At six o'clock in the evening, at the headquarters of the independent battalion in Hongquan Village, the battalion commander Li Hao, the instructor Wang Hong, and the deputy battalion commander Hong Linfeng, who was already able to go to the field, gathered together as usual to discuss the progress of their day.

Hong Linfeng was injured and stayed at the command headquarters and was the first to speak.

"Battalion commander, today we received one hundred and ten recruits and more than 60,000 catties of grain from the independent company, in addition to gold and silver worth 1,500 oceans!"

"Zhao Wen also reported that the independent company has taken control of seven villages, and has now switched from defense to offense, seize the time to reorganize the troops and train the troops!"

"All the weapons and ammunition seized on the battlefield were handed over to the guerrillas in various villages, and they left 30 more recruits to form a recruit platoon, and the instructor also served as the platoon commander, hoping that the battalion headquarters would approve it!"

"In addition, because there are too few veterans in the independent company, they can't spare manpower to support the guerrillas in each village, so the battalion headquarters is requested to send people to support these guerrillas, and each guerrilla unit must have at least one veteran to command and train them, as well as the district squad they are about to set up.

Li Hao thought for a while and affirmed: "There is no problem with the weapons and ammunition for the guerrillas, they are all old sleeves and made in Hanyang, and they don't match the weapons and ammunition we use, so it's useless to hand them over!" ”

"I also agree with the formation of a recruit platoon, so that after each company fights independently and there are casualties, the troops can be replenished from their respective recruit platoons to ensure the combat effectiveness of the combat units!"

"As for the formation of guerrilla units and district squad commanders, this is up to the instructor!"

Wang Hong's head shook like a rattle and refused: "Battalion commander, don't look at me, I can't help it!" ”

"Although I am in charge of the health team, it is true that many seriously injured people can recover and return to the team. But they are all material for returning to the main force as squad leaders or even platoon leaders. Let them go and lead the guerrillas for training, it's too condescending! ”

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

As soon as the instructor finished speaking, there was a knock at the door.

Then Huang Weihua, the instructor of the guard company, rushed in: "Battalion commander, instructor, something happened to the health team!" ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Hong stood up suddenly, stared at Huang Weihua and asked.

Huang Weihua hurriedly reported: "A seriously injured person woke up at noon today and saw that his left leg had been amputated. After being persuaded, my mood improved a lot. Unexpectedly, during dinner at night, he directly smashed the rice bowl, and then used the broken bowl to destroy the wound, causing the wound to bleed heavily! ”

"Fortunately, I found it in time and was rescued."

"The doctor of the health team said that if you find it one minute later and lose too much blood, even if the king of heaven comes over, he can't save it!"

Li Hao's brows immediately twisted.

He thought of his own experience when he first crossed the Long March.

On the battlefield, the Red Army soldiers preferred to die rather than be seriously wounded.

Because it is impossible for the troops to march with the seriously wounded, and seriously wounded means that they will be left behind by the troops, and finally fall into the hands of the white army, and life is worse than death.

Not surprisingly, this seriously injured man who wanted to commit suicide must have thought the same way.

The left leg was amputated, and the combat unit will definitely not be able to go back.

Leaving the army and losing his left leg, it is also better to live than to die, and even eating is a problem!

On the Long March, he was only a small squad leader, no taller than a platoon leader, and the troops were always on the march to battle, so there was no way to solve this problem.

But now it's different, as long as nothing happens, the independent battalion will always be rooted here in the future, and it will be based on the ground, and it will be much easier to solve this problem!

Then he stared at Wang Hong and asked: "Instructor, how many such wounded people are there in the health team, even if they recover in the future, they will not be able to return to the team because of their disabilities!" ”

"There are more than fifty people in a few big battles!"

"The secret camp can share some of it, let them help manage the prisoners for production, but because the prisoners are limited, they can only share a dozen people, and there are nearly forty fighters who can't solve the way out, and there are several squad leaders with rich combat experience, and there are even two platoon commanders!"

Li Hao's furrowed brows did not change, and he stared at the instructor and continued to ask, "What are you going to do with these seriously injured people?" ”

The instructor replied helplessly: "Try to find a way to resettle them, if there is really no place to resettle, you can only give them some money, let them go home by themselves, and by the way, let the local government greet them more!" ”

"These people are talents, we can't let them go home!" Li Hao shook his head and refused, speaking in a very firm tone.

"There is a shortage of soldiers, many people can't even feed themselves because of their disabilities, let them go home and fend for themselves, that's no different from killing them, then our losses will be great!"

Wang Hong's face was also very solemn, and he replied with a long sigh: "But we can't think of any other way than to go home!" ”

"I have a way!" Li Hao replied confidently!

"They joined our Eighth Route Army in order to fight devils, and now they are disabled because of fighting devils, we can't ignore it!"

"Let's go, now follow me to the health team, I'm going to meet them!"

When Li Hao arrived at the health team, a doctor was doing ideological work on the soldiers who had just been rescued, and there was a soldier guarding next to him to prevent accidents.

But from the pale faces and closed eyes of the seriously wounded, it can be seen that the doctor's education did not play a role!

"You go down first, I'll come!" Li Hao walked to the side of the hospital bed and said.

"Hello battalion commander! Hello instructor! The doctor subconsciously stood up.

Hearing the words of the battalion commander, the seriously wounded man who had been keeping his eyes closed on the hospital bed opened his eyes!

"Comrade Peng Xiaojun! I just heard a report from my comrades that you broke your job and wanted to commit suicide! Li Hao asked bluntly.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Li Hao continued to speak: "Do you know what kind of person would choose to commit suicide? I'm telling you, it's a coward...... Only cowards dare not face reality! ”

"I'm not a coward...... retorted weakly, holding back the pain from the wound.

"No, you're a coward, although you've been on the battlefield and fought little devils, but that's before. On the battlefield you are a warrior, but here you are a coward! ”

The seriously wounded struggled to answer: "I'm not a coward...... My left leg was amputated, and I was already a cripple, even if I was cured and left the army, I would have to fend for myself and die in the future. It's better to save some medicine and let me die here, at least I can get the name of a martyr! ”

There were still more than a dozen seriously wounded people living in the room, and several of them were in the same situation as him, either amputated or with broken legs, and it was certainly impossible to return to the army in the future.

Hearing this, the faces of these wounded people became gloomy, and there was no life on their faces!

Li Hao opened his mouth and continued to scold: "You also said that you are not a coward~ Didn't you just break a leg?" One leg scares you so much that you want to kill yourself, isn't this a coward? ”

"Also, who told you that if you break a leg, you're a waste! Who told you that you were leaving the army, and who told you that you would be left to fend for yourself? ”

A series of rhetorical questions stunned Peng Xiaojun, and then he suddenly reacted, stared at Li Hao and asked, "Battalion commander, are you saying that we don't have to leave the army?" ”

"However, I don't even have a leg, isn't it a drag on everyone to continue to stay in the army? Battalion commander, don't comfort me! ”

The hope that had just ignited on Peng Xiaojun's face was gone, and it became gloomy again!

Li Hao replied with a serious face: "Yes, you can't stay in the main force." However, in addition to the main forces, our independent battalions also have logistics units, as well as local troops, as well as partisan units...... With so many troops, there's always a place where you can stay! ”

After saying that, he shifted his gaze to the other seriously injured people!

"And you, give me a good recovery and recover as soon as possible!"

"Whether you have been amputated or your leg is broken, there are tasks in my independent battalion waiting for you to continue to stay in the army and contribute to the troops!"

"Everyone must remember that our independent battalion will never give up on a person, even if his legs and hands are useless, our independent battalion has a place to support him!"

Peng Xiaojun's gloomy face rekindled hope: "Battalion commander, what you said is true?" We can continue to stay in the army, contribute to the army, and not drag everyone down! ”

"I'm the commander of the independent battalion, and my words count!" Li Hao replied with a serious face!
