march to victory

"Old Tian, ​​you have a heavy burden now. Not only do you have to make tactical arrangements, but you also have to take care of the retreat behind the mountain. How about it? Do you have confidence?"

The specific tactical arrangement depends on how Tian Guozhong formulates, so this meeting only set the attack target.

But in order to prevent Tian Guozhong from thinking, after the meeting, Hu Yingze and Zhang Qingshan deliberately kept Tian Guozhong and enlightened him.

"Political commissar, this burden is not light, how about you help me share it?"

Hearing this, it means that Tian Guozhong really didn't care much about the meeting.

Both Zhang Qingshan and Hu Yingze laughed.

"Old Tian! Let me be polite to you. I didn't expect you to be so rude and just give me the task like this. But, let me tell you, I still have to be busy with logistics, so you Even if you need someone else to help you with the burden, you can only find him."

Zhang Qingshan, who has always been used to being a shopkeeper, saw Hu Yingze kicking the ball to him, and quickly shook his hand, saying: "That's not okay, the burden on my side is not light, you should do more work if you are capable."

"Aside from traveling with your younger siblings every day, what else do you have to do?"

Zhang Qingshan was about to find an excuse, but unexpectedly, someone behind him said: "Report to the political commissar, head of the regiment, and chief of staff."

Zhang Qingshan turned to look at Luo Yingjie, and said with a smile: "Old Luo, you are all comrades, why are you being so polite in private? Why, what's the matter?"

After Luo Yingjie nodded, he said with some embarrassment: "I think I was wrong about one thing. I didn't realize the seriousness of the problem. No, I just want to talk to a few leaders and ask them to criticize."

"No matter what mistakes there are, we can discuss and correct them...Come on, let's sit down and talk."

"Regimental Commander, you asked me about the situation at Wei's Wharf earlier. I didn't even think about it. I just said that there is a company of the national army stationed at Wei's Wharf for a long time. This basically will not change in the past. Nothing wrong. But the problem is, this was the situation before the devils came. After that, I have been busy doing some work to welcome our assault group, and I didn't care about the Wei family pier. But just now, the chief of staff said that the county There are more than 100 devils stationed there. At that time, I had some inspiration, but later I figured out what this inspiration was: Since there are more than 100 devils stationed in the county, then, Weijia Wharf is the largest waterway pier in the county. Many things must come ashore from there, that is to say, the devils must also station a certain amount of troops there, or else, relying on the greedy character of my good cousin, the devils dare to put things in the warehouse at Wei's wharf. If he doesn't send troops to guard, he dares to transfer and pack as many things as possible. So... this is my negligence, and I invite several leaders to criticize it."

At the end, Luo Yingjie stood up and waited for criticism.

"Then why didn't you say it at the meeting?" Zhang Qingshan's complexion suddenly collapsed, and he glared at Luo Yingjie: "Do you know that the intelligence work you are in charge of is equivalent to the eyes and ears of our commando team. If it is not accurate and timely, it may cause big problems, cause a lot of unnecessary losses, and even affect the overall situation."

"Leader of the report, I know I was wrong." Luo Yingjie was worthy of his straightforward personality. He first admitted his mistake, and then explained: "However, although I had some inspiration during the meeting, I didn't understand it at the time. It was not until after the meeting was over that I walked back, and the more I walked, the more I felt that something was wrong, and then I realized where I had made a mistake, so I hurried to review it with the leaders.”

"Okay, Lao Luo, don't blame yourself so much. After all, things haven't happened yet. Sit down! Sit down first and then talk." Hu Yingjie smoothed things over: "Old Zhang, you don't have to be so angry, and neither is Lao Luo. Deliberately, besides, isn't it too late?"

"That's right! Lao Zhang, Lao Luo has just begun intelligence work. Some mistakes in the report are understandable."

Zhang Qingshan knew that the two of them were trying to persuade themselves to maintain unity. After all, as an experienced commander, everyone knew the importance of intelligence, and how serious the consequences of intelligence mistakes would be.However, as Hu Yingjie said, if things haven't happened yet, there is still room for redemption.Therefore, there is no need to be too harsh. After all, Luo Yingjie's contribution to the revolution is obvious to all. It is definitely not conducive to the development and unity of future work if he is reprimanded within a few days.

In fact, the three of them knew in their hearts that Luo Yingjie made a major mistake here: it's not that he didn't investigate clearly in time, the most critical mistake was that he still speculated according to his old thinking before investigating clearly. Moreover, before such a major military deployment, it is a bit of nonsense to report in such a grandiose manner.Can such a joke be made in military combat deployment?That is courting death.Not to mention opening it up, even missing a little information or ignoring some details may cause big trouble.

And this also reflects the major differences between guerrillas and regular troops in some rules and regulations, as well as in the style of work: in the guerrillas, your intelligence does not need to be very accurate, because the guerrillas have a small number of people and are good at fighting guerrillas. To put it bluntly, as soon as you find something is wrong, you can transfer it immediately.However, in the army, most of the time, the troops below go to battle according to the deployment above. Once a fight starts, or even as it is now, the problem is discovered before the start of the battle, and the deployment adjustments are made immediately. , but if the order is not delivered in time, it will also cause a lot of losses that could have been avoided.

To put it bluntly, at this time, it is the weakest period of the assault group, and stability and unity are what are most needed internally... Of course, if there are serious consequences because of Luo Yingjie's intelligence errors, then there is nothing to say, just shoot It is not impossible.

To be honest, at this moment, in Zhang Qingshan's heart, he was a little disappointed with Luo Yingjie's ability to be in charge of intelligence work: he originally thought that Luo Yingjie had a lot of friends and was easy to collect intelligence, but he has been fighting guerrillas in this area for so many years. Intelligence must also be very good. After all, without the support of intelligence, the county guerrilla brigade in this county would not have survived until now.However, judging from this matter, Zhang Qingshan understands the saying that "professional things must be done by professionals." Otherwise, even if he became a monk halfway, it is inevitable that some unnecessary mistakes will occur.

But thinking about it the other way around, Zhang Qingshan is quite helpless: he doesn’t have professional intelligence gathering personnel, let alone experienced people in this field—the previous intelligence was provided by the regiment or the division. Even just need to execute it.Before coming here, Zhang Qingshan wasn’t worried about this. After all, he thought that the guerrillas had been fighting guerrillas for so many years, and their intelligence must be very mature. He only needed to expand and standardize these things.But now it seems that I was negligent. Why didn't I think of finding a few talents in this field in the regiment?

As a result, he is now considered to be the top of the dwarfs, and has to continue to rely on Luo Yingjie to collect information. After all, if Luo Yingjie is replaced, others will not say that Luo Yingjie does not have the innate condition to make friends and expand rapidly. Even if he has, I am afraid that in terms of intelligence collection Even Luo Yingjie couldn't keep up with his job.At any rate, Luo Yingjie still knew how to take the initiative to take responsibility, and corrected when he knew his mistakes. If he was replaced by someone who was afraid of trouble or punishment, and chose to hide it at this moment, it would be fatal.

To put it simply, Zhang Qingshan's current mood can be summed up in four words - talent is rare!

With these considerations in mind, Zhang Qingshan's attitude towards Luo Yingjie had to be borrowed.

"Old Luo, it's not me giving you shame, but you think about it yourself. You didn't investigate such an important matter clearly, so you reported it to me. I thought it was accurate, so I took it to the meeting and let everyone base it on this matter." Information to discuss. You say, if there is a big problem, let alone you can’t explain to the sacrificed soldiers, even I will have no face to face others. Right?”

Luo Yingjie was already in a cold sweat with fright, otherwise he wouldn't have rushed to criticize him as soon as he thought of the consequences.Standing up, he replied solemnly: "Yes! Commander, you are right in your criticism. From now on, I promise to verify every piece of information before reporting it, and I will never spit out the nonsense that I thought was normal before. come out."

"That's right. Okay, Lao Luo, you sit down first." Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile, and after Luo Yingjie sat down, he said with a smile: "However, Lao Luo, your open and aboveboard character is very good. Even if he knows that he will be punished, he does not focus on the individual, but devotes himself to the revolutionary cause and the collective, he is worthy of being a member of the Communist Party, he is a man."

"Leader, don't praise me, you don't know, I really broke out in a cold sweat after thinking about this problem clearly."

Zhang Qingshan and the others burst out laughing.

"Old Tian, ​​didn't you just ask me what I was up to?" Zhang Qingshan said to Tian Guozhong with a smile: "Look, now something is coming."

Tian Guozhong was surprised, and asked, "Old Zhang, you don't want to investigate in person, do you?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded, and was about to speak, but Luo Yingjie hurriedly took the first step: "Leader, I know that I made a mistake earlier, but I want you to promise that I will investigate it myself, and I will definitely give you and everyone A satisfactory piece of information. Why don't you go there yourself?"

"What's this called? Can't the leader go there in person? Should the leader sit back and enjoy the benefits?" Zhang Qingshan pretended to be angry and said a few words, seeing that everyone didn't intend to be intimidated at all, so he had to be soft: "Actually. , I want to sneak into Wei's wharf to see it in person, so that when I make a battle plan, I can know it well. After all, no matter how detailed the map and information are, it is not as good as walking on the spot in person. .”

Seeing Zhang Qingshan's resolute attitude, everyone understood that the head of the group had lost his temper, and it seemed that it was a decision.

Hu Yingze joked with a smile: "Old Zhang, don't you think it's because I've been out and about for half a month, eating delicious food and drinking spicy food, making you jealous, so you also want to make a fortune out of public affairs?"

"Hey! Lao Hu, as expected of my old partner, he just understands me." After Zhang Qingshan replied with a smile, he said to Tian Guozhong: "Old Tian, ​​you are making a battle plan...forget it, Lao Tian, ​​you don't need to To formulate a battle plan for attacking Wei's Wharf, you can first make a plan to ambush the little devils halfway for reinforcements. The matter of Wei's Wharf, after I come back, we will work together according to the actual situation."

"it is good!"

At dawn the next day, Zhang Qingshan led the guards, and specially invited Zhou Baoyu, who had scuds to join him, and Zhou Baoyu, who asked to join him with a shameless face, went down the mountain to the Wei family wharf under the leadership of Luo Yingjie and five guerrillas...
