Chapter 751: Bai Chengzi! (3)
"This Li Haiqing actually has this trick." Lu Shan couldn't help but smile bitterly when he received a telegram from Li Haiqing's "application".
"This Li Haiqing is also very affectionate and righteous. Shi Wazi saved his life. All the soldiers from a battalion were sacrificed, and only Shi Wazi and five others were left. If Shi Wazi was followed according to military law, Shi Wazi would not be too many times to be shot ten times!" Ying Ruoyu said.
"Have a meeting to discuss it. This matter is not small. If it is not handled properly, it will make the soldiers below feel heartbroken!" Lu Shan said.
"Yes, just because one person was angry for a moment, the casualties of 386 people were encountered for the first time since the establishment of the Dongzong!" Ying Ruoyu said.
"Call everyone at home and let's discuss the problem of dealing with Shiwazi!" Lu Shan said.
"The meeting was moved to the large conference room below. All ministerial-level officials at the headquarters were attending. Those on duty could ask for leave, but all departments must attend the chief officer. Just like that, I will issue a notice immediately!" Lu Shan said.
The reason why the meeting was expanded was that one wanted to convey an attitude of paying attention to such things, and the other was to warn Quandong Zong that although Shi Wazi's affairs were on the front line, it did not mean that things like hot-headed things could not happen to the headquarters!
The struggle is cruel and the enemy is cruel. You must always keep a calm mind. This is the key factor in the victory of the next battle with the Japanese devils!
An hour later, the meeting was held on time, with no flowers, no rostrum, and no preparations. Everyone sat around Lu Shan, Qin Shiyu, and Liu Yushu. Ying Ruoyu. Now with Li Du, these five people are considered the core leaders of the Dongzong, and Lei Dong and Tang Juwu.
This is the highest seven-person group of the East Zong!
"Scholar, please announce it!" Lu Shan saw everyone and signaled to Liu Yushu.
Liu Yushu nodded, took out a punishment decision, took it up, and read it: "About the punishment decision of Liu Tiejun, the commander of the Third Regiment of the 12th Brigade..."
"I won't talk about this punishment decision first. Let's talk about the latest situation of Shi Gandang, the commander of the third battalion who caused Liu Tiejun to be punished. Shi Gandang is still alive. He was pulled out of the deadly people by four soldiers and dragged it back. But fortunately, the injury was not deadly and survived. The purpose of the meeting today is how to deal with Shi Gandang. To be honest, the Eastern Zong has encountered countless difficulties and obstacles for more than half a year since its establishment, and we have overcome them. But this is. It makes me embarrassed. I don't know what to deal with, so I called everyone over and let's discuss how to deal with this Shi Gandang?" Lu Shan said slowly.
"No matter how much credit such a person makes, he will attack without orders and kill so many brothers without authorization. According to military law, he should be shot!"
"Yes, if you shoot him, how can you be worthy of your dead brother?"
"If the shooting is done, isn't it too serious? Shi Gandang is very brave in war, but he is not afraid of death. I heard that this man saved the life of the commander Li Haiqing. There were seven or eight gunshots on his body, and there were three bullet holes, and there were twenty or thirty Japanese soldiers who died under him!" Propaganda Minister Guo Shuang said regretfully.
Shi Gandang is a combat hero. The propaganda department has conducted exclusive interviews with him and published several articles reporting him. Therefore, Guo Shuang is still very familiar with the combat hero of the 12th Brigade.
"Even if he kills the enemy bravely, he made too much mistake. When did our Dongzong suffer such a big defeat in the lives of 386 brothers?" As an old brother who came with Lu Shan, Mao Laosandao, one of the 37 remnants of defeated soldiers at that time.
"Yes, this is 386 lives, and they are all veterans. This is a huge loss..."
"If we want to talk about this revenge, we should seek avenge the Japanese. It is true that Shi Gandang is wrong, but he also wants to save the villagers who were captured by the Japanese. However, he did not expect that this was a trap set by the Japanese, which led to the annihilation of the entire army. He himself almost died. If it weren't for being dug out of the dead, he wouldn't have to be shot!"
"The little Japanese didn't beat him to death. He came back until he died at the hands of our own people. What is this?"
"But he underestimated the enemy and attacked without authorization, causing major casualties. Is this reasonable?"
"I think anyway, Shi Gandang can do it, but you can't kill anyone!"
"If you don't kill him, who will tell you about the three hundred and eighty-six unjust souls?"
"The Japanese devils killed them..."
"Okay, it's noisy, like what? I think this is a vegetable market. I'm asking you to come to listen to your opinions, not to come to see you quarrel!" Ying Ruoyu slapped on the table, and the good man became angry when he heard this.
Lu Shan was smoking and thinking. He was not affected by the fierce debate. Shi Gandang's problem was very tricky. If it was not solved well, it would have a huge impact on the troops' future ideological work and combat effectiveness!
Judging from the argument, most people tend to sympathize with Shi Gandang, or have no mistakes in his subjective ideas. It is just that his own ability and personality defects have led to this tragedy. Moreover, it is not easy to come back alive. If you shoot someone again, it would be too harsh and cruel. This is for your own people!
The other half believed that Shi Gandang violated military discipline and attacked without orders, causing major casualties. Although he survived, such a serious crime was shot to give the dead an explanation and also to alert others that military law was merciless!
If everyone can violate military laws and get the punishment they deserve, how can they command the troops to fight in the future?
The army is not your personal private property. You can do whatever you want. Once the precedent is opened, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The purpose of advocating severe punishment is to remind the generals of the General Column that it is very dangerous to violate military laws and act without authorization.
Severe punishment is necessary, otherwise once this example is opened, wouldn’t it be possible to use this as an example in the future?
However, the degree of severe punishment must be grasped well. It is not that shooting is the best way. Killing is very simple. A gun or a bullet is enough!
But what after shooting?
The 12th Brigade is not the direct line of the Eastern Corps, and it is also a newly affiliated force. If this matter is handled in such a fierce way, will it arouse the dissatisfaction among the officers and soldiers of the 12th Brigade and Li Haiqing's attitude be considered!
Even if he is his own direct troops, he must consider it carefully. If he is a deserter on the battlefield or refuses to obey, he will be shot directly without thinking about these things.
The nature of this matter is different. First of all, Shi Gantang did not do it for personal selfishness or selfish interests. He was subjectively trying to save people, and objectively he also reported it before he set off. However, before he could wait for his superiors to approve it, he led his troops to chase him!
This is suspected of killing first and then reporting. Moreover, when he led the troops to chase after him, his superiors could not catch up with him, so he could only let him save people!
If you successfully save someone, the crime will be lighter. At most, you will be punished first and then reported, send troops without authorization, demotion, confinement, and transfer from the original troops.
The problem is that not only is the person not saved, but he has also taken himself into it. This nature has changed!
This is like rape. Although rape and attempted rape are rape, the judge will be sentenced to seriousness. Rape will be sentenced to seriousness because it causes substantial harm to girls. The attempted rape is only mentally but physically not damaged. The consequences are relatively light, and the sentence will be sentenced to a lighter sentence!
Of course, this metaphor is not very appropriate, but the truth is common, and any sin depends on the consequences!
"I think it's wrong for Shi Gan to be the commander of Battalion Shi. But subjectivity is not the result he wants. His personality is a little impulsive and is not suitable for being a commander. It's just that he has made many contributions and became the battalion commander, which led to today's tragedy. There are reasons for Shi Gan to be himself, and there are reasons for the 12th Brigade in the use of cadres. He cannot be beaten to death with one stick!" Liu Yushu said slowly.
"Shi Gandang is very brave in fighting on the battlefield, but he has no education and has no experience in commanding hundreds of people to fight. It would be strange if there is no problem if there is no problem!"
"That is, many of our anti-Japanese armed forces were beaten by the Japanese because they suffered heavy losses. They were not much stronger than us. They were not the commander's ability. When they commanded dozens of people, they always beat the Japanese and could not find the North. However, when they had hundreds of people under them, they could not find the North. With more people, they could not beat them. Isn't this worth our serious thinking?"
"It seems that there are quite a lot of people who realize this problem!" Lu Shan glanced at everyone and said slowly.
"Mr. Lu, it is urgent to improve the capabilities of grassroots commanders." Ying Ruoyu said.
"Yes, a large part of our grassroots commanders are exploring and fighting on their own without formal military education, so they can do whatever they want when fighting, and win or lose with luck. This is not possible, especially in the newly joined forces, so we need to change this situation. The establishment of our military command academy at Harbin Institute of Technology is the first step. Our army must face the future and take the path of regularization, modernization and elite military power!" Lu Shan said seriously, "The second step is related to winter training. There may be still wars to fight now, so it can only be carried out in part of the troops. The military rotation training system must be normalized. We cannot communicate with foreign troops. It is okay to communicate with our own people!"
"The two military sub-districts of Liaodong and Jidong are the 2nd Brigade as the parent brigade, and other troops are the sub-bikes, and exchange experiences in batches to improve the training level and combat effectiveness of the troops. The 1st Brigade of the North Manchuria War Zone is the 1st Brigade. This method has begun a small-scale pilot and can be fully deployed in one month!"
"The headquarters staff must also participate in training. The specific training methods and requirements will be formulated and announced soon. At the same time, there will be assessments. Those who fail the assessment will be suspended for training until they pass the qualification!" Liu Yushu announced.
"The Shi Gandang incident happened at this critical moment, and it was also a warning to everyone. Never underestimate our enemies just because they won a few battles. A small impulse is hundreds of lives!" Lu Shan said sternly, "Do you all understand?"
"Understood!"
"A meeting to discuss how to deal with Shi Gandang is not the purpose, but to remind you not to make the mistakes Shi Gandang made!"
"Go back and think about Mr. Lu's speech!" Ying Ruoyu waved his hand and announced, "The meeting ended!"
"Mr. Lu, what should I do with Shi Gandang?"
"Killing is not the purpose, saving people is the purpose. Shi Gandang is very brave in war and is a good knife. This good knife is used well. Killing enemies is like cutting melons and vegetables. Whether it is used well can hurt oneself. Our troops cannot use people entirely based on credit, it depends on ability and character!" Lu Shan said.
"Mr. Lu is right. Shi Gandang is very good at fighting and has made great contributions. However, he is a little loyal, impulsive, illiterate, and has limited ability. It is difficult to be a squad leader, let alone the commander of the first battalion?" Ying Ruoyu said.
"Aren't he seriously injured? He removed his post first, and all his merits were cancelled. When the injury healed, he went to the direct team to raise the horse!" Lu Shan said.
"To the direct team to raise horses, Lao Lu, aren't you interested in Shi Gan believing it?" Qin Shiyu said with a burst of laughter.
