Chapter 185 Zhanghe Blocks 14
Li Qinglin patted Xiao Liuzi on the shoulder and comforted him: "It doesn't matter, there is nothing, I'll just do it next time."
At this moment, the regiment commander sent a notice to the company commander to serve as the battalion of the 150th Regiment.
Yesterday, the 150th Regiment was defeated, and their battalion company-level officers suffered heavy casualties. In order to rebuild the 150th Regiment, the division had to draw grassroots officers from various units to lead troops. Yesterday, the 5th Company gave the two Japanese command knives to the top of the peak played a role. When the division transferred officers, the company commander immediately, so the company commander was promoted to the second battalion of the 150th Regiment.
The company commander held the notification in his hand and his face turned red with excitement. Li Qinglin stepped forward and held the company commander's hand, congratulations, "Sir, congratulations! You should treat you after the war."
The company commander repeatedly said, "Happy together! I will definitely treat you to a good meal after the war."
Then he said to Li Qinglin sincerely: "Brother, we are not a fool. I was able to improve this time because you won the battle. I know this. If I have been in the 52nd Army for so many years, I should have been promoted long ago, but we are not from Shaanxi, so we are always behind others. Brother, if you continue to be in the 52nd Army in the future, you must have a good relationship with the Shaanxi people."
Li Qinglin came to the 52nd Army very late and was really not clear about these tricks. He held the company commander's hand and said, "Thank you for your reminder! I will definitely pay attention to these things in the future."
The company commander left with the notice, and the messenger in the regiment took out another notice. The notice in the regiment was very simple, which was to order Li Qinglin to be the acting company commander of the fifth company.
Zhang Ergou and the others came to congratulate him when they heard the news. Li Qinglin pointed to his second lieutenant symbol and smiled bitterly: "What's this? We are still second lieutenant. Isn't we just an acting company commander now? There's nothing to celebrate."
Xiao Liuzi smiled and said, "Brother, no matter what, you have to say it now. This is always a good thing, right? To celebrate your master's name, let's give you a good thing."
As Xiao Liuzi said that, he took out an oval leather box from behind and handed it to Li Qinglin. Li Qinglin took it and opened it. There was a telescope inside it.
This is a "Nine-San" quadruple telescope produced by "Japan Optics". This low-magnification telescope is equipped with a large number of subordinate officers of the Japanese Army. It is commonly known as "Cao Changjing" on the Chinese battlefield.
After the "September 18th" Incident, the Japanese army timely summarized experiences and lessons. In order to allow infantry and cavalry officers to observe the battlefield, search for enemy situations and observe projectiles, the Japanese military placed an order for "Japan Optics" to produce low-cost telescopes.
The "Nine-San" telescope has only a low magnification of four times and is called "the drama viewing mirror" in Europe. Telescopes with less than five times have small field of view and no image rotation device, which is not suitable for military purposes. However, the opponent of the Japanese army is the more backward Chinese army, which is a rare equipment in the Chinese army, especially among subordinate officers.
Li Qinglin put the telescope in his backpack and smiled and said, "This was seized yesterday, right? Why didn't you take it out yesterday?"
Xiao Liuzi curled his lips and said, "I gave you so many good things yesterday, haven't you transferred them to the company commander?"
Li Qinglin patted his shoulder and said, "Everything else is ready to be sorted out and sold at a good price when resting. In this battle, the brothers suffered heavy casualties. Then send some money to the brothers who died in battle, and the brothers who are alive will be given some money. This is also a comfort."
It was already late at night, and the officers and soldiers of the Fifth Company were very tired. They squeezed each other and gradually fell asleep.
The sky gradually became brighter and a new day began. The little north wind was still blowing, and there were many clouds in the sky. Today was a cloudy day.
Li Qinglin took out his telescope and looked at the north bank of the Zhang River. Although the "Nine-San" magnification is low, the surface of the Zhang River is not wide, and the Japanese army opposite is not far away. It can be seen in sloppy through the telescope.
Looking at the other side of the Zhang River through the telescope, I saw that there were not many Japanese troops in front of the 25th Division. After a closer look, Li Qinglin could not see any signs of preparation before the attack. They seemed to have been injured yesterday.
Xiao Liuzi also looked at the telescope, and then asked in confusion: "There are only a few Japanese on the other side, and their cannons and artillery positions were also bombed. Why didn't the army fight over in one go?"
At this time, for a commander, only with an army can he have strength, and no one will pay attention to you without an army. There are now a lot of generals and lieutenant generals in the government of the Republic of China, but they have no soldiers in their hands, and no one will listen to their words. Therefore, the national army has always had the tradition of preserving strength, and Guan Linzheng is no exception.
Li Qinglin pointed to the officers and soldiers on the position and said, "We were all beaten up yesterday. Maybe the army will arrange new troops to attack."
While having breakfast, an order came from the regiment: the First War Zone Command was ordered. Because the Japanese army found signs of abnormal movement, the 52nd Army stationed in Qi County, Ji County and Xinxiang areas, and the positions currently guarded by the 52nd Army were handed over to the 32nd Army to guard.
After lunch, the 25th Division handed over the position to the 32nd Army and embarked on the journey of transferring garrison.
There were only 44 people in the Fifth Company, including Li Qinglin, and nine of them were slightly injured. The forty people in the rest of the war were brought by Li Qinglin from the 10th Division, and there were also the security regiments and the defeated soldiers halfway, as well as the new recruits who were later added. The brotherly feelings on the battlefield were the most sincere. After fighting side by side for the past few days, all the people merged together, and the Fifth Company has now become a whole.
Li Qinglin acted as the company commander, and Xiao Liuzi has now been appointed as the first platoon leader, so he can't take care of some compradors' affairs. Li Qinglin remembered that he had also taken over a small business soldier on the way to break through, so he arranged for him and Ding Goudan to be responsible for purchasing such chores.
This person who does a small business is from Shanxi, whose name is Jin Mingjun. This person is really a talent.
Shanxi people have been doing business since ancient times. Jin Mingjun joined a business apprentice at the age of 16. He was a strong man who was arrested on the way to collect accounts for his boss. Jin Mingjun went to a private school for a few years and was quite good at reading a few words. After entering the business, he was humble and studious, and learned a good abacus. He carried a small wooden box with him, and opened it on both sides. He opened it with a small abacus. The four treasures of the study were filled with pockets.
The small abacus was only the size of a palm, and the abacus beads were only a little larger than long rice grains. Li Qinglin once asked him how to make such a small abacus. Jin Mingjun picked up the small brush to demonstrate. It turned out that he used the thin rod of the brush to dial the abacus beads.
Li Qinglin and his team followed the 52nd Army's large army to march urgently. In order to increase nutrition for the injured and sick people in the team, he asked Xiao Liuzi to spend money to buy some chicken, duck, fish, meat and other food along the way of the marching.
Jin Mingjun and Ding Goudan have really done their best after accepting the purchasing business, especially Jin Mingjun, who has worked as a partner, who asked for a lot of money and was fully utilized to pay back the money. Every time, he could buy the best things at the lowest price.
Jin Mingjun, who has worked as a friend, also has a good habit, which is to keep accounts. Every time he collects money, he will remember it clearly with paper and pen, and it is not bad at all in terms of money. Xiao Liuzi is most satisfied with this.
