The commander of the third battalion arrived soon, he was a young old Red Army, coming down from Jinggang Mountain, Chen Geng asked when he saw it: "In addition to guns, what else have you seized?" ”

"Is there something, I don't know what it is?" The commander of the third battalion was still fiddling with things that didn't look like weapons just now, and he didn't know how to use them.

"Send them all." Chen Geng's eyes were very sharp, and he immediately noticed a trace of ridicule at the corner of Jian An's mouth, but he didn't say anything, most of the soldiers in the Red Army had little education, and many cadres were still literate in the Red Army.

"And our specimens." A young man in the group of exploration team members who had been sitting on the side got up and shouted.

"Specimens were sent over, too." Chen Geng immediately said to the third battalion commander.

"Specimens? What specimen? The commander of the third battalion was puzzled, but then remembered that when he captured these people, he found the stones dragged on the mules, and several soldiers untied the stones and threw them away, only pulling the mules, and some of the captives ran back to ask for those stones, but they were beaten back by several rifle butts. He asked tentatively, "Are they the stones?" ”

"That's ore." Chang Longqing couldn't help but shout, those ores were the result of their work for half a year, and they endured it like this, which made him heartache, he thought that there was no way to come back, but he didn't expect that there would be a turnaround.

"What, isn't it just a pile of stones, what ore is not ore." The commander of the third battalion said nonchalantly.

"Professor Chang, forget it, you can look for it later," Wei Wengang persuaded, but the next sentence almost made the third battalion commander jump: "I told these dirt buns, and they don't understand it either." ”

"Damn, it's the other way around," the third battalion commander rolled up his sleeves and was about to move his fist.

Chen Geng couldn't help laughing: "Third battalion commander, he is not wrong, you are a dirt bun," and then Chen Geng turned to Wei Wengang: "Before he participated in the revolution, he was a poor peasant, he couldn't even eat enough, let alone read and write, and he only went to school in the army after participating in the revolution." ”

"Isn't that the same as us, I also learned the culture in the army." One of the guards interjected.

"Little brother, are you also a poor peasant?" The commander of the third battalion was interested, and in the battle with them, he found that this group of enemies had very strong combat skills, accurate marksmanship, and proper firepower, which seemed to be the commander's lack of experience.

"Poor peasants?" The guard was curious about this term, and after thinking about it, he said, "Do you mean someone who rents someone else's land to plant, if that's the case, then I'm a poor peasant." ”

"Then you are also a sufferer, join our Red Army, our Red Army is the army of the poor." The commander of the third battalion eagerly mobilized.

"Join you? Rebelling like you? Don't do it. ”

The disdainful expressions of the guards almost made the third battalion commander fall and fight, but Chen Geng smiled and said, "Little brother, then what is wrong with you talking about rebellion?" ”

"Our Captain Zhuang said that the difference between you and us is that the concept of saving the country and governing the country is different, and this difference can be discussed, and it is not necessary to use a knife or a gun, and kill you to the death. It's like a family, if two brothers have different opinions, they have to kill people with knives. He said that he was bullying us, but we ourselves were still in a civil war, so we were bullied by others, and you were also responsible. ”

"Who said that Chiang Kai-shek didn't resist and said that he didn't rely on us, and he still blocked us when we went north to resist." The commander of the third battalion was a little angry, these reactionaries were really stubborn: "Regiment commander, just kill it." ”

"Hehe, go north to resist?" Wei Wengang couldn't help laughing: "You guys are slapping swollen faces and filling fat, and wandering is wandering." ”

"You!" The commander of the third battalion stretched out his hand and pulled out his gun, Chen Geng hurriedly stopped, but he secretly admired in his heart that this Zhuang Cultural Revolution had put a lot of effort into ideological education.

Wei Wengang was not satisfied, as if he didn't see that the third battalion commander was about to run away, he still mocked: "Just you guys, these equipment, even we can't beat them, and you still fight with Yue himself?" I'm afraid it's gone after two or three battles. ”

"Then how did you become prisoners?" Chen Geng asked lightly.

"I have already told you the reason for being captured, you ask this battalion commander, how many people have you killed, we have four killed and three wounded, and one of them was wounded by you after laying down his arms." Jian An said coldly.

"What's going on?" Chen Geng's expression became stern: "Third battalion commander? ”

The commander of the third battalion was stunned at once, and after a firefight, twenty-six people were killed in the third battalion, and eight others were wounded.

"You are a veteran, an old comrade, have you forgotten the three disciplines and eight points of attention?" Chen Geng was very angry, the cadres and regiments are all cadres, and the requirements are naturally stricter, otherwise how will they lead the troops in the future.

"Your casualties?" Seeing the appearance of the third battalion commander, Chen Geng suppressed his anger and asked.

The third battalion commander didn't want to lose face in front of Wei Wengang, and he didn't want to say it, Chen Geng became even more popular, and his voice rose an octave: "Say!" ”

"Yes, twenty-six people were killed and eight wounded, and the dog's gun was accurate." The commander of the third battalion replied immediately.

Chen Geng was stunned, and then there was a cramp in his heart, these are all officers, they are the essence of the army, the battle of Tucheng, only more than 100 people were killed, and only about 30 people were killed in the forced crossing of Kyaukpingdu and defeating Liu Yuantang, but such a small detachment caused more than 30 casualties among them, which is not worth it.

Chen Geng glared at the third battalion commander angrily, the third battalion commander knew that he was in trouble, Chen Geng's nostrils were rough for a long time before he scolded: "Get out, go and get the things, and those ore specimens, if you lose them, find them for me." ”

The commander of the third battalion didn't dare to come out, turned around and ran, and after a while, Chen Geng slowly calmed down, and he saluted the members of the exploration team: "I'm sorry, my subordinates shouldn't beat people, this is the usual supervision, please forgive me." ”

Jian An and Wei Wengang were a little surprised, they frowned slightly, and then stood up and saluted: "Senior is serious. ”

"I was wrong just now, you didn't disgrace Zhuang Wenge." Chen Geng was very frank, and changed his mistake when he knew it: "But I don't agree with what you said, our Principal Jiang really doesn't resist, you see, in order to encircle and suppress our Red Army, a million troops were sent, but what about me?" The three eastern provinces did not let go of a single shot, the Rehe armistice agreement lost half of Rehe, the Tanggu agreement lost the Great Wall, and he said that he was pressing step by step, but he retreated step by step, what is this not a traitor? ”

"A big husband can bend to stretch," Wei Wengang's eloquence was obviously better than Jian An's, and he rushed to answer every time: "What we practice is to exchange space for time, and the War of Resistance is a long-term war." ”

"General Chen," Cao Ruizhi suddenly interjected: "I agree with Captain Zhuang's point of view on this point, the War of Resistance was a long-term war, and during the 918 Incident, we had almost no heavy industry, and the output of steel was only one percent of the original one, and there was basically no military industry, and even bullets had to be imported from abroad, how could this be fought?" ”

"Yes, four years have passed, and we have built a lot of factories in Chongqing, which are all national defense industries to lay the foundation for the War of Resistance," a young team member stood up and said: "I also participated in the [***] demonstration in Beiping back then, demanding a declaration of war on the political axe, but in the past four years, I have learned how weak our country is and how difficult the War of Resistance is." General Chen, to tell you unceremoniously, that if the development of the southwest continues at this rate, we will be able to go north to regain lost territory in less than ten years. ”

"General Chen, do you know why we're here?" Chang Longqing said: "There is a big iron mine here, we want to build a steel city here, with steel, we can make weapons, we can fight the book, General Chen, you and Captain Zhuang are good friends, stay, don't care about the opinions of the party, work with us, go to the battlefield to play their talents." ”

Chen Geng couldn't laugh or cry a little, he spent so much money to actually want to pull these people into the Red Army, especially those young exploration team members and escort members, but he didn't expect to be mobilized by others first. He seemed to see Zhuang Jihua rolling around laughing in Yucheng.

"How do you know that Chen Geng and Zhuang Wenge are good friends?" There was a voice full of Shaoxing flavor from outside the door, Chen Geng immediately jumped up when he heard this voice, and a beautiful bearded man came in from outside the door.

"Vice Chairman Zhou, why are you here?" Chen Geng was very surprised.

"You Chen Geng is running so fast, I have to chase faster." Zhou Elai said with a smile.

Jian An and Wei Wengang immediately knew who it was, and they immediately saluted Zhou Elai: "Director Zhou." ”

"Sit down, let's talk slowly." Zhou Enlai returned the salute casually, and then beckoned them to sit down: "Zhuang Wenge has paid close attention to your education, we haven't seen each other for many years, how is he in Yucheng?" ”

"We've been here for more than half a year, and we haven't seen the captain for a long time." Wei Wengang sighed: "We have learned some information from the newspaper, Yucheng is engaged in rent reduction and interest reduction, I'm afraid it will not be easy." ”

Zhang Jingjiang once tried it in Zhejiang for a period of time, but then died without a problem. Will the Cultural Revolution succeed? Zhou Elai showed a worried look, and his attitude immediately won the favor of most ordinary team members.

"It's going to work." One of the team members said quickly.

"Why? Tell us your reasoning? Wei Wengang was about to stop it, but Zhou Elai had already opened his mouth to ask.

"I can't tell," the team member said a little shyly, "the captain must have a way, he has been planning for several years, and he has never failed." ”

Zhou Elai thought silently and said: "Well, he is like this, everything is planned and then moved, hoping to succeed." Although this is not the most radical solution. ”

Wei Wengang opened his mouth to refute, but he didn't speak, but his eyes showed disbelief, Zhou E noticed it, he just smiled faintly: "I want to ask you to bring me a letter to him, is it okay?" ”

Perhaps it was Zhou Elai's politeness that made everyone feel a little apologetic, Jian An hurriedly replied: "If you can, you should serve." ”

"We're going to take care of you, are there any of you in the city?" Zhou E came to ask.
