Chapter 48 You Will Be the Battalion Commander
I'm sorry to bother you, brothers. I have no choice but to help you, brothers! I'm not willing to owe you a little.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When the soldiers saw this scene, they were all shocked. They thought to themselves that even a battalion officer was punished by military law for escaping. If I escaped, would I be punished lightly?
Wei Jichen also felt sad. It is said that military law is ruthless. Today, he finally saw it. Ye Liuyun didn't even dare to resist, so he was dragged down and shot.
Wei Jichen didn't hate Ye Liuyun, but just felt a little disgusted. He was shot, and Wei Jichen didn't know what he felt. The person who dared to laugh at me yesterday became a dead soul under the gun today.
Is this the cruelty of war?
It won't leave anyone any chance to regret and start over.
At this time, more than a hundred soldiers of the Luyu Defense Army who came to support rushed to the rescue, awakening the silent people.
Hu Dianjia quickly commanded these soldiers to enter the battle position, and the precarious battle line finally stabilized.
Nie Shicheng and others breathed a sigh of relief, and Wei Jichen got the opportunity to greet them.
"General Nie!" Wei Jichen saw Nie Shicheng wanted to stand up, and hurried forward to help him up.
Nie Cairong had seen Wei Jichen a long time ago, but she was in a heavy mood at the time and had no intention of greeting Wei Jichen.
Seeing Wei Jichen coming forward to help her grandfather up, she couldn't help but throw a grateful look at him.
"Zijie, you also came to support, how is your side?" Nie Shicheng asked softly.
Wei Jichen said confidently: "Marshal Nie, please rest assured. Not only the Japanese's feint attack direction, but even their main attack direction, my position can be defended."
"Well," Nie Shicheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, along the way, only your defense line is the most solid, the trenches are crisscrossed, and the soldiers run freely. Even I have to admire it."
Wei Jichen smiled embarrassedly and said, "Marshal Nie is too flattering."
At this time, Hu Dianjia hurried back after arranging the supporting soldiers.
"Marshal Nie, I have to go back to command the Yongzi Camp." Hu Dianjia hesitated for a while and finally spoke.
In his opinion, the defensive position of the Ming Army is naturally not as important as his own.
Nie Shicheng was stunned. The situation was tense before, but he didn't think of it now. Now that the situation has eased a little, the problem has come out. What if the Japanese change the main attack direction to the Luyu Army, and Hu Dianjia is here, then he can't take care of both ends.
And Ye Liuyun had just been killed by him, and Liu Shengxiu probably hadn't received the news yet. It would be better for him to appoint a battalion officer now than to wait for him to get the news and reappoint a battalion officer.
For a moment, Nie Shicheng had countless thoughts in his mind, and of course he picked out the ones that were beneficial to him.
Ye Liuyun was afraid of the enemy and fled, and he deserved to be killed. Even if Liu Shengxiu knew about it, he would have nothing to say. In this case, what else should he worry about.
He had no psychological burden for the reorganization of the Ming Army, because his Gongzi Ten Battalions were actually derived from the Ming Army, and then he recruited several battalions.
Thinking of this, Nie Shicheng nodded slightly to Hu Dianjia, waved his hand and said, "You go back first."
Hu Dianjia received the order and stopped staying. He clasped his fists around him and left in a hurry with a few personal soldiers.
He really came and went in a hurry.
"Zijie, what do you think?" Nie Shicheng suddenly said something inexplicable.
Feng Guozhang, who was standing next to him, had a gleam in his eyes. Based on his understanding of Nie Shicheng, he estimated that this Marshal Nie would hand over the troops of this battalion to this confused sentry officer.
"Idea?" Wei Jichen asked back in confusion, and then saw Nie Cairong winking at him.
Wei Jichen secretly followed her gaze and saw the defensive position.
Recalling the previous resignation of Hu Dianjia, Wei Jichen suddenly understood, suppressed the surprise in his heart, and then said calmly: "I think the Japanese will not give up the opportunity to continue the attack. The crisis has not passed yet, and the deployment should be adjusted as soon as possible."
"The general is the soul of a battalion. Ye Liuyun was investigated for dereliction of duty, and the soldiers were panicked. We need a wise and brave person to take over. Zijie, are you willing to serve as the battalion commander of this battalion?" Nie Shicheng said no more and asked directly.
"I will definitely live up to Marshal Nie's trust. I am confident that I can train the battalion into an elite force in my Luyu Army." Wei Jichen replied solemnly.
How could he not be willing? Although Nie Shicheng had already said that he would be promoted to battalion officer when new soldiers came, how could new soldiers compare with old soldiers? Their combat effectiveness would definitely be greatly reduced.
Taking over the Yingming Army, Wei Jichen was confident that he could win the hearts of the soldiers in a short time.
In fact, it is easy to win the hearts of the soldiers.
There are only two points: one is to lead them to a great victory, and the other is to lead by example.
Nie Shicheng nodded slightly when he heard Wei Jichen's answer, with a smile on his face, and said: "Well, your original sentry and the soldiers who came to support today will all be included in the new camp."
This time, Wei Jichen really felt Nie Shicheng's love for him.
After two days of fighting yesterday and today, Ye Liuyun's battalion had been reduced to more than 300 people. Now it was suddenly merged with Wei Jichen's outpost and the more than 100 people who came to support them.
The new camp was full in no time. There were actually more than 500 people there. How could Wei Jichen be unhappy?
He bowed to Nie Shicheng seriously and said solemnly: "Nie Shuai's love and care will be repaid by Zijie with fists and fists."
Nie Shicheng raised his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, you go down and command the battle. From now on, this battalion will be called Wei Ziying."
Wei Jichen thanked him and left slowly.
After Wei Jichen walked away, Feng Guozhang said to Nie Shicheng: "Nie Shuai, are you too anxious? Young people, you still need to polish yourself, otherwise you will be in a high position at a young age and you will easily lose yourself."
Nie Shicheng shook his head and said: "Hua Fu, don't say that Zijie is young, but when you look at his work, he is calm and extraordinary. Take just now, if an ordinary young man hears that I want to promote him to be a battalion officer, he will probably The surprise will definitely be palpable.”
After a pause, Nie Shicheng pointed in the direction Wei Jichen left and continued: "But this young man is worried before he is happy. He first considers the current predicament, and then becomes a little bit surprised."
Feng Guozhang thought about Wei Jichen's performance just now and couldn't help but admired: "Nie Shuai still has dazzling eyes."
Nie Shicheng smiled faintly and said as if he had seen through Feng Guozhang: "Hua Fu, you are just a fan of the authorities. Don't worry, I will let you lead the army, but now I can't do without you."
Feng Guozhang's body trembled slightly. That general didn't want him to lead the troops? Naturally, he didn't want to be Nie Shicheng's staff for the rest of his life. Just now, a touch of jealousy could not help but emerge in his heart.
"Hua Fu made Nie Shuai laugh." Feng Guozhang immediately adjusted his mood and said with a self-deprecating smile.
When this scene fell into Nie Cairong's eyes, the little girl couldn't help but secretly despise her in her heart: "Wei Jichen is a battalion officer made with real guns and swords. How can you, the dog-headed military advisor who just talks and talks, want to reach the sky in one step?"
I don't know since when, this little girl's heart began to slowly turn towards Wei Jichen.
After Wei Jichen went down, he was not in a hurry to rearrange the defense line. Hu Dianjia had done a good enough job just now, and he did not need to cause trouble again.
Taking advantage of the moment when one Japanese brigade retreated and the other brigade had not yet attacked.
Wei Jichen hurriedly delivered his acceptance speech.
"Everyone, maybe you have got the news, maybe you don't know yet, but in any case, I, Wei Jichen, will be your battalion officer from today on."
After Wei Jichen finished speaking, he looked around at the soldiers with different expressions.
"Wei Jichen, is he Wei Zijie who withstood several Japanese attacks and shot the Japanese major?"
"Yes, it's him. I met him from a distance not long ago."
"It's good now. I heard that Wei Jichen is very good at defending, and we have a few more chances to save our lives."
The soldiers began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
Generally speaking, Wei Jichen's arrival is more welcome.
It seems that Ye Liuyun's character was really not that good in the past. He died not long ago and his subordinates seem to have forgotten him. I can't follow in his footsteps in the future, Wei Jichen thought to himself.
When everyone's discussion calmed down slightly, Wei Jichen continued: "I believe everyone knows why my predecessor Ye Liuyun died. He brought it upon himself and deserved it. He left most of you behind and ran away. All the agencies were exhausted. In the end, But he took his own life.”
In the spirit of utilizing waste, Wei Jichen took out the recently deceased Ye Liuyun and whipped his corpse again, making the sergeants despise Ye Liuyun's character first, and then better accept him as the new battalion officer.
"Everyone, everyone who knows me, Wei Jichen, knows that I, Wei Jichen, would never do anything like giving birth to a son without a butt or eyes. I, Wei Jichen, only have one life, and even if I die, I will not shrink away and die in obscurity. It's a shameful death. Even if I die, I, Wei Jichen, will die vigorously and in a way that makes people fear and admire me." Wei Jichen spoke faster and more excitedly.
"Brothers, are you willing to follow me, Wei Jichen, to kill the enemy and make the Japanese tremble with fear, or are you like Ye Liuyun and die a shameful death?" Wei Jichen raised his voice and shouted loudly.
"We are willing to follow Wei Ying to kill the enemy!" Everyone was aroused and shouted in unison.
When Nie Shicheng heard the shocking shouts and saw Wei Jichen's performance, he couldn't help but stroke his beard gently and felt completely relieved.
Lead the soldiers and leave slowly.
When Feng Guozhang saw this momentum, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he secretly admired it. In just a few minutes, Wei Jichen could make the sergeant whose morale had plummeted immediately change his mind. It should not be underestimated.
"Okay, brothers, from now on, we will eat meat from the same pot and drink water from the same bucket. If I, Wei Jichen, are a little bit harsh, feel free to despise me. If anyone finds out that someone is embezzling military pay, just ask me, Wei Jichen, to solve the problem. ”
Among the Huai Army, it was a common phenomenon for officers to withhold and corrupt the pay of sergeants. Wei Jichen's words made the sergeants even more grateful.
Seeing a group of Japanese troops roaring and starting to attack again, Wei Jichen entered the army system.
He took a look at Wei Ziying's morale.
Wei Ziying:
Number of people: 525.
Morale: 60100.
Wei Jichen did not hesitate at all. He immediately spent 50 points of prestige and used the military strategist skill to boost morale, raising the morale of the Wei camp from 60 to 70.
"Brothers, follow me, Wei Jichen, to kill the enemy!" Wei Jichen roared.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
The morale of the Wei camp was greatly different from before. There was a hint of murderous intent in the words they shouted.
The Japanese who were attacking could not help but change their color when they heard the voice. How could the Chinese who were like sick cats just now change their appearance in such a short time?
