Chapter 397 Killing the chicken to scare the monkey?
“As a soldier, you must obey military orders!”
“You know the consequences of disobeying orders in wartime.”
Tang Dao looked at the young sergeant with tears on his face, his face covered with frost.
"Yes! I know, as long as I don't take advantage of the big guy, I am willing to accept all military punishment!" Lu Sanjiang stood up with a stubborn neck.
The baggage soldiers and cavalry on the side were shocked.
They certainly knew the consequences of disobeying orders during wartime, especially what Tang Dao, the supreme commander, said.
As Gong Shaoxun was the highest commander of the cavalry present, all the cavalrymen naturally turned their attention to him for help, hoping that he would stand up and intercede for his comrades who had violated the order.
Sweat dropped from the cavalry major's forehead.
He had spent a day fighting with Tang Dao, but apart from knowing that Deputy Director Tang never adhered to rules when fighting, was full of cunning and decisive in killing, he knew basically nothing about his personality.
I don't know, this is the most terrible thing.
He couldn't tell whether Tang Dao was sincere or pretended to attack the elite cavalry who had violated the order.
Gong Shaoxun is already considered to be among the ranks of mid-level officers. Naturally, his perspective on problems will not be the same as that of his group of top soldiers.
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the military is no exception.
Except for the Sixing Battalion and the Garrison Battalion, which are the direct descendants of Deputy Director Tang, the rest of the advance team basically come from the troops directly under the military and division headquarters. The troops named as elite naturally have the arrogance of elite troops. How can they be so easy? An outsider like Fu Tang Dao?
It was okay to say that during the war, if everyone was not twisted into a rope, they would not be able to survive. Tang Dao's military orders were naturally unimpeded.
But what if there is no war?
This time Lu Sanjiang violated the order to guard the remains of the "big man". Isn't it because of this kind of psychological factor?
War horses are my comrades in the cavalry. Who dares to eat my comrades? Neither does the military order from the supreme commander.
As the supreme commander, will Tang Dao use the cavalry, the most elite and most powerful force in the army, to kill chickens and monkeys?
If this is the case, there is a chance that if he goes out to speak at this time, it will play into the hands of Deputy Director Tang, who is standing in the field as cold as ice.
After all, Lu Sanjiang is just a petty sergeant, and he is the cavalry major who has enough weight.
I have to say that this cavalry major is a talented person. He thought so much in a short moment, but he was able to see through some of the unspoken rules in the officialdom.
However, even if he can see and think clearly about some things, he still has to do them.
The Chinese soldiers present, in addition to the cavalry under his command, also had a group of heavy baggage soldiers.
The second lieutenant at the head of the baggage troop looked at the cavalry major with a look that was simply pleading, no less impressive than a group of cavalrymen.
Lu Sanjiang, the cavalryman, was a comrade-in-arms of the baggage soldiers fighting side by side. This sentiment was naturally there, but more importantly, the baggage soldiers did not want to offend the cavalry.
Cavalry is the most flexible unit among infantry. If the baggage soldiers are unfortunately killed, the cavalry may be the first to rescue them.
If the supreme commander ordered the disobeying cavalry sergeants to be executed on the spot because of this matter, the cavalry might not be able to do anything to the supreme commander, but there is nothing wrong with transferring their anger to the baggage soldiers. There is no need to disobey military orders, just go a little slower, there is nothing anyone can do about it.
So, from the bottom of their hearts, the baggage soldiers wanted to save this idiot cavalry no less than the cavalry.
Faced with his subordinates and a group of heavy soldiers who did not want to be angered, and more importantly, they did not want to lose the newly grown elite sergeants, the cavalry major had to bite the bullet and stand up even though he had figured out the key.
“Bang!” The cavalry major stood at attention and saluted.
"Sir, Lu Sanjiang made two achievements in the Battle of Songjiang. One was for luring the enemy deep, allowing our cavalry to annihilate the first Japanese cavalry squadron and beheading its major squadron leader; the other was for killing important Japanese officers during reconnaissance. One person, but because the Japanese invaders kept it secret, his military rank and official position are still unknown. I hope the commander will spare him this time for the sake of his continuous military exploits. "
"Oh? I heard what Camp Commander Gong meant, is there going to be a balance of merits and demerits?" Tang Dao looked at the cavalry major standing in front of him with no expression on his face. "Is it true that if his military exploits are not enough, you, Battalion Commander Gong, still want to use today's battle as an excuse? After all, the cavalry battalion made great sacrifices for the entire advance regiment today. How can I exchange this merit for a little sergeant?" Life, I think it's enough.”
"Reporting to the commander, Gong Shaoxun has no intention of being proud of his merits. I just ask the commander, for the sake of this **** Lu Sanjiang, who was also a good killer of bandits, allow him to abdicate his crime and make new achievements, even if he died in the battle against Japan. On the battlefield, it is better than dying under our own guns." After Tang Dao said this, the cavalry major's face was hot and sweaty, but he could only hold on to the end. "Oh? Really? What Battalion Commander Gong means is that if someone disobeys military orders in the future, as long as he was a good man, then I should let him serve the crime and go to the front line to fight against the Japanese invaders?" Tang Dao's mouth curled up slightly, with a sharp look in his eyes. Although it is not diminished, it is much deeper. "But with the current situation of our army, isn't that the front line?"
I think I was fooled.
At the glance of Tang Dao's deep eyes, the sweating cavalry major felt enlightened and figured it out.
Tang Dao was indeed what he thought. A small sergeant was not enough for him to kill chickens and monkeys. He, the major battalion commander of the cavalry battalion of the Special Agent Regiment directly under the military headquarters, was enough.
No wonder Deputy Director Tang just stood there with a stern face and did not give any orders! Daqing is just waiting for him, the cavalry battalion commander, to fall into the trap!
Perhaps even if he doesn't take the initiative, someone else will intercede for Lu Sanjiang. That **** Jubi will never die.
But the cavalry major who wanted to understand knew better that Tang Dao, who had already planned all this, was not worried that he would not jump out, even if he had already figured it out.
The reason is very simple. They are his soldiers. If he doesn't protect them, I'm afraid he won't have any friends to "play" with him in the future. This is almost Chi Guoguo's conspiracy.
No wonder the Japanese suffered defeat under his hands many times. In addition to his bravery and tenacity in battle, few people can match his scheming skills!
The cavalry major, who felt bitter in his heart, could only salute again: "I, Gong Shaoxun, would like to assure you, Commander Tang, on behalf of the cavalry battalion that the cavalry battalion will strictly enforce the prohibitions in the future and will not make similar mistakes like today. Also, Lu Sanjiang is a soldier of my cavalry battalion. He committed the serious crime of disobeying military orders because of the lax management of me, the battalion commander, Gong Shaoxun. I took all the blame for him and asked the commander to punish him. No matter what kind of punishment, I, Gong Shaoxun, will accept it and will never blame him. The heart of the chief.”
'Good guy! Knowing that he has been cheated, and calmly accepting that he is about to be the chicken, he still does not forget to use a heart-catching tactic. ' Looking at the way the group of cavalrymen were moved to tears by the action of their battalion commander taking responsibility for the soldiers, Tang Dao knew that this could be regarded as a small counterattack by the cavalry major in front of him in the hole he dug.
The old army is not like the Chinese soldiers of the future. The officers usually rely mainly on drinking the blood of the soldiers. It is normal to drive the soldiers to charge into the battle. However, it is rare for the soldiers to bear their own heads and future for the soldiers. The cavalrymen are moved and cry. Weird thing.
Of course, it is more to prove that he is smart enough and knows Tang Dao's thoughts. Just don't kill the chicken too hard, but don't really chop off the head.
This is a smart man!
A smile flashed in Tang Dao's eyes.
"Very good! A cavalry battalion commander took the initiative to accept punishment for the sake of his soldiers. This allowed me to see the spirit of the cavalry battalion officers and soldiers as one, and I was deeply touched! If our Chinese army has this kind of temperament, how can the Japanese pirates be eradicated? ?" Tang Dao nodded in approval.
"Forget it, since you, Battalion Commander Gong, are so aggressive in taking responsibility for your subordinates, I will make an exception! I will not enforce the military laws on the battlefield." Tang Dao glanced at Gong Shaoxun and turned his attention to the other soldiers who were standing straight. "However, if you can avoid the death penalty, you can't escape the life penalty!"
The faces of the soldiers who had just relaxed became tense again.
“Lü Sanjiang, twenty horse whips, are you convinced?”
“Submit!” Lu Sanjiang bowed his head obediently.
He is not stupid. The battalion commander has worked so hard to plead for him. If he is still stubborn, he is really sorry.
“You're a big man.” Lu Sanjiang, who expressed his admiration, still couldn't let go of his dead horse.
Tang Dao seemed to have heard nothing and turned to look at Gong Shaoxun, "As a direct commander, you failed to manage your soldiers well. Can you, Commander Gong, obey the ten-horse whip?"
“Get dressed!” Gong Shaoxun immediately unbuckled his belt and took off his military uniform, revealing his muscular upper body.
He had given up on his mental arithmetic at this moment. Deputy Director Tang killed the chicken in a measured manner. Although the twenty horse whip and the ten horse whip were harsh enough, they would not kill anyone, and they would not be too injured to participate in the battle.
However, the shrewd cavalry major misjudged Tang Dao after all.
Tang Dao wanted to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, and rectify military discipline before another war, so that his military orders could be enforced in this temporarily formed army.
However, the rank of cavalry major is not enough.
