Chapter 761 Excluded? (Two chapters in one!)
"Chen Liwen, what did you do? Other troops are all full of fighting spirit and are training vigorously. Why do you look lifeless when you arrive at your special agent camp, just like the army has just lost a battle!" Zhou Cheng shouted with dissatisfaction when he walked to the door.
Chen Liwen was worried that he didn't know how to speak to Zhou Cheng. Zhou Cheng's scolding undoubtedly gave him an excellent opportunity. He quickly replied: "The commander of the group is not the soldiers who are dead and have no morale, but everyone can't see hope and think it's not interesting to continue practicing!"
After saying that, Chen Liwen hesitated for a few seconds before he mustered up the courage to continue, "Captain, I think the regiment headquarters has opinions on our spy camp."
"I have heard that the rest of our National Salvation Army have received orders to raid the Eighth Route Army base, but our secret service battalion and the guard battalion did not receive the order."
"The guard battalion must protect the regiment headquarters and cannot attack casually. Our special agent battalion has no mission, so why didn't he receive the order to attack!"
Zhou Cheng understood that Chen Liwen was annoyed that the spy camp had not received the order to attack.
Seeing that other troops were about to go to the battlefield to kill the Japanese, the special agent battalion was left in the defense zone and had nothing to do. This was tantamount to torture for a soldier who was eager to go to the battlefield.
Faced with this situation, Zhou Cheng was not only not angry, but was very happy.
Chen Liwen felt resentment in his heart, which showed that he was eager to go to the battlefield, and this was the commander needed by the National Salvation Army.
If he didn't want to go to the battlefield and was indifferent to the orders from the left-behind defense zone, it means that he was a commander without fighting spirit. Zhou Cheng not only wouldn't like it, but would also try every means to replace it!
Facing Chen Liwen's nervous and guilty gaze, he replied: "Captain Chen, you must have thought too much. I, Zhou Cheng, have absolutely no objection to you. As for the regiment headquarters, not only did not exclude the secret service camp, but also attached great importance to the secret service camp!"
Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu immediately responded: "Captain Chen, you are really thinking too much!"
"Although you are from the Jinsui Army, you have been your own since the moment you chose to join the National Salvation Army. The regiment will never wear tinted glasses to treat everyone, unless some people are in Cao's camp and are forced to exclude him!"
"If you don't say anything else, just look at me!"
"Before joining the National Salvation Army, I not only stayed in the Jinsui Army, but also in the Northwest Army. My identity is even more complicated than you. I will still be the chief of staff of the National Salvation Army!"
"As for you, although you have experienced being the Jinsui Army and are also a company commander. But as soon as you join the commander of the National Salvation Army, you will keep you in the position of the company commander, and you will strengthen the company commander. The troops you command are nearly twice as many as before you joined the National Salvation Army. If the regiment commander does not believe you, you will definitely not let you command so many troops, but will rise openly and descend secretly, and remove your command?"
"There are also the previous expansion. If the regiment commander does not trust you or the spy company, why did the spy company be expanded into a spy battalion? And it is also a reinforcement battalion, and you have been promoted from company commander to battalion commander!"
Chen Liwen was speechless by the Chief of Staff, and then lowered his head with shame.
The Chief of Staff was right. If the regiment did not trust him, he would definitely not give him such great power and would even be promoted.
After a while, I dared to raise my head and looked at Zhou Cheng and Chen Zhengyu with a very embarrassed answer: "Captain of the regiment, Chief of Staff, I am too stingy and judge a gentleman's ambition by the heart of a villain."
"Since I joined the National Salvation Army, the regiment has not only not excluded me, but has trusted me very much. I am confused!"
"I feel that I am no longer suitable to be the battalion commander of the spy battalion. Please punish the regiment commander!"
Zhou Cheng thought about the order: "It's time to give you a punishment!"
"As a battalion commander, the most important thing you should do when encountering emergencies is to be optimistic about your own troops, rather than catching up on the wind and shadows. If you are impatient, complain at the command center based on your own guess, which will affect the morale of the troops!"
"From now on, you will act as the deputy battalion commander as the deputy battalion commander. If you perform well in the future and no such stupid things will happen again, the regiment headquarters will remove the word "agent" on your head!"
"If you haven't learned your lesson and do such a stupid thing in the future, don't act as a battalion commander, just be a veritable deputy battalion commander!"
Chen Liwen is ready to be removed from the battalion commander's position by the regiment commander.
The reason why the secret service camp is depressed and lifeless is that it is not a willingness to receive the order to attack, but it is a big factor in not fulfilling its duties as a battalion commander.
If I had controlled the morale of the troops from the beginning and told everyone that the regiment headquarters did not exclude the secret service camp, this was just a general mobilization and then stabilize the morale of the army. The secret service camp would never be so chaotic.
In addition, I just questioned the regiment headquarters in front of the regiment leader to exclude the secret service camp, but the result was to judge the gentleman with the heart of a villain...
It would be nice to be able to continue to be a deputy battalion commander if two wrong things were added together.
Unexpectedly, the regiment commander took away his position as battalion commander on the surface, but in fact he asked him to continue to serve as battalion commander. Except that his reputation was not as loud as before, he did not lose his power at all, which was undoubtedly a huge surprise for him.
Hurry up and promised Zhou Cheng: "Please rest assured, the leader of the group, I will definitely set an example and no longer do such stupid things!"
Zhou Cheng continued: "I believe in your military literacy and execution ability very much. I hope you will continue to work hard and remove the word "agent" on your head as soon as possible!"
"Okay, let's get back to the point!"
"The reason why the secret service camp did not receive the attack order is because the regiment headquarters has a more important task that you need to complete!"
"What important task?" Chen Liwen's first reaction was that joy came from the sky, and his eyes were staring at Zhou Cheng and Chen Zhengyu, asking anxiously.
Chief of Staff Chen Zhengyu took out the document and announced: "After research and decision by the regiment headquarters, the secret service battalion was adapted into a rapid response battalion, directly under the regiment headquarters, Comrade Chen Liwen served as battalion commander... No, your current position should be the deputy battalion commander of the mobile battalion and the acting battalion commander!"
“Quick Response Camp…”
Facing this strange name, Chen Liwen showed a puzzled expression on the spot, looked at Zhou Cheng with confusion and asked: "Captain, I have been in the army for many years and have never heard of the name of the Quick Reaction Force. I wonder what the troops the regiment headquarters has ordered to be adapted to the secret service camp?"
Tang Yufeng explained very seriously: "A quick reaction, as the name suggests, means that after an accident occurs, the special agent battalion can react faster than other troops and maneuver to the battlefield faster!"
After listening to it, Chen Liwen became even more confused: "Isn't that just the reaction speed is a little faster than other troops? Is it enough to conduct long-distance raid training more often and let the troops run faster? Is it necessary to adapt it into a rapid reaction battalion?"
Tang Yufeng smiled, looked at Chen Liwen and shook his head and replied: "Running faster is not enough!"
"No matter how hard you train your two legs, you will still have two legs. It would be nice to run ten kilometers per hour by marching in a hurry. In my eyes, after the adapted Rapid Reaction Battalion encounters an emergency, the speed of the reinforcement battlefield must reach at least 30 kilometers per hour, so as to ensure that the Rapid Reaction Battalion can reach every part of the defense zone within two hours!"
Chen Liwen was shocked by Zhou Cheng's answer, and he was stunned for a while before he reacted from his stunned shock. Then his head was shaken like a rattle, subconsciously denying: "This is impossible!"
"If we only marching with two legs, we will not be able to get a speed of 30 kilometers per hour, no matter how much we train, we will not be able to get a speed of 30 kilometers per hour. Unless there is a car and the road conditions are good, the marching speed of the troops can reach 30 kilometers per hour!"
"But our National Rescue Army only has a dozen cars, and the fuel is pitifully low. At most, one infantry company is transported at a time. Even if they are equipped with all of them, the Quick Response Battalion, cannot meet the requirements you just made by the regiment commander."
Zhou Cheng agreed with Chen Liwen's analysis: "You are right. With only the legs of infantry, no matter how powerful the troops are, they cannot run at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour!"
"Cars are not good either. Not only do we don't have so many automobile equipment troops, but also because the automobile's goal is too big and the road conditions are very high, it is difficult to avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
"So after the Spy Camp is adapted to the Quick Response Camp, I don't plan to configure cars for you!"
Chen Liwen frowned even deeper. In addition to transporting cars, he could not imagine any tools that could transport more than 800 people at one time, and also ensure that the marching speed of the special agent camp is not less than 30 kilometers per hour.
Zhou Cheng no longer had a puzzle with Chen Liwen, but directly expressed his thoughts!
"After the Spy Battalion is adapted to the Rapid Response Battalion, the Chief of Staff and Deputy Commander Tang will expand you to 900 people, and equip you with 1,000 war horses. The extra soldiers will form a breeding company to take care of 1,000 war horses!"
"A month later, everyone must be able to ride a horse in the newly established rapid response battalion. In case of failure, soldiers can only be transferred to other troops."
"In addition, your artillery company and heavy machine gun platoon must also carry out intensified training, carry heavy machine guns, artillery, and shells with war horses to ensure that these heavy weapons can keep up with the pace of infantry marching!"
"Hiss...so many war horses?" Chen Liwen took a breath and was startled by the big hand in the group.
But soon I became extremely excited.
As the only rapid response unit of the National Salvation Army, if any emergency situations occur in the defense zone in the future, it must be the first person to go to the battlefield.
This means that in the future, the rapid reaction camp will not only not have to worry about having no war to fight, but will also be worried about too many wars to fight!
Seeing Chen Liwen's expression constantly changing, but he didn't say anything, Zhou Cheng thought he wouldn't dare to accept this task, so he immediately asked: "Do you have the confidence to build a quick response camp within a month? Now I'll give me a sure letter! If you feel that you can't cause it, I will go directly to find other troops to replace the secret camp, and you will go to attack the Eighth Route Army base!"
"Don't!" Chen Liwen was afraid that the duck that he bit into his mouth would fly, so he quickly promised Zhou Cheng.
"I am confident that I can build a quick response battalion within one month to ensure that every soldier in the battalion can ride a horse. No, I guarantee that every soldier can ride a horse and run wildly!"
"Just be confident!" Zhou Cheng was very satisfied with Chen Liwen's answer and continued to order!
"You immediately give an order. The secret service camp will start tonight. The regiment headquarters will choose a new station for you. All the war horses are waiting for you at the new station. The next training will also be in the new station. I will personally test your training results in a month!"
In Liangjiapo, Yuanshi County, more than 700 national-savior troops advanced along the mountain road.
In order not to expose the target, the troops could not rush to marches all night. As they walked, one or two screams would come from the middle of the team.
At that time, the soldiers smeared the soldiers and tripped out after they were tripped.
Tan Fei was in the middle of the team again. Although he was in front and behind, he was still tripped several times for two consecutive nights.
After a quick look at the watch, Tan Fei immediately frowned and said to the first battalion leader with concern: "It will be dark in one hour. Logically, we have entered the Eighth Route Army Base in Yuanshi County, why hasn't the Eighth Route Army come to pick us up yet?"
"If we can't meet them before dawn, we can't do anything during the day today!"
God seemed to hear Tan Fei's words. Before the first battalion commander could speak, a few figures appeared in front of him and hurriedly ran towards them.
"Captain, the leader of the reconnaissance platoon Li is the reconnaissance platoon leader Li. The others seem to be wearing the Eighth Route Army uniforms. The reconnaissance platoon must have joined the Eighth Route Army!" After several figures approached, the first battalion commander's eyes lit up, and he said happily.
"Captain, we are joining the Eighth Route Army!" As soon as Platoon Leader Li of the Investigation Platoon saw Tan Fei, he pointed at the Eighth Route Army behind him to introduce.
"This is the instructor Tang of the Independent Battalion of the Eighth Route Army in Yuanshi County. He was ordered to come and pick us up!"
After platoon leader Li introduced the instructor Tang, he pointed at Tan Fei and continued to introduce: "Instructor Tang, this is our Captain Tan!"
"Hello Captain Tan, I am ordered to come to pick up your army, and unconditionally cooperate with your army to fight the Japanese in the following days. More than 300 soldiers of the Independent Battalion are ready and can participate in the war at any time. If Captain Tan has any orders, please issue them, don't be polite!"
Tan Fei breathed a sigh of relief. The Eighth Route Army was a local snake here. If you connect with them and help you as a guide, the troops will definitely not expose their targets in the next operation.
With this guarantee, the rest of the next actions will go much smoother.
Looking at Instructor Tang, he said with a happy look: "Thank you, Instructor Tang!"
"I do have one thing now that I need to trouble you!"
"In order to catch the Japanese off guard, we have been hiking day and night these two days to prevent anyone from finding our traces."
"If nothing unexpected happens, we will target a stronghold tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to launch an attack. We must not let the Japanese and puppet troops know our existence before the formal attack."
"So we need your help to hide our whereabouts in the past two days!"
"In addition, I also want your army to be our eyes and ears, stare at all the Japanese and puppet troops in the Yuan family, and provide me with a map of the deployment of the Japanese and puppet troops!"
The Independent Battalion has been active here for more than half a year and has long figured out the situation of the Japanese and puppet troops. Therefore, the several tasks Tan Fei gave him were easy to complete, but it is definitely not difficult.
Immediately answered: "Captain Tan, please rest assured. The deployment map of the Japanese and puppet troops in the Yuan family can be sent over at any time. I will take you to a secret camp to rest first. The troops will definitely not be exposed there!"
