Zhang Yunfei saw that the two guards of the Eighth Route Army had arrived at the right time, and said with a smile on his horse: "Okay, let's set off for the headquarters office immediately." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yunfei said warmly to Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo: "Uncle, auntie, thank you for your hospitality." ”

When Uncle Guo and Aunt Guo saw that Zhang Yunfei was about to leave, the two of them immediately got up, smiled and said in unison: "Comrade Zhang, you are too polite, you are the guest of the deputy commander-in-chief, that is, our guest, we should be warm." ”

Zhang Yunfei was about to leave, and when he saw Zhang Yunfei get up, Xiao Pepper next to him hurriedly blurted out: "Hey, are you still coming to our house at night?" ”

After speaking, Guo Xiang found that this seemed to be wrong, his parents were looking at him, and in an instant, his face turned red. At this time, Guo Xiang was thinking in his heart, what was wrong with him, why did he suddenly mind his departure so much? Are you afraid that you won't see him in the future?

Also, why do those guards of the Eighth Route Army call him the chief? Is it really a chief to be so young? Isn't he from the Kuomintang? At this time, Guo Xiang was sitting there thinking wildly, not realizing that Zhang Yunfei had already walked farther and farther accompanied by two guards of the Eighth Route Army.

Zhang Yunfei came to the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, everyone was already in the command hall of the Eighth Route Army, and the deputy commander-in-chief saw Zhang Yunfei walk in, and immediately smiled and said: "Comrade Yunfei, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly when he heard this: "Mr. Peng, thank you for your concern, I slept quite well yesterday." ”

Hearing this, the deputy commander-in-chief nodded happily, and then said, "Comrade Yunfei, then today we will go to the headquarters guard regiment to have a look." ”

"No problem, let's do what we agreed yesterday!" Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly.

The deputy commander-in-chief led everyone, a group of dozens of people, slowly out of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, at the door of the headquarters office, dozens of war horses had already been prepared, and about a platoon of soldiers were ready to go.

Everyone rode on war horses, and a group of nearly 100 people went to Yangcun a few kilometers away, and on horseback, the deputy commander-in-chief kept introducing the situation of this guard regiment to Zhang Yunfei.

This guard regiment is also a reinforced regiment with all armaments, with more than 2,000 people in the regiment, mainly responsible for the security work of the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the training of the guard regiment is all carried out in accordance with the training outline previously compiled by Zhang Yunfei, and its combat effectiveness should be relatively strong.

More than a year ago, Zhang Yunfei once gave the commander-in-chief the training manual he had written, and when he saw this thick manual, the commander-in-chief at that time highly praised it, and according to Zhang Yunfei's request, it was popularized throughout the Eighth Route Army.

A group of people, riding a war horse, did not long come to Yang Village, at the entrance of the village, there are a lot of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army have been greeting, seeing Zhang Yunfei and the deputy commander-in-chief arrived, more than a dozen soldiers of the Eighth Route Army at the entrance of the village, walked over quickly, everyone saw that they were almost at the entrance of the village, and everyone dismounted.

The Eighth Route Army at the entrance of the village came to Zhang Yunfei and the deputy commander-in-chief, and a leading Eighth Route Army saluted loudly: "Hello chief, welcome to visit and guide our guard regiment." ”

The deputy commander-in-chief returned a military salute and introduced to Zhang Yunfei: "This is the head of our guard regiment Qin. ”

Seeing that the deputy commander-in-chief said this, the head of the guard regiment Qin knew that the young man in front of him was Zhang Yunfei, so he saluted loudly: "Commander-in-chief Zhang is good!" ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled slightly and returned a military salute.

At this time, the deputy commander-in-chief said: "Comrade Yunfei, let's go directly to the garrison of the guard regiment, and we won't go to the headquarters of the guard regiment in the village, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Yes, let's go directly to the garrison and see how the fighters are training." Zhang Yunfei said immediately.

"Commander Qin, let's go directly to the station of the first battalion." The deputy commander-in-chief immediately said to the head of the guard regiment Qin.

Under the leadership of Commander Qin, after a few minutes, everyone came to the first battalion station not far from the village, the first battalion station was built against the mountain, covering a fairly large area, and the center was a large training ground, which was estimated to be a few points larger than a football field.

On the training ground, many soldiers are training, and the sound of "standing upright and resting" can be heard from a distance, and on one side of the training ground, there are several rows of barracks, and on the other side of the training ground, at the foot of the far mountain, there is also a shooting range, and many soldiers are also training there, but no gunshots are heard.

Because bullets are too precious to the Eighth Route Army, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are often said to shoot in training, mainly to practice shooting posture, aiming and other actions, at most empty gun aiming and shooting, as for live shooting practice, generally only have opportunities on the battlefield, the battlefield is the soldiers' live shooting training ground.

Because of this, the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army often suffer more losses in the counter-shooting when they encounter the little devils on the battlefield, and the little devils usually conduct live-fire training and their marksmanship is relatively accurate, while the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army suffer more in the counter-shooting because they usually shoot very little live ammunition.

Knowing very well that the little devils are well-trained and have accurate marksmanship, Zhang Yunfei spent a lot of effort to compile a training syllabus for the regular training of his own troops, and the soldiers of the 36th Group Army usually shoot with live ammunition training, not only practicing shooting at fixed targets, but also shooting training at moving targets, 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, and so on.

There are a variety of training methods, and the training postures are also varied, before the soldiers go to the battlefield, they generally shoot a large number of bullets, and the soldiers of the 36th Group Army are not bad at marksmanship, and the soldiers are equipped with AK-47 assault rifles.

In the battle with the little devils, because of their accurate marksmanship, advanced weapons, and sufficient ammunition, the soldiers often have an overwhelming advantage, especially some veterans of the 36th Group Army, who have fought a lot of guns, and have rich experience on the battlefield, they often do not aim in battle, and they basically do not aim at targets one or two hundred meters away, and basically raise their hands to shoot, and bullets bite the flesh.

Zhang Yunfei watched the shooting training of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army from a distance, basically shooting empty guns, and Zhang Yunfei was emotional.

Not long after, everyone came to the edge of the training ground, and a soldier of the Eighth Route Army trotted over all the way and reported loudly: "Hello leaders, the first battalion of the headquarters guard regiment is conducting routine military training, please give instructions to the chief." ”

"Keep training!" The deputy commander-in-chief immediately said.

After speaking, the deputy commander-in-chief took Zhang Yunfei and others, and slowly walked towards the training ground, some of the training soldiers, seeing the deputy commander-in-chief with a group of dozens of people, slowly walking, the hearts of the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were very happy and excited, but the training was still going on as usual, and some soldiers could only use the corner of their eyes to quietly observe the deputy commander-in-chief and Zhang Yunfei not far away.

The deputy commander-in-chief looked at the soldiers who were training in the field with satisfaction, and said happily to Zhang Yunfei: "Comrade Yunfei, over the past year, our guard regiment has been training in accordance with the training manual you have written. ”

After speaking, the deputy commander-in-chief looked proud, it seemed that he was quite satisfied with the situation of this guard regiment, and Zhang Yunfei next to him also looked at the soldiers who were training with great interest, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although these soldiers of the Eighth Route Army are well trained, they are still a step behind their own 36th Group Army, but they can have this effect, Zhang Yunfei also thinks it is good, in terms of this regiment alone, in terms of military level, according to Zhang Yunfei's professional vision, the military level of this guard regiment is not much worse than that of the little devil, and the difference may only be in terms of weapons and equipment.

After looking at it for a while, Zhang Yunfei still said to the deputy commander-in-chief with a smile on his face next to him: "Mr. Peng, this regiment is really good, and the queue training is also clear, we might as well go to the shooting range again." ”

After listening to Zhang Yunfei's praise, the deputy commander-in-chief, who was in a good mood, said: "Okay, then let's go to the shooting range to have a look." After speaking, the deputy commander-in-chief took Zhang Yunfei and his party to the shooting range in the distance.

With the departure of Zhang Yunfei and others, some of the Eighth Route Army on the training ground also happened to rest on the spot, and some soldiers of the Eighth Route Army sitting on the ground immediately started chatting.

"Platoon commander, who are those people? The deputy commander-in-chief and the regimental commander were personally accompanied. A soldier of the Eighth Route Army said.

The platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army looked at Zhang Yunfei and the others who were gradually moving away, and then said: "I think it should be the leaders of the 36th Group Army, and there is a person next to the deputy commander-in-chief I know, and that is our former deputy director Deng of the Political Department. ”

Hearing this, many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army next to them suddenly realized, and immediately, another soldier of the Eighth Route Army said: "Platoon commander, who is the young chief next to the deputy commander-in-chief, their military uniforms are so beautiful." ”

The platoon commander also felt that this young commander was more familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, and at this time, the commander of the first battalion of the guard regiment happened to pass by here, and when he heard the discussion of his soldiers, he immediately said solemnly: "Comrades, the deputy commander-in-chief is accompanied by Commander-in-Chief Zhang of the 36th Group Army. ”

Hearing this, many soldiers of the Eighth Route Army were excited, this was actually Commander-in-Chief Zhang, the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army just now, seeing that it was Commander-in-Chief Zhang, immediately turned his head to look at Zhang Yunfei in the distance, the platoon commander of the Eighth Route Army seemed to be very excited, his face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were full of eagerness.
