The two looked at it for a long time, and then said with some uncertainty: "This, it seems to be a map?" Li Qinghe nodded, "It's indeed a map." The two of you can tell me where we are now, or point out where we are. ”

The two looked at each other again, and then showed an embarrassed smile: "Squad leader, we don't know a single big character, how can we understand something as tall as a map." ”

"It's because you two don't know one big word, that's why you two learn to write." Li Qinghe said with some hatred, "In the future, wars will become more and more intense and more advanced, and our quality needs to be rapidly improved." I don't even know a map, how can I lead my troops to fight. ”

Zhang Niu scratched his head, "Squad leader, we are just a little soldier, leading the troops to fight or something, it has nothing to do with us." ”

"Ridiculous!" Li Qinghe's eyes were solemn, "Now, our Eighth Route Army has more than 30,000 people. In the future, our troops may be 300,000 or 3 million, do you think a veteran like you will still be just a small soldier? ”

"Don't take advantage of the present to hurry up and study, increase your own heritage, and command a company or even a battalion of troops in the future, because you can't read and write, you can't fight, is this like a word?!"

"Remember, you two, there is a good saying: 'A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier.'" If you don't have the goal of becoming a general, you will lose the motivation to move forward, and then you will be waiting for death. You two told me you want to be like that? ”

A reprimand made the two of them bow their heads. Li Qinghe's words went straight to the depths of their hearts like knives, making them very ashamed. When did he become such a conservative person, the most important thing for the Red Army was progress.

When they raised their heads, the eyes of the two changed from blank to determined. "Class leader, we want to learn to read. We don't want to be left behind, we don't want to know nothing. ”

Seeing this expression, Li Qinghe nodded with satisfaction, "That's what it looks like." Remember, in life, you have to have a little pursuit, if you don't even have a pursuit, then it is no different from eating waste waiting for death. ”

Next, the two began to learn to read and write under the teaching of Li Qinghe. Learning to write and read is not an easy task, even though both are only 18 years old and much more receptive to new knowledge than many people in their thirties or children of several years. But without a complete education, it is still difficult for them to accept the new knowledge of literacy.

Two hours of study only allowed the two of them to learn 15 words. Although it is not much, it is a huge breakthrough for Li Qinghe, so to speak, after learning to write and read, they have the potential to become high-quality officers.

Of course, Li Qinghe himself is also complaining about the trouble of traditional Chinese characters. Too many strokes, too inconvenient to write. It is indeed too difficult to teach people such words. At this time, he was so grateful to the philologists who began to simplify Chinese characters after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and how important it was for the popularization of literacy.

However, he is not ready to introduce any simplified characters, after all, this era, has not yet reached the moment when simplified characters are born, and if they appear, they will only become freaks, so they will wait until after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

After saying this, Li Qinghe did not let the two leave, but took out two guns from behind the door and placed them on the table.

"Today, I'm not only going to teach you literacy, but also one thing, gun maintenance." As he spoke, Li Qinghe skillfully disassembled the two guns. All the parts are neatly arranged on the table, and nothing is missing.

"You two, look, the one on the left is my own 38 big cover. On the right is the 38 big cover that you captured from the Japanese veterans, what do you think is the problem? ”

The two of them carefully checked the firearms, and then said: "The guns of the Japanese veterans are cleaner than this one." ”

Li Qinghe nodded, "The maintenance of firearms is very important, the quality of a gun is not only related to the performance of this gun, but also related to the maintenance of this gun." ”

"A very well-maintained gun is generally in relatively good shape. The shooting accuracy is also very high, and a good maintenance of a gun can greatly extend the service life of a gun and reduce the wear and tear caused by rifling due to shooting. ”

"But squad leader, we have always captured it directly, and it shouldn't be too important whether we maintain it or not, after all, if it's broken, just pick it up directly from the Japanese army or the puppet army." Zhang Niu was a little puzzled.

"Zhang Niu, you remember, you are a soldier, and your gun is your everything, your life. You can't easily throw away your gun at any time. Li Qinghe said loudly, his expression was very serious, he was very dissatisfied with Zhang Niu's attitude towards guns.

Zhang Niu saw Li Qinghe looking at him sternly, and lowered his head in shame again.

"Zhang Niu, the gun in your hand is not a simple tool, it is an extension of your body and will. Without them, you are powerless against the invaders. That's why I emphasize that you should take good care of your firearms and maintain your firearms, so that they can play their due style on the battlefield. ”

Seeing that Zhang Niu had accepted his lesson, Li Qinghe retracted his gaze and began to explain the gun in his hand. The storage of firearms is not simple, and it is even very troublesome. From disassembly, to wiping parts, to cleaning the chamber. Each step is very tedious and requires patience.

Although there is no kind of oil for gun maintenance, and there are no related maintenance tools, Li Qinghe still wipes the gun step by step, and finally wipes it to a smooth and new feeling.

Such an attitude made the two of them a little embarrassed, the southern expedition and the northern war were too long, the rifle was a consumable, and it was used if it could be obtained, and it was not used if it was not, and they never thought about the cleaning and maintenance of the rifle. Today, I am really ashamed to see my squad leader treat his firearms like this.

Li Qinghe also sighed to himself, the Red Army has been fighting since its birth, coupled with the backwardness of the domestic training level and quality, there is almost no maintenance of firearms, so the wear and tear of firearms is very high.

Without the maintenance of the guns, the guns wore out quickly, the rifling was quickly smoothed, and the soldiers had to fight the enemy with rifles without rifles. This is a lack of quality, and it is not even more important to firearms.

This is actually a backwardness of the times. It's not about touting foreign countries or whatever. In fact, from the perspective of the Vietnam War, the U.S. military's maintenance of equipment has been very advanced, and although the original M16 assault rifle of the U.S. military in the Vietnam War was full of problems, the actual effect was still relatively good in the hands of the U.S. military. It's the high level of maintenance that makes this not very good firearm still be able to shine in its own right.

The maintenance of firearms is very important, we can pursue the high adaptability and high stability of firearms, but we also have to take care of firearms and our own equipment.

Moreover, the equipment of the future will only become more and more advanced and sophisticated. Such equipment must be carefully cared for and maintained, and it must not be taken roughly. Therefore, Li Qinghe decided to cultivate the habit of maintaining equipment in the troops from now on.

After wiping it up, Li Qinghe easily assembled the gun and put it aside. He took two guns and placed them in front of them, and threw two more rags. "Got it, let's try it for yourselves."

Li Qinghe's slow motion was caught in the eyes of the two, and the two also began to disassemble the gun and clean it up. Although they were very rusty and made a lot of wrong moves, they all began to change a little under Li Qinghe's correction, and seeing their guns cleaned up, the mood of the two seemed to be much better.
