Outside Huguan County, the local people held a simple farewell party, and they welcomed the mountain brigade to leave their station. They all knew that they were going to the front to fight, although they didn't know where to go yet. It's a need for secrecy, but they all know that every movement of the IRA makes a big difference, and this difference is a very good start for them to help them solve all their problems.

"Kid, take it and eat it on the way." Some of the women kept taking out eggs in baskets and feeding them to the soldiers of the Republican Mountain Brigade passing by, and the soldiers were very grateful to be able to get their support, which made them feel very advantageous. target

"Thank you. Thank you, auntie, thank you. "A lot of soldiers were thankful. The Mountain Brigade has been transformed, previously they called it the Bandit Brigade, and no one likes such a combat brigade. Because they were always stealing chickens and dogs, but since this was the second time that the infantry brigade entered Huguan, their approach has changed all of a sudden. They take the initiative to help the disadvantaged, provide some basic food for the old, weak, sick and disabled, and do what they can. These things were published in the newspaper "New Dao". The people of Huguan have seen it with their own eyes, they are no longer the army that bandits are used to, they have become a republican army in the true sense.

Therefore, when this army left, the people of Huguan were really reluctant to let them go, in order to express their gratitude. The locals brought out their best food. Eggs, stews, and dumplings that you can't afford to eat. Some of the old people dug up the good liquor they brewed themselves.

They solve all the problems they think in their own unique way.

"What do you think?" Zhang Xian looked back at the troops who were leaving Huguan County and asked, Brigade Commander, Red Lady.

"No, I've never thought about anything like this. We hated it before. You know, in a situation like this, a lot of things are actually difficult for us to do. But now, you see, we're in the best situation. The red lady said.

"Yes, we never thought that way before, because there are a lot of things that we can't do, and it's very different from what we think." Zhang Xian said.

The inspiring military band played the "Commander's Training Song", and many children stood up intuitively when they listened to such military music. Their dream may be as simple as being a Republican soldier.

The blind infantry company walked for a long time to get out of the crowd of farewells, their pockets stuffed with some food on the road, eggs. Steamed cakes, and some pancakes. Some people still have dumplings.

"Hey. You say, that new cultural teacher, can he fight? A sergeant asked a corporal.

"No, I look at him, white and pure, don't you see, the skin is whiter, whiter than a woman's hands and neck. I see, dress up, you can be a woman. The corporal said disdainfully. For the company assigned to the cultural instructors. A lot of things are dissatisfied. Why, because he doesn't have the slightest look of war, he can't carry much. The personal rucksack was still carried by their company commander. If he was given a musket, he would not be able to walk five miles, he would be exhausted to death, and most importantly, they were combat troops, and they were given a man like a maiden to fight, and many soldiers were dissatisfied, they thought that their commander was blind.

"However, I advise you to say less, the second squad leader said a few words because he was not used to it, and our company commander scolded him. You don't know how ugly the scolding is, if you let the company commander know. I'm telling you, don't say I didn't warn you. The corporal said kindly.

"Yes, you say, the ladies are here for our trip. Does he have that hard bone? The sergeant said dissatisfied.

"What did you say, deputy squad leader?" At this moment, their platoon commander shouted loudly from behind. The platoon commander is adjusting the formation. Prevent people from being left behind.

"No, nothing." The sergeant was startled and said quickly. But for that cultural teacher. are more or less dissatisfied. They are all rough people, but they all admire people who have ability, and in their opinion, the assigned cultural instructor is the least capable person.

Just when the whole company had an opinion on the cultural teachers, Zhang Zhen himself was also competing with himself.

He began to have the practice of diaries, because he wrote the company's combat logs, and not only these. He wrote many of the reports, and he had to read out some of them during meetings, and they needed to teach them the level of literacy in their company.

Zhang Zhen is a down-and-out scholar. In the middle of the road, he had no choice but to write letters to people in the county seat for a living. Hungry and full. It's in their twenties. None of the girls took a fancy to him. When the Republican Army came, he wanted to get a job in the government of the Republican Army, but unfortunately, businessmen and many scholars went. He, such a characterless person, progressed there. But there's no way to continue like that. When the mountain brigade came, it was asked to suffer a group of cultural instructors. The monthly salary is 150 republican dollars. Even when there is a war, there is a special allowance. The most important thing is that there is a way out, and if he seeks a way out, he can come out and become an official. As soon as he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, Zhang Zhen signed up. There were not many people who signed up, because many people were worried that they would die in battle. But Zhang Zhen did it anyway. Because he had to do it, there was also a sick old mother at home. He didn't have the money to see a doctor, and if he became a cultural teacher, the local government would give preferential treatment to the families of Republican Army officers, for this. He signed up.

But it's only been a few days since I came, and there was going to be a war. He couldn't adapt to such a life yet. For cultural faculty like them. The IRA takes it very seriously. They are equipped with the best supplies. For example, new blankets, new boots. There are also cowhide belts. The clothes are also new. The food is also good, at least two meals of meat in a month. He didn't even know what meat tasted like. But the war is also very hard.

Zhang Zhen had never walked such a long road, they had to walk more than thirty miles a day, and the boots issued to him were good, but there were iron nails underneath. Walking for a long time also grinds the feet. The soles of his feet were blistered with blood. It was the first time he had walked such a long way. The company commander is very enthusiastic, his backpack is the company commander's back, and he bears any difficulties, just like his eldest brother. What are the difficulties. can be solved in a timely manner. It's a pity that none of the whole company is looking at him squarely. This annoyed him. He didn't know why Quanlian looked at him that way.

"How? Can you still eat it? If not, I'll carry you. Company Commander Zhang Blind walked up to Zhang Zhen with a smile and said.

"Nope. No, no, no. No need. Sir. I can still walk, I'll go on my own. Zhang Zhen refused. He heard from some people that some things in the country were all his own, saying that he was a soft bone and a woman, and Zhang Zhen decided to be a man for them to see.

The brethren watched. I can't trouble the company commander anymore. I can walk. Zhang Zhen gritted his teeth and persevered. His blood blisters had worn out. Blood, pus, had wet his socks. But he had to persevere.

"Sir. Otherwise, I'll tell you about the information I've seen, can you? Zhang Zhen said at this time. He found that there were a lot of documents in the Republican Army, and many of them were battle examples, tactical manuals, and training manuals, through which he learned about the difference between the Republican Army, and he took these things and assigned homework. And, a lot of things. His company commander couldn't read it, and he couldn't understand it. The only way to do this is for a cultural instructor like him to teach them to do it. There is no way to do it.

"Okay. Sometimes, as soon as I hear from you, I understand. You've got a good head, and you're ready to go to military school. Zhang said with a smile. Although Zhang Blind felt that this person was not good enough at first, he looked like a girl, but people have different things, for example, they are careful, they know a lot of words, those who are sent down and copied down copywriting, battle brochures, people read it, they all understand, and most importantly, the explanation is also very clear, what things are said in his mouth, said very well. He felt that he had gotten a treasure for his blind man.

The most important thing is that the other party reads and reads very clearly, and the only oil lamp in the whole company is given to him to use. He read the book, and then the next day he told the blind man what he was holding in his hand, and the blind man understood everything. That's the benefits, that's the fighting power. Such a situation, he thinks, is very good. Very advantageous.

"That's right. Can you tell us about cavalry, which I need. And then there's the pre-war mobilization. Tell me about it, too. Zhang Blind said with interest.

"Okay. Sir, I'll tell you about it. Zhang Zhen said.

"That's right. And that waterside story, you have a chance to tell everyone, we all love to hear it. Hehe. Zhang Blind knew that the relationship between Zhang Zhen and the company was tense, and he told those battle stories, which were the things that many soldiers liked to hear, and by easing the relationship with them in this way, he felt that the problem was not very big, and their situation could get better.

"Hmm. All right. Zhang Zhen said. Zhang Zhen himself didn't know, when he was talking about these contents, he himself was also accepting a new change, but he didn't know it himself. The will to fight of the Republican Army, the fighting manual, to some extent, had a great influence on him, because there were many things that they needed to do in order to solve such a situation. Only then can their results be better.
