Chapter 168 Teacher Fang, come one!
The 41st Army stationed in Liuzhou has a glorious war history and brilliant achievements. From the Anti-Japanese War to the present, it has participated in the "Four Guarantees of Linjiang", "Summer Offensive", "Autumn Offensive", " "Winter Offensive", "Battle of Liaoshen", "Battle of Pingjin"...
The most worth mentioning is the Tashan Defense Battle.
In 1979, the 41st Army was also responsible for the main offensive mission on the Eastern Front.
Dare to fight and fight, a series of heroic deeds emerged.
The "bloody debt note" that Li Cunbao heard before was when he visited the 41st Army Company. This time, he followed the dance team and once again went deep into these grassroots units.
Fangyan was not idle along the way.
Walking and signing all the way, they all signed in the diaries of the soldiers. They were very enthusiastic about literature, especially the three spy novels "Listening to the Wind", "Latent" and "Dark War" song.
Among them, the most frequently asked question is when can I write about the frontal battlefield, preferably the counterattack against Annan.
Through the exchanges, I heard a lot of personal experiences in battles, such as the Battle of Shuojiang, "The Battle of Changpai Mountain", "Operation Lightning" and other movies, which are all based on this. Taken.
Fang Yan has watched many of them in his previous life, but this is the first time I have listened to their stories in person, and I have a special feeling.
"Annan clamored that the Shuojiang natural barrier is an unbreakable steel defense line and it will take three months to fight. However, our division broke through it in three days!"
"Don't say that, we The fight didn't go well at first. , and paid a lot of casualties."
"..."
"The credit for this battle in Shuojiang belongs not only to our division, but also to the 27th Artillery Group, which was responsible for cooperating with our attack. Group.”
The soldiers sitting in a circle spoke one by one.
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows and asked them to continue.
"The infantry has reconnaissance detachments, and the artillery also has reconnaissance detachments. These are the eyes of the artillery."
"The observation post behind enemy lines opened by the 27th Artillery Regiment seems to be the only one sent out on the entire east and west fronts. Observation post behind enemy lines, right?”
“That’s right, after the war, the observation post was given first-class merit as a collective, and the deputy squad leader of reconnaissance was given second-class merit once!”
Hearing "first-class merit" and "second-class merit", the soldiers spoke louder and their eyes twitched.
Li Cunbao sighed while recording: "It's a pity. The 1st Artillery Division should have returned to its station in eastern Guangdong, not here in western Guangdong."
"Don't feel too sorry. ”
Fang Yan patted him on the shoulder. Although there was no first-hand information from interviews with the parties involved, the 41st Army also had a lot of information from the observation post behind enemy lines at that time, such as operational procedures.
"Teacher Fang is right."
One of the soldiers comforted him by saying that although the 1st Artillery Division is not here, the artillery regiment of the Independent Division of the Western Guangxi Military Region has an established company that was transferred from the 1st Artillery Division.
Another soldier corrected him: "You remembered wrongly. The one that cooperates with our division is the 27th Regiment, and the one transferred is the 26th Regiment. My comrades in the recruit company are in the second regiment of that independent division."< br>
“Regiment 26? I seem to have some impression.”
Fang Yan vaguely remembered chatting with Zhou Weizhi.
When Li Cunbao heard about the 26th Regiment, he immediately stood in awe, because the lyricist of the Volunteer Army’s battle hymn came from this 26th Regiment.
Ma Fu Yao!
After being reminded, Fang Yan suddenly remembered.
When the soldiers heard this, they were surprised and envious. They also wanted to have a war song for the counterattack against Annan.
After chatting for a while, the two said goodbye and left.
“This time, I gained more than I did last time.”
Li Cunbao looked at the densely packed words in the small book.
Fang Yan said: "Then have you thought about how to write this manuscript about the counterattack based on these materials?"
"I now have a preliminary idea. . ”
Li Cunbao flipped through the small book and handed it over.
Fang Yan took it and looked at it. There was a list of characters on it.
Liang Sanxi, Jin Kailai, Little BJ...
"I heard from the soldiers that there was a division commander named Zhang. His son was a scout of the special agent company. He died during the execution of his mission. This little boy BJ' was written based on him."
"And what the instructor said was not entirely correct. At that time, there was a saying of 'three fronts', the command post was in the front, the officers were in the front, and the cadre boys were in the front. There was more than one such little BJ."
>
Li Cunbao's tone was full of respect.
Fang Yan looked at the beginning, ending, and relationship between the characters, and finally his eyes fell on "Zhao Mengsheng". Before the war, he was a pampered young soldier, and after the war, he was like a new-born fighting hero.
"I portrayed this post-war image based on Instructor Li. As for the pre-war image, I designed the image based on interviews with soldiers and descriptions of some cadres."
Li Cunbao reported truthfully.
Fang Yan looked down from above and shook his head:
"Zhao Mengsheng's character arc is not good enough."
"Character arc?"
Li Cunbao was confused when he heard this word for the first time.
"Character arc is a movie term, which is the trajectory of the character's personality transformation from the beginning to the end of the story, just like this 'Zhao Mengsheng'."
Dian Yanqing Qingqing Throat, Teacher Fang has started class!
Li Cunbao listened patiently, as if a layer of window paper was being poked open, seemingly torn but not broken, with faint signs of being poked.
Fang Yan handed over the book, "If the character's personality does not change, it will be too dull and stereotyped. But if there is no logical fulcrum and the change is too rapid, the readers will not be convinced. Take a look at this 'Zhao Mengsheng', is there such a problem? ”
Li Cunbao thought for a while and slapped his thigh suddenly.
"Yes, yes, that's right, that's right. Mr. Fang, Yanzi, you are so right! So how should we change this arc?"
"The key lies in the details. ”
“Details? ”
“There is a saying that a person’s character can be seen through the details.”
Dialect simply gave a few examples. Just like 'Chengcai' in "Soldier Assault", he has three boxes of cigarettes hidden in his arms, a high-end one for the company commander and platoon leader, a mid-range one for the squad leader and deputy, and a low-end one for his comrades. He is a shrewd philistine who sees what others are doing and takes advantage of others. The image stood up instantly.
Li Cunbao took a breath, as if he was enlightened.
Fang Yan said: “It looks like you’ve figured it out?”
“It’s figured out!”
Li Cunbao nodded excitedly, "I'm going to follow what you said. Let's go through this section. Zhao Mengsheng secretly ate candy in the dormitory. As soon as Liang Sanxi and Jin Kailai returned to the dormitory, they hurriedly hid it, and then there were clearly There are better Class A cigarettes, but I took a pack of Class C cigarettes and handed them to my comrades..."
"It's not handing them over, it's throwing them away"
Fang Yan corrected, "Think about it."
"Throw? Yes, throw!"
Li Cunbao's eyes lit up, "The details of this 'throw', It can be seen that Zhao Mengsheng despises Liang Sanxi and the others, and has never thought about integrating into this army. All he does is superficial. "
"A detail is worth a thousand words, and these vivid details can only come from life."
"Yes, for example, I also interviewed that the troops were about to go to the front line, but a clerk... When he received the order to leave, the comrades of the Sharp Sword Company said, "Isn't he afraid of death? Tell him to come to our company." This man was transferred to the Sharp Sword Company. After going through the war, he repented and made meritorious deeds. "
"Can't this be the turning point in Zhao Mengsheng's character arc?"
"I think so too!"< br>
The two were about to continue their deep conversation when a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, indicating that the artistic performance was about to begin.
These days, every time a company arrives, each company will organize everyone in advance to clean the front and back of the houses in the camp, wipe the doors and windows clean and bright, hold a simple and warm welcome ceremony, and also help unload the trucks and carry props. .
In addition to several visiting writers such as Fang Yan and Li Cunbao, there were also propaganda officers and military reporters from the 41st Army.
The songs "Red Detachment of Women" and "Happy Female Warrior" are very popular.
Multiple encores and encores.
While Li Jiangsheng was playing, the two people, who were still unfinished, continued the topic, adding details to Zhao Mengsheng, Jin Kailai and others, adding character arcs, and the more they chatted, the more involved they became.
As the drama and conflict became more and more intense, Li Cunbao was very excited, "After your changes, it has helped me sublimate. The hero has grown up and his image has become more three-dimensional!"
The voice was loud, The soldiers around him couldn't help but look sideways.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m so excited.”
Li Cunbao was embarrassed.
Fang Yan also apologized and clapped for Li Jiangsheng to continue singing.
"Bah bang bang."
The soldiers also clapped as if nothing happened.
After singing the song, there was a wave of applause.
Li Cunbao clapped his hands and said happily: "I didn't expect that instructor Li played the accordion well and sang so well."
The instructor smiled and said that the instructor was famous in the propaganda team back then. , whenever the "big man playing the accordion" is mentioned in the 41st Army, he is basically talking about Li Jiangsheng.
"Teacher Fang, the instructor can also compose music. He wrote the music for your "Love Life" and sang it for us."
"That's right!"
Dialect Times Surprised, would love to hear it.
The soldiers also wanted to hear it, and the female soldiers of the dance team such as Wang Wen, Lin Xiaoping, and Qin Yu wanted to hear it even more. They kept shouting for Li Jiangsheng to sing another one. They really wanted to hear this song " Love life".
“No, no, let’s let Teacher Fang recite it.”
Li Jiangsheng waved his hand: "What do you guys think?"
"What I say is not as good as what I sing."
Dialect laughed, "It still has to be professional. ”
“How about simply Instructor and Teacher Fang are both here!”
I don’t know who in the dance team shouted out first, followed by Qin Yu, Lin Xiaoping and others, who were looking forward to the instructor’s “Love Life”. , and look forward to Teacher Fang’s performance even more.
"How about I show off my embarrassment first?"
Li Cunbao took the initiative to stand up and wanted to sing a song to apologize for the rudeness just now. Anyway, in the army, you can not sing well. , but you must not be coy and sing like a girl.
I never expected that it would be better not to sing, but singing ignited the enthusiasm of everyone present, and they all clapped and cheered.
"Instructor, come one!"
"Teacher Fang, come one!"
The female dance team members such as Qin Yu and Lin Xiaoping shouted the loudest.
“Stop shouting, stop shouting.”
Li Jiangsheng said, “If you shout again, we will call in Agent Annan!”
“Hahaha!”
In an instant, the whole audience laughed.
Watching Li Jiangsheng being put on the shelf and playing "Love Life", Fang Yan noticed a series of eyes turned towards him.
Li Cunbao reminded me that it doesn’t matter if the singing is ugly, but the voice must be loud. It would be better to howl like a wolf than to sound like a woman.
Fang Yan touched his chin, his mind running rapidly.
You can't sing "Green Flowers in the Army". The song was sung in the morning, but the thoughts slipped in the afternoon...
"March of the Iron Torrent" won't work either, we don't have "March of the Iron Torrent" at this time. "Steel Torrent".
After a while, when Li Jiangsheng finished singing, both male and female soldiers applauded and stared at him like wolves and tigers.
