-- Extended

Yi Bang looked at the small brick factory in front of him, and he almost wanted to cry, he couldn't have imagined that he was a college student who wanted to come to burn bricks. Yi Bang said to the captain who led him, "Captain, can I not do it here, I want to join the army." ”

The captain smiled and said, "You've been talking all the way, and I told you that working here is also to contribute to the anti-Japanese resistance, why don't you listen." ”

Yi Bang looked at the brick factory emitting black smoke, and really couldn't understand what this had to do with the anti-Japanese resistance.

At this time, the director of the brick factory came out, the director was a gray-haired uncle, it is said that he was the oldest qualified worker in the brick factory, after the Red Party came to Shaanxi, the director here fled to the south, and the remaining workers were elected, and this uncle was elected as the factory director. Looking at this old man in tattered clothes and dark skin, Yi Bang really didn't dare to imagine what he would do here for the rest of his life - he wouldn't have been sold by the Red Party, if he hadn't found out that the factory director had eaten the same food as himself at noon, Yi Bang really wanted to run away.

This uncle's surname is Feng, it is said that he has been working in this brick factory since he was a child, and he has been called by the old brick, the old brick, and his real name has been forgotten. So he simply called Feng Lao Brick, and Feng Lao Brick said to H, "Baby, you can follow me for the next few days, and watch it for yourself for a while." ”

Yi Bang nodded and began to follow Feng Lao Brick, Feng Lao Brick took him to a big kiln, Qian pointed to the big kiln in front of him and said to Yi Bang, "Our brick factory is the industry of the township, we are divided into nine levels according to the level, each level needs to be examined, this is the latest policy, to me like this burns bricks for a lifetime, that is, a six-level kiln worker." ”

Yi Bang asked curiously, "Is there a big difference in treatment between each level?" Feng Lao, you have burned the kiln all your life, why is it only level six? ”

Feng Laozhuan smiled and said, "It's not that I haven't studied yet, I heard the people of the county party committee say that this high-level is not only good technology, but also innovation." will sum up, this kind of thing is just you who have read books, my old man, you will only burn bricks, but I don't burn ordinary bricks. ”

Yi Bang asked, "Is there a difference between this brick?" ”

Feng Lao Brick didn't answer, and led Yi Bang forward and came to an open space, which was full of bricks.

Feng Laozhuan said, "You take a piece and see what is different from your usual one." ”

The brick was pale yellow and heavy to pick up.

Yi Bang picked up a piece and looked at it. He knocked again, shook his head, and said, "It seems that the color and weight are different from ordinary bricks." ”

Feng Lao Brick smiled and said, "That's right, this brick, called refractory brick, is the foundation of all industries, without this brick, any industry is nonsense." ”

As soon as he heard about the industry, Yibang's eyes immediately lit up. Curiously asked, "Old Feng, why is this still related to industry?" ”

Feng Lao Brick said proudly, "Of course, this brick, only two or three people in the whole county will burn it." I'm one of them, this burns bricks, the fire is the first, this depends on the heat. Eyesight is the first, and you can't get out of it without decades of hard work. ”

Yi Bang listened to the Great Khan. Decades, when the time comes, you must be old. Listening to Feng Lao Brick constantly talking about how difficult it is to burn bricks, H interrupted, "Feng Lao, you still haven't said that this has anything to do with industry." ”

Feng Lao Brick Bar sighed and said, "This refractory brick is used for kilns, this kiln is used for steelmaking, and this steel is-"

Before Feng Laozhuan finished speaking, Yi Bang excitedly shouted, "Steel? This brick is used to make steel? ”

Feng Lao Brick smiled and said, "I don't know, the blast furnace of this steel plant has to use good refractory bricks to make it, and with good refractory bricks, you can make a good kiln, and you can make a good kiln."

Yi Bang's ears were too lazy to listen to what Feng Lao Brick was talking about, and his mind was full of what Feng Lao Brick had just said, "Steel Factory, this is used by Iron and Steel Factory, and the Red Party really has a Steel Factory." The excited Yi Bang said, "Old Feng, no, master, can I go to the steel factory?" ”

As soon as he heard this Feng Lao Brick, he frowned and said, "You young people, why do you like to go to that steel factory, isn't it the same as our kiln factory, isn't it all about burning things?" I have four apprentices where they have gone. All of them are like this—"

Yi Bang pulled Feng Lao Brick and said, "Master, do we have a steel factory here?" I want to check it out. ”

Feng Lao Brick smiled, "You will have a chance to know in the future, you, first learn to burn bricks, this refractory brick burns well, and the steel can be practiced well." And we are not only burning refractory bricks, but also ordinary bricks, which are to be used for water, listening to the people in the township, the county is organizing the repair of reservoirs or something, we need our bricks, alas, this year's changes are getting bigger and bigger. ”

Steel, Yi Bang remembered everything described in the documentary, and hurriedly nodded, "Master, please teach me, as long as it can help fight the little devil, I am willing to do it." ”

On the other side, Tian Jie followed the classmates who chose to be soldiers and came to a new camp, and was grouped again after understanding everyone's majors and specialties, because of the geometry and mathematics that he was good at since he was a child, Tian Jie was assigned to a new team, because he has been marching at night, Tian Jie doesn't know where his current position is, but he just looks at the surrounding environment and knows that he still hasn't left in northern Shaanxi.

On this day, suddenly the team changed to a daytime march, and the team traveled all the way west, and Tian Jie finally saw the herdsmen grazing.

"Great, I can't see anyone else along the way, which makes my heart flutter." After seeing the herdsmen, some members of the team immediately became active.

But Tian Jie felt that it was strange there, and it wasn't until the end that he reacted, the people he saw all the way today were all young men, and when he thought about it, he understood that these people were just secret sentinels.

Tian Jie thought to himself, "It's okay, in this case, it means that the destination is about to arrive." ”

Tian Jie soon came to a valley, the valley was very large, and there were many troops guarding outside the valley.

The captain of the team leader said, "Comrades, welcome to the Red Star Artillery School, now follow me to the place where you will live for a while." ”

Tian Jie knew that his class was originally artillery, Tian Jie was secretly happy in his heart, can't the artillery keep hiding behind, it's really great.

The captain of the team led the team members into the valley, only to see rows of wooden houses in the valley, it seems that they have not been established for a long time, and in the middle of the vast playground, you can see a team of soldiers training, and the slogan of training resounded throughout the valley.

When I saw a group of soldiers standing in a military posture. Tian Jie couldn't help frowning and thought, "Didn't you say that you were good at artillery, why do you still have to stand in a military posture, does this have anything to do with **?" ”

Before coming to the wooden house, everyone got their bed number and came to a large wooden house, which was a classroom. After everyone sat down, a soldier in an old military uniform walked in and said, "Hello students, let me introduce myself first, my name is Guo Huaruo, and I am the principal of this artillery school, everyone knows it." Now that the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders are trampling on our land, I hope that you will use your precious time to learn military knowledge, you know, the faster you learn, the better, the sooner you can go to the battlefield, Napoleon of France once said, artillery is the god of war, the better your artillery skills. The more powerful this god of war will be, I hope to see your heroic posture on the battlefield as soon as possible, students, do you have confidence. ”

Everyone shouted, "Yes!! ”

Maybe it's the first day. There was no strict training, but some books were issued first, Tian Jie looked at it, there were seven or eight books such as "Capital" and "The Communist Manifesto", "Primary Artillery Tactics", "Artillery Topography", "Ballistics" and so on.

Tian Jie found that the paper of these books was very good. The printing is also very beautiful, and he can't help but be interested in reading the book the most, but what he doesn't know is that these papers are all A4 paper of later generations. Of course, the quality is much better than the yellow paper of this era.

At this time, another soldier came in, who looked to be in his thirties, with small eyes and a big nose. After greeting Guo Huaruo, he said, "Hello everyone, I am your homeroom teacher, my name is Zhao Zhangcheng, everyone will follow me to learn in the future, today, I will first let you have a perceptual understanding of the cannon, everyone come with me." ”

Saying that, Zhao Zhangcheng took the lead and walked out of the door, and the other students also followed outside, and everyone came to the back of the wooden house, and saw three yellow flags set up about seven or eight hundred meters away, each flag was about a hundred meters away, and several scarecrows were set up around the flags.

I only saw Zhao Zhangcheng and a few other soldiers moving out a mortar. Zhao Zhangcheng smiled and said to everyone, "Everyone is optimistic, let's assume that the flag over there is the position of the little devil." After speaking, I saw Zhao Zhangcheng roll up his sleeves, stretch out his arms straight, raise his thumb, and sing out the direction, elevation, distance and other numbers in a row. Three cannons were fired in a row, and all three cannons hit the flag, and the scarecrow next to the flag was blown to ashes.

Tian Jie's mouth opened wide, stunned, and the other students were silent for a few seconds before applauding violently.

Zhao Zhangcheng said with a smile: "Do you think it's amazing? No, it's just simple calculations and experience, and you can easily do it after you learn it, and although it may be hard to learn, I believe you can do it. And you should have seen that I just used a local method like a finger, and those European and American countries, there are also shelling balloons, ballistic rulers, etc., which can do over-the-horizon strikes, that is, don't have to see the target like I just did, but you can not see the target, and you can hit the target according to the report from the front, which requires a lot of mathematical and physical knowledge and preliminary preparations, I hope that you will give full play to the advantages of your good foundation during this time, and become an excellent artillery as soon as possible, not only to learn mortars, There are also mountain artillery, infantry artillery, etc., you can do anything, and you can do everything. It's not too early, so let's go to dinner with your captain and disband. ”

This face-to-face sensual understanding made all the team members' interest in the cannon burst out at once, and everyone was talking about the cannon on the way to the cafeteria.

The canteen is in a big cave, there are already many students eating in it, Tian Jie took out the lunch box used along the way, lined up to eat, and soon it was his turn, it was not bad, there were two pot helmets, fried pumpkin, fried sausage with winter melon and a bowl of egg drop soup.

Although there are very few sausages and egg drop soup is also very thin, it is already an extremely luxurious meal for people in this era, Tian Jie heard the discussion of the students next to him and knew that his meal could be so rich because of the subsidy in the school, Tian Jie was eating while discussing the shelling with the surrounding classmates.

The next day, everyone was dragged away and began to stand up in a military posture, the instructor pointed at everyone's posture with a bamboo whip from time to time, Tian Jie stood for less than ten minutes and was already sweating profusely and crumbling.

At this time, Zhao Zhangcheng walked over, looked at everyone and said, "What? Can't stand it anymore? It's still early, if you want to practice artillery, let's stand in place first. ”

Tian Jie immediately raised his hand. Zhao Zhangcheng pointed at him and said, "You say." ”

Tian Jie said, "We are learning artillery, why do we need to stand in a military posture? No matter how good this military posture is, it has nothing to do with artillery. ”

Zhao Zhangcheng nodded, looked at everyone and said, "Do you think the same way?" ”

Everyone looked at each other and nodded.

Zhao Zhangcheng said, "Okay, let me explain to you, why do you want to stand in a military posture, and what is the military posture to exercise?" It is a person's willpower, and what does willpower represent on the battlefield? That means who can stand last. ”

Saying that, Zhao Zhangcheng walked to the crowd and continued: "Think about it, the natural enemy of artillery is still artillery, once we start an artillery battle with the enemy, what kind of scene is it? Enemy artillery fire is constantly exploding around you, and you have to calmly calculate the position of the enemy artillery to counterattack. Do you think it takes willpower for something like this? Can you keep fighting with enemy fire all around? ”

"Yes! Absolutely! The crowd replied.

"Really?" Zhao Zhangcheng continued to ask with a smile, and everyone's voices gradually quieted down. Yes, at that critical moment, would you be afraid? Will you be a deserter?

Zhao Zhangcheng continued, "So in order for everyone to stick to it at the critical moment of the battle, this military posture must stand well, the better the military posture stands, the stronger your willpower, and the better your artillery skills will play at the critical moment." Do you understand now? ”

Tian Jie and the others replied loudly: "Understood! ”

Zhao Zhangcheng nodded and said, "Continue to stand in a military posture!" ”

The first day of training was such a continuous basic training, Tian Jie and his classmates dragged their tired bodies back to the dormitory, when a classmate ran in and said, "Have you heard?" I'm going to watch a movie tonight. ”

As soon as Tian Jie heard this, he sat up and said, "Old Gao, don't lie to us. Watching a movie? Really? ”

The old man said, "Who lied to you, you come out and see for yourself, there is a shelf being built on the playground, and it is said that it will be put on time at eight o'clock." It's a new movie, a new movie that no one has ever seen before. ”

Tian Jie has never watched a movie since he left Beiping, and he never thought that he could watch a movie in a barren place like northern Shaanxi. I walked out excitedly, and sure enough, I saw a white cloth on the playground, and several people fiddling with the machine on a set up shelf.

Hey! It's really a movie.

After Tian Jie finished dinner, he was led by the squad leader to the playground, and after everyone sat down according to the instructions, they saw Guo Huaruo standing in front of the white cloth, and Guo Huaruo said after seeing the arrival of people, "Comrades, I believe everyone can also see it, today we are going to watch a movie, to be honest, everyone is catching up with a good time, I have not seen such a new thing in the army for so many years." Because of the central government's concern for our school. Yu, tonight the film team came to our school, everyone's usual training is very hard, but while studying the military, political and ideological education can not be relaxed, everyone should watch this movie with a thinking mood, finally, thank you to the hard work of the film team comrades, let's start. ”

Tian Jie looked at the screen excitedly, and soon the screen appeared, and at the same time, the music also came out, and three big characters - "The White-Haired Girl" appeared in front of everyone, followed by a scene of a large sorghum field, and an uncle sang while working in the field.

Tian Jie was gradually attracted by the movie, when he saw Xi'er and Da Chun getting along for a long time, falling in love, and the two elders agreed to marry them after the autumn, Tian Jie also frowned happily for the two of them, when he saw Huang Shiren who came to force debts during the New Year, Tian Jie slowly clenched his fists, when he saw Yang Bailao commit suicide, Xi'er was defiled, and Da Chun was forced to escape, he was infected by the tragic fate of this family and shed tears, when he saw Xi'er go to the cave to live a hard life and his hair turned white, Tian Jie almost wanted to go up and rescue Na Xi'er by himself. When he saw that Da Chun joined the Eighth Route Army and returned to his hometown, but for the sake of the anti-Japanese united front, he suppressed his anger and prepared to talk to Huang Shiren about asking for rent reduction and interest reduction, Tian Jie couldn't bear to shout, "What rent is still reduced?" What interest is reduced? Kill that Huang Shiren. ”

One word stirred up a thousand waves, and the other angry students who had seen it for a long time also shouted, "That's it, kill him!" Kill it, what are you doing with such a person? ”

Zhao Zhangcheng stood up and shouted, "All quiet, you are soldiers, watch movies quietly." You, your name is Tian Jie, right, after watching the movie, run around the playground three times. ”

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhao Zhangchengcai sat down, and Guo Huaruo next to him said with a smile, "The effect is good, this movie is very good." ”

Zhao Zhangcheng sighed: "I can't wait to kill that Huang Shiren, which of us is not from mud legs?" Don't we see the story of Huang Shiren and Xi'er in this movie? ”

Guo Huaruo nodded and said, "Yes, that's why we want to participate in Geming." ”

The movie is still going on, when they saw the public trial meeting, Huang Shiren was convicted by everyone, Xi'er was rescued by Da Chun, and finally the two were happily together, everyone stood up and applauded.

Guo Huaruo stood in front of the stage again and said, "Everyone has just watched the movie, I believe there are a lot of feelings in their hearts, our students here are not only the old comrades who participated in the Geming, but also the new comrades, everyone's families are all kind, there are poor peasants, rich peasants, businessmen, and workers, I hope that after watching this movie, you will think about some phenomena in our society in addition to daily training, and why these phenomena occur." Okay, now everyone is disbanded, and the squad leaders will lead them back to rest. In addition, Tian Jie - you run for me. ”

Tian Jie was running while thinking about what Guo Huaruo said just now, and some things that he was accustomed to kept flashing in his mind, thinking about the tragic situation of Na Xi'er in the movie. I can't calm down for a long time, where is the answer to these problems?

Chairman Mao in Yan'an nodded after reading a document, put a tick on a notebook, and only saw that this page was densely packed with many schools -- artillery school, field medical class, communications special training class, engineering academy, driving class, health college, medical school, etc., all of which were ticked at the back, and Chairman Mao put a tick behind the artillery school and began to read another document. (To be continued......)
