Chapter 378

"Company Commander, we are not thirsty!" The intimacy of Li Wei made the recruit Wang Xuezheng not know where to put his hands. The other recruits also looked uneasy. Although Li Wei was not good at showing off, after all, where the company commander's identity was. After entering the recruit battalion for more than half a month, the gap between the company commander and the soldiers was known from the recruit battalion.

"It's okay, it's so hot, drink a sip of water and say something slowly." Li Wei poured tea for everyone, then sat back to the kang, looked at the new soldiers, and said, "What?! Is there anything so upsetting? Tell me slowly."

"Brother Li Wei, it's not that we are greedy for life and death. Since we have joined the Eighth Route Army, we have made plans to sacrifice our lives. I am not afraid of hard work. I have never done any hard work. It's just that in this recruit camp, the instructor named Han is really too troublesome." Wang Xuezheng's tone was full of resentment.

"That's right, instructor Han bullies the newcomer. Let's bully us honestly and think of ways to play tricks on us." Another recruit Mao Tiezhu said.

"Haha! Why are you guys playing tricks on you?!" Li Wei was not anxious, looking at Wang Xuezheng and the others with a smile on his face.

Instructor Han Hong, Li Wei, is familiar with the new recruits. His foundation is a platoon leader of the former Red Third Army. After being adapted, he led the guerrillas to fight guerrillas in the central Hebei region. After being disbanded by the Japanese army after the May Day sweep, he was incorporated by the 12th District Team. Because he was from the regular Red Army, he was also a veteran who was trained by Russian officers sent by the Communist International. He has rich combat experience and is specialized as an instructor of the new recruits. He has a rough temperament on the outside and fine inside, and has rich experience in leading troops, which is quite like Li Wei in training.

The domineering style of the recruits scared the recruits to the point of seeing the rat. No matter how old the recruits were, they could not resist Instructor Han's glare. Many of the recruits were dissatisfied with him and complained about him when they were in the recruits' camp. However, after officially entering the combat troops, they understood the instructor's painstaking efforts. To be a soldier, they had to have a domineering aura, which was to be a hard persimmon that was difficult to pinch. There was no etiquette, morality and rules on the battlefield. Everyone threw away their hypocrisy, and only if they were more fierce, they could survive.

"Instructor Han bullied us as newcomers. He asked us to walk and stand and shout commands all day long, but he didn't teach us anything else. It was like this from morning to night. People were almost numb and didn't learn anything. Until today, we haven't even seen guns. Brother, tell me that we are just playing with such a colorful instincts when we come to the army?! I haven't learned anything about war." Wang Xuezheng's face was full of anger. After half a month, his monotonous boring actions almost turned him into a doll.

"If we don't move properly or get distracted, we often ask us to stand in line. Instructor Han is very good at harshing us, so scary." A recruit intervened and complained about his dissatisfaction.

"That's right, the loud voice, and everyone thought he was going to eat us... Other classes were training tactical movements, and we were still practicing walking. You said that after we had been eating for so many years, such an adult would not even walk?! It was obvious that we were like a child... I heard that the recruits in the National Army can practice target shooting with guns, but we were foolishly carrying half of the wood on their backs and refused to give one real gun. It was so embarrassing." Several recruits said their dissatisfaction with each other.

After hearing their complaints, Li Wei couldn't help but chuckled slightly. The recruits from porters were so cute.

Wang Xuezheng shook his thick eyebrows and looked at Li Wei and said, "Brother Li Wei, why are you laughing at? Are you just evaluating this? Is there such a slander?!"

"That's it, I don't think Instructor Han is messing with you, and he did nothing wrong." Li Wei nodded, not even angry at all. He grew up in an environment where his classmates were discriminated against in school. Li Wei's temperament has always been relatively independent and is not easily driven by others.

"What!" Wang Xuezheng stood up suddenly, his big eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that Li Wei said just now, and pointed at Li Wei and said, "I didn't expect that I would misjudgment from people. Humph, the Eighth Route Army is just like this. I can't stay here anymore. I look down on people, right? We don't suffer from this idleness. Brothers, go!"

A few young recruits also stood up, while a few mature and steady recruits did not move.

As soon as Wang Xuezheng walked to the door, he heard Li Wei say behind him: "Old Wang, don't be anxious first! Listen to me to finish my words first, why are you not patient at all?"

Turning around suddenly, Wang Xuezheng turned his head and said word by word: "What are you saying?! I just look down on us as a coolie."

"Haha, that's your wishful thinking. Come on, sit down, sit down!" Li Wei smiled and pulled Wang Xuezheng back with a few new recruits.

Wang Xuezheng saw that Li Wei was still not angry at all, and he still looked kind and looked at him. No matter how high he was, he would still be angry. He slapped the table and wanted to leave. As soon as he approached the door, he felt a little regretful. He left after staying in the Eighth Route Army for a few days. He was confused for a moment and became a deserter. His reputation was not good. Just as Li Wei's words sounded, which was a step for him. He was also pulled back by Li Wei.

Wang Xuezheng sat back angrily, stared at Li Wei and said, "You talk, if you miss the answer, I will leave immediately."

"Come on, drink a little water, don't be so anxious." Li Wei smiled and handed over the teacup and said, "Did Instructor Han beat someone?!"

"This!~~" Wang Xuezheng was stunned, thought for a while, and shook his head honestly and said, "To be honest, I have never seen Instructor Han beat anyone!"

"It seems that apart from saying that people are cowardly, useless, and garbage, they don't curse people very much, but their attitude is particularly fierce." Another recruit also recalled the behavior of Instructor Han in the recruit camp.

"Ah! Instructor Han likes evil people, but he has never seen anyone beat people. It seems that the instructors have never beaten the new recruits." When he talked about this, the new recruits were not as hot as they had just entered the house. When he calmed down, he thought that in addition to being resentful, the instructors had never beat people. They had also heard about the new recruits in the Kuomintang army. The soldiers who were officials were not ruthless at all. They all said that filial sons appeared under the sticks, and good soldiers were under the whip. Veterans were particularly fierce to treat new recruits.

"Do you know what I used to call the recruits camp?!" Li Wei smiled and deliberately showed a mysterious expression.

"I don't know!" Wang Xuezheng glanced at Li Wei and shook his head honestly.

"Hey, the recruits called me 'Demon Instructor'!" Li Wei stretched out a finger and shook it.

"Demon Instructor?!" Wang Xuezheng's pupils dilated, and he looked at Li Wei carefully as if he was a little unbelievable. His kind smile was not the same as when he was a Japanese stronghold. In addition to the coldness and ruthlessness of killing Japanese soldiers, Li Wei, who had always been approachable in front of them, could not find any devil-like characteristics from head to toe.

"Yeah!" Li Wei nodded and affirmed again, and then said, "When I led the recruits, I was much more fierce than Instructor Han. Not only did I curse people, I also beat all the people who dared to be disobedient. Now the recruits were all honest." He was still thinking about his great achievements at the time. A person's happiness was indeed based on the pain of others, especially the pain of more people. The recruits were all tortured and Li Wei's reputation spread.

"Haha, brother Li Wei, this is impossible!?" Wang Xuezheng thought that Li Wei was joking with him, but the word "demon instructor" was an absolute taboo in the recruit camp, so most of the recruits didn't know it. They only knew a little after entering the formal combat company. This also caused the new soldiers who entered Li Wei's hands to almost never dared to bring the thorns.

Li Wei did not continue to answer Wang Xuezheng's topic, but his face turned straight and his expression turned serious: "Do you know why Japan, which has a population of only 30 million, can invade China with a population of 40 million, and first swallow up the three eastern provinces and then enter North China to suppress the Chinese army?!"

Li Wei threw out a topic like a bombshell.

These new recruits from porters had never thought of this problem before, and shook their heads together. Only now do they know that the population difference between China and Japan is so big, and a trace of anger in their hearts is expanding. Even the little Japanese, which does not have a total population, actually occupied half of China. It is a shame and humiliation. The large number of people opposed the bullying of the few people, is simply incomprehensible to Wang Xuezheng and others.

"Although China has a large population, it is a mess, and internal conflicts are constantly in progress. Japan has become a tight fist, which makes China's loose sand be smashed into pieces by this fist. Even if the population is large, it is useless. The Chinese warlords act independently and do their own things, and cannot work together at all. The overall advantage has become a local disadvantage. This will make the three northeastern provinces easily lose, not united, and lack discipline. This is a common problem accumulated by the Chinese since ancient times." Every time they talk about this, Li Wei always becomes very excited. He glanced at the people in the room and said, "The most important purpose of Instructor Han's training is to train your organization and discipline. You have been porters for so many years. The habits that ordinary people have developed are deeply rooted and not easy to get used to being close to others.
