Chapter 21: Promotion
Although Sun Changhui was stubborn, he did not dare to clash with Zhu Chi head-on. He knew that even if this matter really stabbed Sun Yuanliang, Sun Yuanliang would not favor him, after all, Zhu Chi was the most capable general under him. He didn't want to let his subordinates turn away from him because of a distant relative.
So Sun Changhui closed his mouth, but the eyes that looked at Qin Chuan were full of contempt. The heart said that you are nothing more than that, and if you can't beat the little devil, you are bragging here, which really makes people laugh off their big teeth.
Qin Chuan listened to Brigade Commander Zhu's words, and then realized that the two companies on his flank were ordered to retreat by Sun Changhui. If it weren't for this guy's unauthorized retreat, their Ninth Company would not have suffered such heavy losses.
And just when everyone thought that Qin Chuan was beaten stupid by the little devil, had war syndrome, and needed to receive psychological counseling, the guards outside suddenly knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Zhu Chi originally planned to comfort Qin Chuan, who may have been psychologically traumatized, but when he heard the guards knocking on the door, he said loudly.
When the guards came in, they took out a telegram and reported: "Report the brigade seat, the news from the military headquarters." It is said that the Ninth Company under our 262nd Brigade annihilated a squadron of little devils in Luodian and killed the squadron leader Kuroiwa Sakatsu.
This matter was reported by the Japanese, and the killed Kuroiwa Sakatsu was still the younger brother of the brigade commander of the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, Kuroiwa Yoshikatsu. The military headquarters sent a commendation order, saying that let us make persistent efforts and play with the spirit of the 88th Division. ”
The content of the telegram plunged the entire command into a dead silence.
Because of this telegram, it confirmed what Qin Chuan said. They thought that Qin Chuan was stimulated by something, so they began to talk nonsense.
As a result, I didn't expect that this thing turned out to be true, they really killed an elite squadron of little devils, and also killed the squadron leader Kuroiwa Sakatsu.
"Sixty or seventy people, beating more than two hundred, how did you do it?" Zhu Chi muttered.
He led his troops to fight for many years, but he could not imagine that a lone army trapped behind enemy lines could defeat an enemy several times his own. And this enemy is still elite, well-equipped and capable of combat.
"Forty-five people, to be exact, more than two hundred people were annihilated." Qin Chuan corrected and said, "When our company decided to take the initiative to attack the Japanese squadron, only forty-five people were still capable of fighting. ”
When everyone heard this, the entire command could clearly hear the sound of everyone gasping.
Because of this, it really feels like a mythical story.
If this matter was reported by the newspaper on your side, it may have been falsely reported to boost morale. But that was reported by the little devil's military newspaper, and they didn't need to grow up others to destroy their prestige.
So this thing is eighty percent true, Qin Chuan's Ninth Company really only used more than 40 people to destroy the elite squadron of more than 200 little devils.
Sun Changhui, who had just spoken and mocked Qin Chuan, stood even more in place at this time.
The telegram that the guard had just read out was still a telegram. It was simply one big mouth after another, slapping him hard in the face.
"With such a fierce general, what more can the husband ask for!!" Zhu Chi looked at Qin Chuan Dao with great satisfaction.
The other commanders were also praising Qin Chuan without hesitation at this time. Only Sun Changhui was petrified in place at this time, feeling a hot pain in his cheeks, as if he had been poured gasoline and set on fire.
"Company Commander Qin's heroic performance this time, everyone also knows. Battalion Commander Zhang has already died on the battlefield, so I have now decided to be promoted to the commander of the Qin Company and the commander of the third battalion. Zhu Chi looked around at everyone and said.
Hearing that Zhu Chi was going to be promoted to battalion commander, Qin Chuan was a little surprised. Because in the system of the national army, if there is no relationship, or if there is any faction, it is difficult for the commander at the bottom to get promoted.
Zhu Chi's commanders, except for Sun Changhui, were basically promoted by him personally, so they were basically very supportive of his decision.
In addition, Qin Chuan's record is really a bit awesome, they think that they have been replaced by them, and they can't use the remnants of more than forty people to kill a squadron of little devils. It is to be more without objection.
And after Sun Changhui heard that Qin Chuan was actually promoted to battalion commander and was on an equal footing with him, he suddenly felt like he had been struck by lightning and froze in place for a long time.
He can't see others better, especially those who were not as good as himself before. What's more, Qin Chuan slapped him in the face frantically just now, making him feel that Qin Chuan stepped on his face to ascend to the position of commander of the third battalion.
But now that everyone has passed this resolution, he doesn't dare to say anything more, otherwise he is really a little afraid that Zhu Chi will tear his face with himself and tell Sun Yuanliang about his.
"Since there is no objection, then Qin Chuan, you will be the commander of the third battalion in the future." Zhu Chi patted Qin Chuan's shoulder and said.
"Thank you, Traveler." Qin Chuan still didn't react, and said in his heart that this promotion was too fast.
In fact, this military meeting was mainly to discuss the matter of replenishing troops. According to the meaning of the above, there was a serious shortage of reserves, and they could only recruit troops in Nanjing City on their own.
Some troops have already begun to arrest strong men outside Nanjing, and even let some refugees join the army for temporary training. Their 262 brigade could not lag behind either.
After the meeting ended, Qin Chuan was stopped by a middle-aged man.
That person was none other than Qin Chuan's top boss and the head of the 524 regiment, Han Xianyuan.
Next to him was another officer who looked quite heroic, in Qin Chuan's memory, this young man was none other than Deputy Regiment Commander Xie Jinyuan, who bravely resisted the Japanese army in the Sixing Warehouse.
"Qin Chuan, it's great that you can come back alive and make this feat. After that, when I went to the division headquarters for a meeting, my face was bright. Han Xianyuan was in the headquarters just now, and he didn't have a chance to communicate with Qin Chuan, so he walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said.
Deputy Regiment Commander Xie also said with a smile on his face at this time: "Yes, Battalion Commander Qin, when your company was trapped in Luodian, our regiment commander went to the division seat and said many times that he would lead the troops to rescue you. It's a pity that he..."
Hearing that Xie Jinyuan was going to complain about the division commander, the head of Han Xianyuan hurriedly coughed, and then said, "It's good to come back." The losses of the third battalion are very heavy, you have to hurry up to replenish the troops, and when the time comes, go to the logistics department to ask for equipment, it is only the beginning of September, and the little devils are fighting the sea fiercely, I estimate that at most half a month, our troops will be sent to Shanghai to fight again. ”
