Chapter 147: You Can Only Rely on Yourself

Speaking of this, Tao Jingfei looked at the time. When he found that it was dinner time, he asked the guards to get some food and drinks. In any case, when his old comrades-in-arms come to him, he always wants to comfort him. At this stage, although No. 1 is forbidden to drink alcohol, it should be okay to drink some beer.

The current Tianjin War has ended, and there will be no major events in the short term. In the Japanese army warehouse in Tianjin, the troops got a lot of Rising Sun brand beer. Words are to be said, and you can drink as much as you want. Two bottles of beer per person, according to the amount of alcohol for two people, is even the level of gargling.

In fact, it is quite simple to say that it is a wine and food. In addition to a plate of prawns brought by the comfort troops of the Bohai Naval Region, there was a captured canned Japanese beef and a canned fruit, plus a plate of cabbage and a plate of fried vermicelli with sauerkraut. Although guarding Tianjin, the largest industrial and commercial city in North China, Tao Jingfei is still very attentive in the face of strict discipline.

Although there is no shortage of canned food itself, those canned luncheon meats mixed with too much starch and potatoes really have no taste. The canned beef of the Japanese devils has a lot more flavor than the canned luncheon meat made by the Anti-Union itself. Tanggu was the main supply depot of the Japanese army in North China, while Tianjin was the largest transshipment depot.

Although the first battle of Tanggu was destroyed by the Japanese army, most of the warehouses were destroyed first, and nothing good was obtained. However, in Tianjin, the largest material transfer station of the Japanese North China Front, the captured Japanese canned food, beer, sake, cigarettes and other supplies can be described as a mountain of mountains.

A few days ago, Tao Jingfei was here, and Tao Jingfei was specially approved to take out half of the captured Japanese canned food and transport it to the Shanxi battlefield to replenish it to the combat units of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei and Shanxi-Hebei-Shandong-Henan Military Regions. Everyone in their own troops gave out a canned Japanese beef for a change of taste.

After opening a bottle of beer and pouring a glass for Du Kaishan, Tao Jingfei said: "Over the years, you should be very clear about the habits of employing people. As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, he can accept that you have one or another fault in your personal body, as long as it doesn't touch his bottom line. ”

"But there is one thing, that is, he will never use people who are incapable, let alone mediocre. No matter how old this person is, Number One will not send him to battle. On his side, Number One may have some scruples. But this point is the bottom line that No. 1 never backs down. ”

"Don't look at our number one young, several years younger than you and me. But our No. 1 is definitely quite calm in employing people. It is not the kind of person who trades the lives of soldiers on the battlefield in order to achieve some personal purpose or to curry favor with a certain aspect. ”

"It can be said that among the cadres above the division level of our Anti-Japanese Federation, none of them are mediocre. Isn't this position of someone else earned by carrying their heads and fighting on the battlefield all these years? What qualifications do you have to look down on others? Do you have to fight for a high or low? ”

"Our old anti-Japanese federation also has some cadres who have been transferred from within, and they are not better than you in terms of qualifications. When you were a small platoon commander in the Sichuan Army, everyone was a cadre at the division and regiment level. But if the ability is not reached, it is not reached. It is better to hang this person up than to make any compromises on the use of cadres. ”

"You also know how much hardship it took for No. 1 to pinch so many mountains into a fighting collective. But when did No. 1, in order to maintain the stability of the troops, do things like row seats and divide fruits? These cadres above the division level in our field troops, which one was given for free? Isn't that the best of the best, the top sperm? ”

"Let's talk about these Jizhong battles, and Chen Hanzhang, who presided over the two battlefields of the east and west with you respectively. He is my old comrade-in-arms during the old Fifth Army, how does his ability compare to yours, can I not know? When Lao Chen was in the Old Fifth Army, he was the commander of the first-class main division, and I also served as the director of the Political Department for many years. ”

"In terms of ability, he is not worse than you, and No. 1 praised him as a rare talent in both military and political affairs. In terms of qualifications, people were the qualifications of division commanders long before the expansion of our troops, and they were far higher than you. Not to mention that the establishment of the old Anti-Japanese Federation was large and the size of the troops was small. No matter what other people say about a division, there are more than you in a platoon. Not to mention your performance on the battlefield, someone else performed worse than you in that battle? ”

"Let's not talk about it now, just when the old Anti-United Nations was old. In such a difficult environment, not only did he persist in fighting, not to mention winning so many battles, but he also expanded his troops. If you change Du Kaishan, can you do this alone, or do you do it better than others? ”

"Now the equipment and scale of the troops have come up, giving you a stage and space to display. If you change the environment of the old Anti-Japanese Federation, can you say that you are better than Lao Chen? You don't get along well with almost every political commissar. But Lao Chen, who is a family, has always been the military and political for so long. ”

"He's not as good as you in some tactics, especially in terms of daring to surprise and win, a little bit worse than you. But in terms of strategy and vision for some issues, I don't know Li Xu who is better than you. Your personality is too rigid, and you like to use a good sword on the battlefield to go off the rails and win by surprise, but you are a little less resilient. ”

"If you can't open the situation in a certain direction, or you need to stalemate in a certain place, and you need to open the situation quickly in a short time, you will definitely have an unexpected solution. But if you're put on the defensive, it's hard for you to fight well. To put it bluntly, you won't fight, because your bones are full of offensive blood. ”

"Your character flaws are destined to not only make your superiors tremble when you are on the defensive. And it is very likely that it will affect the deployment of superiors. But in a battle, there must always be people who gnaw bones, and you can't always think about eating meat. Defensive warfare, a battle that is destined to gnaw bones, still has to be fought by someone. You are a sharp knife, but if you don't use it well, you are likely to hurt yourself. ”

"Compared with your too rigidity, Lao Chen's character is rigid and soft, hiding needles in the cotton, and has always been open and closed on the battlefield, both rigid and soft, and the most important thing is to have both offense and defense. Whether it's defense or offense, it can be said that if you put it in that direction, you don't have to worry about No. 1 and your superiors. Especially in the use of armored troops, there is no one else in our Anti-Alliance."

"Don't talk about you, none of us can compare to you. You said that you Lao Du, this battle is really good, and you are a fierce general. But after this battle, don't cause some trouble, and let No. 1 wipe your ass in the back? This is why No. 1 has been tolerating you, and you try to change someone else? ”

"Your problems are not on the surface, the key problems are still in your bones, and the root is still in yourself. Of course, many problems are not developed overnight. But if you know what the problem is, but you don't change it, that's your own problem. ”

"Old man, listen to my advice as a big brother, some things will really accumulate if you don't change them. And your character of being empty-eyed, and even making enemies on all sides, will have big problems in the future. No. 1 asked you to calm down this time, and I think the intention is the same as mine. ”

"Number One hangs you up temporarily, seemingly as a punishment for you, but in fact to protect you. Otherwise, according to your character, if you continue like this, you will be the one who will be pitted in the future. Lao Du, just as No. 1 said, mentality determines fate. If you don't adjust your mentality well, something will happen sooner or later. ”

When Tao Jingfei said this, Du Kaishan did not refute, but just listened quietly. When Tao Jingfei's words fell, Du Kaishan was silent for a long time before he raised his wine glass and said to Tao Jingfei: "A conversation with you is better than reading a book for ten years." Old man, I understand No. 1's thoughts, and I understand yours. Don't worry, I'll never fall twice in a row in a pit. ”

"Lao Tao, it's a pity that you have now switched to the military side, otherwise the two of us are still working together, how much trouble will I have to do? In the war, I think I still have two brushes, but I can't play with the other aspects. There is someone around me who always reminds me that it is better after all. ”

Regarding Du Kaishan's words, Tao Jingfei said with some hatred: "You, from your words, you are far from mature." You say, the political commissars who are partnered with you are not the top ones among our anti-coalition political cadres? In terms of ability, that's not worse than me. Why is it that you can listen to what I say, but you can't listen to what others say, or you don't want to listen? ”

"Lao Du, in a word, striking iron has to be hard. There will be no second person who can really help you in this kind of thing except yourself. Your arrogance is not innate, it is cultivated by taking the road too smoothly. As long as you want to change, it's not that you can't really change it. ”

"At this point, you really learned from Lao Chen. In the past few years, no matter how his position has changed, Lao Chen has not been shocked. He is not older than you, but compared to you, he has always remained stable in his mentality. Of course, his mentality was cultivated while fighting guerrillas. ”

"The harsh environment of those years forced him to have no way to cultivate your arrogance. Because if you can't quickly adjust your mentality according to the changes in the situation in time, I am afraid that not only will you not be able to save yourself, but you will probably be trapped to death by the Japanese army and starve to death in the deep mountains and old forests. Not only could not strike at the enemy, but even their own troops had long since dispersed. ”

"In those years, he and all the cadres of the old Anti-Japanese Federation, including me, have experienced experiences that you can't compare. But it was also the experience of those years that cultivated us veteran cadres of the Anti-Japanese Federation, no matter what kind of things we experienced, we could maintain a peaceful mind. ”

"You can't replicate his experience. Although your brother has suffered some hardships in the Japanese prisoner of war camps and bacteriological warfare bases. But after rushing out, under the leadership of No. 1, although it was also killed all the way out of the sword mountain and sea of fire, this road can be regarded as a smooth sailing. ”

"I have never experienced the severe cold of minus twenty or thirty degrees, I have no cotton clothes, no food in my stomach, and under the aerial reconnaissance of the Japanese army, even if it is cold at night, I cannot light a bonfire. You have to face the net sweeping of the Japanese puppet army all day long, and you have to wade through knee-deep snow every day, constantly moving in the deep mountains and old forests in order to save your own difficulties. ”

"These are things that you haven't experienced, because the same difficulties you may have encountered at that time were borne by One alone. The difficulties that may be encountered have been resolved by No. 1 with his own intelligence. So you don't realize what it is to fight alone, and you have come all the way. Coupled with the changes in the overall environment, Lao Tzu has developed the arrogance of being the first in the world. ”

"Lao Du, to be honest, you have to learn to adjust your mentality. Whether on the battlefield or in other aspects, if you fail to adjust your mentality in time according to the changes in the situation, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. And in this kind of thing, it's not something that can be solved by matching you with that political commissar. No one can help you but yourself. ”
