Chapter 137: Preparations before crossing the river

Huang Wenlie's enthusiasm for this operation seemed to have been completely ignited, he pressed his hands on the table, leaned forward, his eyes were blazing, and said: "Junzuo has already expressed his attitude, if this operation is successful, not only will you be immediately reinstated, but it will even be promoted one step higher depending on the situation!" ”

I jokingly said, "Isn't it a step higher to become the head of the regiment?" Does the new 200 regiment need two regiment commanders? ”

Huang Wenlie smiled and nodded, with a look of expectation on his face. I immediately understood what he meant, if I was promoted to the head of the regiment, Huang Wenlie would naturally go further. Where is it not the people below to do things, and the people above to occupy the scenery?

However, I really don't care much about the so-called rewards, although many people join the army to fight in order to get an official position and contribute to their future, but I am really notβ€”at least not entirely.

The beliefs that I once destroyed are reviving little by little in the land of western Yunnan, and the things that have been shattered by reality in the depths of my heart seem to be showing signs of resurrection, and I am careful to experience that all this brings me a different kind of impulse, even if that hope seems to be just hope.

It's always better to have hope than to die, I want things to get back on track, I want to be a part of what happens, I don't want to be a spectator.

As long as we can all stand together and fight side by side, I never wanted to be a cold watchman. The shattered heart that was once hit by disappointment is now slowly bonding.

"Company Commander An, what's wrong with you?" Huang Wenlie was a little upset by my absent-minded appearance. No one likes to be in the mood for themselves, and their audience is already a wandering virtue.

I came back from my wandering mind and said, "Oh, nothing, I was wondering, what is the good news that Danza said is beyond expectations?" As you know, I've always been curious. ”

Huang Wenlie said lightly: "I only hope that your curiosity is as important as your belligerence!" ”

Huang Wenlie was disrupted by me, and was dazed for a while, as if he had forgotten where he should start.

I reminded him and said, "Danza, you should tell me the good news that exceeds expectations." ”

Huang Wenlie lightly beat his forehead with his hand and said, "Yes, yes...... For those requests made by Company Commander An, the operational staff officer was assigned by the military headquarters. As for the military personnel in charge of drawing and mapping, due to the shortage of such talents in our army, Junzuo specially negotiated with the allied forces and transferred an American military officer from Kunming to send it to us! ”

This is indeed good news beyond expectations, almost all the options I need have been met, and it can be said that everything is now in place.

Huang Wenlie looked at me with a smile and said, "How is it?" Company Commander An, will such strong support make you make up your mind to lead the team across the river! ”

I actually made a decision in my heart, but I didn't want to answer him too happily. I have always understood this truth when I have chips in my hand, especially in the face of Huang Wenlie, this trick has been tried hundreds of times.

I pretended to be hesitant and said, "Tuanzao, as for the candidates, do I pick anyone, and they all have to cross the river with me unconditionally?" ”

Huang Wenlie did not hesitate and said categorically: "Of course, I said that under me, you can go wherever you want!" It's not just that I'm going to cross the river with you, but after crossing the river, you're their supreme commander! ”

I said, "I want Inspector Wang Tingyue to cross the river with me, okay?" ”

Huang Wenlie was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "Company Commander An, if you think that Supervisor Wang can come in handy, you can take him across the river, I think Supervisor Wang understands righteousness and should not refuse!" ”

I smiled and said, "Tuanza, you don't have to be embarrassed. I'm just joking, even if Supervisor Wang has some grievances and frictions with me, I have no intention of harming him to death in such a fake way! ”

Huang Wenlie breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "Company Commander An's mind is ......."

I cut over the conversation and said, "Tuanza, you don't have to look up to me, my heart is not so broad-minded. I just don't want to have a burden in the team, we don't cross the river to play in the mountains and rivers, but to fight for our lives, any useless baggage, it may be more than a matter of one person and two people. ”

Huang Wenlie said: "I understand this truth, and I don't need to explain more. You just say who you need! ”

I said, "I'm not going to talk about the first battalion. For other battalions, I want Zhang Da, the commander of the second battalion, and Qian Xiaoliu, deputy of the engineer platoon, I heard that this guy can't do anything but clear mines, and I don't know if it's true or not. Plus the Cui Manzi of the guard company who hit five one by one! That's all for now, and I'll mention it to you if I think of anyone else. ”

Huang Wenlie was angry and said, "Company Commander An, the person you want is almost the elite of my new 200 regiment!" Who else do you have to think of to mention again? ”

I explained in a serious way and said, "Tuanza, it must be an elite." You think, there are only 30 of us in total, and if I bring all the cowards, like Zhang Fugui, it won't be equivalent to sending snacks to the Japanese army. ”

Huang Wenlie was silent for a long time and said, "Okay! Even if you're right, I can understand that you want someone else. What do you want Zhang Da to do? Zhang Da has always been on bad terms with you, I know, if you take him there, will it make people misunderstand, you are suspected of taking revenge for personal gain......"

I sneered and said, "Tuanzao, if I have the intention to retaliate, I will simply bring Wang Tingyue with me, I dare to pack the ticket, I don't need me to harm him, he will die 100% on the West Bank!" ”

Huang Wenlie said: "Then why did you take Zhang Da with you?" He doesn't have any special abilities, you just take a veteran who has fought for two years, and the effect is the same as taking Zhang Da......"

I said: "Tuanza, although Battalion Commander Zhang is not on good terms with me, what I value is his ability to lead troops!" In the event that I am killed on the West Bank, this team must not be leaderless, but someone who can take them through this mission and bring the team back to the East Bank safely! - Why don't you go along and replace Zhang Da? ”

Huang Wenlie said stupidly: "Do you think I don't want to go? It's just that with such an operation, the military headquarters has not allowed the military commanders of the regiments to risk their lives again! ”

I smiled and said, "The military department is not wrong to think like this, if the regiment commander all goes to charge, what will happen to the thousands of people behind him?" Let's get back to business, all thirty people are equipped with carbines. ”

Huang Wenlie said in surprise: "All want carbines? Don't need any heavy weapons? ”

I explained, saying, "We crossed the river to investigate, not to charge. Carrying heavy weapons slows down the march, the carbine is small and easy to carry, and the magazine is easy to change and has a moderate range. The Thompson submachine gun was not bad, but the range was too short, and once blocked, it was difficult to escape. ”

Huang Wenlie went through my preliminary plan from beginning to end, and he was very satisfied, because in all aspects, there was basically nothing missing.

Huang Wenlie said: "Company Commander An, if you can make a contribution in this battle, I will set up a wine for you in Jianlongwan to celebrate your success!" ”

I think it's funny in my heart, Huang Wenlie's official style is indeed becoming more and more stable, and the style of those officials in the upper peak is not much different, it seems that the environment can not only change people, but also reshape people.
