Wang Xuexin and the soldiers prepared flags and waited in Malan Village.
After waiting for a long time and still not seeing the Japanese plane coming, squad leader Huzi muttered: "Platoon leader, can this Japanese plane come?"
Chen Hao, the second squad leader, said: "It doesn't matter if he can come or not, we have nothing to lose by being prepared here! If he comes, we will make a lot of money!"
Chen Hao is engaged in railway work and has two lines. From time to time, he will board the train to try his luck, so he is familiar with the "small and big" technique.
Huzi touched his head, nodded and replied: "That seems to be the case! Then let's...just wait!"
At this time, Zhou Ping came closer and lowered his voice and said to Wang Xuexin: "Platoon leader, do you know what other platoons say about you?"
It seems that Zhou Ping can't change his old habit of engaging in intelligence, and he is still an "underground party" in the Eighth Route Army.
"What did you say?" Wang Xuexin replied angrily: "Why don't you just call me a 'flower vase'? I can say whatever I like. We can't control their mouths!"
"How could that be possible?" Zhou Ping laughed: "The 'vase' happened in a previous life. What I'm asking for is the latest information. It's still hot right after it comes out of the pot!"
After saying this, Chen Hao and Hu Zi became interested and immediately joined in:
"What information? Is it from our company or from other troops?"
"Are they talking bad about the platoon leader again? Tell me who they are, and I'll beat the hell out of them!"
Zhou Ping raised his head and said happily to Hu Zi: "How can you say bad things? That was all in the past. Who dares to say bad things about our platoon leader now!"
Chen Hao echoed from the side: "That's right, our platoon leader has just arrived, and he set off smoke and laid mines in the village. It's all thanks to our platoon leader that our troops can enter the village. How can we say bad things?"
"But it's not a good thing!" Zhou Ping laughed and said mysteriously as if he was talking about a secret: "Other people said, how does our platoon leader look like a platoon leader? The regimental leaders listen to our platoon leader.
The whole regiment follows this idea to fight, and he is even more like the regiment leader than the regiment leader!"
Several squad leaders laughed happily when they heard this:
"If the platoon leader is the regiment leader, then who am I, the squad leader?"
"Without you, you would still be a squad leader at most! Look at your potential, you can be a squad leader because of your merits in your previous life!"
…
This is indeed neither a bad word nor a good word.
Call it a bad word, it is praising Wang Xuexin.
To put it mildly, it has a sour taste and even a bit of a picky taste.
For example, what would the group leader think when he heard this?
Battalion Commander and Company Commander, how do you feel after hearing this?
But what is the saying? "A person who is not jealous of others is a mediocre person." Only when others hate you can you prove your excellence!
If the instructor knew about this, Bao would definitely say: "Hey, we revolutionary soldiers, how can we be jealous of this and that? We are all one family, don't engage in this kind of individualism!"
This statement may be useful if applied to other troops, but it is a bit acclimated to the independent regiment.
Because of the special situation of the independent regiment, Li Yunlong took the lead in pursuing the mountain king mentality and stipulated that "the equipment belongs to whoever hands it over." So, can the soldiers under his command "form gangs" to consider the interests of their own troops?
For example, Wu Lei openly considers the interests of the 7th Company or the 3rd Battalion. The other two battalions are similar, and they inevitably fight openly and secretly.
But having said that, Wang Xuexin is not sure which one is better.
This is because "forming cliques" may sound like "individualism" at worst, but it may actually create a competitive relationship within the army at best.
Other troops seem to be fairer. For example, the captured equipment must be turned in and distributed according to needs, but this is a bit like "big pot rice"... Anyway, it is all distributed by the superiors. Does that mean that the battle will be the same no matter how many times the battle is fought? Not even
Can you also get equipment during battles?
Although the independent group seems unfair, it is the jungle survival law of survival of the fittest... Who makes you unable to grab the equipment if you have no ability? People are strong and strong, and they have sacrificed their lives. Why should I give it to you? You want it
If you have the ability, risk your life and make sure no one can stop you!
Because of this, when the soldiers of the independent regiment heard that they were going to the battlefield, they all screamed, fearing that they would not be part of it, and panicking if there was no battle!
Isn’t this what we need most in revolution and fighting against the Japanese?
However, everything has advantages and disadvantages. The independent groups have formed a competitive relationship with each other. There are comparisons, conflicts of interest, and competition. Of course, those who stand out will attract jealousy.
If you are all eating from a big pot, why would others be jealous of you?
I wish you could pay more, be able to fight more, and come up with more ideas, so that you can get more equipment on hand!
Just as he was thinking about this, the soldier who was on guard duty on the roof suddenly waved his hand in the direction of Wang Xuexin and shouted excitedly: "Platoon leader, plane! The plane is coming..."
The one shouting was Huzi's soldier. Huzi immediately stood up and cursed: "What are you shouting so loudly? Are you worried that the Japs flying the plane can't hear you? What if you scare them away?"
Wang Xuexin:……
This is the first time I heard that shouting from the ground can scare away planes in the sky!
But of course Wang Xuexin would not explain to Huzi at this time. He raised his head and looked in the direction indicated by the sentry, and sure enough he saw the faint shadows of several airplanes in the smoke.
Wang Xuexin quickly ordered:
"Wave the flag, raise it higher and wave it!"
"Over there, pass a flag on the roof!"
"Firecrackers ready!"
…
Then there was a sound of "babababa", and some soldiers were running and jumping in the smoke, which looked like a fierce battle.
Things did not disappoint Wang Xuexin. The plane made a circle in the air, and then lowered its altitude and flew over Malan Village... The altitude was lowered to make the airdrop more accurate, otherwise the airdrop would be blown away by the wind at a high altitude.
So far away.
At that moment, Wang Xuexin was still a little nervous. He was worried that the Japanese would drop not equipment but bombs.
No one can say for sure what happens on the battlefield. You may think it is this way, but it may actually be that way. If you do not do well, the whole game will be lost.
Fortunately, what Wang Xuexin was worried about did not happen. After the three planes descended to a certain height, they dropped several boxes one after another. These boxes opened their white parachutes in the air and staggered down towards Malan Village.
The Japanese dropped the supplies very accurately. Two of the three boxes of supplies were dropped directly into the village, while the other box was only less than a hundred meters away from the village.
In fact, the Japs should have shot accurately... Their target was Xue Quyuan Village. If the shot was not accurate, the supplies would definitely fall into the hands of the "enemy".
And because most of these "enemies" use captured equipment, these supplies will be of great help to them once they fall into the hands of the "enemy".
Therefore, the Japanese army must send the best pilots to perform this mission to ensure that the airdrop of supplies is in place.
However, of course they didn't know that this mission was doomed to fail from the beginning.
