Section XXXVIII

At the corners of these dilapidated houses, several people in military uniforms walked towards them, and the person who was applauding them was Zheng Pusheng. Looking at the serious appearance of Xu Qiang, the new squad leader, Chen Daaxe was suddenly startled, and his face turned green.

"You don't know how to salute when you see the battalion commander coming?" Xu Qiang's face was even more ugly, these people were also brought out by him, he didn't want anything to happen, although Company Commander Zheng was also his own person, but now he was promoted to a battalion commander, who knows if there will be any changes after this person is promoted.

"Salute!" Lao Meng looked at the stunned appearance of the stone, and immediately shouted first, and then everyone in the first class immediately straightened up and raised their hands in the direction they came to salute.

Zheng Pusheng shook his head with a smile, and said with a smile after returning the salute: "It's all your own people, so don't be polite." Then he walked in front of the stone with concern, patted him on the shoulder, straightened his collar for him and said, "Shishi, if you see an official rank bigger than you in the future, you have to take the initiative to salute, do you know?" Some officers are not very capable, but they are full of style, and if you do this, you will offend people. ”

Shi scratched his head helplessly and said, "Company commander, I will remember." ”

Xu Qiang, who was on the side, hurriedly interjected and explained: "Company Commander Zheng has now been promoted to a battalion commander, and Platoon Commander Zhou is now the company commander of our 3rd Company. ”

"Promoted to battalion commander?" The stone was stunned for a moment, but then smiled and said, "Congratulations!" ”

If this was said by anyone, I am afraid that there would be no problem, but if it were replaced by a stone, he was stunned at first, and now he began to congratulate again, and he suddenly felt strange.

Zheng Pusheng smiled bitterly, patted Shishi's shoulder again, and then sat on the ground without any scruples, and said to Xu Qiang and Zhou Yuan behind him: "You can do what you discussed before." ”

I saw that the two of them immediately stood up and saluted, and replied solemnly: "Yes!" Then he turned and walked towards the other positions.

Zheng Pusheng turned his head to the stone and said, "Do you think I am very majestic after I am promoted to battalion commander?" ”

The bold guy nodded and said, "Well, it seems to be different from before." ”

The stone's words suddenly made Lao Meng and the others on the side tremble, but they didn't expect Zheng Pusheng to laugh out loud when he heard it, and then he hugged the stone's shoulder and said: "You kid dare to tell the truth, these years, up and down, one by one hypocrisy." Damn, the battalion commander of the shit, the people are gone, just the good sound has a fart, there are only about 80 people left in a battalion, what is this battalion commander? ”

Listening to Zheng Pusheng's louder and louder scolding, several people on the side suddenly closed their mouths in amusement, and they didn't dare to interject at all, only Shi said fearlessly: "There is no one now, when the battle is over, can't you replenish it?" ”

"Supplement? Stone, what you think is too simple, or Chen Daaxe is right. Zheng Pusheng sighed and said, but startled Chen Daaxe on the side. If this battle continues like this, not to mention our battalion, even the entire division may be wiped out, and the 61st Division will not be reduced to a regiment now, and I think we will be soon. ”

This time, he didn't even say a word, with his understanding of the battle situation, I am afraid that at this moment, I am not as deep as Lao Meng, and I don't know what to say at all.

Zheng Pusheng sighed and said: "Forget it, don't say these frustrating words, it's all the bosses who are worried about it, we can live until now, it's already good luck." As he spoke, Zheng Pusheng took out a paper cigarette from his pocket, unceremoniously threw it to the frightened Chen Daaxe, waved his hand and said, "You help me send it, and put the rest away, this thing is very expensive now." ”

"Alas!" As soon as they received the paper cigarettes, the uneasiness in Chen Daaxe's heart suddenly disappeared, and they were really excited when they faced this thing after a few days of "food shortage".

Seeing them busy on the side, Zheng Pusheng asked at the stone, "Is your head getting better now?" ”

Shi shook his head: "I still can't think of anything, but now there is no pain." ”

Zheng Pusheng nodded and said, "That's good, as long as you keep your life, you will have a way to remember it sooner or later." Then he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, my life was saved by you and a group of brothers, you can rest assured, as long as I still have my life, after the battle, I will definitely find the best doctor to treat you." And listening to the accent of your speech, it is very similar to the vicinity of the capital, if you have the opportunity to go there, listening to the people over there, you may also think of something. ”

Listening to Zheng Pusheng's words, Shi Shi not only did not have joy on his face, but said with a gloomy expression: "Staff Officer Zhang also told me this a few days ago. ”

"Staff Officer Zhang? Colonel Zhang Lingfu? He is back at the division headquarters now, but it would be best to do this with Staff Officer Zhang's personality and ability. Zheng Pusheng kept nodding and saying.

"Is Counselor Zhang okay?" Nodding his head, he said in surprise, his tone full of surprise.

"What's wrong?" Immediately, Zheng Pusheng seemed to remember something, and thought that they had been staying at the forefront of the stone, and they didn't even know about their promotion to battalion commander, and obviously didn't know anything about these situations, so he suddenly smiled and said, "You mean that Staff Officer Zhang was injured in the night attack last night." Then he said softly: "I remember, it seems that you have been following Staff Officer Zhang at that time." ”

Seeing the stone nodding continuously, Zheng Pusheng continued: "Staff Officer Zhang was a little injured last night, and it is because of this that I escaped, at that time, I was in a hurry, so I took a few brothers to escort Staff Officer Zhang to retreat backwards, looking for medical soldiers, and after the regiment commander heard the news, he immediately rushed to our location, I didn't expect the devil to be too cunning, and he came up with such a vicious method, alas! But our lives were saved, but we were also scolded miserably by the above, I, the small battalion commander, is nothing, I heard that our regiment commander was trained by the division and wanted to pull out a gun and commit suicide. ”

Shi Shi was startled, and suddenly there was a deep fear of this division commander who he had never seen before, how much power it would take to scold a regiment commander to the point of committing suicide.

"You don't know, Staff Officer Zhang is the most important person in the division, I heard that Staff Officer Zhang committed some crimes before and went to prison, as soon as the Anti-Japanese War broke out, he was released, and the division personally came to the door to invite our division, and it was reused as soon as he came." Speaking of this, Zheng Pusheng lowered his voice and said: "I heard that because of the different treatment of the division, it makes many people red-eyed, like Brigade Commander Li of the 153rd Brigade, and the relationship with Staff Officer Zhang is not very good." ”

Shi Shi was very surprised when he heard it, this was the first time he had heard about such a complicated relationship between the "upper peaks", and he couldn't think through this complicated situation for a while, so he could only say vaguely: "Staff Officer Zhang has the support of the division commander, so it should be fine." ”

Zheng Pusheng shook his head and looked at the other people in the first class who were already some distance away from them, and they were swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and suddenly said with peace of mind: "This is difficult to say, in fact, the relationship between this Brigade Commander Li and the division commander is not bad, do you think, if it weren't for the cronies of the division, you can sit in the position of the brigade commander?" Moreover, Brigade Commander Li is in our 51st Division, but he belongs to the veterans, and he has many good colleagues. The 305th Regiment was under the direct command of the 153rd Brigade. ”

Shi Shi was puzzled when he heard this, and asked puzzledly: "Battalion commander, what does this 305 regiment have to do with it?" ”

"It is said that the 305th Regiment belonging to our division is still in training and will soon be able to come to the front line, and Staff Officer Zhang has been appointed as the commander of the 305th Regiment." Zheng Pusheng himself took a cigarette and exhaled, leaning on the broken wall boredly, listening to the sound of gunfire around him and feeling the tremor of the earth.

The stone is constantly thinking about these things, for him, Staff Officer Zhang and others are really high and difficult to touch, although a few days ago, he and Staff Officer Zhang were good, but whether it is speech and demeanor, or command the battle, Staff Officer Zhang's calm and elegant demeanor has left an indelible impression on him, especially Staff Officer Zhang's successive organization of counter-charges, which makes the stone worship inexplicable. As for the formations and the art of war that Staff Officer Zhang explained in order to help him recover his memory, he kept the stone firmly in his heart, but he was such a god-like character in the heart of the stone, but he still had to face such a complicated situation, which really made him feel small and insignificant.

Looking up at the sky, Shi thought helplessly, he was a small soldier, what he should think about most should be how to save his life on the battlefield, and then slowly retrieve those lost memories, and about the affairs of those officers, what good way can he, a person with a blank head, think of? Even those people in Camp Commander Zheng's mouth, any one of them could pinch him to death with his little finger.

The stone smiled self-deprecatingly, and then followed the example of Camp Commander Zheng, leaned against the stone wall, and stared blankly at the sky.

Zheng Pusheng didn't know whether he was talking to himself or talking to him, and said calmly: "Shishi, I am really grateful to you, my life, but you saved it." ”

The stone didn't look back, because he didn't know what to say, saving people and being saved on the battlefield was actually the most ordinary thing.

And Zheng Pusheng continued to murmur: "Actually, if I were alone, I would die and die, but I really want to take a look at Qianqian before sacrificing my life for the country, even if I just look at it from a distance, I will die without regrets." ”

Listening to the words from the battalion commander's mouth, Shi seemed to feel that he shouldn't talk too much, but under curiosity, he still asked softly: "Battalion commander, what ...... Is Qianqian a woman? ”

Zheng Pusheng turned his head, and he didn't know whether he was surprised that Shi still knew that there were women in this world, or that he would ask this question, but when he thought that Shi had a problem with his brain, he nodded with a smile and said: "Qianqian is my fiancée, the most beautiful woman in the world, she is still waiting for me in the capital, if she knows that I am promoted to battalion commander, she should be very happy......
