After Chiang Kai-shek and his entourage left, Zhuang Jihua honestly stood on the field for two hours, and he did not hesitate to resign to resist the regiment commander's decision to punish Han Wensheng and Zhao Hanjie again. You must know that the most important thing for a soldier during the war years is to follow the right commander, and the best commander is one who can both fight and love his subordinates; Of course, the first place is to fight, and the commanders who can fight have few casualties and great meritorious service, that is a kind of happiness, and I am afraid that I don't know how you will die; If you want to fight a war, then it's okay to love the soldiers, at least you won't let the soldiers suffer in peacetime.

Zhuang Jihua's performance in the exercise has been detected by the soldiers, and now he has come forward for two soldiers who have seriously violated military discipline, and the soldiers immediately realize that they are following a good commander. As soon as the soldiers explained, the recruits were simply looking at Zhuang Jihua with admiration, which made Zhuang Jihua a little inexplicable and very unaccustomed for a period of time.

The alarm was lifted, and Zhuang Jihua no longer had a psychological burden, and he began to regulate the troops completely according to his own ideas. But he also knew that he already had a strong enemy-the regiment commander Wang Bailing.

In the next few days, whether it was Wang Jun, the boss of the battalion, Zheng Dongguo, or the commander of the regiment, Wang Bailing and Zhang Jingyu, they often came to the Seventh Company, and the people in the company were very lively, which was in huge contrast with the fact that no one cared about it some time ago, which made Zhuang Jihua and Cao Yuan a little flattered, and later learned from Zheng Dongguo that after leaving the Seventh Company that day, Chiang Kai-shek went to the camp headquarters of the third battalion in Xifang and checked the training of the Eighth Company.

Coming out of the Seventh Company, Chiang Kai-shek made a detour to the headquarters of the Third Battalion, and by the way, he also looked at the Eighth Company; After returning to the headquarters of the third battalion, Chiang Kai-shek began to reprimand Wang Bailing, asking him how many of the 12 companies of the 2nd Regiment he had visited, how much he knew about the troops, and whether you had mastered the training plan and training progress of each company? Although Zhuang Jihua made mistakes, his troops were well led and the training was very tight, what did you Wang Bailing do besides chanting Buddha? I asked you to bring soldiers, not monks. Chiang Kai-shek almost removed Wang Bailing on the spot in anger, but fortunately, Director Zhou persuaded him, in fact, Director Zhou also saw that Chiang Kai-shek did not really want to remove Wang Bailing, otherwise he would not have reprimanded Wang Bailing when he returned to the battalion.

Cao Yuan became more and more incomprehensible to Zhuang Jihua, during the afternoon break, the soldiers of the first platoon and the second platoon fought in groups, and when they reported to the company headquarters, Cao Yuan was very anxious, but Zhuang Jihua grabbed him and did not let him deal with it immediately, but waited for them to fight for a period of time before going. The way it was handled made Cao Yuan even more dumbfounded.

Who is right and who is wrong, Zhuang Jihua doesn't ask at all, he divides the soldiers into three parts, those who win, are punished for running 3,000 meters, those who lose are punished for running 5,000 meters, and those in the two platoons who did not participate in the fight follow him for ten kilometers. Zhuang Jihua also explained that fighting is a violation of military discipline, so those who participate in the fight must be punished, but the fight of the soldier must be won, and losing is a crime, so those who win run 3,000 meters, and those who lose run 5,000 meters. Zhuang Jihua also announced that anyone who fights with friendly forces will be imprisoned, winning the confinement for one day and losing the confinement for three days. The soldier who didn't participate in the fight quit, and asked him how we would be punished if we didn't fight, Zhuang Jihua scolded with a glaring eye, seeing that the brothers in his platoon were beaten and didn't help, it was reasonable; I, the company commander, didn't teach you well, so I was punished with you.

Afterwards, Cao Yuan scolded him for having no views on right and wrong and encouraged the soldiers to fight; Zhuang Jihua explained that the military camp is to have a murderous spirit, and the soldiers dare to fight if they have the fire, which means that they have a murderous spirit, and the soldiers who do not have a murderous spirit are not soldiers but a flock of sheep; Besides, he didn't encourage the soldiers to fight, and you didn't see that everyone who fought was punished.

From then on, the soldiers of the Seventh Company kept in mind a lesson that if you want to win a fight, you must fight together; That is, from this time on, no one in the other companies dared to provoke the soldiers of the seventh company; It was from this time that the officers from the Seventh Company maintained this tradition no matter where they were. In Hu Zongnan's words, the seven companies that come out are a group of wolves, you are a sheep into the seven companies, and Zhuang Jihua can also turn you into a wolf.

At the end of the year, when the military salary was paid, Zhuang Jihua was not polite, and not only collected his own money, but also collected the money of Cao Yuan, Hu Zongnan, Song Xilian, Du Yuming, and the three deputy platoon commanders and deputy party representatives who had just been distributed. The four newcomers were wronged, and they knew that they would report two days late. Within two days, a group of carpenters and masons marched into the barracks, and three days later a brand new training ground appeared in the camp of the Seventh Company.

This new training ground includes climbing, obstacles, barbed wire, trenches, canoe bridges, and more; Anyway, Zhuang Jihua has seen it in his previous life. However, the new training ground brings new problems, and there are some projects that no one knows how to do. So Zhuang Jihua took a few officers and squad leaders to start practicing first, summarizing while practicing. They were asked to come up with a set of training methods. As for whether it is scientific and reasonable, Zhuang Jihua doesn't care, anyway, it is our original, and whoever has the heart will correct it in the future.

After the Chinese New Year, Li Anguo, the clerk, brought back another newspaper from the battalion headquarters, and in addition to the original "Friends of the Soldiers", there was also another mimeographed tabloid "Revolutionary Youth", and the editor-in-chief He Jinhan. Looking at this tabloid, Zhuang Jihua knew that He Jinhan finally broke down with Yang Qigang, he could only sigh, and then he was even more reluctant to go back to the school, and he did not allow his officers to go out, and they all stayed in the company to pay close attention to training.

Zhuang Jihua also likes to be with these soldiers more and more, here he doesn't have to play any tricks, he lives a life of singing when he wants to sing and scold when he wants.

The amount of training is getting bigger and bigger, and the soldiers who are in poor health sometimes faint on the training ground, so Zhuang Jihua has no choice but to force the Niu squad leader to find something delicious and make a good meal, and the Niu squad leader has nothing to do, there is only so much money, and the money to eat well is not enough. Zhuang Jihua didn't know what to do, went out with him, bought a lot of rat fish from the market, this kind of fish is small and has little meat, can't be sold, the locals are mainly used to feed cats, but Zhuang Jihua knows that this kind of fish in the restaurant in the previous life will be sold for dozens of yuan, so the special dish of the seventh company braised fish was born, and later Wang Jun Zheng Dongguo ate it, and sent the guys from the battalion to study, and then it became the specialty of the third battalion and the specialty of the second regiment.

After the New Year, Chiang Kai-shek held a meeting in the Second Regiment, no more than I don't know, the Seventh Company was obviously different from other companies after it was pulled to the field. The same station, the soldiers of the seventh company stood there without moving, the other companies were okay at first, and after a little while, some people quietly moved their necks and feet; The procession marched, and the Seventh Company was moving from beginning to end as if one person was moving; Skirmishers' attacks, the tactical movements of the Seventh Company are fast but the norms are slightly poor, but they are still the first in the whole regiment; In short, the Seven Links encompass all the firsts of the Huiji. Chiang Kai-shek ordered a reward of 500 yuan, ten soldiers were promoted to the ranks, and the second class was promoted to first class, first class soldiers were promoted to corporal, and corporal was promoted to sergeant, and the list was declared by the seventh company itself.

However, Zhuang Jihua still suggested to Chiang Kai-shek that the meritorious people among the soldiers could be sent to the Whampoa Military Academy to study, and took Wang Xiaoshan and Wu Ziniu as examples, these two people have rich combat experience, but their culture is slightly worse, although culture is important to soldiers, but combat experience is more important. Zhuang Jihua's suggestion was supported by his adviser Gallen, who said that the system had long been implemented in the Red Army. Chiang Kai-shek listened to Gallen's approval and gladly adopted it, and asked the Political Department and the Enlisted Students Department to jointly formulate implementation measures.
