Chapter 171
Xie Baoqing became the deputy company commander, and Ergou also followed him to the 7th Company and became the second platoon leader.
Only then did Wang Xuexin realize how big the casualties were in the previous defensive battle. All the vacancy was sacrificed to make up.
The second squad leader Chen Hao also died.
This is what the instructor told Wang Xuexin that Wang Xuexin had just found his place to spread the quilt on the bed... Zhaojiayu had just been robbed by the Japanese, of course, there was no kang, so it would be nice to have a wooden bed to sleep.
At this time, the instructor came up. He first greeted Wang Xuexin's injuries, and then said, "Chen Hao is a good comrade! On his last dying, he donated his last little savings, two silver dollars and five yuan of legal tender to the army. There was still blood on the legal tender. We were not willing to spend it, so we decided to stay for a souvenir! We can also serve as a role model and witness to learn from the future!"
As he said that, the instructor took out his notebook, flipped through it for a while and handed it to Wang Xuexin.
When Wang Xuexin saw that there was an old yellow banknote inside, the wrinkles had been flattened, and the two big characters "Wu Yuan" in the middle were written from right to left. The avatar next to it was stained with blood and became blurred.
Wang Xuexin stretched out his hand, but hesitated and shrank back, saying, "It's better to keep it by the instructor! If I let it go, I might lose it at any time!"
The instructor nodded, covered his notebook and put it back in his pocket, and said heavily: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, don't have too much burden. They all sacrificed for the anti-Japanese cause and were valuable. We will not forget these good comrades. We should turn grief and anger into strength and fight more Japanese to avenge them!"
Wang Xuexin didn't say anything. He looked around and looked at his subordinates, at least half of them were new faces.
This is the cruelty of war!
Wang Xuexin had not had time to adapt to these, but the soldiers seemed to have gotten used to it.
Or they are not used to it on the battlefield, but these are common things in this era of chaos.
Wang Xuexin spent two days training the troops to get familiar with the new faces.
The first and third squad leader did not change, but Hu Zi and Zhang Qingcai were still there, and the second squad leader was replaced by Liu Dazuo.
This group of new recruits is different from usual. Most of them are veterans. They were temporarily refusing to fight with the Japanese when the Independent Regiment was stationed in Zhaojiayu and fought with the Japanese in an instant. Some of them did not return to Jian because they wanted to stay in the front line... At this time, they were calling for large-scale production. Returning to the second line was to open up land and farm.
Five of them were bandits, and Wang Xuexin could see that they were still a little wary.
Among them, one with a scar on his forehead, nicknamed Scarface, is the head of this group of people.
Wang Xuexin knew that if the bandits were obedient, they had to suppress this head, so he waved his hand to scream at the rest!
Scarface stood up in front of Wang Xuexin and saluted: "Report to the platoon leader, Liu Baosheng, a soldier in the second squad!"
This ceremony was to the platoon leader and shouted, but he looked dissatisfied.
Liu Baosheng is also a character in Heiyun Village. He has no other advantage. He has a lot of appetite and has grown brute force. He grabbed his opponent and raised it to the ground and smashed it. He would lose half his life even if he didn't die.
Wang Xuexin tied his shoe rope and said, "I won't tell you any big truth. As long as you understand one, you will be able to do it. We are fighting the Japanese. The Japanese are not joking with you. If you have any ideas in the army and don't do it well, just go home early and don't harm others here!"
The army is a place where cooperation and cooperation are concerned. The biggest problem is that their individual soldiers are not of poor quality. In fact, they all have both skills and have good food and drinks to pass the physical fitness.
The problem is that they pay too much attention to personal performance, and they are brave and ruthless and do not obey orders and do not talk about collectively.
After being scolded by Wang Xuexin, Scarface replied a little aggrievedly: "Planer Commander, I'm not dissatisfied with you. You saved our lives and even killed the second in command. You have real kung fu in your hands! We admire those who have real kung fu! But..."
"But what?" Wang Xuexin asked in confusion.
"But..." Scarface looked towards Liu Dazuo, and leaned forward to lower his voice and said, "We can't do it under an opera singer! Otherwise, we can compete with the martial artist. If he loses, the squad leader will let me do it!"
Wang Xuexin couldn't help laughing. It turned out that this guy was having a quarrel over this matter.
"I said scar face!" Wang Xuexin raised his head and said, "What's the point of competing with our own people? If you have the ability to fight the Japanese, our Eighth Route Army will compete, and the competition is also competing against the Japanese. The martial artist fought five Japanese last time. If you beat many Japanese, let alone the squad leader, I can be yours!"
"Really?" Scarface's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true!" Wang Xuexin said: "Isn't my platoon leader also attacked the Japanese?!"
Scarface responded, and was so excited that he was eager to try.
He thought to himself, let's get a squad leader first, and then the platoon leader, the company commander... When the company commander arrived, the boss became my soldiers, and he had to obey my orders?
This relationship is good!
Later, the scarface really asked someone else: "How many Japanese have our platoon leader beaten?"
The soldiers laughed as soon as they heard this and persuaded them in a slight manner:
"If you want to surpass the platoon leader, then save money!"
"Don't think about it in this life!"
"It would be better to scare you to death if you say it, but you still don't know!"
...
Scarface was still dissatisfied: "Give me a number, we will catch up one day!"
Liu Dazuo stretched out a finger.
Scarface smiled: "I said how many there are, aren't there only ten?"
"I think beautifully!" Liu Dazuo replied: "There are at least a hundred Japanese under our platoon leader, especially last time, when the car was burned, the whole road was half lit, two ammunition trucks were blown up, and there were at least fifty or sixty Japanese who were burned to death. This adds one hundred people, right?
The soldiers nodded in agreement:
"Although I can't figure out how many people have beaten, there are about a hundred people!"
"If you want me to say, forget it! Our platoon leaders are all picking up powerful Japanese soldiers to fight. Can we calculate it according to one?"
"That's right, the platoon leader is all the Japanese officers, machine gunners, or even sharpshooters, ordinary Japanese don't look down on them!"
...
After being told by the soldiers, this scar face has no temper.
Damn it is really not easy to be an official in the Eighth Route Army.
This platoon leader defeated more than a hundred Japanese, the company commander, regiment commander, brigade commander...
Scarface dared not continue thinking about it.
At this moment, a sentence flashed through his mind, "There are people outside the mountain outside the mountain."
No wonder the bobcat fell into the hands of the platoon leader!
No wonder the boss is all the platoon leader!
No wonder we want to be the Eighth Route Army!
In short, in one sentence, this path is right!
Chapter completed!
