Chapter 131: Half a Banner

(The third more is delivered!) )

In the open space in front of the south city gate, patches of red-black plasma were sprinkled on the ground.

Tens of thousands of horses gathered here, listening to Chen Kefu's orders.

The last glimmer of light in autumn has faded, and with the mountain breeze blowing from time to time, the soldiers of the Sui army began to light torches and light torches, like fireflies in summer, decorating this dark night with extraordinary beauty.

It's just that at this time, no one at the South City Gate has half the interest to enjoy this beautiful night scene, and the entire South City is filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Regarding Chen Kefu's order, not only Zhang He felt unconvinced, but also Li Benlei, Mao Yi, Lu Shishen and others also felt that something was inappropriate. Even Li Jie turned to look at Chen Kefu in some surprise, wanting to see something strange on his face.

Just watched it for a long time, and he didn't see anything unusual, he didn't know why Chen Kefu did this. If he gives the order to take heavy responsibility for the heavy cavalry brigade or the heavy infantry brigade, then I believe that not many people will have objections. But at this time, he just ignored the two group fighting troops, and first punished the fourth division that was about to fight and cowardly the enemy. And it's still so harsh, but it's incomprehensible. Wasn't he afraid that he would arouse the resentment of the officers and men of the Fourth Division?

Li Benlei turned around and walked to Chen Kefu's side, "Marshal, tomorrow the whole army will have to rush to the Liaohe battlefield for a second ambush battle." Although the Fourth Division's performance today is not good, it is also because the Fourth Division is all new recruits, and the quality of the recruits is worse than that of the First, Second, and Sixth Divisions. In addition, today is their first battle, and they suddenly faced the main force of more than 7,000 Liao people alone, and it is understandable that they were defeated for a while. Why don't you confiscate each of them for a month, and give them a chance to atone for their sins in the upcoming second ambush? ”

Mao Yi, Lu Shishen, Luo Lin and others were also busy pleading.

Chen Kefu was silent for a while, "When I think of employing people in the imperial court, today's affairs will follow the will of the generals." All officers and men of the Fourth Division were fined and confiscated for one month, and all officers of the Fourth Division were dismissed on the spot, and each of them continued to act as his current position. This time I will give you a chance to go to the battlefield again to regain your lost honor, and if you continue to behave like this on the battlefield next time, then everyone will be punished with two responsibilities and one more degree of guilt. Zhang He, the general's order, can you take it? ”

Zhang He knelt there and gritted his teeth, and was silent for a while before he said, "The last general obeys the commander's military order, and is willing to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes" Now although he is convinced in his mouth, he is not convinced in his heart, but he is still waiting for Chen Kefu's punishment of the commander of the heavy cavalry brigade and heavy infantry.

"Marshal, the Fourth Division has already been punished, and I don't know how the Marshal intends to punish the cavalry brigade and infantry brigade. On this battlefield, openly fighting with brother troops is not lighter than the first battle of the Fourth Division," Li Jie said lightly, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, just waiting to see how Chen Kefu would punish these two descendant troops.

Chen Kefu didn't care about Li Jie's words, he knew very well that if today's matter did not have a satisfactory result. In the future, the internal affairs of the Liaodong Army will definitely not be able to work together as well as the broken barracks in the past. After all, today's Northeast Army is no longer the 3,000 or 10,000 troops. If they are nearly 80,000 soldiers and horses, and occupy several cities, they can be said to be proud of Liaodong.

These generals, big and small, are now like him at the beginning, they have begun to have their own soldiers and horses, have their own subordinates, and have formed small interest groups one after another, occupying small hills one after another. Although on the surface, all the small hills are under this hill of their own. However, if it cannot be handled properly, then the instability of the army's morale is inevitable. And he also wants to take this opportunity today to knock on the more and more proud and complacent generals in the army. …,

When you are the boss, you can't blindly show favor to your subordinates, you have to make a move when it's time to make a move, so that everyone knows who the boss is.

"The Heavy Infantry Brigade was supposed to be an elite trip in the future with high hopes, but it is a pity that it does not want to forge ahead, and it does not have the honor and sense of responsibility of half a soldier. The ceremony has only just passed, but some have forgotten the oath they took to the flag. In that case, then you should not be a soldier again, and you are also not worthy of the banner that bears the honor of the entire army. Li Shimin, Li Xuanba, you two go out and bring the banner of the heavy infantry brigade"

When Li Shimin heard that Chen Kefu actually said that they were not worthy of being a soldier and did not deserve to have a flag, his face changed greatly. Although he still doesn't understand what Chen Kefu wants, he is smart enough to feel that something is wrong. Even old subordinates like Zhang He, Chen Kefu didn't save half face, and if he said that he would be dismissed, he would be dismissed, let alone these newly formed troops.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Shimin knelt there, lying on the ground and unwilling to move.

"Commander Li, have you learned to disobey orders? Do you know what happens when you resist orders in the army? Hmmm"

Li Xuanba also saw that his brother-in-law was angry, so he hurriedly pulled up Li Shimin and snatched the brigade flag of the heavy infantry brigade from the flag guard beside him, and walked in front of Chen Kefu with Li Shimin in three or two steps, and handed the flag over.

Chen Kefu took the black battle flag embroidered with the four big characters of the heavy infantry brigade, threw it on the ground, and pulled out a horizontal knife from his waist with a bang. The silver boots suddenly stepped on the black brigade flag, leaving a striking footprint, before everyone could react. Chen Kefu pulled the corner of the flag with one hand, held the sword in the other, and went down with a sword, and the black battle flag of the heavy infantry brigade was split in two.

Everyone was stunned, this shocked them even more than Chen Kefu just now to remove all officers from the Fourth Division. A military flag represents a unit. And since the brigade flag of this heavy infantry brigade was awarded to the heavy infantry brigade, it also represents the existence of this unit. This is a brigade flag that carries and represents the heavy infantry brigade, and it is a banner that all the officers and men of the heavy infantry brigade deserve to defend with their lives. However, now, Chen Kefu threw him on the ground in front of the three armies, trampled on him, and destroyed the flag with a sword.

The flag is lost, and the army is extinguished. The heavy infantry brigade lost its brigade flag, which also means that there is no longer this unit in the sequence of the Liaodong Army.

Li Shimin's face was pale and pale, he was grinding his father to join the broken military camp, but it was really for excitement and fun for a long time. But the longer he entered the broken barracks, the more he was attracted by the bloody atmosphere in the broken barracks. In the end, he refused his father's request to let him follow the army back to the court, and stayed with his younger brother. From a small soldier of a heavy cavalry battalion, to the battalion commander of the New Army, to the commander of the future ace heavy infantry brigade of the Northeast Army. Even the position of brigade commander was already vacant, and he believed that it would not be long before he would be able to sit in that position.

The brigade flag of the heavy infantry brigade is very precious to him in ordinary times, and several of the bravest soldiers in the army were specially selected from the regiment to form a flag protection team to protect this flag. Now, this most beloved and precious banner has been destroyed in front of the three armies.

"Handsome? What does this mean? Li Benlei hurriedly took Chen Kefu's hand, but his reaction had already had no effect, the brigade flag of the heavy infantry brigade had been divided into two, half of which was printed with Chen Kefu's footprints and abandoned on the battlefield that was still sprinkled with blood, but one side was held by Chen Kefu in his hand.

Chen Kefu held the half of the flag, held it high in the air, and showed it to the officers and men of the three armies.

"Every flag represents a unit, and if you lose the flag, you lose your troops. The loss of a flag is the greatest shame of a unit, and today, in front of the three armies, the commander has split the brigade flag of the heavy infantry brigade in two, which is a shame for the entire heavy infantry brigade. I announce that the Northeast Army will revoke the number of heavy infantry brigades, and in the future, there will no longer be such a unit in the battle sequence of the Northeast Army that cannot carry the honor and responsibility of soldiers. Chen Kefu's words were like an awl, piercing the hearts of all the soldiers of the heavy infantry brigade. …,

"In view of the performance of the Heavy Infantry Brigade, the General ordered that the number of the Heavy Infantry Brigade be abolished and changed to the First Heavy Infantry Brigade of the Reserve, which was listed as an auxiliary army, and everyone no longer enjoyed the glorious title of warrior. From now on, all officers and men of the 1st Heavy Infantry Brigade of the Reserve will no longer be on active duty, and all previously conferred military ranks will be withdrawn. And no more brigade flags, this half of the flag with the print of my boots is the brigade flag of your reserve 1st Heavy Infantry Brigade. ”

"The ranks of all the men of the 1st Heavy Infantry Brigade of the Reserve Force were changed to reserve ranks, which were used only in the reserve service, and the rank rank was three poles lower than that of the active service, and the salaries of the officers and men of the reserve were one-third of that of the officers and men on active duty. The general will specially allow you to take your shame this time to participate in the next ambush on the Liao River, and the lost honor must be regained by yourself, if not, then you will always be an auxiliary soldier of the reserve, and you can no longer enjoy the glorious honor of the soldiers. ”

Chen Kefu's punishment of the heavy infantry brigade can be said to be unprecedentedly severe, directly revoking the number of the unit, and even the ranks of officers and soldiers have been changed to reserve ranks. The honor of the soldiers was completely deprived, not to mention the treatment and salary of the soldiers.

Looking at the brigade flag that only half was left, the big men of the heavy infantry brigade also lowered their arrogant heads one by one, and many people shed tears of remorse. On the spur of the moment, they completely lost their honor as soldiers. This is even more unacceptable to them than losing the battle.

The troops surrounding Nancheng looked at them with some sadness, everyone didn't expect that the commander was so severe, and the severity of the punishment this time was like a raging storm, so that there was no room for resistance. Zhang He, the commander of the Fourth Division, stood in his queue with the same pale face, at this time he had no more than half a point in his heart, and he was not satisfied with Chen Kefu's decision to punish the Fourth Division, and he was only afraid in his heart.

Continue to ask for a monthly pass and a fifty ah, brothers, give it a little bit, if you don't have a monthly pass, give a recommended ticket......,
