At the independent battalion headquarters in Hongquan Village, at six o'clock in the evening, battalion commander Li Hao, instructor Wang Hong, and deputy battalion commander Hong Linfeng, who was already able to go to the field, gathered together as usual to discuss their day's progress.
Because Hong Linfeng was injured, he stayed at the headquarters and was the first to speak.
"Battal Commander, today we received 1,110 new soldiers and more than 60,000 kilograms of grain from the Independent Company, as well as gold and silver worth 1,500 oceans!"
"Zhao Wen also reported that the independent company has taken control of seven villages and has now turned from defense to offense. We must seize the time to replenish and train the troops!"
"All the weapons and ammunition captured on the battlefield were given to the guerrillas in each village. In addition, they retained thirty more recruits to form a recruit platoon. The instructor also serves as the platoon leader. I hope the battalion headquarters will approve it!"
"In addition, because there are too few veterans in the independent company and cannot spare manpower to support the guerrillas in each village, the battalion headquarters is asked to send people to support these guerrillas. Each guerrilla must have at least one veteran to command and train them, as well as the team they are about to establish.
The district team, as a local garrison off-duty unit, can be solved by an independent company with equipment, but the selection of commanders also requires the support of the battalion headquarters."
Li Hao thought for a while and affirmed: "There is no problem in giving weapons and ammunition to the guerrillas. They are all old sleeves and made in Hanyang. They do not match the weapons and ammunition we use. It is useless to hand them over!"
"I also agree with the formation of recruit platoons, so that if each company suffers casualties in independent operations, they can replenish troops from their respective recruit platoons to ensure the combat effectiveness of the combat troops!"
"As for the commanders who form the guerrillas and district teams, that depends on the instructor!"
Wang Hong shook his head like a rattle and refused: "Batalion Commander, don't look at me, there's nothing I can do!"
"Although I am in charge of the health team, there are indeed many seriously injured people who can recover and return to the team. But they are all ready to return to the main force to serve as squad leaders or even platoon leaders. It is too unfair to ask them to lead guerrilla training!"
"Pa bang bang..."
As soon as the instructor finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Then Huang Weihua, the instructor of the guard company, rushed in: "Battal commander, instructor, something happened to the health team!"
"What's the matter?" Wang Hong stood up and stared at Huang Weihua and asked.
Huang Weihua quickly reported: "A seriously injured man woke up at noon today and saw that his left leg had been amputated. He was in a bad mood at the time and wanted to commit suicide. After being persuaded, his mood improved a lot. But he didn't expect that during dinner in the evening,
He smashed the rice bowl and then used the broken bowl to damage the wound, causing the wound to bleed profusely!"
"Fortunately, he was discovered in time and rescued."
"The doctor from the health team said that if he is discovered one minute later, he will lose too much blood and he will not be able to save him even if the King of Heaven comes here!"
Li Hao's brows immediately knitted together.
He thought of his experience when he first crossed over during the Long March.
On the battlefield, Red Army soldiers would rather die than be seriously injured.
Because it is impossible for the troops to march with seriously injured people, serious injuries mean that they will be left behind by the troops and eventually fall into the hands of the White Army, where life would be worse than death.
Not surprisingly, the seriously injured man who wanted to commit suicide must have had the same idea.
If his left leg is amputated, the combat troops will definitely not be able to return.
After leaving the army and losing his left leg, life would be worse than death. Maybe even eating would be a problem!
During the Long March, I was only a small squad leader, no higher than a platoon leader, and the troops were constantly on the move, so there was no way to solve this problem.
But things are different now. As long as nothing happens, the Independent Camp will always be rooted here in the future, and it will have a basis to rely on. It will be much easier to solve this problem!
Then he stared at Wang Hong and asked: "Instructor, how many wounded people are there in the health team? Even if they recover in the future, they will not be able to return to the team because of their disability!"
"After several big battles, there were more than fifty people in total!"
"The secret camp can share some of its responsibilities and let them help manage the prisoners for production. However, due to the limited number of prisoners, it can only share a dozen people. There are still nearly 40 soldiers who have no way to solve their problems. There are also several squad leaders with rich combat experience.
, there are even two platoon commanders!”
Li Hao's frown did not change. He stared at the instructor and continued to ask: "How do you plan to deal with these seriously injured people?"
The instructor replied helplessly: "Try to find ways to resettle them. If there is really no place to resettle them, we can only give them some money and let them go home on their own. At the same time, let the local government greet them more!"
"These people are all talented people, we cannot let them go home!" Li Hao shook his head and refused, speaking in a very firm tone.
"The war is in chaos. Many people are unable to feed themselves because of their disabilities. Letting them go home to fend for themselves is no different from killing them. Then our losses will be great!"
Wang Hong's face was also very solemn, and he sighed and replied: "But besides going home, we can't think of any other way!"
"I have a way!" Li Hao replied confidently!
"They joined our Eighth Route Army in order to fight the Japanese. Now they are disabled because of fighting the Japanese. We cannot ignore them!"
"Come on, follow me to the health team now. I want to see them!"
When Li Hao rushed to the health team, a doctor was doing ideological work on the soldiers who had just been rescued. There was also a soldier standing guard next to him to prevent accidents.
But it can be seen from the pale face and closed eyes of the seriously injured that the doctor's education has not had any effect!
"You go down first and I'll do the talking!" Li Hao walked to the bedside and said.
"Hello, battalion commander! Hello, instructor!" The doctor subconsciously stood up.
Hearing the word "battalion commander", the seriously injured soldier who had been keeping his eyes closed on the hospital bed opened his eyes!
"Comrade Peng Xiaojun! I just heard from comrades that you broke your job and wanted to commit suicide!" Li Hao asked bluntly.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Li Hao continued: "Do you know what kind of people would choose to commit suicide? I tell you, they are cowards... Only cowards dare not face reality!"
"I'm not a coward..." The seriously wounded man retorted weakly, resisting the pain caused by his wound.
"No, you are just a coward. Although you have been on the battlefield and fought against imps, that was before. You were a warrior on the battlefield, but here, you are just a coward!"
The seriously wounded man struggled to answer: "I am not a coward... My left leg was amputated. I am already a disabled person. Even if I am cured and leave the army, I will have to fend for myself and wait for death in the future. It is better to save some medicine and let me
If you die here, you can at least get the name of a martyr!"
There were more than a dozen seriously injured people living in the room, and several of them were in the same condition as him. They either had their legs amputated or broken, and they would definitely not be able to return to the army in the future.
After hearing these words, the faces of the wounded became gloomy, and there was no trace of life on their faces!
Li Hao spoke and continued to scold: "You said you are not a coward~ Isn't it just a broken leg? A single leg scares you so much that you want to commit suicide. Isn't this a coward?"
"Also, who told you that if you break a leg, you will be useless? Who told you that you are leaving the army, and who told you that you will have to fend for yourself in the future?"
Peng Xiaojun was dumbfounded by a series of rhetorical questions. Then he suddenly reacted, stared at Li Hao and asked: "Batalion Commander, you mean we don't have to leave the army?"
"But, I don't even have my legs. Isn't it a drag on everyone if I continue to stay in the army? Battalion Commander, please stop comforting me!"
The hope that had just been ignited on Peng Xiaojun's face disappeared again, and he became gloomy again!
Li Hao replied with a serious face: "Yes, you can't stay with the main force. However, in addition to the main force, our independent battalion also has logistics troops, local troops, and guerrillas... With so many troops, there is always room for you.
You can stay!”
After saying that, he turned his attention to the other seriously injured people!
"And you all, please take good care of your injuries and recover as soon as possible!"
"Whether you have an amputation or a broken leg, there are tasks waiting for you in our independent battalion to stay in the army and contribute to the army!"
"Everyone must remember that our independent battalion will never give up on a person. Even if his legs and hands are disabled, our independent battalion will still have the space to support him!"
Peng Xiaojun's gloomy face rekindled hope: "Batalion Commander, are you telling the truth? We can still stay in the army and contribute to the army without dragging down everyone!"
"I am the commander of the independent battalion, and I keep my word!" Li Hao replied with a serious look!
