In the first episode of the volunteer chapter of "Meritorious", a sad thing happened. The spies sent by Taiwan used various means to lure the volunteer soldiers, and one of the recruits was moved by his success and chose to desert.
But in the end, he was captured by the volunteer soldiers. According to battlefield discipline, the deserter's actions could have been in danger of being shot.
Under the guidance of Li Yannian, this former deserter gradually matured, and finally at the end of the chapter, he took over the responsibility of sacrificing the squad leader, became one of the only remaining soldiers of the Seventh Company, and successfully led everyone to fight against the American army.
Although Li Yannian has done a great job in this process, in fact, what you may not know is that the strategy behind Li Yannian is what really makes us find interesting.
In order to educate the deserter, he went to great lengths.
Have you also noticed the routine behind Li Yannian? The way he cooperated with the company commander always seemed to make people wonder. In the play, when the company commander was emotional, he directly pulled out his gun and planned to enforce battlefield discipline, but the squad leader who deserted stopped him in time.
Although this scene may seem ordinary, do you remember that the company commander was a fast gunner? In the later plot, there is a bridge that seems to confirm this, which makes us surprised by Li Yannian's methods again.
When he was fighting fiercely with the U.S. army, the company commander drew his gun with amazing speed, and as soon as he made a move, he shot decisively and solved the battle in an instant. But it is strange that at this time, he drew his gun so slowly, which is obviously unacceptable.
In fact, this was part of Li's careful planning, and he believed that educating deserters was more important than shooting them, because shooting deserters could have a negative impact on the morale of the military.
People's hearts are flesh and blood, if you become a deserter, you will be shot, although the company commander and instructor are not wrong, but the military spirit is easy to be frustrated, so educating deserters can stimulate everyone's fighting spirit.
Li Yannian knew this, so he and the company commander started a double play, one singing black face, one singing white face, as a result, the fast gunner company commander's movements also became slower, but his eyes became more determined, as if to tell everyone that deserters can be educated, not should be shot.
Li Yannian won the respect of the soldiers through education, and his routines were so deep that even attentive viewers discovered them. His marksmanship was accurate, and this way frightened many soldiers, so much so that Wu Shoucai of the fifth class said that he did not dare to escape.
