Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 173
Xie Baoqing became the deputy company commander, and Ergou followed to the seventh company and became the second platoon leader.

Only then did Wang Xuexin realize how many casualties had been suffered in the previous defensive battle, and all the vacancies were filled by sacrifices.

The second squad leader, Chen Hao, also died.

This is what the instructor told Wang Xuexin. Wang Xuexin had just found his own place to spread the quilt on the bed...Zhaojiayu had just been ransacked by devils.

At this time, the instructor came up. He first greeted Wang Xuexin's injury, and then said: "Chen Hao is a good comrade! When he was dying, he gave away his last savings, two silver dollars and five yuan. The legal currency was donated to the army, but there was still blood on the legal currency, we were not willing to spend it, and decided to keep it as a souvenir! It can also be used as an example and testimony to learn from in the future!"

As he spoke, the instructor took out his notebook, flipped through it for a while, and handed it to Wang Xuexin.

Wang Xuexin saw that there was an old and yellowed banknote inside, the folds had been flattened, and there were two big characters "Wu Yuan" in the middle, and "Central Bank" was written from right to left on the top, and the head next to it was stained with blood. Red becomes indistinct.

Wang Xuexin stretched out his hand, but after a moment of hesitation, he withdrew it and said, "Let's keep it in the custody of the instructor! If you let me go, it might be lost anytime soon!"

The instructor nodded, covered the notebook and put it back in his pocket, and said solemnly: "Comrade Wang Xuexin, don't have too much burden. They all sacrificed for the cause of the Anti-Japanese War, and their sacrifices are worthwhile. We will not forget these good comrades." Yes, we should turn our grief and anger into strength, and fight more devils to avenge them!"

Wang Xuexin didn't speak, he looked around at his subordinates, at least half of them were new faces.

This is the cruelty of war!

Wang Xuexin hasn't had time to adapt to this, but the soldiers seem to have gotten used to it.

Or they are not used to it on the battlefield, but these are already commonplace in this era of chaos.

Wang Xuexin spent two days training the troops to get familiar with the new faces.

The first and third squad leaders remained the same, they were still Huzi and Zhang Qingcai, and the second squad leader was replaced by Liu Dazuo.

This batch of new recruits is different from the usual ones. Most of them are veterans. They were recruited temporarily when the Independence Regiment was stationed in Zhaojiayu and fighting with devils. Returning to the second line is to open up wasteland and farm land.

Five of them were bandits, and Wang Xuexin could tell that they still looked a little wary.

Among them was a man with a scar on his forehead, nicknamed Scarface, who was the leader of this group.

Wang Xuexin knew that if he wanted to make the bandits obedient, he had to suppress this end, so he took advantage of the break to call Scarface up!

Scarface stood up in front of Wang Xuexin and saluted: "Report to the platoon leader, Liu Baosheng, a soldier of the second class!"

This salute was a salute to the platoon leader, but there was dissatisfaction on his face.

This Liu Baosheng is also a character in Heiyunzhai. He has no other advantages except that he eats a lot and has brute force.

Wang Xuexin said while tying the shoelaces: "I won't tell you any big truths, you just need to understand one truth. We are fighting devils, and devils are not playing with you. If you are in the army, what are you doing?" If you don’t have a good idea, go home early and don’t do harm here!”

The army is a place where coordination and cooperation are emphasized. The biggest problem with soldiers who have worked as bandits before is not that their individual soldiers are not good at quality.

The problem is that they pay too much attention to individual performance, and they are aggressive and disobedient to orders and do not talk about the group.

Scarface was reprimanded by Wang Xuexin, "Platoon leader, I am not dissatisfied with you. You saved our lives and killed the second leader. You have real skills! We admire you. A man of real skill! But..."

"But what?" Wang Xuexin asked suspiciously.

"But..." Scarface looked in the direction of Liu Dazuo, leaned closer and said in a low voice, "We can't do it under a singer! How about we make gestures with Wu Sheng, and if he loses, the squad leader will let him I come!"

Wang Xuexin couldn't help laughing, it turned out that this guy was awkward about this matter.

"I said scar face!" Wang Xuexin raised his head and said, "How can we compare ourselves with our own people? If we have the ability to fight devils, our Eighth Route Army will compete, and the competition is also to fight devils. The last time the martial arts students fought, they fought against devils." Killed five devils, if you beat more devils, let alone squad leader, I can be your platoon leader!"

"Really?" Scarface's eyes lit up.

"Of course it's true!" Wang Xuexin said, "Isn't my platoon leader also beaten by devils?!"

Scarface responded, and was so excited that he was eager to try.

He thought in his heart, let's get a squad leader to be the leader first, and then the platoon leader, the company commander... When the company commander becomes the leader, doesn't he also become my soldier and obey me?

It's a good feeling!

Later, the scarred face really asked others: "How many devils did our platoon leader beat?"

The soldiers laughed as soon as they heard this, and persuaded in a hurry:
"If you want to surpass the platoon leader, save yourself!"

"Don't even think about it in this life!"

"Speaking out can scare you to death, it's better not to know!"

……

Scarface is still not convinced: "Give me the number, we will catch up one day!"

Liu Dazuo stretched out a finger.

Scarface laughed: "I said how many, isn't it just ten?"

"Good idea!" Liu Dazuo replied: "There are at least a hundred devils under our platoon leader, especially last time, when the car was blown up and burned, half of the whole road was set on fire, and the ammunition truck was blown up twice. Well, there are at least fifty or sixty devils who were bombed or burned to death, with such an addition, it’s not too much to count as a hundred people, right?”

The soldiers nodded in agreement:
"Although I can't tell how many people fought, there are hundreds of people!"

"If you want me to say, it's nothing! Our platoon leader picks up the most powerful devils to fight, can we count?"

"That's right, the platoon leader is fighting devil officers, machine gunners, or sharpshooters. Ordinary devils don't even look down on them!"

……

After being told by the soldiers, the scarred face lost his temper.

Damn it, it's really not easy to be an official in the Eighth Route Army.

This platoon leader has killed hundreds of devils, and the company commander, regimental commander, and brigade commander...

Scarface didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

At this time, a sentence flashed in his mind, "There are mountain people outside the mountains, and there are people outside the mountains."

It's no wonder that Lynx fell into the hands of the platoon leader!
No wonder everyone in charge is serving as the platoon leader!
No wonder we want to be the Eighth Route Army!

In a word, this road is on the right track!
