Section XX

As soon as the day dawned, there was a burst of cheers in the headquarters of the 302nd Regiment, and the staff officer on duty who answered the phone could not hold back the excitement in his heart without waiting for the phone to be put down, and even shouted wildly: "Win, regimental seat, a great victory for the first battalion, a great victory for the first battalion!" ”

Ji Hongru, the head of the 302nd regiment, had just fallen asleep at this time, and immediately raised his head instinctively when he heard the sound, and said with bloodshot eyes and said, "What did you say?" Say it again? ”

At this time, the entire command headquarters was quiet, and the eyes of all the officers, communicators, and orderlies fell on the staff officer on duty, only to see him rush to Ji Hongru in three steps and two steps, his face was flushed with excitement, he didn't even care about saluting, and shouted loudly when he opened his mouth: "Regiment commander, the first battalion has won a great victory, and the commander of the stone battalion has set up an ambush in Loess Mountain, and has fought three times in one night, defeating the Gutian Brigade of the 58th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army!" ”

"Bang" A fist slammed into the table in front of him, and a huge sound echoed in the quiet headquarters, making everyone startled, but when they looked at the people who waved their fists, they showed strange expressions one by one, and now the head of the regiment was full of surprise on his face, where was the slightest anger?

Ji Hongru was completely sleepy at the moment, he obviously didn't expect that in just one day and one night, the stone would send them such a big gift, this was the first battle after most of the training of their 51st Division, and this contact was won by their 302nd Regiment, which was a big deal.

"When did this happen, and where is the 1st Battalion now?" Ji Hongru is worthy of being an experienced officer, and after the initial surprise, he quickly calmed down and asked.

"Report to the regiment, the news is reported by the supply platoon of the first battalion left behind in Nanguan, the main force of the first battalion has now been pushed to the front line of Loess Mountain, according to their report, the specific casualties will not be reported for a while." The staff officer had not yet recovered from the excitement at the moment, and kept waving his arms.

"Loess Mountain!" Ji Hongru couldn't help but read a sentence when he heard this, and then nodded with a smile on his face and said: "When I received the report last night, this kid Shi also put the main force at Han Daokou, and he dared to advance to Loess Mountain in one night, it seems that last night's battle should have hurt the devil, this kid deserves to be able to make such a big reputation, this kid has the ability to lead troops to fight, but he does have a set." ”

The regimental attachment, chief of staff and others on the side have already gathered around, the first battalion is a battalion of their 302nd regiment, the battle is fought by a battalion, that is, their 302nd regiment fights, and now it is a great victory just in contact with the devil, needless to say, the rewards above make them all smile on their faces, full of joy.

Chief of Staff Lin Xiufeng also did not have the previous suspicion of the stone at this time, and said with a chuckle: "Tuanzao, I knew that Battalion Commander Shi was so strong, I should have acted with them, and I would have shared some credit at that time!" ”

His provocative joke naturally made everyone laugh, and Ji Hongru also laughed: "Xiufeng said this, but you can see the outside, you are the chief of staff, the battle plan and the strategy to deal with the enemy are all arranged by you, and if you win the battle, no matter where you are, you can't run away." ”

Lin Xiufeng's cheeks suddenly turned red and said: "Tuanzuo's words, but I am deeply ashamed, how to fight this battle, but Tuanzuo personally arranged it, and the battle was also fought by the brothers of the first battalion, so I ran errands behind and didn't do anything." ”

Haha smiled, Ji Hongru said: "Okay, okay, on the matter of meritorious deeds, it is natural for the commanders to have a headache, as soldiers, everything is focused on protecting the family and defending the country, Xiufeng, the situation in the first battalion has not been fully reported, I think you will report the situation reported by the first battalion truthfully, and then we will go to Loess Mountain to see the heroes of our 302nd regiment." ”

Lin Xiufeng naturally didn't have any opinions, and immediately nodded and went busy, and at the same time, the entire regiment headquarters was busy again, but at this time, everyone had smiles on their faces, obviously not recovering from the previous excitement.

At about four o'clock in the morning, a jeep dragged a long "tail" to the vicinity of Huangshan Tu, and the stone, who had already received the news, personally took Liu Wenfeng, Hu Zi and other officers to meet the side of the road, and as soon as he saw the car stop, he raised his right arm and saluted a standard military salute.

The car suddenly came to the laughter of Ji Hongru, the commander of the 302nd regiment, since receiving the situation of the first battalion's victory on the front line of Loess Mountain, the commander of Ji, who usually has a serious expression, has not disappeared from the smile on his face, which makes people look like a spring breeze, and now looking at the officers of the first battalion who are still covered in blood, he smiled with satisfaction, but opened his mouth but teased: "Stone, stone, when will you play this set, what, I, Ji someone, in your eyes, is the kind of person who needs to be patted on the back?" ”

Shi couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment, as if he didn't know how to answer all of a sudden, but Lin Xiufeng, who came with Ji Hongru on the side, opened his mouth to relieve him, and said with a smile: "Battalion Commander Shi, I came here to apologize to you this time." ”

"Apologize?" Shi Shi was taken aback by his words, and immediately grinned: "Where did the chief of staff start with this?" ”

Lin Xiufeng laughed and said: "It's a shame to say, I always thought that Battalion Commander Shi could be compared with Commander Zhang, but it was just a little luckier, plus some good people exaggerated nonsense, but I didn't expect that it was only a day and a night, and the first battalion defeated a Japanese brigade in a hard-fought bloody battle. ”

Shi couldn't help but glance at Lin Xiufeng, and couldn't help but be stunned when he saw a calm smile on his face, to be honest, he didn't expect the dignified lieutenant colonel chief of staff to say such a thing, this kind of thing admitting mistakes to his subordinates, he seemed to have encountered it for the first time.

Ji Hongru said with a smile on the side: "Which one of you two are playing, a chief of staff and a battalion commander, dare to come here to play peace!" ”

Lin Xiufeng said with a smile: "Regiment commander, don't say it clearly, if you make a mistake, you have to have the courage to admit it, the first battalion commander is so good at fighting, I will have to come to him for advice in the future." ”

"Okay, okay, this matter, you two will talk about it in detail in private, Shi, let's talk about the battle situation last night first, just now the division seat called in person to inquire about the situation, but I, as the head of the regiment, didn't know anything, but I was well criticized." Ji Hongru interrupted the nagging of the two of them and said with a smile.

Shi hurriedly said: "Tuanza, the main reason is that the distance between several battlefields is too far, and I am worried that the devils in Yongcheng will suddenly kill back the carbine, so I can't send more people to clean up the battlefield, and the third company commander has not come back until now." ”

"Oh? Listening to what Battalion Commander Shi said, weren't the battles last night in one area? Lin Xiufeng asked with some puzzlement.

The stone nodded, and then told the story of last night's battle and a series of arrangements without reservation, and even the thrilling situation of being touched by the devil for miles away and the risky move of using the second company to pretend to be a large army storm, there was no reservation, and as the stone talked about the thrilling scene of last night paragraph by paragraph, Lin Xiufeng on the side was already dumbfounded, and even Ji Hongru looked at the stone in disbelief, and the previous smile on his face had been replaced by complete shock.

Looking at the stone that talked eloquently and considered almost everything on the battlefield, the first thought that came to their minds was, is this guy really the person who was called an idiot more than half a year ago? If even such people can be called idiots, then what are they? As for the chief of staff Lin Xiufeng, the eyes looking at the stone are even more complicated, to be honest, for people like the stone, Lin Xiufeng has always been a little prejudiced before, after all, a person who has not undergone formal military education and training, and may not even be able to read a map, wants to command thousands of troops and horses to face the enemy, it is too reluctant, after all, if there is no map in his mind, how can he give full play to the army's own combat power? How can the troops be able to respond to the enemy's various attacks with dexterity?

However, the young officer in front of him completely subverted his thoughts, listening to his extremely detailed account of last night's battle, Lin Xiufeng's only feeling was shock, because he put himself in his position and found that he only took a battalion to resist a brigade of devils, how could he not dare to pull the troops into the field to entangle with devils, after all, the fierce firepower of the Japanese army has been taught many times in the past half a year, and on the combat quality of soldiers, It is not even comparable to these security regiments drawn from all over the world, such a force, not relying on fortifications but taking the initiative to attack in the field to fight the Japanese army, is really too unbelievable and shocking.

But it's such a battle, the stone in front of him, but it was won by force, not only won, but also used less troops than the devil to eat the devil's two squadrons one by one, this kind of ability to command the battle, the ancient famous generals are probably just like this!

After Ji Hongru finished listening to the stone, he also sighed with emotion, but before they could say anything, a cannon suddenly sounded in the distance, and suddenly, the whole earth began to tremble.

Hearing this, Shi Shi was shocked and said, "Not good! The devil is up again! Go, madman, come with me! ”
