Chapter 22: The Regimental Controversy (Second Update!) )
At the regimental headquarters of the 37th Regiment, more than a dozen company and battalion commanders were crowded into the cramped headquarters, all of them bowing their heads and not saying a word, and the atmosphere was very solemn.
Just now, the chief of staff has informed you of the casualties of the troops in the past two days.
It was very large, and it can be said that it was the largest casualty battle since the formation of the 37th Regiment.
279 people were directly killed, 57 were seriously injured, and more than 150 were slightly injured, more than half of the casualties!
There were a total of 10 companies in the whole regiment plus the guard company, and the infantry company with the smallest casualties was only 60 people left until now.
The casualties were larger, such as the second company and the fifth company, and there were only twenty or thirty people left.
"Don't be sullen and don't speak, the higher authorities ordered, withdraw from the position after three hours, rush to the ferry to continue to block, and cover the success of the main force to cross the river, and then we will cross the river!" The regimental commander's calm face broke the increasingly oppressive atmosphere of the command.
"There is no doubt that those seriously injured who cannot return to the team even if they recover will definitely stay and be placed in the homes of ordinary people!"
"My idea is to find a hidden village to resettle them in the same way as our previous resettlement plan, and give fifty oceans for each seriously injured person left!"
"The biggest problem now is the seriously wounded who can return to the team to continue fighting after recovery, and the lightly wounded who can't leave for the time being! The chief of staff has already counted, a total of sixty-five people, and there are all in each company! ”
"Whether these people stay or take them away must be determined immediately!"
"Time is limited, don't let me be bored, open your mouth one by one, say all your thoughts, and discuss a result as soon as possible."
"Definitely going to take it away!" The commander of the fifth company, who suffered the most casualties, blurted out!
"Among the sixty-five people, the fifth company accounts for nine, if all nine of these nine people return to the team, the fifth company will have one more squad of troops!"
"These people are all veterans who have experienced life and death, crawled out of the sea of blood and fire corpses, and their combat effectiveness is very strong."
"If the troops have the opportunity to add some new recruits in the future, these people will be the seeds for the fifth company to restore its combat effectiveness."
"Even if one person only brings two recruits out, the fifth company can have one more platoon of troops!"
"If the regiment headquarters can't allocate people to carry them, I will send people to carry them myself, even if I fight for my life, I will carry them away, so as not to let them fall behind!"
The commander of the second battalion of Jean Commander followed closely and added.
"I agree with Company Commander Li's opinion, even if two companies are specially assigned to take care of them, they can't be left behind!"
"Commander, you don't know, now there is a saying in the troops that they would rather be killed by the enemy on the battlefield than be injured."
"After several seriously wounded people were sent off the battlefield, not only did they not receive medical treatment, but they also chose to commit suicide!"
"They all know that once they are injured and can't keep up with the team, they will be left here by the troops and placed on the spot!"
"Behind is the main force of the white dogs and the Qingxiang regiment that does all kinds of evil, as long as you stay, eighty percent will not survive, and you will be caught and tortured by the white dogs!"
"The fighters are not afraid of sacrifice, but they are afraid that the troops will leave them here!"
"I'm injured, I can't move, I really touch the white dog, I don't even have the ability to fight back, I can only let the white dog torture!"
"I think we must not allow this kind of thinking to continue to spread in the hearts of the fighters, and we must not let the fighters feel cold!"
"After a long time, it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the troops!"
"That's right, you must carry them away!" As soon as the second battalion commander finished speaking, he was echoed by many battalion and company commanders.
They also had the same confusion and worries in their hearts as the commander of the first battalion.
The regiment commander did not speak with a calm face, and the chief of staff next to him couldn't help it.
"Like you, I want to march with them, and I don't want to give up any of them, but have you ever thought about the current situation of our 37th Regiment!"
"Excluding the wounded, the whole regiment is less than five hundred intact fighters!"
"Sixty-five wounded who needed to be carried on stretchers to march, plus the seriously wounded who were already in the regiment, all added up to eighty men and eighty stretchers."
"A stretcher with two warriors to carry, we need to draw out one hundred and sixty warriors to take care of them!"
"If a stretcher is paired with three soldiers, it is two hundred and forty people, which is equivalent to half of the combat effectiveness of the whole regiment!"
"If you meet a white dog halfway, what will the troops do!"
"When the time comes, not only will the wounded not survive, but the whole regiment may be affected!"
The second battalion commander replied stubbornly: "I reserve my opinion!" ”
"No matter what, I am against leaving these wounded, that is to let them die, too many times will chill the remaining soldiers in the regiment!"
"Don't even fight?" The silent regimental commander finally spoke.
"Political commissar, what is the specific situation of those wounded, including the dozen or so wounded that the regiment headquarters already had!"
The political commissar replied with a serious face: "Half of the 42 wounded can recover successively within ten days to half a month, and they can walk and march on the ground." ”
"But there is a condition for this, the regiment must ensure their nutrition!"
"We don't have many medicines, and many of the soldiers' wounds are made with traditional Chinese medicine, which is slow to take effect. It must be accompanied by adequate nutrition so that they can recover as quickly as possible! ”
"Other wounded can recover within a month as long as there are no accidents under the condition of ensuring nutrition!"
The regiment commander frowned and thought for a long time, and finally made a decision: "Then take them all with you!" ”
Then he stared at the commander of the first battalion and asked, "How many people are left in the first battalion now?" ”
"There are still 111 people intact, and 28 lightly wounded people who can keep up with the team!" The commander of the first battalion blurted out without thinking about it!
The regiment commander did not speak, and after turning his gaze to the political commissar, he continued to ask: "How many people can the regiment headquarters draw out under the condition of ensuring normal operation." ”
"Fifteen!" The commissar hesitated for a few seconds to answer.
The regiment commander finally stopped hesitating and ordered very decisively: "Send all of them to the first battalion, and draw another platoon from the guard company to reinforce the first battalion!" ”
"All the seriously wounded of the whole regiment, including the lightly wounded of each company, were also sent to the first battalion!"
"From now on, one battalion will have one mission, to ensure that all the light and serious wounded keep up with the team and ensure their safety!"
"The other two battalions, in order to ensure combat effectiveness, will downsize the troops according to the actual strength of each company, and ensure that each squad must have ten people!"
"The company is reduced into platoons, and the company commander should be the platoon commander!"
"All the light and serious wounded left in the first battalion, one will be recovered, and one will be returned to the team to ensure the combat effectiveness of the combat troops!"
"Please rest assured that the first battalion will ensure that it will complete its mission and not give up every lightly or seriously wounded!" The commander of the first battalion was very reluctant, and the main force was used as a transport team, and anyone who touched it would be unhappy. But the head of the regiment stared, no matter how reluctant he was, he could only force a smile and answer with a serious face.
The regiment commander nodded, and unexpectedly shifted his gaze to the second company commander.
"Zhang Yu, in addition to protecting and transporting all the light and serious wounded, your second company also has a task, that is, to ensure the nutrition of all the light and serious wounded!"
"You heard what the political commissar said just now, we can't solve the medicine for the time being, we can only strengthen nutrition to let those wounded recover as soon as possible!"
"This task will be handed over to you, these days, the whole regiment will eat the best for your second company!"
"I have another proposal, although your subordinate Haozi is a doll cook. But the nutrition of so many light and serious wounded in the whole regiment had to be brought back by him. Therefore, Haozi is very important to our 37th Regiment. ”
"I suggest that he be appointed as the deputy squad leader of the cooking squad to assist the old squad leader to be responsible for the food of the wounded and to provide nutritional products for the troops."
"In addition, a few people from the other two cooking classes in the first battalion will be drawn to them, and two or three people will be specially selected for Haozi to assist Haozi in making nutritional products."
"Last but not least, there must be a special guard among these people to protect Haozi's safety!"
