At the headquarters of the 37th Regiment, more than a dozen company and battalion commanders crowded into the small headquarters, all with their heads lowered and silent, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
The chief of staff has just informed everyone of the casualties of the troops in the past two days.
It was very large. It can be said to be the battle with the highest casualties since the establishment of the Thirty-seventh Regiment.
279 people were directly killed, 57 were seriously injured, and more than 150 were slightly injured, more than half of them were killed!
There are ten companies in total including the whole regiment and the guard company. So far, the infantry company with the smallest casualties has only more than 60 people left in the battle.
The casualties were larger, such as the second company and the fifth company, with only twenty or thirty people left.
"Don't be silent. Our superiors have ordered us to evacuate our positions in three hours and rush to the ferry to continue blocking. We will cross the river again after we successfully cover the main force's crossing!" The regimental leader's sullen face broke the growing depression of the headquarters.
atmosphere of.
"Those seriously injured soldiers who cannot return to the team even if they recover must be kept on the spot and placed in ordinary people's homes. There is no doubt about this!"
"My idea is to follow our previous resettlement plan, find a more secluded village to resettle them, and give fifty yuan to each seriously injured person left behind!"
"The biggest problem now is those seriously injured people who can return to the team and continue fighting after recovery, and the lightly injured people who can't leave for the time being! The chief of staff has already made a count, there are sixty-five people in total, and there are them in each company!"
"Whether these people stay or are taken away must be determined immediately!"
"Time is limited, don't be bored by me, speak out your thoughts one by one, and discuss and come up with a result as soon as possible."
"They must be taken away!" the fifth company commander who suffered the most casualties blurted out!
"The Fifth Company accounts for nine of the sixty-five people. If all nine people return to the team, the Fifth Company will have one more squad of troops!"
"These people are veterans who have experienced life and death and crawled out of the sea of blood and fire corpses. They have very strong fighting capabilities."
"If the army has the opportunity to add some new recruits in the future, these people will be the seeds for the fifth company to restore its combat effectiveness."
"Even if one person only brings two recruits, the fifth company can have an extra platoon of troops!"
"If the regiment headquarters can't spare the manpower to carry them, our Fifth Company will send men to carry them ourselves. Even if we risk our lives, we must carry them and not let them fall behind!"
The second battalion commander, the commander, followed closely and added.
"I agree with Captain Li. Even if two companies are specially set up to take care of them, we can't keep them anymore!"
"Captain, you don't know, there is a saying in the army that we would rather be killed by the enemy than injured on the battlefield."
"After being sent off the battlefield, several seriously wounded soldiers not only refused to receive medical treatment, but also chose to commit suicide!"
"They all know that once they are injured and cannot keep up with the team, they will be left here by the army to be resettled on the spot!"
"Behind us are the main force of Bai Gouzi and the Qingxiang Regiment who do all kinds of evil. As long as we stay, there is a 80% chance that we will not survive, and we will be captured and tortured by Bai Gouzi!"
"Soldiers are not afraid of sacrifice, but they are afraid that the troops will leave them here!"
"I'm injured and can't move. If I encounter Bai Gouzi, I don't even have the ability to fight back. I can only let Bai Gouzi torture me!"
"I think we must not let this idea continue to spread in the hearts of the soldiers, and we must not let the soldiers feel chilled!"
"Over time, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the troops!"
"You're right, we must carry them away!" As soon as the commander of the second battalion finished speaking, he was echoed by many battalion and company commanders.
They also had the same confusion and worries as the first battalion commander.
The regiment leader had a sullen face and said nothing, and the chief of staff next to him couldn't help it.
"Like you, I also want to march with them and don't want to give up any of them, but have you ever thought about the current situation of our Thirty-seventh Regiment!"
"Excluding the wounded, there are less than 500 intact soldiers in the entire regiment!"
"Sixty-five wounded who need to be carried on stretchers before marching, plus the severely wounded already in the regiment, add up to eighty people and eighty stretchers."
"Two soldiers are required to carry a stretcher, so we need to spare one hundred and sixty soldiers to take care of them!"
"If one stretcher is equipped with three soldiers, that's 240 people, which is equivalent to half of the entire regiment's combat effectiveness being lost!"
"What will the troops do if they encounter Bai Gouzi on the way!"
"Not only will the wounded not survive by then, but the entire regiment may also be implicated!"
The second battalion commander replied bravely: "I reserve my opinion!"
"No matter what, I object to leaving these wounded behind. It means letting them die. Too many times will chill the remaining soldiers in the regiment!"
"Don't you want to argue?" The silent leader finally spoke.
"Political Commissar, what are the specific conditions of the wounded, including the dozen or so wounded already at the regiment headquarters!"
The political commissar replied with a serious face: "Half of the 42 wounded will be able to recover within ten days to half a month and be able to walk and march."
"But there is a condition. The group must ensure their nutrition!"
"We don't have many medicines. Many soldiers use traditional Chinese medicine for their wounds, which is slow to take effect. They must be given adequate nutrition so that they can recover as soon as possible!"
"As long as nutrition is ensured, other injured people can recover within a month as long as no accidents occur!"
The group leader frowned and thought for a long time before finally making a decision: "Then take them all with you!"
Then he stared at the commander of the first battalion and asked: "How many people are left in the first battalion now?"
"There are still 111 people who are intact, and there are 28 lightly wounded people who can keep up with the team!" the battalion commander blurted out without thinking!
The regiment leader did not speak, but turned to the political commissar and continued to ask: "How many people can the regiment headquarters draw out while ensuring normal operations?"
"Fifteen!" the political commissar hesitated for a few seconds before answering.
The regiment leader finally stopped hesitating and ordered very decisively: "Send them all to the 1st Battalion, and take another platoon from the guard company to reinforce the 1st Battalion!"
"All the seriously wounded in the entire regiment, including the lightly wounded in each company, were also sent to the first battalion!"
"From now on, each battalion has one mission, to ensure that all lightly and seriously injured people follow the team and ensure their safety!"
"The other two battalions, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, will draw down the troops based on the actual strength of each company, ensuring that each squad has ten people!"
"The company is reduced into a platoon, and the company commander becomes the platoon commander!"
"For all the lightly and seriously wounded soldiers left in the first battalion, one will recover and one will return to the team to ensure the combat effectiveness of the combat unit!"
"Please rest assured, Commander, the 1st Battalion promises to complete the mission and not give up every seriously injured person!" The 1st Battalion Commander was very reluctant. The main force was used as a transport team, and anyone who encountered it would be unhappy. But the Commander stared at it,
No matter how reluctant I was, I could only force a smile and answer with a serious face.
The captain nodded and turned his attention to the second company commander in surprise.
"Zhang Yu, in addition to protecting and transporting all the lightly and seriously wounded, your second company also has another task, which is to ensure the nutrition of all the lightly and seriously wounded!"
"You have heard what the political commissar just said. We have no solution for the time being with medicines. We can only strengthen nutrition to help the wounded recover as soon as possible!"
"I'll leave this task to you. In the past few days, your second company has been the best in the whole group!"
"I have another suggestion. Although your subordinate Haozi is just a baby cook, he depends on him for the nutrition of so many seriously injured soldiers in the whole regiment. Therefore, Haozi is very important to our Thirty-seventh Regiment."
"I suggest appointing him as the deputy squad leader of the cooking squad to assist the old squad leader in taking care of meals for the wounded and providing nutritional supplements to the troops."
"In addition, a few people from the other two cooking classes in the first battalion will be selected for them, and two or three people will be specially selected for Haozi to assist Haozi in providing nutritional products."
"Last and most important, there must be a dedicated guard among these people to protect Haozi's safety!"
