Show the sword, start from the guerrillas

Chapter 133 Chapter 132, Second Mate? ?
Li Yuexuan thought it was a meeting for cadres above squad leaders, but when he arrived at the east wing, he only saw three team leader-level cadres: Zhao Danian, Xing Weiguo and Zhu Xingyu.

Before Li Yuexuan could ask any questions, Zhao Danian asked with a smile, "Peregrine, what do you think of the Taoist priests' performance in today's grenade launcher training?"

"Captain, do you think I'm a god? We just conducted a range-finding level test. We haven't taught them how to measure distance with a telescope yet. What can they see?"

"Then... can you train four qualified grenade throwers? Based on your previous training in the third division, can you give me some advice?" Xing Weiguo asked.

"Well, they all know how to measure distances and do math, and they are at the level of an accountant! And the shooting training during this period also shows that their lower bodies are very stable, and their arms are very strong and steady! So, if nothing unexpected happens, these 12 Taoist priests can all become qualified grenade throwers! The difference is that some can practice to a hit rate of 7%, and some to 5%."

"That's settled! The issue of the grenade throwers has been resolved!" Zhu Xingyu clapped his hands, and then said, "According to my opinion, the Taoist priests can pick out four people to be our grenade throwers. Then let Zhang Lu lead Du Tian in one group, and Bai Dashan lead Chen Side in another group. In this way, the four groups of grenade throwers in the two platoons will have suitable candidates!"

"Yes, sure!" Zhao Danian and Xing Weiguo looked at each other, then nodded and said, "Zhang Lu and Bai Dabao are also old comrades. They will be assigned to the first and second rows respectively. Then, the two groups of Taoist priests will also be divided into one group each in the first and second rows. This will not affect the combat effectiveness, and there will be veterans leading them. It's OK!"

Zhao Danian finished speaking, then turned to look at Li Yuexuan, and said with a smile: "No matter how they are divided into four groups, the impact on us is not as great as the impact on Comrade Peregrine! As long as Comrade Peregrine still has a grenade launcher in his hand and grenades on him, we will be particularly relieved! So, Comrade Peregrine, you still have to carry a grenade launcher group, what do you think?"

"I will follow the organization's arrangements completely!" Li Yuexuan stood up and said, "Jiang Daquan and Xu Hongying, who have been with me all this time, let them stay with me! In tomorrow's training, let Jiang Daquan and Xu Hongying also participate in the grenade launcher learning. If possible, I will train Jiang Daquan as well!"

"Okay! We feel relieved with your statement! Then, let's discuss your problem!" Zhao Danian's application became serious, which made Li Yuexuan a little nervous.

However, when Zhao Danian took out a small notebook from his pocket, he put on a smiling face and said, "Here, this is the special merit certificate given to you by the headquarters. It has been kept secret for the past few days and will be officially issued to you today! Don't object. First of all, we are too busy with conscription training during this period, and your situation needs to be kept secret, so I will issue it to you secretly today! You have to hide it well. You cannot publicize such an honor to others, so you should bear it!"

"Ah... Special Merit? How could I have received a special merit?" Li Yuexuan took the special merit in his hand in a daze. He saw the words, signature and seal on it, and felt it was very unreal. It has only been a short time, and he has already received a first-class merit and a special merit? ?
"The specific situation is the merit of the battle of talcum tablets. It's better for you to understand it in detail! By the way, when will you write your application? Submit it as soon as you finish it! Although Comrade Huang said that the materials you wrote are more qualified than an application, the necessary procedures are still necessary!" Zhao Danian nodded at Li Yuexuan with a smile.

"Application..." Li Yuexuan's eyes were bright, and then he nodded vigorously: "I will write it when I get back and give it to you tomorrow!"

"Well, now that we have finished talking about the organization, let's discuss the organization of the guerrillas!" Xing Weiguo saw that he had almost finished talking, so he said something rather confusing, but everyone understood it. "With the training of the new recruits, it is time for our guerrillas to complete their organization! We have no problem with the personnel, equipment, or cadres, except for Comrade Youshun. We have been thinking about it for a long time, but we have not been able to come up with a suitable position for him. So, let's discuss Comrade Youshun's position first." Zhao Danian said.

"This is really a difficult problem! We in the Eighth Route Army don't rely on seniority, but we also consider personal ability and combat achievements. Comrade Peregrine is unique in our guerrillas in terms of both ability and combat achievements! Therefore, it is not appropriate for him to be a squad leader! However, the headquarters requires you to stay in the back as much as possible to ensure safety, which is difficult to do!"

Xing Weiguo pointed at himself as he spoke: "At first I wanted you to be my deputy captain, but Old Zhao kicked me. The deputy captain is supposed to lead the charge and fight. It's not okay to put you in this position!"

"I also thought about giving my position as chief of staff to you, but the chief of staff also has to take the lead in leading the troops in battle, and is also responsible for the security of the team headquarters, so my suggestion was rejected," said Zhu Xingyu.

"It's okay for me to give you the position of captain, but it's not good for you to stand out too much! In fact, the guerrillas also have quartermasters, but they are not suitable for you. After all, you need a certain amount of free time to write, and it can't take up too much of your time." Zhao Danian smiled and said, "So, the three of us spent a lot of time brainstorming and arranged the title of second deputy captain for you! At the same time, you will also serve as the platoon leader of the supplementary platoon. Oh, this supplementary platoon has just been formed, and its goal is to bring new recruits into the war as a supplement to the front-line troops." Zhao Danian said.

"And in order to allow you to perform to the best of your abilities, your position as monitor of the comprehensive class will still be retained. It is also appropriate to arrange the comprehensive class together with the supplementary class!" Zhu Xingyu said.

"Don't underestimate this second deputy captain. The result of our discussion is that you have the fourth-order command of the guerrillas! If I die, Xing Weiguo will take over the command. If Xing Weiguo dies, Zhu Xinyu will take over the command. If Zhu Xingyu dies, the guerrillas will be handed over to you!" said Zhao Danian.

"Well...Okay, I understand, I accept this position! It's just that, we are obviously an army guerrilla team, so how come we have a first mate and a second mate...Haha..." Li Yuexuan laughed at himself.

"What's the big deal? Our guerrillas are a whole and can also be seen as a ship! As long as we all work together, this ship will be able to overcome all obstacles, ride the wind and waves, and never sink!" said Zhu Xingyu.

"Don't say you're unsinkable. That's unlucky! Let's talk about the organization of the guerrillas! My problem has been solved, so how do we arrange the next infantry platoon?"
