When the new force appeared in front of us, their appearance would definitely not be reminiscent of the word new force.

What I saw were panicked eyes and blank expressions for the rest of my life.

When the independent battalion crossed the river, it was not subjected to too fierce fire by the Japanese army, and the Japanese army also needed to repair and treat the wounded.

But even with such a symbolic sniper, the independent battalion lost almost thirty people in the Nu River. Among the more than 30 people, more than a dozen were shot, and a few others accidentally fell into the Nu River in a panic, and then were taken away by the torrent of the Nu River.

Being able to cross the west coast from the east coast was no less than a battle for these recruits. Watching their comrades die and be injured was the first experience in their military career.

Now we have good news, that is, the recruits of the independent battalion have finally achieved one gun for each person. Because our dead are too large, there is a large amount of idle equipment and guns that can be allocated to them.

I watched as many of them were holding guns, and they looked like they were holding a hoe or a burning stick. I even wonder how many of them had touched a gun before that, and how many of them would have shot a bullet out of the chamber without missing the target.

Because of the constant shortage of ammunition, our army gave recruits the opportunity to shoot live ammunition, which was very rare compared with the Japanese army. This is also one of the most fundamental reasons why the individual combat ability of our soldiers is inferior to that of the Japanese army.

Huang Wenlie was in a hurry, so he ordered the independent battalion to be transferred, and after witnessing the situation of the independent battalion, he was also very discouraged. Sending such troops to the front line is tantamount to using them as cannon fodder, as living bait to consume the ammunition of the Japanese army.

Moreover, sending such a group of people to charge into battle can be called non-aggressive. If we were on the defensive side, they would have come in handy, because they would have been good at digging trenches.

I sighed in my heart and said to Huang Wenlie: "Tuanzuo, I will fight this round of main attacks, and it is more appropriate for you to continue to use the independent battalion as a reserve." ”

Huang Wenlie didn't look at me, he was embarrassed to look at me, and he was embarrassed now, because when I spoke like this, listening from his point of view, it was tantamount to sarcasm and ridicule. Although I swear to the gods and Buddhas, I have no sarcasm or sarcasm.

Zhou Dalei immediately objected to my words, he had crossed the river to participate in the battle, and it was really difficult for him to accept that his independent battalion should continue to serve as a reserve.

Zhou Dalei said: "Tuanzuo, since we have been transferred over, we have to try." I know that most of my soldiers are new recruits and have not undergone several formal trainings. But not all veterans come from recruits, and without such a battle, they will always be recruits who pee their pants when they hear the gunshot! ”

Zhou Dalei's words made Huang Wenlie's eyes shine, he needed this kind of words to boost his confidence now, he said loudly: "Battalion Commander Zhou is right, recruits also need actual combat to accelerate their growth, and soldiers should be tempered in the flames of war!" Lying in the trenches all day long, hiding in the barracks, even if it is another ten or eight years, he will be a useless veteran! ”

I looked at this pair of sympathetic generals in astonishment, and said, "Tuanzao, do you really want to use the independent battalion to fight the main attack?" If you do that......"

Huang Wenlie became interested, turned his head to look at me, and said, "If I really use the independent battalion to fight the main attack, what will happen to you?" ”

I hesitated for a moment, but still straightened my back, replied loudly, and said: "Tuanzao, if you really use the independent battalion as the main attack force, then I beg you to immediately remove me from the post of battalion commander, I will only be a soldier, I will fight wherever you point!" Without a brain, I'll feel a little better! ”

Huang Wenlie didn't expect me to answer him like this, he was stunned for a while, and then said slowly: "Battalion Commander An, I can be sure that you are a good person, but I am not sure whether you are a good officer or not!" ”

I continued to stand straight, and in the bottom of my heart I felt the urge to tear off my major's epaulettes, smash the pair of two-bar, one-star epaulettes on the table, and then rush up to Moyunling with my gun! I'm fed up with fighting wits and courage with my superiors, I'm fed up with one or a few idiots directing my brain, I want to get rid of myself!

But I just moved my fingers, and I was stopped by my own sanity. If it had been a year ago, I felt that I could really have done such crazy behavior, because at that stage, I lived in a disorderly manner, I was in a hurry, I was in a dilapidated and helpless life, I was steady, and I was sinful when I lived.

But now it's different, I now have a family affair, and I don't just have a father who is getting old and needs me to take care of. I also have a wife and an unknown life. I'm not exactly living for myself now, I'm living for them, and I can't do anything too out of the ordinary.

My momentum poured out under Huang Wenlie's gaze and in my own self-enlightenment, and I said: "Since Tuanzao thinks I'm a good person, I just want to ask Tuanza to take back my life!" Let me, a good man, take my battalion and rush to Moyunling to take down the enemy's first defensive position! ”

Huang Wenlie nodded with satisfaction and said, "I can now be sure that you may also be a good officer, at least a courageous officer!" ”

Zhou Dalei said: "Anzi, when your kid followed me, wasn't he also a recruit, and he only served as a battalion commander for a few days, so he looked down on recruits?" I still say that half of the recruits are trained, and the other half is polished on the battlefield! ”

Huang Wenlie said: "Battalion Commander Zhou, I now order you, all members of your independent battalion will be incorporated into the third battalion, and you will serve as the battalion commander to reorganize the offensive, and you must take the enemy's first defensive position within the next eight hours!" Remember, it's not wrong to mix your recruits with the veterans, but it's not an overnight thing, and it's hard to get started! Let today's battle in Moyunling be their beginning. ”

Zhou Dalei saluted and said loudly: "Yes! Tuanza! Zhou Dalei guarantees to complete the task! ”

Listening to Huang Wenlie's arrangement, there are veterans with new soldiers, and finally they will not be defeated with one blow, and I feel a little more at ease. But listening to Zhou Dalei say the phrase "guarantee to complete the task", I really want to tell him to take it back.

On the real battlefield, who can guarantee anything, to put it mildly, they can't guarantee whether they will come back alive, how can they dare to guarantee the completion of the task?

If it weren't for the fact that I knew Zhou Dalei very well, I would have looked at his style like a person who had been in the red army, often talking about guarantees at all times, and red was firming up his goals with faith.

Unlike us, we are using the process and the result to accumulate our own insistence on beliefs.
