Jagged Changjin Lake: Kill the enemy and become stronger

"what?"

Wang Dachui's face froze, he swallowed, and put the remaining half of the cornbread into a dry food bag.

Chapter 670 The Two Faces of the Seventh Cavalry

"Why don't you eat?"

The deputy commander asked in amazement. Looking at Wang Dachui's size, he knew that he must have a big appetite, so that he couldn't even eat half a cornbread.

"Chief, just thinking about canned food makes me feel full."

Wang Dachui had always looked carefree, but at this moment he suddenly showed pain.

"Imagination can also be eaten?"

The deputy commander in chief didn't quite understand what Wang Dachui said.

"It can't be eaten as a meal, but it's nauseating. You don't know, Chief. At first, the canned beef was pretty good, and the stewed cabbage was delicious. Later, the canned meat was gone, and the canned vegetables were stewed in the pot like shit soup. I could make do with it, and then someone who was missing a string made a canned fruit hodgepodge, that taste, tsk tsk..."

Wang Dachui can be considered to have found someone to confide in pain, and he complained endlessly about the years he spent with the canned food.

"Sledgehammer, if you have nothing to do, go change shifts."

Qiao Lin frowned to remind Wang Dachui.

"Oh."

Wang Dachui was obedient and left obediently.

This time the deputy commander didn't laugh, and put the rest of the cornbread into a dry food bag.

His appetite is more than that, but he is also a little full now.

The same goes for Jolin.

With just one mouthful, Wang Dachui managed to leave half a meal for the deputy commander and Qiao Lin.

The soldiers from the reconnaissance squad came back, and Ma Xiangyang jumped off his horse and ran straight towards Qiao Lin.

"Chief, Instructor Qiao!"

Ma Xiangyang stood at attention and saluted the two.

"How about the front?"

Jolin asked.

"Everything is normal, no abnormalities have been found. There is a squadron of little devils patrolling outside Yangqu City. They are divided into three groups. The directions are southwest, south, and southeast. The intersection interval of each two groups is 7 minutes, and the intersection time of the three groups is 1 minutes. , There is a squadron patrolling on the city wall, with six heavy machine guns erected, and simple fortifications such as barbed wire and sandbags outside the city."

Ma Xiangyang replied seriously.

The deputy commander looked down at his watch, and only half an hour had passed since the troops stopped to rest.

In such a short period of time, the scouts had figured out the surrounding situation of the enemy army in Yangqu, and the level of the cavalry company was really extraordinary.

"Deputy Commander, I suggest that we rest for another two hours, and set off on time at nine o'clock, and go around from the southwest."

Qiao Lin thought for a while and made a suggestion to the deputy commander in chief.

"Okay, this time I will follow you, the route and action plan are up to you."

The deputy commander nodded in agreement.

"Then you sit down first, I'll go to Company Commander Sun and the others to study it."

As Qiao Lin said, he got up and went to find Sun Desheng.

"Chief, the soldiers in this cavalry company are awesome. I wanted to talk to them on the way, but no one paid any attention to me."

Seeing Qiao Lin leave, a security guard from the deputy commander came over and said.

It's not a small report, but I feel that the soldiers of the cavalry company are different from ordinary soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. When marching, all of them have sullen faces, and they look like they reject people thousands of miles away.

As the security guard of the head of the headquarters, he usually has more opportunities to deal with the head. After a long time, it is inevitable that he will develop a superior mentality.

Accompanying the chief to inspect the grass-roots troops, the commanders of all departments greeted him politely and with smiles. It was the first time that he was ignored by the cavalry company, and he was really uncomfortable.

"Hehe, this is not a cow. This is the quality that a soldier should have. What kind of state should be shown when performing tasks, and what should be in daily life. They are very clear. Now you go to the soldiers who are resting. , will never ignore you."

The deputy commander smiled and explained to the guards.

Sure enough, the guard stopped the deputy commander, and took the initiative to talk to a soldier who was eating. The other party was not as cold as he was during the day, and started chatting enthusiastically.

After not saying a few words, it was discovered that the two were fellow villagers, and there were more topics to talk about. After a while, they hooked their shoulders and started talking and laughing.

Seeing this scene, the deputy commander secretly sighed.

People are more dead than people, and goods are thrown away.

I didn't think it was a big deal before. After all, the Eighth Route Army valued the equality of officers and soldiers. Even in the headquarters, he never put on the airs of leadership to the soldiers.

The leader is easy to talk, and the soldiers naturally become casual.

But now looking at the soldiers of the cavalry company, that is the real order and prohibition.

In private, you should talk and laugh. When you can perform tasks, you are always in the state. What you think in your heart and what you do at hand will never be mixed with anything unrelated to the task.

Such fighters are not only strong in quality, but also more determined in their will.

After looking at the cavalry company, and then looking at his own guards, the deputy commander suddenly felt that although they were both the Eighth Route Army, there was still a gap between troops and soldiers.

After discussing with Sun Desheng, Chen Youjin and others about the matters that need to be paid attention to when passing through Yangqu City, and how to prevent possible accidents, Qiao Lin returned to the side of the deputy commander.

"Deputy Commander, everything has been arranged. If you are tired, take a nap for a while. I will call you when you leave."

Seeing that the deputy commander-in-chief was bored sitting alone, Qiao Lin offered to suggest.

"It's okay, this journey is not tiring. During the war, it was common to stay up for days and nights."

The boss waved his hand and signaled Qiaolin to sit down.

Qiao Lin knew that these soldiers of the older generation had a stubborn temper, and when their temper came up, they couldn't move nine bulls. The difference was that some were more obvious, such as Li Yunlong, while others were more reserved, such as Chen Lv long.

Since the deputy commander-in-chief said he wasn't tired, he couldn't go on talking, so he just sat down and chatted with him.

"Qiao Lin, I heard from your Brigadier Chen that you are Li Yunlong's bodyguard, and you are the instructor of this cavalry company. What is your identity in the independent regiment?"

The deputy commander asked curiously.

"Well, strictly speaking, it's still our regiment commander's bodyguard. The instructor of the cavalry company is only temporary, and the training period is over."

It is true that Qiao Lin is no longer the instructor of the cavalry company, but the soldiers respect him and still call him an instructor. From the perspective of his position, he has nothing to do with the cavalry company.

"Are you going to be a guard forever?"

The deputy commander began to probe Qiao Lin's tone.

"That's the plan at the moment. Let's see the specific situation. I'm just a brick, and I can move it wherever I need it. Didn't you also say that the deputy commander-in-chief also said that the only difference in the war of resistance is the division of labor, there is no distinction between high and low, and the guards are pretty good."

Qiao Lin nodded and said half-jokingly.

If the system had no other arrangements, he would rather be Li Yunlong's guard.

Even though he is called a security guard, in fact Li Yunlong did not regard him as a security guard. The two of them are more like friends. They talk and laugh together when they are happy, and talk to each other when they are unhappy. What to say is not so particular. .

If you want to be a guard for the leaders of other troops, you may really be a guard. You follow every step of the way every day. You can't talk too much. If you want to do anything, you have to ask the leaders first. It's too restrictive.

"Although we haven't been in contact for a long time, I can see that you are a talented person. Are you interested in serving in the staff department of the headquarters? I think you can have more room to play there."

The deputy commander-in-chief pondered for a moment, then offered an olive branch to Qiao Lin.

Chapter 670 The Dangerous Yangqu City

Qiao Lin was startled, he must be too popular.

Brigadier Chen and Commander Liu both sent similar invitations to him, wanting him to serve in the brigade headquarters or division headquarters, and both of them were in the staff department.

The staff department is the core unit of an army, and all combat-related matters require the staff department to formulate plans.

If going to the front can prove a soldier's military skills, then the staff department is the greatest affirmation of a soldier's military thinking.

In particular, it can be seen that in addition to appreciating Qiao Lin's excellent military skills, the superiors appreciate his intelligence even more.

As the saying goes, it is easy to get a thousand soldiers, but hard to find a good general. Compared with an invincible soldier on the battlefield, the chiefs hope to have a commander who knows how to command the battle.

Now the deputy commander-in-chief also wants to invite Qiao Lin to serve in the staff department of the headquarters, which reflects from the side that the chiefs have the same way of thinking about talents.

The Eighth Route Army has had a staff department since its regiment-level units.

Regimental Staff, Brigade Staff, Divisional Staff.

The staff department of the headquarters is the highest-ranking staff department of the Eighth Route Army, and the lowest-ranking staff department is also a regimental post.

Since the deputy commander personally invited Qiao Lin to join the staff of the headquarters, he naturally didn't just want him to be an ordinary staff.

The intention is already obvious, to provide Qiao Lin with a bigger stage and create more room for development.

As long as he nods, he can jump from an ordinary security guard to a regimental cadre, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he can reach the sky in one step.

But will he agree?

The answer was no. Looking into the expectant eyes of the deputy commander, Qiao Lin finally shook his head: "Deputy commander, if it's not an order, can I refuse?"

Qiao Lin has never paid much attention to the position, otherwise he would have served in the brigade staff or division staff by now.

"Of course it's not an order, it's just my personal suggestion, and you have the right to refuse."

The deputy commander shook his head despite being surprised.

It's just that he felt that Qiao Lin shouldn't reject him.

The headquarters staff department is the place that many Eighth Route Army commanders yearn for.

The deputy commander sent out an invitation, but Qiao Lin rejected it, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

"Can you tell me the reason? I think you should know that this is actually a good choice, whether it is good for the army or for yourself."

The deputy commander took the initiative to break the silence between the two, and asked curiously.

"I think I am a fighter, more suitable for the battlefield..."

Qiao Lin brought up the same set of reasons he had used when he rejected Brigadier Chen.

Although it makes sense, it is somewhat far-fetched.
