Before leaving, General Gallen cordially met with the officers and soldiers of the first battalion and the third company of the Reading Regiment, and took a group photo with Lieutenant Chu Xianzhi, the demolition instructor of the third company, and praised his fast and accurate blasting skills.

The next day, this precious photo was immediately published on the front page of the "Nanchang Yuebao," and the caption on the left side of the photo quoted General Gallen's praise, accompanied by the eye-catching headline "Model Battalion in the Revolutionary Army," and published a wonderful account of the whole interview by the newspaper reporter.

The only fly in the ointment is that General Gallen is too strong in the photo, and Chu Xianzhi, who is only 1.59 meters tall, has tried his best to straighten his spine, still like a child leaning against an adult.

After lunch, An Yi, who was full of spring breeze, also put down the newspaper, praised Chu Xianzhi's level, and was proud that he had such a baby.

Hearing the footsteps outside the door, seeing Huang Hanqian, the company deputy and instructor of the third battalion and third company, striding into the middle courtyard, An Yi hurriedly stopped him: "Han Qian, have you eaten?" ”

When Huang Hanqian heard this, he immediately strode into An Yi's door, saluted and replied in a low voice: "I'm not hungry, I have to ask Instructor Yin for information on field construction management, and then rush back to start the twenty-day intensive training of my company." ”

"Sit down for a while, follow the south to the second battalion in the east of the city to do business, and then come back later...... Are you used to it when you get to Lianli? If you have any difficulties and ideas, just talk about them, and don't be so outsider to your brothers. ”

An Yi took out a cigarette and put it on his lips, handed half a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches to Huang Hanqian, and looked at the senior brother of the political department of the fourth phase of Huangpu who had just been assigned a few days with the eleven apprentices of the fourth phase of Huangpu and the apprentices of the Chaozhou branch.

Twenty-three-year-old Huang Hanqian lit a cigarette and took a sharp puff, exhaled a large puff of smoke and sighed loudly: "Coming to the Reading Group is like returning to your own home, compared with the days when I was trained in the Seventh Army a few months ago, it is simply a heaven and a place!" Even I, a native of Quanzhou, Guangxi, can't stand it, let alone those brothers from other provinces. ”

An Yi smiled helplessly, knowing that Huang Hanqian and one hundred and seventy-six fourth-term brothers entered the Seventh Army for internship, and only ninety-four people were left after fierce battles and all of them were driven back in the end, he must have felt uncomfortable.

An Yi was helpless about the xenophobia of the Seventh Army, so he could only comfort him kindly: "It's good to come back, I am short of talents in the political department, cavalry department, and artillery department here, and people like you who can stay in General Li Zongren's troops for four months and have been beaten, and the younger brother can't find it with a lantern." ”

Huang Hanqian shook his hand: "Don't say it, I'm angry when I talk about it!" Xiao Yi, do you know what I'm doing in the Seventh Army? Lift the machine...... It's the kind of radio station that the Russians helped, and now the radio stations outside have been miniaturized, but Lao Tzu and the brothers of the four political departments have to lead a platoon of soldiers to serve the huge broken machine that is repaired several times a day, and as soon as the troops are opened, they have to be carried by sixteen people, eight people to carry the main engine, and eight people to carry the generator, which is as heavy as a hill, and there is a Russian technician in his thirties who has been drinking all day long, and he has to change people when he walks, and he has to change people after carrying a few miles, and finally stops and camps, and the machine breaks down again, Sometimes it can only receive the report but cannot send the report, sometimes it can only send the report but cannot receive the report, and most of the time it is repaired.

Those commanders in the military department are all hot-tempered, and Lao Tzu and a few senior brothers are scolded like grandsons all day long. I'm not afraid of your jokes, Lao Tzu hasn't even touched a gun in the Seventh Army, let alone anything to learn to lead soldiers at the grassroots level, the intern brothers in the infantry and artillery departments are better, they can go down to the company to exercise, but they die miserably, the officers and soldiers of the Seventh Army are not fatal, coming and going is to break through the outflanking on both sides of the center, otherwise it is to storm and fight to see who can survive, and when the enemy is tired, he suddenly sends a new force to attack from the flank, and few enemies can withstand this style of fighting, this is the only experience I learned in the Seventh Army. ”

An Yi laughed, and after laughing, he saw Huang Hanqian's sad face, and he was also a little apologetic: "Don't blame me, Lao Tzu has this surname, he likes to laugh, haha...... Let me tell you, originally the headquarters of the Quartermaster Department left me a radio station of this kind of Russian aid, quietly told me that it was brand new, early that morning Lao Tzu happily ran to the city's munitions warehouse like a thief, followed Director Yu into the warehouse, as soon as he saw the machine like a hill, he was immediately frightened and speechless, Director Yu also urged me to get rid quickly, so that others would know that there was still one left, and Lao Tzu immediately turned around and ran, shouting loudly while running, and provoked Director Yu to scold Lao Tzu and didn't care, Ha ha...... Is that thing for humans? As big as a truck with four wheels removed, can Lao Tzu afford to wait? I'd rather spend more money on new ones than Russian things, so you want to laugh when you say Lao Tzu, haha......"

Huang Hanqian also smiled: "Xiao Yi, I listened to the principal's lecture in the city that day, thousands of brothers and sisters sat there, and there were more than 300 people who returned from various armies, everyone wanted to drill into your model camp, I have no backstage and no ability, I still studied useless political science, I didn't dare to think that I could enter your regiment, how did you choose me?" ”

An Yi put away his smile and sighed: "Let's be honest with you, where does Lao Tzu have the qualifications to pick people?" What's more, they are all my brothers in this issue, how can you let me choose? You, like the other eleven senior brothers, were all recommended by the commanders of our division, Director He of the military department, and Mr. Yu of the headquarters.

Except for the division seat, the chief of staff, and a few other regular officers transferred by Deputy Division Commander Chiang, all the twelve division brothers were arranged to serve as company deputy and instructor, and you were transferred to the regular officer establishment at one time, and the other regiments are estimated not to be so soon. As for you, I was personally recommended to me by Chief Zhang Zhizhong, so I pay special attention to it, because Chief Zhang is also my mentor, and I can trust you in his eyes.

It will be good for you to let you go to Chen Zhibiao's third battalion engineer company to squat for a year and a half, but don't underestimate the engineers, you will know after a few months that you can be a company commander in our engineer company, and you will definitely be qualified to be the battalion commander of other regiments, because our engineer company is different from other armies, forcing you to calculate manpower and material resources all day long, and you have to find a way to save your own life and that of your brothers when you are taking care of everything.

Ji Nan, Hu Zi, Chen Zhibiao, Chen Kan, Xia Jian, Yang Fei, and Mu Recall are all here like this, and you should be able to see it in the past few days when you go to the Third Battalion, the engineer company of the Third Battalion brought out by Chen Zhibiao can fight and fight, has first-class professional skills, and its military quality is also above the other two infantry companies, and the machine gun company composed of veterans has to fight.

Think about it, if you were to lead a company out to fight, which of the three battalions would you choose? ”

Huang Hanqian suddenly realized: "I understand, I began to see that the regiment headquarters did not set up operations, politics and other staff groups, I was still strange, it turned out to be like this, no wonder our group of people were put into the company by you...... I know what I have to do, thank you, Xiao Yi! ”

"What do you thank your brother? After a few more battles, your experience will be deeper, and I have a hunch that if a graduate of the political science department like you does not transfer to the organs under the party department or the local political axe, it will be difficult for him to make any major breakthroughs in the future. Let's do it first, accumulate some military merits and then go to study a military major for a year and a half, and come back to do everything handy and justifiable. An Yi skillfully advised.

Huang Hanqian nodded: "This is a good idea, I will work in this direction." ”

An Yi smiled, turned his head to Yin Jinan, who entered the door, and said, "Han Qian came to look for you, and you haven't eaten yet." ”

Yin Jinan said hello with a smile, and then said: "I didn't eat it either, Lao Ye's Jiangsu and Zhejiang dishes are too light, I'm not used to it." Let's go, Han Qian, let's go to the cooking class to see what is left, and talk while eating. ”

An Yi nodded to the saluting Huang Hanqian, got up after smoking a cigarette and walked to the next door, saw Xiao Langzhong sitting next to Shen Xiangfeng's bed and chatting lively, coughed lightly and walked to the bed, smiled as usual and asked, "How do you feel today?" ”

Shen Xiangfeng looked at An Yi quietly, and there was no joy or sorrow on his face: "It's much better, I can go to the thatched house with the wall in the early morning, thank you!" ”

"No thanks, I'm happy to see you recover so quickly...... Xiao Langzhong, if there is no good medicine in the group, you can ride into the city, and the Chinese medicine in several large pharmacies around Nanchang Youmin Temple is quite complete. After An Yi finished speaking, he nodded to Shen Xiangfeng and turned to leave.

Shen Xiangfeng sat up slowly, took the teacup handed by Xiao Langzhong and took a sip: "Your head is usually like this?" ”

"Our regiment commander is good to everyone, but there is also a difference, he is unrestrained and even scolds his mother to his brothers, but he is very polite to outsiders, polite, and it is completely different when he fights, he can use the best way to achieve victory with the lowest casualties, and he always rushes to the front and never retreats when encountering tough battles, one day and three meals in addition to socializing and the same as the brothers, no one in the whole regiment disobeys him, not a formal occasion The brothers call our regiment commander the boss, and the commanders from the military academy call him his name or call him Xiaoyi in private, He is also happy, he never has an opinion, let alone a fight. ”

Xiao Langzhong took the teacup in Shen Xiangfeng's hand and put it on the table aside.

Shen Xiangfeng, whose head was completely swollen and had regained his cold face, frowned slightly: "Mei Sheng, the tiger head only came back last night, and he went out again before dawn today, what are you busy with?" ”

Li Meisheng smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Shen, the younger brother really doesn't know, even if the younger brother knows, he can't tell you, this is military discipline." Brother Shen, you can go home in a few days, the head of the regiment said that our reading force group will soon go to Zhejiang, and the younger brother is in the army, I'm afraid I can't help Brother Shen.

In fact, Brother Shen, your medical skills are a hundred times better than that of the younger brother, and an ordinary muscle-building extract is only added to adjust the compatibility with one medicine, which is a hundred times more wonderful than the ancestral recipe of my Li family, so that the younger brother will benefit for life...... Brother Shen, you can sleep for a while, the younger brother has gone to the east courtyard in front to change the dressing for the brothers. ”

Shen Xiangfeng watched Xiao Langzhong leave, slowly lay down and closed his eyes, the experience of half a month and An Yi's smile, and even every sentence lingered in his mind.
