Chapter 45 Vice Principal Zhao
When Zhao Gang heard that it was Chen Xiao in front of him, he became less vigilant.
The fact that he could call out his own name might be because he knew it from the Independent Regiment. After all, someone who has not yet participated in the work is not well-known.
But if a person like him who is not well-known is known by people other than his own people just as he is about to take office, then the headquarters will be in a mess!
So after ruling out the possibility that the other party was an enemy through the process of elimination, Zhao Gang felt relieved and followed Monk Wei.
Before he even arrived, he recognized Chen Xiao at a glance he had read the report before coming and knew all the information about the Independent Regiment and Li Yunlong, as well as what kind of personality his future partner would have.
He also knew the relationship between Li Yunlong and the Northwest Shanxi Scout Agricultural Science School, and saw the information of Chen Xiao, the school's principal.
The information stated that he was about 1.85 meters tall, no more than two centimeters off, with a fair complexion and a sunburn-resistant complexion. He was somewhat reluctant to join the Eighth Route Army for unknown reasons, so he refused to wear the Eighth Route Army uniform. There were no Zhongshan suits in the base area, so he had to wear a scholar's gown all year round.
Although he is a scholar, he has great strength and the courage of a king. He is accurate in shooting and bombing, invincible in bayonet fighting, can kill enemies silently with his bare hands, and is good at stealth.
Chen Xiao, who grew up in Europe and studied at the Zhihu Research Institute founded by Chinese, said that he learned a lot, but now he can't remember a lot of things. After research by the headquarters, it is suspected that his head has suffered a collision, causing partial amnesia.
In order to bring the improved potato varieties back to the motherland, no one in the Zhihu Research Institute had any news. Chen Xiao guessed that they had all died. He showed world-weariness for many times and often said that after the Japanese were driven away, he might go to see his parents.
Thinking of these materials and the instructions from the headquarters before he came, he should make use of his strengths as a political cadre, win Chen Xiao into the Eighth Route Army, and enlighten him to help him resolve his world-weariness.
"Hello, Political Commissar Zhao! I am Chen Xiao." Chen Xiao took two steps forward and came over, and Li Xiongfei and Zhang Shicheng also followed.
"Hello, Principal Chen!"
Zhao Gang looked in surprise at the soldiers behind Chen Xiao who were wearing various military uniforms. The uniforms they wore included those of the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army, the Sichuan Army, the Guangxi Army, and all kinds of military units.
What kind of team is this?
Why are you with Chen Xiao?
Could it be that Chen Xiao was won over by the National Government?
"Hello, sir!"
Li Xiongfei, Zhang Shicheng and their followers saluted immediately when they heard that the person in front of them was the political commissar of the independent regiment.
In the army, class concepts have been deeply rooted. The regiment political commissar is on the same level as the regiment commander. The regiment commander is at least a lieutenant colonel in the Central Army, but most of them are already colonels.
No matter how much they look down on the Eighth Route Army's poor equipment and crude weapons.
But the obvious rules must be followed. After all, this is the army, and an army without the concept of superiors and subordinates cannot win a war.
"Who are you?" Zhao Gang returned the salute and asked in confusion.
"This is Li Xiongfei, this is Zhang Shicheng, and these brothers have just escaped from the enemy's prisoner-of-war camp."
Chen Xiao simply introduced them.
"Principal Chen is giving us face. Without your help, with our abilities, we wouldn't be able to escape even if we all died!"
How could Li Xiongfei dare to hide Chen Xiao’s contribution? After all, it was Chen Xiao who saved his life!
"What's going on?" Zhao Gang was curious and asked.
Then he found out that these were all captured soldiers in the POW camp. They were taken to serve as sparring partners for the enemy's special forces in life and death training, and were rescued by Chen Xiao who sneaked in.
"Another special forces soldier from the Japanese army, actually using living people as sparring partners for life and death. Fortunately, you met Principal Chen.
Speaking of this, the Japanese special forces team had already died once at the hands of Principal Chen.
More than 2/3 of the entire Japanese special forces team was wiped out by Principal Chen and his students, without any casualties among them.
You don't know, the combat effectiveness of those special forces teams is extremely strong. They are all equipped with German-made submachine guns. If they all fire at the same time for half a minute, they can immediately fire out two thousand four to five hundred rounds of bullets. They are simply invincible in close combat!
But they met Principal Chen's scout cadets, and almost all of them were wiped out in one battle.
The students he taught are incredibly strong!"
Is it so cruel?
It didn't seem strange. When he was in the prisoner-of-war camp, he killed more than 30 Japanese devils by himself. If there were dozens of people like him, it should not be a problem to capture a special forces team.
However, there were no casualties on their own side, which was a bit mysterious. You know, all the soldiers present who had come out of the prisoner-of-war camps had basically experienced the Battle of Xinkou.
That battle was so brutal!
There were more than 100,000 casualties, but only 20,000 to 30,000 Japanese soldiers were killed, which is almost a 5:1 casualty ratio.
But there was a strong man in front of him who led the student soldiers to annihilate the enemy with zero casualties.
They were a little excited. They were not afraid of fighting, but they were afraid of following the wrong leader.
In fact, sometimes soldiers are really not afraid of death, but it is not worth it for them to be afraid of death, especially for those unruly ones like them who are specially picked out to serve as life and death sparring partners for others.
They really don't care about their own life or death, but want to find someone who can truly lead them to fight the Japanese.
Li Xiongfei and Zhang Shicheng looked at each other and understood what the other wanted to say.
Just like the original plot, when the monk heard that it was Li Yunlong who dared to fight Sakata head-on with a bayonet and break through, he immediately followed Li. Sometimes what they want is very simple, they just want to win the battle.
If you have never experienced years of constant defeat, you won't be so eager to win a battle.
Because at that time, all national self-confidence had been almost destroyed, many people saw no hope, and many people even chose to leave the world.
According to statistics, there were over 2.1 million traitors and puppet troops during the entire Anti-Japanese War period.
Why so many?
Because they can't see hope, and when they can't see hope, they will become desperate, and when they are desperate, they will give up on themselves . After giving up on themselves, it is only natural for them to bow down and give up their dignity and live like a dog.
In fact, no one wants to be a dog as long as there is a chance.
Li Xiongfei and Zhang Shicheng wanted to seize this opportunity, so they came up to Chen Xiao and saluted.
"Principal, is your school still recruiting students?"
Chen Xiao was stunned. Wasn't it said that Zhao Gang was an honest man?
Looking at it now, it seems that the one who got involved was actually a monkey spirit. It turns out that he had long seen that these people definitely wanted to go back to their original unit.
However, after he learned that these people were people with strong fighting ability specially selected by the Japanese special forces to serve as sparring partners, he thought to himself that if he let these people escape, he would fail as a political cadre.
After all, these are the elites in the army!
As long as your thoughts are transformed, you don’t even need to practice when you are given a gun, and you will be a good fighter against the Japanese.
He learned how to recruit troops from the Central Army, the Shanxi-Suiyuan Army or the Sichuan Army.
Just give them hope of winning, that's all.
"Collect! From today on, you are students of the Northwest Shanxi Scouting Agricultural Science School.
Now, go and report to Vice Principal Zhao Gang!"
ah!
Zhao Gang was confused.
"Why? I, Chen Xiao, ask you, Political Commissar Zhao, to concurrently serve as the vice president of the Northwest Shanxi Scouting Agricultural Science School to manage the students' ideology, morality and life issues.
Are you going to refuse?"
Zhao Gang was ecstatic after he realized what was happening. One of the tasks he received here was to find a way to get close to Chen Xiao, understand him, win him over, and help him.
What better way to get closer to them than working together?
