Zhou Dongliang suddenly realized that the commander did not mind that he had few soldiers. The Zhili army was living a hard life. Most of the artillery was old and second-hand, which was different from the new artillery used by the Anhui army. In this situation, if you grab it, you will make a profit.
, he hurriedly issued an order: "Order each battalion to quickly attack Liulician. The captured prisoners will be collected as appropriate. The captured equipment does not need to be turned over. It will be digested directly by our troops!"
"yes!"
The messenger ran away.
Han Baihang listened silently, and his heart suddenly became excited. Since the army was recruiting prisoners to expand the army, he might not be able to take the opportunity to rebuild the vanguard selection team. He hurriedly asked Zhou Dongliang for orders: "Vice Commander Zhou, I also want to go to the front line."
Zhou Dongliang said: "If you didn't mention it, I almost forgot. I will write a warrant right now. You can take it to the Third Battalion and the First Company to take up the post." After that, he took a pen and paper and wrote a warrant, and asked a guard to take Han Baihang there.
Take office.
"I resign from my humble position!"
Han Baihang saluted a military salute and came out of the station. He was still thinking about the brothers in the fifth row who were forced to separate on the train. He didn't know how many people survived. The station was in chaos, and all the troops were moving forward.
Fortunately, with the help of the guards sent by Zhou Dongliang, we inquired at the station for a while before we found the whereabouts of the five rows of soldiers.
It turned out that they were placed in a hospital outside the station. Han Baihang hurried over and saw the brothers from the fifth row in the hospital clinic. After meeting, everyone was happy to reunite after a disaster, but when he saw the people in the room clearly,
, the smile slowly faded. At this time, there were only eleven people left in the room, and almost everyone was injured.
"What's the point?"
Seeing that there was no strength among the crowd, Han Baihang's heart skipped a beat and he had an ominous premonition.
The people present hung their heads, filled with grief. Xu Pengzu cried bitterly and said: "Lao He was hit by a stray bullet while trying to seize the car and died on the spot."
Han Baihang silently took off his hat to express his condolences. He felt that something was blocked in his throat. He couldn't cry even if he wanted to. He couldn't express his emotions. After a while, he looked up and sighed, and said in a low voice: "Generals will inevitably die in battle. I am not lucky.
You can no longer enjoy happiness with me."
He comforted Xu Pengzu and said: "Pengzu, I know the relationship between you and He Li. He died, and I feel very sad. But we are soldiers and we must be prepared to die at any time. Let's be open-minded.
"
Xu Pengzu choked and nodded. Han Baihang felt that his chest was very tight. He glanced at Zhou Baocai. It is said that Zhou Baocai and He Li had many grievances, but there was no trace of hypocrisy in the sadness on Zhou Baocai's face. His eye circles were red. This scene made Han Baihang
Very emotional.
Han Baihang scanned the remaining familiar faces and saw the bandage on the left arm of orderly Zhou Qing. He asked with concern: "Monk, is your arm okay?"
Zhou Qing moved his arms and said with a nonchalant smile: "It's okay. I drilled a small hole so it won't hinder the fight."
Han Baihang smiled and said: "You are the one who leads the way, I will promote you sooner or later."
As he spoke, he let out a light sigh and glanced left and right: "Where is Hou Zhaoren? He was also killed in battle?"
Zhou Qing said dejectedly: "He ran away. That kid jumped off the train halfway, otherwise I wouldn't have been injured by the Anhui army."
Han Baihang said bitterly: "It's all my fault for being soft-hearted. One day I will see him again and I will have to skin him."
Zhou Qing muttered: "I'm afraid it's hard to meet him."
Han Baihang thought the same thing, and then he chatted with the soldiers, waited for the doctor to bandage the wounds of the wounded, received some trauma medicine, and then led the wounded soldiers on the road.
On the way, General Han Baihang briefly talked about his appointment as the 3rd Battalion and 1st Company of the 11th Regiment. Everyone was very happy for him when they heard that he had been promoted, but when they heard that they would continue to fight, they felt somewhat conflicted.
Seeing this, Han Baihang explained: "After Duan Zhigui was captured by us, the defeat of the Anhui army was determined. Our attack this time will never involve a tough battle. My personal guess is that it is just a matter of rushing on the road and integrating the Anhui army along the way. It's easy
Very good. At the same time, we have to re-establish the structure of the fifth platoon of the forward selection team. I will continue to serve as the platoon leader and let Zhou Qing take over from He Li's second shed leader, Zhou Baocai and Xu Pengzu. You two have no objections."
Zhou Baocai and Xu Pengzu hurriedly expressed their stance: "Brother Zhou Qing and I have fought through life and death, and we support it with our hands raised."
Han Baihang said with satisfaction: "This is the best. There are not many old brothers in the fifth platoon. I think everyone will be promoted to one level and become the deputy director of each shed."
At this time, the other soldiers were also very happy. Although the deputy commander was not a high-ranking official, he still had a long character. From then on, he said goodbye to his status as a second-class soldier, and he would receive an extra piece of ocean in military pay.
With energy, everyone hurried on. After walking for half the night, they finally arrived at the location of the third battalion. Under the guidance of guard Zhou Dongliang, Han Baihang went to the battalion headquarters to report, and was immediately led by a deputy battalion commander named Zhu Yulong to take up the post.
After the men of the first company were assembled, Han Baihang was secretly surprised. The number of people in this company was too small. There were only about forty people in total. Everyone was covered in blood. Some people were carried here on stretchers. It seemed that they had survived a fierce battle.
, the situation of the troops is not optimistic.
After the soldiers of the first company assembled, Deputy Battalion Commander Zhu read out the battalion headquarters' appointment to Han Baihang, told the soldiers to obey the command of Company Commander Han, and then hurried away, leaving Han Baihang and the soldiers staring with big eyes.
The eyes of the officers and soldiers of the first company were very cold. They were all thinking that Han Baihang, the young and excessive company commander, must have come to reap the rewards for his achievements. When fighting a tough battle to the death, no one was seen. After the battle was over, the old company commander came to take over the plate before his bones were cold.
How can there be such a good thing in the world? I can't help but feel the same hatred and resistance in my heart.
Han Baihang noticed the hostility in the eyes of the officers and soldiers, and was suddenly surprised. He felt that he had just arrived and had not done anything offensive. Based on his previous experience of leading the fifth platoon, he thought that he might have blocked some people from the company again.
The old platoon leader's opportunity to be promoted to company commander was specifically asked about this issue when he was at the battalion headquarters. Battalion Commander He Yunwei affirmed that the platoon commanders in the company absolutely supported his command, but what exactly was the problem? I couldn't help but
It was very troublesome for him. Speaking of which, he still had too little experience in leading troops. He had only been serving as platoon commander for less than a week, let alone being directly promoted to company commander. Naturally, he lacked the ability to control the troops.
Since he couldn't figure out the reason, Han Baihang couldn't be stupid enough to ask the soldiers present why they were hostile to him. After all, he came to take office with a manpower, so he naturally had ways to support himself. He rolled his eyes and secretly told Zhou
Qing winked. It must be said that this monk was very clever and could guess his thoughts. He led a few soldiers to move a square table and set it up in front of the troops.
Han Baihang suddenly jumped on the square table, with his left hand on his waist and his right hand behind his back. He glanced at the officers and soldiers with piercing eyes and said sternly: "I am Han Baihang. From today on, I will be the acting commander of the first company. During my period of acting,
I hope everyone can obey my command and obey my orders!"
