Age of Rebirth

Colonel Wang Jun, Chief of Staff of the Outer Mongolian Field Corps of the Independent Division, became more and more excited as he talked, "Commander, some brigade commanders also said that all the staff of the Corps Command should go to their troops and keep the wine and food. Get drunk!" Wang Jun said, gesticulating with his hands, but he didn't notice that Sun Zhenbang's forehead was already covered with black lines, and his panting began to grow thicker.

"If you have no objections, you agree, and I'll call the brigade commanders!" Wang Jun was immersed in the scene of celebrating the victory after the war.

Suddenly, there was a roar like a thunderbolt, which frightened Wang Jun, "Eat, eat—you know how to eat, the battle ended like this, the encirclement battle turned into a pursuit battle, and the third brigade suffered more than 1 casualties." , still have the face to eat, drink, and hold a celebration banquet! Heartless! Tell those brigade commanders that from the brigade to the company, all levels will immediately hold a campaign review meeting, form written materials, and report to the Corps. This is a problem, chief officials at all levels will not eat anymore!" Sun Zhenbang roared furiously with his eyeballs burning.

Sun Zhenbang is heartbroken. Rao Zhonghan, the commander of the third brigade, was killed in battle. He usually has a life-threatening relationship. You bunch of heartless guys, are you still thinking about drinking and eating meat to celebrate?I don't even mean to be sad at all, but you Wang Jun, you also forgot about this matter, and just joined in the fun, it made me mad!

In fact, Sun Zhenbang really wronged more than a dozen other brigade commanders of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps. The news of Rao Zhonghan's death has not yet reached the brigades. Cleaning the battlefield, settling the Soviet prisoners, and the brigade commanders who arrived later have not met, otherwise, how are you in the mood for a celebration banquet? Although Rao Zhonghan has not been in the Outer Mongolian Field Corps for a long time , but also his brother is not.Feelings are good.

As for Wang Jun, he has his own ideas. The Outer Mongolian Field Corps won such a big victory for the first time. It is worth celebrating. This is a good way to boost morale, and it is also a good opportunity to improve the self-confidence of officers and soldiers.Rao Zhonghan's sacrifice is a great loss for the Corps, but it is two different things from boosting morale and boosting confidence. As the chief of staff.Consider the problem can not be extreme.

Sun Zhenbang's violent roar made Wang Jun shrink back in fright. Although the commander didn't yell at him directly, everyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his heart. After six or seven years of working together, the commander still It was the first time that he got angry at himself so mercilessly.Obviously it was aimed at the brigade commanders, but in fact, it was aimed at himself, especially in front of Ren Zhaoquan, the brigade commander of the No.11 brigade, who directly subordinated him, which made Wang Jun turn blue with embarrassment and panicked.

Ren Zhaoquan didn't want to be involved in the embarrassment between the commander of the Outer Mongolia Field Corps and the chief of staff, in fact.I have no good way to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere between them. Identity, status, and role are there. To be a peacemaker, you must have capital. As for Colonel Fu Dechun, the chief of staff of the brigade, he can't get on the stage. .

Stay here by yourself.The Chief of Staff Wang Jun was even more embarrassed, Ren Zhaoquan hurriedly said: "Commander Sun, Chief of Staff Wang, the battle is over, follow the command of the division commander. Our brigade troops return to Delun, so I will not delay you two to deal with military affairs, and leave !” [

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Sun Zhenbang to speak, after hastily saluting, he dragged Fu Dechun to escape, went outside, the two looked at each other, and both saw the Nai in each other's eyes, that's right, Ren's unit was killed in battle A brigade commander and commander will not be in a good mood.

"Brigade Commander, the battle of Gurban Sai Khan is over. You have had enough of fighting. It's time to think about how to explain to the division commander when you go back!" Before getting on the armored command vehicle, Chief of Staff Fu Dechun Remind.

Ren Zhaoquan scratched his head in confusion. In fact, he didn't know what to do. He, the interim commander in chief of the Gurban Sai Khan blockade, was self-proclaimed. After sending the telegram to the division headquarters, there was no reply. , although under his command, the Outer Mongolian Field Corps blocking troops withstood the frenzied attack of the Soviet army and ensured the victory of the battle. From this perspective, he still contributed a lot.

But Ren Zhaoquan knows better about the temper of the division commander, and rewards and punishments are clearly defined. Winning a battle and violating military orders, and joining the war without authorization are two different things. What's more, in the independent division, disobeying military orders is the most taboo thing. I guess, this time I go back, division commander Surely I can't forgive myself, and I won't be able to hide sooner or later. Thinking of this, Ren Zhaoquan has a free and easy feeling that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. Shoot!" He said lightly.

Fu Dechun shook his head with a wry smile, feeling helpless for the brigade commander's heartless rush, the troops marched towards Delun, walked for less than 10 minutes, closed their eyes slightly, leaned on the seat, followed the armor The command car swayed, Ren Zhaoquan closed his eyes and meditated, and suddenly sat up straight, which surprised Fu Dechun who was next to him.

"Brigade Commander, did you remember something important again?" Fu Dechun asked.

Ren Zhaoquan said solemnly: "Chief of Staff, I have to tell you one thing. I guess, when I go back this time, the matter of me participating in the war without authorization, the teacher will definitely not let it go lightly. Liu, the commander of the first brigade, said loudly. Son, before there were any consequences, the division commander sent him to the logistics unit to be a deputy battalion commander. Our matter is much more serious than his. If the division commander also sent me to the logistics department, you have to Bring me a good team!"

Unconvinced, Fu Dechun said: "The division commander must also consider the actual situation. Can't you generalize and treat the problem in two? If the division commander treats you too harshly, I will be the first to disagree. I will sign with all the officers of our brigade. Petition, there is no reason to be punished after winning the battle!"

When it was over, Fu Dechun comforted: "Brigade Commander, maybe it's not as serious as you said. At most, you will be scolded by the teacher. Maybe you will be praised after the training!"

Ren Zhaoquan burst into laughter, "You don't agree with that. If Chief of Staff Zhao talks, it's not bad." Ren Zhaoquan's eyes lit up when he said this, "Dechun, don't you have the most contact with Chief of Staff Zhao? , I will report to the division commander, you go to Chief of Staff Zhao, at the critical moment, if Chief of Staff Zhao says a word, maybe the division commander's anger will be over!"

Fu Dechun's eyes also brightened, and he stretched out his thumb, "Brigade Commander, Gao! I didn't see it, you are cunning enough!" He said.

Just when Ren Zhaoquan and Chief of Staff Fu Dechun were racking their brains to think that anyone could escape the teacher's punishment, Sun Zhenbang in Gurban Sai Khan was still angry, "Chief of Staff, if you get another With the full cooperation of the division's artillery group and armored troops, and the division commander dispatched the main force to dig trenches for us in advance, our battle has continued to such an extent that one brigade commander was killed and one brigade was disabled!"

Sun Zhenbang's voice lowered, looked at the silent Wang Jun, and continued: "I feel angry and ashamed, Chief of Staff, it's not against you, I hate that I can, you say, I still have face and thought Are you going to have a celebration banquet? How can I explain to the teacher?"

Wang Jun took a deep breath and said, "Master, I...!" He really didn't know what to say, and the commander understood his intentions.

"Both of you are here! Let me find it easily!" A clear voice broke the somewhat frozen and awkward atmosphere. Major General Battelle, the armored commander of the Independent Division, walked into the headquarters with a smile on his face. [

The smart Battelle can see the unnatural atmosphere between Sun Zhenbang and Wang Jun at a glance. Although he doesn't know why, he is not easy to get involved. It is difficult for others to intervene in the matter between a corps commander and the chief of staff. , Therefore, Battelle pretended not to know anything, and with such a voice, he also intended to break the embarrassment.

Sun Zhenbang's face softened, and he said, "Commander Ba, the battle is over, and your troops should take a good rest. Thanks to the armored troops, otherwise, how much would our casualties have increased? By the way, I have some help." What's the matter?" He also knew that Battelle also had a lot of things in his hands, and after chasing all the way down, although the armored troops' battle losses were not many, it was not without them, and he definitely didn't have time to come here to hang out reason.

Battelle smiled, and said succinctly: "Commander Sun, just now I received a telegram from the division commander, asking the two of us to rush to Deren immediately. There is a new combat mission. My troops are under the temporary command of the chief of staff. You Make arrangements and leave immediately!"

Hearing that there are new combat missions, Sun Zhenbang's mood has improved a lot. It seems that the pain and depression just now have dissipated a lot. He turned his head and said to Wang Jun: "Chief of Staff, Commander Ba and I will go to the division to guide the troops. I leave it to you, you can celebrate it appropriately, but the battle review meetings at all levels will still be held, you can make specific arrangements!"

Sun Zhenbang and Battelle walked out of the Third Brigade Headquarters side by side. Wang Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking about how to not cool down the mood of more than a dozen brigade commanders and officers and soldiers, but also to execute them well. Commander's order.

When Ren Zhaoquan returned to Delun, it was just past three o'clock in the afternoon. He straightened his military uniform and looked at the sun above his head. "Did you come back in time! Didn't waste time!" He muttered to himself, feeling more courageous Not a lot.

Walking into the headquarters, it happened that Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe came out of another hiding place. Ren Zhaoquan winked at Fu Dechun. Fu Dechun rushed forward and said, "Chief of Staff, I have important business with you The matter! It needs to be reported face to face!"

Zhao Yuhe glanced at Ren Zhaoquan with a half-smile, and said to Fu Dechun: "Chief Fu, what is your business, put it aside for now, brigade commander Ren, you just came back, the division commander is waiting for you, hurry up Come in with me!"

For some reason, Ren Zhaoquan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Zhao Yuhe's unsalty words.
