Waking up from his dream again, Zhao Shixun sat up and wiped the sweat from his head.

Habitually touched the cold and familiar body of the box gun on the side of the pillow, and a familiar sense of security arose.

I got out of bed and came to the water tank in front of the door, opened the bamboo mat and scooped some water with a gourd water scoop, raised my head and poured a breath.

Accompanied by the well water, a cold body hit him, making Zhao Shixun finally feel that his five internal organs temple had calmed down.

Glancing at the darkness outside the broken window, Zhao Shixun pushed the door open.

It was dawn, but it didn't seem to be bright, because there was no morning sun in sight, but overnight, the sky suddenly turned gray, and everything was obscured by thick dark clouds.

Seeing Zhao Shixun walking out, Shao Fei, who was chopping firewood in the yard, hurriedly ran over.

"Company commander, you're up, I'll bring you back breakfast, I'll go hot up."

Waving his hand, Zhao Shixun stopped Shao Fei.

"You don't need to heat it, just bring it to me. The old immortal they set off? ”

"Well, I left as soon as it was dawn, and Brother Heiwa followed with a dozen soldiers. Brother Wu asked me to tell you that he invited a yin and yang and used an extra twenty catties of grain. ”

"yes, I see."

Glancing at the end of the distant line of sight, under the hazy sky, the mountains clustered a faint mountain road, winding and undulating, without this end and without that, because both ends of the road were lost in the gray ethereal.

"Get me a bucket, I want to take a shower."

I don't know why, the irritability that I just suppressed has a tendency to recur, Zhao Shixun ripped off the torn coat on his body, and walked towards the well in the courtyard in a few steps.

Last night, a sixteen-year-old wounded man who had been talking nonsense finally swallowed his breath.

When the child was sober, he kept saying a few words repeatedly. He said that his own family had been poor for generations, and his parents and sisters had starved to death.

He participated in the Eighth Route just to be able to have a full meal, and now his only wish is to be buried in a better place and have a coffin when he dies.

He didn't want to roll a bamboo mat and bury it like his parents and sisters, so he felt that he would still suffer from poverty for the rest of his life......

The old immortal guarded him until he swallowed, and finally sighed often.

After returning to the house at night, the old immortal found Zhao Shixun and asked him not to tell Zhou Yu. I plan to buy coffins for my two dead brothers, and then find them a yin and yang house to choose a yin house to fulfill ......the wishes of the dead brothers.

……

After more than a month of repair, most of the wounded of the Pioneer Regiment recovered and returned to the team, which allowed the regiment to finally recover some of its combat effectiveness.

At the same time, in view of the fact that the pioneer regiment has made great contributions to the brigade and even the division, even the headquarters organs have given the brigade a commendation order. In order to make up for the huge losses suffered by the pioneer regiment, the division deliberately replenished 150 recruits who had completed training in the rear to the vanguard regiment.

After the arrival of the new recruits, all companies of the regiment brought people to the playground outside the regimental headquarters to assemble.

In the afternoon, the regiment commander, whose face was slightly pale in the sun, limped onto the rostrum with a crutch.

Glancing at the hundreds of soldiers gathered in the audience, Lei Wancheng threw the crutches in his hand aside.

"Stand upright, take a break!"

"Comrades! Standing in front of you are the new soldiers who have been specially supplemented for us by the division in order to reward the merits of our vanguard regiment. From today on, they are our brothers in life and death, comrades who fight side by side.

Let's come first and welcome new comrades! ”

After warm applause, Lei Wancheng continued:

"The issue of the distribution of recruits has been carefully discussed in the regiment. It is a fact that in the last battle, the whole regiment suffered heavy losses, and it is also a fact that the number of replenishment troops was insufficient. So no matter how many points each company has today, I hope everyone doesn't have any ideas, understand! ”

Tiger eyes swept over the soldiers on the field, and Ti Wancheng deliberately glanced at the soldiers of the seventh company.

"Okay, Lao Tzu is not feeling well today, so I won't talk nonsense here, and the specific distribution matters will be explained to you by the political commissar."

After the regiment commander left, political commissar Jiang Hongfei quickly assigned the new fighters to various teams. Not surprisingly, Yang Chenghu, the commander of the special service battalion, was going to leave 80 of them.

There's no way, who let the whole group count him with the biggest face and the loudest voice.

As soon as the recruits arrived, Yang Chenghu even led the troops to stand on the playground of the regiment headquarters early, and the sixty soldiers under him who were fully armed lined up in two rows occupied the most conspicuous position on the playground. In the name of maintaining order, it actually means that no one wants to rob Lao Tzu.

For this kind of distribution, it is not all due to Yang Chenghu's face. In terms of personnel allocation, Lei Wancheng and the political commissar agreed on their opinions.

Because the losses of the first battalion in the last battle were too large, accounting for half of the number of casualties, and Han Weimin was still recuperating from his wounds, after discussion, the regiment decided not to assign combat missions to the first battalion in a short period of time, so it did not plan to replenish the first battalion with new soldiers.

The current task of the first battalion is still to continue the recruitment and training of new recruits.

Although the losses of the second, third, and even seventh companies were not small, they were still much smaller than those of the special service battalion.

Moreover, at present, the special service battalion is the strongest fist of the vanguard regiment, the combat mission is also the heaviest, and the defense area is also the largest. Therefore, for these new fighters who can quickly form combat effectiveness, the opinion of the regiment is that steel should be used on the blade, and the strength should be concentrated and used.

After the special battalion took the people, the rest of the group was fair. After leaving the regimental headquarters to leave ten people, the remaining seven, second, and third companies were divided into twenty people each.

After the distribution of recruits, the commissar did not dismiss the troops, but read out a commendation order in front of everyone.

"Comrades! Not long ago, the Seventh Company brilliantly completed the operation to eradicate the traitor Qin Hai, and gave a large number of casualties to the Japanese puppet army in Hengqu County, effectively striking at the deterrent enemy.

In this battle, the Seventh Company annihilated more than 60 puppet army spies and 13 Japanese soldiers. Eighty-one long and short guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition were seized. For this reason, the regiment headquarters decided to record the collective first-class merit of the entire seventh company once and report it to the brigade headquarters! ”

The words were closed, and political commissar Jiang Hongfei took the lead in applauding.

In the applause, hearing that their company had been commended, the soldiers of the seventh company puffed up their chests proudly. The newly assigned fighters are even more honored. When the soldiers of other companies on the playground heard about the achievements of the Seventh Company, they were once again impressed by the Seventh Company.

"Wow...... this Seventh Company is too powerful. It's amazing. ”

"Yes, this is a war of annihilation, I heard that they only went to a few dozen people in total."

Hearing about the achievements of the Seventh Company, Yang Chenghu glanced at Zhao Shixun who was smiling next to him with a little surprise, and then looked at the soldiers beside him, and snorted coldly in his heart.

"Isn't it just that I beat a few puppet army spies, what a miracle!."

"Next, Staff Officer Xue will read out a handling opinion."

As soon as the political commissar's words fell, just as everyone was talking, Xue Liqun, a staff officer of the vanguard regiment, straightened his army hat and walked up with a cold face.

"Comrades! Our Eighth Route Army is a disciplined unit and a unit that obeys the party's command. Since ancient times, there must be rewards and punishments for governing the army, so no one is exempt! Not even if you have a lot of merit! ”

Looking at the soldiers on the field, Xue Liqun raised his voice and continued:

"In this battle, because Comrade Zhao Shixun, commander of the Seventh Company, and Comrade Zhou Yu, the instructor, mobilized troops to attack without asking for instructions, although the results were great, they violated discipline first, and the impact was extremely bad.

In order to educate the vast number of cadres and fighters, we must strictly enforce military discipline. After discussion, the regiment headquarters decided to give Comrade Zhao Shixun, the commander of the seventh company, a major punishment, and Comrade Zhou Yu, the instructor of the seventh company, an intra-party warning punishment. ”

"Comrades, thanks to everyone's hard work, the form of development of our base area can be described as very good. But as the saying goes, arrogant soldiers will be defeated, the more victorious the moment, the more we must be vigilant and strict with ourselves, understand! ”

Regarding Staff Officer Xue's speech, the soldiers on the field had mixed reactions.

The soldiers of the Seventh Company were obviously a little confused, first rewarding and then punishing, what the hell is going on. The big pillar struggled to say something, but was pulled down by the old immortal.

I didn't know what was going on, so I chose to default.

As for the special service battalion, it has an attitude of watching a good show. Especially Yang Chenghu, with a clear expression from Lao Tzu, it is obvious that this kid usually does not work less.

After the reading, Zhao Shixun didn't say anything. I didn't plan to ask for any awards, but now that the merits and demerits are offset, it is nothing for myself.

Besides, Zhao Shixun didn't care about a major demerit.

Don't live with your head on your belt every day, a verbal punishment is really nothing.

Regarding the matter of transferring troops privately, whether it is the national army or the communist army, Zhao Shixun knows that it is the same everywhere, and the punishment is absolutely not negotiable.

There's no way, I don't have a radio, and I don't have time. Although you can't afford to fight, you can only carry it on your back if you have a punishment.

Although the national army has done a relatively good job in this regard, it has been slow to act, and missing fighter planes is also a major reason why the national army often suffers defeats.

After the reading, Zhao Shixun was called to the regiment headquarters, and after chatting with him for a few words, he signed a note for him to go to the quartermaster office to receive three boxes of grenades and 300 rounds of ammunition.

The capture of the last battle, except for a small part of the old immortal, most of the capture was handed over to the regiment by Zhao Shixun.

Entering the countryside and following the customs, Zhao Shixun didn't want to break the rules of others.

With the commendation order from the superiors, it is not easy for the regiment to pull out a dime. The funds for the money group are so small, except for the money to buy food, there is no superfluity, and it is even more impossible to give it to people.

In addition to the wounded, there were only a few people in the regiment.

The only way, and the most practical, is to reward weapons and ammo.

After all, it is said that there are 10,000 ways and 10,000, and the biggest reliance on soldiers on the battlefield is weapons and ammunition, and everything else is false.
