Chapter 36: The Troubles of Too Many People
The deserter was killed with one shot, and when he turned his gaze again, another deserter was spotted, and the captain shot and fired again. After shouting a few times, no one answered him and he didn't shout, as long as he found someone who looked like a deserter, he raised his hand and shot it. After the battle, he continued to rush forward with the troops.
Soon, the Japanese captain did not have the heart to shoot the deserter, he had already rushed into the area of fire. The two sides are engaged in a fierce exchange of fire, and if he dares to distract himself from the deserters, the opponent's bullets will come to him!
"Captain!" There was a shout from behind him, and the captain was pushed hard, and when he looked back, he saw that the orderly who had been with him for several years was already lying on the ground and pumping. A large heavy machine-gun bullet made a hole in the back of his shoulder blade, and the bullet came out of his chest, and blood gushed out like a spring. So much blood has been shed, but the man has not died for a while.
Captain Devil has fought more battles, and he has seen more dead people. Although the orderly died to save him, the captain's stone-like heart was not touched in the slightest. Seeing that the orderly was too sad before he died, the captain grabbed the sword and aimed it at the heart and thrust it down. The orderly's eyes widened with horror, and soon their eyes lost their brightness.
The adjutant and staff officers watched this scene blankly, and no one stopped or applauded. It wasn't until the captain drew his sword and wiped the blood from the corpse's clothes that the gang came to their senses. The captain raised his sword, and the devils began to charge again. However, they were greeted by a barrage of light and heavy machine guns and hundreds of rifles! The charge is too hard!
The devils rushed forward desperately at the risk of their lives, and the further they went, the more dense the bullets became, and the faster they died. The lieutenant was also shot in the arm, and the adjutant somehow found a dirty rag to wrap around him, and he didn't know if it would cause sepsis and kill him.
Just when the devils were about to take risks and die heroically like the heroes in their hearts, shouts of killing suddenly sounded behind them, and the first company of the Flying Tiger Battalion on Wangfu Mountain went down the mountain!
It's like a person who is going to commit suicide by cutting his wrists and suddenly doesn't want to cut his wrists again; The person who was going to hang himself looked at the dog leash in his hand and suddenly planned to live for another fifty years. The devil captain who was already determined to die on the battlefield suddenly didn't want to die again! Before being surrounded by our army, this guy suddenly pointed his war knife to the side, and he fled with the devil soldiers towards the empty space!
Even if the Flying Tiger Battalion has more people than the devils, it is far from the extent of surrounding the devils on all sides, at most it is to block and chase after them. The devil really wants to escape, and he really can't stop it.
Seeing that the last dozens of devils fled into the vast darkness, Ren Laifeng gathered his troops, cleaned up the battlefield, and continued to return to Wangfu Mountain. Wangfu Mountain is the defensive position of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and he can't explain it to Commander-in-Chief Sun if he loses it casually.
It wasn't until dawn the next day that the devil sent another unit at the foot of Wangfu Mountain, and the number of people was about the same brigade. The new Devil Brigade seems to have learned the lesson of the defeat of the last brigade, and they did not rush to attack, but set up camp first after they came.
The devil is not in a hurry, and he is even less anxious when the wind comes. So many weapons and equipment he had captured had not yet been fully rationed to the troops, and the newly formed company had not yet been fully integrated. The new first company is already the largest company of the Flying Tiger Battalion in terms of numbers, with more than 200 people in the company, nearly half more than Fu Erchong's second company!
At present, what Ren Laifeng has to consider is that if such a large army is led by Zhou Lin and Chen Zhongyi, will the army be unstable? You must know that all the soldiers in this new unit have defected from the Japanese army. If these people have an unstable mind or something, it will be a big mess!
This question was not brought to Ren Laifeng's mind, but the thoughts of several other company commanders of the Flying Tiger Battalion. But if Ren Laifeng announces the disbandment of the new company, or if it is a change of generals before the battle, wouldn't it be suspected of going back on his word? Last night, he personally appointed Zhou Lin and Chen Zhongyi as the chief and deputy commanders of the new company. Isn't that child's play? Treating military orders as child's play is definitely not a good thing for a unit commander!
In view of this, the battalion commander called all the company-level officers of the Flying Tiger Battalion together and asked the big guys to discuss this matter together. As the protagonists of this meeting, Zhou Lin and Chen Zhongyi naturally both participated.
Zhou Lin is better, but Chen Zhongyi is more restrained. He knew that this was a high-level meeting of the Flying Tiger Battalion, and he didn't expect that he would also have the opportunity to participate in a military meeting of this level. It was the highest-level meeting he had ever attended in his life.
At the beginning of the meeting, Fu Erchong, commander of the second company, first threw out the topic to discuss the issue of the leadership of the new regiment. No one expected that Fu Erchong threw the question out and annoyed a person on the spot, Zhou Lin!
"Company Commander Fu, what do you mean? Before yesterday, I didn't think about becoming a company commander, but the battalion commander personally ordered me to be appointed as the company commander of the new company. How? Could it be that the company commander Fu saw that my new company had too many strong soldiers and strong people, and the personnel exceeded your regular second company, so he felt uncomfortable and asked the battalion commander to hold this meeting? ”
Zhou Lin usually gives people the feeling of smiling and very easy-going, no one expected that once this person lost his temper, his words would be so sharp!
Fu Erchong has always been known for his outstanding marksmanship and short-tempered temper in the Flying Tiger Battalion, and the entire Flying Tiger Battalion, including Ren Laifeng, is counted as one, and no one has ever spoken to him. This time, let Zhou Lin say two sentences, and Fu Erchong's face suddenly turned blue!
"Zhou Lin! Little hairy boy, when Lao Tzu was a soldier, you still wore open crotch pants, right? It's only been a day since you became a company commander that you dare to fight with Lao Tzu? Okay, you have a kind! ”
"Fu Erchong, who are you? Speak cleanly! "Zhou Lin is really anxious today, facing Fu Erchong, who is obviously on the verge of breaking out, he will not retreat an inch!" Even though you're a few years older than me, if you want to be respected, you have to learn to be respectful! ”
Fu Erchong was furious, and when he stood up, he was about to pull the pistol, but Li Lishan pounced on him and hugged him, "Company Commander Fu, Company Commander Fu, calm down, calm down." ”
"Lao Fu, what do you want to do?" Ren Laifeng shouted with a calm face, and everyone in the venue was stunned. "Look at yourselves, what do you look like? Do you think you're still an officer of the country? One by one, it's like a village man! Sit it all down for me! ”
The number one leader of a unit should have absolute authority, and this is especially true of the army. After a few words, these people sat there honestly one by one without saying a word.
Although Ren Laifeng calmed down the dispute, he also scratched his head a little, how can he find a solution that has the best of both worlds?
