Lao Gao just wanted to stabilize these people's emotions and stabilize their emotions, so many people couldn't leave this big desert. Lao Gao's prestige in their hearts continued to rise, and more people believed what he said and listened to his command.

Lao Gao raised his voice a little more and said: "Collect the bones of the brothers, and then find the remains of our commander, check these vehicles again to see if they can still be used, if there is a good one, load these remains and transport them back to the base first." ”

After the order was given, he entered the ancient riverbed with Gao Jie and began to collect the remains. Seeing that the regiment commander had already taken the lead in doing something first, the others followed suit. The officer also arranged for some soldiers to stay on the high ground to guard, and Lao Gao shouted below: "You don't need to keep people, just come down, if people really beat him, then there are enough people to do something, all come down and work." ”

At this time, all of them worked very hard to bury the bodies, and no one was slacking off. A total of 314 bodies were recovered. All of them were identified one by one, and the commander was not found. The skeletal body of the commander is the most recognizable. There was no one in the pile of corpses, so you could be sure that they were okay.

Lao Gao knew very well in his heart that he would not be looking for the corpse of the Tuo Bone Dragon here, and that they would definitely hide in the main army. The reason why these people were asked to find his corpse was that Lao Gao wanted the old guy Tuo Bone Dragon to be here. If only he could be in there, it would be a great thing.

Since people are not dead, there is still value to be used. Lao Gao was like a doping, and the soldiers said proudly: "If Commander Tuo's body is not found, it can prove that he is safe now." We're going to retreat to base camp now, taking everything we can with us. Even the dead brothers were brought on board and could not be left in the wilderness. ”

After Lao Gao's order was given, he found that these people were a little hesitant. He thought it was because he brought these corpses, so he didn't care. Anyway, it was these officers who gave the order, and it was these officers who carried it out in detail. How you do it, that's your business.

All the corpses were simply processed and packed into trucks, and Lao Gao recounted the number of people who existed. There are only 211 people who can run and move with injuries, and then the seriously injured and lightly injured are classified and arranged. Dispatch some people who understand battlefield first aid to take care of these people. More than 50 mobile vehicles were commissioned on the spot, and the whole arrangement was absolutely admirable.

Several officers wanted to inquire about Lao Gao's details, but Lao Gao replied in a half-foolish manner: "I was originally engaged in warehouse operation and management, and it was a piece of cake for these dispatches." ”

The group immediately began to advance towards the base camp, and Lao Gao's prestige among these people was gradually established. There were many things that several officers asked Lao Gao for advice without thinking, and only with his permission could the matter be passed.

The number of surviving officers is not small, and out of more than 200 people, about 17 officers. Someone explained to Lao Gao that the officer ratio of the Sand Cavalry now basically accounts for one-third. The main reason for this is that there is no decommissioning system among the sand cavalry. It is a very deadly one, and now people live very long, many of them are sixty or seventy years old, and they are still serving in the ranks of the sand cavalry. He was probably a platoon commander at the time, even if he didn't do a good job. Forty or fifty years later, he is still a platoon commander, but his physical strength and ability have all declined, and he cannot directly command the operation. These can only be commanded by the trusted platoon commander, but he is in the squad platoon. Over the decades, there were many more officers in one platoon, but there were pitiful fewer soldiers. This is only the front line of the battle, if you talk about the middle and high-level command, the number of people is indescribable.

Hearing this person's narration, Lao Gao asked, "How many people are in your platoon now?" ”

"Not much." The officer replied: "There are almost 35 of our platoon commanders, and those who remain at the base plus those who can move and those who stay in the hospital can estimate that there are about 500 people now." ”

Seeing that Lao Gao was a little stunned, the officer said that the retirement system has not been implemented now, and the originally bloated team has become more rotten. And now we are the Commander of the Tuo, as long as we have a good relationship with him. Being promoted to an official and getting rich is like riding a helicopter, and now the army is basically a relative of their family.

After the officer finished speaking, he immediately felt that what he said was wrong. It's too much, ignoring the new head in front of him, and the one opposite is also appointed by Commander Tuo himself with a stroke of the pen. Since he dares to say behind his back that Commander Tuo is not, this matter is not a joke. The officer immediately apologized and said, "I just ...... It's all nonsense, don't take it seriously. ”

"Alas......" Lao Gao didn't mind at all and said: "You are very right, since I was given such a head by the head of the regiment, I feel that the whole family must be messed up if I continue like this." Don't worry, you should know who I am, just a lost civilian, who met your team by mistake, and there is no way for anyone to call us fate. I also know the situation among you, and it is not easy, so let's understand each other. ”

Don't look at what Lao Gao said very lightly, these officers are still a little cautious. Everyone didn't want to say what was in their hearts, in case anyone didn't keep their mouth shut in the future and asked Commander Tuo about it in advance. It's not easy to do, and if you talk too much today, it will be someone else's handle in the future. Since the head of the regiment did not ask down, these people are also much more relaxed.

Lao Gao asked: "Now get a few of you little leaders together, we have to think about how to go next, you are most familiar with this place, how to go, what to do now, I will listen to your opinions." ”

Lao Gao said very sincerely, and there was no arrogance at all. It is absolutely sincere to ask these people if there is any other way, this question asked by Lao Gao is also the most critical and important, Lao Gao knows very well in his heart that if he pulls so many corpses back to their base camp, there will be no three or four days at all, not to mention that these corpses will stink every other night. This path is completely unfeasible, and now it has to be thought of otherwise.

Lao Gao asked, and the answer was still the officer just now, and it seemed that this one was out of the way: "Regiment commander, if you ask us, we will suggest that you change the course of action." It's not realistic to go back to the base camp, and there is no place to go now, so let's go back to Stone Man City first! It's still far away, and we've also walked the road. What's more, the people there are more friendly to us, and I personally recommend going to Stone Man City to repair it first. ”

As soon as he finished his suggestion, a platoon commander of the same level did not interject, and he couldn't wait to express his opinion: "Don't want such a dead brother?" Bringing them with us is not only a drag on us, but it is also disrespectful to the corpses. ”
