Section IV

Throwing a cigarette to the stone, Zheng Pusheng lit the match, lit the cigarette in his mouth, and stretched it out in front of the stone on the side. Originally, because of Lao Meng's words, Shi was a little resistant to smoking with the battalion commander, but when he saw the match coming out, he had to put the cigarette in his mouth with a wry smile and light it.

took a deep breath, the stone couldn't help but be full of bitterness, I didn't expect that not only did they smoke together again, but this time they also asked the battalion commander to help light a cigarette, what is this called.

Zheng Pusheng didn't care about the neat school official clothes on his body, he sat down, and then patted the open space next to him, and saw the stone sit down with a wry smile, and then slowly said: "Why, I haven't come to see you for a few days, and I'm not very happy to greet me?" ”

"No, battalion commander, I ......" Stone stuttered at all not knowing how to speak.

"It's not a fart, it's the mess they told you, Old Man Meng." Zheng Pusheng scolded dissatisfiedly, took a puff of cigarette, and didn't hear the sound of the stone on the side, so he knew that this kid definitely didn't know what to say now.

"A few days ago, I saw that you refused to be a guard for the regiment, and I thought you kid had an open head, but I didn't expect you to still look like an idiot!" Zheng Pusheng said with a sigh.

Shi Shi was also dazed, and asked Zheng Pusheng a little uneasily, "Battalion commander, is that the right thing to do?" ”

Zheng Pusheng glanced at him, and didn't answer right, but said slowly: "Follow the regimental seat as a guard, there must be nothing to say about the treatment, the ancients all said, the prime minister's door in front of the seven-grade official, you follow the regimental seat, you can be regarded as an absolute cronie, who in the regiment must not be polite when they see you!" However, your future is also set in this position, and unless the group can continue to go one step higher, you will have room for improvement. ”

Seeing the puzzled look of the stone, Zheng Pusheng asked rhetorically: "Do you think that the kind of whiskers and horses that Lao Meng said is very important?" ”

Stone hesitated and whispered, "I just think they have some point. In fact, Shi Shi not only felt that what they said made sense, but he felt that it was the truth, especially when he saw the scene of the guards being sent to death, which strengthened his thoughts.

"It also depends on when, Stone, now it's a war, it's fighting with the little devil, at this time, what is the most important ability of a soldier? It's ability, it's the ability to fight, think about it, those officers who rely on sycophants to get to the top, Shang Feng is relieved to hand over a team to them to command? If you really do something that makes fun of your brother's life, no matter who it is, it will be doomed, and Shangfeng's main concern now is the war of resistance, whoever can fight can go up. The same is true of the matter of being a guard for the regimental seat mentioned earlier, if you go to the regiment headquarters, you will have fewer opportunities to fight next to the regiment commander, of course, there is no problem with being a squad and platoon leader, but if you want to be promoted to the company level, battalion level or even regiment level, you can't be promoted without outstanding combat achievements, you haven't experienced bloody battles, and you don't have an officer who has commanded the troops to fight with the enemy, Shangfeng will not hand over the team at ease at all, I say this, can you understand? ”

Shi looked at Camp Commander Zheng with a complicated mood, and said in disbelief: "Battalion Commander, then, what they said about having a good relationship with their superiors is wrong?" ”

"Of course, you can't go wrong, no matter when, it is necessary to have a good relationship with your superiors and subordinates, but, as long as you have a good face, you don't have to be so deliberate, it makes people feel that you are bending to welcome, which will make some chiefs think that you are hypocritical, not pragmatic, and you have to be hard to strike iron, you just have to fight with peace of mind, and killing devils well is the most important thing." The cigarette in Zheng Pusheng's mouth had been smoked during the time he was talking, and he immediately smoked another one and put it in his mouth, and at the same time threw another one to the stone with concern.

Shi Shi's mood at the moment is happy, I don't know how, his heart just doesn't want to do those things that please people, the previous practice, just don't want people to use them as cannon fodder to send them to death, now hearing the words of the battalion commander, suddenly let his knowledge broaden a lot, and he also understands a little bit about the ideas between the upper leaders, knowing that the superiors will use their subordinates to really use their talents, and suddenly let go of their hearts a lot.

"Battalion commander, if you hadn't come, I would have really been disheartened." Stone is not a scheming person, he thinks of something and says it.

"Worried about what? What did Lao Meng and the others say to you? Zheng Pusheng asked puzzled, he was really puzzled, such a ruthless person as a stone, killing a little devil is really a tiger into the flock, this is such a guy, he is also afraid?

Shi smiled awkwardly, and then quickly said Lao Meng's previous words briefly, but before Shi finished speaking, Zheng Pusheng laughed there, holding his stomach and laughing wildly, which also made Shi dumbfounded, he didn't know what happened to the battalion commander, was what he just said so funny? It seems to be telling the truth.

"Cannon fodder? Afraid of being cannon fodder? Hahaha...... "The more Zheng Pusheng thought about it, the funnier it became, fortunately he could still hold it and didn't roll on the ground, otherwise the prestige of this major would have been lost."

"You are a person favored by Staff Officer Zhang and Head Cheng, even if you dare me to be cannon fodder, no one dares to use you as cannon fodder." Zheng Pusheng laughed and said, thinking that this stone is really an idiot, even if he still has this kind of thought, but thinking that these things are all Lao Meng and they told this kid, they feel normal, people who are not at their level seem to be difficult to understand the thoughts of the people above, as the lowest soldier, there is really no chance to get the news from above, just say the stone, now he is a famous figure in the whole division, how can anyone who is still blinded will use him as cannon fodder?

After laughing for a moment, seeing the stone scratching his head depressedly here, Zheng Pusheng stopped laughing, hugged his smiling stomach and said breathlessly: "In the future, don't listen to these guys talk nonsense, if you don't understand or worry about something, come to me, fortunately, I came here today, otherwise there might be some jokes, isn't this a shame for Staff Officer Zhang and Tuanzao." ”

Shi asked puzzledly: "Battalion commander, why is this related to Staff Officer Zhang and the regiment commander again?" ”

"Stone, you don't know yet, after Staff Officer Zhang returned to the division headquarters, he proposed to the division seat to transfer you to the rear for treatment, for this matter, there was a little contradiction with Brigade Commander Li, it is said that Brigade Commander Li accused Staff Officer Zhang of abusing his power and abusing his power for personal gain because of this matter, Staff Officer Zhang did not flinch, and argued with reason, and the division seat personally went to mediate, so as not to make things bigger, but now the people above know your name." Zheng Pusheng looked at the stone, his mouth was slurking, obviously he was a little jealous of Staff Officer Zhang taking such a fancy to the stone.

The stone was startled, and more was the handsome appearance of Staff Officer Zhang that appeared in his mind, that kind of elegant atmosphere, which suddenly made him feel warm all over his body, especially the situation when Staff Officer Zhang commanded them to impact several times, which made Shi feel that his body was getting taller and taller, and more and more admirable, "Battalion commander, that staff officer will be fine!" I'm the one who caused him trouble. ”

Zheng Pusheng shook his head with a smile and said: "You don't understand the above things, you can't help now, don't think so much, do your current things well, it is the biggest reward for Staff Officer Zhang." ”

Shi lowered his head and lowered his head, as if he was very uneasy about Staff Officer Zhang's affairs, and the whole person seemed to have no energy.

Zheng Pusheng knows this guy's temper, maybe it's because he lost his memory, the stone doesn't make a clear view of what he knows now, how can he not put his mind at ease, if he says it is good, he is persistent, and if it is ugly, he is stubborn or drilling, for such a situation, Zheng Pusheng also had to shake his head, such a temper, in the army, it seems that it is easy to offend people, and if it goes on like this, I don't know what it will be like.

Waving at a correspondent in the distance, Zheng Pusheng said loudly, "Go get something to eat." ”

When he came over this time, he came with the cooking class, delivering food and ordnance supplies at the same time, but also to see the stone, I didn't expect to say it for such a long time, in the case that the Japanese army may rush up at any time, it is not a good thing for everyone to be hungry, seeing the appearance of the stone, he knew that it would not work if he didn't make it clear, so he simply explained while eating.

The correspondent moved quickly, and it didn't take long for him to come over with two large bowls full of rice, and there were quite a few dishes on them, which made people look quite appetizing.

While eating, Zheng Pusheng slowly said to the stone: "Don't think about it, I'll tell you, lest you waste your time by drilling the horns." ”

Shi nodded gratefully, he really didn't know how to be grateful for Camp Commander Zheng's concern.

"Actually, Staff Officer Zhang's matter is still somewhat related to me, even if it weren't for you, Brigade Commander Li would probably find trouble with him!" Zheng Pusheng sighed as he spoke.

"Something to do with you? Battalion commander, have you offended Brigadier Li? Stone asked vaguely with rice in his mouth.

"Me? How can I offend Brigadier Li? That's the case, that day, when the Japanese army was blocked in the southern suburbs of Luodian, in order to worry that the Japanese army would mix with the retreating team to kill the position, we opened fire when the brothers of the 306th Regiment had not all withdrawn, which made the 306th Regiment, which had suffered heavy losses, and many brothers were not able to come back, for which Regiment Commander Qiu also slapped me a few times, but Staff Officer Zhang stopped Regiment Commander Qiu and took the matter over. Therefore, even if there is nothing to do, Brigade Commander Li will come to find trouble. However, don't worry, Staff Officer Zhang is very trusted by the division, and he is very popular in the division headquarters, and our Regiment Commander Cheng has become an iron buddy with Staff Officer Zhang, and when they take care of each other, Brigade Commander Li can't move him. ”

Shi let out a long breath, and when he heard this, he was obviously in a cheerful mood, and even the speed of eating was much faster, and it didn't take long to put a bowl of rice into his stomach.

And Zheng Pusheng saw the appearance of the stone, and shook his head with a smile, this kid, he really can't hide anything, what is on his face, this is not very good, it affects the future of development, but when he thought of the situation of the stone, he shook his head helplessly, this is also something that cannot be helped.

After the two finished eating, they sat down for a while, chatting casually about the situation in the platoon, but it didn't take long to see the correspondent running towards them with a serious face.
