Chapter 313: Separation
------------
? "Sir Zhao, we were ordered to take over the defense" Just after breakfast, a second lieutenant with dozens of soldiers was sent to Zhao Zhi's position by several military vehicles. Zhao Zhi and the uncle beside him glanced at each other, and there was something in their eyes that I had expected to be like this, this was the third time that Zhao Zhi and them had transferred their positions this month.
It seems that the bigwigs in the headquarters have not forgotten Zhao Zhi and them, every time they change their positions, Zhao Zhi and them spend three days to reorganize and repair their positions, and spend two days baking anti-artillery holes and bunkers, plus two days of rest, and on the seventh day, there will be troops who will come to take over the defense, and they all have the command to adjust the defense without exception. These guys chose not to come to Zhao Zhi stubbornly, but to use Zhao Zhi and them as monkeys.
"Damn, if we continue like this, we will become an engineer company, you see, Lao Tzu's hands are the hands of artillerymen, not the hands of digging holes" The old cannon vented his dissatisfaction in front of Zhao Zhi. It is no wonder that after the direct company was transferred to the mud pit, the headquarters transferred the artillery under the old gunner, although it was Edward who led the team, but the old artillery was still not at ease, for fear that the headquarters would swallow up his subordinates like this.
Roger also left, and along with the foreign soldiers of the direct company, he was transferred to other units as tactical instructors, and the direct company was almost hollowed out, and there were only about 60 people left under Zhao Zhi. "Hurry up, otherwise we will sleep in the field tonight" Zhao Zhi rewarded the old cannon and urged the soldiers to quickly repair the trenches, no matter whether the headquarters will play the trick of adjusting the defense again, everyone can't sleep in the field.
As Zhao Zhi expected, after the direct company repaired this position, the headquarters came again, this time no longer to adjust the defense, but to transfer people. "Sir Zhao, my brother is just an errand boy, don't make it difficult for us" The second lieutenant who came to deliver the order tried his best to dodge the mud ball thrown by the old cannon, his military uniform had already been thrown by the old cannon several mud balls, and if he smashed it a few times, he would become a big mud ball.
The order sent by the headquarters this time was very clear, that is, to evacuate the soldiers in the direct company, and only leave almost all the officers to Zhao Zhi. Da Niu will take all the snipers to Roger's unit to report, they will be the main force in the Myitkyina battle, and the submachine gunners, riflemen and scouts are led by Yan Shijun, after joining dozens of veterans, they will become a company on their own, specializing in reconnaissance operations and target guidance for the attacking troops.
"Do well, you know what I mean" Zhao Zhi patted Yan Shijun on the shoulder, this young man had all his hopes on his body, it was time for him to fly solo. Zhao Zhi got close to Yan Shijun's ear and whispered, "If there is something that can't be solved, go to Edward or Wallace, they can help you." Cao Yan is a good girl, don't let her down, otherwise, your sister Qingqing won't be able to spare you. The brothers are all handed over to you, treat them well, and remember that only when you have great power can you take better care of them, so bear with all things."
Yan Shijun, who was hugged by Zhao Zhi's shoulder, had long been crying, before entering the direct company, he was just a student with ethereal ideals, and when he really met the Japanese army, he found that these ideals were not bullshit. War is cruel, there is no room for mercy, mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself and one's own robes, the only way to survive is to kill and wound as many enemies as quickly as possible, this is also the place where Yan Shijun was taught the most in his direct company.
What kind of person Zhao Zhi is, others don't know, but Yan Shijun is the person who knows him best, Yan Shijun from the initial herald to the last Zhao Zhi's personal adjutant, this time is nearly a year, this time is enough for Yan Shijun to mobilize all his brain cells to understand Zhao Zhi. Zhao Zhi seems to be domineering, but in fact, those are all words for enemies and opponents, but he is no different from his own family. He also scolded, and he would do it when he was in a hurry, but it was a family-like beating and scolding, and the guys in the direct battalion just ate this very much.
"Then you have to take care of yourself, I'll hide a box of cigars for you from the cook, don't be found by your aunts and grandmothers when you smoke" Yan Shijun was like a mother-in-law with a broken mouth, chattering at Zhao Zhi's house, and he couldn't wait to tell Zhao Zhi's clean socks one by one. Not only Yan Shijun, but Cao Yan, who was transferred away with Yan Shijun, was also hugging and crying at Yuan Qingqing, and Linda and several of her female soldiers were persuading her. The change of the direct company this time is really a bit big, and almost all of the people left behind are the doglegs who have followed Zhao Zhi for the longest time, and those potential young people under Zhao Zhi have been taken away.
"Don't cry, since you want to be with that guy, be prepared to part with us. You also know that Zhao Zhi has always been cultivating him as a successor, and now that he can finally lead a company by himself, you should be happy. Besides, the old guys in his company are all our own people, and you can do him a good favor as long as you help him hold those old brothers. Don't worry, Edward and Roger are also in the army attacking Myitkyina, if you are in trouble, you will send someone to find them" Yuan Qingqing wiped her tears with affection for Cao Yan, Cao Yan cried this is the first time, at least Yuan Qingqing is the first time they have seen it.
"It's going to be okay, it's going to be okay" Linda patted Cao Yan's vest and stuffed a small bag of animal skin into Cao Yan's hand, "There are some gems in this, Zhao Zhi gave them to the two of you, and the rich man will give you some gold bars later." This is all your chief's idea, you can't refuse, otherwise he will be sad" Linda stopped Cao Yan's action of wanting to return the animal skin bag, and patiently put the animal skin bag into Cao Yan's pocket. Yan Shijun and they want to be transferred out of the direct company, they can't count on the money in Kunming, Zhao Zhi can only give them as many gold bars and gems as possible, so as to leave a way out for these brothers who left, and to make himself feel better.
"Sir, don't worry, I will take my brothers well, we will not forget that we are soldiers of the direct company" Da Niu came to say goodbye to Zhao Zhi with his sniper rifle on his back. This guy who followed Zhao Zhi through a vicious battle is still so bad at words, such a wooden person would actually be the person with the best marksmanship in the direct company, no one would believe it. In the words of Uncle Guo, it is because Da Niu is too wooden in some aspects that he has a sharper talent for shooting than others.
Zhao Zhi pulled the big bull and walked side by side with him, and whispered, "Remember, you are just snipers, and the positional charge has nothing to do with you." Roger is a very good commander, although he has a bigger temper, but overall it is not bad, you go to Roger, remember to watch more and listen less talk. Roger's new tactics, you have to study them very carefully, they will always experiment with some new weapons and tactics when they are fighting, these are all things that can save your lives, you must learn them well, and save your lives and the lives of your brothers."
The same animal skin bag was put into the hands of the big cow, and the big cow was not allowed to shirk, Zhao Zhi stuffed the small bag into the big cow's pocket, "You are all snipers, I believe that Roger will not treat you badly, but you are long-range attackers, compared to those guys who fought with the Japanese army at close range, you have a lot less opportunities to get loot, these are for the brothers." Later, the rich man will give him some gold bars, and you have to collect them, it is the money that the brothers will support their families in the future, and each of you will have it."
Yan Shijun and Da Niu, Zhao Zhi is most worried about Da Niu, this guy is not good at words, and he can't tell lies and pat Shangguan's ass, fortunately, he was transferred to Roger's troops, if he was replaced by other troops, Zhao Zhi would never agree to Da Niu's transfer from the direct company. Fortunately, they are only snipers and will become a separate team directly under Roger's command, so to a certain extent, they avoid the possible friction between Da Niu and other commanders, which is one of the reasons why Zhao Zhi agreed to Da Niu's transfer.
It's not that Zhao Zhi doesn't worry about Yan Shijun, it's just that he is much less worried than Da Niu, Zhao Zhi and their private loot thing, Yan Shijun has been involved in some of it, so the rich man's set of things, Yan Shijun has already learned, according to his character, he will definitely copy Zhao Zhi's practice to get some benefits for his brothers, and the few young officers brought out by Zhao Zhi personally have all gone to Yan Shijun's company, at least the officers like the platoon commander will be his own people. If Yan Shijun, who is regarded as Zhao Zhi's successor, can't control his own troops, it will really live up to Zhao Zhi's expectations.
For the transfer of Yan Shijun and Da Niu, Zhao Zhi gathered all the weapons together, selected the best weapons and handed them to Yan Shijun and Da Niu, although they will have new weapons after the transfer, but Zhao Zhi still insists on using their original weapons It will be better. During this time, the wild animals brought by the goats and the skins left after slaughtering mules and horses had long been made into leather mattresses by the uncle of the country, which was originally used for everyone to camp in the wilderness. Now that they are going to be transferred, Zhao Zhi handed over these leather mattresses to them, and the remaining dozen or so people will not need them anyway.
"Chief Zhao, you see it's not too early, do you want them to hurry up and get in the car? These trucks are still waiting" The person in charge of the team who led the team to pick up people was a little anxious, it had been three hours since Zhao Zhi received the order, and these people had not finished saying goodbye, if they continued like this, they would definitely be punished if they went back. So this second lieutenant had the courage to ask, Zhao Zhi was notoriously difficult to get along with, and he was afraid that he would be hung up and beaten by Zhao Zhi.
"Get out, if you don't get out, I'll pull out your teeth" A broken military boot stained with mud and water smashed hard on the second lieutenant's back, it was an old cannon, and the old cannon with bare feet was taking off his other military boot, obviously, he wanted to use this military boot to smash this young lieutenant who was not long-eyed. The direct company is already facing the end of being split, and everyone just needs some time to say goodbye, so the second lieutenant picked this to urge Zhao Zhi, which is obviously a big taboo. The clay man is also a little angry, not to mention the old cannon with the biggest temper, just throwing him with military boots is already good, if the old cannon still has Bazooka in hand, I'm afraid those trucks will turn into fireballs.
"Forget it, they are also running errands, why bother with them" Zhao Zhi waved his hand to stop the old cannon, "You all get in the car, you must say goodbye after a thousand miles of send-off, how can there be a banquet in the world, you all go, remember my words, you have to live well" Zhao Zhi was turned around with just a few words, and he didn't look at Yan Shijun and them again, but his somewhat lonely figure had already betrayed himself. Zhao Zhi, who can speak well, suddenly didn't know what he should say, maybe because of the separation, the brothers who were opposite to him were about to leave him, which made Zhao Zhi more or less sad and unacceptable, so Zhao Zhilin finally chose to escape.
"Take care, sir" Every soldier who passed by Zhao Zhi would say the same thing, and Zhao Zhi's back immediately began to be a little rickety, and his shoulders began to shake rhythmically. Uncle Guo and they confronted each other, and they didn't have to guess that Zhao Zhi was crying, but he couldn't help himself from crying. The dog and the steamed bun wanted to help Zhao Zhi, but he stopped them, and he didn't let everyone, including Yuan Qingqing and Linda, get close to him.
"Sir, what you taught us, we all remember, and will never forget, everyone has it, salute" Yan Shijun, who was streaked with tears on his face, gave an order, and the soldiers who were about to leave straightened up and saluted Zhao Zhi's back neatly. Since they joined the direct company, Zhao Zhi has not let them stand in line and salute, so each of them has different movements, and even some people's movements can be said to be non-standard, but this does not offset the convincing and eagerness in their eyes when they look at Zhao Zhi.
"Let's go, let's go" Zhao Zhi didn't turn back, just raised his arm and shook it lonely, and before Yan Shijun and them got into the car, Zhao Zhi went down to the trench alone. When he went down the trench, Zhao Zhi even fell, but no one laughed at him, in fact, everyone was staring at his back. Pity, sympathy, and pain, this is the expression that everyone showed when they looked at Zhao Zhi, the blow to Zhao Zhi from the split of the direct company was too great, so that Zhao Zhi couldn't bear it anymore, and those people in the headquarters were too ruthless, and they punished Zhao Zhi directly from the root.
Dealing with a guy like Zhao Zhi, confinement or demotion can't hurt him at all, the best way is to take away the things Zhao Zhi cares about the most--- those brothers he regards as family. Obviously, those guys have done it, they have already knocked out Zhao Zhi, and they have already made Zhao Zhi a little out of control. "Go, remember what your commander told you, you must live well" Yuan Qingqing took Zhao Zhi's place to send Yan Shijun and them to the truck, and took the rest of the officers to see them off. ~
