Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 146 Promoted again!

Li Guotao stood up and asked, "Meeting? What's going on?"

Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "I don't know the details either. You will know when you go there, right?"

"All right!"

Li Guotao stretched his muscles and then followed Zhang Xiaoshan to the company headquarters.

Li Guotao found a random seat and sat down.

Wu Qianli glanced at everyone and said, "Now that everyone is here, let's get started!"

Li Guotao frowned slightly because he noticed that one person was missing.

How can we say that everyone is here since the deputy company commander of the seventh company, He Changgui, did not come?

Maybe he has gone out on a mission!

Li Guotao thought so and didn't ask any more questions.

Wu Qianli continued, "I'm sure everyone knows that we have received orders to rest on the spot and wait for replenishment. There should be no combat missions in the short term."

"Is there any time to rest? Everyone can take this opportunity to have a good rest."

"Our army has achieved fruitful results in this battle, and everyone has worked hard."

"Everyone has performed very bravely in this battle. The regiment has reported your achievements truthfully. It will probably not be long before everyone will be commended for their achievements."

"Also, according to the instructions of the regiment, I have officially assumed the post of commander of the third battalion, but I am still concurrently serving as commander of the seventh company."

"Instructor Mei Sheng has also been promoted to the instructor of the Third Battalion. Like me, he will also serve as the instructor of our Seventh Company for the time being."

"We will make adjustments after the reinforcements arrive."

Wu Qianli was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, this arrangement is because both of us are reluctant to leave the Seventh Company."

"I want to stay in the Seventh Company for a few more days."

Yu Congrong said: "No matter what time it is, you will always be the commander of our Seventh Company."

Wu Qianli waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop talking about these useless things."

At this time, Pinghe asked, "Company Commander, how is Battalion Commander Tan now?"

Wu Qianli said: "Don't worry, the battalion commander's condition has basically stabilized and he has passed the critical period."

"However, his injuries are too severe and his body is weak. The conditions on the front line are limited. Given his current condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to recover in a short time."

"So the superiors have arranged to send the battalion commander back to China to recuperate. The battalion commander was reluctant to leave the front line and disagreed at first, but the division commander personally ordered him to return home. I guess he should go back in the next two days!"

Yu Congrong smiled and said, "I understand. When the battalion commander comes back, you have to give up your position as battalion commander. So you are now occupying the position of company commander of the seventh company, just waiting for the battalion commander to come back."

Wu Qianli sighed helplessly and said, "If that were the case, I could still stay in the Seventh Company. However, the regiment commander said that after the battalion commander comes back, he will not return to the Third Battalion. The regiment headquarters has already reserved a position for the battalion commander."

It is obvious that Battalion Commander Tan is going to be promoted.

Li Guotao was also very relieved to hear this. No matter what, Tan Ziwei's life was saved, and he would probably be back to the front line soon. After all, the war had just begun.

There will always be a chance to see you again in the future.

At this time, Mei Sheng said, "There is one more thing. You may have noticed that Changgui is not here."

"He didn't go out on any mission, but went to the Ninth Company. The regiment commander has approved Comrade He Changgui's transfer to the position of commander of the Ninth Company."

"As a result, the position of deputy company commander will be vacant."

"We studied it and decided to let the platoon leader Yu Congrong serve as the deputy company commander."

Yu Congrong quickly said: "I~! This is not good!" At this moment, everyone present also understood.

Wu Qianli and Mei Sheng have both been promoted, and their part-time jobs in the Seventh Company will be cancelled sooner or later.

At that time, Yu Congrong, the deputy company commander, could naturally take over the position of company commander.

Yu Congrong certainly understood this truth, so he was a little overwhelmed for a moment. After all, the higher the position, the greater the responsibility. Yu Congrong was not afraid of fighting in battles, but commanding a company was a heavy burden. When he suddenly heard the news, Yu Congrong couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Well~! I think it is most appropriate for our Lei Dad to be the deputy company commander. Otherwise, why not just be the company commander? If Lei Dad is the company commander, then I can still be the deputy company commander with some difficulty."

Lei Gong, who was smoking in a corner, glanced at Yu Congrong and angrily scolded him, "Look at your cowardly look. You are really embarrassing me and our Seventh Company."

"Hehe~!"

When Yu Congrong was scolded, he just smiled and didn't dare to talk back.

Wu Qianli explained with a smile: "Originally, we wanted Lei Gong to be the company commander, but Lei Gong himself didn't want to."

Lei Gong continued, "I am old, and I can't be a company commander anymore. It's good enough for me to be a platoon leader."

"At my age, even if I survive the battlefield by chance, I probably won't be able to stay for more than a few years before I have to retire."

"This opportunity should be left to you young people!"

Wu Qianli sighed and said, "My instructor and I have tried to persuade Lei Gong, but it was useless! So we can only respect Lei Gong's wishes."

"This old guy is a donkey, and his temper is too stubborn."

Lei Gong glared at Wu Qianli and angrily scolded him, "Little rabbit, you think that just because you are the battalion commander, I won't dare to beat you, right?"

"Hehe~!"

Wu Qianli chuckled and said, "No matter what time it is, you are my leader. After all, you are Lei Daddy."

"If you want to hit me, I promise not to fight back. I'm just afraid that your old arms and legs might hurt yourself again."

Lei Gong waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and get back to business."

"Yes!"

Wu Qianli responded, and then said to Yu Congrong: "You take the position first! I believe that with your ability, you are fully capable of doing it."

"Besides, don't we still have Father Lei here? With him helping you, what do you have to worry about?"

Yu Congrong nodded.

Mei Sheng went on to say, "You! Be more stable in the future and stop making so much noise all the time, especially when the reinforcements arrive in a while. You have to be careful about the impact on so many new recruits."

Yu Congrong asked: "When will the reinforcements arrive? They won't give us a new batch of recruits, will they?"

Wu Qianli replied: "It's not clear yet, but they are probably not new recruits. They seem to be soldiers drawn from other troops."

"We don't know for now, but everything will be clear when we get here."

"Yu Congrong is now the deputy company commander, and the deputy platoon leader Li Guotao is the platoon leader."

This is another promotion.

Li Guotao smiled bitterly and said, "Captain, am I being promoted too quickly?"

Wu Qianli said casually: "Is it fast? It's only natural for the deputy platoon leader to be promoted to platoon leader."

Li Guotao said: "But I haven't been the deputy platoon leader for many days."

Wu Qianli nodded and said, "That's indeed a bit fast, but I think with your ability, you can do it."
