The Iron-Blooded Army of Beacon Fire

Chapter 93 Acting Company Commander
When the war was about to begin, something like this happened. The platoon leader, a second lieutenant of a mortar platoon, escaped from the battlefield and injured the company commander. No one expected that he would soon start a fight with the Japanese, and such a thing would happen. Bird thing.

He Wei, who was furious, notified Fang Jing and Hu Zhaowu, the two platoon leaders, asking them to stabilize the troops and positions and not cause any trouble. On the other hand, he sent someone to send Fu Chen to Yanzhuang and asked Chen Zhen tried his best to rescue Fu Chen. With Fu Chen's injuries, ordinary field hospitals could not save him and could only do temporary treatment. If he really wanted to save his life from the Lord of Hell, he would probably have to send him to a hospital in Taiyuan. Hospital.

Chen Zhen learned the news in Yanzhuang and was furious. There was going to be a big war soon. Someone actually ran away with a gun. Chen Zhen called all the eighteen generations of the mortar platoon leader Huang Yanwang's ancestors on the phone. After greeting each other, he wished he could cut these three deserters and officials into pieces. After Chen Zhen had cursed enough on the phone, he told He Wei to stabilize the army, and at the same time issued a message to He Wei. It is still an order of great significance to the Sixth Company. The content of this order is that He Wei will temporarily act as the commander of the Sixth Company.

This also means that from now on, He Wei will officially take over the sixth company, and at the same time, he will also become the supreme commander of Yanzhuang's first line position.

The current situation, the good news of the acting company commander, does not make He Wei feel happy at all. Due to Huang Decai's escape, problems have arisen in the unit. The unit with the problem is not another unit, but Huang Decai's mortar platoon. In order to In order to appease the troops and stabilize people's hearts, He Wei personally went to the mortar platoon's position. When he arrived, he found that although the mortar platoon had not reached the point of frying, it was not far behind.

At the mortar platoon position, He Wei was carrying a submachine gun, followed by Ge Guicai's heavily armed first squad. In front of him were dozens of mortar platoon soldiers gathered together. The situation was more serious than he thought. Huang Yama not only escaped by himself, but also abducted the sergeant squad leader of a combat artillery squad and the sergeant platoon attached to the platoon, taking away two key members in one go.

"Everyone, can anyone tell me what's going on with your platoon leader?"

He Wei was already angry, but when he heard that King Huang had kidnapped two old sergeants, he became even more angry. He asked the soldiers in the mortar platoon with a sullen face.

The soldiers below were already panic-stricken, but now that they saw He Wei's gloomy face and not even daring to take a breath, naturally no one responded.

After half a minute of silence, a sergeant with awkward legs and feet came out.

"Sir, let me tell you."

He Wei took a closer look and recognized that this sergeant was the observation sergeant who was beaten by Huang Yanwang with a pole stick when he came to the mortar platoon to deliver the reward.

"Sir, this matter has to start with the day you came to deliver the reward. That day you spoke to us big soldiers and prevented the platoon leader from beating us. Our platoon leader may have felt that he was being humiliated, and the reward was also No, since you left, you have started inciting the brothers to desert with him, saying that no one will survive after this war, so if you want money, follow him if you want to live."

"The brothers usually hate him and dare not speak out when they are angry. Naturally no one follows him at this time. Only Sun Pai and Squad Leader Cao of the first class agree. The two of them usually follow Huang Yan Wang to bully the brothers. At this time he The two of us will definitely go together."

Speaking of this, the observation sergeant's face was full of hatred.

He Wei nodded and asked: "How did they escape? The reward money was also taken away?"

The observation sergeant replied: "They were all swept away. Originally, they were planning to run along the traffic trench, but they bumped into Company Commander Fu on the road. After shooting and wounding Company Commander Fu, they returned to the same route and took away two pack horses. The mortar horses rode away along the open field, and all the money was taken away by Huang Yanwang." "Sir, they also took away the three automatic rifles and two medium-sized rifles in the platoon." The corporal interjected.

After understanding the basic situation, He Wei looked at this group of anxious soldiers and thought to himself that this is not what it is. This platoon is completely different now. The platoon leader ran away, the platoon auxiliary also ran away, and the squad leader also ran away. Now we must re-adjust personnel. Otherwise, let alone fighting, we will be in chaos as soon as the gun goes off.

Look at the observation sergeant in front of you. Among other things, this person seems to have been refusing to deal with the King of Hell and refuses to run away from the King of Hell. This means that he is at least a decent person. In the conversation just now, it can be seen that His speech is very logical and organized, and he seems to be very prestigious among the soldiers. Perhaps, this is a useful person.

"I won't talk in circles with you anymore. The situation is urgent now. Let me ask you directly. Your platoon leader is not here, one squad leader has left, and the platoon leader has also run away. I want your platoon to fight, and I plan to let you act as the agent for this platoon." Chief, tell me, can you do it now?"

The observation staff sergeant named Xu was stunned by He Wei's question and did not answer immediately.

He Wei continued: "I am just a newly promoted lieutenant myself, and I have no right to promote you to an officer. But now I need someone to bring this mortar platoon up and organize it. If this battle is over, we will all come If you are still alive, then I will definitely recommend you to my superiors as an officer. Whether you can do this job or not is up to you."

Sergeant Xu hesitated for a moment, and finally said resolutely: "Sir, you have said so. My surname is Xu, I can't help but appreciate it. If I work with you, I can still fight with those few people in this platoon." Originally, Huang Yanwang did not care about training, and was led by veterans and old sergeants. Those brothers who did not run away would have no problem shooting these two mortars well. I will definitely serve as a platoon leader. '

He Wei smiled and patted Sergeant Xu on the shoulder, then turned his head and looked at the soldiers in the mortar platoon.

"Brothers, King Huang is a bastard. He usually drinks soldiers' blood and beats and scolds soldiers. Now he has abandoned the brothers. First of all, I want to tell you that none of the guys who escaped can survive. The division headquarters has sent If someone goes to arrest him, he will be shot immediately as soon as he is captured. Huang Yan Wang thought that he could escape and survive, but he was wrong and ran away, and now he is a dead end."

"If you want to survive, you have to risk your life. Our lives can only rely on the guns in our hands and our cannons to fight the Japanese. The only way to survive is in our position. King Huang Yan has escaped. I, He Wei, I am not running away. I am with the brothers. The brothers will go outside to eat meat with my brothers in the sixth company in a while. When we are full and drunk, tomorrow we will walk around in this oil pan and have a baby together. Let’s die together.”

"I, He Wei, will always be with my brothers."

After finishing speaking, the dejection in the eyes of these mortar platoon soldiers, who were originally ashen-looking and panic-stricken, was gradually replaced by fiery and perseverance.

Looking at these soldiers and feeling the completely different auras emanating from them, He Wei knew that the hearts of this platoon had stabilized.
