Chapter 1283 Make a request to the general
After three bowls, each of the officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment had five bowls of wine from top to bottom, and more than 95% of the people poured the wine in full.
It is really the reason why Captain Liu drinks every time he drinks makes people feel that drinking less is a crime, and it is a crime against his comrades, himself and his country.
Not to mention that, each person has a small pound of 1 pound on average. In other words, the batch of liquor purchased is basically sorghum wine brewed by local mountain civilians. Because the craft is very rough and the degree is far higher than that of later generations, at most it is thirty-five or six degrees. Otherwise, more than a thousand people could stand straight, and it would definitely not exceed 300.
But even so, many people still get drunk.
Of course, it was when I heard the short and fat God of Wealth announced loudly that I would send money on the spot, with 100 silver coins per person. Because there were too many people, the infantry squad leader and the infantry platoon leader took charge of each infantry company commander, and the company commander of each infantry company was responsible for the whole team and checked the number of people before he became drunk.
This is why Commander Liu is here, and the 66th Regiment has the honor to receive the reward for participating in the war at the banquet. The other troops should have just heard of the news of sending money at this moment. As for sending the reward, I'm afraid it will take a while later.
After all, more than 3 million yuan of banknotes and 500,000 silver coins were distributed to more than 20,000 people, and all the seriously injured people who have died and recovered from field hospitals have to be included. The work of the Independent Corps Logistics Department and the Merchant Group staff tonight is still very difficult.
Han Tuhao was going to pay money and needed the help of company-level officials, so he naturally didn't panic for the sake of this wine. Chief of Staff Sun of the 66th Regiment was responsible for the 66th Regiment's general manager who was responsible for the 66th Regiment's acceptance of the war allowance, led a group of company platoon leaders to collect the money. The director of the Political Training Department brought an infantry company to the garrison and did not come this time, and only the two commanders and deputy commanders of Ye and Wang and three battalion commanders accompanied Brigade Commander Wang and Liu Lang to find a place to sit down.
However, the beautiful reporter went deep into the soldiers to conduct her interviews.
However, Brigade Commander Wang did not rush to fight with Commander Liu this time, but instead ordered: "Feat me first, wait for the wine, and then drink with Liu Caishen."
It was because Captain Liu was too skilled in urging him to drink. He didn't eat a sip of vegetables and just drank a pound of white wine. He almost didn't spray it out on the spot, so he had good willpower and he had to use the dishes to press them.
While laughing loudly, the officers were very strict. Under the leadership of Brigade Commander Wang, a group of people gathered around a large iron pot and ate a bowl of dishes to be considered as a result of their recovery.
"Captain Liu, thank you so much this time. Come on, I'll toast you this glass." The alcohol content is obviously slightly worse and my face is flushed, but now Commander Ye, who has recovered a little, took the initiative to pick up the wine and come to Liu Lang.
Although this person who was already the leader of the colonel and was even a division-level official of the Principal Army before the adaptation, his real age was only 24 years old, even 2 years younger than Liu Lang at this time. His face was dark and thin, making people unable to see his real age.
However, from his eyes flashing with tears, Liu Lang could see that he was really not responding to the call of his lively brigade commander and wanted him to lie down. That was really touching.
The way men express their feelings to women is just one word... So what about men? In fact, it is still the same word. It’s just that one is not the other. Cheers, everything is all in the wine. Only when the hot alcohol passes through the throat can the indescribable heat between male creatures be reflected.
"Hehe, Captain Ye, this glass of wine! I can't drink with you for the first time." But Liu Lang shook his head and rejected him.
Not only did he reject him, Liu Lang used his hand to point Deputy Commander Wang and three other battalion commanders, saying, "There are four of you. If you don't agree to me today, this wine! Not only will I not drink with Commander Ye, nor will I drink with any of you."
This time, it was beyond the expectations of all the officials of the 66th Regiment. Not to mention them, even Brigade Commander Wang was surprised to put down his job that was pretending to be chewing.
This is not the style of Liu Lang that he is familiar with. In his impression, he has never rejected anyone who picked up the wine glass, let alone the person who picked up the wine glass.
"Captain Liu, you said, just take everyone together to bring the Black Hawk Empire people this time. I, Ye Chenghuan (homophony), will be convinced by you. As long as I do not violate the party spirit or the army principles, I will agree to you in everything." Captain Ye was slightly stunned and replied firmly.
"Okay! You said this." Liu Lang nodded, turned his head and said to Brigade Commander Wang: "This is in the army, and it is on the front line. Brigade Commander Wang, there is no joke in the army! Testify to me."
"Wait, wait." Brigade Commander Wang waved his hands repeatedly and looked at Liu Lang suspiciously and asked: "You don't want to dig out my old king's corner! That's not possible. Everyone here is the backbone of my 86th Brigade. If you go, I, Chen Geng (homophony) can't sleep for several nights, and the combat effectiveness of the troops will be greatly reduced."
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'm not digging your brigade commander Wang." Liu Lang shook his head.
But he sighed slightly in his heart. In the future, these people in front of him were not the one who left, but several. Brigade Commander Wang did not only not sleep for several nights, but cried several times. Even after the founding of the country, when he mentioned the cornerstone of the strongest infantry brigade of the 18th Army, he still burst into tears.
Because, except for Wang Zheng who was regarded as a treasure in front of him, Wang Zheng lived after the war and was awarded the title of founding lieutenant general, the rest, including the regiment commander Ye, died in the long and cruel war against the Black Hawk Empire.
You know, at this time, the 18th Group Army and theirs were at least a major general in the future! Even Director Xie, who was still the director of the Political Department of the 66th Regiment, was awarded the title of General.
Their sacrifice will lead to the loss of four generals in the future.
At the beginning of its establishment, the 18th Army was organized according to the B-class Division given by the Kingdom. Apart from some auxiliary combat units such as the vanguard regiment of the Secret Service Regiment and other cavalry and artillery workers and supplies, the main infantry was the 12th Regiment of the 6th Brigade of the Third Division, which should be thirty-six infantry battalions. These officers who are now only major battalion commanders, have died in the long war, except for those who died of illness, surrendered, and those who were executed by mistakes, a total of ten were sacrificed, and the remaining ones were at least founding major generals.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! These officers who initially served as battalion commanders of the infantry battalion were basically considered the backbone of the Duchy Army, with a battle death rate of one-third, which is far higher than the rate of ordinary soldiers' deaths. However, the 66th Regiment, together with its regiment commander, all the three infantry battalion leaders were killed, which is a bit too high.
This has a lot to do with their fierce and tenacious combat style. The 66th Regiment is not only brave, but also these senior officers are charging forward.
"My request was very simple. This time, we seized a lot of Black Hawk Army helmets. From now on, all the officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment, from the regiment commander to newly enlisted recruits, must wear helmets to fight during wartime if conditions permit." Liu Lang said seriously.
"This...this problem is not big." Captain Ye agreed with a hurried tongue.
Obviously, Liu Lang's request was too strange.
"Captain Liu, the Black Hawk Empire's helmets are ugly and bulky, and the bulletproof effect is not very good. Look, the Black Hawk Empire wearing steel helmets are still hit by us to death and injury? It is more affordable to let the soldiers carry one or two kilograms of steel helmets to march more than to bring more bullets." Wang Zheng casually raised his objections.
"This is why I made this request. If senior commanders like you don't take it seriously, the soldiers will not take it seriously." Liu Lang looked at the "Thorn" with a bright look, and his tone became a little harsh. "This time, on the Beizhao Pass front line, the main casualties of the entire 66th Regiment were all caused by artillery bombardment by the Black Hawk Empire Army, and forty percent of the people who died because of the head injury. Deputy Commander Wang, think about it, if the soldiers were wearing steel helmets before the war, would there be at least hundreds of people who could sit here and drink?"
According to common sense, although Liu Lang is the colonel commander and commander, he is the colonel commander of Qiu Tongjun. If he points fingers at the lieutenant-colon deputy commander of a friendly army like this, even if the person involved swallows his anger, his direct commander will definitely be displeased.
However, Liu Lang said this, and none of the people present, including Brigade Commander Wang and Commander Ye, felt that Liu Lang was criticizing it wrong, but instead thought about it. Especially the person involved, who was once Xu Shuai's confidant general, he was a "Wang Zheng" who was desperate for war. Liu Lang said that he had no temper at all, and he didn't even dare to stare at the bull's eyes that often glared.
It’s not because Liu Lang had to be grateful to Zaide when he gave all the officers and soldiers of the 66th Regiment this time, nor was it because Liu Lang was so talented that these equally proud officers completely became his vassals. It was really the number of the 100 people that Liu Lang said hurt the hearts of these officers.
At least one-third of the soldiers of the 12th Division, composed of the Fourth Legion and the 15th Legion, were their old comrades, but they died here. Moreover, most of them did not even shoot a single shot, and they died at the shelling of the Black Hawk Empire without even seeing the Black Hawk Empire.
Liu Lang was right. If there was a steel helmet as a protection, the chance of being hit by shrapnel on the head would be greatly reduced, and casualties would naturally be reduced a lot.
"And, in addition to reducing casualties, the steel helmet can also be used as a container for scooping water and an iron pot for cooking in an emergency. The most useful function is to insert camouflage objects on it, which is most suitable for you to fight in the mountains." Liu Lang saw that Wang Zheng was a little more honest and said in a slow tone.
"That thing is naked, how can I insert things?" Wang Zheng humbly asked for advice this time.
"Sanchuaner, come here and show the leaders how to disguise the steel helmets." Liu Lang waved his hand and called Sanchuan, who was sitting at a table with the 66th Regiment's communication soldiers more than ten meters away, and was eating.
"Hehe, it's so rude!" Mikawa'er agreed with a smile.
He trotted over and took out a ball of twine from his small backpack and shook it gently. The officers realized that it was not pure twine, but a small net woven by twine. Then, Sanchuan flexibly buckled the small net on the steel helmet, and put the whole steel helmet on the net, gently pulled a live buckle on the small net, and the hemp rope net firmly attached it to the steel helmet.
Then, Sanchuan broke a few branches with leaves on the bushes a few meters away and inserted them on the mesh of the small net on the steel helmet. He put the helmet with branches on his head and found a short bushes 30 meters away and lay down on his back. He shouted loudly that he was already familiar with: "Brig Commander Wang, how about it? I can still see me scattering!"
"Haha! You little melon baby, it's dark everywhere now. Even if you don't pretend, I won't see you. Come out quickly and don't be taken away by the wild wolf!" Brigade Commander Wang laughed loudly.
But the two regiment commanders of King Ye and the three battalion commanders shone with their eyes and stared at the figure of Sanchuan that was looming in the bushes thirty meters away.
1292 Another quarrel
Brigade Commander Wang was naturally joking. This area was already filled with torches and ignited several large bonfires because it was a celebration banquet. It had already illuminated the valley as bright as daytime, and its vision was also very clear.
But the figure of the little orderly soldier wearing a disguise and a blue military uniform is really extremely difficult to detect in the bushes. It is because they already knew that they were hiding there. If it were an uninformed enemy, if they did not walk close to ten meters and deliberately searched, it would naturally be extremely difficult to detect.
This kind of disguise is nothing new. The army of the Principal State is also accustomed to weaving grass rings on its head and inserting dead grass to disguise itself. However, it is far from so convenient and can also increase protection.
"Oh! This thing is good, much easier than our military caps. You don't even need to make up straw hats. Commander Liu, I apologize to you. Commander Ye and I promise you that in the future, all soldiers will wear steel helmets when fighting." Wang Zheng's personality is extremely straightforward, and he even recognizes mistakes faster than others.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!" Haha, Deputy Commander Wang, what I want is not your apology to me, what I want is your guarantee. You can't lie to me. If you fight with the Black Hawk Army in the future, you, Commander Ye and the three battalion commanders must wear helmets. If you can do it, I will drink this glass of wine with Commander Ye." Liu Lang laughed.
The reason why Liu Lang made this strange request so resolutely was that Liu Lang knew that the reason why this regiment commander Ye was killed was that he was hit in the head by a Black Hawk Army bullet and shot in that vital part. Not to mention the simple medical conditions at that time, even in the future, the mortality rate of that kind of injury would be as high as more than 70%.
Although steel helmets are difficult to defend against bullets fired from the front, they can still use arc angles to generate certain protection for bullets and shells fired from both sides, which can effectively reduce the situation of death caused by head injuries.
"I can promise you this on behalf of them. Not only the 66th Regiment, but also the 86th Brigade, my 86th Brigade will also ask the entire brigade to do this." Brigade Commander Wang interjected, and then said: "Come on, come on, you can drink the wine Xiao Ye is polite first."
Obviously, by this time, this person has not forgotten his original intention.
Liu Lang fulfilled his wish and sipped the wine in the bowl with one sip.
"Come on, come on, your Independent Regiment and my 86th Brigade not only cooperated in this battle, but also fought a life-and-death friendship. For the friendship between you and us, I would like to respect you Commander Liu for a cup." Commander Wang was not ready to let Liu Lang recover at all.
"Then, I'll make a request to Brother Chen?" Liu Lang smiled slightly.
"Haha, you're a worrying person, you said."
"In this battle in Lingpizhou East, although the 86th Brigade was far inferior to that of our independent regiment, its fighting spirit was not inferior at all, and it even won, but I found that there was a little deficit."
"But it's okay to say it."
"The officers and soldiers of the 86th Brigade have a strong fighting spirit. Whenever they charge, their platoon-level commanders are in front of each other and their morale is very strong. This is very good. But I saw that there are officers at battalion level or above and even officers at the deputy regiment level or above are on the front line. I think it is very inappropriate." Liu Lang said.
"Captain Liu, this is the difference between my Duchy Army and your Royal Army. Oh, no, it is the difference between the Royal Army. Only when we officials are not afraid of death can the soldiers not be afraid of death and win battles. If all officials are afraid of death, then wouldn't it be that everyone slapped their butts and turned their heads and ran away?" Wang Zheng interrupted carelessly again.
If it were someone else, Liu Lang might be a little unhappy about this person.
But this person is not only Wang Zheng's straightforward personality on the screen in the future, but Liu Lang likes it very much, but he has always done this. From being a platoon leader, this person rushed to the front with a submachine gun until he became the regiment commander, which is a habit.
The reason why he became the only remaining middle- and senior officers was not because he was not brave enough, but because he was lucky enough. He was seriously injured by bullets several times, and even had a shot in the head, but he magically recovered, and no sequelae left. Otherwise, there would be no story of being in love with his wife and sister in the future.
"Hehe, Deputy Commander Wang, I ask you, if you are the commander, charge forward and die in battle, you can only be your deputy or next-level official to take over your position, but his ability is not yet enough to reach the deployment of troops you command. Do you think the final result will be better than when you were still alive?" Liu Lang asked with a smile.
"this......"
This rhetorical question can be regarded as stumping this person.
He wanted to refute Liu Lang and confirm that he was not afraid of sacrifice. However, he could not say that the deputy and the next-level officials were more capable than him, so he was questioning the issue of the leaders' selection and appointment. But if his abilities were not as good as him, the consequences caused by later generations would be the same as Liu Lang said, and would be serious.
On the battlefield, any mistake will cause hundreds of soldiers to be killed or injured.
It is not scary to die. What is scary is that more soldiers accompany him to die.
Although some people have mentioned this issue, in the army of the Principal State, the slogan "Not afraid of sacrifice, overcome all difficulties to complete tasks" has always been used to encourage the majority of officers and soldiers. They can't tell the soldiers that they are not afraid of sacrifice, but to senior officers, you must hide behind you! Therefore, he has never thought about this issue so deeply, if Liu Lang had not raised this question.
If you don’t go to the front line, you can’t lead the soldiers to charge. This does not conform to his personality and spirit, but what Liu Lang said makes sense. From the moment he sat in the commander position, his life no longer belongs to him alone, but to all the officers and soldiers under his command.
"And you have forgotten the matter of the Legion Commander. If he didn't sacrifice, maybe there would be another general in the 18th Army!" Liu Lang saw that these generals were in deep thought, and he added a heavy fire to them.
It’s not that the general cannot fight his life, but he must also understand the responsibilities he bears, and he must live first unless he has to.
Obviously, Wang Zheng is very flexible, and he still thinks about the key that Liu Lang said.
For a moment, the general's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"So, Brigade Commander Wang, I hope that senior commanders cannot easily go to the front line during wartime. They should stay where they should stay. They are soldiers, but they are also special soldiers. They are the brains of all soldiers, and their hands and feet are not fatal, but once their brains die, they will die all over. If the situation is critical, the brain must show the courage to sacrifice, and they will definitely not hesitate to do this." Liu Lang said again.
"Okay, I will report your suggestion to the division commander and the staff. If possible, I hope to write it into the military regulations. Chief officers at the brigade level and above shall not go to the front line easily." Although Brigade Commander Wang frowned, he nodded very readily.
I think that as a top student in the Kingdom Military Academy, the tactics of war have always been extremely flexible. This person has thought about this problem, but the tradition of the Duchy Army is so difficult to mention. Now, Liu Lang, a guy who is very talented in the Battle of Ling Pizhou East, said that, but he is just right to mention it.
Seeing that Brigade Commander Wang agreed, Liu Lang's concerns were mostly gone. Perhaps, because of this, the four outstanding commanders who had died one by one in time and space could no longer sacrifice and make their due contributions to the Patriotic War.
Next, naturally, I continued to drink.
Unfortunately, Brigade Commander Wang's ambitions were not realized.
Even he and the 6 people in the 86th Brigade fell two and a half, and a certain wine barrel was still sitting in the seat with a steady state without blushing.
"Brother, I heard that you will give homemade medals to the officers and soldiers of your Independent Regiment tomorrow?" asked the major general who was already drunk.
"That's right."
"I wonder if I can give some meritorious ministers from the 86th Brigade. You know, my brother is poor! By the way, I heard that your first-class merit medal is made of gold, right?"
The next moment, Captain Lang fell down.
Now, you have to get drunk.
No matter how drunk you are, the bamboo robbery will be broken.
Chapter completed!
