Only then did Meng Yuting and the others discover that the mercenary group had actually pulled the wires from Taiyuan Power Plant more than ten kilometers away. This was no longer a question of money, but a symbol of background relationship and status.
Zhou Wen and the brothers from the mercenary group accompanied Meng Yuting and the others to sit at a few large tables.
The brothers of the mercenary group all came up to offer a toast to apologize to Meng Yuting and the others. They were still the kind of people who would never force you, just do whatever you want, and I would finish it off, which made Meng Yuting and the others feel embarrassed. . They are all young people, and everyone also admires and likes these young but highly skilled young men. After a few words were exchanged, everyone became familiar with each other, and the atmosphere at the wine table naturally became... It's rising steadily.
When everyone was already drunk, Zhou Wen stood up and said something. Meng Yuting still remembers every word he said.
"Today is a happy day, a day worthy of our remembrance and memory, because a group of brothers who share the same goals with us and are willing to share life and death with us have joined our mercenary group today. It can be said that our mercenary group is like A machine that operates with precision, but before that, this machine was missing some key parts and accessories in its operation and work. It was not very smooth, nor was it very strong and reliable.
Today, with the joining of these brothers, the shortcomings of our machine have been basically completed. This will qualitatively improve our overall combat capability and tactical level, and greatly improve our efficiency.
Today I announce that all affiliated units of the Mercenary Regiment will be renamed the Second Detachment of the Tiger Mercenary Regiment internally. The old brothers of the previous mercenary group were called the first detachment. "
Before he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar. The officers and soldiers of the affiliated units were all excited and emotional. It was not easy. After training hard for almost a year, they were finally recognized by Commander Zhou Wen. Although there was no shortage of military pay and equipment in the past, I always felt that I was a dwarf, and I was afraid that I would be looked down upon by Commander Zhou Wen and kicked home that day.
It's okay now, we are also part of the regiment. From now on, wherever we go, we can hold our heads high and say loudly: "I am a soldier of Commander Zhou."
Zhou Wen raised his hand to signal, and the whole place fell silent instantly. Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at their superiors eagerly.
"If the first detachment is the spear of the mercenary group, the second detachment is the shield of the mercenary group. The role of the spear has been proven during the time when we fought from Dawangzhuang all the way to the establishment of the base camp in Shanxi, brothers. That's great, I, Zhou Wen, am proud to have brothers like you."
When Zhou Wen said this, the faces of the brothers in the mercenary group shone brightly, and they straightened their backs unconsciously.
"The effect of the shield has not been tested yet, but it will be soon. According to the greedy virtues of little Japan, I estimate that they will cause trouble again within half a year at the latest. But this time, we can't stay there any longer. Reading newspapers at home, watching the little Japanese doing evil on Chinese soil but being unable to do anything about it, is the biggest shame for us as Chinese soldiers.
I will definitely try my best to take you to the front line and have a real fight with Little Japan. Brothers, are you willing? "
Zhou Wen's speaking voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears word for word.
"I am willing! I am willing..." The unanimous roar of the audience broke through the night sky, and even the birds sleeping on the branches in the distant valley were frightened and fluttered their wings high.
Under the illumination of lights and fires, those passionate faces and pairs of eager eyes not only inspired the soldiers of the mercenary group, but even Meng Yuting and the others were filled with excitement and excitement. . Since the September 18th Incident, the fire that had been latent and buried deep in my heart was ignited in an instant, and the previous grievances, unwillingness and resentment were vented at this moment. We can go to fight against little Japan. We can finally let little Japan taste the power of our men. Let them see that the world is not filled with eggless men like those in the Northeast Army.
But Zhou Wen's next words made their mood sink from the top to the bottom again, "The current situation is that I can't take all of you because the training effect of some of you is still far from what I want. I know brother We are not afraid of death or sacrifice. But I, Zhou Wen, will not rush into battle with my brothers who are not ready. Such sacrifices are just meaningless sacrifices and their deaths are worthless.
Because what I, Zhou Wen, want are brothers who can kill enemies and protect themselves well, because your value cannot be offset by one or two lives of a little Japanese. My requirement is that you must kill more Japanese in the future. Kou, if you want my brother's life, you must pay for it with the lives of dozens or hundreds of Japanese. "
The soldiers below were all silent. While feeling the love and respect of their superiors, many of them were blaming themselves for why they didn't work harder in daily life and why they didn't work harder in training.
But what Zhou Wen said later raised their hopes, "But now there is still a chance, and there is still a little time. These are the new brothers and officers who joined today. Their professional knowledge and experience are better than mine." Want more and be rich. I believe that with their guidance and command, you will soon meet my requirements.
Therefore, from now on, you must be like a sponge, absorbing the knowledge and skills they teach you without missing a beat, and completely obey their command. This is the only chance for you to improve yourself again. "
Having said this, Zhou Wen sincerely looked at the people at the tables in front of him and said: "Brothers and officers who are new here, while I have given you rights, I have also given you a burden that you cannot shirk. And I, Zhou Wen, am going to break my promise. There is not so much time for you to think and hesitate. There is no longer a limit of one month, only one day. Today is a welcome wine for the brothers who have decided to join the mercenary group, and it is also a farewell wine for those who will leave us tomorrow. You all know it. My ambition, today I also show you the family background of our mercenary group without any secret.
It is impossible for me to promise you high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and I will not expand my troops in the future. After you join, you will only be able to hold the position of company commander or even platoon leader. Although it is indeed a bit unfair, I can only promise , joining the mercenary group can kill Japanese devils, and keep killing Japanese devils.
More than a year ago, when I decided to go to Shanxi for development, I gave the brothers of the first team the right to choose whether to stay or not. I have given it to you today as well, but I'm sorry, it's only one day, no, now it's only one night. . "
