Back to the Republic of China as a commander

The camera still returns to Tongling, Dongjin's special detachment in charge of blocking is in the process of intense selection, and Zhang Xuguang, chief of staff and head of the 101st regiment, will be in charge of commanding this force to carry out blocking operations.

In front of nearly [-] Beiyang elites, using such a small force to delay for three days can be said to be a terrifying mission with ten deaths and no lives.In order to avoid a rout, Zhang Xuguang still decided to tell everyone the danger of the whole mission and the probability of survival in a realistic manner, so that at least people have a certain degree of psychological preparation.

Zhang Xuguang was mobilized group by group. Whenever he told everyone the truth, there would be a deathly silence in the whole scene.But then there were more active registrations, which surprised and touched Zhang Xuguang. He excitedly asked a young soldier who signed up, what's your name, aren't you afraid of death?

The young soldier was taken aback when he heard the words, stood at attention and saluted, "Report sir, my name is Li Weidong. I am afraid of death, because I have parents, brothers and sisters in my family, and I have not married a wife, so I am not only afraid of death, but also don't want to die." die."

Zhang Xuguang was very surprised when he heard the words. He calmly glanced at the soldier who was still immature: "Then why did you sign up for such a dangerous mission?"

The soldier replied without hesitation: "My mother and father said that it is the Marshal who gave us a new life. Without the Marshal, it is impossible for my family to live in the city, and it is impossible for my brothers to have jobs and wives." I have been a soldier for more than a year, and the commander has never treated us badly. Now it’s time to work hard. If I don’t work hard or die, am I still a human? I didn’t say it. I die. I do it. That’s why we are so handsome.”

Zhang Xuguang, who originally thought it was a brainwashing cadre of the National Socialist Party, was stunned when he heard this answer. What is this?

Soon this special detachment consisting of nine companies was formed, with a total of more than 500 people.Before the team set off, Tao Zhiyue reviewed the team with Li Zongren, who must come.Every soldier was very excited to shake hands with His Excellency the General, and Li Zongren was also very moved to meet their request, because he knew that very few of these lovely young people would come back alive in the end.Maybe brother Jiansheng is right, kindness does not command soldiers, I must regard these soldiers as numbers on the statistics table, otherwise how can I drive them to face cruel death?

Among these 103 men stood a man who wanted to die. This man was Wang Zhenyu's original bodyguard Zhao Chong. The second platoon leader of a certain company of the Infantry Regiment.This is the most legendary low-ranking officer in this war. . .

The attack started quickly after the review, and the special detachment was required to rush to the Fanchang area as soon as possible, and then divided into nine parts, each fighting for one purpose, to slow down the advance of the Beiyang Army as much as possible.As for the method, there is no restriction at all, no matter what method is effective, it will do.So that afternoon, the special detachment set off, but Tao Zhiyue insisted that each special team be equipped with eight grenades, and each company was equipped with three mortars in order to ensure the effectiveness of the mission. a mortarer.

The following is the diary of Li Weidong, a secretary of a company of the 103rd Infantry Regiment who followed Zhao Yong to participate in this attack on the brothers. Many years later, Li Weidong became the editor-in-chief of the Youth Army Military Daily, and then published this diary in a serial form on the Military Daily. It caused a sensation across the country.

On March 3, it was sunny, the sky was cloudless, and the temperature was cool.

We were ordered to attack on March 3. After the troops set off, everyone gradually calmed down from the high enthusiasm before the departure.Because each of us knows how dangerous the mission we are about to perform is.Since we set off from Anjiang at the end of December last year, although we have traveled to the three provinces of Hunan, Jiangxi, and Hubei, and participated in seven or eight battles, unfortunately, we have not been able to fight the real Beiyang army.Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Beiyang Army, our deepest impression is the brothers of the 22th Division stationed in our adjacent units.It is said that their 401 Infantry Regiment fought two Beiyang armies successively, and more than 40.00% of their soldiers after they set off from Anjiang were later supplementary soldiers.So it would be a lie to say that I am not afraid, but I started to get scared. I even wanted to go home and see the mother who was mending my clothes under the lights in the hallway of the factory dormitory.As an aside here, my father is a stingy old guy, he doesn't allow the light in the dormitory to be turned on, because there is an electricity bill, and this stingy old guy plans to save every penny for Our brother will marry a good wife in the future.

These are not important, the important thing is that I may not be able to marry a wife in this life.We followed our company commander Zhao Zhao and the party representative Wang Shuaiyu and separated from the main force two hours after leaving the camp. Each company got a blocking mission, but I don't know where our blocking mission is.

Company Commander Zhao Zhao is a cheerful company commander, 21 years old, from Shaodong.Two years older than me, and like me, my parents were also recruited into Anjiang.It is said that his biggest regret is not being admitted to the Army University, so he plans to review and take the exam again after this war is over.As a clerk, I heard from the party representative that Company Commander Zhao hadn't married a wife yet, and he didn't even talk about a girlfriend, nor did he have a sweetheart.This is not like me, I already have Xiaocui in my heart. . .

The Wang Party representative is half a year older than me, and only twenty this year. Although he is younger than Company Commander Zhao, he is quite knowledgeable. He told us many stories about the Marshal.It was because of him that I realized that our family’s good life came because of the commander in chief, and as long as we fight well, the commander in chief can bring us more good days in the future (Wang Zhenyu occasionally read this After a period of sweating, ***, this comes back to the question of later generations, whether the country feeds the workers or the workers feed the country, who brings a happy life to whom, don’t get it wrong).So each of us is determined to use our lives and blood to fight for the victory of the commander (Wang Zhenyu lamented: Stupid boy, you have been brainwashed, you believe what the officials say), use the blood of the enemy to cast the Glory to our youth army.

As it was getting dark, Company Commander Zhao decided to rest on the spot and light a fire to cook after hearing the news of a few sharp knives.

Today, the second platoon is in charge of the security mission. Their platoon leader, Zhao Yong, is a very stout man, but also a guy with a weird personality.The training is very hard on weekdays, and the leadership is also very serious. He doesn't smile at anyone, as if we all owe him money.We all hated him and wanted to drive him away, but we didn't know where he came from, and the party representatives also checked with his classmates who stayed in the Xiangxi Army Military Academy. This guy didn't graduate from the military academy.This is a very strange thing, because we all know that all military officers have to go through a military academy and get accreditation before they can enter the army.But this is not the strangest thing. The strangest thing is that when I went to the regiment headquarters to do business last time, I especially asked Chief Sun of the Staff Unit to check the files of our platoon leader Zhao.It turns out that there is no file for him at the regiment level, which is a bit scary.What's even more frightening is that Chief Sun told me very clearly at the time that Zhao Yong's personnel appointment did not go to the regiment and division levels at all, but came directly from the army's first-level staff.After I came back and told the company commander and the party representative about this, they didn't say anything more. In addition, although the platoon leader Zhao didn't fit in with the group, he didn't cause trouble, so everyone got used to his existence over time.

And this Zhao Yong Zhao platoon leader is indeed a talent, military quality is harder than ordinary people, and he is very principled.Therefore, the soldiers he leads are also stronger than other units in daily competitions.This point saved Company Commander Zhao a lot of worry, and the battalion commander also praised him a lot.The most admirable thing is his bravery. I don’t usually talk about it. This time, he was the first one to sign up for the special detachment. As a result, our company was selected. . .

After dinner, those who were in charge of the security guard went to the field tents to rest one after another. I sneaked into the tent of a row leader Cui Fei while no one was paying attention. This guy is three years older than me, and his personality is different from that of Platoon Leader Zhao. , very cheerful.Even though he is a platoon leader, he is a veteran of the Xiangxi garrison who joined the army in Jingzhou. Many of his comrades are now officers at the battalion and company level.The head of our regiment's military reserve unit is his fellow countryman and comrade-in-arms, so when distributing supplies, he bought three times the standard cans at once, and I'm going in now to share his spoils.

To be honest, I don't like canned bayberry very much. Although it is sweet, it is also very sour. On the contrary, I prefer canned lychee, which is sweet and fleshy.

There is no moon tonight, but the sky full of stars makes us forget for a moment that we are at the front line. I wonder if my Xiaocui can see such a starry sky in Anjiang, especially the brightest Polaris.

When I was about to get up and go back to the tent to sleep, I suddenly found that the platoon leader Zhao, who rarely interacted with us, was looking up at the starry sky outside the tent at this moment.At first, I didn't think there was anything surprising. After all, the starry sky tonight is really beautiful, like a dream.But I was stunned suddenly, because I was surprised to find that the usually taciturn platoon leader Zhao actually contained tears in his eyes. . .
