Chapter 49
"Commander, I am your soldier. I will do whatever you ask me to do. If you ask me to be a soldier, I will never have any complaints."
What Zhao Zhiguo said was of course a matter of course.
"Okay, I will naturally fulfill my promise to you, but now that I have just taken over the army, everything is in a mess. I will keep you in the headquarters for a few more days."
In fact, the division commander did not need to explain anything to Zhao Zhiguo, but he had just chatted with Chief of Staff Qian for a while, and it was obvious that there were some things that made Mr. Zhang not dare to go too far.
"Commander, I am just a soldier. How can I help you with matters within the headquarters?"
Zhao Zhiguo came closer and whispered in the teacher's ear.
"As for what it is, don't worry about it. The soldiers and officers outside let them stand all night, which can be regarded as punishment for their lack of discipline. After dawn, the soldiers outside will be temporarily incorporated into the guard company."
Zhao Zhiguo had no choice but to obey orders.
"Company commander, what's wrong with you? You haven't slept this night, so you're not looking sad, right?" Dianhou saw Zhao Zhiguo sitting alone on the steps.
"Can you swim?"
"When I was a kid, I took a dip in the river and knew how to paddle, but I wasn't a good swimmer. How could I ask this question so easily?" Dianhou wondered.
"The water inside the headquarters is deep, be careful of drowning."
"What do you mean? Since you became the company commander, your speech has become more and more sophisticated." Dianhou, the second monk, was confused, "Company commander, you know that my cultural level is low, can we stop playing riddles?"
"Hey, Zhao Zhiguo sighed and told the troops on guard and patrol to change their posts every two hours. I will go and rest."
For a whole day, there was no idle time in the headquarters. When the division commander arrived, officers at all levels naturally came to see the division commander. In layman's terms, they would pay homage to the pier.
The division commander is the boss of the entire division. He works under others as a regiment commander, battalion commander, etc. How can he do this if he doesn't come to meet their division commander?
Just in the afternoon, Zhao Zhiguo saw an acquaintance. This person was also stunned when he saw Zhao Zhiguo.
"Captain?"
What Zhao Zhiguo met was none other than his first regiment commander, who also coveted the Japanese command knife in his hand.
The regiment leader was even more surprised, thinking, "This kid is not dead, and he even sneaked into the division headquarters." Who can reason with this?
Zhao Zhiguo also had the same idea as the group leader: "This guy is really lucky. He escaped and can still be the group leader."
In fact, in Zhao Zhiguo's division, many officers were appointed by officers who had withdrawn from the front line. The purpose was to help the division commander understand the troops.
For half a month, Zhao Zhiguo was responsible for patrolling and guarding the division headquarters. The division commander had no time to pay attention to him. Only when eating, he occasionally remembered Zhao Zhiguo and invited him to eat with him.
It was rare for Zhao Zhiguo to have a free day for half a month.
"Company commander, the division commander ordered you to go to the headquarters. It seems that several of us have been appointed."
Inside the headquarters, Zhao Zhiguo, Zhao Ziming, and Gao Cang sat in a row, waiting for the division commander's order.
The teacher also looked at these three people. It can be said that the three of them worked hard and made great achievements, especially Zhao Zhiguo. Naturally, the teacher did not forget this.
"What do you three think?" the division commander asked, "Should I make the arrangements? No matter where you go, one of the three of you must stay in my headquarters and serve as the commander of the guard company for me. If conditions permit, the guard company may
It needs to be expanded and turned into a guard camp."
"Commander, I want to follow our company commander..." Gao Cang was the first to speak.
"Definitely not. I've learned about the situation of our troops in the past few days. Two-thirds of them are new recruits and there is a lack of grassroots officers. You officers who have fought with the Japanese army are like treasures in each army. I can't wait to kill you.
Divide one of you into two persons."
Commander Zhang is also in a difficult situation. His superiors promised to recruit more soldiers for him, but half of these soldiers have not been trained, and the other half have just put down their hoes and have never even touched a gun.
"And there are you two brothers. I still said that it is impossible to put you together. Otherwise, Zhao Ziming will stay at the regiment headquarters and serve as the commander of the guard company for me." The division commander directly ordered, "Gao Cang
Go to the combat unit and become a company commander to gain experience. As for you kid..."
The division commander looked at Zhao Zhiguo: "I'm afraid I won't be able to convince the public if I give you a battalion commander. I'll give you a company and you can take it with you first. I'll see how you perform later."
"Teacher, can I make a request?" Zhao Zhiguo said.
"What's the request? Tell me and I'll listen."
"I want to take a few soldiers with me from the guard. You just said that there is a lack of officers and soldiers with combat experience in the army. I want to take a few experienced ones with me."
"This is not too much to ask. After all, the regiment you and Gao Cang are going to are at the forefront, not far from the Japs. You two will each pick twenty from the guard company and go."
The division commander turned around and took out a stack of documents from the drawer: "This is the soldier information of your two companies. Because you are at the front line, I have replenished your troops with two full companies."
"Master, who is our regiment leader?" Zhao Zhiguo wanted to know who their regiment leader was.
"Hu Xiankai is an old regiment commander. He has rich experience in leading troops and is a good person. He has never fought against the Japs. You can ask him more about leading troops. You can also ask him about fighting against the Japs.
Give your opinion to Commander Hu."
Zhao Zhiguo breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the name was not his first group leader. At least we would be more comfortable getting along with him in the future.
After Gao Cang and Zhao Zhiguo accepted the order, they selected the manpower and reported to their captain.
The regimental commander's headquarters is in a nearby county, and Gao Cang and Zhao Zhiguo's companies are stationed in a village near the highway.
"Come on, come on, you two are finally here. I've been asking the teacher for a long time, and I'm really looking forward to seeing you two."
The regiment leader was very happy. He had heard that Zhao Zhiguo and Gao Cang had led soldiers to fight against the Japs. At this time, their regiment was at the forefront.
"Captain, please assign us tasks." Zhao Zhiguo said.
"Don't worry, let me tell you about the situation of your two companies first."
Zhao Zhiguo felt bad when he heard Captain Hu speak in such a polite tone.
"The division commander must have told you about the situation of your two companies. More than 80% of them are new soldiers. There are also a few veterans who have been in the army for a long time. They are all thorny."
"Veterans are treated like gold pimples in any army they are placed in. It's not surprising that they have a temper!" Zhao Zhiguo said.
Chinese soldiers lack training and have no actual combat experience. The veterans who have been on the battlefield know what they should do as soon as the battle starts. But for those new soldiers, when the gun fires, many of them can't even load the bullets.
