Of course, if you want to understand China people, you must respect them first. Only in this way can you get their respect. This is the truth that Lagu realized.
Ouyang, a group of people, leads the street and occasionally talks a few urgent words.
There is a hotel in front, and the business door is still open. There are several Chinese officials coming in and out.
"Shall we get something to eat?" Lagu’s eyes gestured toward the hotel gate and said
"Well," Ouyang agreed, "I hope they can’t help it if they accept China banknotes and want rubles!"
"China banknotes are very easy to use here. Rubles are some waste paper. Bolsheviks call the people and can’t cash white notes!"
Tie the horse to the stump in front of the door. They lived as soon as they entered the gate. They looked around in disappointment. All the tables were full of people and they were all middle-aged people. These people took one look at Ouyang and continued to bow their heads to eat their food. Although Ouyang was a lieutenant colonel, no one took the initiative to give him a seat.
Ouyang turned to quit when Tugen came in, and then from a table by the window, one of several uniformed officers and soldiers came over and saluted Tugen very politely and said, "Please forgive me! Can you sit at our table? We’re leaving, "he said with a smile, showing a row of neat, white teeth and making a gesture to invite them to sit down." I’d like this brother to work for you. You are a sharpshooter-we are proud of the highest-level gunmen we have ever seen. "
At another table, several officers got up, and a tall, dark-haired officer also paid tribute to Tugen! Ask them to table.
Tugen nodded gently and patted the gunner’s badge on his chest. These officers also made the same move, and then left the door. Before several beautiful Russian women’s glass mirrors, they arranged their temples and played with umbrellas. When they saw these officers, they swarmed forward.
Ouyang, Tugen and Lagu went to the window and let it be squeezed into another table by Cossack cavalry.
Sparse, needle-like yellow light casts tablecloth through hanging curtains, and the smell of dishes dispels the fragrant and attractive fragrance of flowers on the small table.
When Lagu ordered food and other dishes, Ouyang thoughtfully tore an orange flower pulled out of the vase, took out a handkerchief and wiped it with sweat. Two tired eyes drooped and kept blinking at the neighbor’s table. The rude and cruel Cossack cavalry next to the sun spot tried to act like gentlemen, although they were very shabby and dirty. Although more than a dozen people squeezed into a table, they saw that two officers next to them offered their seats voluntarily.
Ouyang was silent until now and finally said, "Tugen, it seems that my lieutenant colonel is not as good as your sharpshooter."
"Lieutenant Colonel’s army is mostly sharpshooter, but there are few gunmen in the army. Many people will never break through after entering the advanced gunner level," Tugen said. "Moreover, the commander-in-chief also deliberately slowed down the training plan. The post-training course for advanced gunners is trained by himself and the audit is strict. Not every advanced gunner can receive further training. Only a savvy and talented gunman can be qualified."
"What is understanding and talent?" Ouyang asked
"I also made it clear that the commander-in-chief said that if you have it, you will have it. If you don’t have it, you won’t have it!"
"Although it’s subjective, I agree with the commander-in-chief that it’s enough for ordinary soldiers to practice the training course of gunmen who are shot at the level of gunmen …" Ouyang said.
Russian food didn’t taste to their taste. Before they finished eating, two officers walked into the restaurant. One of them looked for a table, turned his tanned face to Ouyang, and his eyes shone with joy.
"Ouyang! Is that you? ….. "The officer walked briskly towards him and cried impudently.
His Qing Wu lips gleamed with white teeth like droplets. Ouyang recognized that he was his classmate Fang Ce, a fifth-phase student of the Army University. The Northern Regiment Command took the staff and they shook hands tightly. Ouyang introduced Tugen and Lieutenant Lagu to Fang Ce. Fang Ce first cried in surprise. "Oh, my God, are you a five-star gunman or a sharpshooter?" Tugen "
"If it’s real!" Tugen said proudly
"It’s the first time I’ve seen a sharpshooter. I’ve just won the junior gunner level, but it’s hard to go any further. Do you have any good ideas? Or is there any experience that can teach me? " Fang Ce took Tugen’s hand and asked in a series like chasing idols.
"I don’t have any experience. I just kept practicing hard and ended up like this," Tugen said, but his statement made people confused and disappointed Fang Ce. He needed a shortcut instead of hard training, and hard training might not be able to achieve a high level of marksmanship
"Brother Fang Ce, how do you also make up a cult of personality like those soldiers? We’re staff officers, learning, and ten thousand people lead you to learn marksmanship. How much can it do? It’s not your first line to kill the enemy. "
"You can never have too many branches beside you!" Fang Ce said, "No one respects the marksmanship in the Chinese team, and learning marksmanship may save your life!" to be continued
Chapter 63 Kama River
"Everyone knows, but marksmanship seems to have no fate with us." Ouyang said, "I can’t give up how to practice." Then he asked, "What brings you here?"
Fang Ce touched Hu’s head with a bumpy face and leaned back-squinting around and said, "I’ll tell you more about yourself after I came with the 14th Division. I heard that your army headquarters is doing well. Why are you here?"
"The army thinks I’m too tender to experience the life of fighting at the grass-roots level," Ouyang said.
After dinner, Fang Ce and Ouyang walked out of the hotel together with Tugen and Lagu, a bunch of Cossack cavalry, leading the horse behind them, and they talked while walking.
"You see, the only thing I can do now is to lead these Cossack cavalry shopping, except that they were misunderstood by our soldiers and shot them in the head." Ouyang said with a wry smile. "The army told me to experience combat life at the grassroots level, but I can’t do such a chat."
"This can blame your poor marksmanship. If you are an intermediate gunman, you can go to the front line to kill people!" Fang Ce said
"Have you ever killed anyone? I mean, did I kill myself? In front of you, a gun hits the enemy’s chest and blood rushes like a blood arrow … "
"No chance," Ouyang said. "What about you?"
"I don’t have a chance either. Maybe that’s why I can’t shoot well," Fang Ce said. "Do you think I should kill someone and see blood?"
"Yeah, you woke me up, too," Ouyang said. "Maybe the commander-in-chief asked me to kill a few people at the grass-roots level … It is a defect that a soldier has not killed the enemy, especially in an army like the Chinese team …"
Ouyang smiled as if he were connected here, revealing a row of neat teeth and healthy pink gums. Narrow eyes narrowed and the corners of his eyes wrinkled like an ugly cobweb.
After turning into the first alley and parting with Fang Ce for half an hour, he walked out of the bustling area of the city, crossed the river railway bridge and rode all the way to the town where the cavalry regiment was stationed in the evening, but there was only one platoon leader in the town. Yu Xi told Ouyang Cavalry Corps that the large troops had been pulled to the Kama River, 300 kilometers away, and he was ordered to wait here for them to catch up with them.
After traveling overnight, Liu Shaochuan’s cavalry regiment was finally driven after midnight. At this time, it had reached a small town called Cherny on the Kama River, which had been abandoned by the Soviet army and a defense line was built on the other side of the Kama River.
The next morning, Ouyang and Liu Shaochuan rode to the Kama River and saw that the railway bridge had been blown up and there were only a few lonely piers left.
Kama River is not the widest here, but the river is still very wide, about 1000 meters long. You can see a winding trench along the bank of the river across the bank like a snake.
Ouyang said, "I didn’t expect such a river to be so wide. There is no way to cross the river from here. If you can’t cross the river, then the plan to occupy Kazan can’t be completed!"
Kazan is an important transportation base. If Kazan is occupied, the entire Soviet Urals defense line will collapse and millions of Soviet Red Army will be in danger of being annihilated.
Liu Shaochuan lightly say with smile "this plan is not you out? Don’t you tell us that you really don’t have a plan for how to cross the Kama River? "
"Of course, but keep it a secret for the time being?"
"Keep it a secret from me, too?"
"Of course, it has not been announced yet, but it will be soon. It is estimated that the infantry will come naturally soon."
"Don’t tell me, I also know that I can think of these tricks!" Liu Shaochuan said
"Then tell me … I’m all ears!" Ouyang said
"If it weren’t for the feint here, let the engineers repair the bridge and then send raiders to attack the ferry more than 100 kilometers away. There are several ferries where the river width is less than 400 meters. Engineers can build several pontoons a day so that the troops can successfully break through the Kama River and threaten Kazan!"
"To carry out such a plan, it must belong to our cavalry regiment."
Ouyang didn’t speak the fact that Liu Shaochuan said it was almost the same.
Seeing Ouyang’s silent eyes, Liu Shaochuan guessed for himself, so he ordered the cavalry to take a good rest in the town, search for horses, take good care of the horses, and sent scouts to swim along the river to visit the road to prepare for the arrival of infantry.
At noon, the 31st Regiment of 14th Division had arrived, and then launched a tentative mortar attack on the other side.
But after all, the shells were limited and stopped after a while.
Behind the trench on the other side of Kama River, there is a dense and impassable grove of alder and small white birch. On the other side, it is a peat swamp that was picked before the war and shone with rust-colored light. There are clusters of gratifying flowers like cranberries.
On the right, there is a road that is pitted by rain, which makes people feel like a lonely road that no one has ever walked on.
The edge of the forest is covered with withered wormwood, which has just been swept by shrapnel. A charred stump is arched like a hunchback. The winding trench of the yellow-brown breast wall extends into the distance along the banks of the curved Kama River.
Behind the trench, there was a factory in Cherny town across the village with dozens of people. When Ivan, a machine worker, was sitting at home and walking around anxiously, his wife and brother Korikov came running from the outside of the village. The street waistband sabre bumped against sacks full of sand, waving his hands at random. Ivan saw it from the window and hit his own door, then hid aside to give way to him. Korikov stopped at his house and gasped, grabbed his button and turned yellow, morbidly white eyes and said in a low voice.
"Have you heard? Our right infantry is pulling! Maybe they have to give up their positions? " Korikov’s eyes, which were like solidified pig iron, Cheren’s temples were in a mess, showing hunger, melancholy and despair.
"How did they give up their positions?"
"How did they leave-I don’t know?"
"Maybe it’s a relief? Let’s go to the captain and inquire about it. "Korikov turned back and walked to the captain’s house. His feet were sticky and wet, and the mud slipped straight.
Captain, that is, the captain of the village chief Red Guard, the guerrilla captain, the Soviet government called for the organization of the people’s armed forces. Before that, it was to overthrow the White Guards reactionary army, and now it is to resist the aggression of the Chinese team.
The captain told them that the Chinese team across the street was very cunning. They pretended that the fact of crossing the river here had quietly arrived at the mobile ferry, ready to occupy the ferry and attack the Kazan Red Army, and smashed their plot to quietly support the ferry over there. I hope the Red Guards will hold their ground and stop the other side from attacking, but the most important thing is not to leak the news and let the enemy know that the Red Army has quietly supported the ferry crossing here.
"The main force of the Red Army has left us. What if the China attack?" Korikov and Ivan said anxiously.
"That must be kept secret, and the Red Army didn’t send someone to fly the news without leaving troops," the captain told him.
