After hearing the company commander Gao Yidao repeat the political commissar's order, the faces of more than a dozen soldiers from the second company were all beaming with joy.
"Captain, are you serious? We have turned the tables! Our Second Company has turned the tables!"
"Good fellows, this time, we are basically fully staffed. Company commander, should we assign platoon leaders and squad leaders to the brothers now?"
Gao Yidao looked at the dozen or so happy soldiers in front of him and cleared his throat: "Organize three platoons."
"Roar--" More than a dozen soldiers immediately spoke out excitedly. Three platoon leaders, nine squad leaders, plus deputy positions, meant that now these dozen old brothers all had a share. How could they not be happy
Gao Yidao raised his hand and pointed at two soldiers: "You are the leader of the first platoon, you will be in charge of the second platoon. All the new recruits will be divided in half and assigned to your first and second platoons. Take good care of them. I don't trust the new recruits trained by Hao Ping."
The soldiers were silent for a moment, staring at each other. The new recruits were divided into two halves and sent to the first and second rows? Wouldn't that mean that the leader's share would be gone in an instant
"Captain, didn't you say that we would organize three platoons?"
Looking at the puzzled soldiers, Gao Yidao crossed his two muscular arms over his chest and frowned: "The rest of you will naturally be the third platoon. There will be no platoon leader or squad leader. You will be led by this company commander personally."
The soldiers were dumbfounded and their heads drooped instantly.
Gao Yidao looked around and knew what the soldiers were thinking, so he opened his mouth in a serious tone: "Look at you guys! Have you forgotten your roots? What is the Second Company? The Second Company is a bayonet that kills people! Without the tip of the knife, can it still kill people? I don't do the 'old leading the new' thing, the battlefield is the test standard! Only those who have died are qualified to be commanded by me! In my eyes, Gao Yidao, you dozen or so are the real soldiers of the Second Company, you are the tip of the knife, and each of you is a platoon leader!"
The words were straightforward, the voice was powerful, sonorous, and had a faint echo. The scene was silent in an instant, and more than a dozen soldiers looked at their tall and strong company commander quietly. The haze was swept away, and all of them straightened their chests, forgetting the yellow earth under their feet, forgetting the cool breeze in their ears, and the dirty and worn gray uniforms were supported by the invisible high spirits. They were proud!
Dabei Village had already organized a women's association, and the only one who was not accepted was Sun Cui; all the houses were lent to the independent group by the people, and the only one who rented out the houses was Sun Cui. A glimpse of the whole picture shows the reason why Sun Cui was not accepted by the women's association.
Although she was not familiar with the people in Class 9, Sun Cui soon understood that there were two key figures here. One was the gloomy monitor of Class 9, and the other was the inconspicuous little crazy girl.
Class Nine came back. After a brief greeting, Hu Yi was hurriedly called to the regiment headquarters. Seeing the awkward situation, Sun Cui took the initiative to speak: "Oh, by the way, Ma Liang, your uniform has a tear. Change it when you have time and let me mend it for you."
Ma Liang looked down at the small hole in his clothes and shook his hands repeatedly: "No, no, it's not a problem, don't bother Sister Sun."
Luo Fugui was standing aside. After hearing what Sun Cui said, he turned his face to look at Ma Liang, then stared at the ragged Liu Jianqiang, and burst out laughing.
Sun Cui knew what Luo Fugui was laughing at, but she didn't care. She would agree to anyone she liked, and she would ignore anyone she didn't like. "It's not right to be distant with my sister. It's settled. Otherwise, you look down on me!"
Ma Liang blushed when he said that, and Sun Cui deliberately sat closer to Xiao Hongying: "Girl, how can you be so beautiful! Call me sister!"
Xiao Hongying stared at the smiling Sun Cui with puzzled eyes: "I, should I call you aunt?" She was wondering why she liked to be a sister recently? Su Qing was, and this one too
Sun Cui deliberately smiled and said, "Look at you, you are already such a big and beautiful girl, how can you be so small? Call me sister!"
This was exactly what Xiao Hongying was thinking. What annoyed her most was that others thought she was too young and treated her like a child. Sun Cui's words made the little girl blush, but she said without hesitation: "Sister Sun!"
"Hey, I've heard for a long time that there's a chivalrous little beauty in the independent regiment who can summon the wind and rain and turn beans into soldiers. Now she's my sister. What a blessing!"
It was the first time in her life that Xiao Hongying heard such a thoughtful comment. She couldn't help but stand up with her pigtails pouting in joy: "Really? You know all this?" Then she lowered her head pretentiously and began to tear at the corner of her clothes: "Well, Sister Sun, you make me feel embarrassed."
Oh my god, Luo Fugui couldn’t bear it anymore and fell headfirst on the bed. He thought he was shameless enough, but there were people who were even more shameless. What kind of people were these
Sun Cui took advantage of the warmth and grabbed the little girl's hand: "By the way, sister, I can't sit still. I have nothing to do these two days. Staying here will only hinder your work, so I want to go to the kitchen to help out. What do you think?"
Xiao Hongying was already so beautiful that she was in a daze. Without thinking, she said, "The kitchen team is my mother's home. Just go there and mention me. Let's see who dares to say no!"
"Good sister, come and let me kiss you!" Sun Cuizhen did what she said. In front of the others who were pinching her lip syncope foolishly, she grabbed Xiao Hongying and kissed her on the forehead. Then she stood up and said, "I won't keep you guys here. Get busy." Then she went out.
Ma Liang watched Sun Cui disappear at the door in a hurry, and finally recovered from the erotic scene just now. As soon as Sister Sun opened her mouth, her target was the kitchen team. Did she find out something in advance? It seemed like a conspiracy. He couldn't help but say to the little girl who was still intoxicated with herself: "Don't be so conceited. Just now, weren't you too careless?"
Xiao Hongying was enjoying herself for once, but before she could get enough of it, Ma Liang splashed a basin of water on her. She couldn't help but get angry: "Who are you calling careless? I was careless, who cares? You were not careless, but you tricked the fox. I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
Ma Liang was puzzled. Why did he blame me? "When did I ever betray the squad leader?"
"It's all your fault! Do you know that the whole regiment is gossiping about you behind your back, saying that you are a traitor and are kind to the Japanese. I'm so mad!" Xiao Hongying yelled at Ma Liang in the house.
Ma Liang lowered his head listlessly: "Isn't it just a live capture? Is it necessary to be like this?"
Luo Fugui had just seen Sun Cui being enthusiastic towards Ma Liang, but ignoring others including himself, and he felt a little jealous. Now that he saw the little girl had made Ma Liang lose, he put aside his role as a spectator and joined in, saying to Ma Liang earnestly, "Ma Liang, your attitude is really bad. You usually look like a decent person, but now I realize that you are worse than Liu..." He suddenly saw Liu Jianqiang staring at him fiercely, so he quickly changed his words, "Compared to that guy, a fool is even more stupid!"
Ma Liang couldn't help but get angry. Even this guy jumped out to accuse him. How could he feel? He said to Luo Fugui in a bad mood: "You are everywhere! How dare you criticize me? Besides, it was Su who stopped me at that time. What could I do? Didn't the squad leader have no way to do anything?"
"Look, you get anxious after a few words. Are you feeling guilty?" Luo Fugui didn't want Ma Liang to shirk responsibility so easily. "Listen to my analysis. This is your fault, isn't it? You were the one who let the devil go and didn't want to stab him, but Officer Su stopped you. Why didn't you stab him to death? As a result, we had to carry this devil back, put him in a single room, put him on sentry duty, feed him fine food, treat his illness, and give him medicine. I heard that for a while, we even sent someone to carry him to the division to continue to provide for him. As a result, our Boss Hu was accused of shit, right? Do you think you are doing humane things?"
"I..." Ma Liang grinned and was speechless.
