From the moment Yang Longfei chooses to change his identity, it means that he will completely say goodbye to his past life. His residence was arranged in the home of a fortress household, it was a very simple adobe house, not to mention the air leakage, almost every wall exploded with shocking cracks, Yang Longfei had every reason to doubt that this room would suddenly collapse when he was asleep? After entering the room, I was able to observe the layout of the whole room: when I entered the door, there was an earthen stove, which was stuffed with unburned firewood, and the pipes under the stove and the earthen kang in the inner room figured it out.

There are few special furnishings in the house, not even the most basic washbasins and towels, and it is said that every morning when you wash up, you have to get water from the large vat in the yard, and you have to do the work of fetching water and refilling it yourself. Pick up two wooden barrels and a flat pole against the wall, and scoop water at the lake two hundred meters away from the room.

In order to express his welcome to Yang Longfei's troops, political commissar Hu Dequan specially ordered the cooking class to slaughter a pig as a snack for tonight's snacks to entertain the guests. Yang Longfei only felt dizzy and retching for a while, he really couldn't eat it, so he only drank a few sips of hot broth and left the table. After returning to the room, Yang Longfei sat on the edge of the kang in a daze and bowed his head in contemplation. Faced with this situation, should we rejoice that we have been born again, or should we feel sad that we are about to draw an end to the past?

Looking at the empty wall in front of him, which emitted a musty smell, Yang Longfei seemed to think of the house he lived in during the National Army, which was a world of difference compared to now. Forget it, if you can't figure it out, you don't want to, and you're not a landlord, so you can't always think about the days of happiness. He licked his lips, always feeling a little greasy, probably from those few sips of broth.

After a while, Yang Longfei only felt a burst of thirst, and he vaguely remembered that there were a few bottles of Lao Bai Gan on the dinner table at that time. Thinking of this, he beat his chest for a while, and scolded silently in his heart: Damn, I knew that I should drink a few sips of wine, not to mention drinking to relieve fatigue and warm my stomach, and let myself sleep more comfortably at night.

He was grumbling when there was a crisp knock on the door......

"Come in ......"

I saw Zhang Shan, the deputy head of the regiment, carrying a bundle of old white cadres and opening the door curtain and walking into Yang Longfei's room, Yang Longfei's eyes were straight at that time. He counted down unceremoniously: "I said that your kid has changed places, and there are more and more stinky problems, right?" Why haven't I seen you kid so Sven before? Oh, now that I'm back in my hometown, I've learned to pay attention to it? Know a knock on the door? ”

"Commander, don't bury me, I'm not afraid that you will be thirsty at night? I specially asked the political commissar Hu to bring a bundle of old white gan on credit to satisfy your cravings......" Zhang Shan said as he put the bundle of liquor on the kang table, then took out two bottles from it, and then bit the cap open with his hard teeth.

Yang Longfei took the wine bottle and glanced at Zhang Shan: "Aren't you kid not drinking?" When did you learn it? ”

"It was when I was in the national army, and I didn't drink because I was afraid that someone would poison me. No way, it's such a habit, you have to watch out. You also know what the two bastards are, if I was calculated by them because of drinking, it would be enough for my peers to laugh off their big teeth. After Zhang Shan finished speaking, he raised the wine bottle and blew it on his mouth.

Yang Longfei also blew a small mouthful, he sighed and said: "I don't see it, you kid is also a Communist Party for a long time, or an old Communist Party?" I haven't figured it out yet, but there's something I want to ask you. As I said this afternoon, I once asked Liu Baoquan, chief of staff of the regiment, to check your file, and found that your boy had been a blank sheet of paper for nearly eight years from the end of 1927 to October 1935. I wonder what the reason for this is. ”

"Commander, you have always been discerning, do you still need to ask me about such a trivial matter? You should know what has happened in the past eight years, and do you need me to tell you why? ”

Yang Longfei slapped the table with great interest: "Okay, then let me guess, see if I think right...... Your kid was born on the 27th of December 1909, a native of Huang'an County, Hubei. At the end of 1927, there was a jute riot in your hometown, am I right? There are tens of thousands of people in the Huang'an and Macheng uprisings alone, and they are all a bunch of children as big as fifteen, sixteen or seven, and you are just eighteen that year, and you are nineteen. With your idle temper, you can be like that lazy donkey,......"

Zhang Shan smiled in admiration: "Commander, you guessed it and asked me?" You're right, I was just a raw melon and egg at the time, and I didn't understand the hair. At that time, the old and young masters in the village were all in a hurry to join the rebel army, and they became a village of girls in a blink of an eye! I said in my heart that I can't let people see me laughing, right? That's it, while my father went to herd cattle at the landlord's house, I put aside the wall of my house and copied a shuttle dart and ran to the Red Guards. Afterwards, I was assigned to the 3rd Brigade of the 31st Division led by Xu Qixu, and then I also followed into the Hubei-Henan-Anhui base area, and also participated in the fifth anti-encirclement and suppression. After the operation failed, he followed the team to start the Long March, and I was also present when it crossed the Dadu River! After the end of the Long March, I received a new order to sign up for the Central Army, and then you will know everything about the rest of the year. ”

"And then you went to our 25th regiment to spy on the military? Well, you're quite a kid. Have you thought about it? At that time, if I had put my mind more on this, you kid probably wouldn't have lived to this day. ”

"Not necessarily, it depends on how you handle it. According to the rules, you should take the evidence to the second place and let those guys do me. But I don't think you would do that, it's a loss of identity. I think that according to your character, you should send me to the military justice department as a suspect, or you are too troublesome to kill me. But this is not in accordance with the rules, and if you can't keep good deeds, what hat will you put on your head? But I have to make it clear that even if you send me to the Judge Advocate General's Office, I will not necessarily be found guilty. The reason is very simple, if the top level of the Central Army does not have a few insiders who can speak, I really don't dare to go deep into the tiger's den to grab food from you. ”

Yang Longfei looked at Zhang Shan on the side with blazing eyes, and said solemnly: "Then listen well, even if I really grasped your true identity at that time, it is impossible to pierce this layer of window paper." The reason is simpler, as early as a year before you infiltrated our group, I already had the surname Gongla......"

Zhang Shan half-jokingly said: "Then you say, is this a providence or a fluke?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just shit luck...... "After saying that, Yang Longfei raised the wine bottle, raised his neck and drank it all.

……

After sleeping with his head covered for a day, Yang Longfei's physical condition gradually improved. He saw through the thin layer of window paper that the morning sun was still good, so he got up and put on his clothes and prepared to go outside.

The soldiers of the 25th Regiment were conducting military training in an open space at the entrance of the village, and Yang Longfei took a closer look and found that the instructor standing on the side and staring at it was none other than Li Datou, a soldier from the first battalion. Yang Longfei can be said to remember this guy's fist and foot kung fu vividly, from the first day of the Battle of Nanjing to the present, this kid has killed no less than fifty devils in the white-knuckle battle. In this regard, Yang Longfei himself sighed to himself, and he was convinced, after all, he had saved his life on the battlefield.

Xie Dacheng, the commander of the first battalion, was leisurely leaning against an earthen wall and smoking a cigarette, looking at the clouds in the sky and the hills in the distance from time to time. Yang Longfei stepped forward and shouted, "What are you kid doing? On the first day of the rest of the army, you kid started bullying the recruits? It's a battalion commander, and the soldiers are training next to it, and you kid just looks at it? ”

Xie Dacheng hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt and stepped on it, and said with a bitter face: "Regiment leader, I'm not lazy, I'm cultivating the backbone of our regiment." Besides, the head of Li is no longer a recruit, he is now the commander of the first company of our battalion, and he is still the combat instructor of our battalion, I just mentioned it to him. Don't you often say that you have to leave the opportunity to the capable kid......"

Yang Longfei glanced at Xie Dacheng and said: "This kid is good, his kung fu is at home, and his personality is also good, unlike your kid who is stunned." In this way, the name of this company commander will be hung up on him first, and if you call him over, I will have something to do with him. ”

Xie Dacheng looked at Yang Longfei vigilantly and asked quietly: "Regiment leader, you came to our camp early in the morning, did you want to dig the foot of the wall?" ”

Yang Longfei scolded: "Fart, the whole regiment has to listen to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu can get whoever he wants, and he still needs to dig the foot of the wall?" . I'll tell you, I haven't counted your kid's discipline yet, don't force Lao Tzu to turn over old accounts for you......"

Xie Dacheng nodded reluctantly and praised: "Yes, head of the regiment, you are right." Don't say you don't dig the foot of the wall, even if you really want to dig the foot of the wall, we people have to stick our heads out and let you hoe, right? Extinguish the fire, don't be angry, I'll call him over...... Company Commander, come here, hurry up! ”

Li Datou stopped the training, ran to Yang Longfei and Xie Dacheng with small steps, and saluted the two of them with a blank face: "Report to the regiment commander, battalion commander, the first company is undergoing assassination training, please instruct!" ”

Yang Longfei smiled: "I didn't instruct, I just wanted to tell you that the position of the company commander and combat instructor of the first company is temporarily represented by your battalion commander." Let's go, you go around me, I have something to tell you! ”

Li looked at the battalion commander Xie Dacheng in a daze, and said in his heart, what can the regiment commander do if he is looking for me? Who would have thought that Xie Dacheng would hurt himself in a weird way: "Go ahead, talk to the regiment commander well, if you are happy, I will sit in the position of battalion commander tomorrow, and then I will be the company commander of your subordinates, you can take care of it more." ”

"You don't come to this set, I really dare to arrange it like this if you talk too much, so that your kid can rely on his identity as a veteran to bully other recruits when he is usually fine......" Yang Longfei threatened.

Xie Dacheng immediately smiled: "Leader, don't I play with him?" Don't take it seriously. Xiao Li, what are you still doing in a daze, let's go with the head of the regiment, talk to the head of the regiment more, do you know? ”

The two returned to the village from the open space at the entrance of the village, walking on a narrow sheep intestine path, mixed with the ranks of the Eighth Route Army coming and going, which seemed a little unusual.

Yang Longfei raised his head and said half-jokingly: "I think your kid is good, I heard that he is from a martial arts family?" I've roughly sorted out your boy's record, good guy, after a few white-knuckle battles, you alone fought out fifty devils with bayonets? At this point, there is no one in our group from top to bottom who is not convinced. I heard that you yourself were wounded, that your left arm was pierced by an enemy's bayonet, that your stomach was scratched, and that your intestines were about to come out. How's it going, are you feeling better? ”

"It's all right, Captain. I started practicing martial arts at the age of five, and when I was twelve years old, I worshipped a master and practiced internal kung fu. This little injury is no different from a mosquito bite, the pain is just a moment, and the patience will pass. The wound on my stomach was stitched up by the doctor last night, and then I slept with my head in the back and it passed, and now I feel much better, and I don't feel it if I don't touch it. Li patted his chest with his head and said with an extra easy face.

Yang Longfei nodded indifferently and continued to ask: "You kid doesn't look like you're from the countryside, why did you come up with such a name?" Still Li head? I heard that it's because you have to hit the stele with your head every time you practice martial arts, and you hit your head big when you come and go, and then your master gave you this name, called Li Datou. What does this name sound like and what does a nickname mean? Then are there any of your junior brothers named Zhang Da Tongue and Wu Da Nose? ”

Li couldn't help laughing, and he said, "Commander, no one said that this is not a nickname." My master's nickname is 'Lightning Hand', which sounds a lot more bluffing than my name. If you don't want to say it, you can just watch me change it and it's over? ”

"Isn't it easy to come up with a good name? Any one of them is better than your big head...... Like what Li Dadao, Li Fighting, Li Tank, and Li Shenshu can pick out any one of them, and the name sounds more pleasing to the ear than yours......"

Li Datou blinked his eyes after hearing this, and proposed: "Alas, the name Li Shenshu is not bad, and it is more comfortable to call than Li Dadao and Li fighting." Well, from today onwards, we won't call it Li Toutou, we will call it Li Shengun! ”

Yang Longfei was happy: "What's the matter?" When I mention it casually, do you really recognize this name? Lee Sharpshooter? Okay, it's easier to call than Li's head, and you can do it if you recognize it. It's decided, in the future, when the soldiers of the whole regiment see you, they will have to change their minds and call you Li Shengun! ”

Li's head was still immersed in the fantasy that others would call himself "Li Shengun" in the future, and Yang Longfei couldn't help but interrupt him: "Okay, don't be happy!" It's like this with a name, what's the point? So, I have one more thing to hear from you......"

Li Shenshu shook his hand and said, "Ahem, you are the head of the regiment, you have the final say on everything, you don't need to ask me." ”

Yang Longfei simply got straight to the point: "Then I can say, if I dismiss you as the commander of a battalion and a company now, and let you come to the regiment headquarters to be a guard with me, what are you doing?" ”

Li Shenshu was stunned, he was stunned and motionless, the corners of his mouth twitched and he asked with difficulty: "Commander, ...... What do you say? Let me do it for you...... Policeman? This doesn't work, right? Where can anyone do a guard? The guards have to be able to serve people, do laundry and sweep the floor, and bring a foot wash at night or something. I, I don't wash my feet at night, you let me ...... Hey, don't talk about it, Captain, you have to think twice about this. ”

Yang Longfei glanced at Li's head and asked, "Think twice, you kid don't pull those things for me that don't need them!" Still washing your feet? Lao Tzu is neither a tyrant nor a landlord, so why do you need a maid to wash your feet? You kid is definitely not because of this reason, you tell me the truth, do you think that the guard has a low position, and he is not as energetic as your company commander? If that's the reason for you, then I can retract my decision. ”

"Commander, if you think so, then you really wronged me, how can I Li Shenshu be this kind of person? I said in my heart where did such a good thing come from, and I mixed directly with the back of the regiment leader's buttocks, which is too embarrassing for me. Regiment Leader, although you greet the sword mountain and the sea of fire, if I squeak, I will not be a gentleman, but if you really plan to let me take care of your life, I really can't do it. It's hard to say, I don't even bother to serve myself, isn't it embarrassing for me to let me serve others again? ”

"You kid don't talk nonsense, you don't need to take care of Lao Tzu's daily life. Then again, you can't let you manage even if you want to take care of me, who do you think you are, a big girl or a little daughter-in-law? Whose big girl looks like you? Guards, guards, you know what they do when they hear this. Lao Tzu is not a landlord and a wealthyman, he does not lack arms and legs, so he needs you to serve me? I'm going to let you help the landlord pick up a few buckets of water, isn't that too much? Yang Longfei spread out his hands and looked bitter.

As soon as Li Shenshu heard this, he calmed down, and took advantage of the situation to get off the donkey and said, "Oh, that's it?" If that's the case, it's much more comfortable than a dry company commander! Regiment commander, to be honest, I'm really not a company commander, what's the use of being an officer? You said yes, and you can't bring it in the coffin...... Then let's say okay, regimental commander, I'll do this guard! ”

Yang Longfei smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, as the old saying goes, you have to put a rod and scale in your heart, and you have to be a man with your conscience, isn't it?" Being a guard by Lao Tzu's side can't treat you badly...... Okay, that's it, you go back! I went to tell you battalion commander Xie Dacheng, and said that you, the company commander, are going to be my guard. At noon, move all your things to the regiment headquarters, the room is ready for you, live next door to me, and you can hear a fart at night. If you really have to do something, you can take care of each other, go ahead! ”

"Well, regimental commander, then I'll go tell the battalion commander now...... By the way, Commander, I have one more thing to report to you. Is it the guy I use, can you change it for me? Our bayonet is too difficult to use, like the gang of devils yesterday, the body is wrapped like a dumpling, the bayonet stabbed to death is a skin wound, and the blood that flows out has not floated out of the cotton wool. Can you give me a different knife? ”

"No problem, is this still a problem? When you move in at noon, go into the house and take away the ghost knife I hung on the wall, and the knife will be yours from now on! Not only the knife, but also your weapon, I also changed it for you, and returned you with two 20-shot box cannons, which is interesting enough, right? As for the ammunition, I'll ask you for the key points of the advance group, and I will advance you a hundred rounds first, and then we will make up for you at one time when our group is full! ”

"Take care of the tube, the head of the regiment is particular, we can't always hang it, right? Otherwise, people will have to scold us, and we don't know what to do. Okay, regiment commander, then you can wander around casually, and I will go to carry the luggage after reporting to our battalion commander......" Li Shenshu was so happy that his mouth was almost closed, he turned around and ran fast with his calves open, and disappeared from Yang Longfei's field of vision in the blink of an eye.
