When Tiegang and more than a dozen seriously injured soldiers were sent back, 1st Battalion Commander He Guangming was chatting with three of his confidant company commanders, Yao Lei, Gao Chu and Zhu Chen. The topic of the chat was nothing more than the incident of the Dameishan Independent Regiment. Taking the initiative, several company commanders under He Guangming had some ideas about Xu Rui not bringing the 1st Battalion with him.
The reason why Xu Rui brought the 2nd and 3rd Battalions, but not the newly recruited 1st Battalion, was with good intentions. He did not want the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion to mistakenly think that he was using them as cannon fodder, and at the same time, he handed over the heavy responsibility of garrisoning the base area. 1st Battalion, also out of trust in the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion, Xu Rui hopes to win the recognition of the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion in this way.
However, things in this world are never that simple. There are many times when you want to achieve such an effect, but the final result is the opposite. This is the unpredictability of the human heart, because human thoughts are the most difficult to control. And this is also the main reason why the army emphasizes collective will so much.
Because if individuality is also emphasized in the army, then there will be no way to lead this soldier.
When the battle comes, this soldier says he will fight there, that soldier says he will fight here, and another soldier says he won’t fight, so why should we still fight this battle? Therefore, in the army, there can always be only one voice and only one will, the collective will! And all the officers and soldiers in the entire army are just part of this collective will!
Therefore, sooner or later, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion must integrate into the independent regiment.
However, Xu Rui didn't want to overdo it and wanted to give them a process.
However, not everyone can understand Xu Rui's good intentions.
Yao Lei, commander of the 1st company, said: "Isn't it obvious? The regiment leader took the 2nd and 3rd battalions with him, but did not take our 1st battalion with him. It is just a clear sign that he does not trust us. If you ask me, our Northeast Army is like this. Life is always the stepmother's, but we can't blame others for it. Who made us lose the four northeastern provinces? Who made Zhang Xiaoliu do something stupid?"
2nd Company Commander Gao Chu said: "You can't say that. We are also the Northeast Army. Why did the regiment commander bring the cavalry battalion?"
"Cavalry battalion? Can the cavalry battalion be the same as us?" Zhu Chen, the 3rd company commander, snorted, "The cavalry is a treasure, unlike our infantry, which is destined to be cannon fodder. Besides, the camp base is not steely enough to cause trouble. , look at that Tiegang running to the group leader no matter what, the relationship between the two of them is so strong, it’s like wearing a pair of trousers.”
"Can you say a few words less?" He Guangming was a little upset. He frowned and said, "When I decided to stay, I asked for your opinion. At that time, you didn't say anything, but now you are always saying this and that in front of my ears. If you don't find it annoying, I am still annoyed. , don’t let me listen to this again in the future.”
The three company commanders all shut up obediently and did not dare to touch He Guangming's bad luck again.
He Guangming fished out a pack of large front doors from his pocket, with exactly four left. Each person took one and started puffing away.
But less than half of the time, there was a sudden excitement outside. The four of them hurriedly walked out, only to see a truck driving into the station and heading towards the hospital.
He Guangming asked someone and found out that he was sending the wounded back.
After asking again, it turned out that the cavalry battalion commander Tiegang was injured.
"Gangzi was injured?" He Guangming was stunned for a moment, then walked away.
Yao Lei, Gao Chu, Zhu Chen and other three company commanders looked at each other and quickly followed.
Wait for four people to arrive at the field hospital. However, Tiegang had already been sent to the operating room. He Guangming had a good personal relationship with Tiegang, and he was worried about Tiegang's safety, regardless of the so-called rules and regulations of the hospital. At that time, I was about to lift the curtain and rush in, but I met a female doctor in a white coat walking out.
Seeing this female doctor, He Guangming and others were really shocked.
Damn, this female doctor is so beautiful, she looks just like the beauty in the New Year pictures. When have He Guangming and other warriors ever seen such a beauty? I was stunned at that time.
Being stared directly at by the four rude men, the female doctor immediately frowned and then babbled in Japanese. Judging from her expression, she seemed to be chasing them away.
"Japanese bitches?" He Guangming finally came to his senses.
The three company commanders behind He Guangming instinctively wanted to draw their guns.
"What are you doing?" Fortunately, at this time, Xiao Yanyue walked out of the operating room. Seeing Yao Lei and several company commanders trying to pull out their guns, Xiao Yanyue immediately raised her eyebrows and shouted, " What do you want to do? This is the center of the hospital, and you are not allowed to act wild. Get out, get out of here!"
"Japanese bitch!" Zhu Chen pointed at the female doctor and said, "She is Japanese!"
He Guangming also said with a dark face: "Yes, we must not let a Japanese operate on Gangzi. What if she secretly deliberately causes harm and harms Gangzi's life?"
"Captain He, what are you talking about?" Xiao Yanyue said, "Doctor Junzi is the best doctor in our hospital. Her medical skills are so superb. She even saved the regiment leader. How could she harm Tieying?" long?"
"What, she also saved the group leader?" He Guangming and others suddenly looked at each other.
"Let's go, hurry up. The operation has already started. You don't want Commander Tie to bleed to death, right?" Xiao Yanyue opened her hands and drove He Guangming and He Guangming out like chickens and ducks. He could only walk out in disgrace, and then he saw the wounded lined up in the yard outside, waiting for surgery.
"Why are they all from the cavalry camp?" Yao Lei immediately called out.
It is easy to identify whether it is a cavalry battalion or another battalion, because the Dameishan Independent Regiment does not have uniform uniforms. The cavalry battalion still wears the same uniforms as the 18o Division, the same as the 1st Battalion, and the 2nd and 3rd Battalions also have machine gun companies. Most of the officers and soldiers wore gray cloth uniforms, which were obviously different from their grass-green khaki uniforms.
Among the dozen or so seriously injured people lying in the yard outside waiting for surgery, only two or three were wearing gray cloth military uniforms.
"Sir, are you really using our Northeast Army men as cannon fodder?" Zhu Chen shouted loudly.
"You two should just say less." Gao Chu frowned and said, "You were not at the scene, and you don't even know what the situation was at that time. What are you yelling about?"
"What nonsense, what nonsense." Yao Lei said unhappily, "There are so many wounded, all from our cavalry battalion, can't you see? Are you blind?"
This is really a person's mouth, and both pros and cons are true.
Captain Yao was still talking just now, saying that Xu Rui did not trust their battalion, so he left their battalion to guard the home while leading other troops to fight. But in the blink of an eye, he said that Xu Rui led the cavalry battalion to attack with He is being treated as cannon fodder. He is in charge of everything he says about co-authorship, and Xu Rui is wrong no matter what he does.
Gao Chu retorted: "Since it is a war, how can there be no casualties?"
Yao Lei said disdainfully: "It's true that there are casualties, but why are they all from the cavalry battalion?"
Gao Chu said: "Perhaps the cavalry battalion was the main attack, so the casualties were higher."
Yao Lei said: "Isn't this still using the cavalry battalion as cannon fodder? Otherwise, why should the cavalry battalion be the main attack?"
Hearing Gao Chu and Yao Lei arguing endlessly, He Guangming became annoyed and shouted angrily: "Are you done?"
Seeing that He Guangming was angry, Yao Lei and Gao Chu said nothing more. In fact, they didn't really have any prejudice against Xu Rui, or they really had objections to Xu Rui's arrangements. This was just their instinctive reaction. To sum it up in one sentence, they have not yet integrated into the collective of the independent group.
It's not that Xu Rui or the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment are not welcoming, but that the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion have closed themselves off, because from the beginning, they did not think that Xu Rui would treat him sincerely, but it is no wonder that since Marshal Zhang was imprisoned, the Northeast The life of the Northeast Army was so miserable that the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Army suffered from paranoia of victimization.
However, He Guangming, Yao Lei and other company commanders at this time naturally did not expect that a greater impact on the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion would soon follow.
At noon, the main force of the independent regiment returned to the base area.
When the remaining personnel at the garrison and the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion heard the news, they rushed out of the barracks and rushed onto the road to greet their comrades returning from victory.
He Guangming, Yao Lei, Gao Chu, and Zhu Chen also followed the crowd and walked forward unconsciously.
Soon, the mighty team approaching on the road ahead came into view clearly. What surprised He Guangming and all the soldiers left behind was that walking at the front of the team was actually a Japanese Iron Bastard. If this iron bastard was not followed closely by the officers and soldiers of the Independent Regiment, He Guangming and the others would have drawn their guns at that time.
"Sir, is this the little devil's iron bastard? Captured?"
"No way, the little devil's iron bastard is so powerful, can he capture this too?"
"How can this be false? Why don't you just leave it open? Are you blind?"
Yao Lei, Gao Chu, and Zhu Chen were stunned and started arguing again.
As the team approached, the infantrymen following Iron Bastard gradually revealed their appearance. However, almost none of these infantrymen were empty-handed, and they all carried various captured materials on their shoulders.
“My uncle’s is actually a pheasant’s neck, with more than one erection?”
"What the hell, a Type 92 infantry gun? There are still four of them?"
"Hey, with so many rifles, how many Japanese can we kill?"
"No, at least it will take two infantry brigades. It seems that we have won a great victory."
"If I had known earlier, our 1st Battalion shouldn't have stayed home, otherwise it would be us who would be the ones to take advantage of this."
Looking at their comrades returning in high spirits, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion were envious and jealous. They kept thinking, how great would it be if they were like them
However, what made the officers and soldiers of the 1st Battalion even more envious was what was still behind them. As the team got closer and closer, overwhelming cheers suddenly sounded from behind them. When they looked back, they saw that the people in the town were coming. Among the crowd were white aunts, gorgeous little daughters-in-law, shy and timid eldest girls, and naked little kids, but the expressions on their faces were the same, all as if they were celebrating the New Year. I couldn't be happier. (To be continued.)
