When I returned to the station by jeep, it was already dark. I was so upset that night, and I drank some alcohol, so I was so tired that I slept in a daze in the car. When I returned to the station, I was woken up by the driver Xiao Zhao. When I opened my eyes, I felt like I was filled with lead and couldn't open it. Maybe alcohol was acting. I heard that the white wine had a lot of momentum, so I believed it at this time.

Although my mind was still sober, my body was no longer in control. Even if I tried my best, I would just open my eyelids to a crack. This was definitely not enough to let me see the way under my feet under my feet under my feet, so I hadn't taken a few steps before I lay down.

I don’t know if it was tripped by a branch or something. In short, I never remembered it again after lying down. I just felt two soldiers pushing me and calling the company commander a few times. I didn’t answer and continued to dream. At first, I could hear some messy sounds, but later I lost consciousness...

I don’t know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I found myself sleeping in the marching quilt in the company. When I woke up, I couldn’t help but curse. These guys regarded Vietnam’s daytime as night... The high temperature of more than 30 degrees in broad daylight actually covered me with a quilt to sleep. I was so drunk that I almost let them suffocate to death.

Isn't this? I'm already having a headache and sweating all over my body. Nothing can be done!

I got up and grabbed the kettle and it was a "Gulugulu" ox drink, and then I felt a little more comfortable. When I pressed the multi-function watch on my wrist, I saw that it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

I took out a towel and rubbed it on my body and face a few times, and suddenly my forehead hurts... Oh no, when did the color be hung? I had a bandage wrapped around my head, and I could feel the tightness of gauze bandage on my forehead above my right eye.

After thinking about it, I didn't know when I was injured. I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have fallen at the door when I came back last night... It wasn't that the matter was done at that time!

Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling embarrassed: I have never suffered any injuries since I started fighting against Vietnam. I didn't expect that this first time... I fell down and got a lottery, and I fell in front of all my subordinates and was unconscious! It seems that wine is really not a good thing...

I took the hat and put it on my head, barely covering the wound on my head, and walked out of the anti-cannon hole. A humid and hot air blew towards me, which made me feel a little bored. I couldn't help but curse this ghost place in my heart. I said that it was not too short for me to come to Vietnam, but I still couldn't adapt to the climate here.

Compared to this kind of humid and stuffy place that almost makes people crazy, I still prefer the ice and snowy life in North Korea, although the cold of dozens of degrees below zero often threatens people's lives.

"Hello battalion commander!"

"Hello battalion commander!"

...

As soon as I walked out of the anti-cannon hole, I pretended to be fine and walked in front of the soldiers. The soldiers also said hello to me as usual, but I noticed that everyone had a smile on their faces, and it seemed that the title had changed from company commander to battalion commander.

Unexpectedly, the news spread quite quickly. I just woke up after I woke up, and the soldiers all knew that I was already a battalion commander!

"I said battalion commander!" Shunzi came up and asked knowingly: "What kind of battle did you fight last night? It must be very intense. We have never seen you injured before. Now we finally saw it with our own eyes!"

With a "coax!", the soldiers could no longer laugh.

"Go and go..." My old face turned red, and my fingers lit them in the void: "I would like to warn you! Don't tell me what happened last night, otherwise I will never end up with you!"

"Oh..." The hometown people also joked: "Look at how humble our battalion commander is! We won't let us tell you if we have a lottery, and we don't want others to know... We should learn from the battalion commander this spirit of not being arrogant!"

The words of the people in my hometown once again attracted laughter from the soldiers.

Just when I felt a little embarrassed, the people from my hometown walked up and shook my hand, and said sincerely: "Congratulations, for becoming our battalion commander!"

"Congratulations to the battalion commander!"

"Congratulations to the battalion commander!"

...

The soldiers also came up to congratulate me one by one. Some of them shook hands with me, while others hugged me enthusiastically. I couldn't help but feel moved, and at the same time I realized one thing: whether it was the resistance to U.S. aggression and aid Korea or the counterattack against Vietnam, whether it was the elite soldiers with good quality or the new recruits who had never been on the battlefield... Although the people around me were different from the times, the feelings of such comrades who lived and died were the same as those trained on the battlefield!

"Battery Commander!" At this time, the deputy company commander reminded me from the side: "I almost forgot to tell you. Commander Zhang asked me to tell you. When I wake up, I will go to the regiment headquarters!"

"Um! OK!" I responded, shook hands with the soldiers, patted the shoulders, and walked towards the regiment headquarters.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect or something, but when I walked into the regiment headquarters this time, I seemed to feel that everyone’s eyes looked at me differently. Even the guards in front of the regiment department saluted me very spiritually. Although they were guards, they were all soldiers directly under the regiment headquarters, so they usually didn’t take us company commanders seriously at all. They often salute them perfunctorily, and sometimes they even pretended not to see them. But now, this posture is the standard! Moreover, the movements of the two guards are still neat and uniform, just like the guards during the military parade.

When we walked into the regiment headquarters, the chiefs of staff, deputy regiment commanders and others also nodded at me with a smile... If this were the past, it would have been ignored.

There is a saying at this time, "There are people above to do things!" It seems that this sentence is really correct.

"Battlefield Commander Cui!" Commander Zhang looked in a good mood and waved to me and said, "Your superior has already told me about your situation. I agree with the suggestion of your superior to recommend you as the battalion commander of the second battalion! And the superior also said that our regiment has fought very well in these battles, and the command of the regiment headquarters is also in place! Speaking of which, I really have to thank you!"

"Thank me?" I was stunned when I heard this. I suddenly remembered that when I went to the military headquarters yesterday, I said that I would say good things to Captain Zhang in front of the military commander. But... I forgot about this matter as soon as I walked out of the military headquarters, and I didn't mention it at all when I arrived at the military headquarters!

It seems that this is a coincidence. I happened to say that I would say good things for Commander Zhang, but I forgot to mention it. The military headquarters just praised Commander Zhang's command...

By the way, after our company won so many victories, the praise for the regiment headquarters will naturally say "I cannot do without their command" and so on! This may be just a few clichés to the military headquarters, but to Captain Zhang, it seems to be my credit!

"This..." At this time, I couldn't help but fall into embarrassment. I really didn't think about "raiding the reward", but at this time I didn't "raiding the reward" seemed to be a fool, so I hesitated and replied: "This is what I should do, and I'm honest. The reason why our group has such an outstanding performance is of course inseparable from the commander of the group leader!"

After saying this, I realized that I was wrong! I always thought I would not "flatter" but now it seems that I just didn't want to shoot it in the past, not that I couldn't.

My words obviously made Commander Zhang very helpful. He laughed a few times and said affectionately on my shoulders, "Capital Commander Cui is really good at speaking. Don't worry, although I, Lao Zhang, don't know a lot of words, people with clear grudges have always been rewarded and repaid. If you have anything to do in the future, just say it!"

"Yes!" I had to respond like this.

Somehow, I felt awkward when I heard Captain Zhang’s words. This is not what the leader of the regiment in the army said! He was simply the bandit leader on Wulong Mountain...

But no matter how much he is! One more friend is better than one more enemy, not to mention that this friend is my immediate boss, not to mention that I will have something to do soon and ask him for help.

"That..." Commander Zhang handed over a pile of thick notebooks and said, "This is the list of your camp and the backbone list. You can take it down and take a look first. If you have time, organize the cadres in the camp to hold a meeting! Everyone knows it, come to me if you have any questions!"

"Yes!" I responded again, and then asked in a low voice: "Control Commander, the original second battalion commander...he..."

This is how I am. I am cruel to the enemy on the battlefield, but I am never cruel to my own people in life. Although I sometimes look scary, such as using a gun to force recruits to train and using a military spear to target the scared Hu Shaowen's neck, those things are actually for their own good! I just force myself to make up.

"Don't worry!" Commander Zhang laughed and said, "He has been transferred to another army as battalion commander!"

"Um!" I felt less guilt when I heard this.

This seems to be a common method in the army. I, the company commander, want to be promoted to battalion commander, and the former battalion commander did not make any major mistakes. In order to avoid disputes or more conflicts, the best way is to transfer the former battalion commander to other troops. This is also conducive to the development of my work.

"Then..." I looked at the roster in my hand and asked again: "If I want to appoint and remove these cadres under my command..."

"Simple!" Captain Zhang laughed: "You give the names of several candidates, and then you can get a report to the regiment headquarters for approval!"

"Yes!" I saluted Captain Zhang with understanding. What Captain Zhang said was almost exactly the same as what Chief Xu said. If I don't understand, that would be a bit stupid!

But just when I thought everything was ready and I was waiting for my drastic reforms against my troops, I realized that things were far less simple than I thought.

After returning to the company, I flipped through the roster. I was originally full of confidence, but after reading the battle experiences of several backbones, I couldn't help but frown.

The reason why I frowned was not because these backbones were not good, but because they were indeed excellent.

But this is normal. After all, they were all selected by the soldiers in the company in the war. If they were not very good in the company, they would not be recognized by the soldiers. Because this is a life-long life, no one would want to choose an incompetent company commander to lead everyone to die.

For example, Xu Yongjian, the commander of the Fourth Company, once lurked alone in the grass behind the Vietnamese highlands when our army attacked the enemy's highlands. Even if the Vietnamese firepower points were completely exposed to his gun, he remained silent. It was not until our army prepared for the next assault and the Vietnamese army retreated to the tunnel to avoid the artillery fire that he suddenly launched an attack! He killed more than a dozen Vietnamese troops on the highlands with a machine gun and successfully blocked the two tunnel exits of the Vietnamese army. Our army took this highland at a very small price.

The other is Zhou Changxiang, the company commander of the Sixth Company. He is the only high school student in the company. Although high school students are nothing at this time, those who can go to high school in this era can be regarded as "rare animals", so as soon as they enter the army, they become deputy company commander! The facts also prove that he is not a nerd. In an accidental encounter with the Vietnamese army, he grabbed a Vietnamese army helmet on the ground, waved it at the Vietnamese army while making a sound, and he successfully tricked the Vietnamese army into the encirclement of our army, causing our army to wipe out a platoon of the Vietnamese army at a very small cost!

Judging from these previous battle examples, these two company commanders have extraordinary wisdom and endurance. They are obviously not incompetent, and they are obviously relying on their strength to reach the current position. Since this is the case, they will definitely have a certain amount of centripetal force in their own company.

The problem I face is that if I replace these two company commanders without any reason, it is very likely that the newly joined "subject" will be dissatisfied. This will not only affect my prestige, but also affect the new company commander's command over his subordinates, and thus affect my command of the troops...

From this point of view, changing the company commander immediately will have many harms but no benefits.

But...if I don't change the company commander, how can I make their company quickly accept a new tactic?

So I thought about it and asked the communications troop to find the company commander of the Fourth Company and the Sixth Company.

Soon Xu Yongjian and Zhou Changxiang stood in front of me.

Xu Yongjian is a soldier with thick eyebrows and big ears. He has a relatively strong figure. He thought he should have been doing physical work before joining the army. As expected, I didn't think so. Later, I learned that he used to be a porter. His boring and monotonous work cultivated his patience to a large extent, which also allowed him to endure the best opportunity in the battle to attack the Japanese devils.

Zhou Changxiang is like all scholars, with a thin figure and fair skin. But his eyes are very clever, and he even dares to look at him with my eyes facing each other. This reflects his strong psychological quality and is very confident.

I half of this psychological quality was obtained through the exam (I definitely believe that people who can take the exam have strong psychological quality, because exams are not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of psychological quality). That confidence... Maybe it is the reason why he always feels superior to being a high school student! There is even a little bit of pride in his eyes.

However, it is precisely this confidence and extraordinary psychological quality that allows him to calmly face the Vietnamese army and think of ways to deal with it in the shortest time. What is even more rare is that he dares to dress up as the Vietnamese army to attract the enemy without understanding Vietnamese... You must know that if you are not careful, you will lose your life!

I pretended to flip through the roster in front of me and said, "I just read your information. You have performed well on the battlefield. I think you know too. Now I am your battalion commander, and I want to know how you plan to carry out the next work!"

"Report to the battalion commander!"

The first person to speak was Zhou Changxiang, which was actually as expected.

Zhou Changxiang is confident and a little conceited, but Xu Yongjian is very patient. It would be strange if Zhou Changxiang doesn't speak first.

Zhou Changxiang stood up and said confidently: "I will not be satisfied with the achievements I have made in the past. I will lead the soldiers of the entire company to fight bravely and fight the Vietnamese devils to the end!"

This is not the answer I want. Zhou Changxiang seems to be emphasizing his own achievements in a vague manner and is a little complacent about his past achievements. Commanders like this, although excellent but not steady enough, are likely to lead all the soldiers of the company to a disaster...

"Report to the battalion commander!" Xu Yongjian thought for a while, and then said a few words without any haste: "I want to learn from the fifth company!"

Upon hearing this, my eyes couldn't help but lit up, but I still asked, "Why?"

"The facts are obvious!" Xu Yongjian replied: "No company's results in our battalion and even our regiment can be as small as those of the fifth company, and no company's casualties are as small as those of the fifth company. In other words, the fifth company always trades the smallest casualties for the greatest results! As a soldier, especially a grassroots cadre, the most important thing is that we can trade the smallest casualties for the greatest results, so I have to learn from the fifth company!"

"Yeah!" Listening to Xu Yongjian's words, I nodded in agreement.

"Actually..." After pausing for a while, Xu Yongjian looked at me, his tone was a bit sincere and admirable: "In the first battle abroad, that is, when attacking the 386th Highlands, the three companies of our battalion cooperated with the Yue defenders on the 386th Highlands. At that time, I felt that... the war should be fought like your fifth company! The fourth company and the sixth company were not fighting bravely enough, but did not master the method of fighting! Nothing can be done recklessly. War is a matter of life, so we should not be done recklessly!"

Xu Yongjian's words can be said to be in line with my wishes, so I quickly decided: Xu Yongjian, the company commander, can be changed without changing, and Zhou Changxiang must be changed!
Chapter completed!
