Chapter 289 Fighting Commendation

He Fuguang immediately turned over and jumped down from the army. The commander of the first regiment, Wei Rucong, deputy commander Su Gong, and three regiment staff members came up. The wide terrain of Xinyi County, Guangxi made the scorching sun visible. It was noon. Whether it was the officers of the first regiment or the officers of the division headquarters who followed He Fuguang, everyone was sweating profusely. Wei Rucong's dark face still showed an innate powerlessness without anger. He saluted He Fuguang.

"Thank you for your hard work in Commander Wei!" He Fuguang returned the favor with a smile. When he was in the Twenty-Four Towns, he was at the same level as Wei Rucon, but Wei Rucon's official position was slightly higher. In terms of qualifications and reputation, he was also a little worse than Wei Rucon. However, he did not respect Wei Rucon as much as others, and in comparison he also had a somewhat arrogant attitude of being talented and arrogant. Now he is the chief of staff of the division headquarters, and Wei Rucon is just a regiment commander, and he feels a bit like the turn of feng shui.

"The Chief of Staff came from a long journey, and it was only a hard time along the way." Wei Rucon said expressionlessly. He was not good at flattery and just greetings according to the rules.

The officers of the regiment headquarters and the officers of the division headquarters met each other, and then Wei Rutong took everyone to the regiment headquarters. The address of the regiment headquarters was the battalion of the Gui Army's *** battalion. After a little arrangement, it became the front-line command center. When I just walked to the suburbs, I happened to meet a team of engineers from the communication room of the regiment headquarters busy laying telephone lines. This was the order I received yesterday, requiring the most convenient communication lines to be set up as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the regiment headquarters, Wei Rucon entertained the division headquarters officers in the lounge. He Fuguang first took a set of procedures and explained the official duties that should be given in advance, asked the regiment headquarters to prepare the award ceremony, and then listened to Wei Rucon to report on the recent situation. In addition to fighting with the Gui army the day before yesterday, the Cavalry Battalion of the Teaching Regiment launched another roundabout sneak attack last evening, achieving certain results, but it was still unable to break through Mo Rong's new defense line.

"The key is that our army does not have enough artillery fire at present. Mo Rongxin's defense line only took four days and four nights to repair. The day before yesterday, the two artillery companies of the teaching regiment almost overturned all the trenches on the front line of the Gui army. Now the Gui army retreated to the second line tunnel. If there are two more artillery fires, our army does not even need to attack, and cannons can flatten the position." Deputy regiment commander Su Gong said with confidence.

Wei Rucong glared at Su Gong. What he disliked the most was that Su Gong said some useless nonsense. In the past few days, Su Gong has complained that the artillery fire is not enough. If the division headquarters still has extra artillery fire, would he wait until everyone talk?

Su Gong understood and quickly shut up.

He Fuguang smiled and said, "Deputy Regiment of Su, don't always say that our revolutionary Guangdong army lacks this. Look at Mo Rongxin, they only have three infantry artillery pieces, and they don't even have artillery organization."

Su Gong smiled repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes."

He Fuguang sighed, his expression gradually became serious. He said in a deep voice: "The Wei Tuan and Deputy Su Group don't know something. The situation in the south is very bad now. Something happened in Fujian, so the governor asked me to remind me again and again. If you can take risks, you will not take risks. You are the elite of the First Division."

Wei Rucong was stunned for a moment and immediately asked: "What happened in Fujian? Has the Beiyang Army taken action?"

He Fuguang nodded and sighed without saying a word.

Wei Rutong frowned, and the shadow covered her face, murmured: "So quickly..."

"However, no matter what, the governor still feels safe with Lord Wei. The decision-making in Xinyi County is still decided by Lord Wei." After a while of silence, He Fuguang said again, "The governor has another task." As he said, he took out a letter from his military pocket.

Wei Rucon took over and opened it and looked. Wu Shaoting ordered Wei Rucon to form a special force to carry out a beheading operation, and assassinate three battalion commanders of the Gui army within the next five days. The list of these three battalion commanders has been released. The primary goal of solving the problem is Zheng Kuijin, the commander of the 5th Billion No. 9th Battalion, followed by Lian Shengwen, the battalion commander of the logistics battalion, and finally Mo Rongxin's clan brother Mo Shicheng.

After the Guangzhou Uprising, Mo Shicheng took away a sum of money from Guangzhou Kuyin, and then went to Hong Kong via Xin'an, fled back to Guangxi to seek refuge with his brother Mo Rongxin. Now, Mo Shicheng, under the promotion of his brother, serves as the battalion commander of the fifth-tier guard battalion and is also in charge of the military's laws and regulations.

After reading the Han Ling, Wei Ruan felt a sudden realization in his heart. In fact, after a big battle the day before yesterday and a sneak attack in the evening yesterday, he also realized the important role of snipers on the battlefield. The emergence of this new type of military has brought some exploration of unknown tactics. He even thought that instead of letting these elite soldiers enter the frontal battlefield, it is better to open up a new special battlefield that is more suitable for snipers.

The combat order issued directly by the governor this time just enlightened Wei Rucong's thinking. It turned out that the idea of ​​opening up a special battlefield that he was thinking about was completely feasible. He put away the letter, nodded slightly, and said, "I understand. Please tell the Chief of Staff to inform the governor on his behalf and he will definitely complete the task."

After the establishment of the Sniper Non-commissioned Officer School in Guangzhou, Wu Shaoting developed a quick sniper teaching plan based on his personal experience. At the same time, after the sniper graduated in advance, he will also return to the non-commissioned school to teach with the accumulated experience. However, after all, the establishment of the Sniper School is too short, and Wu Shaoting cannot devote himself to sniper training. Therefore, in addition to teaching the basic qualities of snipers, the application of other tactics can only rely on the exploration of commanders at all levels.

Wei Rucon is a very thoughtful person. Since the war officially started, he was the first to realize that snipers may not be able to fight on the frontal battlefield. Cultivating a sniper is very expensive, and it is extremely irrational to let an expensive army take risks on the frontal battlefield.

After having lunch at the regiment headquarters, He Fuguang led the division officers to the front line in the afternoon and officially held a collective award ceremony to nine snipers and eight lower-level officers. At present, the Guangdong Governor's Office has not formulated a honor system, and the local government does not have such qualifications, so it can only use "prizes" instead of "masters". The nine snipers awarded the "Bronze Eagle-level Military Merit" medal, each with a bonus of 300 yuan, and the rank of senior non-commissioned officers. Eight lower-level officers were awarded the "Silver Eagle-level Military Merit" medal, with a bonus of 500 yuan, and the rank of 100 yuan was promoted as appropriate.

That night, Wu Shaoting personally issued a telegram to commend these nine snipers, likening them to "hidden stings in the army". At the same time, he also praised the two mobile sneak attacks of the cavalry units of the teaching regiment, and praised them as "the must-have for the glorious front". This was a telegram to praise, but no one expected that it set the names of the two most lethal troops in the future Republic.

The next morning, Wei Rucong summoned nine snipers who had just awarded the award yesterday and formally formed the "Hidden Spride" sniper team and began to arrange the beheading operation.

This meritorious ceremony caused a great response in the revolutionary Guangdong army. Not only did the award-winning officers and soldiers be excited, but they also inspire morale in the army at all levels and promote a positive mentality, which brought new hope and motivation to the revolutionary Guangdong army after tragic battles. The Information Department of the Governor's Office fully cooperated with the propaganda, and the image of the combat hero gradually evolved into a *** guidance, creating an atmosphere of good situation, greatly increasing the confidence of the people.
