Chapter 34: A New Company

It is by no means uncommon in the history of our country to conquer raze with raze, from the Song Dynasty's Lianjin invasion of Liao, to the joint Mongolian crusade against Dajin, and then to the late Qing Dynasty's razing against razing. It can be said that our ancestors used this trick the most, and there are countless examples of lifting stones and hitting their own feet.

Of course, this idiom does not apply here. The recruits who joined just now are not Yiren, they are also upright Chinese. Ren Laifeng only remembered this idiom by chance. He was thinking: Since the Taiwanese soldiers of the Botian detachment are so strong in combat, the batch of recruits he has just accepted are also Taiwanese, and the two sides were originally the same unit, so wouldn't their combat effectiveness be equally strong? Wouldn't it be a miracle to let these people deal with their yesterday's friends and comrades-in-arms?

"Chen Zhongyi." Ren Laifeng beckoned over the first Taiwanese soldier who abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, "I want you brothers to go to the front line to fight the Botian detachment, do you think they will be willing?" ”

Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and agreed: "Yes." ”

"I asked you if they would be willing, I didn't ask you anything else!"

Chen Zhongyi was taken aback, looked up at Ren Laifeng blankly, and then said as if he had mustered up courage: "They don't want to." They don't want to fight, they just want to go back to their hometowns and reunite with their families. However, if the commander orders them to go, they will obey. ”

"Good. Now I have appointed you as the deputy company commander of the first company of the new Flying Tiger Battalion, and all the Taiwanese soldiers who joined the Flying Tiger Battalion today will be incorporated into the new first company, and you will lead you to immediately go up to reinforce the second company and the independent brigade. ”

"Yes!" Although Chen Zhongyi was still a little surprised, the speed of saluting and agreeing was not slow at all. He is also a soldier, and he also knows that this is a promotion. Whether the soldiers want to or not, he is willing to fight anyway. However, there were some questions he still had to figure out, "May I ask you, sir, who is the commander of the new first company?" ”

"Company commander, I have my own arrangements. Zhou Lin, I appoint you as the new company commander! ”

"Yes!" Zhou Lin was also taken aback, and subconsciously raised his hand to salute and agreed.

"Okay, now I order: Zhou Lin, Chen Zhongyi, the two of you immediately lead all the officers and soldiers of the new company to the battlefield and participate in the battle!"

"Yes!" The freshly baked company commander and deputy company commander led their team, re-received their guns, and quickly entered the battlefield.

What does it mean to be unwilling to fight? That's what people say. If you really shoot you if you don't go to the battlefield, who else dare to say that you don't want to? Besides, Chen Zhongyi was a big-headed soldier just now, and he was the deputy company commander in the blink of an eye, why? Isn't it because people can see the timing accurately and invest early?

The deputy company commander is no longer counting on it, but what about the platoon commander and squad leader? Among the more than 100 Taiwanese soldiers, there are not only first-class and second-class soldiers, but also squad and platoon leaders. In a new unit where the commanders of the grassroots have not yet been fully equipped, these former leaders are of course more thoughtful than ordinary soldiers. As a result, in this battle, those who had a half-official position before Tou Cheng showed extraordinarily brave and good fighting!

The army is like that, whenever there are warriors, there will be a large group of people to support and emulate. What's more, these so-called warriors were originally grassroots commanders, and they were already quite popular, and each of them could pull a few followers. They were brave and good at fighting, and so were their followers and companions.

There are only about 100 people in the new company so far, and more than half of them are brave in battle, and the remaining half of them are not brave if they don't want to. The picture of the cowardly and unsociable guy being slaughtered is still imprinted in the minds of the officers and soldiers of the new company, if you don't want to go back to that kid, you have to get out of the way!

What is Fellow? What do you mean by comrades-in-arms? On the battlefield, guns are facing each other, that's the enemy! There are many examples of brothers fighting to the death for the division of family property, not to mention that few of them are really brothers, let's fight!

On the opposite side is a three-person combat team, and this side is also a three-person team; There is a machine gun on the opposite side, and the new company also has it here; There are grenadiers on the opposite side, and the new company has more grenadiers than them! Of course, there were more grenadiers at the brigade headquarters than in a squadron, and the new companies that were spare alone could not be used up; There are also heavy machine guns. That thing weighs a hundred pounds as soon as it stands tall. The devil ran in a hurry, and even left four Type 92 heavy machine guns.

With these heavy equipment, as soon as the two sides exchanged fire, the new company had the upper hand in firepower, and they simply used grenadiers and heavy machine guns to press the other side so that they could not raise their heads.

Don't mention the depression in the heart of the devil squadron leader opposite, when did the Chinese have such strong firepower? He vaguely knew in his heart that this must be the treasures stored by the brigade that had been taken away by the enemy who attacked them. Use Japanese guns against the Japanese, the Chinese love to do this kind of thing! Before going to the front, he once went to ask Yamada Shaozo for a heavy machine gun, but as a result, the stingy Shaozo only gave him two light machine guns, which is still the kind of garbage with crooked handles! He kept all the heavy weapons and gave them to the Chinese!

The more he fought, the more awkward the devil felt. They always felt that the enemy on the other side was not like the national army. Not only is it not like the national army, but it doesn't even look like the guerrillas, but it feels like they are fighting against their own people.

In order to find out the details of the other side, the Japanese squadron leader successively sent two detachments to touch the enemy's reality, and as a result, the two detachments were like meat buns beating dogs! He didn't dare to send any more people, he didn't know how many more detachments he would send before he could receive a reply. And his squadron is no longer a few full-fledged detachments!

The battle is still going on, the superiority of our army continues to expand, and the Japanese army is now completely on the passive.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a cloud: know yourself and know your opponent and will not be defeated in a hundred battles. Ren Laifeng knew the reality of his opponent, but his opponent knew nothing about him. The outcome of this battle has now been decided. At this time, Ren Laifeng quietly came up with his third company. The third company did not immediately enter the battle, and Ren Laifeng found Chen Zhongyi in the battle.

"Deputy Chen Lian, find me a few people with combat experience who used to be well-known in the Botian detachment, preferably those who have been squad and platoon leaders, and I will give them a task."

What tasks do you need to use such a person? Chen Zhongyi was puzzled and didn't dare to ask, so he hurriedly ran back and brought five people over after a while. These five people are all the kind of people in their thirties and early forties, and at first glance they are not young people. Five people lined up to report their homes, one of them had been a military officer, and the other four were all military commanders. These five people were the elite backbone of that army at the beginning!

"Lin Tian, all five of you are serving as squad leaders for the time being. Now I order, the five of you to change into your old military uniforms, and go over and call me!" Win the Taiwanese soldiers on the opposite side to surrender. If you can call a platoon, you will be the squad leader, and if you can call a platoon, you will be the platoon leader! ”
