Chapter 334: Sharing Joys and Sorrows
After the two sides shook hands and greeted politely, the battalion commander Lu Xing led Yang Ling and them to a brick-built courtyard to arrange to stay. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Deputy Head Yang, this courtyard has just been vacated, if you feel that you are not satisfied with living here, I will let someone change it."
Although the courtyard arranged by Lu Xing was spacious and bright, he was still worried in his heart, worried that Yang Ling would not be satisfied.
After all, he is the new deputy head of the regiment, once he doesn't take care of himself, and when the time comes, he will put on small shoes, and he really has no place to reason.
"Battalion Commander Lu, I don't pay so much attention to it, compared to sleeping in the dead pile on the battlefield, I don't know how many times better here, I will live here, but my brothers have to trouble you to help arrange a place to live."
Although Yang Ling's words were casual, Lu Xing's good impression of Yang Ling increased a little more.
Yang Ling's gestures and gestures revealed the military style invisibly narrowed the distance between them and Lu Xing, and they respected the commanders who had been on the battlefield.
"Deputy Head Yang, don't worry, I have already arranged it."
Although Lu Xing was the commander of the first battalion, since the regiment commander was removed from his post in Nanjing, Ji Hongru, the deputy regiment commander in charge of the command, was seriously injured and lay in the hospital, and the staff officers and regimental attachments of the regiment headquarters also died when they broke through, and they were crippled, so he temporarily took charge of the big mess of the 301st regiment.
Now that the new deputy head of the regiment has arrived, although the order says that he is only the temporary deputy head of the regiment, Lu Xing still does not dare to slack off, and arranges everything in an orderly manner, which makes Yang Ling also very satisfied.
"Deputy Head Yang, you clean up first, I'll go and prepare the lunch meal first, and wash the dust for you." After Lu Xing arranged for Yang Ling and them to stay, he was ready to say goodbye and leave.
Yang Ling hurriedly called out to the battalion commander of the major, Lu Xing, and said, "There is no need to deliberately prepare, I will eat whatever the brothers eat."
"Then how can you do it, you are the deputy regiment commander...... Lu Xing was very embarrassed, the company platoon commanders of their 74th Army all had their own small stoves, how could Yang Ling, a deputy regiment commander, eat with the big head soldiers.
Yang Ling has always eaten and lived with his brothers, and the advantage of this is obvious, that is, he can shorten the distance with the grassroots soldiers, and he doesn't want to make an exception because he temporarily becomes the deputy commander.
Seeing that Lu Xing didn't understand, Yang Ling's tone softened, and he explained earnestly: "Battalion Commander Lu, we can only be officers if the brothers share weal and woe on weekdays and take the lead in battles, so that we can get the support of the brothers, and our troops can be more combat......
Yang Ling's words were true, and Lu Xing was also deeply touched, the officers in the army opened small stoves, ate empty quotas, and deducted military salaries, which has always existed, causing officers and soldiers to deviate from morality, which is also an important reason why the combat effectiveness cannot be improved.
"In the future, we will gradually change this bad habit, only if we officers and soldiers share weal and woe, work with one heart and one mind, and twist into a rope, we will not worry about not being able to win the battle."
"Yes!" Lu Xing answered loudly.
Because of Yang Ling's insistence, the first meal for him was temporarily changed to the third battalion and one company.
Although Yang Ling temporarily acted as the deputy commander of the 301st Regiment, he was also the commander of the third battalion, and he chose to eat in the third battalion because he wanted to take the opportunity to learn about the current situation in the battalion.
The third battalion of the 301st Regiment fought fiercely in Nanjing, and only more than 150 brothers broke through the entire battalion alive, two chief and deputy battalion commanders were killed, and one of the six chief and deputy company commanders survived, Wang Meng.
"Company commander, is our deputy regiment commander really coming to our company for dinner?"
The cooking squad leader heard that Yang Ling's first meal was going to be eaten by them, which was the first time in the world, so he hurriedly went to ask the captain and company commander Wang Meng about the situation.
Captain and company commander Wang Meng was originally resistant to Yang Ling, the commander of the airborne, and when they came to this regiment, the commanders they loved were dead and wounded, and Yang Ling suddenly parachuted in, and there was a feeling of taking advantage of the danger of others.
Second, what made the captain and company commander Wang Meng uncomfortable was that it was related to his own interests, it stands to reason that the officers of these three battalions have all been wiped out, whether it is combat exploits or qualifications, he, the only captain and company commander, is the best choice for the new battalion commander.
But now that Yang Ling suddenly arrived, he not only temporarily replaced the deputy commander of the 301st Regiment, but also robbed him of the position of the commander of the third battalion, so he was panicked and unconvinced by Yang Ling.
Wang Meng snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid he came to eat for others to see, and he won't last long, so you can do more for the time being."
The cooking squad leader said: "Company commander, after all, he is the deputy regiment commander, and the first time he comes to our company for dinner, we can't cook too cold, right?"
"As you do on a daily basis, don't pay attention to him, I want to see how he eats." Wang Meng sincerely wants to make Yang Ling ugly, don't you want to put on a show, then I'll make you ugly.
The officers in the regiment all have small stoves for food, Wang Meng doesn't believe that Yang Ling, an officer who is used to eating small stoves, can swallow their coarse tea and light rice, Yang Ling came to them to eat, that is, he lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot.
What Wang Meng didn't know was that when Yang Ling's big head soldiers came all the way, when they were fighting in Shanghai and Nanjing, the conditions were difficult, and it was common to eat multigrain cakes every day, eat salted rice, eat potatoes to fill their stomachs, and endure hunger, so the little Jiujiu in his heart was destined to miscalculate.
Although the 74th Army is not as good as the main force of the German Armament Division, it is also the third batch of adjusted troops, and it is also working hard in Shanghai and Nanjing, so it is contained and repaired in Bengbu, and the food is also good.
At the time of the meal, Yang Ling really arrived at the cooking class of the third battalion with the new orderly Huzi and the accompanying first battalion commander Lu Xing to prepare for dinner.
In the astonished eyes of the only remaining 150 brothers in the third battalion, Yang Ling sat down on a stool in the courtyard of the cooking class, and Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion, also sat down next to him.
Captain company commander Wang Meng waved his hand to the cooking squad leader, and the cooking squad leader understood, and put it on the table with gruel and a basket of steamed buns.
Lu Xing, the commander of the first battalion, saw the steamed buns and gruel that were served, and immediately frowned, he had already greeted Wang Meng in advance, saying that Yang Ling was going to come over for dinner and asked them to prepare well, but what was the matter with this gruel steamed buns.
"Company Commander Wang, what's going on? Deputy Head Yang came over for dinner, and you prepared this? Lu Xing couldn't sit still, this was completely a dismount for Deputy Head Yang, he questioned Wang Meng.
Wang Meng also looked innocent, and shouted at the cooking squad leader: "Go and fry a few side dishes for our Deputy Head Yang, Deputy Head Yang can't get used to our coarse tea and light rice."
"Oh, good, good." As he spoke, the cooking squad leader turned around and went into the kitchen.
Yang Ling hurriedly stopped the cooking squad leader: "Don't bother, this white-flour steamed bun is very good, it's much better than when we ate multigrain cakes in the trenches every day......
Yang Ling grabbed a steamed bun and ate it as he spoke, eating it with relish, and the orderly Huzi was not polite, and devoured it one by one: "It's indeed better than the multigrain cakes we used to eat, delicious."
"Don't be stunned, let's all sit down and eat." Seeing that the brothers around him did not move, Yang Ling also beckoned them to eat together.
These brothers originally wanted to see Yang Ling's jokes, but now that they saw that Yang Ling had actually eaten with them, and was so approachable, their image of him changed greatly.
The bold veterans asked in disbelief: "Deputy Regiment Commander Yang, did you really eat multigrain cakes before?"
Yang Ling also responded with a smile: "We were in the 61st Division at that time, and the food was not as good as your Central Army, not to mention multigrain cakes, sometimes it is normal to be hungry for a few days in a row, and it is good to have a stutter."
Yang Ling began to chat with these brothers while eating, after all, Yang Ling also came over on the battlefield, and talking about the battlefield of bullets and bullets quickly resonated with these veterans.
I heard that Yang Ling had also fought with devils in Yunzaobang, Shanghai, and had fought with devils countless times in Nanjing, these veterans could naturally hear that Yang Ling was not lying, and Yang Ling's record was not inferior to them.
The soldiers all respect the powerful people, respect the people who kill the devils, in the small talk of eating, Yang Ling, the newly transferred strange commander, suddenly became no longer strange, and no longer out of reach, they from the initial disdain to respect, Yang Ling's image also gradually grew up in their minds.
