Separate regiment stationed.

Regiment headquarters.

Although the soldiers in the company were relieved, instructor Li Wenjie still went to the regiment headquarters to plead guilty.

Li Wenjie told Kong Jie in detail about his dereliction of duty in command when attacking the stronghold in the middle section of Xiaotong Road, as well as the accidents that occurred in the middle, as well as the contradictions between the soldiers of the National Army and the Eighth Route Army who surrendered to Chengcheng in the future.

Kong Jie listened attentively.

"Regiment commander, that's all for the specific situation, this military operation is generally smooth, the main force has taken the stronghold in time, and the devil's reinforcements don't even have time to support.

But there were undeserved casualties in our company, eleven soldiers were sacrificed, and more than 20 were wounded. ”

Kong Jie was silent for a moment, Jiulian's sacrifice this time was indeed heart-wrenching.

Although the commander of the Ninth Company had already reported the situation to him before, he couldn't help but feel sad when he heard it again.

It's just that the matter has come to this point, even if he shoots Li Wenjie, what's the use?

What's more, the commander of the Ninth Company also emphasized the outstanding performance of instructor Li Wenjie in the process of fighting.

In the end, he said that the fault was on him, the company commander, and had nothing to do with instructor Li Wenjie.

These two people are interesting, as if they have discussed it, they both take the sin on themselves, and the relationship between them seems to have eased a lot.

Easing his mood, Kong Jie said: "Wen Jie, there is a sentence that you said very right, merit is merit, fault is fault, your mistakes, I do have to punish you." ”

"It's just a matter of punishment later, let me ask you first, if this operation is repeated, how will you prepare?"

Li Wenjie replied: "First, before the operation, I will do a good job of ideological mobilization and explain clearly the situations that may arise in the battle, at least there will be no situation in which the soldiers will retreat on their own during the offensive." ”

"Second, all firearms and equipment should be carefully inspected before the battle, especially important artillery fire such as grenadiers, if I had checked before the battle, I would not have found that the grenadiers were broken at the critical time, resulting in the support of smoke grenades being delayed a while."

"Third, I will carefully consider the selection of people who pretend to be people to enter the stronghold, this is a very important part, and there must be no mistakes."

"Fourth, in fact, the intelligence reconnaissance before the start of the battle should have been done more fully, the devils hid machine guns and grenadiers in the stronghold, which we should have taken into account."

Kong Jie nodded approvingly, "Yes, that's good, it's good, but what I want to tell you is that if we other cadres come over, if we say it again after the incident happens, it can be said very well, and it's not a glorious thing to be an afterthought." ”

"In fact, you and the commander of the ninth company did not have any major omissions in command, and the flaws mainly appeared in the specific implementation link, didn't you find that this is the gap between theoretical command and execution?"

"Yes!" Li Wenjie responded.

"So do you know what it's called if execution and theoretical command can't be combined?"

"That's called talking on paper, you are a scholar, you know better than me who Zhao Kuo is, do you want to be the second Zhao Kuo?"

"But, Commander, I'm confused right now, what the hell is execution? What do I need to do? ”

Kong Jie thought for a moment and explained: "Execution is the ability to execute, and it is easy to explain it simply, that is, you give orders, and the soldiers carry out your orders, and they can complete your orders perfectly according to the situation you envision in your mind." ”

"And how to make the soldiers listen to you, not only because the orders of the rank listen to you temporarily, but also from the heart, this is what you have to do as an instructor!"

"Please clear up the doubts, the head of the regiment!"

"It's very simple, the execution needs to be mobilized, the same two instructors, the first instructor, the soldiers respect him very much, are familiar with him, everyone can get along on weekdays, what the instructor thinks, what those fighters think, they are very clear to each other."

As for the other instructor, he is very unfamiliar with the soldiers below, and the soldiers only listen to his orders because of their rank.

Do you think that after these two instructors also give combat orders, which unit will have stronger execution? ”

"The first instructor, of course." Li Wenjie said without hesitation.

"Do you understand?"

"Commander, I know, compare your heart to your heart, how you treat the soldiers on weekdays, the soldiers will repay you.

But I've really done it, I've done a lot, I've taught the soldiers a lot of things, I've taught them to read and learn, and I've learned culture, but I don't know why, I always feel that there is still a gap between me and the soldiers.

The composition of the team of the Ninth Company is very complicated, there are veterans, new recruits, and the national army who has surrendered, and now there are some puppet soldiers who have been captured.

Commander, I'm really a little confused now, and even a little skeptical, if I can do a good job as an instructor.

It seems that your choice is right, I can't even do a good job as an instructor, what other political commissar do you mention? ”

Kong Jie shook his head and said, "That's it, I'll take you to a place, and by the way, I'll take you to see something." ”

As he spoke, Kong Jie greeted the monk, left the regiment headquarters with Li Wenjie, and went straight to the first company station.

Li Wenjie was a little puzzled, but Kong Jie didn't mean to explain, and he didn't ask too much, so he followed all the way.

Kong Jie seemed to be in control of the time, and when the three of them arrived at the place, the soldiers of the first company happened to have dinner.

In order not to disturb the soldiers of the first company, Kong Jie did not walk over, but just took Li Wenjie and the others and watched from a distance.

The queue for cooking was very long, and the soldiers of the cooking squad took out three or four wooden barrels, and the line formed three long lines.

Kong Jie pointed to a person at the end of the line and said, "Look at that comrade, is there anything special about it?" ”

The monk and Li Wenjie looked over together, and the middle-aged soldier was at the end of the line, wearing an old military uniform with a lot of patches.

Not long ago, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong successively got 500 sets of military uniforms from the quilt factory.

Many soldiers in the regiment have changed into new uniforms, and it is rare to see such a shabby old uniform.

But it's not too surprising, many soldiers are more economical, even if they are issued with new military uniforms, they are reluctant to wear them, or use the old military uniforms on top, when to show their cheeks, it can be regarded as reimbursement.

What puzzled the monk and Li Wenjie was that the middle-aged comrade had five bowls in his hands.

Many fighters seemed to want him to be in the front, but the middle-aged comrade refused.

Then, the middle-aged warrior who finally took turns to eat, he beat all five or six bowls into the rice, and then took the empty wooden barrel and gradually walked away.

Seeing Li Wenjie's puzzled face, Kong Jie said: "The soldiers of the first company are eating, if you are curious, go and ask yourself!" Just ask about the middle-aged comrade, and I think you'll get something out of it. ”

"Yes!"

Li Wenjie replied and walked over to a few soldiers who were squatting and grilling rice, "Comrade, hello, I am Li Wenjie, the instructor of the Ninth Company, because I am new to our regiment, so I am not very familiar with it, can I ask you some questions?" ”

"Hello instructor!"

The soldiers who were cooking quickly got up and shouted.

Li Wenjie smiled: "You're welcome, you continue to eat yours, let's just chat." ”

"By the way, who is that comrade with the barrel?"

Several soldiers who were cooking heard Li Wenjie's inquiry, and smiled warmly together, "Oh, that's our instructor." ”

The word "we" was used very smoothly by several soldiers, and when the instructor of the first company was mentioned, everyone's words were full of admiration.

Li Wenjie was surprised: "It turns out that he is Instructor Jiang." ”

Li Wenjie, the instructor of the first company, had heard that he was a very famous old instructor in the regiment, and he had done quite well in political work, his name was Jiang Song, but he had never met anyone.

Li Wenjie only now understands that the head of the regiment deliberately pointed out Instructor Jiang to himself.

But what is the intention of the head of the regiment? Is it to let yourself take a look at how Instructor Jiang guides the fighters and how he gets along with them?

Then I should really take a look at what shortcomings I have done as an instructor compared to other Jiang instructors.

Thinking of this, Li Wenjie asked again: "Strange, I saw Instructor Jiang take five or six bowls and carry them in a wooden barrel, what is he going to do?" ”

"Oh, didn't we just fight in our regiment not long ago, some soldiers were injured in the legs, and they are not well, and they are temporarily recuperating in Tongpu, and the instructor helped them to eat, this is to send them food."

"Didn't you arrange for other soldiers to deliver food?" Li Wenjie asked.

A soldier smiled and said: "Instructor Li, you don't know, this is the old tradition of our instructors, as long as there are not many injured soldiers and they are busy, our instructors are all hands-on." ”

"It's like the situation where our instructor delivers food, when the wounded are all healed, when will it be over."

"Yes, the instructor said, everyone is hungry! At this time, no one was happy to let anyone deliver the food, so he went by himself. ”

"Because of this, our instructor is basically the last one to eat in the whole company every time."

"When I ate, the food was almost cold, and the instructor had a bad stomach because of this, so we persuaded him many times, but he just didn't listen."

"Hehe, in addition, our instructor has a tradition, like to help the recruits cook, the instructor said, the recruits are not familiar with the environment, and they don't know how much to eat appropriately, he always has to help lead the way, so our recruits and instructors have helped to cook."

"But it's not, when I first came, the bowls and chopsticks were all found by the instructor, and the hot meal was brought to you, I was a little embarrassed at the time, but our instructor said: Eat slowly, don't choke, I will help you cook tomorrow, listen to ......"

"Yes, I've always had the old problem of kicking the quilt, and once someone tucked the quilt corner for me in the middle of the night, I opened my eyes in a daze, and it turned out to be our instructor."

"When a comrade is sick, the instructor is always the first to appear in front of him, and everyone laughs and says, our instructor is omnipotent, as long as you need it, he will be the first to appear."

"The instructor is very friendly to people, can give you a sense of family, in front of the instructor, you really don't have to hide anything, if you have anything to say, just say it outside, you are happy, the instructor is happy with you, you are unhappy, the instructor will come to coax you and comfort you."

"The instructor's memory is good! He remembered the names of more than 100 soldiers in our company, even including age, personality, and what he had experienced. ”

"By the way, I remember that our instructor also has a notebook, and I remember that it is all the performance of the soldiers of our company on the battlefield! Once the instructor showed it to me, guess how do you remember it? Hehe, it was written, Zhang Erya, joined the army for one year and two months, eliminated two devils, one puppet army, fought bravely, had a stable psychological quality, and was a good soldier! Our instructor praised me! ”

"What are you? Tell you, our instructor praised me a lot when he wrote about me! ”

"I'm not a lot of them!"

"Our instructor is still very good at fighting! Every time there is a combat mission in the company, our company commander discusses everything with the instructor! ”

"That's for sure, our company commander admires the instructor's ability."

"When I went to the battlefield, the instructor ran fast when I charged!"

……

……

The soldiers were talking nonsense, and the food in the bowl seemed to have forgotten to eat, and after talking for a while, a squad leader remembered Li Wenjie on the side, and hurriedly shouted: "Okay, okay, what are you doing so much?" Instructor Li is still there! You guys are so rude, why did you forget Instructor Li? ”

"It's okay, it's okay!" Li Wenjie smiled and asked again, "I want to know, what do you all think of you Instructor Jiang?" ”

"Do you need to talk about that? Our instructor is the best instructor in the whole group. ”

"Ahem, you kid can't talk? Instructor Li is still here! The squad leader scolded, but looking at the squad leader's expression, he clearly agreed with the soldier's point of view.

"Our instructor, there is really nothing to say, not to say more, just our company, there is no soldier who does not admire and like our instructor in his heart."

"That's it!" The warriors responded with a rambling voice.

…… When Li Wenjie left, the soldiers of the first company, who seemed to be unsatisfied with their instructors before, gathered in a circle and continued to talk about the goodness of their instructors while eating.

Li Wenjie walked back step by step, looking a little stunned.

Young people, I was a little unconvinced in my heart.

Li Wenjie was still trying to imagine that he had done a lot in Jiulian these days, and he didn't believe that he could be much worse than Instructor Jiang.

The results are out, and I am served!

If what he did for the soldiers of the Ninth Company was a small thumbnail cover, then what Instructor Jiang did for the soldiers of the First Company had to be the size of a human head.

There's no comparison.

From afar, Kong Jie saw Li Wenjie's distraction, and when Li Wenjie came over, Kong Jie asked with a smile: "How is it, do you have an answer in your heart?" ”

Li Wenjie nodded, "Yes, head of the group, I'm too self-righteous, I know where I'm wrong." ”

"Let's go back then!" Kong Jiedao.

Monk: "......"

I don't understand what these two are doing.

"Yes!" Li Wenjie answered, and was about to leave, but reminded again: "Commander, you haven't punished me yet!" ”

Kong Jie said: "It's good to say, do a good job as your instructor, if you don't do it well, I won't allow you to leave the Ninth Company for one day, and this is your punishment." ”

Li Wenjie was stunned for a moment, saluted, and said solemnly: "Yes, I understand, thank you for the teachings of the head of the regiment!" ”

After speaking, Li Wenjie strode in the direction of the Ninth Company's station, his steps were firm and powerful.
