"Lao Hu, if you have anything to say, my busy ass is about to catch fire. ”

Zhang Qingshan ran back to the command headquarters in one go, didn't say anything, drank all the water in the cup, wiped his mouth, and asked breathlessly.

More than half a month has passed since the Battle of Pigeon Mouth, and in view of the unprecedented losses caused by this battle, more than 600 people died in the battle alone, and the distressed Zhang Qingshan did not sleep for three days and three nights, either busy burying the martyrs or busy recruiting soldiers.

To tell the truth, the benefits of unifying the three counties were immediately apparent, and as soon as the commando regiment conscription order came out, the common people flocked to it, and almost broke the threshold. It's easy to make up for the soldiers, and all of them are young men from Yishui.

Moreover, the enthusiasm of the common people for the assault regiment was also greatly stimulated, and daily necessities such as grain, cloth, and salt were continuously sent to Qinglong Mountain like ants moving. The party, government, and military regulations clearly stipulate that the people cannot be taken with a stitch or a thread, but looking at the enthusiasm of the people, Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze both feel that if they refuse all and do not accept them at all, it will dampen the enthusiasm of the people and be detrimental to their future work. The Communist Youth League Party Committee was convened urgently and unanimously decided that all things sent by the poor and poor people, no matter how much they sent, should not be anything else, and that all grain should be collected at market prices, and that the people would not want money and would resolutely not accept it.

However, for those rich and powerful, there is nothing to say, just assume that they donate, and they are not bad anyway...... And those big families also know that the sky has changed, and if they don't please the commando group, who can guarantee that the commando group will not settle accounts with them? Besides, under the rule of the little devils, they are all big households, and how many of them are clean?

Therefore, these guys not only send money and food, but also weapons and ammunition.

And with Zhang Qingshan's temperament, he usually has to be a shopkeeper when he has nothing to do, not to mention these things that he is not good at in his opinion, so it is naturally impossible to bow to everything. So, he grasped one point: to train those recruits vigorously and adapt them to everything in the army as soon as possible. At the same time, he did not forget to supervise the training of the companies - which was stimulated by the battle of Pigeon Mouth. Summing up the experience afterwards, I found that many seemingly inconsequential small details can determine life and death at critical moments, such as the artillery company, their arrangement, or the division of troops to assist the infantry, which is not flexible enough. Otherwise, if they could change places with one shot, it would be absolutely impossible to lose six small steel cannons. This is the result of not enough training in this area, and only knowing how to follow rigid teaching materials.

There are many such things, so even after more than a month of tying, Zhang Qingshan has not only not slackened, but has trained more hard.

"Lao Zhang, the punishment for you has been taken down by the organization. Hu Yingze grimaced, frowned and handed the telegram to Zhang Qingshan: "Look at it." ”

Zhang Qingshan was stunned at the moment, and then remembered that he was still guilty. He smiled a little awkwardly, and joked while taking the telegram: "Calculating the time, Deputy Director Li should have returned to the division headquarters a long time ago, and the punishment should have come down." ”

But looking down at the content of the telegram, Zhang Qingshan was happy.

The telegram clearly stated the matter of Zhang Qingshan - being able to explain the situation in such detail in the telegram definitely shows how much attention the division headquarters attaches to Zhang Qingshan's punishment, and even has a bit of propaganda in it.

However, the result was: Zhang Qingshan's regiment commander couldn't do it, and directly became the instructor of the assault company.

This is what made Zhang Qingshan go back to his old job, and it is no wonder that Zhang Qingshan grinned.

"Do you still have a smile?" Zhang Qingshan, the party concerned, smiled happily, but Hu Yingze's face was almost as black as pot ash: "Do you know that our pigeon mouth battle not only played the prestige of our assault regiment, but also made our entire Eighth Route Army feel that there was light on their faces, and even the theater headquarters sent a telegram of rewards......"

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Qingshan jumped up, looked at Hu Yingze with shining eyes, and asked eagerly: "Even the theater command knows?"

"Of course!"

Zhang Qingshan further asked, "Then how many material rewards are they going to give us?"

Hu Yingze, who was angry, suddenly stiffened, as if someone was choking his neck, and he was suffocated.

After a while, he said angrily: "The material reward of bullshit is a verbal reward, and there is not even a certificate of merit." ”

"I ...... I ......" Zhang Qingshan instinctively opened his mouth to scold, but swallowed it back.

After glancing at Hu Yingze, he slapped his thigh and scolded: "These guys are really too stingy! It's okay to hide behind and enjoy the happiness, but they don't even give a little of the most basic weapons and ammunition, which is too unusual." ”

Hu Yingze pursed his lips, thinking to himself: I haven't finished what I've said later, otherwise, let you know that they call us a militia organization (the assault regiment is not Lao Jiang's registered troops), and I don't know what you will do.

In order to prevent Zhang Qingshan from continuing to ask questions, and exposing these angry questions that dragged his feet, Hu Yingze coughed twice, and when he saw Zhang Qingshan looking over, he said with a straight face: "You don't gag with me, and continue the topic just now...... By the way, where did I go?"

"Your political commissar Hu criticized me just now, the comrades are working hard, and I will pull everyone's hind legs......" Zhang Qingshan waved his hand, made it to the chair, poured himself a glass of water, and said with a smile.

He didn't have any hope that Lao Jiang would give them material rewards, just now with a little expectation, and now, the expectation is shattered, and he has nothing to mind. After all, everyone knows that Lao Chiang only recognized the establishment of three divisions for the Eighth Route Army, and did not recognize anything else. Even if these so-called militia organizations in their mouths, no matter how big the battle is, they will not admit that it was the Eighth Route Army. Because in this way, not only can we avoid giving material rewards and so on, but the greater benefit is that we can confuse the public, fool the people of the whole country, and make people who don't know the truth think that this is really a militia organization, and it is in response to Lao Jiang's call and the achievements made under the leadership of Lao Jiang.

"Oh~! Lao Hu sat beside Zhang Qingshan, looked at Zhang Qingshan, and said with a straight face: "You see, the headquarters and the division headquarters have given us a lot of rewards and recognition, and the artillery company has been named and commended by the whole division...... But look at it, when everyone was happily accepting the congratulations, you were the only one who was named and criticized, and it was also the treatment of the whole division. ”

"If you report it, you will report it, and Lao Tzu doesn't care. Zhang Qingshan put on a hob meat posture that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, and shouted disdainfully.

"You fuck off!"

"Yes!" Zhang Qingshan immediately jumped up, saluted with a smile, and quickly drove away. Hu Yingze was stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Come back!"

Zhang Qingshan turned around and walked back with a hippie smile, sat back in his chair with a big grin, and smiled at Hu Yingze: "Old Hu, are you angry?"

was asked by Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze really sighed with laughter, shook his head, and said: "I was so angry with you, I almost fell for you, and let your kid fool you so easily." ”

Zhang Qingshan smiled, grabbed the cigarette on the table, gave Hu Yingze a cigarette diligently, lit it, and lit one for himself.

"The division commander personally sent a telegram and scolded you so badly, and I will bear it for you...... The old head of the regiment also sent a telegram, and I also suffered the same scolding. Why, now that Lao Tzu said two words to you, you still have a temper, right?"

Seeing that Hu Yingze became more and more angry the more he talked, obviously he really collected a lot of anger for himself, Zhang Qingshan had to bow his hand to Hu Yingze, and was about to open his mouth to thank him, but he remembered something, his eyes widened, and he asked angrily: "Lao Hu, you were originally Lao Tzu's partner, and you were wronged by kicking Lao Tzu, what's wrong?"

Hu Yingze raised his hand angrily and pointed at him, and he didn't put it down for a long time.

Zhang Qingshan said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I admit my mistake, can't I thank you?"

Hu Yingze really had no choice but to sigh and smoke with a sigh.

But before Zhang Qingshan could apologize further, Hu Yingze said: "Lao Zhang, I'll be honest with you, I think your punishment is light, of course, this is inseparable from the current situation of our assault regiment." But, you know, what I'm most struggling with now is that no matter what I say, the division headquarters just doesn't agree to let you be the deputy commander, not even a staff officer......"

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhang Qingshan with a frown, and said: "You also know that I am good at political work, and even you have been forced to be familiar with logistics, but I really can't lead troops to fight! Let alone an excellent commander like you...... Originally, I still thought that even if I demoted you to an ordinary soldier, as long as I didn't shoot you directly, we would have a chance, and then, if I pleaded for you to be a deputy regiment commander or staff officer, in this way, you can still give advice or command, it's just a big deal for me to be famous. But now, ...... Hey~!What do you want me to do?"

I don't know what the division headquarters thinks, anyway, the road is far away, and it is estimated that it is impossible to send a regiment commander directly, but it is still easy to promote one from the assault regiment, but the division headquarters just didn't move, but let Hu Yingze continue to be the political commissar and acting head of the regiment, shoulder to shoulder!

Zhang Qingshan puffed out a puff of smoke violently, although he was choking so much that tears were about to come out, he still looked at Hu Yingze incredulously.

After a short while, he asked, "Old Hu, when did you become like this? I don't even understand such a simple truth?"

Hu Yingze looked at Zhang Qingshan seriously and shook his head seriously like a good baby.

"Isn't this obvious! The division headquarters just left this position for me, but it's hard to say it clearly......" Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Of course, it is also possible that the division headquarters is inspecting the new regiment commander...... However, no matter what you say, as long as I am still in the assault regiment for one day, no matter whether the division headquarters allows me to be the deputy regiment commander or a staff officer, and as long as the division headquarters does not send people here, we can have policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom! If you don't say it, everyone doesn't say it, I am clearly an instructor of the assault company, and in fact I am hiding behind your back to give you advice, who will dare to make trouble?"

"Makes sense. ”

Seeing Hu Yingze suddenly smile and nod, Zhang Qingshan suddenly thought of something, thought about it carefully, and immediately slapped the table, pointed at Hu Yingze and scolded: "Okay! Old Hu, you are afraid that I will pick a child, and you deliberately dig a pit and wait for me to jump by myself, right?"

"This is what you want to dance~!ha! ha......"

Very simply, with Hu Yingze's experience, how could he not even understand this truth? The reason why he pretended to be confused was that Zhang Qingshan himself took the initiative to send him to the door and become a military advisor for himself.

Looking at Hu Yingze's triumphant smile, Zhang Qingshan immediately blew his beard and glared, looking like he was about to go berserk, but he had no way to take Hu Yingze......
