Zhu Tian: Beginning to Cross the Changjin Lake

Chapter 157 Promoted three levels in a row and promoted to company commander!
"Are you going to the front line?"

"Did your superiors give the order?"

Everyone became excited when they heard this.

Zhang Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. You'll find out when you go there."

Li Guotao asked: "Just let the two of us go?"

"Correct!"

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

Yu Congrong said, "Let's go, we'll know when we get there."

Li Guotao and Yu Congrong hurried to the battalion headquarters.

As soon as he saw Wu Qianli, Yu Congrong couldn't wait to ask, "Captain, you said there was an emergency. Are you going to the front line?"

Wu Qianli glanced at Yu Congrong, nodded and said, "Yes!"

Yu Congrong's eyes lit up with excitement, and he said with a smile, "Great, then when shall we set off?"

Wu Qianli said: "The exact time is still uncertain, but we have received a notice. It will probably be within the next two days! Our superiors have ordered us to prepare in advance and go to the front line at any time."

Yu Congrong said excitedly: "That's great, I finally don't have to stay here any longer. I've been feeling suffocated for a while."

When Li Guotao heard this, he was not happy because it probably meant that the war on the front line was not going well.

Li Guotao only knew a general idea of ​​history, and not the specific details, so he didn't know how critical the situation on the front line had become.

Wu Qianli looked at the silent Li Guotao and couldn't help asking, "Li Guotao, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah~?"

Li Guotao suddenly came to his senses and said with a smile: "Nothing? I was just thinking that our reinforcements are still too few. Now our Seventh Company has only 70 people at most."

Mei Sheng said: "The superiors have informed us that we will add more soldiers in the next two days. When they arrive, we will immediately distribute them to the various units. We should be able to add more soldiers by then."

"That's good!"

Li Guotao nodded slightly.

Wu Qianli continued, "We are about to go to the front line and fight again."

"We have already consulted with the regiment commander. The instructor and I will no longer serve as the commander and instructor of the Seventh Company."

Li Guotao was not too surprised by this and said, "So, our Seventh Company still needs a new instructor."

Because Yu Congrong had almost been chosen to take over the position of company commander, they were still short of an instructor.

Mei Sheng shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong this time. It has been confirmed that Comrade Yu Congrong will serve as the instructor of the Seventh Company."

Li Guotao was slightly stunned, turned his head to look at Yu Congrong, and saw that Yu Congrong did not show the slightest surprise. It was obvious that this kid already knew it before.

Before joining the army, Yu had served as a deputy company commander, so he could be promoted to instructor. After all, with his qualifications and military achievements, he is fully qualified for the job.

Li Guotao asked curiously: "Who will be the company commander then?"

As soon as Li Guotao finished speaking, he saw the eyes of the three people fell on him.

"It can't be me, right?"

"It's you!" Wu Qianli nodded.

Li Guotao asked in disbelief: "How could it be me? I was just promoted to platoon leader not long ago."

Mei Sheng said: "It has been almost two months!"

Li Guotao said: "But during this period, we have been resting and recuperating, and we have not made any new military achievements. I am afraid it is difficult to convince the public that the platoon leader has been promoted to company commander, a promotion of two levels in a row."

In fact, Li Guotao was very happy. After all, this meant that his system mission of becoming a company commander was finally completed. Wu Qianli said, "After the second battle, you made many military achievements. We reported all your contributions truthfully."

"The superiors have approved it. You will be awarded a meritorious service. The certificate and medal will be issued soon."

"Commander Song personally said after learning about your military exploits that Comrade Li Guotao could be promoted three levels in a row based on his military exploits."

"This is the commander's instruction. When you are promoted three levels, you will be the deputy platoon leader. When you are promoted three levels, you will be the company commander. It's just right for you to be the company commander."

"Besides, the Seventh Company just happens to be in need of a company commander, so you are the perfect person to be the company commander."

"Didn't you always ask me to give up my seat to you? Now you get what you want."

This happiness came too suddenly.

Li Guotao was a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Mei Sheng continued, "We have also introduced your situation to our superiors, and the regiment commander also said that your ability is sufficient for the position of commander of the Seventh Company."

"The formal appointment letter will be issued shortly."

Li Guotao said somewhat embarrassedly: "I still feel that this is a bit too sudden."

"After all, he was promoted from deputy platoon leader to be promoted three levels now. It's really too fast."

Wu Qianli smiled and said, "This is the commander's instruction. If you are not suitable, you can go to the Corps Headquarters to report the situation to the commander yourself."

Li Guotao couldn't help rolling his eyes. How the hell do I know where the headquarters is?

Besides, who am I? Do I need to go to the Corps Headquarters in person for such a small matter?

"Then forget it!"

Yu Congrong patted Li Guotao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Little comrade, don't feel stressed. I'm here to help you."

Li Guotao rolled his eyes at Yu Congrong and said unhappily, "You'd better take care of yourself! With your character, can you be a good instructor?"

"Hey~!"

Yu Congrong said angrily: "What do you mean by that? Why can't I be a good instructor?"

Mei Sheng said, "Okay, you two stop making trouble."

"From now on, the two of you will be the backbone of the Seventh Company. I believe that with your abilities, you will definitely not bring disgrace to the reputation of the Seventh Company."

"Yes!"

They both responded in unison.

In addition to the two of them, the Seventh Company also has combat backbones such as Lei Gong. Although the losses are heavy, as long as these backbones are still there, the military spirit is there, and greater glory will surely be created in the future.

Wu Qianli said seriously, "We are about to go to the front line. What awaits us will be fierce battles. My intuition tells me that the war situation in the future may be even more brutal."

"But no matter what, we must do our best to complete the tasks given to us by our superiors and win this battle. We also firmly believe that we can achieve the final victory."

"I am absolutely confident in leaving the Seventh Company to you. I hope that under your leadership, the Seventh Company will achieve greater success."

"Yes! We will definitely live up to the old company commander's high expectations." The two responded quickly.

Wu Qianli smiled bitterly and said, "I never thought that it has only been a short time and I have become a veteran company commander."

Yu Congrong asked, "By the way, how is Captain Tan doing now?"

Mei Sheng smiled and said, "Don't worry about this. We just got the news that Captain Tan has recovered very well and is almost healed. He should be back soon!"

Li Guotao smiled and said, "We also hope that Battalion Commander Tan can return to the front line as soon as possible and lead us to continue killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions."
