When the companies of the engineering battalion heard the muster whistle, they acted quickly and ran in formation from the east, north and south to the central battalion headquarters. Since the war in Yueyang had stopped, the surrounding villagers who had not been too frightened walked out of their homes one after another, curiously
Watch groups of officers and soldiers rushing towards Dapingba in the village.
An Yi led his beloved horse, Little Black Colt, slowly towards Pingba in the village. Thanks to Yin Jinan, Beard's careful care and the fine horse feed prepared by Chunsheng from the cooking team, the little Black Colt gradually regained its vitality, and its gray coat had a bright color.
The original tired eyes became sparkling and full of vitality, and the deep and broad chest and high head showed an outstanding elegance.
For half a month, no matter how busy An Yi was, he would spare half an hour every day to comb the little black colt's mane, rub its body, and constantly talk to it. The smart little black colt is very sensible. Whether it is eating grass or standing or lying down, as long as it
When he heard An Yi's footsteps, he would raise his beautiful head and look around quietly. His broad nose kept contracting and expanding. He walked up to An Yi and kept rubbing his arms and body with his head. Huzi said that the little black horse had recognized him.
Lord, and he is very courageous and good-tempered, so he can ride away with confidence from now on.
There is a stone high platform to the north of Pingba. A four-cornered pavilion is built with wood and thatch on the three-meter-square high platform. During the harvest season, the old landlord sits on this high platform to drink tea, collect grain, and calculate the tenant rent. The man standing on it now
They were Engineer Battalion Commander Kuang Shimin and Division Lieutenant Colonel Adjutant Li Zesheng. Behind them were several lieutenants and staff officers from the Division Headquarters Section.
The three companies of the engineering battalion arrived one after another. Dong Yaozi took the reins from An Yi's hand and brought the horse to the left side of the high platform. An Yi strode to the front of the third company and stood quietly, waiting for the beard to finish giving the order. Yin Jinan also shouted.
Stepping forward, the three of them turned together to face the high platform, waiting for the commander's instructions.
Kuang Shimin saw that only the 1st Company, which was about forty old and weak, and the 2nd Company, which had been taken away by one platoon by Cao Fuming, and the fully staffed 3rd Company, which was impeccable in terms of momentum and style, couldn't help but feel a little sad for An Yi.
Kuang Shimin took a step forward, not wanting to talk any more nonsense. As soon as he opened his mouth, he loudly announced that he was asking the division chief to give him a lecture. After speaking, he took a step back and politely asked Li Zesheng to speak.
After Li Zesheng read out the commendation order from the military headquarters to the Second Division, he then read out the personnel orders from the division headquarters. After a slight pause, he took out the letter of appointment and ordered An Yi and the others to come to the stage to accept the order. He read out the appointment content to the three of them one by one and saluted one by one.
.
After An Yi and the other three took the letter of appointment and stepped aside, Li Zesheng, who was very politically capable, once again delivered a passionate revolutionary speech, speaking many words of encouragement and encouragement with deep affection. Only then did he receive the applause of the brothers and Kuang Shimin.
, An Yi and others walked down the high platform gracefully as they were being sent off, mounted on the war horses that An Yi and his brothers had captured yesterday, and rode away.
Kuang Shimin looked at the audience and shook his head: "Xiao Yi, I only found out this morning that Li Houcai and Cao Fuming had taken many people to the main regiment. I originally wanted to ask at the division headquarters, but then I thought about it and still couldn't offend those regiment leaders.
, they have a better relationship with you than I do, they must know about this matter, they haven’t expressed their opinions, why should I go and make people look down upon me? I think, let’s forget about this matter, anyway, the military pay is based on full quota, a
We are indispensable, so let's slowly replenish the troops. It doesn't matter if those people leave, but if they don't stay here, it won't be easy to manage them if they stay."
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
An Yi nodded respectfully and then asked: "Where are the letters of appointment and new nameplates of the company deputy and platoon leader?"
Kuang Shimin pointed to the cardboard box on the ground behind him: "It's all in there. You have full authority to handle everything here. I have to rush to the division headquarters for a meeting. Li Zesheng just quietly told me that maybe our marching route has changed and we will set off at two o'clock in the afternoon.
I have to go and get my battalion’s mission.”
An Yi pointed to the audience: "I picked a horse and a guard for you. The guard was trained by me, Hu Hu, and Ji Nan. His name is Zeng Jianzhang. He is nineteen years old this year. He has good strength and marksmanship, which is rare.
I don’t smoke, don’t drink, and I’m very courageous, so you can bring it with you. Your orderly clerk is not domineering at all. He is only qualified to help you copy and write. If anything happens, he will probably run faster than you."
Kuang Shimin patted An Yi's arm gratefully, walked down the platform, and got on the horse with the help of the new guard Zeng Jianzhang. Zeng Jianzhang turned around and saluted the three An Yi people on the stage, and also rode on the horse An Yi gave him to catch up.
Kuang Shimin.
An Yi and the other three walked to the edge of the high platform and quietly looked at the officers and soldiers below.
The more than 220 brothers in the third company were neat and majestic, motionless. Most of the more than 80 people in the second company in the middle looked at An Yi with hope. Seventy of them were the brothers who An Yi reluctantly sent away that day. Although they had been sent away for several months,
They were so close, but at this moment, the faces of the brothers all had a joy similar to that of reunion after a long absence. An Yi knew clearly that it was not that the second company commander Cao Fuming did not want to take away these seventy strong soldiers, but that he could not take them away because from these
In the eyes of the brothers, An Yi saw a kind of trust, a kind of concern, and an indescribable brotherhood.
At An Yi's signal, Yin Jinan read aloud the list of company deputy and platoon leader, and ordered the brothers to rest where they were, but not to leave Dapingba. The company deputy and platoon leader gathered in front of the high platform for a meeting.
As soon as the order came out, there was a lively atmosphere. The brothers of the second company were originally from the same family as most of the brothers of the third company. Everyone was overjoyed to serve under An Yi again. Only the forty-three old men of the first company
The little one sat alone in a semicircle, watching the brothers from the second and third companies, who were as close as a family, laughing heartily, and whispering in panic about his fate.
The entire meeting chaired by An Yi only took fifteen minutes to sort out a mess. The three companies were completely disrupted and rearranged. The Second Division Engineer Battalion has since then had a tight three-tier leadership team. Battalion Commander:
Lieutenant Colonel Kuang Shimin; Battalion Deputy: Major An Yi; Battalion Staff Officer: Captain Hu Jialin; Political Instructor: Captain Yin Jinan.
The reorganized company and platoon commanders are:
The first company commander: Captain Hu Jialin (concurrently); the company deputy: Lieutenant Chen Kan; the instructor: Warrant Officer Huang Yingwu. The first platoon leader: Sergeant Lu Xiong; the second platoon leader: Sergeant Qu Tongyuan; the third platoon leader: Sergeant Wu Liheng. Among them
, the trainee officers were all promoted to regular positions for their military merits in capturing more than 3,800 enemies this time, and all platoon leaders and squad leaders were promoted. Huang Yingwu specially recommended Yin Jinan to join the party, and this person is indeed a good political worker. According to An Yi
He joked that if a parrot were born in Europe, he would be a scholar who can speak the languages of seven or eight countries. Veterans such as Lu Xiong and Qu Tongyuan are all meritorious officials who followed An Yi and Hu Hu. This time they were promoted from sergeant to sergeant.
It's logical for the sergeant that Wu Liheng belongs to An Yi and the others, but Wu Liheng has a high prestige among veterans and is a very experienced machine gunner, so this time An Yi and the others secretly wrote his name
To report merit, no one will come to verify it, and the superiors will not remember this little sergeant.
The second company commander: Major An Yi (concurrently); the company deputy: Lieutenant Cai Guangqing; the instructor: Lieutenant Mu Zhuiyi. Mu Zhuiyi was originally the fifth platoon leader of the second company, from the Hunan Army Lecture Hall, and was one of the three people Kuang Shimin tried to protect this time.
1. The fourth platoon leader: Sergeant Zhu Tao; the fifth platoon leader, Sergeant Li Shunping; the sixth platoon leader, Sergeant Zhu Fuguang. The three platoon leaders and nine squad leaders are all veterans.
The third company commander: Captain Yin Jinan (concurrently); the company deputy: Lieutenant Chen Zhibiao; the instructor: Lieutenant Yang Fei. Yang Fei was originally the platoon leader of the second platoon of the first company. He and Mu Zhuiyi were brothers in the same school, and they were also the talents favored by the battalion commander Kuang Shimin. This time, all of the first company
All the squad and platoon leaders followed Li Houcai and left. Only Yang Fei chose to stay. For this, he offended Li Houcai, who valued him very much. Under the persuasion of many officers and soldiers of the first company, Yang Fei remained unmoved. With his perseverance, he believed in An
He has the ability to persevere and yearns for the brotherly relationship between the officers and soldiers of the third company. The seventh platoon leader: Sergeant Su Tieming; the eighth platoon leader, Sergeant Qian Bojun; the ninth platoon leader, Sergeant Lu Cambridge.
The first company has since become the combat company of the engineer battalion, responsible for the security of the entire battalion, enemy reconnaissance and other important tasks. The only five light machine guns and thirty flower machine guns in the whole company are assigned to the first company. The second company and the third company will continue to assume the engineer tasks.
Perform engineer functions.
An Yi handed out new nameplates and officer commission certificates one by one, and asked the brothers if they had any objections. How could these brothers who were promoted one level at a time have any objections? They all said they would try their best to lead their brothers and decided to
Don't let An Yi down and never embarrass the engineering battalion.
Hu Hu began to perform his duties as battalion staff, jumping up to the high platform and blowing the muster whistle loudly. Yin Jinan read out the company's organization plan and ordered it to be carried out immediately. Six company deputy officers, instructors and nine platoon leaders quickly went to their respective company positions, amidst the bustle
It took more than half an hour to sort out the arrangement in the voice. More than 350 brothers were all disrupted, and there was no longer the problem of who disliked whom. The remaining 40 or so elders
The children were properly taken care of, and the eleven soldiers with poor physical fitness were assigned to the cooking squads of each company or the police platoon of the battalion headquarters. The originally anxious heart finally calmed down.
Kuang Shimin rode back excitedly from the meeting. The three companies had been lined up and were conducting formation drills on Dapingba. The company deputy and platoon leader of each company were sweating profusely and performed their duties well. On the playground, loud slogans were heard one after another, and the whole battalion
The brothers' mental outlook took on a new look, and the entire team was completely different from what it was before the gathering. Kuang Shimin sighed frequently and had to admire An Yi's leadership skills.
An Yi stepped forward and grabbed the horse's leader, asking Kuang Shimin, who was unfamiliar with riding skills, to steady his horse: "Battalion Commander, what's the new mission?"
Kuang Shimin took An Yi's hand and walked to the shade of the tree: "The division commander and the chief of staff fully agree with your request to position the first company as a combat company. The division commander told me that you did not go to the division headquarters to complain because of Li Houcai and Cao Fuming's dishonesty.
, they were very relieved to have avoided the acrimony and unhappiness among their brothers, and several regiment commanders were also full of apologies! The chief of staff asked me to tell you that the establishment of the engineer battalion of 500 officers and soldiers will remain unchanged, and the third company's entire army
The composition of the Model Company's 225 reinforced companies cannot be changed! We are ordered to capture more prisoners to replenish ourselves in the next battle northward. If any are captured, we can intercept them on our own except artillery to enrich the work force.
How about the combat effectiveness of the barracks? It’s a blessing for us to take over this mess, right? Haha!”
An Yi was overjoyed: "Great! Battalion Commander, you have earned profits for my battalion! Now my battalion is full of less than 380 people, and there are still more than 120 vacancies. It is estimated that following the Eighth Army
There is no oil and water. After discussing with Hu Hu and Ji Nan, we agreed that as long as we drive to the front line of the Hunan-Hubei border, we will definitely have a way to bring back hundreds of people. If we are lucky, thousands of people will not be a problem, so this paragraph
You have to follow us closely at all times and go immediately to ask for reinforcements from the master as soon as you get a good opportunity, otherwise our current strength may be too much."
Kuang Shimin laughed, took out a map from his briefcase, knelt down to open it, pointed at a red march line running from southwest to northeast, and explained in a low voice, which immediately made An Yi excited.
