Chapter 65: Resting in the Cracks of the Battlefield
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, He Jianye, who was waiting for division commander Li Yutang at the division headquarters, enjoyed the officer's meal at the division headquarters, and it was nothing too good, just a bowl of white rice with two green vegetables and a scrambled egg, and a hot soup.
"Captain He, I'm sorry! The food was gone, and what was left was left for the division commander and chief of staff. "The orderly said,
Speaking of this, Li Yutang and Ruan Yongqi came back, and as soon as they entered the door, they heard this, Li Yutang said directly,
"Give it all to him! In the past few days, Regiment Commander He has suffered on the front line, and he can't go back to the division to eat or be full! The Chief of Staff and I ate multigrain cakes today. ”
"Commander, that can let you eat multigrain cakes, I'm full, no need." He Jianye immediately stood up and said,
"Really full?" Li Yutang asked,
"I'm so full, I'm not in the habit of wasting shamefully, I want to finish it when I see that there is still rice in the pot!" He Jianye said with a smile,
"Get up when you're full, labor and management and the chief of staff haven't eaten yet, don't occupy the land." Li Yutang scolded with a smile,
"Division commander, chief of staff, please!" He Jianye immediately got up and stood aside,
Li Yutang ate quickly, more than 10 minutes later, Li Yutang wiped his mouth, Chief of Staff Ruan Yongqi had finished eating and was waiting for him, the two of them walked to the front of the map together, Li Yutang shouted,
"He Jianye, come here!"
"Division" He Jianye walked in front of Li Yutang,
"You have been fighting very the north bank of Yishui in the past few days, everyone knows that you have temporarily rested in Xin'an in the past two days, and there are three of their regiments in the position on the south bank of Yishui, and you will not be needed for a while. How many wounded people are in your regiment? Li Yutang asked,
"More than 1,200 were sent away last time, and now there are hundreds left." He Jianye said,
"There is a train from Donghai tonight, which passes through Xin'an at eight o'clock in the evening, and a carriage is left for us to transport the wounded, and it is all for you. You remember to go to Xin'an Station before 8 p.m. In addition, let's have a good rest in the barracks these days! I estimate that you won't be idle for a few days, the situation on the battlefield in Xuzhou is not good! Li Yutang sighed,
"Yes, division commander, then I'll go back and arrange it first." He Jianye said,
He Jianye found the station of the 16th Regiment in the staff office, and walked towards the root of the city wall at the north gate of Xin'an with the guards, the camp of the 16th Regiment was in an open space against the city wall, although the temporary barracks built with wooden planks could not block the wind, but it was much better than camping in the field, and in the open space in front of the camp, there were already brothers who had lit a bonfire, and the soldiers sat around to make a fire......
He Jianye returned to the temporary regiment headquarters and beckoned several company commanders of the transport company, the baggage company, and the engineer company, and asked them to immediately organize manpower and stretchers to send the wounded to Xin'an Station, wait for the train at 8 o'clock in the evening, and send the wounded to the train.
"Deputy Regiment Commander Xia, you will personally be responsible for sending the wounded on the train at night." He Jianye ordered,
"Yes, Captain!" Deputy Head Xia responded,
"In addition, in the evening, you will count the situation of our equipment and ammunition, see what equipment needs to be repaired, make a list, and send it to the division headquarters tomorrow to ask for rectification. I estimate that the number of troops is enough to replenish, so let's replenish some equipment first! He Jianye said,
"Okay, regimental commander, I'll go and take care of the wounded first." Deputy Regiment Commander Xia and several company commanders left the temporary regiment headquarters and beckoned the brothers to get busy......
"Zeng Da" He Jianye rested for half an hour and shouted at the regiment headquarters,
"Regiment Commander, Company Commander Zeng and Deputy Regiment Commander Xia just went to the train station to see off the wounded, is there anything wrong?" The guard came in and asked,
"Let's go, accompany me to the logistics warehouse to have a look." He Jianye said,
He Jianye came to the logistics warehouse and said to the cooking squad leader,
"Have we sent supplies? What's there? Open the repository and let me see. ”
"Okay, Captain." Saying that, the cooking squad leader took the key to open the warehouse,
"It's all here," said the cooking squad leader.
He Jianye looked over at a glance, and there were several bags of hemp rice piled up in the warehouse, as well as a few bags of bran and rice bran, dozens of catties of meat were piled on the wooden shelf next to it, and cabbage, radishes and potatoes were scattered on the shelves......
"Isn't this still a multigrain thing, why is it just so meat?" He Jianye asked,
"There is so much supply for the logistics of the division headquarters, but the brothers can eat hot food." The cooking squad leader said helplessly,
"Got it" He Jianye waved his hand,
He Jianye, who returned to the regiment headquarters, looked at the brothers who were still roasting the fire outside, and obviously saw the malnourished faces and the vigorous spirit of the soldiers by the fire, and He Jianye felt a faint pain in his heart......
A person walked towards the street of Xin'an, turning the black light of Xin'an, and the occasional light was the courtyard of a large family, and I didn't know that it was the headquarters of that unit......
He Jianye seems to be walking aimlessly in the ruins of Xin'an, in fact, He Jianye is carefully searching for the ruins of the restaurants and restaurants that were blown down in Xin'an, as a town on the Longhai Railway, He Jianye feels that there must be a large restaurant here, at a large street entrance, He Jianye saw the collapsed bricks and tiles that were burned into ruins scattered on the ground, He Jianye frowned and looked at the surrounding environment, feeling that this should be the most prosperous area in Xin'an, at least before the war.
"That's it."
He Jianye hurriedly returned to the regiment headquarters, and when he entered the gate of the temporary barracks, he asked,
"Deputy Head Xia, have they come back?"
"Report to the head of the regiment, I'm back." The sentry at the door said,
"Hmm" He Jianye walked towards the regiment headquarters......
"Come on, notify the commanders of the engineer company, the baggage company, and the transportation company to come to the regiment headquarters immediately." He Jianye walked into the regiment headquarters and said,
More than ten minutes later, several company commanders who had not rested came over, including Zeng Da, who heard the wind,
"Regiment commander" several company commanders came in to say hello,
"Assemble your brethren, and the guards will take a platoon; Bring more heads, shovels or something, and follow me. He Jianye said,
"It's so late, Commander, what are we going to do!" Zeng Da said,
"Hehe, do you want to eat something delicious? If you want to improve your food tomorrow, come with me! He Jianye smiled and said,
As soon as they heard that they had gone out to get food, several company commanders immediately went back to gather men......
In less than five minutes, Zeng Da returned to the regiment headquarters and said, "Regiment commander, everything is ready, they are all outside, and more than a dozen carts have been prepared." ”
He Jianye waved his hand, went out, and said to everyone,
"I'm going to take you to eat tonight, and you're all smart. After arriving at the place, Zeng Da was responsible for leading people to guard, and others acted according to orders. Do you understand? ”
"Understood!" Although the voices of nearly 500 people are not loud, they still sound loud in the silence of the night.
"Don't talk, let's go." He Jianye led five hundred people towards the place he had just found......
