I heard that there were still people among the workers who recognized themselves. and clearly shouted his name, Liu Changshun couldn't help but be stunned. He never thought that he would meet acquaintances in Beiman, which was thousands of miles away from the Guannai.

After taking a closer look at the person who shouted his name, his hair and beard were almost braided, and he was wearing a tattered gray cloth military uniform, he couldn't help but step forward excitedly and hugged this person, and tears of excitement flowed: "Old company commander, you will be here like this?" I didn't expect to live to see you. ”

Looking at Liu Changshun, who was extremely excited and hugged the person in front of him and did not let go, Ma Chunsheng, who knew that he might meet his former comrades-in-arms before being captured, frowned and wanted to say something. In his opinion, Liu Changshun, who is already the head of the regiment, is crying and laughing here, so that the cadres and soldiers below can see what kind of system?

It's just that before Ma Chunsheng could open his mouth, he was pulled by Wang Xiaoming beside him. Wang Xiaoming shook his head at him slightly, signaling him not to persuade him. Let Liu Changshun go. The person who can make Liu Changshun so excited must be extremely important to him. And to be able to meet here thousands of kilometers away from the Guannai, it can almost be said that it is a life of nine deaths.

And in the past few days, because the battle has not been fought well, although Liu Changshun, who has been criticized repeatedly, cannot be said to have been wronged, it is enough for him to be uncomfortable. When he encounters someone who can still see each other in his life, let him vent, it is still good for him.

Seeing Wang Xiaoming stop him, Ma Chunsheng, who understood his intentions as an old classmate and current partner, didn't open his mouth after a little thought. The two of them stood aside quietly and waited for Liu Changshun to calm down. It's just that before Liu Changshun could completely calm down, a telegram from the headquarters took the lead in breaking the silence for a moment.

After taking the telegram and reading it carefully, Ma Chunsheng, who turned his gaze to Liu Changshun again, handed the telegram in his hand to Wang Xiaoming and said: "The commander has called to commend us for taking the Xingshan Fortress in a short period of time. However, there are some differences of opinion on our next steps. ”

"The commander's intention is to let us send all the rescued laborers from Xingshan Street to Xingshan Fortress for unified resettlement, while we will all stay and protect these laborers. Wait for Wang Guangyu's group, which has already entered the north bank of the Neta River, to arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and after taking over, continue north. ”

After a quick scan of the telegram, Wang Xiaoming frowned and said, "Lao Ma, in the entire Sanjiang area, except for the Fourth Division of Jiamusi, there is no large Japanese army around. Leaving us all behind, first, there is no need for this at all. Second, after our army took the Xingshan Fortress, the entire northward combat intention has been exposed. If we delay here and fail to open the passage before the Japanese puppet army, it will bring a lot of unnecessary trouble to the next operation. ”

Regarding Wang Xiaoming's concerns, Ma Chunsheng also felt the same. As a detachment of reinforced regimental size, it is inappropriate to be dragged here in its entirety.

And the commander's meaning, judging from this telegram, I am afraid that he is more worried about leaving only one battalion of troops, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to take care of the huge number of laborers while holding the vast area of the fortress of Xingshan.

The commander should have been worried that once the Japanese puppet army rushed to reoccupy all of them, even some of the fortresses, before the arrival of a regiment, it would have a great impact on the next activities of the main force, and even the overall plan. With the current ability of the troops to attack the fortifications, it is simply impossible to regain the fortress of Xingshan occupied by the Japanese army.

However, in Ma Chunsheng's opinion, although the Xingshan fortress is large, it is enough to leave a battalion to protect these laborers, and to occupy the fortress before Wang Guangyu arrives. The Nada River is not far from here in a straight line, even if it is a mountain road, with the daily marching training level of Wang Guangyu's regiment, one day has arrived.

As for the Japanese puppet army, since the news did not spread, according to the sparsely populated shape of North Manchuria, even if they knew that Xingshan Fortress and Xingshan Street had been lost, this time would not be too short. When they reacted, they didn't know it would be at least two days later.

It is simply not necessary to leave all the troops here. In this way, the original intention of the soldier's speed has been lost. Although the number of Japanese puppet troops in Luobei County is not too much, if there is preparation in advance, it will be a difficult bone for the troops after all.

Ma Chunsheng hesitated for a while, took out a pen and paper, drafted another telegram, and handed it to Wang Xiaoming: "Lao Wang, I think we should once again telegraph our thoughts to the headquarters and explain our reasons to the commander and chief of staff again. I really can't do it, so I will telegraph to the headquarters in my own name. As Chief of Staff, I have the right to present my opinion to my superiors on the battle plan. ”

After carefully reading the telegram redrafted by Ma Chunsheng, Wang Xiaoming thought about it slightly, took out a pen and signed his name on the telegram, raised his head to look at Ma Chunsheng, and said in a resolute tone: "No, this telegram is still jointly signed by the three of us." It's not appropriate for you to sign this name yourself. Don't forget, we are all commanders of the 2nd Regiment. ”

Speaking of which, seeing that the atmosphere was a little strict, Wang Xiaoming, who wanted to ease the atmosphere, smiled slightly and said, "You let Lao Liu stay here and wait for Wang Guangyu to arrive, it is more uncomfortable than killing him." This guy has always wanted to fight a good fight and save face for the second regiment. How can I, as a political commissar, not cooperate? After all, we are one. ”

After that, Wang Xiaoming asked the guards around him to find Liu Changshun, who was shouting his name.

After hearing the political commissar shouting to him and knowing that something must have happened, he immediately handed over the person he was familiar with to Liu Changshun, who was his guard to settle down, and rushed over all the way, Wang Xiaoming handed him the two telegrams in his hand and said: "The commander does not agree with our plan, and asks us to continue north after receiving a regiment here." ”

"Lao Ma and I have studied just now, and it is not necessary for all the troops to stay here, and it is a little inappropriate. So Lao Ma and I have decided to telegraph our opinion to the headquarters again, what do you think? This disobedient telegram, did you sign it? ”

Liu Changshun quickly glanced at the two telegrams, then took out the pen that Wang Xiaoming had just inserted back into his pocket, quickly signed his name on the telegram drafted by Ma Chunsheng, and marked the three triangles representing the urgency in the blank space of the telegram.

After handing over the signed telegram in his hand to the telegraph operator and ordering him to send it out immediately, Liu Changshun turned his head to the two people and said, "Why don't you sign it?" You and the chief of staff have signed, and if I, the military commander, don't sign it, wouldn't it be too unreasonable? What's more, I don't bite when I have more lice now, and I don't have to worry about debts when I have more debts. I received a lot of criticism, and I didn't care about this time. ”

Regarding Liu Changshun's non-existent expression, Wang Xiaoming said a little angrily: "You didn't read the content of the telegram carefully, and it was signed, so you are not afraid that we will sell you?" You must know that disobedience on the battlefield is a big crime. You, the military commander, are the first person responsible. There is a possibility of dismissal. ”

Regarding Wang Xiaoming's criticism, Liu Changshun said without caring at all: "Old Wang, don't say that I, Liu Changshun, will say a big thing today." If you want to say that someone sells me, I believe whoever it is. But only you, Lao Wang, and Lao Ma, I don't believe it. Especially you, Lao Wang, I don't believe it at all. ”

"Lao Wang, you were transferred to me as the political commissar by the deputy chief of staff of the Second Route Army Headquarters. Although there were fewer soldiers with him before, he also came up step by step from the staff officer, the teaching captain, the chief of staff of the division, the director of the political department, and the political commissar of the division. Not to mention experience, not to mention ability. ”

"Whether it is commanding operations or the day-to-day management of the troops, I am much better than me, the regiment commander who is promoted by plane, in the words of the commander. Since I became the political commissar, not only has he managed the troops in an orderly manner without me having to worry too much, but he has also been letting me go like a big brother. If you had that ambition, you would have gotten me down a long time ago, and you would have to wait until today? ”

"As for the old horse, it's even more human sperm, and it's even stronger than me that I don't know Lixu. Otherwise, in Jiamusi, the commander would not have even come up with three indiscriminate means to pull him into the army. ”

"If he wants to be the head of this regiment, he can directly come down and become the commander of this regiment, so why should he be aggrieved to be a chief of staff for me? If he brings it up, I can even ask Hyun directly. In all conscience, with the abilities of the two of you, whoever is the commander of this northward detachment is more suitable than me. ”

"I was just an ordinary soldier before I was captured, if I hadn't been captured, I was still messing around in the pass, and I had done my best, I'm afraid I would have mentioned the position of company commander now. As for the position of the head of the regiment, we have never thought about it before. ”

"I am different from Wang Guangyu and Du Kaishan. Wang Guangyu himself served as the deputy commander of the Anti-Japanese Federation. Du Kaishan turned out to be an officer in the Sichuan army, and he was promoted by a veteran. All are experienced masters. ”

"I'm just a soldier. He was still a soldier who only enlisted in the Red Army when it entered the Eastern Expedition. I have never even been a squad leader, and I have no experience in leading troops, let alone in commanding operations independently. It can't be compared with one of them who used to be in a high position and a veteran who was born in oil. There is no way to compare with those of your two military schools. ”

"It is because I am aware of my own shortcomings that I have been more cautious when fighting. I am afraid that my momentary recklessness will bring danger to the troops. To put it bluntly, we don't have that ability, but we were driven ducks on the shelves, so why do we have to weigh ourselves? As a result, I didn't expect to suffer even with you. ”

Regarding Liu Changshun's heart-wrenching words, Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng glanced at each other, shook their heads and said, "Old Liu, don't think about it. You are not the only one with the lack of experience among the cadres of the army. I used to be the political commissar of the division, but at that time, I led a division that was not as large as the battalion we have now. In terms of experience in leading troops, I don't have much more experience than you. ”

"Lao Ma too, since the 918 incident took off his military uniform, he has never led a soldier, and the previous things have almost been lost. If you let us be the head of this regiment, we may not be better than you. Besides, from the commander's point of view, since you were selected as the commander of this regiment, it is also because you have outstanding qualities. ”

"Otherwise, you think that the commander's personality will let an incapable person be the commander of the regiment because you and he are a person who comes out of the system, but only the actual interests of the troops? You also underestimate the commander. ”

"You are brave in battle, you dare to fight, this is your merit. But when it comes to leading troops, you do have some shortcomings, and you lack the wit to respond on the battlefield. But these are not uncorrectable. Everyone's growth needs a process, and no one can mature all at once. ”

"It's not easy for you to recognize your own shortcomings. Your over-seeking and lack of resourcefulness on the battlefield is also caused by your awareness of your own shortcomings. It's a bit rigid, but it's better than the frizzy guys. ”

"The commander values you very much, and always wants you to be truly mature. Otherwise, I would not have kicked you out of the position of deputy director of the political department that I had already prescribed, and I would not have been transferred to you as chief of staff under the extremely tight manpower situation of the headquarters. It is to let us assist you well and let you mature as much as possible. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaoming suddenly remembered something, pointed to Liu Changshun's nose and scolded with a smile: "It turns out that you kid also knows that I have been letting you, you have been fucking pretending to be confused for me." Now that I've said that, I'll tell you, your kid is turning his face when he talks to my dog, don't say that I didn't recognize people that day. ”

Hearing Wang Xiaoming's words, Liu Changshun, who knew that he had been too much before, scratched his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Wasn't I stressed before?" This can't catch the evil spirit of the cadres and soldiers below. Who made you my political commissar in office, and my big brother in terms of age. I can only send it to you. ”

Regarding Liu Changshun's answer, Wang Xiaoming and Ma Chunsheng shook their heads speechlessly. It turns out that this kid is pretending to be confused, and what is even more excessive is that he is still holding a big hat and casually buttoning it on people. What does it mean that whoever makes you a political commissar and a big brother again, he can make up this kind of lame reason.

The three of them talked and laughed, and the scene that seemed a little depressing because of the headquarters' opposition to their plan became a little lively. However, this activity did not last long before it was broken by a telegram from headquarters.
