The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 8
In the [-]th Division, those top soldiers who can put on the armed belt and complete the transition from soldier status to cadre status, occasionally a few of them have survived by fighting hard as soldiers and gaining qualifications. At the same time, they also need to have some culture and a little bit. Real ability requires human relationships.

As a result, in the 25th year of the Republic of China, the Tenth Division was reorganized according to the establishment of the German Armament Adjustment Division, and the supplementary regiment was abolished. Warrant officers like Yang Biao, who were neither top soldiers nor real officers, were either cut down across the board, or were added to other regiments, or Or be demoted to a sub-category.

The army changed its organization, and the 57th Division's supplementary regiment was gone. Yang Biao's promotion to second lieutenant was also announced. He didn't even keep his original rank of warrant officer. He was changed from warrant officer to sergeant. After being reorganized, he was thrown into the second rank of the [-]th Regiment. The first platoon of the sixth company of the battalion is now attached to the sergeant platoon, which is equivalent to the deputy platoon leader.

The matter is not over yet. There is a leak in the house, but it rains all night, and the boat is late and encounters a headwind. Sometimes when a person is unlucky, all kinds of bad things happen one after another. Yang Biao is standing in a row. Less than two months after becoming a sergeant platoon, the [-]th Division continued to reorganize and adjust according to the division's organization. The entire division canceled the staff sergeant platoon organization in each infantry platoon according to the new organization.

Good guy, Yang Biao also lost his rank of sergeant. There was no other way but to put him in a platoon of infantry squad, but the squad leader was there, and there was only one platoon with a vacancy of the rank of sergeant, and there was a vacancy of the rank of sergeant. They are all full (the first, fourth and seventh squad leaders of the nine infantry squads in each infantry company have the rank of staff sergeant, and the remaining squad leaders have the rank of sergeant). Only one seat is vacant for the deputy squad leader of the corporal.

There was no choice but to demote him by another two ranks, and he was thrown into the rank of corporal deputy squad leader of Ge Guicai's squadron.

That's right, in just a few months Yang Biao went from a warrant officer who might become a second lieutenant to a corporal and deputy squad leader.After such an unfortunate incident, Yang Biao was always unhappy. He simply relied on his seniority to play tricks in the company and the platoon. Naturally, he was also unhappy with the platoon leader. He used the platoon leader as a punching bag. The old platoon leader who graduated from the ninth batch of Whampoa Military Academy was very angry, not to mention the new platoon leader He Wei who had just graduated from the eleventh batch of Whampoa Military Academy and had not yet passed his probationary period. He had just been temporarily promoted from the probationary officer a month ago. After a long time, I was sent to the Sixth Company for more than a month. That was the "life of doubt" that Yang Biao bullied.

...................
When Jiang Qilong reminded him, Yang Biao took a closer look and said anxiously: "Grandma, there really is a person, he seems to be alone! There is also a horse."

"Maybe it's a kid. Deputy Yang, you have to fire quickly!" Jiang Qilong said urgently.

Yang Biao snorted, raised the corners of his mouth, gently held the helmet, and picked up the rifle.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't move around. If the idiot dares to come over, I will let him go without any return. Beat this little devil to death, drag his idiot body back, and then seize his horse. Maybe he will be promoted to me. Just do it as a platoon leader." Jiang Qilong looked at Yang Biao, who was also holding a gun, but felt that something was wrong.

"Squad deputy, squad leader Ge told us to fire a signal when we see the Japanese."

"Damn it, shut your mouth. I'm the squad deputy. Now listen to me. If I can fill a platoon leader's vacancy, I won't treat you badly. This is the wealth that comes to your door. You're a living target!"

The "japs" were getting closer and closer. Yang Biao loaded the gun, leveled it, took aim, and slowly pressed the trigger.
………………

He Wei carried all the equipment on his back and led the horse. He walked all the way. Apart from the desolate land, he didn't even see a dog, and he didn't rest along the way. Behind him were three [-]-year-olds, a [-] steel helmet and captured Japanese soldiers. He Wei was very tired from the miscellaneous equipment, not to mention that he also had his own equipment, a shell gun, grenades and a rifle in his hand.This amount is really not light!
The poor draft horse was panting heavily from exhaustion.

"Take a break!"

He Wei slowly stopped, took out the kettle from his waist, unscrewed the lid, raised his head and poured it down. The cold water entered his mouth, quenching the thirst in his throat.

"It's cool!" He Wei growled.

Bang - Suddenly, there was a muffled gunshot. Just as he was about to feed the horse saliva, He Wei suddenly felt a gust of wind coming towards him. His body seemed to have been hit by a heavy punch, and there was a burning pain in his left neck. The sharp sound of bullets piercing the air penetrated my ears.

Ah, plop - He Wei leaned back and fell heavily to the ground.
……

Seeing that they hit the target, Yang Biao and Jiang Qilong were excited and jumped out of the hidden pit and started flirting with the defeated "jail". Yang Biao laughed happily.

what-

When the two saw the Japs lying on the ground at close range, they shouted almost simultaneously. Yang Biao's laughter turned into a scream, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of horror.

Jiang Qilong stared blankly at He Wei who fell on the ground, trembled, and stuttered to Yang Biao, who had his mouth open and was stunned. "Squad... deputy, this is not... a ghost... a devil, it's Platoon Leader He... you beat Platoon Leader He to death!"

He Wei fell to the ground, with a bright red color flowing out from his neck. He looked at the gradually blurring sky and murmured in a weak voice.

"Mom... Damn, I was beaten by one of my own. I... I... am not dead. I think I can still... rescue him."

After He Wei finished saying this feebly, his eyes suddenly darkened, his eyelids closed tightly, and he passed out.
……………a moment later
"Platoon commander! Platoon commander!"

"It didn't hit his vitals. The bullet grazed his neck. Why can't he get up? Don't be afraid of hysteria."

"What is the platoon leader! What is the platoon leader!"

"Try pouring cold water on your face..." "Try pinching someone, slap him..."

……

On the sixth company's position, a row of brothers gathered together. Lying on the ground were the "Japanese" soldiers who had just been knocked down by Yang Biao's shot. They were all talking about ideas, trying to save the unconscious soldiers. The "Japanese Army" woke up.

That's right, the Japanese soldier lying down was He Wei. After his neck was grazed by a [-] rifle bullet, He Wei fell to the ground and fell unconscious. Yang Biao and Jiang Qilong, who were on guard, worked together to carry him back.

Now, he was lying straight on the ground, with his neck wrapped around the wound. The [-] rifles and equipment he had brought back, as well as debris were piled aside. No matter how the row of soldiers shouted, they even poured four pots of water on his face. Neither water nor He Wei responded.

The instigator, Yang Biao, squatted in the trench, deflated the eggplant, and was worried. He never expected that the person he shot down was actually the platoon leader of his own platoon.

Although this guy was very arrogant, Yang Biao was also panicked when something like this happened. At best, it was an accidental injury; at worst, it was because he was unprepared and did not conduct proper investigation, thus accidentally injuring the commander!
"Platoon commander, platoon commander."

The squad leader, Ge Guicai, squatted on the ground and pushed He Wei. He was very happy when he saw He Wei coming back at first, but now he was panicked.

The bullet that hit He Wei clearly grazed his neck. Veterans all know that such injuries can be wrapped up and it will be fine. However, He Wei has been unconscious and breathing, but he is lying on the ground and does not wake up.

"Brother Ge, no response."

Tu Desheng, the third squad leader, said.

"Did you tell the company commander?"

"I let Xiao Tao go."

"Ah."

Ge Guicai stood up. Now he was also confused as a monk. He thought he could only wait for the company commander Fu Chen to come and then think of a solution.

The soldiers gathered in a circle, and most of the platoon was surrounded. It was very chaotic.

Second squad leader Luo Youdao cursed loudly and dispersed the soldiers who had gathered together.

"Let's all disperse. Go to work. If the little devil pounces on you later, you won't be able to hit your head with it. If you don't want to die, just be quick!"

The row of onlookers turned around and continued to build fortifications, leaving three squad leaders guarding He Wei, Ge Guicai, Tu Desheng, and Luo Youdao, who looked at each other with big eyes.

Looking at He Wei, who was lying like a dead pig, and then at the Sanba Gai of the three Japanese soldiers, the three of them were not only worried about He Wei, but also very curious about how He Wei brought back so many items and equipment from the Japanese soldiers?And brought back a horse?
