Chapter 33, Promotion

Shi Shi'an couldn't help but be overjoyed when he learned that the Japanese had actually withdrawn from the army, he put away the pistol in his hand, and he had already made the decision to live and die with Shanhaiguan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info But now that the Japanese have withdrawn from the army, it means that they have really held Shanhaiguan, because their reinforcements are about to arrive, so naturally there is no need to hold a gun and be ready to die at any time.

But great joy is often followed by great sorrow, when the entire Shanhaiguan soldiers have gathered, he found that in this battle his entire regiment directly lost up to two-thirds of the troops, and the remaining one-third almost everyone had different degrees of wounds, which can be described as extremely tragic.

For at least a few months after that, it was difficult for this regiment to form an effective combat force, and it can be said that his regiment was almost abandoned. Shi Shi'an, as the head of the regiment, was naturally sad, and couldn't help wiping a handful of tears: "Brothers, let's go and bring back the sacrificed brothers first." “

"Yes, Captain." Many people couldn't help but wipe away a handful of tears, and the victor had not only laughter but also the grief of losing his brother.

Everyone scattered to find the corpses of his brothers scattered throughout the pass, and Shi Shi'an also led many people to the pass where his love sacrificed An Dexin. After searching through the rubble for a long time, they found a mutilated body in the rubble, and since their bodies were all mixed together, it was impossible to tell whose part it was.

"Brother, we won, I, Shi Shi'an, will definitely do everything I promised you, rest in peace." Shi Shi'an picked up a hand holding a big knife, he recognized this knife, this knife was given to him when he snatched An Dexin from someone else's hand.

He took the knife into his hand: "Brother, in the future, we will be soldiers together and fight the Japanese together." “

"Take the brothers home." He yelled.

"Take the brothers home."

Li Shunsheng quietly looked at everything in front of him, I don't know when there were more tears on his face, he hurriedly wiped away these tears: "How can I cry, I didn't cry when I was dying, I was just moved." “

"Company commander, you're not injured, are you?" At this time, Li Shunsheng's soldiers found their company commander.

Li Shunsheng shook his head slightly: "I'm fine, are the brothers okay?" “

"Half of the brothers are still martyred, company commander, I'm sorry for you." Tears appeared in the eyes of the deputy company commander.

The rest of the soldiers were also silently in tears.

"What are you crying for, brothers, this is sacrificed for the country, what is there to cry about. We want to be happy for them, we have to laugh. Li Shunsheng opened his mouth and laughed silently, and tears couldn't stop falling.

The reinforcements came quickly, and they arrived before it was dark, and it was obvious that they were in a hurry, and many soldiers sat on the ground and were unwilling to move as soon as they arrived at Shanhaiguan. Fortunately, the Japanese no longer have the ability to launch another attack, otherwise Shanhaiguan will inevitably be more than lucky.

"Shi'an did a good job." In the command center, He Zhuguo patted Shi Shi'an on the shoulder with relief: "This time the Japanese did not defeat Shanhaiguan, then they will never be able to come down in the future, this time I will personally go to the young marshal to ask for credit for you." “

Seeing that Shi Shi'an was obviously a little absent-minded, He Zhuguo also understood why the other party was like this: "Don't worry, we will double the pensions of the brothers who died in the war this time, this time the young marshal is personally staring at it, I don't want to see who dares to be greedy for a penny." “

"I thank you for the sacrificed brothers, thank you for the young marshal." Hearing the other party's promise, a stone in Shi Shi's peace of mind finally landed, and these of his would rest in peace under the Nine Springs.

"The young marshal is very happy to hear that you have guarded the Shanhaiguan, and told me privately that he will meet you in person later, you have to seize this opportunity, maybe the next time we meet, we can be commensurate with each other." He Zhuguo laughed, a general will succeed and ten thousand bones will wither This is a theorem since ancient times, if you want to be an excellent general, then your subordinates are destined to have thousands of casualties. Although he himself was not used to all this at first, he became numb after a long time, because this is war.

"Yes, Brigade." If it was usual, Shi Shi'an might be happy, but now he really can't raise much interest, and the grief of so many brothers dying in battle will not be dissipated so easily.

"By the way, do you have any good seedlings to recommend this time, after all, I think your losses this time are too heavy, so you must pick a group of officers to replenish as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very troublesome to manage when the replenishment of your soldiers arrives." He Zhuguo got down to business.

Speaking of business, Shi Shi'an was not ambiguous: "I already have a candidate for battalion commander, but I can't find a few of the remaining company and platoon-level officers, and the rest have to worry a lot about the brigade seats." ”

"Oh? Are you talking about the top student of the CSKA Military School? He Zhuguo remembered Li Shunsheng, who was sent here by himself some time ago, that young man was a good seedling.

"Yes, this plan to defend the city was formulated by us together, if I am alone, I may not be able to defend Shanhaiguan." Shi Shi'an did not swallow all the credit for guarding Shanhaiguan himself, but chose to share the credit.

"To be honest, I didn't expect it, I just thought he was a very talented young man, and if you put it here, you might be able to become a talent, but I didn't expect him to be so prominent."

"Originally, I thought so too, but now that I'm impressed with him, it's not just a rice bucket that comes out of Nanjing City." Shi Shi'an's words revealed his deep resentment towards the Nationalist Government.

"Don't talk nonsense." He Zhuguo was a little speechless: "If your words are heard by others, it will not be good." “

"Did you decide to let that little doll battalion commander?"

"Yes, since he has shown his due talent and ability, our Northeast Army will not be able to suppress a capable officer." Shi Shi'an nodded and said that he had decided.

"It's up to you, it's just a battalion commander."

In this way, Li Shunsheng completed several jumps under the discussion of his two superiors, and was directly promoted from a company commander to a battalion commander.

"Alas....." Li Shunsheng was sitting on the roof of a house at this time, with his chin propped up, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Sir." Jiang Ergou appeared below: "The deputy company commander called me to call you back, saying that there was something to find the commander." ”

"Oh" Li Shunsheng jumped from the roof and followed Jiang Ergou back.
