“When the signal corps was electrifying the whole army and cleaning the battlefield, Lu Sanjiang, a sergeant in the cavalry battalion of the advance regiment, wielded a knife and violated orders and military discipline.
The special punishments of the advance regiment headquarters are as follows: Sergeant Lu Sanjiang, his military rank will be reduced one level to a first-class private. His position as squad leader will be retained for the time being to see the consequences. He will be whipped with twenty horse whips on his bare back! He will be fined for six months!
Gong Shaoxun, the major of the cavalry battalion and the commander of the cavalry battalion, was not strict with his subordinates. In view of his taking the initiative to accept the punishment, he was punished with ten horse whips and a fine of three months!"
Even though the rest of the company and platoon officers directly under the command were not present at the scene, they were all guilty of lax management and were punished with five horse whips!
Lieutenant Colonel Tang Dao of the Advance Regiment Headquarters, who was not strict with his subordinates, was punished with the same crime as the commander of the cavalry battalion, and was punished with ten horse whips and a fine of six months!
Execute it immediately!" Tang Dao ordered in a cold roar.
Then, in front of the stunned people, he also untied his belt and took off his upper body military uniform, revealing a body of strong bronze muscles. The various scars on his chest and back left on the Songhu battlefield were shocking.
What shocked everyone was naturally not the scars that crisscrossed the body of Tang Da battalion commander. Tang Dao's record of leading a thousand troops in the Battle of Songjiang to withstand thousands of Japanese invaders for a day and night in Cangcheng was obvious to all. He was not only a
An excellent commander is a super soldier, and the scars on his body are the most glorious medal of a soldier.
What surprised them was not that all the officers of the cavalry battalion were included in the punishment list. The cavalry battalion commander took the initiative to accept the punishment. It would be strange if the company commander and platoon commander did not follow suit. But as the highest commander of the advance regiment,
Tang Dao was also punished, which is a rare precedent in the military.
You must know that there are three thousand people in the advance regiment. If a soldier makes a mistake, the highest officer will be implicated, not to mention losing his head. Even this kind of whip can kill Commander Tang!
Sir Tang, what are you doing! Digging a hole to bury yourself!
"Also, let me add one more thing. The advance regiment is a temporarily formed new army. This is a precedent, and it is not the same for my subordinates. Anyone who violates military orders again will do so in accordance with wartime military laws!" Tang Dao ordered coldly.
He glanced at Erya and Xia Dayu, who were a little dazed, and shouted softly: "Why don't you go and inform all the battalions and companies in the army?"
“Yes!” The two signal soldiers hurriedly ran away.
“Niu Er, Yang Xiaoshan, Li Jiujin, what are you three doing? You are responsible for the execution!”
The three of them looked at each other and could only go to the group of cavalry with a grimace.
For no other reason than to have a whip, which only the cavalry have.
The soldiers could only continue to be in a daze, watching their supreme commander and a cavalry major being whipped with horse whips, leaving shocking blood marks all over their backs.
Flogging soldiers is not new to a group of infantrymen who came from the old army, but this is definitely the first time that the supreme commander has been ordered to be whipped in public.
Looking at the horse whip leaving deep blood marks on the broad and thick back without any fancy, the soldiers who were in a daze had something different in their eyes.
It’s not tears or eye droppings.
It’s respect!
No matter what the commander’s intentions were, as long as he was willing to be punished with ten lashes because of his soldiers’ mistakes, he was an officer worthy of respect.
He did not stand behind his soldiers, but with them.
Perhaps, only Lu Sanjiang is very proud. When bragging to others in the future, standing side by side with two school officials and being whipped will always be his advantage.
Don’t tell me, not many people have had this experience. It’s like a scorpion pooping---it’s the only one.
"You too, you gave yourself such a stupid order and chose a fool to whip you." Tantai Mingyue scolded Tang Dao like this when she was applying medicine to Tang Dao in distress.
Tang Dao bared his teeth and grinned, trying to suck in the cold air.
Niu Er standing next to him had an aggrieved look on his face. He wanted to hold back his hand for a little while, but when he was whipped for the first time and was glared at by the commander, he could not count the whipping. How could he have the guts to hold back again? What if?
The officer was angry and sent him there to be whipped. Where could he cry?
Besides, there were so many people watching at the scene! It was just the commander acting, and he would embarrass the commander.
You can't just bite your teeth and close your eyes and just keep pumping it out without caring about it!
It was not until that moment that Niu Er reacted. No wonder platoon leader Li Da and Yang Xiaoshan took the initiative to stand behind the two cavalrymen, leaving the commander alone to him.
Honestly, those two would have known that Tantai reporters would definitely curse! Well, I am such a fool!
A recruit from the Sixing Battalion who has gradually grown into a sniper said that people's hearts are too complicated and they have to learn.
There is no pure land in this world, and the human heart is the most complicated thing in the world. The soldiers of the advance regiment were hunted down by the Japanese invaders in the sky and on the ground. In fact, it was very simple. If you zoom in to the entire Songhu War Zone or even the entire China, it is estimated that
The new sniper will immediately say: People's hearts are really complicated, I want to go back to the countryside.
Actually, rural roads are also slippery.
Who hasn’t been careful? Didn’t Tang Dao also play a little trick in order to make military orders smoother?
However, those ten lashes were not in vain, they were very effective.
The announcement that Lu Sanjiang had violated orders and resulted in the punishment of officers at all levels, including Tang Dao, the highest commander, spread throughout the army. Officers at all levels were worried and ordered their subordinates strictly.
"Te Liang, who dares to disobey military orders like that idiot cavalryman? I won't get whipped to help him save his head. If the law enforcement team wants to chop him off, let him chop off the head of the bastard who dares to disobey the order." 107
The extremely straightforward announcement by the Major and Commander of the Division Guard Battalion basically represented the thoughts of all ministers.
Deputy Director Tang was so ruthless that he didn't even spare himself. Who are they, major battalion commanders? If not, next time it would be 30 lashes, which would really kill someone.
Of course, the 20 lashes Lu Sanjiang received were not in vain.
Before Tang Dao left, he stared at the war horse lying on the ground in a pool of blood. He was silent for a long time, and finally whispered: "This fierce horse has outstanding military achievements, and it is specially allowed not to be included in the military rations!"
Then, just leave.
Lu Sanjiang, whose back was covered with whip marks, stood stunned for a moment, crying with joy.
He finally saved his comrade-in-arms, the old squad leader, otherwise, he was afraid that the old squad leader would point his nose at him and scold him at night.
Although, he wished that that person could still appear in front of him like before, even if he was scolding him!
The "big man" was carried by a group of cavalry and buried with the veterans on the top of a hill.
That was what Lu Sanjiang requested. He hoped that his squad leader and his horse could climb up here and have a distant view.
If one day, the war with the Japanese is won, they will immediately see the figure of Lu Sanjiang running towards here.
If he, Lu Sanjiang, also died in the battle, then he would also come to this hill to gather with them, climb high together and watch the Chinese army return here.
After the war, this small hill was called Liemaqiu by the locals.
Decades later, a statue of an armless soldier sitting on a war horse with his front hooves raised and trying to move forward was completed in Liemaqiu. His face looked resolutely into the distance.
Several gray-haired old men stood in front of the statue, crying like children.
They have lived up to their comrades in arms and are now safe and sound!
You can see the heroic souls of our comrades!
