Perhaps because he was tired, Wang Xuexin slept all morning the next day and didn't get up until about three o'clock in the afternoon.
The soldiers of the reconnaissance company were not so relaxed. Although they went to bed around four in the morning, they were only given four hours of rest, and they were woken up from bed at eight o'clock for training.
However, Wang Xuexin believes that this hardship is necessary.
Such training may affect the physical health of the soldiers, but what is actually needed more on the battlefield, especially for special forces, is their will.
Otherwise, a slightly more intense mission or requiring them to fight for a long time will destroy their will. Isn't it a joke that they can still be called "scout"?
Therefore, Wang Xuexin was a little glad that he was not a member of the reconnaissance company but only an instructor in name, otherwise he would not be able to be lazy now.
After tidying up the housework and taking some time to take care of himself, Wang Xuexin walked to the cafeteria with his hungry belly growling... It was already past lunch time, and if he couldn't eat anymore, he would have to wait for dinner.
.
The leader of the cooking squad is called Yan Yiping. He is an old squad leader in his fifties. The soldiers call him Lao Yan.
Lao Yan was good at everything else, but he had a hot temper that anyone dared to scold. If anyone didn't finish his bowl or dropped a few grains of rice, he would be read to him for half an hour.
If he were an ordinary soldier, if he went to the cafeteria right now, he would definitely give him a lecture: "When did you remember to eat? Just go back and think about what time you will eat next!"
But as soon as Wang Xuexin arrived, Lao Yan smiled and served a bowl of sweet potato porridge and a piece of pancake. After that, he also brought a small bowl of vermicelli with a piece of meat in it and said: "Captain Wang, this is what was left from last night.
I didn’t give it to anyone, I just kept it for you!”
"Old Yan!" Wang Xuexin stopped Yan Yiping who was about to leave: "I didn't seem to see you eating meat last night?"
Yan Yiping said "Hey": "This meat is for you heroes who fight against the Japanese. Why are we, the leaders of this group, joining in the fun?"
"This won't work!" Wang Xuexin pushed the bowl in front of Lao Yan: "The cooking team also has a share of the credit, this bowl belongs to you!"
Yan Yiping smiled and replied: "Captain Wang, please don't make things difficult for me, an old man! The captain has told us that all the meat must be divided among those who fight, and no one else is allowed to get it! We don't dare to disobey the order.
What's more, if I eat this piece of meat today, I won't be able to lose face in the future!"
Wang Xuexin smiled helplessly and had to give up.
That's how it is in this era.
This does not mean that people are poor. Of course, there are also reasons for poverty. Because of poverty, pork has become rare.
What's more important is that both the military and civilians have a high level of consciousness. To be precise, a virtue and atmosphere of competing for hardship and being courteous to each other have been formed in the Eighth Route Army.
If this were replaced by a stubborn army, it would be a different story.
While Wang Xuexin was nibbling pancakes and drinking porridge, correspondent Xiao Chen came up to him.
"Company Commander Wang!" Xiao Chen reported breathlessly: "The commander ordered us to go to the headquarters for a meeting immediately!"
Wang Xuexin was not full yet, so he hurriedly drank the porridge, looked at the unfinished food, and glanced at Lao Yan in embarrassment.
Lao Yan smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, the mission is important, I'll keep it for you!"
Wang Xuexin was about to leave but was stopped by Lao Yan. He took an extra pancake and stuffed it into Wang Xuexin's hand and said: "Save it for the road. The headquarters is far away now, so you can't bring nothing with you!"
Wang Xuexin quickly thanked him.
Lao Yan's concern made him feel like he was at home.
So when he left, Wang Xuexin sighed secretly, wondering if his modern family members were still well.
I wonder if they will be sad because of his departure.
If only they could know that they are just here in this world...
Also going to the headquarters for the meeting this time was Sun Ming.
This surprised Sun Ming, because it stands to reason that he, an outsider, should not be allowed to participate in meetings at the headquarters level. After all, this may reveal the location of the headquarters and the content of the meeting.
For this reason, when Sun Ming received the notice, he asked Li Yunlong: "Captain Li, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for Sun to attend this meeting!"
Li Yunlong raised his head and said: "What's the inconvenience? The leader said that this time we will hold a battle summary meeting. The reconnaissance company has made a great contribution by bombing the airport. Adjutant Sun is also the instructor of the reconnaissance company. If you don't go, you will return the favor."
Who can go?"
Without saying a word, he handed the reins of the horse to Sun Ming.
Sun Ming hesitated for a moment, then mounted his horse and went with a few others.
In fact, the headquarters had discussed whether to allow Sun Ming to participate in the meeting before.
The chief of staff believed that it was best not to allow Sun Ming to participate due to the principle of confidentiality. After all, the relationship between the Jinsui Army and the Eighth Route Army was not yet clear at this time.
But the chief thought that Sun Ming should be allowed to participate.
"There is no need to doubt anyone who is suspicious!" The chief said: "We are now using Sun Ming and more than a thousand people led by him, and they have even made great achievements, so we should not be suspicious but treat everyone equally! If we are here
If we try to make them special at the time, wouldn’t it mean to treat them as outsiders and tell them clearly that no matter how much they serve in the Eighth Route Army, it will be in vain, so how can they do ideological work?”
After a pause, the leader added: "What's more, the Jinsui Army has been forced into the mountains to fight guerrillas. If they want to survive, they have only one way, and that is to cooperate with our army. Yan Laoxi is not stupid, he knows
What to do!”
The chief of staff nodded slightly in agreement.
This time, the Jinsui Army was obviously put in a position by the stubborn army, causing the Japanese to break through the defense line.
This also proves that both the stubborn army and the Japanese are unreliable.
Of course, the "reliability" of the military is a minor issue.
Agreements are signed to be torn up. Failure to keep trust is called "a war is never tired of deceit" on the battlefield. It is a common and trivial matter.
The point is that if the Jinsui Army wants to survive in the future, it will have to learn the Eighth Route Army's guerrilla tactics and even anti-slope tactics.
In addition, Zhongtiao Mountain was in danger at this time. Once Zhongtiao Mountain was lost, most of the connections between the Jinsui Army and the stubborn army would be cut off.
At that time, the Jinsui Army can only rely on the Eighth Route Army to survive together.
There is a saying that "there are only eternal interests but no eternal friends." This sentence is a true portrayal of the relationship between armies on the battlefield.
Yan Laoxi may not be trustworthy, but he understands benefits.
Under this circumstance, even if Sun Ming reported the location of the Eighth Route Army headquarters to Yan Laoxi, Yan Laoxi would not be stupid enough to reveal it to the Japanese.
Thinking of this, the chief of staff nodded: "The chief is right, Sun Ming should be allowed to participate in this meeting!"
This decision from the headquarters seemed to be a trivial matter, and it was decided after only a few minutes of conversation between the chief and the chief of staff.
But in the eyes of the person involved, Sun Ming, it was a big deal.
The generosity of the commander of the Eighth Route Army was beyond his imagination.
