I really came here to fight against Japan

Chapter 306 Political Commissar Ding Arrives

When Political Commissar Ding arrived, the regiment commanders and chiefs of staff sitting below all felt at ease.

He was much more honest than when the deputy commander-in-chief and the division commander were here in the morning.

Even Shimuqiao and Lushanlai from Lianzhuang Team behaved very obediently.

How could they not obey? As soon as Political Commissar Ding came in, the two of them recognized him.

Isn’t this the “boss” who was their boss back then at Tianmailing?

In those days, they were both veterans of the guerrilla detachment who followed Suo Wuxing to develop the guerrilla zone in northwest Gansu.

Suo Wuxing said back then that he was the nominal commander of the Gansu Northwest Guerrilla Detachment.

However, the person who can be in charge of Tianmailing must be Political Commissar Ding sent by the Red Army.

Therefore, the old men in the Tianmailing guerrilla zone at that time all secretly called Political Commissar Ding "the Boss" in private.

At this time, Political Commissar Ding also noticed the two of them. When he saw them, his eyes were full of relief, which made the two brothers feel much more at ease.

People like Li Yunlong usually don't like to pay attention to being bound by discipline.

There are also those league cadres who don’t like to compete with me for the committee and cooperate with me.

They even hoped to stay away so that Political Commissar Ding would not see them.

Political Commissar Ding said: "Let me convey the latest instructions from the Shaanxi-Northern Party Central Committee on the ideological construction of party members..."

Political Commissar Ding raised his head and said, "This issue of ideological construction is not just the business of you, the political commissar.

Those of you who are regiment commanders and chiefs of staff should also increase your cooperation with them.

Comrade Li Yunlong, do you have any suggestions?"

Li Yunlong: Why can’t I hide away?

"Commissar, I have nothing to say."

Political Commissar Ding: "I don't have anything to say. Why did you open your mouth just now?"

Li Yunlong: Oh no, the leader saw me yawning just now.

Brigade Headquarters Commander: You are such a loser, Li Yunlong.

You yawned when Political Commissar Ding was speaking. You are really asking for trouble!

Political Commissar Ding didn't want to make things difficult for him. After all, he knew that Song Wenwan favored the New 1st Regiment.

Moreover, Song Wenwan had no intention of joining forces with others, but for some unknown reason, she always wanted to help Li Yunlong.

Therefore, as long as Li Yunlong does not commit any violation of principle, Political Commissar Ding can show mercy.

Seeing that Li Yunlong was sweating coldly, Comrade Xing Zhiguo stood up bravely.

He had been holding meetings while lying on a stretcher, and this was specially approved by the division commander.

Xing Zhiguo: "Sir, I want to speak."

Li Yunlong: Good brother, if only I had known that you would be so righteous today.

I should have kept my mouth shut to Kong Jie last night.

At the signal of Political Commissar Ding, Xing Zhiguo began his criticism and self-criticism.

"Commanders, first of all, I want to formally apologize to Captain Cheng and Captain Ye for the mistake I made yesterday."

After a standard military salute, the wound on his butt was torn and cold sweat broke out.

The two captains, Cheng and Ye, immediately rushed over and supported Xing Zhiguo.

Leader Cheng: "Good brother, please stop talking. We were too impatient yesterday."

Captain Ye: "You better be careful. If the wound opens, I'll have to trouble Doctor Chen to sew it up for you."

"Boom!" There was a burst of low laughter on the scene, and even the serious deputy commander-in-chief twitched the corner of his mouth.

Xing Zhiguo looked around and saw that only Li Yunlong was present, still with a serious look on his face.

I understand. I know who betrayed me.

Li Yunlong also breathed a sigh of relief after Xing Zhiguo stood up straight again.

Unexpectedly, Xing Zhiguo made a surprise counterattack. He suddenly turned his head and just saw Li Yunlong exhaling.

Li Yunlong: My reputation is over now. I was caught red-handed by the victim.

After Captains Cheng and Ye sat down, Xing Zhiguo told them about the misunderstanding that happened yesterday afternoon.

He wanted to use the military uniforms of his fallen comrades to replace the dead bodies of the Japanese devils.

Let them pretend to be the remains of Eighth Route Army soldiers in order to fool the Japanese from the 4th Mixed Brigade.

In the eyes of other military leaders, there seemed to be nothing wrong with doing so.

We can later give the martyrs new uniforms of the Eighth Route Army.

Using the corpses of the devils to impersonate the Eighth Route Army would prevent the remains of the martyrs from being damaged during the subsequent bombardment.

Of course, if these martyrs were soldiers from my regiment, I would probably... disagree.

Everyone was blabbering about it, it seemed like there were some problems, but they couldn't grasp the main point of the matter.

Political Commissar Ding asked, "Have you put your summary into writing?"

Xing Zhiguo: "I have written a summary report. This is the conclusion drawn up by me and Political Commissar Zhao Gang after discussion."

Li Yunlong muttered quietly: "Old Zhao, what report is Old Xing talking about? How come I don't know about it?"

Zhao Gang: "You can't help with this."

As Xing Zhiguo continued talking, Li Yunlong realized that he couldn't help with what they were discussing even if he wanted to.

Generally speaking, this problem lies with Song Wenwan.

Song Wenwan was loyal to the party back then, but he was not a real party member after all.

Song Wenwan has studied the Party Constitution, and many of his subordinates are Party members.

However, the ideological construction of party members has always been a weak point of the Gansu Army.

Another reason is that the Gansu Army fought too brutally.

According to Song Wenwan, you just do whatever it takes to win.

In other words, if Li Yunlong went out to fight and got into trouble.

The head of the brigade will provide full and unconditional protection for Li Yunlong.

This situation is not a problem for Song Wenwan.

But it really won't work here in the Eighth Route Army. He might not even have the chance to feed the horses.

What Xing Zhiguo meant was that there were some slight deviations in thinking.

This would result in the troops coming from the guerrilla division always having some clashes with the old troops of the Eighth Route Army.

Just like yesterday, even an old Red Army cadre like Xing Zhiguo could make such a mistake.

For example, if there was any misunderstanding between Captain Lei Shizhu who went to the Independent Regiment and Kong Jie, it was only a matter of time.

Some people also asked, why did no misunderstandings occur when Wu Changfeng was in Li Yunlong’s New Regiment?

The reason is very simple. Anyone who has been in Gannan and has been influenced by Song’s warmth.

No matter who cooperates with Li Yunlong, they will end up in the same pot as Li Yunlong.

Alas, Political Commissar Ding sighed in his heart. It was Song Wenwan who led everyone astray.

He also understood what Xing Zhiguo meant and thought about the various ideological struggles he had experienced in Jiangxi before.

I wonder how many handles these waves of troops coming from Gannan will leave for others.

Just think about it, even an old comrade like Xing Zhiguo only studied in the Gansu Army's guerrilla division for two years.

After he came back, he also made some inexplicable mistakes, which shows that Song Wenwan has done a lot of harm to others.

Song Wenwan: It seems that our troops in Gannan are all built according to the model of Li Yunlong's independent regiment.

At that time, I felt that it was very impressive to fight the Japanese in this way.

But what Song Wenwan forgot was that the commander of this unit, Li Yunlong, was a troublemaker himself.

This time it was Political Commissar Ding's turn to have a headache. Xing Zhiguo had a lot of things he couldn't say at the meeting.

He could neither mention Song Wenwan's name nor point out that this was a problem caused by the "Gannan style".

Xing Zhiguo could only suggest vaguely that attention should be paid to the issue of ideological unity.

This problem exists not only in the troops in Shanxi, but also in the troops in Jiangnan.
