Chapter Seventy-Two: Zhang Cuihua Stays
Huang Changsheng and the others can be regarded as exhausted, and in the end they can only stare dryly, obeying this girl's energy, and disturbing a few people who are not at peace. Eā”.* I can only tell her that they can't be the master of this matter, only Brother Fan. In the past few days, Zhang Cuihua ran to Huang Changsheng's side every day and asked Liao Fan when he would wake up. And then the whole garrison knew that there was such a girl.
In the early morning of the next day, Liu Chundao took Liao Fan to the cemetery of the second platoon leader, and Liao Fan beat Liu Chundao away. Sitting in front of the grave of the second platoon commander, he said to himself: "Brother, I asked your company commander to search the entire camp, and there is only this half bottle of wine left." ā
"Let's have a drink today, hey! When you entered the guard company, you wanted to protect me, but I didn't think that you became the first brother to die under my gun, I am sorry for you......" The more Liao Fan said, the more excited he became, and unconsciously his face was full of tears, and finally Liao Fan kowtowed heavily in front of the grave of the second row leader.
However, all this was seen by Zhang Cuihua, who was following behind, and when Liao Fan sorted out his mood and was about to go back, Zhang Cuihua suddenly came out from behind a tree: "Oh, I didn't expect such a big person, I secretly ran here to cry." ā
Liao Fan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes indiscriminately: "Why did you come with you?" ā
"If I don't come, I don't know if I can see your great god in the Year of the Monkey!" Zhang Cuihua did not continue to talk about what had just happened.
"Tell me something!" Liao Fan said.
"I wanted to stay in the army, and they said that only you can call the shots, so I came to you." Zhang Cuihua said.
"Our army does not recruit female soldiers now, and if you really want to stay, you can go to the hospital as a medical worker, there is a shortage of manpower.
Zhang Cuihua was anxious: "I'm not a nurse." I'm going to lead my troops into battle, even if it's a squad of soldiers. ā
"No, let the women fight, unless the men are dead." Liao Fan mainly didn't want to leave a person who didn't know the details.
"Why can't I stay! Women are not necessarily worse than men in war, and you have seen that my marksmanship is much better than that of your soldiers, and I can teach them to shoot even if you make me a soldier. Zhang Cuihua continued to persevere.
Liao Fan knew that he would not die so easily, so he could only say what he really thought: "Do you think an ordinary person's marksmanship will be so good?" Look at your fellow countrymen, they can't even hold a gun, but you can do it in a hundred steps. ā
"As I already said, when I was in school in Peking, a teacher taught us to shoot."
"Okay, in that case, then I'll ask you a few questions, and if you can answer them, I can give you a chance." The reason why Liao Fan said this was that he had talked about Zhang Cuihua with a few of his former fellow villagers, she was indeed a local, but as for what she had experienced outside, it was unknown.
"Who taught you to shoot? Where is this person now? What party and what faction? "Liao Fan doesn't want to be associated with any party now, once there is a relationship.
"It's General Zhao!"
"Which General Zhao?"
"General Zhao Dengyu, because the teachers and students of our school once brought condolences to Xifengkou to comfort the soldiers of the 29th Army, and later when General Zhao led the troops to rest in Beiping, in order to thank the teachers and students of our school, we can agree to a request from our school. Then all our teachers and students trained in General Zhao's military camp for three months, and then because of the outbreak of war, we left the barracks, and finally got the news that General Zhao was martyred, and the little devil was going to enter Beiping, and all our teachers and students moved south, and I fell behind, so I went back to my hometown. Zhang Cuihua elaborated on her experience as much as possible.
"So you practiced good marksmanship at that time?"
"Of course not, after all, guns are limited, and we are female students, since I touched the gun for the first time, after I went back, I carved one myself with a wooden stick, and then I used that wooden gun to practice shooting posture, I didn't expect to use it!" Zhang Cuihua was a little ashamed when she talked about her unbearable past.
"Have you been in contact with people from other parties?" Liao Fan continued to ask.
"Of course there is, several of our teachers are great ** members, and we have been calling on the whole society to resist Japan and save the country, but unfortunately I am not, my uncle does not let me have too much contact with them."
"What does your uncle do?"
"My uncle is the last batch of students of the Qing government to stay abroad, he went abroad at the age of five, after returning to China, he wanted to save the country through industry, worked in the Beiping Machinery Manufacturing Bureau, was their vice chairman there, after the little devil entered Beiping, he occupied his factory, and his uncle committed suicide." Speaking of this, Zhang Cuihua was a little sad.
"Your uncle is also great, by the way, what did you learn in school?" Liao Fan continued to ask.
"Machinery, if there was no war, I would probably work with my uncle, and then we would be able to design the best machinery in the world." Zhang Cuihua said proudly.
"Okay, we can go back!" Liao Fan said.
"You're saying I can stay?" Zhang Cuihua said.
"I didn't say you could stay, I can only say give you a chance."
In the command headquarters, Huang Changsheng was busy making a mess of the things at hand, recruiting and training and other things together.
"Brother Fan, it's really not authentic, why did you leave these things to me to do. Isn't it okay to hand it over to Lao Hu or Lao Ma? Huang Changsheng complained, he didn't expect things to be so much.
Lao Hu and Lao Ma both glanced at him on the side, and the commander of the second battalion, Li Weimin, stayed in the second battalion, and in this battle, the losses of the second battalion were relatively large.
"Who's talking bad about me behind my back?" Liao Fan walked into the headquarters with Zhang Cuihua.
"Brother Fan, why don't you rest for a few more days?" Huang Changsheng saw Liao Fan walk in, and the crying face just now instantly turned into a smiling face, and Lao Hu and Lao Ma both felt that it was a pity that he didn't make a show.
"I won't come again, I'm afraid that some people won't be able to hold it and will pick on me."
"Hehe, Brother Fan, look at what you said, they are all your own brothers, where can you ignore it." Huang Changsheng said.
"Okay, let's take care of your special combat team again from today, the special combat team will be expanded to 800 people, and the regular combat personnel will be at least 500."
Huang Changsheng said happily: "I can finally do it." ā
"Brother Fan, you can't do this, the veterans we managed to save were all snatched away by this guy." Lao Hu immediately objected, this time to attack the stronghold, Lao Hu's gains are not only in weapons and equipment, but also in the quality of his own soldiers.
"Lao Hu, the soldiers of our special combat team have suffered a lot of losses this time, and you have also seen that the soldiers of the special combat team have played a lot of roles."
"Don't argue, the first and third battalions each contributed fifty veterans, the second battalion suffered a relatively large loss this time, let them contribute twenty veterans, and the rest were selected from the recruits, and the unqualified ones were returned, so it was decided.
"Yes, Brother Fan." A few people felt that this arrangement was quite reasonable.
"By the way, Changsheng, I want to introduce you to a new team member, Zhang Cuihua comes in." Liao Fan shouted outside the headquarters.
As soon as they saw Zhang Cuihua and the others, Lao Hu and Ma Wanzhong said to each other, there are other things in our camp, so we left first, leaving only Huang Changsheng's face full of depression.
"Brother Fan, don't you do it?"
Liao Fan ignored Huang Changsheng: "Zhang Cuihua, the three-month period, if you can withstand these three months of training, you can stay." ā
"Brother Fan, what do you say?" Zhang Cuihua asked.
"Nine words!"
