Chapter 49 Rectification
Well, now I'm a company commander......
Whether I want it or not, and whether I'm ready or not, it's an order from above...... I'm the company commander.
And as soon as I took office, I threw a large number of recruits to me, and what is even worse is that I am still on the battlefield, on the battlefield where the Vietnamese army is attacking wave after wave...... I don't want to talk about any training integration, I don't even have a chance to get to know my subordinates.
"Comrade!" At this time, a company commander stumbled up to me and asked, "Comrade...... Which is Comrade Yang Xuefeng? ”
"I am!" I say.
"Report to the company commander!" The company commander stood up and saluted me......
But before he could say the following, he was kicked to the ground by the scholar next to him: "You fucking want to kill our platoon commander!" ”
"Yes!" Only then did the company commander realize that he had made another mistake just now, and he got up from the ground with some embarrassment and said, "Report to the company commander...... We have just received an order from our superiors, and all 72 soldiers of the first company resolutely obey the command of the company commander! ”
"Company commander?" My soldiers couldn't help but be a little stunned when they heard the title of a company commander.
"I just received an order from my superiors!" I explained to the soldiers: "Company Commander Luo is the commander of the fourth battalion, and I am the commander of the second company!" ”
"Good!" The warriors burst into cheers.
I can feel the joy of the fighters from the bottom of my heart, and I believe ...... This joy was not only due to the fact that I was the commander of the second company, but also because Company Commander Luo was the commander of the fourth battalion.
Some might say...... We've been promoted, so what's there to be excited about the soldiers?
In fact, the idea in the hearts of soldiers is also very simple, that is, they want people they can trust to be cadres, so that they will be convinced and rest assured. It also means they have a better chance of saving their lives on the battlefield. Or even if it is sacrificed, it is worthwhile. Otherwise...... If there is another battalion commander like Wang Jianfu. The warriors also had to listen to orders from people like him...... It's no wonder that it's not alive.
"A company commander!" I turned to the first company commander and said, "Just now as the first lesson for you to join the second company: no xiangshang-level salutes are allowed on the battlefield!" Do you understand? ”
"Yes! Got it! The commander of the first company replied and habitually stood up and saluted, but I stared at him, so he reacted and hurriedly put down the hand that was half raised. I and the soldiers couldn't help but want to laugh.
By the time the company commander left, I started to get into trouble...... The number of our troops is almost a company, and I just heard from a company commander that there are 72 recruits...... The casualties of this recruit company were large enough, and they were almost half lost in just one or two battles.
Now the remaining 72 people, plus the original 60 or so people of our second company, have a total of more than 130 people...... It's just right to form a company, but this organization is a bit chaotic, there are two company commanders in a company, and there may be six platoon commanders...... This is certainly not conducive to commanding operations. So this rectification is necessary.
But how should this rectification be changed?
I had two options, one was to separate the recruits as a platoon, and the other was to break up the recruits and divide them into various veteran platoons.
After thinking about it, I thought it would be better to choose the latter. The reason is that although the former seems to be easy to manage, it is actually a lot of trouble......
One: It is difficult for recruits to grow up when they form an army alone, everyone will not be able to fight, you look at me, I will look at you...... No one knows what to do next.
Second: This is likely to evolve into two camps: recruits and veterans...... Don't think that there will be no such problems among our revolutionary soldiers, others don't care about you on the battlefield, just like a company commander who made a mistake just now dared to kick him down...... Veterans have a set of methods for veterans to save their lives, and if recruits commit this bottom line...... It doesn't matter who you are. Kick it down.
After a long time, there will naturally be a gap between the recruit unit and the veteran unit.
What's more...... The recruits were scattered and assigned to the veteran units. Although it will temporarily affect the combat effectiveness of the veteran troops, the veteran can grow with the new soldiers.
The old man also said, "Let's bring new soldiers with veterans...... That's one look, two belts, three dozen! What does that mean? It's the first time the veteran fights, the recruits watch, the second time the veterans take the fight, and the third time let the recruits fight by themselves! In this way, the recruits will be familiar after a few times! ”
Thinking of this...... I saw that there was still time, so I shouted to the reader: "Xu Guoliang, you will be the leader of the second row in the future, bring me the second row!" ”
"What?" The reader couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then quickly answered yes.
I know what happened to him...... It's only been more than two months since we went to the battlefield, and the scholar has become a platoon commander from a small soldier, and I have become a company commander.
But that doesn't seem like a good thing...... Because the subtext of the quick promotion is actually a large number of casualties.
There is a reason why I will let the scholar be the platoon leader, and several squad leaders under me such as Bayonet and Li Zuolong ...... It's all liliang type, because the reader is educated, so the brain is good to learn things quickly, and look at the map to find directions or read documents or something...... These have advantages, don't think that this is inconsequential on the battlefield, this is a platoon that has to be these skills when it is acting alone.
Some might say...... Isn't it just right to let a company commander do the position of platoon commander? Everyone is a company commander, and now it's not possible to demote to be this platoon commander?
To be honest, this is really inappropriate, because although the commander of a company is a big officer, he can't fight, and the platoon commander has to often lead the soldiers to fight on the front line, so letting him do it will definitely not convince the soldiers, and maybe it will be bad.
At this time, I looked at the warriors with a strange look...... I couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
"Platoon commander......" The bayonet said with some reluctance: "No...... It should be called the company commander, let's take a look in the platoon in the future, don't forget our brothers! ”
I couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "I'm not going to other troops, isn't it still in the second company?" ”
"That's what I said!" The scholar replied, "But...... I always feel ...... Company commander, you're a little away from us! ”
"Don't say anything else!" Li Zuolong shook my hands with his strong hands and said, "No matter if you are a platoon commander or a company commander, as long as you are fighting with you, I have nothing to say!" ”
"Platoon commander!"
"Platoon commander!"
……
The soldiers came forward to shake hands with me one by one, which only made me feel inexplicably moved in my heart, I originally felt that there was no difference, but now I was a little reluctant to let them toss like this.
Alas! Who said that a soldier is an iron-clad man? We're obviously iron-striking men!
"Three platoon commanders!" Then I shouted into the intercom.
"Here!" After a while, I heard the answer of Liang Lianbing: "Congratulations to the second platoon commander, this is the company commander!" You should be a company commander...... Brother I'll serve! If you have any orders, just say them, and I will obey them resolutely! ”
I nodded movingly, with the support of these comrades-in-arms around me, I was more confident in whether I could be qualified as this company commander.
"Xiexie three platoon commanders!" I said, "You immediately transfer the troops, change the guard with the recruit company, and let them take a breath and do some rectification!" ”
"Yes!" Without saying a word, Liang Lianbing pulled the troops up.
At the same time, I took the recruit company back to the 393 heights and convened the backbone of the recruit company, that is, the company commander and platoon commander, for a short meeting.
"Comrades!" I said, "I know this is the first time you've been on the battlefield, and I think you've seen it and understood it...... The battlefield is not as simple as you think, we must learn how to fight and how to survive in the shortest possible time, otherwise we will only have a dead end in front of us! So...... I'm going to disrupt the company and distribute it to various veteran units, and some of them will inevitably become soldiers, what do you think? ”
"I'll talk about it first......," the company commander continued, "Originally, we thought that war was all about...... Two months ago, no one had ever been at war! It's going to be a hit...... But now it seems that it is not so simple, the veteran troops are different in fighting, and this gap is obvious. My personal thoughts are...... This choice is actually very simple, do we want this life? I still want to be a cadre! ”
"The company commander is right!" A soldier nodded and said, "If even his life is gone, then why do you need this cadre?" ”
"I'm okay with that!" Another soldier also agreed: "We don't know how to fight, so naturally we have to learn more from the veterans, and if we want to be a cadre, we need a little bit of a pound." Otherwise...... The skills are not as good as their own soldiers, and when they start a war, they have to ask what to do with the soldiers...... So what kind of cadre should you be? That's a shame! ”
So there was nothing wrong with splitting up the company, and in fact it was already expected by me...... There's already been a bloody lesson before, hasn't it?
"Good!" I nodded and said, "Soldiers, I want you to do your work...... I will pass on the order, and we will adopt the principle of merging a platoon of recruits with a platoon of veterans for rectification. Each veteran is responsible for bringing one or two recruits, and using the method of one look, two and three dozens, to make the recruits a qualified soldier as much as possible. As for whether he can be a cadre in the future...... It's up to you to fight for your life, is there a problem? ”
"No problem!" The fighters responded in unison.
"A company commander!" Zuihou said to Zhang Zuoliang: "In the future, you will be my deputy company commander!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhang Zuoliang couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard my words, he originally thought that he would be assigned to the army as a small soldier like other soldiers.
"Your task at this stage ......," I said, "is to do a good job in the ideological work of the recruit units and to do a good job in the integration of the two armies, understand?" ”
"Understood!" Zhang Zuoliang quickly understood...... This job is indeed only suitable for him, after all, the recruit company is his old subordinates, isn't it? (To be continued......)
