Chapter 279: To go or to stay

These things can only be dealt with slowly in the future, and the most important thing at the moment is to firmly grasp the second battalion in their own hands now.

Shen Chen coughed twice and gave an order to the nearly two hundred people below: "Stand up!" ”

The people below followed his order sparsely and moved, without any neatness, that is, Zhao Kaiping's second platoon made corresponding actions as soon as Shen Chen's order was issued.

In this regard, Shen Chen frowned and said, "Let me introduce myself, my surname is Shen Mingchen!" From now on, I will be the commander of the second battalion, that is, your superior, and I don't want to pursue today's matter too much. But the ugly words are ahead, if there are any more people who disobey orders and stir up trouble in the future, then don't blame me for being unkind. ”

Saying that, Shen Chen himself collapsed on the ground, and with a bang, a slate brick under his feet shattered.

Lu Yong, who was standing in front, looked at the broken bricks under Shen Chen's feet, and couldn't help but shudder, a little glad that it wasn't Shen Chen who fought with him before, if this force kicked on himself, he wouldn't break a few ribs.

"Now I'm giving you a chance, if you don't want to stay in the second battalion, you can leave now."

Shen Chen looked at the crowd below and said, the voice was not loud but clear into everyone's ears.

After hearing his words, the crowd below suddenly became noisy, and Shen Chen didn't stop their conversation, just watched quietly.

As soon as the three minutes were up, Shen Chen shouted, "Quiet! Now the person who made the decision can go! Don't worry, I will explain the situation to Regiment Commander Lin, and those who leave are not considered deserters! ”

As soon as Shen Chen's words came out, several people from the crowd below suddenly walked out.

"Battalion commander! What you say is true? Can we just leave the barracks and not be treated as deserters? One of them asked.

Shen Chen looked at a few people and said, "What I said is true, the chief of guard of General Qin next to me can vouch for me." ”

Shen Chen pointed to He Bin beside him.

Although He Bin didn't understand Shen Chen's intention to do this, he still stepped forward and said, "Don't worry! If anyone pursues it, you can let him come to me, my name is He Bin, remember. ”

"Good! Thank you, battalion commander! ”

Several people glanced at each other, took off their military uniforms and put them on the ground, and after thanking Shen Chen and the others, they walked aside and stood up, not that they didn't want to leave directly, even if they had Shen Chen's guarantee, they didn't dare to try with their lives, in case they were arrested as deserters as soon as they left the camp.

With a few people taking the lead, the people in the crowd who were originally a little hesitant also came out one after another, most of them chose to join the army in order to fill their stomachs before.

But after seeing the horror of the zombie siege, many people have regretted that they chose to be soldiers in the first place, so they worry every day, and they would rather go hungry to farm.

As time went on, more and more people took off their uniforms, until no one came out of the ranks, and there were more than thirty people standing next to the playground.

"Excellent! We thought that there would be so many people who stayed, you can rest assured that since you choose to stay, then we will be brothers side by side in life and death in the future, you can rest assured that I will not want the previous battalion commander to treat you, and there is only benefit and no harm in following me. Do you understand! ”

"Understood!"

Although the answer was sparse, Shen Chen was still very satisfied.

Turning his head to look at the panicked crowd, he said, "As for you! Xue Yang! ”

"Here!"

"Take them out of the barracks! By the way, ask Chief Lin to explain! ”

"Yes!"

Xue Yang walked up to more than thirty people, looked at them with some disdain, and said, "Come with me!" ”

After speaking, he turned his head and left, more than thirty people, you look at me, I look at you, as long as you follow hard.

"Zhao Kaiping!"

"Here!"

"Count how many people are left!"

"Yes!"

He Bin saw that Shen Chen was idle, so he stepped forward and asked, "Brother!" You are already understaffed, why are you letting so many people go? ”

"Let's talk next to us!"

Bringing He Bin to the side, Shen Chen opened his mouth and said, "Brother Bin! As you can see, although I am barely able to gain a foothold in the second battalion now, many of them must still be dissatisfied with me, so it is better to let them stay in the camp as a time bomb, and it is better to take this opportunity to get rid of all these people. ”

"It's still the brother's thoughtfulness, and it's also very troublesome if the people below have two hearts, but I didn't expect Lu Yong, who was the first to argue with you, to choose to stay."

"People like Lu Yong are actually the best to get along with, and you don't have to worry too much about everything in the open, but the kind of person who hides in the dark and doesn't know when to give you a knife is the most difficult to prevent." Shen Chen said.

"But brother, you'd better be careful!"

"Don't worry, Brother Bin! I have the strength to fight him. ”

"Yes!" He Bin remembered Shen Chen's skills before, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother, have you practiced martial arts before?" ”

Shen Chen shook his head, "No! However, after surviving outside for a long time, it is inevitable to fight with zombies, and slowly practiced. ”

He Bin gave a thumbs up, "Amazing, no wonder you dare to take a dozen people to fight a group of people alone." ”

"Brother has won the prize, most of these people look like they haven't eaten enough, and it's naturally much easier to deal with."

"That's it! I won't talk to you anymore, since you don't have any problems here, I'll rush back and return to General Qin. The two chatted for a while, and He Bin said goodbye.

"Okay! Then I'll send you brother. ”

"No need, you're busy!"

"Alright then!" Looking at He Bin who was walking away, Shen Chen remembered something and said loudly: "Help me say hello to Admiral Qin."

He Bin raised his hand and waved it, signaling that he understood.

After sending He Bin away, Zhao Kaiping's number of people was also counted, and he hurriedly walked to Shen Chen to report.

"Check in! The list is out. ”

"Oh! How many people are left! Shen Chen asked.

"A total of thirty-nine people left just now, including a platoon commander of the third company, and there are still fifty-three people left in the first company, forty-five people in the second company, thirty-one people in the third company, and fifteen people in the fourth company! A total of one hundred and forty-four remained. He Bin reported.

"Why is the number of people in the fourth company so small?" Shen Chen asked.

"When I was stationed on the city wall before, the zombie breakthrough was next to the fourth company, so they suffered the most casualties, and the company commander had already sacrificed all the platoon commanders, and only these people remained."

"Good! I know! ”

Shen Chen lowered his head and thought about it, now there are one hundred and forty-four people left in the second battalion, plus the fourteen people he brought, a total of one hundred and fifty-eight, excluding himself and Xue Yang, the deputy battalion commander, it is just enough that each company can be assigned to thirty-nine people, and the positions of company commander and squad leader can be divided into ten people in each platoon, and as for the extra person, he can just let him serve as a counselor.

In this way, the strength of Shen Chen's company is only equivalent to a platoon, and a platoon is only ten people, at most the level of a squad.

However, there are also advantages of fewer people, which can allow Shen Chen to quickly control these.
