The war of resistance against mountains is heavy

Chapter 2391: Little Dustpan Explains

"Captain Zhang, do you think they can take down the monkey pack today?" Hu Sheng, who was hiding in the woods, asked Xiao Boji.

When Hu Sheng asked this, everyone else looked over.

The other people include people from Xiaoboji Company and Shang Zhen's company. As for Shang Zhen, he is not here. Today Shang Zhen still has to play the role of a sharpshooter. He is lurking alone in a certain location. Fortunately, the "they" mentioned by Hu Sheng, that is, the people from the 223rd Regiment, continued to fire cold shots at the Japanese army while attacking Houersai.

"Who knows? Anyway, we have helped them in every way we can." Xiao Boji replied casually.

Hu Sheng was silent. Yes, they had helped Zhu Weiyan and his men in all the ways they should. As for whether Zhu Weiyan’s camp could take down Houersai, that depended on themselves. Could they still count on Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji to take over?

Yesterday, Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji's "supervision team" achieved quite good results. Shang Zhen shot and killed about a dozen Japanese soldiers with cold shots, Xiao Boji led his men to shoot from a distance, and Xiao Boji led his men in a surprise attack to "eliminate" four Japanese grenade launchers, killing about fourteen or fifteen Japanese who came down the mountain, and also snatched back fifteen grenades.

Of course, this is just a rough statistic, and just one of the achievements made by the "Supervision Team" on the front line yesterday.

What is more important is that, whether it was during the day or at night yesterday, Shang Zhen and his men once again harassed the Japanese troops on the mountain, thereby determining several Japanese firepower points and the positions on the mountain where most of the Japanese troops were shooting at those below.

This is all Shang Zhen Xiaoboji can do. Today, Zhu Weiyan’s Battalion of the 223rd Regiment must attack the mountain.

In fact, both Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji knew that their leader Zhou Jingyong had personally visited the front line yesterday afternoon.

But at that time, firstly, they didn’t have time to come back and report to Zhou Jingyong, and secondly, they didn’t know what to say when they came back.

The commander asked you to be the supervisors, but you went straight to the front line and left the attacking troops behind. So in the future, will the commander just let you take the lead in the mission?
Hu Sheng secretly glanced at Xiao Boji's cynical expression, and after a while he asked again: "Captain Zhang, I heard from the captain that you have been with us all the time."

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Xiao Boji asked back, his expression a little lazy, he hadn't slept the whole night, and wanted to take a nap before Zhu Weiyan's camp attacked, but he didn't expect Hu Sheng to be so talkative.

"I also heard from the company commander that you have a group of old men who are very good at fighting, hehe." Hu Sheng said again.

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Xiao Boji responded casually, but then he looked at Hu Sheng and raised his voice, "What do you want to say by asking so many questions? If you have something to say, just say it. Don't play tricks on me!"

"Hehe." Hu Sheng laughed again.

The company commanders of the two companies are sworn brothers, so the relationship between the people in the two companies is naturally the best.

But precisely because of their good relationship, Husheng also knew that Xiao Boji was very good at scolding people. When he saw Xiao Boji getting angry, how could he not feel uneasy?

So, he looked at Xiao Boji's face and said quickly, "I just want to ask Captain Zhang, how do we fight now compared to you old soldiers?"

No one expected that Hu Sheng would ask this. When he asked this, not only the people in his group, but also the soldiers of the Xiaoboji Company showed concerned looks.

Of course, Hu Sheng had his own reasons for asking this question.

You see, there were only a dozen of us who took the initiative to move forward, ambushed those Japanese soldiers using grenade launchers, and even engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Japanese soldiers. That was a pretty good performance. Subconsciously, these new recruits all wanted to get praise from an officer like Xiao Boji.

During these days of getting along, Husheng listened to Shang Zhen and Xiao Boji talking a lot about their former veterans.

But Husheng finished asking the question, and Xiao Boji seemed not to have heard it. He still looked sleepy. He kicked a soldier who was sitting on a long bluestone and said, "Get lost. I'm going to take a nap!" No one expected that Husheng asked a topic that everyone was interested in, but Xiao Boji would react like this.

But what can be done with such a reaction? After all, Xiao Boji is the company commander. If the other party refuses to say, which soldier can continue to ask? Now everyone knows that Xiao Boji is not like his sworn brother who has a good temper.

The soldiers looked at each other and could only stand there and watch.

But after Xiao Boji lay on the long stone with his arms as a pillow and yawned again, he said, "You are nothing compared to our original group of brothers. If we must compare, they account for seven and you account for three."

No one expected Xiao Boji to say such a thing. What he meant was that now Hu Sheng and his men could only catch up with a small half of Xiao Boji's original group of Northeast veterans. Two plus three equals six, and they account for seven. However, Hu Sheng and his men are less than half of them!
"What? You're not convinced?" Little dustpan yawned again and said, "You just say that what you have now is just a young man!
As for not being afraid of death, can you be as fearless as they are?
In terms of the ability to fight the Japanese, have you ever fought in a positional war? Have you ever fought in a hand-to-hand combat? Can you survive when facing a group of Japanese? You can be ruthless when you need to be ruthless and you can be slippery when you need to be slippery. Which of these do you think you have achieved? "

Xiao Boji's words left Hu Sheng and the others speechless. Even though they longed for Xiao Boji's praise, they had to admit that what Xiao Boji said made sense.

"You are no match for our group of old people. If you must compare, you can compare with the group of people who are playing with throwing stones under my command." Xiao Boji said again with his eyes closed.

What do you mean by "these guys under Xiao Boji"? They are simply the soldiers in the 226th Regiment under Xiao Boji.

No one likes to be criticized for being incompetent.

After Xiao Boji said this, the soldiers under his command became somewhat unhappy.

Company commander, just tell the new recruits what to do with them, why are you taking us along?

"How do we compare with them?" asked Lao Gu.

The person who is most qualified to ask Xiao Boji questions would only be Lao Gu.

You know, when Xiao Boji first came to this company as the company commander, their company was full of old soldiers, each one more slippery than the other, but Lao Gu was brave in combat, and Xiao Boji always took Lao Gu with him whenever there was something.

"It's a 50-50 match. You are braver than the people in our company, but you still need to practice your skills. You are still far behind my people. Okay, stop bothering me. I really need to get some sleep." Xiao Boji said, and then he closed his eyes and started snoring!
Old Gu couldn't ask any more questions. Even though he was extremely unwilling in his heart and felt that he was much better than the new recruits under Shang Zhen, he had to admit that, except for him, the old soldiers in their company were indeed afraid of death, and they had only become braver under Xiao Boji's training in recent times.

No one expected that Hu Sheng would ask Xiao Boji about the fighting ability of his men, but Xiao Boji changed the topic to his own soldiers. The soldiers who followed him now were considered capable fighters in their company.

But now Xiao Boji was asleep, and they couldn't argue with him, so they could only hold their anger in.

All the soldiers present didn't know that Xiao Boji looked extremely sleepy and didn't want to pay attention to them, but in fact when Hu Sheng asked him questions, Xiao Boji was thinking about how he should answer.

A little praise didn't dampen morale, but if you don't prick them, how will they recognize their own shortcomings?

No matter whether what Xiao Boji said was right or wrong, although he looked casual, he actually said it with all his heart.

Xiao Boji is not small anymore, and now he is a company commander. It is impossible for him to be like he was when he served under Shang Zhen, or to point out the shortcomings of the soldiers like Wang Laomao did.

There is a term in later generations called "keep pace with the times". The situation outside has changed, and the soldiers under his command have also changed. So as a junior officer, he must also change with these changes.

Little Boji, after all, is no longer the little guy in the forest team at the beginning.
