Section 55

The stone was seriously injured, listening to the news really shocked Cheng Zhi and Zheng Pusheng, they are all people who have fought side by side with the stone, and they know very well what kind of combat ability the young "idiot platoon leader" has, that kind of extraordinary skill, not to mention seeing it, or hearing about it, the appearance of the stone can be said to have broken the space of their imagination and completely opened their horizons.

But now that even the stones are injured and can't move, what kind of tragic battle situation must have been encountered before?

Accompanied by Liu Wenfeng, they rushed to the position of the first class in a few words, and a few steps away, Zheng Pusheng shouted loudly: "Stone, I'm Zheng Pusheng, how is it?" ”

The clever Xiao Shandong had already told him the news of the regiment commander and battalion commander coming over in advance, so after hearing this voice, Shi was not too surprised, with the help of Lao Meng, he staggered and wanted to stand up, but the pain in the wound made him gasp a few breaths of cold air.

Zheng Pusheng stepped forward quickly, grabbed the stone from the side, felt his body trembling because of extreme pain, Zheng Pusheng asked with concern, "Where is the injury?" Have you dealt with it? ”

"Battalion commander, we have completed the task you gave us in one platoon." Stone gritted his teeth and said tremblingly.

"Okay, good, good, I already knew you wouldn't let us down, with you here, the little devil didn't want to get any benefits!" Zheng Pusheng said with relief, especially after knowing the fierceness of the battle, the appreciation of the stone is really from the heart and from the heart, to be honest, after the failure of last night's night attack, in the thoughts of the battalion headquarters and the regiment headquarters, they will definitely not be able to hold their positions, the best situation is that some people break through and come back, how would they have thought that tonight, they can still see them here.

"Battalion Commander Zheng, you take the brothers of the third company to the battalion headquarters to rest, if you let Brother Zhonglin know that the stone is so seriously injured, you will have to settle accounts with me at that time!" Cheng Zhi, the head of the regiment on the side, said with a chuckle after the two of them finished greeting.

"Don't worry, I will immediately arrange for medical staff to retreat the wound for the stone, and never let him go to the front line again until his injury is completely healed." Zheng Pusheng replied seriously.

Cheng Zhi nodded, glanced at Zheng Pusheng with satisfaction, his eyes fell on the stone again, and stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, and said with concern: "The Japanese army is still raging on our land, and the people are still suffering in the war. ”

Listening to the regiment leader's impassioned words, Shi Shi's blood was boiling all over his body, and he immediately raised his voice and said: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, when the injury is healed, I will definitely follow the regiment commander and fight the little devil to the death." ”

Cheng Zhi nodded, didn't say more, and turned around and left the position of a platoon accompanied by two guards.

Everyone around stood up and saluted, silent, until they watched the figure of the head of the regiment disappear into the darkness, and then slowly lowered their arms, Zheng Pusheng's expression also became solemn, far from being as calm as when he followed the head of the regiment just now, "Stone, I heard you talk about the river?" How many brothers survived in the second row? ”

When Shi Shi heard the sound, his tone also changed, and he asked sharply: "Battalion commander, why do you want to attack at night?" Why let the company commander go to his death? ”

As soon as the stone's words came out, everyone around was stunned, and looked at the stone in surprise, you know, Battalion Commander Zheng is not the brigade staff officer who came last time, although the staff officer is a captain, but he does not lead troops to fight, and the difference between him and Battalion Commander Zheng is too great, and it is even more safe, Battalion Commander Zheng is the only one left among the original officers of their three companies.

Zheng Pusheng didn't seem to think that the stone would talk to him like this, the night was very dark, and the artillery bombardment on the other side was also sparse, which made his vision very affected, and he could vaguely see the face of the stone, but he couldn't see the expression on it clearly, but thinking of the stone's horizontal eyebrows and angry eyes, Zheng Pusheng not only did not get angry, but smiled bitterly, personally supported the stone, and said to Lao Meng beside him: "I will talk to the stone in private!" ”

Lao Meng Lao has become a fine person, and when he heard the voice, he didn't know what to do, so he immediately waved his hand and said to the people in the first class: "Go to the front position and keep an eye on it, don't let the little devils take advantage of the loopholes." ”

Watching everyone leave, Zheng Pusheng sat down with the stone, and even made a thin blanket on the ground for him, where is that action like an officer who leads a battalion of men and horses to kill the enemy and charge into battle, more like a younger brother who takes care of everything, and when the stone is lying down, he said: "Stone, the above things are not as simple as you see, the order of the night attack is given by the brigade commander himself, and the only thing we can do is to carry it out!" ”

Shi thought of Zhou Yuan's care for him, and thought that the day before yesterday he was still teaching him to broaden his horizons and look far, but now he was separated by yin and yang, and his heart was extremely sad and indignant, and he asked unwillingly: "The brigade commander gave an order, didn't he discuss it with the regiment commander?" ”

"Do you think that between superiors and subordinates, there is absolute obedience and heart-to-heart? Do you think that there is a mass of harmony between the upper peaks? Zheng Pusheng asked rhetorically, and then seemed to remember that he couldn't understand these things with the stone for the time being, so he shook his head with a wry smile, and sighed: "Stone, when you reach a certain level, you will be able to know the Tao in it, to put it simply, where there are interests, there is fighting, and where there are people, there is struggle!" ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi also disappeared into silence, slowly recalling the words of the battalion commander, and slowly, he found that he seemed to have found a clue from the battalion commander's words.

A feud between the upper echelons? The estrangement between the regimental commander and the brigade commander? In this kind of level of competition, for the so-called invisible and untouchable rights, do you have to sacrifice soldiers like them? How can such a battle be fought? This kind of situation when the Japanese army is strong on the opposite side, and the various departments still calculate each other, it is simply a situation of death and no life.

"Battalion commander, which brigade commander doesn't want us to win the battle?" Stone asked, puzzled.

Zheng Pusheng was stunned for a moment, and said, "Win the battle? Who doesn't want their troops to win? When the national disaster is at the head, if you win a battle, and if someone helps to send it, then you can soar to the sky, who doesn't like this huge temptation? ”

"Then why do you need a night raid? That's obviously not the slightest chance of success. Stone asked unrelentingly.

"No chance of success? The battle was not fought, and who knows whether the outcome will be won or lost? Stone, don't think about these things, the relationship between the upper peaks and each other, for the time being, is not as clear as you can imagine, there are too many games involved, too many interests, the darkness and dirtiness in it, I don't know it's a relief. Zheng Pusheng sighed and said, since he became the battalion commander, he seemed to have aged a lot in vain, and even sighed more.

The stone refused to let go, and kept chanting: "Dirty, dark, game ......"

After a while, he read again in vain: "Interests? What other benefits can a night raid have? What benefits can this kind of loss of troops and defeat of hundreds of brothers in vain? ”

Zheng Pusheng glanced at the stone helplessly, there is no way to do anything about this kid who drills the tip of the horns and doesn't seem to give up if he doesn't understand.

Seeing the stone reciting one word after another, pondering carefully, Zheng Pusheng still said flatly after thinking about it: "Actually, thinking through these things, from the point of view of the result, it will not play the slightest role, what you see now is just a defeat, the result after the defeat, but as I said before, what if this battle is won?" ”

"Can such a battle be won?" Stone said indignantly.

"In this world, there is no battle that must be won, and conversely, there is no battle that must be lost, and the most critical issue is the risks and benefits that can be obtained!" Zheng Pusheng analyzed carefully.

Shi listened to Zheng Pusheng's words, and gradually calmed down, on the battlefield on the north bank of the Xiaoliu River, there was now a fierce sound of gunfire, and it could be seen that there were a large number of troops referring to the attack, but Shishi's interest was not put on this, but pondering the words of the battalion commander, "Risk, benefit?" ”

Reading these two words, following the battalion commander's thoughts, Shi finally thought of something, and he suddenly found helplessly, as if this kind of casualties and losses were difficult for them to accept, but for their entire brigade, it seemed a little indifferent? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shiver, and there was a chill all over his body.

"Risk? The night attack failed, the company commander and they were martyred, and the most risk was the loss of Xiaoliuhe! At most, the defense area of our three companies is occupied by devils! Stone said uneasily.

"Yes, do you think they don't know the danger in it? Do you think they don't know what is going on here in Xiaoliuhe? Then you are wrong, who can hold such a high position and lead a team of thousands of people, who is mediocre and which is incompetent? All they are doing is the huge potential benefits of this low risk. Zheng Pusheng said in a voice that almost cried: "The night attack failed, but a hundred brothers died, and the devils also crossed the river, but in the case of losing battles everywhere, these hundreds of people are just a number, and who will care about this loss?" But do you see the situation now? After gathering strong forces, in one night, you can uproot the devils and eat the devils of nearly two squadrons in one go, this is the battle feat! When reporting to the division headquarters, the troops attacking at night were to lure the enemy and paralyze the devils, and in the face of such a victory, who would say that they were not properly commanded? ”

Zheng Pusheng's words suddenly made Shishi, who finally understood the inside story, break out in a cold sweat, and his face was colorless.
