Zhejiang-Jiangxi border, fifteen kilometers west of Changshan City, Baishi Town checkpoint.

Standing at the fork in the road in front of the checkpoint, Wu Ming, who was heavily armed, took his gaze from Dai Ziran, an operational staff officer who was taking pictures of more than 30 brothers from the special service company who were wearing gray-blue ragged military uniforms and lying on the ground as "corpses," as well as Shi Steve, a medical officer who was treating the wounded, and several brothers from the medical team, and turned his gaze to the lush mountains to the west.

After observing for a long time, Wu Ming, who was quite helpless about the sudden attack of the Red Army by his headquarters, turned his gaze to the relatively flat terrain in the south again, and finally said to Long Shaogang, deputy regimental and commander of the first battalion, Zhang Dongning, staff officer of the regiment, and several company commanders who were standing beside him:

"This checkpoint is well built, the location and construction of the guard post and the fire point are good, it can be seen that the twenty days of hard work of the brothers of the first battalion have not been in vain, otherwise today it was suddenly attacked by hundreds of people, and there were more than six brothers killed and wounded, Deputy Battalion Commander Yin——"

"Here!"

Yin Dizhong, a 27-year-old former operational staff officer of the headquarters and now deputy commander of the 1st Battalion, replied loudly.

Wu Ming nodded appreciatively to the deputy battalion commander who didn't speak much: "In view of the excellent performance of the brothers of the first battalion and the second company, every brother of the second company is specially rewarded with twenty oceans, and the second company is collectively commended!" ”

The brothers of the first battalion and the second company in the nearby fortifications were overjoyed, the high reward of the twenty oceans almost caught up with the military salary of three months, and the honor of being able to bring collective commendation for this first time, the second company caught up with the brother company of the second battalion in the first battle, and their faces were bright.

"Thank you!"

The sturdy Yin Dizhong thanked him loudly, he was one of the first staff officers to be transferred to Wu Ming's side from the headquarters organs, and he was also a member of the combat staff of the original teaching team who followed Wu Ming with a happy heart, so he naturally knew that Wu Ming treated his brothers well.

Wu Ming stared at Yin Dizhong's eyes: "Dizhong, you have a good way to lead the troops, you are diligent and steadfast, and you are firmly willed, and you are deeply supported by your brothers, I and the deputy of the Dragon Regiment are in our eyes, I will report your merits this time to the headquarters, and propose that you be promoted to the commander of the first battalion." ”

"Before the official appointment of the headquarters, you are temporarily acting as the battalion commander, shouldering the responsibility of commanding the whole battalion, the two checkpoints in your defense area are the most important checkpoints on my western Zhejiang border, you must guard it for me, the next step is to increase the allocation for you, expand the barracks in the town and the surrounding guard fortifications, I hope you continue to work hard!"

"Tuanza ......"

Yin Dizhong knew that the day of Lu Dao would come sooner or later, but he was still shocked when he heard it with his own ears at this moment, and his eyes were slightly red with emotion.

The deputy of the regiment, Long Shaogang Le Ha Luha, stepped forward and patted Yin Dizhong on the shoulder: "Dizhong, I can rest assured that you are with a battalion of brothers, my regimental defense area is wide, the regimental headquarters affairs are heavy, and the companies directly under it have not yet completed the second phase of the training plan, and the overall defense work of our regimental defense area needs to be improved urgently, so I don't have the energy to serve as the battalion commander anymore, do it well!" ”

"Brother Xie! The younger brother will never live up to the expectations of the group and the eldest brother. "Yin Dizhong has a lot of respect for his big brother Long Shaogang.

Long Shaogang turned his head and glanced at the disguised brothers in front of him who had already gotten up from the ground and taken off their gray-blue tattered military uniforms, and then at Wu Ming and the others who were walking towards the machine gun fortifications to the south, took half a step forward and whispered:

"Immediately write a summary report, noting that more than 100 communist troops were killed and wounded, but the force is limited and cannot pursue, so we can only watch them flee, and make a list of the 32 brothers killed in the battle and more than 50 wounded brothers in our department, and hand it over to me later, and then report it to the headquarters from the regimental seat."

Yin Dizhong was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly distinguished: "There are basically no casualties in our department...... Big brother, due to the rapid response and strong firepower of our second company, it repelled more than 300 strong enemies in only five or six minutes, and the brothers of the second company only killed one person in battle, wounded five, and all the others were intact. ”

Long Shaogang slapped Yin Dizhong's head, looked around, and said viciously:

"Stupid! Do what Lao Tzu says, otherwise how can you get more pension for the brother who died in battle? Where did you get your merit? The regiment said, our regiment has just come to station, and the surrounding environment is extremely complicated and full of dangers, so it will take at least half a year to strengthen combat strength and stabilize the situation, and during this period, we must guard against the blind command of the big men in Quzhou and move us indiscriminately, understand? This matter is purely a last resort under special circumstances, and it will not be an example, and it will be kept strictly confidential! ”

"Yes! Subordinates remember! ”

Yin Dizhong was stunned for a moment, thinking of his disdain just now when he saw Dai Ziran commanding the officers and soldiers of the special service company to put on specially worn Red Army uniforms and splash pig blood on disguised corpses, he suddenly understood, and also deeply realized Wu Ming and Long Shaogang's good intentions of taking the opportunity to promote him.

In the evening, Wu Ming led the two reinforced companies back to the regimental headquarters in Changshan City, and after summarizing with Long Shaogang and others, he reported the battle situation to the headquarters through a special telephone line, and then Zhang Dongning wrote a complete battle report and sent it to the Quzhou headquarters tomorrow.

After everything was dealt with, Wu Ming, who was very happy in his heart that he had not completely fought with the Red Army, brought his young adjutant and young son of the martial arts family in western Zhejiang to the health team.

"Brother Ming, you have to warn Brother Spy Company that you can't abuse prisoners of war...... If it weren't for the little brother's desperate blockade just now, the four Red Army spies caught by the spy company in Baishi Town would probably have been killed by them. ”

Wu Ming was greatly annoyed, looked left and right, pointed to the figure that jumped into the front left under the big tree to avoid the limelight, and shouted loudly: "Lu Kuiyuan, your grandson rolls over to Lao Tzu!" ”

Without waiting for Lu Kuiyuan, who was slow to come, Wu Ming turned to Dai Ziran, who was running in a hurry, and gave an order: "Go up and disarm him and lock him up for three days!" This is a serious violation of discipline, and a soldier can do anything to win on the battlefield, but once he leaves the battlefield, he must have the demeanor of a soldier! ”

"Dai Ziran, carry out the order, you are the operational staff officer who supervises military discipline, if you dare to engage in favoritism, Lao Tzu will dare to pull down your face and clean you up!"

Dai Ziran and the hundreds of officers and soldiers around him were frightened, and no one expected that the regiment commander, who rarely got angry, would be furious about the mistreatment of prisoners.

Lu Kuiyuan was also so frightened that he didn't react when he was disarmed and escorted down by the guards.

After publicly dealing with this extremely bad incident, Wu Ming asked Steve to accompany him to visit the injured brother and the four frightened captives, and when he came out, he asked with concern: "I have just moved here, everything is not perfect, and if there are any practical difficulties that I need to solve, let's talk about it now." ”

Steve smiled: "No, you gave the best yard to our health team, and equipped the little brother with two brand-new special cars, and added so many medical equipment and medicines one after another, which has far exceeded the little brother's expectations, what is not satisfied?" I guess it's enough to run a hospital! ”

"That's right, after the transfer of many industries in Quzhou, I have a little money in my hand, so I ordered a batch of German medical equipment, including X-ray machines, from Kenyan's foreign company, which is estimated to be delivered after the Spring Festival. In the next step, we will set up a field hospital, and the scale will not be lower than that of a division-level field hospital, and when the engineer company has completed the construction of several tunnel-type workshops in Maoliangwu, it will start construction, but the personnel recruitment and training plan should be carried out as soon as possible, and the Japanese army will gradually encroach on the territory of North China after stabilizing the northeast, and the ambition of all-out aggression will be clearly revealed, and the big war that will determine the fate of the country and the nation will not be too far away, and we will not have a few years to live comfortably. Wu Ming thought long-term.

"Brother Ming, please rest assured, I will find a way to speed up the implementation of the plan."

After speaking, Steve added, "There's something I'd like to hear from you...... Considering that there will be more and more interns in the health team, and that Zi Ran and I are about to come with three junior students from our alma mater in Hangzhou, in order to ensure adequate medical practice, I think it is best to set up another hospital in Changshan in addition to relying on the advanced study and basic learning of Quzhou Keats Hospital, so that there will be more practical opportunities and it will be more beneficial to cultivate talents. ”

"During this time, I walked around the city and found that there is no Western medicine in Changshan except for two Chinese medicine pharmacies, and the people's living standards are very low, and it is not easy to see a doctor.

Wu Ming immediately agreed: "I agree, this is a good thing in one fell swoop, and I will instruct Zhang Dongning to suspend the construction of the barracks and build Changshan Hospital first...... By the way, isn't there a courtyard next to the barracks gate on the east side? Repair it a little, tear down the wall and build a gate is a good place, where it is close to the ferry ** convenient and there are many people coming and going. ”

"That's what I mean, it's the best place." Steef smiled brightly.
