"Yes!" The twelve members of the fourth squad, plus Liu Siyuan, stood up abruptly and replied in a loud voice.

Looking at the twenty-six pairs of confident eyes, Liu Tianshu felt a burst of excitement in his heart. He raised his hand, pressed it down and said, "Okay, since we are all confident in completing the task, I believe that our fourth squad will definitely become the best and most effective team, and every member of our fourth squad will definitely become the bravest and strongest fighting team." Next, I would like to talk about the responsibilities of each member. ”

Subsequently, Liu Tianshu carried out a specific division of labor for the twelve members of the squad according to the needs of the battle according to his own ideas.

Shi Qiang was originally a hunter, not only agile, but also very clever, so he took Long Hai and Cheng Zhiguo as the top soldiers of the team, responsible for reconnaissance and taking the lead, and Hao Mengxuan took Chen Yuanbiao and Hou Yunlong to be responsible for the break. Lao Balu Li Shu, together with Xu Cheng, Li Zuyun and Zheng Dajian, who were also Lao Balu, served as the fire team, responsible for assault and fire support. As for Geng Tianlong and Pang Ning, they were arranged by Liu Tianshu to protect Liu Siyuan and act with him.

After listening to Liu Tianshu's division of labor, Liu Siyuan said dissatisfiedly: "Captain Liu, I am a revolutionary soldier and I don't need the protection of others, just give me a gun." ”

"Comrade Liu Siyuan, I asked Geng Tianlong and Pang Ning to be in a group with you, not only to protect you, you should know that we went to Qingyan Town this time, not to fight against the little devils, but to mobilize the masses to propagate anti-Japanese resistance, you know more about the party's theory and policy than we do, this matter is naturally your protagonist, and they follow you to act together, but also for the needs of work." Liu Tianshu said solemnly.

Although his team was sent to work in the area of Qingyan Town this time, and there was no combat mission, Liu Tianshu did not dare to be careless, you must know that with the full-scale outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, since the devils attacked Shanxi with all their might, various situations could occur at any time, and without a team with strong combat effectiveness, he did not dare to guarantee that he could complete the tasks assigned by his superiors.

"You are a top student of Yanda, I can't talk about you." Liu Siyuan pouted and said no more.

On the first day of the next day, Liu Tianshu was in their small courtyard, first of all, the members of the entire squad were trained in reconnaissance, and after speaking, he looked at everyone and said with some regret: "I knew that the little devil was going to start a war, and I should have learned Japanese in college, alas, if the person in charge of reconnaissance knows Japanese, then there will be one more chance of winning against the devil in the future." ”

"Japanese? Report to the captain, I studied Japanese at university, and although I am not proficient, I should have no problem with simple conversations. As soon as Liu Tianshu's words fell, Liu Siyuan, who was sitting below with a notebook and recording carefully, suddenly stood up and said loudly.

"Do you know Japanese?" Liu Tianshu suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Of course, why, the captain doesn't believe it?" Liu Siyuan said mischievously.

The rest of the team looked at them and laughed silently.

Liu Tianshu's face was slightly red by her rhetorical question, and he said a little crampedly: "What's the matter, I heard the instructor say, you are a college student from Beiping, you participated in the revolution in college, and you are an old revolutionary with rich experience in struggle and work experience." ”

Liu Tianshu directly lifted out what Tang Qing said when he introduced him.

Hearing his words, Liu Siyuan's face also turned slightly red, but Liu Tianshu immediately asked her to speak a few words of Japanese to everyone, and found that she spoke Japanese very fluently.

Seeing Liu Siyuan's Japanese blurted out, Liu Tianshu was overjoyed. Now, his team has a free Japanese teacher. If all of his team members are proficient in Japanese, they will definitely have a better chance of winning in future battles.

"Yes, from now on, Comrade Liu Siyuan will be the Japanese teacher of our team, and everyone tells me that Teacher Liu is good." Liu Tianshu became excited, and his naughty nature was unconsciously revealed.

Those team members were also very good, and immediately followed Liu Tianshu and shouted in unison: "Hello Teacher Liu!" ”

Two of them also stood up, learning from the apprentice of a young private school, and after standing upright, they bent down ninety degrees to Liu Siyuan, who was so shy that his face was as red as a peach blossom, and made a standard bow.

At this time, Liu Siyuan was even more at a loss, but fortunately, after Liu Tianshu saw everyone laughing, he immediately put on his face and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, Comrade Liu Siyuan will be our teacher in the future, if anyone dares not to listen to Teacher Liu and not study seriously, I will kick my ass." Of course, if Mr. Liu punishes you for skipping meals, I will also resolutely support it. ”

"Kick ass? Captain, look at your thin body, don't flash your waist. Xu Cheng, who was tall and burly, whispered to the side with a hint of sarcasm on his face.

Although Liu Tianshu dared to fight with devils in that small village, Xu Cheng, who was born in the old Red Army, still felt that this little white face was not a big deal except for being a little smart.

When it comes to fighting, he Xu Cheng doesn't say that he has been on the battlefield for a long time, but he can be regarded as experienced in a hundred battles, and the scars on his body are probably more than Liu Tianshu's age. He couldn't understand why Captain Du and the instructor wanted a student who had just come out of school to serve as the leader of the fourth squad.

Is it because he has been reading for a few more days than himself?

You know, as soon as you go to the battlefield, the enemy will not obediently raise your hand and surrender just because you have read more books than him and know a few ABCs.

As for the instructor who said that this surnamed Liu had fought a few battles with devils and killed many devils, it was not true how he looked at it or how he listened to it.

"Hehe, it seems that Comrade Xu Cheng's body is much stronger than mine." Liu Tianshu couldn't hear Xu Cheng's disbelief, and suddenly said with a smile.

"Captain, I'm just telling the truth. To be honest, it is better than literacy and culture, I Xu Chengzi should be willing to bow down, but when it comes to war, I Xu Chengke has never been ambiguous, Li Shu, do you say yes. Xu Cheng said, and winked at Li Shu.

"Captain, don't listen to this kid, this kid is just a stunned young man, he has brute strength, he thinks he is invincible in the world, and I will teach him a good lesson later." Li Shu seemed to be helping Liu Tianshu on the surface, but in fact, everyone could see that in his eyes.

A few of them were unconvinced that Liu Tianshu had just joined the guerrillas and became the captain of the squad.

"I love to hear Li Shu's words, just having a body of strength is not enough, the little devil is more ruthless, who is more fierce, who is more skillful, Xu Cheng, you have to learn more from Li Shu in the future." Liu Tianshu looked at Xu Chengxi and said.

Although he had only just joined the army, he knew that the army had always advocated force, and whoever was stronger had more say, and if he wanted to establish his prestige in this squad, he would have to beat anyone who dared to challenge him directly.

"Captain, just playing lipsticks, the devil will not take the initiative to surrender, otherwise, let's compare and compare, don't worry, although I am a rough person, I will be measured. Besides, you're my captain, and I won't really hurt you anyway. When Xu Cheng heard Liu Tianshu's words, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he was beating a cow.

It's just that he has participated in the revolution for many years, and although he is a little reckless, he is not a person who does not know the importance of it.

"Do you really want to compete with me?" Liu Tianshu smiled secretly in his heart, stared at him with both eyes, and said in his mouth.

Seeing Liu Tianshu's eyes, Xu Cheng panicked for no reason, but he didn't believe that Liu Tianshu would be stronger than himself.

"I'm afraid that Captain Liu won't dare."

"Okay, since Comrade Xu Cheng has this wish, I, as the captain, should naturally be satisfied. In this way, we will compare what you want, but one thing to make clear, if I lose, you are allowed to choose the task in the future, if I win by luck, then I didn't say it, what I said in the future, for you, it is a holy decree, and you must obey it unconditionally, I don't know what you want? Liu Tianshu glanced at Li Cheng and said.

Hearing Liu Tianshu's words, Xu Cheng immediately said loudly: "Okay, let's compete with each other." ”

As a veteran soldier, Xu Cheng was a master of stabbing in his original army, and you must know that the Communist Party's troops pay attention to bayonets, and white-edged fighting techniques have always been the focus of troop training.

After the two decided to fight in the game, Liu Tianshu, in order to avoid accidental injury, proposed to wrap a wooden stick around the cloth and stain it with lime to compete, but Xu Cheng flatly refused, he said that he was confident in his skills, and asked the captain not to be afraid, he would not really hurt him.

Xu Cheng said this, Liu Tianshu naturally didn't want to insist anymore, so he had to nod and agree.

Xu Cheng, a member of the fourth squad, was going to compete with the captain Liu Tianshu, and the news quickly spread in the station. Before the two of them could start, Du Qingdong, Tang Qing and Tang Jiyuan came to their courtyard, and there were many guerrillas who came with them.

For a while, the entire courtyard was crowded with people, and the venue for the final competition was changed to an empty dam in the middle of the village.

Seeing that many villagers also came to watch, Tang Jiyuan whispered to Liu Tianshu with concern: "Tianshu, are you sure of winning?" I've heard that Xu Cheng in your squad has the best bayonet fighting skills in the entire guerrilla group, and according to Captain Du, there are at least twenty enemies who died under his bayonet. Otherwise, I'll think about canceling it. ”

Liu Tianshu looked at the excited people around him, as well as Du Qingdong, Tang Qing and others who were standing on the side with great interest, shook his head and said: "Ji Yuan, it's too late, look around, if I give up the competition at this time, you say, how can I mix in the guerrillas in the future." ”

Tang Jiyuan also knew that it was unrealistic to let Liu Tianshu withdraw from the competition at this time, he sighed in his heart and said worriedly: "Tianshu, let it be fate." ”

Liu Tianshu smiled lightly, saw that Xu Cheng had relaxed his muscles in the center of the competition venue, and lifted the 38 big cover with a bayonet on the side, and walked towards the field with a calm face.

In this competition, at Xu Cheng's suggestion, the two did not choose the official rifle, but chose the Japanese army's standard weapon, the 38 big cover.
