When Yang Zhen walked into the wooden stunned man who was the command headquarters, he saw Zhang Ting discussing something with Li Yanping, Peng Dingjie, and Guo Bingxun with an excited face.

Seeing Yang Zhen walk in, Li Yanping nodded at him, and said with a smile to Zhang Ting, who was humming a military song on the side: "Xiao Zhang, give you an important task." You have to use the shortest possible time to let all the cadres and soldiers learn to sing this song. We must let all the cadres and soldiers know what we are fighting for. You also have to tell them that this is a war song composed for us by the commander himself. ”

"Please rest assured, I promise to complete the task so that all the soldiers can learn this inspiring military song in the shortest possible time. And tell every soldier that this song is a war song specially composed for us by our commander. Hearing that the political commissar agreed to her request, Zhang Ting hurriedly nodded and assured.

Hearing Li Yanping's words, and the people who were looking at him excitedly, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sweat. He didn't expect that the military song he plagiarized would have such an impact. Even Guo Bingxun, who has always been steady, was also excited, humming in his mouth.

However, there is some weakness in the heart, but Yang Zhen knows that as long as this passionate and majestic military song is a little passionate in the heart, especially for soldiers, there are few people who will not like it after listening to it.

Before the excitement had passed, after hearing that Li Yanping agreed to use this song as the military song of the troops, Zhang Ting, who hurriedly ran out to carry out the political commissar's order, left, Li Yanping smiled and said to Yang Zhen: "Commander, I really haven't seen it, you can write songs." ”

"How did you come up with this military song that is so exciting and expresses the indomitable and invincible fighting spirit of our anti-coalition forces? Our team is facing the sun, stepping on the land of the motherland, carrying the hope of the nation, and we are an invincible force. It's a good word, and it sounds exciting. ”

"Especially these few words, never fearless, never give in, and fight bravely. Until the invaders are wiped out. Good, good, it's just so good, it's so apt that it's almost a stroke of genius. The nature of our team is vividly expressed. For this military song plagiarized by Yang Zhen, it can be seen that Li Yanping really likes it. It's very rare to use a few good words to describe it.

Li Yanping's voice fell, and Guo Bingxun on the side also said with some excitement: "Yes, commander." This military song is magnificent, but in terms of indignation and inspiring soldiers' fighting enthusiasm, it can be compared with, or even better than, the "Marseillaise" in the French Revolution, which inspired the fighting spirit of countless French people. ”

For the praise of the two, Yang Zhen could only shake his head and smile bitterly. Thinking about the situation that there is no communication with the central government, it is impossible to release this song, and to obtain the naming rights first, when there will be a song with almost identical lyrics and songs in Yan'an next year, Yang Zhen can't help but feel a chill in his heart.

After all, the original creators of this song are now over there, and the predecessor of this song, "March of the Eighth Route Army", will come out next year. When the time comes, the two songs are almost identical, and the lyrics are similar, and I really don't know whether to say that I plagiarized others or that others plagiarized themselves.

Compared with Yang Zhen's wordless wry smile, the remaining few people were all excited. Especially for Li Yanping. Li Yanping, who studied in the Soviet Union, has been a military cadre since returning to China. Although he recommended himself as a political commissar, his level of political work is far less than that of the political commissars in the old Eighth Route Army in the Guannai, who have already worked in the unique political work of the squadron for several years.

He copied the experience he had learned in the Soviet Union in his daily political work methods, and many times he was a little inadequate. Although Yang Zhen talked to him about the political work methods of the Eighth Route Army in the pass, after all, he had not experienced it personally, and he always stumbled in implementation.

In addition, Yang Zhen has not personally experienced the political work of this era, and most of what he knows is seen from books in later generations. And he himself was an authentic military cadre in both his previous life and the next, and he was not good at political work itself. Therefore, a lot of things are also specious, more abstract and less concrete. There are many times when it is implemented, and it is not very smooth. At this time, the troops were able to be so united, not so much because of their effective political work, but because of Yang Zhen's personal prestige.

At this time, although he is a political commissar, how can Li Yanping, who always feels a little difficult about the political work as his own job, not be excited when he hears this passionate song? Although he is somewhat unable to do political work. But after all, having studied in the Soviet Union and having had a lot of contact with the Soviet army, he also knows that a good military song still has a great impact on the morale of the troops, especially at many critical moments. A good military song can even be a boost for his future work, so Li Yanping still loves this song.

When the excitement passed, Li Yanping, who knew that a military song alone was not enough, said to Yang Zhen: "The commander can create such a good military song, and he must also like music." When I was studying in the Soviet Union, I had contact with the Soviet army and knew some of their political and work methods. Knowing a good military song has a great impact on the morale of the troops. Commander, could you please take the time to write two more songs? ”

Regarding Li Yanping's request, Yang Zhen frowned slightly, but he felt that it was difficult to answer him. Although there are many popular military songs in later generations, such as "We Are Soldiers", "Iron-beaten Battalion Soldiers" and so on. But most of them are not suitable for this era. As for those classic songs during the Anti-Japanese War, I really can't. After all, except for the "March of the Volunteers", which became the national anthem, those old songs have hardly been circulated in later generations. Not to mention Yang Zhen, who is a post-80s generation, even people who are much older than him may not be able to sing.

But fortunately, Yang Zhen's embarrassment did not last long, but Guo Bingxun relieved him. Guo Bingxun said: "Political commissar, I have a song here, which is a song written by a composer in Guannai for the soldiers and people of the Northeast Army who were exiled in Guannai after 918, and the name is "On the Songhua River". I have heard this song sung by exiled students in Northeast China, but it is also familiar to me. ”

Although this song is not as exciting, loud and inspiring as the commander's military song, it is also extremely sad and devastating. I've wept a few times because of it. It's just not known to be suitable for the situation that is not suitable for our troops. ”

Speaking of this, Guo Bingxun looked at Yang Zhen and said a little strangely: "The commander of this song should also be familiar with it." The commander was born as a student in exile in the Northeast, and this song was the most widely sung among the exiled students in the Northeast. ”

Hearing Guo Bingxun mention this classic song that was sung throughout the Anti-Japanese War, inside and outside the Great Wall, Yang Zhen slapped his head with some annoyance, how could he forget this song. However, chagrin is chagrin, but let Yang Zhen sing it, he really can't remember the lyrics clearly.

Yang Zhen, who didn't come up with the general lyrics of this song after thinking about it for a while, could only say slightly embarrassed: "I really don't have any musical talent, and that song is just an occasional flash of inspiration." I can sing this song that the chief of staff said, but the five notes are incomplete, and I can't fully express the feelings in it. Chief of Staff, you should sing it to the commissar. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's slightly embarrassing answer, Guo Bingxun smiled but did not ask deeply. Instead, after recalling the lyrics and tune, he sang: "My home is on the Songhua River in northeast China, where there are forests, coal mines, and soybean sorghum all over the mountains. My home is on the Songhua River in the northeast, where there are my compatriots and my aging father. ”

"Ninety-one-eight, ninety-one-eight, from that miserable time, out of my hometown, abandoned that endless treasure, Liulang! Stream Lang! The price of the whole day is in the customs, and the flow Lang! What year, what month, will I be able to return to my lovely hometown? In what year, in what month, will the endless treasure be recovered? Daddy, Daddy. When will we be able to get together? ”

After Guo Bingxun sang, Yang Zhen had to secretly give a thumbs up. After all, I have mixed in Europe, and this music foundation is much better than my own. This heartfelt song, coupled with Guo Bingxun's naturally low voice, is simply a tear-jerking.

It's just that after Guo Bingxun sang, although Li Yanping and Peng Dingjie had tears in their eyes, Li Yanping finally shook his head and said: "This song is a good theme for propaganda work." Although it can make the soldiers muster the momentum of the same hatred of the enemy, it is not suitable for the soldiers to sing as a morale-boosting military song. ”

Regarding Li Yanping's evaluation, Yang Zhen also nodded and felt a little sympathetic. However, Yang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and finally said to Li Yanping: "Political commissar, I read this song, let's let the troops learn it." Although it is not suitable as a military song, it is also very good to make cadres and soldiers feel the same hatred for the enemy, as you said. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen suddenly remembered a song, but he was a little hesitant. He can sing this song. It's just that when he was in later generations, watching a TV series describing the Anti-Japanese War felt that the song in the play was exciting. Although in his heart it is not as good as "March of the People's Liberation Army", but in terms of words alone, Yang Zhen thinks that the writing is very imposing.

It's just that Yang Zhen later checked this song on the Internet and found out that this song was actually a song specially compiled by the National Government to encourage young intellectuals to join the army. It's just because this song first appeared in the New First Army of the Expeditionary Force, and it was mistaken for the New First Army military song.

Of course, after all, after so many years, the people of that year have long been different from people, and no one knows whether it is true or not. But Yang Zhen loves this song very much. Although I didn't find it on the Internet, I watched the footage of the TV series describing this song repeatedly. Although it is rote memorization, I also memorized this song vividly.

After hesitating for a moment, Yang Zhen thought that this song looked a little angry in the words of later generations, and even a certain lyric still had some that, but it was a fighting song with high morale. If you follow the practice in the TV series and only use the first paragraph, it will not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Yang Zhen raised his head and said to the few people in front of him: "I still have a song here." When I was in the 129th Division, I occasionally heard about it during a march. It's just that the lyrics are a little extreme, and they haven't been sung. I'll sing it again, Lao Guo, you can read the rhythm and see if you can write the score. In addition, political commissar, you and Lao Peng also take the pulse and see how it goes. It's just that I'm not good at singing, and some tunes can't go up. ”

After that, Yang Zhen carefully recalled the lyrics and tunes, and sang: "You don't see, the final army of the Han Dynasty, the weak crown is captured, please Changying: you don't see, Ban Dingyuan, the peerless light cavalry urges the battle clouds!" The boy should be in serious danger, how can he let the Confucian crown miss this life? The situation is that the country is in danger, and the feathers are constantly fighting. Abandon my old pen, with my wartime jin, a call for more than 100,000 comrades, singing war songs to join the army. Qi joined the army, cleaned the dust, and swore to sweep away the Japanese slaves!"

To be honest, Yang Zhen's song is simply miserable compared with the previous "March of the People's Liberation Army" because of his congenital lack of voice. Especially at a few high notes, the singing can be said to be devastating.

However, Guo Bingxun is Guo Bingxun in the end, although this song made Yang Zhen sing miserably, but he still wrote the score accurately. In order not to destroy everyone's hearing, the next task of re-singing was sung by Guo Bingxun.

After Guo Bingxun finished singing, Li Yanping and Peng Dingjie glanced at each other and said: "Although this song is not as good as the commander's military song, it is also a bit difficult to understand compared to the cultural process of most cadres and soldiers in the army. But not only the melody can also be said to be exciting, it can also play a role in strengthening the morale of cadres and soldiers, and when learning this song, it can educate cadres and soldiers in patriotism. I think it can be used as a military song. ”

Regarding Li Yanping's evaluation, Yang Zhen did not express his position, but smiled slightly: "Political commissar, don't always want to get some good songs from us." Isn't there a lot of classic military songs in the Anti-Japanese Union? At least the other day, the "Camping Song" that I heard you whisper was not bad. ”

"A good song, especially a rousing song, can boost the fighting spirit and morale of the troops. I think we can completely select some military songs from these two songs and add the songs of the Anti-United Nations to teach the troops. From time to time, you can organize the troops to hold a singing competition, which can not only let the troops remember these military songs, but also allow everyone to relax their nerves occasionally. Lest it always be too tight, it's not good. ”

"As for the chief of staff's poem "On the Songhua River", I think it should also be learned by the troops. At the very least, our political cadres should learn. In the situation where we are now fighting alone and can only rely on ourselves, our troops cannot be just a combat team, but also a task force and a propaganda team. ”

"We not only want to crack down on the Japanese devils, but also let the people understand what we are fighting for. Let them understand that this war of aggression against China launched by the Japanese devils is not only a national hatred for every China, but also a family hatred. ”

"In addition, we regard the three disciplines and eight points of attention of the Eighteenth Army as our discipline. In the 18th Group Army, in order to keep the cadres and soldiers in mind our military discipline at all times, a song was specially compiled, which all the cadres and soldiers of the 18th Group Army could sing. I'll sing it out in a while, and Lao Guo will write a score. Let all the cadres and fighters learn to sing, and let them always remember our military discipline. ”

Regarding Yang Zhen's thoughts, Li Yanping nodded and agreed without thinking: "Commander, I think it's okay." However, I don't think we should choose this singing instructor in a special way, I think Xiao Zhang is completely fine. ”

"Now that most of our wounded have recovered and returned to the team, you have brought a lot of doctors in Weihe County, and the problem of insufficient medical staff has been solved, and this girl is now relatively idle. In addition, she is a party member, a college student, a high level of education, and underground work experience, it can be said that she is very good in politics, and she is also very enthusiastic about this matter, I think we will not bother the two masters. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yanping pointed to the outside where bursts of singing came from time to time and said, "Look, this girl can't wait." If you change someone else, you can't teach it well, I'm afraid I'm far less enthusiastic than this girl in this kind of thing. Moreover, we are currently in dire need of such talents. ”

Yang Zhen also heard the singing outside. Regarding the candidate proposed by Li Yanping, Yang Zhen did not deny it: "Political commissar, this matter is within the scope of political work. You and Lao Peng will discuss it, and the chief of staff and I will not interfere. However, this matter should try not to delay the training time, I think it can be carried out in the evening cultural study time. ”

"I don't know how Li Mingrui's plan to lure the enemy is going. If we fail, we won't have much time left to train, and every hour is precious for us now. Therefore, if you can not delay, it is better not to delay the time of military training. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen stopped the topic. Listening to the familiar melodies and familiar lyrics coming from outside, Yang Zhen gradually lost his mind. It was vaguely as if he had returned to his later troops.
