    In the evening, Zhang Xian paid for the cook to cook some dishes and delivered them to his barracks. Xu Haibo arrived as promised. Zhang Xian closed the door and there were only two of them in the room.

    This was the first time for the two of them to drink together, so they were a little restrained at first. After a few glasses of wine, Zhang Xian spoke first, chatting with the deputy battalion commander, but did not talk about things in the military camp.  It's nothing more than family situation and self-introduction.  Zhang Xian first introduced his experience. His resume was very simple, so he finished it in a few sentences, and then asked about Xu Haibo's situation.

    At the beginning, Xu Haibo was not willing to say much and just answered questions.  Zhang Xian still knew that this arrogant guy turned out to be a graduate of Huangpu. Like himself, he had served as squad leader, platoon leader, company commander, battalion commander, and finally reached the rank of regimental commander. This was just because during the second battle of Changsha, his  The regiment was wiped out by the Japanese, but he managed to escape. Only then was he demoted three levels and transferred to the 18th Army.

    When the battle of Changsha was mentioned, Xu Haibo became excited.  It turned out that in the later stages of the battle, he had judged that the Japanese were preparing to retreat, so he reported to the division headquarters and asked to intercept them along the way. However, the superiors did not think so and still asked him to only defend and not attack.  Seeing that the fighter plane was fleeting, he finally couldn't help it. He disobeyed the division's orders and led his regiment to pursue the fleeing enemies. He gained a lot and successfully intercepted a Japanese brigade with nearly 10,000 people by a river.  , unable to cross the river, and then sent a message to superiors to request reinforcements at full speed to eliminate this enemy group on the other side of the river.  However, the call back from above asked him to withdraw, and at the same time severely accused him of disobeying military orders.  The Japanese were also almost crazy. They definitely didn't want nearly ten thousand people to be wiped out, so they took advantage of the lack of follow-up by the national army and sent their troops to attack back, killing a carbine.  As a result, before Xu Haibo's regiment had time to withdraw from the blocking position, it was attacked by the Japanese from both sides.  Whether in terms of weapons or numbers, the Japanese have a huge advantage, and the results can be imagined.

    "You know what? This reminds me of Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms." Xu Haibo finally said: "The coalition forces attacked Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang and led his army to flee west. Only Cao Cao pursued Dong Zhuo westward, but was blocked by the princes. Cao Cao  I led my troops to chase him, but in the end we were completely defeated. If everyone had chased him together, I am afraid that it would not have been Cao Cao but Dong Zhuo who was defeated. Then the history of the Three Kingdoms would have been rewritten."

    "But you are not Cao Cao!" Zhang Xian said.  Cao Cao could withstand that failure, so he could go back and organize Qingzhou soldiers, and finally became Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms.

    "Yes! I'm not Cao Cao!" Xu Haibo sighed and said sadly: "But they all came to see my jokes like the princes. Originally, I was going to be shot by them because I didn't obey the military orders.  Later, at the battle summary meeting at the end of the battle, the commander-in-chief believed that my judgment and actions at that time were correct. If I had followed my suggestions, I would have won a complete victory. Despite this, I still had to sacrifice a regiment.  to take responsibility. That¡¯s why I was not executed, but was demoted and retained. From the division commander to the regimental commander, everyone in my division was implicated and demoted. Everyone hated me very much, so I couldn¡¯t stay any longer, and this is how I came to  The Eighteenth Army.¡±

    "So that's it!" Zhang Xian nodded. It seems that, just as Wang Yuanling said, this Xu Haibo is not simple. If what he said is true, then this person is indeed a talent.  However, from his few words, Zhang Xian can also see that this person is still a failure as a person. The so-called rejection of the wall by everyone, if he is popular in the military, he should be doing better than he is now, and there is nothing else.  Will be just a battalion deputy.  Come to think of it, this man's pride must have offended a lot of people.

    Xu Haibo drank a little too much. Maybe in the past few days, no one has sat with him so sincerely, and no one has listened to him quietly like this.  At this moment, he talked more. He told Zhang Xian honestly: "I have actually seen through it myself. I am born to be an unlucky guy. I always think I am better than others. Haha, but I am not better than others in any way."

    Zhang Xian also smiled and said: "I think you are indeed stronger than others, but maybe it's because you are too competitive and don't pay attention to curb your sharpness, so you are like this."

    Xu Haibo looked at Zhang Xian blankly, and couldn't help but nodded, and said sincerely: "You are right, you really hit the nail on the head."

    "Brother Xu is making a fool of himself." Zhang Xian said: "Now that we can work together in the same camp, it means that this is also the fate we cultivated in our previous lives. You are older than me, so I'd better call you brother!"

    Hearing what Zhang Xian said, Xu Haibo felt a little embarrassed and hurriedly said: "You'd better stop calling me that. In terms of your job, you are a commander. We are an army here, not a village. We should follow the rules!"

    Zhang Xian also smiled, said: "Even if it's an army, it's not against the rules to call you Big Brother, right?"

    Xu Haibo also laughed.  Sometimes, people are like this. A few words of "big brother" don't lack anything, but they make the other person feel much more comfortable. Unknowingly, they have narrowed the distance between them.

    "Do you know?" Xu Haibo told Zhang Xian honestly: "When I heard that I was asked to be your deputy, a little kid like you, I was unwilling. I always thought that you only became the battalion commander because of your connections. Only later did I  I know, it turns out that you are really an extraordinary guy. You were able to lead a company to retreat despite being surrounded by heavy troops. You also fought hundreds of miles back and rescued so many prisoners of war. Haha, did you know? You were assigned to this battalion.  Among the prisoners of war inside, two are from my original regiment. I don¡¯t think I have the ability like you.¡±

    "Brother Xu is just kidding." Zhang Xian continued what he said and joked: "So you still don't believe in my ability, so you gave me a hard time when we met yesterday to see how I can solve it, right?"

    Xu Haibo was stunned and laughed slyly, but he said helplessly: "You are right, but I didn't expect you to put this matter down and ignore it, and then come back to drink with me tonight."

    Zhang Xian also laughed and told him: "Yes, I don't want my deputy to not help me, but to ruin it for me, so I have to buy you a drink first. In this camp, I will invite you to sing when the time comes.  You're the white face, I'll be the red face. Haha, I'll take all the good things, you won't mind, right?"

    "Why don't you mind?" Xu Haibo glared at him: "I want you to compensate me when the time comes."

    "Okay, tell me how to compensate!"

    ¡°You should treat me to more drinks!¡±

    "That's no problem!" Zhang Xian agreed.

    *************************

    Early in the morning, Zhang Xian gathered the entire camp and started his first training camp after returning.  For these veterans, they naturally know the content. It is just a matter of carrying a fifty kilogram weight to climb a mountain, and then whoever comes back will have breakfast.

    Zhang Xian ran at the front as usual, followed by more than 500 soldiers.  Perhaps it had been a long time since this training was carried out, and many soldiers were a little overwhelmed, but when they saw the battalion commander personally leading the team, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and follow closely for fear of falling behind.

    In fact, Zhang Xian is also a little overwhelmed. This kind of exercise must be persisted every day. Once it stops, it will stop.  Fortunately, he has the foundation and excellent physical condition.  Looking back at everyone, they must have been a little sluggish since they didn't do this training after I left.  He paid special attention to Deputy Battalion Commander Xu.  This Xu Haibo obviously has not gone through this kind of training. He can no longer climb, but he is still trying desperately.  At the beginning of the training, Zhang Xian was afraid that he wouldn't be able to finish the job, and told him clearly that he didn't need to carry any weight, and that he just had to follow everyone up the mountain and come back down. But this Xu Haibo was very stubborn. He had to carry as many bricks as others carried.  Brick, not willing to enjoy privileges at all.

    Many people ran past Xu Haibo, and he had become the last one. While he was gasping for breath and frustrated, a hand stretched out. When he raised his head, he saw Zhang Xian's concerned eyes.

    "It's better to come empty-handed first!" Zhang Xian told him. Before he could make any further explanation, he had already taken off the weight on his body and took his hand to climb up the mountain: "This will come little by little.  You can't make a fat man with just one bite." He told the deputy battalion commander: "These soldiers have been trained by me for several months, of course they can do it. You can't compare with them, you haven't trained, and you still have to catch up with them.  It takes a certain amount of time.¡±

    "Why do you want to train them to climb mountains?" Xu Haibo was very puzzled and was already out of breath when he spoke.

    Zhang Xian told him honestly: "These are mountainous areas, not plains. If you don't have the ability to climb mountains, you may not even have a chance to escape."

    He was telling the truth. Of course Xu Haibo knew that Zhang Xian did not train these soldiers to climb mountains to escape. He understood the battalion commander's painstaking efforts, so he said no more, gritted his teeth, and followed Zhang Xian closely.

    *************************

    To everyone¡¯s expectation, after three days of confinement, Zhang Xian dealt with the four soldiers who made mistakes, but it was not as harsh as everyone imagined.  The two soldiers who disturbed the people were not fined with military pay or whipped, but were sentenced by Zhang Xian to the old melon grower to carry water for a month; Liu Xiaohu beat his comrades and was punished as the two soldiers he beat.  He had to do housework for a month, including washing clothes, folding quilts, and even washing his feet. However, Chen Daxing was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.  Not long after Chen Daxing was released, Zhang Xian granted him a month's leave and asked him to make his own arrangements.

    Xu Haibo did not raise any objection to Zhang Xian¡¯s punishment. For a moment, the seemingly stormy scene in the independent camp suddenly turned into bright sunshine.

    Soon, everyone received an invitation from Chen Daxing and happily went to Xiaoxikou to attend his wedding. He really became Old Man Jiang's grandson-in-law and married Jiang Xiaolian.  That time, Deputy Battalion Commander Xu also went.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The child turned into a bright sun.
