"I announce that the first commendation meeting of the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment (representatives of Sanqiao County, Hongdong County, and Longfeng County) has officially begun!"

At dusk, the first commendation meeting of the assault regiment since its establishment was held on the playground of Qinglong Mountain. The assault regiment was 1,287 people, and except for the officers on duty, the rest of the previous 169 people, all participated. Even the villagers of the former Qinglong Village were crowded in the corners - it was the first time they had seen more than a thousand people gathered in their previous small village.

When Tian Guozhong, the host of the meeting, announced the opening of the conference, Qinglongshan burst into warm applause.

"The first item of the conference is to invite Comrade Hu Yingze, political commissar of the Eighth Route Army Assault Regiment, to speak. Everyone is welcome."

Amid the warm applause, Hu Yingze, who was sitting on the makeshift platform, stood up, pressed down with both hands, and after the applause below disappeared, he said with a smile: "It's not easy! Comrades!"

Sure enough, he is engaged in political work, his ideological consciousness is high, and his mouth is powerful, and the first sentence of his mouth attracted everyone's attention.

"Our Communist Party started from scratch, our Eighth Route Army started from scratch, and our assault regiment started from scratch: from the initial commando, to the later assault company, and then to the current assault regiment, how much suffering we have experienced, how many comrades we have sacrificed, how much sweat and tears we have paid, today, our assault regiment can finally say to the world with our head held high: Our Eighth Route Army assault regiment came to Shaanxi to defend the country to fight the little Japanese devils...... What do we rely on for all this? We are the people's army, the people's soldiers......

In the applause below, Hu Yingze said a lot of inspiring words and looked forward to the future. In the end, he concluded: "I will not talk about the great truth, but to put it bluntly: If we compare our hearts with our hearts, we will have a heart-to-heart with the people, and the people will naturally share life and death with us; but on the contrary, if we regard the people as grass mustard, the people will inevitably regard us as enemies! Therefore, we must remember one point: The interests of the people are above all else!"

As soon as Hu Yingze's voice fell, Zhang Qingshan took the lead in standing up and applauding, and the comrades stood up and applauded one after another.

At this time, Xiang Yujie, who had just been appointed as the leader of the propaganda team, was one of the twenty political work cadres who had been sent to the assault regiment by the organization, and one of the three female political work cadres. Stand up and raise your arms and shout: "Long live the Communist Party of China!"

The people below also raised their arms with excited faces and shouted: "Long live the Communist Party of China!"

"Long live the Eighth Route Army!"

"Long live the Eighth Route Army!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

"Down with Japanese imperialism!"

......

After a series of slogans, Tian Guozhong continued to preside over the meeting.

"Next, I would like to invite Comrade Zhang Qingshan, commander of our assault regiment, to speak. ”

After the applause below disappeared, Zhang Qingshan smiled: "Just my clumsy tongue, if you want me to speak, it is embarrassing for me." ”

In the midst of a burst of laughter below, Zhang Qingshan continued: "However, since you are standing here, then I will say a few words. ”

"Comrades, my request to you is just one sentence: 'Under the leadership of the party, rely on the people, obey orders, train hard, and fight bravely to kill the enemy! Alright, I'm done. ”

There was silence below, no one expected that Zhang Qingshan's speech would be so simple and clear...... In fact, Zhang Qingshan was thinking about the content of the evening meeting at this time, after all, as Hu Yingze reminded this morning: Some people are a little arrogant and complacent, and even develop an arrogant mentality, thinking that little devils are nothing more than this, but they don't know the truth that arrogant soldiers will be defeated. And the pride that Zhang Qing wants to instill in everyone is definitely not like this, but should be 'strategically despise the opponent, tactically attach importance to the opponent, even if it is just an enemy, the lion must fight the rabbit.' Therefore, Zhang Qingshan attaches great importance to the evening conference, and at the same time, he must consider how to not only pour a scoop of cold water on everyone's empowerment, but also not hurt everyone's enthusiasm.

However, when everyone came to their senses, warm applause rang out again.

"This brings me to the third item of the General Assembly. ”

This time, Tian Guozhong is going to speak by himself.

"Comrades, as we all know, on our previous revolutionary road, there have been too many sacrifices, too many sacrifices, too many fearlessness, but there have also been some betrayals, some ups and downs, and some thorns...... For example, the revolutionary comrades in Sanqiao County, Tongren County, and Longfeng County have gone through countless hardships and dangers and paid too much blood and sweat, but they have finally planted the flame of revolution in this area...... Now, with warm applause, we invite the representatives of all the comrades in these three counties to come to the stage to receive our salute and cheers, and let us also hear how these comrades carried the revolution through to the end. Everyone is welcome!"

Tian Guozhong took the lead in applauding, and the comrades also applauded warmly.

Each of the three counties sent a representative to the stage, and Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze, and Qi Zixuan organized the three to wear big red flowers to the three people.

Zhang Qingshan happened to be facing Li Hua.

While wearing a big red flower for Li Hua, he said with a smile: "Comrade Li Hua, in the future, the local work in Sanqiao County will be handed over to you, the burden on your shoulders is heavy, I hope you will make persistent efforts......

"Please rest assured, the regiment commander, I will definitely do my best to mobilize the masses and cooperate with the many little devils in our assault regiment. ”

After the big red flower was put on, the three deputies spoke separately, and the content of what they said was similar to what Li Hua had just said.

Political Commissar Hu has already made this very clear just now, so I will not say anything more. But what I want to say is that our Eighth Route Army started from scratch and cannot do without the strong support and support of the people...... Please invite the old head of Qinglong Village, Mr. Zhang Degui. ”

In the process of Zhang Degui stepping onto the podium, Tian Guozhong also said sensationally: "Without the generosity of Mr. Zhang and the villagers of Qinglong Village, we would not have been able to gain a foothold in Qinglong Mountain; without everyone's help, we would not have been able to obtain such a remarkable fresh fruit so quickly; without the support of the people, we would not have been able to develop Qinglong Mountain so well......

The old man Zhang Degui's excited beard is automatic in the wind, and he walks on crutches wherever he goes on weekdays, but now, the old man is not only gone, but also walks like flying, and Hu Yingze, who was about to wear a big red flower for him, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him and helped him by the way.

"Political Commissar Hu, how can you be so old, how can you make your chiefs so loved, it's really ...... What a ......."

Seeing that Old Man Zhang's excited eyes were a little rosy, and he couldn't go on, Hu Yingze held his hand with a smile and said with a smile: "Old man, we in the Eighth Route Army want to thank you, our assault regiment wants to thank you, and every one of our anti-Japanese fighters wants to thank you......"

Seeing that Old Man Zhang was so excited that his body trembled slightly, for fear that the old man would be too excited and there would be any accidents, Hu Yingze hurriedly changed his words: "Old man, you are representing hundreds of thousands of people in our three counties to receive the award, and this credit not only belongs to you alone, but also to the thousands of people behind you...... You always stand firm, I want to salute you on behalf of the Eighth Route Army!"

"All the soldiers, stand up!" Hu Yingze shouted, and then, after the soldiers all stood up, he took a step back, looked at Old Man Zhang, and shouted: "Salute to the great Chinese people, stand up!"

More than 1,000 right hands raised at the same time and saluted! Salute Old Man Peng, salute all the people, and also say to the little Japanese devil -- The Chinese people are brave and fearless people who can never be defeated or overwhelmed, and they are a great nation with a long history of 5,000 years, who will never give in, resist oppression, and defend national dignity.

After Hu Yingze helped Mr. Zhang down, Tian Guozhong continued to preside over the meeting.

"This operation against Weijia Wharf is the first time that our assault regiment has fought against Japanese devils. Although there was no face-to-face battle with the little devils in the battle, we embodied the spirit of our Eighth Route Army and everyone in our assault regiment who would never give in when facing the little devils...... In this operation, we dealt a heavy blow to the supply lines of the little devils, and at the cost of zero casualties, we played the prestige of our assault regiment and captured a large number of weapons and ammunition...... shocked those wall grasses, let them and the little devils know that our assault group will never succumb to any invader, and also let them understand that anyone who wants to be a traitor and two devils will definitely not end well...... Next, we would like to applaud the representatives of the heroic and fearless combat heroes who were embodied in this battle. They are ......"

Represented by six fighters such as the second stunned, they took the stage to accept the big red flower.

Zhang Qingshan, Hu Yingze and the four battalion commanders respectively wore big red flowers to these six heroic soldiers.

And Tian Guozhong on the side also said sensationally: "Comrades, they are the representatives of the heroes of our assault regiment in this operation...... If they can be rewarded by you today, then tomorrow, you will also have the opportunity to stand on this podium and receive your blessings...... Comrades, do you envy?"

"Envy!"

"Do you want to stand on this podium and receive everyone's blessings?"

"Yes!"

"Rest assured, this podium is reserved for heroes, for those who are prepared. As long as everyone trains hard and kills the enemy bravely, everyone has a chance. ”

Then, it was the second stunned man who spoke on behalf of the fighters.

However, the second stunned guy was really flute, standing on it for a long time, his face was red, but he couldn't say anything, and finally, in the midst of everyone's laughter, he shyly saluted everyone and ran off the stage in a hurry, causing everyone to laugh even more. Even Liu Bing, who was the commander of the second-stunned battalion, smiled helplessly: "This guy, dog meat can't be on the table! Usually bragging and farting, that is the first in the world, but now in front of everyone, he can't even let out a fart." It's too embarrassing for our battalion, look back and see how Lao Tzu cleaned him up...... Damn, next time you dare to embarrass Lao Tzu like this, Lao Tzu will beat him up first. Let's talk to you first, when the time comes, beating him won't be a violation of discipline!"

Everyone who heard it rolled their eyes at him: What you guy said is not sour, but look at your eyes, it is obviously pride! After thinking about it carefully, everyone looked at Liu Bing angrily: Don't you mean that this guy will still come to the stage next time the commendation meeting is held? Damn, isn't this an indirect indication that your battalion is better than others, and even a 'dumb person' can be a hero one after another, where do you put our battalions? Are we all eating dry food? It's too annoying.

can look at Liu Bing's slightly raised head, obviously, the arrogance in Liu Bing's bones has flare up again.

After the commendation meeting, the soldiers should do whatever they wanted, but Zhang Qingshan immediately convened a meeting of cadres at and above the company level of the assault regiment, which was attended by representatives of the guerrilla brigades of the three counties and counties......
