Xifang is a small village, there are only a few dozen households, the Eighth Company and the third battalion headquarters are stationed here, the battalion headquarters is in the village, the Eighth Company lives in the sunflower shed outside the village, Du Yuming's cousins Du Yuchang and Xu Jishen are platoon commanders in the Eighth Company. Battalion commander Wang Jun is a topographical instructor at the Whampoa Military Academy, graduated from the Yueben Noncommissioned Officer School, and is Wang Bailing's old subordinate.

When Zhuang Jihua arrived at the battalion headquarters, Zheng Dongguo came out of it with two soldiers, one of the two soldiers was carrying a bucket of paint, and the other was carrying a bench.

Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to slack off to salute Zheng Dongguo first, and then said with a smile: "The party representative personally painted, it's hard enough." ”

Seeing Zhuang Jihua coming, Zheng Dongguo was very happy, he was an honest man who didn't care about Zhuang Jihua's jokes, and he knew that he couldn't talk about Zhuang Jihua, so he didn't answer this conversation, but just stepped forward and punched Zhuang Jihua's shoulder, and then asked with a smile: "*, why are you here, the training plan you reported the day before yesterday startled Instructor Wang, fortunately it's you Zhuang *, if it were someone else, the instructor would definitely not approve it." ”

"You lightened, you injured me, our third battalion has not yet entered the battlefield, but we will reduce the number of company commanders." Zhuang Jihua said with a smile.

"Go, go, you Zhuang Jihua is papier-mâché, tell me, how did you come up with such a plan?"

Zhuang Jihua said helplessly: "I can't help it, force it out." ”

"Forced out? Who forced it? Zheng Dongguo asked suspiciously.

Zhuang Jihua looked at the two soldiers and did not speak. Zheng Dongguo hurriedly asked the two soldiers to take the things to the Eighth Company first, and he arrived later.

When the two soldiers were far away, Zhuang Jihua pulled Zheng Dongguo to a corner and quietly told him his judgment that he was going to the battlefield. Zheng Dongguo asked with some surprise after hearing this, "What did the principal say to you?" ”

"No, is the headmaster going to say this to me? It's my own judgment, you just know this matter, don't spread it, it's just my judgment, if it's not accurate, it's a trivial matter for me to be embarrassed, and it's a big deal to mess up the morale of the army. Zhuang Jihua is still more at ease with Zheng Dongguo, according to his observation at school, this person speaks very steadily, and he believes that he will not spread the word.

"Of course." Zheng Dongguo nodded, but he was still a little unconvinced: "Do you really think that we are going to go to war so soon?" Zhuang Jihua whispered: "I'm eighty percent sure, I don't believe it, let's see." ”

Zheng Dongguo is still very confident in Zhuang Jihua, not to mention the rest, during the graduation exercise, commanding less than 500 people to defeat the two battalions of the first regiment was enough to make him trust, and it was rumored afterwards that the battle plan of the first regiment was actually drawn up by the chief instructor He Yingqin himself, which made all the students of the first phase even more proud.

"And what are you doing today? Suggest to Instructor Wang to promote your training methods throughout the camp? Zheng Dongguo asked.

"I'm here to ask for punishment." Zhuang Jihua said in his heart, am I so arrogant? Tell your boss that their plan doesn't work, and follow me this one, isn't that looking for a draw? "Something happened to our company, two soldiers escaped and were captured, and I dealt with it without reporting it."

"Shot!?" Zheng Dongguo asked worriedly, this is also something he has to ask, so he is also a little nervous.

"No, three days of confinement." Zhuang Jihua seemed to be aware of Zheng Dongguo's identity as a party representative at this time, and hurriedly took out the report he wrote and handed it to him.

Zheng Dongguo took it and looked at it carefully, then thought about it and asked, "Are you sure this method is effective?" ”

"It's working. Now the soldiers of the whole company have been mobilized, the training is extremely conscientious, and the cultural study is also very serious. In the words of Moe Guo, it turns out that he can't kick a fart with three kicks and now he seems to have opened up. ”

"Oh! That's great, I'll go to your company that day to have a look, and if the effect is good, I'll promote it throughout the battalion. You don't know, it's very difficult to carry out the ideological work of the whole battalion, and the one in the school doesn't seem to work. Zheng Dongguo also faced the same problem as Cao Yuan, the quality of the soldiers was low, and they didn't understand the set in the military academy. Therefore, when he learned that the ideological work of the Seventh Company was effective, he immediately had an unexpected surprise.

"But if you deal with the deserters without authorization, you should talk to Instructor Wang, so let's go together."

"Don't, I'll go in first, you can come back after you are done with your business, it's no big deal." Zhuang Jihua said nonchalantly.

"Okay, I'm going first, make sure you come over and say hello to me before you go." Zheng Dongguo also felt that it was nothing, with the status of * in the principal's mind, Wang Jun didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, so how could he give the principal two faces.

But there are always accidents, Wang Jun was so angry after reading Zhuang Jihua's report that his face was flushed, and he said in his heart, Wow, you Zhuang Jihua only remembered to report to me after you Zhuang Jihua dealt with it, what do you think of me, now that's it, how can I command you in the future? So the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more tasteless it became. He threw Zhuang Jihua's report on the table and said loudly: "Company Commander Zhuang, I want to ask you, why did you only come to report now?" You put my boss there! You put the regimental commander there! You said! ”

Zhuang Jihua knew that Wang Jun would be a little uncomfortable, so he planned to let Wang Jun out of anger first, apologize in a low voice, and ask for punishment; then explain in detail what he thought at the beginning, so as to convince him; But he didn't expect Wang Jun to be so angry as soon as he came up, and his voice shook the grass on the roof.

Zhuang Jihua knew that something was wrong, and today was more sad than he imagined.

"Report to the battalion commander, the humble post was angry at the time, so I dealt with it, and afterwards I thought that this was a violation of military discipline, so the humble post asked for punishment."

"Hmph, smack," Wang Jun squirted twice from his nostrils, and then slapped his hands on the table: "You still know about requesting punishment, look at this report, is it a report requesting punishment?" You're doing it. Are you thinking that I should ask my boss for credit for you, ah! ”

Wang Jun walked up to Zhuang Jihua, stared at Zhuang Jihua and said: "You Zhuang Jihua is amazing, you can ignore the principal's discipline and the discipline of the army, you can do whatever you want, isn't it?" ”

"I don't have the power to deal with deserters, you dare to deal with it, you are better than me, this battalion commander should be you, no, the commander of this regiment should be you."

Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to answer, and now he knew that there was a big trouble.
