march to victory

If the previous commendation meeting was full of laughter and laughter, then the company-level cadre meeting held at night was serious.At least, Zhang Qingshan is very popular.

"Comrades, I suggested that today's meeting be held temporarily, because I think it is very necessary for us to correct some exaggerated and arrogant ethos in the army." Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan deliberately held up the table He drank from the steel cup, but looked at the comrades below.

Sure enough, as he expected, the comrades were immediately buzzed by this topic, because some comrades opposed it before, and some comrades suggested it, which created two kinds of atmosphere. Now, I heard Zhang Qingshan take the initiative to break this atmosphere , It is strange that everyone does not discuss and discuss.

"Quiet!"

Zhang Qingshan put down the steel cup, slowly closed the lid, and said seriously: "I know, some comrades saw that the battle at Weijia Wharf was fought so smoothly, and they won the impressive spoils with almost zero casualties. It is inevitable that we will ponder: Since we are so powerful in combat and the devils are so weak, we dare not even fight. When we heard that we were coming, we ran away in fright. Besides, the devils and the second devil in the county There are so few, why don't we go and take down the county seat as well, so that we can give the little devil a run for his money, right?"

Everyone stopped talking and looked at Zhang Qingshan with wide eyes.

But Zhang Qingshan said lightly: "To tell the truth, I also have this idea and impulse. Why? Because this can really give the devils a bad start in a short period of time, and it can greatly achieve the fight we set before the war. The effect of the prestige of the assault regiment. Besides, with our current strength and proper arrangement, we can also occupy the county seat at a very small cost."

As soon as this remark came out, the people below immediately started talking again, and even Zhang Qingshan could hear someone saying, "Yes, I said a long time ago, if we do this, we will let the little devils know how powerful our assault group is..."

Zhang Qingshan waited for a while, and when he saw that the discussions below had grown louder, he patted the table and said, "Quiet, quiet! This is a place for meetings, not for opera performances. Can you listen to me before I finish speaking?" Expressing an opinion? This is called respect, understand?"

When there was silence, Zhang Qingshan said: "However, what I want to say is, comrades, we can't be so short-sighted, we must consider the problem from a long-term perspective."

"I won't talk about other reasons, but I'll just ask you two questions: the first question, do you really think the little devil's combat effectiveness is so bad? So bad that you run away when you see our assault group?"

Although Zhang Qingshan had made a lot of preparations for this speech, he couldn't help but sneer when he said this, and said: "If the devil's combat effectiveness is so poor, then I will ask everyone, Xinkou battle , Why did our Chinese army retreat? Don’t tell me about the internal conflicts in non-cooperation, that’s just one of the reasons... The devil’s pre-war training, whether it’s shooting or assassination, is no worse than ours, it’s even more serious Point, many places are indeed better than ours... Don't rush to argue, this is an indisputable fact. If nothing else, let's talk about shooting training, Lao Jiang's soldiers, their recruit training, everyone has dozens of bullets to shoot at any rate , and our Eighth Route Army? Just two shots. Heh! Heh! If you don’t believe me, you can think about it...Of course, the shooting training of our assault regiment is indeed better than that of our brother troops, but if I remember correctly, we can also Only twenty rounds of bullets, even the soldiers of Chiang Kai-shek. Then, do you know how many bullets each recruit must shoot in the shooting training of the little devil? Let me tell you, it is [-] rounds, and, yes Every soldier must finish firing these fourteen hundred rounds!"

The discussion below immediately became louder, like a frying pan, many people bluntly did not believe it.

"Don't believe me? Heh! Heh! If you don't believe me, you can ask Commissar Hu, you can ask some battalion commanders, this investigation is not what we said, nor is it said by Lao Jiang or the little devil. It is the result obtained by foreigners through investigation. Although I think there are nine out of ten false elements in it, even if it shrinks, there will always be half of it? One thousand four hundred rounds minus half and seven hundred rounds , which is also a terrifying quality. Comrades, what do you see in this?"

"Some people will say that no matter how well trained the little devils are, we can still win without the support of the desperate spirit in the war. However, I regret to tell you that under the influence of Japanese militarism, the Japanese have always The exquisite bushido spirit has also become distorted, but the purpose of their distorted bushido spirit is to cultivate soldiers into a spirit that is not afraid of death. Of course, it has also turned them into not taking other people's lives seriously... These, It was reflected in the Battle of Xinkou, not to mention anything else, just talking about the surrender of troops. In the entire Battle of Xinkou, hundreds of thousands of troops fought together. As a result, they did not capture a few Japanese devils. Why? Because these little devils He was seriously injured, and he was extremely aggressive, and he was not willing to surrender at all..."

A paragraph of words that spoiled one's own prestige by making others' ambition finally set the comrades below on fire.

A comrade couldn't help but stood up, and interjected angrily, "Commander, aren't you too absolute in what you said? You almost praised the devil to the sky. According to what you said, this little devil Let's not fight, just go home and wait for death?"

"This comrade asked a good question." Zhang Qingshan looked at him with a smile. After he sat down, Zhang Qingshan said: "We Communists have always been practical, especially us soldiers. Otherwise, what do you need information for? Just look at the map, everyone can imagine it."

"What I said earlier is the truth. This must be admitted. Because only by respecting the facts can we find out the opponent's weaknesses, and then specifically target the opponent's weaknesses. Only in this way can we win, not just because of one victory, Just being proud and complacent, thinking that the enemy is nothing more than that... Take our battle at the Weijia Wharf as an example, it wasn't that the little devil ran away, but because of several accidents, we didn't have a head-on confrontation with the little devil. For example Comrade Liu Bing, the commander of the first battalion, took the main force of the first battalion to fight against the devils warehouse on the pier, but the devils there temporarily left a few hours ago to escort the devils' transport fleet. Fleeing as some of our comrades imagined."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said: "The devil is capable of individual combat, and his weapons are much better than ours. Speaking of this, I remembered a fact: everyone knows that the devil The planes and cannons of our country are better than ours, I believe everyone will admit this, right? Well, what should we do to make the most of our strengths and avoid our weaknesses?"

"I know." A comrade stood up and replied: "We should fight against the devils before our strength becomes stronger. In this way, the devils can't find our specific location, and their planes and cannons have no targets. In this way, after a long time, when our strength is sufficient, we can do it all at once, or slowly, in short, sooner or later, the devil's planes and cannons will become ours, just like we did when we beat Lao Jiang."

"Also." Another comrade also stood up and spoke: "If it really doesn't work, we can still go hand in hand with the devils. In this way, the outcome will not be discussed, but it will definitely prevent the devils' planes and cannons from bombing randomly, because It is very likely that even their own people will be killed."

Zhang Qingshan nodded with a smile. After the comrades who had spoken were invited to sit down, he said: "Yes! What everyone said is correct. These are good tactics. However, from a strategic point of view, it must be more far-reaching. And this involves the second question I want to ask everyone: Should we take down the county seat now?"

"Now the devils have only a small number of troops in Sanqiao County and several nearby counties, and their main force is put on the previous Xinkou Battle. Now, the Xinkou Battle has just ended, so the devils will only have There are two ways to go: one is to turn around and deal with us in order to consolidate their occupied areas; Therefore, I think they should continue to march towards Taiyuan..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qingshan smiled strangely, and said: "Comrades, we can't control other places, and we don't have the ability to control them. However, we can hold back the enemy."

"Head, didn't you just say that we should develop our own strength first? Why..."

"Developing strength is developing strength. Fighting devils is fighting devils. Both sides can coexist. Everyone can develop strength while fighting devils! We can't forget to fight devils in order to develop our own strength. That way, when devils occupy the whole of China, No matter how big we develop, it's useless. Besides, I didn't say not to beat devils for my own strength."

"Okay, let's get down to business!" Zhang Qingshan took a puff of cigarette and said: "The devils have a strong army and better weapons and equipment than us. So, how should we deal with it? In my opinion, there are only four words 'rely on the masses'. Mobilize, form a situation of national resistance, let the devils become blind, let us know immediately what the devils eat in the morning, so that we can take the lead... Therefore, we must rely on the masses closely, To the point of living and dying with the common people, I believe, the devils will be driven out of China by us."

"I think everyone is famous for these words, so I won't say more. I just want to remind comrades that during the Xinkou battle, our assault regiment had just developed, and we couldn't help even if we wanted to. However, now the Xinkou battle is over. , we admit that we failed in the battle at Xinkou, but our assault regiment has grown stronger now. So, next, no matter whether the devils want to consolidate the occupied area or attack Taiyuan, hey! Hey! Our assault regiment can It can help. Among other things, it is still possible to hold back part of the enemy's troops, so it can be regarded as indirectly helping the friendly troops in front. Don't you think so?"

"Head, what do you mean to say, we have a big battle coming up?"

Zhang Qingshan nodded, but did not continue to discuss this issue. After all, this is his next plan, and he made a move in advance just to appease everyone. As for the specific details, there is really no need to discuss it here. After all, The principle of confidentiality must still be observed.

Therefore, Zhang Qingshan directly changed the subject...
