After saying this, Han Baihang paused and said: "I heard from Deputy Commander Zhou before I came here that our Sixth Brigade fought several tough battles with the Anhui Army. The company rushed to the front and never complained or complained about pain. Company Commander
He was killed in action. The deputy company commander led everyone to continue the charge and broke through the first division's defense line at a huge cost of casualties. It can be said that he took the greatest credit. No one can give a thumbs up after hearing this. I, Han Baihang, want to salute you all here.
If nothing else, I am honored and proud to be the company commander of this heroic unit."
As he spoke, Han Baihang straightened his chest and gave a powerful military salute, which lasted for a long time before letting go. He was deliberately flattering the First Company, what a heroic unit, and feeling honored. These were all lies. His real intention was to eliminate the officers and soldiers of the First Company.
Hostility, after all, reach out to avoid hitting the smiling man. These words really had an effect, and the hostility in the eyes of the officers and soldiers of the company was slightly reduced.
Han Baihang continued: "When I came to serve as the commander of the first company, I was actually under tremendous pressure. Whether I can become a qualified company commander in everyone's mind may be a question mark now, but please give me some time to test it, brothers.
, I think there is no problem at all. Before that, I might as well introduce myself so that everyone can have a simple understanding. I am from Shanxi. I joined the army in Zheng County two months ago. I only know some fists and feet and am proficient in writing.
, was appointed by the commander as the commander of the supplementary brigade. Later, when the troops moved to Baoding, he was promoted by the commander to the platoon leader of the fifth platoon of the Selected Front Team. He did not fight many bloody battles during his tenure, but he had better luck. Blind
The cat met the dead mouse, so he asked me to seize the West Route Army Headquarters of the Anhui Army and capture fourteen senior officers including Duan Zhigui. Therefore, the superior officer promoted me to the commander of the first company."
After finishing this introduction, Han Baihang smiled humbly and looked like he was not worth mentioning. However, the officers and soldiers of the first company heard that it caused an uproar. They looked at him with completely different eyes. The army is a place that emphasizes ability.
The reason why the first company is difficult to lead is because this unit is brave and good at fighting and has repeatedly made military exploits. It is difficult for an incompetent commander to convince the crowd. This is also the reason why Zhou Dong’s conscience spurred Han Baihang to come over. Only his illustrious combat capabilities can restrain the first company.
Proud generals, the enemy headquarters is not a shabby shop on the street. People can come and leave when they want. That is much more dangerous than the dragon's den and the tiger's den. Han Baihang can lead people to capture the enemy's headquarters and capture Beiyang.
There is one general and thirteen other generals and officers. This is the first time for such achievements in the Zhili Army. The officers and soldiers in the company were surprised by this. They couldn't believe that the ordinary Han Baihang in front of them was such a fierce man.
Instinctively, everyone was commotion, their eyes widened, and they started talking.
Han Baihang and other officers and soldiers had passed the commotion, waved their arms, and said sternly: "Everyone be quiet, if you don't believe my words, you should believe what Deputy Commander Zhou said. The brother next to me is Deputy Commander Zhou's
Guard, if what I said is true, you will know if you ask him."
The officers and soldiers asked the guard variously. The guard had witnessed the scene of Duan Zhigui being captured in the train. He nodded quickly and said, "Everything Captain Han said is true. I can testify to that."
"Wow!"
The officers and soldiers immediately clapped their hands and cheered. Who among the soldiers wouldn't hope that their commander would be a capable person? The hostility just now disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by heartfelt support.
Han Baihang stood on the flat table and enjoyed the applause. After a while, he pressed his palms down and said with a smile: "From the applause, I heard everyone's thoughts. Let's not talk about gossip. Let's talk about business.
The situation is not optimistic. I made a rough count and found that there is only one platoon in the whole company. Our first task is to revive the first company. We can't count on new recruits. The only way is to use prisoners to replenish the troops. Now Liuli
There are 50,000 to 60,000 Anhui troops along the river. We have to advance quickly. It is best to get ahead of our brothers' troops and use prisoners to regain our strength before advancing towards Beijing. I won't bother with any captures on the way."
What soldiers like most is the last sentence. Once something is seized, they will not interfere. This is a clear way to stimulate the morale of the soldiers with heavy profits. The officers and soldiers of the company cheered loudly and couldn't wait to fight and make a fortune. Han Baihang did not agree immediately. The main force
The troops were marching but the battalions were connected. How could his company dare to march alone? What he wanted was to wait until the large troops arrived near Liulician and launch a general attack on the Anhui army, so that he could take advantage of the chaos and break away from the large troops and go it alone.
Next, he took the initiative to walk around among the officers and soldiers, roughly memorizing the names of the platoon leader and the shed leader, so as to prepare for the convenience of commanding in the future.
Not waiting for more than ten minutes, the camp's assembly horn sounded, and Han Baihang hurriedly led his troops to assemble. After the entire battalion arrived at the assembly point, they moved closer to the regiment headquarters. This took more than forty minutes, and then the majestic rally was completed.
March into the front line in three marching columns.
After marching for two hours, the troops arrived at Liulician. At this time, the Anhui army had begun to retreat. There was gunfire everywhere, and the artillery fire dyed half of the night sky red. Troops from the Zhili Army also arrived one after another. Although the soldiers were gearing up, they could not go up.
Feng never issued an order to attack, so everyone had to lie down in the mountains and forests to worry.
"Company commander, why haven't you issued an order to attack? All the Anhui troops have fled while we wait." Zhou Qing counted the bullets boredly, turning them over and over several times, and couldn't help but complain to Han Baihang.
Han Baihang lay on the grass with his eyes closed to rest. After hearing Zhou Qing's complaints, he shook his head slightly and said, "You think it's as simple as giving an order to attack the army. Let me tell you, there are many ways here. Now
There are 20,000 to 30,000 troops gathered at the front. These troops have to attack, coordinate the command, attack sequence, attack direction, and pursuit distance. Everything must be carefully planned, otherwise tens of thousands of troops will attack in a swarm, and Anhui will be destroyed without waiting.
If the army is defeated, we will be in chaos first."
Zhou Qing clicked his tongue and said, "My dear, when the plan is finalized, won't it be the year of the monkey and the month of the horse?"
Han Baihang said: "No, these matters are specially formulated by the staff office. After so many years of fighting, there should be established rules to follow, and the order to attack will not be entrusted for too long."
Zhou Qing suddenly realized it, gave a thumbs up and said: "Company Commander, you know so much, being a company commander is too unqualified."
Han Baihang snorted and said: "Stop flattering me, your eyes will be brightened later. You need to add more in a row, and you need to add more in the selection of the vanguard, especially in your shed. You need to select shrewd ones from the prisoners."
A strong soldier."
Zhou Qing scratched his head and said: "I can't see that he is smart and strong and can be a prisoner."
Han Baihang rolled his eyes and said, "Why did I find you, a fool, to be the shed director? If you can't do it, then I'll give up."
Zhou Qing chuckled and said, "Don't worry, company commander, I can do it."
"Don't talk nonsense when you can do it. This is a war. Be serious." Han Baihang usually liked to joke with him, but at that time there were only about 20 remnants of the fifth platoon, all brothers who had been through life and death.
It doesn't matter whether it's big or small, but now that it's a new unit, he, the company commander, must maintain his dignity.
Zhou Qing shrank his head: "Yes!"
While the two were talking, an orderly soldier trotted over from behind and shouted: "Where is Company Commander Han? The battalion commander invited him to go to the battalion headquarters for a meeting."
"knew."
Han Baihang jumped up, patted the dirt on his body, and said to Zhou Qing: "Order the troops to sort out their weapons and equipment and wait for my return."
The battalion headquarters was located in the mountain forest. A half-covered tent was placed on the slope, and the dim light of the lantern was exposed inside. Han Baihang opened the curtain and went in. He saw that several company commanders from the battalion had arrived. The battalion commander immediately announced to the regiment headquarters
He issued an attack order, explaining the attack direction and attack sequence of the third battalion, and finally emphasized: "Each company should stay in contact and pursue as far as Changxindian, and must not disturb the public order in Beijing."
Han Baihang pondered in his mind how to gain benefits if the troops were not allowed to enter Beijing. He returned to the troops with concern. After about a few minutes, suddenly three red flares pierced the night sky, and the roar of cannons shook the earth. Han Baihang
He raised his shell gun and shouted: "Brothers, charge at me!"
The soldiers rushed forward, and fierce gunshots resounded in Liulician.
