Now, except for the 17th Division fighting guerrillas around Tengxian on the west bank, our main force on the east bank has once again fallen into a long stalemate with the Japanese army.

Heading into May, the weather is getting warmer.

I ride my bicycle back and forth between the barracks and Linmeng every once in a while, and I am now in a state of wandering between soldiers and civilians. In order to prevent Zhai Meng's retaliation, I now carry a pistol with me, and I am also very careful on the way back and forth.

Because I was demoted, my military affairs were not so busy, my time was relatively abundant, and the number of days to ask Zhou Dalei for leave became more and more frequent. If it was in wartime, it would not have been possible to take so many leave, but now we are not fighting, and we are facing the Japanese army across the river, and we are in peace.

Today I took leave again, Ani was a little unsightly, looked at me excitedly pushing the bicycle, and said, "Brother An, are you going back again?" How many times have you been back this month? ”

I hesitated: "Isn't there something wrong with me, why should I go back if I have nothing to do?" ”

Ani pursed her lips and said, "Brother An, the military department demoted you, but it fulfilled you." ”

I laughed and said, "I've felt it seventy or eighty times in my heart." ”

I pushed the bicycle and just walked out of the barracks, and met Huang Wenlie with more than a dozen guards who had just arrived at the gate of the barracks, I hurriedly put the bicycle aside and saluted: "The group seat is good." ”

Huang Wenlie looked at the bicycle under my feet and said, "I heard that the battalion deputy of the first battalion of the new 200th Regiment is now the best officer on a bicycle on the entire east coast?" Is this true? ”

I said: "Tuanza, it's pure exaggeration, it's all nonsense!" ”

Huang Wenlie sighed and said, "I am also very embarrassed that you have been demoted, but Shangfeng insists on going his own way, and this is not something I can stop." But don't worry, as long as you put your mind to military affairs, it won't be long before I guarantee that you will be your battalion commander again! ”

"Thank you, thank you for your kindness, but I'm happy with my current state. As for the fact that I was demoted, and that the first battalion lost troops on the west bank, there was nothing wrong with the punishment given to me by the upper peak. ”

Huang Wenlie treated me as his own corporal, I was a serious refusal, almost telling Huang Wenlie: Don't get involved in my affairs, I'm fine now!

When Huang Wenlie saw me say this, he also cooled down: "I'm afraid this can't help you!" You, the battalion deputy, can no longer be so idle, after the regimental headquarters has decided that you are not only the battalion deputy, but also the commander of the third company! ”

Ani pursed her lips, I was a little anxious, because being the commander of the company and the military commander of the company meant that I couldn't have so much time to run back to Linmeng.

I hurriedly walked up to Huang Wenlie and said in a low voice: "Tuanzao, you just said that you want to keep me as the battalion commander or something, why do you want me to be the company commander again, isn't this the level getting lower and lower?" ”

Huang Wenlie said patiently: "You are also the company commander, your military rank will not change, where you will be lowered and lowered!" ”

Me: "Tuanzao, I mean, I went from battalion commander to battalion deputy to company commander, step by step, what do you want the brothers in the first battalion to think of me?" ”

Huang Wenlie looked at me and said to me almost in a serious tone: "An Sihu, if you really feel that someone has framed you and treated you unfairly, you should show an example and get back what you lost!" It's not like this, when the jar is broken! You're going to make me lose all my respect for you! ”

I'm still explaining, "Tuanza, you misunderstood me. I really didn't complain about being demoted this time, no one framed me, and even the war report submitted by Supervisor Wang to the military department, I felt very fair. But if you let you be the company commander, how can there be a battalion deputy who is also the company commander? You're not ......"

Huang Wenlie said angrily: "Enough! As a soldier, if we are all like you who do not want to make progress, and only know that we are obsessed with lingering children, we, we would have perished a long time ago! ”

Huang Wenlie was so angry that he gasped and said to the herald beside him: "Pass my order to Battalion Commander Zhou!" An Sihu will serve as the commander of the third company from now on, and this order must be executed immediately! ”

After saying that, he didn't even go to the battalion headquarters anymore, turned around and left, the herald went to convey the order, and more than a dozen guards followed Huang Wenlie Wuyang Wuyang.

Ani smiled: "Brother An, you can't go now, right?" I think this order is very wise! If you go on like this, you won't look like a soldier anymore. ”

…………

I was sent to the third company as a company commander, and the original company commander was transferred to the second battalion by Huang Wenlie, but fortunately, Huang Wenlie took some details into account for me, like some of my old subordinates Wang Sibao, Ma Shun, and Zhang Fugui are in the third company.

Tan Weimin was also given a favor by Huang Wenlie and sent to the third company, although he was only a platoon deputy. This appointment of Tan Weimin is definitely the most satisfying, as long as he can enter the combat unit, he is willing to demote him to a private class.

Zhai Meng has not heard from him since he appeared once in Deyue Tower a few months ago, and slowly I forgot about this person, thinking that he must have been disheartened and went back to Damangshan.

Who would have thought that Zhai Meng would suddenly appear at the headquarters of the first battalion after a few months, and he asked Zhou Dalei to return to the building, although he was detained by the Judge Advocate General's Office, he was actually a warrant officer in the first battalion.

I didn't mention to anyone that Zhai Meng was looking for revenge against me, and Zhou Dalei didn't know about it. And he felt that Zhai Meng was brought out by me from Damangshan, so he naturally assigned Zhai Meng to the Third Company.

Zhai Meng went to the quartermaster and received a military uniform, firearms, and other items, and then came to the third company.

At the end of the traffic trench, I put up logs and laid iron sand and stones, and installed a wooden door that leaked everywhere, which was my anti-artillery hole and resting place.

Zhai Meng walked in and snapped upright: "Warrant Officer Zhai Meng reports to the company commander!" ”

I let everyone else go out and stared at him for a long time, I was trying to figure out his thoughts, it was hard to imagine that the explosive Zhai Meng could treat the previous things as if they hadn't happened.

Me: "Zhai Meng, there are no vacancies for officers in each squad and platoon now, you can follow me for the time being, and in the future, depending on the situation, there will be vacancies to fill them." ”

Zhai Meng glared at me in surprise and said, "You, if you keep me by your side, aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" ”

I sighed and said, "I'm afraid, but what can I do?" Your combat command ability is not as good as Zhai Li, and Zhai Li has made such a serious mistake, how can I rest assured that I will hand over a platoon to you to command? ”

My outspokenness made Zhai Meng's head burst out, looking at his appearance, he could pounce and strangle me at any time, my pistol was under the table, as long as he dared to go wild, I would kill him mercilessly.

- I have never been a soldier without selfish distractions.

Before Zhai Meng was about to break out, he turned around and pushed the door out, and when he was about to go out, I also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Ani walked in in a flash, she was one of the few people who knew about Zhai Meng looking for revenge against me, I think she heard Tan Weimin tell her.

Ani said worriedly: "Brother An, why don't you go and tell Camp Commander Zhou to transfer Zhai Meng to another company?" ”

Me: "Why?" ”

Arnie: "Brother An, are you stupid?" Keeping him by your side is not the same as burying a thunder by your side! It will explode at any time. ”

I sneered: "Transfer him to another company, doesn't that mean I'm afraid of him?" I'm just going to keep him around, and I'll see what he can do! ”
