When the chief of staff heard this, he naturally did not dare to go against Lin Yi. After all, Lin Yi was the highest commander in the third battalion. As the chief of staff of the battalion, it might be useful to speak to his subordinates, but to Lin Yi, he could only obey unconditionally.
.
So he immediately said: "Don't think about it, I will absolutely obey the order."
Lin Yi nodded, "Since the opinions are unanimous, I order that in five hours, the second and third companies will quickly move towards the fifth battalion to support them."
Five hours? But the soldiers haven't eaten yet, and they are very tired from the long march. Isn't this a bit too fast? The chief of staff was about to say it, but Lin Yi stopped him, "We are tired, and they are even more tired."
, this is the time to fight for your willpower.”
The Second Company and the Third Company are the absolute main companies of the Third Battalion. The Second Company's combat effectiveness has always been the strongest among the Third Battalion. Under the long-term stay of Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, the Third Company's combat effectiveness has also become extremely powerful, especially during the afternoon encirclement and suppression of special forces.
In the battle against the second company, the third company commander used his troops very well, and his combat effectiveness even exceeded that of the second company.
If it's purely a matter of willpower, you might be able to fight two or three times in a row.
The chief of staff said: "Then I will go find the second company commander and the third company commander. By the way, the two companies will dispatch together. Who should lead the team? If it doesn't work, just let me go."
Lin Yi patted the chief of staff on the shoulder, "You are good at defense, attack is not your strong point. I once led the third company to support the fourth battalion. I am very familiar with their routines. Naturally, I will lead this time."
Team."
At this time, the instructor came in, carrying a lunch box and said with a smile: "Are you still busy? Come and try the big bone soup I stewed. With the current temperature, you must drink some of this stuff to keep your body warm so that you can continue to use your brain.
"
Lin Yi quickly took the lunch box and said, "Instructor, the bone soup you stewed is so delicious. I could smell the aroma even before I opened the lid."
Regarding the position of instructor, Lin Yi also said before that although he is a member of the headquarters, he does not participate in commanding the battle. Unless the company chief of staff dies, he can take over the banner of the battalion headquarters and command the entire battalion.
fighting.
Therefore, since the beginning of the assessment, the instructor has not appeared in the headquarters very often. Since he can't decide how to fight, why do he still stay in the headquarters? Just to be a staff officer and give everyone advice?
There are quite a few staff officers at the battalion headquarters. If you have one more, it won't be too much. If you have one less, it won't be too much. So why should you be asking for trouble?
On the contrary, logistics and soldiers' thoughts, which can directly affect the battle, are the focus of their jurisdiction, so the instructors often stay in the grassroots units to conduct investigations.
Logically speaking, the instructor shouldn't enter the headquarters now. It's not that he can't enter, but that he has no reason to come in unless he wants to discuss something with himself.
Since the instructor didn't take the initiative to say it, Lin Yi didn't take the initiative to mention it either. He just said to the chief of staff: "Come and have some. The instructor's soup tastes really good."
The chief of staff waved his hand, "No, deputy battalion commander, then I will arrange the mission."
When the instructor saw the chief of staff going outside, he grabbed him and said, "Um, I just heard that you are going to send troops to help the fifth and sixth battalions?"
The chief of staff glanced at Lin Yi first, then turned his head and said, "Instructor, you should ask the deputy battalion commander directly for this kind of thing. I am the one who conveys orders and arranges specific work. Setting goals is not up to me."
Lin Yi finished the soup and put down the bowl, "Instructor, our advantage in this assessment is already big enough, but the 5th and 6th battalions are now weak. If we don't take the initiative to help, they will not be able to hold on. Wait.
Once they are eliminated, it will be us who suffer next.”
The instructor has been active at the grassroots level these days. He knows how confident the soldiers of the Third Battalion are under the leadership of Lin Yi, how much their combat effectiveness has improved, and how many battles they have won one after another. So he is not here to stop Lin Yi.
of.
Since Lin Yi has the ability, he should be allowed to use it. Besides, the fifth and sixth battalions, although they are our competitors on the surface, in fact, they are no longer up to it. In this case, the favor will not be given away.
Don't give it away, and it will be more conducive to unity.
The instructor is a political worker, and he knows how powerful a united army can be in combat.
In fact, these are all superficial reasons. The deeper reason is that the army is a place where kindness must be returned. If we help you this time, the fifth and sixth battalions will definitely help you back in the future. This will be good for the third battalion in the future.
.
"Deputy Battalion Commander Lin, I'm not here to stop you. On the contrary, since you want to help people, you must help them to the end. When you go to support later, send a cart of self-heating food to them. They are now short of people and horses, and lack of food and clothing.
, we only have enough clothes, so we can’t support them, but we have plenty of food, so it’s our intention to support them a little.”
Lin Yi was quite surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect that the instructor would support him so much. "Then do as the instructor said. Chief of Staff, you can tell the logistics chief later and ask them to prepare a plan."
Truck food.”
The instructor said: "I have asked the head of the logistics department to prepare it. When you set off later, just take it with you."
The chief of staff was also very puzzled now. He originally thought that the instructor would oppose sending troops, but he did not expect that the instructor would be so supportive of Lin Yi.
I don't know what kind of charm Lin Yi has, but he actually fascinated the instructor, "Then I'll go make arrangements first."
After leaving the tent, the head of the logistics department immediately came up to him, "How are you doing? Have you persuaded me?"
The chief of staff looked at the logistics chief, "Didn't the instructor ask you to prepare food? Are you ready?"
When the head of the logistics department heard this, he stamped his feet anxiously, "We only have ten days of food left, how can we send it out? After I told the instructor about this just now, the instructor asked me to prepare the food. Are you?
If you don’t know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don’t even have enough to eat, so you send them out.”
The chief of staff looked at the chief of the logistics section and advised, "Okay, what the two chief officers have decided on, how can you, a small chief of the logistics section, disagree? Go and prepare. I have a feeling. Let's send it out.
I will definitely give you back tenfold in the future.”
The head of the logistics section can't care about the future. He knows now that what is in front of him is the most important. We have spent so many days marching. After the assessment is over, if we can replenish supplies in time, it will be okay. If it is too late, it will be okay.
After replenishing supplies for a few days, there won't be much to eat.
As the chief of the logistics section, he would never allow soldiers to go hungry, but now he really had no choice. The two chief officers had reached an agreement. Now even the chief of staff persuaded him and had to say: "
That's fine, I hope the deputy battalion commander won't make a loss-making deal this time."
