Five hundred and ninetieth chapters the wicked complain
"boom!"
The livid-faced regimental chief of staff Zhang Qingyun climbed into the trench and fired a shot in the air.
The dull sound of gunfire frightened the brothers who were repairing and digging trenches, thinking that the Japanese advance troops were approaching.
They hurriedly threw away the shovels in their hands, grabbed their guns and lay down, but when they raised their heads and looked outside the trenches, they saw that the trenches were empty and there were no people around. There were no Japanese anywhere.
The brothers who were closer to Zhang Qingyun were even more confused. Gunshots rang out right next to them. They stared blankly at Zhang Qingyun as he fired a gun into the air, not knowing why he was so crazy.
"Damn it, who is firing guns randomly!" Some brothers were teased and cursed loudly.
Some brothers pushed the cursing brother, lowered their voices and pointed at Zhang Qingyun, who was not far away and looked ashen-faced: "Is it Chief of Staff Zhang who fired the gun?"
The scolding brother saw the gun Zhang Qingyun held up in his hand and muttered: "I was scared to death. I thought the Japs were coming. No, why did he shoot when he had nothing to do? The Japs' plane has already left."
The brother next to him rolled his eyes: "Ask me, what do I know? Maybe the gun went off."
The brothers all stopped and stared blankly at where Zhang Qingyun was, with doubts on their faces. What was this doing?
First Battalion Commander Lu Xing also heard the gunfire and rushed over. He saw Zhang Qingyun holding the gun with an ugly expression. He was stunned for a moment and then walked over: "Chief of Staff Zhang, the gun went off. How about I do this?"
I'm very good at it."
Lu Xing also saw that Zhang Qingyun was unhappy, so he gave him a step down.
But Zhang Qingyun was now full of anger and wanted to establish his power, so he simply refused to answer Lu Xing's words.
"Captain Lu, you came just in time. Now that the regiment is not here, can you tell me what to do if someone disobeys the commander's order?"
Hearing what Zhang Qingyun said, Lu Xing was also stunned. What kind of trouble was this? He turned to look at the confused brothers and asked in confusion: "Is that what Chief of Staff Zhang said?"
Zhang Qingyun cleared his throat and raised his voice: "National prestige is everyone's responsibility. Soldiers of our generation should stick to their posts and shoulder the responsibility of protecting our home and country. Do you think I am right?"
"As a soldier, you have to protect your home and country." Lu Xing replied.
Zhang Qingyun pointed at the brothers in the machine gun platoon and said: "As soldiers, when enemy planes attacked, they did not obey orders and stick to their posts. Instead, they feared to avoid the battle and allowed the enemy planes to bombard them. What do you think I should do with them?"
Hearing that Zhang Qingyun was about to deal with the brothers in the machine gun platoon, the brothers in the machine gun platoon immediately said dissatisfied: "Chief of Staff Zhang, that Japanese plane is very powerful. If I had stayed in the machine gun position at that time, I am afraid I would have been reimbursed now. I am not a fool. The Japanese
If he hits me, I can still stand there and make it impossible for him to hit me."
The brothers around them all nodded in agreement. The Japs had always firmly controlled the air. Every time a Japs plane arrived, most of them subconsciously avoided it. After all, no one wanted to die in vain.
But seeing that Zhang Qingyun wanted to hold them accountable now, they felt that it was a big deal.
"Since you are so afraid of death, why should you be a soldier? Since you are a soldier, you must be prepared to die for your country!" Zhang Qingyun glared at the brothers and said.
The brother was a little anxious: "Chief of Staff Zhang, if I were afraid of death, I wouldn't be a soldier. After these dozen or so battles, I would have died several times. I'm not afraid of death, I just don't want to be unclear.
's death."
As soldiers, they knew that going to the battlefield meant they would die, but they came without hesitation to fight the Japanese. But now they were said to be greedy for life and afraid of death, and the straightforward brothers suddenly stopped working.
"Stop making excuses. You are just afraid of death. No matter how many reasons you give, it won't change. I am the commander, and I asked you to shoot. But you are hiding in the trenches one by one. It's not that you are afraid of death.
."
The brothers blushed at Zhang Qingyun's unreasonable logic, but they couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, so they could only stare angrily.
"Chief of Staff Zhang, there are regulations in the air defense regulations. It is not a fear of death for brothers to avoid Japanese planes. Besides, under such circumstances, it may not be appropriate for you to ask brothers to resist the shooting of Japanese planes."
Lu Xing finally figured out that Qingyun was using the subject as an excuse, so he directly refuted it.
Zhang Qingyun did not expect that Lu Xing, as the battalion commander, would refute his authority in public, which made him even more angry.
When he first acted as the commander of the regiment, both officers and soldiers followed him in dissent. It would be fine if things continued like this in the future.
Zhang Qingyun's face immediately darkened: "Battle Commander Lu, I just want to ask you, who has the final say in the regiment now?"
Although Lu Xing was extremely reluctant, he still had to bite the bullet and said: "Of course Chief of Staff Zhang has the final say."
"Well, I now order you to arrest these people who are greedy for life and fear death and put them in confinement to serve as a warning to others!"
Zhang Qingyun pointed at the brothers in the machine gun platoon and ordered with a stern face.
Lu Xing looked at Zhang Qingyun, and then at the disgraced brothers standing there, shook his head and said, "Chief of Staff Zhang, I'm sorry to obey, but I think they did nothing wrong in avoiding the enemy planes' fire."
Seeing Lu Xing blatantly contradicting himself, Zhang Qingyun could no longer suppress the anger in his heart: "Okay, okay, since you don't take me seriously."
"Now, in the name of acting commander, I am announcing that Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion, has disobeyed military orders and is revoking his position as battalion commander."
As soon as Zhang Qingyun said his words, Lu Xing immediately looked ugly, and the brothers started making noises one after another.
"Chief of Staff Zhang, what right do you have to remove Battalion Commander Lu?" a brother asked.
"That's right, you are just an acting captain, what are you so pretentious about?"
…
The brothers all defended Lu Xing. Lu Xing stretched out his hand and pressed down on the brothers, and the brothers became quiet.
"Brothers, please be patient. Since Chief of Staff Zhang wants to remove me from my post, I accept it."
After Lu Xing finished speaking, he glanced at the proud Zhang Qingyun and walked away without looking back. He was dismissed as soon as he was dismissed. He was too lazy to wait. Let's see how Zhang Qingyun can command his brothers.
"What are you still doing? Arrest them and put them in solitary confinement." Zhang Qingyun became even more arrogant when he saw Lu Xing surrendered.
These brothers were all brothers who took bullets from each other on the battlefield. It was a life-and-death friendship. Even those recruits had integrated into this group because of the battle last night. Zhang Qingyun's orders were ignored at all.
"You, you guys, go over there."
Zhang Qingyun is currently riding a tiger, unable to dismount. He originally wanted to establish his authority, but he didn't want to end up like this.
The brothers who were called by Zhang Qingyun all held their stomachs and shouted: "Ouch, my stomach hurts, I can't do it, I can't do it..."
They held their stomachs and ran away one after another. When the other brothers saw Zhang Qingyun looking over, they also gave various reasons to run away. Zhang Qingyun was so angry that he cursed, and finally walked away and went straight to the brigade headquarters.
"Prince, I can no longer be the acting captain——"
Full of grievances, Zhang Qingyun approached the brigade commander Zhou Zhidao and started to complain first.
