"Please give me a few minutes, we officers have moved to a better place to enjoy the resort-style life, I have some things that I need to explain to the people below."

No one could refuse Xie Jinyuan's request, and in fact, Xie Jinyuan was able to agree to such an unreasonable request put forward by the Ministry of Industry and Bureau, and did not let the matter evolve to the point of using violence to solve it again, which was greatly beyond Major Ma Fei's expectations. According to Xie Jinyuan's request, after inviting Ma Lan over alone, Major Ma Fei exited the room without knowing the opportunity, and reached out to help them close the door.

Xie Jinyuan and Ma Lan didn't speak, they stared at each other quietly, listening to each other's breathing and powerful heartbeat, feeling a strange calm, until Major Ma Fei's footsteps slowly paced away, Xie Jinyuan said in a low voice: "After I leave, the lives of the entire battalion of brothers will be in your hands!" ”

"Yes!"

Facing Xie Jinyuan's faintly anxious eyes, Ma Lan said in a deep voice: "Before you find a better candidate or I die, I will definitely do my best to complete the task you assigned to me!" ”

"Although you are great, you are definitely the best soldier, but after all, everyone does not belong to the same system, and suddenly let a woman run the barracks, coupled with this series of events that have happened recently, it is likely that under the panic of the people, the entire barracks has become irritable and difficult to tame. Yu Decai, the platoon commander of the third platoon of the first company, was not searched by the White Russian soldiers, you can manage the soldiers of the whole battalion through him, it is easier for everyone to accept familiar faces, and with his help, you can get twice the result with half the effort no matter what you do. ”

Speaking of this, Xie Jinyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and he said in a low voice: "Yu Decai is a stunned young man who is not afraid of heaven and earth, and he can be regarded as a brave general on the battlefield, but wanting to expect him to deal with all kinds of emergencies is tantamount to playing the piano to a cow." Remember, if you want to use such a person, you must convince him in his strongest and proudest area, let him see the gap between you clearly, and he will be honest and obedient. But you can't make a fool of him in public, otherwise, it will only backfire! As for how to do it, it's up to you! ”

Malan nodded vigorously.

"As for Lei Zhen, he is still young, and he is too short when he enters the barracks, and he won't even fit in with everyone, but he has a flexible mind and can study hard, although his plan is not perfect this time, but it can be called both offensive and defensive. If possible, give him as much work as he can, and let him grow slowly in practice. If you can't make up your mind about something, you can also talk to him, sometimes when the commander is facing a predicament, he needs the ruthlessness of Lei Zhen's body to push hard in the back! ”

"Also, these are extraordinary times, and you must do a good job of guarding to prevent the ronins instructed by the military from sneaking into the barracks and attacking us. You, Lei Zhen and Wei Cheng can all enter and leave the barracks freely, during this period of time, if it is not necessary, try not to take a step out of the barracks, so as not to be broken by the enemy one by one when they find an opportunity. ”

After explaining everything, Xie Jinyuan asked, "Do you have any questions?" ”

"Yes!"

Ma Lan stared at Xie Jinyuan and said, "The Xie Jinyuan I know is both offensive and defensive, and he is even more determined before acting, and he never fights uncertain battles. You also said that Lei Zhen is still young, and the plan he made this time was not perfect, that is, because his plan was too impulsive and radical, and the contradiction between the lonely military camp and the Ministry of Industry Bureau was completely intensified, which would have evolved into such an ending. I think that in the face of the pressing pressure of the military behind the Ministry of Industry, you should have already had a more feasible and easier plan for us to get through the difficulties, right? ”

Xie Jinyuan was slightly silent, then nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"What I want to know is that you obviously have a better plan, you know that if you adopt Lei Zhen's plan, it is likely to cost the entire military camp blood, why did you still accept that immature suggestion?"

Xie Jinyuan suddenly asked, "Ma Lan, have you ever seen Lei Zhen crying?" ”

Ma Lan shook her head without thinking, she could hardly imagine what it was like for a man like Lei Zhen to cry.

"I've seen it, just yesterday, and he cried."

Facing Ma Lan's surprised eyes, Xie Jinyuan said softly: "In order to protect that national flag, four of us died under bayonets and sticks. Before burying them, Lei Zhen held one of the corpses and sat on the ground for a long time. Although he covered it up well and kept his back to us, I knew he was crying. ”

"He clearly knows that those four brothers paid with their lives because of his overly radical plan."

Speaking of this, Xie Jinyuan took a deep breath and said, "I just want Lei Zhen to understand that as a commander, you must think twice before making any decisions!" Usually we conduct sand table simulation exercises, he can be surprisingly victorious, he can abandon chess pieces to attract the enemy's attention for the victory of the overall battle situation, but when we really command a battle, what we put on the sand table is a living human life! Without this sense of mission with a heavy burden, without experiencing the baptism of blood, without tasting the morality of being a human being and the pursuit of victory in the face of corpses all over the ground, the two absolutely contradictory feelings repeatedly tormented, and learning to be strong from them, he will never be able to get rid of the exaggeration of talking on paper and become a real commander! ”

Ma Lan was really stunned, and it wasn't until this time that she really understood why Xie Jinyuan gambled on the fate and future of the entire lonely army camp and adopted Lei Zhen's suggestion! If the rise of a famous general must step on layers of corpses and climb up step by step, Xie Jinyuan, the master, regards himself as the stepping stone at the beginning of the thunderstorm!

"Don't think that I dote on him, so I will accompany Lei Zhen to go crazy!" Xie Jinyuan's voice was hoarse, "Look at us, we are trapped here, and no one knows how long it will take for us to leave this ghost place." We insist on practicing here every day, and our lone military camp is called the 'Little Chongqing City' of Shanghai by the Chinese people, and we are regarded by everyone as the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War. But in essence, aren't we just a group of prisoners who have been disarmed, can't even go out of the gate, have to apply, apply, and apply again to raise the national flag, and finally have to fight to the death? Aren't we just a stupid guy who sticks ourselves here for the sake of the face of the party and the state and for the so-called righteousness, obviously suffocating to death in our hearts, but still wants to slap a swollen face and become fat, put on a strong face, and squeeze out a little bit of a calm smile? ! ”

"We've been here for so long, long enough that we've forgotten a lot of what we are like in the military. We are like a lion that has been slowly worn away from our blood and wild surname, and we are even accustomed to this kind of life of being imprisoned, forced by the military step by step, and can only passively cope with it. If we use my plan, we can get through this difficult time safely, but it is absolutely impossible to stab the enemy with a backhand like the plan proposed by Lei Zhen! At that time, I really understood that Lei Zhen was a man who would never be tamed no matter how long he was locked up or tortured, and would launch a deadly attack on the enemy as long as he found an opportunity...... Wolf! ”

Xie Jinyuan stared at Ma Lan and said word by word: "So I accepted Lei Zhen's plan, because I know that in the face of a mad dog like Yu Ben who can't be fed at all, what Confucius and Mencius does, what kind of demeanor and humility and forbearance of a great country, it is a big joke, and the only way we can defeat the mad dog is to make ourselves more ruthless and warlike wolves than them!" If I Xie Jinyuan is destined to act as a so-called hero in this lonely army camp in this lonely army camp in my life, then I would rather choose Lei Zhen's suggestion and rise up to resist and die a glorious death in the face of my own step-by-step approach! At that time, even if I die, I can smile Jiuquan, because I know that my apprentice Lei Zhen will take my love, my hatred, my unfinished mission and wishes, and all the feelings accumulated by more than 300 brothers in our entire military camp in this ghost place, and go back to the battlefield to fight to the death against the invaders! ”

There was a soft knock outside the door, it was Major Ma Fei who had returned.

"Captain Xie, it's almost time, it's time for us to go."

Looking at Major Ma Fei, who was still a little polite in the face of himself, Xie Jinyuan raised his head, and he suddenly let out a long sigh: "There are only more than 300 people in our barracks, even if we add the whole of Shanghai to support us and help our people, it is only a million people, but we want to fight against a country like Yueben, how can we be undefeated?" Without a strong country and a strong nation to support us, how can we be undefeated?! ”

Seeing Xie Jinyuan and Ma Fei walk out of the room, listening to the chaotic footsteps, and an irrepressible noise and quarrel, Ma Lan let out a deep sulk. Just like Xie Jinyuan said, without a strong country and a strong nation to support, in the face of the aggressiveness of the military, even if they quarrel, even if they resist, even if they take up arms again and resist desperately?

What can they get back in exchange for nothing but blood?

Ma Lan leaned her back against the wall, she turned her head, and whispered to a window next to her that was not closed: "If you really care about him, always remember what he said!" ”

No one responded to Malan's words, the room was empty, and certainly no one responded to what Malan said.

But right next to the window outside this room, Lei Zhen, who had been standing there against the wall, kept his lips trembling. As he inhaled gently, tears poured out of his eyes one after another.
