Chapter 168 The problem of appointing officers
After the autumn harvest, the Japanese army has always wanted to have a large-scale battle with the Chinese army. After all, the grain was harvested in the autumn, and the Japanese army plundered a lot of grain from the Chinese army as military rations. It can be said that the army is strong.
However, because of the plan to divide the area north of Hutong, the little devil had to shelve this plan.
After the failure of the plan to divide China, the Japs put the plan of launching a large-scale war back on the agenda.
The Little Japanese army put forward a slogan to eliminate the three main divisions of the Chinese army before the Spring Festival to celebrate the arrival of the New Year.
In the past, the little devils used to make excuses before launching an attack, but this time the little devils were too lazy to make excuses because they already knew that the Central Army of the Chinese Army was fighting another Chinese army in the south. This was a critical moment for both sides.
It is also the best time for the little devil to send troops.
This time the Japs sent out troops without hiding them, so Commander Hu and others got the news in advance.
Commander Hu also knew that the Japs came with bad intentions this time, so he came to Zhao Zhiguo's station to discuss the defense of their regiment with Zhao Zhiguo.
"By the way, there is one more thing I want to tell you. I dislike your military rank being too low, so I sent a report to the division commander. From today on, your military rank will be major!"
"It's really not a good thing to be promoted before a war!" Zhao Zhiguo did not stand up to salute.
Commander Hu did not care about this matter: "To be honest, although you are a battalion commander now, in my eyes you are my royal deputy commander. After this battle is over, maybe the division commander will give
You are the leader of the group!"
"You can live and think about those beautiful things again!"
"You are quite calm, which is good. The calmer you are on the eve of a war, the less likely it is to cause problems!" Captain Hu praised Zhao Zhiguo.
"Captain, I want to appoint a company commander, the one named Qin Dongsheng!"
In order to improve the efficiency of the army, Zhao Zhiguo cannot serve as battalion commander and company commander at the same time.
"I don't care about this. As long as you think it's okay, write a list of officers and send it to the regiment headquarters. I'll sign it and send it to the division headquarters immediately! It won't take two days, and the results will come out!" Commander Hu put the last roasted sweet potato on the table.
After finishing eating, "Is there any more?"
"Liu Qingsheng, go get two more sweet potatoes, and call Qin Dongsheng over by the way!" Zhao Zhiguo said to Liu Qingsheng.
"Do you need to transfer your little communications soldier to my place?" Commander Hu looked at Liu Qingsheng, who was still a half-year-old child, with some distress. "It's always safer to put him at the regiment headquarters."
"It's great that he's here with me! He's very quick with his hands and feet. He works as both a communications soldier and an orderly for me!"
"Hey, it's such a good life like this. There's a brazier, roasted sweet potatoes, and time to stretch out." Captain Hu stood up and stretched his somewhat stiff legs. "After so many years as a soldier, I didn't leave anything behind, but I fell behind."
If you are sick, you need to move more."
Commander Hu and Zhao Zhiguo both hope that there will be no fighting. Someone will die as soon as the gunshots are fired, and someone will be sad if someone dies.
After a while, Qin Dongsheng entered the headquarters with half a bag of sweet potatoes: "Hello, regiment commander! Hello, battalion commander!"
"That's right, don't be restrained, find a stool and roast sweet potatoes together!" Zhao Zhiguo said.
"Batalion Commander, do you have something to do with me?"
Seeing Captain Hu here, Qin Dongsheng was still a little nervous.
"I have discussed with the regiment commander. From today on, your military rank will be lieutenant and you will replace me as the company commander!" Zhao Zhiguo picked up the land melon and gave one to Commander Hu, and then said lightly.
Qin Dongsheng held a stool in his hand, and just as he bent down to sit down, he quickly stood up and saluted Captain Hu and Zhao Zhiguo: "Thank you, Captain and Battalion Commander, for their cultivation."
"This kid knows more rules than you. You have been promoted to major and you still don't salute me!" Captain Hu said jokingly.
"Ah? All battalion commanders have the rank of major?" Qin Dongsheng was a little surprised.
"What! I promoted your battalion commander to the rank of major. Do you think the rank is low?" Commander Hu said.
"Report to the leader, I...I didn't mean it..." Qin Dongsheng was embarrassed and speechless.
"Hahaha, sit down quickly, the regiment leader is joking with you! But I think I should become a general!" Zhao Zhiguo also said jokingly.
"Batalion Commander, you know I..."
Qin Dongsheng is okay in front of acquaintances, but sometimes he is speechless in front of unfamiliar people.
"This is an order. Sit down quickly and become the company commander. I have something to discuss with you!" Zhao Zhiguo said.
Qin Dongsheng had no choice but to sit next to Zhao Zhiguo obediently.
"Being a company commander is not an easy task, especially in an army like ours!" Zhao Zhiguo said, "I once told Dianhou that being a company commander is like being a nanny. No matter how careful you are, you can't be too careful.
Noianhou's character and temper are not suitable for being a company commander, but he has a lot of combat experience, so I separated their platoon and put them directly under the battalion headquarters."
"Remember the battalion commander's teachings!" Qin Dongsheng straightened his body nervously.
"I'll give you two days to reorganize a platoon. The troops will be drawn from the new recruits. You don't have to worry about the weapons. The key is to match the old and new soldiers in the army well, and appoint the platoon leader.
Question, no matter what method you think of, pick out ten people for me, and then ask them to report to me, and I will pick three out of the ten to be your platoon commanders."
As Commander Hu said, their officers can only be taller among the short ones!
Fortunately, the veterans under Zhao Zhiguo and others already have experience fighting the Japanese army. With these veterans here, there will definitely be no problem in fighting positional warfare.
"I know, I'll do it now!" Qin Dongsheng stood up again.
"Don't worry, just sit here and listen to the leader's opinion!"
"I don't have any objections. Your selection method is quite novel!" Commander Hu said, "But I would like to make a suggestion. A platoon leader does not necessarily have to be able to fight. To be an officer, the first thing to do is that the soldiers must be able to obey. Just like your battalion commander, if
If you let him be the regiment leader, he can control all the officers and soldiers in the regiment. Don't choose that kind of good guy!"
"Thank you, leader, for reminding me!"
"Okay, you feel uncomfortable sitting here. Go get ready!"
When Qin Dongsheng heard Zhao Zhiguo asking him to leave, it was like an amnesty! But he stood up too violently. If Zhao Zhiguo hadn't grabbed Qin Dongsheng, he would have almost fallen on the brazier.
"I said, Lao Qin, you don't want me to eat roasted sweet potatoes with the group leader? You're going to destroy our jobs!" Zhao Zhiguo was startled by Qin Dongsheng.
"I'm sorry, captain, I'm sorry, battalion commander!" Qin Dongsheng apologized quickly.
Captain Hu saw Qin Dongsheng's embarrassed look and tried hard not to laugh.
After Qin Dongsheng left, Commander Hu laughed loudly: "Hahaha, can you make such a person the company commander? There won't be any problem, right?"
