Zhang Yu saw Li Hao's careful thoughts at a glance and immediately comforted him: "Haozi, don't worry. The Battle of Pingxingguan made our Eighth Route Army famous. As long as we start recruiting troops, the people nearby will definitely rush to join us. I will give priority to supplement them then."
There are four rows, so it won’t take long to fill up the four rows!”
Li Hao looked embarrassed and replied: "Company commander, I believe you!"
Then the conversation changed and he continued to ask: "What about the equipment? How to deal with the equipment of the fourth row? It can't be just relying on the guns of the guard squad, right?"
Now it was Zhang Yu's turn to feel embarrassed and hesitated for a long time before answering.
"We seized a lot of equipment during the battle at Pingxingguan, including hundreds of 38 pieces of equipment!"
"However, our own equipment was also severely damaged on the battlefield, and after replenishing the losses, there was basically not much left. Because the Eighth Company suffered heavy casualties, the regiment headquarters gave us ten 38-guns and 200 rounds of ammunition. I have not a single gun here.
If I don’t leave everything for you, no more will be left!”
No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still flesh. It has very few mosquitoes and even fewer bullets, but it is still better than nothing.
A flash of disappointment flashed across Li Hao's face and he quickly answered, fearing that someone else would snatch him away!
"Company Commander, I want the gun and bullets. Wherever they are, I'll ask someone to get them now!"
Zhang Yu affirmed: "Don't worry, it's at the company headquarters and no one can take it away. You can take it back after the meeting."
This sentence made the atmosphere in the conference room much more relaxed, but it only lasted a few seconds and then disappeared.
The instructor suddenly said: "In addition to forming the fourth platoon and promoting Li Hao to the platoon leader, we have another important matter to discuss today!"
"The total number of lightly and seriously injured persons in the whole company is 34. Excluding the lightly injured persons, there are 15 seriously injured persons who have to stay in bed and on stretchers."
"Scattering the severely wounded to various platoons will not only be detrimental to their recovery, but will also have a huge impact on the marching operations of the main force. In order to solve this problem, the company commander and I discussed and decided to manage these severely wounded in a unified manner!"
"Comrade Li Hao!"
"Here we come!" Li Hao quickly stood up, a bad premonition subconsciously popping up in his mind.
The instructor didn't give him time to think, and then asked: "If I remember correctly, you were in charge of the wounded when you were in the recruit company of the 37th Regiment, protecting them and ensuring their nutrition!"
The bad premonition in Li Hao's mind became even stronger, and he had already thought of what the instructor had not yet said.
He quickly shook his head and said in denial: "Instructor, you must have remembered it wrong!"
"I was serving as the platoon leader in the guard platoon of the 37th Regiment's recruit company. I was only responsible for protecting the wounded, but not for their feeding and recuperation!"
Zhang Yu spoke, first glared at Li Hao, and then said.
"Haozi, you are just too smart, you can figure out everything at once!"
"You must have guessed what the instructor was going to say next, and then you hurriedly denied it. To tell you the truth, you guessed well!"
"The instructor and I discussed and decided to hand over all the seriously injured soldiers to you. Your fourth platoon will be responsible for protecting them, ensuring their usual nutrition, and allowing them to regain their combat effectiveness as soon as possible so that they can return to the team!"
"You know the reason even if I don't tell you. You are more experienced and more capable than anyone else!"
The premonition became reality. Although the company commander said firmly, Li Hao still planned to refuse.
Protecting the seriously wounded and trying to find ways to get them food every day is too frustrating for a militant.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhang Yu took the initiative and blocked his words: "I know you want to go to the battlefield to fight the Japanese, but you don't want to accept this mission."
"Now I tell you very seriously, this matter is settled, and it is useless for you to refuse!"
"Don't even think about it. The fourth platoon has just been formed. Even if you add new recruits, you won't be able to form combat effectiveness in a short time. In this case, it's better to stay at the station and take care of the seriously injured while training the troops, killing two birds with one stone!"
"When the wounded recover and return to the team, and the new recruits are trained, it won't be too late to go to the battlefield by then!"
The good mood brought about by Li Hao's promotion to platoon leader is now completely gone.
Take care of the wounded, train the troops, and the company commander talks nicely.
To put it bluntly, he is responsible for the safety, food and drink of the wounded, which is no different from when he was in the cooking class.
I finally left the cooking class, left the recruit unit and arrived at the main force. Now I have made a big circle and returned to the starting point. I am still responsible for the food and drink of the troops, but this time the targets are the seriously injured, and I have an additional task of protecting them.
As for the training troops mentioned by the company commander, these are all false.
If the new recruits are not in place for a day, they will not be able to train for a day.
And now it is different from before. If there is no food or meat, anyone can just find a landlord and bully to rob it.
Now that we have the constraints of the united front, unless we encounter imps or traitors, there is no place to rob.
This means that even if the recruits in the fourth platoon are in place, they will still have to spend a lot of time every day to get nutrition and food for the seriously injured!
But an order is an order, and even though I was unwilling to do so, I could only bite the bullet and answer: "Please rest assured, company commander and instructor, the fourth platoon will ensure the completion of the mission!"
"I also have a request!"
"Say!" Zhang Yu's serious face showed a smile at that time.
For the Eighth Company, a dozen seriously wounded soldiers are a dozen veterans, and they may even become a dozen squad leaders or even platoon leaders in the future!
After solving their problem, he felt that the pressure on his shoulders suddenly became lighter.
Li Hao frowned and thought for a few seconds before replying: "There are too few people in the fourth platoon, and there are not enough people to carry the wounded. The company headquarters must give us a new batch of recruits as soon as possible, and at least ensure that there are two recruits watching for each seriously injured person!"
"
"No problem!" Zhang Yu answered without thinking.
"The regiment headquarters has issued an order for us to seize the enthusiasm of the people and recruit troops locally. We are responsible for the three surrounding villages, and we will definitely be able to recruit at least thirty recruits for you!"
"I have one more request!" Li Hao hesitated and continued.
Zhang Yu worked hard for these seriously injured people, and answered decisively: "Say, as long as it doesn't violate discipline, I can do it, I definitely agree!"
"But you must also make sure to take good care of these seriously injured people and let them return to the team as soon as possible!"
Li Hao immediately said: "To ensure the nutrition of the seriously wounded, we need food, meat, and medicine, so our fourth platoon will definitely take some actions, but we will definitely not violate discipline. Please rest assured, company commander!"
His idea is very simple. Since he has relapsed into the old business and cannot change it, he needs some power to make smart decisions, and maybe he can fight against the little devil.
There is no problem in fighting the Japanese, training the troops, and tending to the seriously wounded without any delay.
Zhang Yu didn't think much and answered subconsciously.
"Don't worry, I will turn a blind eye next time. Don't you just have itchy hands and want to go out and fight the Japanese? I agree, but the safety of the wounded must be guaranteed!"
