Rise From Eight Hundred Chapter 654

Chapter 654: Earn military merit!

Although they were only eating potatoes, every officer present had a smile on their face, as if they were eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea.

Wait until everyone has their bellies filled.

“Sir, do you think we are going to mess with the Japanese again tonight?” Lao Hei asked proactively.

As a guard platoon leader, two of his guard squads went on a mission together with the special operations team last night. It was impossible to count how many Japanese were killed, but under the light of the flares, it was clear that a Japanese infantry gun was blown up. .

In other words, the battle achievements must be recorded on the heads of the big guys, and the rewards would not be much if divided equally. Lao Hei especially hopes to do it again.

“What's wrong, Lao Hei, you think your guard platoon's combat merit is not enough, and you want to get some more for your brothers?” Lao Hei, who had a strong desire to fight, Lei Xiong, replied angrily.

They are all old brothers who came from the 524th Regiment. Who doesn't know who the other is? Ever since Tang Dao clearly demonstrated his military exploits to the "Dayang" the day before yesterday, a group of officers have been very active in sneak attacks on the Japanese.

Do you think the commanders of these four main infantry companies come to the battalion headquarters to have a meal? They were all here to win military exploits. Even though the roads were freezing and rough at night, it was the same for the Japanese. The safety was much higher than during the day, and there were special operations teams and local guides responsible for reconnaissance. Leading a team, his military exploits are like picking them up for free.

“Hey, brothers are out fighting and working hard, who doesn't want to send more money back home.” Lao Hei did not hide his true intention.

People are profit-oriented creatures. They can survive for a while only by relying on ideals and beliefs, but they cannot survive for a lifetime.

Tang Dao understands human nature very well, especially in this era. These soldiers and low-level officers, who are basically from hard-working backgrounds, have not read many books, and they do not have too specific concepts of country and nation in their minds.

Just using the principle of defending the home and country every day to persuade them to fight on the battlefield may be somewhat effective when the war is urgent, but if the war slows down a little, if I use this term, I am afraid that their desire to fight will be much weaker. .

To talk about this aspect, the army must be powerful. When new recruits join the army, they must first undergo a long period of ideological education to understand why they are fighting and strengthen their beliefs.

But now that they are constantly fighting, Tang Dao not only has no one under his command, but also has no time to do publicity and education work on such a firm fighting concept.

Tang Dao can only add material rewards on the basis of patriotic education, issue certificates of merit to meritorious officers and soldiers and combat troops based on their military exploits, and issue large-scale rewards based on their levels.

The reason why he dared to issue the Dayang reward was the ten large yellow croakers given by General Gu before he left. According to the current prices, those ten large yellow croakers alone can be exchanged for about 14,000 cash Dayang.

In other words, as long as the entire army is not wiped out, even if they die in battle, the officers and soldiers don't have to worry about Battalion Commander Tang not being able to fulfill the rewards he promised.

Furthermore, Camp Commander Tang's background is no secret now. His family is a wine maker. Not to mention his wealth, it is not a problem to spend ten or twenty thousand dollars.

What's more, there is also a reporter from Taiwan University!

There is a story circulating in the Independence Camp: The father of a big reporter from Tantai originally heard that his precious daughter had fallen in love with a young military officer. Regardless of the risk, he rode three thousand miles alone to bring his daughter home.

As a result, when he met the commander of the Tang Dynasty Battalion, he was impressed by his young and promising demeanor. He refused to take his daughter home and promised to sponsor military expenses for the independent battalion on the spot.

I don't know the exact amount, but wouldn't it be easy to give tens of thousands of dollars to a Jiangnan tycoon?

There is gold in the battalion headquarters, plus the legend of the son of a wealthy local and the son-in-law of a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, making the officers and soldiers full of confidence.

The desire to fight the Japanese and earn military honors in exchange for money is very strong.

Of course, all these prerequisites are based on the fact that under the command of Tang Dao, his men will face the Japanese army, and at worst they will not let the Japanese army take advantage.

Without this, even if Tang Dao came up with tricks, there would not be such a grand situation where everyone wanted to fight the Japanese army.

Seeing Lei Xiong speak, Guo Shouzhi, who was usually a man of few words, turned his attention to Pang Dahai, or to be precise, Pang Dahai's purse, with an expressionless expression on his face: "I heard that Captain Pang has been living a very happy life these past two days. Just thinking about the consumption of artillery shells makes our Chief of Staff Zhuang unable to sleep well these days!"

Because the Japanese army expanded the reconnaissance distance into the mountains on both sides of the road to 800 meters, it was unrealistic to rely on guns in the hands of the infantry. Pang Dahai, the artillery company commander in charge of a dozen mortars, became a favorite.

The infantrymen were mostly escorts, while the artillerymen were there to attack the main force of the Japanese army. After the attack, they all ran away together, and the military merits were definitely divided. Who doesn't want to do this job? The infantrymen are all rushing to do it!

Of course, Pang Panghai, the artillery company commander, had the right to make suggestions. If he felt that the infantry company was trustworthy, he would entrust his artillery squad to someone to protect him against the Japanese.

Li Jijin and other infantry company commanders who were familiar with him often ran to him.

His pockets were bulging, and he estimated that the cigarettes he received were from both young and old.

"Chief Guo, Commander Zhuang, you have died unjustly. But according to the ration prescribed by the battalion headquarters, I didn't fire even one more shell!" Pang Dahai shouted. "Sincerely, I count on my fingers every time, if that class dares to hit them one more time, I will beat them to death."

"Okay, okay, you old Pang, don't play Dou E's injustice in front of the brothers. I usually have to smoke a few cigarettes at night if I can't sleep. Now that I have no cigarettes, you can do whatever you want." Master Zhuang pretended to be casual. rummaging through pockets.

Empty, not even a shred of tobacco.

"As the saying goes, a cigarette after a meal is better than a living god!" Tang Daoye swept Dahai's wallet with a smile and sighed with a smile.

“Why don't I smoke?” Fatty Dahai took out a pack of cigarettes with his big face trembling and full of pain, and took the initiative to disperse it for his colleagues around the campfire.

I can't blame Pang Dahai, his flesh is shaking with pain. There are nearly ten people beside the bonfire, but half a pack of cigarettes is gone. In terms of losses, I'm afraid this person has suffered the most today.

Li Jiujin, who was holding a cigarette, laughed so hard that his mouth almost split open. He was completely unaware of Pang Dahai's resentful look at him.

Let this guy 'blackmail' me for three cigarettes, and today I asked him to spit them all out, no, I even put up several more cigarettes.

Several officers laughed happily.

Honestly, the person who attacked the local tyrants today was not Battalion Commander Tang, but the artillery company commander who had been the most popular in the past two days!

“Come on, you Pang Dahai, don't feel sorry for me. The battalion commander said that new equipment will be added to your artillery battery tonight.” Lei Xiong smoked a cigarette beautifully and curled his lips at the stingy Pang Dahai.

“Really?” As soon as Pang Dahai heard that he had equipment, the fat on his face stopped shaking, and his eyes were eager to shine.

“I'll tell you about the equipment of your artillery company later. First, let me tell you how to fight the Japanese tonight.” Tang Dao chuckled.

Gu Xishui and Lao Hei looked at each other, excitement rising on their faces.

If we want to continue sneak attacks at night, they must still be the main ones. The special operations team and the security platoon had a full day's sleep during the day, and were waiting to steal again at night to earn a little money.

"Sir, the brothers in the special operations team and the guard platoon didn't sleep last night. Their eyes are all red. It makes me feel bad to see them! Otherwise..." Li Jijin said first, and then glanced at the money. Big pillar.

"Yes! The special operations team and the guard platoon are elite, but we can't let the brothers not rest!" Qian Dazhu could only agree with the big brother.

There is no way. There are four infantry company commanders. Leng Feng is the cold boss, and Zhao Daqiang turns out to be the guard platoon leader. Neither of them can speak properly. Only Li Jijin takes the lead, and he, the youngest company commander, lends his voice.

Obviously, what these infantry company commanders mean is that all four of our infantry companies can work for the benefit of the soldiers of their own infantry companies.

Minato is shameless! I've obviously been sleeping all day, okay? Gu Xishui and Lao Hei looked at each other, wanting to sneeze at this old ruffian Li Jijin.

It's a pity that both of them are second lieutenants, but they can't be compared with company commanders like Li Jijin, not to mention that there is a company commander like Leng Feng Leng over there!

Although he just sits by the campfire and smokes silently, with a cold and melancholy temperament, the title of the third warrior of the Independent Battalion is not given in vain. Even if they have grown from soldiers to officers, they dare not refute him. face.

"What are you trying to grab! You guys really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, but you really think that our artillery shells are rich!" Tang Dao glanced at the infantry company commanders who were full of fighting spirit.

“This” Li Jiujin obviously didn't react.

It seems that the commander of the Tang Dynasty just said how to fight the Japanese.
