Section 7: Internal and external troubles

Imagine your father being buried alive, your mother*, your siblings, and your young babies all being picked up by the enemy on the tip of your bayonet, imagining that almost all nine of your relatives were wiped out, imagining that you don't know and more than 300,000 people being slaughtered without the power to resist, what do you do when you see the enemy in front of you? In the face of this kind of national hatred and family hatred, this is no longer just a matter of life and death, as long as you are still alone, as long as you can still move, you will rush forward without hesitation, even if you will be pierced by a bayonet in the next moment, you will be shot into a honeycomb by bullets, even if you are crushed to pieces.

Looking at the officers who roared one after another beside him, looking at their hideous and terrifying faces, Shi couldn't help but glance at the chief of staff Wu Zihuai, who looked far older than his actual age, and roared angrily at this moment, far different from the usual cautiousness.

Shi sighed secretly in his heart, he thought that he was dizzy by the brigade commander's false words, and unconsciously took on the heavy responsibility of the main attack and assumed the role of cannon fodder, and he would definitely be scolded by these "subordinates" again, but he never thought that the chief of staff would solve the problem in front of him with just a short sentence, and no one would waver and doubt his determination to fight this battle at all, which also made him ashamed at the same time, and he had a good impression of this usually inconspicuous chief of staff.

However, the reality in front of us is, how will this battle be fought? Even if their morale rises, the absolute disadvantage of the ratio of forces and the disparity in strength has not changed, and the enemy's powerful firepower cannot be weakened because of their bravery, and the strength is insufficient, and this is the most urgent problem before them.

The surroundings gradually quieted down, and their roar and roar before seemed to frighten the hidden knowledge among the branches and leaves, and at this moment, the mountain where the 302nd Regiment headquarters was located was a little abnormal, and the solemn atmosphere even made people want to deliberately control their breathing.

"Do you believe me?" Stone said slowly in the silence of the crowd.

All eyes were focused on the stone's body, and everyone had different expressions, a little strange about their leader's reaction, do we believe the young leader in front of him? They usually don't think about this question at all, besides, Shi is now their leader, don't you believe it matters?

Not long after Wu Zihuai first came to the 302nd Regiment, although he had also heard about the stone and was surprised by the speed of his promotion, he didn't know the young regiment commander in front of him, and he didn't know if he was really as brave as the legend, a general like him who was used to fighting would not completely trust a person with such a brief contact.

And Lin Xiufeng, Hu Liqun, Qu Yuben, Zhou Quanfu and others, they can't talk about whether they believe or disbelieve in stones, or even more, they are still jealous of stones, an idiot, they became the regiment commander after a few battles without dying, and they have worked hard for several years, and they are only battalion-level officers, which is really unreasonable.

"Tuanzuo, the first battalion absolutely obeys the order, you can fight wherever you say, even if it is a sea of swords and fires in front, you will never frown." Liu Wenfeng's sonorous and powerful voice sounded in calm, he straightened his body proudly, and at the same time looked at Hu Liqun and Qu Yuben beside him with disdain, quite disdainful of their villain mentality.

After Liu Wenfeng said this, Hu Liqun and Qu Yuben and even Zhou Quanfu, who replenished the camp with his bare hands, also expressed their opinions, dissatisfied with what they thought in their hearts, but there were still some scenes that had to be said.

Shi looked at Liu Wenfeng, and then at everyone, from the expressions of several people, he had already got the answer he wanted, strength, in such an era of continuous war, if you want to have the right to speak, you must have enough strength. Why did Commander Zhang make the whole 305 regiment united? In addition to Zhang's unique personal charm, it is his own strong strength. There is a teacher's appreciation, he graduated from the Huangpu Military Academy, he can be described as a protégé of the Son of Heaven, his strong background and his own resourcefulness can lead everyone to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions together, and at the same time to be promoted and make a fortune, who is not convinced of such a person?

And what does the stone have on its own? There is nothing, there is no qualifications, there is no background, and it is a miracle in itself to be able to sit in the position of the head of the regiment, however, the reason why the miracle is called a miracle is that it cannot be copied, with such a person, the people below can not see hope, can not see the future, which is also the reason why after the stone became the commander of the regiment, there was no staff officer willing to come to the 302 regiment.

Chief of Staff Wu Zihuai is exceptionally promoted and appointed, with his conditions, if he doesn't seize this opportunity, it will be difficult to rise again, and several staff adjutantants of the staff department are even more patchwork, that Liu Taiping is a cannon barrel, his fiery temper, they have been taught all over this time, and another adjutant Zheng Yongchang is a lost company of the 83rd Division, there is no place to go, so he can only be temporarily placed here, and like Lin Xiufeng, Hu Liqun, Qu Yuben and others, they were originally the backbone of the 302nd Regiment, I can't leave if I want to.

Is it possible to expect such a person to trust him and put his life in his hands?

The stone sighed secretly, and shook his head helplessly, only Liu Wenfeng, only accompanied him all the way from the corpse mountain and blood to the current battalion, will trust him, this is his fundamental, whether they want to or not, they have already been marked with stones, to put it bluntly, they are the old ones who started with stones, they have been tied together, one is prosperous, one is lost, once the stone leaves, no one like them dares to use it, just imagine, which battalion commander and which regiment commander does not have their own cronies?

"Hit Changshan!" The stone groaned for a long time, forcing himself to stop thinking about those complicated things, and put all his attention on the battle in front of him, for him, every battle was a decisive battle, and any defeat could send them into the abyss from which they could never recover, and because of this, the stone felt that a mountain was pressing on his body, so heavy that he could barely breathe.

"Changshan? Stone, the brigade wants us to fight Ruichang! As soon as Shishi's words came out, Hu Liqun frowned and said, although he did not clearly say what he meant to oppose, but from his expression and tone, it was obvious that he did not agree with Shishi's move of changing the target of the attack at will.

Lin Xiufeng thought for a while and said, "Tuanzuo, do you want to divert the tiger from the mountain and lure the devils of Ruichang out to fight?" ”

Shi nodded and said: "Yes, a whole brigade of devils crossed the river to the south, if we hold Ruichang in a group, it is impossible for us to take it back, the only way is to disperse the strength of the devils, concentrate the superior forces to wear down the other party little by little, as long as you can eat part of the devils, even if you can't take Ruichang, then the problem will not be too big." ”

Qu Yuben of the third battalion was a little cautious and said: "Stone, this is just your guess, as for whether it will work or not, no one can say for sure, but there is one point, the brigade's order is to let us attack Ruichang, we change the target so arbitrarily, in case we destroy the battle plan of Shangfeng, but it will be troublesome, you must know that there are more than 100,000 troops fighting nearby, and all our purposes are to serve the overall situation, sometimes, even if we lose the battle, but as long as the combat goal is achieved, it is considered to have completed the task, and you are now turning around and fighting Changshan." , I'm afraid it's a bit rushed. ”

Liu Wenfeng looked at the two of them just now and kept saying that everything was obeyed by orders, but as soon as the stone's plan was taken out, they rejected it, and couldn't help sneering: "If everything is stipulated to death, what else do you want the head of the regiment to do?" Just let the brigade seat give the order, and a few of our battalion commanders will take people to carry it out? If Battalion Commander Hu feels that the level of knowledge of the regiment seat is not as good as yours, he can directly apply to the brigade seat to be the commander of the regiment! ”

Hu Liqun faced this kind of naked provocation, he couldn't stare at him viciously with wide eyes, this kid jumped out against him several times, and it was clear that he was going to hit him in the face, which made him immediately angry, and said angrily: "Why, as a battalion commander, don't I even have the right to speak?" Who knows that there is a fire pit in front of me, and I still have to watch the brothers jump into it? ”

Liu Wenfeng smiled and said disdainfully: "Who said the sentence of absolute obedience to all orders just now?" How some people talk like farts, they forget about it. ”

"Liu Wenfeng......" Hu Liqun was furious and yelled.

"Enough!" Shi saw that they were getting more and more excessive, and immediately roared, and then his eyes swept coldly over the faces of Hu Liqun and Liu Wenfeng, Liu Wenfeng was just right, Hu Liqun saw Shi for the first time to show this kind of expression, looking at the thick murderous aura in his eyes, the whole person was like a bloody war knife, extremely sharp, almost no one dared to stop it, he couldn't help but turn pale, and swallowed the words in his mouth, after all, Shi is now the regiment commander, and he is only the battalion commander, the gap in identity makes him still quite scruples.

"At the moment of the great enemy, as an officer, you are only concerned about internal coaxing, are you worthy of the military uniform on your body, worthy of the trust of the peak, and the support of the robe? Whoever destroys the stability and unity of the troops again will give me the 302nd regiment to get out. After Shi finished speaking, he glared at the two of them fiercely, and the fierce momentum on his body was not only for the two of them, but also for Qu Yuben, Wu Zihuai and others on the side, who couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

"I am the commander of the 302nd regiment, how to fight this battle, I have the final say, if something goes wrong, I will naturally go to the brigade seat to ask for the guilt, whether it is to kill or chop and I will bear it, but if anyone disobeys my orders and drags the whole regiment back, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" Shi Bing said coldly, and actually didn't give them any chance to discuss, and simply executed it in the form of orders and threats.
