Chapter 622: Celebration Banquet (2) (Page 1/1)

As soon as it was dark, the celebration banquet at the military headquarters of the Fifth Army in Nantian Village was held as scheduled.

In the courtyard where the military headquarters of the Fifth Army is located, there is a lively celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of the Fifth Army in the Guinan Campaign, which is placed here, and the wide inner courtyard provides a sufficient venue area for the banquet; in the courtyard, four or five lamps and seven or eight oil lamps that rely on generators to supply power are hung in the courtyard, and the courtyard is brightly lit, and the Japanese planes have not patronized the vicinity of Kunlun Pass, where the Fifth Army is located, for several days, and the night light control of the military headquarters has obviously been somewhat lax and the degree of control has been reduced.

Of course, in order to prevent accidents, two Soviet-style antiaircraft machine guns were arranged next to the courtyard, and two Min-24 heavy machine guns were replaced with anti-aircraft tripods, forming a small anti-aircraft firing group, and the machine gunners were on alert to the air at any time.

Outside the courtyard, there are also soldiers of the special service battalion who are on guard, and the guards, heralds, and orderlies of the officers who come to the table are also waiting outside the hospital, gathered together, picked up the shell gun, 20 rings, and took into account the vigilance task, and guarded together with the soldiers of the special service battalion, the degree of vigilance outside the courtyard is not only not worse than before the celebration banquet, but stricter, and the solemn atmosphere outside the courtyard is in sharp contrast to the relaxed and busy in the hospital.

Five or six large tables have been set up in the courtyard, and dozens of officers and soldiers are busy working in the courtyard, all of them are soldiers and attachments of the military department, non-combat soldiers, on weekdays, they do not have to go to the battlefield to fight hard with devils, and they do not have to do the work of combatants and combat officers, but at this time, some of them are busy, soldiers and attachments are carrying stools, and if there are not enough stools, they will use ammunition boxes to make up, and there will be a set of cutlery, all of which are carried by the soldiers to the yard. Before the dishes are served, the taste comes first, and the yard is already full of the fragrance of vegetables.

On some tables, a small number of simple dishes have been placed, and hard dishes and main dishes are still simmering in more than a dozen large cauldrons of the military department's cooks.

The officers who participated in the celebration banquet had not yet arrived, only some of them came, these officers, in groups of three or five, divided into many small parts, talked to each other, chatting about what they had seen and learned from the battle, most of these officers were colonels and lieutenant colonels, and there were only one or two majors with the same rank as Zhang Wei, which belonged to rare animals.

As for the lieutenant officer? I'm sorry, there is no one here, at least so far, Zhang Wei has not seen any of them, but there are a few attachments with the rank of lieutenant in carrying things with the soldiers and carrying sundries, so to speak, the officers are basically Zhang Wei's commanders.

Some people are elated and talking, while some officers are quiet, with formulaic smiling faces to cater to and fro, and the attire and tone are not the same, there are those with loud voices and those who speak in a low voice.

In this lively conversation, a small group of officers, classmates, colleagues, comrades-in-arms, the combination of these interests and relationships are gradually revealed.

Zhang Wei, an officer who had just entered the system of the units directly under the Fifth Army, was wearing a newly issued regular uniform, with his Browning pistol pinned to his waist, replacing his old military uniform, taking off his steel helmet, wearing a bronze button issued by the military department, a military uniform of high-quality fabric, and a German-style hat.

Straightened up, stood by the courtyard gate, quietly watched all this, for him, just entered the personnel system directly under the army, life, the place is not very familiar, I don't know anything, Zhang Wei has really been in contact with the organs and units before, only the new 22nd Division headquarters, in addition, he has always been mixed with the big soldiers, feeling and rolling, Zhang Wei in personnel relations, although the relationship between people is not Bai Ding, but it is not a veteran, therefore, it is still necessary to be steady.

In short, for the sake of himself and the troops, it is better to keep a low profile, be careful, as a newcomer, as a newcomer, before the opening of the banquet, he is not only waiting, that is, waiting, watching the conversation of these officers in the courtyard, it is also a kind of learning and training.

"Captain Zhang, here."

Zhang Wei was standing quietly, and a slightly familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that this person was Tu Zongxi, the commander of the Fifth Army's special service battalion.

"Battalion Commander Tu." Zhang Wei gave Tu Zongxi a military salute, on military rank, Tu Zongxi is a lieutenant colonel, Zhang Wei's commander, in terms of period, he is a graduate of the seventh phase of the military academy, and he is an old senior who is three years higher than Zhang Wei.

Tu Zongxi also just broke away from the conversation of a small group, and looked at Zhang Wei with a smile: "What, I see that you have been standing here all the time, and you didn't go up to say hello to these chiefs?" ”

Zhang Wei said with a smile: "I'm just a big-headed major, or newly transferred, I don't know these chiefs, the chiefs are talking in groups, maybe it's some kind of secret, why go up and disturb the commanders' conversation." ”

"Well, it's not bad for you to think so, there will be more people for a while, among these people, there are military officers and staff officers, staff officers and staff, in charge of logistics, communications, baggage, in short, there are everyone, some know that it is good for you, some don't need it, it's enough to make a good impression, and they all know you as a person, but now I can't recognize you, it's not bad for you to stay like this, if they know that you are Zhang Wei later, Maybe I'll be eager to say a few words to you. Tu Zongxi said.

Zhang Wei nodded, understanding what Tu Zongxi meant, he was sent a report by Chief Du to the whole army, and most of the people in the army knew about himself and the teaching team, and his reputation seemed to be not low, after all, there were at least two devils in the brigade who helped Zhang Wei become famous.

"Thank you, sir."

Tu Zongxi said: "Okay, it's not me who mentioned it, it was the military seat that asked me to mention it, after a while, you follow me to sit at the same table with the military seat, remember!" ”

After speaking, Tu Zongxi patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder again and walked to the courtyard gate to greet the newly arrived officer.

Zhang Wei thought to himself, this celebration banquet is really not simple, Tu Zongxi came to say these two sentences to himself, making it clear that Chief Du asked him to come, Commander Du must have said something to Tu Zongxi, so he made this point, and also pointed out that after the banquet, he and the military commander sat at the same table, there must be a way in this.

"Whew"

Zhang Wei exhaled a breath of turbidity and shook his shoulders.

In the courtyard of the military headquarters, the number of officers entering the courtyard gradually increased, and the courtyard became more and more lively, and a celebration banquet to celebrate the victory of the battle gradually began.
