Regardless of whether I want it or not, whether I am prepared or not, any more commands from my superiors... I am the company commander.
And as soon as he took office, he threw a lot of new recruits to me. What's even more deadly is now on the battlefield, on the battlefield where the Vietnamese army attacked one after another... I won't say anything about training integration I don't even have the chance to get to know my subordinates.
"Comrade!" At this time, a company commander stumbled to me and asked, "Comrade...Which is Comrade Yang Xuefeng?"
"I am!" I said.
"Report to the company commander!" The company commander stepped forward and saluted me...
But before he could tell the following, he was kicked to the ground by the scholar beside him: "You want to kill our platoon leader!"
"Yes!" The company commander realized that he had made another mistake just now. He climbed up from the ground with some embarrassment and said, "Report to the company commander... We just received an order from our superiors, and all 72 soldiers in the company obeyed resolutely. The company commander's commander!"
"Company Commander?" My soldiers were stunned when they heard the name of the first company commander.
"I just received an order from my superiors!" I explained to the soldiers: "Company Commander Luo serves as the battalion commander of the Fourth Battalion, and I serves as the company commander of the Second Company!"
"Okay!" The soldiers burst into cheers.
I could feel the joy of the soldiers from the bottom of their hearts. I believe... This joy is not only because I was the commander of the second company, but also because Commander Luo served as the battalion commander of the fourth battalion.
Maybe some people will say...what are there to be excited about the soldiers when we are promoted?
In fact, the idea of being a soldier is very simple, that is, to ask people they trust to be cadres, so that they will be convinced and relieved. This also means that they have a better chance to save their lives on the battlefield. Or even if they sacrifice, they will be able to do so. Value. Otherwise... if there is another battalion commander like Wang Jianfu, the soldiers will still listen to the orders of people like him... It would be strange if they were not angry to death.
"Company Commander!" I turned to the company commander and said, "I just did the first lesson of joining the second company: Don't salute to your superiors on the battlefield! Do you understand?"
"Yes! I understand!" The company commander responded and stood up and saluted habitually, but when I glared at me, I realized that he quickly put down his half-lifted hand. He only saw that the soldiers and I couldn't help but think. laugh.
When the first company commander left, I started to get into trouble... Our unit has almost the same number of people as one company. I just heard from the first company that there were 72 new recruits... The casualties of this new recruit company are huge enough, only one , the two battles were almost half lost.
Now the remaining 72 people plus the original 60 people in our second company, there are a total of more than 130 people... It's just right to form a company, but the organization is a bit messy, and one company is just fine There are two company commanders and there may be six platoon leaders... This is definitely not conducive to commanding and combat. So this rectification is necessary.
But how should we change this rectification?
I have two choices, one is to use the new recruits as a platoon alone, and the other is to disband the new recruits and divide them into various veteran platoons.
After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to choose the latter. The reason is that although the former seems easy to manage, it actually has endless troubles...
First: If a new soldier becomes an army alone, it is difficult to grow. Everyone will not fight. Look at me and I will look at you... No one knows what to do next.
Second: This is likely to evolve into two camps of new recruits and veterans... Don't think that such problems will not occur within our revolutionary soldiers. On the battlefield, others don't care about your situation, just like the company commander made a mistake just now.
It’s like a scholar who dares to kick him down with one kick... Veterans have a way to save their lives. If a new soldier violates this bottom line... then no matter who you are. Let’s talk about it if you kick him down.
After so long, there will naturally be a gap between the new recruits and the veterans.
More importantly,... break up the new recruits and distribute them to the veterans' troops. Although it temporarily affects the combat effectiveness of the veterans' troops, veterans can grow up with the new soldiers.
The old man also said this: "The veteran should lead the new recruits...that is, one look, two look, three fights! What does this mean? It is the first time that the veteran fights, the new recruits look, the second time that the veteran fights,
The third time I asked the recruits to fight by themselves! In this way, the recruits became familiar with each other after a few times!"
Thinking of this... I saw that there was still time, so I shouted to the scholar: "Xu Guoliang, you will be the leader of the second platoon from now on. Take the second platoon for me!"
"What?" The scholar was stunned and then quickly responded.
I know what he was surprised about... He was promoted too quickly. It was only more than two months before we went to the battlefield. A small soldier became the platoon leader, and I even became the company commander.
But this doesn't seem to be a good thing... because the subtext of quick promotion is actually a big casualty.
There is a reason why scholars will be platoon leaders. Several of my squad leaders, such as bayonets and Li Zuolong... are all powerful. Scholars are educated and have good brains to learn things quickly. They also look at the map to find directions or read.
Documents and other things... all have advantages. Don't think that this is irrelevant on the battlefield. If a squad takes action alone, these skills are still necessary.
Some people may say... Isn't it just right for the first company commander to be in this position? They are all company commanders, but now they are demoted to work as the platoon leader?
To be honest, this is really inappropriate. The reason is that although the first company commander is a big official, he can't fight. The platoon leader often takes the soldiers to fight on the front line, so he will definitely not be able to let the soldiers do it.
We were convinced that something might even be bad.
At this time, I looked at the soldiers with a strange look... I couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"
"Platform Commander..." Bayonet said with some reluctance: "No... I should call the company commander. Go to the platoon more often, don't forget our brothers!"
I couldn't help but laugh: "I'm not going to another army, am I still in the Second Company?"
"That's what it means!" The scholar replied, "But... I always feel that platoon... Company Commander, you are a little far away from us!"
"Nothing else!" Li Zuolong shook me with his powerful hands and said, "No matter whether you are a platoon leader or a company commander, as long as you follow you to fight, I will have nothing to say!"
"Plane leader!"
"Plane leader!"
...
The soldiers came up to shake hands with me one by one, which made me feel inexplicably moved. I originally thought there was no difference, but now they are a little reluctant to let go after such trouble.
Alas! Who said that the soldier was a man who was a man who was fighting? We are obviously a man who was striking the iron!
"Three platoon leader!" Then I shouted to the walkie-talkie.
"Come!" After a while, Liang Lianbing's answer was heard: "Congratulations to the second platoon commander, you have become the company commander! You are the company commander... I will obey you, brother! If you have any orders, I will say, I
Obey resolutely!”
I nodded with emotion. With the support of these comrades around me, I added more confidence in whether I could be competent for this company commander.
"Thank you, the third platoon leader!" I said, "You can transfer the troops immediately and change defenses with the recruit company, so that they can take a breath and do some rectification!"
"Yes!" Liang Lianbing pulled the troops up without saying a word.
At the same time, I took the recruit company back to the 393 Highlands and summoned the backbone of the recruit company, the company commander, and the platoon leader held a short meeting.
"Comrades!" I said, "I know this is the first time you have been on the battlefield. I think you have seen it and understood... The battlefield is not as simple as you think. We must learn it in the shortest time.
How to fight and survive, otherwise there will be only a dead end in front of us! So... I plan to distribute the chaos in the company to various veteran troops, and some cadres will inevitably become soldiers. What do you think?"
"Let me talk first..." The company commander continued my words: "Originally we thought that fighting is just like that... Everyone had never fought a war two months ago! As we fought, we would naturally...
...But it seems that it is not that simple now. The war between veterans is different. The gap is very obvious. My personal idea is... This choice is actually very simple. Do we want this life? Or do we want to be cadres.
!”
"The company commander is right!" a soldier nodded and said, "If you lose your life, why do you want this cadre?"
"I have no objection!" Another soldier agreed: "We don't know how to fight, so we naturally have to learn more from the veterans. If we want to be cadres, we have to be a little bit worthy. Otherwise... we are not as capable as our own soldiers, and we will fight a war.
I also have to ask what to do if the soldier is... Then what cadre is? That is embarrassing!"
So there is no problem with the splitting of the series. In fact, this was long before I expected... Is there a bloody lesson I have learned before?
"Very good!" I nodded and said, "The soldiers, I want you to do the work... I will convey the orders and we will adopt the principle of merging a new platoon and a veteran platoon to rectify.
Veterans are responsible for leading one or two new recruits, and using the method of taking two and three fighting, they can make the new recruits a qualified soldier as much as possible. As for whether they can be cadres in the future... they will rely on your lives to fight and fight.
Is there any problem?"
"No problem!" the soldiers responded in unison.
"Company Commander!" Finally, I said to Zhang Zuoliang: "You can be my deputy company commander in the future!"
"Well!" Zhang Zuoliang was surprised when he heard my words. He originally thought that he would be assigned to the army like other soldiers.
"Your current task..." I said: "It is to do a good job in the ideological work of the recruits and integrate the two troops. Do you understand?"
"I understand!" Zhang Zuoliang quickly understood... He is indeed suitable for this job, after all, the recruit company is his old subordinates, right? (To be continued...)
