Two Hundred and Sixty Four, Hero
"What? There is a private army that wiped out Qing's special forces?!" A general in the headquarters exclaimed: "You are not kidding, are you sure?"
The staff officer in front of the general said: "It's absolutely true. It happened yesterday. They sent a soldier named Chen Wudi back to report the news. Our people quickly rushed to the scene to confirm that what they killed should be the Qing's special operations battalion. It's just that we don't know why the Qing's troops came to the hinterland of our army, or how they got in."
"It was so easy for the enemy to infiltrate, why didn't you wait for them to kill them at the entrance of the command department before you found them?" the general roared angrily.
The staff officer muttered: "We suspect that they are indeed here to behead, so they deliberately went to the mountains and fields, and there were no combat personnel with a full staff, just to travel lightly and narrow the target."
"How did they get wiped out?" the general asked calmly after calming down his anger.
"We recorded the transcripts of the private troops. They said they were the Second Iron Battalion. This time they were able to wipe out the whole area because the battalion commander was both wise and brave. He used the uniform of his own Shenji Battalion to scare the opponent, and then forced the opponent to disarm and immediately launched a charge," the staff officer said.
"Why does it sound so weird?" the general wondered. He always felt that there was something strange in it, but he didn't know where it was.
"I also think it's weird, but the other party knows that they can't beat the Shenji Camp, so it seems to make sense," the staff officer said, "How should we deal with this now?"
"How many people died in this private army?" asked the general.
"400 people, consistent with the number of enemy deaths," said the staff officer.
The general said with emotion: "A private army can wipe out Qing's special operations battalion, and the number of casualties has not exceeded the expected number. This is a great victory. We need such a great victory now!"
The staff immediately understood what the general meant. Everyone was very optimistic about the Shenji Battalion before, and hoped that the Shenji Battalion could win the first battle, so as to boost the morale of the army.
But the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. The defeat of the Shenji Battalion disappointed Li's senior generals very much. When the battle meeting was held in the past two days, the headquarters seemed to be shrouded in a haze. The combat staff did not even dare to cough loudly, for fear of being reprimanded.
And now, a private army has wiped out the enemy's special operations battalion, which is great news.
At their level, they don't actually care about the gains and losses of individual soldiers, but they have to consider the impact of the overall situation!
The general said: "Report this matter to the bureau immediately,
To apply for a commendation for this private army, I want to change the name of the Second Iron Battalion to the Heroes Battalion, the commander of this battalion will be officially awarded the rank of Major of Li's Regular Army, and they will be equipped with the best equipment. "
The staff officer was stunned for a moment, this is to set an example for the whole army!
You must know that although the private army has military positions, they are never awarded ranks, so the officers of the private army are the same as migrant workers, and they can also directly buy officers. The Li's consortium has never regarded the private army as its own.
But now it's different with the official title, this Ren Xiaosu might be transferred to Li's regular army to hold an important position in the future!
As for reporting to the presidium, it is just a process. At this time, the presidium will not interfere with the appointment and removal of an officer at all, as long as it is beneficial to the war, they will not block anything.
But at this time, the general suddenly said: "After equipping this private army with equipment, put it in the most difficult position. I have already received news that the Qing family has changed its commander just before the battle, and the person in charge has become Qing Zhen."
"What do you mean?" The staff officer asked in a daze.
"This Qing Zhen is an extremely proud man. The special operations battalion was wiped out by private troops. It would be embarrassing to say it. How could such a proud man endure such a failure?" The general sneered as he tapped his fingers on the tabletop, "Send this private army to the most difficult positions for Qing Zhen to fight, and consume his strength!"
The staff officer realized that this general was going to use this private army to lure Qing Zhen to fight the most difficult position.
This battlefield is like a huge chessboard. Chess players cannot have emotions, so what about the hero camp, they are just chess pieces.
The sacrificed hero camp is the most touching.
After the staff officer left, he suddenly thought of a sentence, kindness does not command soldiers, righteousness does not manage money, the ancients do not deceive me with sincerity.
Tang Wanyi from the cadre department had just returned to the headquarters. He was angry with Ren Xiaosu, and when he came back, he was going to write black materials about Ren Xiaosu, in order to deal a fatal blow to Ren Xiaosu at a critical moment in the future.
Hehe, the person who offended the cadre department still wants to hang out in the army? Idiots talk about dreams.
However, at this moment, the curtain of the cadre department's tent was lifted, and a combat staff officer came in with a document under his arm: "Where are the people from the cadre department?"
Tang Wanyi left with an apologetic smile: "This is this!"
Everyone said that a staff officer doesn't have a leader, and they don't fart loudly, but now in wartime, these staff officers are people close to the general, and you can't stand anyone who insults you. If the staff officer still needs to be appreciated by the leaders, it will be even more powerful.
The staff officer was submissive when facing the general, but he was not so polite to the people in the cadre department: "Go, execute this awarding document. The second iron battalion of the private army is renamed the hero battalion. Ren Xiaosu is awarded the rank of major. Equip them with supplies, and then let them arrive at the combat position at the designated time."
Tang Wanyi was stunned: "What? Ren Xiaosu? A title?"
Tang Wanyi is also a sensible person, he knows too well what it means to confer a title!
The staff officer squinted at Tang Wanyi: "What? Do you have an opinion?"
"Don't dare, I'll go now," Tang Wanyi felt bitter, why did he just come back from there, why did he have to go trekking again!
Before leaving, the staff officer said, "It seems that you have a problem with this Ren Xiaosu. Let me remind you that he has a higher rank than you now, and he is still a fighting hero for the whole army. If you offend him, you'd better reconcile with him as soon as possible. You know which is more important."
Tang Wanyi was thinking in his heart, did this person named Ren Xiaosu offend him? !
Tang Wanyi arrived at the private army camp again that night. This time his attitude was much better. He not only brought the award documents, but also five carts of food supplies and five carts of ordnance!
Not only that, this car was also reserved for Ren Xiaosu and the others, so that they could quickly reach the frontline battlefield.
Tang Wanyi looked at Ren Xiaosu and said with a smile: "Sir, your tone was offending before. Your lord has a lot. If you are still angry with me, then please give me a clear indication. What can I do to calm you down?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a while: "Why don't you give me a fork."
Tang Wanyi: "???"
