Chapter Twenty-Nine: Bloody Bright Ridge (I)
The night was very quiet, and only the sound of snoring was left in the Qian Mansion compound.
The night was very long, Li Siwei couldn't sleep anymore when he woke up, and gently touched the thick booklet in his arms, his heart was heavy, this booklet registered the information of his brothers, and it also represented his commitment.
Although Li Siwei called himself the "major battalion commander" along the way, he also knew in his heart that his battalion commander was only promoted by the firing line, and the fat regiment commander who promoted himself had died in Yuhuatai...... Can this battalion commander be recognized from above?
Although Li Siwei is not an official fan, he has to worry about this issue now. After all, he is still followed by these two hundred and fifty-six brothers, and he can't let them follow him without even having a name, right?
The morning light dispelled the night, and the light set woke up from its deep sleep, and Li Siwei walked out of the room with two dark eyes.
In the courtyard, Wei Yidao and a few brothers were preparing breakfast, which was still fragrant broth. The other brothers were still sleeping, and they were all very tired from the journey.
Wei Yidao saw Li Siwei come out, so he came over with a smile, "Sir, what are you doing so early?" Squint a little longer. ”
Li Siwei looked at him and said with a smile: "You turtle boiled the soup so fragrantly, where can Lao Tzu still sleep." ”
Wei Yidao smiled wryly, "Sir, aren't we running away?" Eat early and leave early......"
Li Siwei glared at him and scolded with a smile: "Who told you that you have to run away?" ”
Wei was stunned and said excitedly: "Don't run away?" Are you going to do another little devil business? ”
Li Siwei smiled, "It depends...... After all, we are back in the war zone, and what are we going to do, we have to wait for orders from above. ”
"Oh," Wei replied with a sneer, "how comfortable we are to do ourselves......
Li Siwei smiled bitterly and shook his head, "We are fighting guerrillas, that's why we are fighting so well, but fighting guerrillas can't change the overall situation...... After all, we are the national army, and we have the responsibility of defending the territory, and we can have thousands of our compatriots in the rear, and you are willing to watch their homes burned down by devils......"
"How can it?" Wei Yidao hurriedly shook his head, his face slightly red, "It's just...... Those two battles were fought too comfortably...... Having eliminated so many little devils, our brothers did not suffer many casualties. ”
Li Siwei nodded and sighed: "Yes, if you win, you can fight, and if you can't win, you can run, so that you can not only destroy the devil but also preserve your strength, but ...... If they all want to preserve their strength, who will stop the little devils? ”
"Oh," Wei nodded understandingly.
Li Siwei said with a smile: "A knife, we will definitely fight hard if we stay and fight hard with the little devils, but we are defending the country." ”
Wei Yidao's spirits perked up, "Sir, I understand!" I'd rather be a ghost who died in battle than a slave who died in the country! If we can't win, we run, and if we all run, won't we lose our country? ”
Li Siwei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "By the way, we are the national army!" ”
At this moment, a small car stopped outside the courtyard gate, and an officer jumped out of the car and walked straight in.
Li Siwei hurriedly greeted him, "Brother, which one are you looking for?" ”
The officer saluted him and said with a smile: "Sir, don't you remember your humble position?" ”
Li Siwei stared at him up and down, and slapped his forehead, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm dizzy all the way, Company Commander Jiang, thanks to you last night, the brothers were able to sleep well, who are you?" ”
The person who came was the company commander Jiang who met at the outpost last night, and he smiled: "The commander heard about the commander, let me take you to the headquarters for a meeting." ”
"Oh," Li Siwei heard this, and hurriedly smiled: "Okay, I'm about to visit the commander." As he spoke, he busily straightened his clothes.
When Li Siwei arrived at the Guangming Garrison Headquarters, there were already many people gathered in the conference room, most of them were ragged and haggard like him, and they were all officers who had been defeated from the Nanjing battlefield.
Company Commander Jiang walked in with Li Siwei, beckoned everyone to sit down, and then went into the back hall.
In a few moments, a dignified major general officer came out of the back hall, the major general was about forty years old, with a burly figure and a resolute countenance, and he walked to the main seat, and an officer followed closely behind him, holding a folder in his hand.
The crowd hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The major general looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Guan was ordered to guard the Guangming Collection, but his troops were limited, so he had to bring his brothers here...... Have a seat. ”
After everyone sat down, the officer behind him opened the folder and read aloud: "Fifth Theater Command Order: The commander of the Guangming Garrison is hereby granted the right to make decisions on the spot, to contain the soldiers of the scattered divisions, and to reorganize them on the spot......"
The officer stepped aside after reading the order, and General Guan looked around at everyone and said slowly: "Shangfeng's order, everyone must have understood it, and I hope you will fully cooperate." ”
Everyone agreed in unison, "Obey the general's order!" ”
General Guan nodded, "Guangming Ji, located at the throat of Jinpu, is the last barrier in the war zone south of the Huai River, and there is no room for ......."
When Li Siwei returned to the Qianfu compound, everyone was eating, and when they saw him come in, Liao Heiniu hurriedly greeted him, "Cannon, what's wrong?" ”
"What can I do?" Li Siwei glanced at him expressionlessly, "It has been absorbed, and it is temporarily organized into the third regiment and one battalion of the sixty-sixth division." ”
Liao Heiniu was stunned for a moment, happy, "This is a good thing......"
Li Siwei sighed, "But...... Forget it, let's talk about it when you're full. ”
Liao Heiniu grabbed him, "You turtle is halfway through talking, which one still has the heart to eat, what's wrong?" ”
Li Siwei looked at him and sighed, "The heavy weapons we have captured must be handed over and deployed by the garrison headquarters ......."
Liao Heiniu was stunned, "What is this?" Pay it, pay it, it's a big deal for Lao Tzu to grab ...... again"
Li Siwei kicked him in the thigh with a "snap", and scolded with a smile: "Do you think the little devil is stupid, you say you will rob it?" ”
"Hehe," Liao Heiniu smiled wryly, "Aren't you a turtle with a lot of eyes?" ”
Do you say that Li Siwei is really struggling with these cannons? It's just what he played for everyone to see. In his opinion, these things were all snatched back by the brothers desperately, and they were handed over like this, can they be willing? However, seeing Liao Heiniu's reaction, he felt that he seemed to be too worried.
Sure enough, when the reorganization order came down, no one was in a mood, but everyone was a little excited. Li Siwei couldn't understand it, and he didn't bother to think about it, because a new battle was about to start, and he had to reorganize this team as soon as possible.
These brothers are all veterans of a hundred battles, and they have saved a lot of things, but there is one thing that cannot be saved, that is, the appointment of company and platoon-level officers, which is precisely the most difficult thing for Li Siwei.
After all, it is only the establishment of a battalion, and there are only a few places for officers...... In his previous life, he had heard that everyone in many units fought to the death for a cadre quota! He didn't want to break people's hearts apart because of such a thing.
Ning Rou saw him sitting in the living room frowning in a daze, so she walked over, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Siwei glanced at her and said with a wry smile: "The above asked me to appoint the officers in the battalion by myself, but ......"
"Oh," Ning Rou smiled when she heard this, "Are you afraid that they will fight for power?" ”
Li Siwei nodded lightly, "It's a little embarrassing." ”
"What's so hard about that?" Ning Rou said with a smile, "Although they all came together halfway, they also fought two battles, and everyone also saw everyone's performance, as long as you level out a bowl of water, no one will complain." ”
"Okay," Li Siwei got up and walked out of the living room when he heard this.
Li Siwei stood on the steps and cleared his throat, "Brothers, stop for a while and come over for a meeting." ”
Everyone gathered in the courtyard, Liao Heiniu looked at Li Siwei and smiled: "What kind of fame are you doing?" Going to war? ”
Li Siwei glanced at him and said slowly: "The order for reorganization has come down...... However, there is also something that makes Lao Tzu very difficult. ”
Everyone was stunned, "What's the matter?" ”
Li Siwei cleared his throat, "The team is pulled up, there must be an organization and discipline, right?" Shangfeng asked me to appoint the company platoon commander by myself, but this is not easy to do......"
Everyone was stunned, looked at each other, and Shi Meng smiled and said, "Sir, what's so difficult about this?" You are appointed, who dares not to listen? ”
Li Siwei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Lao Tzu can only appoint three company commanders, but why does Lao Tzu think that you can all be company commanders?" ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they were all happy.
Liao Heiniu said with a smile: "Cannon, you Gui'er and your brothers will fight a few more victories, and when you become a military commander and a commander, your brothers will be able to be company commanders......"
The crowd burst into laughter, "That's it, that's it." ”
Li Siwei was also happy, he didn't say anything to make everyone's ass, many of them used to be company platoon commanders, and if they were put into those supplementary and repaired troops, they could be promoted to one or two levels.
Lu Sen smiled: "Sir, don't be embarrassed...... Wouldn't you be an official and wouldn't you fight devils? ”
"Yes, yes," the crowd chimed in.
"Okay," Li Siwei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Then I'll nominate it, and if you agree, raise your hand." ”
"Yes," the group nodded their heads in excitement, for this was the first time they had heard that the appointment of an officer required everyone's consent.
Li Siwei cleared his throat, "Now, I will appoint Shi Meng as the commander of a company...... The brothers who agreed all raised their hands. ”
"Boom......" All of a sudden, everyone's hands were raised.
Li Siwei was stunned for a moment and nodded, "Okay, pass it all...... Liu Heishui, the commander of the second company. ”
"Boom......" Everyone raised their hands again.
Li Siwei was stunned for a moment, but saw Liu Heishui shouting, "Sir, I think Liao Heiniu is more suitable than me to be the commander of this company......"
Li Siwei shook his head, "Since the brothers all agree, then you are the commander of the second company." ”
"This ......" Liu Heishui still refused.
Li Siwei interrupted him with a wave of his hand and continued: "The commander of the third company, Liao Heiniu. ”
"Boom ......" is all passed again.
"Okay," Li Siwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "The company commander has been decided, and the next step is the platoon commander......
The whole process went smoothly beyond Li Siwei's expectations, which made him secretly relieved and in a good mood, so he said: "Wei Yidao, make something good for the brothers at noon, celebrate." ”
"Yes," Wei Yidao is now the leader of the cooking squad, and he also has more than a dozen people under his hands.
This matter was settled, and Li Siwei recruited a group of company platoon commanders into the living room.
"Brothers," Li Siwei beckoned everyone to sit down and sighed, "I know that this appointment may be unfair to some people...... Lu Sen, you used to be a company commander, but now you can only be a platoon commander, I hope you don't have any ideas......"
The forest barbarian hurriedly stood up, staring at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, "Sir, don't say this again...... Think of those commanders who died in battle, Lao Tzu is happy! At least I'm still alive, much better than them...... Besides, if you can't win the battle, what's the point of being a military commander for Lao Tzu? ”
"The forest barbarian is right," Wei Zheng also stood up, "Sir, as long as I can win the battle, I am happy to let me be a small soldier." ”
"Yes," the crowd chimed in.
Li Siwei's face was hot, and he was secretly ashamed, yes, are there still fewer generals who died on the battlefield? Not to mention the school officers and company platoon commanders at all levels, once the battle starts, regardless of officers and soldiers, they are all desperate!
"Brothers, it's Lao Tzu who is too careful," Li Siwei's heart was hot, and he stood up suddenly, "From now on, Lao Tzu will no longer spend his mind on these messy things, and will wholeheartedly lead his brothers to fight and win the war." ”
"Okay," everyone stood up, "fight the devil and win the battle!" ”
The little devil came much later than everyone expected, but Li Siwei and the others rested peacefully for two days.
In the past two days, new military uniforms have been issued, new epaulettes, and new badges, heralding a new beginning.
Li asked Ning Rou to help remake a roster, and the little girl's font was beautiful, which was very pleasing to the eye.
Ning Rou is now a military health officer, and Li Siwei helped her get a second lieutenant rank to hang on, temporarily acting as her own clerk.
In the afternoon of that day, the order from the garrison headquarters also came down, and Li Siwei led the team to the new defensive line, the Guangmingling position in the southern suburbs.
Guangming Ridge is the highland of the southern suburbs of Guangmingji, which stretches for more than ten miles from east to west, just choking the highway leading to Chuzhou, which is a natural barrier of Guangmingji.
Li Siwei looked around at the terrain and smiled at Liao Heiniu: "It's a pity, it's a pity......"
Liao Heiniu smiled: "What's the pity? The others also looked at Li Siwei suspiciously.
Li Siwei said with a smile: "If this is in the summer, dozens of barrels of gasoline can burn the little devils in this mountain forest." ”
"Hehe," the crowd burst into laughter.
Li Siwei waited for them to finish laughing, looked around at everyone and said, "This is a tough battle......
Everyone laughed and said, "If it's a tough battle, it's hard to fight." ”
Li Siwei nodded, turned around and shouted, "Huanghua." ”
"Sir," Huang Hua ran over, he had already cut his long hair and changed into a new military uniform, and he was in a lot more energetic.
Li Siwei said: "You come with me." ”
"Where to go?" Huang Hua was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was eager to try.
Everyone was also stunned and looked at Li Siwei one after another.
Li Siwei smiled slightly: "What is the best defense?" ”
Everyone looked confused, and Wei Zheng hesitated: "Attack? ”
"That's right," Li Siwei nodded and smiled slightly, "You can't sit still." ”
