"Squad Leader, it's okay. I know you are for my own good and to make me a qualified Red Army soldier as soon as possible." Zhou Baoyu disappeared in a nervous expression. Instead, he smiled at Zhang Qingshan with some emotion, and then touched the back of his head and said, "Squad Leader, what he said is wrong, I don't blame you at all, really."

Zhang Qingshan touched Zhou Baoyu's head next time, smiled and nodded, and Lao Xu's laughter came from behind: "A real man dares to act, and if he is wrong, he must admit it. You are not bad boy, it is the style of our Red Army soldiers."

The laughter was a bit annoying, so Zhang Qingshan turned around and asked without saying a word: "Old Xu, since the company commander is going to put me in custody, why did he remember me and let me be the squad leader?"

The purpose of the Self-Defense Force is to train new recruits. The Red Army's battle this time was a bit of a huge casualty, so the current Self-Defense Force members, except for leaving a dozen backbones who were preparing to lead the new team members, all the rest were enriched to the Red Third Company. Zhang Qingshan won the third-class merit and became the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the squad leader of the s

The former captain of the yi squadron of the Self-Defense Force was killed in battle, and Li Guowei became the instructor of the Self-Defense Force. Due to the heavy casualties of the squad, only five people were left. Zhang Qingshan took the opportunity to add all the 2nd squadron of the 2nd squadron of the Self-Defense Force to the squad. In fact, only seven people were left. In addition to the original five and Zhang Qingshan himself, there were thirteen people in the squad. Zhou Baoyu also came here. He was very happy to get the consent, but he couldn't figure out why he had to be punished since he was promoted. Now he was just asking for advice from the old revolutionary Lao Xu.

"What can't figure out about this? Our Red Army has always made clear rewards and punishments. Of course you have to be punished if you make mistakes, but you will naturally be rewarded if you make meritorious service. This is not a conflict."

Zhang Qingshan thought for a while and smiled. He picked up his bowl and handed it to Lao Xu: "Lao Xu, come and have a meal."

"Not to eat!" Lao Xu walked onto the bed: "You guy has figured it out, but I still feel sorry for those comrades, but I don't even give you a chance to take revenge. I can't think about it, so I won't eat it."

Speaking of this, Old Xu sat up, looked at Zhang Qingshan with a smile, and shouted to the outside: "That little guy outside, your squad leader wants to celebrate, can you get a bottle of wine?"

After the words came to an end, Wang Xing heard his voice: "Squad leader, I knew you wanted to drink. I made two bottles of good wine for you. Look, there are also big bowls of meat."

Turning his head and looking at him, he saw Wang Xing holding a basket and smiling at him. There were a large group of soldiers behind him looking through the window. There were a few familiar ones inside, but they didn't know each other. After thinking about it, they understood that these were all veterans of the original squad. When I came to see him, I respected myself as the new squad leader.

Before Zhang Qingshan could get up, Old Xu walked over to the basket and looked at two bottles of wine, bowls of meat, and Lao Sicheng cigarette. Old Xu smiled, but looked behind them, but didn't see the person he wanted to see, and withdrew his gaze in disappointment.

Wang Xing quickly smiled and said, "Platform Commander Xu, the comrades in the platoon and the second platoon had agreed to get up, but halfway through the way, the above issued an emergency order to ask them to go out immediately and go into the mountains to wipe out the big bandit, the mountain tiger. They had no choice but to ask us to bring the gifts. Look, this cigarette was given to you by them."

Although the attack in Guitang Town suffered heavy losses and was considered a miserable victory, it gained two obvious benefits: First, the bandits left nearly two hundred guns, which greatly enriched the Red Army's weapons. Now, there are still plenty of guns in hand, and we can prepare for the next expansion of the Red Army. Second, the reason for going out to drill into the tiger's nest immediately was to strike while the iron was hot, and we would rush to bring this Guitang Town Zhou.

The largest bandits in the border area were wiped out, which shocked the little ones and laid a solid foundation for the future of revolution in the countryside. You must know that in other places, some Red Army commanders and soldiers went to the countryside to carry out revolutionary work, and at least they had to need a platoon to protect them. Otherwise, they would easily become attacks by local tyrants and evil gentry and various local armed forces. Now, if you destroy this large bandit, and if the armed forces in various places want to attack the Red Army soldiers at will, they have to consider the consequences.

Lao Xu doesn't care whether the gift is heavy or not. What he cares about is whether the comrades are blaming him and whether they still care about him, the old platoon leader.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Lao Xu smiled again. He was biting the lid of the wine bottle, put down the wine bottle, picked up the cigarette, tore it open, took out two packs and handed it to Wang Xing: "Come on! Let all the comrades taste it."

Then, he held a cigarette and held a basket and sat at the small table, placed the bowl of meat on the table, bit the lid of the wine bottle, tilted his head and drank half of the bottle, and spit out a long sip of wine, then grabbed a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, shouting, "Happy!"

"Squad leader, hello, I am the deputy squad leader Qian Jiang."

The same rank, looking up, not seeing each other, they all know each other, but now they have become their own deputy. This is the first time they formally meet, they must be serious. After returning a greeting, they shook hands with each other and smiled: "Old Qian, what's the one who is not the one who is a deputy? Everyone, we are a comrade, we will work together to do the revolution. Don't be apart. In the future, you can call me Xiao Zhang."

"That's not possible. You are the squad leader, so you shouldn't call that."

Old Xuyi, who was having a meal next to him, laughed: "I said, don't give in to you, I'll make the decision for you, one is called Lao Qian and one is called Lao Zhang."

The two of them smiled satisfied when they heard this.

"Old Qian, I can't get out. These kids have never had any good things before. If there is anything wrong, just keep in mind the education."

Although everyone gathered around through the window, chatting until dark before parting.

After the comrades returned, Zhang Qingshan felt a little disappointed. After dinner, he sat on the window and looked at the bright stars in the night sky, without saying a word for a long time.

"Xiao Zhang, what are you thinking?" Old Xu lay on the bed, humming a straw in his mouth for a long time, feeling that no one responded, so he had nothing to say for a word.

"I'm wondering how to lead my class."

Old Xu turned his head and looked at Zhang Qingshan and asked, "Have you ever been the deputy squad leader?"

"No."

"How long have you been in the revolution?"

“More than a month.”

Hearing this, Old Xu sat up and gave Zhang Qishan a thumbs up.

"Old Xu, what do you mean?"

"I admire you boy. I always climbed up step by step from the deputy squad leader, squad leader, deputy platoon leader, etc. You boy can actually improve more than one level in more than a month. It would be impossible without some ability."

Zhang Qingshan was stunned, then touched the back of his head and smiled without saying a word, because everyone knew that Lao Xu's words were a bit flattering: As long as he fought hard, it is common for him to improve the line of fire. Not to mention Zhang Qingshan, who participated in the revolution for more than a month and made two military achievements before becoming the squad leader. Even if the recruits joined for only two days, they were the squad leader, because there were only those left in the class and he and one recruit who joined a day later than him.

"Old Xu, you haven't given any advice yet, how can you be the squad leader?"

"You only need to remember three things: be able to be thick-skinned against the outside, protect the outside, and let go of the inside."

“How to say it?”

"You must be able to be strong in the face when facing the upper hand, which means: the order can be executed, but the principle must be clearly stated; you must be able to protect the face when facing the upper hand, which means you can maintain the reputation of the class; you must be able to put your face when facing the inner hand. This is easy to understand: You must make a fuss with your comrades, don't think that being a squad leader is great."

Zhang Qingshan wanted to ask more carefully, but when he saw that Lao Xu turned over and fell asleep, he didn't want to talk in depth, the meaning of this question was very obvious, so he could only give up. In fact, Lao Xu's words were not deep enough, but he could only express some things to this level, and could only experience them, not speak and not express them.

The next afternoon, Lao Xu became free and became the captain of the Guitang Town Self-Defense Force. Even Zhang Qingshan felt that it was a pity that a grassroots commander like Lao Xu, who had rich combat experience, was taken to be an instructor. But Lao Xu was very happy and patted Zhang Qingshan on the shoulder and repeatedly said that he had made money. When asked what he had made, Lao Xu shook his head and did not say anything. Finally, Lao Xu gave an explanation after getting drunk: Because of his complacent and complacent carelessness, the five comrades sacrificed in vain and also carried the burden of five lives. If it weren't for the revolution, he would have wanted to commit suicide. Therefore, for him, every extra day of life he lived would be profitable. This sounds simple, but if you understand it carefully, you can understand the huge pain and torture in Lao Xu.

Regarding Zhang Qingshan's confinement, it will be said that five days will not be missing.

It was not until the evening of the fifth day that Zhang Qingshan was free. Platoon Commander Huang Debao and his soldiers welcomed him out and returned to the company. They also specially prepared a bowl of meat for him. The Red Army soldiers lived a hard life. This bowl of meat was bought by everyone. Only Huang Debao came from company commander Zhang Guozhi.

However, what surprised Zhang Qingshan the most was that he actually got a box cannon. It turned out that after the defeated generals of the Zhuanshan Hu and Tian Dalong were defeated, they instinctively returned to the Zhuanshan Hu's nest, but were chased by Red Army soldiers overnight and took it to the pot. More than 100 guns and thousands of bullets were seized, and seventeen box cannons were seized, two light machine guns were seized, and tens of thousands of kilograms of grain and other supplies were seized. The Red Army soldiers would forget this time.

Because there are hundreds of miles apart from the battalion department, there are many bandits on the road, and there is no telegraph machine, so it is really inconvenient to rely on the correspondent alone, so the Party Committee happily decided to digest it internally. It is not surprising that Zhang Qingshan won the third-class merit and was rewarded with the box cannon.

For Zhang Qingshan, the next task is to make a fuss with the soldiers.

Regarding the revolutionary work in Guitang Town, there are two urgent tasks that need to be completed: First, take advantage of the great victory of Tian Dalong and the Imperial Tiger, and take advantage of the excellent opportunity of various local forces being shocked, and quickly carry out the revolutionary work to the villages of Daguitang Town to further consolidate the fruits of the revolution. Second, since so many of the old nests of the Imperial Tiger can be seized, then there must be many good things for the dens of the local tyrants hidden in the mountains and forests. No matter how small the mosquitoes are, they are still meat! At least, when the most important food is not enough, their dens are absolutely indispensable. Instead of letting them eat and fight the Red Army, it is better to take them over and share them with the poor people.
