Chapter 20: Battle Exploits
When she turned around again, Qin Chuan could no longer be seen in the noisy flow of people at the train station. And the soldiers of the Ninth Company have also disappeared into the crowd.
She sighed and walked out of the train station on her own, towards her home.
The person from the brigade headquarters who came to pick up the Ninth Company was a staff officer Feng Cai, who didn't know where to transfer two trucks to pick up the people of the Ninth Company.
"If you want me to say, Company Commander Qin, your face is really big enough, and our brigade commander specially transferred the truck from the brigade headquarters to pick you up and take you to the camp. If this had been replaced by other troops, not to mention trucks, there would not have even been ox carts. Feng Cai sat on the truck and said to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan said: "The brigade loves soldiers like children, even if it is replaced by other troops, it will also be picked up by truck." ”
Feng Cai immediately waved his hand and said, "Company Commander Qin, don't be modest here. You have always been a sharp knife of the 524 Regiment, and you were the one who rushed the most fiercely in Luodian before, and the brigade seat has always valued you, which is unknown to everyone in our 262 Brigade. ”
Qin Chuan's memory was a little fragmentary, and after Feng Cai's reminder, he remembered that his Ninth Company was a very elite company in the 524th Regiment. Whether it's daily performance or charging into battle, it's one of the best.
Feng Cai is very enthusiastic about Qin Chuan, even if Qin Chuan doesn't say much along the way, he is as gushing as the river outside Nanjing.
From Feng Cai's mouth, Qin Chuan learned that the main force of the 88th Division had only arrived in Nanjing City yesterday morning. After a simple arrangement of a number of camps, the replenishment of the lost forces began.
But at this time, every army that entered Nanjing City needed to replenish its troops, so those reserve soldiers transported by ferry basically just arrived in Nanjing City, and they were robbed.
Some troops even began to capture strong men in the outskirts of Nanjing to replenish the lost soldiers.
When their truck arrived at the brigade headquarters of the 262nd Brigade, they put Qin Chuan and Liuzi down. The rest of the soldiers were transported to the camp prepared for the Ninth Company.
After getting off the truck, Qin Chuan and the six sons followed Feng Cai into the brigade headquarters.
Pushing the door of the headquarters open, the 262 Brigade was having a military meeting at this time, and basically all the commanders above the battalion level were all commanders.
Feng Cai took Qin Chuan into the command headquarters, and honestly pulled him to the corner, and then said in a low voice: "Company Commander Qin, you have a low military rank, don't talk nonsense." These are military meetings above the battalion level. ”
Although he had tried his best to be quiet, Qin Chuan's entry still attracted the attention of others in the headquarters.
"Company Commander Qin, what are you doing standing behind, come, come to your side." At this time, Zhu Chi, the brigade commander who was wearing a neat officer uniform and a pair of bright eyes, beckoned to Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan recognized Zhu Chi at a glance, nodded and walked to his side.
As soon as he arrived at Zhu Chi's side, Brigade Commander Zhu began to praise him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I won't introduce the commander of the Ninth Company, you all know each other. His troops fought the fiercest battles, and this time they were able to break through the Japanese encirclement and return to the city of Nanjing, which was really a model for our army. Zhu Chi patted Qin Chuan's shoulder and said.
Being praised like this, Qin Chuan was a little embarrassed.
Most of those commanders knew Qin Chuan, after all, the most capable company of the 524 Regiment was Qin Chuan's Ninth Company. They originally thought that the Ninth Company was encircled by the Japanese army and there was no chance of survival, but they didn't expect Qin Chuan to rush out with his men. They applauded him.
At this time, Brigade Commander Zhu asked: "By the way, Qin Chuan, at that time, you sent me a telegram saying that you were going to have a decisive battle with the Japanese squadron that attacked you, how about it?" Did they repel their attack? ”
Even if he believed that Qin Chuan and his soldiers were very capable of fighting, Brigade Commander Zhu only thought that Qin Chuan had repelled the attack of the Japanese squadron, and then found the gap surrounded by the Japanese army and rushed out.
But Qin Chuan thought for a while and said: "Report to the brigade seat, our army annihilated more than 200 people of the Black Rock Squadron under the 22nd Brigade of the Japanese Army, and at the same time, the commander of the Blade Squadron, Heiyan Sakatsu, and annihilated a small squad of the Japanese army at the riverside dock on the way to retreat. The total number of enemies destroyed should be around 250. ”
He didn't say that when he was still retreating by boat, he killed one of the little devils' planes with a gun by the way. After all, this matter is a bit of a fantasy, and if you really say it, I'm afraid it will be regarded as bragging.
However, Qin Chuan didn't realize that what he said was to annihilate a Japanese squadron and a small squadron, and kill a Japanese squadron leader. To these commanders, it was fantastical enough.
"I can really blow it." A young-looking battalion commander said.
Qin Chuan had some impressions of that person, it was Sun Changhui, the battalion commander of the second battalion of the 524th Regiment.
It is said that he came out of the Whampoa Military Academy, and Sun Yuanliang, the commander of the 88th Division, seems to have some relationship, and was arranged to the elite German armament division, and was promoted to the position of battalion commander without an inch of merit.
"Qin Chuan, are you sure that what you said was done by your Ninth Company?" Brigade Commander Zhu Rao has always trusted Qin Chuan, and he is also a little suspicious, saying that his love will not be confused by the little devil's naval artillery.
It's just bragging, and it's not so bragging!
Not only him, but everyone else also looked at him with some suspicion. Even Qin Chuan's top boss, Han Xianyuan, the head of the 524 Regiment, was a little incredible. But he also believed that Qin Chuan would never lie and falsely report his exploits here, so his gaze at Qin Chuan at this time was very complicated.
"I see, eighty percent of them were beaten stupid by little devils! Their Ninth Company was the most fierce at that time, and when they were besieged by the little devils, they had already suffered a lot of casualties, and the whole company should add up to sixty or seventy people.
Such sixty or seventy people, killing an elite squadron and a squad of the little devil, and stabbing a Japanese squadron leader, he can't be regarded as bragging, he is simply telling mythological stories. Sun Changhui, the commander of the second battalion, immediately spoke up.
Hearing Sun Changhui's words, Zhu Chiqing cleared his throat, and then said: "Battalion Commander Sun, as far as I know, the two companies of your second battalion were on the flank of the ninth company at that time. Without notifying the Ninth Company, it withdrew from the battlefield without authorization, causing the flank of the Ninth Company to lose protection, and it was besieged by the Japanese army.
Even if this matter is stabbed to the master's seat, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain it. ”
Zhu Chi didn't have a good impression of this gentleman who Sun Yuanliang had forcibly placed in their 262 Brigade. In addition, he did not obey military orders on the battlefield outside Luodian and retreated without authorization. If it weren't for the fact that he had some relatives with the division commander Sun Yuanliang, Zhu Chi would have killed his heart.
