readx;? On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Haitao was accustomed to waking up early, getting up and playing a set of military boxing, and then washing up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 After breakfast, Wang Haitao prepared to go back to the barracks. After walking out of the house, I took a deep breath of fresh air, and my heart was refreshed. Longzhou County, which was noisy in the middle of the night, was particularly quiet at this time, and Wang Haitao walked on the quiet street with a smile.
Longzhou County in winter is not very cold, the humid air forms a thin morning mist, and the green mountains in the distance and the houses near are shrouded in this morning mist. The occasional rooster or dog barking accentuates the tranquility of the early morning. Wang Haitao couldn't help but lighten his steps, for fear of breaking the tranquility. When Wang Haitao approached the barracks, various sounds broke the silence of the early morning.
Hearing the voice, Wang Haitao knew that this was the voice made by the soldiers during training, and today Wang Haitao announced that the soldiers would rest for a day, and there were even soldiers training, which made Wang Haitao feel a surprise in the accident. When he came to the gate, the soldiers on duty looked at Wang Haitao with respect and emotion in their eyes. Several fighters saluted and shouted at the same time: "Hello regimental commander!"
After Wang Haitao returned a military salute, he replied: "Everyone has worked hard. After speaking, Wang Haitao walked into the barracks. When he entered the barracks, Wang Haitao found that almost all the soldiers had participated in the training. Isn't it the dragon boy who leads the team to run laps on the playground? Wang Haitao nodded with satisfaction and returned to the office. As soon as I arrived at the office and made myself a cup of tea, there was a voice at the door: "Report!"
Wang Haitao replied, "Come in." Then he sat down behind his desk. The door was pushed open, and Tang Xiaoshan, the commander of the reconnaissance company, walked in. Tang Xiaoshan came to Wang Haitao, saluted a military salute, and said: "Report to the regiment commander, the reconnaissance company has completed the reconnaissance mission, and Tang Xiaoshan has come to report." After speaking, he handed a notebook in his hand to Wang Haitao.
Wang Haitao took it and looked at it, and it read "Report on the Reconnaissance of Bandits in the Eighteen Mountains of Longzhou County." Wang Haitao saw this book and said: "Very good, you go back first, I'll look for you after I finish reading." Tang Xiaoshan saluted again and responded, "Yes! Then he strode out of Wang Haitao's office. Wang Haitao opened the book and read it carefully.
By the time Wang Haitao finished reading, it was close to noon. At this time, Wang Haitao already knew the mountain bandits in the Eighteen Mountains of Longzhou County, and a complete plan gradually took shape in their hearts. As Tang Lao said, there are indeed good and bad among these eighteen mountain bandits. Several bad deeds have been done, and they are heinous, and these bandits must be resolutely and completely eliminated.
Most of them have some evil deeds, but most of them are forced by life, and there are no big evils such as murder and arson, and these mountain bandits are either dispersed or co-opted, as long as they no longer occupy the mountains as bandits. The remaining few are similar to the evil tiger village in the past, not evil, just to protect themselves, said to be mountain bandits but no robbery, so it is best to collect the deviation, even if it cannot be incorporated and cannot be exterminated.
Thinking of this, Wang Haitao asked the soldiers to inform all the officers above the company level to hold a meeting in the large conference room in the afternoon. Then go back to the office and start sorting out the things you'll need for your afternoon meeting.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the large conference room of the barracks, Tang Renli and Zhao Zhongwu were the leaders, and the remaining four battalion commanders and 22 company commanders all arrived, and everyone was waiting for Wang Haitao's arrival while talking in a whisper. Just when everyone whispered to each other why Commander Wang would hold a meeting attended by all officers on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the guards at the door shouted: "Commander Wang has arrived." ”
With the shouting, Wang Haitao appeared at the door of the conference room, and all the officers stood up to welcome Wang Haitao's arrival. Wang Haitao strode to the main seat next to the conference table, looked at the officers under him, waved his hand downward, and said, "Sit, everyone sit down." After everyone sat down, Wang Haitao said: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year in 1935, and I invite you here because I have two things to tell you.
The first thing is that everyone has been following me Wang Haitao for more than half a year, and the old people of Evil Tiger Mountain have been for nearly two years, in order to express my gratitude to Wang Haitao, I want to give you a New Year's gift today. After speaking, Wang Haitao shouted outside the door: "Send it in." Two soldiers walked into the conference room carrying a suitcase. The sound of guessing what was in the box rang out in the conference room.
The two soldiers put the box on the conference table, saluted and stepped aside, Wang Haitao said: "As a soldier, you must always be ready to fight, and the concept of time in a battle is very important. Therefore, I have decided to give each officer at and above the company level a pocket watch, and each officer above the battalion level with a watch as a New Year's gift to you. ”
Suddenly there was a discussion below. Wang Haitao glanced at these officers under his command and saw that everyone was surprised, especially those company-level officers. Wang Haitao pressed his hand, and after the discussion stopped, he opened the box and said: "Let's come forward to collect it in order, the commander of the first battalion and one company: Tang Weimin." Tang Weimin replied: "Here!" and then strode forward, and after saluting, he took the small box from Wang Haitao's hand, and said after saluting, "Thank you, head of the regiment." Then he turned and went down.
Wang Haitao then shouted: "Li Yuanhong, the commander of the second company of the first battalion. Li Yuanhong also got up and responded: "Here!" until --------- twenty-two company commanders and four battalion commanders, plus Tang Renli and Zhao Zhongwu, were all dispatched. Wang Haitao took a breath, and the two soldiers stepped forward to take out the empty box. When these subordinates were excited enough, and the conference room was quiet again, Wang Haitao spoke again: "This second thing is that the whole regiment will immediately conduct an actual combat drill. The target is the mountain bandits of the Eighteen Mountains of Longzhou County. ”
Wang Haitao's words caused another discussion, and Wang Haitao waited for a while before continuing: "These eighteen mountain bandits, some are good and some are bad, some are extremely evil, and some are forced to be helpless. We must treat them separately, and we must mercilessly annihilate those who have committed the most heinous crimes and the people are extremely angry. Those who have not done much evil, but still have evil deeds, should be dispersed or co-opted. Persuade those who are forced to do so.
I have fully understood the situation of the mountain bandits in these 18 places, and I will soon take action, and you must make all preparations when you return to the company, and you can start an operation at any time, and I will inform you of the specific action plan in a day. Now Tang and Zhao and several battalion commanders, as well as Tangshan Leopard and Tang Xiaoshan, remained, and the rest of the people dispersed. Except for those who remained, the rest of the officers left the conference room as they talked.
