Chapter 3 Heaven and Earth (Part 8) "What" Although Fang Guoqiang tried his best to put it tactfully, Zhang Songling still felt thunder rolling in his ears. You must know that it is 1940 now, not 199 In August or 2014, even in big cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou, which are famous for their openness, it was not a very honorable thing to get pregnant before marriage. Moreover, Zhang Songling himself came from Shandong, the hometown of Confucius. In his limited memory, , if there are young men and women in my hometown who become pregnant before getting married, the woman will most likely be tied with rocks by her family and sunk into the pond, and the man, if he has received hundreds of sticks, has not been beaten alive. If you turn into meat, you will be kicked out of your home and will never be able to return home. "Keep your voice down, don't you think the impact of this incident is not big enough?" Fang Guoqiang's thinking mode is completely different from Zhang Songling's. He quickly blocked the other person's mouth with his hand and yelled in a very low voice, "I have already A silence order was given to Lao Scar. At present, except for him, Lao Zheng, Lao Ma, Xiao Zheng and me, no one else in the entire guerrilla team knows that Siqin was pregnant. You should not ask about it again. , let¡¯s put this matter down together, and after the storm subsides, we can find a way to get Brother Long to marry Siqin. In this way, even if the military branch knows about it in the future, there will be no point in pursuing the matter.¡± ¡° Okay, I know the importance." Zhang Songling hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously. The Eighth Route Army is a strictly disciplined team. As the deputy captain, Zhao Tianlong "took the lead" in living with his girlfriend, no matter whether the other party is a Mongolian prince or an ordinary person. After the higher-level departments knew about the matter, they could not choose to turn a blind eye, so the "hiding it from the truth" plan proposed by Fang Guoqiang was probably the safest way, although after the truth was exposed, the two masterminds would definitely be implicated. Zhang Songling and Zhao Tianlong have a fateful friendship. Of course, Zhang Songling doesn't care about being criticized by his superiors for helping each other. However, the most troublesome problem at the moment is not how to explain to his superiors, but how to let Zhao Tianlong successfully transfer Siqin. Married back home, after returning from Chongqing, Siqin has gained absolute control over the Prince's Palace of You Banner. Some of the obstacles that previously stood between her and Zhao Tianlong will of course no longer exist, but the internal situation of the Eighth Route Army The "258 Regiment" regulations are not easily circumvented. At least, Zhao Tianlong, the deputy captain, is still far away from the "regiment" level. Regarding this obstacle, Fang Guoqiang also came up with a compromise. Seeing Zhang Songling scratching his head with worry, he took out a document from a certain layer of the bookcase and whispered: "The scale of our guerrillas was too small before. We can only It is considered a second-level brigade. You and I are both at the battalion level, and Captain Zhao is the deputy battalion. But after the Blackstone base has been established for more than a year, we can report to our superiors and upgrade the Blackstone Guerrilla Brigade to a guerrilla detachment, even if the number of people remains the same. There is not as much as a guerrilla brigade in the customs. Considering the special situation of the vast land and sparse population on the grassland, it can barely be classified as a regiment-level combat unit. During this period, Brother Long has achieved a few more outstanding military exploits, or he can be rated as a military unit. With the advancement of the division, even if the guerrilla promotion report is not approved, his status as a battalion-level cadre and those combat hero medals are enough to warrant special treatment under special circumstances. I have already sent out a report asking for credit for him. This is relevant You can refer to the materials and then make some specific additions. " "Well, I'll take a look now." Zhang Songling didn't expect that Fang Guoqiang, who had always been rigid, could be so accommodating. He was stunned and quickly handed over the application materials. Grabbing it in his hand, he said with some gratitude, "Brother Long, do you know whether you and Siqin are on the same page? If you were on the same page with Siqin, she wouldn't hate you so much." "Brother Long went to Liaoxi. Before the meeting, they already knew that I was asking for credit on his behalf, but Siqin," Fang Guoqiang shook his head with helplessness on his face, "before I had time to tell her, she refused to give me a chance to explain. I told her, but I was afraid that it would spread and make the cadres and soldiers think that I, as a political commissar, was too unprincipled. " "What do you want me to say about you?" Zhang Songling was moved and funny at the same time, and she repeatedly pointed at Fang Guoqiang. Shaking his head, he obviously meant to help, but because he was afraid of damaging his image of "adhering to principles" in front of his brothers, he was regarded as a big evil person who beats mandarin ducks. However, this evil person was very proud in his heart, so proud that he didn't even bother to help. Justify yourself, or think that you don't need to defend yourself at all. "You can say whatever you want, as long as we don't have conflicts and affect the stability of the team." Seeing that Zhang Songling finally understood that he was not without his difficulties, Fang Guoqiang also laughed and shook his head, "You probably haven't realized it yet. How much influence does this brigade captain have in our base? To be honest, if you don¡¯t support my work, I, the political commissar, can¡¯t accomplish anything.¡± Although it was just a joke, Zhang Songling didn¡¯t dare to follow it. He waved his hands a few times and responded in a low voice, "Okay, okay, my political commissar, please don't make fun of me. I haven't been here for more than a year."Family, aren't you doing a great job? " "That's because Brother Long and the others took the lead in cooperating with me after receiving your order. "Fang Guoqiang glanced at Zhang Songling, put away his smile, and continued to add, "I'm not complaining about you, but stating a fact. Without you and Brother Long, our Blackstone Guerrillas would be completely empty shells. This kind of The situation, in the long run, is not a good thing for you, the Blackstone guerrillas and the Blackstone base. " "Um. "Although he may not feel very comfortable in his heart, Zhang Songling has to admit that Fang Guoqiang's words are reasonable. This does not mean that some people will suspect that he has soldiers and self-respect. Even the cooks and breeders have joined the team of only a few hundred people. He wants to have The self-respect of the soldiers cannot cause any trouble, but if one day he and Zhao Tianlong unfortunately die for their country, or are ordered to be transferred elsewhere, it will have very serious consequences for the Blackstone base. After all, Both of the above situations are very likely to happen, especially the first one. Based on the loss probability of grassroots cadres of the Eighth Route Army in the past two years, it is almost 70% to 80%. Now that he has shouldered the gun, Zhang Songling has not considered it again. In the future, he will be surrounded by his children and grandchildren, and will eventually die on his bed. He is not afraid of martyrdom for his country. As a soldier, that is his choice and his honor, but he is afraid that if one day, Hong Hong The foundation left by the beard collapsed instantly. He glanced at Fang Guoqiang, and he also put away his smile and said very solemnly: "Have you already figured out a solution? Tell me, don't underestimate my capacity. " "I have never looked down upon it. "Fang Guoqiang laughed again, with some admiration in his eyes, "How could the person who can make the Blackstone guerrillas stronger and stronger in such a complicated fighting environment be a weakling? I just don't want to cause anything. The unnecessary misunderstanding only delays the next step of the work. With the development and growth of the base area and our guerrillas, the regular construction of the team must be put on the agenda, the training and training of grassroots commanders, and the tactical coordination of various arms. , and when specific combat missions are carried out, a plan must be come up as soon as possible regarding the positions of cadres at all levels and the specific roles they should play. Brother Long cannot lead the charge in every battle. You are the captain. After you finished operating the mortar, and then went to get the heavy machine gun, the squadron leaders and squad leaders just hung around the two of you like ordinary soldiers, without any chance to play their due role. "This is a well-intentioned advice, but it is also a disguised protest. Zhang Songling has no reason to refute, and he can't find a suitable way to resign to refute. Especially after receiving professional training from Kangda University, he can better understand Fang Guoqiang's thoughts. Blackstone Guerrilla Although the team's original fighting method seems to be hearty, from the perspective of formalization, it does have a very fatal flaw, that is, it relies too much on the existence of Zhao Tianlong and him. Apart from their two absolute cores, , other cadres at all levels are foils and decorations in the battle. If one of Zhao Tianlong and him performs abnormally, or unfortunately dies in the battle, the situation will immediately take a turn for the worse, and may even collapse on the spot and be directly eliminated by the enemy. So even if Fang Guoqiang doesn't bring it up, Zhang Songling will start formalizing the team after he officially returns to the position of captain, turning himself, Zhao Tianlong, and all cadres and soldiers into machines. No matter which screw is missing, it can be replaced, and it will not have a devastating impact on the entire Blackstone guerrillas. This is the only way to go from the guerrillas to the regular army. Although in the initial stage, There will be some unexpected troubles, which may even cause the entire team to become uncomfortable. But after the transformation is completed, the entire guerrilla team will definitely be reborn. No matter how difficult it is in the future, even if it is defeated by the Japanese at several times or even dozens of times, We will use twice as many troops to pursue and intercept them. As long as one or two seeds of fire can be left in the end, given time, the entire Dongmeng grassland will be lit up again. "Okay." "Thinking of this, Zhang Songling nodded solemnly again, "You should come up with a general plan in the next two days, and help me entertain the students. When I come back from the palace, we will sit down together to discuss the specific details, and wait for me to send the students off. After we come back, let's call Brother Long and Lao Zheng together and hold a Zhuge Liang meeting. As long as everyone's ideas are straightened out, we won't worry about building an iron army. " "You are really good at finding leisure and pleasing the little girl by yourself, and you put all the work on me first. "I didn't expect that Zhang Songling agreed so readily and made a big show of it. Fang Guoqiang was stunned at first, and then complained with a somewhat joking tone. "He who can do it has more work, right, my political commissar. "Zhang Songling put on a posture of trusting you very much and patted the other party's shoulder hard, "Besides, you also know that I am going this time not only to ease the relationship between our guerrillas and the Prince of Youqi. I have to replace you for them. Tell Siqin clearly what the two of you are doing. Otherwise, don't you think it's unlucky to be scolded as a square coffin every day? " "Anyway, whatever you say makes sense. "Fang Guoqiang was moved in his heart and mouthedBashang still refused to accept it. "Of course, I am the captain." Zhang Songling raised his head proudly, with a face filled with the pleasure of taking advantage and making you grateful. Fang Guoqiang glanced at him and smiled helplessly. The two smiled at each other and then laughed. The previous estrangement in their hearts disappeared with laughter, and the scenery outside the window became vibrant in an instant.
