"Batalion Commander, why are you here in person?" When it was getting dark, the commander of the first company said to an officer.
But his battalion commander said: "Don't give me the police salute, look behind you."
"Oh, Commander, why are you doing it yourself?" The company commander said hurriedly, there is someone with greater affection than the battalion commander.
However, the regiment leader glared at him fiercely and said, "Salute to the brigade commander first!"
"Ah? Yes, brigade commander!" The company commander quickly saluted the officer at the rear, and he felt a little confused.
And the brigade commander was Wang Qingfeng's brother-in-law.
"What's your name?" the brigade commander asked the company commander.
"Report to the brigade commander, my name is Wang Dacheng!" The company commander reported quickly.
"It's a good name. There is also a Chinese character in my name." The brigade commander smiled.
Seeing that the new brigade commander was so approachable, the company commander straightened his chest and stood at attention.
"Okay, this rule needs to be changed on the battlefield in the future. Don't salute each other. The Japanese's marksmanship is accurate. They can hit from four to five hundred meters." The brigade commander said again.
The company commander hurriedly responded "Yes", but this time the saluting hand subconsciously moved, but did not raise it again.
Wang Qingfeng's brother-in-law's name was Liu Chengyi. The reason why he wanted to mention the name matter with the first company commander was because he subconsciously wanted to have a good relationship with the officers below him.
It's funny to say that his original team only had enough officers to be organized to the battalion level, but many of the company commanders below were temporarily selected by the battalion commander, some of whom he had never met!
"Tell brothers, don't worry, our brigade is just a substitute for the 25th Division, we just watch this mountain pass.
In two days, as soon as the other central troops arrive, we can withdraw and rest.
Moreover, the front of this mountain pass is relatively long and narrow, and the Japanese may not have the courage to get in. Liu Chengyi said to the company commander.
As the new commander of this brigade that was reorganized from broken troops, how could Liu Chengyi not know what the people below were thinking.
The people below are afraid that people like themselves will come over and become cannon fodder for the Central Army.
Yes, the 25th Division of the 17th Army belongs to the Central Army. In other words, it is a direct force of someone in the Nationalist Government.
If that person is best at coordinating vertical and horizontal alliances between various departments, then the elite troops of each department may be used as guns by others, let alone his own brigade.
This brigade could be called a group of broken soldiers in a nice way, but it could be called a ragtag group in a bad way.
The ranks of the Northeastern Army are also divided into several types. However, some of the elite troops were lost in the Eastern Railway Incident a few years ago, and then another part was lost due to internal disputes in the Northeastern Army.
But even so, Liu Chengyi did not expect that the Northeast Army that retreated from Rehe would be in such a state.
However, he felt that it was rare for him to be promoted to brigade commander. No matter how bad the team was, it would still depend on who was in charge. As long as time passed, the brigade would still be of great use.
He just needs to deal with the situation in front of him now.
"Let's go and take a look at the front." Liu Chengyi ordered.
As the chief officer of an army, how can you say that you don't even understand the terrain?
"Brigade commander, don't go forward. There are no more of us in front." At this time, one of his battalion commanders advised.
"How can that be done?" Liu Chengyi naturally refused.
"There are some of us in front of you." At this time, the company commander continued.
"We people? Which part? Why didn't I know?" Liu Chengyi asked.
In his opinion, their brigade's task this time was really not that important. They just looked at such a long and narrow mountain pass, but there were still people from the 25th Division outside the mountain pass.
It was such a big place, and he had arranged his own troops. This regiment, battalion and company were at the front. How could there be people of his own in the front?
"Yes, they said they were from the security company and came to the front to investigate the situation." The company commander hurriedly said, and he was afraid that the third-level officer above him would not believe it, so he added, "They said they were from the security company. The one from earlier The people from the 25th Division were led there by them, and they were still eating while we were there."
"Huh?" Upon hearing what the company commander said, the regiment commander and battalion commander were confused. They didn't know anything about this, but they could also figure out why the guard company came to the forefront for nothing. Come?
The security company usually protects the brigade headquarters.
If the battle is too fierce and other troops suffer too many casualties, the guard company will be used as a reserve team. When will it be their turn to go to the front?
Their brigade is newly organized. Even if their brigade does not have a reconnaissance company now, it should not be replaced by a guard company!
It's just that the regimental commander and battalion commander didn't understand, but the brigade commander wanted to understand better, so Liu Chengyi shouted: "Li Le! What's going on?"
Li Le is naturally the commander of his security company.
Li Le was listening from behind. When he heard the brigade commander calling him, he also wanted to understand what was going on. The company commander said that the people from the 25th Division were led by people from their security company. He saw it at the time and the leader Isn't that Shang Zhen who was the officer of the 25th Division? At that time, both the brigade commander and himself saw it.
Oops, no, I let this kid deceive me. He didn't report to the regiment and battalion company, but he was wandering around here, and now he rushed to the front with his dozen or so people!
"I was going to take them to the First Company, but didn't we just give the order to come to Gubeikou? I just let them go by themselves." Li Le ran up to report, feeling guilty.
"What a good thing you did!" Liu Chengyi said angrily.
Li Le was so embarrassed that he didn't dare to say anything, and thought to himself, "Shang Zhen, just wait for me, you are so courageous!"
At this time, the company commander also felt that something was wrong, but he didn't ask if he felt something was wrong.
In this situation, if you ask yourself, you will offend others.
However, he also thought about it and understood that the dozen or so guys who dared to eat here were not from the security company!
What the hell, I was deceived by those toyboys!
Not only did he cheat me out of food and drink, but the older man also took away two packs of cigarettes from me. By the way, the skinny boy also took away a Liao 13 from me, saying it was fake military use. !
Oops, at this moment he couldn't help but slap himself on the forehead again.
"What's wrong? Is there anything else going on?" His battalion commander asked quickly.
"It doesn't matter. Why am I so stupid? I even asked them, I said you are from the security company, how come you are so poorly dressed and the weapons are not good? They said they were going to the front for reconnaissance, and you were dressed so badly. What are you doing? I, I really believe you!
Oh, by the way, they also took away three days of rations from me. "The company commander explained quickly.
"Brigadier, who are they? They won't go out to surrender to the enemy, right?" At this time, the regiment commander finally asked with some worry.
When the regiment leader asked this question, the battalion commander and company commander under him became nervous. This was not impossible.
But then someone answered them.
"Impossible!" Liu Chengyi and Li Le said at the same time.
Li Le didn't expect the brigade commander to speak, so he had to shut his mouth quickly.
"Li Le, take some people to the front to have a look, and we will follow behind." Liu Chengyi gave the order.
"No, no brigade commander would go out to do reconnaissance." His regiment commander quit.
"What kind of reconnaissance? There are people from the Central Army outside the mountain pass.
This time we only need to guard this mountain pass to complete the mission.
There were two divisions of ours here originally, but they have been disabled and are even worse than us.
A division of the Central Army is rushing here by train day and night! Liu Chengyi said disapprovingly.
From Liu Chengyi's point of view, he really had to catch Shang Zhen and his gang and give them some color.
He didn't believe that Shang Zhen and the others would surrender to the enemy, but why were those guys just running away?
These soldiers who escaped have all gone wild. When these wild colts are caught later, they must be bitten!
Liu Chengyi thought bitterly.
