Section II

There are sentries left outside the courtyard, although they have now withdrawn to the position where the regimental headquarters is, but in the battlefield, always being vigilant is also the foundation of survival, but they can only maintain a double sentry, for them with a small number of people, just this one sentry post, the whole company has to take turns every day.

"Staff Officer Zhang? Head Zhang? The stone lying on the chair suddenly woke up, and he turned over and was about to go out to greet him, but he was supported by Xiao Shandong, who was quick to move, and sat on the chair in a daze.

"Company commander, your injuries haven't he......aled yet," Xiao Shandong looked at the fierce appearance of the stone and said with low concern.

"Staff Officer Zhang, it's Staff Officer Zhang, I heard the battalion commander say that Staff Officer Zhang went to reorganize the troops, why are you here?" Shi said excitedly, for this officer who had known him as early as the southern suburbs of Luodian, he was undoubtedly more cordial than others, speaking of which, it should be not much different from Battalion Commander Zheng, after all, he had fought together a lot, and gave him a lot of care and help, until now, Shi still remembered what Staff Officer Zhang told him, what art of war, formation and the like, especially that sentence, "When the battle here is over, I will ask Shizuo for help and find the best doctor to see you for you." ”

"Aren't I welcome here?" At this time, there was a hearty laugh at the gate of the courtyard, and then a group of people from Hula entered the courtyard.

The originally spacious courtyard suddenly became crowded, and those people in the three companies who had only lazily basked in the sun for more than ten days and lived a leisurely life straightened up one by one, trying their best to maintain the standard posture of salute, but the messy military uniforms and sloppy appearances on their bodies betrayed their previous laziness.

This is a middle-aged officer in his thirties, with a straight military uniform, meticulous, and a dazzling colonel rank. And the original white skin, which has not been seen for nearly a month, has darkened a lot, but what has not changed is the angular face like a knife and an axe, coupled with the resoluteness that reveals the bones, full of sharp eyes, it can really be described as a sword eyebrow star, heroic and extraordinary, the entire fifty-first division, except for Zhang Lingfu, where will there be others.

At this moment, Zhang Lingfu was a little less serious and more peaceful, with a smile on his face, and his eyes looking at the stone were also full of appreciation, and then asked softly: "I heard that Captain Cheng said that you were injured?" What's going on now? ”

The stone pushed away Xiao Shandong's blocked arm and wanted to stand up, and Xiao Shandong's originally powerful arm also let go, he was also shocked by the strong momentum of Staff Officer Zhang at this moment, and suddenly thought of the company commander sitting like this and talking to the commander, it was really not good, in case something was unhappy, then they would be finished.

Before the stone stood up, Zhang Lingfu stepped over in the shape of a dragon, grabbed the body of the stone with strong and powerful hands, pressed down, and let the stone lie down, and said with a smile: "They are all brothers who kill prisoners side by side, what are you doing with these false courtesies, take care of your injuries, and go back to the front line as soon as possible to fight devils is the most important thing." ”

Looking at Staff Officer Zhang's expression full of concern, and listening to this simple but firm and powerful voice, Shi suddenly felt that the suppressed emotions he had been in for a period of time had been swept away, and the feeling that the commanders were vying for power and profit, unscrupulous means, and even losing confidence became insignificant, maybe it was just a few officers? Maybe more commanders, or like Staff Officer Zhang, who is bent on driving out the Japanese invaders and recovering their homeland?

There was a fierce struggle in his mind, and the mouth of the stone was not slow, and he hurriedly responded: "Staff Officer Zhang, the injuries on my body are almost healed, and I have been recuperating during this time, and I don't feel any pain anymore these days." ”

At this time, Li Wenguang on the side didn't know where to find a bench and wanted to hand it to Staff Officer Zhang, but he found that it was dirty, and there was a dry mud hanging on it, which made him dumbfounded, and cold sweat broke out all over his body, and he froze there helplessly, which was extremely funny.

Zhang Lingfu didn't seem to see his kind of embarrassed look, he took the dirty stool, didn't look at it, just put it on the edge of the stone recliner, and sat down, this time the stone was helpless, he was lying like a master, but Staff Officer Zhang, who had the rank of colonel, was sitting on a small bench on the side.

Seeming to see the uneasiness of the stone, Zhang Lingfu smiled and said: "As soon as I came back this time, I heard Commander Cheng say that you have made many military exploits some time ago, and you have defeated a squadron of the Japanese army with a platoon of troops, and captured twenty-three Japanese soldiers. You're a celebrity in our 51st Division. ”

Hearing Zhang Lingfu's words of praise, Shishi's face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Staff Officer Zhang, the battle was fought by a platoon of brothers, and I am only one of them, this is not my credit alone, besides, this is also our luck, when the devils attacked, they did not understand our reality and suffered a loss at the beginning of the battle, and later if it wasn't for the regiment commander's timely counterattack, we might not have survived and retreated." ”

Zhang Lingfu nodded when he heard this, and praised again: "Yes, yes, high but not arrogant, victorious but not arrogant, this is the real style of a general." ”

As soon as Zhang Lingfu's words came out, those who came here with him really changed their faces one by one, and they have been following this regiment leader for nearly a month, and the sternness and courage of the regiment seat are deeply in awe of them, and the person in the regiment speaks one thing or another, never talks nonsense, nor is he polite to others, although there are also cases of praising others, but they often cherish words like gold, and praise a young man like this here now, it is really a strange anecdote, if these words are transmitted back to the group, it will definitely cause endless conjectures.

Shi didn't know this, although he and Zhang Lingfu had known each other for a while, but at that time, they were basically fighting, and the conversation between them was just a few words, and the understanding of Staff Officer Zhang was only in those words and command operations, like such a casual chatter without scruples, it was the first time, but he didn't expect it to be such a situation of endless praise, which made him very grateful, but he was also very embarrassed, he really didn't think he had done many great things, Shooting devils with guns and fighting on the battlefield is just the duty of these people, but it is really not as prominent as Staff Officer Zhang said.

Seeing that the stone was a little uneasy, Zhang Lingfu changed the topic and asked with a chuckle: "When I heard that you had such outstanding results, do you know what my first reaction was?" ”

Shi shook his head blankly, but Zhang Lingfu laughed and said, "I was wondering if your brain was suddenly better and remembered everything from before." ”

Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, but then smiled bitterly: "The previous things were like a fog, no matter how you think about it, it has no effect, and even what your father and mother look like have no impression, I am really afraid that it will always be like this in the future, I don't know where I came from, where I want to go, and I don't know why I live in this world." ”

This kind of words without the slightest enterprising spirit and full of depression, if they are heard by other chiefs, they will definitely attract a scolding, which is also the reason why the stone does not understand the sinister heart of the people, and does not understand some scruples, when he said this, Lao Meng and Zhu on the side showed a worried look, and Zhang Lingfu, who was sitting next to his recliner, listened to it, but nodded thoughtfully, as if he felt the same way: "Yes, in this world, in fact, death is not the most terrible thing, it is said that the ignorant are fearless, In fact, not knowing anything is the most terrible and painful thing. People who don't know anything have no goals for themselves, no direction to move forward, and everything they do is just based on their own instincts until they die in the end, and they don't know what they died for. ”

Sighing lightly, feeling at the current situation of the stone, Zhang Lingfu shook his head and said: "Before going to train the 305th regiment, I had talked to the division about you, but the battle was fierce, the defense line was tight, and the division had no time to arrange, as for sending you to the rear for treatment, firstly, it did not conform to the military regulations, and secondly, because most of the medical team were trauma doctors, so the matter was delayed. Only when the battle here is over, can we find a way, at this point, I am speechless, and I hope that the stone will bear with me! ”

Shi had long heard from the battalion commander that Staff Officer Zhang had helped him arrange treatment, and now that he heard that Staff Officer Zhang had helped him so much, he still had to apologize to him, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only look at this officer who was supposed to be high up, but was sitting next to him at the moment, with teary eyes.

The tears welling up in the stone's eyes were actually the best answer, and after Zhang Lingfu saw it, he just muttered: "This matter is not good, I am ashamed!" ”

After a long silence, Zhang Lingfu seemed to remember something, and said to a captain officer on the side: "Bring the things." ”

Seeing this captain officer take two steps forward, respectfully handed over a suitcase, Zhang Lingfu took it, and said to the stone: "This is the textbook and class notes when I was studying at the Huangpu Military Academy, and I have been staying by my side to add a souvenir. ”

The stone couldn't hold back any longer when he heard the sound, and stood up with emotion at the moment.
