The news that Zhang Yang had killed Hu Wenbing reached the regiment headquarters the next day, and the second regiment commander called Zhang Yang over immediately.
"I heard that you disposed of a soldier privately. Who gave you the authority to do this?"
As soon as Zhang Yang entered the regiment headquarters, what was waiting for him was the question from the second regiment leader.
Fortunately, Zhang Yang had already prepared the draft in advance.
"Master, please listen to me explain to you. I am doing this because..."
Under Zhang Yang's explanation, the livid expression on the second regiment leader's face softened.
"Zhang Yang, forget what happened this time and don't do it next time! If all our officers are like you and just shoot soldiers if they disagree, then how can our country resist foreign enemies~"
The second regiment leader warned Zhang Yang.
"I know, thank you, everyone."
"Okay, let's go back!"
The Hu Wenbing incident can be considered a complete turn of events at this point.
The soldiers of the third company, led by Wang Dali, Scholar and others, have been training in an orderly manner.
On the ninth night after Zhang Yang and the others repaired, the strong smell of stewed meat suddenly filled the air of Laomiao Street.
Just when everyone was guessing about the ownership of the stew, the second regiment commander's order was also issued to all battalions and companies.
The commander of the second regiment will pay for extra meals for all the soldiers of the second regiment tonight!
"Woohoo, long live the leader!"
The soldiers in the whole regiment were very happy. Stewed meat, this is a rare hard dish.
The soldiers of Zhang Yang's Third Company who had been training for several days also cheered when they heard the news.
"If you're happy, eat more tonight. After all, I don't know when I'll want to eat again next time."
In the third platoon, after Zhang Fugui left these words, he gave a group of soldiers a holiday.
The soldiers just thought that Zhang Fugui was telling them that such good food was rare, and they didn't think much about it.
After Zhang Fugui left, he came directly to Zhang Yang. At the same time, Wang Dali and the scholar also came in one after another.
"Company Commander, is it possible that you have a mission?"
After Wang Dali looked at the scholar and Zhang Fugui, he asked Zhang Yang tentatively.
No wonder Wang Dali thinks so, he is a veteran and knows the methods above very well.
If there were no mistakes, why would he be so kind as to invite everyone to eat meat? It’s good if it can keep you full.
In the past, prisoners would be given a 'decapitation meal' before execution, and Wang Dali felt that this was what tonight's stew meant.
The only difference is that they are not prisoners; so there is only one possibility, they are going to the battlefield!
The battlefield situation is ever-changing and dangerous. Once on the battlefield, it is unknown how many people will come back. This stew may be the last meal for most people.
Although the scholar and Zhang Fugui did not speak, they also looked at Zhang Yang.
In the eyes of the three people, Zhang Yang nodded.
"I just received the order this afternoon. The Japanese have occupied Luodian. Our superiors have ordered us to recapture Luodian at all costs. The mission given to us by the regiment leader is to capture the Luodian water plant!"
"These damn little devils, why don't they just stay in their own country and come to our country to fool around~"
After getting the accurate answer from Zhang Yang, the faces of the three platoon leaders didn't look very good.
"Okay, don't tell the brothers below about this news yet. Let them have a good meal first, and we will make a battle plan after dinner."
…
"Wow, it smells so good~"
In Laomiao Street, the sky has not yet darkened, and everyone in the second group is eating stew happily.
Especially the new recruits, their mouths are watery after eating and they are very happy.
Zhang Yang also picked up a square piece of pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth.
Needless to say, it is quite fragrant. The meat is fat but not greasy. One bite will leave a fragrant aroma on your teeth.
The pigs at this time all grew up eating wild vegetables and wheat bran, unlike later generations where they were all fed with feed and high technology, and the meat was no different from chewing wax.
When everyone was halfway through eating, the second regiment leader came.
The commander of the second regiment is not here to eat meat, he is here to announce the latest combat order.
"What, we're going to war, so we're being given stew to get us to..."
As soon as the second captain finished speaking, there were bursts of whispers around him.
The soldiers suddenly felt that the meat in their hands no longer tasted good.
Although they came to join the army and were ready for the battlefield, they didn't expect it to happen so soon.
"Okay, brothers, instead of complaining here, wouldn't it be better to eat a few more pieces of meat and accumulate strength to fight the Japanese..."
There were also many soldiers in the third company who were dejected. Upon seeing this, Zhang Yang opened his mouth to comfort them.
"Yes, the company commander is right. No matter what, we have to go to the battlefield to fight against the Japanese. We might as well eat more and die a full man!"
"That's right, you will have strength only when you are full~"
…
Everyone turned their grief and anger into food, and once again competed with the stew in their hands.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the regiment headquarters ordered all combat troops to go to the military supplies office to collect combat supplies.
The Third Company received eight boxes of bullets and four boxes of grenades.
One box of ammunition contains 750 rounds, and eight boxes total 6,000 rounds.
There are thirty grenades in one box, and one hundred and twenty grenades in four boxes.
The third company currently has a total of 137 people, each of whom can distribute approximately 43 rounds of ammunition.
Excluding the 1,000 rounds of ammunition reserved for light machine guns, each person can receive only 36 rounds of ammunition.
Needless to say about grenades, one is not enough for everyone.
There were four boxes of grenades. Zhang Yang directly gave one box to Wang Dali, and the remaining three boxes were distributed to other veterans and individual recruits with better projection power.
"Be careful when throwing grenades. Learn from the veteran comrades around you. Don't be nervous and blow up one of your own~"
Before distributing grenades, Zhang Yang did not forget to warn everyone, mainly the recruits who were assigned grenades.
Zhang Yang’s words are not alarmist.
Throwing a grenade seems simple, but in fact there is a lot of knowledge involved.
The first is a matter of time control when throwing grenades. Grenades explode with a delay. If you throw them too early, the enemy will probably throw them back to you; if you throw them too late, you may injure your own people.
Secondly, the recruits have never been on the battlefield. If they are frightened and throw them around in a hurry, they will also blow up their own people.
Finally, and the most important point is the timing of throwing the grenade. When throwing the grenade, you must be prepared for the attack of the little devil. Otherwise, if the grenade is not thrown out, the person will be gone.
Zhang Yang informed everyone in the third company one by one of the precautions he could think of, and it was up to them to decide how much they could listen to.
The new recruits were both excited and scared after hearing this.
The excitement is that they can finally go to the battlefield and kill the Japanese and make achievements; the fear is that they are afraid that once they go there, they will never come back.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, everything was ready.
Zhang Yang gave an order, and under the cover of night, everyone in the Third Company rushed towards the Luodian Water Plant!
