After coming out of the company headquarters, Zhuang Jihua went to the field to see how they practiced. In fact, it is more like a relatively flat sandy field than a squad, and the soldiers are scattered in squads and are conducting marching training in queues.

The establishment of the teaching regiment is to learn from the establishment of the Soviet and Russian military units, and the three-three system is implemented, with three platoons in seven companies, three squads in each platoon, 12 people in each squad, one squad leader, one platoon commander and one deputy platoon commander in the platoon, 37 people in the whole platoon, 111 people in the three platoons, five people in the cooking squad, one company commander and one deputy company commander in the company headquarters, one party representative, one clerk, one messenger, and one trumpeter, with a total strength of 126 people. However, now that Hu Zongnan is the deputy company commander, the deputy platoon commanders of each faction have not yet arrived, so there is no way to let the establishment be late. Don't look at the seventh company of the third battalion, it is still at the front of the sequence of the third battalion company, but the seventh company is the latest company of the three battalions of the entire teaching regiment, of course, it is not the latest unit established by the entire party army, and artillery battalions, reading battalions and other units have also been set up later. The reason why the Seventh Company was established late was because Zhuang Jihua, the chief official, came late.

In order to send these soldiers to Guangzhou, Chen Guofu, who was in charge of recruitment, racked his brains, and exhausted all the methods of work, trading, and so on, and finally came over, and he could not let these soldiers go on the road by themselves, and they had to be escorted, otherwise they would definitely run away. Every time, there are more than 100 people, less than a dozen people, it is not safe to arrive in Guangzhou, all the armies are staring, Yang Ximin of the Yunnan army has intercepted nearly 100 people, and Chiang Kai-shek only needs to come back more than 20 people, so every batch will be led by the company commander, the seventh company has no chief officer, Hu Zongnan's low-level speech does not work, until the other companies are full, it is the turn of the seventh company.

Zhuang Jihua paced around the field to observe the training of each class, and Cao Yuan put the painted wooden planks outside the company headquarters to continue to let the wind dry, and then also went to the side of the field to pace and chat with Zhuang Jihua.

"Pu Quan, how do you do ideological work?" In his previous life, [***] was very good at ideological work, so Zhuang Jihua suddenly wanted to know how they did it.

"Otherwise, it's about the same as in school." Cao Yuan was a little dull.

"That should be good, I think the political work in the school is doing very well, especially after Director Zhou came."

"Well, these people don't understand what I'm talking about, last night I was in the second row and I told them about opposing imperialism, and one of the soldiers actually asked me who imperialism is? Why is the name so weird. Alas" Cao Yuan remembered the situation last night, and sighed.

"Poof," Zhuang Jihua didn't hold back when he heard this: "Brother, then you can explain it to him." ”

"I explained, I said that imperialism is the British, the French, and the people who invaded us."

"Do they understand?"

"I understand, they say that they are foreigners, why do they say it so evilly." Cao Yuan tasted a little bitter. Zhuang Jihua was about to laugh. "What the fuck are you fucking fuckers?" There was a burst of scolding from the field: "You pig brain, stupid, donkey will turn around three times, you can't fucking teach it." ”

The two of them turned their heads and saw a squad leader angrily scolding a recruit, scolding and scolding to raise his leg is a kick, the recruit lowered his head and didn't pay attention, and was kicked to the ground at once, the soldier didn't dare to get up, and curled up his body on the ground, and the squad leader looked at him so angry that he stepped forward and kicked again, "You stand up for Lao Tzu, damn, stand up." ”

Cao Yuan was about to go up as soon as he saw this, but Zhuang Jihua grabbed him: "You don't care about the training ground you said, and even if you want to take care of it, you can't go now." Let's talk in another place. ”

When Cao Yuan heard this, he remembered that he had just promised not to care about the violence on the training ground, so he had no choice but to turn around with Zhuang Jihua and walk in the other direction.

Zhuang Jihua felt that he had an oversight, that is, he was negligent to the squad leader. Although the platoon commanders understand and support their own training plans, the squad leader is the one who implements them, and the squad leader is an important part of the company, and the combat effectiveness of a company has a lot to do with the ability of these squad leaders.

"These squad leaders seem to be veterans, where did they come from?" Zhuang Jihua asked.

"Some of the Second Division of the Guangdong Army, and some of them were transferred from Zhu Peide's Department of the Yunnan Army. Other companies were transferred from the Generalissimo's Guard Battalion. After Cao Yuan explained, he said contemptuously: "It's all veterans." ”

The veteran soldier is the kind of person who has good military skills, goes to the good when he sees the benefits, hides when he sees difficulties, is familiar with various rules in the army, and you can't punish him if you want to.

"Oh," Zhuang Jihua thought about and said, "Then I should talk to them more, the squad leader is an important position." ”

"By the way*, why did you say just now that you want to manage it, you can't manage it now." Cao Yuan remembered what happened just now and asked.

"If you manage it, don't think about teaching that class today, unless you change someone, and the training of other classes will be greatly reduced." Zhuang Jihua said: "Pu Quan, I know that you are not used to beating and scolding soldiers, and I am also against it, but just now Hu Zongnan and they were right, when there is time on the training ground, you have to beat and scold them a few times, and that is not to harm them, but to love them." ”

"Love them?" Cao Yuan looked at Zhuang Jihua puzzled.

"Master Yan produces high apprentices, masters in other industries don't teach well, apprentices are starving at most, but Master Yan in the army is different, he can let you save your life. Think about whether a soldier with good military skills suffered more casualties or worse. So it's better to let them be beaten and shed a little tears than to lose their lives, you say. This is called sweating more in peacetime and less bloodshed in wartime. Zhuang Jihua followed the good path.

"Well, you're not wrong, but I'm a party representative, and I should take care of these behaviors when I see them." Cao Yuan felt that Zhuang Jihua was right, but his duty was not to let this kind of behavior go, and he was a little conflicted.

"Hehe, this is not easy to do, you don't go to the training ground, there are people under the training ground who do this, you just grab a few typical ones and deal with them. In this way, the prestige of your party representatives will be established, and the atmosphere will gradually turn around. ”

Cao Yuan nodded slowly, agreeing with this approach.

"Actually, there is another way," Zhuang Jihua said to Cao Yuan with his head sideways, and when he saw Cao Yuan's somewhat surprised look, he said: "But this method is very slow to work, and it is not easy to adopt at present, so I will try again when I have time in the future." "He is now a little shaken in his view of the party's super-strong political and ideological work, and he feels that it is not quite the same as the rumors in his previous life.

Cao Yuan asked a little curiously when he heard this: "Let's talk about it first, what is the solution?" ”

Zhuang Jihua said with a smile: "Cultural education, teach soldiers to read and write, with culture can understand the revolutionary truth, understand the revolutionary truth of the soldiers' positive surname will be mobilized, you see what is the difference between our Huangpu students and these soldiers, I think the only difference is that we are more educated than them." ”

Cao Yuan nodded: "Well, it seems so." It turns out that you let the soldiers teach literacy and still have this in mind. ”

Indeed, although Zhuang Jihua does not know history, he only knows that a soldier without knowledge cannot become an excellent soldier. However, history has given an accurate answer, during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in the previous life, the youth army composed of intellectual youths who joined the army under the call of 100,000 young men and 100,000 soldiers was one of the most tenacious troops in both the anti-Japanese front line and the civil war front. A typical example is the late Liaoshen Campaign, after the defeat of Jinzhou, Liao Yaoxiang's corps was annihilated, the Changchun defenders surrendered, and the Kuomintang army in the northeast surrendered.

Zhuang Jihua nodded and said, "But there is one thing that can be done immediately." He looked at Cao Yuan and saw that he was listening attentively: "A squad leader has only one squad leader, and there can also be a deputy squad leader, and we can let the soldiers choose this deputy squad leader, we don't interfere, let the soldiers choose the people they trust." ”

When Cao Yuan heard this, he was so excited that he immediately punched Zhuang Jihua: "Okay, good idea, I didn't expect it." After a while, these deputy squad leaders will be able to become candidates for squad leaders, so that they can replace those veteran oilers. Okay, do it today. ”

Zhuang Jihua was punched, grinned, and shouted at Cao Yuan: "The dog said, the party representative also beat people, seriously violating the regulations on political work, I want to file a lawsuit." ”

Cao Yuan's eyes widened: "Hehe, okay, who testifies, is there any injury." ”

After running ten kilometers in the evening, the soldiers were lying on the ground crookedly, Zhuang Jihua hurriedly beckoned the officer and a few people who seemed to have good physical strength, and helped the people lying on the ground up, and then the two of them helped them walk for a while, and the cooking squad brought the boiled water up, and the soldiers huddled together to drink water.

This kind of empty-handed ten-kilometer cross-country is nothing to military cadets like Zhuang Jihua and Cao Yuan, but when a soldier runs ten kilometers, Zhuang Jihua, as a company commander, has to run eleven kilometers.

After resting for a while, the whole company gathered Zhuang Jihua and began to speak to the officers and soldiers of the whole company, in fact, it was nothing to announce some of his reforms, what will happen, rewards and punishments, and the matter of electing the deputy squad leader, which had already told Hu Zongnan and the three platoon commanders in the afternoon, although they did not understand the selection by the soldiers, but with Zhuang Jihua's eloquence it was easy to get them.

Then Zhuang Jihua left the squad leaders behind, and he planned to communicate with them.
