Chapter 936 Let's pull together!
When Zhang Qingshan returned home, he saw that the house was deserted and was a little depressed for a moment, so he sat on the edge of the bed and smoked.
Before the war began, in order to prevent the Japanese from raiding Qinglong Mountain - Zhang Qingshan didn't expect the plane to be considered by the Japanese Army. Xiang Xueqin, whose belly was already big, followed the people's team and evacuated all the way to the hinterland of the base, so now there has been no one at home for several days: Thinking about the happiness and happiness of Xiang Xueqin when she was by her side, Zhang Qingshan had to sigh: It's better to have a wife!
But thankfully, the Japanese Aircraft bombing did not hurt the house, otherwise it would make Zhang Qingshan even more depressed.
"Hey~! When will it be the end!"
After sighing, Zhang Qingshan shook his head with a bitter smile, raised his right foot, and was about to take off his shoes, but unexpectedly, someone knocked on the door.
To be honest, fighting is the most tiring, whether it is a soldier or a commander. Although it only takes one day to fight against the Japanese, everyone has discussed for a few days in a row, but they can't hold on in the middle of the journey and then slept for a while. Now the battle has finally completed the first stage. After one night of rest, Zhang Qingshan naturally wants to go to bed early.
"Come in!"
"Old Zhang, I knew you weren't asleep yet..." Qi Zixuan was carrying a big basket, covered with a blue cloth. He smiled at Zhang Qingshan as he came in, "It just so happened that on the way back, I caught a hare and made it out... Come on! Let's be hot while it's cold, but it won't be delicious."
Zhang Qingshan was stunned and then understood what Qi Zixuan meant: At the meeting, a reinforcement battalion would be sent to complete the very difficult and glorious task. According to Zhang Qingshan's instructions, Tian Guozhong was responsible for letting the second, third, fourth and fifth battalions each express their advantages and disadvantages, then select a battalion, and then select a company from the first battalion, and then enter the Dashan Village southeast of Baoyuan County in darkness at 11 o'clock tonight... The first battalion suffered almost half of its casualties and its strength was greatly damaged. Naturally, it was impossible to compete with other battalions for this task. However, in order to take care of the emotions of the first battalion, Zhang Qingshan specially designated to draw a company from the first battalion to join, which was also a reward for the heroic performance of the first battalion in the battle of Majiaao.
Now, Tian Guozhong definitely did not choose which camp to send, which made everyone panic... If you hand over the advantages and disadvantages of your camp in the form of materials, the superiors and cons of them naturally need to consider it. Shouldn’t you choose?
Therefore, various communication methods and ways of fighting will inevitably appear.
Whether it is Zhang Qingshan's prestige in the assault regiment or as the commander-in-chief of the front enemy, it has decided that he has the right to decide which battalion he sent to perform this mission. How can he not please Zhang Qingshan first? To put it bluntly, as long as he gets Zhang Qingshan's approval, this matter will be absolutely inseparable.
So, the third battalion commander hurriedly came to contact Zhang Qingshan.
The Third Battalion Commander has an advantage that other battalion commanders cannot have - qualifications within the assault regiment and closeness to Zhang Qingshan.
At the beginning, when he first joined the army, although Zhang Qingshan and Qi Zixuan were not in the same squad, they were both in the same platoon. Then they joined the self-defense force to protect the town at that time, and then joined the commando to suppress bandits. Later, the assault company was established, and the two of them had never separated. Zhang Qingshan became the company commander and Qi Zixuan became the platoon commander...
In terms of qualifications in the assault regiment, Qi Zixuan can definitely rank in the top five. After all, the assault regiment was expanded from the assault regiment. As soon as the assault regiment was established, Qi Zixuan was one of the old heroes.
In terms of the long-term relationship with Zhang Qingshan, even Hu Yingze is not as good as Qi Zixuan in the entire assault regiment, let alone others.
In terms of ability, not to mention that the Third Battalion is the first full-staff member in the assault regiment, let’s talk about Qi Zixuan’s personal ability: Zhang Qingshan’s promotion can be said to be a rocket, but Qi Zixuan’s promotion is not worse than Zhang Qingshan, and he was only the first-level Zhang Qingshan at any time... Moreover, after the end of the Long March, when Zhang Qingshan was serving as a staff officer in the division headquarters, Qi Zixuan took over Zhang Qingshan’s position and became the second company commander of the assault company. How could this ability be worse?
And this is Qi Zixuan's huge advantage, and it also means the qualifications of veterans in the army.
To put it bluntly, just relying on Qi Zixuan's old qualification, let alone being a battalion commander, even if he is just a veteran now, others will have to give Yu some respect when they see him. Even if Zhang Qingshan is a division commander, he will have to give Yu a little respect when he sees him. If Qi Zixuan calls him Lao Zhang, he must nod and agree. At least, he cannot put on airs. Otherwise, it will make people say that Zhang Qingshan is upright and has been a high-ranking official for a few days and looks down on the comrades who were chewing food in the same pot. The army recognizes this.
And this is the advantage of the old qualification. Therefore, Qi Zixuan is not only the battalion commander of the Third Battalion, but also the deputy commander of the assault regiment, but also Zhang Qingshan personally proposed it. It can be seen that Zhang Qingshan recognized Qi Zixuan's old qualification.
"Old Zhang, we guys haven't been drinking and chatting together for a long time..." Qi Zixuan arranged three dishes: a plate of peanuts, a plate of sour radish, and a plate of rabbit meat. He said while pouring wine for Zhang Qingshan: "When was the last time we guys were drinking together? Do you still remember?"
Although you know Qi Zixuan's purpose, Zhang Qingshan has to accept it in the face of Qi Zixuan's attentiveness... His old comrades-in-arms have to drink and chat with him in private. No matter what the purpose is, you can't use business as an excuse to postpone business, right? That's too unkind and too affects unity. What's more, Zhang Qingshan himself is also a generous person.
"Why don't you remember?" Zhang Qingshan smiled and said, "That was the end of the Long March. You took over as the company commander of the assault company. I was afraid that you would make a mistake when you came up, so I asked you to teach you experience in private. Unexpectedly, you and I were drunk and couldn't remember anything I said..."
"Ha! Ha! You can't remember, I remember clearly." Qi Zixuan picked up the wine glass, clinked a glass with Zhang Qingshan, and smiled and said, "Just just to make our old comrades drink and chat again, I have made this glass."
"Dry!"
After doing this glass of wine, Qi Zixuan poured wine for Zhang Qingshan and said, "Old Zhang, do you still remember how many acquaintances there are among the people who came out of our Red Third Company?"
When he heard this, Zhang Qingshan, who was eating vegetables with a smile, suddenly became cold and his eyes were faintly sad.
After picking up the wine glass, he drank it all, sighed and said, "Among the acquaintances, there were Lao Huang in addition to you and me. However, I heard not long ago that when I was supporting the Battle of Taiyuan, Lao Huang was shot four times while fighting against the Japanese and died on the spot... Alas! If I remember correctly, there were seventeen acquaintances who came out of my parents' home at the beginning. Some died on the battlefield of fighting with Lao Chiang, some died on the Long March, and some died during the war with the Japanese and... Until now, it is probably only you and me."
"I also heard the political commissar talk about Lao Huang's affairs not long ago... Come, Lao Zhang, this cup is for Lao Huang and all the sacrificed comrades!"
"Dry!"
In fact, if Hu Yingze had not been to the division headquarters for a meeting after the New Year and Zhang Qingshan asked him to bring some local specialties to Lao Huang, they would probably not have known about Lao Huang's sacrifice. However, although the soldiers were not frank with life and death, the soldiers were used to bleeding and not crying. There were many things hidden in their hearts and it was difficult to tell others, so they had never talked about this. Now that they have finished talking about it, they will start talking about it.
Next, the two of them had a topic of drinking toasts.
When they first joined the army, they made jokes, such as Zhang Qingshan's first time seeing a heavy machine gun, and his treasure was so precious that he buried it directly. He didn't even care about captives, and he was determined to guard the heavy machine gun. For example, when Qi Zixuan joined the commando, he attacked the cave where the bandits were hiding for the first time. As a result, because he had no experience, he did not explode one, and almost knocked his ears to deafness.
After a few glasses of wine, I didn’t eat anything, but the atmosphere of drinking became stronger.
As soon as he talked about the sacrifice of Zhang Qingshan’s old squad leader Huang Debao, the door was pushed open.
"Ha! Ha! I smelled the aroma of meat from a distance... You two are really here to have a small stove." The second battalion commander Li Honghui held a cigarette in his left hand, laughing and lifted the curtain in. Then, he sat on the kang, grabbed a piece of rabbit meat with his hands, and chewed it while saying, "Eating alone is inauthentic. Since we met, we should also participate enthusiastically, so that no one would say that you two eat alone."
After saying that, he touched Zhang Qingshan with his right hand and asked with a blunt smile: "Old Zhang, where are the bowls and chopsticks?"
Zhang Qingshan pointed out outside the curtain. Then he looked at the cigarette in Li Honghui's left armpit and smiled and said, "Old Li, are you planning to make me make a mistake?"
"Don't say it's so ugly, okay?" Li Honghui put the cigarette on the table and said, "This was bought by all the commanders and soldiers of our Second Battalion. I just thank you for your care for the Second Battalion on behalf of the Second Battalion."
"Old Li, it's not that I said you, if you want to give me a pack of cigarettes, I will definitely take it, but give me one, haha! Haha! Lao Li, if you really treat me as a comrade, don't do this with me."
"You don't believe me after I said it!" Li Honghui was indeed awesome. When he heard Zhang Qingshan's words, he yelled and opened the eye directly. Then, he gave Zhang Qingshan and Qi Zixuan one bag one by one, and he also took a bag himself, and said carelessly: "Now we are three of us, one by one, and I will send the rest to the regiment headquarters tomorrow and let everyone smoke together. This is not what makes you make a mistake, right?"
Zhang Qingshan had no choice but to smile bitterly: It’s good that my heart is here.
But Qi Zixuan, who was standing beside him, kept rolling his eyes and scolding Li Honghui in his heart: I have to say that he is an old comrade in his arms. Qi Zixuan knows a lot about Zhang Qingshan's nature. Now, he chatted with Zhang Qingshan with the right amount of alcohol, and he was about to let Zhang Qingshan agree. At this critical moment, Li Honghui appeared halfway and disturbed his good things. He was not easy to get to Li Honghui, so he could only express his extreme dissatisfaction by rolling his eyes at Li Honghui.
However, Qi Zixuan never expected that Li Honghui was just one of the people who dissatisfied him, because before Li Honghui's feet landed, the door was pushed open again...
Chapter completed!
