march to victory

"What's the point? What I received was brought over by me. It doesn't make sense if it doesn't belong to my third row."

"Old Qi, don't you have any shame in talking? What do you mean that the ones you receive belong to your platoon? According to what you say, the division commander is here, and you receive the reception. The division commander is your soldier?" Li Honghui, the second platoon leader, sarcastically disdainfully. After Qi Zixuan, the leader of the third platoon, smiled at Tian Guozhong: "I am Li Honghui, the leader of the second platoon. From now on, you will be the soldier of our second platoon..."

Before he finished speaking, Wang Wu, the deputy company commander and the first platoon leader, quit: "Old Li, you are wrong. What do you mean he will be your second platoon soldier from now on? You put us in the first and third platoons. Where did it go? Let me tell you, whether it's seniority or military merit, we all occupy one word in a row..."

Seeing them arguing endlessly, Zhang Qingshan quit: If you have eyes but don't know Mount Tai, why did you go so early?If you want to be like this earlier, I really can't open my mouth, but now that I have opened my mouth, do you think my original intention is to recommend him to your platoon?

"Okay, stop arguing."

Seeing that I said a word, I told the three of them to shut up, and then everyone looked over in unison.Zhang Qingshan smiled at everyone with satisfaction: "Old Tian is a person with great ability, it is a pity that he is overqualified in the platoon..." Looking at Hu Yingze and Peng Peng, he said: "Old Hu, Lao Peng, I think Lao Tian just came to the assault company, and he is still not familiar with the real situation and nature of the assault company. Do you think this is okay? First arrange him in the company headquarters as a staff officer, and after he is familiar with everything, ask him to be the deputy company commander , just like Lao Peng, he can manage and arrest everything, but he is mainly responsible for assisting Lao Hu... What do you think?"

When everyone heard about being a staff officer, they were a little surprised that the company also had the position of staff officer?But after listening to the words later, I realized: being a staff officer is just a transition, and the main thing is to let him be the deputy company commander.

The comrades were surprised: looking at the face and tone of the company commander, it didn't look like a joke. Could it be that this guy really has such a great ability?Is it worth the company commander's effort to promote him?

Tian Guozhong himself was terrified: although he had never really come into contact with the commando, he often heard other comrades talk about this mysterious and special unit, and he knew something about the real situation of the commando.Not to mention a special unit like an assault company, even in an ordinary company, who has ever heard that one can be a deputy company commander?Moreover, although I was talking nonsense just now, all the people sitting here are smart people, and they all know that they must have made a mistake before they were 'assigned' to the special forces of the Assault Company, which is not a thorn in the way. In Zhang Qingshan's face, no one can point it out.

After thinking about it, Tian Guozhong felt that if he didn't tell the truth at this time, he might not have a chance to explain it in the future, so he quickly shook his hand and said, "Old Zhang, this is not good. To tell you the truth, I did something wrong, and we Tian The deputy head kicked me over with one kick. If you promote me like this right away, then..."

"That's not that. We look at people in a surprise attack. One is principle, and the other is ability. Since you have turned your back on the dark and turned to the bright, and you can become the deputy company commander in the 49th Regiment, it means that you have passed the organizational inspection. In principle, there is no problem; as for your ability, I have seen it with my own eyes, absolutely no problem."

What surprised Tian Guozhong even more happened: Ordinarily, Zhang Qingshan is just a character in the past tense, but what he said, everyone present gave face, even the instructor was no exception.

Peng Peng spoke first: "To be honest, although this is the first time Comrade Tian Guozhong and I met, I don't know Comrade Guozhong's situation, but I know the company commander. Since the company commander recommended him so strongly, it can be seen that Comrade Guozhong's ability is still outstanding, otherwise, the company commander would not be so pleasantly surprised. Therefore, I agree with the company commander's proposal, first let Comrade Guozhong be a staff officer to adapt to our assault company, and then the company commander The specific position of Comrade Zhong will be appointed after consulting the superior."

Peng Peng's temperament was really calm: what he said sounded perfect, but in fact he only agreed with Tian Guozhong to be a staff officer. As for whether he should be the deputy company commander in the future, he pushed the matter to his superiors so that everyone could advance and retreat.

As soon as this remark came out, everyone naturally agreed, and the matter was settled like this.Although Tian Guozhong also understood the original meaning of Peng Peng's words, he was still very moved, especially for Zhang Qingshan's recommendation, which gave birth to a feeling of gratitude.And this also laid a solid foundation for their subsequent cooperation.This is also why many people couldn't figure it out: Tian Guozhong was wrong to be the battalion commander, but he willingly ran to Zhang Qingshan as the deputy commander of the guerrilla brigade.

The atmosphere was great, and when everyone was talking freely, they suddenly heard an exclamation from the room, and then there was a small amount of discussion, and soon, one of the seven babies came running in a panic: "Company commander, I ...I did something wrong. I broke the expensive present that someone gave you."

"It's okay. Go ahead and help."

"But the problem is that the gift is not only very unusual at first glance: when it is knocked, it sounds like it is being knocked on a human head, and there are patterns on the green leather. After being broken, the inside is red and bloody. It's like...Xiaomei thought it was a human head, she was so scared that she was about to cry, go and have a look!"

Everyone went to watch it out of curiosity, and it turned out that it was really as the baby said.It's just that no one knows what it is.

Tian Guozhong, who was the last to walk in, said right away: "This is watermelon, but it is a good thing to quench your thirst." While talking, he grabbed a broken piece and gnawed it. When everyone saw him eating it with such relish, They all stepped forward to try it, and immediately knew that it was really delicious.

Watermelon was indeed a rare commodity at that time. Many people in big cities had never eaten it, let alone in this remote mountainous area. Many people had never even heard of it, let alone eaten it.Therefore, the newly joined nurse named Xiaomei will be frightened.Besides, the season for eating watermelon has already passed, so if someone can give it to you as a gift, it will definitely be worth it.Moreover, ordinary people can't even eat a few meals, so how can they offer such a gift, and only those big households can afford it, because only they pay attention to the quality of life, have so much spare money to transport watermelons from far away, and Has been hidden in the ice cellar.

"It's really delicious." Zhang Qingshan lowered his head and finished eating a piece of watermelon, imitating Tian Guozhong, throwing away the watermelon rind, and after muttering, he went to grab the second piece, but it was gone.When I looked up, I saw that the seven treasures had snatched them all up—seeing that the leader was eating so vigorously, they asked the brave one to try it, and in the end, they cheered and happily got it all for them.And the twenty or so soldiers who came to help, including Zhou Baoyu, could only stare blankly and swallow their saliva.

Zhang Qingshan felt that this was not good, it was too unfair to the soldiers, so he asked: "Baoyu, and this... this..."

"watermelon!"

"Yes! Is there such a thing called watermelon?"

The female nurse who confessed to Zhang Qingshan had just finished eating the watermelon that was distributed to her, and when she heard this, she immediately shouted excitedly: "There are still two baskets, I counted them specially, and there are eleven more. .”

Zhang Qingshan glanced around and saw that everyone was watching. He silently counted and asked Hu Yingze: "Old Hu, these watermelons are gifts from the common people. I have the right to dispose of them, right?"

Hu Yingze looked up at the ceiling, neither agreeing nor objecting, and said clearly: not taking the people's needles and threads is one of our three disciplines and eight points of attention. You are making mistakes by doing so, but I like it very much. You made a mistake, so I will never take this responsibility, but I will definitely agree to continue eating this watermelon, so you can make up your own mind... This is the particularity of the assault company, and it is also the focus of the thorns Advantages: They will never care about making small mistakes. If you don't make mistakes, how can you prove that you are a thorn?Not a thorn, are you qualified to enter the assault company?Without guts, how will you perform various dangerous and arduous tasks in the future?Of course, when it comes to big mistakes and issues of principle, they are the most observant group of people.But the superior really understands the nature of the assault company, so for this group of guys who have a high sacrifice rate and are related to the safety of the entire Red Second and Sixth Army, they often don't bother to care about their small mistakes.

Zhang Qingshan was indeed the leader of the thorns. He immediately understood what Hu Yingze meant, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Comrades, there are more porridge and less monks, so take out four more watermelons, and each comrade present will have a piece of watermelon. Don’t think it’s too little! Just treat it as a meal and enjoy your mouth.”

Everyone cheered and immediately went to pick watermelons.

"Old Zhang, what about the rest?"

"Old Peng, we have to be conscientious as human beings..."

Speaking of conscience, that means giving it all to the chief.Unexpectedly, Zhang Qingshan changed the subject and said with a smile: "The doctors and nurses in the headquarters hospital are not only the hardest on weekdays, but they are the last line of life-saving for our injured comrades. They must be taken care of and build good relationships Otherwise, once they get angry, the world will really fall apart... I said, you can laugh if you want, and be careful not to hold your stomach... Yes, I plan to pick out the two biggest ones and send them to Xueqin. So what's the matter, did I say something wrong?"

"That's right, absolutely right, I agree with both hands. Besides, I think the company commander has to do it himself so that both public and private affairs can be taken into account. Otherwise, whoever dares to send it over for the company commander, the company commander and his sister-in-law will probably have to beat him up." Company Commander, am I right?"

"Old Wu, why do I suddenly feel that every time you laugh, people have the urge to punch you all over the face? Tell me, should I hit you or not?"

"Company commander, you are the leader, you are not allowed to take the lead in beating people."

"You almost forgot if you didn't remind me. I'm not the leader anymore, I'm a soldier in the cooking class..."

"Then I am your leader now, right? If you dare to beat the leader, you will be punished."

Zhang Qingshan looked at Wang Wu in astonishment, pondered for a moment, nodded, and agreed with this point of view.But when Wang Wuxi raised his eyebrows, he saw Zhang Qingshan turned his head and shouted at the cheering people who were sharing the watermelon: "Confiscate the piece of watermelon that was distributed to Wang Wu, he doesn't think it tastes good."

"Who dares?" Wang Wu was furious and almost flew over, shouting as he rushed over: "Damn it, who dares to swallow the big watermelon that should be given to me, I will fight him today."

Everyone roared with laughter...
