Chapter 721: What Do We Do
The troops of the Eighth Route Army are disciplined, and officers cannot casually insult, insult, and beat soldiers, and Sun Weiguo emphasized this point even more in the new Second Brigade, and the soldiers have complaints against the officers, and naturally they will not obey the command when fighting, and such troops will not have combat effectiveness.
The composition of the new Second Brigade is relatively chaotic, there are Sichuan troops, there are Jin Sui troops, and there are prisoners of war, so Sun Weiguo is a special stipulation that when officers insult, insult and beat soldiers, soldiers must immediately report to the brigade headquarters, and the brigade headquarters will send personnel to deal with it.
And for such a serious insult as a public slap, the soldier can fight back, which is to preserve the soldier's self-esteem.
However, something like this has never happened in the New Second Brigade, and today's incident is the first time.
The commander of the third company of the fifth battalion was slapped by the deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company, and he looked at the deputy platoon commander of the machine gun company in front of him with a stunned gaze.
"Brigadier Commander." Tan Tianyu and other officers saluted Sun Weiguo one after another.
"You want to evacuate?" Sun Weiguo looked at Tan Tianyu, and he asked in a cold tone.
"Brigade commander, the casualties of our troops are too great, if we continue to fight like this, I am afraid that our troops will be wiped out." Tan Tianyu immediately explained.
"I'm asking if you want to evacuate." Sun Wei said in a serious Chinese tone.
"Report to the brigade commander, we want to evacuate." Tan Tianyu replied helplessly.
"There are two infantry wings of little devils on the periphery, if you think you can break through the encirclement of these two infantry wings, you can evacuate now. You can take heavy weapons with you, but you must remember that from this moment on, you are no longer a soldier of my new 2nd Brigade. Sun Wei said calmly in Chinese.
"Brigade commander, we ......" Tan Tianyu looked at Sun Weiguo, and didn't know how to answer Sun Weiguo's words for a while.
"I have already understood the matter, you think that my Sun Weiguo is deliberately depleting the strength of your troops, you think I am using you as cannon fodder, the 21st Division of the Japanese Army is a police reserve trifecta, and their artillery has been severely damaged by us, you can be said to be a weaker place for the Japanese army to attack here. Zhixi Town, the 114th Division of the Japanese Army has two brigades and four infantry wings, where do you go to try it? The 1st Brigade of the Japanese Army in Donghui Town, the brigade commander of the 1st Brigade of the Mixed Battle, Naganomura Momoyo, even if I can't fight him, even though most of the troops of the Independent Regiment and the Pre-1st Regiment are there, Kunomura Momoyo still found an opportunity to break through and capture the county seat. ”
Sun Weiguo looked at Tan Tianyu, with an annoyed expression on his face, the performance of the fifth and sixth battalions before was remarkable, but when the Japanese army invaded Guanshan Town, their performance was extremely bad.
Especially after coming to Guanshan Town, he learned that the troops of the 5th and 6th Battalions had abandoned their heavy weapons when they were evacuated, which was unacceptable to Sun Weiguo.
The New Second Brigade has plenty of belongings, but these belongings are exchanged for the lives of many officers and men, and it can be said that every weapon is exchanged for blood and lives.
The officers and men of the New Second Brigade all regard weapons as if they were their own lives, especially heavy weapons, and many officers and men would rather sacrifice their own lives than have heavy weapons destroyed during combat.
However, the troops of the 5th and 6th Battalions actually abandoned their heavy weapons, which was unforgivable in the eyes of Sun Weiguo.
He was very angry in his heart, if such a thing happened in the first regiment, everyone from the regiment commander to the ordinary soldiers would be punished, but the independent regiment had just been transferred to the new second brigade, and the fifth and sixth battalions were reorganized from the local troops of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region.
"The commander of the third company of the fifth battalion evacuated the position without authorization, which led to the forced evacuation of all units, and in accordance with the "Law on the Sitting of Military Companies", the commander of the third company of the fifth battalion was immediately executed to set an example!"
Sun Wei gave the order in a cold Chinese tone, and the two guards of the guard squad immediately controlled the commander of the third company.
"Deputy regiment commander, battalion commander, help me, I was also forced to be helpless, where would our troops be so many opponents of the Japanese army. You save me, Brigade Commander Sun is going to take me to the knife, if you don't save me now, he will kill you sooner or later in the future. The commander of the third company, controlled by two guards, shouted loudly.
Ji Haotian, the commander of the fifth battalion, and Tan Tianyu, the deputy commander of the fifth battalion, glanced at each other, and the two of them had embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"Brigade commander, let's give the commander of the third company a chance, since you have all come here, we believe in you, we will stay and hold our positions."
"Yes, give the third company commander a chance, something like this will definitely not happen in the future, brigade commander."
"There is also a reason for the retreat of the third company commander, Brigade Commander Sun, let's give him a chance, even if he dies, let him die on the battlefield."
The officers looked at Sun Weiguo, and they began to plead with the commander of the third company.
"Execute the order." Sun Wei said coldly in Chinese.
He had never killed his own subordinates, but in this battle, Sun Weiguo had to kill his own people.
The method of the commander of the third company has never been done in the troops of the new second brigade, and if this matter is not handled, it is inevitable that some people will make the same mistake in the future.
In this way, the troops of the three company commanders withdrew without authorization, the machine gun company and artillery company of the guard battalion intercepted most of the Japanese troops, and the two companies paid a heavy price to cover the safe evacuation of the fifth and sixth battalions, but in the future, someone is doing such a thing, which may lead to the destruction of the troops.
The losses of the machine-gun and artillery batteries were heavy, and the two companies currently cost more than a hundred casualties.
The machine gun company and artillery company of the guard battalion are strengthened, and many of the deputy shooters and gunners are being trained.
These people were all machine gun shooters and gunners who could become the new 2nd Brigade in the future, but now, they were all killed in Guanshan Town.
Sun Weiguo will not allow people like the third company commander to get opportunities after making mistakes, there are battlefield rules on the battlefield, and if you make mistakes elsewhere, you can also have the opportunity to correct them, but if you make mistakes on the battlefield, you must pay the price.
"You can choose to break through, or you can choose to stay here, but in any case, from now on, you are not the soldiers of our new second brigade, the soldiers of our new second brigade dare to fight with the little devils, they are all upright men, they dare to fight with the little devils to the last person."
Sun Wei said coldly in Chinese, and after he finished speaking, he walked out directly.
Tan Tianyu and the others glanced at each other, their faces were stunned, and they didn't know what they should say for a while.
"Deputy Commander, what should we do now?" Ji Haotian looked at Tan Tianyu, and he asked at a loss.
