also in charge of several people. If others don't listen to him, his soldiers can't and don't listen to him, right? While it was time to have dinner, Zhang Youfu carried out ideological education for the seven soldiers in the squad.

The squad leader died yesterday, and Zhang Youfu, the deputy squad leader, is the biggest officer in the squad, as long as he is still alive at the end of this battle, he is the squad leader. Of course, the ordinary soldiers in the squad didn't dare to let the squad leader shut up, if you want to say it, you can say it, anyway, being idle is idle, and it is of course a good thing not to spend money to listen to people tell stories.

As a result, Zhang Youfu's goal of brainwashing these soldiers was successfully achieved.

The soldiers on the battlefield, except for fighting, eating, and sleeping, they don't have any entertainment activities, and some rare things can always spread very quickly among the low-level soldiers. Naturally, the seven soldiers who thought they had the latest news could not keep the secret in their hearts, and the rumors quickly spread to all the soldiers belonging to the 153rd Brigade of the raiding force at a speed like the wind.

Those who are soldiers know about it, and of course those who are officials can't have heard of it. Since this matter has always been limited to private discussions, the officers have no intention of stopping it, and all their energy is focused on how to deal with the devils, and the discussions of the low-level soldiers will let them go as long as they do not affect the battle.

Of course, there were individual officers who expressed support for the soldiers' discussions. In the 153rd Brigade and the 3rd Temporary Regiment, it is actually very easy to support one's own people.

On the 153rd Brigade, there was a major battalion commander surnamed Zheng, who was the highest-ranking officer below Zhang Lingfu in the raiding force. After Camp Commander Zheng heard the rumors, he thought that the matter was very important, and sent someone to find out the initiator Zhang Youfu after a little investigation. It is said that this matter should be reported to Brigade Commander Zhang Lingfu to know, but Brigade Commander Zhang is seriously injured, and Battalion Commander Zheng plans to deal with it by himself.

Creating rumors on the battlefield and confusing the morale of the army is a capital crime! It should be pulled out and shot directly! But Battalion Commander Zheng is a soldier of the new era who has gone to a military school, and he does not like the warlord style of careless human life. So, Camp Commander Zheng decided to give this Zhang Youfu a chance to plead.

Zhang Youfu knew that this was his last chance, this kid was like a MLM lecturer in class, he was talking endlessly. The more he speaks, the more reasonable he becomes, and the more interesting others listen. Of course, Battalion Commander Zheng has a resolute revolutionary will, and he will never be impressed by the speech of a small corporal deputy squad leader.

Seeing that Zhang Youfu said very energetically, Camp Commander Zheng had a heart of love. Okay, this kid is pretty good at speaking. Come on, give him a chance to live, let him stay and be a propaganda officer! In this way, Camp Commander Zheng said that Zhang Youfu was blessed by misfortune, not only saved his life, but also promoted him and became a clerk in the battalion headquarters of Camp Chief Zheng.

Although Battalion Commander Zheng and all the officers present who listened to the speech did not believe Zhang Youfu's words, there was always something merit in what he said.

Zhang Youfu said that Hu Fei's suppression of the 153rd Brigade and bullying the 153rd Brigade were obviously nonsense. Can anyone suppress the 153rd Brigade of the 74th Army? Can anyone be bullied? Let's not talk about it from afar, let's talk about the current Zhang Gushan, Hu Fei's temporary third regiment now has only a few dozen people, and the 153rd Brigade still has two or three hundred people. Can dozens of people suppress two or three hundred people?

said that Hu Fei did not want to forge ahead and only knew how to defend it, which Camp Commander Zheng could not agree with. People only know how these three fortifications came about? Did the devil let it out on his own initiative? Isn't it, isn't it the head of the family who shot him with a knife?

Of course, there are reasonable places, and Zhang Youfu proposed that the 153rd Brigade should take the initiative to attack and strive for greater victories, which is more in line with Battalion Commander Zheng's appetite. As a revolutionary soldier, who doesn't want to make their troops stand out and become the most dazzling of all troops?

These three fortifications were laid down by the 3rd Regiment of the People's Temporary, but the 153rd Brigade, as the main force of the raiding force, has not achieved any outstanding results, which makes Battalion Commander Zheng very unhappy!

Of course, Battalion Commander Zheng can't do anything without obeying orders and acting without authorization, but if he doesn't do it, he can let others do it. Isn't Zhang Youfu the most suitable candidate?

Battalion Commander Zheng called Zhang Youfu, the newly promoted battalion clerk, over to talk.

Don't you look down on Commander Hu and think that our 153rd Brigade should have a greater right to speak? Okay, I'll give you a chance now. You have led thirty of your brethren to the front, and I will see how much you can achieve. The 3rd Regiment of the Provisional Regiment knocked down three Japanese fortifications last night, and if you can take down more than three, I will apply for the brigade seat and promote you to be a platoon commander!
