Five hundred and fiftieth chapters remnants defeated
At this time, there was a sudden noise from a shack not far away.
Then I saw several people walking out of the shack, and one of the soldiers was carrying a medicine box.
"Deputy Battalion Commander, how's Platoon Commander Yang doing?"
"Platoon Leader Yang is an expert at killing Japanese soldiers. He is a hero. He must not die!" Seven or eight soldiers with no clothes on their clothes immediately gathered at the entrance of the shack. Several people who came out of the shack rushed to ask, looking anxious.
The middle-aged man walking at the front frowned and said with worry: "The situation is very bad! The wound is inflamed, and we don't have anti-inflammatory medicine. The hygienist just helped clean the wound. Let's see if we can get through it.
Platoon Commander Yang himself!"
The hygienist next to me then showed a frustrated expression.
For him, if he failed to save the wounded and watched the wounded die in pain, it was all his own fault, and he had to take responsibility.
At this moment, the middle-aged man surrounded by the crowd suddenly saw him. He was stunned for a moment, and then a smile of surprise appeared on his face.
It is obvious that the other party knows and recognizes himself.
He strode towards me, saluted, and reported: "Captain Wang, why are you here!"
"You know me!" Wang Ping asked, staring at the other person.
"Zhong Chenggong, deputy commander of the first battalion of the new regiment, I met you once with the regimental commander! Captain Wang, why are you here!" Zhong Chenggong answered immediately, and then stared at Wang Ping and continued to ask.
"It's good to know each other, it will save you a lot of trouble! This is an appointment document from the headquarters, take a look at it first!" After saying that, Wang Ping took out a document with body temperature on it from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Chenggong.
After reading the document, Zhong Chenggong's face became serious.
"Reporting to the commander, Zhong Chenggong, deputy commander of the first battalion of the new regiment, reports to you!" After finishing speaking, Zhong Chenggong introduced to the more and more soldiers gathered around him.
"Comrades, this is Commander Wang who has just been sent by the headquarters. He is the leader of our new regiment. Welcome everyone!"
What made Zhong Chenggong embarrassed was that after he finished speaking, there were only a few sparse applause from the side.
Zhong Chenggong quickly explained: "Captain, comrades have not had a full meal for a long time, and they have no strength. Moreover, they just lost the battle some time ago and their morale is low. Don't blame them!"
Wang Ping quickly waved his hand and said: "No problem, you can introduce the situation to me first!"
Although he said it was nothing, Wang Ping knew better than anyone else in his heart. The reason why everyone did not welcome him was partly because of low morale, but also for a very important reason, that he was not recognized by everyone.
Unless you can win a few military exploits that convince everyone in a short period of time, they will never welcome you.
Then he introduced: "Captain, there are 259 cadres and soldiers left in the new regiment, including 43 wounded, and 11 of the wounded are seriously injured. Just now everyone said that Platoon Leader Wang is the seriously injured. Because the wound is inflamed,
Without anti-inflammatories, I probably wouldn’t be able to survive five days!”
"We have been hiding here for more than ten days, and six seriously injured people have died because there was no medical treatment!"
"In other words, our new regiment only has more than 210 combat troops left!" Wang Ping stared at Zhong Chenggong and asked.
"Yes, Commander! There are more than 210 people out there with only me as a deputy battalion commander, three company commanders, three instructors, eight platoon leaders, and more than twenty squad leaders!" Zhong Chenggong affirmed.
Then he continued to introduce: "Although there are more than 200 people, the equipment is very poor!"
"Because the material warehouse was bombed when the regiment headquarters was attacked, and the Japanese special forces were chasing them all the way. There were 156 rifles left in the regiment, three light machine guns, and very few bullets. The rifles could only average one shot.
The gun has five bullets, the light machine gun has five bullets on average, and the grenade is better, it can average two per person!"
"The other thing is food. The whole group only has less than two hundred kilograms of food left. If we eat it dry, it won't be enough for two meals."
"In order to last longer, we can only eat porridge and wild vegetables!"
"The wounded eat millet porridge, we eat wild vegetables, and we also eat porridge for dinner. But even so, with less than 200 kilograms of food left, we can only last for three or four days!"
"What's left is medicine, and almost all of it has been used up. Now dozens of wounded are being maintained with herbal medicine, and more and more wounded are starting to become inflamed!"
"The situation is much worse than what was reported by the brigade headquarters. Deputy Battalion Commander Zhong, you have worked hard. It is not easy to carry these people until now!" Wang Ping said with emotion.
Then he decided: "As the commander of the new regiment, I now officially appoint you as the commander of the first battalion of the new regiment. I will give you one day to compress the more than 200 people in the regiment who can immediately go into battle into three
For infantry companies that are not at full strength, each infantry company must first ensure that two platoons are full strength."
"Forget it at noon. When we make millet porridge in the evening, let the cooking team put in twice as much millet. In the afternoon, I will take a few people into the mountains to try to bring back some prey so that they can eat something good and regain their strength!"
"Also, we can't stay in this place any longer. The environment is too bad, which is not conducive to the recovery of the wounded. Moreover, staying here is too inaccessible. We have to go out of the mountains before we can find a chance to find a fighter and turn defeat into victory!"
"Hunting!" Zhong Chenggong reminded with a frown.
"Captain, when I first entered the mountain, I also thought about hunting. But because there were too few bullets and because I was afraid that the sound of gunfire would attract the Japanese patrol troops, all the soldiers who entered the mountain returned without success. And even if I could get one or two
Pheasants and hares mean nothing to the group of more than 200 people!"
Wang Ping replied confidently: "Don't worry about this!"
"Don't forget what I used to do. I will definitely bring you prey at night!"
Wang Ping was right. At five o'clock in the afternoon, when Wang Ping returned to the temporary station, every soldier behind him was carrying a lot of prey on his shoulders, and among them was a small wild boar weighing 70 to 80 pounds.
After a dinner, which was the only meat meal since the new regiment entered the mountains, a touch of rosy color finally appeared on the confused and pale faces of the soldiers. Everyone called Wang Ping back to the group leader when they passed by.
Of course, the word "leader" does not mean that everyone has recognized him, but it is out of politeness and military discipline.
If you want to truly be recognized by everyone, you must have military exploits. And with military exploits, leading everyone to win the battle, the low morale of the troops will be restored and they will be full of fighting spirit again, just like a chain reaction.
The key to inducing this chain reaction is to win the battle and lead everyone to win the battle.
At dawn the next day, Wang Ping took the new group with very little belongings and started to move out of the mountain!
