Chapter Eighty-Six: The Insidious Sores
After the six people in the scrivener box took over the task of garrisoning the Uriel Heights, the superiors, especially the British army, were very worried about Liu Fangwu's "unreliable" decision, and the six people guarded the Uriel Heights, which looked like a joke no matter how you looked at it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Liu Fangwu was unmoved and repeatedly insisted on the original decision. For the sake of safety, and in order to give an account to the British, the Allies sent a joint Sino-British detachment as a reserve to defend the Uriel Heights. Once the scrivener and others are unfavorable in battle, the reserve team will come to fill the gap. So a joint Sino-British detachment of fifty people also set off shortly after the scrivener and others set off. All this scrivener six people did not know.
I see. The scrivener only learned these insider stories today. He was a little angry, and after all, his superiors still didn't believe in his abilities. "And then?" He asked the Don guard.
Tang Zhongcheng sighed, "Alas, the problem lies with this team. Your first battle in the Uriel Heights can be said to be earth-shattering, ending the Japanese artillery positions, scattering actions and flowering in many places, and holding positions to block strong enemies, everything is very beautiful. Don't think that your superiors don't know, every one of your battles has been observed by the Sino-British joint squad. They have the latest high-powered telescopes in the United States to capture your every action and report it to Allied command. ”
The scrivener is secretly frightened, and there is such a thing, how powerful the old beautiful telescope should be! It was beyond his comprehension. After thinking about it, what about seeing it, I was upright. "So what." He disagreed.
Tang Zhongcheng continued: "For seven days, the position was not lost, nearly 100 enemies were annihilated, and there were zero casualties on our side. Such a record is enough to shine in the annals of history, and the six of you are the gods of war. Regiment Commander Liu reported to the division headquarters as soon as possible, and even the division commander was excited, and this battle played a national prestige. The division commander specially ordered the logistics department to make a pennant for you as a token of appreciation. But...... At this juncture, an accident occurred, and the British soldiers in the reserve squad objected. Their reasons were: first, during the seven days you were stationed on the Uriel Heights, you were absent from your positions for three days, and the Japanese occupied your positions for three days at one point; Second, you have deserted your post without permission and led the battle to a puddle, contrary to the orders of your superiors; Thirdly, although the position was finally recaptured, it was already four days later, and it rained for the next three days, and the British side thought that it was not your fault, but the bad weather that saved you. The British side submitted these words to Master Sun in writing, and of course the wording was sharper than what I said. Ask Master Sun not only not to give you a reward, but also to punish you. ”
The lungs of the scrivener are about to explode, who did this? So insidious! Lao Tzu is desperate on the front line, are they doing this behind their backs! His hand holding the teacup couldn't stop trembling, if it weren't for the presence of Captain Liu, he would have already been shattered.
Tang Zhongcheng let the scrivener sit firmly and dissipate his anger, which is unbearable, and I am afraid that the things that will follow will be even more unbearable. He continued: "Commander Liu, despite the opposition of the British side, has repeatedly asked for a reward for you. Master Sun also has this meaning, after all, the position is still in our hands in the end, and the goal has been achieved. Since the goal has been achieved, it should be rewarded. However, the British side did not do anything, and even used higher forces to exert pressure. Master Sun put the overall situation first, so he had to compromise. Head Liu can only set up a table for you to celebrate the success in private, and he can only do so much. ”
I see. The scrivener was extremely angry, but helpless. Smack, finally couldn't help it, and threw the teacup in his hand to the ground. Head Liu looked at it and didn't say anything, his mood at this time was understandable.
Tang Zhongcheng has his own opinion, the British side has always opposed the reward of scrivener boxes and others, and opposes the disclosure of this matter, which has its ulterior motives. Because once this matter spreads, it will inevitably cause a sensation in the Allied forces, and six people will hold the position for seven days and seven nights, with zero casualties and hundreds of enemies. Such a record is enough to be included in military textbooks. The British army paid a heavy price when garrisoning the Uri Heights, with more than half of the casualties in a reorganized formation. Compare the two, where to put the face of the British. That's why they do everything they can to obstruct it.
Liu Fangwu also thinks so. Some things are so evil, they are obviously white, but they will be said to be black by people with ulterior motives. He asked Tang Zhongcheng to take out something from the desk and unfold it for the scrivener to see.
This is a pennant, with a big red background, with four big golden characters of "Expeditionary Heroes" written on it, and a line of small characters, embroidered with the names of six people such as the scrivener.
Liu Fangwu said earnestly: "This pennant was originally awarded to you, but now it seems that it can't be done for the time being." I will keep it for you first, and when I have made meritorious service in the future, I will give it to you as well. Don't live up to the title of 'Expeditionary Hero'. ”
The scrivener is wet in the eyes, and there is liquid turning in the corners of the eyes, which is excited. "I promise to live up to the trust of the company commander." He gave a standard military salute.
Liu Fangwu nodded, very pleased. "Alright, that's all for today. The punishment is inevitable, I want to give an explanation to my superiors, and punish you with two months of confinement. Guard Tang, this matter is up to you. ”
"Yes." Tang Zhongcheng replied. Turn around and call the scrivener to leave. As soon as the two of them walked to the door, they were stopped by Liu Fangwu again.
"Wait." Liu Fangwu said.
The scrivener and Tang Zhongcheng stood at the same time and looked back at Liu Fangwu.
"The Sino-British joint team that has been observing you, and there are two people you know, namely Sores and John. Is the injustice you have suffered related to them? Of course, this is just speculation, and there is no real evidence. Liu Fangwu revealed an important piece of information.
The scrivener didn't show an overly aggressive expression, and mentally read the names of Soreus and John ten times. "Commander, I don't regret beating Sores violently." He said one last word.
Liu Fangwu was happy: "Haha, the inside and the outside are the same, straight and straight, I like this kind of character." ”
Tang Zhongcheng took the scrivener out of the regiment headquarters, it was noon at this time, and the two had dinner in the canteen first. After that, Tang Zhongcheng led the scrivener box to confinement.
Confinement is a very common form of punishment in the military, and the specific implementation of a unit is not the same as that of a unit. The confinement of the new 38th Division has always been strict, a small house less than one and a half meters high, less than one meter long and less than one meter wide (it is more appropriate to say that it is a big box), and people cannot straighten their waists or stretch their legs when they get into it. It's pitch black inside, eating,, and peeing inside. The average person can't stand it after being locked up for three days.
The scrivener pondered while walking, and two months of confinement was long enough. He regretted it a little, he knew that this was the case, it was better to beat Sores harder, and it was better not to get out of bed for three months. The old revenge has just been avenged and the new hatred has risen again, this matter is not over, Soris you wait, this account will be calculated again sooner or later.
