Not far behind the Fifth Company's position, the cooking squad set up an iron pot to cook under a big tree on the edge of a forest.

Cao Yougen took a few sips of wine, his thin black face turned red, his energy improved a lot, and finally began to manage the company. He looked at the iron pot he had set up, frowned, and coughed hard. Everyone looked at Cao Yougen and continued to work on their own affairs.

Cao Yougen coughed gently again and cleared his throat, twisted the lid of the kettle, and said lukewarmly: "Lu Wensheng, I see you, the squad leader, are getting back to you!"

This sentence attracted everyone's attention, and they all stared at Cao Yougen and the chef squad leader Lu Wensheng.

"Didn't I say that you must bury a pot to make rice, and dig two ground dragons to disperse the smoke?"

The chef squad leader Lu Wen grew up short and chunky. Those who don’t know thought he was a child of a rich family. In fact, he was just a child of a native village. His father spent money to find a scholar from a neighboring village to give him a literary name. In fact, he couldn’t recognize a lot of words.

Hearing Uncle Gen’s questioning, Lu Wensheng lowered his head and realized his own problem.

"Uncle Gen, I'm cooking in the woods, and here is the back, so the Japanese can't take care of it. Actually, I made this idea." Kong Xiaozhuang, the clever ghost in the kitchen squad, rushed to answer, telling the truth and trying to help the squad leader.

"Hehe, behind? You recruit, you know nothing! You want me, Lao Cao, to say, you are a good son, and you want to die, don't pull the whole class, and don't pull the whole company!"

Uncle Gen smiled but not smiled. His thin cheeks were shining with a pair of spiritual eyes, staring at Kong Xiaozhuang and saying.

Uncle Gen's sharp eyes were like a shining bayonet, reaching Kong Xiaozhuang's eyes until his heart made him feel uncomfortable.

"Uncle Gen, I, I was wrong! This is not Xiaozhuang's idea. I also tried to make things simple at that time." Lu Wensheng raised his head and said timidly.

"Listen to you, the sound of cannons and gunshots! Humph! Beneath the Japanese's nose, be careful at any time. What is the method I, Lao Cao, teach? I will never cause trouble for the troops!"

It turns out that Uncle Gen's set of rice making is considered the one in German tactical training. The so-called burying pot means digging a ground stove to put the pot, and the "ground dragon" means digging two or three small ditches that disperse smoke on both sides of the back of the stove, and covering the small ditch with branches to increase the diffusion surface of smoke and dust. Therefore, Uncle Gen naturally has his confidence in speaking. In addition, he used the collected charcoal to cook in the past few days, which saved the kitchen team a lot of trouble. His set of this has long been accepted by everyone? But Uncle Gen is not there? Because of his paralysis and relaxation on the second line, he was forgotten by the soldiers who had just learned this set.

"Uncle Gen? Don't worry! I will never dare again!" Lu Wensheng promised respectfully.

"Hmph! Are you the squad leader? You have your own opinions! Also? Don't forget to use the jar to stuff some charcoal after cooking."

After saying that, Uncle Gen unscrewed the lid again, took a small sip of wine, twisted the lid again, and closed his eyes slightly.

Yang An was a little puzzled by the company commander's failure to retain the scattered soldiers of the Gui army. As soon as the two of them took a few steps, Yang An asked softly: "Company Commander, why didn't you say it?"

The four-eyed company commander smiled meaningfully and replied, "Why did you think?"

Yang An shook his head gently, without an answer.

"You have just joined the army for a few days, but in fact you don't know much about the people who carry guns and eat. I told you before that this is the reason for dealing with soldiers more."

Hearing this, Yang An frowned slightly, and then heard the company commander say, "Look, these soldiers, the highest rank is the sergeant Xiao Huagui, and the lowest sergeant, and the lowest sergeant are all corporals. They are all veterans who have been carrying guns for several years. Do they have no concern for the troops?"

"Then the company commander wants to keep them?"

"Yes, so you can't be too hasty, you have to take it slowly."

"Do you have to take your time?"

"Yes! Take your time. Yesterday, their troops abandoned the wounded soldiers, which was the most taboo thing on the battlefield and even a unit. Because on the battlefield, no one can guarantee that they will never be injured. Abandoning comrades is actually abandoning themselves. Besides, there is Xiao Huagui's cousin among the wounded soldiers, which makes him feel even more ashamed of abandoning his brothers. This is also the reason why he knew that you were crying loudly after carrying Uncle Gen back all the way. In fact, last night, you carried Uncle Gen for half of the way. You, an officer, must have done this out of sincerity. I think, seeing your sincerity, Xiao Huagui should have recognized you! Accept you! Maybe he will follow you!"

"Me?" Looking at the company commander's eyes, Yang An was still puzzled.

"Yes! Human feelings are complicated. The things their troops lost in this battle happened to be that my 66th Regiment did not lose, my 5th Company did not lose, and you, Yang An, did not lose. In other words, they watched you pick up things they should not have lost, and they made up for their inner regrets and made them feel safe in your row. It should be said that they found a sense of home from you. Why did I specifically tell them "not abandoning, not giving up, not retreating" to let them know what the most important thing is for a unit. Do you think they want to stay in your row?"

"Don't give up, don't give up, don't retreat," Yang An murmured.

"Yes, don't abandon, don't give up, don't retreat! This is the essence, energy, and spirit of a force, just like the soul of a person! With this kind of essence, energy, and spirit, the force will never be distracted and will never be defeated at any time!"

Yang An thought, "No wonder the 11th Division has never lost a battle so far. Apart from excellent command, this kind of essence, energy, and spirit are very important!"

Looking at Yang An's expression, the four-eyed platoon leader continued: "Of course, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. Even if such a unit is defeated, it will not fall due to temporary failure. Instead, he will become more and more courageous and will eventually defeat his enemy!"

"The more you get, the more courageous you become, and you will eventually defeat his enemies!"

Yang An nodded thoughtfully. He did not expect to leave Gui Jun and other people, nor did he expect that his unintentional actions would impress these scattered soldiers or let them stay with him. At the same time, he did not expect that the company commander had really put a lot of effort into keeping these veterans.

"Also, the troops who come to Shanghai have dozens of divisions, and each unit will be transferred at any time. It is so easy to find their troops. Let them take a break here for two days first, and they may change their idea of ​​returning to the team. There is a lot of knowledge to lead troops, so you can experience it slowly!"

Looking at the company commander's eager gaze, Yang An nodded firmly.

The cooking team finally prepared the meal. Each person had a box of white rice and half a spoonful of radish meat soup. The bacon was recently visited by the people. Everyone could get two slices of fat and thin meat slices, plus a few pickles. This is of course a rare hot rice, hot soup and good dishes. In addition, there is no need to prepare for the battle and there is plenty of time to eat. Everyone in the fifth company was full of expectations.
Chapter completed!
