The early morning of autumn in the south is still so hot, but the field of the Whampoa Military Academy is much hotter than normal, dozens of instructors in neat military uniforms and command knives on their waists are scattered all over the field, a pair of stern eyes are staring at every student who runs in front of them, and more than 1,000 of the three formal students are in a neat formation under the leadership of their respective captains.

More than 1,300 new cadets of the fourth phase who have just entered the military academy have been divided into two regiments of enlisted students; because there are still more than 2,000 candidates from all over the country who have not been able to arrange physical examinations and are still staying in various places in Guangzhou City, the current enrollment work has not yet ended, and the first four batches of admitted students have been temporarily organized into 11 companies to begin intense training after entering the school, and the more than 1,000 enlisted students who are not yet qualified to carry guns have all been issued with new military uniforms.

In front of a small two-story building on the edge of the field, one hundred and twenty agile old students were busy, some were checking their equipment, some were carefully reading the documents that had just been sent to them, and some were gathering in twos and threes to talk softly, all waiting for the arrival of the director and instructors.

An Yi sat alone under the tree, checked the leggings, picked up the red armband placed on the stone bar and put it on his left arm, took off the paper clip on the armband to connect the armband and the military uniform together, turned his arm twice, and looked at the two white fonts on the top "on duty" and shook his head slightly.

To tell the truth, An Yi was very reluctant to participate in this political propaganda team, if he could choose, he would rather sweat and run in circles on the field with all the enlisted students, rather than distribute leaflets in the crossroads and squares in the city to mobilize the masses, this kind of propaganda always reminded him of advertising campaigns selling fake drugs.

"Hello! I don't seem to have seen you, you stayed in school in the second phase? Why don't you go to the preparation meeting hosted by Director Zhou? A middle-sized old student with slightly smaller eyes but a vigorous and heroic spirit came to An Yi's side, and his official accent was rich in Fujian.

An Yi hurriedly stood up: "Hello, my name is An Yi, and I am a freshman in the fourth phase who just entered the school yesterday afternoon, please take care of me!" ”

"Oops! Are you the one An Yi? Great, we also said to find time to go to the enlistment regiment to see how you look, I didn't expect to see you as a combat hero so soon, haha...... My name is Zheng Huaruo, a member of the third phase of the artillery department, and I also serve as the acting political instructor of the team. ”

Zheng Huaruo generously stretched out his hand to An Yi, grabbed An Yi's hand and held it tightly, but turned his head to the side and called out to his companion loudly: "Brother Seagull, Brother Kai, come here, I will introduce you to a junior brother." ”

Two young men, one tall and one short, fully armed and wearing military police armbands, came over curiously, and Zheng Huaruo also enthusiastically took An Yi's hand and introduced it to his companions:

"Look, this is the Longyan Cave battle hero An Yi who won a special award introduced in the school newspaper, the fourth phase, he just entered the school yesterday afternoon, coincidentally, right? Ha ha...... Brother An Yi, this high-nosed man is called Dai Anlan, his scientific name is Bingyang, the word seagull, and he is Wuwei in Anhui; This Shi Jueshi Weikai is from Guilin, Guangxi, and they are all high-achieving students of our third phase, and today they went to the city to carry out their tasks together with the gendarmerie team and our propaganda team composed of dozens of excellent students in the infantry and riding courses. ”

An Yi smiled and shook hands with the two amiable seniors, and the sentence in his mouth, please take care of it.

Dai Anlan and Shi Jue obviously have a good impression of An Yi, Dai Anlan pointed to An Yi's military uniform, and said with a smile: "You are tall, you are very energetic to wear, and you play leggings beautifully, when I first came, I practiced hard for a week to learn how to play leggings, was it taught to you by those senior brothers in the first issue?" ”

As soon as An Yi heard it, he knew that the matter between himself and the gang of cattle in the first phase was estimated to spread all over the campus, so he smiled humbly: "I only learned it last night, and the instructor went to the barracks to teach it by hand." ”

Shi Jue, who was a little shorter and had a delicate round face, praised: "You are really not simple, you learn so fast, Brother An, I guess I am about the same age as you, right?" ”

The two of them each reported their birth years, and An Yi looked at the senior who had just turned eighteen in surprise: "I really didn't expect that I was one year older than you." ”

"Don't look at him young, he is the most top-notch among our three students, and he is among the best in all his courses, and he is a famous talent." Zheng Huaruo said with a smile.

A whistle sounded, and the four students who had not had time to say a few more words immediately separated, Zheng Huaruo ordered An Yi to follow him, and one hundred and twenty students quickly formed four rows of horizontal teams, the first two rows were Dai Anlan and others who were fully armed and loaded with guns, and the last two rows were more than 50 people such as Zheng Huaruo, who only wore armed belts and hung red armbands.

An Yi stood next to Zheng Huaruo, who was at the head of the third row, and was obviously half a head taller, and his unfamiliar face immediately attracted the attention of seven or eight officials on the steps at the entrance of the small building. An Yi recognized Deputy Director Zhou, who was known as a beautiful man, at a glance, and couldn't help but be slightly nervous, just as Director Zhou's deep and gentle gaze also turned to An Yi's face, he smiled at An Yi, as if he had understood An Yi, Director Shao Lizi next to Deputy Director Zhou, immediately explained loudly the important surnames and precautions of this mission, and enthusiastically encouraged everyone to show the spirit of revolutionary soldiers.

"Let's go!"

At the sound of an order, Huang Dao, an officer of the Political Department, and two military law instructors took the lead in leading Dai Anlan and their gendarmerie team to the dock, and Lu Cunren, the head of the propaganda section, and two instructors led Zheng Huaruo and An Yi's propaganda team to follow. An Yi in the team ran with the old cadets without a little panic, perhaps because he put on a military uniform, An Yi's pace seemed very regular, and there was no sense of rustiness shown by the recruits at all, as if he had already practiced as hard as everyone else.

The energetic and neat team passed through the field, attracting everyone's attention, and the freshmen looked enviously at the one hundred and twenty seniors who wore dazzling armbands and drove out of the campus to perform tasks, and the sharp-eyed old students and instructors were very surprised to see the strange An Yi in the team, and they didn't know where the handsome young man who was mixed with the third batch of students came from.

What reassures An Yi is that one of the instructors in front of the team is the engineer instructor who taught him to tie the straps last night, and will serve as the deputy of the fourth engineer brigade. This meticulous but kind instructor seems to like An Yi's intelligence and politeness, and today he can lead the team on duty, at least so that An Yi will not feel too lonely.

Instead of being in the same boat as the propaganda team as Zheng Huaruo said, the temporary gendarmerie jumped on a gray steamboat and quickly headed to the Yuzhu Pier on the other side, moving quickly and looking very secretive. It wasn't long before An Yi learned that the task of the Provisional Gendarmerie was to detain and guard prominent ultra-rightist figures who conspired to plot the "Liao case."

An Yi and his entourage boarded the special traffic boat of the military academy and drove upstream, and after more than half an hour, they docked at the small wharf of fishing boats downstream of Tianzi Wharf, and a group of more than 50 officers and soldiers disembarked and lined up, walked on the road along the river with neat steps, passed through the streets that An Yi was very familiar with when he closed his eyes, and finally came to the first park in the bustling urban area to stop and queue.

Lu Cunren, who served as the temporary propaganda team leader, gave a commanding speech, but the content was to repeat Director Shao's words, and he was soon divided into groups and carried out activities in an orderly manner according to the original plan.

The funny thing is that An Yi, who is the acting leader of the traffic group, only found out at this time that he was a bare-rod commander, and he was the only one who was the team leader. Lu Cunren smiled when he saw An Yi at a loss, and told him to serve as the guard of the venue when he had no tasks.

An Yi, who put on a military uniform for the first time, walked around the park square in style, and was quite surprised to see the high platform of the speech set up early by Guangdong University and the women's normal school, and knew that this was a planned and organized political propaganda activity jointly held by colleges and universities in Guangzhou. With the help and cooperation of friends, only [***] can do it so beautifully.

"Comrade, can you help me out?"

A familiar female voice sounded behind An Yi's side, An Yi turned around and was startled, and hurriedly lowered the brim of the big cap, and stepped forward half a step to help Pan Huiqin hold a stack of leaflets in his arms, who knew that the sharp-eyed Pan Huiqin immediately recognized An Yi, opened his seductive mouth in surprise to reveal his white teeth, and stared at An Yi's face with wide eyes.

An Yi coughed, picked up most of the flyers in her arms and held them firmly: "Pan Cainu, is it enough to eat so hard?" Say a location, and the little brother will send it over with you. ”

Pan Huiqin shouted happily: "Oh my God! You're too handsome in a military uniform, tell me, the clothes you have on you can't be borrowed, right? Pretending to be a Whampoa soldier, be careful, I called the gendarme. ”

"You're a man...... If you are only allowed to make a revolution, Lao Tzu will not be allowed to pursue progress? An Yi's old mistake has been committed again, and he has been serious for a few hours after putting on his military uniform, and now his original form is revealed.

Pan Huiqin glared at him unhappily: "I hate it to death, it's still the virtue of being a hanger, go!" Bring the flyer to the back of the podium with me, Sister Hui Shu is also there, I want to ask the sisters to come and see how you look in military uniform, I think Sister Hui Shu must be surprised to death, hehe...... Tell me, when did you enter Whampoa? ”

An Yi walked beside her with a leaflet and replied in a low voice: "I just got in, I entered the school yesterday afternoon, and I was sent out to engage in propaganda today, to be honest, I don't know anything about political propaganda, and I am not interested in it at all, I don't know what the chiefs think." ”

"Stop!"

Pan Huiqin stopped angrily: "Why is your consciousness so low? If you are still a Whampoa soldier, and you don't have the ideological sentiments of a revolutionary soldier, you will lose your way and be very dangerous if you continue like this, do you understand? ”

An Yi smiled bitterly: "Beauty, I really don't understand, until now I don't even know the definition of the word revolution, let alone talk about revolution...... Don't look at me so surprised, there are a lot of people next to me, and you will misunderstand it if you see it, oh forget it, since this is the case, please teach the little brother a question, as long as the little brother understands, maybe the mind will suddenly be clear. ”

"You are not allowed to call it a beauty, you always look like a flamboyant hooligan...... Say, what's the problem? I don't believe you're hard to beat me. Pan Huiqin glared at An Yi fiercely.

An Yi asked with sincerity on his face: "I have never been able to understand, what is a revolution?" How to understand the word 'leather'? What is the meaning of 'life'? Whose life is it to resolve? What is the most effective means to change this life? ”

Pan Huiqin, who is usually sharp-tongued, was stunned for a moment, she was so familiar with a word that she had shouted countless times and already felt so simple and natural, after An Yi asked like this, it made her feel confused and dazed like never before......
