"We here are all commanders at all levels of our Northern Jiangsu Corps, and we are all the pillars of the fight against the Japanese invaders. I am calling you here for this meeting, not to criticize you or beat you, but to remind you that you are now
You are not just a person, but an officer commanding the troops. Your words and deeds will affect your company. Every decision you make will have a great impact. If the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, you are proud and underestimate the enemy, causing
There will be huge casualties among the brothers, and the whole army may even be annihilated..."
Seeing the expressions of annoyance, regret and self-blame on the officers' faces, Yang Ling also spoke out his good intentions with sincerity.
These officers were all promoted and brought out by Yang Ling. He has been cultivating them with all his heart, hoping that they can grow up and stand on their own.
Because after all, Yang Ling is just an ordinary person. No matter how powerful he is, he can't beat the four-handed man with two fists. No matter how many Japs he can kill, he can't change the overall situation much.
However, he was able to rely on his own efforts and constant battle training to cultivate a group of experienced and cutting-edge officers who dared to fight.
If I return to the frontal battlefield after the battle, these independent officers can be like fire, able to fight in the vast occupied area, whether they continue to stay in the Jiangsu North Corps or go out alone to raise troops.
A single spark can start a prairie fire, containing a large number of Japanese troops.
When they grow up, even if they leave, they will be able to fight well independently without underestimating the enemy, causing heavy casualties to the troops and losing their foothold.
Everything Yang Ling is doing now is to reduce the mistakes they make in the future as much as possible, and to punish them in time now, so as not to cause irreparable losses by then, when it will be too late to review.
Yang Ling's words made these officers feel Yang Ling's good intentions, which made them who had previously been arrogant feel extremely ashamed.
If Yang Ling, the commander, had not given timely advice, if they had continued to be so arrogant and underestimated the enemy, they might not have suffered a tragic victory next time, but probably suffered a tragic defeat. Thinking of this, they felt a little cold on their backs.
Because they remembered that not only were they disdainful of the little devils, but the military discipline of the brothers below had also been somewhat relaxed recently. Because they had won the battle, they all gathered together to celebrate, and military training was also wasted a lot.
If it continues like this, the consequences will be unimaginable. They are all very grateful to Yang Ling now. Yang Ling did not remind them, but simply pulled them back from the edge of the cliff. If they took another step forward, it would be an abyss.
"Our world leader has won a great victory. The theater headquarters and all the officers have sent congratulatory messages. Our brothers have been a little restless these past two days. I have received reports of at least ten cases of drunkenness and fights, from every battalion." Yang Ling continued.
road.
"Sir, we will definitely punish them properly when we get back!"
The officers at the battalion and company level were all blushing, because they had been drinking to celebrate the victory in the past two days. At this moment, they were sobered by Yang Ling's beating, and they hurriedly patted their chests to reassure themselves.
Seeing that these officers all looked distressed and corrected themselves, Yang Ling was also very pleased. Knowing his mistakes could make a lot of improvements. What he was most worried about was that he wasted his words and failed to achieve the expected results.
"There is no need to repeat the punishments. I have already enforced military law on those brothers who drank and caused trouble. I have imprisoned many of them. Later, you will send people to the solitary room of the security company to pick them up." Yang Ling waved his hand.
"Brothers have been fighting at high intensity in the past few days. Now that we have won the battle, drinking some wine and making trouble are all normal. People need to vent their emotions. But starting from tomorrow, all units must re-observe military discipline and enter the military immediately.
We are in a state of training, and we are not allowed to leave the camp without orders to disturb the people."
"yes!"
All the officers in the room answered in unison, with loud voices. They now really realized that they had been complacent before and had indulged themselves and the troops too much. They must restrain themselves.
"We have won a great victory this time. Not only do the Japanese regard us as a thorn in their side, and may carry out large-scale retaliation at any time, but our friendly forces are also staring at us, and many people are also staring at us. The so-called shooting leads to the first bird.
Go back and restrain the troops, and improve the relationship with the people near the station. Don't be caught. If someone commits a crime at this juncture and is stabbed to Commander Yu, don't say I won't protect you.
There is nothing you can do." Yang Ling reminded again.
"Sir, don't worry. We will definitely restrain the troops. They will only train, so that they have no energy to do other things!" Second Battalion Commander Wu Changqing stood up first and made a promise to Yang Ling.
"Our third battalion will also strengthen training and never cause trouble!" Luo Feng, deputy commander of the third battalion, also stood up.
"If anyone in our first battalion dares to cause trouble, I will take care of him without the need for the commander to take action!" "Daozi", the deputy commander of the first battalion, also expressed his position.
…
The company commanders of each battalion issued military orders to Yang Ling one after another, which made Yang Ling feel relieved for the time being. Because they had been fighting all the time, the troops were now in a bit of chaos, and he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to put things in order.
After all, whether you are marching or fighting, be diligent in summarizing and reflecting. Only by constantly summarizing experiences and lessons can you make progress and gain more and greater victories.
"Starting from today, our Northern Jiangsu Corps will set up an inspection team, which will be directly commanded by me. It will be responsible for correcting the military appearance of the entire Corps, supervising and enforcing military regulations and laws. Whose brothers will be in the hands of the inspection team in the future?
Everything will be done in accordance with military law."
Nowadays, the military discipline of the army is worrying. In the past, military discipline was controlled by officers at all levels. Now, in order to further strengthen the discipline of the army, thereby enhancing combat effectiveness and cohesion, Yang Ling finally decided to establish an inspection team.
All the officers in the room were trembling, knowing that Yang Ling was serious about this. However, since Yang Ling had greeted them in advance and warned them, it was considered as an act of benevolence. They also wanted to go back and quickly get the troops in order.
Otherwise, when the real culprit is in the hands of the inspection team, where can I put my face?
Seeing the looks of the officers, Yang Ling naturally knew what they were thinking at the moment and did not criticize them. After all, his words had been let out. As for what they would do after going down, it would depend on their performance.
"Of course, in addition to announcing the establishment of an inspection team to let you get rid of your arrogance and rectify the troops, the other thing that I want you to come over today is that before dark, you will give the list of the meritorious personnel in this Jieshou battle.
I'll report it and we'll hold a commendation meeting tomorrow."
Yang Ling still understands the principle of adding sweet dates to a big stick. Now the officers are afraid to be proud, but it is not good to dampen the morale of the troops.
Although there were heavy casualties, after all, the brothers were worthy of praise for their bloody fighting this time. Every merit must be rewarded, and every fault must be punished. This is Yang Ling's style.
The officers were first given a scolding, and now they were asked to report those who had meritorious service for commendation. This made them all stunned, and then smiles appeared on their faces. After all, if their merits were not rewarded, they would not be able to lead troops in the future.
Well, what Yang Ling is doing now is the best thing for them.
