Chapter 78 Deputy Battalion Commander
When I found the company's hidden place, the whole company was stunned as if they were seeing ghosts, and then they gathered around and spoke in a word.
"Captain Cui, are you okay?" Jin Qiulian said that again. I seemed to have heard her say this several times, but this time it sounds better, saying "not dead" as "nothing".
"I just say this kid is lucky and lucky!" Hu Zi laughed and said, "It's been several times. We all thought this kid was dead. Not long after, nothing happened..."
"Go...what are you talking about? You're not serious!" The old squad leader couldn't help but scold Hu Zi, handed over two compressed biscuits and said, "You're so hungry, company commander! Have something first."
The old squad leader is still careful. I didn’t say much, and I took the biscuit and tore it open and bit it.
"Captain Cui!" Instructor Zhao stared at me for a long time before saying, "Don't everyone say that... the comrade saw the American plane blowing you into a cave with his own eyes! Did you see the relationship wrong?"
"That's right!" I said blurredly while swallowing the dry biscuits hard: "I crawled out."
"I'm talking about Company Commander Cui!" Zhao Yongxin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you want to climb out, hurry up! Instructor Zhao has done some ideological work for us for a while, and asked us to get out of grief over and over again, turn grief into hatred, and kill the enemy bravely... I heard how many calluses we had in our ears!"
"Yoho...you're talking about me?" Hearing the words, Instructor Zhao replied dissatisfiedly: "Who was the red eyes just now and didn't speak? Who was going to disobey the order and shouting to go to the company commander?"
The soldiers smiled happily and joked, and the recruits who participated in the battle also joined in. I deeply felt their simple and deep feelings in their hearts. I came from the intrigue world of modern times, and I deeply felt how valuable this feeling is.
At this time, the dozen new recruits guarding the black regiment also returned to the team, but now they seemed to have become aliens, with no smoke, dusty faces, no bloody cotton coats, and no murderous eyes...
Even in their eyes, they could see a few traces of fear and doubt. I, who was once a recruit, knew their current feelings very well. They were afraid because they found that there were only a few people who could come back alive in this battle, so they thought about whether they could survive the next battle; they were puzzled because they didn't understand that the new recruits who had joined the army with them had only been separated for a few hours, and they were like they had become different!
"By the way, Captain Cui!" Seeing that I had finished eating the biscuits, Instructor Zhao said to me: "The leader is sending someone to find you. I think you should go to the regiment headquarters to report!"
"Yeah!" I responded, touched my stomach with a little bit of strength, grabbed two handfuls of snow from the branch next to me and stuffed it into my mouth and walked towards the regiment headquarters.
"Report! The 2nd Company of the Third Battalion..." He saluted outside the regiment headquarters and shouted for a report, but before he finished speaking, the regiment commander lifted the black cloth and crawled out, and Political Commissar Chen Ye followed him out.
"Huh! Are you back?" Captain Chu patted my shoulder and said, "How are the situation of those trucks of food?"
"That food..." I couldn't help but hesitate.
Actually, I knew those trucks of grain were fine. Except for the last truck that was blown up, the grain on the truck was just buried. But if I said it now, Commander Chu would send someone to dig out the grain at night and then distribute it to the entire army...
"It doesn't matter! It's good if you come back safely!" Chen Ye saw that I was hesitant and thought that the food must not be saved, so he comforted me and said, "Although the food is not saved, your spirit of not fearing sacrifice and being brave enough to protect grain is still worthy of praise. Don't take it too seriously!"
"Um, umm..." I shouldn't be just confused. I just wanted to save those trucks of food for the most difficult time of the volunteers, so I didn't want to say it out. But I didn't dare to say it. One day when I wanted to punish me for lying about military affairs, I could also make excuses to refuse.
"The political commissar is right!" Captain Chu looked in a good mood, nodded and smiled at me, "You are driving a car, it's normal that you can't compare to the enemy's plane. Come on... go in and talk!"
As he said that, he pulled me into the air-raid shelter without saying anything. After entering the hole, I unexpectedly found that there was a British man who looked like an officer sitting upright on the chair. Two fully armed volunteer soldiers stood upright behind him and were looking at the British man meticulously.
"Captain Chu, this is..." I couldn't help asking in confusion.
"I'm talking about Company Commander Cui!" Commander Chu laughed and said, "You've blown up all his tanks, but you don't know who he is?"
"Well, is he from the Tank Battalion?"
"That's right." Chen Ye handed me a cup of hot water: "He is the battalion commander of the Royal British Tank Battalion, his name is Ke... What's that Comrade Liu's name?"
"Major Koenice!" A volunteer soldier who looked like a translator responded.
Because they are both translators, I couldn't help but look at Xiao Liu more. She was wearing a pair of glasses and looked white and tender. She should be a college student.
"Yes, it's Major Konis!" Political Commissar Chen Ye shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then said, "I said, Captain Cui, you beat him up badly. After Major Konis was captured by us, he was clamoring to meet the people who defeated his tank camp. We were worried that we couldn't find anyone, and you happened to come."
"Little Liu!" Commander Chu happily sat on the wooden bench and pointed at me and said, "Tell the British man that this company commander Cui, who used only one company to blow up their twelve tanks!"
"Yes!" After hearing this, Xiao Liu was obviously stunned, as if he couldn't believe that I was the hero who exploded the tank. Then he hesitated to the officer in a naughty English: "thisisthe..."
"I am the one you are looking for." I felt uncomfortable when I heard Xiao Liu's English, so I simply walked up and reached out and said in fluent English: "Hello, Major Koenis, I have to admit that I exploded your tank, but don't expect me to pay you. If you are here to collect debts, I'm afraid I will disappoint you!"
"It's you?" Major Koenis jumped up as if he was stabbed by a needle, staring at me blankly for a while before reaching out his hand: "For the dignity of the Royal Tank Battalion, I want to tell you that if it were during the day, we would not lose to you. This is an unfair war. We can't see you in the tank, but you can use anti-tank guns to use the moonlight..."
"I completely agree with you Major Koenice!" I interrupted Koenice without hesitation and replied in a tough tone: "This is indeed an unfair war, because we are not equipped with anti-tank guns at all. The weapons we have to blow up your tanks are blasting tubes, explosive packs, grenades, and the blood and lives of the soldiers!"
"What?" This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the gentleman Major Koonis. He was so humiliated that he almost jumped up: "You brag, can you use a blasting tube, explosive pack, and grenade to blow up my heavy tank? Can you defeat the Royal Heavy Tank Battalion? There has never been such a saying in our British military textbooks..."
"You may not believe me, but do you not believe in your own eyes?" I spread my hands at Major Koenis: "Major Koenis, have you seen our army possess an anti-tank gun during the period when you were captured by us? Even if it was just one?"
Major Koenice was silent, thought for a while, and finally lowered his noble head dejectedly.
"Beat it!" After Major Koenis was taken away, Captain Chu signaled me to sit down: "The battle situation last night was completely beyond our expectations. Fortunately, you dragged the enemy tightly, otherwise our group would have to let the comrades of the brother group make jokes last night!"
"This time!" Chen Ye nodded and said, "not only wouldn't let the comrades laugh at me, but our regiment also showed their faces. He suddenly destroyed a heavy tank battalion of the enemy and seized a lot of food."
"Comrade Cui!" Chen Ye continued after lit the cigarette in his hand: "In view of your outstanding performance in the battle, the regiment commander and I unanimously decided to promote you to deputy battalion commander. I hope that you will continue to carry forward this spirit of not fearing death and not fearing hardship in the new position, and lead the soldiers to achieve greater victory in future battles..."
"What?" I was stunned when I heard this. The first thing that came to my mind was that I was leaving that company. Since I came to this world, I have never left that company. I have always been a member of the company to kill enemies on the battlefield, and have been through life and death together. Now I really can't bear to leave that company.
"Political Commissar!" I couldn't help but hesitate: "Can I... not be a battalion commander? I'm used to staying in that company..."
"Oh! I really got the leader of the group to tell me!" Before I could finish speaking, political commissar Chen Ye looked at him and Chief Chu and laughed, making me feel a little confused.
"Originally, I really wanted you to go to another army to be the battalion commander." Chen Ye explained: "But the regiment commander said that you cannot live without the company. He said that you might be the deputy battalion commander in your own battalion, but he didn't expect that he would really hit it."
"Ah?" I touched my head, thinking that it would be good if I was a deputy battalion commander in my own battalion, and I could be promoted without leaving the company...
"Report!" I walked out of the regiment headquarters and returned to the shelter. I quickly found Xu Feng and saluted him: "Report to Battalion Commander Xu, Cui Wei, deputy battalion commander of the 353rd Regiment, came to report that this is a letter of appointment!"
"Well, I'm a deputy battalion commander, good!" Xu Feng took the appointment letter and took a look and handed it back to me: "Instructor Lin Zhenglong, Company Commander of the First Company Huang Chuanyu, Company Commander of the Second Company, please let the soldiers choose one later. Company Commander of the Third Company Wu Zhong, if you have time to get familiar with it, go down and rest!"
