"I'm tired of walking and hungry, aren't you? Why is it so unconfident to speak? Straighten up and tell me loudly, did you hear me? Lei Jian shouted dissatisfied.

"Resolutely carry out orders." Although the answer this time is not loud, I feel that I still have confidence.

After Lei Jian made the arrangements, he said to Principal Yan: "Principal Yan, the horse convoy will be handed over to you, and the matter reported to the detachment headquarters is also up to you, I will take the soldiers to build a simple barracks first, it will not be too long, I will report to you with seventeen students." ”

Principal Yan nodded and praised: "Okay, everything is up to your arrangement, when you enter the school gate, there are school rules, and you have to listen to the school when you get there, you don't want to have the final say, right?" Hahaha, I'm waiting for you at school. ”

The commander of the militia company, Wang Lian, came up and said: "I'll call you Brother Lei, so it looks affectionate, don't you want to build a barracks?" This requires a lot of materials, our militia company has all covered these things, we have a lot of strength, and we will get it done soon, hahaha, your brother won't dislike it, right? ”

"I can't ask for it, I really can't ask for it, I thank you in advance, and then my Thunder Sword will definitely give you a good return, hahaha." Lei Jian said and ordered the troops: "The troops are disbanded, take the company as a unit, find a territory, and act immediately." ”

The soldiers who newly joined the army, they didn't expect to march all the way, and they fought a few battles with the little devils on the way, and when they arrived at the base of the Eighth Route Army, they didn't even breathe, and they had to start building houses, and some of the new soldiers were reluctant and showed dissatisfaction.

On the whole, in the tense atmosphere in full swing, the new soldiers felt that the more they worked, the more interesting it became, and all companies, platoons, and squads secretly competed with each other and began to compete in a big way.

After about four hours of work, two large rows of improvised houses were built, and the soldiers who had been assigned to their new quarters were cheerful when they saw the stations they had built out by themselves.

Lei Jian watched the soldiers happily go in and out, laughing and greeting each other, and a very harmonious atmosphere slowly spread in the barracks.

Niu Dali walked into Lei Jian's room, saw Lei Jian fiddling with a desk, and said with a smile: "Captain Lei, are you going to take classes in our barracks?" ”

At this moment, someone at the door shouted a report: "Report to Captain Lei Jian, the high political commissar of the detachment telegraphs, ordering you to reply immediately." ”

Lei Jian received a telegram from the high political commissar, ordering him to arrange the two companies and seize the time to complete the training, and the other cadets should take turns to lead the training in the company.

Principal Yan looked at Lei Jian and said with a smile: "Lei Jian, you have now registered at the school, then you will be a regular student from now on, I hope you can take the lead and cooperate with the school to discipline your students." ”

"Don't worry, Principal Yan, we, the students, are brave soldiers who kill devils on the battlefield, and when we study in school, we will definitely be good students who are disciplined and study hard."

Lei Jian returned to the company, arranged the trainees on duty, and took the other trainees to report to the school collectively.

In order to facilitate the study and management of more than a dozen students of Lei Jian, the school arranged them in a class, and added some more students, Lei Jian was the squad leader, and the study and work of entering the Jiaodong Military and Political Cadres School officially began.

The Jiaodong Military and Political Cadres School was established by five detachments, and the high political commissar concurrently served as the first principal, and the school was originally located in the county seat, and was evacuated to Guojiadian, a ravine not far from the county seat, for the study, work and life safety of the students.

The military academy was moved to the vicinity of Guojiadian in Yenanshan, and to the west it was bordered by Mashan, which was part of the Daze Mountains in the Pingjiang and Ye border districts, and was also the earliest base established in Jiaodong.

Guojiadian Military and Political Cadre School is too simple. Lei Jian and the other students walked into the classroom, saying that the classrooms were actually two dilapidated old houses, the houses were very dim, and when the sun went down, the houses were so dark that they couldn't see anything clearly.

There is no desk, the student learning desk is to use a long wooden board to sit on the square pier built of stone, sit on a small bench nailed with wooden planks, there is a small wooden board in front, painted with black ash in the belly of the pot is the blackboard, at that time chalk is very expensive, the teacher is not willing to write a word on the blackboard until the last resort.

What textbooks do students have? Even the teacher took the notes written by himself to find the information, and the better ones were mimeographed into booklets, but not one per person, but several people read it together.

The composition of the school's teaching staff is very complex, some are officers with some knowledge in the front-line troops, and some are transferred as teachers, some are students who have graduated from college or high school to become teachers, and some are teachers hired from public schools.

Teachers are divided into two types: military instructors and political instructors, and sometimes detachments or local anti-Japanese governments draw cadres and take time to come to class.

Lei Jian looked at the simple classroom, the students without textbooks, and the lack of teaching quality of teachers, and deeply felt the lack of talents and the hardships of the conditions in this period.

He has his own opinions on military and politics that his teachers sometimes talk about, and he often puts forward some new terms and theories in class.

He, the director of the training department of a lieutenant colonel who had received higher education before the crossing, mastered advanced military theories and political thoughts, compared with the knowledge mastered by everyone during the Anti-Japanese War, which was sixty or seventy years advanced.

Lei Jian was a little bit more responsible at first, and he couldn't stand listening to it, and finally he couldn't hold back his hand and stood up, and tactfully put forward his own opinions on the military politics that the teacher said.

One by one, the teachers shouted headaches, found Principal Yan and said aggrievedly: "Principal Yan, I just accepted the student named Lei Jian, and he talked exaggeratedly, and then he said the truth, it sounds a bit interesting, but I don't know where he learned this knowledge, and he can't take this lesson that he stirred." ”

Principal Yan heard what the teacher said, and he didn't believe it, and was ready to listen to a few classes secretly, to see what new ways this naughty Lei Jian could make trouble, and he actually made the teachers both aggrieved and admired.

Principal Yan, who was standing outside the classroom, listened to a few military and political classes with his class, and the more he listened, the more he felt that this little Lei Jian was not simple, especially the document issued by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, and the head of the lecture was the Tao, and even he, the principal, felt that the theory and advanced military and political concepts mentioned by Lei Jian were too incredible.

Principal Yan called Lei Jian to his office and talked in detail for a morning, and the more he discussed with Lei Jian, the more he felt that what Lei Jian said was like a red line, guiding his thoughts and concepts to a higher stage.

He was too skeptical that Lei Jian, a rural boy with a simple resume, could have such an esoteric political and military theoretical foundation.

Principal Yan promptly reported Lei Jian's performance in school to the senior political commissar of the Fifth Detachment of the Eighth Route Army in great detail, and the reply he received was: Don't interfere too much with the ideas and theories conveyed by Lei Jian, and if you have the opportunity, you can ask Lei Jian to give more lectures to the students in the school, which should improve the military and political theory of the students.

Gao Political Commissar finally said: "Lao Yanna, don't hit the enthusiasm of the stinky boy Lei Jian, but also protect, as for why Lei Jian has a performance beyond ordinary people, I repeat, Lei Jian, this kid is very thoughtful, you have to grasp the cultivation and support of Lei Jian, this is also the spirit of the instructions of the superiors, do you understand?" ”

Principal Yan understood the spirit of the instructions of the higher authorities, and took even more care of Lei Jian, and a month later, Lei Jian actually became the backbone of the military and political cadre school, and the teacher.

In addition to his normal teaching work, Lei Jian also had to find time to organize the training of two recruit companies, and he also had to discuss the new knowledge and new concepts he had learned with more than a dozen students from the fifth detachment.

One day, Lei Jian received a telegram from the senior political commissar of the detachment, ordering him to shoulder the safety of the Jiaodong Military and Political Cadres School, cooperate with the local armed forces around Guojiadian in the base area, and guard against the sneak attack of the enemy puppet army on the base area.

In order to pay close attention to the security situation in the vicinity of Guojiadian, Lei Jian ordered three cadets to lead a platoon every day to reconnoiter at the edge of the base area; first, to temper the new soldiers' experience in fighting against the enemy, and second, to closely monitor the movements of the enemy's puppet army and protect the safety of the school.

On this day, Wang Xiaoliang, Li Gang, and Cao Shangui received an order to each lead a squad to reconnoiter in the east, south, and north directions to prevent a sneak attack by the enemy's puppet army on the base area.
