Wang Chengzhu walked quickly and trotted all the way to the place where he separated from the correspondent when he first entered the village. There was no familiar person here, so he had to find a corner with a leeward wind to kick around for a while.
After squatting for less than ten minutes, Wang Chengzhu saw someone standing where he was looking for someone. Looking at the back, he saw that it was the person driving him in a donkey cart.
Wang Chengzhu quickly stood up while holding on to the wall, stamped his swollen legs and feet, and called out: "Comrade, this way!" He opened his legs and strode towards the correspondent standing on the opposite side of the road.
The correspondent came out of the transport team, walked to the intersection where he had just entered the village, and stood there, looking around for the discharged wounded he had brought back. In a place with a flow of people and similar colors, it was really a test of his eyesight to find a specific person. Fortunately, he didn't look around for more than a few minutes.
, he heard a shout from under the corner wall on the other side of the road, and a figure he had known for two or three hours was walking towards him quickly.
Wang Chengzhu apologized repeatedly to the correspondent, saying that he went to the Military Affairs Office to apply for a certificate, and when he came back, he found a place to rest out of the wind and out of the sun. Apologizing in advance and explaining the reason would help reduce the other party's resentment. This was a valuable lesson Wang Chengzhu learned in dealing with people in the unit.
Experience.
The correspondent saw him saying hello first and then ran over. In addition to his attitude of admitting his mistake, it was not convenient to argue with him on the roadside where there were many people coming and going. After a few words of explanation, the correspondent led the way from the front and took Wang Chengzhu to the headquarters.
Go.
When they arrived at the place, the correspondent reported to the officer on duty at the Military Affairs Office the matters related to sending the wounded to the hospital for treatment. Then he pulled Wang Chengzhu from the right rear and told the officer who was recording the situation that he had brought back a recovered patient.
The officer on duty looked up and was amused. Isn't this the soldier who came to him to apply for a certificate twenty minutes ago? Wanting to make a joke, the officer raised the corner of his mouth and asked: "Comrade, we have met again. Is there anything else that needs to be done?"
?"
When Wang Chengzhu listened to the communication between the clerk and the correspondent, he saw that the clerk who received them was the one who received him when he came alone. The communication was not harmonious during the inquiry, so he was sent away with a temporary identification certificate.<
/p>
Being recognized at this time and asked in such a tone, Wang Chengzhu, who was businesslike, did not want to take the conversation. He changed the topic and responded: "Comrade, hello. I am Wang Chengzhu, a soldier of the new regiment. I was injured in the battle last month and was sent to the division.
Ministry field hospital, recovered and discharged today. Ready to return to the army, please organize and contact the new regiment handover."
The officer looked at Wang Chengzhu's businesslike expression, no longer the stern look he had before asking him to replace the damaged soldier's certificate. He thought that the retribution came so quickly, as if he had been stuffed with a mouthful of radish.
"Comrade, please take out the discharge certificate. I'll make a record here." After he paused for two or three seconds, the officer seemed to have remembered something important and continued, "Don't be anxious about returning to the army. I'll report it to the division chief later.
”
After receiving the discharge certificate from Wang Chengzhu, he took out a stack of yellow linen paper record books made of rope-bound bamboo plywood from the rattan box. He took off the bamboo sleeve on the pen head, licked the tip of the brush with his tongue, and moistened it.
Dry tip of nose. Write down the key information on Wang Chengzhu’s discharge certificate on jute paper, hand back the discharge certificate and put away the office stationery.
The officer then told the correspondent that the handover work was completed and he could go back to sell his business. After the correspondent went out, he put a smile on his face and said to Wang Chengzhu: "Comrade, it's getting late. Wait here for a while and follow me to the headquarters.
How about having lunch in the cafeteria?"
Wang Chengzhu was a little confused when he saw the officer's arrogant behavior, but he blinked and saw that the time was already 11:40, so he nodded and agreed to arrange lunch.
The officer picked up the military cap on the desk and put it on his head. He stood up and straightened his belt and uniform. After telling Wang Chengzhu to report to the leader, he opened the door and went out.,
At this time, Wang Chengzhu, who was leaning against the wall and sitting on a bench to rest and wait, did not expect that there would be some twists and turns in his return to the hospital, and the reason happened to be that he had been in the hospital.
On September 11, 1937, the team that had existed for half a month was reorganized into the 18th Army, and the combat area was divided into the areas north of Bingzhou and east of Yunzhou. After the operation of Gaonu, the combat area was adjusted to cooperate with the 18th Army.
World War II zone troop operations.
After three or four years of fighting and development, the initial 45,000 troops were continuously reduced and replenished, and by the beginning of 1940 there were hundreds of thousands of combat troops. Among them were the main regiments that had participated in the two-year war in 14 provinces, and the main force
There are also basic regiments that are established and developed by drawing backbones from the regiment, and there are also local supplementary regiments that are reorganized or recruited and mobilized from local guerrillas.
It takes about three months to half a year for a new recruit to complete basic training from the time he is recruited into the army. Soldiers trained in this way only learn to obey orders and observe discipline, and most private soldiers are limited to being able to use tactics and weapons. p>
Only when you need to go through several low-intensity battles to adapt to the battlefield, face the hail of bullets, and show no mercy at killing and injuring the enemy, can you be called a veteran. The average number of casualties in the process from private to veteran is close to 40%.
.And this casualty refers to those who were killed in action, as well as those who suffered severe physical or psychological trauma and were unable to continue serving in the army.
Wang Chengzhu, a veteran who joined the army in Gaonu in 1936, followed the army to fight in northern Shanxi for four years, and was healed from his injuries. He deserves the title of an elite who has experienced hundreds of battles. It is because of this that the military affairs officer
The officer had some thoughts.
I went to report to the director of the military affairs department. I first talked about the situation of soldiers with leg injuries who were transferred to the brigade headquarters overnight and were sent to the division headquarters field hospital in the morning. They also talked about the situation of the soldiers who had injured their legs when they returned to the hospital.
In the end, the focus of the reporting work fell on this recovered soldier, saying that his soldier's certificate was damaged due to the battle and he could get a replacement at the troops directly under the brigade headquarters.
The Military Affairs Department has the function of allocating soldiers and non-commissioned officers. The Director of the Military Affairs Department thinks that it is not a big deal to mobilize soldiers. He just writes a report and goes through the procedures and waits for approval. Now the recruitment office of the 38th Army Brigade is always open for recruitment, and it is somewhat difficult to transfer soldiers from the combat units below.
Face.
After thinking for a while, the director of the military affairs department asked the officer standing in front of him: "It's a bit unethical to do things like this. The new commander of the new regiment is the popular man in front of the brigade commander and division commander. I am the one who caused trouble and embarrassed the general. What does that soldier deserve?
Where to choose the tune?"
The officer didn't dare to mention his dirty deeds. He remembered that he had seen Wang Chengzhu's broken soldier certificate before and said with certainty: "Director, that soldier looks strong and strong. He is the artillery squad leader of the new regiment. I heard that
He is the proud disciple of Director Zhao, the artillery god. "The new regiment is far away from the emperor, and he alone cannot affect it. On the pretext of increasing the combat effectiveness of the brigade headquarters unit, we transferred him here and started talking about it.
The director of the military affairs department was moved by his love for talents and decided to meet the real person, and asked the officer: "Where is he now?"
Seeing that the matter had taken hold, the officer hurriedly said: "He was in the Office of the Military Affairs Office, and he also accepted the invitation to go to the cafeteria for lunch."
When the director of the military affairs department heard this, his eyes lit up, and he gave a compliment to his subordinates: "Well done, you have a sharp eye. Let's go, please invite squad leader Wang to come with us for lunch."
